Xu Huaigu looked forward and saw the mysterious man coming from the river wearing purple clothes, with jade on his waist, and a silver hairpin on his head to tie his long hair.
It was clearly a man's thin face, but he was painted with makeup, his lips were rouged, and his eyebrows were dotted with rouge. He didn't look like a man at all, but was dressed like a woman.
The weirdest thing is the bright red flower on his temple hairpin, which is extremely charming. As expected from the famous saying in the monk world, the higher the level of cultivation, the weirder a person's temper. Xu Huaigu really saw it today.
The man emerged from under the river, but he was not in a hurry to take action. Instead, he looked at Xu Huaigu with interest. The playful look in his eyes made Xu Huaigu very uncomfortable.
His eyes seemed to say, no matter how much you jump, you can't escape from his grasp. But unfortunately, this is indeed the case.
In front of this mysterious man with unfathomably high cultivation level, Xu Huaigu couldn't think of any thoughts of escaping, which would only speed up his own death.
The gap between realms, if it is one realm and two realms, there are ways to make up for it, but if it is three realms, there is no way.
The man spoke first, and there was no emotion in his tone: "I didn't expect to meet a born swordsman in this remote and remote place. It's really unexpected." His voice was very feminine, soft and greasy, as if he was separated from the world. He applied a thick layer of rouge and gouache as if talking to him, Xu Huaigu couldn't help feeling a little disgusted.
Although Xu Huaigu is proud, he can also assess the situation. The man looked indifferent, and he obviously didn't care at all about the death of the water god just now. He just didn't want the woman to reveal his identity.
And the woman couldn't tell his name in the end, so there was no direct conflict of interest between Xu Huaigu and him. Maybe this disaster could be avoided.
He couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. If the woman told him his full name, given the man's character, she would probably kill him and silence her.
I have been walking around the world for so many years, and most of the time it was others who kicked him off. Today, I finally met this difficult master.
What a turn of events! Xu Huaigu immediately put the sword into the scabbard, bowed his head and saluted him, and said: "Senior, you are so complimentary. I only have some knowledge of swordsmanship, but I am still far behind my senior." The man continued to look at him. , it seems that he is still weighing the pros and cons in his mind, whether to kill the person in front of him or not.
There are only seven people in the world who are born with swords, and Su Wei died, but I heard that another one came out on the East Fuyao Island, so there are still seven people.
Even though it was so rare, given his level, it was just a kill, so it was no big deal. I'm just afraid that the born swordsman in front of me has a background. If he is the disciple of Yang Yi, the crazy swordsman in Middle-earth, it will be his turn to be left behind.
As long as he is not Yang Yi's disciple, it doesn't matter whether he is from Longjiazhou or Dongfuyaozhou.
The man continued to ask expressionlessly: "Where did you study?" Xu Huaigu turned his eyes and considered carefully in his mind.
The man asked so straightforwardly that he was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. If he tells the truth, he is naturally afraid that this man will kill him casually. If he doesn't tell the truth, how can he make up a lie to hide it from this man with terrifying cultivation level?
You must know that this person must have much more knowledge than you. If someone is not careful and he notices that he is lying, then he will die without a burial place.
Xu Huaigu tried his best to act calm first and replied vaguely: "Senior, Master has ordered me not to reveal his name when I am training outside, otherwise I will be punished when I go back." The man looked directly at Xu Huaigu and said coldly: " To be punished? Do you want to be punished, or do you want to die? Hurry up and reveal your identity, otherwise I will kill you right now!" After saying that, he seriously raised a hand, and the river immediately rose and formed a barrier. , locking both of them in it.
Xu Huaigu was still hesitating and refused to speak, and the man began to look impatient. Xu Huaigu was actually betting that this man was so eager to know his identity, so he must be afraid.
If he discovers that Xu Huaigu is not the person he is afraid of, then he will definitely die according to the method he used to kill the water god woman.
As long as you don't reveal your identity, you might still have a chance to survive. It depends on whether the man is willing to take that risk.
The man's expression was extremely impatient. He looked at him with squinting eyes, and the balance in his heart had tipped to one side.
Xu Huaigu raised his head, straightened his back, and looked back at each other. The two just looked at each other, and Xu Huaigu suddenly said, "Senior, are you still weighing whether to kill me?" The man remained silent, but the expression on his face made no secret of what he was thinking.
Xu Huaigu took a step forward and said angrily: "I respect my seniors for their advanced cultivation, so I respectfully call them seniors. What happened today was obviously the fault of the Luhua River Water God. I uphold justice for the people of Hemen, and I feel that I am not satisfied with it." Nothing wrong! Maybe I disturbed the senior's plan, but the senior is not going to kill me, right?" The man suddenly sneered and said: "What does the people of Hemen have to do with me? I am not interested in the word justice at all. , don’t pressure me with big principles. I’ll count the last five, and if you don’t report to the guru, I’ll kill you.” Xu Huaigu also seemed to be very angry, and said: “In that case, there’s no need to count. If I meet you, it's unlucky for me. If I'm not as skilled as others, it's because I'm not good at it. Just kill me!" The man frowned, put his finger on his cheek, and brushed it gently, as if he was thinking about it.
After a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "You are bluffing."
"What kind of bluff do I have? I'm just an ordinary sword cultivator without any background. Now it's in your hands, kill or chop as you please!"
"Okay, since you are looking for death, then I will satisfy you." The man stretched out a finger, drew a stream of water from the river, and slowly approached him.
This water flowed very slowly, but Xu Huaigu did not dare to avoid it. As long as he made any movement, the man would immediately kill him by other means.
He was still observing his reaction. Xu Huaigu couldn't reveal his secrets. If he wanted to act, he had to act to the end. The water flow was close to his heart. Xu Huaigu didn't panic at all. He looked directly at him without any fear in his eyes.
However, this man's method is also weird. According to his killing methods, he also relies on the river water. Moreover, his ability to control the river water is obviously better than that of the previous female water god. Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill the water god himself with the river water. This person is probably not simple. This time, he is really unlucky.
The man looked at Xu Huaigu for a while, but didn't seem to come to a conclusion. Finally, he sighed and said, "I have no patience anymore. No matter who you are, you will die today." He was not joking.
As soon as he finished speaking, several streams of water emerged from the river, binding Xu Huaigu like chains and pulling him to the bottom of the river.
Xu Huaigu struggled with all his strength, the sword intent in his body surged crazily, but no matter what, he couldn't do anything with those seemingly thin streams of water.
He was helpless and was pulled down the river by the current. He sank deeper and deeper. The light on the river gradually faded away, and all the scenes in front of him gradually blurred.
Feeling helpless, Xu Huaigu felt a little discouraged. I have done everything I can, but I still can't escape, so that's all I can do.
Anyway, when he decided to stand up and fight the flood alone and save Hemen City, he no longer thought about continuing to live.
But now he not only killed the water god, but also suppressed the river forever and protected the safety of Hemen, which was considered a great merit.
It's just that the feeling of dying is really uncomfortable. He has experienced it once before and really doesn't want to do it again.
He closed his eyes and waited for his consciousness to fade away. But suddenly, he felt that the water that had previously tightly imprisoned him disappeared.
He was startled, waved his arms in the water, and found that he could move.
He didn't know what happened. Maybe the man had changed his mind. Xu Huaigu immediately summoned the flying sword, grasped the hilt of the sword with one hand, and flew the flying sword towards the river with all his strength.
With a "bang", the flying sword carried him out of the river, and Xu Huaigu quickly took a big breath of fresh air.
There was moist mist in the air, and he had never felt the air be so sweet. When he finally regained his composure, he began to observe the situation around him again.
The man before had disappeared, but instead, a woman dressed in black stood on the river.
The woman in black wore a black hat to cover her face. Xu Huaigu did not feel any aura of cultivation on the woman in black, but the more this happened, the more uneasy Xu Huaigu felt. He had no idea what was going on.
Where did that man go before? Who is this mysterious woman in black who appears suddenly? Xu Huaigu did not dare to approach rashly, and only looked at her carefully from a distance.
After a while, the woman in black suddenly said, "Have you seen enough?" It was fine for the woman to remain silent. When she spoke, it seemed as if the memory in Xu Huaigu's heart was aroused.
He was suddenly startled, the voice seemed so familiar. His cultivation is so advanced, and he is someone he has met before.
One candidate after another quickly passed through Xu Huaigu's mind, and he finally seemed to have a guess. This seems to be Bai Xiaoyu's master, the eleventh-level monk who has been famous for a hundred years, Black Eyes.
Yes, she is still wearing her iconic black clothes. In Xu Huaigu's impression, he had only seen her twice, both dressed like this.
This is Xu Huaigu’s benefactor. Back when he was in Zixia Sect, facing Cui Kuxia's deadly attack, he relied on Bai Xiaoyu to find her to come to the rescue.
Otherwise, given the situation in Zixia Sect that day, he would not be able to escape no matter what. Now that she appears here again, doesn't she save Xu Huaigu's life again?
But Xu Huaigu still wasn't sure it was her. First, he had only met Heitong twice, and both times were fleeting; second, he could not think of any reason for Heitong to come here to save him.
After all, he was a great monk in the eleventh realm. Even though he was born with a sword, he still couldn't get into her eyes.
As if to dispel Xu Huaigu's doubts, the woman in black raised her head, lifted the veil on her bamboo hat, opened her eyes and glanced at him.
Xu Huaigu immediately saw that her eyes were completely dark, as if they were hiding in the boundless void.
Yes, it's her! Besides black pupils, who else in this world has such strange eyes? But why is she here?
Xu Huaigu was puzzled.
