Chapter 6: Temptation
As soon as the emotional gossip was discussed, the young disciples of the Sword Pavilion became more and more excited the more they chatted.
"If I'm not mistaken, didn't Gu Xu already have a fiancée before? It seems that he is still a disciple of our Sword Pavilion. How did you get mixed up with Zhao Yan again? ”
"I got married early. If it were you, would you marry your daughter to a wanted criminal? ”
"That's right."
"I heard that in the northern people, Gu Xu has been secretly called 'the future prince', and he is also said to be the 'human incarnation of the fire god', and Zhao Yan, who is the reincarnation of the holy woman, is a pair made in heaven."
"People in the north are really good at making up stories in order to build momentum."
"Yes, I've been hearing proverbs like 'the Northeast has a genius' lately. They really want to rebel and go crazy. ”
“……”
The more Shi Xiaohan listened, the more complicated his mood became.
On the one hand, he is more and more worried about Gu Xu's safety.
On the other hand, they are entangled in whether "Gu Xu wants to be the prince of the north" is true or false.
She never doubted Gu Xu's feelings for her.
But now their engagement has been burned.
Shi Xiaohan, who only cultivated in the third realm, could not give him useful help in the process of escaping.
Only Zhao Yan, who established herself as the king in Jicheng, dared and had the ability to openly shelter Gu Xu, the most wanted criminal of the Great Qi Dynasty.
In this case, will Gu Xu let go of this inconclusive relationship in order to survive, choose to stay in the north and never come back?
And that Zhao Yan is so beautiful - that bright and flamboyant, very aggressive beauty, even she can't take her eyes off a girl.
Can Gu Xu hold it?
The more Shi Xiaohan thought about it, the more he felt bottomless.
…………
Just as Xiao Han's thoughts were in turmoil, several black spatial cracks silently cut through the blue sky above the Sword Pavilion.
Immediately after, two masked figures appeared out of thin air in the center of the crack.
Their appearance made the Sword Pavilion disciples present involuntarily nervous-
Because these two uninvited guests did not touch the alarm of the Great Protector Array, they directly appeared within the scope of the formation.
In everyone's cognition, this is something that only a strong saint who is proficient in the laws of space can do.
"Hurry up and tell the pavilion master, there is a foreign enemy intruding!" Someone shouted.
However, Sword Pavilion Master Xu Man's reaction was faster than he expected.
With a crisp sword roar, a silver-white sword light cut through the mist in the mountains and rushed straight towards the two in the clouds.
Before the man arrives, the sword comes first.
These two people in the sky are undoubtedly Gu Xu and Luo Chuan, who have just arrived from Lingshan Temple.
In the face of this fierce flying sword, they did not panic and invariably adopted the same way of response.
Their forms became translucent, shimmering in the sky, as if they could disappear into nothingness at any moment.
If someone in the know saw this scene, they would immediately realize that they had hidden their true bodies in the spatial crack to avoid Xu Man's flying sword attack.
I saw the silver-white flying sword "whoosh" straight through their bodies, as if it had passed through disembodied smoke.
The two were unscathed.
At this time, Xu Man, the master of the Sword Pavilion, finally stepped on the sword light and came to them.
Same as the last time we met.
Xu Man was still dressed in black, with long boots, and a bamboo hat decorated with a light gauze on her head, looking cold and neat.
Without saying a word, she manipulated the flying sword again and slashed at Gu Xu's head.
Gu Xu once again used "Qiankun" to dodge.
At the same time, he transmitted a voice to the Luo Chuan Divine Sense beside him: "Wenchang, don't do it first. She was testing me. ”
"Emperor, she is a true saint powerhouse, and she cultivates the most dangerous flying sword technique, you must be careful-" Luo Chuan frowned, still a little worried.
"—Wenchang, you are the one who has followed me the longest," Gu Xu smiled and interrupted him, "Can't you remember how I dealt with these sword cultivators before?" ”
He raised his hand slightly as he spoke.
As he pointed at the flying sword, the flying sword immediately braked sharply in front of him, and then it seemed to become a thousand pounds, and it fell straight to the ground without Xu Man's control.
This was the first time that Gu Xu had used the authority of "domination" after devouring the remnant soul of the Ziwei Emperor.
Before his death, Emperor Ziwei described that this authority "can manipulate the stars from the top and control people's hearts from below".
Among them, the "manipulation of the stars" is reflected in the control of gravity.
It is undoubtedly extremely convenient to deal with long-range attacks such as flying swords and arrows.
Xu Man's pale lips under the light gauze pursed into a straight line.
She waved her hand to recall her natal sword, held it tightly in the palm of her hand, and then cast her technique, and appeared behind Gu Xu in an instant.
The flying sword technique of the Sword Pavilion Master was once famous all over the world for "Killing the Fierce God for a Thousand Miles".
Although her close-quarters sword skills are less famous, their danger is no less than that of flying swords.
…………
At this moment, Shi Xiaohan was standing on the hillside, looking up and watching the battle with many Sword Pavilion disciples.
As a strong saint who entered the Dao with a sword, and has an unearthly demeanor, Xu Man is undoubtedly the object of worship in the hearts of almost all Sword Pavilion disciples.
When she stepped on the stage with a dazzling sword light, bursts of excited shouts immediately sounded on the ground, shouting words such as "Pavilion Master kill them" and "Pavilion Master is invincible in the world".
But Shi Xiaohan remained silent and did not participate.
Because she inexplicably felt that the figure wearing green clothes and masks, standing opposite Xu Ge Lord, looked particularly familiar.
His figure and temperament are very similar to Gu Xu in her memory.
When Xu Man attacked him, her heart couldn't help but raise her throat, for fear that he would be injured.
"But the problem is that when Gu Xu and I were separated in Luojing City, we only had the fourth realm cultivation," she thought, "The man in Tsing Yi in front of him can fight with Xu Ge Master inseparably."
"No matter how talented Gu Xu is, it is impossible for him to break through multiple realms in such a short period of time!"
…………
Xu Man's sword came too quickly.
It was like a cold white lightning, too late to defend or dodge, and stabbed straight towards the back of Gu Xu's head.
But Gu Xu still looked indifferent and unflustered.
He wasn't going to hide, he wasn't going to block.
As if giving up resistance, he stood still and let Xu Man's sword stab at the head.
So much so that even Xu Man was a little surprised by this.
In the next second, the sword blade rubbed against Gu Xu's ear, cutting off a few strands of his hair, but it didn't leave the slightest scar.
Gu Xu seized the opportunity and cast "Qiankun", which instantly flickered to a position dozens of meters away.
Xu Man stood in the air and did not chase after him immediately.
She slowly withdrew her long sword, looked at the place where Gu Xu disappeared, and frowned slightly.
"It was a mistake."
