Chapter 136: Draw your sword
Yue Shiting couldn't speak.
He slashed through the hurricane with a sword, and in that breathing space, he swept away from the sword qi, and slashed down Qi Xiaoran with his sword.
Qi Xiaoran was only stunned for a moment when he saw this, so he smiled coldly, "Resist stubbornly, I don't have so much time to play with you, this sword will kill you!"
He swept out and directly faced Yue Shiting's sword, he didn't have any extra thoughts in his heart, he just needed to take out the sword and cut the opponent's neck.
Although Yue Shiting was the first to strike the sword, Qi Xiaoran's sword was the last to strike.
A surging sword aura erupted.
An extremely dazzling white glow exploded on the blade of the sword.
The figure appeared on the left side of Yue Shiting, stepping out, sweeping with a sword, the angle was extremely tricky, Yue Shiting could only watch the sword sweep away, even if he reacted in his heart, the sword in his hand didn't have time to make any movements, and with a soft sound, blood burst out in large pieces, staining his vision with a piece of blood.
Qi Xiaoran looked at Yue Shiting's eyes with a flat expression, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Yue Shiting half-opened his mouth and made a ho-ho sound, the sword he was holding in his hand also fell to the ground, his body shook several times, the blood stained the ground, condensed with the loess, and his eyes gradually lost color.
It is often said that before people die, the past will appear in front of them like a marquee, but Yue Shiting didn't see that, what he thought in his heart and what appeared in his mind was the appearance of his wife and children.
He thought with some sadness, if he died, how would their orphans and widows survive in this world?
And will that person really let them go?
Until he died, all he thought about was the safety of his wife and children, at this moment, he really regretted it, if he didn't do that at that time, but chose to lower his head, wouldn't it have been the result?
But he thought dejectedly, maybe even if it was like that, the ending would not change anything, just die early and die later.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the list is no longer in Swallow Town, and maybe one day, this list will be published to the public, and that person will be punished as he deserves.
His consciousness was disconnected.
The body fell again.
Blood soaked his body, blooming with gorgeous flowers.
Qi Xiaoran silently looked at Yue Shiting, whose qi was cut off, and raised his eyes to look at the two figures rushing in the distance.
Li Mengzhou's footsteps gradually slowed down, he looked at Yue Shiting lying on the ground, then looked up at Qi Xiaoran, and said with a somewhat complicated emotion: "You killed him?"
He felt that he would be able to discover Yue Shiting's hidden secrets tonight, but he didn't expect that all he saw was Yue Shiting's corpse.
He didn't know Qi Xiaoran.
Although he knew the name of the previous head of the Water Mirror Division, he had never seen Qi Xiaoran's appearance.
But he was at least sure that the person who killed Yue Shiting was definitely not a monk outside the mountain.
Then there is conclusive and doubtful evidence for the purpose of the three black-clothed men who assassinated Yue Shiting in Yue's mansion, or their true identities.
......
The stars are bright at night.
As it was close to the early hours of the morning, a light white had already appeared on the horizon.
The wet fog gradually rose in the woods, and there seemed to be wisps of white smoke in the starry sky in the middle of the night.
This picture is very clear and beautiful.
Facing Li Mengzhou's inquiry, Qi Xiaoran just smiled at him, stepped on Yue Shiting's body, pointed the tip of the sword at him, and said, "Cat face and rabbit face...... Two unsightly guys, what, do you want to come and die?"
Since Qi Xiaoran died once, he has also thought about a lot of things.
Although he used to be the head of the Water Mirror Division, he controlled most of the power and wealth, and he also had a lot of weight in the court, but in addition to money, he actually didn't have a lot of power.
Now he has no power at all, but he is relatively free, and he should live a good life for himself.
Although he is still controlled by others, he is far better than the court.
Li Mengzhou's expression was flat, although he couldn't see any expression under the cat's face mask, and said in an unhurried tone: "So you are in the same group as the three black-clothed men who assassinated Yue Shiting?"
He didn't wait for Qi Xiaoran to answer, he turned his head to look at Gu Shiyan beside him, and said: "It seems that your confusion is accurate, the purpose of those three black-clothed people is not to lure Beizangfeng away from the North City Gate at all, they have always wanted to kill Yue Shiting, and now I even suspect that those three black-clothed people are not monks outside the mountain at all, but someone is fishing in troubled waters by taking advantage of the affairs of people outside the mountain." ”
Gu Shiyan said: "When the capital is gathering great forces to encircle and suppress people outside the mountain, some people want to make a fuss here, which can be described as very bold, and the energy behind it is also extraordinary, I don't think any small role has the courage to do such a thing." ”
I don't know why, Li Mengzhou subconsciously thought of Qin Chengyi.
If it is said that the people with great energy in the capital, in addition to His Majesty the Emperor himself, only Qin Chengyi has extremely high power.
After all, he is a prince, even if he is a powerful person in the cultivation mountain gate, he must pay tribute to him on formal occasions.
He had suspected that Yue Shiting and Qin Chengyi had colluded because Song Yidao, a doorman from King Lu's Mansion, had gone to find Yue Shiting, and now Yue Shiting had been assassinated in his own home, and now he was killed directly outside the city, so he had to have the idea of overturning his original suspicions.
Although he failed to discover the secrets hidden by Yue Shiting, the fall of Yue Shiting seemed to have revealed something.
There is no reason for the monks outside the mountain to kill Yue Shiting, and the only one who has entanglements with Yue Shiting is the doorman of the Nalu Palace, the mountain master Song Yidao.
Li Mengzhou had reason to suspect that it was Prince Qin Chengyi who wanted to assassinate Yue Shiting under the guise of being a monk outside the mountain.
Ruoyue Shiting and Qin Chengyi are not in the same group.
Then the list in Swallow Town is really the person Yue Shiting found out who was secretly doing some unsightly things for Qin Chengyi.
Combined with the list also has the name of Cheng Taijing in the imperial history, all of this makes sense.
Others don't know that Taijing is doing things for Qin Chengyi, and Li Mengzhou can be sure.
And when he got that list, Li Mengzhou also secretly assassinated some people who were not in the capital, or some small people who were not taken seriously, although he couldn't get any useful information from them, but they were indeed inseparable from Qin Chengyi.
It's just that because he couldn't see through Yue Shiting at that time, Li Mengzhou didn't think deeply, in fact, he always knew that Qin Chengyi was the person behind the scenes, but he was not qualified to stand in front of Qin Chengyi, so he retreated and put his goals on the people who could deal with it.
Qi Xiaoran listened to their conversation silently, and said in a voice that was colder than the night wind at the moment: "Young people sometimes have a lot of ideas, I don't care if the person who assassinated Yue Shiting is a monk outside the mountain, but I am not, and I have already successfully killed him, if you want to draw the sword, I will accompany you, if you don't dare to draw the sword, then you will obediently come and die." ”
Hearing this, Li Mengzhou frowned deeply.
He didn't know if Qi Xiaoran's words meant that there were no three hundred taels of silver here.
Qi Xiaoran did not deny that he wanted to kill Yue Shiting, but he also did not admit that the three black-clothed men who assassinated Yue Shiting were accomplices, and the identity of the so-called monks outside the mountain was also ambiguous, although it was difficult to change the things that Li Mengzhou had identified, but Qi Xiaoran's attitude was indeed a little strange.
Gu Shiyan ignored Qi Xiaoran's words, and drew her sword out of the sheath without hurrying, although she knew very well that Qi Xiaoran could kill Yue Shiting, and she must also be a great monk at the peak of the Four Realms, and she might even be very close to the threshold of the Five Realms, but Gu Shiyan still did not have the slightest fear.
She said in a cold voice: "I draw my sword now, you can kill me if you have the ability." ”
Li Mengzhou was stunned for a moment, he almost forgot that Gu Shiyan herself is very dark-bellied, obviously has a fairy-like face, but she often has amazing words, pure inconsistency between appearance and appearance, and the ability to talk about people is also prohibitive.
Gu Shiyan is still like this, and Li Mengzhou, who is a sword cultivator, of course, can't fall into his prestige.
Can you beat Qi Xiaoran without thinking about it, the other party has already provoked in person, how can there be any reason not to draw a sword?
Li Mengzhou was holding his natal sword in his hand, he was originally ready to make a move with Yue Shiting, because Yue Shiting had seen the Wuqing Sword in the five-story building, so he deliberately changed a sword, but he didn't expect that when he drew the sword, he was facing another person.
Sword cultivation is never afraid of battle.
Even in the face of an invincible opponent, at least a sword must be slashed.
It's an attitude.
It belongs to Jian Xiuning's unbending attitude.
Although Li Mengzhou has always followed the belief of cherishing his life, he will run if he can't fight, and he will never step forward to die, but this does not prevent him from cutting this sword.
Gu Shiyan often goes out, as short as half a month, as long as a month, although it is called to practice, but Li Mengzhou really didn't find that her cultivation has improved much, since she first arrived in the capital, until now, the realm has not broken through, but I think it should be at least close to the peak of the four realms.
Even if you can't beat Qi Xiaoran, you can still save your life.
At this moment, Qi Xiaoran stepped on Yue Shiting's cold corpse, swung his sword to smash the incoming night wind, and said calmly: "What's the use of being so stubborn, in my opinion, what you should do is to escape, although that will disappoint me, but if you dare to draw your sword from me, you must be ready to die, you, have you ever had this kind of awareness?"
Li Mengzhou sneered: "You have a lot of nonsense." ”
Qi Xiaoran shook his head and said: "Actually, I don't like to talk nonsense, but I have been in the dark for a few months, and I am really a little depressed and panicked, and I finally see the light of day again, even if I want to kill, I always want to be able to say more, although you are not qualified to talk to me at all, but I am in a good mood, you should know how to cherish it, because soon, you will be speechless." ”
After all, it is the one who has died once.
And during the time of 'death', he really didn't say anything, because he couldn't find anyone to talk to, and if his state of mind wasn't stable enough, he would have been suffocated a long time ago.
Li Mengzhou just smiled, clenched the sword in his hand, and quickly handed it out.
And Gu Shiyan also swept forward, and the sword qi slashed straight towards Qi Xiaoran's body.
Qi Xiaoran looked at the two attacking swords with some surprise, these two young people wearing cat face and rabbit face masks respectively were a little more powerful than he expected, and he secretly thought in his heart, which young people in the capital city matched the identity of these two people.
Although Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan are both wearing masks, their voices have not changed much, and they can still be heard that they are very young, if they are not extremely familiar people, it is difficult to judge who they are from their voices alone.
Don't say that Qi Xiaoran, who has been 'dead' for several months, even if he was 'alive', he has never dealt with Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan, how can he guess their identities.
But these are not important things, Qi Xiaoran's thoughts are just to kill them.
Although the purpose of his re-seeing of the light of day was only to intercept and kill Yue Shiting halfway, he was out of trouble at the moment, and he must be extremely dissatisfied when he knew about it, but after all, he had been the head of the Water Mirror Division for decades, and his habit of doing things had not been completely changed.
Fortunately, Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan didn't know who he was, otherwise Mo said that he was in this situation, just seeing his face, everything was basically clear.
Qi Xiaoran poured his breath into the long sword in his hand, and at the moment when he slashed out, there was a sound of sword roaring, and the majestic breath gushed out, directly swinging away the sword that Gu Shiyan slashed, and the trend did not decrease, bombarding the sword qi handed over by Li Mengzhou.
The night wind howled and tore through the air.
The sword qi that Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan slashed out collapsed and dissipated in an instant.
The sword qi that belonged to Qi Xiaoran was still surging wildly.
That sword exuded a majestic aura.
The vegetation in the mountains is wreaking in the night wind.
Li Mengzhou's face became a little unsightly, although he knew that Qi Xiaoran was very strong at the beginning, but he didn't expect Qi Xiaoran to be so strong that he and Gu Shiyan could disintegrate the strongest sword that he and Gu Shiyan slashed out with just one sword.
Even if it's just called, it's not really the strongest, but the result is very unpleasant.
But instead of flinching, he handed out another sword.
At this moment, Qi Xiaoran was standing within three feet of him.
With Li Mengzhou's strength to barely step on the threshold of the Four Realms with half a foot, plus Gu Shiyan, even if it cannot be superimposed to the peak of the Four Realms, it is also a force that should not be underestimated.
However, Qi Xiaoran had the ability to easily kill Yue Shiting, who was at the peak of the Four Realms cultivation, and the strength of Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan was obviously not enough, but they still had no fear of swords.
The sword of the three-foot autumn water is wrapped in the breath of autumn killing, even if it is just approaching summer, but at this moment, autumn seems to be coming in advance, and the sword is rising, and the strongest sword of Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan is frantically bombarded towards Qi Xiaoran.
Qi Xiaoran looked at the two swords in front of him, although he had the strength that was very close to the peak of the Four Realms, but after all, he was still too inferior, he said with an unmoved expression: "Although I am not as strong as Xu Hexian, there are very few people in the same realm who can let me fight with all my strength, you two juniors who don't know the so-called, are indeed so powerful that I didn't expect it, but unfortunately it is still not enough." ”
Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan did not speak.
It's just that they are seriously outputting their strongest swords.
Qi Xiaoran also seemed to feel a little bored, thought about it, and sighed lightly: "That's it, you can die under my sword, at least among the juniors, it is also a privilege, although your qualifications are very high, but you should not belong to those mountain gates, otherwise I have no reason not to recognize me, and you have no reason not to recognize me." ”
Qi Xiaoran's expression became serious.
Then the wind began to stir around him.
He raised the sword in his hand and gently pointed at Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan respectively.
The wind howled wildly, and the dust obscured the vision again, and the sword light soared, and the stars in the night sky became even more dim.
Li Mengzhou's expression changed suddenly.
Qi Xiaoran was within a distance of three feet, and he was not affected at all, which made him a little surprised.
But then he seemed to understand something, and laughed bitterly at himself.
Although the superposition of Gu Shiyan's sword made their strength climb to a level that was very close to the peak of the Four Realms, he himself was still outside the threshold of the Four Realms after all, and Qi Xiaoran was a real peak powerhouse of the Four Realms, and the gap between the realms was so huge that the sword technique of the Three Feet of Autumn Water could not lock the opponent at all, so what impact would it have?
Even if you cast the strongest sword, you still can't beat it.
And in the current situation, it is likely to be fatal.
But the sword is out, and it will be difficult to take it back.
It's not that it can't be done, it's that time doesn't allow it.
In the face of Qi Xiaoran's sword, they could only resist hard.
The characteristics of the so-called three-foot autumn water, which is a sword technique, fell on Li Mengzhou's body instead.
He couldn't retract his sword in a short time, he could only block it horizontally, and the majestic sword qi bombarded him, like a mountain hitting him head-on at high speed, Li Mengzhou snorted, and his figure flew out upside down like an arrow from the string.
Accompanying him was Gu Shiyan, who also flew out upside down.
Fortunately, with Gu Shiyan by her side, they worked together to resist most of the forces, so that they would not die directly under this sword.
But the current situation was not good, the figure that flew out upside down smashed down, splashed dust, and blood spurted out as if it was deadly.
Qi Xiaoran still looked a little surprised, and said: "It's not dead, it seems that I underestimated you, so let's see how this sword is." ”
Without a sword to kill the two directly, Qi Xiaoran was a little faceless, his expression became colder, and a stronger sword was about to be cut off.
Although Li Mengzhou has a very strong physique, when the realm gap is too large, the strong physique is not enough for him to save his life, and even his spirit is a little sluggish.
Gu Shiyan is obviously stronger than Li Mengzhou's cultivation, but her ability to resist attacks is obviously weaker, and her injuries are even more serious than Li Mengzhou's, her little face has become pale and she has no strength to taunt anymore.
Li Mengzhou felt that he had taken a step behind.
I thought that even if I couldn't fight, I would at least be able to escape, but I didn't expect that not only could I not fight, but I couldn't even escape.
Sure enough, the so-called pride is unacceptable.
There should be pride, of course, but he overestimated himself a little.
This is a very serious problem.
However, Li Mengzhou didn't intend to give up just like that, since he was already destined to be unable to escape, he could only draw his sword and go forward.
