Chapter Twenty-Four: Defeat and Escape
No matter how you look at it, Chu Xiaowen's two swords forced the old man back, they all had the upper hand, Bai Xi and the others felt that Chu Xiaowen was even more shameless when they saw this, Su Changge and Bai Xi immediately jumped up and rushed forward again.
At this time, the tall old man stopped, but laughed loudly: "Good boy, take the old man's knife." ”
As he spoke, he stepped out, and the short knife was full of green, as if a divine tree had descended from the sky, and it slashed at Chu Xiaowen with the momentum of splitting Huashan.
This knife is like a thousand pounds, with the cold and murderous aura on the old man's body, don't say Chu Xiaowen, even Chu Li and the others suddenly felt chills all over their bodies, and Bai Xi and the two who were rushing over couldn't help but stop, as if they were about to fall into the abyss if they took another step forward.
Chu Xiaowen, who faced this momentum, trembled even more, but he knew that he couldn't retreat, because as soon as he retreated, the little courage he forced out would leave him, and then he would no longer be able to fight with the old man, and it would not be difficult for him to escape with his style, but in this way, Chu Li and the others were really slaughtered, and standing behind him, Liu Meixue, who was closest to him, was his only friend now, and one of the people he valued the most, even if he gave up his life, he couldn't let her be hurt in the slightest.
Chu Xiaowen shouted, using this as a way to drive away the slight chill on his body, and raised his sword to greet him.
There was a thud, like two ancient trees being lifted and knocked together by a giant, and the short knife slashed at the wooden sword but retreated with a single blow.
From the two moves just now, the old man had already felt the endless power of Chu Xiaowen's body, and knew that it would be far inferior if he fought to consume himself, so he used all his strength with this sword, so that the power completely exploded at the moment when the sword collided.
Such a simple and violent knife was very effective, Chu Xiaowen only felt that his entire arm was paralyzed, and an irresistible huge force was transmitted from the sword to his body, so that he couldn't help but open his mouth and spurt out a mouthful of blood, and the huge force was transmitted to the ground, and his feet sank deep into the ground one foot deeper.
"Xiaowen. Liu Meixue saw Chu Xiaowen vomiting blood, she couldn't help but exclaim, she now also knew Chu Xiaowen's original intention of not letting Bai Xi and the two interfere, just the momentum exuded by this old man made them like real three-year-old children, they didn't even have the courage to make a move, and they could only be sent to death if they went up.
At this time, seeing that after the old man's knife, he stood firm in one step, and slashed again, Liu Meixue couldn't help but breathe, forgot the fear in her heart for a while, lifted the wooden sword with a pale face, and rushed forward.
Although Chu Xiaowen's sword is fast, it does not have the ruthlessness of the other party's life-and-death struggle, and only forty percent of the strength is left at this time, and it is not easy to block a knife.
At this moment, a white figure swept out from behind, and the wooden sword in his hand rose to a bit of frost and stabbed at the tall old man.
The old man's eyes were cold, and the short knife in his hand changed direction slightly, slashing at the white shadow, ignoring the ice sword that stabbed at him.
The old man's knife has an indomitable momentum, much faster than the ice sword, and the old man's arm is longer than the girl's plain arm after all, and he can slash this weak girl before the ice sword stabs him.
Liu Meixue also saw the gap between the two, but she was bent on saving Chu Xiaowen, and this sword was stabbed out desperately, and there was no room for turning.
"Be careful. Chu Xiaowen also saw that this white figure was Liu Meixue, and couldn't help but scream, and hurriedly reached out to hug her waist, turned sideways, and turned around, and the long sword went up to the short knife.
There was another heavy explosion, and Chu Xiaowen and Liu Meixue flew into the woods on the side like boulders thrown by siege engines.
Chu Xiaowen hugged Liu Meixue tightly in front of him, knocked down two big trees in a row with his back, and drew a trace of more than three zhang between the grass and trees before slamming into a giant tree, smashing the giant tree through most of the trunk, and then stopped.
Chu Xiaowen and the two slipped from the tree to the ground, and Liu Meixue also had a little bloodshot at the corner of her mouth, but the old man's knife, the force of the impact all the way was borne by Chu Xiaowen, she was only injured by a little aftershock, but there was no big damage.
It's just that when she raised her face from Chu Xiaowen's arms to look at Chu Xiaowen, she couldn't help but be frightened by his face, and asked in a panic, "Xiaowen, how are you?"
Chu Xiaowen looked at the concern and worry in her eyes, and wanted to say something, but he felt a sweet throat and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Liu Meixue was in his arms, and her face suddenly turned red when she was sprayed with blood, but her face was completely occupied by fear, and she completely ignored the smell of blood.
"What's wrong with you, don't scare me. Liu Meixue stretched out her trembling hands and wiped the blood from Chu Xiaowen's mouth in a panic, tears already rolling in her eyes.
"I'm fine..."
As soon as Chu Xiaowen said this, he looked at Liu Meixue's back and suddenly opened his pupils, and suddenly pushed Liu Meixue aside, and the wooden sword in his hand flashed blue and rushed upward.
With a bang, Chu Xiaowen's body directly penetrated the giant tree, flew out from the other side, and rolled to the ground, the clothes behind him had all been torn, and the flesh and blood were blurred, which was unbearable.
The tall old man slapped his big hand, and the big tree that had been pierced by a big hole fell to the ground with a bang, raising countless stumps and leaves.
The green on the old man's knife is more intense than the green leaves around it, but the woods in spring give people the feeling of vitality, and the green light in the old man's knife can only bring the breath of death.
"You're good, if you have more experience in the rivers and lakes, or after you kill people, I won't be your opponent at all. ”
The old man slowly stepped over the fallen tree, just like an elder looking at an outstanding child, he did not hide the admiration in his eyes, but he also felt sorry for such a genius to die here.
"It's a pity, why are you chasing us, you shouldn't have died here. ”
Chu Xiaowen propped up his body, and his Xuan power continued to circulate in his body, trying his best to suppress the injury.
"Since it's a pity, wouldn't it be nice to let us go. Looking at the old man who came step by step, Chu Xiaowen squinted his eyes and said.
Chu Xiaowen now has blood stasis in his chest, and he feels weak even when he moves, and the Xuan Li in the dantian gushes out unreservedly, constantly using the Xuan Power to conflict, hoping to divert the attention of the old man, as long as it takes a while, he can dredge the blood veins.
However, the old man is an old man after all, and he can see Chu Xiaowen's current situation at a glance.
The old man laughed and said: "If you are allowed to leave, the master of the Chu family's heavenly realm will arrive in a moment, and I will be the one who can't leave at that time, do you say that the child's life is more important, or your own life is more important." ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward suddenly, and the short knife in his hand slashed straight at Chu Xiaowen's head.
Chu Xiaowen was only a few moments away from being able to dredge his bloodline, but after all, he couldn't catch up with this knife before it fell.
His eyes showed unwillingness, he hadn't taken revenge yet, he hadn't found his sister yet, A-Niang was not in good health, and who else could take care of her in the future.
"I'm fighting with you. ”
But at this moment, a coquettish sound sounded, and Liu Meixue rushed out from the side with a resolute force, with pieces of snowflakes floating on her body, with the frost-covered wooden sword in her hand, snow-white dress, snow-white skin, just like a fairy in the snow.
"Look for death. ”
The old man snorted coldly, and with just a casual slap of the short knife, he knocked the ice sword away, and then stretched out his kick and kicked it on Liu Meixue's body.
The white figure flew out like a broken kite, and a few red pearls were thrown all the way, and Liu Meixue fell into the bushes, and then there was no sound.
Bai Xi and Su Changge walked over with their swords and followed the traces, just saw the scene of Liu Meixue being kicked away, and then looked at Chu Xiaowen who was sitting on the ground dejectedly, and did not dare to step forward for a while.
The old man also felt the strange noise behind him, turned his head, and glanced at the two of them with extremely cold eyes.
The two teenagers were swept by this glance, as if they had been stabbed from the body by a sword, taking away ignorance and leaving fear, and the two unconsciously began to retreat.
The old man ignored the two of them, turned around and said, "That girl is not bad, she is so affectionate and righteous at a young age, and it is really rare to be able to take life and death to heart." ”
This sentence made Bai Xi and the others, who did not dare to step forward, feel ashamed, but their steps back accelerated even more.
Chu Xiaowen didn't speak, his eyes were motionless looking at the direction where she fell since Liu Meixue flew up, and a violent aura slowly emanated from his body.
The old man frowned, and a strong uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart, and he suddenly used his Xuan power to inject it into the short knife in his hand, and immediately slashed at Chu Xiaowen again.
When the short knife fell like a giant tree, Chu Xiaowen suddenly jumped up from the ground, as if it had no weight, like a ghost, but this ghost was all blue.
The blue light on the sword was like a flame burning, and from an impossible angle, it bypassed the giant tree and stabbed at the old man's wrist.
The old man's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly let go of his hand to avoid the thorn, but the other hand caught the hilt of the knife in the next moment, and the giant tree rolled and slapped horizontally towards the ghost.
It's just that the wooden sword was wrapped around the short knife at this time, and the two weapons were attached together, and the giant wood swung and the wooden sword also swung with it, but it was not affected by the power on the giant wood at all.
The old man swung his sword violently, but the two weapons were like one, and no matter how hard he tried and how he changed his moves, the wooden sword was still tightly attached to the knife.
This is the art of winding the sword, for the opponent with strong martial arts, this kind of swordsmanship with soft and rigid is a very effective way to break the enemy, the old man saw that Chu Xiaowen used the sword move for the first time just restrained his short knife, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
It's just that the old man didn't know that Chu Xiaowen hadn't learned sword tricks, this kind of sword-wrapping technique was just something he had seen other disciples use by chance, and he hadn't learned this kind of swordsmanship, at this time Chu Xiaowen had lost his mind because of anger, and his subordinates naturally used the sword-wrapping technique, and used the swordsmanship that he had never learned. If the old man knew that Chu Xiaowen was using this kind of sword technique for the first time today, he might have screamed and fled directly.
And if Chu Hui saw this scene, he would probably be shocked, he knew from Chu Long's mouth that not teaching Chu Xiaowen any swordsmanship was that Chu Xiaowen could learn all the swordsmanship, too many swordsmanship would only be a burden to Chu Xiaowen who pursued the fastest sword, but Chu Hui had no concept of being able to learn all swordsmanship, if he saw it at this time, he would be able to understand how much difference between what Chu Long said and his understanding.
I only read the swordsmanship once in a while, and even Chu Xiaowen didn't go out of his way to memorize it, and when he didn't even know the sword trick, he used the sword entanglement technique, a sword path that is completely different from Chu Xiaowen's straight sword, which is no longer a talent that can be described by the word monster.
The rolling blue waves kept crashing towards the giant tree, like countless sharp swords slashing at each other, chopping down the pieces of wood one by one.
The old man danced the short knife wildly, but he couldn't get rid of the entanglement of the wooden sword no matter what, and the power in the knife also disappeared point by point in the blue waves, and his face began to turn pale, and if this continued, the mysterious power in his body would soon be consumed.
But he didn't dare to let go, because as soon as he let go, what was waiting for him was the real killing sword.
Finally, when the old man's Xuan power was about to run out at all, there was a snap, but the blue light-wrapped wooden sword was the first to be unable to withstand the two Peng Bai's Xuan power, and it broke.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then ecstatic, indeed, how could a wooden sword withstand the constant collision of the whole body of the two Taixuan Realm masters.
The wooden sword broke, the winding power on the short knife suddenly disappeared, and the corners of the old man's mouth flashed a cruel smile, it seemed that the god of luck was still favoring him, and the young man in front of him brought him too many surprises and too many shocks, but everything was over.
The old man's short knife emitted the last green light, bringing out the arc of death and slashing towards Chu Xiaowen.
It's just that when the old man saw Chu Xiaowen's face, he felt a wave of fear again.
Chu Xiaowen's eyes were bloodshot, his face was hideous, he didn't react in the face of the short knife, he didn't have any fear, and the old man could feel this calmness not because he had lost his mind, but because he was really not afraid of this knife.
At this time, the old man also saw Chu Xiaowen's left hand, his left hand reached into the robe, and then suddenly pulled out.
A cold light illuminated the woods, and the old man's eyes ached.
Without any sound, the old man's short knife was cut off by the cold light.
The old man's eyes widened in disbelief, the Xuan Power Cover could make an ordinary wooden sword have the ability to break the sword, but it was also a short knife covered by the Xuan Power at the peak of the Taixuan Realm, even if the other party also held a real sword, it would not be able to cut it.
The only possibility is that the other party is holding a peerless weapon.
When the old man saw that the short knife was broken, he knew that he had no chance of winning, and suddenly a huge force was born on his body, and through the broken knife, it pressed against Chu Xiaowen's broken sword, forcing him out of Zhangxu.
Then without thinking about it, he jumped into the woods, and before the branches obscured his view, he turned back and saw the weapon that had cut off his short knife, a red dagger, on which several jewels flashed with precious light, and made people think that this could only be a beautiful handicraft played in the hands of a wealthy girl, not a knife that sharpened iron like clay.
