The two have been fighting for a long time, Yang Ning's internal strength is profound, endless, and his spirit has not diminished at all, Nie Ying is out of breath, gradually losing his support, and there are already more than a dozen sword marks on his body, which is still the reason why Yang Ning's subordinates are merciful and refuse to let him die quickly, Nie Ying also knows it, but it is human nature to be greedy for life and fear death, but he is not willing to sit back, his mind is turning back and forth, and he wants to find a way to escape.

After more than 100 moves, Yang Ning had already integrated the sword intent of the colorless nunnery master's "Lonely Han Sword Technique", and saw that Nie Ying was already covered in bruises, so he thought about ending him, and the sword momentum changed again, and he slashed towards Nie Ying's neck, but this sword was the trick of "Heavenly Demon Nineteen Swords", Nie Ying was already exhausted, and he had almost no power to fight back, so he had to wait for death.

At the last moment, the figure outside the window flashed, hundreds of carved arrows with a sharp roar that pierced the sky and attacked Nie Ying and Yang Ning, one of them was about to slash the enemy, the other was tired and wanted to die, and the ears and eyes were inevitably disturbed, and on the top floor of the Yellow Crane Tower, they did not expect that someone would secretly attack in the air, seeing that the arrow was about to come, the two looked at each other, and a wisp of cold light flashed, Ning Qing Sword and the dagger tacitly turned an angle, the sword body and the dagger collided in the air, making a pleasant sound, and the two of them retreated at the same time, avoiding the arrows that hit the two, and at the same time heard the deafening sound of the floor from downstairs。

Yang Ning swept to the staircase, grabbed Qingping's slender waist, swept his eyes down, he could already see the cold light of the knife and gun, and he turned his head and rushed to the window without hesitation, Nie Ying had already fallen to the corner of the house, took the opportunity to breathe for a while, felt that the internal force had recovered a little, and also followed Yang Ning to break through. When Yang Ning reached the window, he saw two wooden buildings that were much higher than the Yellow Crane Tower, with pulleys underneath. Above is a platform that can accommodate more than a dozen people, Yang Ning naturally didn't know that this was a well for siege, but when he saw the soldiers with bows and arrows on it, he also knew what was going on. Ning Qingjian shot down the oncoming arrows, holding Qingping and rushing towards the well, although with a person, the body of "A Thousand Miles and a Line" was still shrunk into inches, and when the body reappeared, it had fallen on a well more than ten zhang away from the Yellow Crane Tower, and the sword light swept through, and twenty or thirty soldiers were cut off their throats without even shouting.

Although Qingping, who was held in Yang Ning's arms, turned pale, she found that except for a well side by side, the other wells were on the other three sides of the Yellow Crane Tower. The figure of the shadow killer who rushed out was crumbling in the air, obviously the consumption of Fang Cai's true qi was too much, and it was already unsustainable. My heart moved. He caught a carved arrow from the side, and shook his hand to shoot at Nie. Nie Ying was overjoyed when he saw this, his toes lightly touched the arrow, and he had already jumped to a well next to him with his strength, but he didn't see the cold light flickering, only to see a black shadow circling back and forth, and under the splash of blood, some archers fell one by one, even if they didn't die under the dagger, their lives were hard to save if they fell to the ground. Specks of blood splattered on the snow on the ground, making it look extremely red.

In the blink of an eye, the archers on both wells had been cleared. Yang Ning and Nie Ying both rushed towards the river without hesitation, Yang Ning took the lead, those soldiers were actually opponents, only to feel that the figure flickered, and they had already lost the trace of the enemy. It was Huang Xie, who was wearing armor, who commanded the Jiangxia army to attack the Yellow Crane Tower, and his cold eyes looked at the two sword lights that broke out of the fluttering snow in the snow, flashed with resentment, and said coldly to the cronies behind him: "I didn't expect that Jia Yi's madman would be in the same stream with the Demon Emperor, and I would treat him well on weekdays, so I immediately spread the news and burned his house to ashes for me. Those cronies all promised repeatedly, but they only felt a chill in their necks, and they didn't expect that Jia Shusheng, who everyone could bully on weekdays, turned out to be a terrible master, but fortunately he had not offended him before.

When he arrived at the riverside, Yang Ning saw his own boat at a glance, flew up, put down Qingping, urged her into the cabin, and then cut off the boat cable with a sword, and with force, the light boat swung towards the heart of the river, at this time Nie Ying also ran to the riverside, there was no way forward, there were chasing soldiers behind, he did not hesitate to leap like water, and when he showed his head again, he had already arrived at Yang Ning's boat, climbed the side of the boat with both hands, and climbed towards the boat, Yang Ning's eyes flashed a cold light, but let Nie Ying climb onto the bow of the boat, he held the rudder himself, and the internal force under his feet urged, and a light boat disappeared in the snow and fog on the river in an instant, and the soldiers who chased to the river drew their bows and arrows, but they couldn't catch up, a few sparse carved arrows fell into the river, and there was no sound.

The boat traveled dozens of miles, seeing that there was no pursuer behind, Yang Ning stopped the boat in a deserted place, and sat cross-legged in front of the cabin, silently exercising pranayama, Nie Ying, who had already collapsed on the bow of the boat, also forcibly sat up, regardless of the pain on Zhou's body, he exercised pranayama at the bow of the boat, and those who practice martial arts know that the more times like this, the more persevere, if it is good and evil, it is inevitable that the skill will sail against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat, so the two of them invariably adjust their own pranayama, and neither of them took this opportunity to shoot at each other. Yang Ning's internal strength was profound, and he didn't consume too much, and soon he got up, seeing that Nie Ying was still breathing, a cold light flashed in his eyes, although after fighting side by side, the killing intent in his heart was slightly reduced, but when he thought of this person's audacity, he dared to use Qingping's life and death design, he felt that it was unbearable, his right hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword, and the murderous intent was surging in his heart, if he didn't want to take advantage of the danger of others, he was afraid that he would take Nie Ying's life immediately.

Qingping didn't know how long she sat in the cabin, everything that happened on the Yellow Crane Tower seemed to be in a dream, until this time, she was completely awake, thinking of her sad tears, she couldn't help laughing at herself, she has always boasted of being open-minded, but in the end it was nothing more than that, but a liar said a few words of nonsense, and he made himself feel like a mess, and I don't know if the love lingering for more than ten days made him so weak, thinking of this, her pretty face couldn't help but turn red again, it's just that, if you are going to kill this Nie Ying, it seems that you have a weak heart, since Fang Cai also has the love of sharing suffering, let Zijing let him go。

At this moment, there was the slightest sound of sword qi breaking through the open space in her ears, Qingping was shocked, pushed open the hatch and looked out, only to see Yang Ning's face full of frost, Ning Qing's sword pointed at Nie Ying's throat, but the world-famous assassin was calm and calm, and he did not beg for mercy. didn't resist either, seeing Qingping revealing her figure, he nodded to her, and didn't care that the blade of Ning Qingjian left a bloody mark on his neck. He was soaked in the river. Covered with a layer of fine snowflakes, it looks very embarrassing, but it has a chic and free demeanor.

Seeing Qingping open the hatch, Yang Ning turned around, and when he saw Qingping's pale and haggard expression, he felt a pain in his heart, and the little murderous intent that had been reduced swelled again, and said angrily: "Nie Ying, what else do you have to say?"

Nie Ying smiled slightly and said, "If the emperor wants to kill me." There is no excuse, and it is a matter of course, not to mention that I have offended Emperor Zun and Miss Qingping. If the emperor wants to kill, he will kill. I have no complaints. ”

Qingping's heart moved when she heard this, and blurted out: "Zijing." Is he also a disciple of the Companion?"

Nie Ying smiled and said nothing, but Yang Ning said coldly: "The trick he stabbed me with a strange needle was the mastery of the Heavenly Sect "White Rainbow Through the Sun", and the swordsmanship used later was also the martial arts of the Heavenly Sect, and it was even more blue, I naturally recognized it, in terms of his martial arts attainments, most of them were the junior disciples of the Xiao clan, the Martial Arts Sect and the Heavenly Sect were all of the Holy Gate, and I should have been merciful." But he dared to offend his sister when he committed the following crimes. I will not spare his life. ”

Qingping asked suspiciously, "Mr. Nie, since you are also a disciple of the Holy Gate, why do you have to embarrass Zijing?"

Nie Ying smiled: " Since Nie is the successor of the Martial Arts Sect, if he can't compete with the emperor, wouldn't it be too regrettable, as for offending Miss, it is really a last resort, this sect has always only focused on the result, not the process, and the self-control may not be the opponent of the emperor, so it is natural to do everything possible in advance to attack the will of the emperor and weaken the strength of the emperor, Miss is the only weakness of the emperor, Nie can only start on the miss. However, under such a good opportunity today, Nie still ended miserably, if he challenged the emperor again in the future, Nie would not use Miss no matter what, lest he steal chickens and rice, and waste a rare Jia identity in vain. ”

Yang Ning and Qingping looked at each other, they couldn't help but laugh, Yang Ning shook his head, and seeing that Qingping no longer had the slightest anger, he took back Ning Qingjian, waved his hand, and said: "You go, if there is a next time, even if my sister pleads, I will not spare your life." ”

Nie Ying's face did not change, he got up and said with a smile: "Nie is grateful, if Miss has something annoying, although tell me that Nie will definitely kill him for you, but if Miss and Emperor Zun have an awkward quarrel, don't blame me for being cowardly and not daring to draw my sword from Emperor Zun." ”

Qingping couldn't help but smile slightly when she heard this, and the last bit of mustard in her heart disappeared, and said lightly: "If you talk about my enemy, there is probably only the Mingyue Killer who is as famous as you, if you know who she is in the future, kill her for me, just ask you to kill each other, I am a little reluctant to go." ”

Nie Ying said with a smile: "Peers are enemies, Miss rest assured, if that person did not die in the hands of the Emperor, I will definitely avenge the Miss, but next time I fail to assassinate the Emperor again, Miss will have to intercede for me." ”

Qingping couldn't help but be embarrassed when she heard this, only to feel that this famous shadow killer was not as cold and gloomy as she imagined, but very funny, it really made people doubt that he and the Xiao clan, the head of Wanbaozhai, who was more suitable to inherit the position of the suzerain of the Replenishing Heaven Sect, and after a turn of thought, Qingping remembered a suspicious point, so she asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Mr. Nie, Zijing and I didn't intend to reveal our identities, and we were uncertain along the way, how did you know our whereabouts, and happened to appear at the Yellow Crane Tower Poetry Meeting, and designed to assassinate Zijing?" If it weren't for everyone at the meeting to recognize you, Zijing and I wouldn't have easily fallen for you. ”

Nie Ying smiled slightly, and said calmly: "The emperor and the young lady did not sail to the sea, but chose to go up the river, although they can hide from most people's ears and eyes, but Nie is the sect master of the Mending Heaven Sect, and the family teacher and the master of the Zhai are old and old, since they know that Wanbao Zhai is a place where the disciples of the Holy Gate gather, why don't they put eyeliner in it." Emperor Zun is tolerant and generous, not only forgave Senior Brother Xiao's offense, but also cured his body of illness, Senior Brother Xiao is naturally grateful, but Nie is also empathetic, this time the Tang family issued a reward of 500,000 taels of silver through Wanbao Zhai, and wanted to ask for the emperor's head, but also secretly spread the news, if someone can take off the emperor's head, it is the world's number one killer, if there is a career, Yue Guogong will definitely make an exception, even if it was originally a common man, he can also be established as a marquis, the status of the senior brother is limited, it is inconvenient to try to stop it, so he has to announce this reward to the world, and sent henchmen along the river to find the whereabouts of Emperor Zun and Miss Qingping, hoping to convey the news to the two, although he acted secretly, he couldn't hide it from Nie's eyes. Although I know that the emperor and Miss go all the way west, Nie will not follow those second- and third-rate killers to find and kill along the river, Miss Qingping is a strange woman who is both civil and military, although her life is in danger, but she will not just complain and sigh like an ordinary woman, this Yellow Crane Tower is one of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not like Tengwang Pavilion in general and needs to be detoured. It just so happened that Nie had such a fake identity in Jiangxia, so Nie had been spinning around in the Yellow Crane Building these days, even if it was such a boring poetry club today, he did everything possible to get in, and sure enough, he was able to see the unparalleled demeanor of the young lady's poetry and talent. ”

Qingping couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly when she heard this, she couldn't imagine that this shadow killer was not only witty and interesting, but also meticulous, and he was like a god. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Nie Ying a few more times, and accidentally found that his appearance was a little strange, Qingping was originally familiar with the art of disguise, and at a glance, he found that Nie Ying was not showing his true face at the moment, and his heart moved, so he wanted Nie Ying to show his true face and take a look, I don't know if Nie Ying found out about Qingping's intentions, and without waiting for Qingping to speak, he had already jumped onto the river bank, and when he got to the shore, he seemed to remember something, and turned back and said:" For the 500,000 taels of silver, many famous killers have heard the news, after the news of the miss, or some people will die down, but it is inevitable that there are bold people who refuse to give up, the two of them are careful all the way, since Nie unfortunately missed, if others are lucky, the reputation of the world's number one killer is not handed over, if the sect master of the Heaven Repair Sect is not the first killer in the world, but it will also be humiliating, please also ask Emperor Zun and Miss Qingping to take care. Before the words fell, his figure was already gone, as if he was a ghost in the daytime, coming and going without a trace.

Yang Ning and Qingping glanced at each other, and they both felt ridiculous, and couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly.
