Text Chapter 169: Halfway robbery
The news that Emperor Shenzong was critically ill did not spread widely, but Zhu Youzhu got the news as soon as possible, and was rushing towards the capital non-stop at this time.
Xiao Wuxian got the news on the third day that Zhu Youzhu rushed to the capital, and it was still the news that Zhu Youzhu had sent from the flying pigeon.
"This is a conspiracy, we must stop Zhu Youzhu before he enters Beijing" This was the first sentence Xiao Wuxian said when he got the news.
If Zhu Yujun was assassinated and injured, Xiao Wuxian might still believe it, but if he said that Zhu Yuzhen was critically ill, he would never believe it. Zhu Yuzhen once ate his Danwen Pulp Cleansing Pill, not to mention that he can live forever, but at least he is also invulnerable to all poisons, plus Emperor Shenzong himself is also a master of the Amaterasu Realm, how can he say that he will fall ill when he is sick.
Moreover, the emperor's illness came too suddenly, just a month ago, Emperor Shenzong was still alive and vigorous. Therefore, Xiao Wuxian concluded that something must have happened in the capital, and it was aimed at Zhu Youzhang, otherwise why only Zhu Youzhu was notified.
Zhu Youzhu is not a fool, the reason why he passed this news to Xiao Wuxie in the first place. It was just to prevent the unexpected that he could have waited until he reconciled with Xiao Wuxian before returning to Beijing, but as a prince, if he did not leave for the palace immediately after receiving the news that his father was critically ill, he would be easily criticized.
As soon as Xiao Wuxian got the news, he took the arrogant and impermanent others to the capital, and he was sure to intercept Zhu Youzhu in the capital. It's just that Xiao Wuxie's journey along the way was not dull, and he was besieged by a large number of masters less than three hundred miles away from Yanmen Pass.
These masters are all strong and well-trained, and they can be killers without saying a word. It can be said that everything is done, and it is clear that it is here to fight hard. The more this happened, the more Xiao Wuxian felt that this matter was too strange.
Now the world has been decided, and his reputation is outside. Who has the courage to do it to themselves, even if the three major sects or even the eight great families want to move themselves, I'm afraid they have to think twice.
At this time, it is none other than the Eight Great Families or the royal family who can have the courage to make a desperate bet against themselves. Among the royal family, there is nothing more than the crown prince and the third prince, of course, this does not exclude Emperor Shenzong himself, after all, such a thing as a high merit and a great shock, the emperor of every dynasty and every generation does not want such a thing to happen.
Looking at the dozens of masters of the Amaterasu Realm around him, Xiao Wuxian also felt troubled. The other party actually has two masters at the peak of the ninth rank of the Amaterasu Realm, even if they are compared with Arrogant and Impermanence and Tie Le, it is not yet known who will win and who will lose in the real fight.
"Arrogant and impermanent, the old man has never had a chance to learn the Crazy Knife Supreme Sword Technique, and it is rare to see it today, please give me advice," a man in black led by him said, his voice revealing a sense of old age, obviously quite old.
Ao Wuchang snorted coldly, "I have never died a nameless ghost under the sword of Ao Wuchang, these young people are dressed in black and masked all day long, and they are not worthy of dying under my knife!"
"Hmph, arrogant, I've heard that you are arrogant and arrogant, and there is no one in your eyes, but today I saw that you really deserved your reputation. But you are also arrogant, I really think that no one dares to provoke your eight supremes, and the old man wants you to see that today next year is your death day" The old man in black said suspiciously, and a powerful sword aura arose.
Another powerhouse at the peak of the Nine Grades of the Amaterasu Realm released a powerful momentum at the same time, firmly locking Tie Le: "These two handed over to us, you must solve Xiao Wuxian in the shortest possible time!"
This time, due to the urgency of the situation, Xiao Wuxian did not let the soul chasing and soul devouring accompany him, Xiao Tianhe also had to take care of the post-war affairs, and he would return to Beijing in triumph soon. Therefore, Xiao Wuxian left the soul chasing and soul devouring to Xiao Tianhe, only with Tie Le and arrogance.
At present, the enemy has at least thirty masters of the Amaterasu Realm, and the lowest cultivation level is also in the seventh rank of the Amaterasu Realm. With such a big battle, apart from the top forces in the continent such as the Eight Great Families and the Three Great Sects, Xiao Wuxian really couldn't think of any other force that could mobilize these people.
Arrogant and Tie Le were naturally not afraid of facing the two masters of the Nine Grades of the Amaterasu Realm, but they couldn't help but worry about Xiao Wuxian. They are confident that they can overcome their opponents, but they are not able to kill them in a short period of time.
And what Xiao Wuxian is facing now is dozens of high-level masters of the Amaterasu Realm, and even if they encounter them, they can only flee from the wind. I have to say that these people came prepared, they knew very well that Xiao Wuxian was their actual leader, as long as Xiao Wuxian was killed, then they would be in chaos, and then they could be defeated one by one.
"Hmph, you don't have to hide, you can mobilize a master like you to deal with me. In addition to the eight great families in the world, only the people in the royal family have this ability, who sent you?"
The majestic body of the man in black couldn't help but feel for a while, although the two old men led by him were well disguised. But the shock in those eyes couldn't escape Xiao Wuxie's eyes at all, and he snorted coldly, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the Wu family and the Qian family!"
As soon as these words came out, it was even more point-to-point, it was not the first time he had dealt with the Qian family and the Wu family. It's not the first time I've fought each other, and I still have some knowledge of the exercises practiced by the people of the two major families. What's more, those who can still have the courage to do it to themselves at this time, except for the two families who have a deep hatred with them, others may not have the courage to do so.
Xiao Wuxian was just guessing at first, but seeing the reaction of the man in black made him even more sure of his guess. Suddenly, there was a burst of mocking laughter, "I didn't expect that the Qian family and the Wu family were still fighting each other some time ago because of the ice blade and the Yan sword, and now they actually abandon their previous suspicions and join forces to deal with me, I really want to know what big interests brought you together!"
Although he didn't deliberately understand the sensation caused by the Ice Blade and the Flame Sword on the mainland, there are some things that you don't want to know will reach your ears. Just like this kind of thing, the sudden appearance of a peerless divine soldier who has not appeared for thousands of years on the continent is definitely the most sensational thing for people in the martial arts for thousands of years, and there is no one.
Not only the Wu family and the Qian family, but even the other six major families and the three major sects were also inseparable because of the competition for ice blades and flame swords. Both sides have the blood of the other party's family on their hands, and they can still get rid of their previous suspicions with such a deep hatred, if there are no major interests involved, Xiao Wuxian definitely doesn't believe it.
"Xiao Wuxie, you are really smart, even if you guess our origins, do you think you still have the life to leave here? Don't say that the matter of the second prince has something to do with you, from the moment you provoked our Qian family, you should have guessed that there would be no good end" The old man in black tore off the black scarf covering his face as he spoke, revealing an old face with ravines and ravines.
The old man's face was covered with traces of time, proving that he was at least hundreds of years old, so it seemed that this person was the existence of the Qian family.
As the old man ripped off the black scarf, the rest of the people also revealed their true colors. Now that their identities have been exposed, they don't want to hide it, not to mention that they have already determined that Xiao Wuxian and the three of them will definitely die, and there is nothing to hide in front of the dead.
"Good, good, good!"
Xiao Wuxian said hello three times in a row, but the expression on his face was very calm, but this calmness made people shudder.
"What do you mean by that?" the old man in black asked.
"I originally planned to let you go, but now I have decided, before I leave, I will uproot your family, I Xiao Wuxian will do what he says, this day will not be too far away!" At this moment, Xiao Wuxie had a fierce momentum all over his body, and the cold air was pressing.
Everyone trembled majestically, and a chill came out from the bottom of their hearts, they were actually afraid!
"Kill" Xiao Wuxian shouted coldly, and the figure had already rushed into the enemy formation.
The sword flashed, and the long sword was unsheathed. One law, ten thousand laws, Xiao Wuxie With the deepening of his understanding of the way of heaven, the swordsmanship has entered a new level, and the ruthless swordsmanship in the past needs to be ruthless in order to exert great power. But now Xiao Wuxie's perception of the sword technique is no longer limited to one move and one style, but when he makes a move, he has inadvertently poured into the way of killing.
The sword is a murder weapon, so the long sword kills more than once, and the way of killing can only be truly sublimated and improved in the real killing battlefield.
As soon as he made a move, Xiao Wuxie was like a rainbow, and his sword was unmatched. Although Ao Wuchang and Tie Le were entangled by the two masters, Xiao Wuxian fought alone against twenty-eight Amaterasu Realm masters, but he was not afraid at all.
Hmm, the two swords stabbed out, and the blades of the two Amaterasu realm powerhouses were instantly cut in half, and the two of them were shocked and hurriedly dodged. However, Xiao Wuxie's Cangyun Thousand Illusion Body Method was as fast as a flowing cloud, and the sword walked with him, and he followed the sword until he pierced the chest of an enemy in one fell swoop.
The true qi was shocked, and the sharp sword qi directly twisted the opponent's internal organs into a puddle of mud, but the appearance was not hindered at all. If it weren't for the mastery of sword strength, it would be impossible to send and receive freely.
With a "snort", Xiao Wuxian was hit by the sword in his back, and a two-inch-long hole appeared in an instant, deep into the bones, and the blood immediately soaked his clothes.
The sneak attacker succeeded in one blow, and he was extremely excited and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but Xiao Wuxian didn't give him a second chance to strike. Inverting the hilt of the sword, the blade stabbed out from under the armpit, and the sword was bloody, and the other party didn't even see how Xiao Wuxian came out of the sword, but his life had already been harvested.
"Let's shoot together, don't give him a chance to dodge" One person in the crowd shouted, and everyone released Xiao Wuxian from the left and right to surround Xiao Wuxian in the middle, and the twenty-six long swords were cut down together.
"Angry Sea Waves" Xiao Wuxian roared, the long sword in his hand rotated rapidly, and the sharp sword rays were intertwined from the surroundings into a layer of brilliant light cocoons to protect it.
With a loud "boom", twenty-six sharp sword rays slashed at the light cocoon, bursting out with a deafening sound, and the bright light spread out everywhere.
Xiao Wuxian's body shook violently, spurting a mouthful of blood.
Just as the enemy was excited, nine flying knives as thin as cicada wings silently came out of the light cocoon, almost with the slightest error at the moment when the sword light of everyone collided with the light cocoon. The burst of bright light stimulated everyone's eyes to not open, and where did they perceive the existence of the flying knife.
