Seeing Tuoye leaving, Song Xin wanted to chase him. But seeing her retreating back, I finally gave up. She will have to know this sooner or later. As for whether she can pass this level, it ultimately depends on herself.
Since Lu Yuncheng wanted to see him tonight, he might as well go and meet him.
Song Xin went straight to the school office and informed Lu Ying of the matter.
After listening to Song Xin's story, Lu Ying was shocked, but refused to believe it. He said with confusion on his face:
"Don't you think this is a trap?"
"Even if it is, I'm going to see what the trap is. I heard that Song Chou is hiding inside, and I'm going to find him."
"In that case, Lu will accompany you! I will take people immediately and arrest Lu Yuncheng tonight! Don't worry, they will not escape!" Lu Ying said.
Song Xin shook his head. He would not let these school officials confront the practitioners. It would only increase casualties. "No, Mr. Lu, just lead people to guard outside. Don't let anyone escape. I will go in first."
"Aren't you afraid that he will harm you?" Lu Ying was surprised.
"If I wasn't his opponent, I think these school officials wouldn't be able to catch him."
Lu Ying frowned, seeming a little dissatisfied. "What do you mean by this? Do you look down on our school office?"
"Sir, Song Xin doesn't mean that. It's not that he looks down on the abilities of the school officials. It's just that I can't say more for some reasons. As long as you believe me, that's all."
Lu Ying was doubtful and took out a whistle and handed it to Song Xin: "Okay, if there is danger, just blow this whistle and we will rush in from all sides."
In the evening, under the drizzle, there were many solemn-looking and fully armed people on the streets of Xiangyang. They were all wearing uniform soft armor, wearing ring-headed swords on their waists, and carrying light crossbows and arrows behind their backs. They were silent and solemn. They were like undercurrents, starting to gather towards the east of the city.
On the watchtower near Jia's house, the soldiers' expressions were no longer as relaxed as before. They all secretly stared at the same place, the Jia family's house.
This place seemed to be the center of the vortex, and the rushing water from all directions converged here.
At this time, Song Xin had a sword on his waist and had walked outside the house alone.
I caught a glimpse of anxious Lin Danda from a distance. He looked anxious and didn't know what he wanted to say. Song Xin thought he was just worried about her own safety, so she smiled at him and waved her hand, indicating that he should wait elsewhere.
When he stepped into the courtyard, he immediately felt a vague sense of consciousness sweeping over his body.
"If you want to see me, I'm here." After Song Xin said lightly, he felt a highly aggressive consciousness locked on him, but he knew that his opponent would not attack now.
"I didn't expect it was you. If I had known earlier, why would I have bothered with all that effort."
"I didn't expect that Lu Yuncheng would be a cultivator."
"You, Schoolmaster Song, are also practicing this, aren't you?" Lu Yuncheng's voice was playful and relaxed.
"As expected, he is the leader of the intermediaries, and he is so well-informed."
Lu Yuncheng smiled and said, "However, if someone hadn't been interested in you, Lu might have gotten rid of you long ago."
"You just let me talk to you here, isn't that too rude?" Song Xin smiled lightly.
"Haha, come in."
Song Xin walked straight into the third courtyard. This courtyard was very large, with only one big room. It looked like a mourning hall for the Jia family to worship their ancestors.
"Tch, meet me in the mourning hall. It seems that you really have no good intentions." Song Xin muttered.
In front of the mourning hall, a man of short stature and lean body was looking at him with bright eyes.
Song Xin cupped his hands and said, "This must be Mr. Lu Yuncheng." As he spoke, Song Xin quietly released his spiritual consciousness to check the other party's cultivation level, but Lu Yuncheng just smiled and swayed his spiritual consciousness. open.
The two fought again, and this time Song Xin still couldn't get any advantage. After all, the difference in spiritual consciousness between the two was not small.
Lu Yuncheng then said: "That's right."
The two of them looked at each other, and Song Xin was thinking that if they made a move, they would try their best to get close to each other and use close attacks to suppress their opponents.
Lu Yuncheng's eyes were also looking at Song Xin, and the two of them did not speak. After a long silence, Lu Yuncheng spoke first: "I was entrusted by someone. He hopes that you can abandon Cao Cao and work under his command."
"I'd rather get straight to the point, but I refuse." Song Xin was also very straightforward.
Lu Yuncheng didn't feel particularly surprised, "Haha, don't you want to hear who entrusted me with it? Don't you want to hear the conditions?"
"No matter how good the conditions are, I won't go."
Lu Yuncheng was not too surprised. He shook his head and said, "In that case, Lu won't force you. You brought so many people here today, you must be trying to catch me."
Song Xin was not surprised. With the strength of the other party's consciousness, the ambush soldiers could not hide at all.
"I didn't let them in because I was afraid that I might make a move later and hurt them. You and I are both practitioners, so you should know what we are afraid of."
"Hahaha, interesting, Song Xin, I think the general has good vision. First of all, his courage is admirable. But do you think you can keep me?"
Song Xin did not answer. He took out the sword from his waist and poured spiritual energy into it. The sword emitted a faint silver light, which was the first sword energy of the Xuanhuang Sword Technique he had practiced not long ago - "Sword Energy of Heaven".
Seeing this sword energy, Lu Yuncheng smiled and said, "Well, you have actually developed sword energy. Although your cultivation level is not high, I heard that you have a lot of tricks."
After saying that, he took out a one-foot-long dagger from behind. It looked similar to an ordinary dagger, but Song Xin felt a faint pressure.
"Sir, be careful, what he has in his hand is a spiritual weapon." Ban Gu immediately reminded Song Xin.
"Spiritual weapon?" Song Xin's eyes trembled slightly. It was the first time he saw the legendary spiritual weapon in the hands of an enemy.
"If you want to take me, just come and try. Lu will not show mercy to you." His tone was relaxed and casual, and he didn't care about Song Xin and the ambush outside.
At this time, Lu Ying was still waiting outside, and Lin Danda was also standing on tiptoes, stretching his neck to look inside, looking a little anxious.
"What's going on?! You haven't sent a signal yet? Something will happen, right?" Lin Danda muttered. Lu Ying heard his muttering and gave him a cold look.
Song Xin and Lu Yuncheng were still facing each other with their swords in hand. The drizzle made their clothes wet, and their hair was soon covered with fine water droplets.
Suddenly, Song Xin's eyes were focused, and his steps were splashing on the ground, as light as a dancer jumping among the lotus leaves.
Chang Jian pointed out that time around him seemed to pause momentarily. The silver-white sword energy broke through the rain curtain and stabbed towards Lu Yuncheng's chest. The rainwater hit the sword body and was instantly evaporated by the sword energy, turning it into mist.
Lu Yuncheng was shocked when he noticed how powerful this sword energy was. The narrowed pupils reflected a white sword energy, which seemed extremely slow but came in an instant.
While hurriedly retreating, he raised the short knife in his hand.
The long sword collided with the short knife, and Lu Yuncheng felt a strong sword energy, like a snake, rushing straight into his arm along the short knife. He felt his arm almost explode, and was shocked. Unexpectedly, Song Xin's sword energy was so powerful that even spiritual weapons could not withstand it.
Lu Yuncheng touched the ground with one foot and stepped back quickly. The short sword in his hand was still trembling slightly due to the residual power of the powerful sword energy. At the same time, he released a stream of spiritual energy, which strangled the sword energy that penetrated his arm, and both were annihilated.
"It seems that his cultivation level is not much better than mine!" After one move with Lu Yuncheng, Song Xin felt that the opponent's cultivation level was not very strong, but his own consciousness was suppressed by him and could not detect him. Even with his true cultivation level, he cannot lock in the opponent's true energy. At this time, it was impossible for spells like the Heart Fire Seal to hit him, and it would be a waste of effort.
Lu Yuncheng was also secretly surprised. He didn't expect Song Xin's sword energy to be so powerful.
Fortunately, there was a force field formed by a circle of consciousness around him that continued to spread outward, forming a ripple like a water wave, suppressing Song Xin's consciousness. Song Xin fought so hard in this battle, it was like using Ba Ye against F22. You can only rely on courage to get close to your opponent and try to gain a little chance of survival in close combat.
"You can't fight him in close combat!" Lu Yuncheng immediately realized that as soon as his figure landed on the ground, the consciousness force field around him suddenly spread rapidly. What was originally a small ripple suddenly turned into a huge wave.
At the same time, Song Xin's second sword energy had also come forward.
"Song Xin, be careful this is a spiritual attack!" Xiaoyu reminded loudly and anxiously.
Lu Yuncheng was fighting to see if his consciousness would hit Song Xin first, or if he would be injured by the sword energy first.
"Half Bones, deploy the Soul Locking Chain Formation!" Xiaoyu shouted anxiously.
"Buzz!" Song Xin produced a silent and powerful soul barrier within one foot of his body. He was the first to collide with Lu Yuncheng's spiritual attack, making a buzzing sound, like striking a copper bell.
The soul power and spiritual consciousness collided and spread quickly. The surrounding air was compressed, forming a shock wave that spread out. The school officials who were ambushing around them suddenly felt their ears were stuffy, and their ears were almost deaf. They could only return to normal after swallowing their saliva.
Lu Ying's eyes were fixed on the gate of the house. He was shocked by the strange pressure just now, "They started fighting!" But there was almost no sound coming from inside, and what was the reason for the ear tightness just now.
He felt that there were waves of strange smells coming from the house, which made his ears feel stuffy every time. The refugees in the house obviously couldn't stand it, and they began to flee outside.
"Capture them and take them back for questioning!" Lu Ying said.
"No!" The school officials immediately blocked the door, caught those who ran out and climbed over the wall one by one, and gathered them at the street corner.
In the courtyard, Song Xin and Lu Yuncheng were still fighting.
"Good boy, I thought you were a soul cultivator, but it turns out you have ghost soldiers to help you, haha, interesting." Lu Yuncheng finally discovered the secret of Song Xin's ability to resist his own consciousness.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Song Xin scolded lightly, and struck out with another sword towards Lu Yuncheng's waist.
Lu Yuncheng chuckled, no longer touching the sword, and just retreated to the wall.
Seeing that his opponent was unable to retreat, Song Xin attacked with a few more swords.
However, a scene that horrified him happened...
Lu Yuncheng's figure split into two, then into four, like a ghost in his sarcastic smile, and finally separated into eight figures.
They all stared at Song Xin with smiles on their faces.
"Clone technique?" Song Xin didn't expect that the enemy would have such a method, so he stopped attacking for a while, feeling a little confused.
