The woman in red had been so embarrassed, her eyes suddenly widened angrily and she almost wanted to burst out of fire, seeing that Duan Ming wanted to throw her sword again, how could she allow him to repeat her old tricks, and with a roar, I was horrified to see her slash forward with a sword again, it was the domineering move that defeated me.

I saw a dazzling golden sword qi and Duan Ming's sword roaring out at the same time, and when they hit each other in the air, the latter was violently bounced out with a bang-

"-Gui Hotaru be careful!"

The sword that had been bounced off in the moonlight swirled into a green circle and whistled in my direction. I hurriedly covered my head with my hands, but I heard a dull sound, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw that the sword had fallen, and the sharp blade glowed with a quiet light, and it was deeply inserted into the snow no more than three inches from my feet.

When he was frightened, he heard the woman in red roar again, and with a wave of her hand, the dazzling golden sword qi came out of her sword again, rushing straight towards Duan Ming. Duan Ming lost his sword, and he was injured one after another on his abdomen and legs, and he was stunned when he saw the amazing formed sword qi at first glance, and he still had the power to dodge for a while.

Seeing that he was about to be hit, he had no choice but to put his arms on his chest to protect his life. There was a muffled thud, and there was a burning pain in both of my arms. But I saw that Duan Ming had already been knocked out by the incomparably powerful sword qi, and he landed heavily and rolled around several times until he stopped in front of me.

"Uh..."

Duan Ming was covered in snow, and because of the severe pain, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his face in this cold winter night. His body twitched slightly from the hard blow, but he still struggled and writhed and crawled in my direction, "Gui Hotaru... How are you! ”

"-Duan Ming!" Hearing Duan Ming call his name, my body suddenly gave birth to a bit of strength, and I immediately crawled towards him in great distress, "Duan Ming... I'm fine! It doesn't matter if you're hurt—"

"Don't worry about me! ......"Duan Ming finally put his arm around my shoulder again, but his face was distorted in pain because of the pressure on the injury. "I, I'm going to protect you-"

"-Don't!" But seeing that Duan Ming was trembling and was about to pick up the sword again, I hurriedly dragged his waist and said in despair, "Duan Ming... Don't fight hard anymore - this person's martial arts are far above you and me, no matter how hard you try, it's useless......"

"Even if I can't beat her, I'm going to drag her down!" Duan Ming coughed again and again because of his violent movements, and he vomited a large mouthful of blood, "Gui Ying, run as fast as you can, it's best to run back to Kazhou City before I lose ground, hurry-"

"What are you talking about! Duan Ming! You have tried your best to save me and protect me, but how can I abandon you when disaster comes! I excitedly grabbed Duan Ming's cold hand and said, "What's more, you and I are integrated bodies, if you want to live, you must live together, and if you want to die, you must die in one place!" ”

"After all, I have no grievances with her, it's a big deal to ask her for mercy, there is always a way to live..."Duan Ming's breath was already extremely weak, and he still supported his body and looked at me with a firm gaze, "-But you... You're the one she wants, and you're different from me...... Listen to me, run quickly, and while I still have a breath left, return to Kashu City, and return to Taopinlou—it will be safe when you go back, and the axe will protect you with all your might—"

"-Who said she could go?"

My heart almost skipped a beat, Duan Ming and I were shocked when we heard this, and we both looked up - the red in front of us almost covered the plain white moonlight in the sky, and the woman in red moved in front of us silently.

There was a mixture of grief and fear in my heart, and I wanted to shout, but it was dark in front of me, but it was Duan Mingbo who sat up and blocked me behind his broad body.

"Why are the seniors struggling with each other today, and they refuse to let go like this!" Duan Ming was so injured that as soon as his knees weakened, he knelt straight down in front of the woman in red. However, he still refused to sit on the ground, but only looked at the strong enemy with a pair of clear and sad eyes, "If anything happens to the two banner masters of the Gangfeng Banner today, do you know what the consequences will be?" I promise that you will be hunted down and killed by the disciples of the Tail Sect all over the world, and you will not have a good time in your life! ”

"Boy, I respect you for your good martial arts, and you have already made concessions many times. It's just that the Tail Sect has such a status in the rivers and lakes, how dare you use the name of your Gangfeng Banner Master to deceive the world and steal your name here! The woman in red lazily raised her hand and pressed an inch of the cold sword against Duan Ming's trembling chin, "I'll give you one last chance, either get out of the way immediately, and in the future, you are not allowed to mention today's matter to anyone in the rivers and lakes; Either stay and sacrifice the sword with blood and accompany this woman to hell! ”

"Don't! The person you want to kill is me, why implicate others—"

"-Gui Hotaru doesn't have to beg her!" Duan Ming shouted loudly, still trembling and straightening his spine and glaring at the woman in red in front of him, "You also said that you and I live and die together, and we can't escape!" Today, since she is willing to give up the rest of her life to settle down to take your life, I will go on the road with you first, and wait for her to come down to accompany us in the future! ”

"Duan Ming!"

"-Good boy, he really has three points of backbone. If you are willing to accompany her, I will fulfill you today. The woman in red sneered repeatedly, obviously being provoked by Duan Ming. I saw her slowly raise her golden long sword, and a pair of strange blue eyes were revealed, "If you are not afraid, you will go on the road first - suffer death!" ”

"-Don't!"

The woman in red used all her strength to stab the golden long sword straight towards Duan Mingtian's spiritual cover, and the blood in my whole body seemed to boil instantly—seeing that the sword blade was only one foot away from Duan Ming, my body suddenly shook violently, my mind suddenly became blank, and my legs kicked violently, I jumped up violently and threw Duan Ming into my arms.

The moment they looked at each other, I saw the astonishment, fear, and unbelievable surprise in the young man's clear eyes.

And the heartbreaking desolation......

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, the world became empty, only Duan Ming's body was real and violently in my arms......

A second, a second, two seconds, I slowly opened my tightly closed eyes, and my senses gradually returned.

Turning my head mechanically and hesitantly, I saw a large mink hair on a vast expanse of red speckled snow that had fallen off as I jumped;

The dark yellow piece not far away seems to be the stone python bone that I have been wearing on my body since Duan Ming left, and I accidentally fell to the side;

Further back, there was the cold blade of a golden long sword no more than half an inch from the back of my head;

Looking up along the blade of the sword, it was the red woman's pair of turquoise eyes with sharply constricted pupils, trembling in the white moonlight at this moment, and it became more and more that her entire face and even her entire body were stiff as if petrified.

"Return to Hotaru...!"

In the end, it was Duan Ming who reacted first, and hurriedly took me back behind him. He gently stroked the broken hair between my forehead with his hand, and the look of concern in his eyes was worth a thousand words.

Before he could speak, he turned back to face the woman in red a little clumsy, but his hands were still spread out like geese guarding the chicks, as if he was afraid that the woman in red in front of him would suddenly turn around and continue to stab me with a sword.

"You ......"

"-she, how could she?" The veil of the woman in red did not move, it was like a calm and blood-colored lake, but her voice trembled more and more like her pupils at this moment, "Who the hell is she!" ”

"What..."Duan Ming was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and hurriedly said, "Didn't I tell you, she is the master of my Tail Sect Gangfeng Banner, Lord Wen Ling!" ”

"But! - How could it be ......?"

"The Banner Master was ordered by my Sect Master to do an extremely dangerous mission a few days ago, and then he was seriously injured and even lost... Lost part of his memory. ”

Duan Ming stammered a little, but seeing that the woman in red in front of him still had that unbelievable expression, he didn't seem to doubt his words, so he continued to bluff and said, "Today is your luck, if you wait for the Flag Lord to recover the ten-layer skill, I'm afraid that you won't be able to take advantage of it at that time!" ”

When I heard this, my heart began to beat uneasily.

Duan Ming was really not a person with excellent lying skills, and he thought that he could intimidate the enemy by saying this. As everyone knows, the woman in red is not a good type, so I can't help but say it, for fear that it will provoke her murderous heart, and I have the idea of attacking before I can recover my strength.

If Duan Ming and I were secretly found out in this secluded snow-capped mountain at this moment, wouldn't it save the trouble of being chased and intercepted by the dead soldiers of the Gangfeng Banner all over the world in the future, seeking revenge and seeking their lives-thinking like this, my heart became more and more worried.

I couldn't hide my fear and looked up at the woman in red, but I saw that her face was still shocked, and a long sword was raised to the point without moving, and her body was stiff, as if someone had clicked on the acupuncture point.

Seeing this scene, Duan Ming was also puzzled, and involuntarily tilted his head slightly, exchanging a surprised look with me. Xu thought that his words had an effect, Duan Ming opened his mouth and wanted to say more, but I grabbed the hem of his clothes with extremely slight movements-

"Gui Hotaru? You-"

"——Su Wenwei Jiaogangfeng Banner 'Red Fragrance Green Cui' The two banner masters slaughtered all over the rivers and lakes with a pair of divine swords, and their martial arts are unparalleled in the world. Today, it seems that the rumors are really nonsense. ”

The woman in red finally spoke again, and the look of consternation in Shi Cai's eyes had been replaced by cold anger and contempt. She suddenly took a half-step back, and with a twist of her wrist, she retracted the dazzling golden sword behind her.

She closed her eyes slightly, exhaled in a deep breath as if she was forced to do something completely unacceptable, and then once again threw her usual gloomy and indifferent gaze at me, and said in a deep and cold voice, "It's really ridiculous that you two wastes can be the masters of the Tail Sect. There are many hidden masters in the rivers and lakes, and the king of Hades does not want to accept you today, and there will always be people who will come to take your lives and take your place as the banner master! ”

"We have the ability to climb to this position, and naturally we also have the ability to hold it." I sneered in a trembling voice, "This is a matter of my teaching, so I don't bother Your Excellency." ”

The woman in red didn't say anything anymore, but finally smiled coldly at Duan Ming and me, who were already weak in front of her, in the cold wind. Then with a wave of his sleeves, he flew into the night sky with light skills, like a red bloodthirsty bat in the moonlight chain moon snow mountain, flying out of a hundred zhang in just a moment, and disappeared at the end of the black soil official road.

"-uh......"

Duan Ming snorted in pain, his leg couldn't bear the strength anymore, and he fell back to the ground with a heavy thud. Judging from his face, he was already extremely weak, but it was only because I was by my side that he managed to hold on and make a relaxed demeanor that he could hold onto.

"Duan Ming! - How are you......"

I stepped forward to hug him, but my movements were too fast, and I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen.

This pain is really evil, the golden sword qi is obviously incorporeal, and there is no wound left on the body. It's just like a sharp blade embedded in the body, the skin and flesh of the sword are stiff, and the pain is unbearable when touched, and the internal force flowing through the nearby meridians is even more painful. It's simply a blood-sucking poisonous insect that devours people's internal strength and essence, and it has to be boiled until people's true qi is lost, and they have no strength before they stop.

I couldn't move, and I collapsed in the snow and convulsed. There was not enough True Qi in my body to maintain my body temperature, and I could clearly feel that my life was being rapidly consumed in this icy and snowy night. Not to mention getting up and walking back to Karzhou City, he climbed to Duan Ming's side, and even if he shouted for help, he didn't have the strength to shout for help.

"Return to Hotaru... What's wrong with you, wake up! "I vaguely heard Duan Mingqi's but firm voice coming from not far away, but my eyelids and mouthpiece had already been frozen by ice and snow, and I really couldn't open my eyes and couldn't answer." - Gui Ying, you can't sleep, come - I'll help you up, we have to go quickly, we have to hurry back to the Taopin Building! Return to Hotaru... You can't lie here anymore, we'll freeze to death if we continue like this......"

There was a numb and moist warm touch from the center of his eyebrows, it was Duan Ming's hand, no, his hand had already been frozen, and it would not have such a temperature. It's his lips, it's him warming my forehead with his own lips.

I wanted to open my eyes, I wanted to reach out and hold his handsome face. However, the whole body was numb as if it had been punched by a thousand pounds, and only the faint pain of the wound faintly beating towards the brain.

Duan Ming was still calling, the warm breath he exhaled on my face became weaker and slower, and the vapor condensed into countless tiny ice crystals between my foreheads, becoming cold and uncomfortable.

In a trance, I heard Duan Ming's call farther and farther away, until it disappeared, replaced by a more subtle sound of rustling, as if someone was crawling on the snow with difficulty; It was like rummaging through something in the snow.

"Duan... Duan Ming? ”

I tried my best to squeeze a thin, weak sound out of the freezing air in my throat, but there was no response.

My hearing was completely lost, and in the chaotic silence, I felt the last shred of my warmth finally fade. The body seemed to turn into light dust, blown by the wild cold wind, and gradually blended into this pure white vast snowfield. It's like a dream—a whirl; Falling; Approach; Miss.

Until the end, it was scattered without a trace.
