Chapter 12: Identity Exposed
In the northwestern state, the land is barren and the vegetation is not abundant, only the strong poplar tree, which is a rare thick and robust species in this land. At this time, it is already golden autumn, and the whole poplar forest seems to be dyed with a strong golden color like an oil painting, showing an unusually moving beauty. In the poplar forest, looking at every leaf is gilded with gold, as if a round of sun has been hung on every branch, it looks so gorgeous and dazzling.
In the midst of this magnificent golden beauty, a bloody massacre is going on.
This was indeed a massacre, holding the butcher's knife was Li Jingxuan and Lingyun, two young men and women who were less than forty years old combined, and the slaughter was the eight men who looked like distant traveling merchants who were originally staying in the poplar forest.
Jinzun Fort is a city of commerce and trade, there are many men in the city, and there are many traveling merchants. Eight traveling merchants, naturally there is nothing unusual.
Two to eight people, it was still a massacre. This is of course because the kung fu of the two is far above these eight people, but more importantly, Li Jingxuan and Lingyun had been observing the treetops for a long time before they started, and they splashed a suffocation that could make people unconscious in advance.
With the power of crisp numbness, although all of these eight people underground have the level of forging four layers and react extremely quickly, they are inevitably weak in their hands and feet, and their strength is weak.
This is an objective fact of existence, an existence that is not subject to human will.
A golden leaf slides down leisurely, reflecting the afterglow of the sunset, showing the last splendor of life.
However, a cyan sword light burst out with an even more dazzling light, suppressing its brilliance. The blue light pierced it, and the vitality attached to it turned it into powder in the following moments.
Under the red afterglow of the sunset, this cyan jade-like ray, like a swimming dragon, swept past the necks of the three sword-wielding men, bringing a touch of warm red.
The wind is still blowing among the poplar forests.
After a breeze, the three fell straight down between the mottled shade of the trees, their six eyes staring at the sky, still dead.
Smart, elegant, beautiful, ruthless - this is Lingyun's hands-on posture. Her agile body style makes her as unpredictable as an elf, and the understanding of the human body brought by studying medicine allows her to easily hit the opponent's vital point and end the opponent's life after seeing through the opponent's flaws.
"It's really a way of fighting as precise as a surgery!" this is a comment that Li Jingxuan gave her after watching her senior sister fight with others.
At this time, the magic sword was held by Lingyun in his hand. Her sword was long unsheathed, and after slitting the throats of three bastards, she pounced on the other one for a fierce look.
Lingyun is in full swing here. Li Jingxuan over there is not much worse than her. He had no sword, so he simply broke a poplar branch the thickness of a child's arm, and without removing the golden branches and leaves from it, he swept the branches and crowns towards the enemy in front of him.
The branches of poplar are crooked and do not form a straight line, so it is naturally impossible to use them as a spear to poke directly. According to its shape and weight, Li Jingxuan used such a heavy branch as a knife, and it was also the thickest and most powerful horse chopping knife among the knives.
The knife is a sharp weapon for the decisive battle. Li Jingxuan is not a martial artist, he has never been on the battlefield, but he has only seen the momentum of the battlefield. He was in the Immortal Sect, and most of the kung fu he learned was in the sword. At this time, without a sword, let him use this crooked poplar branch to play any exquisite knife moves, but he couldn't do it.
What to do?
As a time-traveler with an otherworldly soul, Li Jingxuan doesn't know how to use swordsmanship, but he still understands the tricks he uses. He can't use subtle knife moves, but he can still rely on the tricks of the eight methods in the knife to use some simple and practical methods.
What's more, he knew that making a sword was different from making a sword, it didn't need so much calmness, it didn't need so many changes, all it needed was a tragic momentum to move forward and a resolute decision.
Turning his mind back to the battlefield he saw three years ago, and realizing the blood from the killing array with his heart, Li Jingxuan's vitality boiled, he held the soldiers in one hand, and sank violently with countless poplar branches, but he slashed towards the enemy he was facing.
......The thick, crooked branches of the tree lined the air in front of it, and slammed into the man's head with the whistling sound of the branches and leaves.
"It's just a twig, how can you compare to my steel knife. Watch me the Raptor Sand Sky Tyrant break you. The man opposite Li Jingxuan roared angrily, stretched out the steel knife in his hand, and quickly rushed forward.
Suddenly, dozens of sharp edges burst into Li Jingxuan's poplar branch crown, cutting the details of the side branches on his poplar branches into pieces.
The side branches of the poplar branches turned into a rain of golden leaves in the sky with the blue light of the other party. Although Li Jingxuan's vitality is strong, after all, he has not stepped into the Qi Induction Realm and has innate cultivation. Under his wielding, the strength was only retained on the main trunk of the poplar branch, and he could not scruple about the side of the poplar branch.
The weight of the poplar branches in his hand was constantly decreasing, apparently because the thick branches were crushed. In the falling rain with flying branches and leaves, the sword light of Sha Tianba surged like the yellow sand rolled up in the desert.
Facing the sharp knife shadow, Li Jingxuan didn't even have the slightest idea of retreating. He never flinched, nor did he change the trajectory of the "wooden knife" in his hand, and it still went straight ahead, and it was in Sha Tianba's head in an instant.
When the wind arrives and the shadow arrives, Sha Tianba can naturally feel the majesty of this knife. Seeing that his steel knife could not force the opponent to defend, he had to take a step back helplessly, intending to avoid the blow before making plans.
However, his retreat undoubtedly violated the general trend of the sword path to advance bravely and move forward.
At this moment, there was already an imperceptible fear in his heart.
At this moment, he stepped back and looked left and right at his companion. His face was once again filled with a hint of smugness after seeing two of his accomplices swing their steel knives at the man from his left and right sides.
"This time, you have to take the move and defend it. Your sword is very powerful, but there are too few changes. Sha Tianba thought so with his own life.
"There are still enemies attacking left and right!?" What Sha Tianba saw with his afterglow, Li Jingxuan also discovered this by relying on the Yuan Qi induction that he had spread.
What to do?
Li Jingxuan did not retreat, but twisted his waist, turned around, exerted force, and slashed the poplar branches that were about to fall, but when the left and right were about to attack three feet in front of him, he swept them.
At this moment, the poplar branch brought a whirlwind by Li Jingxuan's side.
This whirlwind, however, slammed a huge force into their bodies in the frightened and inexplicable eyes of the two.
Under Li Jingxuan's vitality, the thick poplar trunk is not afraid of thousands of catties of momentum. Such a violent and tyrannical force smashed on their bodies, and immediately swept them two or three feet away, and they fell to the ground on their backs spitting blood, and their chests were obviously concave, and it was obvious that their ribs were broken and several punctured their chests and lungs, and they coughed incessantly, and directly lost their combat effectiveness.
"This ...... Isn't he one-armed? Why is he so violent?" Sha Tianba was immediately disillusioned when he saw this scene, and the steel knife in his hand was almost impossible to grasp.
At this time, Li Jingxuan turned around, the poplar branch in his hand burst forward, and the new stubble that had been stumped off by Sha Tianba suddenly slid through the air, and a straight pale yellow shadow slid through the air, poking Sha Tianba's face.
This spur, with the evil aura of the two of them, directly shocked Sha Tianba.
Sha Tianba was stunned for a moment, and was immediately broken through his head by this poke, and he didn't even have time to say a word, so he directly broke his brain and died. Bai Huahua's brains and red blood spurted out from the gap in his head, and red and white spots splashed on Li Jingxuan's poplar branches.
"It's really dirty......" Li Jingxuan looked at this scene, discarded the poplar branch that was still inserted in Sha Tianba's head, spat lightly, and immediately turned around and ran towards the man who was as short as a mouse and had an obscene face.
At this time, of the eight people in the poplar forest, Li Jingxuan's senior sister Lingyun had already solved four, and Li Jingxuan herself had also solved three. All that's left is the guy with the slewd face.
This guy was a little far away from Lingyun and slightly closer to Li Jingxuan. Since Li Jingxuan has dealt with his opponent, he naturally wants to take him down at the next moment.
However, this guy is a very eye-catching, he felt bad at the first moment when the crisp hemp spread, and he quickly realized the strength of the comer at the moment when Li Jingxuan and Lingyun slaughtered. Fang Cai Sha Tianba and the others swung their knives forward to besiege Li Jingxuan, but instead of joining in to help his accomplices, he moved his body slightly and prepared to run. If it weren't for Li Jingxuan's three tricks to solve the three people cleanly, I am afraid that he would have run dozens of feet away by now.
Now, he is not as far away as Li Jingxuan, but there is also a distance of more than ten zhang between them.
At this distance, he was still running, and Li Jingxuan seemed to have to spend some means to catch him.
At that moment, in order to catch up with him, Li Jingxuan stepped lightly, his vitality exploded in his legs, and his speed suddenly increased a lot. He leaped forward, carrying a yellow saloon behind him.
Although the guy with an obscene face ran early and was quite fast, he and Li Jingxuan's pursuit at this time must be nothing.
After only two or three breaths, Li Jingxuan had already chased after him.
At this moment, Li Jingxuan concentrated, meditated, and inhaled. He leaped forward with his left foot, swung his right hand back slightly, and threw his left sleeve out like a soft whip.
A strong force hit him on the back heavily, staggering this obscene-looking guy, unable to lift a breath of vitality in his chest, and his body became weak, and he fell directly on the wasteland, falling a dog eating.
Seeing that he was knocked down, Li Jingxuan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to connect the dots on him, making a method to block the Yuan Qi and seal the Yuan Qi on his body. Then, he carried his thin body back to Lingyun's side.
At this time, Lingyun had already been swept down by Li Jingxuan's two guys who were injured.
She was a little puzzled when she saw that Li Jingxuan came back with a live mouth in one hand: "Senior brother, you just kill him directly, what are you doing with him back?"
"Senior sister, these people must have moved more than one way, I have to ask them what they are arranged. As we go southeast, we will most likely continue to run into their accomplices. Li Jingxuan shook the guy to the ground, turned his body with his foot, stepped on his chest and explained to Lingyun.
"Then you should ask. Lingyun grew up in Shangqingshan since she was a child, and she didn't know these twists and turns, she heard Li Jingxuan say this, and after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was reasonable, so she nodded and agreed.
"Then I'll start ...... But Senior Sister, please lend me the sword. Li Jingxuan smiled faintly, thought about it, and made such a request like his senior sister.
"Okay!" Ling Yun didn't object to this, and directly handed the magic sword in his hand to Li Jingxuan.
Li Jingxuan took the long sword, took Qing Feng out of the scabbard, lifted the body of the person on the ground, let the sharp blade directly touch his obscene face, and asked in a cold voice: "Tell me, how many waves of people have been sent by your Ancestral Spirit Hall to spread rumors this time, who are the leaders, and what do they look like?"
"Hmph......" The man snorted coldly, don't look around, it seems that he still wants to pretend to be a hero.
However, where is this hero so good. Seeing that he didn't answer, Li Jingxuan immediately shook his long sword, and the sharp blade slid directly to the side of his cheek.
At this moment, he only felt a chill on the side of his face, a pain at the base of his ear, and then he felt a warm liquid leave from his cheek, and then a sharp pain filled his head.
This time, he was in a trance, and after the trance, there was a fiery clarity and hatred and fear from the bottom of his heart. His head was lowered, but he secretly swore in his heart: "Good boy, you dare to do this to Lao Tzu." You two remnants of the Immortal Sect, do you think that Lao Tzu can't see it? Just now, your method of sealing my vitality is clearly the secret of the Immortal Sect -- the Immortal Lock Yuan Decision. Unexpectedly, under the thunderstorm of ten thousand thunders, there were still people in the Immortal Sect who could survive. Damn, if you don't kill me this time, I'm going to report the news. Yes...... You just wait for my ancestral spirit hall to hunt you down. ”
The man gritted his teeth in his heart, but after gritting his teeth, he still raised his head, and the expression on his face suddenly changed, but he looked a little humble.
"That...... There are so many people we send to various places that I don't recognize them myself. He replied with a smile.
"Hmph......" Li Jingxuan snorted coldly, and the sword in his hand shook again, but he cut off one of his little fingers.
"Pick the key point!" Li Jingxuan opened his mouth coldly: "If you say such nonsense again, I want to see how many things you have for me to cut." ”
"Ah...... Yes!" he didn't dare to hesitate at the moment, and he had to answer Li Jingxuan's question immediately.
But just then, Ling Yun's burst interrupted his speech: "Who...... Who's there!"
Before Lingyun's words fell, her slender hand had already been raised, and three flying needles that she had held in her hand at some point shot out with the light lifting of her hand, straight to the treetop of the poplar tree three zhang away.
The next moment, I heard a delicate cry, and saw a petite body fall from the tree and fall to the ground heavily.
"Anyone else?" Li Jingxuan felt a thrill in his heart, he glanced at Lingyun and stepped forward to take a look.
But they saw that the person who fell from the tree was not the side, it was the eldest lady of the Liuyun Sword Sect they had just met today, Yun Qianxiu.
Yun Qianxiu's appearance was too abrupt, making Li Jingxuan and Lingyun suspicious. Li Jingxuan immediately walked in front of Yun Qianxiu, pointed at the little girl with a bloody sword blade and asked coldly, "Why are you there? Could it be that you and the Ancestral Spirit Hall are also in the same group." ”
"What...... I don't know what the Ancestral Spirit Hall is. Yun Qianxiu fanned her eyes pitifully, and her face was full of frightened looks.
The scene of Li Jingxuan and Lingyun killing fiercely undoubtedly fell into her eyes. Now she knows what a pair of "vicious" characters these two seemingly weak and gentle senior sisters and brothers are. She looked at Li Jingxuan's Qing Feng, who was still dripping blood, lest this sharp sword would also hit her body once or twice, cutting off some parts of her body, and immediately stammered and explained.
"People saw you in the horse market...... Seeing you sneaking along with those people, it seems a little weird. People were curious, so they followed. Unexpectedly, I saw this scene...... You...... You guys are so cruel. The more Yun Qianxiu spoke, the more frightened she became, and finally her mouth flattened, and she immediately burst into tears: "Wow...... Don't kill me!"
"Alas...... What should I do?" looked at Yun Qianxiu, whose face was covered with tears, Li Jingxuan naturally understood that what she said was the truth. It's just that she is crying so sadly now, but it makes Li Jingxuan completely ruined. He asked his senior sister as if he was helping.
"You go and interrogate that person...... I'm here to persuade her. Lingyun knew that her junior brother was no longer able to, so she took over the trouble immediately.
"Okay!" Li Jingxuan nodded, turned around and was about to take a step, but suddenly stopped.
He couldn't help but stop, because the obscene man didn't know when he broke free from his vitality lock and fled far away.
And around him at this time, several powerful vitality suddenly appeared, and they locked on themselves very hostilely.
"And the enemy?" Li Jingxuan stopped, watching his target run farther and farther, and the grievance in his heart was not mentioned.
At this moment, he had no way to pursue the other party. Because those powerful vitality have blocked his way in a targeted manner.
"Anyone else will come out. Li Jingxuan raised his voice and shouted.
At this moment, he raised the sword in his hand, took a step back with the horizontal sword in his chest, and covered Lingyun and Yun Qianxiu with his own figure, looking around very vigilantly.
"Alas...... Brother Li, I thought that your senior sister and brother were famous and decent people, and I wanted to make friends with you. But I don't want you to be so ruthless and kill innocents. Now, it even hurt my little sister...... Brother Li, you are really-" A familiar word sounded not far in front of Li Jingxuan, and a figure in a white robe with a long sword on his back walked from behind a tall poplar tree, but it was the Jianghu Junjie that Li Jingxuan had only met at noon, Yun Qianxiu's senior brother Luo Xiaoran.
Moreover, this Luo Xiaoran did not come alone. Behind him, there were three or four middle-aged swordsmen.
Li Jingxuan watched them slowly walk towards him, surrounded himself, and felt the calm breath of vitality emanating from them, but sighed slightly in his heart: "The master of the Qi Induction Realm-this is the elder of the Liuyun Sword Sect who came to the northwest this time? Liuyun Sword Sect, you really did bad things with good intentions. ”
He looked up in the direction where the figure had fled, and found that the man had run away, and his heart sank.
