Chapter Twenty-Seven: Bloody Storm God Shop
Xiao Luo put away the knife in his hand, the alcohol in his mind slowly sobered up, looking at the broken limbs all over the ground, he suddenly realized that he was out of control again, and couldn't help sighing: "The world only knows that I Xiao Luo is addicted to alcohol, but they don't know that I have been drinking for many years, and now I am drunk and murderous, why are you forcing me to kill the killer?"
Xiao Luo shook his head, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, since Jia Yuan and the others were dead, the five thousand soldiers and horses in Yudang Mountain could be said to be leaderless, and staying here was always a big problem, so it was better to exterminate them all. The shallower Xiao Luo's drinking, the heavier his killing heart became, he was deeply shaken by the killing intent he generated, and when he began to become decisive in killing, even he couldn't tell.
Xiao Luo returned to the Fengshen shop in a trance, the surrounding fires had already been extinguished, but the sporadic firelight appeared and disappeared like fireflies, which made him even more annoyed. He wanted to return to Yundu, so he stood downstairs and shouted: "Short line, Jia Yuan and the others have been killed by me, quickly return to the camp with me!"
Seeing that no one responded even after shouting a few times, Xiao Luo's heart tightened, and he hurriedly flew to the top floor, only to see that although there was no open flame in the attic, there was a small puff of smoke filling the air.
Xiao Luoding looked closely, and found that the person on the ground was Qiu Xiaoxing, so he stepped forward and took him in his arms, he called Qiu Xiaoxing's name lightly, and tested his snort, and found that his body was stiff, and there was cold oozing, but the breath in his nasal cavity had already been clean. He thought to himself that he had only left a stick of incense, who could kill Qiu Xiaoxing in such a short time, you must know that Qiu Xiaoxing was the chief envoy of the guard, and his cultivation was already at the top of the 'Void Valley', and even he himself was not sure that he could kill him in such a short time.
Xiao Luo's expression was solemn, he felt that a faceless face was peeking at him in the dark, he carefully examined Qiu Xiaoxing's corpse, and found that his neck was twisted behind him, his eyes were round, his eyes were prominent, and he had a shocked expression. No other wounds were found on his body, only a penetrating wound on his chest that had a fatal effect, blood seeping from his chest, and after the cold had subsided, the meridians in his chest seemed to reactivate, and the blood stains on his chest slowly spread.
Xiao Xiao pressed the wound with his hand, and he could still feel that the residual cold of the wound was slowly melting by the heat of the blood, and he suddenly remembered that there was another person who died under the same method, that is, the left Tian'an of the Jiali Temple who died in the middle of the month.
Xiao Xiao gasped, and a smell of blood completely dispelled his alcohol like an initiation. He muttered alone: "Die under the ice blade again, this is absolutely impossible, Bai Zixiang is obviously in the cloud capital now, it is absolutely impossible to come here to kill people, could it be..."
He suddenly noticed a neat line of blood marks on the ground, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly grabbed Qiu Xiaoxing's shoulders and hugged him in his arms.
"Short line, I knew you wouldn't die so easily, you tell me the murderer's appearance first, um... Well... I got it!"
Xiao Luo slowly stood up, his eyes were like torches, staring straight at the corner behind him. The attic has octagonal windows open on all sides, but this corner is not opened, the light is not smooth, and the dust floats in the air, slowly falling on a figure.
Xiao Luo sacrificed his talisman true qi, the green tendons in his palms burst out, and the true yuan was constantly gathering on his hands, the murderer who killed Qiu Xiaoxing must be the man in black in front of him, just waiting for him to appear, Xiao Luo planned to defeat him with the strongest move!
One person is in the light and the other is in the dark, both sides seem to be waiting for the other party to make a move, and after holding each other for a long time, Xiao Luo still maintains a half-volleyed body, he understands that this person's cultivation is definitely not inferior to his own, instead of a tentative attack, it is better to wait for the other party to deduct a flaw and kill with one blow!
"How did you find me?"
The black shadow man suddenly spoke, Xiao Luo's heart tightened, only to feel that the voice seemed familiar, this person's voice was thick and powerful, and there seemed to be a space in the attic.
"Is it because of the blood on the ground? But how do you know that I haven't left?"
Xiao Luo replied: "I'm just suspicious, so I lied that Qiu Xiaoxing is not dead, it was your own heart that made waves, and when your body moved, I noticed that you hadn't left yet." ”
"Hehe, I haven't even noticed that my body has moved, and the patrol of the temple really lives up to its reputation. ”
"Being able to kill the former beloved general with one move, so ruthless, General Situ is not a person who kills decisively!"
The black shadow man walked out of the shadows with a smile on his face, revealing his burly figure, only to see that his face was like a heavy jujube, his eyes were like copper bells, his half-inch beard was wrapped in his cheeks, his eyes were like fire burning everything, he was dressed in a black red brocade robe, his hands were behind his back, his feet were on deerskin dry boots, his legs were stride, calm and powerful, and he was unhurried and cooperated without flaws, just like Situ Hongyuan's personality.
Situ Hongyuan approached Xiao Luo's side before clapping his hands and said, "Xiao Sitian is really insightful, but I still don't know something, how did you guess my identity?"
"Although I don't usually meet the general much, I can't forget the general's voice and appearance, and as soon as the general speaks, I guess three points, plus Qiu Xiaoxing died under the ice blade, so I believe that the general did it. ”
"Everyone in the world knows that I am good at revealing the truth, but Qiu Xiaoxing obviously died under the ice blade, how can you guess that I did it?"
"Water is invisible, but it can breed all things, and my third brother Zuo Tian'an also died under this kind of ice blade, but I also know very well that the person who killed him was not a general, but this person was a person who cultivated the water path like the general. ”
"The person you refer to is Bai Ziqi, yes, he and I study each other's water path method, on the basis of your 'Breaking the Sky Knife Method', he and I tried to refine the dew into frost, gather water and turn ice, and finally break through the limit, take water can be used as a blade, and practice out'Cold Ice Knife Qi', which can be defended and attacked, but it is not possible to break through the realm of 'Heavenly Ribbon' for a long time, otherwise with the understanding of the two of us, I believe it will not be worse than the extreme way!"
Xiao was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect that this 'Cold Ice Knife Qi' was actually similar to the 'Void Breaking Knife Technique' he had practiced, but when he studied the Knife Technique, he had no scruples in front of Bai Zixiang, so he had already secretly memorized the moves in his heart, and worked with Situ Hongyuan to study this 'Cold Ice Knife Qi', this understanding was really better than his own, especially the fatal knife wound that killed Zuo Tian'an and Qiu Shortxing, it seemed to have a more powerful lethality than his own 'Void Breaking Knife Technique'.
"General Situ and my second brother Bai Zixiang are so close, in addition to refining this 'cold ice sword qi', I'm afraid there are other plans, right?"
"Yes, today my identity is exposed, and I simply put out the plan and disposition, I intend to replace Yelu Jinyun's position for a long time, twenty years ago I was born and died to clear his worries and internal troubles, so that he succeeded to the throne smoothly, but he has gradually weakened my military power over the years, and the fierce generals in my hands have been contained in the Wangcheng garrison camp one by one, and there are not many examples of my lieutenants being executed or dismissed from their posts for their past failures. At the same time, with the help of the Jiali Temple to suppress my forces, I, as an important minister of Yundu, should assist Yelu Jinyun to sit firmly in the country, but in order to balance the forces on both sides of the Jiali Temple, he did not hesitate to treat me and Jidao Feiqi as opposing pawns, in fact, he only did this to make his position as a monarch more stable, and weakened the overall power of Yundu, I can even foresee the day when the gate of Yundu is invaded by foreign tribes, all of this is due to selfishness, yes, it is Yelu Jinyun's selfishness that promotes the day when Yundu is destroyed!"
"So you teamed up with Bai Zixiang to collude with foreign countries to attack Yundu, and let tens of thousands of Yundu people fall into the flames of war, I think you are more selfish than the monarch. ”
"I have no choice but to approach death first to have a chance of eternal life. ”
"When the Luo Sheng ronin attacked the Yu Dan Mountain, it should have been the general, you deliberately deceived and disappeared, but in fact, you lived in the Luo Sheng camp and revealed all the Yundu defenses to Luo Sheng, causing the Yundu guards on the Yu Dan Mountain to be attacked by the Luo Sheng ronin repeatedly, yes and no?"
"That's right, I discussed with He Jia, the monarch of Luo Shengguo, and borrowed his troops to attack the east of Yundu, Yu Dan Mountain was already at my fingertips, who knew that you Jiali Temple Chong Wanzhong led troops to reinforce, and Luo Shengguo was defeated and retreated one after another on the frontal battlefield, but this also happened to make the air defense of Yundu West Gate City weak, Bai Zixiang took the opportunity to inform Qin Tiancang, the monarch of Rizhao State, to make an appointment to capture the west gate of Yundu, and I thought that I had already succeeded, but unfortunately you didn't know anything. ”
"I didn't expect you to persuade Rizhao and Luo Sheng to attack Yundu at the same time, but I don't know what you used to bribe them?"
"These two countries have always wanted to take Yundu as their own territory, in fact, they are peeking into the secret method of cultivating the fate of my Yundu, once this is used as a bribe, how can the two of them resist? I use the strategy of 'two tigers competing for food' to make Yundu suffer from the enemy, I and Bai Zixiang profit from it, he takes the Jiali Temple, and I grab the Guiyuan Temple, although I promise to use the method of Yundu cultivation as a bargaining chip, but as long as the 'Meridian Altar' and the 'Heavenly Ribbon Heart Sutra' are with us, they have no way to cultivate the deepest cultivation of Yundu. ”
Xiao Xiao sneered: "The general is not afraid of Rizhao and Luo Sheng's face?"
"I have the law code in my hand to check and balance both sides, if one country is contrary, I will definitely unite the other side to fight together, and the balance of victory will tilt in time, Qin Tiancang and He Jia are unwilling to watch Yundu surrender to their opponents, so naturally they don't dare to act rashly, how can I be afraid that they will turn their faces?"
"Wonderful, I can't imagine that the general has a far-sighted plan and has already thought about the follow-up plans, but if you tell me all these things this time, do you intend to keep me in the world?"
Situ Hongyuan laughed and said: "I expect that Zunjia is a generation of heroes, naturally there is a certain balance between what I said, although I am not talented, if I can be in charge of Yundu, I will naturally be diligent in government affairs, recruit talents, Yundu will break the situation of survival in one fell swoop, and it is not difficult for him to attack Luosheng and Rizhao in the future." If you are willing to be loyal to me today, the position of deacon of Jiali Temple must be none other than Brother Xiao. ”
"The general's words are serious, how can I be valued by the general, the deacon is extremely undeficient and warned me not to be obsessed, although I am not talented, but I know the four words of loyalty, filial piety and faith, today the clouds are difficult, the deacon is not there, how can I violate his admonition as an acting deacon, I have sworn in front of the Golden Sacred Palace, my life is only to maintain the royal power of Yundu and the honor of Jiali Temple, today seems to be the moment when the knife is out of the sheath, the arrow is off the string, the general does not say much, Xiao Luo's determination to defend Yundu will not waver. ”
Situ Hongyuan bowed his head slightly and said: "Brother Xiao really understands the righteousness, no wonder Yelu Jinyun also respects you, but he has not turned back from the bow, and the move has not yet succeeded, either my friend or my enemy, I will not leave a living mouth." ”
"Since the general killed Qiu Short, he naturally won't let it go, but you and I are both 'no vain' realm, and the victory or defeat is often between one move, presumably the general should also know that if I fight hard, even if I am killed, the general may not be able to retreat with his whole body, it is better for us not to dodge, turn our backs to the other party and walk out of the position of five steps, and then turn around and make a move, only according to the success or failure. If I win the general by luck, the general will let me return to Yundu, and the survival of me and Yundu will depend on the destiny of heaven. If the general defeats me, then my life is tied to the general, whether to kill or scrape and listen to the respect, I don't know what the general wills?"
"Okay, the Golden Sacred Palace patrol is really extraordinary, I have seen Brother Xiao's spirit, and the next thing is to learn Brother Xiao's martial arts, when I first entered the Jiali Temple to cultivate the edge, I heard that the 'Breaking the Sky Sword Method' is comparable to Wujin Linyao, and people who are born with pure yang can only practice at noon, I asked myself if I don't have a pure yang physique, so I naturally have no chance to cultivate, but I have been dissatisfied in my heart, since water can produce gold, why should I succumb to the 'water dew mantra' Under the method of breaking the empty sword, I have the honor to ask for advice today, it is to break this fallacy, since Brother Xiao is unwilling to fight to the death with me, then according to Brother Xiao's meaning, you and I will take five steps with our backs, one move on success or failure, win or lose at your own risk, and each has a destiny. ”
"Since General Situ agrees, then let's go downstairs to the open area to compete, although Qiu Xiaoxing and I are not good friends, but I can't look at his violent corpse wilderness, it is better to let me bury him simply, so as not to be a lonely ghost." ”
Situ Hongyuan bowed his head and said: "Brother Xiao is very affectionate and righteous, he is really a good man, my interest in you has deepened again, I promise you, if I really lose, I will never break my word!"
