Chapter 51: The Dead End, the Beginning
"I ...... I'm here to get you. Raising his head and facing the seemingly harmless smiling face, the iron wolf said in a still indifferent tone under the vigilant gazes of several hunters around him.
The atmosphere in Sanhezhuang is still noisy, but it instantly falls into an indescribable cold atmosphere, as if the air around it is frozen, and it seems to be separated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world by something, and the noisy and lively other places are separated into two worlds close at hand, and even the catchers can hear their own rapid heartbeats and breathing.
"I know, this is Shenhezhuang, my territory." Li Xuan nodded seriously, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said seriously: "But today is a day of great joy, if there is anything, you can put it tomorrow to talk about it, after today, you and I will rely on our means, but today...... Since you're sitting here, you're a guest of Sanhezhuang, and you're all friends who can have a drink with me, aren't they? ”
"Friends?" Iron Wolf raised his head, looked at the young face, chewed on these two words that were very unfamiliar to him, nodded, without saying more, raised his wine glass, and drank the wine in the glass.
"Slow use, where you don't have good hospitality, please bear with me." It was originally a polite word, but at this moment, when Li Xuan said it, it gave people a very sincere feeling, even if everyone knew the ultimate purpose of this trip, I am afraid that they would inevitably talk to this person with a sword, but at this moment, in the face of that warm smile, it was always difficult to give birth to too much hostility.
Although the heart is no longer here at the moment, but born in the royal family, even if Dali Duan has a strong atmosphere of rivers and lakes, but has been in a high position for a long time, for these entertainment. has already reached a state where even if the matter is absent-minded, it will not make people feel that the other party is dealing with them casually.
Bidding farewell to a martial arts celebrity, Duan Zhengchun finally found his goal, looking at the back and figure that were more moving than before, and the friendship of reunion suddenly rose in his heart. Seeing the other party freely entertaining the congratulations from all over him, Duan Zhengchun did not rush forward, but stood quietly in the crowd, smiling and looking at the proud girl in the past, turning into a graceful and dignified woman now, and a complex and incomprehensible feeling of affection, nostalgia, friendship, pity and a faint loss in his heart.
With the groom who was overwhelmed by the wine, he was sent into the cave room. The crowd gradually began to dissipate, and Duan Yu and Dao Baifeng were also sent back to their rooms under Duan Zhengchun's superb acting skills, and when they returned to the manor, they saw the back of Li Qingluo leaving.
Driven by the spirit of alcohol and an impulse from the heart, the ghost sent a god to follow, Li Qingluo seemed to be completely unaware of being followed, and walked straight in the direction of Shenhezhuang Garden.
The moon is in the sky
The bright moonlight casts the garden with a silvery glow like a mercury pour, compared to the daytime. The ground is full of flowers and plants, and there is a little less brilliant vitality. But it is a little more mysterious and elegant, such a beautiful scenery, it should be a good place for some infatuated men and women to have a private meeting, but at this moment, there are two more figures that should not appear here...... The figure of two men.
The broad eyebrows frowned slightly, looking at Li Xuan in front of him, who was supposed to enjoy the greatest pleasure in life in the cave room. The iron wolf was puzzled, but he didn't ask much, just looked at each other quietly, his dark eyes reflecting the faint moonlight. In the darkness, it is like a fierce beast crawling on the ground, ready to burst out and hurt people.
"The god catcher doesn't want to ask, why am I here?" Li Xuan, who appeared in front of the iron wolf at this moment, did not have the gentleness and elegance of the day, although he was smiling, but he gave people more feelings, but he was like a sharp sword, and he didn't even need to look at him, even if he looked at him at this moment, his eyes would have a tingling feeling.
Dressed in a red robe, under the light of the moon at the moment, it reflects a different kind of brilliance.
"To say it or not, since Your Excellency is already standing here, why should I ask more?" The iron wolf raised his head, his eyes fell on Li Xuan's face, he was angry, and said in a muffled voice, but at the same time, there was a thick horror in his heart.
Relying on the momentum alone, the other party has forced himself to use his strength to resist the extremely powerful momentum from the other party, and the other party, the iron wolf, can be sure, did not use any means.
"Do more and say less, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, no wonder you are young and have no background, but you can already become a hot god hunt in the imperial court." Nodding, Li Xuan looked at the iron wolf with a hint of approval.
"Although Tie Mou doesn't know what he can do, but where his responsibility lies, he still has to say a word, please ask Murong Gongzi to follow me to Bianliang tomorrow." Suppressing the inexplicable excitement in his heart because of the other party's appropriation, the iron wolf looked at Li Xuan's eyes, and he was already deeply jealous.
Since Iron Wolf debuted, he has rich experience and has seen countless characters, including the ferocious Jiangyang thieves, and the prominent court dignitaries, but it is the first time to encounter this kind of character who has a look, an expression or even a sentence, which makes people's emotions fluctuate.
"It is said that the iron catcher was raised by wild wolves?" Li Xuan did not answer the other party's question, but asked a surprising question: "But I don't know why I want to use iron as my surname?" ”
The iron wolf couldn't keep up with Li Xuan's jumping thinking, looking at Li Xuan, the feelings that had been suppressed burst out a little uncontrollably, with a slight roar in his voice, and a trace of bloodshot in the whites of his eyes: "These, what does it have to do with Your Excellency?" ”
Shaking his head, Li Xuan looked at the iron wolf with some regret and said, "It's obviously a beast, but it's a pity that it is forcibly restrained by rules and regulations." His eyes fell on the strangely shaped ice blade on the other party's waist, which looked a little like a dog-legged knife in reality, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile and said, "You also use a knife?" ”
"Not bad!" The iron wolf nodded, hearing that one hand was already on the hilt of the knife, and the smile of the other party made him suddenly have an urge to hack him to death with a knife.
"It is rumored that once the God Catcher Knife comes out of its sheath, it never fails, but today, I want to see it." Li Xuan looked at the blade of the other party's hand that had been unsheathed with interest, and smiled.
"Hum~"
He didn't answer again, and he didn't want to continue this kind of conversation that seemed meaningless to him, and between the two, in fact, knives were easier to communicate than words.
The half-moon-shaped arc light split a tragic arc against the bright moon, without the slightest fancy, without superfluous movements. It was just a simple slash, but it had already exerted the power of these two actions to the maximum, and a tragic momentum enveloped his whole person with the slash of this knife.
This is a very pure sword, just like his person, like the Vulture Palace, the self-proclaimed Sword God Zhuo Bu Extraordinary. It's just that Zhuo Bufan's purity lies in his swordsmanship, which is a kind of purity that pins the spirit on the sword, while the purity of the iron wolf is not aimed at anything corporeal, but a kind of spiritual purity. Such a person is undoubtedly the most terrifying.
"What's the name of this sword?" Li Xuan turned sideways, avoiding this knife with a tragic momentum, even with his current cultivation in knife skills, he couldn't help but be curious about this knife, he could feel that the man in front of him was more than a star and a half different from himself, but the knife intent of this knife. It made him alarmed, just that. It was enough to arouse Li Xuan's curiosity.
"Nameless." With a twist of the body, the knife rotated with the body, and with this rotational force, it slashed out again, and the power was even more powerful than the previous one.
"Self-created? No wonder! Li Xuan unfolded his steps, his body like fluttering. Stepping on the seven stars, but never within three feet of the iron wolf, a flash of clarity flashed in his eyes, no wonder this knife technique felt so weird to himself, and he couldn't find the slightest feeling of knife technique. It was actually created by himself, and I am afraid that the shape of the knife itself was also thought up by himself.
"This kind of ability, but it's just a small catcher, but it's a bit condescending, have you ever thought about finding another way?" Li Xuan's figure moved, but the words in his mouth were like Tang Seng, chattering, which annoyed the iron wolf, and from beginning to end, the other party just relied on his body to dodge, but he never returned a move, but his own knife failed, so that this sense of irritability was constantly urged unconsciously.
"What does it have to do with you? Don't you want to be a wanted criminal, and you want to give me a greater future!? The iron wolf finally couldn't bear the outburst of patience anymore, and roared, but at the same time, the sword technique in his hand became more and more miserable, completely giving up his own defense, and just blindly pursuing speed and strength.
"Maybe." The body shape violated the laws of physics in the air, avoiding the opponent's blade at a strange angle, and the figure had already appeared on the other side, looking at the opponent's more and more tragic knife technique, he reminded loudly: "Iron Catcher should be careful, if this knife technique continues, if you can't cut me all the time, Iron Catcher is afraid that he will die of exhaustion, why don't you stop here?" "In terms of knife technique alone, Iron Wolf's knife technique is actually very simple, with Li Xuan's attainments in knife skills, he can naturally see through the truth at a glance, but he said it at this moment, but it was not out of kindness, but just to constantly disturb his state of mind.
"Don't think!" In the roar, the iron wolf swung out again, and the knife technique seemed to be a little sharper, but at this moment, Li Xuan was keenly aware that the other party's breath and moves had lost that kind of coherence, if the next knife could not make a contribution, I am afraid that he would be consumed to death!
"Roar~" The iron wolf naturally noticed this, but he didn't stop, and he didn't want to stop, and the blade in his hand condensed his life's strength and slashed out fiercely.
"Poof~" In the sound of the sharp weapon tearing the muscles, the iron wolf's brain was clear, and he was happy at first, but he randomly noticed that something was wrong, and when he looked up, the figure in front of him was not the person he imagined, and when he saw the appearance, the iron wolf was stunned.
"If he has no place in the Great Song Dynasty one day, he can come to Yan Kingdom to find me."
There was the sound of Li Xuan's internal force condensing into a line in his ears, Mu Ran turned his head to look around, but where was Li Xuan's shadow, turned around, and looked at Duan Zhengchun with his hands clasped his throat with some bitterness, but blood gushed out from between his fingers, and he looked at Duan Zhengchun with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Li Qingluo fell to the ground softly as if she had been drained of all her strength, and behind her, there were the roars of the four generals of the Duan clan and the heart-rending cries of Duan Yu's mother and son, and then there were the angry shouts of the alarmed masters of all parties.
"Let's go~" Iron Wolf knew that even if he explained at the moment, it was useless, and the current situation could not be explained by himself, and all he could do now was to leave here temporarily. (To be continued......)
