The remnant sun was like blood, and the road leading to the canyon ahead was littered with fallen corpses, broken knives and guns, and wandering horses, all proving that a fierce cavalry chase had just taken place here. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The cliffs on both sides of the canyon are steep, the inner middle is wide, the two ends are narrow, and the whole is fusiformal.

At this moment, the sound of hurried hooves echoed repeatedly in the valley, and a ride of dust rushed straight to the exit of the canyon, and suddenly the figure outside the valley mouth in front of him was longing, and the thunderbolt exploded.

In the next moment, like a rain and cold star, it is coming!

"Suffered...... The knight was shocked, but his movements were not slow, and his left hand took off the round steel shield behind the saddle like lightning, and protected it on his chest, and the poignant sharp saber of the light arc of his right hand suddenly turned into a thousand thousands, and the cold light filled the air, like a whirlwind sweeping horizontally, firmly covering himself and the horse's head.

"Dingding......

Sparks and crunches splashed densely, and the ground in front of the horse's head was instantly covered with a layer of feathered arrows.

It seemed that it was only intended to warn and block, and after a volley, Taniguchi's nearly 200 crossbowmen did not shoot again, but only blocked Taniguchi, opened their bows and arrows, and waited for the battle, showing extraordinary training.

Seeing this, the knight's already gloomy and vicious face was even more gloomy and about to drip water, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon, and secretly exclaimed: The valley mouth is not passable, and it is not difficult to escape over the side mountain wall with my light skills, but the beloved horse under the crotch will not fly...... Without mounts, how can you escape the pursuit of the elite cavalry?

He forcibly suppressed his arm that was numb and trembling from being shocked by dozens of powerful arrows, and slowly rode his horse around without showing the slightest cowardice on the surface, and his murderous eyes fell on the more than ten horsemen who were in hot pursuit.

Approaching within ten zhang, more than ten horsemen spread out in a fan-shape, faintly sealing his possible escape route, only the three horses in the middle continued to approach until three zhang away.

The leader is about thirty years old, burly, gray robe with a sword, domineering, and next to him is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, handsome boy in brocade clothes, with a looming nobility, and the other is ordinary, but also imposing, slightly behind the brocade boy by half a body, seems to be a personal attendant and the like and so on.

The knight at the end of his rope shouted violently, "Yue Shan, Li Yuan...... Are you really trying to force me to die?"

The brocade-clothed boy named Li Yuan glanced at Yue Shan beside him with a little admiration, laughed, and responded: "With the 'Tyrant Knife' Yue Shan here, the fish will die, but the net will not break!"

Yue Shan sneered, "Ma Jun, you are really worthy of the bandit name of 'Little Whirlwind'...... It turns out that it's not the [Whirlwind Knife Method] that you call the male horse thief group, but the great ** method of escaping!

If it weren't for us wanting to cut off your wings one by one, Ma Jun, do you think you would be able to live to this day?"

Ma Jun sneered: "Although your 'Badao' Yue Shan is famous, Ma someone's whirlwind knife is not a vegetarian...... There's a kind of you don't hide in the Li family's trilogy, come over and fight grandpa alone for 300 rounds!"

Yue Shan looked up to the sky and smiled, the sound shook the valley, except for Li Yuan's personal guards and Ma Jun's internal skills, who only frowned slightly, the rest of the people, including Li Yuan, all had severe pain in their ears and dizziness.

Li Yuan was busy covering his ears, and he was both shocked and admired: Brother Yue's skills seem to have improved again?

The laughter stopped, and Yue Shan said angrily: "Three hundred rounds of heads-up?...... This month, Yue Mou has been waiting for you to fight alone, I'm afraid that Ma Jun will not be able to hold Yue's three or five knives, it is boring, what are the three hundred rounds...... Hmph, be ashamed!" he said, waving his hand.

Li Yuan and his guards drove their horses back in amusement, leaving an empty space for the two to fight.

Previously, the Li family and the horse thieves chased and fought in the northern Xinjiang for more than a month, during which Ma Jun also met with Yue Shan a few times, and roughly knew Yue Shan's sword skills, and secretly thought that the victory or defeat between him and Yue Shan was only four or six at most, and Yue Shan was crazy at the moment, in order to hit his confidence with words.

But he Ma Jun was able to climb from a small pony bandit to the position of the leader of the horse bandit in Northern Xinjiang, I don't know how many open guns and hidden arrows he has experienced, he has not wasted his fame, and he is not angry when he hears the words, but laughs, "Yue Shan, don't think that all the friends in the rivers and lakes don't know your careful thoughts - since you were defeated by a little Buddhist monk a few years ago, you have been constantly challenging Chinese and foreign people who are good at using knives, don't you just want to wash away the shadow of your defeat with one victory after another?"

Seeing that you still don't dare to look for the little monk to get back, I'm afraid you haven't forgotten the fear and despair when you faced the little monk's palm, right??"

However, what made Ma Jun's heart sigh was that Yue Shan was not as angry as he imagined, but arrogant, "Yue was just a frog at the bottom of a well, and he was unjustly defeated by that monk...... However, today's Yue Mountain is no longer the Yue Mountain of the past, if it weren't for the entrustment of others to behead you, the evil horse bandit leader, under the knife, Yue Mou should have gone to Jiangnan last month, and he would have been ashamed!"

"Oh, I hope this is the truth, not that you are afraid of that little monk in your heart, and unconsciously find an excuse to escape...... Haha!"

Ma Jun sneered on his lips, but his heart was involuntarily clouded with a layer of haze - although there are many masters in the world, there are very few who can break the psychological shadow and go to the next level after a defeat, and all of them are the people who eventually become a generation of grandmasters.

Yue Shan's eyes were shining, he reached out and held the handle of the knife behind his shoulder, and his body slowly rose with a domineering and cold momentum, surging towards Ma Junhao, and sneered: "So...... In order for Yue to be able to go to Jiangnan a moment earlier, Ma Jun, you should talk less nonsense and go out of the knife!!"

"Huh...... I'm afraid you're going to bring the shame of defeat to the grave!" Ma Jun was still making the final temptation, but he also knew that this life-and-death confrontation was inevitable and could not be delayed.

The saber in his right hand was slowly raised, and the blade was pointed directly at Yue Shan, and the blade was surrounded by a violent whirlpool of knife qi, resisting the oppression of Yue Shan's cold knife momentum.

The energy was in the air, the horses under the crotch let out a restless neigh, raised their hooves and retreated, Li Yuan felt that the field became the core of the collision between ice and snow and the whirlwind, and he was excited for a while: it was completely different from the previous cavalry fighting to chop melons and vegetables, this was an evenly matched master duel, and it was bound to be exciting!

Although Yue Shan has reached the transcendent realm of using qi to resist the momentum, and the innate sword qi is not out of the sheath, Ma Jun has also proved the true material of his horse thief leader in northern Xinjiang.

Before the two sides officially made a move, Li Yuan was already enthusiastic, and he couldn't replace his eldest brother Yue Shan to face such a powerful master, but he knew that his own three-legged cat kung fu was still 108,000 miles away from the level of the two people in the field, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

"Drink!"

Ma Jun, whose momentum had fallen slightly, decisively took the lead in attacking, with a long roar, he jumped off the horse's back, left shield and right knife, and spun towards Yue Mountain like a tornado.

Yue Shan's eyes froze, and when he really did he do it, he knew that the other party was even more clever than he imagined, and he could only do his best to abandon distracting thoughts, and his mental strength was not missing to feel the wonderful blow of Ma Jun's attack.

Every turn of the body brings a whistling sound full of rhythm and strength, the left shield and the right knife, and weaves a sharp laser, both offensive and defensive. The strange energy, centered on Ma Jun's flipped figure, was like a violent whirlwind blowing in the desert, and with Ma Jun's approach, it attacked Yue Mountain with a thunderous momentum.

Everyone outside the court, regardless of their martial arts, all felt that Ma Jun had turned into a terrifying storm core, invincible and sweeping all the power.

The most powerful thing is that Ma Jun's speed of each rotation has subtle differences, which makes it difficult to know the precise time of his attack in advance.

The [Whirlwind Knife Technique], which is on the list of miraculous skills, is indeed as unpredictable as a whirlwind in the desert, making the opponent unpredictable.

And Yue Shan, who was facing Ma Jun's attack, had a terrifying feeling of being born involuntarily in a trance, and the canyon seemed to be transformed into a wind scroll connecting the heavens and the earth by the other party.

With such exercises, if you change ordinary masters, you will indeed have a sense of discouragement and loss when you look at the whirlwind and be defeated!

The deadly crisis was imminent, Yue Shan guarded the spiritual platform, not confused by the momentum of the other party's sword moves, and his spirit became more and more ethereal and clear...... The moment seemed like eternity, and before he knew it, the last shadow in his heart quietly disappeared.

"Boom!"

The knife flashed, and the entire section of the canyon was full of knife qi in the air, and the blade was reflected in the sunlight, and it was like a meteor to hit Ma Jun head-on, which was extremely fierce and fierce.

One is streamlined, the other is complex, it seems to be completely different, but in fact, the same subtle knife moves are impressively intertwined.

"Ding!"

Yue Shan's overlord sword quickly passed through Ma Jun's whirlwind knife net with a slight difference, and struck Ma Jun's blade before it reached its peak. Then Yue Shan's upper body rotated slightly, turned his palm into a knife, and slashed at the edge of Ma Jun's round shield.

"Peng!"

The strength was muffled, and the two of them shook violently at the same time.

In the next moment, Ma Jun shouted violently, and his body flew back to the back of his beloved horse like a spinning top, on the contrary, Yue Shan has been riding on the horse, and he can't turn around and retreat like Ma Jun, otherwise he will inevitably fall off the horse stock and his power will be greatly defeated.

Although he was relieved for a moment, he had lost the best opportunity to take advantage of the momentum to pursue, but Yue Shan still slapped the horse's back, and rose into the sky brazenly, holding a knife in both hands and slashing at Ma Jun condescendingly.

"So majestic!So domineering!!"

Outside the court, Li Yuan's eyes flashed and he applauded.

Although he vaguely understood that his gentle personality was not suitable for this kind of domineering martial arts, his youthful temperament made him can't help but admire this kind of attack full of manly masticism.

............

After a moment, Yue Shan, who had more carved blood marks on his shoulder, put his knife into the sheath, and looked at Ma Jun who fell in a pool of blood under his feet, and his tiger eyes rarely flashed a trace of melancholy.

In fact, Ma Jun is not wrong, he is indeed using one battle after another to stimulate his spiritual potential, so as to gradually erase the psychological shadow of the defeat a few years ago, and restore the confidence and momentum of victory with one victory after another;

Ma Jun didn't guess wrong, before this duel, he still had the last trace of psychological shadow entangled like a stubborn disease, and he wanted to use the empty state of his own spirit and spirit to gather to the peak moment in this decisive battle to completely eliminate it.

He succeeded and won, but it wasn't as easy as he imagined it would be after being released from prison.

Vaguely, he understood that in the past few years, the psychological shadow is not only a shackle that makes him painful, but also a driving force for him to continuously improve himself and strive bravely!

Suddenly, a hearty voice full of energy came, "Congratulations to Brother Yue for another victory, and his martial arts and sword skills have made great progress!"

Yue Shan turned around and saw that the person who came was not the Li family who was chasing after Ma Jun and his gang of bandits with him, but Li Hui, who was supposed to be in charge of family affairs in Chang'an, that is, Li Yuan's fifth uncle, a middle-aged man with a weathered face and a resolute expression.

Li Yuan, who was not far away, was obviously so happy that he almost jumped for joy because of the victory in the decisive battle, but he did not run over to congratulate him, but reluctantly led the cavalry to retreat away.

It must be known that Li Yuan inherited the title of Duke of Tang from his grandfather Li Hu and father Li Yu at the age of seven, but the Li family has the highest status, far from being comparable to Li Hui.

The spirit boiling due to the decisive battle had not yet cooled, Yue Shan's mind was surprisingly good at the moment, and in a blink of an eye, he understood that Li Hui should have a confidential matter to discuss with him, and this matter was not yet visible, so he deliberately supported the young Li Yuan and did not let him be involved.

With doubts, Yue Shan waited for Li Hui to speak, but he didn't know that Li Hui's first sentence surprised him, "I don't know if Brother Yue dares to do the Yecheng story again?"

"Brother Li, do you know what you're talking about?" Yue Shan's tiger eyes burst into sharp light, piercing into Li Hui's eyes like a knife. The so-called "Yecheng Story" is a metaphor for his participation in the assassination of the Northern Qi Emperor Gao Yang on the streets of Yecheng, and it is also a great feat that made him famous for the first time, although it was not from his original intention.

Li Hui couldn't help but shrink his pupils, but he didn't avoid it, but insisted on facing Yue Shan's all-out gaze.

Yue Shan was shocked, knowing that this time it was not Li Hui or the Li family acting alone, the Li family was just one of the many big families who tried to participate in it and get a piece of the pie, and the object that could make many big forces work together to seek it, except for the great Zhou lord who was in full swing, would not be a second person.

In the silence, Yue Shan's heart floated a little bitter, the people in the rivers and lakes thought that he was young and vigorous at the beginning, but he couldn't see the Northern Qi Emperor Gao Yang's cruelty and injustice, so he angrily participated in the assassination, which made many Jianghu knights praise him.

The reason why Li Hui invited him to participate in this secret matter related to the fate of the family this time is probably because he took a fancy to his lawlessness and put life and death out of the way.

However, only Yue Shan himself knows that he still has lingering palpitations about the painful experience of being tossed to death in the assassination of Gao Yang. (To be continued.) )
