Volume 1 The Birds Go, the People Scatter Chapter 3 The Snare Killer
Early morning came, the sun shone on the faces of the two through the wide open window, Zhao Kai rubbed his eyes, sat up, he looked at Yang Xiao lying beside him, his face was full of helplessness, this hero's snoring last night shook the sky. Looking at the rope that was connected to Lin Xiao's hand, he sighed and lay back down.
On the third pole of the day, Yang Xiao finally woke up from his dream, he sat up, his hands were about to stretch forward, he wanted to stretch his waist, but remembered that his right hand was still tied with the little rabbit cub with a rope, Zhao Kai felt Lin Xiao's movements, and he also opened his eyes and sat up again.
"You can untie it. Zhao Kai said helplessly. He complained in his heart, saying that seeing how dead you slept yesterday, I tried my best to untie the rope that you deliberately tied the dead knot. I see how you solve it today, it is difficult to cut it with a sword.
Yang Xiao didn't answer, just rubbed his eyes deeply with his left hand, and then bit off the rope with his teeth.
Zhao Kai looked at Yang Xiao with a stunned face, and Yang Daxia just brushed his hair with both hands, as if he had just done something terrible and deliberately uncovered it plainly.
The two had breakfast downstairs, and Yang Xiao left the inn without saying hello to Yun Niang. Zhao Kai brought the hat and veil again, and carried a large package behind him, while the man next to him was still dressed in a green shirt, carrying a long sword, and his eyebrows were delicate and his face was full of ruffians.
For Zhao Kai, who has never been out of the palace, although it has only been two days, he has seen many new things that he has never seen before, most of them are some market customs, such as the vendors and buyers in the lively bazaar, one sells and boasts, one bargains, and the spit stars splash around, and for example, there is a shrew scolding the street at the mouth of a street and alley, and the vulgar words did not make Zhao Kai feel bored, but felt that it was interesting.
As for carrying a large package and walking purely with his feet, Zhao Kai was slightly uncomfortable at first, but now he is walking more and more smoothly. After all, deep in the palace, as a prince, in addition to the four books and five classics of the sages and classics, he also has special teachers to teach martial arts, and they are mostly practicing some basic frames for laying a foundation for martial arts in the future, but to exercise their physique, he is not lazy, and the foundation is good.
Zhao Kai was very helpless about the path he walked, he didn't recognize the road, so he could only follow Yang Xiao's direction, and after all, Yang Xiao was still holding his hand.
In the next few days, the two did not encounter any major events, all the way to Jialing Pass, which is the gateway to Gyeonggi, but they saw some martial arts duels in the rivers and lakes, and Zhao Kai was full of excitement when he saw it, but according to Yang Xiao, what they saw in the past few days was just a show, and the flashy fights were meaningless.
At noon on this day, Yang Xiao insisted on pulling Zhao Kai to continue walking, the sun was exposed to the sky, the colors between heaven and earth were bright, and Zhao Kai, who was still wearing a hat to shade the sun, still felt the rare heat in spring.
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry, you're almost sunburned, you can't slow down. Zhao Kai complained loudly.
It is said that this Yang Daxia is usually very talkative, but what is going on today, he didn't even eat lunch, he just bought flatbread, filled the water bladder, and hurried away. Zhao Kai couldn't help but have doubts in his heart and was full of black lines.
Yang Xiao did not answer, this is not his usual style.
The two walked like this for a quarter of an hour, and when they arrived at a shaded wood, Yang Xiao walked faster, Zhao Kai shook his hand vigorously, and said tiredly: "No, no, no, take a break, just rest for a while." ”
At this time, Yang Xiao's face was surprisingly serious, and he didn't look at Zhao Kai, but carefully looked at the surrounding environment. Zhao Kai was already eccentric, and his sense of the surroundings was also surprisingly keen, and he finally discovered that something was wrong with the surrounding environment.
It is said that under this scorching sun, there will be insects and birds in the woods today, and the most unfortunate thing should be the wind blowing the branches and leaves, bringing people a refreshing coolness. But the strange thing is that the surrounding things are in a kind of static and mysterious realm, as if there is an invisible aura that interferes with the forest environment.
I saw Yang Xiao say abruptly: "Your Excellency, come out." Zhao Kai was suddenly shocked in his heart, it turned out that someone was following the sneak, no wonder Yang Xiao acted so strangely today.
In Zhao Kai's eyes, behind a relatively tall poplar tree in front of him, a man with a face armor and a strange weather silently walked out, he was wearing black tight clothes, which were painted with a green spider pattern, holding a thorn in each hand, and the surface of the weapon did not have a normal metal reflection under the sun, but showed a strange green, which made Zhao Kai, who had seen this strange scene for the first time, shudder.
"The killer of the Razor's Character Department, coming at me?"
The killer on the other side said in an unusually cold voice: "Yang Xiao, one of the leaders of the Mo family, is not the only one who wants your life. ”
Zhao Kai was confused, he had never been out of the palace, let alone the sects and killer organizations on the rivers and lakes. Even the Mo family was probably known after he followed Yang Xiao to meet Yun Niang. As for this killer of the Character Family, he didn't have the strength to assess, but he still subconsciously looked at Yang Xiao beside him, who was now a hijacker and a guardian.
Zhao Kai didn't know the danger of the Earth Character Department, how could Yang Xiao not know that although the Luo Wang Organization was not as prosperous as when Great Qin was unified three hundred years ago, it was still the first-class killer organization today. And the killer of the earth character department is already a first-class master in the rivers and lakes that Yang Xiao has seen.
At this time, Yang Xiao's face was as heavy as water, he had already let go of Zhao Kai's right hand, if someone stood behind Yang Xiao at this time, he would be surprised to find that the long sword behind his back was constantly trembling slightly. He stared at the cold-blooded killer on the other side, and the long sword behind his back was slowly unsheathed without being artificially drawn. Suddenly, Yang Xiao's right hand was horizontal in front of him, and the long sword behind his back was tightly held in his hand under the traction of his qi.
The sword body is extraordinarily bright, with a dazzling reflection under the sunlight, and if you look closely, there are ancient lines on it.
Pure Jun Sword, also known as Pure Hook Sword, the tenth in the world's famous sword list, the list of ancient inheritances contains comments: Yang Qihua, such as the hibiscus began to emerge, look at its lines, rotten like the line of the stars, look at its light, muddy like the overflow of water in the pond, look at its break, rock and rock such as trivial stones, look at its talents, such as ice release, this so-called pure hook.
Yang Xiao's momentum holding the pure Jun sword is constantly rising, and those who practice swords don't care about sword moves, sword qi is also very important, and the momentum of martial artists is even more so. The killer on the opposite side stretched out his arms on both sides and rushed forward, Yang Xiao did not take a step forward, but the momentum on his body was like a whale swallowing everything, gradually increasing, becoming majestic and incomparable, and he was angry and bullfighting.
Just twenty steps away from Yang Xiao, the killer suddenly increased his speed again, holding the knife in front of him with both hands, making a stabbing shape, in the blink of an eye, ten steps, eight steps, five steps, the two were about to make contact for the first time, Yang Xiao suddenly took a step forward, the momentum was finished, and the pure Jun sword in his hand swept out.
Zhao Kai only heard a bang, the strong wind in front of him was blowing, and the surrounding trees swayed violently with the wind. The first brazen contact was so imposing. Only then did he truly realize how weak Yang Xiao's so-called fancy martial arts competition was these days.
After the first momentum of the two sides, the assassin took a few steps back, and then floated like a ghost, constantly appearing in the directions around Yang Xiao where ordinary people could not react at all, and stabbed down strangely with his hand, and Yang Xiao also kept changing directions, and the long sword in his hand was used skillfully, and every time he just blocked or dodged the strange hand stab that did not follow common sense.
The speed of the two was so fast that Zhao Kai, who was watching the battle, could only see the afterimage of the two people's moves and the constant sound of metal collision. After another shrill grinding of weapons, this time both of them slid backwards with the help of the rebound. In the blink of an eye, the two of them were dozens of paces away.
Then the two of them, who also retreated, acted in a very different way, and the black-clad assassin just stood calmly where he had retreated, inhaling slowly, but his eyes were still staring at the enemy like snakes. And Yang Xiao was shaking his wrist without grace, and shouted loudly: "No, no, no, the killer of the Earth Character Department is powerful." ”
In the fight between masters, the flow of qi is extremely important, and it is necessary to change the air once at a certain time to ensure that the fight will not be delayed and that the qi machine will not fight back and hurt itself. At this time, Yang Xiao was deliberately ventilating, on the contrary, he was still shouting, obviously far beyond the range of ventilation he could bear.
At this moment, a scene that stunned Zhao Kai appeared. I saw Yang Xiao stick the long sword on the ground, and his hands touched the sleeve tube, as if he was untying something, and then even the cold-blooded killer on the opposite side couldn't sit still, and trembled, only to see several bags of sandbags and several pieces of iron slipping from Yang Xiao's cuffs to the ground, and then he bent down and touched the trouser tube, no accident, it was still sandbags and pieces of iron.
In Zhao Kai's surprised eyes, Yang Xiao lifted the Chunjun Sword with his right hand, twisted his neck, hooked the killer with his left hand, and said with an extremely unbeaten expression: "Come again." ”
The battle started again, but this time Yang Xiao's speed and reaction were obviously much faster, and it seemed that every time he could take the lead in judging the killer's offensive route and move, and soon the killer was defeated and retreated, and Yang Xiao was in relentless pursuit, just when the long sword in Yang Xiao's hand was about to stab the opponent's chest, he saw the killer's left hand stabbing forward, and Yang Xiao had no choice but to block it with a horizontal sword. After that, the killer flipped back, swept back quickly, and the two opened up the distance again in an instant.
Yang Xiao reluctantly stopped his figure and said, "It's really hard to kill." After that, the horizontal sword turned into a lifting sword, and it rushed forward again.
The killer on the opposite side only felt that the momentum was overwhelming, and in desperation, he once again threw out the only hand thorn with a strange technique, and shook out several hidden weapons from his cuffs and threw them together.
Yang Xiao, who rushed forward, kept changing his body shape in the air, and after skillfully dodging the hidden weapon, his speed increased again, and when he was only three steps away from the killer, the pure jun sword was picked out in front of him, and with a poof, the long sword pierced into the killer's chest, and then lifted it, and a few seconds later, Yang Xiao threw the long sword horizontally, throwing the killer's corpse off. Zhao Kai turned his head and endured the discomfort.
Yang Xiao glanced at Zhao Kai, suddenly squatted on the ground, panting, and said loudly: "I'm tired, I'm tired." Zhao Kai was dumbfounded.
