Chapter 9, the cliff breaks the water and crosses the way of life

Li Barrier did not shed tears, on the back of the bumpy horse, looking back for a long time, "They are all gone, leaving only me, a wicked obstacle who doesn't know when he will die." ”

Li Zhong urged the horse to gallop hard, the horse's hooves raised the dust of the feet, and the cavalry behind was in hot pursuit, the sound of hooves was as rapid as a shower, and they had been running for dozens of miles, but they still didn't open too far away, and the gas exhaled by the war horse became hot on the face, and the white foam spit out from the corners of the mouth flew to both sides.

Li Zhong knew that this war horse had reached its limit, and if it continued like this, he would have to die of exhaustion, but when he looked back, he saw that the Qingpao Dao Commander and his pursuers were still chasing after him, "I can't let them catch up, I must desperately protect my righteous brother and keep my father's blood!" Seeing a birch forest on his side, Li Zhong urged the horse to rush over, and the horse walked through the forest, slowing down a lot, so as not to die of exhaustion immediately, and the branch hit his face, and immediately drew blood marks.

The pursuers behind also followed, a large number of horses' hooves, the shaking leaves fluttered down, the shadows of the trees were heavy, the ground was uneven, it was not easy to chase side by side, Li Zhong's riding skills were naturally much better than the pursuers behind, and gradually disappeared from the field of vision of the pursuers.

Qingyang Dao Chang faintly has a feeling, if he does not kill Li Mu's son today, there will be disasters in the future, although he knows that he is weak and will not live long, but looking at his eyes, there is an indescribable fear, maybe it is too clear, so clear that he can't see anything, especially when he threatens Guo Kai, a child in his early tens, fearless in the face of danger, so he believes that the wizard who retreats from the Huns must be him, such a child, a strategy can scare away tens of thousands of iron horses, then a word, will make him die without the power to fight back。

Qingyang Dao Chang was originally a cultivator, meditating on the Tao, and should not participate in the struggle between countries, but he met Xu City, Xu City showed him a strange alchemy furnace, the alchemy furnace can refine the elixir of immortality, but the medicinal materials are only available in legends, Xu City needs to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to find, saying that if you help Ying Zheng complete the great cause of unification, when the elixir is practiced, Ying Zheng will give this elixir according to the reward, and fly into the sky with Ying Zheng, and be a fairy at ease.

Cultivating to become an immortal is the lifelong pursuit of those who cultivate, but few people believe it in these years, and I haven't heard of anyone becoming an immortal for hundreds of years, and no one has seen a god descend to earth, and it's hard to say whether there are immortals or not, but Qingyang Dao Chang believes it, because that alchemy furnace is the legendary artifact 'Mixed Yuan Jade Void Furnace'.

Seeing Li Zhong disappear from view, the Qingyang Daoist jumped up from his war horse in a hurry, stepped on one foot, flew up lightly, used the branches as a pedal, and walked through the forest undulatingly, and after a while, he threw off the cavalry team far away, and found Li Zhong and Li Barrier behind him again.

Li Zhong heard the sound of 'rustling', looked back, gasped, and saw that the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi was approaching them like a falcon foraging for food, although after countless life and death struggles on the battlefield, this kind of stretching out his hand, he had never seen it in his life, Li Zhong was not good, clamped the horse's belly, possessed the horse, and tried to get rid of the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi.

Not far away, 'whoosh', a flying locust stone flew towards the war horse that Li Zhong was riding, if it was shot at Li Zhong, Li Zhong would definitely be able to avoid it, but it shot at the horse's legs, the speed was so fast, the strength was so strong, Li Zhong had not driven the horse to jump, 'bang', hit the front leg of the war horse, the war horse neighed, and fell forward.

The reason why Qingyang hit his front leg was to make Li Zhong fall off his horse and be crippled if he didn't die.

In a critical situation, Li Zhong quickly pulled up from the horse with Li Barrier on his back, did not fall to the ground with the horse, and took more than a dozen steps forward quickly before relieving the momentum, and after balancing, he did not look back, and continued to run with Li Barrier on his back.

Li Zhong panted at Li Barrier: "Brother, my brother can only send you here today, you continue to run forward, the farther the better, don't look back!" Untied the harness, stopped, put Li Barrier down, turned around, pulled out the short sword, and turned the short sword horizontally, facing the Qingyang Dao Chief, who was turning over.

Li Barrier stood behind Li Zhong, staring at Li Zhong's back, he knew that Li Zhong was going to fight hard with this Tsing Yi Taoist to buy time for his escape.

Now that he has only one relative left, he doesn't want to lose his brother again, he doesn't want to run away, where can he escape with such a body? How long can he live? The reason why he lives strong is because he is afraid that his mother will be sad, and now that his mother has left with his father, no one will be sad, what is the point of living.

After Qingyang Dao Chang landed, he walked towards Li Zhong step by step, Li Zhong shouted: "What else do you want, run, do you want your father-in-law to die in vain, your father-in-law came back to die for you, don't you run quickly!"

Li Jian sighed in his heart, "They are all for me, let me live!"

Looking at Li Zhong's back, he couldn't delay any longer, and turned around, "I still have to live." Gritted his teeth, staggered to the depths of the mountains and forests.

Seeing the Qing-robed Daoist approaching, Li Zhong waved his short sword, shouted, and rushed towards the Qing-robed Daoist, wanting to fight to the death with Qingyang.

Seeing the short sword stabbed in front of him, Qingyang Dao Chang snorted coldly, his body leaped up, and jumped behind Li Zhong, Li Zhong's sword stabbed into the air, after Qingyang landed, he wanted to chase Li Barrier, he felt that if Li Barrier lived for a few more moments, Li Barrier would have the possibility of escaping.

Li Zhong stepped one foot, made a roundabout, backhanded a sword, and stabbed at the Qingyang Dao chief, Qingyang Dao Chang did not look back, on the side of his body, dodged the short sword, pushed with one palm, and hit Li Zhong's ribs, only to hear a 'click', the ribs were broken, and flew out, and Li Zhong rolled to the ground.

After Li Zhong landed, he gritted his teeth and stood up with difficulty, waved his short sword and rushed towards the Qingyang Daoist again, although he had been on the battlefield for a long time, but what he learned was the fighting moves on the battlefield, which would only make brute force.

Qingyang Dao Chang saw Li Zhong rushing over again, Li Zhan didn't run far, and said in his heart: "I will kill him first, and it will not be too late to chase him!"

He is not the opponent of this Qingyang Daoist at all, between the lightning and flint, Li Zhong ignored the short sword pierced in his chest, stepped forward, let the short sword penetrate his chest, approached Qingyang Daochang, stretched out his arms and buckled it, and clasped the shoulders of the Qingyang Daoist who was in surprise, and the blood that had already been pressed could not be pressed gushed out, Qingyang Daochang's face was full of blood red, he never thought that Li Zhong would disgust him in this way, his eyes couldn't see anything, he wanted to wave it, his shoulders were buckled by Li Zhong, his hands couldn't be freed, Li Zhong not only buckled it with his hands, but also clasped his legs around the waist of Qingyang Daochang, although the action was unsightly, but it makes Qingyang Dao Chang unable to display even if he has a body of cultivation.

After struggling for a while, Li Zhong swallowed his last breath, and Qingyang Daoist broke free and wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, but the sleeves were also full of blood, and the blood on his face could not be wiped clean, which disgusted him, but fortunately, he could open his eyes, and then look at the direction of Li Shu's escape, the figure had disappeared.

Qingyang scolded secretly, wanting to chase after him, but felt stagnant, and found that Li Zhong's leg was still buckling his waist, Qingyang was furious, pulled out the long sword behind him, cut off one of Li Zhong's legs, lifted the long sword, and chased in the direction where Li Barrier fled.

After chasing for a long distance, until he saw the surging river under the cliff, and did not find Li Barrier's figure, Qingyang thought to himself: "According to his speed, he will not run so far, is he hiding nearby? This kid is too cunning!" Thinking of this, he turned around and searched back, and found Li Zhong next to his corpse.

At this time, those cavalry chased over slowly, and saw that the Qingyang Daoist was blood-red, his face was full of blood, and he was embarrassed, he wanted to cover his mouth and snicker, but when he saw Li Zhong's corpse, he couldn't hold back his laughter, these people were not familiar with Qingyang Daochang, thinking that he was Guo Kai's doorman, Guo Kai and Zhao Cong went back to restore their lives, and ordered them to follow Qingyang to chase Li Mu's young son, they were very reluctant, when Qingyang Daoist flew away, they all slowed down, and slowly searched around.

Seeing the cavalry rushing over, the Qingyang Dao chief didn't pay attention to it, looked around at the surrounding mountains and forests, and said in his heart: "Could it be that this kid has evaporated!" This birch forest is located on a flat land in the valley, with green mountains extending next to it, and the trees are flourishing, which is very suitable for concealment, and he has already been there on the road ahead, the river is blocked, the water is turbulent, he can't pass, there is only one possibility, he climbed this mountain, so he said to the cavalry: "You go up the mountain to search, be sure to catch that child!"

The mountain is rugged, can not ride a horse, after the soldier dismounts and ties, muttering to the mountain, Qingyang Dao chief waited for the soldier to go up the mountain, stroked his beard, stared at thought, "This son is very intelligent, can not be inferred by common sense, often the opposite, the more impossible the place, may be where he is hidden." ”

"Isn't he on the mountain, but still fleeing in the direction of the river?" Thinking of this, Qingyang Dao Chang walked back quickly, searching carefully all the way, when he came to a thick tree, he suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and he almost fell into a shallow pit filled with leaves, Qingyang looked at it, and saw that some leaves were damp, and they seemed to be carried from around, and said in his heart:" Yes, he must have hid here when I couldn't see it, covering himself with leaves, I was in a hurry to catch up and miss here, and he expected me to return, so he waited until I returned, it seems that he hasn't gone far yet, this son is too cunning, he will be removed!"

Ran more than a dozen steps quickly, got up and stepped on the branches, jumped in the direction of the broken wall in front of him, came to the cliff again, still did not find Li Barrier, saw the strange rocks under his feet, although the river was only a dozen zhang wide, but the sound of the water rumbled, it was the sound of the water hitting the boulder, this river was no one could cross, and it was bound to be hit into pieces.

Qingyang did not give up, "If he is allowed to escape, how can he save face!" Attached to climb down the cliff, he has to go down to look carefully before leaving here, above, this cliff seems to be steep, when climbing down is not very dangerous, not long, Qingyang Dao Chang has climbed to the bottom of the cliff, next to the big river, the boulder by the river is washed by the river water smooth and round, there is moss on it, Qingyang Dao Chang along the very narrow bank under the cliff, over one by one boulders, carefully checked, to prevent Li Barrier from hiding behind.

When he climbed over a boulder with a height of three lengths, Qingyang Dao Chief's eyes lit up, and a rare smile appeared on his face, because on top of another boulder in front of the boulder, Li Shu was sitting there, with no way to escape.

Li Barrier sat on top of the boulder, panting, his eyes were strangely cold, when he saw the Qingyang Daoist climbing down, he knew that he couldn't escape, and he would soon be discovered, so when the Qingyang Daoist approached, he climbed on top of the boulder, and there was a rolling river behind him.

When Li Zhong was killed by the Qingyang Daoist, he did not go far, but hid behind the big tree, watching Li Zhong fight with the Qingyang Daoist and was killed by Qingyang, at that time, he was the only one left in the world.

When Daoist Qingyang ran past him, he walked over and reached out to close Li Zhong's eyes.

Expecting that the Qingyang Daoist would still come back, there were pursuers behind him, he fled along the foot of the mountain still in the direction of the Qingyang Daoist, when the Qingyang Daoist returned, he hid under the tree and covered himself with leaves, the Qingyang Daoist was far away and did not find it, after dodging, he quietly got up and continued to escape, unfortunately, the cliff blocked his way, he had to slowly climb down the cliff and hide behind the boulder.

Li Barrier had never run such a long road, such a rugged road, almost exhausted all his physical strength, for death, he was numb, and when he met a person who was so persistent and let him die, he had tried his best.

Qingyang Dao Leader approached and said proudly: "You kid is too cunning, you almost escaped by you." ”

Li Jian said: "You are so closely chasing and putting me to death, what good will it do you?"

"Cut the grass and eradicate the roots, leave no trouble, besides, your wisdom is too dangerous, if you grow up, then you will have it!"

"A cultivator should ignore the world and meditate on the Tao, but you are eager for quick success and quick profit, and your murderous intent is so heavy, what is the use of wearing that robe?"

Qingyang Daoist has already walked under the boulder, "Hehe, wolves in sheep's clothing abound in this world, and if you get used to wearing them, you can't naturally change them, come down and die, maybe I will bury your head next to your parents' graves, so that your family can be reunited." ”

Li Xuan's breathing was much calmer, his eyes were fixed on Qingyang, without a trace of fear, "I won't let you kill me, you can't kill me." ”

Qingyang Dao Elder sneered, "In such a situation, don't you have any tricks to get out!"

The lonely, sad, and emaciated little body slowly picked up the rotten wooden stake sitting under him, which was less than two feet long and less than half a foot wide, and had been dried, but it was also dragged up by him with great effort.

Holding the stake in his arms, he glared at Qingyang, and said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this, in short, no matter how high your cultivation is, you can't kill me." With that, he leaned back, grabbed the stake and jumped into the rolling river behind him.
