Chapter 4 Half-step stargazing!
Murder can indeed destroy evidence completely. Sometimes, however, for some people, the evidence doesn't really matter.
Wei Yongxin knew very well what was at stake, so he stood on the edge of the Lingjiang River, took the most elite guards of the Wei family, and confronted Zhang Ye without retreating.
"Second Master Wei, are you provoking my Zhang family?" Holding the horsewhip between his fingers, Zhang Ye's hand was extraordinarily powerful, and the rich killing intent was permeated in the dim darkness of the night, the sword was unsheathed, the bow and arrow were wound, and the battle was about to break out.
"Zhang Gongzi said with a smile, my Miss Wei family was kidnapped, and I came just to make sure I didn't hurt her. Without blinking his eyes, Wei Yongxin said lightly.
"Joke, your Wei family's daughter Jin Gui, could it be that my Zhang family's children deserve to die?" Not giving an inch, Zhang Ye said solemnly, "I am the second brother of Yin'er, today, no one can stop me from avenging him, if the Wei family dares to interfere, it will be the enemy of my Zhang family, and it will not die!"
Such a naked threat has completely demonstrated the attitude of the Zhang family, and according to Zhang Ye's inference, the Wei family will never dare to stop it now.
However, after all, he still underestimated Wei Yongxin's determination and courage.
"Zhang Gongzi is threatening me?" Raising his eyebrows slightly, Wei Yongxin waved his hand violently, and the guards behind him suddenly showed a strong crossbow, locking on the Zhang family, "Now my Wei family may not be the opponent of the Zhang family, but I guarantee that the Wei family has no one who is afraid of death, even if the jade is burned." ”
What Wei Yongxin said was categorical, and with the dozens of strong crossbows, it pushed this momentum of fighting to the death to the peak.
His pupils shrank suddenly, and Zhang Ye's heart couldn't help but tremble fiercely. That's right, now the Wei family is in decline, but the tiger is still there. What's more, although the tiger of the Wei family is sick and old, it has not died after all. The most important thing is that in this situation, if Wei Yongxin is really ruthless, Zhang Ye is definitely not an opponent.
It's just that it's still hard for him to understand what gave Wei Yongxin such a strong confidence and courage.
Even if he dies here today, once a full-scale war starts, the Wei family still has only one way to be destroyed, Wei Yongxin, why dare to argue with him so without scruples?
After weighing it again and again, Zhang Ye finally sneered, "The second master of the Wei family really lives up to his reputation." ”
With a wave of his hand, the guards of the Zhang family withdrew their blades at the same time, Zhang Ye didn't seem to see the threat of those strong crossbows at all, and said calmly, "Serve wine, I want to have a few drinks with Second Master Wei." ”
Hearing this, Wei Yongxin's heart sank slightly, but he still didn't say anything against it after all.
The Zhang family must have sent more than Zhang Ye all the way, although he stopped Zhang Ye, he was also dragged by Zhang Ye. However, now he can only go so far. The rest can only bet on Wei Yuan that they can get rid of the Zhang family's pursuit. Even if you do this, you are already taking a huge risk.
The liquor entered his throat, but Wei Yongxin couldn't taste anything at all
Night slowly fell, and only a few stars twinkled in the night sky after the rain.
The surroundings are dark and extremely blurry, and the surrounding environment can hardly be seen clearly, only the sound of the river flowing continuously, which clearly proves that this is already the Lingjiang River.
A small boat sits across the reeds by the river.
The carriage is parked on the shore, and the boat is only a few tens of meters away, as long as you step on the boat, you can cross the Lingjiang River to Jingzhou, success is in sight, however, at this moment, this short distance of dozens of meters is like a moat.
By a little starlight, I could faintly see an old man standing on the shore, with his back to the direction of the carriage and holding a knife in his hand. The knife was unsheathed, but it was as heavy as a mountain, and it felt as if even breathing had been stagnant.
"Miss Wei, the old slave has been waiting here for a long time, the weather is cold, let's go back with the old slave. ”
The old man's voice was a little hoarse, and it seemed to carry a magic that could not be refused, making it difficult for people to have the courage to resist.
In an instant, Wei Yuan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and he opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything.
Ignoring Wei Yuan's bitterness, Jiang Chu's eyes were still calm, and the hand holding the bamboo sword did not tremble at all, crossed Wei Yuan's body, stepped forward, and raised his head quietly.
"Young man, if you really have a little courage, no wonder Miss Wei dares to take such a risk. Nodding approvingly, the old man said softly, "It's a pity, you don't have star power on your body." ”
A simple sentence, but almost shattered the last bit of hope in Wei Yuan's heart, no matter how exquisite the swordsmanship is, it can't change the fact that there is no star power after all, if other people may also have the strength to fight, but Wei Yuan knows the strength of the other party better than anyone else, although because of qualifications, he can't step into the Star Condensing Realm after all, but, after a lifetime of cultivating star power, now the old man already has the strength of half a step to Ning Xing.
As if to confirm Wei Yuan's thoughts, the next moment, a pale blue starlight appeared on the old man's hand, although it was faint, but it was indeed real.
The release of star power can theoretically only be done by a strong person who has stepped into the Star Condensing Realm, however, the old man can temporarily release it during the battle with his profound accumulation, which will make the combat power soar exponentially, although it is far less than the strong person who has stepped into the Star Condensing Realm, but it is definitely not something that ordinary people can compete with.
Jiang Chu didn't answer, and even the expression on his face didn't change in the slightest.
The bamboo sword breaks through the air, fast as lightning!
The fast sword is far faster than when Jiang Chu and Zhang Yin were fighting, before a breath, Jiang Chu slashed out seventeen swords, and each sword was accurately pointed at the opponent's vital point, from the surface, in an instant, Jiang Chu danced a ball of light and shadow, under this dim night, weird and terrifying.
"Buzz!"
His eyes narrowed cautiously together, the old man's wrist flicked, and the knife in his hand suddenly came out of the sheath, and a knife slashed horizontally, and a faint starlight attached to the blade, breaking through the sword shadow with one sword.
Different from Jiang Chu's fast sword, the old man only made one knife from beginning to end, in terms of subtlety, this knife is far inferior to Jiang Chu's fast sword, but it is this unfettered sword that breaks the sword shadow just right, so that all Jiang Chu's attacks fall into the void.
"As I said, without star power, you're just an ordinary person after all. Staring at Jiang Chu unhurriedly, the old man took a step forward, the blade was raised, and the killing machine appeared.
The bamboo sword was cut off by an inch, which was also the fundamental reason why all of Jiang Chu's attacks failed, and at close range, the old man's speed of the knife was also extremely fast, even if he didn't have any skills, he could easily deal with Jiang Chu's attack.
did not give Jiang Chu time to think, a knife was successful, the old man did not hesitate at all, he stepped on it suddenly, the sword was like practice, and he cut it down ruthlessly, without caring about Jiang Chu's obstruction, the knife opened and closed widely, and it was unreasonable.
If it is a normal battle, as long as the tip of the sword is slightly raised, the blade can be blocked, but now, once the bamboo sword intersects with the opponent's blade, the only possibility is that the bamboo sword is cut off again, and there is no way to stop the opponent at all. Even if it is not a bamboo sword, but a sharp sword, it will not change this ending, and a touch of pale blue starlight on the blade is enough to break through all obstacles.
This is where the old man's confidence lies, one force to ten will, no matter how subtle your skills are, under this kind of brutal moves, it will have no effect at all.
With a sudden step under his feet, Jiang Chu's body suddenly leaned back, shooting out backwards like an arrow from a string, and the sharp blade always stayed at a distance of about three inches in front of Jiang Chu's face, unable to break through.
"Smack!"
In a few breaths, the bamboo sword in Jiang Chu's hand was pointed out again, and at the moment when the light blue starlight on the opponent's blade dissipated, it accurately pointed at the knife and swung the knife away.
After all, the half-step condensing star is only a half-step condensing star, and it can only achieve the temporary release of star power for a moment, and it can't last, and only in this way can Jiang Chu keenly seize the opportunity and block this almost nimbalistic knife.
All this is a long story, but in fact, it is just a momentary confrontation between the rabbits and the falcons, and even Wei Yuan can't see the movements of the two clearly.
Between the hand, Jiang Chu's bamboo sword was raised, almost grazing the blade, and lightning swept through the side of the old man's cheek, and the sword blade pointed at it suddenly made the other party break out in a cold sweat.
With a simple change, the old man's eyes no longer had the contempt he had before, revealing a rare dignified color.
Of course, he could clearly feel that there was not the slightest fluctuation of star power on that sword, and he was able to block this sword, and even seize the opportunity to complete a counterattack in an instant, completely relying on that incomprehensible swordsmanship.
Seize the moment when the star power disappears and point it on the blade, this is easy to say, but in the real battle, it is simply difficult to do this step accurately, at least in the right place, the old man asked himself that he definitely didn't have this ability.
"Good boy, I underestimated you. With his eyes flickering, the old man said in a deep voice, "Return to my Zhang family, hand over this sword technique, and I can spare your life." ”
The fingers of his left hand lightly struck on the bamboo sword, and Jiang Chu's eyes also revealed a faint killing intent, "Star power is not invincible, at least, with your half-hung star power, you are not qualified to say such things to me." ”
The half-step condensing star is terrifying, but for Jiang Chu, it has not yet reached the point where it cannot be resisted.
It's not wrong to break the trick with strength, but when the skill reaches a certain level, you can also ignore the difference in strength, which is not necessarily the same.
If it was said that killing Zhang Yin before was just a matter of effort, then, at this moment, in the face of the threat of the old man, Jiang Chu really began to show his swordsmanship.
The sword is out, but it is no longer the kind of blind fast sword. The fluttering sword was handed out, seemingly powerless, but it suddenly made the knife that the old man wanted to hand out appear momentary condensation, as if, before he made a move, Jiang Chu had already calculated the way he made a move, and took out the sword first, if he continued to shoot, it would be like he stretched out his hand to let the other party stab.
