Chapter 101: The Sword in the Northern Yan Sword House
Xiao Zhinan held the sword in his hand, took steps, and slowly walked forward.
Looking at this scene, Zhu Zaitian was silent.
Then the anger squeezed into his chest, very suffocating, this was by no means the first time Li Mengzhou had ignored him.
He couldn't figure it out.
What's even more resentful is that there is always a girl standing next to Li Mengzhou, and she is willing to draw a sword for him.
He didn't know Xiao Zhinan, and he didn't know the strength of this girl.
But he knew it wasn't going to be that simple.
Although he has not been in contact with Li Mengzhou for a long time, he also knows a little about it, and the other party will not be untargeted, even if it seems inexplicable on the surface, it has its own deep meaning, such as Li Mengzhou's decisive move to give up Gu Shiyan in Chaosi Lane, also because of a follow-up plan.
Now that Li Mengzhou can't choose a sword, but pushes Xiao Zhinan out, it is foreseeable that this girl must not be a simple person.
Zhu Zaitian is actually very smart, otherwise he would not be able to do the position of Xuanzheng Si Lang, the previous confrontation was just because he underestimated Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan too much, and in the case of a blow to his self-esteem, it seemed a little messy, if he calmed down and thought about it carefully, it was very unnecessary.
And now he is hiding from Xu Hexian and persuading another squire to try to kill Li Mengzhou, not completely unwilling, but he feels that Li Mengzhou is not in the capital, which is a good opportunity to kill him unconsciously.
He didn't think he should let go of this opportunity.
Because of Li Mengzhou's matter, his performance has disappointed Xu Hexian, even if Xu Hexian didn't remind him of this from time to time, but Zhu Zaitian was under a lot of pressure, and if he couldn't solve this matter, he felt that it would be difficult for him to support it.
As Xiao Zhinan slowly approached step by step.
There seems to be a subtle change between heaven and earth.
It's heavy.
It's depressing.
Those armor soldiers of the three realms in the Xuanzheng Division, although they were dressed in civilian clothes, they also felt in a trance that they seemed to be wearing very heavy armor, their legs trembled, and it was difficult to stand steadily.
The clanging sound is endless.
It was the sound of knives in their hands falling to the ground.
Zhu Zaitian took a deep breath, how similar this scene was to the scene outside the courtyard of Chaosi Lane, when facing Gu Shiyan who was about to draw his sword, the feeling of depression made him almost unable to hold the knife, although he did not hold the knife himself, but the terrifying palpitations were better than before.
If he was only reasonably suspicious at the beginning, then at this moment, he knew very well that Xiao Zhinan was indeed not a simple character.
It was just the dispersion of momentum, which made him, a dignified Xuanzheng Si Lang who had cultivated in the Four Realms, unable to raise the belief in fighting, and it was difficult to imagine how huge the gap between the two would be.
But he was a little glad that he didn't come alone.
Although Wang Zhong is not the strongest among the many squires of the Xuanzheng Division, he is definitely in the forefront, most of these squires are in the stage of the lower grade of the Four Realms, and only a few of them are in the upper grade of the Four Realms, and Wang Zhong is one of them.
Zhu Zaitian has always been friendly with Wang Zhong, and wanted to intercept and kill Li Mengzhou outside the capital without telling Xu Hexian, but he only asked Wang Zhong for help, and Wang Zhong did not hesitate too much, so he agreed.
In Zhu Zaitian's thoughts, Wang Zhong's solitary confrontation with Gu Shiyan would be the result of an equal match, so against the strange and powerful girl in front of him, even if he was defeated, he would not be defeated too quickly, and during this period, it was enough for him to kill Li Mengzhou several times.
So although he was very palpitating in the face of Xiao Zhinan's momentum, he had not yet reached the point of panic.
Wang Zhong's figure is very burly, holding a wide-backed big knife, which has explosive power, and he also knows very well in his heart that the key to this battle is on Xiao Zhinan's body.
Without hesitation, he also picked up his knife and walked towards Xiao Zhinan.
Zhu Zaitian watched silently, and for some reason, he always had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
It was a little chilly at night.
The official road is very empty.
You can even faintly hear the sound of those pounding heartbeats.
Li Mengzhou carried the black green sword on his back, lowered his head, and walked forward from the side of the official road.
Zhu Zaitian frowned, tried his best to make his voice steady, blocked Li Mengzhou's way, and said, "I don't seem to have told Mr. Xiao Li that you can leave here." ”
Li Mengzhou raised his eyes to look at him and said, "I'm going to the capital for a banquet, and if I promise someone else's things, I will do it, and I ask you to move to the side a little." ”
Zhu Zaitian shook his head and said: "Those teenagers have already started to climb the stairs, even if you rush over now, it will be too late, although the Panlong Banquet does not stipulate the time of arrival, but this itself is also understood by the potential, such an important event, who do you think will take a second look at the little people who are late?"
Li Mengzhou said: "Since this kind of rule is not explicitly stated, then I am a little late, it is not a violation, although I don't know what is going on on the stairs, but there should be some problems waiting for me, I just need to climb up as fast as possible." ”
Zhu Zaitian said: "What you say is really casual, the five floors of the Panlong Banquet, except for the lowest and highest floors, each floor is guarded by cultivators with different numbers and realms, even if you have the ability to climb the building, but if you don't have the help of your fellow disciples, you can be tired to death." ”
Li Mengzhou said calmly: "This is something I need to consider, so I don't bother Zhu Shilang to worry." ”
Zhu Zaitian said coldly: "I just saw that you are a disciple of the inner courtyard of the palace, and you have dealt with you many times, so I told you more, do you really think that I will watch you return to the capital? What kind of situation is now, it should not be difficult to imagine, right? Your chance to climb the stairs is ruined, why bother thinking about how to go upstairs, there is no meaning." ”
Li Mengzhou was silent for a moment.
His right hand was raised slightly, and he quickly lowered it again.
Because Zhu Zaitian drew his sword, it seemed a little unworthy.
He didn't know what would happen at the Dragon Banquet, but Zhu Zaitian could catch a very useful clue in his simple words.
If he wants to climb the stairs, he will inevitably be left behind by those who have already begun to climb the stairs.
If you want to catch up, you need to speed up.
He can't break his fullest state at the moment for no reason because of Zhu Zaitian.
But if he didn't draw his sword, Zhu Zaitian would be a high wall that was difficult to cross.
Although Zhu Zaitian is only a cultivator of the lower grade of the Four Realms, after all, he has been promoted to this realm for many years, and he is far stronger than the ordinary lower grade monks of the Four Realms, Li Mengzhou does not have enough confidence to defeat Zhu Zaitian without drawing his sword.
Just when he was a little distressed thinking about how to deal with it.
Boom!
A sudden muffled sound resounded on the official road, causing the night birds to fly away in flocks.
......
The night is deep.
Starlight, brighter and brighter.
Wang Zhong looked at Xiao Zhinan with a knife, and there was more or less a bit of brilliance in his eyes.
Xiao Zhinan's beauty seems very noble, belonging to the kind of beauty that should not exist in the world that can only be viewed from a distance, this kind of beauty, it is difficult for people to have dirty thoughts in their hearts, it seems that it is just a small thought, which is the biggest blasphemy against her.
Wang Zhong is not a hungry ghost, his eyes quickly returned to clarity, thinking that Xiao Zhinan is by no means an ordinary monk, if he is a little careless, he is likely to capsize in the gutter, he tried his best to calm his emotions, and said: "This matter has nothing to do with the girl, if you can stand by and watch, after Zhu Zaitian kills Li Mengzhou, I will let you go." ”
Xiao Zhinan said calmly: "You seem to have a lot of confidence in yourself?"
Wang Zhong thought that although the other party might be a difficult opponent, it would not make him afraid, he had followed Xu Hexian to 'fight in the south and in the north', and had experienced many bloody incidents, no matter what kind of character he was, in the face of Xuan Zhengsi, he was just a paper tiger.
"As a practitioner, if you lose faith in yourself, you are a mere waste. ”
Wang Zhong said with a solemn face: "I know that the girl is very strong, but I have never fought, everything is unknown, if the girl insists on going her own way, if she wants to help Li Mengzhou, she can only draw a knife against each other, and destroy the flowers with her hot hands." ”
Xiao Zhinan said indifferently: "Yes." ”
Her feet slowly hung in the air, and the soles of her feet seemed to be swirled with mist, and the cold light on the last flower sword flashed, but the light seemed to illuminate the whole night.
In that short moment, the sharp sword light pierced the night, like a meteor running through the entire world.
Wang Zhong looked at the sword blade incredulously, he wanted to retreat, but his legs were like lead, he couldn't move a bit, he swallowed his saliva with great difficulty, and said with astringent nervousness in his mouth: "Who is the girl?"
Xiao Zhinan looked at him calmly and said, "Aren't you very confident in yourself." ”
Wang Zhong smiled bitterly, "Of course I am very confident, but I never thought that the girl was so strong." ”
Xiao Zhinan said, "Where's your knife?"
Wang Zhong was silent.
The hand holding the knife tightened and tightened.
The blade of the sword that pierced the night stayed three feet between Wang Zhong's eyebrows.
The cold is coming.
He couldn't help but shudder.
Looking at Xiao Zhinan's calm and beautiful face, Wang Zhong gritted his teeth, leaned forward slightly, and pounced out like a sharp arrow without warning.
Avoiding the blade of the sword, it was like a tiger fighting a rabbit, and slashed at Xiao Zhinan with a strong sword.
The sound of a beast's muffled roar came from his throat.
The snapping of the blade through the air was piercing.
Facing this scene, Xiao Zhinan's expression was still calm, and he said lightly: "It's a very good momentum, but for me, it's still too weak, so I have to ask you to die." ”
At the moment when the words fell, Wang Zhong's knife was also on his way.
But Xiao Zhinan also made a move at the same time.
A trace of killing intent appeared in her somewhat indifferent eyes, and then she waved her hand lightly, and the blade of the sword suddenly appeared behind Wang Zhong, and there was a soft crack, like the sound of something cracking, scarlet blood sprayed on the official road, staining the grass red, and the figure running quickly fell forward, smashing on the ground, making a muffled sound.
Li Mengzhou looked back.
Xiao Zhinan held the sword, his suspended body slowly fell, and a wind came out from the soles of his feet, blowing away the endless dust.
Zhu Zaitian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at the figure that fell at Xiao Zhinan's feet with a pale face, the clear sword marks on his back, blood flowing, his eyes widened, a few mouthfuls of blood foam came out of his mouth, and his eyes gradually lost color.
"Wang Zhong......!"
This picture gave Zhu Zaitian a great shock.
He thought it wasn't supposed to end like this.
Wang Zhong is a real high-grade powerhouse in the four realms, and among all the servants of the Xuanzheng Division, he can also rank in the top three.
Zhu Zaitian's expectation that Wang Zhong would be undefeated even in the face of Ancient Shiyan, and the two were in the same realm, but Wang Zhong had more combat experience, which was a result that could not be easily reversed.
But what Wang Zhong faced was not Gu Shiyan after all, but the rare kendo wizard of Beiyan Sword Lu, Xiao Zhinan.
Zhu Zaitian didn't know this, so he felt more and more incredible.
The fear spread again, this time with great strength.
Li Mengzhou silently looked at Wang Zhong's corpse, as if relieved, and said to Xiao Zhinan: "Originally, I was still thinking about how to walk past Zhu Zaitian without using a sword, but now it seems that this problem has been solved." ”
