Volume 1: The Boy Shows His Edge Chapter 54: Poisoning on the Ninth Day of the Month
On a spring afternoon, the sky seemed to feel the excitement obscured by the dense shade, and desperately found a better angle to burrow into the leaf gaps, so that the little spots of light that swayed with the green leaves fell on the forest.
At this time, those flickering spots of light were like eyes that couldn't wait to see the result, and with the approach of a real spectator, they flickered gently in the deep forest, inviting Mu Qing and them to another life-and-death duel.
"Come again!" Yue Jiu tapped his chin calmly, and the Yuehua Sword pointed downward at the ground, dressed in green clothes and windless.
After responding to Mu Qing's invitation to fight again, Yue Jiu bent his knee and bowed forward, and while his right elbow was retracted back, his left foot kicked back silently, and the whole person rushed towards Mu Qing like a meteor that cut through the long night.
The hazy sword qi of the moon white in the ninth month looked extremely dazzling under the tempering of the starry sky above his head, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
I saw that he was using force under his feet, and the ten thousand poisonous green qi was condensed in the short sword without being revealed, and he was completely unafraid of the vigorous momentum of Yuejiu wrapped in the skylight, and the whole person shot out to meet Yuejiu.
Yue Jiu didn't use the moves in the Moonfall Sword Technique this time, and when the others were still in the air, the elbow of the sword was retracted, the Yuehua Sword and the arm were straight, and a simple and bright flat stabbing sword directly attacked Mu Qing's chest.
Mu Qing's horizontal sword was naturally blocked in his chest, and from this moment on, the collision between the two swords never stopped.
"Bang bang bang-" The sword aura overflowed, and the spark bloomed.
The sword light floated, and between the scattered light in the sky, the sword in Mu Qing and Yue Jiu's hands had already dragged out a long sword shadow. The sword aura overflowed, and the sparks generated by the gold and iron strikes spread out to the surroundings, like flowers born with the sword.
The opponent is too late to attack, and the sword stabs the opponent to save.
Mu Qing and Yuejiu's faces were tense, and they always showed indifferent expressions that wanted to kill each other.
And often, after the sound of the gold and iron clashing sounded a few times, the blue jade-colored sword shadows that were entangled with each other would slowly dissipate.
As soon as the two first day of the first year, between you chasing me, the sword shadows were staggered, and half a moment had passed.
Although the sword light was getting faster and faster, the two of them strangely tried their best to maintain some restraint and keep their hands, and they did not immediately use more powerful killing moves in the subsequent confrontations.
After a long time, Mu Qing's gaze fell on Yue Jiu's silent and calm face through the gaps of sword light that had risen and scattered one after another, with a strong sense of scrutiny and caution.
He maintained restraint because he knew that he was inferior to Yue Jiu in terms of moves and Dao True Intent, so he wanted to find the best opportunity through consumption and send ten thousand poisonous green qi into the other party's body in one fell swoop.
So what does the other party want to do with such a forbearance and waiting?
Between the blades and the blades, the figures of the two approached again, the more times like this, no one dared to get out easily, the brave won when they met on a narrow road, and the ruthlessness in their respective personalities was finally vividly revealed at this moment.
Yue Jiu silently accumulated the True Qi Sword Yuan, and responded to Mu Qing's scrutinizing gaze.
In fact, as early as after using the "Moonfall Elixir", he faintly felt that there were some problems with his sword moves.
After Yue Jiu used the "Moon in the Water" again, he gradually realized that when his sword heart was reborn, the true meaning of the sword path underwent some changes that he had not fully understood. Except for the trick of "fishing for the moon in the water", the current moonfall sword trick is no longer completely consistent with the true meaning of today's "missing moon" sword.
This change is very subtle, if it weren't for today's battle of using two sword tricks in a row, Yue Jiu would probably not be able to find that the power of the first move's "Moonfall Elixir" is far less powerful than the second move's "Fishing for the Moon in the Water".
This is the reason why Yue Jiu was able to maintain restraint, the more critical the moment, the more subtle changes would be infinitely magnified after the use of the move, he didn't want to accidentally lose his life.
So Yuejiu, like Mu Qing, is also waiting for an opportunity, a chance for Mu Qing to get close to him, and be used by himself again to use "fishing for the moon in the water" and hit the same place.
"Drink!" This opportunity did not make the two with their own thoughts wait too long, and at the last moment, which lasted for dozens of blows, the opportunity had already arrived.
When Mu Qing felt that Yue Jiu's true qi sword yuan was approaching, his eyes were full of light, and after the short sword crossed his chest to block Yue Jiu's vertical split, the ten thousand poisonous green qi that had been hidden was like a tiger lurking in the mountain road, and he pounced with strength along this simple blocking action, directly pushing Yue Jiu backwards and staggering back.
Yue Jiu was surprised in his heart, he really didn't expect that Mu Qing didn't need to breathe for so much after fighting for so long.
Before the look of surprise in Yue Jiu's eyes completely faded, Mu Qing had already torn off the disguise he had deliberately secured.
I saw that his whole person was like a fierce beast with its fangs exposed, one arm bent and elbow stabbed forward, but the concise and clear movements did not give Yue Jiu a chance to change direction, and when the other party retreated, the short sword carried an unrivaled killing intent to break through the wind.
Yue Jiu's bright eyes were wide open, his pitch-black pupils shrank suddenly, and the sword blade that broke into his eyes appeared extremely clear, and when he felt the pain of piercing the flesh in his left chest, his eyelids suddenly jumped, and he actually raised his body technique to the extreme in an instant.
"Ahh
Mu Qing's eyes narrowed into a straight line, Yue Jiu forcibly twisted his body at the last moment, and the short sword stabbed straight into the position of the shoulder blade, and the short sword in his hand did not stab Yue Jiu's heart as he wished,
But Mu Qing didn't feel how to curse, and after fighting so far, he knew what a powerful opponent the other party was, and he would not have naively thought that he would be able to do his best this time.
Therefore, he just moved forward in silence and continued to move forward, his true qi surging wildly, trying to send the tip of the sword deeper, and send more of the ten thousand poisonous true qi that was condensed in the body of the sword and followed the tip of the sword.
"Sa-" The sound of the wind breaking and hissing resounded through the forest.
In the anxious gaze of Liu Weirui and them, Mu Qing and Yuejiu were like old friends who had been reunited for a long time, and they snuggled up to each other. One moved forward quickly, the other did not retreat slowly, so the figures of the two made a hissing sound in the quiet space.
After the short sword had pierced into the flesh and blood by an inch, when Mu Qing frantically advanced to pierce Yue Jiu's shoulder, Yue Jiu suppressed the pain that continued to pierce his heart in a very short moment, and regained control of his body.
Yue Jiu retreated quickly, and in silence, he gave Mu Qing the back hand he had been saving.
A round of missing moon suddenly appeared in the forest, and then the sword head fell in an instant, and finally silently cut through the sky, and the sword move of "fishing for the moon in the water" pierced the wound in Mu Qing's abdomen again at an infinitely paradoxical and indescribable angle.
The fierce color in Yue Jiu's eyes finally stopped retreating, and he faced Mu Qing, who seemed to have no time to stop his body.
If it goes further, Yuejiu's shoulder will be pierced by the short sword.
If he went any further, Mu Qing's chest would be cut by the long sword.
But there won't be so many "ifs" in this world, and there are still many things waiting to be done by yourself, how could Mu Qing crash into the edge that can really bring him death?
So after feeling the sword move that was about to break through his chest, Mu Qing immediately drew his sword and pressed down, stepped forward with both feet, and kicked with all his strength as hard as his heels touched the ground, and finally caught up with the tip of the Yuejiu sword to cut through the clothes on his chest and wanted to cut through the flesh and blood by another inch, and narrowly avoided the sword blade condensed by the moonlight.
"Click-"
It seemed to be the sound of something falling, and it was like the sound of the soles of his feet gently stepping on the ground, Mu Qing's emotions were slightly complicated, suppressing the injury in his abdomen, and he had already distanced himself from Yue Jiu on the opposite side.
He stood quietly on one side, calmly looking at Yuejiu.
Along the way, although they have also had dangerous battles with Cao Mo and Geng Jian, the emotions brought to Mu Qing are far less complex and profound than today.
Mu Qing came out of the Hidden Valley and understood that the Sword Cultivator was the most difficult opponent in the rivers and lakes, but Mu Qing, who was young and not weak, still had his own pride.
But today, Mu Qing's proud heart is a little gloomy.
Because he fell into the disadvantage twice on the same person and the same move!
This is a little unacceptable for a proud young man, but Mu Qing also understands what a formidable opponent he is facing today.
The other party can always seize the opportunity between life and death.
Mu Qing struggled to get rid of the chill in his chest, his left hand gently covering his abdomen, blood spilling from his fingers faster than last time, but he didn't rush to deal with this deeper wound.
He raised his jaw, his sword eyebrows starry, and calmly waited for the impact of the ten thousand poisonous green qi on the other party.
At this time, Yuejiu was also looking at Mu Qing, and saw that between his fingers flying, he had quickly sealed several points near his shoulder blades, and the wound that Mu Qing brought to him gradually stopped.
Mu Qing didn't step forward to interfere with Yue Jiu at this time, firstly, because the other party had given him time for autonomy before, but because he was waiting for something to happen.
The room changed from extreme movement to extreme silence, and the two people who were standing opposite each other remained silent. A sturdy figure finally approached the two of them by the depth of the forest and the sound of moving, melting into the shadows somewhere, waiting for the two to finally separate from each other.
Yue Jiu temporarily took care of his wounds, and lightly lifted his long sword to notice Mu Qing's quietness.
He tilted his head, frowned slightly, and set his eyes on Mu Qing's fingers, which were still being impregnated, and there was some confusion in his heart.
He took two steps forward, feeling something on his left foot, but kept his eyes level and didn't look down. He looked at Mu Qing, broke the strange silence here softly, and asked, "What are you waiting for-"
"Poof-" A mouthful of hot blood spurted down his toes.
The sound of the heart's violent beating seemed to sound in Yue Jiu's ears, and with the sound of "dong dong", it was a stream of air that originated from the wound on the shoulder blade and flowed to the whole body.
When the Ten Thousand Poisonous Qing Qi entered other people's bodies without being controlled by Mu Qing's mind, it was no longer a cool true qi that digested toxins, and they uncontrollably collided with Yue Jiu's veins, alternating between cold and hot breathing.
Yue Jiu knelt on one knee, his left hand propped up on the ground, next to a letter he had just stepped on, but he now had no time to care about whether the punctured letter had fallen from Mu Qing's body, and his right hand even blocked all the tricks on the left side of his body, so that he had a chance to breathe.
A few drops of sweat from the heat and dryness grew from the corners of the forehead where the green tendons burst out, and slowly flowed over the gradient dark blue cheeks, and when the speed became faster and faster to the corners of the lips, and when the cyan poisonous blood that was about to overflow drip on the ground, the frost and cold gradually appeared, but it condensed into ice and froze on Yue Jiu's jaw.
Extreme heat followed by extreme cold, Yuejiu painfully understood that she had been poisoned.
Yue Jiu raised her head and squinted at Mu Qing. He endured the unbearable pain in his veins, and whispered intermittently, "Give it to me...... Antidote, I'll sell you your life once......"
Yue Jiu believed that Mu Qing could understand what he meant, but the toxins in his eyes that were still spreading in his body gradually lost their brilliance, and life and death were held in the hands of others in an instant, and the result was too unpredictable.
"Spit -" A mouthful of blood-filled spit was spat out.
Things finally developed as he expected, and Mu Qing's heartstrings, which had been tense, were loosened at this time.
Mu Qingxing's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze fell on Yue Jiu's feet.
While sealing the wound in his abdomen, he remained cautious and calm and walked towards Yuejiu.
Facing Yue Jiu's gloomy gaze, Mu Qing's body bent down in a defensive posture at all times, gently picked up the letter that fell from his arms, and laughed softly: "Your life is very valuable......?
Mu Qing's gaze fell on the letter handed to him by Senior Sister Ning Chu, and his sword eyebrows jumped violently, and for a moment he felt that this world was too wonderful and coincidental.
"What's your name?" Mu Qing asked seriously.
