Chapter Twenty-Three: Kill Duan Xuan
At dawn the next day, the Duan family's caravan was ready to go, and the third prince of the Duan family gave an order, and the mighty convoy loaded a cart of ore and set off towards Liushi Town of the Malan Empire.
Duan Ruikun was followed by a middle-aged man in his sixties who was particularly conspicuous, because this person was hunched over, with a Chinese face, and his face was covered with pockmarks, which could be said to be quite ugly, and he was wearing a black hemp shirt, walking in front, carrying a knife behind his back, the knife was very long, almost as tall as him. This person is Duan Xuan, the chief steward of the Duan family.
Duan Ruikun led people to walk on the path of Dangyang Mountain, looking proud, and along the way, he also followed Duan Xuan to discuss cultivation matters. At this moment, a faint voice came from the front: "Duan Gongzi, are you going to leave like this after taking my things?"
In the dense forest, Qin Shuai's figure slowly walked out of the dense forest, and Liu Yidao immediately asked everyone to surround Duan Ruikun and the others in the back.
Duan Ruikun was indeed surprised the moment he saw Qin Shuai, but he was relieved to see that there were only a few dozen people on Qin Shuai's side, that is, half of their caravan.
Looking at Qin Shuai, Duan Ruikun sneered: "Qin Shuai, your father Qin Zongguang said it, this matter is over, don't let you get into trouble, but now you dare to come to me for trouble, I think you are deliberately making yourself uncomfortable! You are not afraid that your father will lose his third son, but your eldest brother has already been abolished, and if you lose you again, will your father go crazy?"
Qin Shuai pulled out the Nine Shadows Knife on his waist, walked towards the caravan in four directions, and said in a calm tone: "Qin Zongguang said forget it, but I can't just forget it, otherwise, who will compensate for my losses?"
Duan Ruikun suddenly frowned: "Come hard, you are looking for death!" Having said that, Duan Ruikun felt that something was wrong, just now Qin Shuai actually called Qin Zongguang's name, and at the moment he has a pitiful lack of manpower, this Qin Shuai is so arrogant that he wants to use this person to rob and kill their Duan family's caravan, where did he get such a big confidence? But now that Qin Shuai has already made a move, his side will naturally not be arrested.
Duan Ruikun waved his hand directly and said coldly: "Give it all to me!"
As soon as the words fell, the people of the Duan family's caravan drew their weapons from the convoy behind them and confronted Liu Yidao and the others. Liu Yidao sneered with a heavy knife, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, after eating Qin Gongzi's meal for such a long time, it should be our turn to make a difference, let Qin Gongzi take a good look, although the brothers have eaten a little more, this killing is also a good word!"
As soon as the words fell, Liu Yidao and his bandits immediately fought with the caravans under Duan Ruikun. Although there are few people under Liu Yidao, they are all murderous bandits, almost everyone has a human life in their hands, and they have even fought with the imperial army countless times, although the number is only half of the Duan family, but they suppressed the other party as soon as they came up.
And Liu Yidao also fought with Duan Ruikun, the two of them used a heavy knife, the other used an ordinary sword, one was a light route, and the other was a heavy route. When it comes to the foundation, it is actually Duan Ruikun's family background that has the upper hand, after all, even if the Duan family is a small family, it will not lack Duan Ruikun's cultivation resources, and Liu Yidao is just a small role among the bandits.
It's just that Liu Yidao's actual combat experience is much stronger than Duan Ruikun's, and it is completely one-sided. It's purely a cat playing with a mouse.
Duan Xuan jumped off the horse, took out the long knife he was carrying behind his back, looked at Qin Shuai and said in a deep voice: "Master Qin, do you really want to completely tear your face with my Duan family?" The character of the head of the Qin family I know, if you dare to come and kill us today, I am sure that the master of the Qin family does not know, if you retreat now, I can act as if nothing happened." ”
"Then what if I don't retreat?" Qin Shuai carried the Nine Shadows Knife and said in a deep voice.
Duan Xuan pointed the long knife in his hand at Qin Shuai and said coldly: "If Gongzi Qin doesn't retreat today, then I can only break your leg and send you back to the Qin family." Killing you will anger the Qin family master, but this time, you took the initiative to disobey the Qin family master's order to trouble my Duan family, and it is reasonable to abolish you. ”
"What a reasonable one!"
Qin Shuai directly drew his knife and slashed it, and said coldly: "Now it is reasonable for me to kill all of you here!" The Nine Shadows Knife came out of its sheath, and its momentum was extremely violent, and the blade of the cold seemed to reveal a hideous blood, like a demon in hell.
Duan Xuan snorted coldly, the long knife in his hand was also tricky, the two knives touched, Qin Shuai suddenly felt a strong attack, and even made his hands feel a tingling feeling. The gap between the realms was immediately apparent.
Duan Xuan waved the long knife in his hand and said lightly: "Young Master Qin, although the realm is only one realm apart, the gap is unimaginable, although you are stronger than those in the same realm, but you have not reached the Demon King realm, that is the gap." ”
Duan Xuan's voice fell, and he suddenly burst into a shout, and the long knife in his hand slashed down with a heavy coercion, Qin Shuai's figure moved, and opened sideways towards the rear, but Duan Xuan's long knife turned into a stab and came straight to Qin Shuai's chest.
Qin Shuai hurriedly erected a blade to resist, but he was taken several steps back by this stab, his arm was numb, the qi and blood in his body were shocked, and his face was red, but Qin Shuai's eyes burst out with a gleam. This is the power that a demon king should have.
Qin Shuai directly bullied him, and the Nine Shadows Sword Technique was extremely evil and evil by him, and the blade slashed out from unexpected places, attacking all of Duan Xuan's fatal parts. Watching Qin Shuai perform the sword technique, Duan Xuan's brows furrowed, unexpectedly, Qin Shuai, a great magician, could actually perform such a powerful sword technique, which surprised Duan Xuan, he couldn't be entangled anymore, otherwise, who knew what hole cards were behind this person. Duan Xuan thought to himself.
But at this moment, the battle situation on Liu Yidao's side changed. The gang of bandits under Liu Yidao basically slaughtered those people in the Duan family's caravan, and Liu Yidao himself also had the upper hand in the battle with Duan Ruikun, seeing that Duan Ruikun was about to be defeated, this scene also made Duan Xuan a little anxious.
The big long knife was originally played very calmly, but at this time, Duan Xuan couldn't stabilize it, and if it dragged on, Duan Ruikun's side would be in danger! So after Duan Xuan swept away Qin Shuai's knife, the knife technique turned from defense to attack without jerkiness, and slashed towards Qin Shuai with a bang.
Qin Shuai's eyes narrowed, the Nine Shadows Knife in his hand deflected the big long knife, and the blood-colored blade followed the big long knife, slashing towards Duan Xuan all the way with a dazzling spark, and the blood-colored killing machine was approaching, but Duan Xuan seemed to have expected this, he actually let go of the big knife directly, and the double * fork was clenched, like a Buddha seal, and smashed down on Qin Shuai's head! The Nine Shadows Knife in Qin Shuai's hand appeared in front of Duan Xuan in an instant like a poisonous snake and was weird, heading straight for Duan Xuan's eyes, and by the time Duan Xuan reacted, it was already too late. It's too fast. Duan Xuan never thought that Qin Shuai's sword technique would be so weird. His eyes were filled with sword light, his eyes were blinded in an instant, and the shadow of the knife slashed through Duan Xuan's neck strangely, and in an instant, the head fell to the ground, and there was a corpse that fell.
Qin Shuai stood in place with the Nine Shadows Knife, and blood couldn't help but overflow from his mouth. He touched his chest, where there was a sharp pain, and the bones were probably broken.
However, looking at Duan Xuan's headless corpse in front of him, Qin Shuai sighed in his heart, this time his victory was really a bit dangerous, and this Xuan was stronger than he imagined. There was not the slightest loophole in the fight. If it continues to drag on, let alone win, it is estimated that a small life will have to be taken. Fortunately, in the end, this section of Xuan was in a hurry, turned defense into offense, and was caught by Qin Shuai, and finally exchanged his injuries for his life and killed him. However, this injury is worth it, not only killing Duan Xuan, but also when fighting with Duan Xuan, Qin Shuai also felt the surging rhythm of his body, which gave Qin Shuai a lot of insights, after this battle, Qin Shuai went to retreat again, and it is estimated that the realm of the demon master will not be far away.
