Chapter 381: The Line Between Life and Death
The sound of the sword tore through the rain curtain.
The raindrops, which were rolled into a beaded curtain and a bunch, suddenly avoided to the sides, leaving a vacuum belt that was not wide, and this vacuum belt was actually forced out by the sharp edge of the sword that left the people. "Whoosh", the white rainbow that left the human sword passed through the vacuum belt, and shot at the black shadow holding the umbrella three zhang away under the gaze of countless raindrops in the sky.
Although it was only in an instant, the fifth Tingyun's judgment of the situation was extremely accurate.
The umbrella holder at the three feet in front of the alley stood on the boundary of the Fifth Tingyun Sword Inspiration as soon as he appeared, maintaining an absolutely safe distance from the Fifth Tingyun, which showed that there was someone else who really did it. But the umbrella man had to appear again, indicating that he was indispensable for this assassination.
The person holding the sword is behind him, so the umbrella holder only has one role left - to control the field!
This rain curtain is the masterpiece of the umbrella holder.
In a short moment, Fifth Tingyun came up with what he thought was the most reasonable explanation. And the rain that filled the entire aisle, after drenching his body, had the effect of condensing and fixing, so if he wanted to contact the crisis, the first task was to force the umbrella man to make his control of the water elemental power vulnerable.
So, the sword left the man regardless of the sharpness behind him, and went straight to the umbrella man.
The distance of three zhang passed in the blink of an eye under the flight of the human sword. At the same time, the umbrella holder over there held the umbrella in one hand, and changed his handprint with the other, and in an instant, the water elemental forces around the umbrella holder gathered in front of the umbrella holder, and in a moment, it converged into a water shield.
"Sure enough. ”
Seeing the umbrella holder's control over the power of the water element, the fifth hearing of the cloud secretly said, sure enough, the umbrella holder is an elemental! Thinking back to the first time I met Dai Qinglian, the girl was also under a huge purple-black umbrella, and for a long time, regardless of rain or shine, she had to hold a purple-black umbrella, indicating that the elementals who had awakened the power of the water element were very afraid of direct sunlight in the early stage and were afraid of excess yang energy.
In this way, the Taoist of the umbrella holder in front of him is not as high as Dai Qinglian?
After all, Dai Qinglian now seemed to have gotten rid of the stage of relying on elemental magic weapons to resist the entry of yang qi into the body.
Thinking about it this way, the fifth Tingyun became more confident in his departing sword.
"Broken!"
The fifth heard a soft cry in Yun's heart, and the sword stabbed into the center of the water shield, and there was no sound of cracking, but the water shield burst into a cloud of rain and mist in an instant, which was instantly scattered in the air. The umbrella man exclaimed in a low voice and took a few steps back, he really underestimated the judgment and combat power of the fifth Tingyun.
At the same time that the water shield exploded into rain and mist, he no longer moved forward from the human sword, but turned the head of the sword and flew back.
Taking advantage of the gap between the panic of the umbrella holder, the fifth listened to Yun Yuan's force, and sure enough, his whole body was loosely confined, but his legs couldn't break free for a while because they had been frozen. He had no choice but to break through the confinement of his upper body with all his strength, and the moment the sword stabbed behind his back, his body tilted to the left.
With a muffled grunt, he endured the pain of the sword piercing into his flesh.
Luckily, due to the crooked nature of his body, a sword that should have pierced his heart now only stabbed him in the back and arm bone.
The killer behind him missed a sword, and he didn't withdraw his sword, and with a twist of his wrist, he wanted to forcibly cut open the back of the fifth Tingyun.
Feeling the rotation of the sharp sword blade on his back, the fifth Tingyun gritted his teeth and leaned forward. At the same time, the Liren Sword grazed his ears and shot directly at the killer behind him, although he couldn't see the person behind him, he could sense the general location of the person behind him.
"Huh!"
At this time, the umbrella holder saw that the threat was not there, and the seal in his hand changed again, and a strange roar came out of his mouth.
Whirring, strange roars like bells, constantly echoing in this narrow alleyway. Every drop of rain changed in the roar, and they converged on the head of the fifth listening cloud like a pilgrimage. Except for the water elementals that had condensed into ice wrapped around the legs of the Fifth Listening Cloud, all the other water elementals had gathered.
The wall of the alley, the ground, there is no trace of water in an instant.
Boom.
Fifth, when I heard the clouds, I felt that the top of my head was like a heavenly river pouring down, and a large amount of water elements poured down on my head.
He felt the oppression above his head, and in a sudden turn of his mind, the detached sword that blocked the killer's sword behind him, turned his direction again, and slashed at the ice on his legs with a sword. There was a clattering sound, and the ice quickly fell off, and by this time, the water element above his head had already covered it like a waterfall.
Under the clattering sound, a massive amount of water elemental enveloped the entire fifth hearing cloud, and these water elements had turned into transparent ice in an instant. In the solid ice, you can also see the figure of the fifth listening cloud. Ah, the sword behind him came again, piercing directly through the ice. It was a short sword that was only the length of a normal long sword, but even the short sword had pierced through the ice at this moment, stabbing the heart of the figure in the middle of the ice.
"Back!"
The umbrella man suddenly shouted.
The black-clothed killer with the sword immediately changed color, because although the short sword in his hand was stabbed, no blood gushed out. In the past, after his sword was stabbed, the heart of the person trapped in the ice would burst, and the hot blood would seep out along the blade, using the temperature of human blood to melt the ice into blood water.
However, this time is different.
He clearly saw his sword piercing through the ice and piercing into the body of the fifth hearing cloud, but in the blink of an eye, the figure in the solid ice had disappeared, and his sword stabbed only the cold ice. As a killer, when his companion's reminder shouted, he already knew that something was wrong, and immediately ran forward.
Swish.
A sharp edge pulled away behind him like a moon.
There was a thud, and the icicle condensed by the water element, which was intended to trap the Fifth Listening Cloud to death, was swept by the sword qi in an instant, turning into tiny ice crystals. And because of the timely reaction, the black-clothed killer was not seriously injured although his arm was scratched by the sword qi.
"!"
The black-clad killer was wounded in the arm and shouted to his companion.
As a killer, if the fatal blow misses, there will be no second hit.
Grappling is not a killer's forte.
The umbrella holder and the black-clad killer flickered and disappeared without a trace.
Fifth, he didn't chase the clouds, looking at the dark clouds that melted overhead, looking at the light that re-illuminated the alley, and looking at the dry roads and stone walls around him, he knew that the other party had indeed gone away. And in front of him, at the end of this alleyway, Bai Jie was there, and Shi Fu was standing beside Bai Jie.
"Master, you've been here?"
When he saw Shi Fu, the fifth hearing cloud knew that the danger had been lifted.
"Yes, the Water Moon Realm of the Mirage has already made it handy. If it weren't for the moon in the water, you would already be a corpse by this time. Shi Fu looked at the fifth Tingyun with a smile.
But isn't it, the fifth Tingyun was also quite scared in his heart, thinking back to the line of life and death just now, if it wasn't for the mirage trick, the water element freeze and the last sword would definitely pierce his heart. It can be seen that there is a tacit understanding between the umbrella holder and the killer, and I don't know how many people have died at the hands of these two, although their strength is not very high, but they are completely qualified as killers. Of course, he now knows that even if he doesn't know the mirage, at the last critical moment, Shi Fu will still make a move, with the master here, no matter how he is, he will not be violent in the alley.
"Master, what are you planning when you follow these two people but don't show up?"
"Are you going to make a plan? I'm afraid that it's not me who is making someone else's calculation, but someone else who is making your calculation. Shi Fu didn't explain, but the fifth Tingyun knew that this old man didn't come forward directly, he definitely wanted to see the people behind these two killers, or the forces.
