Chapter 33: Surprise Attack
The four people of Qingcheng Mountain talked and laughed, and soon passed by Ye Boyu's side, and ran upward, Ye Boyu thought that as soon as the four of them entered the encirclement of more than 40 people just now, they were immediately surrounded by a group, who knows, but the dozens of people did not move, as if they did not see these four people.
Ye Boyu couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that these people were dealing with someone else, not the Qingcheng faction, and it seemed that he was worried in vain. Worried about Zi Yan's safety, he prepared to leave here quietly and rush back to the inn.
"Not true. I obviously heard that Ling Yin say just now that Ling Yun asked them to meet on the top of the mountain, so what are the few of them going to do when they meet late at night?" Ye Boyu hesitated for a moment, and then thought about it again, "Forget it, it's better to take care of the affairs of others." ”
Ye Boyu hesitated, the four disciples of Qingcheng Mountain had already gone up to the top of the mountain, and several people sat down in a pavilion, waiting for Ling Feng to arrive. Apparently unaware of the surrounding ambush.
The leader of the man in black saw that the four disciples of Qingcheng Mountain had reached the top of the mountain, and he didn't look back, stretched out his right hand, handed two fingers forward, and made an upward gesture, and the more than forty people around him all moved forward cautiously, and after a while, the entire mountain top was surrounded.
Ye Boyu's heart was bright, knowing that these people were dealing with the Qingcheng faction, and they only waited for the enemy to enter the top of the mountain, and waited for that Ling Feng to come together, and then caught the turtle in the urn. I couldn't help but shake my head secretly, the heart Dao relied on the slight Taoism of these dozens of black-clothed people, and it was okay to deal with these disciples who were not talented, so if Lingyun was coming, where would they still have a way to live. I thought that Pan Longjue was still in Ling Yun's hands, and I would see if there was a chance to take it back from Ling Yun's hands for a while, so I would wait to die.
There were four people on the stage, and more than 40 people in the audience, and they waited for more than an hour, seeing that the jade rabbit was falling eastward, and it was almost ugly, and there was still no trace of Lingyun.
"Senior Brother Ling Tian, it's a shame that you just kept praising Senior Brother, look at him, let us wait for him here, more than an hour has passed, but he himself has not arrived. This is not what we are looking for. "Listening to the voice, it's that Ling Zhong who is starting to get impatient.
"Yes. Ling Yin immediately said, "Second Senior Brother, you are still protecting him." I think let's go back quickly, he's definitely not coming. ”
"No, you can't. Ling Tian said slowly: "Senior Brother is not the kind of person who does not believe in his words, there must be some accident on the road. Ladies and gentlemen, please be calm and patient. ”
Hearing Ling Tian say this, several people had nothing to say, shook their heads at each other, and sat down again to wait.
"Not good. Ling Tian suddenly stood up, drew his sword out of its sheath, and said sharply, "Who are you waiting for?"
Ling Yu, Ling Zhong, and Ling Yin were startled, and hurriedly opened their eyes to take a look, only to see that at some point, dozens of black-clothed men surrounded them, all with hideous faces, and surrounded the four of them in the middle.
The man in black at the head smiled suspiciously, and said in a low voice: "When death is on the verge of death, why do you ask so much? With a wave of his hand, dozens of black-clothed people under his command swarmed up and fought with the four people of the Qingcheng faction.
Those black-clothed people cultivated to mediocrity, relying on the large number of people, ten to one, divided into four places, surrounded the four people in the middle, the leading black-clothed man did not participate in the battle, just put his hands behind his back, swept the formation on the side, and looked confident.
Ling Tian had the highest martial arts among the four senior brothers, a long sword was used, although the number of people in black was numerous, but he was forced to retreat step by step, and slowly later, among the forty men in black, twenty of them fought with him. Ling Zhong and Ling Yu fought alone against eight black-clothed people, attacking and defending, and the battle was tied. Ling Yin's martial arts are the weakest, surrounded by four black-clothed people in the middle, at first he can occasionally attack a few swords, but then he is slowly forced by the sword light of the black-clothed man, so he can only blindly defend.
The black-clothed man who was the leader observed for a while, sneered, jumped into the circle, and instead of pinching Ling Tian, who had cultivated to the highest level, he stretched out his hand, his hand formed the shape of a tiger's claw, and grabbed Ling Yin's chest, and the shot was extremely obscene. Ye Boyu could see at a glance that there was a hidden yin wind in this person's palm, and it was not a decent practice in the Central Plains.
Ling Yin was already struggling, the man in black grabbed it in the air, and in a hurry, he could only lean over to avoid it, the strong wind of the man in black swept by, the bun on his head was grabbed and scattered, and his hair fell apart.
The man in black caught it and missed, his right hand did not stop, and grabbed Ling Yin's ribs, Ling Yin's long sword was outside, and he was forced by two men in black behind him, there was no way to retreat, there was no way to avoid it, and he couldn't escape this blow, so he could only close his eyes and wait for death.
Ye Boyu didn't expect the leading man in black to be so vicious, it was too late to come to the rescue, seeing that Ling Yin was about to be hit hard by the man in black, suddenly a white light flashed, and a sword quickly and incoherently slashed at the right hand of the leading man in black, the man in black had to retreat, but the offensive was also broken. Ling Yin opened his eyes and saw that it was Ling Tian who had been paying attention to Ling Yin's side, seeing that Ling Yin's situation was critical, and came to the rescue.
The leader of the black-clothed man missed two blows, he was furious, he shouted a few times in a row, his ten fingers were like hooks, and he grabbed Ling Tian in the air, but was blocked by the long swords of Ling Zhong and Ling Yu next to him. Dozens of black-clothed people next to him surrounded them together, and the form turned into a situation where the four people of the Qingcheng faction joined forces to fight against forty-one black-clothed people.
Ye Boyu slowly walked to the top of the mountain, in case anything happened to the four of Qingcheng, and he could come to the rescue.
At this time, Qingcheng sent four people to stand together, form a Qingcheng sword formation, and join forces to resist the enemy. The Qingcheng Sword Formation is based on the position of the four elephants, with as few as four people and as many as hundreds of people, all of whom can form the Qingcheng Sword Array. The four of them formed an impenetrable sword net, and although there were many people in black, they could not have the upper hand at all.
After a long battle, the black-clothed man led by him began to get anxious, muttering a few words in his mouth, and suddenly threw out a black flag the size of a foot from his back, and when he shook it in the wind, it became the size of a zhangxu, and the five black qi on the black banner rolled upside down and grabbed it towards the top of Ling Tian's head, Ling Tian was taken aback, and hurriedly swung his long sword and slashed towards the black flag, who knows, before the long sword reached the black flag, it was swept up by the five black gases, and the five black gases were like tangible things, one rolled the long sword and snatched it down, and threw it aside.
Ling Tian and the others were dumbfounded, only to see the five black qi grabbed again, Ye Boyu pulled out his long sword, and was about to step forward, suddenly, with a snort, a fast and incoherent sword light crossed the sky, cutting the black flag into two pieces and falling to the ground. The black-clothed man led by him screamed, and the five black qi also disappeared without a trace, and when he looked up, he saw two sword lights stopped in mid-air, and there were two people standing on the sword light, one green and one white.
The person in the white robe, Ye Boyu could see clearly, it was Ling Yun who everyone couldn't wait for, and the young man in the blue robe was about the same age as Ling Yun, with a heroic face. It was Ling Yun who saved Ling Tian by releasing the sword just now, Ling Yun saw that several junior disciples were muddy and embarrassed, his face was blue at the moment, and he didn't answer, the black and white double swords on his back flew out at the same time, flying into the crowd of people in black, chopping melons and vegetables, and killing more than a dozen people in an instant.
The leading man in black saw that the situation was not right, he forcibly held back the pain, turned around and was about to escape, the man in green raised his hand and shouted: "Evil obstacles, where to go?" A palm-like thunder with the thickness of an arm slashed on the leader of the man in black, and immediately killed the man in black on the ground.
At this time, Ling Yun's black and white swords had already killed forty men in black, and the black and white swords were withdrawn from his back. Hurriedly lowered the sword light and went to see the injuries of Ling Tian and the others.
The man in Tsing Yi looked up to the sky and smiled, and said, "Lingyun, no wonder you have no intention of fighting, it turns out that the master is in trouble." ”
Ling Yun saw that the junior brothers had only suffered skin injuries, so he put his mind at ease and said to Ling Tian and the others in a low voice: "Senior brothers, junior sisters, senior brothers almost caused a big disaster because they were late, I'm sorry for all junior brothers and sisters." ”
Ling Tian, Ling Yu and Ling Zhong hurriedly said, "Senior brother, don't be polite, I'll wait for something to happen." Ling Yin turned his head away and ignored him.
Ling Yun didn't care, he raised his head and said to the man in Tsing Yi: "Bai Guo, don't pester me anymore, if it weren't for you, where would there be this today?"
Bai Guo smiled again and said, "Lingyun, today you and I will fight to a draw for the time being, and we will see you again at the 'Six Factions Kendo Conference'." With that, he set up his sword light and headed southwest.
Ling Yun snorted coldly, helped the junior disciples to sit on the wooden bench in the pavilion to rest, and waited for everyone to bandage their wounds, Ling Yun asked Ling Tian, "Second junior brother, why did you come here late at night?"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention that Ling Tian and the other four disciples were confused, and even Ye Boyu next to him was confused, Ling Tian looked at the other three junior disciples and said: "Senior brother, it is obvious that you left a mark in the inn, let me wait for you here when I wait for today's son, saying that there is something important to discuss, what's wrong?"
Ling Yin also shouted loudly on the side: "Senior brother, did you deliberately let us come over, and you didn't admit it if something happened!"
Ling Yun ignored the others, stared at Ling Tian with his eyes tight, and said in a low voice, "Second Senior Brother, where did you find my mark, tell me in detail. ”
Ling Tian also knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly said loudly: "It was last night, the four of us stayed in the "Cloud Stopping Inn", and lived in the guest room, we went out for a leisurely walk in the afternoon, and came back at about midnight, as soon as I returned to the guest room, I found a Bai Juan on my desk, Bai Juan wrote, tomorrow, I will wait for the four of us to meet you on time at the top of Yunwu Mountain in the west of the city, and there are important matters to discuss." The lower right corner of Bai Juan is embroidered with the marks of black and white swords. That's your unique mark, brother. So I waited for the four of us to come overnight. ”
As he spoke, he took out a Bai Juan from his arms and stretched out his hand to hand it to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun's face was pale, and he slowly said that Ling Yu, Ling Zhong and Ling Yin next to him looked over on their faces, and Ling Yu and the others all nodded in unison, indicating that what Ling Tian said was not bad at all.
Ling Yun stretched out his hand to take it, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as what Ling Tian said, the black and white double swords embroidered in the lower right corner of Bai Juan were also exactly the same as his usual unique secret notes, no wonder the junior disciples mistakenly thought that they had written it.
Ling Yun took Bai Juan into his arms, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky in the distance, and said in a deep voice after a while: "I haven't written such a Bai Juan, there must be a big mystery in this!"
"What kind of mystery is it? Obviously, you fought with others, missed the time of the rendezvous, and almost killed the four of us, and you still didn't admit it. "Ling Yin is usually the most favored by the master, and he is also unscrupulous towards the senior brother.
"Ling Yin, don't be rude to Senior Brother. Ling Tian shouted in a low voice.
