Volume 2 Lan Zhou Chapter 3 The Knife That Can't Be Caught Can't Be Caught
This time, the stage of the restaurant can't control the two immortals.
Perhaps it was fate that the inn would be demolished today. When Zhao Wu'an released a burst of awe-inspiring sword aura, Duan Hunttian immediately retreated more than ten zhang away, smashed through the wall of the inn with his back, and fled immediately.
Zhao Wu'an had the upper hand, without the slightest pause, he lifted the red box around him with his hand, and immediately turned into a flowing cloud and chased after him.
The two of them hurriedly retreated after a hasty move, which made the spectators in the restaurant bitter. Although no one was injured, at the moment when Zhao Wu'an's sword qi erupted, more than a dozen tables around him all collapsed, dishes smashed to the ground, turning into piles of fragments, and the wine and food were also splashed in a mess.
After a brief silence, the voices of people immediately erupted, like a flash flood. Everyone was talking loudly, and there was a lot of noise downstairs, which made the corpse of the gray-clothed swordsman on the stage even more desolate.
Duan Taoli stood firmly by the railing on the second floor, looking at the gap where Zhao Wu'an disappeared in a daze.
Seeing this, Li Huang thought she was frightened, walked over with concern, gently put his hand on her shoulder, and said with relief: "It's going to be fine, don't worry." ”
Duan Taoli glanced back at him suspiciously, puzzled: "The drawings have been stolen, and you still say it's okay?"
Li Huanglai's body stiffened, and his face was very ugly.
At this time, the very young guy from before suddenly ran over, stood next to the two of them, and asked cautiously: "I just listened to it, guest officer...... But lost something?"
Li Huang was stunned, as if he was seeing a savior, and said happily: "What, you have a clue?"
The little guy scratched his head and said, "Earlier today, I saw someone go upstairs without booking a room...... When he came down, he seemed to be holding a long cylinder in his hand. ”
As he spoke, he reached out and gestured, the length of which coincided with the wooden cylinder where the armory blueprints were hidden.
Duan Taoli was stunned for a moment, and then realized.
Lan Zhouzi did not crack the Kong Ming lock in just one hour, but created an identical template by himself, and the Kong Ming lock on it was also a virtual shelf that could be opened with a few casual tinkers. He didn't steal the drawings, but took them with the wooden tubes. For a thief who is proficient in lockpicking, two padlocks will be a no-brainer.
However, the bandit did not seem to be very cautious, and it was inevitable that he would be suspicious of entering and exiting through the main gate so openly. And the way this arouses suspicion is too simple, almost like an elaborate trap waiting for them to jump headlong into it.
Li Huanglai didn't have these complicated thoughts, and as soon as he heard the clues, he immediately said excitedly: "Have you seen his whereabouts clearly!"
The little guy nodded hurriedly: "I have always been doing the work of welcoming guests, and when I saw him acting strangely, I remembered that he should have left the city west and went to Zhongshan." ”
Li Huanglai clenched his fists, unable to contain his excitement, and said excitedly: "This can really be called a sentence of willow and flower! Lan Zhouzi stole the drawings, and he never imagined that I would catch up so quickly! Tao Li, you wait, I will chase the drawings back!"
After that, he flicked his sleeves and wanted to walk to the door of the inn, but was helplessly pulled by Duan Taoli: "Next to Zhongshan is Xuanwu Lake, the land is vast and sparsely populated, where do you go to find it?
Unexpectedly, Li Huang came and said with a smile: "Bandits, in the final analysis, are also alternative businessmen, and what they are trying to do is a good word." As long as it is profitable, there is a chance to turn around. After negotiating properly, it is not impossible for Lan Zhouzi to hand over the drawings. ”
Looking at the smile on Li Huanglai's face, although he didn't know where he got this enigmatic confidence, Duan Taoli still compromised towards this confidence. After all, there is no other way but to search in the mountains now, and we can't watch this hard-won armory blueprint being taken away. If Duan Taoli wants to restore the country, it is obviously a top priority to pull up an army.
"Okay, then I'll go with you. But is there any way you can find Lan Zhouzi?"
Li Huang said: "He can't hide for a lifetime, Zhongshan is a wilderness behind him, he must go up the mountain and come down again, let's go up directly, stop it and then make plans." ”
After speaking, Li Huanglai thought for a while, and pointed to the little guy: "You can come too." ”
The little guy was stunned for a moment, blushed and said, "I ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, this restaurant has become like this, is the business still going on? You have seen Nalan Zhouzi, and you met him on the way, and you have to identify him. ”
After speaking, Li Huang didn't care about the thirty-seven twenty-one, dragged the little servant downstairs, went to the shopkeeper to explain a few words, gave half a tael of silver, and then took the back collar of the young handyman and pulled him out of the inn.
Duan Taoli followed behind, a little worried and said: "You are lighter, people are not without legs and feet." ”
Li Huanglai's face changed, but he still let go of his hand. The little guy who escaped rubbed his sore neck, and said with a shy smile to Duan Taoli: "Thank you, sister." ”
Duan Taoli blinked, tilted his head to the side, and did not answer.
Walking out for a while, looking back at the restaurant in the fine snow, Duan Taoli's heart was extremely complicated. Why did Zhao Wu'an also come to Jiangning? Could it be that he really wanted to go to Miaojiang and fight to the death with Dailou Duyun?
After a farewell in Jiuda Temple, and now that they are reunited, Duan Taoli almost doesn't know him anymore. What Zhao Wu'an is thinking now, she can't figure it out at all.
——————————————
The surface of Xuanwu Lake is vast and wave-free, clear as a mirror. Two figures, one brown and one white, passed by dragonflies from the lake one after another.
The long knife in Duan Hunttian's hand slashed out the staggered knife qi head-on, just like the Chu River and Han Realm, with a clear distinction, and the strength of the knife was like a wall, cutting off several zhang of clear waves, shocking the monstrous waves.
Zhao Wu'an's white robe agitated, and the streamers on his side surrounded. On a closer look, those streamers were all streams of water that were startled by Duan Hunttian's sword qi, condensed into a sword around him, and flew freely.
From the civil war in the city to the Xuanwu Lake, Zhao Wu'an did not make a sword from beginning to end, relying on Luo Shen's sword qi to surround his side, Duan Hunttian was unable to bargain at all.
In an instant, after fighting one hundred and twenty moves, Duan Hunttian gradually changed from the initial defeat to waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, and Zhao Wu'an's pursuit momentum gradually slowed down, no longer blindly rushing forward, but stepping on the lake from time to time, maintaining a considerable distance.
Every time Duan Hunttian tried to close the distance, Zhao Wu'an immediately retreated, the soles of his feet thundered into the water, and with every step, he stirred up a water lotus with a radius of one foot on the water, and his body quickly retreated, and at the same time, he came out with a royal qi, turning all the water lotus he stepped on into a flying sword, and rushed towards Duan Hunttian.
The Water Flow Flying Sword seemed to be fragile, but it all carried a cold sword intent, and it was even more sharp on this day of fine snow. If you want to resist these flying swords, you will probably have more than a dozen holes on your body. Duan Hunttian had no choice but to gain power and stopped, the long knife in his hand rolled backwards, and all the flying swords were swept into his own strength, and then torn into pieces.
After destroying Zhao Wu'an's harassment, Duan Hunt Tian immediately slashed out again, cutting through ten feet of flying snow, and the cold knife rushed straight in front of Zhao Wu'an.
Zhao Wu'an still stood still. Luo Shen's sword box was beside him, and the three-inch body protection true qi on his side was almost impossible to splash in, and Duan Hunttian's knife ten feet away, although it was menacing, but in front of Zhao Wu'an, it was just a golden jade. It can be easily dissolved by blocking it with a little body protection true qi.
After several times, Duan Hunttian couldn't hurt Zhao Wu'an in the slightest.
Zhao Wu'an's kite-like rogue tactics finally exhausted Duan Hunttian's patience, and he said with a calm face: "If you don't come out with a sword again, don't blame Duan for being ruthless." ”
Zhao Wuan smiled: "When I killed Yin Fengxiao, I didn't see how merciful you were. ”
Duan Hunttian said coldly: "That's him looking for death!"
"In addition to the identity of the Lingshan Sect's personal disciple, Yin Fengxiao also has an identity in the rivers and lakes, that is, the assassin of Luo Yige. Zhao Wu'an said lightly, "This time I return to Jiangnan Province, Luo Yige must be a fierce pursuit." Although you helped me out of the siege, you offended Luo Yige and the Lingshan faction in one fell swoop. The following days must have been very difficult. ”
Duan Hunttian snorted coldly: "Who told him to show up and do it when I was drinking with you? You have a beautiful woman on you, and you are Hu Buxi's friend." Disturbing my Duan Hunttian and Hu Buxi's friends drinking, that is looking for death!"
"I can't imagine that Hu Buxi is so important to you. ”
"Duan's wish in his life is to be able to fight with the leader of the sword path in the world! When he was born, he failed to witness the grand scene of Jiang entering the sea sweeping the male sword hundred associations, since there is another sword dao product on the rivers and lakes, then Duan Mou is bound to take this person as the enemy of the world, and if he doesn't fight with him, how happy!"
"So, you can't even look down on me?" Zhao Wu'an asked.
Duan Zhantian said coldly: "If you use your sword, I can still fight with you." If he is still obsessed, once the knife in Duan's hand is chopped out, there will be no return. ”
"You and I have two hundred and sixteen moves, only eleven fewer than Yin Fengxiao, and I haven't seen you touch me. Zhao Wu'an said lightly.
"I just didn't use that knife that never went back. Duan Jiatian clenched the long knife in his hand and raised it towards Zhao Wu'an.
The fine snow fluttered and fell on his blade, breaking into two in an instant.
The corners of Zhao Wu'an's mouth hooked up a smile, and he said unshockedly: "Then we might as well try it separately." ”
Duan Zhantian frowned: "You can't catch my knife." ”
"How do you know if you don't try?" Zhao Wu'an reached out and pressed the lanyard of the sword box on his shoulder.
Duan Hunttian's expression was fierce, he quickly raised his sword, and his pointed boots stepped on the surface of the lake steadily, and he was shocked by a monstrous wave in front of him in an instant.
The waves of water are like pillars of heaven, rising directly from the two of them one after another, and soaring into the sky. Duan Hunttian's body was shaped like a crane, and he swayed up along the sky-high current, and stood at the top of the water column in an instant.
The blade of his sword was surrounded by light blue energy, densely covered like vine hemp, as if he could spit out a spider web at any time.
Duan Hunttian stepped on the water column and rushed forward, while Zhao Wu'an quickly retreated.
But this time, it was Duan Hunting Tian's speed that was faster. Every time he stepped on a column of water, it suddenly collapsed and turned into a raging wave behind him. It was not so much a rush, but rather a tsunami, Duan Hunttian was swept up by the tsunami and rushed straight towards Zhao Wu'an.
There was still a distance of three water columns between the two, and the wild waves behind Duan Hunttian were already two zhang high, like a mirage, and the lookers were shocked. And the long knife in his hand was bitten by the light blue qi, and the tiger's mouth burst out with a terrifying luster, as if this knife would break away from Duan Hunttian's restraint at any time and gallop out.
But Duan Jiatian still held the hilt of the knife tightly, leaped out, and stepped on a column of water.
Flying beads splashed jade, and Duan Hunttian's clothes were soaked. Zhao Wu'an stopped retreating, his white robe suddenly agitated, and his ink hair flew up.
Duan Hunttian stepped on the last column of water in front of his horizontal sword, and his eyes were full of lightning.
With a "poof", Zhao Wuan reached out to his waist and pulled out the beauty chop.
There was only this last column of water between him and Duan Hunttian, and the moment it shattered, it was-for-tat.
However, this water column did not collapse like the previous kind, but suddenly stopped with Duan Hunting's stampede. The water suspended in the air seemed to be frozen, holding Duan Hunting Heaven in a strange posture. The tide behind him is already the same as the river and the sea.
To put it mildly, Duan Hunttian raised his sword.
The water column exploded beneath his feet. Under the power of the Emperor, the water column exploded into thousands of fragments, each of which was angular and sharp as a sword.
Duan Hunttian shouted loudly, and the long knife slashed down, and countless streams of water in front of and behind him condensed into a giant blade, coming towards Zhao Wu'an.
This gas becomes a knife, and it can cut the mountains and seas with one slash.
Duan Hunttian knew that this sword must have been out of Zhao Wu'an's expectations, and at least he could force him to unsheath his sword.
However, Zhao Wuan also did something he didn't expect.
Zhao Wu'an threw out the beauty slash in the air, like a splash, and threw it into the air, facing the giant blade.
Before the two touched, Zhao Wuan said softly: "You lost." ”
The hidden sword qi on the beauty slash suddenly erupted, in a straight line, and stabbed straight into the giant blade.
Duan Hunttian was startled, and still wanted to increase his strength, but as soon as this knife came out, the qi in his body was extremely disordered for a while, and it was even difficult to maintain the balance of his body, so he could only watch his most proud knife being easily broken by Zhao Wu'an.
Zhao Wu'an gave birth to lotus on the soles of his feet, stood leisurely on Xuanwu Lake, and said lightly: "To be honest, your knife, I have already passed on the West Lake." ”
