As the zhenqi entered his body, Gu Xiao felt nauseated. He quickly stopped and sat on the ground. He used his skills to suppress the zhenqi. As the green light of the Qingyi Jue flashed, this strange scarlet zhenqi was swept away. Press down gradually.
Gu Xiao folded his palms slightly, mobilized the zhenqi in his chest, and forced the scarlet zhenqi swimming in his body to the palms of his hands. With a low shout, Gu Xiao used his internal strength to push his palms out, and the scarlet zhenqi burst out from his palms. , directly in front of a tree trunk covered with snow.
In Gu Xiao's stunned eyes, the tree trunk was melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, a towering tree turned into a short stump, and the melted tree trunk turned into a pile of mud-like fluid. , exuding a disgusting smell of blood.
As the scarlet energy was forced out by Gu Xiao, the strange red light on the mandarin duck pendant in his arms disappeared and turned into the faint fluorescence before.
Just when Gu Xiao was thinking hard about why this Yuanyang Pendant was acting so strangely, the sound of a sharp weapon piercing the air sounded from behind. Although the sound was extremely light, Gu Xiao had already watched the battle between the two masters in the illusion today. I have realized that the Dengtang realm has reached its peak, and my ears have become much sharper.
Sensing the sound of a sharp weapon behind him, Gu Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged, used Step on the Snow Cloud to rise up like the wind, avoiding the sneak attack behind him.
Gu Xiao rose into the air and caught a glimpse of the sneak attack in mid-air. He was wearing a curtain hat and white clothes. He had an elegant figure and held a long sword, like a fairy in the snow.
Just now, the sword that sneaked up on Gu Xiao failed, and the man did not stop his attack. The man was seen carrying the long sword forward, and came to a tree, turned around, and relied on light kung fu to step on the tree trunk with both feet. Using the force to turn over, his figure flashed, and he swung his sword again. In an instant, Gu Xiao saw only a network of sword lights in front of him, but no sword shape.
Gu Xiao did not panic. Yun Zong used all his strength, stepped on each other and used strength. He rose up in the air again, avoided the sword net on his chest, and took advantage of the situation to slap a palm. The wind in the palm carried Gu Xiaodengtang's power and swept towards the center of the sword net.
The sword net intersected with the palm wind, bursting out with bursts of roar. Gu Xiao was instantly shaken several feet away by the force of the sword palm's counter-shock. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the snow-covered trees behind him. Shanglian took three or five steps, stopped, stood on a branch, and looked at the person who was sneaking up on him.
The man also retreated several feet in response to this move. Unlike Gu Xiao, when he was retreating, the man swung the long sword behind him. With the force of the sword's reverse direction, he stabilized his body. He looked up at Gu Xiao on the tree trunk in the distance.
Before Gu Xiao could speak, the man wearing a curtain hat opened his mouth to angrily scold Gu Xiao.
"Where is he?" The man's voice was slightly filled with anger, like the cold wind entering the bones, and the snow wrapped in the nectar, making it even colder in this winter snow solar term.
Gu Xiao couldn't help but be surprised. The one who attacked him was obviously a woman. He looked carefully at the woman. She was dressed in white and wore a curtain hat with a veil covering her face. Her face could not be seen clearly. However, she held a sword in her slender hands, which looked like a silhouette against the white snow. Like white jade, her long black hair was tied up from the curtain hat, making her look full of heroism. Perhaps she was shocked by the power of Gu Xiao's palm just now, and her tall chest undulated slightly.
Being scolded angrily by this woman, Gu Xiao was a little confused and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Seeing that Gu Xiao didn't say a word, the woman said that the thief had a guilty conscience. She immediately gave a soft drink, held a sword flower in her long sword, stood up from the ground with her feet, and jumped into the air. The sword flower in her hand aroused layers of sword energy. , heading towards Gu Xiao.
The sword energy was so powerful that Gu Xiao did not dare to fight it head-on, so he had to jump up to avoid its sharp edge and turned down in the air. The sword energy passed by Gu Xiao and hit the tree trunk that he had just stood up. When Gu Xiao When he landed and stood still, the tree trunk had been cut in half by the sword energy.
Gu Xiao did not expect that this woman's swordsmanship was so sharp. Seeing that the woman did not stop, Gu Xiao was afraid that the misunderstanding would become deeper and deeper, so he hurriedly spoke.
"Girl, please wait a moment."
When the woman saw that the young man in green shirt was agile and avoided the swordsmanship she had practiced for many years, she was unwilling to stop. She immediately flipped her jade hands again and came out with sword energy again, heading towards Gu Xiao.
Wherever the sword energy passes, it is covered with snow and frost.
Seeing that the woman still didn't listen to his explanation, Gu Xiao felt a little angry in his heart. He immediately slapped the sword box behind him with his palm. Duanyue sensed the master's need and came out through the box. The sword's light was like the moon, and its blade condensed with starlight.
He jumped up, grasped the hilt of the Broken Moon Sword, and held the sword to his chest. He moved with extreme calmness, flicking, tapping, lifting, and cutting, instantly neutralizing the incoming sword energy one by one.
Seeing this, the woman in the curtain hat jumped up with her sword in hand. The blade of the long sword in her hand was pointed directly at Gu Xiao's throat. The sword came very fast. It was originally several feet away, but the woman only breathed, and the sword force was already there.
In the eyes of the woman in the curtain hat, if she wanted to avoid her sword, she had to dodge it when she started to move. Since the young man didn't dodge at that time, he would naturally be hurt by him.
But the young man's reaction was beyond her expectation. She saw the young man tilting his head slightly, holding the sword upright, letting his sword pass through it. The two blades rubbed against each other, and sparks flew everywhere. The young man rubbed the blades against each other. He slowed down the speed of the woman's sword, turned his head to avoid it, slightly twisted the sword in his hand, grabbed the blade of the woman in the curtain hat, and used his backhand to strike directly at the woman's face.
The woman in the curtain hat was shocked and wanted to pull out the sword in her hand, but she didn't expect that the sword in her hand was tightly locked by the young man. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull it away. Seeing that the young man's palm was coming, she could only greet him with her palm.
When the two palms touched each other, Gu Xiao felt that the woman's palms were cold and slippery. He seemed to have touched a piece of jade that had been cold for thousands of years, and the chill penetrated into his bones. He immediately used the Tsing Yi Jue in his Dantian to force out the chill, and used the palm movement to press inwards. , swinging the woman's palm open, turning it into fingers, and heading towards the veil under the woman's hat.
The woman was obviously disturbed by Gu Xiao's move. She let go of the long sword in her hand and turned around, hastily avoiding it. However, Gu Xiao changed his move very quickly. Although the woman was not hurt by this move, the white veil under her hood was. When Gu Xiao's sword was taken off, the woman's chest filled with anger, but she had no weapon in her hand, so she could only stand guard against the young man.
As soon as Gu Xiao succeeded in the move, he immediately turned around and landed on the ground. He held Duan Yue's hand with a little force and threw the long sword on the sword grid into the ground. He turned back and put Duan Yue into the sword box, and then held it. With the long sword stuck in it, he pulled it out with a slight force and looked at it carefully.
When I first picked up this sword, I felt as cold as the palm of a young woman's hand. The blade was long and narrow and sharp, with cold light radiating from it. There was a faint divine light flowing on it. The sword grid and the hilt were made into one piece, as if it was chiseled out of thousands of years of black ice. It was extremely cold in his hand, but with the long sword in his hand, Gu Xiao felt an inexplicable true energy flowing in the sword. The sword was extremely light in his hand. No wonder the woman's sword was very fast, and there was a seal inscribed with bells and tripods at the root of the sword. A line of fine print.
"Jinghong's photo travels the world."
On the other side of the sword root are still two small characters engraved in Zhongdingwen, "Jinghong."
Gu Xiao murmured the sentence "Jinghong's shadow travels the world" on the sword. He suddenly remembered that the woman's veil was still in his hand, and saw the woman standing on guard in the distance. He picked up the long sword and the veil together and walked towards the woman. .
Seeing that the woman was still trying to meet her, Gu Xiaolian said: "You woman, why don't you listen to other people's advice? What grudge do I have against you? You have to force me again and again. I will take the long sword from your hand and The veil is really not a helpless move. If not, you won't give me a chance to explain."
With that said, he handed the face and sword back to the woman. As he got closer, Gu Xiao could vaguely see the woman's face through the tulle in front of her hat. Her eyebrows were as dark as a distant mountain, her eyes were like the waves of autumn water, her nose was turned up and her lips were thin, her face was like a peach blossom, and she was frowning at the moment. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and a pair of cold eyes were looking at him.
The woman saw that the boy did not mean any harm, but the scarlet light emitting from his body just now was indeed the same as the vision when her fellow disciple disappeared. The woman in white could not make up her mind for a moment.
Gu Xiao was a little embarrassed to be stared at like this. He remembered that Brother Tianya and Lin'er were still missing. He stopped entangled with the woman at the moment. He put the sword and veil into the woman's hands, took out the mandarin duck pendant from his arms, and checked it. .
But at this time, the Yuanyang Pendant no longer emitted fluorescent indicators, and no matter how much internal energy Gu Xiao injected into it, there was no reaction at all. Seeing this situation, Gu Xiao became anxious and suddenly thought of Wan Jun. Maybe he could mobilize the Lingzhou Protectorate to look for the person.
I made up my mind and set off as promised in Lingzhou. I wanted to rush to the agreed place. I was about ten feet away when I heard a cold voice coming from behind me.
"etc."
Gu Xiao looked back and saw the woman in the curtain hat chasing after him.
"Why, I don't have time to fight with you anymore. I rushed to save people." Gu Xiao thought that the woman was still fighting with him, so he immediately said.
"I have no intention of fighting." Seeing the boy's misunderstanding, the woman replied coldly, and then said again: "I wonder if any of your companions are also missing."
Upon hearing the woman's words, Gu Xiao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "Why, the girl knows the whereabouts of my friend." In desperation, Gu Xiao couldn't help but get closer to the woman.
But seeing the woman move back slightly, Gu Xiao realized that he was a little rude, so he pulled away a little and said: "Girl, don't blame me, my friend is missing, I am worried. If the girl knows the inside story, I hope you can tell me, I am very grateful."
At this time, the woman had already covered her veil again. When she saw the boy retreating, she continued to speak: "I misunderstood you just now because of the scarlet light emitted by your jade pendant."
Hearing this, Gu Xiao handed the mandarin duck pendant to the woman, and said at the same time: "I'm also surprised, this is a jade pendant given to me by a close friend. When I was looking for someone before, it always emitted some fluorescence, but today I use it When I was looking for someone, it showed a strange scarlet color. The scarlet light you see is from this jade pendant."
The woman in white took the jade pendant from Gu Xiao's hand and looked at it carefully. At this time, the mandarin duck pendant no longer fluoresced, and was just like an ordinary jade pendant. It also carried the warmth of Gu Xiao's palm. The woman looked at it for a long time and found no clues. She just felt that this The jade pendant warmed the cold palm of his hand a little.
The woman raised her head and saw a pair of starry eyes of the young man staring at her. Looking at the young man's face, the woman felt that her heartbeat seemed to be a little faster and her face felt a little warm.
How could this be the case, the woman thought to herself, she had been practicing the Cold Jade Art for many years, and her mind was as calm as water. On weekdays, her whole body was as cold as ten thousand years of black ice, but today her face felt a little warm.
Gu Xiao didn't know what the woman in white was thinking, and said that she had a clue, and asked, "Does the girl have a clue?"
Seeing the woman gently shaking her head, Gu Xiao felt a little frustrated. He took the mandarin duck pendant handed back by the woman in white and carefully put it away. Just as he was about to bid farewell to the woman, he heard the woman speak quietly.
"Have you ever heard of Murong Gu?"
