Chapter 264: Combined Cultivation
A gust of night wind blew.
Along the cracks in the doors and windows, a faint bloody breath quietly drifted into the house.
Mixed with the aroma of the wine and food on the table, the taste of the entire banquet room suddenly became complicated and indescribable.
At this moment, the room was as silent as it was inside and out.
No one spoke, and the music had long since stopped.
Several women who were still dancing were all huddled in the corner at this time, huddled together and shivering.
A few soft pops.
All candles were extinguished by the palm wind, and the room was plunged into darkness.
Only the lantern under the eaves of the porch outside the door remains, still releasing a faint light.
After a dozen breaths.
Suddenly, there was a suppressed scream, which came from not far away.
The white-clothed swordsman frowned, and the killing intent between his eyebrows became more and more cold.
He knew very well that this was the elite armor guarding the travels that was being slaughtered.
Because he had served as a swordsmanship teacher in Prince Yan's Mansion before, the white-clothed swordsman was quite familiar with these armor soldiers, and he had accumulated some master-apprentice friendship with them, and now when he heard that these people died so tragically, how could he not let his heart burn with murderous intent.
The suppressed screams continued and never stopped.
The white-clothed swordsman could clearly feel that the other party did not seem to directly take the lives of those armor soldiers, but beat people to maimed and let them go, allowing them to continue to struggle in the cold night, watching death come step by step.
The green blade in the sheath roared softly, just like the state of mind of the white-clothed swordsman at this time.
He straightened his clothes, adjusted his condition, and slowly got up from behind his desk.
On the table next to him, the old man lowered his eyes, only his ears were trembling slightly.
"Mr. Bai Zhen, please don't be impatient."
At this moment, Prince Yan suddenly picked up his wine glass, and said slowly with a calm expression, "There is no light in the winter night, the north wind is calling, but drinking in this environment has a unique charm, this king will give you another glass to dispel the chill around you." ”
The white-clothed swordsman was silent for a moment, but finally sat down and picked up the wine cup in his hand.
Xuyin retracted his gaze and smiled faintly, "The landslide has not changed in front of you, and the prince's qi cultivation kung fu is really admirable." ”
"Now the enemy is hidden in the dark, but we are in the light, knowing ourselves but not the other, so it is better to be still than to move."
Prince Yan drank a cup of Chinese wine, picked up a chopstick of green vegetables and chewed it slowly, "The guards who have followed me for many years were slaughtered, and this king naturally accumulated anger in his heart, and wanted to save them, and then cut the murderer with a thousand knives.
But if you let Mr. Bai go out at this time, it is very likely that he will fall for the other party's trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain and breaking each one. ”
After a pause, he sighed lowly, "Even if we go out together and gather the three grandmasters to join forces to defend against the enemy, it's just that the night outside is dark and windy, and the surrounding environment is unfamiliar, and we don't know what the enemy is.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, I still can't put you in danger for no reason, so it is better to wait here quietly and see what kind of tricks they can use. ”
Xuyin nodded slightly, "What the prince said is very true, then let's wait a little longer to see how calm the other side is." ”
Su Lao raised his eyes, and a little doubt flashed in his eyes, "Just now Vice General Ruan opened the door, and the old man carefully probed and perceived, and what was hidden in the darkness did not seem to be a martial arts master who was born from heaven and man, but more like a martial artist at the level of Xuan sense.
So the old man thought about it, and finally pointed to the only possibility, that is, as the prince said, the enemy hidden in the shadows wants to trick us out, and then it is convenient to take the opportunity to sneak attack. ”
Little by little, time passed.
The banquet room talked in a low voice, and drank slowly, as if there were no dead people outside, or even nothing at all.
In the darkness outside the hall, the screams gradually disappeared, leaving only the cold wind howling from time to time, which became the only movement in the night.
On the roof dozens of meters away, Wei Tao stood silently.
Staring at the brightly lit banquet room in the distance, he had been in this position for a long time.
There are two martial arts masters in the banquet hall, and there is also a kendo master, which can definitely be called extremely powerful.
According to the information previously known, Prince Yan left the heavily guarded mansion to travel, and in most cases, only one grandmaster accompanied the guards, and it was rare for two people to accompany him at the same time.
But this time, it was two grandmasters who were walking together, and the person who met and met was also a martial arts grandmaster, and to be honest, it completely exceeded his expectations.
If he had broken in directly just now, with one enemy and three enemies, he would not dare to say that he was sure of victory, and if he went head-to-head, he might even be defeated and die.
That's why he temporarily retreated in the back, wanting to create an opportunity to separate the other party's people, and then see if he could burst out with all his strength to kill one of them first.
Unexpectedly, the people in the banquet hall were unmoved in the slightest, and did not react to his provocative actions at all.
If he continues to stalemate like this, when the night recedes and the sky will lighten, he will have one less reliance, and it will be even more difficult to make a move at that time.
But if he gives up directly, Prince Yan will definitely become more cautious and cautious in the future, and it will be difficult to find an opportunity similar to tonight.
Wei Tao retracted his breath and fell into deep thought.
As time passed, there was even a retreat in my heart.
He also thought about arson and persecution, but the masonry structure of the banquet hall was not close on all sides, and it was not easy to make it fall into a sea of fire in a short time.
What's more, holding a fire in the night and easily exposing oneself is not a wise move.
Wei Tao's eyes looked around, and suddenly landed on the stone tablet standing in the distance, and his mind flashed and he already had a plan.
Inside the banquet room.
Prince Yan raised his glass again, put it to his lips and drank it down.
At this moment, a dull sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded.
The white-clothed swordsman had already stood up, standing behind the door with his sword in his hand.
The next moment, there was a sudden boom.
The thick and sturdy main entrance of the banquet hall was smashed to pieces, and a square stone more than half a person high roared in, like a cannonball, and in an instant it was already approaching.
At this moment, a cold light lit up.
In an instant, the void room shone brightly, and the Milky Way hung upside down.
Time seemed to stand still in this moment.
The sword light seemed to be in an extremely slow posture, submerging into the stone tablet.
On one side is a snow-like practice, and on the other side is pure blue and black, and the two are staggered, silent.
Click!
It wasn't until the sword completely crossed the stone tablet that there was a crisp and obvious sound, and it suddenly exploded in the banquet hall.
The stele exploded, splitting into large and small pieces, scattering in all directions.
But he didn't move on.
Buzz Buzz Buzz!
In an instant, countless stones roared.
It was all blocked by the cold light that quietly bloomed, as if around the figure of the white-clothed Shengxue, there was a thunder pool waiting for a strict formation, and not even a single gravel could exceed half a step.
The crackling sound was continuous, and a large cloud of smoke and dust swayed, adding another layer of obscurity to the already dark banquet room.
The food and drinks are no longer in the table.
Prince Yan gently put down the wine cup, turned his head and said something to the woman in palace clothes beside him.
The woman in the palace costume nodded slightly, still with a faint smile on her face, she didn't care about everything that happened in front of her, and it didn't affect her graceful posture in the slightest.
At this moment, there was a sudden soft click.
It came from the window on the side of the main entrance of the banquet room.
Su Lao raised his head suddenly, his pupils suddenly contracted.
I saw a figure break through the window frame and fly in from outside.
However, he still sat behind the table and did not even move.
Even Xuyin, who had his back to the window, looked at his nose, nose, mouth, and mouth, and did not pay the slightest attention to the figure behind him.
Boom!
A corpse was like a roaring crossbow, hitting the beams and pillars of the banquet room, and in an instant, the bones of the neck cracked, and the blood burst into a large canopy.
It was a dead man, still wearing full armor, but he had entered the house in such a way that he could not even leave the whole body.
The next moment, more than a dozen corpses shot out of the darkness.
Like the stone tablet that roared and broke the door just now, it was used as a secret weapon to kill.
Swish!
The sword light rose again, reflecting the hall.
The sturdy armor and the bones of the body were like paper paste in front of this cold light, and they were easily cut off and shredded.
Blood splattered, flesh and bones scattered.
Suddenly, a bloody rain blew in the space behind the door.
The swordsman was still dressed in white, and his body was not stained with any dust and blood from beginning to end.
His eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if he was wandering outside of a god, and he seemed to have placed all his thoughts in the three-foot Qingfeng, and the whole person had entered some kind of indescribable enlightenment at this moment.
Suddenly, several terrible screams rang out.
Then he was annihilated in the sword light like snow.
The depths of the swordsman's eyes reflected a few familiar faces.
When he was teaching swordsmanship, his hard work and perseverance left a deep impression on him.
Therefore, the flying armor soldiers behind them did not die, but were controlled by unknown means, allowing the other party to use themselves as hidden weapons to fly and throw, but they could not make any resistance and resistance at all.
"But since you are already like this, it is better to live than to die."
The fluctuation in the white-clothed swordsman's heart was only in an instant, and the sword light became clear again.
No matter what it is from outside, even whether it is a person or a ghost, he will cut it with a sword.
But it was such a momentary fluctuation that he did not expect.
A faint touch of scarlet flashed in the corner of his eye.
At the same time, a speeding corpse suddenly moved.
The timing was just right, just the moment when the white-clothed swordsman's mind flashed.
The "corpse" slapped a palm without warning, but instead of coming towards the white-clothed swordsman, it was imprinted like lightning on the body of another armor soldier on the side.
A thrust surged, and another figure in standard armor and a covered iron helmet suddenly accelerated, and fell towards the ground in front of him.
And the "corpse" that slapped a palm changed direction in an instant with the help of the power of the shock, and it was necessary to avoid a rising sword light.
The swordsman's sword heart is clear, his mind moves at will, and the sword moves at will.
In the face of the sudden change, he did not panic, the sword style quietly changed, and the cold light reversed in an instant.
In just one stroke, the armor soldier who came out of his palm was cut in two, and the blood and internal organs were sprayed and flowed in the air.
"That's not right!"
"If the enemy is disguised as a soldier, how can I easily cut it in two!?"
Between the lightning and flint, the white-clothed swordsman's mind flashed again, and a short sword suddenly appeared in his empty left hand, and he stabbed towards the ground below without looking.
At that moment, there was a muffled thumping sound.
The ground is so turbulent that it feels like you're stepping on water.
The swordsman was unsteady on his footing, and his left-handed sword couldn't help but deviate to the side.
Bang!
Another soldier slammed to the ground, and in an instant the masonry exploded, and smoke and dust rose up.
He twisted his body and dodged the short sword that stabbed at the point by a fraction of a second, only to be grazed by the sword qi, cutting through the armor, leaving a wound on his shoulder that was neither deep nor shallow.
Two swords in a row slashed into the air, and the white-clothed swordsman's heart jumped violently, as if the gunpowder had exploded, and he smelled a violent and dangerous aura.
The spiritual sense of the supreme master and the keen perception of danger made this kendo master make a choice in an instant.
Without any hesitation, his short sword looped, and the sword light was like moonlight, perfectly protecting the lower plate,
The long sword in his right hand suddenly flipped over, changing again and again in the void, following the slightest sense in his heart, and unleashing the most proficient offensive and defensive sword moves.
At the same time, the toes were a little on the ground, and the whole person retreated and rotated, and the sword light that disappeared into full bloom without warning.
The double swords turned round, the figure flashed, and the white-clothed swordsman mentioned the apex with a fierce heart.
It's just that the moment he was ready to meet the other party's earth-shattering attack, the pressure on his mind suddenly relaxed.
The hostility was empty, the signs of danger were gone, as if they had never existed, and vanished without a trace.
For the man did not take advantage of the momentum to counterattack, but continued to move forward like lightning, like a cannonball out of the chamber, towards the man and woman at the main table.
One by one, it came too violently, so that the mentality of the white-clothed swordsman pressed from the top of the mountain, and suddenly he was relieved, and the spirit that had been condensed and elevated before because of this involuntarily appeared a trace of relaxation.
The relaxation of a moment brings a slow step, a slow step.
Therefore, the white-clothed swordsman couldn't change it in one breath, so he could only watch the black, red, and light gold airflow skyrocket, and the figure wrapped in the middle of the armor was torn, and he had already come to the open space in the middle of the banquet hall, and there was only a short jump of distance left from the main table.
Rumble!
The smoke and dust that were blowing in the entire hall were violently torn and turned under the explosion of black and red air currents.
So much so that in the eyes of the white-clothed swordsman, he even saw a huge vortex forming instantly.
And the apex of the tip of the vortex is facing the two Prince Yan on the main table.
A black and red figure emitted a pale golden light, looming in the whirlpool, spreading its hands like sharp claws, and at the same time enveloping the two figures sitting motionless at the back of the table.
Click!
The wine cup in Prince Yan's hand exploded, and the wine liquid turned into water arrows and flew high.
Faced with a grasp that seemed to appear in front of him out of thin air, he still sat on the chair and did not move, even the palace woman next to him, even with a faint smile on his face.
Rumble!
At this moment, the wind howled, pressing from both sides.
A wrinkled, like a withered branch's palm, pierced through the whirlpool and appeared in front of Wei Tao.
Almost at the same time, the phantom of the Xuanwu Divine Beast loomed in the hall, and a large hand that was full and round, like gold and jade, quietly rose from another direction.
Together with that withered palm, one left and one right broke through the darkness.
Rumble!
Suddenly, thousands of scarlet silk threads danced wildly, twisted and intertwined, enveloping Wei Tao's figure.
"It's such a scale of mystical silk!?"
"Who is this person, I really don't feel like I have reached the realm of a grandmaster who has reached the realm of heaven and human incarnation, but he has the combat power to compete head-on with a grandmaster martial artist."
"However, just by himself, do you really think that you can use these tricks to block the alliance of the two grandmasters?"
Xu Yin punched out, and his eyes suddenly turned red, blocking all vision.
The thought flashed in his mind, and he swung his fist and continued to move forward.
The other hand suddenly pointed into a knife, slashing through the crazy dancing silk, and then the sleeve of the robe shook and stretched, quietly closing and hiding the severed silk.
At the same time, the old man's withered claws flashed repeatedly, like an incomparably sharp scythe, emptying a large part of the silk blocking him.
In an instant, the scarlet network collapsed, revealing a figure that radiated a black, red, pale gold glow inside.
Boom!
Wei Tao's eyes were red, murderous, his legs burst into a cloud of blood mist, and at the last moment, he accelerated abruptly, breaking through the whirlpool stirred by himself, and forcibly used the mysterious silk to block it for a moment, surpassing Su Lao and Xuyin by one position.
At the same time, his palms were black and red, and he shot out to the side and back.
Wrapped in an overwhelming momentum, it was heavily imprinted on the claws and fists that attacked from the left and right.
Bang!!!
Another thunderclap exploded.
Su Lao and Xuyin's qi and blood surged, and they retreated to the side and back together.
"Blocked my punch!?"
"Although I didn't do my best, there was still an old man on the side who shot at the same time, and he was eager to protect the master, and he would definitely have no reservations.
As a result, this person faced the two grandmasters joining forces, and it turned out that we couldn't resist and were forced backwards!? ”
Xuyin's eyes were suspicious, his thoughts were surging, and he was slightly distracted for a while.
Su Lao's gaze suddenly sank, his pupils shrank to the size of a pinpoint, and he stared at the black and red intertwined figure.
Seeing his body distort, he accelerated again with the help of the power of the shock, and at this time he was already on the main table in the banquet hall.
Without any hesitation, Wei Tao and Di Shuanglian exerted all their strength, and then after an instantaneous shock, they smashed down towards the two of them at the same time.
Click!
The square table shattered, and the drinks and dishes flew around.
The furious attack that could kill people had already arrived, but Prince Yan was still expressionless.
and the palace woman on the side only raised her head slightly.
At this moment, the two of them sealed with one hand, and the five fingers of the other hand were interlocked, and the qi suddenly soared and interconnected.
Kindness!?
Wei Tao's heart jumped suddenly, and at this moment, he actually smelled a palpitating and dangerous aura.
Whether it was the information he had collected in the early stage, or his perception after he broke into the banquet hall, it could be determined that Prince Yan and his wife were by no means in the realm of the grandmasters of heaven and man.
However, at this moment, the two of them blended their qi together, regardless of each other, but it brought him the experience of facing a martial arts master.
Behind the table, the two of them made a seal with one hand, holding each other.
The man's solemn and majestic eyes, a golden light suddenly flashed, as if a round of scorching sun appeared in the darkness.
The woman was graceful and soft, her cheeks were originally crystal clear, and at this time, they were as cold as the silver moon, which complemented the golden rays, adding a thrilling beauty.
One yin and one yang, yin and yang are combined.
Naturally, a subtle artistic conception of yin and yang is born.
If it is said that the other three grandmasters in the house have overcome many difficulties and obstacles with perseverance, will, talent, chance, etc., and finally reached the realm of grandmasters who are incarnated as heavens and humans.
Then Prince Yan and his wife can be regarded as combining the strength of the two of them, and they have cultivated together with some secret method, reaching the realm of yin and yang harmony and circle as one.
Although if they were taken out individually, any of them would be much worse than other grandmasters, but in this state of integration, they directly reached the level of martial arts grandmasters.
And it's not the kind of flower frame of the Qinglian Sect, but the real yin and yang artistic conception, the power of the grandmaster.
Facing the two of them striking upwards in unison, Wei Tao even felt like he was facing the final blow of the palace.
However, the palace is born with its own power.
Prince Yan and his wife in front of them achieved this effect through some mysterious and weird exercises.
Although they are definitely not as powerful as the palace to shoot with all their might, this kind of artistic conception of yin and yang is the same, and even he can't see the difference.
Wei Tao was moved in his heart, and a trace of emotion rose inexplicably.
He also didn't expect that he had calculated everything, but in the end he didn't count the two people who were the targets of the killing, and they were the biggest threat he would face.
But at this moment, it is ready to be fired.
Either you kill them or you have to be killed by their backhand.
The two sides collided head-on, fighting for life and death, and they could only see who showed more ferocious killing moves.
At the last moment when the twin lotuses fell, Wei Tao met the two gazes like the blazing sun and silver moon, regardless of it, at any cost, and broke out with all his strength without reservation.
The spiritual will was condensed into one, the strength of the whole body was combined in one place, and the blood network nodes in the body were all exploded, and then the cathode secret method Xuanwu True Solution was nineteen concussive combined attacks.
Wrapped in the fury of vowing to overwhelm everything and crush everything, all of them bombarded through the claws of demons.
Not far behind him, Su Lao and the white-clothed swordsman were anxious and desperately coming.
Bang!!!
A thunderbolt exploded in the banquet room.
The entire masonry house is like a pile of bricks, torn apart and disintegrated by a huge force without hindrance.
Reduced to countless pieces of wood and stone, scattered in all directions.
In an instant, the wind was fierce, and the sand was flying.
Even all the surrounding trees were uprooted.
Even the ground cracked widely, like a boiling soup pot, stir-frying the mixed sand and gravel back and forth in it.
From time to time, a dazzling sword light shone from it, like lightning piercing the void and suddenly descending on the world.
All kinds of noises were mixed with the crashing sound like thunder, completely breaking the originally silent night.
Suddenly, a figure shot out from the smoke and dust, and the lotus and herring fish unfolded with all their strength, and in a flash, they crossed a distance of more than ten zhang forward, as if shrinking into inches, pulling out the remnants of the Dao Dao and submerging into the depths of darkness.
Almost in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed out of Vice General Ruan's mansion, and he was still speeding up, speeding away towards the outside of the town.
Everything happens between the lights and the fire.
From Wei Tao pretending to be a soldier to break into the hall, to the white-clothed swordsman who failed to block with two swords, to eating two grandmaster attacks with a treacherous blood net, and finally fighting with Prince Yan and his wife, and then getting rid of the entanglement at any cost.
He didn't even confirm the results, he didn't stop and walked away, the whole process was almost fleeting, and there was no room for hesitation and thinking.
But it left a mess, and the inside and outside of the banquet room were full of ruins.
Originally, there was only a large pit left in the position of the main table.
From beginning to end, Xuyin only blocked it once, and when he saw that he couldn't catch up, he retreated backwards for a distance, and he didn't even participate in the follow-up battle, just stood there motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.
The old man and the swordsman were full of tears, and their beards were all open.
The two of them started to chase after them, but at the same time they stopped abruptly at the edge of the pit.
Carefully remove the mess of earth and rocks, and rescue Prince Yan and his wife from the bottom of the pit.
The woman in the palace costume was as angry as a gossamer, paralyzed on the ground and motionless, obviously suffering heavy injuries, almost on the verge of life and death.
Prince Yan looked a little better, but he was also covered in injuries and his face was gloomy, and there was no trace of blood.
He opened his mouth and spat out a large ball of blood, and his breath was cloudy and said, "Old Su, hurry up and take us back to Beijing and find the best doctor to treat the princess!" ”
"Also, we must investigate, find out who that person is, the lonely king wants him not to die well, and he will punish his nine clans and destroy his whole family!"
"I'm going to let them know what a miserable fate I'm going to end up with......"
Prince Yan said in a fierce voice, but he kept silent without warning.
The next moment, with some difficulty, he raised his arm and touched his brow, which was covered with dirt.
"Why, I feel a little burning in the center of my eyebrows, and some uncontrollable soreness and tingling?"
He gasped, his eyes widened as he looked at his fingers, "No, why is my blood this strange grayish color?" ”
Su Lao looked at it and was immediately shocked.
I only saw Prince Yan's eyebrows, and after wiping off the contaminated dust, a small hole was clearly visible, and a sticky brain was still bubbling outward.
Not far away, Xu Yin's eyes flashed, and his expression was thoughtful.
He recounted over and over again the fleeting brief encounter just now.
Whether it was the scarlet-colored Mystic Silk, or the hidden hole card killing moves of Prince Yan and his wife, as well as the concussive combined attack that broke out at the end of the figure, he felt extremely surprised and surprised.
In particular, the secret method of combining attacks not only broke the artistic conception of Yin and Yang of Prince Yan and his wife, but more importantly, it made him see a trace of the true solution of Xuanwu from it.
So, who is this man who is wearing military armor and covered by an iron helmet, and why can he carry the secret of Xuanwudao?
"Old Su, Lone is going to die soon."
After such a moment, Prince Yan's eyes were dark, and he couldn't stabilize his body anymore, so he sat down slowly.
"Don't worry, the old slave will definitely cure you."
Su Lao Lao was in tears and spoke incoherently, "Before, the head of Dingxuanluo had seen the face of the prince, and he personally said that the prince was surrounded by stars, and his identity was indescribably expensive, but it was the number of ninety-five......"
"Don't talk about it, old man."
Prince Yan seemed to want to laugh, but in the end he just sighed, "At that time, Luo Qingjun had already become like that, she couldn't even care about her own life or death, how could what she said be true?" ”
"If I am not here, I am afraid that Qinglong alone will not be able to suppress the scene, and those people will definitely have a heart of disobedience, especially the Chengbei Manor, you must be cautious.
After going back, find Qinglong, protect his and the princess's lives, and take them away from the capital if they can't, as long as they can return to Gyeongju, everything still has room for maneuver. ”
Speaking of this, Prince Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Remember, you must put what should be released, leave enough things for them to grab, so that they can have a greater chance of saving their lives, as long as they can wait for chaos to arise, there will still be ......"
Before he could finish his words, his voice faded away, and his head slowly drooped, having lost all breath of life.
Almost at the same time, a large stream of blood overflowed from the mouth of the woman in the palace costume, and her body trembled slightly a few times, but there was no movement.
Su Lao's eyes suddenly darkened, and he could barely maintain a standing posture, and he could only stabilize his body by holding on to the fallen beams and pillars on the side.
"That guy, he can't run far, the old man must break him into pieces!"
His eyes were red, as if he was crazy, and he turned his head to look in the direction where Wei Tao had disappeared.
