Chapter 396: Compromise

The current situation is ever-changing, Xu Rui's wandering seems to be very fierce, but in fact, it is like walking a tightrope, as long as the slightest carelessness will cause irreparable consequences.

What's more, the opponent's strength is really not weak, even if Xu Rui has already calculated, the changes in the battle situation are still quickly out of his absolute control.

Xu Rui wandered wildly around Xiao Hu, and the remaining thirteen first-class masters began to form a formation again, ready to protect the frightened Cui Lingwen in the center.

It's not that they don't want to support Xiao Hu, but as soon as Xiao Hu didn't give an order, they didn't dare to act rashly, Xu Rui's body and swordsmanship are very weird, and the slightest negligence will kill Cui Lingwen.

Second, don't look at Xu Rui's continuous offensive, but in fact, there is no way to take Xiao Hu, who has higher martial arts, the advantage is still in the hands of Xiao Hu, and the masters present are all experts, so they can naturally see it clearly and are not in a hurry.

Moreover, Xu Rui's speed is too fast, and his thoughts are deep, and it is easy for Xu Rui to find a flaw and completely reverse the situation if a group of masters rashly move.

Therefore, a group of masters would rather watch Xu Rui and Xiaohu fight than make a direct move, but although these people did not directly participate in the battle, they would not be restrained.

This time, Xiao Hu entangled Xu Rui, and the thirteen masters quickly completed the formation, and everyone kept moving according to special rules, no matter from which angle Xu Rui launched a surprise attack, he would be instantly counterattacked by four or five people.

Moreover, the people in the formation did not pursue after repelling Xu Rui, but only ensured the integrity of the formation, which greatly reduced Xu Rui's guerrilla tactics, even if Xu Rui's swordsmanship was treacherous and extremely fast, there was no way to take the sword formation.

What's worse is that after not being distracted, Xiao Hu immediately relied on his strength advantage to gain the upper hand again, forcing Xu Rui farther and farther away, and gradually retreating to the lake, where the space for him to toss and move became smaller and smaller.

"Uncle Shi's swordsmanship is indeed magical, but although your martial arts have suddenly skyrocketed, there is still a big gap between you and me, you will definitely lose within thirty moves, do you still want to fight?"

Xiao Hu forced Xu Rui into a corner with a sword and said in a deep voice.

Xu Rui landed two feet in front of Xiao Hu, standing with a horizontal sword, as long as he took a step back, he would fall into the lake, but he had no fear on his face, and said lightly: "You said that you could kill me before the Apocalypse Guard rushed in, do you still have confidence now?" ”

Xiao Hu's face changed slightly, but he only calmed down for a moment, and sneered: "If you believe that I am really afraid of the Apocalypse Guard, I will order them to rush in as soon as I make a move, but you don't, it means that you have no confidence that the Apocalypse Guard can defeat us." ”

Xu Rui didn't deny it, and said with a smile: "If you are confident that you can break through the blockade of the Apocalypse Guard, you will rush out directly as soon as you make a move, but you don't, it means that you don't have the confidence to retreat under hundreds of repeating crossbows." ”

Xiao Hu laughed: "You and I don't want our own people to sacrifice too much, so we are jealous, but here we have an absolute advantage, so it is you who loses this time." ”

Xu Rui shook his head, smiled and took out a grenade from his arms: "Give you a chance to reorganize the language." ”

When Xiao Hu saw the grenade, his face suddenly sank: "You only have one grenade, if I don't care about life and death, and fight for a few more lives, I can be sure that I will kill you within ten moves!" ”

Xu Rui laughed, and suddenly lifted the big curtain, Xiaohu's pupils suddenly shrank, and his face became very ugly.

It turned out that Xu Rui actually sewed an ammunition belt after the big one, and there were dense grenades hanging on it, not to mention more than twenty of them, if he used his treacherous body to match the power of the grenades, even if Xiao Hu and the man in black went together, they would have to pay a painful price.

"What do you want?"

Xiao Hu asked in a deep voice.

Xu Rui said: "I said at the beginning, you can get out, but the murderer must pay for his life!" ”

Xiao Hu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered: "Then you just killed my three subordinates, how should you pay for your life?" ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "They violently resisted the law and were killed by the sword of their own officials, which is reasonable, how can they pay for their lives?" ”

"Sharp teeth!"

Xiao Hu muttered coldly and said loudly: "You will pay the price for today's recklessness." ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "No matter what the price, I will follow!" ”

Xiao Hu gritted his teeth and said, "You know that what you want to talk about today is also good for you, why do you deliberately provoke conflicts?" ”

Xu Rui smiled: "I still don't understand this? Because I don't like you, or the way you do things.

Do you think that if you deliberately create a terrifying environment, I will think that you are capable of anything, and then obediently obey?

On the contrary, I am a person who never accepts threats, and the next time I really want to talk to me, it is better to come and beg me than to intimidate me! ”

"You're conceited!"

Xiaohu frowned.

Xu Rui looked at the grenade in his palm and said with a faint smile: "Because I have this qualification." ”

Xiao Hu gritted his teeth, suddenly put away his long sword and turned to leave.

Xu Rui was stunned: "Hey, don't fight?" ”

Xiao Hu paused, turned around and said: "The first-class master is not a cabbage on the street, there is a stubble and a stubble, you are reluctant to give up your Apocalypse Guard, and I am reluctant to my people, Cui Lingwen is for you." ”

After saying that, he turned around and continued to walk towards the sword array.

Xu Rui looked at his back, a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, according to his calculations, if Xiao Hu was really willing to pay at least ten lives, then his life would be in danger, and then he would only send a signal to order the Apocalypse Guards guarding outside to rush in and use powerful firepower to suppress the masters of the group.

It's just that this is a never-ending ending, no matter who wins or loses, both sides will pay an extremely painful price, and even if there is an opportunity to cooperate in the future, deep prejudices will be buried.

The reason Xu Rui understands, and Xiao Hu also understands that in the end, it is the interests that make it happen, both of them tacitly control the conflict within the scope of temptation, and the other party loses three first-class masters, and it seems that Xu Rui has taken advantage.

But is that really the case?

Xu Rui's gaze fell on Wang Qingyi's corpse and let out a long sigh.

Xiao Hu returned to the sword formation and pulled out Cui Lingwen in the middle.

Cui Lingwen shouted in horror: "What are you doing, what are you going to do?" You received the things and promised the Cui family, you can't go back on your word like this. ”

Xiao Hu ignored Cui Lingwen's words, the long sword in his hand was horizontal, and the sword light immediately swept past Cui Lingwen's neck, and then the sword body turned and gently patted the back of his head, and a stunned head slowly rolled to Xu Rui's feet like a ball.

Xu Rui secretly felt sorry for himself, he repeatedly wanted Cui Lingwen, in addition to avenging Wang Qingyi, he also wanted to dig out the information of the Cui family and the forces behind the scenes from his mouth.

Cui Lingwen is narrow-minded, ambitious, talented, and weak-willed, but he is a descendant of the Cui family and holds a lot of secrets, so he is the best target for collecting intelligence.

It's a pity that Xiao Hu obviously saw through his mind a long time ago, and directly cut Cui Lingwen in half, not giving Xu Rui a chance to play tricks at all.

"I've got what you wanted, let's go!"

Xiao Hu finally glanced at Xu Rui coldly, turned around and walked into the side hall with thirteen subordinates and three corpses, and disappeared.

Xu Rui watched them leave, a hint of thoughtfulness flashed on his face.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly fell beside him, and it was a shadow maid with a gloomy face.

"The young master has a grenade on his waist, and it is unwise to risk his life, and then for a woman who meets in Pingshui, forcibly provoke a conflict between the two sides, it is simply a stupid ......"

The shadow maid grumbled.

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, and she had the impression that the shadow maid was always respectful and respectful, and she would carry out any orders seriously, and this was the first time she complained about herself.

But Xu Rui was not angry, but happy, because this is what it is like to be a sister, only if you really care about yourself, you will overcome servility and criticize your recklessness.

Xu Rui laughed, walked over and slowly picked up Wang Qingyi's corpse, and talked for a long time: "In this life, people always have to make stupid mistakes once or twice, otherwise how boring it is to live like a machine." ”

As he spoke, he slowly walked towards the side hall with the corpse in his arms.

The Shadow Maiden shook her head, leaped forward, and disappeared into the night once more.
