Chapter Seventy-Three: The Treasure Trove
In the treasure house, fists and guns are fought, Xu Ziling is already fighting with Li Yuanji, but among the younger generation of Li Valve, Li Yuanji's martial arts are the most, reflecting the fire and shining spear blade like an electric fire frequently kills Xu Ziling, this secret room is not conducive to spear combat, but under Li Yuanji's indomitable fierce momentum, Xu Ziling only feels as if he is entangled by a poisonous snake, but he can't use it.
On the other side, the middle-aged man holding a weapon that looked like a halberd found Kou Zhong, "Young marshal, my emperor doesn't want to meet with the young marshal, after all, the Yangzhou army entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River is our great enemy, but this Yang Gong's treasure house is very important, and the evil emperor relics in the hands of the young marshal are even more related to the rise and fall of the righteous demons, and they cannot be left in the hands of outsiders, so please forgive the young marshal, the magic power is offended." ”
With that, he flicked the blade in his hand and also killed Kou Zhong.
Kou Zhong frowned, as soon as the expert came out, he knew if there was one, looking at the trickiness of the blade angle and the strength of the true qi contained on it, he knew that this person's martial arts were still above Li Yuanji, and he should be Li Yuan's cousin, and Li Zitong, who was also the first master of Li Valve.
Sighing slightly, Kou Zhong put down the small jar in his hand, took out a long knife and fought with Li Shentong, but his injuries did not heal, and within a few rounds, he was forced to retreat again and again by Li Shentong.
But perceiving Li Shentong's stay, Kou Zhong was angry in his heart, he was not angry that the other party looked down on him, but hated himself for being incompetent, he was clear about Li Valve's idea, Yang Gong's treasure house was something they would get, as for the previous agreement with Ssangyong. In their opinion, it is nothing at all, although they want to join forces to deal with the Yangzhou army, but Li Mi, Liu Wuzhou, and Dou Jiande in the north. Which is not a more influential force than the young marshal's army, the wealth of Yang Gong's treasure house is red-eyed, how can it fall into the hands of outsiders, even if it is half.
Li Yuanji and Li Shentong came this time, not so much to kill him and Xu Ziling, but to say that it was a statement,—— this Yang Gong treasure house they Li Valve wanted to swallow it alone. You, Kou Zhong, had better be sensible and get out of here, otherwise I'll kill you.
If Li Valve regards Kou Zhong as a great enemy, he will not be at ease if he is not killed. Kou Zhong's heart was a little better, but this expression of disdain for the killer was like a silent threat and contempt, which made Kou Zhong unable to calm down. He originally embarked on the road of competing for world domination because of Li Xiuning. At this time, he was looked down upon by the Li family again, and suddenly his eyes widened, and then regardless of his own injury, the long knife in his hand flew up and down, and it became more and more fierce in this adversity, and the knife was close to Li Shentong's vital point.
Li Shentong was shocked, looking at Kou Zhong's increasingly fierce sword, he had a murderous intent for the first time.
He had been instructed by Li Yuan before he came. This Yang Gong's treasure house is in Chang'an, so many gold, silver, jewelry, weapons and armor. Others can't take it away, so you can drive Shuanglong away, and you don't have to hurt the killer, but the focus is on the evil emperor relics, if possible, you must take it back, whether this treasure is collected by Li Valve himself to see if he can cultivate a group of masters, or handed over to Cihang Jingzhai to make friends with Buddhism, it is a good choice.
After all, Li Yuan is the master of the Li family's world, and now there is only Li Shimin in the eyes of Buddhism, which has long made Li Yuan, who is the head of the family, dissatisfied, and this battle for the relics of the evil emperor can become an opportunity for Li Yuan to win the support of Buddhism.
Worried about Li Yuan's orders in his heart, Li Shentong had three points of strength in the previous battle, and he was reluctant to kill for a while, one was to retain his vitality for the possible big war in the future, but at this time, looking at Kou Zhong's gradually improving knife technique, he suddenly had a killing intent, this time the matter of Yang Gong's treasure house can be said to have offended Kou Zhong and hated him, and it is not his blessing to keep such an opponent.
With a decision in his heart, the blade in Li Shentong's hand poked out like a long snake, and the whistling wind was mixed with a dazzling cold light, which involved Kou Zhong's whole person, splitting, smashing, sweeping, and stabbing, just a few simple actions, but the blade seemed to come to life, like a python, from various tricky angles to Kou Zhong's vital point, only one blow broke Kou Zhong's knife technique, shocked him to numb, and then the flowing water attack was even more pressing Kou Zhong couldn't raise his head.
Gradually, Kou Zhong's face became as sallow as paper money, and there was a faint blood light between the seven orifices, and he was about to die, and Xu Ziling over there was entangled by Li Yuanji's split horse gun, and he couldn't do anything, so he could only watch Kou Zhong enter the crisis, roaring again and again, but there was nothing he could do.
But I don't know if it's because it's because it's the protagonist, who is loved by the luck of this world, and when he saw that Kou Zhong was about to die at the hands of Li Shentong, the situation changed again.
I saw three figures quickly burst out from behind the living wall, heading straight for a few people, and the one in front shook the streamer in his hand violently, and the true qi wrapped a sharp blade, and slashed at the small jar containing the evil emperor's relics.
Although the small jar was cast in bronze, how could it withstand the full force of the master's chopping, only to see an explosion, and suddenly the whole thing shattered, and then in a cloud of silver liquid, a fist-sized yellow crystal appeared in the secret room.
"Evil Emperor Relic!"
Everyone in the chamber exclaimed.
It seems that it was premeditated, and the streamer of the person who shot before rolled up, wrapped the yellow crystal and pulled it to the side, but his feet rushed outside without stopping for a moment.
The two people behind her were in a hurry when they saw this, and the long sword in their hands slashed towards the person in front of them.
Because of the hand to break the jar of the evil emperor's relics, the girl in front of her was a beat slower, and she had no choice but to stop to deal with the attack from behind, and the delicate and beautiful face was not Wan Wan but who else.
It turned out that in the real treasure house, Wan Wan alone was not the opponent of Yang Xuyan and Shi Fei Xuan, after fighting for a while, she could only find an opportunity to escape, and it happened that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were stopped here by Li Yuanji's uncle and nephew, so they took the holy relics easily.
Looking at the two people who teamed up to kill him again, Wan Wan smiled slightly, with a hint of ill will on her charming little face.
I saw her shake the streamer without hesitation, and the evil emperor relics flew towards Yang Xuyan.
"Senior Brother Yang, the Holy Relic will be handed over to you!"
Yang Xuyan was stunned for a moment, and then gritted his teeth. The long sword in his hand was raised, and then with the other hand he took out a sheepskin bag that had been prepared long ago and put the holy relics in it. Then he flew towards the entrance.
After such a long time of fighting, Yang Xuyan has more or less sobered up, and understands that if there is no accident, he will not be able to kill Wan Wan, so after some consideration, he can only complete his master's task first.
The Evil Emperor Relic contains strange true qi, but it is not something that can be touched lightly. Wan Wan and Yang Xuyan, who were born in the Demon Sect, both knew something, so they had already prepared.
But when Yang Xuyan took the holy relics into his pocket, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Concubine Xuan's color empty sword. This blow in the darkness lit up the entire secret room like lightning.
Since she couldn't kill Wan Wan, she would never allow this evil emperor relic to fall into the hands of Shi Zhixuan.
The illusionary demon body method flashed under his feet, and let the color of the empty sword. Yang Xuyan pulled out one afterimage after another and was about to leave outside the secret room.
It's a pity to hear a burst of crisp laughter. The Heavenly Demon Streamer swept across the large area wrapped in the Heavenly Demon Double Slash.
"Senior Brother Yang, why do you have to leave in a hurry, Wan Wan still wants to talk to Senior Brother for a while!"
Under that strange Heavenly Demon Force Field, Yang Xuyan's afterimages were swept away one after another, and he was forced to stop by the Heavenly Demon Blade.
And the next moment, Li Yuanji and Li Shentong's uncle and nephew invariably threw down their opponents, and the spears and iron halberds in their hands were killed towards Yang Xuyan at the same time, after all, the Evil Emperor Relic was their first target tonight.
Two long blades sliced through the air. stabbed straight towards Yang Xuyan's front door.
As soon as he gritted his teeth, Yang Xuyan shouted angrily. The long sword in his hand stirred at the weapons of the two of them, and unloaded the two aside, but before he could recover his breath, Wan Wan's Heavenly Demon Blade killed again, and Yang Xuyan only had time to turn to one side, and his body was cold, and a long blood line had been drawn.
Looking at the few people approaching again, he glanced at Wan Wan deadly, but suddenly threw the sheepskin bag towards Xu Ziling, who was staying in place on the other side, and then took a few steps back, blocking the exit to the outside.
Xu Ziling was stunned, and subconsciously took the evil emperor relics into his hands.
"Leave the Evil Emperor's Relic!"
Seeing this, Li Yuanji shouted angrily, leaving Yang Xuyan and turning towards Xu Ziling, while Li Shentong followed.
Wan Wan and Shi Concubine Xuan frowned, and did not follow, but confronted Yang Xuyan again, as if in the underground secret room.
Although Xu Ziling's injuries were not as good as Kou Zhongyan's, he was not Li Zitong's opponent, and he was forced to die in just a few strokes.
Seeing this, Concubine Xuan wanted to say something, but Kou Zhong on the side had already shouted: "Ling Shao, this way!" ”
Xu Ziling understood, and immediately threw the sheepskin bag over.
Kou Zhong didn't take the bag, but raised the long knife, and with a flick of the blade, it flew out violently, and it landed in the middle of Wan Wan, Shi Fei Xuan, and Yang Xuyan.
glanced at each other, and the next moment the three of them rushed up together, and in the melee, the evil emperor relics were knocked away again, but this time they fell into the hands of Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji was immediately overjoyed, took the sheepskin bag with one hand, held the split horse pistol in the other, and stabbed at Yang Xuyan who was blocking the door with one shot.
The strength of the spear was highly concentrated on the tip of the split horse gun, and with the speed of the swift stone fire, it forced Yang Xuyan back in an instant.
Then, taking advantage of the gap, Li Yuanji ran towards the passage.
Yang Xuyan and Wan Wan were about to catch up, but a weapon that looked like a halberd hit them in the air and stopped the two.
"No way!" Li Shentong moved the tiger's body, the weapon in his hand was horizontal, and he stood at the entrance of the cave, and he really had the pride of being a husband and a man.
And behind Wan Wan and Yang Xuyan, the color empty sword in the hands of Concubine Xuan swayed, and the killing machine shrouded the two of them.
For Shi Fei Xuan, it is also a good choice for the evil emperor relics to fall into the hands of Li Valve, and she will have the opportunity to ask for it in the future, but at this time, she needs to intercept the people of this demon gate.
glanced at each other, and without any words, Wan Wan and Yang Xuyan respectively went towards Li Shentong and Concubine Xuan, and for a while, the secret room was full of murderous opportunities.
On the other side, Li Yuanji had already rushed out of the well, and looking at the sheepskin bag in his hand, there was a trace of excitement in his eyes.
Li Yuanji is also an ambitious person, and he covets the throne, but he has no advantage over the two brothers, so as a last resort, he can only rely on his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, planning to fish in troubled waters, and secretly wooing a group of people, but recently Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng have become more and more fierce, but there is no room for him to develop. Li Yuanji was naturally anxious about this, but it was a pity that he didn't have any way to make meritorious contributions while staying in Chang'an, so he could only watch those positions being divided between his two brothers' subordinates. At this time, the evil emperor relics in his hands were his only hope. With this merit, he can get some positions of real power, accumulate strength, and then take advantage of the two brothers to compete and plot big plans.
Looking at the sheepskin bag, Li Yuanji seemed to see the road leading to the dragon chair, and the whole person couldn't help but feel a little fluttery. Running non-stop towards the outside of the courtyard.
But at this moment, his brow furrowed, and he stopped Xia Li suddenly. Drink up.
"Who! Hide your head and show your tail, get out of here for His Highness! ”
The courtyard was quiet at first, and then there was a burst of crackling, accompanied by crisp applause. In the corner of that courtyard. Behind the trees and outside the wall, more than a dozen figures came out, it was a group of Turks, but the leader was the Han Chinese.
I saw that the Han man had a smile on his face, and said to Li Yuanji: "It is worthy of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, it seems that Li Valve won tonight!" ”
Looking at the person who came, Li Yuanji's face changed, and he hung the sheepskin bag around his waist. Holding the spear in his hand tightly, he said lightly: "Zhao Deyan." You haven't returned to Turkic, how can you stay here again, and leave quickly, otherwise Hugh blames the gun in His Highness's hand for not recognizing people! ”
Zhao Deyan, known as the Demon Shuai, the master of the Demon Gate Demon Xiangzong, ranked third among the eight masters of the evil sect, served as the Eastern Turkic National Teacher as a Han Chinese, and came to Chang'an not long ago to discuss with Li Yuan about dealing with the Yangzhou army, and he didn't want to leave at this time.
Listening to Li Yuanji's words, Zhao Deyan had a stronger smile on his face, "But there are some things that still need to be dealt with by Deyan, so I need to stay in Chang'an for a few more days." ”
Li Yuanji's brows furrowed even tighter, and he looked quietly towards the outside of the courtyard, looking at the way out, but he scolded angrily: "Zhao Deyan, don't think that you are the Eastern Turk National Teacher, Your Highness will not dare to kill you, this is Chang'an, my Li family's territory, I advise you to be more interesting, and leave quickly, otherwise His Royal Highness will show his father and take down your group of spies!" ”
Zhao Deyan showed a warm smile, which seemed to have a bit of a mocking taste, Li Yuanji felt a lot in his heart, and he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know where the problem was.
Then without any warning, Zhao Deyan shouted: "Do it!" ”
Two swarthy steel spears with tail fingers drilled out like poisonous snakes from Zhao Deyan's left and right sleeves, and the head was a diamond-shaped sharp cone, poking at the two of them like meteors, and the yin damage was extremely vicious.
This pair of Qimen weapons in the Demon Gate and the two domains are famous for a while, called 'Variety Ling Lance', can be soft or hard, infinite changes, there are unpredictable opportunities for ghosts and gods, it is Zhao Deyan's weapon to become famous, not only is not afraid of the magic weapon splitting, but also the nemesis of the sword, to him with a special method to entangle, almost unable to escape the doom of being snatched.
Zhao Deyan's greatest strength is to take the initiative when others never thought that he would make a move.
Looking at the oncoming rhombic spear, Li Yuanji's pupils shrank, and the split horse pistol in his hand swept away.
"Zhao Deyan, you dare!"
Zhao Deyan laughed, put the spear back into his sleeve, and arched his hand: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi should also know my identity, I am the master of the Demon Sect, this holy relic is the thing of my Demon Gate, but it must not be taken away by His Highness!" ”
The Turks around them surrounded suddenly, although there were only a dozen people, but they were all carefully selected elites, plus brave and ferocious, more than a dozen scimitars surrounded Li Yuanji and cut his head.
Li Yuanji split the horse gun and forced this group of Turks away, but he was anxious and angry, and the third son of the Li family was besieged in the capital of the Li family, and he immediately hated this Zhao Deyan to the core.
"Zhao Deyan, if you dare to make a move towards His Royal Highness, aren't you afraid that my father will ask the Turks, I see how you will explain to Jieli at that time!"
Zhao Deyan smiled, and the spear shot out of his sleeve again, up and down, and divided Li Yuanji's face and lower abdomen.
The people in the Demon Gate are selfish, he Zhao Deyan is also for his own interests to give advice to Jieli, with the Holy Relic in hand, his skills will be on the next level, at that time, maybe he can compete with Wuzun Bi Xuan, then why bother to look at Jieli's face, and even if he doesn't succeed, now that the Turks are strong and Li Tang is weak, Jieli will not blame him much, so how can he take Li Yuanji's words to heart.
Li Yuanji saw that Zhao Deyan was unmoved, his face was gloomy, this Zhao Deyan's martial arts were still above him, plus these dozen subordinates, if he really didn't care about a qiē, he was afraid that he would die here, but if he wanted to give up the evil emperor relics in his hands, how could he be willing, so he barely coped with a few rounds.
Looking at Zhao Deyan's more and more aggressive killing moves, knowing that he was becoming more and more impatient, in Li Yuanji's heart, after all, it was the survival side that had the upper hand.
"Stop!" Li Yuanji forced the battle formation of the Turks, it was a loud shout, and Zhao Deyan on the opposite side put away his spear, and waved his hand at the group of Turks, and a group of people collected the blades in their hands, but they still surrounded Li Yuanji.
"His Royal Highness King Qi wants to open it?"
If possible, Zhao Deyan did not want to offend Li Valve to death, after all, it seems that only Li Valve can really confront the unheard Yangzhou army, and the Turks are not ready to go south, but they do not want the Central Plains to be unified at this time.
"Zhao Deyan, you write it down to His Royal Highness!" Reluctantly took the sheepskin bag from his waist, Li Yuanji finally glanced at it reluctantly, gritted his teeth and threw it to Zhao Deyan.
The sheepskin bag crossed an arc and flew towards Zhao Deyan, looking like it was about to fall into his hands.
But at this moment, a burst of wind broke behind Zhao Deyan, and a figure came across the air at a high speed that no one could believe, and came behind him in an instant, and his palms slammed towards Zhao Deyan's back.
"Look for death!" With Zhao Deyan's skills, he didn't even notice when the other party was approaching, he was shocked and angry, and immediately struck behind him with both palms.
The four palms were facing each other, only to hear a muffled thunder, Zhao Deyan was hit by the black shadow a few steps, his chest was sweet, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and the black shadow rushed forward, grabbed the sheepskin bag in his hand, and did not stop, turned around and ran towards the outside of the courtyard.
One after another illusionary afterimages appeared in the air, making it impossible to tell which was the true body of the black shadow.
Looking at the afterimage, Zhao Deyan shouted angrily.
"Shi Zhixuan, it's you!" (To be continued......)
