Chapter 38 The Four Ghosts Killing Array (Part II)
Zhao Zheng drew his sword out of its sheath and met Xu Tai who was blocking the door, and tested it with a trick of "lonely guest asking for directions", and tapped Xu Tai's shoulder with the tip of the sword. Among the five ghosts who moved mountains, Xu Tai's cultivation was the highest, and he had reached the realm of the Four Heavens, if he could defeat Xu Tai, the rest of the ghosts would not be afraid.
Xu Tai, like Zhao Zheng, also had the intention of testing it first, brewed a few back moves in the moves, and the palm behind his back quickly poked out, made a bird's beak gesture, lightly "pecked" the sword body, and swept away the sword sword, and felt the strength of the sword.
"This person has good martial arts, you should be careful." Xu Tai judged Zhao Zheng's general strength in the hand-to-hand encounter, issued a warning to his family in a deep voice, changed his tactics between words, and jumped aside with a move "Pengcheng Wanli".
Zhao Zheng chased after him with a sword, the sword was fast and fierce, but he didn't kill him, he only aimed at the edge of Xu Tai's chest.
Xu Tai dodged again, and he dodged Qingguang Huohuo's life sword.
An old man and a young man fought in one place, and they clashed several times in a short moment. When the other three ghosts saw this scene, they all secretly sweated for Xu Tai.
"Stinky boy, you have the ability to come at me." Xu Chu let out a low sigh and attacked Zhao Zheng's back from behind. His palms are thick, and his claws are similar to tiger claws, which are far from the word spirit bird claws.
Zhao Zheng didn't even look back, and according to the direction of the strong wind behind him, he directly put the sword behind his back.
Xu Chu's claws almost caught the blade of the sword, and he retracted his hand in danger, and because he was too eager to recruit, he was hit by his own internal force and took two steps back.
Taking advantage of this gap, Xu Tai got rid of Zhao Zheng's entanglement, and set up a shrunken version of the "Five Ghost Fan Killing Array" with his family. They all stood their feet. surrounded Zhao Zheng in the center.
The four ghosts began to circle around Zhao Zheng. Because they didn't want to attract the attention of outsiders, they stepped on the ground when they moved, and they didn't dare to jump high and jump over the barrier of the courtyard wall.
The most important thing in the Five Ghosts Killing Array is the word "mystery", which aims to confuse the enemy with rapid movement, making people unable to start. The more porous the formation, the more dangerous it is.
Zhao Zheng broke the formation for the first time, and he intended to learn a little experience in this battle, so he did not rush to attack, but entangled with it with a flexible and changeable Luo Yanbu. He ran quickly in the formation, rushing left and right, pinning down the four ghosts.
With Zhao Zheng as the center, the four ghosts constantly changed their positions, sometimes crossing over, sometimes advancing and retreating rapidly, whenever Zhao Zheng was about to break out of the encirclement. Two or three people joined forces to attack Zhao Zheng's back flaw, and the offense and defense were moderate. No mess at all.
Zhao Zheng's strength is there, although he is one against four, he still does not fall behind, and he dances the sword of his life into flowers, guarding the door around him. In the process of fighting, he gradually figured out the doorways of some formations.
The so-called formation is to attack by multiple people, relying on ingenious cooperation to achieve the purpose of enhancing lethality, and whether the cooperation is tacit or not directly determines the power intensity of the formation. These four ghosts are all relatives whose blood is thicker than water, so they cooperate very tacitly and give full play to the power of the formation, but it is a pity that there is one less person in the formation, resulting in a big gap in the formation.
The four ghosts flickered forward and backward, left and right, and although all of them were silent and no one spoke out to command, there was never a mistake in the battle. These four people are like fused into one person, this person has eight hands and eight feet, and his strength is close to the realm of the Five Heavens.
The formation changed from large to small, and gradually contracted, trapping Zhao Zheng in the center.
A sharp claw grabbed Zhao Zheng's back, tore a hole in the fabric, and a piece of clothing was swept by the strong wind and flew to the ground.
Zhao Zheng made a hidden sword style, the sword body drew an arc of light behind his back, and the whole person turned around to check the enemy's situation, but found that the attacker had already retreated and did not fight. Xu Chu and Zhao Ying flashed in front of him, and he couldn't even tell who made it.
"The encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, it's not good to go on like this, let's quickly and do our best to solve this battle."
Such a thought flashed in Zhao Zheng's heart, and the momentum around his body suddenly rose, and a layer of golden light burst out from the originally quiet sword body, and his face was also covered with a layer of surging blood. He used all his strength and turned the tide of the battle at once, only to see him stab a sword at the feet of the four ghosts, and the four sword qi came out in response and fell to the ground, leaving four deep gaps.
The four ghosts were caught off guard, and only then did they see Zhao Zheng's true skills, and because of the sword qi blocking, the three ghosts who were slightly weaker had to retreat slightly, and only Xu Tai was still able to deal with it safely.
Xu Tai waved his claws and stepped forward to attack, and also shrouded a layer of internal force on his claws, and the internal force faintly formed the shape of an eagle's claws, exuding a faint brilliance.
Zhao Zheng raised his sword to meet Xu Tai, a sword stabbed out, and the golden sword qi mixed with Jin Yuan's internal force flew out a meter away, forcing Xu Tai to dodge. In this way, the originally tightly defended formation revealed many flaws, and it could no longer stop Zhao Zheng. He rushed out of the center of the array, broke away from the encirclement of the four ghosts, swam around the back of Xu Chu, who was closer, and threw it over, kicking him away.
Xu Tai and the others still didn't give up and tried in vain to reorganize the formation, but this didn't help at all, they couldn't stop Zhao Zheng who was doing his best at all.
Zhao Zheng quickly moved around the four ghosts, and the sword of life was mixed with a small grappling hand to attack repeatedly, and soon the four ghosts were beaten to pieces. In the end, he swept his sword across Xu Tai's neck and rested it on his shoulder, setting the victory. In fact, if he attacked the weaker Zhao Ying or Xu Ling with all his might, he would have won more easily, but he was unwilling to bully women and children, so he didn't do that, and kept fighting around the strongest Xu Tai.
"I gave you a chance to solve the problem peacefully, but you didn't cherish it, and you had to make a move with me. Now the situation is different, and my attitude is different. Tonight I will come here again, and you will put all the wine you have stolen in the courtyard, and when I come to get it, there will not be a jar missing. Zhao Zheng said with a stiff face. Although he has won, it is not convenient to take the imperial wine directly now, and it is more convenient and safe to wait until the evening to exchange.
"After we give you the wine, will you let it go?" Xu Tai's old face was pale, and he asked with a pant breath. Live like a defeated old rooster.
"Get those wines. I will get out of here as soon as possible. When it's safe, they'll let her go. She has no grievances with me, and she is not a big traitor, I don't need to hurt her, don't worry. ”
"No, you have to hand over the wine with one hand and the other hand."
"This matter is non-negotiable, I am ordering you. It's not pulling a big saw with you. ”
Xu Tai was silent for a long time, looked at the cyan sword blade on his neck, and had to nod obediently.
"I'll come in the evening to get the wine, and I'll leave first. I advise you not to stalk me, and if I find out that you are stalking me, you will bear the consequences. Zhao Zheng removed the sword from Xu Tai's old and wrinkled neck, returned the sword into its sheath, turned around, and strode towards the courtyard gate.
The four ghosts looked at Zhao Zheng's back, but no one dared to step forward to stop him.
Zhao Zheng walked to the door. After a pause, he turned around and added, "One more thing to remind you." Don't try to trick me with fake wine, or inject poison into it, I'll check it when I get it. ”
"Don't worry, we won't do anything with the wine, and we will definitely give it to you as it is." Xu Tai assured.
Zhao Zheng didn't speak again, pushed the door and left the courtyard, disappearing behind the door.
The four ghosts were more or less slightly injured, a few people, you look at me, I look at you, and their faces are more ugly than the other. Xu Chu asked if he wanted to follow Zhao Zheng with his mouth, Xu Tai waved his hand, this big family is not an opponent of others, and going out to follow is no different from looking for death.
After a long time, Xu Tai pointed to the door and motioned for the family to go in to discuss the matter, and when he reached the door, he asked the youngest Xu Ling to stay and guard the door, and only took his son and daughter-in-law into the house.
"Dad, what should we do, can't we really give all the imperial wine to this kid? It took us more than half a year to get the wine, and then we dug the tunnel to the Cao family, and if we gave him all the wine, we would be busy in vain. Besides, if we do give him all the wine, he will have no scruples and may do something bad to us. Xu Chu said angrily.
"Dad, the thief is right, but you must not cheapen the royal wine, that kid, this is what we worked so hard to steal." Zhao Ying waved his blessed arm to help.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but in this situation, we really don't have any more choices, so we can't abandon wishful thinking, right?" Xu Tai said with a calm face.
"But if you give all the imperial wine to that kid, it's really unwilling." Xu Chu said in a muffled voice.
"You are unwilling, and I am unwilling, but what can I do?"
"It's better like this, let's put the imperial wine in the courtyard, and then notify the Cao family, and when that kid comes to get the wine, let the people of the Cao family catch him as a wine thief." Xu Chu was simple-minded and came up with a bad idea.
"This won't work, after he is caught, he will definitely confess our affairs, and the Cao family will still hunt us down all over the world. Besides, Ruyi is still in his hands, and after he is caught, it doesn't mean that Ruyi is safe, and maybe it will hurt Ruyi. Xu Tai waved his hand.
"Then let's steal the beam and change the pillar, and use the ordinary Jiujiu Spring Wine to change the imperial wine, even if he will check it after he gets the wine, it is impossible to check it one by one, there will definitely be omissions." Zhao Ying interjected on the side.
"It's not okay either, if we change too much, he's likely to find fault, and we can't take any chances. If we change less, only a few jars, and it is not worth much, it is not worth changing. Xu Tai waved his hand again.
Xu Chu and Zhao Ying proposed a number of methods, but all of them had drawbacks, and all of them were vetoed by Xu Tai, the old fox. In the end, the couple had no idea at all and asked Xu Tai what he wanted to do.
Xu Tai pondered for a moment and said leisurely: "For today's plan, this can only be the case." You husband and wife dress up in disguise and leave this place of right and wrong with Xu Ling, don't care about anything as far as you can. I stayed with the wine to trade with the kid and exchange the wine for the wish. If something goes wrong halfway, or that kid repents, at most he will only pay me and Ruyi, at least the three of you can be saved, so that we will not be wiped out by the five ghosts. Of course, it would be better if everything went well, and I want to live two more years with this old bone. ”
The couple discussed this method for a while, and found that among all the coping strategies, this method was the most secure, and there was really no reason to refuse. The couple acted as they were told, called Xu Ling, and the family dressed up and sneaked out through the back door of the courtyard and fled from Gujing Town. (To be continued.)
