Facing the sword light that echoed the power of heaven and earth, Ye Sanniang did not hesitate at all. A fierce killing intent bloomed from her scimitar, so thick that it seemed like it could turn into water droplets and fall from the sky.
The murderous intention did not distinguish between friend and foe, but it trapped Zhao Rang in it, and he was so oppressed that he could hardly breathe. It wasn't until Zhao Rang put all his energy on the knife in his hand that he felt that this feeling of oppression was relieved a lot!
A long and shrill roar!
Ye Sanniang is out with her sword!
Zhao Rang saw that the scimitar in Ye Sanniang's hand was like a white rainbow piercing the sun. She pulled it up out of thin air and shone like a meteor. The sword's power was strange and fast. In the blink of an eye, the blade turned into afterimages. With Zhao Rang's eyesight, he couldn't even see how many swords Ye Sanniang had struck. I only saw a rebellious look between her eyebrows, and she was about to compete with the woman in red!
The sword energy was vertical and horizontal, tilting down like a waterfall of cold light, like a roc hovering above the nine heavens, striking the sky fiercely.
The blade and sword light intersected, and the sound was like a dragon's roar, sharp and dignified. The sound of breaking wind was accompanied by the cremation. Zhao Rang had no choice but to lean on the ground with a knife, and also used a Thousand Jin Falling technique to ensure that he would not be affected by this violently vibrating energy.
Suddenly, rocks pierced the air across the courtyard and collided with each other, sounding like a drumbeat. The figure of the woman in red is elegant, like clouds rolling and relaxing. After the long sword in his hand clashed with Ye Sanniang's blade once, he seemed to find that Ye Sanniang was not an easy person, so he changed his approach, hoping to win by surprise! The long sword in his hand uses various tricky and cruel methods to stab and pick.
Ye Sanniang used her strength to overwhelm Qi, and the strength of her sword skills was like a leaping dragon and a tiger, blocking all the sword moves of the woman in red.
The shadow of the sword and the light of the sword were entangled together, like a wonderful picture unfolding silently in front of Zhao Rang.
Immediately, the momentum of the two people rose, and the surrounding wind and sand rolled up, as if the entire world was involved.
Zhao Rang covered his eyes with his hands to block the wind and sand. Then he saw a flash of bright red swaying in the wind. He immediately drew his knife with his backhand and slashed at the woman in red.
The sword in her hand was held by Ye Sanniang's sword and she was unable to defend in time. She had to dodge and put some distance between herself and Zhao Rang.
"Didn't I tell you to run away? What are you still doing here?"
Ye Sanniang asked sharply.
In desperation, she no longer had the intention to joke.
Zhao Rang smiled lightly and replied:
"You can use the sword, why can't I use the sword?"
Ye Sanniang was speechless, but she moved forward to block Zhao Rang from behind.
The woman in red listened quietly to the exchange between the two, then laughed and said:
"Hahaha! Even if you have a pretty boy, you don't have to protect him like this, right? Besides, if he's like this, why don't you catch a lot of them?"
Ye Sanniang remained silent, but she was actually mobilizing the energy in her body to resolve the hidden injuries she had suffered during the fight between the two.
Although the martial arts cultivation of the woman in red has not yet reached the second level, it is not far behind. Even though they are both third-grade Grandmasters, they are still different.
In comparison, the woman in red is considered to be a Grand Master, while Ye Sanniang is still short of one-third!
The gap in cultivation cannot be bridged by clever methods.
From the current demeanor of the woman in red, it can be seen that the fight with Ye Sanniang just now has no impact on her at all, and she can still laugh and joke loudly.
On the other hand, Zhao Rang and Ye Sanniang were in a bit of a panic...especially Zhao Rang. Although he had just cut in the middle and forced the woman in red to retreat, this was based on Ye Sanniang's best efforts. Drag her hands to the base of the sword. Otherwise, not only would Zhao Rang's sword fail to achieve any merit, he might even be killed on the spot!
Ye Sanniang promised Zhao Rang that she would protect his life, so she was still trying to persuade Zhao Rang to leave first.
She has not made many promises to others in her life, because she has been deeply hurt by others' promises.
Seeing that her provocative words had no effect on Ye Sanniang, the woman in red couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
In terms of strength alone, she is certainly not afraid of anyone in Tongbao Bank. But before that, she never expected that Ye Sanniang's cultivation level would reach the third-grade Grand Master realm.
Zhao Rang knew something about this.
When he met Ye Sanniang face to face for the first time, he couldn't feel that she had any martial arts skills. If Zhao Rang hadn't done his homework in advance and knew the details of Ye Sanniang, he would have been deceived by her appearance of pear blossoms and rain!
From this point of view, Ye Sanniang must have practiced some special skills at that time, which could cover up her martial arts skills. In this way, it will not only help her conceal her identity when traveling around the world, but also make people who are hostile to her relax their vigilance. To put it bluntly, she will pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
The woman in red had calculated everything, but she had not considered the variable Ye Sanniang. So she has a headache now... If she really has to fight hard to deal with Ye Sanniang, she will also waste a lot of time and even get injured herself.
Although the remaining people in the semicolon are far inferior to her in cultivation, if they are injured, they will be in the offensive and defensive type, and no one can say what will happen. Therefore, the top priority of the woman in red is how to deal with Ye Sanniang without hurting her muscles and bones, and then slowly deal with Zhao Rang and the others.
"You are also a martial arts grandmaster who has reached the third level. You should know that cultivation is not easy! As long as you leave now, I, Hong Jiang, promise not to embarrass you. Even if we meet in the future, we can treat each other as sisters!"
The woman in red turns out to be Hong Jiang!
Zhao Rang muttered the name several times and thought it was very weird!
Jiang is originally a kind of red. How could someone be named Hong Jiang? Looking at the red dress she is wearing, it seems to match her, but it is probably not her real name, but a nickname! As the saying goes, there is a wrong name, but there is no wrong nickname. However, Zhao Rang couldn't figure out any way to use this nickname.
"Are you Hong Jiang?!"
On the contrary, Ye Sanniang's heart skipped a beat after hearing the name.
As the proprietress who has settled in Yangguan and opened a wine shop and inn, she naturally knows much more about the Western Regions than others.
Especially after Dawei split into the Northern Territory and the Southern Territory, many people from the Western Territory became even more emboldened and spoke out all the things they had only dared to hold back over two glasses of wine after two glasses of wine.
Once when a leader of a caravan from the Western Regions was drunk, he took Ye Sanniang and chatted while drinking. Among them, he mentioned the ruined divine sect that Zhao Rang had just mentioned and the name of the woman in front of him - Hong. crimson.
Through the tone of the Westerner, Ye Sanniang intuitively felt that this so-called divine sect must not be a force to be trifled with. Later, she deliberately inquired, and did not hesitate to let these people from the Western Regions take advantage of her. Unfortunately, no one knew any news about the ruined sect and Hong Jiang. And the team leader never appeared in Yangguan again.
When she heard the woman in red admit that she was Hong Jiang, Ye Sanniang's heart trembled for no reason.
"It seems you know me!"
Hong Jiang's expression relaxed a little.
I have to say, the name is really a good thing. Especially when you hear something from others, it will always have unexpected effects when you meet the real owner!
Hong Jiang didn't know who had told Ye Sanniang that she was in trouble, but when she thought about it, she felt that with her martial arts training as a third-grade grandmaster, she had been able to access some real secrets, so she had some doubts about herself and the forces she was in. From what I heard, it wasn’t anything strange.
In response to Hong Jiang's words, Ye Sanniang nodded this time.
There was no need for her to lie about such a thing. So what if you know? She still won't compromise, and she won't let this woman hurt Zhao Rang no matter what!
"Since you know me, you should also know the consequences of going against us in the Western Region, right?"
This time Ye Sanniang shook her head.
The blushing face is angry!
She felt that Ye Sanniang was playing tricks on her!
There is no such person who knows who he is but has no scruples about the power behind him! At least there was no such person in Hong Jiang's knowledge. How did she know that Ye Sanniang was just telling the truth.
"Then you are determined to protect him?"
Hong Jiang raised the sword again and pointed it at Zhao Rang.
Ye Sanniang said sonorously:
"No matter what reason you have, he can't die!"
"Even if you die yourself, he can't die?"
Hong Jiang asked.
Ye Sanniang repeated word for word:
"Even if I die myself, he can't die!"
Hong Jiang was slightly moved, as if she had touched the softness in her heart. After a long time, it finally turned into a sigh. He seemed to want to say something more, but when the words came to his lips, he struggled to hold them back.
"How about we each take a step back?"
Ye Sanniang and Zhao Rang looked at each other. They both thought that Hong Jiang's persuasion failed and they were definitely going to take action!
"How to retreat?"
Zhao Rang asked.
Hong Jiang frowned, then waved his right hand, hitting Zhao Rang with a powerful blast, and said:
"Do you have any say in this?"
Ye Sanniang had quick hands and eyes. She used her luck and struck out before Hong Jiang could exert her strength!
Dao Gang moved forward without hesitation, and after smashing Hong Jiang's energy into pieces, he still had enough energy left to attack her body. It was blocked by him lightly, but it dispersed.
Only then did Hong Jiang look squarely at Zhao Rang.
Previously, she thought that Zhao Rang was just a pretty boy whom Ye Sanniang found on a whim to kill her loneliness. But in that stabbing blow just now, she didn't feel the love between men and women, or the indulgence of sensuality from Ye Sanniang's eyes and the intention of the sword. Only long-lasting and firm commitment, and the protection of mutual trust!
Hong Jiang found it interesting that such emotions appeared in two men and women who were extremely unequal in age and cultivation. She became interested in Zhao Rang!
Ye Sanniang struck while the iron was hot and said:
"There are at least four people here who you cannot act rashly, and these four people do not include me!"
The four people she was talking about were none other than Zhao Rang, Ximen Dazhuang, and the Yuan brothers and sisters. The reason why he didn't reveal his identity completely was because he wanted Hong Jiang to throw himself into a trap and gain more initiative for himself and others.
