Desert Journey 16
For some reason, Xie Tong heard a hint of bitterness and helplessness in his tone, but he didn't know why he felt this way.
Hong Shan did not retreat, but said, "Throughout the ages, it is difficult for sages such as sages to guarantee that they will not break their promises, let alone a notorious leader of horse thieves, not to mention that you are so powerful that you turn your face and ask us to promise to deal with you?"
Murong Longcheng showed impatience and said, "Xie Tong, is it up to you to decide this army, or is it a woman who has the final say?"
Xie Tong said, "In our Tang Empire, men and women are equal, and when it comes to such issues, it is not personal opinions that prevail, but whose opinions are more able to solve practical problems." So, does Brother Murong understand?"
Murong Longcheng snorted coldly and didn't speak!
Xie Tong smiled and said, "Since it is a negotiation, of course there must be some sincerity, I support Brother Murong's opinion, but you seem to have forgotten someone, you once kidnapped my good brother Huo Zixin, and you should add this bargaining chip too." ”
Murong Longcheng smiled contemptuously and said, "Brother Xie is joking, Huo Zixin was captured by us with our ordinary skills, and we have lost thousands of clansmen for this, and it is a fool's dream to let us release him with your words!"
Xie Tong didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "According to this statement, the women and children on the oasis are all my Xie Tong's captives, what does Brother Murong plan to exchange it for!"
Murong Longcheng saw that he couldn't say anything about Xie Tong, so he had to say, "Then I also want you to add one thing, that is, the sword in your hand, it's not too much to use a sword to exchange for a brother's brother!"
Xie Tong was speechless for a moment, he finally knew why Murong Longcheng did not hesitate to kidnap Huo Zixin with so many brothers, for the sake of the Qing Yu Sword, I saw him say it lightly, the purpose was to hide people's eyes.
Xie Tong smiled and said, "It turns out that Brother Murong is asking for a sword, why don't you say it directly, but he has caused so many incidents and sacrificed the lives of so many people for no reason, is it really so important for a Qingyu sword?"
After Xie Tong finished speaking, he looked straight at Murong Longcheng, trying to find something out of his reaction.
Murong Longcheng sighed, a painful look appeared in his eyes, Xie Tong suddenly doubted his eyes, why did he show such a demeanor at such a moment of negotiation, did he have any unspeakable bitterness?
Murong Longcheng said, "It doesn't matter if it's important or not, it has nothing to do with you, just one sentence, promise or not!"
Xie Tong smiled and said, "Why are the rules always decided by Brother Murong! You and I each have chips in our hands that both sides refuse to give up, and no one can help anyone, since this is the case, why don't you sit down, have a good chat, and see if there is a way to solve it." ”
Murong Longcheng said, "I don't like to beat around the bush, today, you have to stay with this Qingyu Sword, although you have defeated the Turkic Wolf Army, but the losses are also huge, the only remaining remnants of the defeated army will no longer be in the eyes of my people, you better think clearly, or I am taking a step back, as long as you leave the Qingyu Sword, I can let you leave safely!"
Xie Tong said, "This sword that sharpens iron like clay is so valuable, and it is even worth the lives of the Murong brothers, ha, the younger brother has had a strong curiosity since he was a child, the more strange things are, the more he wants to get them, Brother Murong is so anxious about the Qingyu Sword, there must be some big secret in it!" Xie Tong didn't say this to scare him, since the sword entered the rivers and lakes, many people gave up everything for this sword, to say that there is no secret here, he doesn't believe it, it's just that he doesn't know it for the time being.
Murong Longcheng had obviously never encountered a scoundrel like Xie Tong, although their Xue Yantuo clan was ferocious, they were also straightforward and didn't like to beat around the bush.
Murong Longcheng suddenly said, "Xie Tong, I have heard of your past, I know your character, and I respect you as a hero, but your performance today really disappointed me, I will change the rules, how about our duel, you won, take all the people away, I promise not to pursue this matter, you lose, leave the Qingyu Sword, and take your people out of the desert, and I will not pursue it, so the arrangement is already my bottom line." ”
Xie Tong said without thinking, "Okay, gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase, let's try it!"
Hong Shan grabbed Xie Tong and motioned him not to be impulsive, she said in a low voice, "Murong Longcheng is one of the five masters in the desert, and his name is empty, so it is better to give him the sword, if you don't have a suitable weapon, how about Shan'er's green bamboo for you!"
Cai Wei didn't want Xie Tong to put herself in danger, she said unhappily, "Xie boy, don't be strong, you will receive it when you see it, and you will often get more things." ”
Xie Tong knew that the two of them were for his good, but the Qingyu Sword was a sacred relic of the master's sect, and he couldn't let this supreme treasure get lost in his hands. He smiled and said, "Brother Murong, before the competition, can you let us see Huo Zixin."
Murong Longcheng nodded, and hurriedly ordered the two horse thieves to enter the oasis, and after a while, Huo Zixin had already been brought out, his hands and feet were bound by cowhide bands, and he couldn't move, and the acupoints were obviously also controlled by Murong Longcheng.
As soon as Huo Zixin came out, when he saw Murong Longcheng, he scolded him, "You despicable and shameless thing, you have the ability to let Lao Tzu go, let's fight alone, Lao Tzu will definitely want you to look good!"
Huo Zixin scolded for a long time, Murong Longcheng didn't refute a word, he was tired of scolding, only then did he see Xie Tong, he glanced at Xie Tong, and didn't make a sound, but Xie Tong understood what he meant, that is, to save him.
From Huo Zixin's insults, Xie Tong heard some clues, Huo Zixin seemed to have been attacked or ambushed by Murong Longcheng, if he won Huo Zixin head-on, he wouldn't have scolded like this, it seems that Murong Longcheng's martial arts should not be as terrifying as Chongli.
Murong Longcheng waved his hand, Huo Zixin had been taken down, he looked at Xie Tong with a smile and said, "General Xie, please!"
Xie Tong took a deep breath, stood out from the Tang Army, and said, "Since Brother Murong has this Yaxing, Xie Tong will accompany him to the end, I only hope that Brother Murong can keep his word!"
Murong Longcheng sneered and said, "The clansmen listen to my orders, if I unfortunately die at the hands of General Xie, I must not seek revenge against them, and let them leave the desert." With that, he shouted, "Palm the lamp." He took the lead and walked towards the small square in the middle of the oasis.
Xie Tong followed behind him.
At this moment, it was dark, and the oasis was lit with dim oil lamps, and more than a dozen were hung around Xiaoguang Square, but the oil lamps were oil lamps after all, not as bright as the candles of the palace, and only the outlines of people could be seen.
Xie Tong took a lot of effort to see Murong Longcheng's face clearly, his face seemed to be bad, as if something important was pressing on his heart, until this moment, Xie Tong couldn't believe that such a famous hero had become a horse thief, making a living by robbing homes and houses, killing people and stealing goods, how not to make people sigh, he faintly felt that this matter was related to the Xue Yantuo family.
Xie Tong asked softly, "Before you start, junior brother has a question I want to ask Brother Murong!"
Murong Longcheng said expressionlessly, "Please speak!"
Xie Tong said, "The junior brother wants to know, with Brother Murong's great talent, why do you do such things that people are angry with, is there anything unspeakable about Brother Murong?
He obviously saw Murong Longcheng's body trembling slightly.
Murong Longcheng sighed, and then his face became hideous, and he sneered, "As long as you can defeat me, I will serve everything together, talk less nonsense and do more!
Seeing that Murong Longcheng was determined to fight, Xie Tong hurriedly put away the doubts in his heart, he secretly raised his true qi and prepared to fight to the death.
Murong Longcheng suddenly raised his true qi, centered on him, and released a very oppressive momentum, which suddenly spread to the surroundings, and the small square was instantly oppressed by this momentum, and the onlookers felt a chill coming towards them.
This sense of oppression can't be touched or seen, but it is deeply implanted in everyone's hearts, Hong Shan couldn't help but shudder, she threw herself directly into Cai Wei's arms, and only then did she feel a trace of warmth.
Cai Wei is the strongest master in the oasis except for the two dueling, she saw that Murong Longcheng released such a strong momentum as soon as she came up, and said softly, "Shan'er, this Murong Longcheng seems to be difficult to deal with, we have to support Xie Xiaozi at any time!"
Hong Shan nodded firmly.
Xie Tong was overwhelmed by the momentum of Murong Dragon City, he was the person who knew the strength of Murong Dragon City the most in the entire oasis, the momentum released by Murong Dragon City merged with the surrounding darkness, there was a feeling of seizing the essence of heaven and earth, and in this momentum, there was no concealment of his violent strength and inner anger.
It's like being in the middle of a snowy and icy place, and you're constantly suffering from the cold.
Murong Longcheng's move was very subtle, preemptive, Xie Tong had not yet made a move, and he was already at a disadvantage. If it weren't for Xie Tong's firm determination and detachment from the outside world, I am afraid that he would have fallen in this momentum, so that he would lose his resistance, this kind of exercise is very similar to the aura, but it is more powerful than the aura.
Without waiting for Xie Tong to react, Murong Longcheng suddenly moved, he rushed straight towards Xie Tong, and slapped a palm with his right hand in a bland manner, this palm did not slap Xie Tong's body, but directly three feet in front of Xie Tong's body, everyone was stunned, and they didn't know what Murong Longcheng meant.
Xie Tong squinted his eyes and looked at this unpretentious palm technique, at first he was also confused, he didn't know what the hell Murong Longcheng was doing, but when the meat palm approached, he was suddenly taken aback, Murong Longcheng's palm actually sealed all his figures, Murong Longcheng raised his left palm, and suddenly blasted out a palm, full of strength.
Xie Tongshang is the first time to see this kind of play, the left and right hands make moves at the same time, one real and one virtual, but it is rare.
Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, Xie Tong was busy with the back of his body, and at the same time condensed his true qi on the index finger of the middle finger of his right hand, and slapped a shadowless finger diagonally, heading towards Murong Longcheng's palm.
However, Murong Longcheng's left palm came very quickly, and without waiting for Xie Tong's Shadowless Finger True Qi to come out, his left palm was directly pressed to Xie Tong's fingertips.
The true qi of the Shadowless Finger was still at the fingertips, and it did not pose any threat to Murong Dragon City, and the true qi of the two collided directly in one place.
The strong true qi surged out from Murong Longcheng's left palm, Xie Tong only felt a shock in his right arm, and a strong force came from his right arm, Xie Tong couldn't stand the impact of the true qi, and with the intention of retreating his body, this palm directly slapped him sideways.
Luckily, he wasn't hurt, he just felt his blood surge.
Xie Tong twisted his body in the air and landed smoothly.
Murong Longcheng was overjoyed when he saw Xie Tong being slapped away by him, knowing that Xie Tong's internal strength cultivation was still a cut behind him, and before Xie Tong could gain a firm foothold, his body rose up, and he shot at Xie Tong with both palms, trying to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and defeat Xie Tong with the advantage of strong internal strength.
Xie Tong had not yet stood firm, seeing that Murong Longcheng was attacking again, with the induction of spiritual sense, he knew that these palms were full of internal strength, and if he fought hard, he was very likely to be injured, in fact, he was not much inferior to Murong Longcheng, but he was initially affected by his momentum, and it was difficult to play his true level, and now, the foothold was not stable, and it was even more taboo to fight hard.
Xie Tong squatted slightly, jumped up suddenly, plucked onions on dry land, and his legs were flat, just dodging the palms full of true qi, and at the same time, his right hand reached into the countryside, and the vertical palm was a knife, slashing towards Murong Longcheng's eyes.
Murong Longcheng's palms slammed into the air, and the residual momentum of the true qi directly smashed the big stone behind Xie Tong, and the broken stones flew in all directions, hitting the oil lamp hanging high, and the oil lamp was directly extinguished.
Murong Longcheng didn't expect Xie Tong to make such a move, he hurriedly stepped back, avoiding Xie Tong's blow.
Xie Tong landed again, and the broken stones smashed on his back, although it could not hurt him, it was also very painful.
Xie Tong had just landed, Murong Longcheng was like a great peng spreading his wings, he directly soared into the air, and pounced again, this time, he slapped out his left palm, and directly took the two feet in front of Xie Tong's heavenly spirit cover, this palm was the same as before, and he still couldn't see the reality clearly.
Xie Tong has suffered a loss, although he can't think of a move to crack his play, but he won't give him a chance to get close, this time he didn't dare to be careless, he was busy with his true qi, and hit Murong Longcheng's jumping figure with a shadowless finger.
With a sharp sound of breaking the air, the energy of the Shadowless Finger went straight in front of Murong Longcheng. The speed at which Murong Longcheng rushed forward was extremely fast, and it was very likely that he would knock down this true qi that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
Murong Longcheng obviously didn't expect Xie Tong to be so powerful, to know that the true qi condensation and breaking through the body is a rare miracle in the world, and there are very few people who can do it.
Murong Longcheng was in the air, and there was no way to avoid it, but he sensed the direction of the true qi attack, and immediately used the technique of falling a thousand catties, and his body immediately stopped moving forward, falling downward, and the true qi of the shadowless fingers swept past his neck, and directly cut off a piece of hair.
Although it didn't hit, Murong Longcheng was still scared into a cold sweat. After he landed, his body rushed forward again, this time he was not playing with false and real moves, but rushed to Xie Tong's body and punched Xie Tong's chest.
Seeing that Murong Longcheng reacted quickly, Xie Tong dodged his shadowless finger, and pressed again, he was also very admired in his heart. He hurriedly used the whirlwind footwork technique, and at the same time rushed towards Murong Longcheng, at the moment when the iron fist reached his body, he skillfully dodged to the left, and at the same time, he turned his palm into a knife and cut it under Murong Longcheng's armpit.
