Chapter 19: The Messenger
The battlefield where the Tengyun Legion was stationed was in the northeast of the Elite City, close to the hinterland of the Four Elephant Mountains, and only fifty miles away from the Elite City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Shu Ye left the city, he moved forward as fast as he could, avoiding the view of the guards guarding the city, and sneaked into the valley, and he made a detour along the valley, avoiding the main road, but in less than half an hour, he was completely out of the confines of the city.
Seeing that he had completely avoided the patrol force of the warrior battalion, he couldn't help but turn back from the valley and run all the way towards the north of Sixiang SD.
Shu Ye walked along the main road until he was halfway through, and when he saw that he was about to walk out of the valley, he still did not encounter any obstacles, and he couldn't help but be stunned and a little surprised.
"It shouldn't be. He said secretly in his heart, "Brother Shen said that he sent three groups of people in a row, but they all went and never returned, which means that there must be an ambush on this road, why did I come all the way and didn't encounter any obstacles?"
"Is it ......," he thought, staring at the narrow valley exit ahead, "is it all hiding here waiting for me?"
The exit of the valley here is the last ambush site in the hinterland of Sixiang Mountain, out of here, the outside is a flat and wide official road, and there is no place to hide the sneak attack; and this exit is narrow inside and wide outside, there are dead corners on both sides, and the people who go out of the valley can not reach the mountain wall position on both sides of the valley mouth at all, it is the most suitable ambush position for this way.
Shu Ye knew in his heart that if there was an ambush on the road ahead, he would inevitably be in this position.
He was vigilant, and the closer he got to the exit, the slower his steps became, his long sword unsheathed, its blade tilted to the ground, ready for all the fights.
The mountain wind is strong and the cold is cold.
Shu Ye bit his lip, his eyes shining, and gradually approached the corner of the exit.
The fierce killing intent faintly came from the mountain wall behind the corner of the exit, Shu Ye's heart sank, and he instantly stopped five steps away from the corner, threw the sword scabbard in his hand in the air, and shouted: "Since you have been waiting for me here for a long time, you don't have to hide your head and tail, come out." ”
"The boy has a bit of guts. A deep voice came from the mountain wall behind the corner.
Then, five men with long knives appeared from behind the corner of the exit, blocking Shu Ye's path.
"Whether you notice us or not, coming here is a dead end. The five said with hideous faces.
Shu Ye looked at the five people silently, his right foot moved back three inches, the tip of the sword was condensed, the killing intent was condensed, and the whole person was ready to attack.
There are five opponents, three warriors of the fourth order, and two warriors of the fifth order, and their strength can be called strong.
Shu Ye is one against five, and the only way to crack it is to quickly kill the three people with the lowest strength at lightning speed, and then face off against the remaining two to avoid falling into a group attack situation, so that he has a slight chance of winning.
"Whether it's a dead end or not is not up to you. Shu Ye shouted coldly, "It's ......"
The power he gathered suddenly exploded, and his right foot kicked the ground, and the whole person jumped up like a jaguar, and instantly crossed a distance of five steps to the other party.
Without waiting for the other party to react, the blade of the sword in his palm flashed in the air, and it slashed straight along the throat of the person who was stunned first.
Shu Ye retreated with a blow, pulled away five steps again, exhaled a breath that had accumulated in his chest, and continued: "...... It's up to the sword in my hand to decide. ”
The man's eyes widened and he looked terrified, and his hands clutched his throat hard, but he still couldn't stop the surging blood from flowing out, and gradually fell to the ground.
The remaining four people looked at Shu Ye, who was five steps away, with awe-inspiring killing intent, and their hearts shook and they were surprised.
They gathered their minds, clenched their long knives, and no longer dared to have any contempt, glanced at each other, and quickly rushed towards Shu Ye.
The two people of the fourth order of the warrior rolled out close to the ground, the double knives were staggered, and the legs of Shu Ye were directly slashed, and the two bodies of the fifth order of the warrior jumped in the air, and the long knives slashed angrily in the air, with the momentum of thunder, slashing Shu Ye's left and right shoulders, but it was a four-way attack strategy.
Shu Ye guessed that if it weren't for the early death of the previous person, I am afraid that there would be an assassination technique in the middle of the chest and abdomen.
Five-way pinching attack, close cooperation, these five people came from an extremely unusual way, and the combined strength, even if a warrior is a sixth-order person, it is difficult to resist, no wonder Shen Lian sent several waves of people for several days in a row, but there was no return.
Shu Ye looked at the four of them awe, his right foot quickly turned in a semicircle on the ground, and his body was like a spiral, spinning and jumping, breaking away from the chain and slashing at his lower plate.
At the same time, his body was in the air, and the long sword was quickly sealed horizontally in his chest, and the two long knives that were slashed in the air with a 'clang' sound.
At the moment of dissolving the power of the long knife slash, Shu Ye took advantage of the situation, and the black sword cut an arc in the void, with rapid force, and with the moment his body brushed the gap between the blades of the two, he cut off the right arm of the two holding the knife.
Then, the moment his body hit the ground, he rushed forward violently, past the corner of the exit.
In the midst of blood and screams, he scumbled his sword on the ground, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when a killing intent like a needle in his vest suddenly swooped in.
Shu Ye's heart shook so much that he didn't have time to turn around, his body instantly fell to the ground, the black sword in his hand stabbed backwards with his backhand, his legs stared back hard, and he slid forward a foot away.
The pain in his back hit him, and he gritted his teeth and rolled over, quickly standing up, looking at the position where he had slipped earlier.
I saw a middle-aged man standing there with a long knife, staring at the blood stains on the blade in his hand with some regret: "I can't kill you like this, it seems that Shen Lian didn't put a lot of effort into running this trip to find you." ”
"Warrior Sixth Order!" Shu Ye was shocked in his heart, and his body was drenched in cold sweat.
He didn't expect that the final killing move had been hidden at the exit, and the attack of the five people was just to force themselves to the corner of the exit and enter the man's ambush position.
Shu Ye didn't expect that the slightest negligence in his heart almost cost him his life.
He bit his lip and touched his back with his backhand, but he saw that it was full of blood, and the middle-aged man's knife, although it did not hurt his bones, had greatly reduced his combat strength.
Fortunately, the only thing that made him happy was that the five people who attacked him before were now only the weakest two who could still fight, and they did not pose any threat to him.
Shu Ye took a deep breath, calmed his mind, tried his best to forget the pain behind him, immersed his body and mind in swordsmanship, and excavated his strength to the extreme.
The cold wind howled, cold as a knife.
Shu Ye poured all his strength into the black sword, only to see the blade tremble and hum, he held the sword in both hands, staring straight into the void, and his breathing became extremely heavy.
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, slashed a knife from a zhang away, his body turned into thunder and lightning, and slashed at Shu Ye's chest with all his strength.
The long knife tore through the void, but in an instant, it slashed into three feet in front of Shu Ye's body, and in just a moment, it could split his heart and kill him under the knife.
At this time, a trace of fear suddenly flashed in the middle-aged man's heart, and the breath of death emerged from his heart for no reason.
He was stunned for a moment, trying to concentrate on the slightest feeling.
Shu Ye, who was still under Ling Li's knife, suddenly moved.
The long sword in his hand was like a light and shadow, stabbing straight out, incredibly fast, and at the same time, he leaned slightly, let go of the stabbing long sword, dodged the slashing long knife, and staggered past the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man saw a black line pass through his chest, and before he could react, the tearing pain instantly swept through his body.
"This, this ......" he looked at Shu Ye with frightened eyes.
I saw that he had already caught the black sword that pierced his chest, slashed through the air, and killed the remaining four people who were stunned.
"You...... You ......" The middle-aged man clutched his bloody chest, knelt on the ground, and stared at Shu Ye in disbelief, "You...... You can't have that kind of strength and speed......"
"Nothing is impossible in the world. Shu Ye looked at him coldly, "Despise the enemy, there will always be a price." ”
"This, this...... No way. The man stared and fell to the ground, dead and blind.
Shu Ye saw that he had completely lost his breath of life, and his mind couldn't help but slowly relax, and he collapsed to the ground weakly, and his face became extremely pale.
This sword is the most domineering sword in the 'Kunlun Swordsmanship', called 'Jade Shatter', and its sword meaning is to fuse all your energy between one sword and make a fatal blow far beyond your own strength.
After this sword, the strength of the body will be completely hollowed out, and for a short time, there will be no resistance.
This is a sword that sacrifices his life, because once this move is made, if he can't kill the enemy under the sword, he can only close his eyes and wait for death, so it is called 'jade shattered'.
Shu Ye's chest rose and fell sharply, his eyes were open, and he looked at the void sky weakly, and he couldn't help but secretly say that he was lucky.
After he was injured, his strength had been greatly reduced, and this 'jade shattering' style made it extremely reluctant, if it weren't for the other party's carelessness, he would not have left any backhand with a slash in the air, and he would not have succeeded with a sword.
The cold wind whistled by, freezing to the bone.
Shu Ye lay motionless on the ground, and it was not until an hour later that he regained a little strength, got up with difficulty, tore off a piece of clean clothes from the middle-aged man's body, bandaged his wounds, and then slowly walked towards the battlefield where the Tengyun Legion was stationed.
