When he was on guard, a vague figure had broken through the night and came, still far away. When he saw this figure, Gu Xiao suddenly felt that the few internal energy left in his dantian was following the appearance of this person, and he was inexplicably restless. .
Gu Xiao had suffered internal injuries. Under this agitation, traces of bright red oozed from the corners of his mouth as he coughed. He didn't know what the visitor was asking for, so he had to hold on and tighten his nerves, not daring to slack off at all. He Kui's side.
Still wearing the familiar hat and strong shirt, he was casually carrying a wine bag that seemed to be able to forget the sorrows of the world. In a few breaths, he only borrowed strength once and arrived at the place where Gu Xiao and the remnant soul were fighting.
The bamboo hat was pressed down so that he couldn't see the man's face clearly. Gu Xiao could feel his sharp sword-like eyes passing over him. His heart and lungs seemed to be grasped hard, and it was much harder to breathe. This kind of oppression was already... The hair on Gu Xiao's body stood up, but there was no way out now, not to mention that He Kui at his feet still had half a clue about Murong Gu in his mind.
"Where is she?"
The man in the hat stared at the shining sword in the young man's hand not far away, and spoke coldly. . . It was just a few words, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting the young man's chest.
Gu Xiao was already overwhelmed by the man's internal strength. The moment the other man spoke, his calm tone seemed to be transmitted with the supreme sword intent, rushing through his body.
After being shocked and taking several steps back, Gu Xiao tried his best to suppress the internal injuries, but was instantly dispersed by the sword intent that entered his body. Blood mist spurted out, Gu Xiao stopped, and recognized the man in the hat as the mysterious man who killed He Zhidao, who was halfway through the master formation, with his sword in the Eight Formations of the Stone Gate. He also saw that the person who came was not good. . . .
Although he had seen this person's shocking energy-condensing transformation and monstrous sword intent in the Eight Formations of the Stone Gate, and even though he was now at the end of his strength, Gu Xiao's eyes were still firm.
"I really don't know what senior means." The young man spoke, neither humble nor arrogant.
Seeing the young man's posture, the man in a hat flashed a hint of appreciation in his eyes, but when his eyes moved to the Jinghong sword in the young man's hand, his eyes immediately turned cold again.
"I ask again, and this is the last time."
When the man in the hat spoke again, his left palm had slowly spread out. What suddenly appeared in his palm was the body of the remnant soul that had just escaped and disappeared. At this moment, it had long lost the vicious look it had when it occupied He Kui, and it had no incarnation. The cruel and ruthless manner in which people slaughtered animals is now like a demon that has never been able to escape from the palms of immortals and Buddhas, scurrying in panic in the palms of the hat-wearing guests.
Looking at the remnant soul in the palm of the bamboo hat man's hand, the shock in his heart made Gu Xiaojian frown, and he tried his best to restrain himself from showing surprise on his face.
Despite this, Gu Xiao's slightly contracted pupils were still caught instantly by the sharp eyes of the man in the hat. When he spoke again, the overwhelming sword intent had already spread out in all directions.
"Where is the girl in white?"
The sword intent surged forward. Under the pressure of the powerful sword intent, Gu Xiao was already kneeling on one knee, unable to get up. He could only rely on his hands to break the moon and Jinghong to barely avoid being pressed to the ground by the sword intent.
Hearing the man in the hat mention the woman in white, and having a sense of déjà vu, when he was fighting with the remnant soul, what stirred up the twelve and a half-fingered bronze swords in the iron lotus was not the monstrous sword intent that was now oppressing him. In this way, In the Eighth Stone Gate Formation, why did he take action, and why was he now asking himself about Jiang Ningxue's whereabouts? . . Gu Xiao suddenly understood everything.
Under the pressure of the sword intention, Gu Xiao slowly raised his head and was about to speak when suddenly something in his arms emitted inexplicable true energy and entered Gu Xiao's body. However, it was different from the oppression caused by the sword intention of the man in a hat. With this true energy entering his body, Gu Xiao felt that his Dantian was instantly filled with energy, and even the internal injuries caused by the battle with the remnant soul were instantly healed. . . Not only that, even the coercive feeling brought by the powerful sword intention of the man in the hat dissipated in an instant.
Gu Xiao stood up and looked into his arms. The familiar energy in his body came from the small wooden sword that was given by his master when he passed on the art. It had no edge but was extremely delicately carved.
The true energy emitted by this wooden sword seemed to be in invisible collision with the powerful sword intention of the man in the hat.
Taking a step back, the man in the bamboo hat finally raised his face that had been hidden in the bamboo hat. His eyes were full of surprise and at the same time full of fighting spirit.
"Interesting, interesting, Qi Yun is indeed a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Apart from Li Kurong, there are such masters."
As if attracted by the sword intent that suddenly burst out from the young man's arms, the man in the hat completely forgot about the purpose of his visit. He stepped forward lightly and took one step forward. The sword intent emanating from his body was already many times stronger than just now. . .
The wooden sword in Gu Xiao's arms seemed to have intelligence. He sensed that the chess piece had met his opponent, and it came straight out and hung in front of the young man. It also exuded frightening true energy.
The silent sword intention spreads through layers of ripples,
The wind in Jianjian is full of jade green, and the snow in the evening is still and quiet.
Dozens of invisible sword intents and silent confrontation filled the ten-foot-long area with killing intent. Seeing that the man in the hat was about to take action, the young man opened his mouth to break up the imminent fight.
"Senior Tang Jiu, wait a minute."
As the young man opened his mouth to call his name, the man in the hat was startled, and seemed to be awakened. He finally remembered the purpose of his trip, waved his sleeves, and dispersed the sword intention, and the wooden sword in front of Gu Xiao also followed the man in the hat. The sword intention dissipated and the opponent was lost. The sword intention returned to the wooden sword. As soon as it was turned, it was back in the young man's hand.
The man in the hat, who had given up his sword intention, was very confused and turned to the young man and said, "Do you recognize me?"
At this moment, Gu Xiao felt that most of the internal injuries in his chest and abdomen had healed, and his Dantian was full of energy. Only the penetrating skin trauma on his shoulder blades was still a little painful. Seeing the man in the bamboo hat speaking curiously, he confidently replied: "This junior not only knows Senior Tang Jiu. , and also know why senior is here."
Hearing the young man speak like this, the man in the hat looked at the young man with great interest, his eyes were cold and cold, and he said, "You should tell me."
"Senior Tang Jiu came here to protect Miss Jiang. Not only that, Senior also gave this thing to Miss Jiang." Gu Xiao said, already taking the iron lotus that had re-closed into a ball in his hand, and handed it to the guest in the bamboo hat. In front of you.
Seeing that what the young man handed over was his own thing, the cold eyes of the man in a bamboo hat immediately dissipated a little, and the admiration reappeared in his eyes, and he said: "Where is she."
Hearing this, Gu Xiao raised his hand and pointed at the body of the remnant soul that was tortured by two sword intents in the palm of the bamboo hat guest's hand and was unable to resist, and said: "When I arrived here, Miss Jiang had been injured by this remnant soul, and the junior had already been injured." There are many hidden secrets in sending someone to escort Miss Jiang down the mountain to heal her injuries..."
Now that he has said that, Gu Xiao will tell the man in the hat everything about what happened after the Eighth Formation of Shimen that day. . .
I heard the young man talk about the bizarre events that happened behind the Eight Formations of Shimen. Even though he had been in the world for many years and had a lot of knowledge, he was shocked to hear such deviant things. He didn't recover for a long time. But what the young man said was nothing. It's false, because the remnant soul is in my hands at the moment, so I can't help but not believe it.
"Is her life in danger?" The man in the hat asked the young man when he heard that Jiang Ningxue was injured.
Gu Xiao opened his mouth and said: "The injury is not serious, the rescue was timely, and there is no danger of life at the moment."
When the man in the hat heard this, his face lightened, and after a moment of thought, his cold eyes turned to the body of the residual soul in his hand. Just now outside Zangbei City, she sensed that the Tang Sword Lotus she left for Jiang Ningxue had bloomed. She knew that she was in crisis, so she used all her skills to come to save people, but she didn't expect to bump into the fleeing remnant soul here.
Seeing that this man's martial arts and light skills were much better than He Kui's, Canhun couldn't help but start thinking about seizing his body. He used evil methods to sneak attack on the man wearing a hat, but was frightened by his powerful sword intention and captured him on the spot.
Unexpectedly, my cultivation level of knowing the heaven, which is like a human warrior, could not be controlled easily by this man in a hat, and he captured me back to the place where I had escaped. . . Hearing the man in the bamboo hat asking about the woman in white, the body of the residual soul secretly thought that something was wrong. Before he could open his mouth to defend himself, and when he heard that the young man had told the man in the bamboo hat that he had hurt the woman, the body of the residual soul secretly complained.
The sword intent burst out from the palm of his hand. In the eyes of Remnant Soul, it was like a huge wave that could submerge him in just the blink of an eye. At this time, he didn't care about his past status and immediately begged loudly for mercy.
"Ah ah ah, please forgive me."
The hat-wearer doesn't care whether the thing he holds in his palm is a god or a demon. . . If he hurt her, he would pay with his life. The murderous intention was already in his eyes, the sword intention in his palm was even stronger, and his soul was gone in just a thought. . .
At this moment, the young man spoke again, stopping the man in a bamboo hat from strangulating the remaining soul.
"Senior Tang, wait a minute."
Hearing this, the man in the hat stopped the rising sword intent in his hand and asked doubtfully: "According to what you said, this remnant soul has committed many evil deeds. I want to eliminate the harm. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Gu Xiao said: "There is nothing wrong... If he falls into my hands, I will definitely kill him... It's just that I want to beg Senior to spare him for a while, and I still have something to ask... "
Before he finished speaking, the man in the hat interrupted the young man: "You are not related to me, why should I meddle in these nosy things? I just want to destroy it and make it Tang...Jiang Ningxue resolves her hatred, that's all... .”
Having said this, the man in the hat showed a hint of probing in his eyes, and continued: "Unless..."
Gu Xiao heard the implication, but there was still half a clue in Can Hun's heart, so he had to say: "Senior, please clarify."
Seeing that the young man understood people's hearts, the guest in a hat thought for a moment, looked into the young man's eyes and suddenly smiled, and then slowly said: "I said just now, you and I are not relatives, so I will naturally not help you. If you become If you kill my Tang Jiu's disciple...that's a different matter."
As soon as these words came out, not only Gu Xiao was stunned, but even the remaining soul in the palm of the bamboo hat guest was stunned.
"What, boy, please think about it, you are the only one who made me, Tang Jiu, think about accepting a disciple." The guest in the hat seemed to have forgotten that the young general had told him about Jiang Ningxue's injury, and spoke to the young man.
Gu Xiao couldn't laugh or cry at this moment, the remnant soul was in Tang Jiu's hands, but looking at his appearance, Gu Xiao was worried that once he declined, the remnant soul would be instantly destroyed by the sword intent in his hand. Murong Gu's method of entering the valley would then be , it can no longer be known.
"Senior Tang is the top master in the world. If this kid can become a disciple of Senior, it will be a blessing for three lifetimes..." Gu Xiao's mind was spinning rapidly, and he was thinking about how to politely refuse and let Tang Jiu stay while he spoke. That remnant soul is alive.
After hearing what the young man said, Tang Jiu replied that the young man had agreed. The corners of his lips curved up, he took out the wine bag, threw it to the young man, and interrupted: "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense, and respect me as a teacher." If you drink wine to worship me, it will be considered a ceremony. If you don't care about anything here, just follow me back south..."
"Senior." Gu Xiao saw Tang Jiu's excitement, but he couldn't afford to waste time at the moment. Not to mention Miss Jiang, Miss Feng, Jin Buyi's injuries, and the people from the Fuyuan Escort Bureau who were still waiting for him to rescue him. He had no choice but to interrupt him.
"Senior, I'm called Master. You're pretty good at this, but to learn my skills, you have to practice your skills first... By the way, where did your wooden sword come from? I'd like to know. Master of this wooden sword... forget it, wait until you get back... It's not too late to make plans." Tang Jiu was talking to himself, completely unaware of Gu Xiao's dilemma next to him.
Seeing the man in the hat talking so enthusiastically, Gu Xiao was very anxious. . . Then he thought that the only way was to stabilize him first and implement a temporary delaying strategy. Since he was a master at protecting Miss Jiang, as long as Miss Jiang woke up, it would not be too late to ask Miss Jiang to come forward and refuse. What's more, he just said that he wanted to accept the offer. When he was a disciple, there was clearly a bit of wariness and cunning in his eyes, which did not seem to be sincere. This old Jianghu still needs to be more cautious.
After making up his mind, Gu Xiao handed the wine bottle back to the guest and said: "Senior, these are not important things at the moment. Let's catch up with Miss Jiang first and heal their wounds..."
Before he finished speaking, the man in the hat slapped his head and said: "Oh, why have you forgotten such an important thing? It seems that you need to drink less wine... Yes, yes, yes, good disciple, you lead the way, Let’s save people first, and then talk about anything else.”
Seeing that his purpose of diverting the other party's attention had been achieved, Gu Xiao immediately turned to the remaining soul in Tang Jiu's hand.
Tang Jiu glanced around and knew the young man's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Good disciple, don't worry, its life will be kept for you as a master..."
Gu Xiao saw that there was clearly a hint of distrust in his smile, but Gu Xiao didn't care and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, senior."
"I'm talking about you kid, and I call you senior... Hey, forget it, I'm not used to changing my words suddenly, but I'll get used to it after a while..." After the man in the hat finished speaking, he saw his "good disciple" With sad eyes, he looked sideways at something wrapped in a green shirt behind him and spoke slowly.
"Brother Chen, let me take you home."
Some people died, but not completely...
