Southern Osawa.

Hundreds of miles south from Lingyang City, across the open plains and rolling low hills, a large area of lush woodland appeared in front of it, and a continuous stream of water was dotted between the woods and meadows, spreading in a southwesterly direction.

This is the fringe of Daze in the south, and it is also the border line between Yanyun Prefecture and Tiannan Prefecture.

If you continue to advance to the south, you will enter the Tiannan Chengxia Kingdom, a vassal vassal state of the Great Chu Empire.

It's just that this vast and fertile land is uninhabited, and the black soil under the grass seems to be able to drip oil, but there is no reclaimed farmland or village, and although it is the middle of winter, you can still see many small animals foraging and playing among the woodlands and waters.

This is because the Yanyun Great Yan Dynasty and the Tiannan Great Chu have been in a state of war or semi-war for hundreds of years, and the armies of the two sides have fought in this territory I don't know how many times, and the former villages, towns and cities have long been reduced to ruins and buried under the barren grassy woodland.

Da! Da! Da!

Suddenly, from the passage between the two hills not far away, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and a dense thud of striking the earth made a few timid hares retreat back into their nests, poking out their furry heads and looking out curiously.

I saw a team of seven or eight riders galloping through the meadow, like tigers and horses, like dragons, and extremely vigorous.

The horse of the divine horse ran sweating like rain, and the horse's nose spewed out a long white mist, and it looked like it had been on the road for a long time, showing a little fatigue.

"Stop!"

The leading knight grabbed the reins with both hands. Said loudly: "Brothers, get off the horse and rest for half an hour!"

The six knights in the back responded in unison. They all pulled their ropes and stopped advancing.

They were dressed in blue-gray suits, and they looked like quacks on the road. However, everyone carries a bow and a sword with a fierce aura, and the order is very orderly, and it is definitely not an ordinary martial artist sword cultivation.

After dismounting, the seven took off the pouch hanging from the saddle, took out a large handful of soybeans from it and fed the panting war horse, while caressing the horse's neck affectionately. Showing a love for horses.

After feeding the horses, the seven sat around and took out the dry food and wine to eat and drink.

A young knight poured a sip of wine into his mouth, exhaled a long breath and said, "Big brother, we have all run back and forth on this road three or four times. When will we actually do it?"

The chief knight patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's almost over! Lord Shangguan has already made all the arrangements, Lingyang City will soon be our world, and when the time comes, only our Shangguan family will be left with the seven families, and the beauties of the other six families will be up to you!"

The young knight was overjoyed: "Really?"

The other five immediately burst into laughter, their eyes all showing fanaticism and yearning.

The chief knight put away his wine bag, got up and shouted, "Let's go, we must rush to the outpost camp before dark!"

"Whoa!"

The knights turned on their horses and followed him closely.

A group of seven horsemen quickly entered the woods ahead, treading on the muddy path. Rolling up and flying leaves all the way.

The leader knight faced the cold wind, but his heart was hot, thinking of the great event that would happen soon, he longed to put on his wings and go straight to his destination, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be burning.

Shout!

Suddenly, he heard a strange howl from above his head, and his heart was shocked, the hairs on his body suddenly exploded, and the whole person seemed to fall into an ice cave, cold from the top of his head to the soles of his feet!

The leader knight Huo Ran raised his head. I saw thousands of golden sword qi shooting into the sky, densely intertwined like an open giant net, and the fierce momentum containing the killing machine made his soul tremble.

"Enemy attack!"

He roared loudly, and without hesitation, he rolled over and fell from his horse, and rolled sideways forward with the force of his momentum.

It's just that although his reaction speed was extremely fast, he avoided the deadly threat between breaths, but those knights behind him were far from so lucky, they were hit by the head-on sword qi, and the three horsemen and the horses under their crotches were instantly pierced through dozens of blood holes!

The three people in the back were not much better, they each suffered several sword qis, and they were seriously injured if they didn't die!

Wow!

The sorrowful screams of the horses and the screams of the knights came and went, the blood flew fast, the body of the horse and the body fell heavily to the ground, and the leader and knight who rolled off the horse did not need to look back, but could also imagine the miserable scene of his subordinates.

"You son of a bitch!"

He jumped up from the ground in a rage, pulled out the big sword hanging on his back with his backhand, and let out an earth-shattering roar with his eyes red: "Get out of here!"

Countless fallen leaves, accompanied by a vigorous figure slowly falling to the ground.

The sword light reappeared, sweeping a dozen paces away, passing the neck of a knight struggling to get up.

The latter's head flew up, and his eyes were wide with anger and despair.

The chief knight took a deep breath, his hands holding the hilt of his sword no longer trembled in the slightest, and the flames in his eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only a cold light flickering.

As a sword cultivator who had stepped into the innate realm, he had experienced hundreds of battles, and possessed a calmness far beyond ordinary people, deeply understanding that when facing a strong enemy, any excitement and anger were superfluous.

"Who are you?"

He squeezed out three words from between his teeth, while frantically urging the dantian true qi to inject into the sword body.

The other party was in front of him, and said lightly: "Heavenly City Sword Sect, Qin Yun!"

Heavenly City Sword Sect!

The pupils of the chief knight's eyes suddenly shrank, and he asked in a deep voice: "We have no grievances with you, why do we want to sneak attack and secretly kill the murderer, is this the style of the famous faction?"

"No injustice and no revenge?" Qin Yun's lips pulled out a cold sneer: "Your Shangguan family colluded with Dachu to plot rebellion, thinking that the gods could hide from the world and cross the sea without knowing it?"

The heart of the chief knight sank suddenly, and he said in a bitter voice: "I don't know what you're talking about, take your life to pay my brother's blood debt!"

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly raised his big sword and slashed towards Qin Yunyao, sending out a blow that had been gathering momentum for a long time!

Call!

A scorching sword aura like an angry dragon ploughed through the air, letting out a deafening roar, and the entire forest trembled under the power of the sword, and everywhere it went!

This sword has definitely reached the realm of sword qi perfection, and it faintly has a bit of sword power.

Well done!

Qin Yun was just about to test his opponent's true strength, standing still without dodging, and without hesitation, he swung his sword to meet it!

The fifth form of Taiyi Jinhuan Sword Technique, monopolizing the mountains!

Rumble!

Two equally fierce and powerful sword qi collided together in an instant, red and golden sword rays splashed in all directions, and the surrounding trees were damaged and countless holes were broken, and several unbearable big trees creaked and fell.

Qin Yun and the figure of the leader knight shook at the same time, and the latter took half a step back.

The corners of the chief knight's eyes twitched, and he suddenly unfolded his body and fled into the woods.

With the sword just now, he had already done his best, and under the hard fight, he immediately realized the gap between himself and Qin Yun, and his mind immediately changed.

Although he really wanted to risk his life to avenge a group of subordinates who were as close as brothers, the chief knight knew better that what he needed to do most was not to fight to the death with Qin Yun, but to rush back to Lingyang City as quickly as possible to report the news, so that the Shangguan family could be prepared.

For the sake of his family, he would rather bear the shame of cowardly fighting and avoiding the enemy.

It's just that the leader knight wants to run, and it depends on whether Qin Yun agrees or not, and Qin Yun saw that the opponent retreated without a fight, and he didn't hesitate to show a glimpse of light and chase after him!

He understood the consequences of leaking the news better than the chief knight, once the other party was allowed to return to Lingyang City alive, then both Xu Jingye and the Shui family would face great danger.

The two chased back and forth in the dense forest, the leader knight's light skills were quite not weak, running and leaping as fast and agile as arrows from the string, and from time to time they suddenly changed direction to try to throw Qin Yun away.

It's just a fool's dream to get rid of Qin Yun by relying on this kind of trick, Qin Yun's cultivation of Jiuyang Xuangong is long and majestic, and the light skill of floating light and shadow has reached the supreme realm of perfection, just half a pillar of incense chasing, he shortened the distance between the two sides to no more than ten steps.

Shout!

Seeing Qin Yun chasing closer and closer, the leader knight couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, he suddenly stopped, turned around and swung out a sword, trying to catch Qin Yun off guard.

This move was indeed a bit unexpected, but how could Qin Yun be defenseless, and without hesitation, he even hit people directly, and the blades of the swords slammed into each other fiercely.

Boom!

The long sword and the great sword were shaken open at the same time, but Qin Yun took the opportunity to approach the leader knight, twisting his flying leg and kicking the opponent's chest.

The leader knight hurriedly raised his arm to parry, only to hear a muffled "bang", and the whole person flew backwards!

Laugh at!

Qin Yun landed and twisted, swept forward like lightning, and the long sword in his hand chased after the opponent like a maggot attached to the bone, not giving the opponent any respite at all.

The leader knight had a lot of hatred in his heart, he originally wanted to use the power of the impact to reopen the distance, but he didn't expect to be easily seen through the plot by Qin Yun, so he had no choice but to fall his body down sharply, and the big sword flew diagonally towards Qin Yun.

Qin Yun dodged, and the sword momentum changed again.

The rabbit rose and fell, and the two sides exchanged hands for several rounds in the snap of their fingers, and neither took much advantage.

But it was already an impossible task for the leader knight to get rid of Qin Yun and escape, he could only abandon all illusions and swing his sword to fight Qin Yun to the death!

Whew!

Once the sword momentum of the leader knight unfolded, it was strong and powerful, and the heavy red flame sword qi that was sent out almost ignited the surrounding air, immediately causing heavy pressure on Qin Yun.

But in the case of similar strength, Qin Yun has never been afraid of a hard-fought duel, and he competes with his opponent with one move and one move, and the sword qi of the two sides can't help but collide violently, making a loud noise. rq
