Chapter XXXVIII: Confrontation (Revised)
In the middle of the night, the white light reflected in the Taoist temple disappeared, and the people inside rested.
An Wen saw that he was lying down, but he was full of doubts and did not feel sleepy.
[No matter how many times it is analyzed, it is the same result, why can't I find anyone?] 】
For eight days, An Wenjian was not patronizing and consolidating and familiarizing himself with the realm, but also three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, from time to time to look around the Taoist temple through his analytical ability.
The analytical ability is very strong, and even if the monk uses the technique of breathing to lurk, he can easily find out.
However, after eight days, An Wen saw that there was no gain, as if there were no monks hiding around.
[The person has arrived in the vicinity, which is also the conclusion of the analytical ability.] Two results conflict, indicating that one should be wrong. 】
An Wenjian couldn't help but think: [But why? 】
The ability to parse can be said to be his greatest reliance on survival in this world, and if possible, An Wenjian does not want to doubt the "correctness" of his analytical ability.
[No, if you think about it this way, the only result is that the parsing ability is wrong.] 】
An Wen stopped his thoughts, got up and walked out of the bedroom, and came to the Taoist hall.
The night breeze carries a hint of coolness, giving people the illusion that the brain is a little clear.
[If the parsing ability is not wrong, then the most likely cause of the current situation ......]
An Wenjian almost subconsciously turned on the ability to analyze.
This time, it quickly came to the conclusion that Po Yu and the helpers he invited used magic weapons to interfere with the analysis, but they simply swept their eyes and would not be discovered.
[So the people have already arrived nearby... Isn't that the perfect time to sneak attack?! 】
An Wenjian only felt a chill rush to his head, and quickly looked around - nothing.
"Whew, a false alarm."
An Wenjian breathed a sigh of relief, whispered "talk to himself", and turned back to the bedroom.
Just as he walked to the door of the bedroom, a dark shadow rushed out of the shadows of the Taoist hall, shrouded in a cloak, and the movement was very small and fast.
The black shadow quickly approached behind An Wenjian, and a steel knife appeared under the cloak, reflecting the moonlight, with an indomitable momentum, and slashed at An Wenjian's neck.
At this time, An Wen saw that he was right in the middle of the door frame, whether he dodged or counterattacked, he would be restricted by the door frame, causing his movements to be a little slower-
"Plus I'm 'relaxing when I found out you didn't come', it's the best time to kill with one hit, you should think so, Feather Breaker."
An Wen whispered and turned around at normal speed.
The figure covered in the black robe, the steel knife that reflected the moonlight, as if time stood still, stopped in mid-air: "It's a pity that you don't believe me, you didn't use the knife I helped you strengthen, otherwise you can now inspire the golden blade to carry out long-range attacks." ”
Pogang couldn't move at the moment, and he didn't know what means An Wenjian used, so he was very panicked, but his good psychological quality kept him calm, didn't say a word, pretended to be a disciple, and attracted An Wenjian's attention.
"Nothing to say, or nothing to say? You can't come alone, what about your helper? Are you hiding somewhere now, ready to attack me, or save you? ”
An Wenjian walked over and touched the cloak: "This cloak is the reason why you can come here quietly." Really nice stuff... Don't worry, I won't take your things, I'll pay you back after a little research. ”
As he spoke, An Wen carefully untied the cloak and took it off.
“?!”
The person under the cloak is not broken feathers, An Wen suddenly felt bad when he saw it: [Xiaofu! 】
He was just about to activate the formation in the bedroom when he heard the roar of broken feathers coming from the bedroom: "Stop!" ”
An Wen hesitated when he was heard by this roar, and missed the best time to open the bedroom formation.
rushed into the bedroom, only to see another person in a cloak, grabbing An Xiaofu's mouth with one hand and pressing her to the floor. In the other hand, he held a sharp steel knife, the blade of which was close to An Xiaofu's neck, and it could be cut off with a little force.
An Xiaofu's right hand and sword finger were half cut into this person's arm - she tried to resist, but unfortunately the gap in cultivation was too big, and she was still controlled.
[Hi, where did that guy go?] Obviously, they all told it to protect Xiaofu well! 】
An Wen was secretly anxious.
"Watch your spiritual powers!"
Po Yu warned loudly, and the blade cut through An Xiaofu's skin: "As long as I get stronger, I'll kill her immediately!" ”
An Wen saw that he didn't want to gamble with An Xiaofu's life, so he didn't dare to act rashly for a while, and his face was gloomy: "Broken Feather." ”
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and Your Excellency looks stronger again."
Po Yu raised his head slightly, his hands were very steady: "I thought I had a good conversation with Your Excellency, but I never thought that Your Excellency would be so wary of me." I can't imagine that with my master's ability, the sneak attack failed to kill Your Excellency. ”
"That's what I want to say."
An Wenjian said in a slow tone: "I thought that I had deceived you by showing weakness, but I didn't expect you and your master to be so cautious, the magic weapon cloak that covered your whereabouts, sneak attacked in the middle of the night, one side attracted my attention, and the other party took the opportunity to arrest people and let me throw a mouse trap......"
"What surprised me the most was that you easily subdued my master."
Po Yu looked at his own master behind An Wenjian, who was fixed in mid-air: "Fortunately, you have such a lovely daughter." If you don't want to see her head in a different place, now, immediately, let go of my master! ”
“……”
An Wen saw silence, didn't say anything, didn't do anything.
"I asked you to let go of my master, don't you understand?!"
The knife in Po Yu's hand was pressed down a little more, and the wound on An Xiaofu's neck suddenly flowed more blood, and she shouted: "You don't know the situation, or do you think I dare not do it?!" ”
"It's you who didn't figure out the situation."
An Wenjian stared at the wound on An Xiaofu's neck, and his tone was calm and full of murderous intent: "As long as I'm okay, I can save her." Even if you kill her, I can kill you and your master immediately to avenge her hatred. And once I kill her, the best outcome for her will be killed by you. ”
"So, give me the same gentleness and care as if I were holding the best heaven and earth treasure! Her life or death is directly related to the lives of you and your master, and it is your lifeline! ”
An Wen was suddenly excited, and looked furious: "Or do you think I will give up resisting?!" ”
Po Yu suddenly had nothing to say, but the hand holding the steel knife was still steady, and his eyes were staring at An Wenjian, and the meaning expressed was obvious: even if he was going to die, he had to pull a cushion back.
"I do value her life more than you, though."
An Wenjian suddenly calmed down again: "Tell me about your conditions." As long as I don't let her and I die, whether it's letting you master and apprentice go, or letting me take out something, I can consider it. ”
"I don't believe it."
In his almost desperate heart, he saw a glimmer of hope: "Unless you make a heavenly oath!" ”
"Heavenly Oath?"
An Wenjian asked, "What is that?" ”
"I can understand it without the method of breathing, but I don't even know the oath of heaven......"
Broken Feather began to wonder if the inheritance that An Wen had obtained was complete: "What is the matter with the inheritance you obtained?" ”
"I'm not the one to leave a legacy, how can I know that."
An Wen said as a matter of course: "Since you brought it up, you should be clearer than me, explain it." ”
The muscles of Po Yu's face trembled, and he explained: "The Heavenly Dao oath is the oath that asks the will of the Heavenly Dao to witness it. If you violate the oath of heaven again, you will be punished by the will of heaven and die. ”
"As long as you make a heavenly oath that you will not harm me and my master in any way, and then hand over the inheritance you have obtained and this Taoist temple, and tell all the secrets of the Taoist temple, I will release your daughter."
