CHAPTER XXII

I wondered, how could so many masters come to this town in the middle of the night, and they are still on the roof of this inn, could it be some robber or thief, or the enemy of the innkeeper? I don't understand the things on the rivers and lakes, and besides, there are no police, only officials and bandits in these days, so I'd better be careful as long as you don't mess with me.

I cheered up, secretly luckily to the whole body, listening to the sound on the roof, at this time there were a few slight footsteps in the corridor outside the room, it seems that there are quite a lot of people in this group, these footsteps stopped when they walked to Li Mu's room, strange, these people are the people of the other party that the housekeeper said today, their target is that Li Mu?

Thinking of this, I was a little nervous, although Li Mu and I didn't have any friendship, and I didn't have a good impression of him in my heart, but that Li Mu was exactly the same as that Doudou, and it was a kind of fate to meet him here, I still didn't want him to have an accident.

I tied the purple heart grass and the sword book on my back with a package, holding the Aoki sword in my hand, and listening to the sound from next door with all my ears, at this time I could hear the breathing of three people next door, I was sure that one of them had fallen asleep, and the breathing sound was steady and rhythmic, and the other two people did not fall asleep when they listened to the breathing sound, and it was estimated that those two people were Li Mu's entourage.

"It's not good, it's toxic. "It's the bald voice.

As soon as the bald head shouted, only a few loud "bangs" were heard, and the people on the roof and in the corridor destroyed the doors and beams of the house and killed Li Mu and the others.

I could feel this extremely strong murderous aura, and in an instant, the sound of fighting in the next room was heard, and the sound of swords and metal clashing and the sound of shouting and clapping wind were mixed.

I performed light skills and flew lightly to the destroyed beam, only to see that more than a dozen black-clothed masked people in Li Mu's room were surrounding Li Mu and the three of them fighting, and Li Mu and the three of them were all leaning against each other to deal with the black-clothed people who were besieging them, and it seemed that Li Mu and the three of them were poisoned.

At this time, the people of the whole inn have been awakened, many people screamed and just ran for their lives, but there were still many people who did not go far and gathered downstairs to watch the excitement, and after a while, the town was boiling, many people came from all sides of the town, from the dress of many people, they all had martial arts, it seems that this inconspicuous town has so many masters, and the rivers and lakes are really troublesome.

Li Mu and the three of them tried their best to deal with the attacks of more than 10 people in black, and the more than 10 people in black had already separated Li Mu and the three of them, and several people surrounded and killed one person.

The bald man held a huge steel knife, and the steel knife cast by the cold iron in the night emitted bursts of knife light, this knife skill was very good, in the face of the attack of the 4 men in black, he didn't see any difficulty in the bald head at all, and in a few moves, a man in black was cut off an arm by the bald head.

The housekeeper's handsome middle-aged man's kung fu is even more powerful, holding a fan in his hand, it seems that the fan is also made of dark iron, this middle-aged man's body is very weird, although my eyesight is very good, but I can't fully see how he moves his body in this night, and he is comfortable in the face of the attacks of 6 people in black.

Then Li Mu was a little harder, Li Mu used a sword, the sword body was not as long as the Aoki sword, 4 men in black pressed him, Li Mu's sword move only had the power to parry, there was no room to fight back, and after a while, a man in black stabbed Li Mu's left arm with a sword.

"Master. Seeing this, the bald head hurriedly pulled over to help Li Mu, Li Mu was injured, so he had to stand behind the bald head, the situation was not very optimistic, the bald head was obviously at a disadvantage in the face of the attack of 7 people, and it didn't take long for the color to be hung, and the chest and back were cut by the knife twice, and the blood kept flowing.

"Master, you go quickly, He Jian and I are on top. Seeing that the situation was not good, the bald man suggested that Li Mu leave quickly.

"Master, Song Lin is right, you go quickly. The middle-aged housekeeper was also anxious to let Li Mu go quickly.

Li Mu hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly flew out of the room and flew to a flat ground on the courtyard of the inn, as soon as he stood still, five black-clothed people flew up and entangled Li Mu, and the bald head had to fly down to help Li Mu fight, and the blood from the wounds on his body kept flowing, and the ground was stained red by this blood.

"Hmph, it's not that easy to leave. An old voice came from among the men in black.

The situation in front of Li Mu is indeed inescapable, unless Li Mu is very good at light skills, at this moment Li Mu is also puzzled, the pain of the wound makes his face a little deformed, revealing a ruthless side.

He Jian saw that the bald head was injured, and after a rapid rotation hit the two black-clothed people with a fan, he also flew to the side of the bald head and Li Mu, and looked at it carefully, He Jian was not as relaxed as he was just now, his hair was scattered, his face was embarrassed, and his back was also slightly injured.

The man in black surrounded the three of them again and temporarily stopped attacking.

"I don't know who your Excellency is, I Li don't know what to offend your Excellency, why did you kill me three times. Li Mu's tone was cold.

"Hmph, why did you kill you You know it yourself, don't feel at ease in Yanjing, what are you going to do in the sky, Li, haha, lie to the children, today is the death date of the three of you. "It's still the same old voice, it seems that this old guy is the leader of this group of men in black.

Li Mu didn't speak again, looking at his expression, he seemed to understand the other party's origin, and his eyes revealed a strong murderous aura.

The voice of "killing" the old man sounded again, and the man in black began to attack again.

A few rounds later, the bald head Song Lin was slashed on the back again, the bald head didn't say a word, the Xuantie knife in his hand was still dancing fast, as if it was fine, I really admire this guy, he was slashed three times and it was so powerful, then He Jian didn't have the strength to fight back, he had to deal with the attack of the man in black on the one hand, and he also had to protect Li Mu, and he was also slashed in the left shoulder with a knife.

It won't be long before the three of Li Mu will definitely be killed by this group of black-clothed people.

I couldn't wait any longer, I took a deep breath, luck in my hand, and teleported in front of Li Mu, according to the two black-clothed people who attacked him.

"Pong", "Pong", two sounds, the two men in black who were hit by me flew out more than two meters away, spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, it seems to be dead, I used about half of my strength, but I didn't expect to kill two people in an instant, this is what I didn't expect, I just wanted to hurt the men in black and repel them, but I shot this time...

Am I that good?

"Ah, it's Miss Xiao. Li Mu saw me clearly, and his face was excited.

The men in black retreated when they saw the power of my two palms, but they still surrounded us and stopped attacking for the time being.

"Who is this girl, I didn't expect that she has such a deep internal strength at such a young age, I admire Wu, but what does these three people have to do with you, and you want to help them?" One of the people in black stepped forward, his voice was old, and it seemed that he was the leader.

I smiled, calmed down the mentality of killing people just now, there is no way back, I have already killed someone, there is a good saying, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, although I can't judge the identity and quality of these people in black for a while, but judging from the fact that they secretly poisoned outside Li Mufang's house before, this group of people is definitely not a good class.

"Hmph, Li Mu is my friend, anyone who is embarrassed by him is embarrassed by me, I am in charge of this matter today, if you are not afraid of death, just try. "My tone is very firm, and my voice is deliberately loud, which feels good, with the demeanor of those heroes on TV.

"Very good, then don't blame the old man, you all step down and let me have a few tricks with this girl alone. As soon as the old guy said this, the men in black retreated several steps away, and I also asked Li Mu and the three of them to take a few steps back, took out the Aoki sword, and stared at the old guy.

This old man is also a sword, but a huge bronze sword, the single width is twice as much as my Aoki sword, the length of the sword is about 1.5 meters, the good guy is estimated to weigh dozens of pounds, it seems that this old man's swordsmanship is mainly based on strength, thinking of this, I put out the Aoki swordsmanship of the sword style.

"Hmm", the old man shouted, his body stabbed towards me quickly, and a powerful air flow swept towards me, so strong force, I was shocked, I saw the sword path of this old man's stab, luck in both hands, and at the same time used a standing sword to stabilize the body.

"Dang", the Aoki sword and the bronze sword collided together, splashing bursts of sparks, I couldn't help but take two steps back, this power is too great, beyond my previous estimate, the old man in black on the opposite side also took five or six steps back and stabbed the bronze sword into the ground to stand still.

"Girl, what kind of swordsmanship are you, why did you block the old man's blow so easily?" the old man's tone was full of puzzlement, and he wanted to know the reason.

I took a few deep breaths and adjusted the airflow in my body:

"Hehe, this girl doesn't know what this trick is, but it's more than enough to deal with you, haha. ”

When I said this, the old man was half dead in anger, but I saw that the old man was determined, picked up the bronze sword from the ground, and slowly crossed it to his chest, his eyes revealing a strange murderous aura.

"Girl, don't blame the old man for being ruthless. As soon as the words were finished, the old man's body flew over, and the speed was much faster than the trick just now, only to see a black shadow suddenly float over, and the bronze sword actually emitted a faint blue light.

Ah, sword qi, this old guy has actually comprehended the qi sword style, but I'm sure the old man is not practicing the green wood swordsmanship, but his swordsmanship cultivation has reached the realm of the qi sword style, but looking at the faint blue light on the bronze sword, I can be sure that the old man's sword qi has not yet reached a very high level, and the light of this blue light should be comparable to the sword qi I am currently exerting.

But this alone is enough to attract my attention, I secretly gathered the qi of the dantian to my hands, and at the same time cast the qi sword style of the Aoki swordsmanship, and instantly the Aoki sword also flashed a faint white light, at this moment the old man has flown in front of me, the huge bronze sword is heavily chopped down according to me, I used the Aoki sword in my right hand to resist this attack, the power of this blow is several times greater than the one just now, fortunately I was prepared, stretched nearly eighty percent of my strength, but I was still forced back five steps away by this old man。

As soon as I stood firm, the old man withdrew his bronze sword, and his left hand slashed towards the door in front of me, I was taken aback, I didn't expect this old guy to be so skilled, and in an instant, he was busy with a breath of true energy, stretched out his left hand and took it hard against the old man's left hand.

With a "Peng" sound, I took three steps back, and I only felt that my heart was churning badly by this blow, and I almost vomited out a mouthful of blood, and I forcibly pressed it in.

The old man didn't go there well, and after being picked up by me, he also took five steps back, and still stabbed the ground with the bronze sword to stand firm, but with a "wow" sound in his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Hahaha, admire, there are few people on the rivers and lakes who can take my Wu this trick, today I Wu lost my heart, the skills are not as good as others, and I lost to such a junior, hum, cough..." The old man in black coughed before he finished speaking, it seems that this old guy was not lightly injured by my palm just now, and the group of people in black behind him surrounded him when they saw this, and the old man in black raised his hand to signal them to stop.

"This girl, can you tell the old man which trick you used just now, where you learned it, and who your master is. The old man asked.

I was secretly lucky enough to calm the churn in my heart, trying not to let the old fellow see that I was hurt.

"Hehe, I learned it from there, it's inconvenient for me to tell you, but I can tell you my name, this girl's name is Xiao Qin, if you think you haven't played enough, just come up, this girl will accompany you to the end. "My tone is very simple, I am not afraid of anything at the moment, anyway, I am alone, I have no relatives here, I have no reason to worry about here, and I am not afraid that they will retaliate against my family or friends when I say my name.

"Very good, old man, I remember, let's go. After saying that, the old man turned around and waved his hand, and he flew away into the night, and the group of men in black also flew out of the inn.

Seeing that this group of people walked away, I sat on the ground with a loose body and a buttocks, this battle is really mysterious, this Aoki swordsmanship is really powerful, but if there are two such old guys on the other side, it is estimated that I will only have to flee for my life.

Li Mu and the three of them hurriedly walked up.

"Miss Xiao, are you okay?" Li Mu asked nervously when he saw me sitting on the ground with a displeased expression.

"Oh, it's just a little bit of a injury, it's fine, just sit and rest for a while. ”

"Thank you Miss Xiao for saving your life, I, Li Mu, will definitely repay with my strength, and I am also very surprised by Miss Xiao's martial arts, I really didn't see that such a young and beautiful girl has such a high level of martial arts cultivation. ”

This Li Mu came to shoot the horses again, but he also had his reasons to be surprised, even I didn't know how powerful I could be after practicing this Aoki swordsmanship and mental technique.

"Master. The housekeeper, He Jian, walked up, as if he had something to say.

"What's the matter, let's talk about it, I believe this Miss Xiao. Li Mu said.

"Master, if the subordinates guessed correctly, the black-clothed old man who claimed to be Wu someone just now should be the great elder Wu Shaohui of Lianyun Castle, although this Wu Shaohui is only a great elder, but the swordsmanship cultivation is ranked first in Lianyun Castle, the owner of the castle is Wu Shaohui's younger brother, 20 years ago, the two brothers relied on this Lianyun swordsmanship to defeat many masters of the rivers and lakes, and since then they have created Lianyun Castle, this Lianyun Castle is in a mountain more than 100 miles away from Yingtian, and the power is very great, this Wu Shaohui and the former owner of the Sword Villa, Ouyang Guanfeng, and the owner of Xiaoyaomen, Xiaoyaozi, are the three major swordsmanship masters in the rivers and lakes today, I didn't expect this Xiao girl to be able to defeat this Wu Shaohui tonight, it seems that this river and lake is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. ”

He Jian said this lot of words in one breath, I understood what he meant, and I understood my current strength, I can actually fight with the three major swordsmanship masters on the rivers and lakes, the martial arts left by this old man Aoki is really powerful.

At this time, the owner of the Tianxiang Inn came over and commanded a few guys in the store to clean the inn, the two bodies of the black-clothed people lying on the ground were carried away, and the blood on the ground was also cleaned.

"He Jian, take five hundred taels of silver to the boss. Li Mu commanded.

After hearing this, He Jian took out a few silver tickets from his body and walked to the shopkeeper and handed them over.

"Ah, thank you, uncle. "The owner of this shop didn't expect this Li Mu to lose so much silver, his face smiled like a flower, and he hurriedly asked a few brothers and junior brothers to change a few good rooms for us. I didn't expect to get any compensation for the fighting on the rivers and lakes, and it was fortunate that the loss was less, so the grudges and killings on the rivers and lakes would not be taken care of, and I haven't seen any officers and soldiers come forward to pay attention to this matter until tonight.

I stood up and closed the Aoki sword, and I had to go back to my room to recuperate and repair the internal injuries I had just suffered.

"Brother Li, even if you repay me for helping me get 20 taels of silver today, but I heard the old man in black say just now that you are going to Yingtian, right?"

"It's just 20 taels of silver, but the three of us are really going to Yingtian, Miss Xiao, what's wrong. Li Mu asked.

"Oh, I'm also going to Yingtian, let's go together. ”
