Following this hand that appeared out of thin air, a figure gradually appeared on the ground not far in front of Gu Xiao. He was dressed in black and a hood covered his entire face, leaving only his eyes exposed. , but at this time, he was holding his wrist and rolling around in pain.
Seeing that the hidden person had been uncovered, Gu Xiao felt relieved. Just when he was about to step forward to check the person's face, he heard a slight noise coming from the main room of the small courtyard.
Alertness flashed in his eyes, and Gu Xiao realized that all the doors and windows in the inner courtyard had become rotten due to years of neglect, except for the doors and windows of the main room. Although they were also in dilapidated condition, they were still intact. Being able to block the room, Gu Xiao already noticed something was wrong.
The person on the ground may have fainted due to the pain of his broken hand. Gu Xiao stopped paying attention to this person and looked at the main room. Just as he passed this person, the masked person died due to fainting. His closed eyes suddenly opened, and he launched a sneak attack at Gu Xiao, who had his back turned to him.
Gu Xiao didn't expect that the man whose hand was cut off could hold back the pain and pretend to faint, and he didn't expect that he could sneak attack on him. Fortunately, the man lost too much blood and became dizzy. He pulled out the weapon from behind with his left hand. There was a slight noise.
It was this slight sound that made Gu Xiao, who had no longer paid attention to this man, become alert. The moment his weapon was about to stab him, he turned slightly to one side and the weapon passed by him. He turned around and drew his sword. His hand was already broken. It came out of his body and took his life.
He leaned over and pulled off the man's mask. What caught Gu Xiao's eyes was an ordinary face, no different from that of an ordinary warrior. The only difference was the assassin's hair accessory. From his forehead to the top of his head, there was no grass. , and the hair on both sides is combed back until the hairless part of the head is braided into a small bun, lying on the bare head.
Gu Xiao did not delve into these weird hair accessories. He only thought about his purpose of concealing himself and blocking him.
"He did not hesitate to fake his own death and risked his life to stop me. It seems that the strange place is in this small courtyard room." Gu Xiao looked back at the room. The door was closed at the moment. Gu Xiao made up his mind and stopped caring. The body of the man next to him turned around and was about to enter the room, but the moment he stood up, he suddenly felt a sense of dizziness coming over him.
Gu Xiao secretly screamed: "No, that man actually covered his clothes with poison."
Looking down, he saw that the palm of his right hand was completely black. He quickly rolled up his sleeves and saw that the black color was climbing up his wrist towards his chest. Gu Xiao was shocked and quickly sat down cross-legged, using his internal energy to protect his heart. , while still thinking about how to force out the poison, a faint figure appeared again on the screen wall entering the small courtyard from behind.
At the same time, a nearly transparent figure also appeared in front of the door behind Gu Xiao. The two looming figures, one behind the other, slowly approached the young man who was trying to detoxify.
Gu Xiao didn't notice at all that there were two hidden assassins approaching him. At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged, frowning and closing his eyes. He quickly stretched out his fingers and pointed at the acupuncture points on his chest to stop the spread of the poison.
Two figures slowly approached the young man who was doing his exercises with his eyes closed. Seeing that the young man kept crossing his legs and doing his exercises to resist the attack of the poison, the fierceness in their eyes was clear... In just a moment, the two of them moved forward and backward. During the flanking attack, he appeared and took action at the same time, stabbing the young man's back and throat with two sharp blades.
Seeing that the young man was about to be pierced through the heart by the sharp blades in the hands of these two men, the young man suddenly opened his eyes. Not only did his eyes not show any panic, but they actually shone with a look of calculation.
The two assassins saw panic in their eyes when they saw this, but the matter had come to an end and they could not retreat, so they stabbed down with two sharp blades.
The two people passed each other, but did not see the boy. He looked around hurriedly, but saw that the boy had fallen from the sky, and rushed towards one of them with both palms out.
However, although the assassin was shocked that the young man was not trapped by the poison, he returned to normal in just a short moment. When he saw the young man attacking, he did not panic. Instead, he held the handle of the sharp blade tightly with both hands and raised it above his head, waiting for the young man to attack. When he reached it, he slashed down suddenly. Although this move was normal, it carried a rapid sound of breaking through the air, as if it was going to split the enemy in front of him into two.
Gu Xiao was also frightened by the opponent's seemingly ordinary but powerful sword. He did not dare to take it head-on. He dodged sideways, but before he could reach it, another person behind him took the opportunity to attack and came quickly. He also held the sword with both hands and raised his shoulders. With his hand, the sword in his hand was leveled and he stabbed fiercely, rushing towards the dodging young man.
Gu Xiao did not detoxify, but used his internal power to forcibly suppress the poison in his arm. After he was poisoned, when he wanted to use his energy to exorcise the poison, he noticed the presence of two more auras in the small courtyard.
So he followed his plan and suppressed the poison entering his body first, and waited for the two assassins to show up. He originally planned to capture one of them by surprise and force him to hand over the antidote, but he didn't expect that the martial arts of these two men were much higher than before. That person.
At this moment, the poisoned arm was sore and numb. When he saw another person stabbing with a blade, he ignored the poison in his body and had to resort to Zangyue to resist.
I don't know whether it was the poison or the strength of this man's stab. Gu Xiao only saw the opponent's weapon and the Moon-breaking sword intersecting, sparks flying, and he was forced back a few steps by this move, and he had not yet regained his balance. , the people who had previously forced him back have come to attack him.
With his eyes focused, Gu Xiao unleashed his inner strength and struck out in front of him. Yun Zong stepped out to avoid the attack of the person who was flanking him. At the same time, he stepped on the man's knife-wielding arm and used the force to jump over ten feet. , until he stood in front of the screen wall in the courtyard.
After getting a chance to breathe, Gu Xiao looked at the two assassins not far away, trying to find a way to defeat the enemy from the two men's sword-holding and martial arts steps.
The two men are not tall, and can even be described as short. In contrast, the weapons in their hands are very long. The weapons of both of them are the same. Their shapes are weird, like swords but not swords, like knives but not knives. They have long handles and curved edges, like It is similar to the reverse blade in Yu Wentuo's hand, but it is different from the straight blade of the reverse blade. The blade has a single edge and curves inward, like a crescent moon. The blade is not like Qi Yun's sword and has no decoration. It looks more like It's like a roulette wheel.
Both of them held the sword with both hands and raised their shoulders and elbows. It was completely different from the sword techniques he had seen. Gu Xiao could not think of a way to defeat the enemy for a while, so he had to be on guard for the time being. On the other hand, although the two assassins were wearing masks, only their eyes were exposed, and their expressions could not be seen clearly. It can be seen that the two assassins held the sword sideways, holding the sword sideways, and only slowly tested forward with their front feet. It can be seen that Shicai Gu Xiao Wuyi has made the two of them extremely afraid.
Three people, two knives and one sword, just faced off quietly in this small courtyard. Gu Xiao did not dare to move because of the unknown poison in his body, but the other two people did not dare to move because of the unknown poison in front of them. The young man appeared in martial arts realm and did not dare to attack rashly.
The winter wind passed by, bringing coldness, but it could not blow away the killing intent that was gradually rising in this small courtyard.
Gu Xiao only felt that the soreness and numbness in his right arm had gradually turned into an itchy feeling. He was wary of the front and looked slightly sideways at his exposed palm. At this time, the entire palm had turned black and purple.
Frowning in thought, Gu Xiao didn't know what kind of poison was in his body, but he had just used his skills to fight with these two people. He was afraid that the poison would become deeper, and he regretted that he shouldn't have been curious and went to check the assassin's body.
But the most important thing right now is how to defeat the two masters who are gradually approaching him. Gu Xiao's mind is spinning rapidly...
"Good work, Mr. Mu. If the castle master knows that you are trespassing... it will be detrimental to you."
When Gu Xiao was still thinking about how to defeat the enemy, he unexpectedly heard the sound of clapping hands in the courtyard, and the door of the main room behind the two assassins suddenly opened, and a man in brocade clothes walked out. From this man As soon as he opened his mouth, he could tell that he recognized Gu Xiao who broke into the courtyard.
Gu Xiao raised his eyes and followed the sound, and saw this man's unfamiliar face, as if he had never seen it before, but when he saw his brocade clothes, he knew that he must have seen him on the He Family Arena, and these two masked assassins It has already given him a lot of headaches, and now that he is being worshiped by the He family, if he had not been poisoned, Gu Xiao would have been able to deal with it at his own expense. Now he has to fight one against three, which is probably going to be even more difficult.
But there was no way out now. Gu Xiao put his poisoned palm behind his back, pretending as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "I don't know how to call the worship... How can I talk about trespassing? I have nothing to do at night, and I am relaxing under the moon. , but accidentally stumbled into this place, it seems to be a misunderstanding.”
It was Tian Sanqi who opened the door and spoke. He followed He Kui's order to guard the secret room in the room. He was already worried. He was even more frightened when he heard the sound of someone breaking in and weapons clashing outside the courtyard, but he secretly watched in the room. .
It was discovered that the person who infiltrated was actually a kid named Mu Yi who participated in the He family arena a few days ago. Tian Sanqi had seen Mu Yi's skills on the viewing platform. He was worried that he would not be able to defend this place. He wanted to escape, but he saw Gu Xiao was forced to retreat by the two masters deployed by He Kui, and his mind was slightly settled.
Seeing the body of the killed master again, Tian Sanqi looked carefully, and under the faint moonlight, he saw the young man's dark purple palm at a glance. Tian Sanqi had practiced medicine in Jianghu and was proficient in medical skills. Naturally, he knew that the young man was a middle-aged man. After being exposed to the poison, my heart suddenly became enlightened. No wonder Mu Yi and He had completely different reactions in the arena. That's why.
Then he opened the door, and there were two masters, Lord He, by his side. If he captured this young man, he would have done a great job, and the reward from the Lord would be indispensable to him.
Listening to Mu Yi's still quibbling, Tian Sanqi showed his yellow teeth and smiled: "Young Master Mu is really sharp-tongued. You should wait until the castle lord returns to talk to the castle lord about what you said. Let me see. If you are like this, you must be seriously poisoned. If you are captured now, you can still save your life."
Tian Sanqi originally wanted to persuade Mu Yi to give up resistance and gain more credit for himself when asking for credit, but little did he know that these few words had already shown the young man a way to break the situation.
"You also know medical skills. It seems that the poison on my body was caused by you." The young master said to Tian Sanqi with a mocking tone.
A fool can't stand being ridiculed by others. Tian Sanqi put away his smile and said angrily: "How could such a little poison defeat me? I think back then, when I was practicing medicine..."
But before he finished speaking, he saw that Mu Yi had already moved, and the two masked assassins who had never spoken in front of the door let out a strange cry of "Yah" and moved...
The sword is not a sword, the sword is not a sword, the green edge of the moon is stepping on the sky,
The shadow is not a shadow, the move is not a move, the blue shirt at night takes the robber's nest.
People are also tools, tools are also people, and the combination of tools and people determines the universe...
In an instant, the shadow of the sword fell and the shadow of the sword disappeared. Tian Sanqi's eyes widened and he didn't know the outcome. He expected the young man to put the sword into the box gracefully and step towards him. The two masters left behind by Lord He , but stood in the distance, holding the knife in both hands, motionless...
Tian Sanqi saw the young man walking in front of him, and was about to call for help to the two people not far away, but saw their frozen figures slumped, and then instantly fell on their backs. Until they lost their voices, Tian Sanqi finally He saw the sword marks on the necks of the two men and the blood mist slowly falling in the night.
"You...you..." Tian Sanqi's legs and feet were already weak. Wasn't Muyi poisoned? How could he kill two masters in a matter of seconds?
Tian Sanqi was not wrong. Gu Xiao was indeed poisoned. When Tian Sanqi spoke just now, Gu Xiao could tell the depth of the inner strength of this brocade-clothed offering. He made up his mind, and just now he did not dare to use all his strength. He was afraid that if the poisonous energy attacked his heart, not only would he not be able to complete the mission given by the Immortal in the Mist, but if, as he said, He Kui was driven by the remnant soul, he might also have to answer for it.
Hearing that the Jin Yi worshiper did not notice the poison on his body, he immediately understood why he could still wear Jin Yi despite his lack of martial arts. It seemed that he was good at medicine and poisons, and he immediately started to care about it.
When Tian Sanqi saw the young man knocking down two people with his sword, how could he dare to resist? Just when he was about to beg for mercy, the serious-faced young man stretched out his palm to grab his neck.
Some people died, but not completely...
