Volume 1 Born at the Right Time Chapter 46 A Sword Strikes Water
Just as Xiao Jiansheng leaned his back against the tree trunk, closed his eyes intently, and gasped for breath, two people came with ghostly figures and tiptoes of water.
Xiao Jiansheng didn't pay attention to it, he killed five people in a row just now, his mind consumption was very serious, and his body was a little tired, he had to seize the time to rest, so as to deal with the big man in the next sedan chair.
When the two rushed to less than thirty zhang away from the hunting boy, they stopped for a moment, nodded to each other, and then the two of them pulled away and suddenly increased their speed, leaving two vigorous figures in the rain curtain, and when the two were less than twenty zhang away from the boy, the two of them pulled out the white-bladed long knife at their waists and rushed directly to the tree at a faster speed.
Although the two of them are not cultivators, nor do they have a keen sense of cultivation, they have long been familiar with doing this kind of murder in the dark, and they have already locked the position of the young man when there is a light, and then no matter how the young man moves his position, he can't escape the ability of the pair of ears and corners of his eyes to adapt to the dark night, but since the moment they saw the five companions fall silently, their judgment has been a little sluggish.
Therefore, he didn't know anything about the red sword hidden in the stagnant water under his feet, and even the black sword that came in an instant, hovering above his head after breaking raindrops, was also unaware, just when the two of them just appeared about fifteen zhang behind the young man, a few splashes appeared on the calm water surface, and a red line crossed the neck of one of them, when he obviously felt that he was breathless and unstable, and the other instinctively wanted to protect his bare neck, a black line rotated around his knife-holding wrist, and the white-bladed long knife suddenly fell to the ground, and when he felt the emptiness between his hands, the neck was already cold and like a wind blowingγ
They would never have thought until they died, why the boy had chosen to put a knife in the neck.
Just because the young man who was assassinated by them, although he can kill people with a sword, his realm is also very low, and he can't pass through his body with a sword, so he can only find a good position to start, such as his neck, such as his eyes.
Almost a breath or two between them, two crossbowmen fell to the ground and died, without convulsions, without shouting, lying sideways in the rain.
The remaining three people, seeing that they could no longer find a chance to start, just when they were in a dilemma, the sedan chair in the distance moved slowly, and suddenly a sword light rose to the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the person in the sedan chair took the sword as his eye, and had locked the position of Xiao Jiansheng in the sky.
Xiao Jiansheng's expression trembled slightly, and he clearly sensed a sharp killing intent enveloping him, and in the blink of an eye, Hua Ling's double swords were recalled to the front, hovering about fifteen zhang outside him, the tip of the sword was facing outward, quiet and silent.
At this moment, it seemed that time had stopped, only the silver rain line cut through the darkness and fell on Xiao Jiansheng's already soaked body, probably because of the long time he had been soaked in the rain, Xiao Jiansheng's face turned a little whiter, and even his lips were white.
Just when his heart was beating faster and faster, suddenly, a sword came from a hundred zhang in the air, and the sharp blade slapped down the raindrops, and the raindrops turned into embroidered water swords in an instant and stabbed at Xiao Jiansheng's location, and there were so many raindrops in the sky, so there were countless embroidered water swords stabbing at Xiao Jiansheng.
At first, Xiao Jiansheng was still able to smash part of the embroidered water sword with the Hualing double sword, after a few breaths, his body could no longer distinguish between sweat and rain, and the whole person was back to the trunk of the tree and the sea was empty, as the mind was close to exhaustion, the action of the Hualing double sword to break the raindrops became slower and slower, and finally fell to the ground.
Immediately after, one after another embroidered water swords stabbed at Xiao Jiansheng, and in an instant, except for his back, hundreds of small blood holes were pierced in other parts of his body, and hundreds of red blood quickly turned cold and melted into the rain, flowing to the ground, and the blood flowed like a river.
Xiao Jiansheng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and his lips clenched, as if he had given up resistance and let the blood on his body run out.
Suddenly, the sedan chair moved forward more than a dozen feet, and an old and cool voice smiled: "The old body didn't want to bully you a young doll with the strength of almost the five realms, but there is no way to do it, so ...... Now you can go and die. β
Xiao Jiansheng didn't seem to hear the laughter of the self-proclaimed old man in the sedan chair, or that he heard it, but he didn't have time to respond.
At this moment, the long sword at a height of 100 zhang was already disdainful of small fights, and suddenly appeared twenty zhang in front of Xiao Jiansheng, the tip of the sword pointed at his neck, and the slender sword body trembled violently, shaking the nearby raindrops and flying out, turning into a snow-colored light and shadow that flew in an instant.
Xiao Jiansheng's face was unusually calm, as if he didn't know that the long sword was about to take his life, at this moment, his world was completely blank, he was looking for something in that white world, or a feeling, once on the bank of that river, he fell into an extremely subtle realm, in that realm, he was the master, it seemed that only by recovering that feeling, he could block this long sword.
The long sword roared, piercing through the canopy of the sycamore tree, cutting off countless branches and leaves, and stabbing straight at the throat of Xiao Jiansheng.
However, at this moment, the rain stopped, as if the whole world had cleared up.
There was a light sigh in the sedan chair, and suddenly someone lifted the curtain and rose, a pair of deep eyes looked out with slight anger, and saw that in the dark sky, the silver rain line was suspended in the air, a few feet away from the ground, and the tip of a slender flying sword was against the throat of a young man.
Shao leaning, he wanted to move the flying sword away, but no matter how he used his strength, the sword did not move at all, the young man had to get up quickly, avoid the tip of the sword, and looked at the outline of the sedan chair in the distance with a cold look, and in a blink of an eye, he looked at a carriage farther away from Tieniu Alley, and chuckled.
Behind the carriage were three people who were closely followed, with hats on their heads, covered in robes, and crossbow arrows in their hands pointed weakly at the old and young in the carriage, but they did not dare to shoot out.
At this moment, the old woman in the sedan chair said to the drowsy coachman in the carriage: "Huang Daoling, do you recognize the old body, do you know who the old body is?"
The coachman named Huang Daoling yawned for a long time, and the white mist that erupted from his mouth actually sprayed into a circle, and he still lay down and said: "Who are you in charge of the old man's business, the old man has long lost the mind of taking a concubine, so you don't come to this set, as for who you work for, let alone do the old man's business, the old man just does things with his heart, which can be regarded as his duty, quickly put away your embroidered sword, don't scare the child." β
The old woman said angrily: "What if you don't accept it, do you dare to ......?"
Before she could finish speaking, the long sword hovering in the air burst open, turning into pieces of metal and falling into the stagnant water.
The old woman suddenly said angrily: "Huang Daoling, if it is not the affairs of the four major families, you dare to meddle?"
The coachman Huang Daoling sat up leisurely, slapped the horse's buttocks, and when the carriage came to Xiao Jiansheng's approach, he said with a smile: "The old man of the four major families can't afford to provoke, but it's not enough to scare the old man into acting against his conscience. β
Huang Daoling yawned again, and just when Xiao Jiansheng looked at the old man and felt quite in love, a woman in the carriage hurriedly said to Xiao Jiansheng: "What about you, why don't you get in the car quickly, waiting to be bullied?"
Xiao Jiansheng suddenly realized this, and stumbled towards the carriage.
The carriage carried Tang Xin and Xiao Jiansheng into the night, and the rain continued to begin to fall, but there was an old woman in the rain, her eyes were like fire, and she vowed to burn the three people in the carriage to ashes.
In the rain, the carriage turned into a black shadow and drove away from Tieniu Alley, speeding south, Xiao Jiansheng almost just climbed into the car, stretched out regardless of it, his eyes were closed weakly, and soon made a whirring sound.
Tang Xin glanced at Xiao Jiansheng, who was covered in blood, and said worriedly: "Uncle Huang, he is seriously injured, do you want to find a medical hall to take a look?"
The coachman Huang Daoling didn't reply, and lazily replied with five words: "Don't worry, you can't die." β
Tang Xin looked at the muddy back and said angrily: "Speak well!"
Huang Daoling straightened his body slightly, and said with a smile: "The mind is close to exhaustion, and if you can pick up a life under the masters of the Nearly Five Realms, you have to pay a little price, and it is estimated that you will sleep for ten days and a half months, otherwise the sea of qi will be damaged." β
The carriage drifted away until the rain was about to stop, when it began to slow down.
