Chapter 66: Life hangs by a thread
The cold wind whimpered, the sky was full of gray and gloomy, in this lonely and cold night, the city of Runan should have been closed with thousands of homes, and there was not a single pedestrian on the street. But in the alley at this time, the sound of killing was indeed earth-shattering, the sound of swords clashing one after another, and the air was even mixed with the smell of blood that was difficult to hide.
The last hole card in Gu Suxiao's hand was only left with more than a dozen black-clothed people with cold faces, but for the loyalty in their hearts, they resolutely used their lives and blood to block the dead soldiers in front of them. Because they know that what they can do now is to throw their heads and spill their blood, and defend their dignity with the long knife in their hands!
"I've long heard that Gu Suxiao, that old guy has a loyal guard in his hand, I never thought that you were so afraid of death. Now I give you two ways, either put down the long knife in your hand and surrender and spare you from death, or ...... Let's go to the underworld and accompany your brothers!" A guy with a gloomy face slowly walked out of the group of dead soldiers, and said in a cold voice.
On the opposite side of him, there were dozens of figures that were originally standing straight in place, but now there were only five or six left, and each of them had countless scars on their bodies, drenched in blood. And at that moment, the leader of the five or six men in black spoke.
"Hahaha, the dead soldiers of the Jiang family are just a group of clowns who jump off the beam! Don't you stay well in that palm-sized place in Wuxia Mountain, and you dare to provoke the tiger whiskers of our Gusu family? Grandpa, we are here today, and we will definitely not bow down to a despicable villain like you! Anyway, now that the head of the family has escaped, as long as the second son comes, he will definitely kill all of you with his own hands and avenge us!"
The leader of the men in black clenched the blood-stained long knife in his hand, looked around at the few men in black beside him, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, we have been favored by the head of the family for so many years, and it is time to use our lives to defend the glory of the Gusu family. Tell me, are you afraid!"
Although the remaining few black-clothed people were already seriously injured, bursts of monstrous blood still erupted from top to bottom, shouting in unison: "Don't be afraid!"
"Hehe, anyway, I've already slaughtered so many of them, and I didn't want to live. Lao Tzu's cheap life has long been fucking enough, and now if you can kill one more, you will earn one!" one of the men in black sneered.
"Yes, since the head of the family has escaped, Xiaohu's kid also has a chance to live well for us, and I'm still worried about a bird, fuck him!" another man in black shouted.
The man opposite them had a solemn face, thinking that he would be able to break their fighting spirit at the last moment, but he never thought that these guys would be so stubborn! He was very angry! He didn't care about persuading these men in black to surrender, he only wanted to slaughter these guys who thought they were loyal!
"Well, well, since you don't know what to do, brothers, give it to me, chop up these people and feed them to the dogs!" the man smiled sadly, and commanded the dozens of dead men behind him.
The five or six black-clothed men on the opposite side shouted loudly and rushed towards the enemy who was more than ten times more numerous than them.
After a burst of knife light, the surroundings quickly quieted down, and the five or six black-clothed men who were originally carrying big knives were now silent......
The guy standing in front of the group of dead soldiers was not the slightest bit happy, but became more and more solemn. In order to deal with these dozen or so seriously injured guys, he actually lost nearly half of the dead soldiers......! Let him be both angry and frightened!
If there were more such loyal subordinates in Gu Suxiao's hands, then they wouldn't have to fight, and they would just surrender. Although the number of these black-clothed men is very small, each of them is like a sharp sword, which can go straight to the heart of the enemy, and this sharp sword will only break, and will never bow their heads and admit defeat!
Mo Wentian and the four of them discussed in the inn for a long time, and then they came up with a more appropriate plan of action. The four of them were divided into two groups, Mo Wentian and Gongsun Kai were responsible for surveying the eastern part of Runan City, while Jiang Feng and Gusu Changfeng were responsible for the west, and the two groups began to search one by one from the side of the city wall, in order to find Gusu Xiao's traces as soon as possible.
In this way, the four of them were nervously busy in pairs according to the plan, although this method was very difficult, but it was also the best way they could think of at the moment.
And at this moment, a lonely figure carried a middle-aged man on his back and walked in the middle of the night in Runan City. I saw that he was panting and sweating profusely, and every step he took seemed to be under great pressure. He carried a blood-stained knife in his hand, and his eyes looked coldly at everything around him.
He knew that in the darkness, there were countless dead soldiers surrounding him, and the middle-aged man on his back!
He is Xiaohu, and now the last guard under Gu Su Xiao!
Xiaohu was sweating profusely and ran forward, tears streaming down his eyes. Thinking of the eldest brother, in order to create a chance for life for themselves and the head of the family, they resolutely and resolutely met the dead soldiers of the Jiang family, who were dozens of times more numerous than them. Thinking of this, Xiaohu couldn't wait to be like the eldest brother, pull a few dead soldiers on their backs, and die a glorious battle.
But he knew that he couldn't even have the qualifications to die now. Because on his back, it is Gu Su Xiao, the head of the Gusu family, who is the master of him and his eldest brothers, and a benefactor!
But at this moment, Xiaohu seemed to hear a burst of shouts from behind him, and he couldn't help but speed up his steps. But he was already seriously injured, and he was running back and forth all night, which had already made his body almost at the limit.
His thighs were constantly trembling, and the meridians all over his body began to spasm, but Xiaohu still didn't stop his steps and ran forward persistently.
And at this moment, Gu Suxiao, who had been sleeping on his back, woke up.
"Xiaohu, you, let me go, you go first, leave me alone......"
Gu Su Xiao's injuries were more serious than Xiaohu's, and at this time, he seemed to be at the end of a strong crossbow, and his whole person was almost about to collapse. Although his body was not too seriously injured, he did suffer a lot of internal injuries.
When he suddenly learned that Gusu Wuji was colluding with the Jiang family, Gusu Xiao's whole body was full of anger and blood, and he almost didn't go mad. Thinking about it, his eldest son actually colluded with outsiders privately and wanted to subvert the power of the entire family, and no one would feel comfortable.
The current Gu Su Xiao is just barely holding on to the breath in his chest, if this breath is dispersed, then his whole person may not be able to wake up.
And Xiaohu also knew the situation of Gu Suxiao now, smiled bitterly, and said lightly: "My lord, don't worry, as long as my Xiaohu still has a breath, I will definitely send you out safely!"
When Gu Su Xiao heard this, two lines of turbid tears couldn't help but flow out of his eyes. A few days ago, he was still the powerful head of the Gusu family, but now he ended up like this.
But what really made him feel sorry was what his eldest son Gu Su Wuji did.
And at this moment, the dead soldiers of the Jiang family in the distance had also discovered the traces of the two of them, and were hurrying towards the direction where they were.
Xiaohu turned into an alley and put Gu Suxiao in the corner of the wall, presumably this place is where those small merchants and vendors sell things on weekdays, so Xiaohu saw a tattered wooden table next to him at a glance, he put Gu Suxiao in the corner of the wall, and then reached out and turned the wooden table over, covering Gu Suxiao's figure.
Gu Suxiao knew what Xiaohu wanted to do, but at this time, he was already lacking in blood, and even if he wanted to speak, he couldn't speak, so he could only let Xiaohu cover his body and watch him walk out with the blood-stained long knife in his hand.
Xiaohu's whole body was numb, but he knew that he must not fall down at this time, because behind him was Gu Su Xiao, the head of the Gusu family, who was the benefactor who saved his life in the first place!
Big brother, brothers, my little tiger is not a bad seed, when I pull a few more people on my back, I will accompany you!
A look of determination flashed in Xiaohu's eyes, and he couldn't help but clench the long knife in his hand and walked towards the group of Jiang family dead soldiers not far ahead.
Just when he was about to come to the group of dead soldiers, Xiaohu shouted, and the momentum of the whole person suddenly rose, and there were no extra words, just the long knife in his hand rushed straight towards the dozens of dead soldiers in front of him.
But after all, he is just a person, a knife, how can he be able to defeat so many powerful Jiang family dead soldiers?
After half a ring, the long knife in Xiaohu's hand fell to the ground fiercely, making a crisp sound, and his whole body fell in a pool of blood.
Although he was dead, there was no trace of regret in the corners of his eyes, and there was only endless worry. Without himself, I'm afraid that the head of the family is really in danger.
And at this moment, a person slowly walked over from behind the group of dead soldiers, and it was actually the old man who met Gusu Wuji in the Gusu compound!
The old man took a deep look at the little tiger who fell in a pool of blood, shook his head and said, "Alas, pity a loyal and righteous man......"
After retracting his gaze, the old man walked straight in the direction of Gu Su Xiao. Although Xiaohu had already blocked Gu Suxiao's figure with a wooden table, who was the old man? With his unfathomable martial arts, he could feel the breath of ordinary people dozens of zhang away.
After lifting the dilapidated wooden table, the old man saw Gu Su Xiao who was dying.
"Hehe, the head of the Gusu family, who was majestic and majestic back then, is now so unexpectedly unexpected. Alas, what a pity!"
Gu Suxiao wanted to speak, but a puddle of blood spit out from his mouth, and now he was already seriously injured, and he couldn't spit out a word at all.
The old man shook his head, looked deeply at Gu Su Xiao, who was leaning against the corner, and said softly: "Gu Su family master, how about we make a deal? Maybe the old man is happy, and he can spare your life." ”
Gu Su Xiao's eyes stared straight at the old man, but he didn't speak.
The old man smiled, laughing so rampantly, so unscrupulously: "Hehe, don't look at me with such lofty eyes, now the old man can kill you with a finger, if you are interested in cooperating with us, help us get rid of Gusu Wuji, and make the entire Gusu family a vassal of my Jiang family, then the old man can assure you today that your life is absolutely safe." ”
Gu Su Xiao was still staring at the old man coldly, the old man's face suddenly sank, he saw disdain and ridicule in Gu Su Xiao's eyes, but he didn't see a little bit of praying for mercy.
It made him angry.
"Hmph, even if you are the head of the Gusu family, although our Jiang family really doesn't dare to provoke your Gusu family easily on weekdays, but what are you now? It's just a dying person who has been seriously injured!"
The old man laughed gloomily and said coldly: "Since you toast and don't eat and drink, then don't blame the old man for being ruthless!"
After speaking, he raised his right hand and slapped it towards Gu Su Xiao's Heavenly Spirit Gai.
The palm wind whistled, cutting through the air around it, leaving only a whimper. If this is slapped squarely, the brains can be fucking squirted out!
And at this moment, a deep voice came from a distance: "If you want to move the head of the Gusu family, have you asked us!"
Accompanied by this voice, a black broadsword with a chill rushed towards the old man's chest.
If the old man could ruthlessly expel this palm, then Gu Su Xiao would definitely not be able to escape the fate of death, and he would probably not be able to dodge and be seriously injured.
But although the old man treats the enemy ruthlessly, he is merciful to himself, even if he exchanges his serious injuries for Gu Su Xiao's life, he will never do it!
Therefore, at that most critical moment, the old man retracted the palm that was about to slap on Gu Suxiao's head. And his whole body flashed towards the rear quickly.
The long black knife cut through the air and poured into the wall behind Gu Su Xiao, more than a foot deep!
The old man was shocked to see it, this kind of means, this kind of strength, the strength will definitely not be mediocre!
At this time, the person who spoke just now also walked over slowly, and it turned out to be Xuansha Banner Lord, Xuansha! Behind him, there were more than a dozen subordinates.
The old man looked up and down, judging from the aura exuded from his body, his strength was definitely not inferior to the peak of the Mixed Yuan Realm, although it was not necessarily his opponent, but it would definitely be a big trouble.
"Who are you, dare to obstruct our Jiang family?" the old man said in a cold voice.
Xuan Xuan glanced at Gu Su Xiao who was leaning against the corner of the wall, and his heart couldn't help but sink, just one glance, he already knew that Gu Su Xiao was in danger now, if he didn't treat it in time, it would definitely be a fatal death!
However, Xuan Sha also knew that if he wanted to save Gu Su Xiao, he had to repel the old man opposite. But although he was strong and had been immersed in the peak of the Mixed Yuan Realm for many years, he was not too sure that he would be able to defeat that old man.
He had already felt from the aura exuded by the other party that this old man's strength was definitely not below him, and even surpassed it.
"Hehe, when did the people of the Jiang family come to this Runan City? Could it be that you still want to usurp the power of the Gusu family?" Xuan Xuan said coldly.
The old man carefully looked at the dozen or so black-clothed people behind Xuan Sha, turned his head to Xuan Sha and said, "You are from the Demon Sect?"
"Hahaha, yes, I am the Demon Sect Xuansha Banner Master, Xuansha! Today, Gu Su Xiao we are saved, if your Jiang family doesn't want to be our enemy, I advise you not to disturb this troubled water!"
The green tendons on the old man's face trembled, and he stared at Xuan Sha intently and said, "What if you are a member of the Demon Sect? Today, Gu Su Xiao's life is going to be decided, even if your sect leader comes, the old man will never back down!"
As soon as the words fell, the old man's whole body suddenly exuded a burst of monstrous blood, and the battle intent in his body boiled violently.
"Give it all to me! Slaughter this group of self-righteous dogs and cubs!" the old man waved his hand and commanded the dozens of dead soldiers of the Jiang family behind him.
After speaking, the whole person took the lead in rushing towards Xuansha, and he actually wanted to strike first.
Xuansha's eyes had been staring at the old man, and when he saw his figure move, he didn't say much, and rushed forward with the black big knife in his hand. And the dozen or so subordinates behind him also followed Xuansha's figure and charged straight ahead.
Even if the strength of the other party is far above their own, even if their number is less than half of the other party's, they will not hesitate in the slightest, and will only charge forward with the long knife in their hands.
This is the reason why the Demon Sect can win the martial arts!
The black big knife in Xuansha's hand slashed towards the old man, and at the moment when the blade was about to slash at the old man, the old man suddenly took a strange side step and came to Xuansha's side. I saw that his right hand was in the palm of his hand, and a stream of majestic true qi gushed out from the dantian, and the palm of his hand waved straight towards Xuansha.
Xuansha's face was solemn, and this single move put him in a predicament. Although the old man's moves are simple, but at their level, the simpler the moves, the more difficult it is to deal with.
Seeing the ferocity of the old man's palm, Xuan Xuan knew that he couldn't dodge, so he was desperate. I saw that he clenched the long knife in his hand, and didn't care about the old man's palm that was about to slap him, and changed his moves abruptly, and the big knife swept towards the old man's neck with a whistling wind.
Although the old man's palm was enough to seriously injure Xuansha, or even kill him on the spot, the long knife in Xuansha's hand was not vegetarian, and it would definitely kill the old man's head in a different place.
A touch of murderous intent flashed in the old man's eyes, and this guy on the other side was fighting with himself as soon as he came up! This made him very unhappy!
However, if the number one master of the Wuxia Mountain Jiang family was to sink into the sand like this in the hands of Xuan Sha, then he would really regret his death.
Therefore, at the moment when his palm was about to slap on Xuan Sha's body, the old man quickly retreated, and with one step, it was dozens of zhang away, and he could have escaped this fatal blow!
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to want to play with the old man as soon as you came up, the people of the Demon Sect are really a group of crazy people!" said the old man with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Crazy, there's more to come!" Xuan Xuan pursed his dry lips and said coldly.
