Volume 2 Chapter 180 - Pursuit in the Night (1)
Xing Yueying hadn't answered yet, and Yan Mu in the back said coldly: "Hmph, I don't want to be in the company of despicable villains." ”
Ling Tianxiao said in surprise: "I don't know where the word despicable comes from? ”
Yan Mu's eyes flashed, and he said unhappily: "Did I say something wrong?" Isn't it the act of a despicable villain that you deceived me in the inn and embarrassed me in public? ”
Ling Tianxiao didn't expect him to be obsessed with this matter, and he didn't know how to respond for a while, but Xing Yueying turned his head, glanced at Yan Mu coldly, and said in a low voice: "Didn't I tell you that he saved your life?" If he hadn't been there, you would have cut off Su Huan's brain, how could you still talk here. ”
Yan Mu glared at her, disapprovingly: "Hmph, don't try to lie to me, anyway, you must win in an unsightly way." Ling Tianxiao was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that Yan Mu had passed out at that time, so he didn't see the whole situation at all.
Xing Yue Yingyu was cold, and said angrily: "He won with his real ability, you are just jealous of him when you say this, you just don't want to admit that your skills are not as good as others." ”
Yan Mu's face was blue for a while, white for a while, and his two thick eyebrows stood up like needles, and he said sharply: "What did you say!" Seeing that the two were arguing, Duan Yujin reluctantly persuaded the two on the grounds that there were dark clouds and sudden snow would fall at any time.
After a long time, the four of them finally got on the road again, and by the time they saw an inn on the side of the road, it was already noon the next day. The shopkeeper looked up and saw that their cloaks were covered with snow, and knew that they must have been on their way overnight, so he asked if they wanted to go to the tip or stay.
At this time, Yan Mu and Xing Yueying's opinions were different, Yan Mu wanted to get on the road quickly, so he chose to play sharp, but Xing Yueying wanted to replenish her strength and insisted on staying overnight. Fortunately, there was a torrential snow outside, and in desperation, Yan Mu had to give up his opinion. The shopkeeper arranged four upper rooms, and each person lived in one room.
After settling down for a while, Ling Tianxiao lay on the bed, glanced at the heavy snow outside the window, and closed his eyes. By the time I woke up, it was late afternoon. The snow is still falling outside, but the momentum has diminished considerably. Because he was hungry, Ling Tianxiao walked out of the door, and as soon as he stepped down the stairs, he felt that something was wrong.
Ling Tianxiao remained silent, and swept around, not only was the inn unusually quiet, but there was no half a figure around, which was very treacherous. At the same time, the other doors were also opened, and the probes were Duan Yujin, Xing Yueying, Yan Mu and others.
Several people looked at each other, thinking almost the same thing, so they became vigilant. When everyone came to the first floor, the surrounding windows were wide open, a gust of cold wind blew in their faces, and the oil lamp on the table was instantly extinguished. Suddenly, several black shadows quickly rushed in, and everyone could see at a glance that they were not good, and they all held their swords and set up a fight.
Yan Mu couldn't hold his breath, and rushed forward to make a preemptive strike, the two black-clothed men who were tightly wrapped all over their bodies, only revealing thick eyebrows and big eyes, drew their swords to greet each other, and the three of them immediately scuffled, swords and swords, flashing brightly.
Duan Yujin shook the sleeves of his hands lightly, showed his light skills, and swept towards the second floor, intending to gather momentum. Unexpectedly, there was also an ambush on the second floor, and two men in black came out of the empty room and swung knives at him. Duan Yujin was calm, bullied up, grabbed the pulse of one of the black-clothed people with his backhand, and pushed him downstairs with a trick of four or two thousand catties.
Seeing this, the other person sat on his horse with a heavy waist and slashed out, Duan Yujin was not in a hurry, turned around, kicked his strong legs in the face, and kicked him downstairs. Duan Yujin took a deep breath, flew up, stepped on the railing with both feet, and looked down.
The battle below was already inextricable, and the four men in black besieged Xing Yueying, Xing Yueying knew that she was outnumbered, she flicked her long sword, and ran out of a bloody road.
Out of the inn, the outside is wide and huge, and there is moonlight shining on it, so you can finally see the figure of the enemy clearly. Xing Yue raised her breath violently, screamed, her figure stretched slightly, and with a swipe of the long sword in her palm, she pointed at the chest of the man in black like lightning.
The man in black had been waiting for a long time, and he swarmed up and surrounded him. Although Xing Yueying is not an ordinary person, she still feels unbearable in the face of the attack of four people. Not only that, but she also found that these people had strange knife skills, and she had never seen this kind of trick so far.
Ling Tianxiao was originally entangled by the two of them in the inn, and found that Xing Yueying rushed out, worried that she would be besieged, and with a little effort, the entangled two people were repelled one after another, and immediately chased out.
The four black-clothed men who surrounded and suppressed Xing Yueying almost succeeded, but unfortunately Ling Tianxiao was killed halfway. Ling Tianxiao stood with his sword in his hand, exuding a terrifying momentum on his body, looking forward to it, he was mighty.
The man in black raised his sword and stepped forward, Ling Tianxiao didn't say a word, he threw off his sleeves, and the purple sword in his hand burst out. Ling Tianxiao's attack was as fast as lightning, the sword was pressing, and in an instant, the four black-clothed men each slashed their swords and let out a miserable scream.
Seeing that the man in black was injured, unable to hold the long knife, and looking like he had lost his combat power, Ling Tianxiao knew that the victory was in his hands, and he was not in a hurry to knock him down for a while.
The man in black saw his intentions, worried that Ling Tianxiao was going to take out their words, so he glanced at each other and stepped back. Ling Tianxiao couldn't help but wonder, these people should know that their light skills were not as good as him, so why did they run away? In less than a moment, the answer was about to come out, because another man in black appeared.
The man in black spoke in a calm tone and said in a low voice: "What a handsome swordsmanship, I don't know what to call it?" Ling Tianxiao was stunned when he heard this, although this person deliberately changed his voice when he spoke, he still couldn't hide his peculiar accent, so he judged that he was not from the Central Plains.
Ling Tianxiao looked at the knife on his waist, the edge of the scabbard was facing upward, the blade seemed to be narrow and long, and the curvature was high, and suddenly his mind flashed, remembering that he had fought against Dongying Swordsman many years ago, and frowned: "Could it be that you are from Dongying?" ”
The man in black didn't pretend anymore, resumed his original voice, and sneered: "Very good, at least let you die clearly, and it won't take advantage of you." ”
Ling Tianxiao smiled and said, "How do you know that I will definitely die?" ”
Under the stars and moon, the man in black flashed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth sneered: "If you don't die, then I die." As soon as these words came out, his wrist was reversed, and a hidden weapon was instantly released.
Ling Tianxiao was a veteran in the end, and he turned around and flashed, immediately avoiding the hidden weapon. The man in black screamed, his right hand was raised outward, and the blade of the knife was quickly pulled out in one breath, which was exactly the knife drawing technique used by the Dongying people. Ling Tianxiao's sword eyebrows furrowed, a wisp of sharp wind came in a hurry, he knew that this move should not be underestimated, he raised his sword and waved, and suddenly the sword aura was rampant, and the sword momentum was terrifying.
With a bang, the man in black didn't expect him to choose to fight head-on, his eyes were fixed, and he rushed forward. He suddenly felt the sound of the wind moving rapidly, and it turned out to be Ling Tianxiao's sword move, which swept from his side cheek. The man in black was surprised, shook his backhand and flicked away the sword qi.
Generally speaking, the sword drawing technique is a sacrificial move, but the man in black knew that Ling Tianxiao was a master, so he didn't use all his strength, and it was precisely because of this that he was able to turn attack into defense and defuse Ling Tianxiao's fierce sword moves.
In just one move, Ling Tianxiao could see that the other party's mind was delicate, which was by no means comparable to those people in Fang Cai. He stabilized his breath, transferred the internal force to the sword in his hand, and put on a posture.
The man in black walked a few steps, the tip of the knife downward, flashed out, and saw a cold light, rushing towards him like thunder. In an instant, the tip of the knife was up to his throat, but only half an inch away.
Ling Tianxiao's face was as cold as water, and he flipped over the tiger's body, his right hand protruded, and the long sword slashed down. The man in black was not surprised, and he slashed upward, and the sound of swords and slashing burst out, which was extremely piercing. But seeing that Ling Tianxiao used his strength to use his strength, he jumped into the air while flicking off the sword body, and after a neat circle, he swept to the back of the man in black.
The man in black intuitively felt the cool breeze in his neck whistling, and he knew that something was wrong, so he swirled lightly with his wrist and slashed twice. Ling Tianxiao swung his sword obliquely, and shook the sword momentum twice. Ling Tianxiao saw that he intended to put away the knife and rushed forward, but the man in black thought that he was going to attack the road, so he placed the knife on his chest.
This move hit Ling Tianxiao's arms, he slashed hard, accompanied by the sword body to hit the internal force on the knife, the man in black was hit hard by the force of the rebound, the tiger's mouth was in severe pain, and his wrist was sore, so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back and regrouped his situation.
Ling Tianxiao didn't know much about Dongying's sword technique, and made up his mind in his heart not to let him use it, so he adopted a rapid attack method, and the sword moves were fired in succession, gushing out like a fountain. The man in black saw that he looked like a ghost and his swordsmanship was unpredictable, and he was shocked and inadvertently used all his strength to meet the enemy.
The black-clothed man's sword skills are swift and incoherent, treacherous and strange, if he is a friend with martial arts, Ling Tianxiao will definitely be willing to compete with him, but the other party kills frequently, if he is a light enemy, he is only afraid of death, this price is too great.
Ling Tianxiao's offensive method is like a tiger pounceing on a rabbit, and his defensive position is like a hard turtle shell, both offensive and defensive, and the man in black is neither able to resist nor counterattack. The man in black knew that if he continued like this, he would eventually reveal a flaw for a while, so he turned his heart horizontally, shrank on the ground, and the blade of the knife slashed up from below, and quickly slashed again.
Of course, Ling Tianxiao didn't know the origin of this sword technique, but he understood that this move was extremely powerful and terrifying. Although he dodged this knife move, most of his clothes were torn open by the knife qi, revealing half of his arm. Ling Tianxiao was shocked in his heart, the tiger's waist twisted, his backhand luck, and the internal force was continuously injected into the sword body, and this time he used seventy percent of his strength. The man in black couldn't figure out what tricks he was playing, but he felt that things were not good, so he stepped forward, but it was too late.
Ling Tianxiao flipped his wrist, and the sword qi swept out from the tip of the sword, and the man in black was surprised, and retreated, but unfortunately the sword qi was too fast, and when he raised the knife to resist, he had already hit the nine sword forces on his body.
The man in black was stunned, and immediately spit out blood, and the blood beads splashed on the ground like flower petals, condensing with the cold air. Ling Tianxiao's move was his own martial arts, and it was also a proud move, called Lingyun Nine Swords. On that day, he roamed the rivers and lakes, and he used this trick to show his prestige, which made the people in the rivers and lakes frightened.
Seeing that it was not an opponent, the man in black picked up his knife again and fled.
Ling Tianxiao had only been fighting with him for a few rounds, and found that his sword technique was unexpected, and he was secretly ambushed, not an orthodox Dongying warrior, but a Dongying ninja. He understood that ninjutsu was vast and profound, and one of its moves was treacherous and changeable, and one of them was to cover with smoke bombs, so he kept staring at the hand of the man in black, not planning to let him escape by chance.
