Chapter 21: The Strongest Sword to Slay Demons
Zhang Jiuling led a large team of people and horses, and followed the clues left by Li Zhi to find the Xiaoxiang Pavilion along the way. When he saw Li Zhi's knife on the way, he almost cried bitterly, and concluded that Li Zhi had suffered an accident. While being sad, on the one hand, he also regretted why he didn't know the situation earlier and stopped Li Zhi, and he also blamed why Li Zhi was so impulsive...
When I really led the team to step into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I saw such a scene. Li Zhi was sitting at the table next to him, pouring himself a drink. A man, apparently a ghost, was nailed to the floor of the hall with two short knives crossed.
When Zhang Jiuling saw that Li Zhi was safe and sound, he finally couldn't help but shed old tears. It took a while to give Li Zhi a chance and explain the situation to him in detail.
"What is the so-called ascension to the sky?" Zhang Jiuling took out all the people.
"Idiot, why should I tell you, you dead old man. If you hadn't taken the Zhen'an Division and targeted us everywhere, we would have been..."
"You and I have different positions, but we can still make a deal. ”
When Li Zhi heard the two words of transaction in Zhang Jiuling's mouth, his heart sank, although he absolutely did not believe that Zhang Jiuling would do anything to betray the Zhen'an Division and sell the interests of the people, but for the word transaction that Zhang Jiuling said, he couldn't think of anything that could be traded by this person and a ghost.
"Idiot, are you going to let me go?" "If you let me go, Lao Tzu will consider telling you." ”
"I'm sorry, this is the responsibility, the old man can't do it. But what if the old man can prove to you that there is no such thing as 'one step to the sky' in the world?"
"Idiot, how is it possible! The road to heaven is said by the lord himself, how can it be fake. ”
"I don't know if there is a fake old man, but the Zhen'an Division has not been idle these days, judging from the information we have obtained, there should be more than one ghost in you, who was chosen by that adult, and is starting the road to heaven. We've found a few places like this one that are dedicated to you ghosts to complete the path to heaven, right? But have you ever seen what happens to the ghosts who fail on the way to the heavens?"
"Failure?" the man was in a trance, muttering to himself.
"Now the old man has no evidence, I'm afraid you won't fully believe what the old man said, some of the 'things' left by those failed ghosts are in the secret room of my Zhen'an Division, the old man can take you over to watch, and when you see those scenes there, you will naturally believe that what the old man said is true. ”
"Take me to see it?" the man raised his head and stared at Zhang Jiuling.
"That's right, if the old man can prove to you with his own eyes that there is no such way to the sky at all, I wonder if you can tell the old man the specific situation of the road to the sky?"
"My lord!" Li Zhi wanted to open his mouth to stop him, but was stopped by Zhang Jiuling waving his hand.
"Li Zhi, he will agree, because according to the available information, even the old man knows that once this so-called 'ascending to the sky' is opened, there will be no turning back. "When the time comes, it will be easier to die." ”
Chen Ye finally came back from the end of the retreat, not to mention Li Zhi, even Zhang Jiuling himself didn't know where Chen Ye went to retreat, and what specific things he did.
But the first time Li Zhi saw Chen Ye, he knew that Chen Ye had become stronger again.
Chen Ye doesn't feel as amazing and glamorous as Li Bai, as soon as he makes a move, he is impressed by his talent, which makes people think that they can't admit that these talented talents can never be possessed except for those given by God. And Chen Ye's strength is silent, but invincible, he can make people feel the gap between you and him, but you know that this gap can never be made up by yourself.
But such a person will never be satisfied with the current ability, he is not just chasing the strength of his own strength, but when he feels that the Zhen'an Division needs him to become stronger, he will continue to force himself to become stronger!
After Zhang Jiuling knew that Chen Ye had returned, he called Li Zhi and Chen Ye to Endless Zhai. In addition to informing Chen Ye of the information from the mouth of the big ghost captured last time, it was also to assign a new combat mission to the two!
From the mouth of the big ghost captured by Li Zhi, it was learned that in order to let these big ghosts who surrendered to him complete the road to heaven, "that lord" not only operated and set up a number of densely populated places like Lingyuan Pavilion and Xiaoxiang Pavilion in Chang'an City, but also maintained by various forces, so as to have a safe place and enough food to complete the ascension. There is also a team composed of all people, known as "Ghost Slash", which specializes in hunting the ghosts of the Zhen'an Division to provide excellent supplements for these big ghosts.
Li Zhi feels a chill when he thinks about it now.
As for the name and identity of "that adult", the big ghost himself did not know, and if he asked a few more words, it seemed to evoke some extremely terrifying memory, showing fear from the heart, so that he could not speak.
"We took this big ghost away, and the other party will definitely detect the leakage of information, so please be careful when you are out and about!" Zhang Jiuling instructed all the ghost slayers in the Zhen'an Division.
The expected revenge came surprisingly quickly.
But what Chen Ye didn't expect was that the other party actually sent only one person to deal with him, was he underestimated?
It's still the other party, and they also have absolute self-confidence.
Blades in the air, familiar daggers. It's the masked woman from last time!
Immediately after her actions, it was unbelievable that she actually took off the mask she had been wearing.
It was a face that could hardly be called a "face", full of devastation, and even the facial features were blurred. This is a face that will never be forgotten once you see it.
If you are not afraid of your identity being exposed, then there is only one possibility, and there will be a person who dies here between Chen Ye and this woman today.
The sparks that popped up from the collision of blades were almost an entire street.
Chen Ye never felt that he was the strongest ghost slayer in the Zhen'an Division, and he had the capital to despise the enemy, and even he never had the consciousness of being "the strongest".
This time was the same, he didn't dare to hold it up because he had become stronger in retreat, but still held the handle of the sword with both hands as he had first learned under the guidance of the kendo master, and swung each sword seriously.
The opponent was obviously surprised that Chen Ye's strength had increased so much since the last fight, so after a few fights, he was no longer careless. No longer obsessed with the confrontation with Chen Ye in terms of strength.
The last time the woman fought with Chen Ye, she was holding a dagger, and she received Chen Ye's thunderous blow with one hand, shocking everyone present. But in fact, there is also a mystery inside, one-handed resolution, both to show strength, to deter the ghost slayer in it, when the enemy is afraid of his own strength, then it will be easier for him to retreat from the Ling Yuan Pavilion, which is extremely beneficial to her who didn't want to fight at that time. And more importantly, using one hand is also determined by her choice of weapon, the dagger. Only with one hand can she give full play to the flexibility and mobility of the dagger, which is the most advantageous weapon for her, who is good at assassination.
And with a dagger alone, she took the "strongest sword" of Zhen'an Division with one hand, which undoubtedly reflects her strength, but her strength does not lie in the strength of her strength, but in the accuracy of the knife. She was able to block Chen Ye's powerful knife, outsiders seemed to think that her strength and strength were far above Chen Ye, but in fact, she accurately saw the gap between the thunders, and then sent the dagger to the right position, and stopped the knife momentum.
Now she's putting that accuracy to the fullest. As a woman, she certainly did not have an advantage over Chen Ye in terms of physical strength and strength, but as an assassin, she made good use of her flexibility and precision, not choosing to fight Chen Ye with every knife, but using dodge to dodge those attacks that could be avoided, and then using precise strikes to defuse those attacks that could not be avoided and were more deadly. And in the gap between her opponent's attacks, that's when she causes trouble for the opponent.
The opponent is very strong, this is Chen Ye's most intuitive feeling. Not only does his attack always have a feeling of being unable to vent his strength when his fist is smashed on the water, but what is even more difficult to deal with is that the other party can always create some unexpected "trouble" for himself, as if he has seen every knife he has, as if he has seen the gap between his knife and the knife. If the cracks cannot be eliminated, then these "troubles" cannot be avoided.
In that case, that's it.
Chen Ye's gap in the knife this time was particularly large, allowing his opponent to leave a deep wound on his left arm, and he just took a deep breath to himself. It's really a long breath, like a whale sucking water. By once again without hesitation, like every knife before, swing it out!
But this time, the gap between the knife and the knife disappeared.
Because this is such a long move, it starts and ends. But the space to escape is limited. When I was forced into a small corner, I saw that this knife without any gap was about to fall on my body.
Is it a hard bet on a chance or a posture to seek the least damage?
The woman gave a third option: she completed a somersault in the space where it was difficult to turn, and in the process of her body rising, she used the dagger to borrow a little force from the body of the knife that was slashing horizontally, and then crossed the top of Chen Ye's head and came behind her.
It's a familiar feeling to rely on instinctive fighting instincts in an impossible situation!
Chen Ye seemed to see himself.
The woman also felt the same way, after she turned over and came to Chen Ye's back, she handed out a knife, which was originally a knife that she was aiming to get, but Chen Ye took a big step with his left foot as if he had eyes on the back of his head, once as a fulcrum, so that his body leaned forward to the limit, and then waved the knife with his backhand, and even completed a counterattack. This man can fight in any situation, and he can fight back in a desperate situation.
With such a similar method of fighting, a possibility came to the woman's mind.
If so, then this person must be removed, and he will become the only weakness of the ghost slash.
There are many ways to destroy a person, such as defeating him.
Since she was not completely sure of killing Chen Ye here, the woman turned her mind to destroy Chen Ye's self-confidence here.
It is necessary to quickly improve one's strength, let the qi and blood flow faster, let the blood boil like boiling water, accelerate the beating of the heart, and recall the most painful things in life. Using special exercises, blood rushes through the body, hot like flickering flames, and every time it passes through a blood vessel, it takes away a trace of vitality and vitality. That's right, that's it, even if it's a matter of burning your life.
This time, the woman chose to face Chen Ye head-on, and the blow she threw was so fast that Chen Ye was almost invisible. But Chen Ye didn't doubt his swinging of the sword, because he didn't doubt that he had practiced swinging the sword in such ordinary training millions or tens of millions of times.
But before Chen Ye's knife fell on the woman, the woman's dagger had already arrived first, nailed to the blade of Chen Ye's ghost slashing knife from the side, and the knife deviated from its original trajectory first, and then the sound of something shattering, and the blade of the knife shattered one by one.
The strongest sword of the Zhen'an Division has been broken!
After completing this life-burning blow, the woman did not love to fight, and immediately withdrew. My goal has been achieved.
