Xie Zhe's breathing became a little faster. He turned back and glanced at Mu Yuejun, as if asking for help. Mutsuki-kun just shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand again, and made a gesture like "please". It seemed that he had no intention of rescuing him, and even wanted to get himself stabbed a few times. Xie Zhe glanced at the two friends next to him. They both frowned and looked worried. Yes, what is the difference between trying to fight against this impermanent ghost who has fought against "God" and committing suicide?
Moreover, his attitude didn't seem like his subordinates would show any restraint.
no solution anymore. Xie Zhe sighed softly, and the gauze scarf in front of him was slightly lifted by the breath. He calmed down and slowly took out the so-called magic weapon from his waist. In the gap at the edge of the scabbard, the weapons dealer made a part for sharpening the knife on one side, so that every time the knife is drawn, with a little force, it will appear sharper than when it is sheathed.
The light sword surface is bright and bright, like a mirror. He adjusted his center of gravity and tried his best to dig out the knowledge of swordsmanship in his head. He has practiced swordsmanship and has some slight talent, but he is still inferior to those professional swordsmen. In front of Kanna-kun, what he has mastered is probably just the "three-legged cat's kung fu". But instead of praying for Kanna-kun not to take it too seriously, it’s better to pray that you can perform better than usual.
Kanna-kun didn't leave him much time for mental construction. He raised the knife in front of him and leaned forward. The weight of the two knives pulled his arm back, but when he swung the knife, he used the force to draw a beautiful arc. Xie Zhe made basic predictions and faced the opponent's fierce attack the moment he raised his sword in front of him. This strike was so heavy that it made his forearms numb. An ordinary sword with the same weight would have been broken into three pieces at this moment. Moreover, Xie Zhe could feel that the black and white blades were struck at the same time, very accurately. Even though there was still a gap between the two sides of his sword and the opponent's, the judgment made by Shen Wujun was extremely accurate. Although it didn't have much effect on this attack, it was obviously a demonstration of some kind.
Shifting the center of gravity, leaning forward and taking a step back, using the force of the sword, all done in one go. The power of the two swords was diverted aside by Xie Zhe, and it took some effort to resolve it. But the opponent didn't give him any time to breathe, and attacked again at a speed that was too fast to see, this time from different angles from above and below. Still the same sentence - ordinary swords will definitely break, but Fengyun Zhan does not. Although it is very light, it is not brittle, and its toughness is ridiculously strong. Even Xie Zhe was a bit unexpected. It's a pity that no matter how good the sword is, it can't be used in Xie Zhe's hands at the moment. Shen Wujun presses forward step by step, and every move is a posture that will kill people. Xie Zhe retreated step by step, almost getting himself into the swamp several times. He had no chance to fight back and just kept passively defending. Even at this level, he was still sweating profusely at this moment. Rather than fatigue, it was more of a fear of survival instinct. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the two friends wanted to come forward and say something several times, but Mutsuki-kun politely stopped them. Where is this song coming from? If he wanted to use this to teach him how cruel the world is, he would have understood it clearly a long time ago.
"The response is too slow."
Xie Zhe was completely unable to keep up with Shen Wujun's movements. It should be said that this senior sword wielder was too serious. After an unknown number of rounds, Xie Zhe's aura was already messed up. He has exposed his fatal weakness, because this is tantamount to exposing every vein in his body to the enemy and telling him every flaw in it. But how could Kanna-kun be an enemy? He couldn't figure it out, let alone how things got to this point.
"Don't be distracted."
Another sharp blow. He barely blocked it, and the sword edge almost pierced his forehead. How did Kanna-kun become so calm that he still had the opportunity to criticize him? Is my swordsmanship limited to these life-saving tricks? Xie Zhe seriously doubted that these two people were sincerely trying to frustrate him. Speaking of which, why did they and Mutsuki-kun come here? But he couldn't think about it anymore, Kanna-kun wouldn't give him that time. His physical strength can no longer keep up, and he must concentrate more to make up for his lack of physical fitness.
But gradually, Xie Zhe vaguely discovered some patterns.
It's not so much that Kanna-kun is targeting him as his opponent...it's better to say that he's targeting this sword. Kanna-kun is serious. If he could, he would have completely disarmed himself a quarter of an hour ago, and even killed himself with three or two moves at the beginning of the fight. He could do it, and even Xie Zhe could resist a little. More people would have no chance of winning under such sword skills. The two of them could not use any spells in this swamp of the dead. This was a competition of pure strength and skills. I don't know what Shen Wujun's magic skills are, but Xie Zhe estimates that even if he tries his best, he is just delaying his death. But he didn't die - not until now, so even if Kanna Wujun's sword was so blind, his purpose was not to take Xie Zhe's life. Otherwise, with Xie Zhe's ability, he would not be able to accurately predict the point where Shen Wujun's knife will land every time. Until now, it was not Xie Zhe who was simply defending, but Shen Wujun who was constantly attacking the sword itself... not the holder of the sword.
In order to prove this, Xie Zhe made a bold decision.
In the gap between Kanna-kun's two attacks, he suddenly swung his sword to the outside. As expected of Kanna-kun who has been practicing in the Shura field for a long time, he turned the direction of the blade in an instant and struck the outer blade, as if he could only see the sword and not the person. His strength was not weakened at all, and Feng Yunzhan was easily knocked away by him. The moment the sword came out of his hand, Xie Zhe was surprised. He had indeed underestimated the power of the blow and failed to adjust his best response posture.
There was no more time for him to regret. Xie Zhe stared at the direction where the sword flew out, which was a swamp. Fengyun Slash is a weapon, and the weapon is naturally "gold". Not to mention the value of the sword, if this thing is accepted by the Dead Man's Swamp, I don't know what kind of changes it will cause. But at this moment, Fengyun Zhan did not fall after turning around for a few times. Instead, it turned an arc in the air and flew back towards him from a distance. Xie Zhe immediately raised his hand and used his excellent eyesight and hand speed to catch the hilt of the sword in the flying blade. The weapon returned to his hand, and when he turned his head again, Kanna-kun did not take advantage of this opportunity to pursue the victory.
He was observing them - observing Xie Zhe and Xie Zhe's knife.
Kanna-kun stopped.
The moment he put the knife behind his back, Xie Zhe completely gave up control of his breath. Through the gauze, he gasped for air in the miasma of the Swamp of the Dead. The faint medicinal fragrance on the cloth became rich at this moment, filling the nose, and the bitterness revealed relief. Ling Huan stepped forward and rushed forward to help him. Kanna-kun stopped paying attention to them and looked at Mutsuki-kun.
"As you can see," the latter said calmly, "This is Fengyun Zhan's choice. Or... Fusong Fengdai's choice. Just like you, this sword resonates with him."
"It's different." Shen Wujun immediately retorted, "It's impossible to temper his blood in Fengyun Zhan, and it was impossible in the previous life."
"Of course I know. I'm just saying that this is the decision made by Duan Chenhuan in Shan Hai's hand, and there is no mistake. It doesn't matter where the other swords are, only the whereabouts of Fengyun Zhan is important."
"This kid is too weak."
"His power is just hidden, you can't see it."
Xie Zhe didn't have the energy to listen to their confrontation, and he didn't think Shen Wujun was wrong. Han Chang frowned, feeling that these words were too harsh for him. Ye Lingyu was the most unconvinced among them:
"What on earth do you want him to do? A Zhe is not a swordsman, how can he know so much? Besides, everyone has things they are good at and things they are not good at, so why do you insist on focusing on this? He is better than me in many places. Ordinary people are better off, and they are already doing very well, so why do we have to force others to do something difficult?"
"It's better in many places, but not good enough in many places."
Kanna-kun glanced at her and was wondering where this girl came from. But suddenly, his terrifying black and white eyes were locked on Ye Lingyu, which made her feel a little weak.
"What, what? I didn't scold you, why are you staring at me..."
"What are you carrying in your clothes?"
Ye Lingquan didn't know how he saw it, but he was a little surprised that he found the xun he had hidden on his body. Before she could speak, Mutsuki-kun answered for her:
"You know very well that it is a magic weapon left behind hundreds of years ago."
"On her?" Kanna-kun's expression was a little complicated.
"No matter who it is, it is absolutely normal. Things that are lost in the world are something that everyone can get. Okay, please don't get hung up on these magic weapons anymore. Now you can clear the way. Shall we bid farewell to General Mu?"
At this time, Kanna-kun's face showed a little helplessness. Although he still had that serious look on his face, his tone was a little gentler than before.
"As you said, I am admittedly not standing here for that simple reason. In fact, it is General Mu's own intention to stay here. I have no reason not to help my old friend's father."
Mutsuki-kun didn't speak, but the other three were all surprised to varying degrees. how could be? According to the story told by Mutsuki-kun, shouldn't it be his dream to get rid of the seal and leave the confinement of this place of death and life?
"Although he is sealed here, his will can still travel across the vast continent and command the Yin soldiers to conquer everywhere. What's more, the Six Paths of Impermanence often pass through here, bringing with them all kinds of news. He must have heard about it. He knew that after he left here, the founders of this huge barrier, Death Shadow Pavilion, would not let this place go to waste. Who is the owner of Death Shadow Pavilion? Yu Yumingxu. Where does she stand? Hongxuan Changye. Don’t you know what kind of person Changye is? Don’t you know what he has been doing? Don’t you know whether he is worthy of the title of Lord of the Moon?"
Mutsuki-kun put away his gentle smile and became rarely serious.
"...Whether he is worthy or not, after all, it is not up to us to decide, it is up to the Lord to decide. Indeed, the recent news about the Ten Evil Apostles seems to have something to do with him. Since the Lord doesn't think it is a problem, then it is not a problem. Question; since the gentleman has not asked, there is no need for us to ask; since the gentleman does not intend to say anything, there is no need for us to speculate."
"Are you saying this to question my position and my loyalty?"
"I didn't mean that. But... you and I know very well how Fu Songfengdai feels about Hongxuanqingnu. Since he was the one who gave the guidance and let this child take this path, he must have his reasons. At least. , his opinions on the current Lord Kotsutsuki are no less than yours, he even has more say."
"It's just a sword spirit, does it really count as his intention?"
"Flowers bloom by themselves, water flows by itself; cranes also lose their way, doing nothing but doing everything."
None of the three people understood the meaning of Mutsuki-kun's words. They only knew that Kanna-kun left silently after a moment of contemplation without leaving a single word.
