Looking at the progress bar in front of him, until the last trace was finally full, the corners of Xu Bai's mouth rose slightly.

The progress bar of this chessboard was slower than he expected, but it finally succeeded, and the effort of this time was not wasted.

When the last trace of the progress bar was successful, a blue smoke appeared in the air, converging into a line of text.

[You comprehend the nameless chessboard and comprehend the art of chess. 】

This line of text appears and disappears very quickly, but then a new change appears.

The new changes are very familiar to Xu Bai, and this is the beginning of fusion.

Sure enough, as soon as he thought about it, the new words converged again.

[Fusion options have been discovered, and they are being fused.] 】

[Breaking the Four Styles + Chess Technique = Knife Four Styles.] 】

[Fusion successful! 】

……

Xu Bai: "......"

What's going on with this inexplicable sense of immediacy?

He used to watch a TV series, and it seems that he also integrated chess and swordsmanship, but now his sword skills and chess have become a whole, and he feels very profitable.

With that in mind, the latest properties panel reappeared.

……

A large amount of information emerged, and Xu Bai held his hand on the black knife crack, savoring the information in his mind.

First of all, this is a sixth-order skill, and the corresponding level is fourth-rank.

Compared to the fifth-order skills, of course, there is a qualitative improvement, whether it is power or other aspects, it is not the same.

Secondly, it still retains the armor breaking effect of the four types and serious injuries, and not only that, but it also adds one more feature,

Xu Bai pulled out the black knife on his waist and swung it towards the air next to him.

Under the continuous surge of true yuan power, the next moment, the black knife burst into a room full of fragments.

The fragments were like stars in the sky, surrounding Xu Bai's whole body and guarding him.

If anyone is here, they will find that Xu Bai at this moment is very different from before.

When Xu Bai used this trick before, all the fragments were scattered, even if he used the Breaking Knife Technique, the fragments he brought up were also scattered.

Even if it's a return to the wind and snow, it's just a secret weapon technique.

Although the two can be skillfully combined, they are different things after all.

But now it's different.

After upgrading to the Four Styles of Yidao, every time these fragments are used, they carry a wonderful trajectory, as if each fragment is a knife.

This is no longer a hidden weapon, but has become a knife technique.

The backwind and drift snow have also become a means of controlling these debris.

Compared to the Broken Four Styles, the Yidao Four Styles have simply improved by more than one level.

Xu Bai swung his knife again, and all the fragments converged, and then dispersed again.

All the fragments seem to carry spirituality, showing all the wonders of the four styles of Yidao in mid-air.

This is hundreds of fragments, each of which can carry the four moves of the Yi Sword, if it is really used against the enemy, it will definitely be a hellish experience for the enemy.

"Boom!"

Xu Bai put the knife back into the sheath, leaned back on the recliner again, and began to write a nameless knife scripture under his liver.

Now, there are still eighteen copies of the Nameless Sword Sutra left, and Xu Bai doesn't know if he can finish his liver before going to the capital, but he can have a liver.

Time passed slowly, and Xu Bai looked at the growing progress bar, falling into a boring cycle.

……

Following.

Xu Bai got up early, stretched his waist, packed up the package, and after making sure that nothing was missing, he walked out of the door with the handle of the black knife.

Outside the door, two maids were standing beautifully.

They were arranged by Zhou Fuling, and if Xu Bai had anything, he could let them pass it on, saving Xu Bai a waste of time.

"Lord Xu." When the maid saw Xu Bai come out, she bent down and saluted, and from the waist down, there was a touch of green curves.

In this regard, Xu Bai has long been surprised.

Except for a few maids, most of them didn't mind showing these things in front of Xu Bai.

In the maid's thoughts, this young adult is on an equal footing with the government order, and when he heard that he is single again, many of them have moved their minds.

If you can be favored by this adult, then you will really fly on the branches as a phoenix.

That is to say, the national customs of Dachu are simple, and these maids are displayed through clothes at most.

If it is replaced by the previous life, I am afraid that all kinds of exaggerated shapes have come.

Xu Bai was unmoved, and said, "Please inform Lord Zhou, I will leave today." ”

What are you kidding, how could Xu Bai have moved?

What catkins, Chu Yu, Qingxue, which is not the best posture, he said that he beat them to cry, so he beat them to cry.

Without hesitation.

Oh, no, I haven't seen catkins yet, and they've been veiled.

But looking at that figure, it won't look ugly.

Now that there is a black knife cracked, a knife will definitely make them cry.

Xu Bai thought proudly in his heart, and couldn't help but touch the handle of the black knife, and he loved it even more.

What a knife!

How can a woman have a knife to be fun.

When the maid heard Xu Bai say this, there was a look of regret in her eyes, but she didn't dare to say more, so she quickly said goodbye and left.

Xu Bai didn't stay where he was, and walked directly towards the gate.

When they arrived at the gate, Zhou Fuling was already waiting there.

"Master Xu, according to what you said, Zhou did not say to the government decree of the Clay Mansion that you want to go over." Zhou Fuling saw Xu Bai and took the lead.

On this trip, Xu Bai didn't want to get involved in anything else.

Zhou Fuling is okay, and there is nothing he hates, especially the relationship between Yun Zihai, but he gets along well.

There is no guarantee that the same will be true of another government decree, so it is better to go it alone.

"There's Lord Lao Zhou." Xu Bai said with a smile: "This trip to Beijing, if it is completed, this battle of Zimu Mansion, presumably Your Majesty also understands, when the time comes, Lord Zhou will be promoted and make a fortune, don't forget Xu." ”

Zhou Fuling hurriedly said: "Lord Xu is serious, you are the talent that His Majesty wants, by the way, these changes of clothes were bought by someone in the past few days, there are tailors in my house, and I can see at a glance that Lord Xu's figure has been done, and Lord Xu can change and use them." ”

A baggage was handed over.

Xu Bai opened it and saw that there were a lot of clothes inside.

The material is very expensive at first glance, and whether it is the style or color, it is very suitable for Xu Bai's heart.

What is called a rich child as an official, this is called a rich child as an official.

In comparison, Yun Zihai is a bit shabby.

Of course, in terms of the future, Yun Zihai is much higher than Zhou Fuling.

After all, it is the first autonomous government, and in terms of power, it is already beyond the reach of the Zhou government order.

"Lord Zhou bothered." Xu Bai smiled: "So, I left in the next place." ”

"The house is busy, so Zhou won't send it." Zhou Fu ordered: "Come on, lead the horse." ”

A small guy led Xu Bai's fast horse and respectfully handed it over to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai took it, turned over on his horse, and arched his hand: "Farewell." ”

"Have a nice trip!" Zhou Fuling also gave up.

The fast horse rode into the dust, and soon disappeared into the corner of the street.

Zhou Fuling watched Xu Bai's figure disappear, and thought to himself: "Brother Yun's vision is not to say, Lord Xu may change a lot of patterns when he goes to Beijing this time......

……

What Zhou Fuling thought, Xu Bai didn't know, he had now left Zimu Mansion, and was hurrying along the way according to the route of Yinyi.

He had just come out of Zimu Mansion, and there was no need to rest halfway, so he hurried up and took advantage of the better light during the day to cross a few more Yin Posts as soon as possible, so as to rush to the next place early.

On this way, he was much more stable than before, and there was nothing unusual around, and no one came to stop him.

There are no obstacles and anomalies, and Xu Bai is also unimpeded.

When night was approaching, he found a place to rest, and when it was daytime, he continued on his journey, and so on several times, after several days, when he had almost all the supplies on him, he took his horse to the Yin Post.

When Xu Bai arrived, he found that this Yin Post was much smaller, and it did not belong to the Fuyin Station, but the Dao Yin Station.

In the Jingzhou Provincial Road, the road is the smallest, and further down is the county, and the county is not counted in it, in fact, it is also considered a road, but the scope is smaller than the road.

The Yin Post was much smaller, and there were not many post people coming and going, so Xu Bai found a place, bought some supplies from the post man, prepared the forage for the fast horses, fed the horses first, and ate them in the Yin Station.

Actually, the post chief will also provide food, but the taste is not very good.

has money, but does not need to save in some aspects, Xu Bai certainly hopes to eat better.

While eating, the surrounding posters were also chatting, after all, there was nothing to do now, except for Xu Bai, there were no travelers in the past.

Xu Bai also thought it was a piece of music, and while listening, he ate slowly.

"Have you heard? There were a lot of homicides on the roads ahead. ”

"I've heard of it, I've seen it, you know, just along this road, all the way to the Clay Mansion, and I saw a young man who was picking up the corpse."

"But no, it is said that those corpses are full of holes, and the death is extremely horrible."

……

Originally, Xu Bai should have listened to a happy one, but when he heard these words, he couldn't help frowning.

According to the meaning of the words of this group of people, from here to the clay mansion, there are many corpses, which are still killed.

And the most important thing is that these corpses died in a terrible state, with thousands of wounds all over their bodies.

Under what circumstances can it penetrate thousands of holes?

Xu Bai unconsciously thought of the corpses of the Twelve Sword Formations he saw when he was in Zimu Mansion.

The corpses were pierced by iron beads, and they were covered in scars, densely packed, and looked extremely terrifying.

Unconsciously, he overlapped these two scenes.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai finished eating the rest of the things in a few bites and came to the post man who was chatting just now.

"Come, take it."

A piece of broken silver streaked across the trail and landed in the hands of one of the posters.

The man's face was sluggish, but when he looked down at the broken silver in his hand, he quickly put it into his pocket.

"This good man, don't you know what you want me to do?" The post man flattered.

It's easy to do things with money, no matter what year it is, it's universal.

"You said you had seen it, give me a description of what that person looked like." Xu Bai's surging road.

The post man was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted and hurriedly said, "What did you say...... Is it the one who kills people? ”

Xu Bai nodded.

The post man filtered the scene in his mind, and said: "It's a man, not tall, the most obvious thing is that there is a scar on his face, which extends from the position of the eyebrow bone to the chin, which looks terrifying, and after I saw it at that time, he didn't do anything to me, and left without even looking at me." ”

"Oh?" Xu Bai touched his chin and asked again, "Did you use iron beads to kill people?" ”

The postman nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, it was an iron bead used, and he was still cleaning the scene at that time and erased all traces." ”

"Okay."

After asking what he wanted, Xu Bai stopped talking nonsense, turned around directly, rode the fast horse, and left the Yin Yi.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry, leaving a bunch of stunned post people.

……

After asking, Xu Bai also found out completely that the other party was indeed the one who killed the Twelve Sword Formation.

"No wonder, I'll just say why this road is unimpeded."

Along the way, there wasn't even a single temptation, and now it seems that they were all killed by that person.

"He's helping me, what the hell does he mean?" Xu Bai said secretly in his heart.

There are too few clues that are known so far, and he can't analyze the reason, but Xu Bai knows that his current way of rushing will change.

In the past, when I was in a hurry, I had a liver progress bar, and when I was resting at night, I had to change this order.

Since the other party is in turn to help him get rid of the people who are blocking the road, he will disrupt this time difference, and maybe he will run into it.

"Let's see what happens after we meet." After Xu Bai made up his mind in his heart, he continued to ride fast.

……

Time passed gradually, and in the blink of an eye, it was night.

This night, Xu Bai did not stop, but continued to rush forward, he wanted to see who was secretly helping him.

The horse galloped, and in the blink of an eye, he drove a lot of way, and then, Xu Bai heard something unusual.

The night should have been quiet, except for the insects and birds, only the boundless night remained.

But at this moment, in addition to the quiet night, Xu Bai heard superfluous sounds.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sounds of fighting and roaring sounded constantly in the night, even if it was very slight, but it was especially clear in the already peaceful environment.

"The main event is finally here."

The corners of Xu Bai's mouth rose slightly, revealing a strange smile, riding a fast horse, and running towards the source of the sound......

……

At this time, in a mountain forest not far from Xu Bai, a fierce fight was taking place.

More than a dozen masked men gathered together and were surrounding a young man.

The young man was average-looking and dressed in rags.

The only thing that is special is that there is a scar on the face.

The scar starts at the brow bone and extends to the chin, making it look extremely hideous.

And the young man's back, carrying a wooden box, under the wooden box, around the corners, two small holes.

As the young man places his hand in the small hole, the small hole will automatically spit out a large number of beads, no more, no less, just enough for a handful.

This wooden chest is obviously made of a trick.

The young man didn't say a word, and every time he made a move, he raised a burst of iron beads, covering the sky and the sun.

And the group of masked men, dodging left and right in the iron beads, there were already more than thirty corpses lying on the ground.

At this time, the young man was also injured, and there was a huge wound on his shoulder, which was still bleeding.

"Boy, your secret weapon is extremely clever, but after all, it is only a secret weapon, put it on the bright side, isn't that looking for death?" A masked man spoke: "We have no grudges with you in the past, and we have no enmity in recent days, but you came to stop us, could it be Xu Bai's lackey?" ”

When the words fell, the young man did not answer, but still raised a handful of iron beads and threw them at the masked man who spoke.

But at this time, the young man seemed to be weakening, and after many hard battles, he was exhausted.

Although the iron beads thrown out covered the sky and the sun, the strength was not as good as before, and they were easily shot down.

The masked men looked at each other and rushed towards the young man in unison.

"He can't do it, everyone, get rid of this guy who is blocking the way, and then deal with Xu Bai!"

"Kill so many of our brothers, and give him a cruel death later."

"Attack with all your strength, according to Xu Bai's steps, you will arrive tomorrow, don't leave trouble at that time!"

The crowd shouted and attacked the young man.

The young man kept his mouth tightly shut, his face pale, but still silent, and mechanically reached into the wooden box behind him.

These people who were sent to attack Xu Bai were all masters.

If you are not a master, you can also send food to you.

The young man's hidden weapon is good at sneak attacks, just like the twelve sword formations that can't fight back when they kill that day.

Just like Song De said before, if you put it on the bright side, it is not certain who wins and who loses.

Able to kill more than thirty people, this young man is also extremely powerful.

But now, he's exhausted.

Looking at the people rushing over, the young man intended to make a last-ditch effort.

As he was about to approach, a voice sounded around him.

"Oh, you're here to kill me."

The voice rang out, and everyone present stopped.

The young man's eyes showed a look of consternation, and he turned his head in surprise, and saw Xu Bai holding the black knife in his hand, crossing from a distant place, and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.

The black knife was already out of its sheath, and there was a faint light flashing on it, and under the illumination of the moonlight, it looked unusually cold.

"It's Xu Bai, run!"

This group of people is also considered to have an IQ, and they know that in this case, they can't be opponents anyway, so after shouting, they are ready to turn around and leave.

But before they could speak, they heard Xu Bai speak again.

"If you run away, how will I be in the rivers and lakes in the future?"

The voice fell, and Xu Bai's true yuan power began to surge, flowing along the black knife cracks.

In the next moment, the black knife cracked into fragments all over the sky, shrouded in black light and wind.

Xu Bai's right hand was horizontal, and the knife was used in four styles.

The power of the four swords that have reached the sixth order is naturally incomparable.

All the fragments flew out in unison, and each fragment had its own mode of operation, and the so-called mode of operation was the Yidao Four Styles.

With more than 100 fragments, what kind of scene is it when they all perform the Four Styles of Yidao?

Xu Bai was still standing in place, the breeze blowing, lifting his clothes in an arc.

Although he didn't move, the fragments of the black knife were like a flood beast, and they were swept into the crowd.

The group of masked men also knew that they could not run anymore, and they all turned around, ready to resist.

But the next moment, they realized that something was wrong.

The shouts came and went.

"Damn, how could these fragments be so weird!"

"It's not like a hidden weapon, it's more like a knife!"

"Every fragment can perform a sword technique alone, what kind of weapon is this!"

……

These voices only sounded for a moment, and the next moment, all the people present were pierced by fragments, and no one survived.

It's useless to keep it, since it's here to assassinate yourself, you must be some dead soldiers, and you can't ask anything, it's a waste of time.

Xu Bai put the knife back into its sheath, and the fragments in the sky re-condensed into a black knife.

From beginning to end, Xu Bai didn't even move a step, and all the people present were gone.

He turned his gaze to the young man and said in a surging voice, "Name, origin." ”

When he was in Zimu Mansion that day, the person who killed the Twelve Sword Formation was found.

If it weren't for the fact that this man didn't seem to be an enemy, now Xu Bai would have sent him down.

Then, as soon as Xu Bai's words came out, the young man made a move.

I saw the young man kneeling on the ground, kowtowing three times to Xu Bai, and when he raised his head again, his face was already full of tears: "Thank you Lord Xu for saving your life." ”

The voice is hoarse, but able to hear clearly.

"Why are you crying?" Xu Bai frowned.

At the beginning, in the face of the siege of so many people, the people who still persisted, but now they are crying inexplicably, Xu Bai of course feels that something is wrong.

Even in the face of so many people, life and death, this young man still did not frown, but now he is in tears?

This extreme contrast, of course, will make people feel very contradictory.

No matter how you look at it, it feels wrong.

"I cry because I have revenge, and I cry because I cry because of my benefactor." When the young man heard Xu Bai's question, he wiped the tears from his face and said slowly.

His voice was still hoarse, as if his throat had been wounded, and he struggled to utter the words.

"Give you a stick of incense, you can explain it at a moment." Xu Bai looked at the sky, it was too late now, and it was not suitable for hurrying, so he would just listen to what this young man had to say first.

Just take a look to see if there are any clues.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai found a tree and leaned lazily against the tree, waiting for the young man's explanation.

It's just that his hand has never left the black knife crack, obviously, he has not relaxed his vigilance, as long as the young man has any changes, he will go straight to the knife.

The young man was slightly stunned, and then thought that Xu Bai said that he would only give him a stick of incense, so he hurried up and quickly explained.

"The villain's name is Shen He, from the Feihe Pavilion, is the last descendant of the Feihe Pavilion, the Feihe Pavilion is good at the art of hidden weapons, and the secret weapon makes it superb, but in the end it was tragically destroyed."

"Feihe Pavilion comes from the Gale Country, since the Gale Country, it was one of the top two forces at that time, but with the rise of the Great Chu State, the Gale Country is in danger, and the inheritance within the Gale Country is also because it was temporarily requisitioned, and went to fight against the Great Chu State."

"But the Great Chu State is too strong, and soon, these armies composed of Jianghu people will collapse."

"After that, when the Great Chu State dealt with the border barbarians and the Great Yue Kingdom, he once again learned the path of the Great Wind Country and used the Jianghu people."

Speaking of which, the young man pauses for a moment, and his mood is very unstable.

As if recalling some bad moments, he clenched his fists and gasped for breath with difficulty.

Then, he finally eased up, calmed down, and said the follow-up one by one.

"Later, the Great Chu Kingdom didn't care about the past suspicions, and let those Jianghu people go back safely, I thought everything was fine, but then, it became a dead end for my Feihe Pavilion."

"At that time, it was the Feihe Pavilion that stood up and advocated taking refuge in Da Chu, and because of this, they were retaliated against by those remnants, and they joined forces to destroy the Feihe Pavilion."

"Panjian Mountain, where the Twelve Sword Formations are located, is one of them, and there are many more, they are all of them, I know them all."

Hearing this, Xu Bai frowned, and he sensed something wrong.

"Why don't you write to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty call the shots?"

It doesn't make sense that such a big thing happened, but it didn't follow the official path.

If the emperor really encounters this matter, he will have to deal with it, otherwise those people in the rivers and lakes will not dare to serve the court in the future.

"I wrote to Your Majesty, but what these people did was really airtight, and there was no evidence at all." Shen He's face was bitter: "At that time, Your Majesty's foundation was stable, and it was not good to do it without evidence, and later, after a long time, it was even more difficult to do it, I was still young at that time, and Your Majesty arranged me in the palace to follow Gonggong Wei to learn art, in fact, it was also to protect me." ”

"Your Majesty said that he would give me an explanation, but when I heard that Lord Xu was on the way to Beijing, I couldn't help it and ran out of the palace."

"When I arrived, I saw the Twelve Sword Formation, I was eager for revenge, and I was worried that Lord Xu would think like others and let these people make meritorious contributions, so I took action."

"After that, I have been following Lord Xu, secretly solving those killers, and also taking revenge."

Speaking of this, Shen He seemed to be relieved after speaking in one breath, and the whole person became loose.

He looked directly at Xu Bai and did not dodge, indicating that what he said was true.

"I see."

After Xu Bai understood the cause and effect, he thought about the emperor's thoughts, touched his chin, and said, "So, do you know who those people are?" ”

He came to this conclusion.

Since Shen He has a purpose of revenge, then he must know the identities of these people.

If you know the identity, it's easy to do.

In this way, the enemy and the enemy will be reversed.

"I know, but only partially." Shen He explained: "At that time, I was still young, and I could only recognize some people. ”

Speaking of this, Shen He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xu Bai with an extremely respectful attitude.

"This is recorded by the villain, and the villain will never forget it in his life."

When he spoke, he gritted his teeth, as if he hated it to the bone.

Xu Bai took it, opened it and took a look, there were all kinds of names written on it, and next to the name, the industry to which it belonged was also marked.

"Hmm...... Very good. ”

In the letter, there are several belonging to the Clay House.

"My lord, the villain wants to go with the adult, go to the clay mansion, and saddle the horse for the adult." Shen He said seriously.

Xu Bai didn't speak, turned his gaze, and looked directly at Shen He.

Just now, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and he also sensed that something was wrong in Shen He's words.

And Shen He was seen by this gaze, and felt that his heart was hairy, as if he was being stared at by a terrifying weirdness, and he was terrified.

"My lord, why are you looking at me like that?" Shen He raised his head with difficulty and asked.

There was a hint of playfulness in this gaze.

"Hmm...... First killed the Twelve Sword Formation, and then helped me kill those killers, very good, after deceiving my trust, stay by my side. Xu Bai smiled and said: "If I really follow the information again, will I become a murderer?" ”

This sentence came extremely abruptly, and the surrounding environment fell into silence.

Shen He was slightly stunned, and after a long while, he reacted, and then said, "My lord, you misunderstood the villain." ”

He wanted to defend himself, but when the words came to his lips, he was interrupted by Xu Bai.

"You haven't thought that since His Majesty the Emperor values you so much, and the palace is heavily guarded, why did he let you run out?" Xu Bai raised a finger and said slowly: "Do you think Your Majesty is a fool, or are you smarter than Your Majesty?" ”

Shen He's face was sluggish and he didn't say a word.

"You've done a good job in every part, but not this one." Xu Bai continued: "I don't believe that Your Majesty will release you and let you disturb my going to Beijing, so all this should be deliberate." ”

Shen He's face gradually stiffened, his expression became more and more strange, and he said stiffly: "But my lord, this is not evidence, what I said is true." ”

In the tone, in addition to helplessness, there was also anxiety, as if he was afraid that Xu Bai would misunderstand.

When it comes to acting, Xu Bai is an expert, and he sees something abnormal.

"Since the founding of the Great Chu State, your age is too young." Xu Bai said suddenly.

"You said that when you were young, you wrote down most of the people, so you must have been sensible, but what about the result? From that time to now, you are too young, in my opinion, you should be middle-aged. ”

When this sentence came out, Shen He finally couldn't hold it anymore.

Leaked, completely leaked!

He quickly retreated, trying to escape from here, but before he could take two steps, he suddenly felt a pain in his body, and then a sharp pain came from his whole body, and he couldn't help but bend down, sweating profusely, and it became difficult to breathe.

This is not the reason why Xu Bai did it, Xu Bai didn't do it at all, and he saw Shen He make this appearance.

"Poison? Or is it something else? ”

has a true solution to a hundred poisons, but Xu Bai didn't see it.

"I see, I'm a chess piece, if I can't get inside, is this the end?" Shen He raised his head, his face pale.

The next moment, his body suddenly swelled, like a balloon that stretched to the limit, and it was fully expanded by three times, giving people the feeling that it would explode at any moment.
