Volume 2 Chapter 178 The Golden Knife Thief (1)
After learning from Ling Tianxiao that Su Huan would take revenge, Li Zhan didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurried home after confessing. Ling Tianxiao originally planned to leave like this, but was blocked by Xing Yueying. She raised her beautiful eyes, and after pondering for a long time, she showed an apologetic expression, and said helplessly: "I know that you must look down on me, and I really want to save him, but I really can't do anything at that time." ”
Ling Tianxiao shook his head and said, "You guessed wrong, I won't blame you at all." You are not related to him, there is no need to save him in the first place, because you care about the eyes of others and come to the rescue, that is just a kind of hypocrisy. Besides, you know Su Huan and know that it is definitely not his opponent, so it is common sense for you not to make a move, and no one has the right to blame you. ”
Xing Yue sighed: "But you still saved him, didn't you?" ”
Ling Tianxiao smiled slightly and said, "The reason why I dare to fight him is because I am sure of victory. His voice was clear, his words were like a bell, and he spoke with great confidence.
Xing Yueying said tentatively, "Are you really not considering joining our Imperial Sword Sect's disciples?" ”
Ling Tianxiao was puzzled: "Why are you so persistent? ”
Xing Yue sighed slightly, and said with a light sigh: "It's not a secret, in recent days, there have been constant turmoil in the rivers and lakes, and the hatred between the Heavenly Sword Alliance and the Absolute Sword Cliff is increasing day by day, and everyone in each faction is in danger, constantly recruiting new blood in an attempt to strengthen themselves, so as not to be coveted by others. ”
Ling Tianxiao raised his eyes lightly and said with a wry smile: "I don't ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes for many years. He stopped talking, and turned away.
Xing Yue winced her apricot eyes and exclaimed, "Where are you going?" ”
Ling Tianxiao said indifferently: "If my guess is right, he will do something to Li Zhan tonight, if I leave now, I may have time to stop him from killing innocents." ”
Xing Yueying's color changed: "Is this true? ”
Ling Tianxiao shook his head and sighed lightly, "He's a person who can't hold his breath, I guess he will probably do this." ”
Between thoughts, Xing Yue pondered for a long time, and then suddenly said, "Can I go with you?" ”
The two looked at each other, Ling Tianxiao looked at her, only to feel that her beautiful eyes were full of guilt, and she couldn't help but sigh: "I have already said it, you don't have to feel guilty about it." ”
Xing Yueying sighed and said, "Just think that I want to do my part to make myself feel better, is it okay?" ”
Ling Tianxiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then let me ask you, what can you do after you go?" ”
Xing Yueying was suddenly asked by him, and she was speechless. She whispered for a moment, then took a breath and said, "Our Imperial Sword Sect has recently accepted a batch of new disciples, and it just so happens that there is a shortage of people to forge swords, so I can give him a letter of recommendation." ”
Ling Tianxiao turned his gaze, looked straight at Xing Yueying, pondered for a long time, and said, "Okay, but you have to remember not to come nonsense, everything must be nodded by me before you can act, do you understand?" Xing Yue was stunned, although she was a little reluctant, but if she wanted to deal with Su Huan, she had to rely on Ling Tianxiao, and after several struggles, she finally compromised.
Just when the two reached a consensus, Duan Yujin flicked his sleeves slightly, and said slowly: "Since the two of you are interested, then I won't bother the two of you to go to save people, you go together, I will wait for your good news at the inn." ”
Ling Tianxiao raised his eyebrows and wondered, "You won't accompany me?" ”
Duan Yujin's thoughts paused slightly, looking up at the sky, the dim sky, like the light of a candle, looking down at the earth. He swept his slender sideburns and smiled lightly: "You took this responsibility, and you didn't ask my opinion first, and besides, you may have blood on your hands when you go this time, and the monks are merciful, please forgive me for refusing." ”
Ling Tianxiao said in a snorted voice: "You wine and meat monk, only now have you used Buddhist disciples as a shield. ”
Duan Yujin said disapprenousively: "Good luck." ”
Seeing Duan Yujin's clothes swaying slightly and leaving freely, Xing Yueying couldn't help frowning: "Is he really your friend?" ”
Ling Tianxiao smiled and said, "There are many kinds of friends in this world, friends don't have to be born and die with you, and they don't necessarily have to be by your side all day long, they also have other friends and their own lives. He glanced around and asked, "What about your own friends?" ”
Xing Yueying's heart moved, and she suddenly remembered Yan Mu, she turned her head to look, her eyes moved, Yan Mu, who was supposed to be with her, disappeared at some point, and he couldn't be seen around. Xing Yueying raised her eyebrows and said unhappily: "This guy rarely goes down the mountain, and Bacheng is attracted by something strange." ”
Ling Tianxiao raised his left hand slightly, scratched his nose, and said with an indifferent smile: "It seems that your friend doesn't plan to accompany you either." Having said that, I think he is the same age as you, and you were so worried about his safety before, could it be that you are a pair of lovers? ”
Xing Yueying's eyes widened, and she said angrily: "Don't be kidding, I just have a bad relationship with him." She said softly, with a helpless expression: "The two of us were born in the same village since childhood, and our two families live nearby. ”
Ling Tianxiao put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "It sounds like a childhood sweetheart, could it be that you still have a marriage contract?" ”
Xing Yueying's face turned pale, and she bit her lip and said, "I don't admit that kind of thing." She did not refute this, which meant that the marriage contract was indeed a thing.
Ling Tianxiao looked at her indignant look, and estimated that she was also very reluctant, so he didn't continue to ask. The two chatted for a while, and it wasn't until night came that Ling Tianxiao inquired about Li Zhan's residence. On the way, Xing Yueying was deeply interested in him, and kept asking about personal matters, so that he had no choice but to use light skills to distance himself from her.
In an instant, when he came to Li Zhan's residence outside the city, Ling Tianxiao was radiant, but Xing Yueying was out of breath. Ling Tianxiao smiled bitterly and said, "This is a lesson, so that you don't want to inquire into other people's private affairs. ”
Xing Yueying said angrily: "You rely on light skills and deceive people wantonly, what is the difference between you and Su Huan?" Ling Tianxiao couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, but because he knew that she was talking angry, he didn't plan to refute her.
The two moved quietly, hiding beside a wooden fence, from which they could see a simple house made of thatch and bricks. Through the open windows and the light of the fire, they could clearly see that Li Zhan was constantly moving, seemingly packing his bags with his wife, Tao Hong.
For a long time, Li Zhan carried a heavy bamboo basket full of things, pulled the donkey cart with one hand, and led Tao Hong with the other. Ling Tianxiao took a closer look, although Tao Hong was dressed plainly and did not use rouge, she still couldn't hide her beautiful face, no wonder Su Huan wanted her. Thinking of what the world often says, Ling Tianxiao shook his head secretly and smiled bitterly.
Just as the two of them had just left the house, they had not walked a few feet when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves not far away. Li Zhan raised his eyes and saw Su Huan galloping over. In less than a moment, he had already come to the two of them, Le Ma stopped, and sneered: "Seeing that you are in such a hurry, where do you want to go?" ”
Li Zhan's heart jumped, and he said in a trembling voice: "My friend and I are sick in bed, and I want to visit him." ”
Su Huan shook his head, jumped off the horse, glanced at Tao Hong, and said, "Since this is the case, then you should hurry up and set off, and your wife will be taken care of by me." Without waiting for Li Zhan to answer, his eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "I can say it first, you have no room for bargaining, do you understand?" ”
Li Zhan saw that he was aggressive, and suddenly his anger came up, and he said, "Why do you have to pester me? ”
Su Huan laughed and said sharply: "Whoever told your wife to look like a flower, blame her!" I only wanted to borrow her to stay with me for a few days, but today you found someone to torture me in the market, and I can't spare you anything. ”
Li Zhan knew that his murderous intent had risen, and he was shocked, but he didn't have a problem with him. He glanced at Tao Hong and said apologetically: "Alas, it's all my fault for being incompetent and not being able to protect you well, if there is an afterlife, let's continue the frontier!" Just as the two were about to be martyred, a figure quickly rushed out from behind Su Huan.
Su Huan's laughter stopped suddenly, and he pulled out the golden knife and slashed back, and a crisp sound echoed in the night sky. The moonlight fell and shone on the face of the person who came, and Xing Yue looked at it, and the person was Yan Mu. Su Huan looked at him and said coldly: "I already knew that you were following me." ”
Yan Mu pondered for a long time, and after a long time, Fang Zi raised his head, raised his eyebrows, pointed the tip of his sword forward, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that the Golden Dao Gate was actually some shameless people, bullying others. ”
Su Huan's broad palm, tightly gripping the hilt of the knife, sneered: "What kind of hero are you who sneak up on me from behind?" When he smiled, he showed a row of gold teeth. He looked at Yan Mu for a moment and said contemptuously, "I recognize your outfit, you are from the Edgeworth Sect?" On that day, your senior brother stood up for you, and you were hit by my swords several times, are you here to take revenge? ”
Yan Mu's eyes were as gloomy as the deep sea, staring directly at Su Huan, sometimes angry, sometimes calm. The withered branches swaying nearby, the shadows of the trees swaying, as quiet as death, and the oncoming cold wind hit his body, revealing a terrifying aura of slaughter. Anyone who is stared at by such sharp eyes will inevitably be wary, but Su Huan still looks calm.
Yan Mu lifted his robe, his long body stomped up, and swept two feet in front of Su Huan. His wrist swirled lightly, and the red silk tied to the hilt of his sword fluttered in the night sky, and the sword glittered.
Su Huan didn't say a word, sat on his horse with a heavy waist, and suddenly slashed out three knives, and the shadow of the knife came like an electric potential, almost faster than the hidden weapon. Yan Mu couldn't imagine that he would attack with an attack, gritted his teeth, and cut it down. Sword after sword, like a sweep, or like a straight split, Yan Mu tried hard to break his moves, but he didn't succeed.
Su Huan slanted his eyebrows, his waist was slightly twisted, his left hand moved, and the knife technique seemed to be a violent wind, like a shower, this knife technique was the world-famous storm knife of the Golden Knife Gate.
Su Huan laughed wildly and mocked at the same time, and when he stepped on his feet, the blade suddenly rolled up, like layers of dense clouds. He slashed out, and the wind whistled and struck heavily on Yan Mu's sword, as loud as thunder, shaking him away several steps.
Xing Yueying on the side gasped, she recognized that this was the Thunder Knife Technique, and her senior brother was attacked by this trick at the beginning, because after a little flash, she was stabbed in the chest.
Sure enough, as Xing Yueying expected, after Su Huan cut out this knife, he instantly made up for it, just like that day. Yan Mu was also present at the time, so he had already taken precautions against this move, and he shrank back and barely avoided it.
Although Su Huan was surprised that this trick didn't succeed, he still calmed down, steady his pace, and bullied forward. His knife skills were so fast that he caught people off guard, and after Yan Mu blocked a few knives, he stumbled and fell.
Su Huan was overjoyed when he saw the hunt, and with a wave of the big knife, Ling Tianxiao leaned out at the last moment. His sword light flashed, and one sword seemed to have turned into hundreds, and the sword was like a wind, and the moves were terrifying. Su Huan had never encountered this kind of sword move, and he couldn't bear it for a while, and he retreated in defeat after defeat. Ling Tianxiao shook his body, swept a few feet behind, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that we were really destined to meet again so soon." ”
Su Huan raised the corners of his eyebrows, and said angrily: "It's you again!" ”
Su Huan took a deep breath, turned his body halfway, and slashed at him three times with his backhand. Helplessly, Ling Tianxiao's body and sword qi were really indescribable. Su Huan was repeatedly broken by him, his sharpness decreased sharply, and his knife momentum fell to the upper hand unconsciously.
Ling Tianxiao's gaze was like lightning, and his sword momentum changed several times, and he made a move to kill, and lightning shot out. Immediately, the winner could be decided, and Su Huan was sweating on the spot, and he was surprised.
Ling Tianxiao jumped and swept to the house, and when Su Huan's eyes looked up, Ling Tianxiao flew down. Su Huan steadied his horse and raised his knife high, Ling Tianxiao first feinted, and then circled below. Su Huan didn't expect him to make this move, the door of the next three roads was wide open, Ling Tianxiao held the sword fiercely, only to hear the sound of his skin being cut by the blade, and when he lowered his head again, blood was already flowing from his lower body.
Su Huan shuddered, his legs were limp and he knelt on the ground, holding his lower body and wailing in pain.
Ling Tianxiao flicked his wrist, and the blood beads stained on the tip of the sword splashed all over the ground, and he said casually: "Your harmful thing has been cut off, and you will never be able to humiliate your wife from now on." ”
Su Huan wanted to speak, but due to excessive pain, his face was pale, his body was constantly twitching, and he couldn't speak. After a while, he fainted in pain, and his whole body was like a dead spider, curled up and fell to the ground.
Li Zhan's chest rose and fell slightly, and he said in surprise: "He, is he dead?" ”
Ling Tianxiao slowly turned his gaze, shook his head and said, "He has a strong physique, and he is a person who has been practicing martial arts for many years, this alone is not enough to take his life, he just lost too much blood and fainted after losing his physical strength for a while." I'll let the government know so he can save his life. ”
Xing Yue frowned, stepped forward and said, "Why did a person like him who did a lot of evil leave him alive?" ”
Ling Tianxiao's eyes looked into the distance, and the night ahead was gloomy, as if snow was about to fall again. He pondered for a long time and said with a wry smile: "It is precisely because he is a great traitor that he cannot be allowed to die easily. From now on, he had two choices, one was to reform himself, and the other was to be spurned. ”
Xing Yue was stunned for a moment, and wondered, "Why was he spurned?" ”
Ling Tianxiao smiled and said, "He is usually arrogant and domineering, but now that I have cut off that thing, his confidence will definitely be greatly reduced, and he will make the knife haze in the future." If others know that his sword skills are not as good as before, and that he has become a eunuch, they will laugh at him. ”
