Chapter 14: The Relapse of Old Wounds
"That's enough!" Lu Yushan interrupted Xiao Ting's words angrily: "Hurt my friend, kill my disciple!" If Lu Yushan continues to tolerate it, he will be the leader of the martial arts alliance in vain!" As he spoke, a sword stabbed at Xiao Ting.
Xiao Ting stood there stupidly, not knowing how to dodge.
At this moment, a golden light flashed, and a golden-backed big knife blocked Lu Yushan's long sword.
Lu Yushan was surprised and said, "Elder Hong, is it possible that you have come to this point, and you still want to shield this thief?"
"I'm not trying to shield him. So far, Hong Tai can't defend Xiao Ting, so he has to say in a neutral tone: "Xiao Ting is the righteous nephew of the alliance leader after all, killing him will be bad for the reputation of the alliance leader, I think this matter is better handled by the government." ”
"Slandering the elders and insulting my father's name, I don't have such a righteous nephew who doesn't know what to do!" Lu Yushan roared angrily, and was just about to shake away Hong Tai's golden knife, when he suddenly felt that the surrounding space became empty, and all sounds and things seemed to be isolated behind an invisible barrier!
Even Hong Tai, who was standing opposite Lu Yushan, felt that invisible change, and was shocked in his heart, secretly saying Who could block all the opponent's retreats purely by relying on qi machines?
Hong Taizheng thought that it was Sun Shaoyang who made a move, and a little cold star had flashed out of nothingness, and he pointed to the door of Lu Yushan without warning.
Although Hong Tai's martial arts are not as good as Lu Yushan, he is also a top-notch figure in the martial arts, more than a step higher than Qiao Zhenhai and others.
"Bang" sparks overflowed, Xue Nianci's delicate figure appeared, and at the same time that she was shocked by Lu Yushan's invincible internal force and fell backwards, she had already pulled Xiao Ting behind her.
Lu Yushan is nicknamed the "Sage Sword", and his defensive skills are unparalleled in the world, but he pretended to be caught off guard, luring Xue Nianci's long sword to make the old, and then a sword was split, and he wanted to rely on strong internal force to build the enemy to death in the shortest possible time to avoid being obstructed by Hong Tai again.
In fact, Xue Nianci didn't have the intention of hurting Lu Yushan, she just wanted to force the other party back and save Xiao Ting from danger, so she didn't use all her strength, but she was taken advantage of by Lu Yushan.
Xue Nianci is also too inexperienced, Lu Yushan can become the leader of the martial arts alliance, the skill is so high that she can not imagine, and she may not be able to win if she goes all out, this stay of the hand, suddenly let Lu Yushan take advantage of the void to enter, without waiting for Xue Nianci to gain a firm foothold, the cold light in front of him flashed again, and Lu Yushan's long sword had been chased and stabbed.
There was a loud "dang" sound again, and Xue Nianci opened her mouth and spewed out a stream of bloody arrows. Under the traction of the qi machine, she couldn't use all her strength in this sword, and was attacked by the powerful internal force attached to the sword by Lu Yushan, and Xue Niancili was seriously injured.
The two swords that were slashed with all his might couldn't take Xue Nianci's life, and Lu Yushan couldn't help but praise "Good swordsmanship!" Step out, the sword in his hand dazzled under the light of the torch, and forced Xue Nianci again at an unpredictable and wonderful angle.
Xue Nianci knew that she was injured and could not resist Lu Yushan's attack again, and when she was desperate to find a way out, she was shocked to find that Lu Yushan's sword was secretly in line with the Heavenly Dao, and the human and sword seemed to merge with the surrounding environment, silently sealing all the vitality around her.
Xue Nianci couldn't avoid it, raised her sword three times, and collided with Lu Yushan's long sword.
There was a "click" sound. This time, Xue Nianci's flying phoenix sword finally broke through the protection of Lu Yushan's true qi attached to the sword under the vigorous intersection, and cut the opponent's long sword into two, but Xue Nianci himself was like a stone that was bounced away, spurting blood and flying upside down, and fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Thief, take your life!" Although Lu Yushan only had half of the truncated sword left in his hand, his momentum was increasing unabated, and his body shot forward like a shadow, raising half of the sword like a dagger, aiming at Xue Nianci who fell to the ground.
With a loud roar, Xiao Ting, who woke up, desperately threw himself on Xue Nianci.
The fierce sword exchange like the explosion of firecrackers sounded intensively behind Xiao Ting, Xiao Ting took the opportunity to roll out in a hurry with Xue Nianci, and when he sat up, he saw Chai Shaoning and Lu Yushan both jumping away.
In this fight, the two seemed to have a draw, but what Lu Yushan was holding in his hand was only a half-truncated sword, and many of the sword moves that he was used to could not exert the power they should have.
Everything seems complicated, but in fact, it only happened in the blink of an eye, Xue Nianci had already vomited blood and fell to the ground, seriously injured.
Seeing Lu Yushan's might, those local martial arts people suddenly became excited, and some sycophants rushed forward and handed over the long sword and said, "The alliance leader takes the sword!"
Lu Yushan was also not polite, and changed his long sword to shake the sword body, making a "hum" sword sound, which attracted the attention of everyone present and said: "Everyone, whether you live or die today, you must not let the thief go." But all the friends who act righteously, my Lu Yushan will be grateful, if it asks for something in the future, it will do its best!"
With Lu Yushan's promise, the local martial arts people who had originally intended to please him suddenly went crazy, raised their swords and danced their swords, and besieged Sun Shaoyang and others.
"Ting'er, quickly take Nianci out of here!" Sun Shaoyang saw that the situation was not good, and he took out three swords in a row to force Sun Yu back, jumped forward, and joined forces with Chai Shaoning to block everyone's attacks.
Sima Long also knew that the current situation was unreasonable, so he gave up Qiao Zhenhai and Sun Peixian, and rushed over to form a semi-circle formation with Sun Shaoyang and Chai Shaoning, protecting Xiao Ting and Xue Nianci to leave first.
Xue Nianci didn't even have the strength to get up at this time. Xiao Ting picked up the beautiful woman on his back, and under the cover of the master and the two sworn brothers, jumped onto the house on the side of the road and ran out of the town on the north side.
After running for an hour, seeing that there was a dense forest around him, and he could no longer hear the sound of the chasing soldiers, Xiao Ting found a hidden grass and let Xue Nianci go.
"This-" It was only at this time that Xiao Ting was shocked to realize that Xue Nianci's body was covered with blood, not only was the front chest and placket stained red by the blood spit out of his mouth, but his back and even his trousers had become red, mottled and frightening in the moonlight, as if he had been splashed with blood.
"Second sister!" Xiao Ting shouted, "How can this be?"
"This girl should have an old wound that has not healed, and the force caused the wound to burst open. A vigorous voice suddenly came from the darkness: "If you can take Lu Yushan with all your strength, I am afraid that only the old man and Sun Yu can do it in the entire Daimyo's Mansion." Your righteous sister's skills are far better than yours, I hope she can survive this hurdle!"
Xiao Ting was so frightened that he drew his sword and turned around, and saw an old man holding a golden knife, pulling out the bushes and approaching.
"Grandpa Hong!" Xiao Ting rushed forward and grabbed Hong Tai's sleeve like a life-saving straw, and begged bitterly: "Save Nian Ci, save Nian Ci!" After speaking, his expression was suddenly stunned, and he threw away Hong Tai's sleeve as if he remembered something and asked, "Is Grandpa Hong here to arrest me?"
Hong Tai glared at Xiao Ting angrily and said, "Don't talk nonsense, take this girl with you and come with me." ”
Hong Tai's martial arts are strong, and Lu Yushan and Sun Shaoyang are fighting fiercely, and no one pays attention to him, so he can easily get rid of everyone and go behind Xiao Ting.
Along the way, Hong Tai secretly made a move, scaring off several groups of martial arts people and thugs from the Lu Mansion who were chasing Xiao Ting, and then he chased after him.
Seeing that Hong Tai had no malicious intent, Xiao Ting, who had no master of the six gods, cried out with joy, grabbed the flying phoenix sword in Xue Nianci's hand and inserted it into his waist, and then picked up the dying second sister and ran forward with Hong Tai.
Out of the woods, I saw the wide surface of the Hutuo River in front of me. Hong Tai took Xiao Ting to run up the pillar incense time and entered a bustling market town built along the river.
Even at night, the flower building of the prostitute village located on the bank of the river embankment in the market town is still lit up, and the flower boats full of lanterns float on the river. Those officials and wealthy businessmen who believe in eating and lust do not reduce the slightest bit of the romantic and drunk Yaxing because of the cold of the autumn night, and turn this town that is not a city into a paradise of drunken dreams and death.
Undying to enjoy the view, he avoided the brightly lit riverbank and stumbled into a three-story courtyard beside one of the town's main roads.
The yard is built in a boxy way, although it is not big, but it is orderly, the pebble road, the small flower pond, the willow tree at the corner of the wall, there are also stone tables and stone benches under the small cool hall set up in the middle of the courtyard, which can be used for people to enjoy the cool in summer, enjoy the moon in autumn, and watch the snow in winter.
It can be seen that the owner of the yard is a very sentimental person.
Hong Tai coughed on the ground, and a voice came out of the building: "Who is it?"
"Brother Qin Xian, it's me!" Hong Tai responded.
Hearing that it was Hong Tai's voice, a middle-aged man rushed out of the candlelit hall downstairs, wearing a square Shouzi streamer blue brocade hat, wearing a blue satin brocade jacket, and a big Shouzi seal on his chest, which looked neat and noble.
This person had no beard on his face, and his appearance was cold, and as soon as he went out, he asked in surprise, "Why did the eldest brother come in the middle of the night?"
"Don't ask. Hong Tai urged: "Help me save someone!"
While the two were talking, an old man dressed as a servant and a delicate-looking girl rushed out of the room.
The old servant was very old, his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were yellow and unkempt on his slightly thin face, his beard was messy, and a gray robe that seemed to be drooping at the front and lifted by the hem because he bowed forward slightly, giving people a feeling of being only swaying.
The girl next to the old servant was not tall, and her age was similar to that of Xue Nianci.
It's already late at night, and the hosta ring on the girl's head is removed, and she temporarily ties her long hair with a flower handkerchief, with a round face and almond eyes, a pink tight-fitting cotton jacket, and a pair of delicate embroidered shoes under her feet, which looks extremely delicate and cute.
Xiao Ting suddenly remembered that he had seen the father and daughter with his father, and he could still remember that the middle-aged man surnamed Qin Ming Xiaoyou, famous for his medical skills, and his martial arts were not low, but he loved calligraphy and painting more by nature, and was a person with great talent and personality. Otherwise, how dare Hong Tai easily let Qin Xiaoyou know about this kind of murderous misfortune?
The beautiful girl is Qin Yufei, the daughter of Qin Xiaoyou, who once studied martial arts with Xiao Ting, and her swordsmanship was very outstanding, which left a deep impression on Xiao Ting, so as soon as Qin Yufei came out of the house, Xiao Ting remembered the names of the father and daughter.
As for the old servant of the Qin family, Xiao Ting hadn't seen him before, and he didn't know what his name was?
