Chapter 35: The Three Caves Academy
Li Mubai and I looked vigilant, Su Yichen's status in the Jade Toad Palace is not high, and it is impossible for them to send only one Su Yichen to stop us for such a major event as resurrecting the White Jade Toad, not to mention that Ji Han said before that Su Yichen invited more than twenty mercenaries from North Africa, and we solved five of them before, and the remaining ten or so mercenaries must be waiting for us in a corner of the Jade Toad Palace.
The little pangolin stepped forward to open the way, Li Mubai and I protected the Dharma left and right, Ji Han's killing intent was strong, his eyes showed a fierce light, his swordsmanship and Li Mubai and I witnessed it with our own eyes, although I don't know what sect it came from, but the mystery and mastery of swordsmanship really shocked us.
The sky was bright, the rain was gradually slowing down, and there was silence in the Jade Toad Palace, but there was still wind and rain in front of the Three Cave Academy, and a few fallen leaves slowly drifted down. The heavy rain lasted for so long, and there was already a torrent on the ground, Li Mubai suddenly stopped, and another group of black-clothed masked people were waiting for us in front of the Sandong Academy.
Ji Han looked up and down, this time it was different from the front of the Jade Toad Pavilion, there were a total of five people wearing robes and hats, one person on the left and right roofs, two people leaning among the ancient trees on both sides, and one person sitting on the stone steps a few meters away from us.
"Maoshan Assassin!"
Li Mubai clenched the compass, "I didn't expect that they would invite these five monsters." ”
I palmed my hand and asked Li Mubai with a puzzled expression: "Is this Maoshan assassin very powerful?" ”
Ji Han shook the sword box behind him, held the sword with both hands, and said to me sideways: "Maoshan assassin debuted for ten years, killed countless people, and can rank among the top three in the killer world. ”
"What are our chances of winning if we do it?"
Ji Han shook his head, "If it's a hard fight, there is no chance of winning." ”
"There are a total of five Maoshan assassins, who are taught by the deadwood Taoist of Maoshan, and among the five people, the senior brother Demon Shadow has the highest skill, followed by the ghost, the phantom is the third, the evil shadow is the fourth, and the evil shadow is the fifth."
The man with a hat on the stone steps looked at Li Mubai, "Sure enough, Su Yichen couldn't stop you." ”
"Make a price." Ji Han knew that we were definitely not opponents in hard work, but we were killers, and we must be seeking money.
"To do a line, you have to abide by the rules of a line, since we have received money from others, we can no longer take Ji Gongzi's account."
"It's okay, I don't break your rules, I don't give money so that you don't kill me, but I want you to help me kill someone."
"Who?"
"Jiang Guoyi."
The hat-bearer was silent for a long time.
"I'll give 10 million." As soon as Ji Han's words came out, Li Mubai and I were surprised and couldn't close our mouths.
"Ten million?" The man on the eaves saw the money, "Senior brother, we can't earn so much in two years." ”
"It's not profitable, if it's for money, we will break our rules, then who will dare to invite us in the future."
The man with a hat on the stone steps looked at the figure in the ancient tree, "The third sister is right, you can not earn money, but you can't keep the rules." ”
"That's a good point." Li Mubai took out a wooden sign from his arms and threw it at the hat man on the stone steps, "Demon Shadow, since you have to obey the rules, I don't know if this deadwood Taoist death-free wooden card still works?" ”
The demon shadow on the stone steps took the wooden card and looked at it carefully, "It's been ten years, I didn't expect to see this wooden card again, I don't want your life, but the lives of the two of them have to stay." ”
"It's too much to deceive people," said Ji Han's long sword in his hand, and the figure flashed in the wind and rain, and the demon shadow on the stone steps raised his eyes sideways, and a sharp sword aura passed by him.
The hat flew sideways, the demon shadow short sword was in his hand, and the phantom sleeve arrow in the bushes was hidden, "Don't do it, I have long wanted to learn the swordsmanship of the Ji family, if you Ji Dagongzi wins today, my Maoshan assassin will withdraw from the Jade Toad Palace, and no one in the killer world will find you trouble anymore." ”
"Okay, that's a deal."
Li Mubai smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his hand to collect the compass was gently lowered.
"Do you think Ji Han can win?"
"The Ji family's swordsmanship is weird, the Demon Shadow Master inherits the deadwood Daoist of Maoshan Mountain, compared to the sword, no one in the killer world is his opponent, but if he meets Ji Han, it will be difficult to say."
As he spoke, he saw the demon shadow flick the robe on his body, a short sword in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand, "Twenty years ago, my master Deadwood Daoren lost to your father in the martial arts arena of Longhu Mountain, and today the long and short sword in my hand has come out of the blue, and it should be impossible for you to defeat me." ”
"Is it possible that you have to try it to find out?" After that, Ji Han raised his sword and stood up, his clever sword qi slashed the water and slashed the bridge, coupled with the ghostly pace, after dozens of rounds, he actually advanced and retreated freely under the long and short sword of the demon shadow.
Although the Demon Shadow is a killer, the center of the duel is as calm as water, and the sword moves are not angry, but it is Ji Han, which may be the reason for his youth and vigor, and there is a trace of calmness and courage missing from many killing moves. After another round of attacks, the demon shadow began to gradually gain the upper hand, the long sword attacked the short sword guard, and although Ji Han's swordsmanship was weird, there was still a pattern to be found after all.
"It's not good," Li Mubai's eyebrows tightened, only to see the Demon Shadow draw the sword in his left hand, and open the bow long and short, although Ji Han was clever with his sword, he still caught the way of the Demon Shadow, and he was knocked to the ground before he could dodge it sideways.
"Good swordsmanship, I lost in your hands today, Ji Han admitted."
The Demon Shadow didn't say anything but raised his sword and stabbed Ji Han, Li Mubai and I naturally wouldn't watch Ji Han become the Demon Shadow's sword ghost, only to see the wind blowing in front of the Three Caves Academy of the Three Caves of Imperial Qi in my palm, Li Mubai was also slow to launch in an instant, and we were just about to make a move but heard the Demon Shadow shout: "One more step, I promise to separate Ji Han's head!" ”
After saying that, the short sword in the left hand of the Demon Shadow left his hand, and with Ji Han's cry of pain, the five Maoshan assassins gathered. The demon shadow threw the wooden card in his arms back to Li Mubai again, "This is given to you by the family teacher to Longhu Mountain, you have to look at love and righteousness if you don't look at morality, today in the Jade Toad Palace, I will treat you as if I have never seen you." ”
After that, the Demon Shadow picked up the hat on the side, "By the way, Master Ji, our Maoshan assassin took over the assassination of Jiang Guo, don't forget your offer of 10 million." ”
"Okay," Ji Han, who was lying on the side, suddenly sat up like a corpse, "Villa No. 5 on the Mid-Levels Peninsula, you come and I'll prepare cash." ”
With the departure of the Maoshan Assassins, the bloody struggle in front of the Three Caves Academy finally came to an end.
"Why didn't the Shadow kill you just now?"
"Back then, my father accepted half a trick in time to save his master's life, and today he is not here to kill."
Li Mubai on the side nodded, "Yes, he is here to repay the favor." ”
After that, Li Mubai looked at the wooden sign in his hand, "Time is running out, we have to find Jiang Qi as soon as possible." ”
Time passed minute by minute, the heavy rain seemed to have no intention of stopping, and on the upper floor of the three-hole academy, Lin Qingfeng was dressed in white, tea, and incense.
"Ji Han, what did you realize in this duel?"
"When a cheetah meets a tiger, there is never a distinction between strength and weakness, and only those who are calm can win."
Lin Qingfeng nodded, "Jiang Qi has been martyred, you better go back." ”
Li Mubai clenched the compass, he had been holding on for so long, it couldn't end like this, I could feel that he wanted these people to pay, no one could stop him, the little guy was lying on my shoulder, and the invisible one was holding on my shoulder, I had never seen him so nervous.
"Li, Mu, Bai,"
"What's wrong with Li Mubai?"
"Another, one, Li Mubai."
"Another?" I looked at the little pangolin suspiciously, and then looked sideways at Li Mubai, only to see that his eyes were full of anger, and as his body gradually trembled, he seemed to lose control.
"Li Mubai, are you okay?"
Ji Han also discovered Li Mubai's abnormality.
"Kill, kill, kill....."
I saw Li Mubai's eyes red, the compass was gone, and the two short swords in his arms were impressively in his hands, the heavens and the earth changed color, and the thunderstorms were combined, I had never seen such a vision, and Lin Qingfeng, the Taoist chief on the upper floor of the scripture, was also puzzled.
"Ji Han, stop him!" I just reacted, but it was too late, Li Mubai was completely out of control, I guessed that Jiang Qi's death inspired the second soul in Li Mubai's body, and the little pangolin Qu Yan once told me that Li Mubai had an extremely powerful soul hidden in his body.
"Li Mubai, calm down, don't be controlled by others!" I want to use the wind and rain to wake up Li Mubai.
"Li, Mubai?"
Li Mubai, whose eyes were crimson, looked back at me, that suffocating gaze I will never forget for the rest of my life, "He is a coward, Yaoyao should not die, Jiang Qi should not die, they should be damned." ”
Li Mubai looked up at Lin Qingfeng Dao Chang on the upper floor of the scripture, the evil fire around his body ignited, Ji Han raised his sword and flew to stop it, but the gap was too huge, Li Mubai only made one move, and Ji Han flew dozens of meters away.
"Mole ant," Li Mubai looked at Lin Qingfeng, the short sword with fire started from the palm of his hand, unstoppable, almost in an instant, the entire scripture building became a sea of fire, and the heavy rain in the sky could not be extinguished, the scene was like a fire burning in hell, endless, endless.
"Don't!" Ji Han, who was in the distance, spurted out a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground.
When we walked into the underground palace downstairs of the Tibetan scriptures, there was already a mess in front of us, with ruins and broken walls, traces of sharp swords everywhere, frost and flames spreading alternately, blood stains everywhere, and corpses all over the field. As if it had been swept by demons from hell, the empty corridor was filled with the afterglow of the burning fire, and the entire dungeon was crumbling.
I can't imagine where the soul in Li Mubai's body came from, evil as hell fire, powerful as the evil spirit of Shura came to the world, Ji Han leaned against the broken wall, his whole body was trembling, just now Li Mubai's light palm Ji Han used all his strength to stop it, but after all, it was still the mantis arm as a car.
