Chapter 610: Encirclement
Tie Linglong didn't say a word about the purpose of his appearance in the Dragon Court, and Chu Nanping didn't ask.
"Let's go find the Dragon King. Chu Nanping sent out an invitation.
"Why? He said in his own mouth that I would not be allowed to appear in his presence again. Tie Linglong's tone was still fierce, but the whole person had undergone a wonderful change, a layer of hard shell shrouded in her body was disintegrating, and every time she spit out a word, she was one step closer to the little girl she was familiar with in Chu Nanping.
"The dragon king is angry, he has forgiven you a long time ago. As usual, Chu Nanping took on the role of persuasion that he was not good at.
"Forgive? I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I ask him to forgive? He should apologize to me. Tie Linglong said that when she said that she was angry, she was more and more unable to maintain an indifferent demeanor, her eyes were shining, and she endured it so that she didn't cry.
Chu Nanping had nothing to say, he couldn't even figure out his own feelings, let alone understand other people's complicated thoughts.
After being silent for a while, Tie Linglong said by herself: "It's okay to go to the Dragon King, I'll follow you, but I won't show up and I won't help." ”
"Good. Chu Nanping smiled.
The one-eyed man looked at the pair of young men and women, and felt indescribable surprise, "You are a disciple of the Proud Building, a waiter of the Peng Immortals." ”
"It used to be, but it wasn't. ”
The two-eyed man shook his head, "You have practiced ruthless swordsmanship alone, how can you fall in love with a woman?
Chu Nanping was slightly stunned, there was indeed a "tool" in his heart, he had been Xu Xiaoyi since he was eleven years old, and it wasn't until the one-eyed man broke through that he suddenly realized that his best "friend" had become the girl in front of him.
In fact, his friendship with Xu Xiaoyi has long ended naturally, the two are going farther and farther on the road in different directions, and they can only see a hazy figure between each other, they cherish their former relationship, but no one has the intention of barely maintaining it.
Chu Nanping had been thinking about breaking through the fourth level, and it was also under the questioning of the one-eyed man that he found that he had lost interest in it, "No. He hesitated for a moment before answering, "I didn't fall in love with her, she's not a tool, the ruthless swordsmanship ends here, I won't practice anymore." ”
The one-eyed man opened his mouth wide in surprise, as if the defeated slave heard that someone had given up a huge amount of property for no reason, "You will be a disciple of the proud building after all." ”
"No, it won't. ”
Tie Linglong listened inexplicably and a little shyly on the side, "Let me kill him." ”
"There's no need. ”
"Why not? They are now the mages hired by the old Khan King, leaving him alive to complain?"
Chu Nanping asked, "Will you sue?"
"Huh. Tie Linglong laughed out loud, and just wanted to point out that this question could not be answered truthfully, but the one-eyed man lying on the ground said without hesitation, "Yes." ”
Chu Nanping lowered his head and thought about it, and said to Tie Linglong: "You still can't kill people." ”
"Did you just let him go?"
Chu Nanping turned around, drew his sword, and took out his sword, and instantly completed the killing action, "From now on, I will kill for you." ”
Tie Linglong felt that she was being scorned, and raised her head proudly, "Do you think I have poor martial arts and am not worthy of killing?"
"Nope. Chu Nanping's voice was unexpectedly soft, "Because you are kind-hearted, you will always regret it after killing." ”
The murderous aura in Tie Linglong's eyes became thick again, "I just killed three monsters, and I don't regret it at all." ”
"This is not the real you. ”
Tie Linglong frowned, the young man in front of him was good anywhere, but he was talking and was covered with clouds, mountains and fogs, and he hadn't gotten rid of the influence of the proud building, his eyes rolled and he asked, "There are a lot of people I want to kill." ”
"I'll kill you all. ”
"I'm going to kill the Dragon King?"
"Same. ”
Chu Nanping replied so simply, Tie Linglong was startled, stared at him for a while, pouted and said, "You won't." ”
"Neither will you. ”
Tie Linglong looked a little irritable, "It's so tiring to talk to you, I almost forgot what I said, let's go, it's a little later, maybe the Dragon King has been killed by someone else." ”
The two of them just in time for the end of the martial arts people breaking into the palace, they brought two horses from the side of the road and galloped north, only to bump into Shangguan Fei and Old Man Mu, who were practicing killing.
Old Man Mu didn't have a good impression of all the disciples of Xiaoyue Hall, and looked the green-eyed little girl up and down, "It's not right, it's not right at all." ”
"What's wrong?" Tie Linglong's left hand was tucked into his sleeve, and he would pull out a dagger at any moment.
"Han Wuxian has always only let disciples who have successfully trained go out, and all those below the half-finished product will be killed, you are a half-finished product, how can you jump out?"
Tie Linglong laughed angrily, "You're Old Man Mu, right?"
"However, what's the matter, Han Wuxian mentioned me? Xiaoyue Hall is ruthless, your hall master is a ruthless leader, but to me, it's not as easy to be ruthless. "Old man Mu is quite complacent.
Tie Linglong turned to Chu Nanping, "This is the person I want to kill, let's do it." ”
Old man Mu watched the long sword stab at his chest, he was not particularly familiar with Chu Nanping, but he had the impression that this handsome young man was not such a violent person, how could he say that he would do it?
His mind turned extremely fast, and he instantly thought of ten ways to dodge this sword, four of which could also launch a fierce counterattack, but with his current skills, he didn't have time to use one of them, so he could only use the eleventh stunt and knelt down, "Girl, open grace!"
Chu Nanping's long sword was less than an inch away from his forehead, and it didn't move.
"What's the matter?"
"Hehe, I was confused for a while, I said the wrong thing, more than ten years ago, Xiaoyue Hall forced the disciples crazy, but now it's different, Han Tang Master was far-sighted and decided to build a foundation for martial arts in addition to secret arts, and the girl looked at it that she learned martial arts well, so she was qualified to come out and walk. ”
"No matter how good my martial arts are, I don't need to be kind to you. ”
"But the master of the hall of Han definitely wants me to live, hehe, I don't know if she has mentioned it, Xiaoyue Hall's martial arts, I have made a little effort, and there is no merit and hard work. By the way, you ask the lotus girl, the lotus girl has always wanted to capture me alive and sacrifice it to your hall master. ”
Tie Linglong didn't seem to believe it, Shangguan Fei had just recovered from the panic, and he thought that Old Man Mu couldn't die now, so he had the courage to interject: "I can prove this, the lotus girl has had a chance to kill several times...... Old man Mu didn't do anything in the end. ”
Tie Linglong is not ignorant of the things around the Dragon King, and most of the old man who killed Mu was a test of Chu Nanping, "Spare your life, and return to Xiaoyue Hall with me in the future." ”
"That's for sure. Old man Mu stood up calmly, he had no concept of seniors and juniors, nor did he feel that kneeling and begging for mercy was a shameful act, "I also miss your hall master, is she okay? Is she a little younger and more beautiful than before? Over the years, I have a lot of experience in martial arts, and I am preparing to have a good exchange with her." ”
Shangguan Fei admired Old Man Mu more and more in his heart, thinking that he had not followed the wrong person, and sooner or later he would have to learn all his killing skills and shameless kung fu.
Chu Nanping put away his long sword, as if nothing had happened, and asked, "You also went to the palace to help the Dragon King, right?"
"Yes. Old Man Mu and Shangguan replied in unison, looking at each other, satisfied with each other, Shangguan Fei did not forget to explain, "Looking at it from a distance, I knew that the two of them were masters, thinking that you were assassins sent by the prince, but they were misunderstood." ”
Chu Nanping and Tie Linglong didn't have so many ideas, urging the old and the young to get on the horse and set off.
The two people who originally wanted to hide behind and practice killing followed into the northern forbidden area, because they didn't dare to ask questions, they didn't know that the pair of teenagers were going to save the dragon king just by hearing a threat, and they didn't even have a clear plan.
It wasn't until he caught up with the large number of martial arts people in front of him that Shangguan Fei asked, "Xiao Chu, do you know where the Dragon King is?"
"I don't know. "Chu Nanping never lies.
"It's definitely not in a crowded place, we two serve as guards for the Dragon King...... Anyway, we know his habits and will find him soon. ”
The dragon king usually chooses to lurk outside the crowd, but the four of them went around in a big circle, and found no clues, but pulled out a dozen timid followers, and as soon as they found someone approaching, they immediately jumped into the grass like rabbits.
"What's the matter? Could it be that one-eyed man is lying?" Tie Linglong said that she didn't want to see the Dragon King, but she didn't find anyone, but she was more impatient than anyone else.
She was not the only one who made similar complaints, the march of nearly a thousand martial arts people became slower and slower, and many of them simply led their horses on foot.
The northern exclusion zone was unguarded, which was a good sign, but the closer they got to the palace, the more apprehensive they became, and the desperate need to see the leader of the army.
"What about the Dragon King, why hasn't he appeared yet?" Most of the people who said this were from the Western Regions.
"What about the nine major factions, aren't there many masters?"
"Hey, isn't that who from the Qingcheng faction?"
"Kongtong faction!"
"Tarzan faction!"
Not long after, the martial arts people in the Central Plains were divided into more than a dozen groups, each following a different leader.
There are not many swordsmen from the Western Regions, about 300 people, some of them have joined the small gang in the Central Plains, and the other part is still persistently looking for the Dragon King or the Jinpeng Killer.
Shangguan Fei and the other four gave up wandering around the periphery, wanting to find out the news in the crowd, and it didn't take long to find that a large number of swordsmen had gathered around them.
"Shangguan Fei ......"
"The Dragon King's subordinates, the Warrior Conference won two days in a row......"
"The ...... of the Son of the Dubu King"
"One punch can kill a group of people......"
Before Shangguan Fei reacted, he had become the leader of the swordsmen in the Western Regions, and no one asked for his opinion, in short, there were more than a hundred people following him wherever he went.
With the help of pieces of firelight, Old Man Mu saw an acquaintance in the gang in the Central Plains, "Red Bat, why are you here too?"
"Come to the Dragon King. ”
Red Bat came with ten Dragon King guards and carried the Yuqing Sect Daoist together, but he didn't think that Daoist Theory became the protagonist, just like Shangguan Fei, he just showed up and gained a group of followers.
Old man Mu didn't like this kind of scene, and whispered to Shangguan Fei: "It's a big trouble, and I can't run away if I want to." ”
"yes, these people always follow us, what should we do?"
"No, they follow you, it's not us, so ......"
"You can't go. Shangguan Fei objected without waiting for Old Man Mu to speak.
Old man Mu just wanted to force Shangguan Fei to accept the facts, when there was a commotion in front, "Do it!" "No cavalry! No cavalry!"
The crowd suddenly became excited, surging forward like a tide, Shangguan Fei couldn't get out, and lost the figure of the old man Mu in a blink of an eye.
Old Man Mu didn't have much skill left, but it was easy to dodge a group of chaotic swordsmen.
Therefore, he was the first to break away from the main crowd and let out a long breath, and then he was the first to spot the hordes of cavalry advancing from the flanks and rear, without torches, and in the darkness of the night, the cavalry troops were like a huge rampaging serpent, quickly encircling the prey.
