Chapter 493: Fighting the Demon Alone
As soon as Li Jiangyao received the news from the Intelligence Department, he immediately gathered 500 personal soldiers and galloped out of the imperial capital.
Xifeng Mountain was not far away, and the cavalry rushed forward, and arrived at the cave where Ge Shuxuan had kidnapped Lianji in more than an hour.
At this moment, more than 300 white-robed troops are surrounding this place, and Ge Shuxuan can't fly at all.
Li Jiangyao jumped off the horse, ran up the hill quickly, first learned about the previous situation from the captain and others, and then shouted loudly: "I am Li Jiangyao, and the people inside come out to answer!" ”
After a while, Ge Shuxuan walked out of the cave alone, stared coldly at Li Jiangyao who was standing in the distance, and said in a hoarse voice: "Dadu Protection, long admiration!" ”
Li Jiangyao had already guessed the identity of the other party, but he was still a little surprised by Ge Shuxuan's inhuman appearance. He looked at it carefully for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You are Shu Xuan, the young master of the ghost fight?" ”
Ge Shu Xuan smiled strangely: "Exactly." What do you think? I'm still alive, so I must be disappointing to you, right? ”
"It doesn't matter if you're disappointed or not." Li Jiangyao said calmly: "The Turkic army is my target. Whether you, Ashina, or Ronia, Helianxiong, Durham, etc., it doesn't really matter to me whether you are dead or alive. ”
Hearing this, Ge Shuxuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He never thought that Li Jiangyao didn't take the Turkic kings and generals to heart at all. His goal, or the goal of the Zhenjiang Army, was always only to expel foreign enemies, protect the territory and the people, and eliminate the Turkic Eastern Expeditionary Army was Li Jiangyao's concern.
A trace of anger flashed in Ge Shuxuan's eyes, and he roared: "Don't talk big!" I killed so many of you, don't you really care? Or do you not care about the life or death of the people of Shengtang in your heart? ”
Li Jiangyao said lightly: "Of course I care about the lives of the Shengtang people, but I am not Mr. Daoxue. If I can save it, I will sacrifice my life to save it, and if I can't save it, I won't keep struggling. As for looking for you to take revenge, I'm sorry, there are still more harmful targets than you waiting for me to eradicate them, and you can't be ranked. ”
To Ge Shuxuan's ears, these words were even more humiliating than direct scolding, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and shouted: "Li Jiangyao, remember what you just said, sooner or later I will make you regret it!" ”
Li Jiangyao smiled: "Don't talk so far. You're surrounded by us now, let the people go, and I can make you die a happy death. ”
"Hahaha," Ge Shuxuan laughed wildly: "They all say that you are as cunning as a fox, and today it seems that it is true." After saying so many beautiful words, he put on a posture in front of me that he didn't care about anything, but in fact, he still had some worries in his heart, worried about the woman's safety. Li Jiangyao, I have a proposal, do you want to hear it? ”
"Let's talk about it." Li Jiangyao looked at Ge Shuxuan calmly.
"Take that woman as a bet, you and I will have a competition," Ge Shuxuan said viciously: "If you win, I will not only let her go, but I will also be at your disposal; If you lose, today next year will be your death day! What do you think? ”
Li Jiangyao replied casually: "You are willing to be so cheap to me, of course I have no reason to refuse." ”
Ge Shuxuan showed a sneer: "Don't worry, I still have two conditions." ”
"Say, as long as it's not too much, I can promise you." Li Jiangyao looked at Ge Shuxuan calmly.
"The first condition, for the sake of fairness, you and I must not have anyone else present in the duel, and all of your men must leave."
"That's as it should be, agree."
"The second condition, I have fought a lot of vicious battles before, and my internal force has been damaged a lot, and it takes three hours to breathe, and the fight is scheduled for tonight."
Li Jiangyao looked at the sky, nodded and said, "It's no problem." However, I also have one condition, if you can't agree, not only will the competition be canceled, but we will immediately let go and launch an attack, and we will break you to pieces on the spot. ”
Ge Shuxuan squinted his eyes and sneered, "Is it about that woman?" ”
"That's right," Li Jiangyao said lightly: "You bring her out for me to see, I want to make sure that the person is safe and sound, and it can be regarded as a bargaining chip for you to survive." ”
Ge Shuxuan hesitated, then turned around and walked into the cave, and after a while, he held Lian Ji hostage and reappeared in front of everyone.
Li Jiangyao looked at it intently and found that although Lian Ji was able to walk on her own, her eyes were closed, and she had no perception of anything in the outside world, as if she had fallen into a coma.
"What did you do to her?" Li Jiangyao asked in a deep voice.
Ge Shu Xuan smiled evilly: "What am I doing, most of the protectors must know better than anyone else, how can I ensure my safety if I don't put some medicine on her?" ”
Li Jiangyao frowned when he heard this, and his tone was much colder than before: "Please don't play tricks with me." You're still alive to talk to me because of her, but if you ......"
Before Li Jiangyao finished speaking, Ge Shuxuan interrupted: "Don't worry, I don't plan to kill this woman. Although she has been poisoned by me, the antidote is on me, and it can be lifted before dawn tomorrow. Of course, the premise is that the majority of the protectors can defeat me tonight. ”
Li Jiangyao pondered for a moment, looked at the sky again, and then ordered: "Pass my order, all withdraw from Xifeng Mountain!" ”
The white-robed army and the intelligence department have always regarded Li Jiangyao as a god, and his words cannot be questioned in the slightest. Since the commander gave the order, everyone agreed in unison, and immediately retreated, leaving Li Jiangyao alone to stay where he was.
Seeing this, Ge Shuxuan sneered again, and then also dragged Lianji back to the cave to prepare for the decisive battle later.
Li Jiangyao stared at the direction of the entrance of the cave, and slowly sat down cross-legged, but he kept thinking about the situation he might encounter tonight in his heart: Ge Shuxuan is scheming, and he is extremely clever in using poisonous methods, and the so-called duel is nothing more than an excuse, and most of them still have some shady schemes.
The reason why he happily agreed to Ge Shuxuan's proposal was that on the one hand, it was to rescue Lian Ji, and on the other hand, he also wanted to take this opportunity to solve this scourge himself, so as not to hurt people again in the future.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the three-hour deadline had arrived. Li Jiangyao stopped adjusting his internal breath and slowly opened his eyes, feeling that the stars in the sky had become extremely clear.
At this moment, Ge Shuxuan also happened to escort Lian Ji out of the cave, staring viciously at Li Jiangyao, who was sitting cross-legged.
"It's time to make a decision." Ge Shuxuan's hoarse and deep voice was like a beast panting, inexplicably harsh.
Li Jiangyao suddenly got up, pulled out the Xingluo knife from his back, and said loudly: "You have killed countless Shengtang people, and I have also killed countless Ghost Dou Clan soldiers, tonight is not only a battle of revenge, but also an end to the Turkic invasion, let's shoot, don't let me down." ”
Ge Shuxuan pushed away the drowsy Lian Ji, took out two ghost blades from his waist, and roared with a cruel smile: "Li Jiangyao, the shame of the Turkic Empire can only be washed away with your blood!" ”
With that, he slammed into the air, like a fierce demon beast, and swooped straight at Li Jiangyao a few feet away.
Li Jiangyao also shouted violently, rose into the air, and faced the other party.
The two met in the air, and at the same time, they struck out like lightning, and the Starfall Knife and the Ghost Blade clashed fiercely together, and sparks flew everywhere.
In the next second, they passed by and fell to the ground.
As soon as their feet touched the ground, Li Jiangyao and Ge Shuxuan turned around almost at the same time, rushed to their opponents without stopping, and fought together again in the blink of an eye.
Li Jiangyao's instantaneous pupils urged with all his might, and the starfall knife technique hit faster and faster, it was really like the Milky Way falling and the meteor shining. And because of the medicinal effect of the Cleansing Pill, Ge Shuxuan's meridians all over his body were transformed like half-humans and half-beasts, regardless of the speed and internal force, the two ghost blades flew up and down, without falling into the wind at all.
The two of them went back and forth on the flat ground halfway up the Xifeng Mountain, and fought fiercely for seventy or eighty rounds, and the scene was evenly matched. Ge Shuxuan knew in his heart that Li Jiangyao was not using all his strength at the moment, and Li Jiangyao also knew that Ge Shuxuan had not used his housekeeping skills to kill poison at this time.
Both of them are tempting, and they both have reservations, just waiting for a glimpse of each other's flaws, and then kill them in one fell swoop.
The competition of masters must not be fake. With a quick fight, after a little time, Li Jiangyao, who was more solid in kung fu, gradually gained the upper hand. Ge Shuxuan was forced to be helpless, so he could only use poison tricks in advance while he was not injured by the knife.
He roared, struggling to dodge the Starfall Knife that slashed at his left shoulder, and with the straining of his wrists with both hands, two clouds of pale yellow smoke were shaken out from his sleeves.
The smoke was like a ghost in the dark night, and it gathered but did not disperse, and it was suspended within a radius of several feet, enveloping the two people who were in a fierce battle.
Li Jiangyao felt a tightness in his chest, knowing that this was due to inhaling the poisonous mist, he hurriedly held his breath and condensed, flipped back, and flew out of the area of yellow smoke. Unexpectedly, Ge Shuxuan seized the opportunity and chased after him closely, and the strange yellow smoke also drifted close with him.
Li Jiangyao had heard Xiahou Ninghan talk about "Vidasni", and knew that it was a poison that Ge Shuxuan specially used to deal with martial arts masters, but who would have expected that Ge Shuxuan now has a new method, and he can actually control the poisonous smoke that accompanies him for a long time, which is simply incredible.
And with this poisonous smoke action, Ge Shuxuan is equivalent to one more move to attack the opponent, and can make the opponent unguardable during the fight.
Li Jiangyao had no choice but to retreat again and continue to distance himself from Ge Shuxuan. Seeing this, Ge Shuxuan couldn't help but smile proudly, wielding a double blade in his hand to chase and kill, without giving the other party any respite.
The two of you chased me for a while, and then returned to the original position, and Li Jiangyao gradually stabilized his position at this time. He knew in his heart that blindly dodging was not a way after all, and he had to break the opponent's tricks.
Thinking of this, he suddenly gathered his strength, and reflexively faced the menacing Ge Shuxuan, and the long knife in his hand suddenly shone with dazzling light!
