Chapter Twenty-Three: The Demon in the Snow
On the fourth day of December, light snow.
At this time, few people have come to Cuiyun Peak Green Water Lake, I don't know when there is a person standing, the weather is getting colder, and the lake is covered with a thin layer of ice.
"Young man, the lake is blocked and there is no way to ferry at the moment, you can go back. ”
There was a hut by the lake, and it was a hunchbacked old man, who rubbed his hands around the fire made of firewood and looked at the figure that even he did not know when he was standing there.
But the man did not move, as if he had not heard, and he had been standing there for almost three hours.
The old man shook his head, when Xie Xiaofeng was alive, he crossed a lot of people, but there was no return, and now that Xie Xiaofeng is dead, this place is becoming more and more deserted, and the Divine Sword Villa has announced his withdrawal from the martial arts, and he didn't expect anyone to come.
"Autumn water is cold. ”
Liu Baiyi sighed, feeling an unusually familiar and cold sword at the bottom of the lake, it was his sword, and it was also Yan Shisan's sword now, before Yan Shisan heard that Xie Xiaofeng was dead and sighed that there was no opponent and sank the sword at the bottom of the lake.
The old man shook his head and set up another piece of firewood, and then looked up and seemed to hear Liu Baiyi's murmuring, and then froze in place, only to see Liu Baiyi's footsteps step by step on the ice, walking evenly and slowly.
Although the surface of the lake is frozen, it is far from being able to bear the weight of a person, but Liu Baiyi walked to the middle of the lake as if he was strolling leisurely, and the five fingers of his right hand were grasped, and the surging internal force suddenly surged into a whirlpool, and in an instant, he saw that the black light was sucked up.
The former autumn water cold has an extra scabbard at this time, decorated with thirteen pearls, the pitch-black scabbard, and the dark green and reddish hilt.
"The world knows his swordsmanship, but they don't know your name, it seems that he has broken his word. ”
An inexplicable meaning flashed in Liu Baiyi's eyes.
Then he walked on, and when he went ashore, there was a path that was neither narrow nor wide, and on both sides were cedar trees that had been some year old and straight as swords, and then there were steps, which led to the steps of Excalibur Villa.
At the end of the stairs, there was a closed door, the vermilion lacquer gate, and there were countless swordsmen who had the goal of coming out of this door alive, but unfortunately there was no one.
Liu Baiyi's footsteps were very ordinary, he didn't use internal force, let alone light work, but even this alarmed the owner inside, he didn't care, or he meant it to be so.
The door of the village was opened, and I don't know if it was because of the recent cold and the door shaft made a strange moan, like the sound of a wooden boat rocking, and like the moan of an old man.
"Snow Devil?"
An old man stood in the doorway, surrounded by many people armed with swords, their faces all solemn.
"You are the owner of the Divine Sword Mountain Villa, Xie Wangsun?"
The man in white was still at the bottom of the steps, his tone was ordinary, his eyes under the mask seemed to have a devouring light, when he spoke, the person had already stepped forward, his body seemed to be stable, and his steps were more stable, but at the exit of the mountain, he was already standing halfway up the mountain, and Sun Zi fell and stood in front of Xie Wangsun.
Everything happened almost instantly, a distance of more than ten zhang, a shocking light work.
"Zheng!"
In an instant, those people in strong suits involuntarily pulled out the swords in their hands, and the sound of filing suddenly stopped, and their faces were nervous as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Stop. ”
Xie Wangsun shouted hurriedly, and then looked at the sword in Liu Baiyi's hand, and his eyes were a little pale.
"This is Yan Thirteen's sword?"
His words were shocked, and his originally slightly majestic face suddenly looked a little strange.
"Huh. ”
Liu Baiyi smiled when he heard this, but he didn't explain.
"Give me Xie Xiaofeng's sword. ”
His voice was flat, like buying and selling things in the bazaar, chatting in an inn tavern, but with an inexplicable feeling, like cold ice, which frightened the listener.
"How can the Xie family's divine sword give it to you. ”
As soon as Liu Baiyi finished speaking, he saw an old man with gray hair coming out of the crowd and scolded angrily.
"What snow demon, others are afraid of you, our Divine Sword Villa is not afraid of you, if you have the ability, can you dare to break my sword formation?"
His tone seemed to have its own edge.
"There are also many innocent people under your Divine Sword Villa in order to dominate the martial arts over the years, so killing you shouldn't be considered indiscriminate killing. ”
Liu Baiyi didn't seem to hear it, but spoke slowly.
"Sword formation, then lay it out. ”
There was some curiosity in his voice, but everyone could only look at his mask without expression.
As soon as these words came out, those swordsmen in strong suits all supported Xie Wangsun and retreated inward, their steps were fast, but they were advancing and retreating in an orderly manner.
"Not bad. ”
Liu Baiyi looked at it wantonly.
"Kill. ”
I saw that at this moment, those people were already holding a sword, forming a strange formation, and they seemed to be unable to stand Liu Baiyi's eyes that looked at them as nothing.
"Poof!"
Dozens of swords stabbed at once, the shiny sword body seemed to illuminate the snow, and half of them were waiting for the opportunity to find a flaw, the two seemed to be connected from end to end, and the attack was like a wave, wave after wave.
"Uninteresting. ”
Liu Baiyi's figure moved as if he was strolling in it, and after a few moves, he was a little interested.
"Ahh
He secretly sank his breath, and in the middle of the sword array, suddenly the internal force of the dantian was lucky, and a violent roar shouted, the sound was like a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring, and the snow that was still floating outside the mountain villa was all stagnant at this moment, and then turned into powder and melted, and the ice on the green water lake was all exploded.
The illusion was as if this Cuiyun Peak was shaking at this moment.
And the dozens of swordsmen in the sword array all had blood in their ears at the same time, their bodies staggered backwards, their heads were dizzy, and the tendons and veins in their bodies had been shattered by Liu Baiyi's face.
glanced at King Xie and Sun Liu, whose face was pale and ugly, slowly walked over and walked to the back hall, where there was a sword, and next to it was a spiritual seat.
The left hand sucked in, and the sword was suddenly in his hand.
He turned around and had just walked a few steps when he saw the old man who had spoken before suddenly stabbing at the crowd with his sword.
"The Xie clan should not be humiliated. ”
There was still blood flowing from the corner of the old man's mouth.
"I'm waiting for Xie Xiaofeng to come and get the sword. ”
Liu Baiyi's voice came out, and the old man's sword also pierced Liu Baiyi's body, but what was the obstacle, it was just an afterimage, and the person had already left.
"Boom!"
Just when Xie Wangsun's face was gloomy and uncertain, he suddenly heard a cracking sound outside, and his figure jumped out quickly, only to see that the plaque with the four characters of the Divine Sword Villa had been shattered by Liu Baiyi.
"Go, spread all over the rivers and lakes, and it was said that the Snow Demon broke into the Divine Sword Villa and killed me, and many Xie women and children died at his hands. ”
Xie Wangsun's face turned pale alternately, and then his eyes showed ruthlessness.
"I don't believe you'll be able to hide for as long as you can. ”
Looking at the white shadow fading down the mountain, he muttered to himself.
