After a while, Shangquan Zhenzong was shocked to realize that something was wrong, and just as he was about to take action, Ling Tianxiao's eyes opened angrily and rushed forward. Shangquan Zhenzong held the knife in both hands, raised it high above his head, and slashed downward, and the sword qi instantly cut the ground.

Ling Tianxiao leaped into the air, swung his long sword, and the nine qi qi flew away, which was exactly the Lingyun Nine Swords that he was most proud of. As a supreme master, even if he has never seen this move, he knows very well that this move should not be underestimated. He condensed his internal strength and swung his sword to block the gear, but he didn't expect the nine sword qi to merge into one, and he drilled down to him and slashed at his knee.

Although Shangquan Zhenzong slashed off most of the sword qi, it was still not completely blocked, and his knee was severely injured by the sword qi on the spot, causing him to kneel down on one knee in pain. Ling Tianxiao saw the opportunity, a sword slashed, Shangquan Zhenzong sacrificed his body to swing a knife to block, Ling Tianxiao did not avoid it, a sword slashed on his right shoulder, and he was also slashed in the abdomen by a katana.

The two distanced themselves and ostensibly injured each other, but Kamiizumi Shinjong was obviously seriously injured, and blood flowed down in pools. He looked at the injuries on his body, and was annoyed, if Hojo Sachiko hadn't sneaked up on him, the soft armor on his body would not be discovered, so that Ling Tianxiao would not pick a part to attack, causing him to lose the hole cards he had stolen.

Ling Tianxiao snorted coldly, and slashed the sword again, this time the attack and defense were exchanged, but Shangquan Zhenzong seemed to be unable to hold on, the middle qi was insufficient, and it was obvious that the end of the strong crossbow was unsustainable. He was sweating like rain, his moves were powerless, the actual moves accounted for less, and the false moves accounted for more, and in the end he was constantly beaten, and his whole body was bloody, and his face was painful and hideous.

Shangquan Zhenzong glanced to the side, originally wanted to press his hope on Takeda Maru's body, but he saw Duan Yujin wave the long knife in his hand, and Takeda Maru's hands were broken and flew away, and the situation was several times worse than him, as if he was in purgatory on earth.

Kamiizumi Shinmune was stunned, his shoulders trembled, and in order to preserve his last dignity, he raised his knife and planned to cut his abdomen. Suddenly, Sachiko Hojo bounced off the katana with a dart, stepped forward and said, "If you want to die like this, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

Shangquan Zhenzong's voice suddenly became hoarse, and he said in shock: "You, what else do you want to do?" ”

Sachiko Hojo was silent, walked behind him, threw a dart into the back of his neck, and glared at him with a pair of powerful eyes: "This is a poison that I spent half a year developing, and it will make you worse than dead, like ten thousand ants drilling into your heart, until you can't bear it anymore and die in pain." ”

Ling Tianxiao was stunned, and said with a great sense of inappropriateness: "You can't kill him, I haven't asked the mastermind behind it yet." ”

Sachiko Hojo bit her lip and said hatefully: "Don't waste your efforts, I know these people too well, they would rather die than reveal half a word." ”

Although Ling Tianxiao wanted to convince her, Hojo Sachiko seemed to have turned into a hellish ghost at this moment, and her jade face was cold. She stared at the painful and struggling Kamizumi Shinzong, and there was a raging anger in her eyes, and she couldn't hide her hatred and murderous intent anymore.

In the dim mountain forest, Ling Tianxiao and Duan Yujin buried the corpses, and after everything was in order, Ling Tianxiao looked up at him, raised the question in his heart, and wondered, "How did you find them?" ”

Duan Yujin smiled indifferently and said, "I was wandering the streets that day, although they covered their faces with hats, but under an accident, I happened to see their katana hidden in the black cloth. ”

Ling Tianxiao was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I knew that you were also involved in this matter, so I don't have to be so tired." ”

Duan Yujin also smiled, shook his head and said, "Why don't I think so, if I know that you are also here, I can first find an inn to drink him for three days and two nights, and after I wake up, you will naturally settle the matter." ”

Ling Tianxiao glared at him, feeling both angry and funny: "If you don't make a move, I'm afraid you'll come to mourn." Speaking of which, what's next for you? ”

Duan Yujin raised his head, yawned, looked at him with a smile, and said flatly: "Although the abbot gave me this task, he didn't set a deadline, so I plan to spend a few days here." ”

Ling Tianxiao frowned, and suddenly said, "Or do you want to go to the Famous Sword Villa with me?" ”

Duan Yujin was stunned for a long time, then suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "You're afraid that you didn't break your head, right?" It's a famous sword villa, and I'm a swordsman, if I go over there, wouldn't it be a sheep into the tiger's mouth? ”

Ling Tianxiao let out a long sigh and said with a calm face: "What do you mean by this, is that to separate from me?" ”

Duan Yujin patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, people have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny. In life, many things are fateful, and three years can be survived, so why worry about the day when we don't meet again? ”

Ling Tianxiao nodded and said, "You are not bad at all. ”

Duan Yujin looked at him and said earnestly: "You better go back to rest earlier, you were also injured just now, right?" These people's knives are very sharp, and you'd better take the medicine early to avoid unsightly scars. ”

Ling Tianxiao said disappreciably: "That's a man's trophy, what is there to hide?" Do you think I'm ugly and don't associate with me if you have a few more scars? Duan Yujin was stunned by what he said, and immediately burst out laughing.

Ling Tianxiao turned to look at Sachiko Hojo, who was kneeling on the ground in despair, her eyes staring at the pile of loess. She was silent for a long time, turned her head, her heart was sour, and suddenly said: "I finally took revenge, but I feel very empty in my heart. ”

Ling Tianxiao said in a deep voice: "Your revenge has been avenged, I am distressed here. ”

Sachiko Hojo was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Ling Tianxiao sighed lightly and said, "I wanted to take him back to torture him, but you killed him, and now that the clues are all broken, don't you think you should compensate me?" ”

Sachiko Hojo couldn't help but smile when she saw that he was exaggerating, and she seemed to be relieved as soon as she heard this laughter. Sachiko Hojo returned to her former appearance, blinked her beautiful eyes, and chuckled, "If that's all there is to it, then I can really help." She took out a rolled-up piece of paper from her bosom, slowly spread it out, and said, "This letter was supposed to be handed over to Shangquan Shinmune, but I stopped it from the pigeon. ”

Ling Tianxiao took the paper, looked at it, and frowned, "I can't understand the words on it." ”

Sachiko Hojo smiled: "Of course you can't understand it, this is not the word of you Central Plains people." She explained: "This letter says that everything is ready, and after the Shangquan True Sect goes up the mountain, the various sects can be defeated one by one. ”

Ling Tianxiao was surprised: "What did you say?" He looked down thoughtfully, at the words on the paper, with a look of concern and suspicion on his face.

Sachiko Hojo pursed her lips and said unhappily: "You don't believe me? ”

Before Ling Tianxiao could speak, Duan Yujin stepped forward, took the paper, and after taking a look, said, "She's right, that's what is indeed written on the paper." ”

Sachiko Hojo was surprised: "Can you read the words on it?" ”

Duan Yujin smiled slightly and said, "I have converted to Buddhism since I was a child, and I was sent to Dongying for a year to exchange Buddhism with the people on the island, so I know these words to some extent. ”

Ling Tianxiao frowned and interrupted: "If what he said is true, then it is very likely that this letter came from the Famous Sword Villa, which means that there is indeed an inner ghost, maybe that person is hidden in the sect." ”

Sachiko Hojo bowed her head and said, "It's really possible." ”

Ling Tianxiao asked, "Who wrote this letter?" ”

Sachiko Hojo shook her head and said helplessly: "There is no signature on the letter, and there are no other marks. ”

Ling Tianxiao said disappointedly: "Let's go back first." ”

After Ling Tianxiao and Duan Yujin separated, Sachiko Hojo followed him and returned to the Famous Sword Villa. On the way, the snow fell suddenly, and the two were forced to find a tree hole, and barely squeezed into the two to block the snow. Because the weather was cold, the two hugged each other to keep warm, and unconsciously, the two of them hugged more and more tightly, compared to the cold outside, the inside was as warm as spring. Hojo Sachiko leaned on his chest and said softly, "Alas, if you are not from the Central Plains, I may be able to take you back." ”

Ling Tianxiao was surprised and said, "Are you leaving?" ”

Sachiko Hojo nodded slightly, and said helplessly: "I'm a little tired of the killing here, and I'm also a little homesick, and I may raise this matter with my master soon." ”

Ling Tianxiao was puzzled, "Is he willing to let you go?" ”

Sachiko Hojo sighed quietly: "I guess he shouldn't want to, so I'm going to find a way to cheat death." However, I don't want to leave my eldest brother alone, he is a bit paranoid, and I am afraid that he will not go back with me. ”

Although Ling Tianxiao wanted to help her, this was their business after all, and as an outsider, he was not easy to interfere with. He sighed lightly: "I can't intervene in your housework, but you can tell your master and ask him not to intervene in the Central Plains dispute again, otherwise I will not spare him, maybe he will be afraid of my revenge and promise to let the two of you go back." ”

Sachiko Hojo put her arms around his waist and smiled sadly, "I don't think he will give in, but thank you anyway." By the way, you seem to have known that I had other intentions just after the war, why is that? ”

Ling Tianxiao smiled and said, "When you said that, I was indeed a little stunned and worried, but if you think about it carefully, your acting skills can be described as full of flaws. You know what my strength is, and if you really want to harm me, you will not act so recklessly. I may be able to win with my skills, but it is easy to escape. ”

Sachiko Hojo was stunned for a long time, made an awkward fuss, pursed her lips and said, "It turns out that you still don't believe me." ”

Ling Tianxiao held her hand tightly, took a long breath, and said with a wry smile: "If you have been betrayed by someone, it will be difficult for you to completely trust that person, let alone that this matter is about life. ”

Sachiko Hojo disagreed: "You have turned over the old accounts again, do you still think that I will harm you?" ”

Ling Tianxiao sat up, hugged her into his arms, approached her face and said, "If I really don't trust you, how can I let you stay by my side for so long?" Okay, let's go to bed first, and I'll have to rush up the mountain tomorrow morning. ”

With that, the two hugged each other and fell asleep.
