Chapter 22: Minor setbacks in escalation
"This is the dog slave that Wang Ba put in, and he is only three or four heavenly cultivators. Isn't there a little bit of cultivation just a little higher? ”
Sanqi shouted at the top of his voice.
"Sister, you can't keep a low profile."
Dandan said to Sanqi dissatisfied.
"Ahem, sister is low-key enough. Xian'er, do you say no? ”
Sanqi affectionately grabbed Xian'er's arm.
"Well, Sister Zihan is already very low-key, and I will let these turtle grandsons see what is really high-profile!"
Xian'er frowned and stared at everyone coldly.
……
"Look for death!"
Li Yan spit out two words with difficulty in his mouth, the cultivation of this killer is different from that of a samurai.
The price of cultivating one killer can train at least a few dozen ordinary samurai. Four or five killers died at once just now, and the losses can be imagined.
The killing intent of several black-clothed people beside him was released, they had debuted for so long, and it was the first time they had encountered this situation, and they hung up a few before they appeared.
It's a shame!
Without waiting for Li Yan's order, he swished and turned into dozens of afterimages to surround Gu Ren and his party.
Gu Ren didn't speak, just glanced at Li Yan calmly, and then looked at the people in the rivers and lakes.
"Hehe, yes, there are a few more five-fold heavens. It's not in vain that the sect leader goes out of the city once. ”
Gu Ren's eyes were casual and approachable, and the corners of his mouth were a little smiling, as if he was looking at the poultry fed in his yard, thinking about when to slaughter these poultry.
The people in the rivers and lakes became nervous and stared at Gu Ren.
This young man dared to defy dozens of killers, targeting them, treating them as lambs to the slaughter, not ordinary arrogance.
They were furious...... Very angry. However, they are not impulsive, because impulsiveness is the devil...... In the morning, such an innocent sect rushed in, and none of them came out, it was a living example, a bloody lesson.
"Why do I think this person looks familiar?"
Prince Xin frowned and looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan looked at Emperor Xin's Prince Ji Xian'er, his eyes were a little flustered, but he instantly regained his composure, staring at Gu Ren indifferently and angrily.
"I also feel a little familiar, he has changed his face."
Prince Ji said with great certainty.
"Needless to say, I guessed who he was...... I really know people and don't know my heart, I gave you an apple last month, and you will kill me today. ”
The corners of Xian'er's mouth curled, a sneer appeared, her small fists were clenched tightly, and her knuckles made a snapping sound, which showed that she was very angry.
Although Li Yan and Prince Ji are half-brothers, Li Yan is more than ten years older than them, and not long after they were born, Li Yan was crowned king and left Chang'an. There are few opportunities to meet. What's more, Li Yan has changed his appearance now, and the difference from his original appearance is too big to recognize.
The reason why Xian'er recognized it was because she had followed Gao Lishi to Shanxi once last month and happened to meet Li Yan.
"A bunny bunny who pretends to be a ghost and babbles, go up and take off their heads!"
Li Yan was worried that Xian'er really recognized him, so he hurriedly ordered.
"Wait a minute!"
Gu Ren raised his arm.
"What do you mean? Scared? Want to throw in the towel? ”
Li Yan wondered.
"Cut ......"
Gu Ren glanced at him with disdain. Li Yan was furious and waved his hand to prepare for the killer brothers to attack.
"Hey, didn't I tell you to wait a minute, why don't you talk about morality? There's a grove over there, there's a kind, go head-to-head with the master in the grove, and the master singles out a group of you! ”
Gu Ren patted his chest and said proudly.
"Wow......**! One person singles out dozens of killers! ”
Some people over there were surprised.
"Just to die."
The other person on the side said disdainfully.
……
"That embarrassing make-up, brother can recognize your true identity at a glance, do you agree or not?"
Gu Ren was interested.
"Good! Send you to death and it will be you! ”
Li Yan gritted his teeth. He knew Gu Ren's intentions and didn't want these killers to hurt a few children. However, he didn't want to kill Prince Xin, Prince Ji and Xian'er in front of many martial arts people. What's more, what killers are good at is not killing people in the right and bright light, but killing each other with the help of various things and items such as covers. The grove is more suitable for the killers to play their normal water products.
"Well, there is! In that case, let's go to the grove over there with my brother. ”
Gu Ren strode forward and walked forward.
"Oh, my brother, you can take me with you...... Fighting and killing people or something, I like it the most......"
Xian'er grabbed Gu Ren's sleeve in a daze.
"Hey, Xian'er, it's my turn!"
Sanqi was dissatisfied.
"Wow......"
"Not really......"
The people in the rivers and lakes are staggered...... These two little girls don't want to die, they are dozens of killers, and there is also a super killer in the late stage of the Fifth Heaven. With such a powerful lineup, it would be easy to destroy even a small sect!
"Ahem, ahem...... Xian'er, little three, don't mess around, stand here honestly. And your side, hurry up and prepare gold, if you don't redeem people tonight, the price will increase tomorrow! Kiss! ”
Gu Ren frowned at Sanqi and Xian'er, and only after Sanqi and Xian'er nodded did he leave. Dozens of killers, very dangerous. What's more, there is a super killer in the late stage of the Fifth Heaven in it. After entering, he couldn't guarantee Xian'er Sanqi's safety.
"People who are dying, still thinking about gold!"
"Death!"
The people in the rivers and lakes said indignantly.
"Murmur again, be careful that the master turns around and cleans up your turtle grandsons!"
Gu Ren coldly swept over the group of martial arts people, and suddenly fell silent.
"Puff ......"
Xian'er Sanqi Xin Prince Ji Prince...... Cannot help laughing.
……
Inside the grove, Gu Ren took the first step.
Fight mode is exactly what is on......
The sound of weapons colliding with each other, the sound of slitting blood from throats or stabbing bodies, and the sound of trees breaking and corpses falling to the ground.
All eyes were on there, intently watching.
The strong smell of blood wafted through the air, making people can't help but vomit.
The time of a stick of incense has passed......
The fighting in the grove continued, but it was obviously not as intense as it had been, and everyone frowned and wondered.
Could it be that Gu Ren, the leader of the Heavenly Machine Sect, was injured and was about to be ambushed?
Some people were overjoyed, as long as Gu Ren, the leader of the Heavenly Machine Sect, died, there would be no need to ransom people with gold.
Some people frowned, and dozens of killers had not killed this Heavenly Machine Sect Master in a single stick of incense, which showed the terrifying extent of this person. They looked at the gold they brought, there were a few hundred taels, and they should be able to redeem the people in the sect. A few hundred taels of gold were wasted like this, so I was unwilling......
Li Yan's brows furrowed, it was obvious that he was very confused and nervous.
This batch of killers was personally cultivated by him, and he knew very well how powerful the attack power was, and now that a stick of incense time had passed, he hadn't killed that young man yet.
It's incredible......
He looked back at Prince Xin, Prince Ji, and Xian'er, who were looking at him with a malicious smile.
"Boiled beans burn beans, and beans cry in the kettle. This is the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other! ”
Dandan is a man of great wisdom and reads a seven-step poem by Cao Zhi, the deep meaning of which is self-evident.
"Shut your foul mouth, damn it!"
Li Yan clenched his fists, eager to come up and kill Dan Dan immediately. But seeing Sanqi and Xian'er's unscrupulous gaze, he could only give up this idea. Xian'er and Sanqi Zhou's body aura emerged, obviously above the four heavens, and it was not something he could deal with.
"You should be the one who keeps your mouth shut. If I were you, I'd leave here without looking back. This may be your last chance. ”
Dandan was not angry, he smiled, and said calmly.
"Crazy ......"
Li Yan wanted to scream arrogance, but after hearing that the direction of the grove was quiet again, he felt a little ominous in his heart. Dozens of killers, none of them came out. The grove was silent, without a sound.
This silence gives one an unusually oppressive feeling.
"Let's go quickly, if Senior Brother comes out, you won't have a chance."
Dan Dan said kindly.
The prince of the letter and the prince of the prince Xian'er did not speak, which was regarded as a default to the words of the ball. The purpose of this thinking is twofold.
First, they are young and too simple and kind, guessing that the other party is their brother, and thinking of brotherhood.
Second, whether he is right or wrong, if Gu Ren kills him, he will inevitably be strongly resisted by the royal family, and even fight against each other and become enemies. That's not what they want to see.
Li Yan held on to the last glimmer of hope and looked inside the grove. He still doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe that Gu Ren can single-handedly pick up dozens of killers.
Half a pillar of incense time passed again, and it was still quiet inside, without a sound.
The people in the rivers and lakes frowned, and Sanqi Xian'er and others also frowned.
"Are they all doomed?"
Someone whispered.
"It seems that there is a possibility. It's a blessing in disguise. ”
Someone else breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Gu Ren, the leader of the Heavenly Machine Sect, is dead, it will be fine.
"If you are so reluctant, do you have to make a move from the sect leader's wife!"
Sanqi stared at Li Yan and walked forward, ready to make a move. This is just in case, in case Gu Ren loses, to be controlled. She now controls the other party, and in case it appears, it can also be used as a quid pro quo.
"Childish! If it weren't for the fact that this son saw that you were so young, you would have died in Huangquan for the time being. This son doesn't want to fall into the reputation of bullying the small, so that the brothers in the rivers and lakes will laugh, don't let me pass by, don't ask this son to see you next time! ”
Li Yan said coldly, and before he finished speaking, he grabbed the reins of the horse next to him, turned over on the horse, and whipped away.
"Don't run!"
Sanqi wants to chase. Dandan grabbed the corner of her clothes and whispered in a low voice.
"Don't chase it, my senior brother is injured and is breathing inside. Take it when you see it. ”
"What? Gu Lang is injured? ”
Sanqi's face changed, and the face of Prince Ji of Xian'er Xin next to him changed.
"Shh......h Don't talk. ”
Dan Dan gestured with his eyes, and Sanqi and Xian'er Xin Prince Ji pretended to be nothing.
"Heroes, now that the thief is dead, why don't we rush into the city and rescue the imprisoned knights?"
In the crowd, a man encouraged.
"Yes! There are only a few children left, and they can't stop me! ”
Another man in the crowd chimed in.
Suddenly, all the people in the rivers and lakes were ready to move, staring at the prince of Sanqi Xian'er Xin......
……
"Ahem, ahem...... Who's got itchy skin? ”
At this moment, a lazy voice came from the grove, and everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the sound.
In the grove, Gu Ren walked out leisurely, his eyes were half confused, he opened his mouth and yawned, looking sleepy.
"Ah...... He...... He ......"
"He's not dead!"
"Holy...... Non-humans! ”
The people of the rivers and lakes are angry and sad...... Sad...... Dozens of killers didn't kill him...... **!
"Whoever looks again, the ransom is doubled!"
Gu Ren's eyes widened.
The people in the rivers and lakes immediately turned around and retreated again and again.
"Gu Lang, did you go inside to sleep?"
Sanqi hurriedly helped Gu Ren.
"That brother of mine...... Wake up, there's still such a big deal of business waiting for us. ”
Xian'er hurriedly grabbed Gu Ren's other arm and looked at the people over there.
Dan Dan hurriedly gave Xian'er a look, Xian'er was stunned at first, but then saw that there was blood spilling from the corner of Gu Ren's mouth, and if it weren't for Sanqi's support, he would have already fallen to the ground.
"Uh, I'm sleepy, let's do it tomorrow. Whoever doesn't pay enough gold to destroy him! ”
Gu Ren said intermittently, hearing that in the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes, it was like drinking drunk and amplifying words.
"Count you lucky, tomorrow morning you will bring enough gold and come to the gate of Tianji Temple to redeem people!"
Xian'er pretended to be very calm, followed behind Gu Ren Sanqi, and entered the city gate.
"Alas, I told you a long time ago, don't bring wine to Gu Lang, you want it! Okay now, drunk, right? ”
"What are you afraid of, Mr. is drunk to be powerful, kill one in one move!"
"By the way, Sir's drunken dream is already at full level...... You can easily torture and kill the Eight Heavens master! ”
Dan Dan and Prince Ji followed behind, boasting to each other and confusing the public.
A large group of people outside looked at each other, and no one dared to follow up.
……
Inside the city, Gu Ren had just returned to the tent of Tianji Temple, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Gu Lang, what's wrong with you?"
Sanqi said nervously.
"Senior brother, what's going on?"
Dandan'er Xin, Prince Ji, and Prince Ji are also very nervous.
"I absorbed some internal force and prepared to advance to the Sixth Heaven, but I failed, so I suffered internal injuries."
Gu Ren sat cross-legged on the bed with Sanqi's support, his face pale.
"I didn't expect that the promotion to the Sixth Heaven requires more than just internal strength! There are also corresponding martial arts. ”
Gu Ren then sighed.
