Chapter 50, The Boy and the Girl in Front of the Cliff
The girl had stopped at this time, and the small river not far away turned into a trickling waterfall on the edge of the cliff, and the sound of the water droplets hitting the cliff stone was crisp, like the bright luster in her eyes.
Xu Zi'an stood not far from the girl, there were several messy broken arrows on the ground, and some of the broken arrows were still buzzing, as if he was unwilling to be cut off by Xu Zi'an.
No one believed that Xu Zi'an could cut off these powerful arrow feathers shot by obviously not ordinary martial artists, only himself.
Suddenly there was a sound of falling leaves in the forest, the leaves fell very slowly, and they should not be heard, but at this time, the atmosphere in the field was very quiet, and the sound naturally became very clear.
The sound of falling leaves was quickly disturbed by the sound of footsteps, which were heavy, and seemed to be very tall and strong, but not chaotic, and could be heard with great discipline.
This kind of strict discipline allows them to form a good encirclement and closing momentum, like a big net, whether it is to hunt the prey or die with the prey, they can rein the net rope in a very short time to complete the formation.
Xu Zi'an judged the direction and number of people of the other party from the heavy footsteps, and his eyes were extremely thin, like a still fish.
He was the best hunter in the mountains, and was most familiar with how the old hunter hunted wild beasts.
This encirclement seemed to be intended to trap the two of them in the net, but in fact it was only a preparation for their fate, in other words, the pursuers never seemed to have any intention of leaving alive.
The other party's goal is very simple, that is, to kill the girl, no matter how much it costs.
They don't seem to be assassins, much less killers, they should just be a bunch of dead soldiers.
Such a person is undoubtedly the most terrifying, a person who doesn't even care about life is a brave man, and a group of people represents a very powerful force or a fanatical believer.
Only those powerful forces can cultivate such a group of dead soldiers who are not afraid of death since childhood.
It's a tough group of opponents, and it's also a very scary bunch.
When I first saw the girl, I fell into such a dangerous situation, and this rhythm seemed to be a little urgent, anxious, and ......... It's still a little unclear.
Who was the girl? And why did she offend such a powerful force? From her messy hair and tired expression, it was not difficult to see that this hunt had lasted for a long time, and why did he meet the girl at this time, was this another fresh and deliberate vulgar arrangement by Shen Li before he died? Or was it really just a coincidence?
Although Xu Zixin had many questions, this did not affect the hand holding the knife, which was very stable and firm, and the corners of his mouth were also very tight, and he didn't seem to intend to ask these doubts.
He himself is not a person of many words, and he has just escaped from the battle of the pavilion, whether it is his state of mind or physical strength, he is in a very delicate state, this state has both the joy of just escaping, the grief of Shen's death, and various complex emotions such as confusion and loss of the unknown road ahead
This huge change that seems to have fallen from the sky makes Xu Zi'an's heart more like a stone, hard, silent, unyielding, and stubborn!
He wanted to give Shen Li justice, because like Mo Shou, he always believed that Shen Li was a good person.
This belief is ridiculous, very naïve and naïve, but if you calculate carefully, he is actually only fourteen or fifteen years old, even if he looks old, but after all, he is still a teenager, and he also has the spirit and righteousness that a Haoran teenager should have.
The spirit of a teenager sometimes does not need to be expressed in a sharp and proud way, but it can also be expressed in another form of silence, perseverance, stubbornness, and strength!
At this time, Xu Zi'an is in this state, for this world, he still yearns for the sunshine and yearns for all the good things in the world, but the concept of right and wrong, good and evil that he has always adhered to has some very subtle changes.
He wanted to know the inside story about Shen Li's unknown knowledge, the truth between right and wrong, and he also began to desire to be strong in the real sense, at least strong enough to protect the people he wanted to protect!
He began to think about the nature of the world, the true meaning hidden between right and wrong, good and evil, right and wrong.
At this time, he was like a little cardinal, who began to undergo some unknown transformations after experiencing a life and death ordeal.
But no matter how much it changed, the boy's heart was not blinded by the dust, and he knew very well that he was saved by the girl, so whether it was out of gratitude or some other ......... Reason, what should he do.
And compared to the vast battle between the pavilions, where the sun, moon and stars have to change their momentum, these battles composed of iron swords and arrows are also very tricky, but at least they can be dealt with.
What he has the ability to do, and there happens to be a reason why he must do it, there is no reason why he should not do it.
Even if the other party is not such a delicate woman like Lily Youlan, he will still do it, this is his very simple view of right and wrong.
What's more, where is the girl really delicate?
The scene that just appeared, if nothing else, should be the result of the girl casting some kind of powerful secret technique, although he can't practice, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know how to practice, and even said that because of Shen Li's words and deeds, he already understood a lot of the essence of cultivation before he practiced.
Shen Li would always make his practice very simple in a very straightforward way, such as about the relationship between the heart meridians and the containers.
These are very precious teachings, easier to understand and more precious than the esoteric and obscure mantras in the Taoist scriptures.
Therefore, he can roughly guess that the girl is at least a cultivator of the Xuan Realm at least at a glance, as for whether she has broken through the threshold of the upper realm of the Xuan, he is not sure, but it can lead to the vision of the sharp arrow staying in the air, which can show that the girl must have other magic weapons or treasures in addition to her own cultivation, and those powerful magic weapons can even make the space forcibly change.
It's just that maybe because of the restriction and the realm of the girl, those magic weapons didn't exert their true power.
Thinking of this, Xu Zi'an adjusted his strength to the best, stood silently beside the girl, raised the tip of the sealing knife with both hands and eyebrows, the cyan knife intent was bright, reflecting the green grass under his feet and the river beside him, and his eyes were sharp and cold staring at the dense forest in front of him.
This is the most powerful style he can master in that set of knife duels, during the Pavilion War, he has always maintained this posture to try to help Shen Li, but this posture later became like Shen Li's offering knife, and now what he has to do is to raise the knife, and raising the knife is to meet the enemy!
The beautiful girl with strands of hair like flowers and more picturesque eyebrows was behind him, the light between her fingers became more and more brilliant, and a looming mysterious aura gradually began to gather momentum in front of her!
The water vapor in the air, which was dyed green by the green grass, gradually converged into one very thin stream after another, and the water flow continued to entangle after being rendered by symbols, and finally turned into a magnificent river map!
In the picture, the river is rushing and roaring, and the grass within a few feet is standing upright in the sky, facing the jungle like a sharp cyan short sword, as if it is about to submerge the dense forest.
This was her last resort, and it was also the most powerful magic weapon, she thought that she would not be able to use it anymore, because as long as she crossed this mountain, she could see the walls of Kyoto, and she believed that as long as she saw the majestic city walls, or just walked out of this mountain, then no one in this world could hurt her.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Xu Zi'an's figure, as well as the cyan knife intent on the sealing knife, and there was a flash of light in her eyes, and she was a little surprised.
She had seen countless prestigious geniuses in the world, as well as all kinds of powerful cultivators, and even said that she was extremely gifted herself, even in addition to her noble status, she believed that with her talent and bloodline, she could easily enter any academy in Kyoto City.
Her identity is very noble, really noble, it can be said that in the entire Dali Dynasty, and even in the entire Tianyan Continent, there are only a few women who can be stronger than her background.
Even if it's the self-proclaimed and proud Suzaku!
She is a genius enough, and her status is extremely noble, and her knowledge is naturally very high, but even so, the cyan knife intent on Xu Zi'an's knife still made her a little amazed and surprised.
Cultivators in the world, whether they are sword cultivators, sword cultivators, or other cultivators, all pay attention to attracting the power of heaven and earth, and borrowing the power of heaven and earth.
A sword galloping like a waterfall of three thousand feet, a sword of thousands of miles like a wild goose and a mighty day, this magnificent scene undoubtedly makes the world yearn for it, but if this kind of sword technique and sword technique requires the strength of the cultivator itself, if the realm of the cultivator is high enough, and the true yuan is strong enough, then this kind of sword technique that borrows the power of heaven and earth will be very powerful, but if its own cultivation is insufficient......... Then it will be as easy to break as the water moon mirror flower.
And Xu Zi'an's sword intent is very simple, as simple as a picture she once saw in the apse somewhere in the palace back then.
At that time, she was still weak and her memory was a little vague, but the condensation and essence of the knife in the painting had always stayed in her mind.
Simple, refined, and clean.
Again, it will make people feel grounded.
This made the girl feel very happy, not that the knife intent on Xu Zi'an's knife at this time also brought her this feeling, but that the young man was willing to stand up, and ............ It seems to have the power to change the course of this battle.
Her eyes were slightly curved, like a playful crescent moon.
The crescent moon is reflected in the grass, and it becomes a clear spring.
In the clear spring, those mysterious assassins finally showed their bodies through the forest leaves.........
