Chapter 16: Moths to Fire
The waist and abdomen were bowed, his expression was focused and calm, and the handle of the knife wrapped in black cloth could not see the young man's strong hand, but the stable blade of the knife indicated that Xu Zi'an had calmed down all his distractions at this time
Running, jumping, the boy did not dare to close his eyes
Stepping on the rockery on tiptoes, the rockery broke a few new seams, stepping on the courtyard slate, a layer of flying dust on the stone slab, every time the footsteps are replaced, the speed will be more urgent, and the sound of the wind cutting through the air by the tip of the knife becomes one, as if the ghost is crying, and it is more as if the ghosts are crying
What if there is no way to hide and nowhere to escape? Then the sword is fierce and indomitable, and the heavens will not have mercy on every reckless man who is not afraid of death, but it will occasionally favor this quality of courage and perseverance
On the tip of the knife, the cyan edge loomed like a cicada's wings
Zhang Yiran, who was waiting in front of the window, flashed a trace of appreciation in his eyes, stretched out his hand to brush up the oil lamp on the table, calmed his mind, moved his fingers slightly, and a new oil needle in the lamp followed, and disappeared into the night in a flash
Xu Zi'an was in the air, and the long knife suddenly went up, and a piercing sound suddenly sounded on the tip of the knife, just like a violin maker plucked an invisible string sound in the air
The arm was slightly slanted, and there were suddenly more wounds on the black night clothes, and the blood was immediately stained, and the young man had no time to eat the pain, so he immediately withdrew the long knife and blocked it between his eyebrows
This scene is very weird and beautiful, but there is a palpitating danger hidden under the beauty, Xu Zi'an is like a drunk dancing alone under the moon at this time, constantly dodging and splitting in the air, but the rapid crisp sound shows how dangerous it is
The oil needle was controlled by Zhang Yiran with divine thoughts, the speed was fast and secretive, Xu Zi'an could only distinguish by feeling, but the pale cyan long knife could not cut off all the oil needles, and could only block some deadly threats, those other oil needles that were as blurry and fine as rain pierced Xu Zi'an's body through the umbrella, and only took a few steps, and there were already dozens of wounds on his body, large and small, some of which were more serious wounds directly through the bones, just like a brocade clothes worn by needles, and he could faintly see the opposite scene
Zhang resolutely frowned, sensing the blockage of the true yuan on the oil needle when it was cut down by the mysterious knife tip green mang, and his self-contained and relaxed demeanor finally began to be a little dignified
That green mangs should be the strange knife intent discovered by Li Daoren, at this time in the dim night, the knife intent is faintly strong
It's like a layer of frost that covers the blade
Looking at Xu Zi'an's figure getting closer and closer, Zhang Yiran had to admit that these oil needles could no longer form enough lethality for the young man, and threw the oil lamp aside, Zhang Yiran lowered his eyebrows and was silent, and suddenly reached out and grabbed a void in the house
There are many cold weapons, and in the center is a cold spear
The gun was not wrapped in any red cherry blossoms, it didn't look special, but it was the most familiar and powerful weapon he was most familiar with, most of the people in Bocheng thought he was used to knives, and even Xu Zi'an saw the knife marks on the wall in that uninhabited alley and thought that he was also accustomed to knives, but in fact, he preferred a spear to a knife
The spear is the standard equipment of the sergeant Dali, when he first joined the army, he was an excellent cavalryman, and the fearless attitude of the young man at this time reminded him of himself who led the charge in the battlefield, so he chose to send the young man to hell in this more respectful way at this time
The glowing cold iron spear was summoned in an instant, and landed steadily in his hand, and in the moonlight, the scythe on the tip of the spear was as sharp as a willow leaf, and the heavy stool could see the traces left by various weapons
The spear had been sitting for a long time, but no dust had ever fallen on it, as the people in the room often wiped it
The man was not the woman who lived there, but himself
So even if I haven't used it for a long time, I never feel strange
Seems to be very satisfied with this familiar feeling, Zhang Yiran's frowning brows gradually relaxed, a trace of fiery battle intent flashed in his eyes, he clenched the middle and lower ends of the spear with both hands, raised his breath, his arms suddenly exerted force, and the spear swept towards the young man, and the sharp tip of the spear just collided with Xu Zi'an's heroic knife tip at this time
While............
A crisp sound that shook the entire courtyard, the wild cat on the city wall who didn't know when to wake up to watch the battle instantly stood up, screamed and quickly fled to the distance, and only came back to his senses after a long time, sighing and sighing, the world's bustle, really not to say that you can make up
The blood on Xu Zi'an's face instantly turned pale, and the strips of black cloth wrapped in his hand were completely shocked into countless rags, and the black cloth was scattered and scattered, like countless black crows, reflecting the young man covered in blood, making him look like a soul envoy from purgatory at this time, more like a lucky person who escaped from purgatory
It's just that those who can escape are called lucky ones
Forcibly swallowing the blood in his throat, Xu Zi'an snorted, his other hand also held the handle of the knife, his wrist was slightly deviated, and the tip of the knife slashed from the side of the spear head, and slashed hard along the shaft of the spear towards Zhang Yiran's eyebrows
Xu Zi'an's approach at this time is to exchange his life for his life
If he wants to let the blade of the Pu knife cut all the way down the body of the gun into the opponent's eyebrows, then he must bear the danger of the spear passing through the chest, an inch long and an inch strong This has always made sense, and among all kinds of weapons, the gun has an absolute length advantage
The tip of his knife was no more than three feet away from Zhang Yiran, but the tip of the spear was closer to him
The tip of the gun pierced the skin, cold and ruthless, the tip of the gun poured into his chest, Xu Zi'an felt that his entire heart was torn, and the huge pain made him frown tightly, but the strength of his hand never decreased
The tip of the knife has already reached Zhang Yiran's eyebrows, and even the tips of the eyebrows have been cut off a few threads, and if they go further, they can penetrate deeply into the other party's head
Looking at the brilliant fire when the tip of the knife brushed the iron, Zhang Yiran suddenly laughed contemptuously, and then spat out a few silent words from between his lips
Those words together
Moths to the fire
...............
When Shen Li used green onion flowers to pass through the Xuan Xuan that night, he was distressed to drink a whole bowl of noodle soup because he couldn't find a usable green onion, although Xu Zi'an was speechless at the time, he was somewhat disapproving in his heart
He had met many cultivators of the Truth Realm during the township examination, although most of those opponents were young people of his age, and the competition was also conducted under the gaze of the invigilator, but he was able to win the battle in the end, and he was still deliberately changing his fighting habits and strength, which made him somewhat think in his heart that even if he couldn't cultivate, he shouldn't be too far behind those cultivators with a slightly lower realm
He knew that the world was extremely mysterious, but he still felt that as long as he could get close, there was always a glimmer of hope
But it was only at this time that he really understood the meaning of Shen Li's words
The gap in the realm seems to be really a barrier that can never be crossed
As the other party said the words moth to the fire, he suddenly felt that his knife seemed to have cut into a huge and dense mass of cotton wool, and the jerky blade, which had always been unfavorable, instantly became as if it was squeezed by the air, and it was difficult to exert force, and he couldn't even draw the knife back
If someone looks from the outside world, they will find that it is not the so-called huge cotton ball that is blocking the tip of the knife at this time, but also circle after circle of air currents that seem to be substance, those air currents are like a violent whirlpool at this time, and the place where Xu Zi'an's blade is located is the center of the wind and waves
Retreat, unable to retreat, advance, and not controlled by oneself, the difference between life and death has become between advance and retreat, and it is also an unselectable advance and retreat
This is the power of a cultivator?
In one thought, the breath of heaven and earth is mobilized for use, and ordinary things such as air and water droplets become extremely powerful, and those who hear that the realm is deeper can forcibly change the irreversible laws of nature such as space and time
Xu Zian's head flashed a strong sense of powerlessness, and he looked down at his chest, the feeling of the spear penetrating into his chest was as numb and cool as an ant's bite, and the tip of the spear tore open his heart, and his heart hurt
Blood slowly oozed from the head of the spear, and a strange and beautiful blood flower bloomed on the black clothes
The more the blood blooms, the more brilliant it becomes
............
The tip of the knife struggled in the center of the whirlpool and let out a burst of mournful roars, like a hummingbird trapped in a cage, flapping its wings but not flying high, able to cut off the cyan edge of the solid oil needle, at this time in the face of this disturbing breeze but helpless, for now, if there is no strong figure named Shen Li who appears in the sky like a god, waiting for Xu Zi'an, it is undoubtedly death
Looking up at the deep and endless night sky, the night sky obscured by dark clouds is not to mention the moonlight, and even a few stars can't be seen, not to mention a middle-aged man with a rough beard on his face, who came to him with unique steps, and then asked in a low voice if it hurts
............
Xu Zi'an has never regretted avenging the little black man, but he is a little depressed that he will die in such a dark and obscure night, compared to the dark and filthy night, he prefers light, likes to be able to read in the afternoon sun, likes to be able to practice knives in the morning sun, and prefers to be able to cook rice porridge in the afterglow of the sunset and wait for Shen Li to go home for dinner, but at this time, it seems that these likes are a very luxurious delusion
At this moment, I don't know whether the moonlight sensed a yearning for him, or the dark clouds found that this remote and poor land had no value worth covering themselves, and the moving crescent moon finally appeared from the thin dark clouds, illuminating the courtyard on the side of Bocheng
This kind of moonlight is very suitable for reading, Xu Zi'an suddenly flashed such a thought in his mind, and then, his desperate eyes suddenly had some brilliance
That brilliance is called hope
He remembered a book, this book was tied around his waist at this time, tied with a strong rattan rope, just now in order to prevent the dense oil needle from destroying the old book, his thighs and waist have a few deep wounds that are deep into the bone, the wound is still bubbling blood at this time, but it is very miraculous that no trace of blood can be soaked in the old book
He used to read while walking, read in the gazebo, and read under the peach blossoms, and seemed to carry the old book all the time, and brought this quaint old book tonight, naturally not to experience the mood of revenge reading, but because of Shen Li's reminder when he left
Shen Li knew what he was going to do tonight, and in this case, he deliberately told him not to forget to bring the old book, then this old book would definitely be useful
Just, how should it be used?
