Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Lingzhou Chapter 146 Smoke and Rain Qionglou (3)
After the beautiful woman pressed the seven strings on the guqin with her left hand, the strings that were still a little loose collapsed in an instant, so when her right hand swept over the dead strings, it was undoubtedly very difficult to make the guqin emit the atmospheric and melodious sound of the past.
"Zheng!"
In the end, under the strong plucking of the strings of the beautiful woman, there was still a sound on the guqin after all, but this sound sounded like it could not be beaten with the beauty of the music, but it was particularly solemn, like the sound of a sword rubbing on the stone.
The sound of the piano resounded in the bamboo house.
Then, there was a fierce sword qi, which suddenly burst out on the strings, and slammed directly into the water sword that Xu Yan burst from.
Boom!
After the two sword qi collided, without any accidents, they burst and exploded in mid-air.
In the next moment, the water sword formed by Xu Yan's collection of thousands of water droplets was overwhelmed like a silver bead in the sky, splashing and scattering from the air, and there was no sword intent at all.
Xu Yan, who was still outside the bamboo house, wearing a bamboo hat and galloping through the rain, saw this scene, and his face was not shocked, but he didn't expect that at the junction of these two towns, where birds don't, there was such a strong sword cultivation master hidden, and the most important thing was that looking at the other party's dress and her face, Xu Yan could roughly guess that she should be a local from Qiulu Township.
After the two confronted each other in a moment, and after an equal match, the beautiful woman in the bamboo house couldn't help but say to Xu Yan again: "You have such a ruthless heart in the future, but you don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all. ”
When Xu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly in his heart, secretly thinking how thick-skinned the other party had to be to say such a thing?
In the end, he chose to ignore it, and wanted to raise his feet and walk towards the bamboo house in front of him again.
The beautiful woman in the bamboo house didn't say much when she saw him, but her murderous intent was still there, and her beautiful eyes were already as cold as a knife, she knew that since she had promised that person to come here to intercept and kill in advance, and she really met the two people in front of her when it was almost impossible to meet, then the result would not be good.
So, the beautiful woman no longer hesitated, and her right hand swept the strings hard again.
The sword qi is like a dragon rolling on a rock wall.
Inexplicably, a gust of wind howled.
In the bamboo house, after the woman swept the strings, the few items placed in the room were all blown and rolled to the corners of the room, only the roller blinds hanging in front of the window behind the woman were still in place, although the frequency of its dancing at the moment was undoubtedly the most violent among all the objects in the house, but it was like a woman's skirt fluttering in the wind, adding a rare beauty to the solemn atmosphere of the room.
As soon as the sword came out, the slender hand of the beautiful woman did not pause at all, and directly withdrew it from the strings, and then swept it out again in the direction of Xu Yan.
The woman strummed the strings seven times in a row.
In total, it only took a short breath.
Sweep only one string at a time.
But then, on top of the guqin, there were seven sword qi vertical and horizontal, bursting towards Xu Yan outside the bamboo house one after another.
When Xu Yan saw this scene, his face hidden under the bamboo hat finally had a trace of seriousness. There is no doubt that compared to her who made a sword with her bare hands, the latter, with the help of this guqin, the sword intent and strength on her body have more than doubled.
Don't dare to be careless and lucky, when the first sword qi bombarded him, Xu Yan directly stopped his footsteps, and then saw him, his left foot suddenly raised and stepped on the ground covered with bamboo leaves, and the whole person swept backwards, but he just swept out a distance of nearly a zhang or so, and stepped on a green bamboo, and then he was as light as a swallow, and his footsteps were continuously tapped on the bamboo pole, so with the help of this tough green bamboo, he stepped on the sky above the bamboo forest.
"Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng ......"
Dozens of sounds of bursting bamboo knots sounded densely from this bamboo forest.
Immediately afterwards, a large area of green bamboo fell down, making the sound of salsa in the entire bamboo forest.
Seeing that the seven sword qi he used were all dodged by the other party with such a light posture, but he cut a large piece of bamboo in vain, the beautiful woman sitting in the bamboo house, her face couldn't help but turn blue, and she immediately scolded angrily, "What a cunning offspring!"
But before she could make too many follow-up movements, she felt an inexplicable danger looming down above her roof like this rainstorm.
Not daring to hesitate, the beautiful woman immediately got up and hugged the guqin on the table with one hand, and then her figure exploded, but she did not rush towards the main entrance, but quickly swept towards the window behind her, and finally jumped out of the bamboo house under a roll.
"Boom!"
Just as the stunning woman rolled into the rain curtain in embarrassment, there was a loud sound, resounding throughout the dense bamboo forest.
It was like thunder on the ground.
Then the woman with a stunning face but who was already rolling in the bamboo forest at this moment, and the wet woman saw that the entire brand-new bamboo house that had just been established was blown to the ground with a palm by the figure of the person who jumped down in mid-air.
"Bang"!
Wait until the bamboo house is completely razed to the ground.
Xu Yan's figure landed directly on the ruins of the bamboo house, and then he looked coldly at the stunning woman not far away, who had a guqin in her arms and was already like a chicken in the soup.
Xu Yan took the initiative to speak expressionlessly: "I didn't expect your perception of danger to be so keen. ”
The stunning woman no longer regarded the other party as a young man who matched her face at the moment, to put it bluntly, she no longer had the slightest contempt, she replied indifferently: "This sentence came out of your mouth, but it didn't make people feel any discomfort at all, it can be seen that you are a very precocious person, but do you think that if you can hide from my seven swords, you can avoid all my remaining sword qi?"
As soon as the words fell.
Xu Yan saw the woman not far from him, raised her left foot and stepped on the bamboo next to her, and then she put one end of the guqin in her arms in front of her legs, and hugged the tail end with her left hand, and the remaining right hand was four fingers together except for the thumb, and once again swept quickly from the strings.
The guqin was humming.
The timbre was a little quaint and verbose, and if it weren't for the fact that the sound of the rain quickly overshadowed the sound of the piano, this woman would have been able to play the piano well.
However, Xu Yan didn't have any mind to immerse himself in the other party's piano skills, nor was he interested, but his eyes were deep, and when the other party's piano sound just sounded, his figure quickly shot out and quickly forced towards the other party.
For any sword cultivator, hand-to-hand combat is the most unacceptable way for them to fight, if it is a sword cultivator against a sword cultivator, and they can still rely on the sword technique to fight, but if they are facing a martial cultivator of the same level, then choosing close combat is undoubtedly equivalent to asking for a death.
Therefore, as a woman holding the qin who cultivated the sword, when she saw Xu Yan's treacherous way of killing her, she couldn't help but change her face slightly, and she could only forcibly use her right hand to sweep the strings again.
As a result, there was the sound of the guqin one after another, subdued and frustrated, wrapped in the fierce sword qi, floating in this green bamboo forest, and then towards Xu Yan, who was approaching this side, volleyed away.
Xu Yan watched the other party use these monstrous sword qi that stretched like a wave, and finally a trace of anger rose. Although it was difficult for this level of sword qi to pose a fatal threat to him, it had been blocking the distance between him and the woman like this, making him unable to get close to the other party, which also made him feel a little impatient.
A golden fist shadow suddenly lit up in the bamboo forest near twilight.
Xu Yan bluntly smashed the several sword qi that the other party burst towards him with a punch, so that he didn't stop at all, and immediately controlled the martial arts true qi in his body, forming an armor to protect his body, and began to rush forward.
The woman on the other side couldn't help but be shocked when she saw him like this, obviously sensing his intentions, so she could only speed up the frequency and speed of playing the piano in her hand again.
"I've been playing with you for so long, and it's time to end it. ”
Xu Yan saw that the other party still wanted to use this method to involve him, and he couldn't help but snort coldly. He controlled the martial arts true qi to gather in his hand, and pushed it flat towards the Fuqin woman who was only a dozen zhang away from him.
When the woman heard this, she wanted to reply to him with a big word, but when she saw that there was a golden palm print, which not only broke through her hundreds of sword qi, but also smashed into herself, she finally felt the huge terror carried by the other party's palm.
As a last resort, to be honest, Xu Yan didn't want to expose his mountain-destroying palm so early, but when he faced the opponent's endless sword qi, he had no other way to get close to her than to do so.
After a loud bang, the golden palm print finally landed on the spot where the woman had been standing.
Countless green bamboos were shattered.
But the result was still the woman holding the piano at the last moment to roll away from the spot and avoid this palm.
The beautiful woman rolled up from the ground with palpitations, ignoring the dirt and bamboo leaves that had been stained on her body, and went directly to the slope of the bamboo forest, trying to reopen the distance between her and Xu Yan.
But the moment she got up, a slender figure rushed out from her side and punched her in the chest.
"Still want to run?"
With this cold tone, the huge fist was already in the air.
When the woman fuqin heard this, she was shocked, and instinctively blocked the guqin in her arms in front of her.
Bang bang!
After Xu Yanjie slammed a solid punch on her guqin, the huge force blasted her small figure upside down, until her back broke dozens of green bamboos in a row, and then fell to the ground.
"Poof!"
After the beautiful woman fell miserably, she just wanted to get up, and she couldn't help but feel a sweetness in her throat, and spit out a mouthful of scarlet blood.
I have to say that even if Xu Yan's fist was separated by the guqin in her chest, the huge power still made her suffer serious internal injuries in an instant.
However, before she had too much respite, followed by in the bamboo forest, Xu Yan's figure was approaching quickly, and the distance of more than ten zhang was approaching in the blink of an eye.
There is no doubt that Xu Yan is planning to take advantage of her illness and kill her, and he will never have the slightest mercy on the people who came to intercept and kill him halfway this time.
When the beautiful woman saw this scene, a trace of resentment flashed in her beautiful eyes, she didn't care about the severe pain in her chest, she immediately sat up from the ground, and then picked up the guqin that fell on her side, and then erected one end of the guqin directly and planted it on the ground.
"You forced me!"
The woman looked at Xu Yan, who was constantly pressing towards her, and squeezed out such a cold sentence from between her teeth.
Immediately after, she pressed the upper end of the guqin with her left hand, and reached out with her right hand to hook the most edge of the guqin.
The guqin has seven lines, namely Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu, Wen, and Wu, so the strings that the woman hooked with her jade fingers at the moment are the palace strings.
"Buzz!"
A piano sounded suddenly.
I saw that on the slender jade finger of the stunning woman, a blood flower exploded in an instant.
At the same time, the palace string on her guqin was directly broken into two.
However, although the palace strings were broken, on top of the guqin, there was a sword qi that was more fierce than any previous sword qi, and it burst out from the guqin.
A sword shocking storm!
Every time the sword qi bursts out, its momentum will skyrocket by another point.
The stunning woman looked at her sword qi used by the broken thread, and stabbed straight at the scholar opposite, her face was like frost, extremely cold, but in her heart it was really heartache, because this guqin was a sacred relic handed down from the ancestors of their She clan, and it was no different from those famous swords inherited in the Sword Sect, and every time a string was broken, it was definitely an incalculable loss.
However, today, when she encounters such a hard stubble as Xu Yan, as the patriarch of the generation of Jixiang, she has reached the point where she has to do it, if she feels sorry for this dead thing, whether she can survive or not has to say another matter.
Xu Yan, who was running wildly, felt that the other party suddenly used such a powerful sword that he could not avoid, and his deep eyes couldn't help but tighten. He didn't dare to be careless, even if he controlled the martial arts true qi in his body, all of them gathered together and formed a light shield in front of him.
"Bell!"
A piercing sound sounded from in front of Xu Yan.
Then, the opponent's incomparably strong sword aura stirred up the dazzling golden light in his light shield.
Xu Yan's whole person was directly slid out by the opponent by the other party, but in the end, he still successfully resisted the opponent's sword qi.
Shaking his aching arms, Xu Yan's face couldn't help but become more gloomy.
By this moment of the battle, he had completely figured out the opponent's cultivation, which was located at the peak of the five-story building, if it was under normal circumstances, it would not be too difficult for him to defeat such a sword cultivator, but the opponent's guqin, but her combat power had increased by a little bit?
Xu Yan's face was as calm as the sea, and he walked slowly towards the woman in the distance step by step.
The stunning woman who was half-kneeling in the rain, seeing that her sword was still easily taken by the other party, smiled bitterly in her heart, the other party was a fellow practitioner of sword martial arts, she had already heard about it from that person's mouth, but what she didn't expect was that the scholar in front of her, who looked so young, would have a perverted strength to this extent.
The stunning woman took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, she had no choice but to tremble the right hand that kept spilling blood, and continued to press on the strings, but this time, she pressed three of the strings at the same time, Shang, Jiao, and Zheng.
Zheng Zheng Zheng!
Three humming sounds vaguely sounded from the guqin.
But before this stunning woman could concentrate on staring at the three bursts of sword qi that burst out of her, a stinging pain rose inexplicably in her chest.
She clutched her chest tightly and suddenly retched.
A mouthful of black blood was spit out of her mouth, just like the shopkeeper who opened a tea stall at the entrance of Qiulu Village, her blood also emitted a burst of green smoke after touching the rainwater, however, spitting out this mouthful of blood was not surprising for this woman, because what made her even more shocked was that she also spit out a Gu worm that had been kept in captivity by herself for more than ten years.
"This ...... How is this possible?"
The stunning woman's face was pale, she saw that the Gu worm on the ground had completely stiffened, she couldn't believe it, you know, the Gu worm in Ji Township was originally a twin Gu, and it had to be planted on different people, although the one in her stomach was a female worm, but as long as its paired Gu worm male worm did not die, then her female worm would not have an accident, therefore, the female worm in her stomach suddenly died violently, and there were only two reasons: one was that the male worm she kept in captivity on another person died, and the other was that the person she kept in captivity died.
But what is the reason now?
The stunning woman didn't know at all, but this reason didn't matter to her at all, because the twin Gu that she had kept in captivity for more than ten years and was about to become a full-fledged Gu was dead, which also meant that her hopes of sprinting to the sixth floor were dashed.
The stunning woman couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood, but the blood was no longer as black as ink, after all, it was just a mouthful of backlash she suffered after forcibly breaking the three strings on the guqin.
"No, I have to retreat quickly, this person is so violent, these three sword qi may not be able to kill him completely. The stunning woman muttered to herself, and stood up, but before leaving, she took the thumb and forefinger of her right hand into her mouth, and whistled.
After a soft sound.
Around this stunning woman, there was a sound of rustling constantly coming from the ground, and then I saw that under these bamboo leaves, there were countless dense and innumerable small insects crawling out of them, and they continued to crawl frantically towards Xu Yan in the distance, and Gu Xueqing, who was still standing in place.
The stunning woman bent down to grab a worm from the ground, and then fed the dead female on the ground to it and swallowed it, and in no time, this special treatment insect grew a pair of agitated wings from her back.
"Give me a bite of her!"
After the stunning woman said this, the flying insect seemed to be able to understand human words, and flew directly towards Gu Xueqing, who was as sluggish as a puppet. And after doing all this, she refocused her eyes on Xu Yan in the distance, and said coldly: "I want to see if you dare to chase her all the way to the village in order to save her." ”
