Chapter Eighty-Five: Paying for Your Life
"Alright then, now please ask my sister to lead the way, and wait until I have visited your master before leaving." "This time, he can be regarded as visiting his sister on behalf of his master and mother. As a junior disciple, if you don't go to meet your senior sister and senior, it will really damage the etiquette of the Dongpo Martial Arts Hall if you don't ask for a hello. Qin Jian, who was well versed in this etiquette, did not dare to slack off and hurriedly proposed it to this maid.
"Little master, don't go, our master and young master are not in the house these days. β
"Oh, how is this good?"
"It's okay!" the young lady ordered when she left, saying that the master already knew that you had come. It is said that we martial arts people don't care about the etiquette of ordinary people, as long as we have a heart. β
"Well, then I can only come to his old man's house next time I have a chance. In this way, I will say goodbye first, and when my sister and brother-in-law come back, I will say hello, and say that I will work hard in Lei Tang, please rest assured. β
As long as the young master and the young lady come back, the slave maid will inform them immediately. β
"Thank you!"
After Qin Jian finished speaking, he bowed and walked out of the courtyard. There were already two guards waiting for him outside the courtyard, and Qin Jian couldn't help but be secretly stunned when he saw that they were all expected to cultivate above the ritual period. Secretly praised: "This Murong family is worthy of being a famous family in the empire, and two guards who came out at random to cultivate above the Wangyi period can be seen from this. β
In fact, he didn't know that this was a master specially invited by Su Xiuyun from his father-in-law's personal guard. After all, the Wangyi period is not sand, but you can grab a handful. In the Thang Long Empire, the control of the wealthy families is actually very strict. Murong Hao is very old as the national ruler, and the royal family has a special exception to equip him with special guards. And the general emperor's relatives still have very heavy obligations to the empire, which can be seen from the high-risk occupations such as Murong Junhao and Su Xiuyun having to devote themselves to assassination missions. It's not at all as rich and luxurious as ordinary people see on the surface. Behind its scenery is also a handful of bitter tears. How could Qin Jian know this, thinking that a wealthy family would have such a style!
There was a carriage waiting for them outside. Seeing this, Qin Jian was no longer polite and sat up directly, saying that he was going to the main square in front of the palace. The two guards didn't say much, and randomly got into the carriage and asked the driver to let the horse go.
Horse-drawn carriages are not allowed to go too fast in the capital to avoid injuring pedestrians. So by the time they reached the huge square in front of the palace, it was nearly noon. Qin Jian dismounted and looked at the square, and it was really as Huang Li said, it was actually a sea of people. There are all kinds of tricks, singing, storytelling, and puppet shows, especially the two outer rows are full of food, and all kinds of snacks from all over the world are gathered here, so that the whole square is wafting with a smell of oil.
Qin Jian was a little dumbfounded when he looked east and west at this time! At the beginning, he and Qing Jianghai were only scheduled to meet in the main square in front of the palace, but they were not accurate. There was so much crowd that he was looking for them for a while. The anxiety in his heart made him stand on tiptoe from time to time and stretch out his head to reach out in all directions. But finding someone from the crowd is like looking for a needle in a haystack, which is so easy.
Just when Qin Jian was anxious and had nothing to do, two young people suddenly came not far away. From the aura of his dress, he knows that he is a martial arts person, and his cultivation is as big as the level of the third or fourth stage in the Fengjing period, which can be regarded as a beautiful person in this age group.
"Is this brother looking for someone?" a young monk asked.
Qin Jian didn't know how to reply for a while, after all, he didn't know the details of the other party, and he didn't know if what the other party asked was his own business. Respond with silence for a while.
At this time, another young monk spoke up: "If your guess is correct, Brother Tai must be looking for you people from the Lei Hall." β
Qin Jian was shocked when he heard this. After all, he is still young and inexperienced, and when he is recognized, his face is shocked.
"Hehehe! Brother Tai is not surprised, we are just passing on a word for others, and we have no other intentions. β
Seeing this, Qin Jian arched his hand and said, "I wonder how the two eldest brothers can know that the younger brother is looking for someone from Lei Tang?"
"Hahaha! Coincidentally, just now we broke up with three brothers from Lei Tang, we heard from their mouths, they were going to wait for another brother to meet and return to Lei Tang together, but I don't know why they had to go back first when they were in a hurry, our brothers and they hit it off at first sight, so they entrusted me and other brothers to wait here, just saw that the appearance of the brother Tai is the same as their description, so I took the liberty to come to say hello, and I hope that the brother Tai will bear with me a lot. β
Qin Jian was overjoyed when he heard this. "Is the three of the two eldest brothers surnamed Jiang, and the other two surnamed Wu and Fang?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's the three of them who asked us to wait for you here, and the three of them have already gone back to the Lei Hall first, so you should hurry there as soon as possible, as if there is something urgent. β
Qin Jian sighed in his heart when he heard this, could it be that when we students were out playing, the two teachers Huang Li and Ji Wen came to an emergency gathering, right?
After the two young men informed Qin Jian, they arched their hands and left. The more Qin Jian thought about it now, the more sure he was that this was the problem that the two teachers gave to these students. Just when they were having fun, they suddenly called to see if they were getting carried away. And according to the style of Teacher Flea, time must be very tight, otherwise according to Qing Jianghai, Wu Ke and Fang Cezhi, they would never easily leave him alone, and hurriedly ran back to Lei Tang to report.
He quickly came to the carriage and asked the coachman's eldest brother to quickly turn the horse's head back to Lei Tang. So the master of the car found a way out of the city gate recently, and hurried forwardγγγγγγ
The ancient Han City is worthy of being the capital of the Thang Long Empire, and the area is too large, even if the chauffeur master drove the carriage to the fastest, it still took more than two hours to drive the carriage to the gate of the city that was the closest to go out of the city, as long as he left the city, the carriage could run completely, and it would be faster.
Drive, drive, driveγγγγγγ
Qin Jian had already asked the master to drive the carriage to the speed of the horse, but he was still too slow to keep urging, and the entire official road was brought up with billowing smoke and dust. After galloping in a hurry for nearly an hour, Qin Jian, who was in a hurry, suddenly felt a chill in his back inexplicably, which was an instinctive reaction before the crisis. And this coolness is getting more and more like a feeling of ice penetrating to the bone.
Qin Jian hurriedly turned back to the two guards who were protecting him and said, "Do the two eldest brothers feel that something is wrong?"
In fact, the two guards were already close to protect him, after all, they were masters of the Wangyi Period, and their perception was extremely sensitive. Seeing Qin Jian turn around and ask, he didn't reply, just nodded silently. This place is at least three hours away from the Thunder Hall, and it is outside a barren forest, surrounded by rolling hills. It looks particularly bleak. This is the best place to ambush.
Qin Jian suddenly remembered what his senior sister said about assassinating the elites of his own country by assassins from other countries, and his back quickly tightened under the shock in his heart. Fortunately, before he went out, he had already put on the magic weapon-level protective soft armor given by the old man Tianlong, which made him feel a little at ease. At this moment, there are two masters of the Wangyi period sent by my senior sister to protect me, and I think that even if the assassins of other countries want to assassinate me, I have to estimate it.
At this moment, the two guards behind Qin Fitness were suddenly stunned, their eyes were surprised, and they were nodding slightly. It looks as if someone is secretly telling them about it. After a while, the two of them were relieved to put away the source power that had already filled their bodies. His face lightened. It's just that all of this was carried out after Qin Fitness, and he had been paying attention to the movement in front of him, not noticing that the two guards behind him had changed amazingly.
Less than two hundred meters after going on, the cone chill became clearer. caused the cold hairs all over the body to stand up. This stemmed from the fact that after Qin Jian broke through to the Voyeur Martial Realm and found his own sea of consciousness, his divine sense sensing power had made such a leap and bound. Of course, this kind of progress has a lot to do with his own innate Great Perfection physique, and even if an ordinary person perceives it, it can't be compared to Qin Jian at this time.
"Big brother in the car, stop quickly, there is danger ahead!" Qin Jian turned back to the two guards and said, "Two big brothers, please take care of the big brother who is driving the car." Be careful yourselves, there is danger ahead. β
"Little brother, don't worry, I will protect you. These two had already been secretly advised, and when they saw that Qin Jian had to think about others in such a crisis, they couldn't help but secretly praise. But they still have to do enough work on the surface. In order to fit seamlessly.
At this moment, a whirlwind suddenly blew from behind a tree as thick as several people on the right, flying sand and rocks, and enveloping the carriage.
"Oh no! there are assassins!" Qin Jian had already sensed that there was someone hidden in this burst of flying sand smoke for the first time, and quickly drew his long sword and stepped forward to protect the chauffeur master in front of him. The 'Holy Shirt Cover' has been randomly opened to protect the whole body. This is still the strongest body protection source shield that he has just learned when he broke through to the Voyeur Martial Stage. Although a large amount of source power is consumed, it is not particularly difficult to use it in the hands of a person like Qin Jian who has a super small universe.
Suddenly, a dazzling bright light flashed in front of his eyes, and Qin Jian's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he didn't wait for it to recover. A blue glow had shrouded him from the flying sand. In a hurry, Qin Jian had already used his sword qi to separate, and the four white sword flowers quickly met with the blue light. With a dull fluttering sound.
Although Qin Jian used his sword qi to separate in an emergency, he still had sufficient stamina, and he had already followed violently with a 'thunder palm'.
Boom! In the sound, most of the flying sand smoke was swept away. Only then did he see an assassin dressed in black not far in front of him, holding a long sword with a blue glow and pointing at him.
"Who are you, why did you come to assassinate me for no injustice or reason?" Qin Jian asked sharply.
The man in black was secretly shocked that his first wave of powerful attacks would be easily broken by him, and it was an unhappy moment in his heart, seeing that he was still questioning so sharply, he suddenly stopped fighting and roared: "Boy! With that, the man in black raised his sword again.
Qin Jian saw that his cultivation had reached at least the second stage of the Fengjing period. It's a whole lot taller than myself. Although his heart is cold, he retains absolute confidence in his strength after breaking through to the stage of peeping martial arts. It seems that although this gap cannot compete with it comprehensively, at least he can get out of it all. There was also a magic weapon on his body, and his heart suddenly relaxed.
Turning around and saying to the two guards behind him, he hurriedly said: "Two big brothers, you don't have to make a move here, just do the formation! Is the guts really fat and boundless?" said that the source power gushed out, and a sword light danced to meet it.
The two swords intersected and flames splashed, and the two source forces collided even more violently. The strong air wave suddenly brought a large ripple, affecting the sand below his body and being touched by the shock wave, plowing a large pit several meters deep.
In the dust, Qin Jian was shaken five or six meters away, his hair was messy, and his face was covered in dust, looking extremely embarrassed. There was a burst of heartache in his right hand, but fortunately, the protection of the 'Holy Shirt Cover' was still there, so he was not injured.
In such a head-on confrontation, the gap between this level is real, if it wasn't for Qin Jian just now, someone else might have been seriously injured. This is also Qin Jian's own fact that he has just been a little encouraged, so that he has suffered from this. Although the width of his small universe was unmatched at the same stage, the purity of the source power of the Fengjing Period compared to the Voyeur Martial Period could not be compared to the quantity.
Qin Jian jumped up and glanced at himself, although his body was not injured, but the long sword in his hand was cut off a big hole, and the long sword was also opened by the other party with such a big gap under the condition of full source power protection, it was obvious that the long sword in the hand of the man in black was not an ordinary thing. Besides, the long sword in his hand was given by Xiao Lingling, and he was injured by the other party, and he was extremely angry.
Looking at the man in black just now, his body shook continuously, and his right hand holding the sword was even more sore. At this time, the shock in his heart was even greater than the pain in his hands. Secretly muttered: "Is this still a test for new students?, why does my brother feel as if he has met a life-and-death rival?γγγγγγ β
It's no wonder that the man in black has such thoughts, mainly because Qin Jian's small universe is too rebellious. Its breadth cannot be matched even by a master like him, who has reached the second stage of the Feng Competition Period.
Just when the man in black was stunned, Qin Jian had already breathed a sigh of relief and rushed over with his sword again. The man in black was about to raise his sword to greet him, but suddenly found that he had lost Qin Jian's shadow.
Qin Jian used the 'Floating and Shadowing' technique, which caught the man in black off guard. Fortunately, the man in black reacted calmly, and hurriedly used his sword to spread a layer of sword mist around him. After all, his cultivation is higher than Qin Jian's, and even if there is a sudden change, it will not make him completely lose his concentration. This is also Qin Jian just collided head-on with the man in black and suffered a small loss, so he turned to use his ghost body method in order to surprise.
Dingdingdingββ dozens of sword blades collided, and the sparks flowed like brilliant fireworks. Although he didn't use the source force to collide like the first time, after this, Qin Jian's shadow was forced to loom.
This series of shots can be regarded as fast and fast. Before the man in black could recover his breath, Qin Jian had already swung his sword again and stabbed him. He knew that his own cultivation was weaker than the other party, and if he blindly fought with all his might, he would definitely not be the opponent of the other party, and he could only take the initiative to attack and consume the opponent with his own endless source power, or he could have a chance to win.
