Cheng Jian's ghost king step, I don't know how much more proficient than Su Moyu, just one step to snatch out, and dozens of afterimages flashed in the hall.

And all the afterimages move freely, and it is almost impossible to tell which one is the real body from the naked eye.

But the red-robed woman didn't seem to be the slightest bit confused, and let the first few afterimages pass through her body, and she didn't dodge in any way.

Finally, after the seventeenth afterimage, her sword was raised high.

While!

There was a crisp sound, and the two swords intersected.

The afterimage of the sky also disappeared into nothingness at this moment.

"You've gotten stronger. Cheng Jian said indifferently.

"It's you who have become weaker. The red-robed woman straightened her arm and threw Cheng Jianxuan out.

At the same time, she flew forward and took the initiative to attack Cheng Jianxue.

Cheng Jianxuan flipped in the air, floated to the ground, looked at her quietly, and then raised his eyebrows and disappeared in place.

The red-robed woman paused for a moment, and the sword in her hand swept diagonally back, and sword qi erupted from the sword.

Where the sword qi was headed, there was a series of metal handover sounds.

The aura in the hall was chaotic, and Cheng Jianxue's figure reappeared, but it disappeared immediately, and then reappeared in other directions.

If it is more than a dozen times, there is a faint tendency to surround the red-robed woman.

"Insect carving skills. The red-robed woman snorted coldly, and rushed straight to a no-man's corner.

After a moment, the two swords intertwined and separated.

The woman's red robe was cut off, starting from her shoulders and reaching her lower abdomen.

Cheng Jianxue looked at her who was almost naked on the other side, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

Because her body, which should be beautiful and moving, was covered with all kinds of scars.

Some are scars from sharp weapons such as swords, and some are whole abrasions.

But more than that, it's all blackened and ugly burns.

These wounds, combined with her beautiful face, looked extremely shocking.

"You ......" Cheng Jianxuan was a little sluggish.

At this moment, the figure of the red-robed woman gradually faded.

At the same time, a sword stabbed diagonally into Cheng Jianxuan's abdomen.

The red-robed woman slowly raised her head, looked at Cheng Jianxuan, who still looked incredulous, and said, "This is all thanks to you—Senior Brother!"

-

Earlier Miscellaneous Officer's Hall.

The rain in early spring carries such a bone-chilling cold.

Even if Su Moyu has cultivation, he doesn't feel so comfortable.

So he went to the window and tried to close it.

But at this moment, in a corner of the cliff, two more people flew up.

Su Moyu only vaguely saw the backs of two people, one old and one young.

That little, Su Moyu didn't seem to have seen it.

But the old man, he recognized it at once.

Renji!

"This old boy, why did you come to the Miscellaneous Service Hall?" Su Moyu frowned and looked in the direction where the two people were going.

It seems to be the same direction as Cheng Jian's choice.

"Could it be that they want to find trouble with the master?" After Su Moyu thought of this possibility, his heart began to feel uneasy.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to check it out.

So he pushed the door out, and slowly chased after him in the spring rain with his not very proficient swordsmanship.

He flew very slowly, firstly because he was really not used to the feeling of flying, and secondly, because he was afraid of being discovered by the two people in front of him.

flew all the way out, but Su Moyu never saw the shadows of those two people again.

Just when he was a little anxious, he looked down, only to find that he had unknowingly reached the sky above the Valley of Ghosts.

The Valley of Ghosts under the rain curtain is extremely silent, especially when viewed from mid-air.

The dilapidated buildings seem to be rotten sores growing in the valley.

Su Moyu hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly fell.

He didn't find any clues, but he thought that the master might be here.

At this time, the rain was thinning, and Su Moyu felt inexplicably depressed as he walked in the valley.

He quickened his pace, aimlessly weaving through the ruins.

Finally, a short time later, I saw the half-hidden bronze door.

Su Moyu had been in the Ghost Valley for a long time, and he remembered that this bronze gate used to be closed, but now how could it be ajar?

The uneasiness in his heart became heavier and heavier, and he walked to the gate with some hesitation, and only then did he press one hand on the door panel and push the bronze gate open.

Then, I happened to see the sword that the red-robed woman stabbed at Cheng Jianxuan.

"Master......" Su Moyu exclaimed.

The two people in the hall glanced in Su Moyu's direction at the same time, and Cheng Jianxue suddenly raised his palm and knocked the red-robed woman back.

But the moment she flew out, she also brought out the long sword inserted in Cheng Jianxue's body.

In an instant, blood splattered out.

Su Moyu didn't think about it, so he ran over and blocked in front of Cheng Jianxuan.

Cheng Jianxuan knelt on one knee, covered the wound with his hand, and raised his eyes to look at the red-robed woman opposite.

At this time, the red robe on her body had completely fallen off, and most of her exposed skin, like her chest and abdomen, was full of scars.

Only the skin on her right arm is still intact, and on her fair right arm, I don't know what ink is used to write two words with strange shapes:

XXXIII.

These two words were obviously black, but they were a little dazzling in the dimly lit hall.

Cheng Jianxue looked at those two words, his lips trembled for a long time, and then he said, "I didn't expect you to fall into Si!"

The red-robed woman glanced down at her arm, and then smiled, "Fallen? I don't think, at least compared to you, I'm much better." ”

Blood flowed from his fingers, Cheng Jianxue's breathing became heavier and heavier, his eyes fixed on her arm, and he suddenly realized that things seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined.

He wanted to take a shot to capture the red-robed woman, but the sword just now injured the dantian, making him unable to gather qi for a short time, so he could only breathe slowly on the side.

Su Moyu also recognized the red-robed woman at this time, he didn't understand what happened between them, but looking at the master's wounds, he also roughly guessed that there was a festival between the two.

He pressed his sword with his hand and stared at the red-robed woman vigilantly, for fear that he would continue to choose a poisonous hand against Cheng Jian next.

The red-robed woman chuckled and said, "You think you can stop me?"

Su Moyu knew that he couldn't stop the other party no matter what, but at this time, he couldn't retreat, so he had to ask hard-headedly, "Senior, why?"

The red-robed woman's gaze passed through Su Moyu, looking at Cheng Jianxue's bleeding wound, knowing that Fang Cai's sword had injured his dantian, at least for a short time, he was powerless to fight again.

At this time, she should have directly taken Cheng Jianxuan's life, but for some reason, she never made up her mind. So she put her eyes back on Su Moyu and said, "Boy, do you want to hear a story?"

Su Moyu was slightly stunned, looked back at Cheng Jianxue, and knew that it would be good to delay the time like this, so he nodded and said, "You say." ”

The red-robed woman raised her head, looked at the shocked portrait on the wall, and said faintly: "That has to go back more than a hundred years......
