Chapter 14: Kill it
The robed swordsman stood up, pulled out the sword with great weight, removed the letter from it, and unfolded it. After a quick glance, he handed it to another person.
It seems that this man is illiterate.
The other took the letter with his arms outstretched, read it carefully for a moment, and then looked up.
"I don't need to. He said, "Kill them all." ”
"Huh?" the thin-eyed, high-cheeked swordsman shook his head slightly and sighed, "What a trouble. There are quite a few of them. ”
Then he stood up with his sword in his hand, and turned to the dart board a dozen paces away.
The five men behind him also stood up.
The invisible momentum and killing intent suddenly spread in the dark night, and even the bonfire behind them seemed to dim slightly and became shrinking.
"The time has come. Qiao Duanhong said in a low voice.
He can lip-read. Although they were more than a dozen steps away and the light was not bright, the old Jianghu's vision was not wrong. Seeing the momentum and expressions of those six people again, he knew that the other party had murderous intentions.
The reason is that flying sword handbook. Although he didn't know exactly what was written on it. But now he knew that in addition to the six masters not far away, there might be another super master somewhere—a super master beyond his ability to understand the "martial arts" thing.
It was at this time that a ridiculous thought suddenly arose in his heart......
Maybe that person wasn't some martial arts master.
Maybe...... is a monk......
The kind of true monk who has always existed only in the word of mouth of mortals, and which is rare for ordinary people to see in their lifetime. Or "immortals".
But in the face of life and death like this, all he can do is to make himself more courageous. At least not to be killed obediently.
So he repeated: "The time has come." Be prepared. ”
Then he looked at his daughter and said in a decisive tone, "Jiaxin." After a while, you follow Sifu. Old guest, old six, we have to pester them. The forest is dense, just let the children run out. ”
Qiao Jiaxin and Qiao Sifu wanted to talk. But Qiao Duanhong snorted: "Shut up." Now is not the time for you to be willful. If someone runs out, take a detour back to Weicheng, tell the people in the dart board to take the money and leave immediately, and don't show up again in this life. ”
He looked at the six people, and then glanced at the dark and gloomy shadows of the trees: "This matter may be related to those people." ”
This rare severity stunned people. Qiao Sifu felt panic in his tone, but he still had doubts: "Uncle...... Who?"
"Cultivator. ”
Qiao Duanhong glanced at Liu Laodao, who was whispering to Li Yunxin, "A real cultivator." ”
The two groups faced each other in the dim light of the fire, fifteen paces apart.
The swordsman with thin eyes and high cheeks showed a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth: "Why bother. It's better for you and me to save some effort. You people are like ants in my eyes. If you really move, you can't match the power of my sword - why bother dying. ”
Qiao Duanhong stared at the thin sword in his hand and didn't speak, but his spirit had reached its peak. He knew it was probably the last battle of his life - but he didn't even know why it was going to happen.
Why did you rob them, why did you kill them?
It's a question that everyone has to figure out on their minds, but no one asks it.
Until they heard the young man say in a brisk and confused tone, "But my lords, why do you want to kill us?"
No one has the heart to laugh at him for being "stupid" or "naïve" or "fearless" anymore. Even Qiao Jiaxin only sighed in her heart. The little girl felt very sad - she didn't expect that "love at first sight" happened to her for the first time, and the other party turned out to be such a person.
However, this sentence really broke the tense atmosphere in the forest. The swordsman with thin eyes and high cheeks was originally about to pounce, but when he heard this, the expression on his face changed wonderfully.
It looks a bit like "relieved".
The swordsman restrained the castration, sneered, flicked the thin sword in his palm with his fingers, and looked at the dozen people not far away with mocking eyes: "It's okay, let you be a ghost." When we arrive at the Netherworld, don't misreport the names of our six brothers. ”
"Our six brothers are the six ghosts of the river. Have you ever heard of that name?"
Qiao Duanhong was slightly stunned, and then frowned: "Six ghosts in the river...... Haven't you already been decisively killed by the Black Knife?!"
"Huh. If it weren't for the fact that our brother met a nobleman, maybe it would be the truth. Now...... a hint of hatred flashed in the swordsman's eyes, "After doing this, our brother will go to him to settle this account!"
"Hey, that sounds like a cow. The young man's voice interjected in a very discordant voice, "What nobleman? I shouldn't have mixed well with your name before—the man who called the Black Knife Ying Ran sounds like a person." I'm guessing you're once a hated villain, and then you caused public outrage and were eliminated by the Black Knife in the name of love and justice - oh oh, about to be eliminated, and then met the nobleman. Who the hell is it?"
The swordsman didn't get angry, but smiled gloomily: "Hehehe, speaking of this nobleman, do you ordinary people know about the Lingxu Sword Sect?"
The group looked at each other. In fact, almost everyone had heard of the name Ling Xuan Sword Sect -- which state capital didn't have a few "Ling Xuan Sword Sect"? I just didn't know which one he was talking about.
But Li Yunxin immediately slapped a few times, and the crisp applause came far away in the night: "Wow, isn't it the Lingxu Sword Sect of the legendary Seventy-two Schools?!"
The swordsman smiled proudly: "You have a little knowledge." ”
He arched his hand towards the east: "That noble person is a monk of the Lingxu Sword Sect, his honorific name is Huainanzi, and he is a disciple of the head of the family, and it is the one who has entered the world and the tribulation - do you know what the tribulation is?"
Naturally, no one responded to him. He began to talk to himself. In fact, this person doesn't know much, what he said, Li Yunxin heard Chi Songzi and Kang Cangzi say.
At the end, the swordsman said, "...... So the elixir of the six of us brothers was passed on. If you eat just one, your strength will increase greatly. If you're lucky today, you'll probably be able to see the fairy ever. It's a pity that the Immortal Chief can't come today for another important matter...... You people are useless. ”
"Then it's a killing calamity. After listening to his words, Li Yunxin said, "So you robbed us and drove us here like pigs and sheep, waiting for your immortal chief to come." When he came, he killed. I think he's going to have to kill a lot of people -- probably not just the six of you, but other puppets out there. ”
"People like you find people for him, and then he comes and kills them all. After he got tired of killing and was tired of it, he thought, 'Wow, this thing is really boring, I'd better be a quiet beautiful man'...... Forget it, survive this catastrophe. Isn't that right?"
Li Yunxin's tone became serious.
The swordsman looked at him in surprise and smiled coldly, "You kid knows a lot—what is your origin?"
At this moment, the group of people in the dart bureau had roughly become complete spectators - even the most well-informed Qiao Duanhong was confused by the discussions about the cave sky, the genre, and the catastrophe just now.
After all, he is not a "cultivator" like Liu Laodao - even Liu Laodao does not know the details and taboos of many famous schools.
But that didn't stop him from becoming aware of ......
I looked away again.
Li Yunxin, who was once considered to be a "son of a businessman who does not understand the world and pretends to be sophisticated and calm", actually showed a method that surprised him.
He didn't know how the boy had done it—it was a matter of life and death, but in a few words, the six killers had been swept away with what they knew in a strange and crazy way of showing off.
Something isn't right. This is what kind of means the teenager used. Qiao Duanhong thought in his heart, otherwise it would definitely not be like this...... Who the hell is this boy? So we're saved tonight?!
Qiao Duanhong glanced at Li Yunxin again, and his gaze fell on Liu Laodao behind him.
His heart jumped. Liu Laodao looks like a different person now. It is no longer cringe, but calm. He sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes slightly closed, and his mouth was full of words, and he looked ......
Yes. In fact, it was him! Qiao Duanhong suddenly felt that his heart was truly and completely down-to-earth. In this way, everything can be explained - Liu Laodao is really hidden. But as far as he knows, there are indeed some high-ranking people who like to pretend to be crazy.
What did the swordsman say just now that cultivators have gone through tribulations, maybe this Liu Laodao is really a cultivator, and he is also going through tribulations!
This explanation is much more reasonable than "that young man is actually a surprisingly amazing genius" - how can there be so many strangers in this world, and how can he happen to be bumped into by himself!
It was at this moment that he saw Liu Laodao's right hand in his sleeve leaning out and pinching it.
Almost at the same time, the voice of the swordsman who was talking over there suddenly became high-pitched: "...... Do you know how much suffering the six of us brothers have endured to have today's skills? I think that the black knife was going to kill us all at the beginning, just when we were ants. Who are the ants today, and who dares to look down on us? When we have taken care of your business, we will go back to the river, and we will know to the people who used to be ...... Ha, ha, ha, we have also made a name for ourselves in this world today-"
At this time, not only Qiao Duanhong, but even the most sluggish people discovered the abnormality of these six swordsmen.
They are no longer arrogant and cold, but have become mad. It's like a few crazy people holding their swords and talking to themselves, not caring about who else is around them or what kind of situation it is.
From how the six of them got acquainted, how they learned the arts, how they broke into the name of the "Six Ghosts in the River", to what they did, how many people they killed, how they got to know Huainanzi of the Lingxu Sword Sect, how they took the pills, and where they went afterwards - they all shook out.
Li Yunxin already knew everything he wanted to know.
Then he realized that there might be some trouble.
Because now he has figured out the identities of Akamatsu and Kang Cangzi.
