The first style of "Splitting the Void Sword Duel" - drawing the sword.

This is a trick that Xu Chen has practiced countless times, and he has already mastered it. This style seems simple, but it is extremely mysterious.

The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken. This is not only applicable in secular force, but also in the world of cultivation, and in the case of the same cultivation, the fast side naturally takes advantage of unlimited opportunities.

As the saying goes, "I'd rather take from the straight than from the song." ”

Whether it is secular martial arts or the sword duel practiced by practitioners, most of them go straight in pursuit of speed, but "Splitting the Void Sword Duel" is an outlier, and this first style is a classic of seeking speed in the song.

Straight is just the fastest sword line in an ideal state, but the battlefield is chaotic and ever-changing, since it is a game, the opponent will not stand there and not move, giving you the opportunity to go straight.

What's more, there are times when you can't attack straight even if the opponent is motionless, such as the sword in the sheath, such as the connection between each sword.

At the moment when the old man looked excitedly at the silver ticket in his hand, Xu Chen immediately used this first style, the sword drawing style. With lightning speed, he pulled out the copper hairpin on the head of the girl next to him.

There is no pause, no adjustment, the copper hairpin draws a beautiful arc in the air, piercing the throat of the old man, if there is a master present, it will definitely be seen that this is the most concise line at the moment, and there will be no deviation at all.

The tip of the hairpin pierced the old man's neck in an instant, and the bright red blood flowed down the folded skin on the old man's neck.

However, even in this short half an inch, Xu Chen never stabbed out.

I don't know when, the old man's left hand has formed a strange handprint, he retreated half a step back, his right hand silently put the silver ticket into his arms, and then touched the wound on the neck, the wound was very shallow, but it scared the old man into a cold sweat.

He never imagined that the young man in front of him with clear eyebrows was also a cultivator, and the speed of his attack had already exceeded his imagination. If it weren't for the fact that he suddenly felt a fluctuation of aura and made a handprint in time, the result would not be unimaginable.

The old man wiped the blood on his neck, his expression had long lost the ease he had at the beginning, he simply wiped the blood on his neck, looked at Xu Chen opposite curiously angrily, and didn't speak for a long time.

At this time, Xu Chen seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force, his body was stiff and he couldn't make any movements, and the aura that had been gathering quickly seemed to be shackled by an invisible container, and he couldn't get out.

Suddenly, a cold and soft hand reached out out of nowhere, grabbing Xu Chen's left hand, which was naturally swinging back but was also stiff.

Xu Chen could clearly feel that the cold little hand was trembling, trembling with fear.

"Hmph! What a cunning little doll!

The old man on the other side gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, "However, I have become interested in you, come! Tell me, what trick are you using?"

Xu Chen actually smiled slightly, and said sarcastically: "I am only cunning at most, but you are shameless!"

"Haha"

The old man stroked the sparse beard under his chin, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, but his eyes were extremely cold, "How about we make a deal?"

"You say!" Xu Chen replied in a sonorous voice.

"Tell me the tricks you used, and I'll let you live. ”

Xu Chen closed his eyes deeply and said softly: "Will a shameless person like you keep his promise? Even if I believe it, I'm afraid even you won't believe it!"

"Haha!

The old man's beard trembled slightly, "Hmph! Since you don't know the times, don't blame me for being ruthless, didn't you just want to pierce my throat? Then you can see now whose throat will be pierced!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw the old man's pupils suddenly close, although he didn't move all over his body, but Xu Chen felt that he was holding the right hand of the copper hairpin, as if he was being tightly pinched by an invisible and powerful hand, and then turned his wrist, and the spikes of the copper hairpin were towards him, slowly stabbing his throat.

The sharp spikes of the copper hairpin are getting closer and closer, three inches, two inches, one inches.

At this time, the girl behind Xu Chen suddenly spoke: "You let him go, whatever you want, my father will give it to you." ”

The voice trembled, though extremely trembling, but it was quite determined.

The old man shook his head and said with a smile: "Girl, you are not qualified to negotiate with me now, you are now in my hands, of course your father will listen to me, do you need to say this?"

The copper hairpin had already touched the skin of Xu Chen's neck at this time, but there was no sign of stopping, and after a while, a burst of pain hit, and blood slowly flowed out of Xu Chen's neck.

The old man smiled with satisfaction, and said, "How is it? Little doll! ”

"Humph!"

Xu Chen breathed rapidly, "Let go of your [mom]'s fart!"

Hearing Xu Chen's insults, the old man didn't care at all, the copper hairpin continued to move forward, and more and more blood was left on Xu Chen's neck, and finally the entire neckline was dyed red.

"How?"

The old man asked again, "If you don't say it again, I'm afraid I'll ......."

For some reason, the old man's playful voice stopped abruptly, and his body trembled unconsciously, and his dry lips rose slightly: "This...... This ......"

The old man didn't say anything for a long time, but just stretched out his trembling right hand and pointed to the placket of Xu Chen's neckline.

After a while, the change was abrupt, and there was a nameless gust of cold wind blowing in the inn, it was a real cold wind, and it was a little biting cold.

The copper hairpin naturally stopped standing still, the strange thing is that the placket on Xu Chen's chest suddenly swelled sharply, as if an invisible force kept pouring into his chest, if he could look down, he would definitely be frightened by himself and screamed, a little blue light was revealed from the collar, through the dense gap of the coarse cloth, you can vaguely see that the blue light showed the shape of a sword, which is probably the reason why the old man pointed at him.

"Soul Eater......

The old man struggled to squeeze out two words from his mouth, as if he recognized something, but his throat choked abnormally, I don't know how long it took, the old man's already very thin body slowly collapsed, and the skin that leaked naked outside the clothes was wrinkled more and more, more and more dense, as if it was much older in an instant.

Suddenly, Xu Chen felt his whole body relax, and the power that shackled him finally disappeared, he didn't hesitate, and came to the front of the old man with a brisk step, and the copper hairpin stabbed out, still in the sword drawing style, still at such an amazing speed.

Unlike last time, the old man almost didn't react, and the copper hairpin was inserted into his throat in an instant, and blood gushed out, splashing Xu Chen's face.

"Gollum...... Gollum ......"

There was a strange rattle in the old man's throat, as if he wanted to say something, and his pupils grew larger and wider, and after a moment he collapsed to the ground.

However, Xu Chen did not stop, he quickly rode on the old man's body, and kept waving the copper hairpin in his hand, and the blood holes in the old man's neck became more and more, and finally festered.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Chen finally found that the old man was motionless, so he gasped and stood up, and he looked back at the girl.

The girl was bowing her head deeply at this time, her eyes were closed, and she was still trembling all over, and it seemed that she was frightened by the bloody scene in front of her and did not dare to look at it.

Xu Chen didn't come to the girl slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's go!"

However, the girl still did not react, did not dare to open her eyes, nor did she dare to raise her head.

Xu Chen shook his head helplessly, took the girl's cold and trembling little hand, and walked towards the door.

At this time, Xu Chen still didn't know that this weak girl who was held by him at will was actually the baby daughter of the famous Pingxi general An Boyuan.

I don't know that she is the one who was named the lord of Lanqing by the emperor of the current dynasty, and her status is even higher than that of the royal princess.

The Chaoyang Empire, the most powerful empire in the known land, its powerful iron cavalry has trampled every inch of the Central Plains, and other countries, large and small, are all terrified when they hear the Chaoyang Iron Cavalry.

At this moment, the most powerful iron cavalry of Chaoyang Kingdom is under the command of An Boyuan, the general of Pingxi, as everyone knows, the 300,000 troops under An Boyuan are forty percent of the empire's army, but they have seventy percent of the empire's combat effectiveness, which is probably related to its perennial defense of the northwest frontier.

Because the northwest land is full of yellow sand, this iron horse has a fierce and strong character like a wolf, so it is called "sand wolf iron horse" by civil and military officials and ordinary people.

A few years ago, His Majesty the Emperor wanted to crown An Boyuan as the "King of Pingxi", which would be the first king with a different surname in the history of the empire, but was rejected by An Boyuan several times.

Mu Xiu is in the forest wind will destroy the truth, An Boyuan understands.

Like the previous border generals, An Boyuan's family members are not around, but live in the capital Boyan, on the surface, this is deeply favored by the emperor, but in fact he is just a hostage of the emperor.

This time, her precious daughter went to the frontier to visit her father, but she did not expect to suffer such a catastrophe on the way back to the capital.

Xu Chen took the cold little hand and walked out of the inn and walked towards the carriage by the jungle, he wanted to send the girl to Scarface's side, because Scarface was not dead yet.

There were two people sitting quietly on the ground next to the carriage, one of them was naturally Scarface, and the other was of course the scholar.

They sat cross-legged facing each other, each conditioning their bodies. In order to heal their injuries, the spiritual energy in the spiritual sea in their bodies has long been depleted, and they have no strength to do it. Their bodies at this time could not even catch up with an old man who was over his prime.

When the soul master walked into the inn, both of them seemed to have guessed the result, but when they found that it was Xu Chen and the girl who came out of the inn, they were both shocked.

It's just that Scarface's face has a smile of relief in addition to surprise.

Seeing Xu Chen slowly approaching, his face was still stained with blood, the scholar hurriedly and staggered to his feet, of course he was not ready to fight, he didn't have that strength anymore, he just wanted to escape.

"Hey!"

Xu Chen screamed softly, calm and cold, "What's the hurry, those dozens of corpses in the inn are still waiting for you!"
