The Ninth Prince was closest to the one-eyed dragon, but he didn't seem to see the one-eyed dragon raise his gun. He still stood there smiling and looking at Ye Sanqi, as if he wanted to see how he would deal with the crisis at hand.
But Ye Sanqi didn't seem to know that the one-eyed dragon had murderous intentions, and was still looking at the door at the end of the secret passage.
I rushed to the one-eyed dragon in one step, blocking the opponent's muzzle with my body, and quickly wiped the blade on his fingers with my right hand. If my knife could be faster, both Ye Sanqi and I would survive.
When the one-eyed dragon's finger on the trigger tightened back, the Ninth Prince suddenly took action, holding down the one-eyed dragon's arm with his left hand, and pushed forward with his right hand, pushing me around without touching me. Turning around, I happened to see Ye Sanqi's movements.
Ye Sanqi used the tip of his umbrella to lean on the ground and drew forward. A series of sparks, like spiritual snakes, were scratched between the tip of the umbrella and the ground. They circled up from a person's feet. After a burst of fire exploded on the person's shoulder, Then he took out most of the flames and shot arrows at the other person...
In the blink of an eye, a string of sparks that seemed to be controlled by someone exploded on the three of them one after another, and then changed direction and shot out behind me. When I turned around, the remaining Black Jiao Sect disciples also had sparks on their shoulders. There was a flame half a foot high.
Several people were burned and crying and howling, patting the fire, but I breathed a sigh of relief - these people knew that pain meant that the ghosts that haunted them had run away, and at least we were safe so far.
The Ninth Prince let go of the one-eyed dragon and patted him twice on the shoulder: "If you want to be the master of a sect, you have to calm down!"
Ye Sanqi turned around and bowed his hands to the Ninth Prince: "Thank you for your help, Your Majesty."
The Ninth Prince smiled faintly: "Brother Ye is joking. If I don't take action, your real fire can save this child. My action would be a bit unnecessary."
Ye Sanqi didn't say much, he raised his umbrella and pointed it at the stone door. Before I could even see clearly what mechanisms were on the stone door, the half-foot-thick stone door slowly opened under the impact of the umbrella tip. At the same time, an indescribable cold air rolled out of the door.
The disciple of the Black Flood Dragon Sect who was closest to the Shimen had a layer of frost instantly forming on his body. Although the man was not frozen to death on the spot, he was already kneeling on the ground and unable to move.
The one-eyed dragon, who had not dared to take Ye Sanqi's elixir just now, quickly grabbed the pill and stuffed it into his mouth. It seemed that he reacted quickly enough to withstand the spreading cold air.
Ye Sanqi didn't care how many people behind him took cold-repellent pills, and just said: "Those who can walk, follow me." Then he stepped into the stone gate.
I quickly followed. The space inside the stone gate did not appear to be as densely guarded and heavily guarded as I had imagined. There was only a five-meter-square natural pool.
Swimming in the crystal clear water are a few small fish that are as long as a finger and less than an inch wide. Are these the silver-scaled fish that the one-eyed dragon mentioned?
The one-eyed dragon looked into the water and almost cried: "What the hell, what the hell! So many people have died, how can we only get so few fish?"
Ye Sanqi raised his foot and stomped twice at the water's edge. The fine sand on the bottom of the water turned outwards under the shock of his foot. A stone platform holding three boxes also slowly rose from the bottom of the water. At the same time, countless silver-scaled fish also quietly emerged from under the fine sand, surrounding the three boxes with their guard-like tails pointing inward and their heads pointing outwards.
Ye Sanqi was not in a hurry to touch the box, but asked me: "Little Ye Zi, do you see anything strange about these three boxes?"
I looked at it carefully and then said: "The three boxes have no mechanism, but there are sealing marks on the openings. Someone must have done waterproofing, right?"
Ye Sanqi smiled and shook his head: "What you said is not entirely correct. Think again."
I looked at it for a while and said: "One of the three boxes must be a 'death box' hiding something deadly. If you choose the wrong box, it will cost someone's life."
Ye Sanqi shook his head again and said, "I still didn't tell the whole story."
I took out a big copper coin from my body and flicked it into the water. As soon as the copper coin reached the middle of the pool, it was covered with a thin layer of ice, and the silver fish also flew out of the water, like bullets. Hitting the middle of the copper, the copper immediately fell into pieces, and the silverbait fell back into the water as if it had been killed.
"This... this..." The one-eyed dragon kept saying "this" for a long time, but did not say what was behind it.
If the Black Jiao Sect was still strong, the One-eyed Jiao would not hesitate to use people to fill the water. But now there are only so many people left around him. If these people are exhausted again, he will not even be able to take the box out.
Moreover, the one-eyed dragon kept people around to guard against Ye Sanqi and Ninth Prince. He did not dare to face these two unpredictable descendants of the Qi Sect alone.
Ye Sanqi looked at the Ninth Prince with a smile, and he slowly walked to the other side and looked at Ye Sanqi across the pool.
Neither of them spoke, as if they were waiting for the other to speak first.
I've seen this kind of thing before when big bosses were negotiating. They knew exactly what the other party's purpose was. If they didn't speak, they were competing with the other party for endurance. Whoever spoke first would easily be at a disadvantage.
The one-eyed dragon took a look at the posture of the two people and immediately took a few steps back. The remaining people in the black dragon sect all retreated to a relatively safe place. Only I was still standing there.
The Ninth Prince spoke first: "My little friend, you should also stay back! The fight between us is not something you can get involved in, so stay back! This will save your master from embarrassment."
I looked at Ye Sanqi and saw that he had no reaction. For a moment, I didn't know whether to stand here or retreat.
I raised my head and looked at the Ninth Prince: "Ninth Prince, didn't you say that when my master can take down the secret treasure, you won't touch the things here, but give them all to us? Are you talking about it?"
I knew very well that what I asked made no sense. If everything the Jianghu people say is true, then there will be no right and wrong.
The Ninth Prince can tell me now: If you don’t have the ability to take the things in the box, you should find someone who has the ability to do it!
I questioned the Ninth Prince just to buy time for Ye Sanqi.
At this moment, Ye Sanqi made a "please" gesture. In the next second, the two of them, as if they had agreed upon it, raised their feet and stomped to the ground at the same time. The two of them seemed to be stomping with little force, but they brought about overwhelming power. The water in the pool and a box were all shaken into the air by them.
Splashing water droplets and flashing silver scales are scattered in the air, intertwined in colorful colors, and overlapping with phantom colors, just like a shield of silver light shining on the box in the middle.
Ye Sanqi, the Ninth Prince shot out from the air, and pointed his palms into the water continuously. From my point of view, it looked like there were countless figures overlapping each other, and continuously rushing into the water curtain in the sky, blocking the flying objects. The moving silverbait attacks the box in the middle.
