"呲——"
One sword swept across and the other slashed. Xu Zuo and Geng Jie faced each other with swords, and for a moment they were evenly matched.
The long swords in their hands did not completely touch each other at this moment. The green and yellow sword energy of the two long swords intertwined with each other, making a sharp and harsh tearing sound.
Suddenly, a sword bloomed like a strange flower and stabbed Geng Jie in the back.
"snort!"
The long sword in Geng Jie's hand suddenly surged with sword energy. He crossed with Xu Zuo's long sword violently. Taking advantage of the strength of the rebound, he immediately moved sideways to the left and stepped back. His right arm used force to circle back. The sword body twisted and rotated, and a sword flower was drawn out of the sword tip, and the long sword thrust from behind was directly involved in his sword move.
"call out--"
But Xu Zuojin raised his heels, moved his sword in a straight line, and stabbed Geng Jie directly in the back.
"Junior sister, step back!"
Seeing that Bai Jiahe was unable to make a sneak attack, he was entangled by the opponent. After a few moves, he was already in danger, so he hatched a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, forcing Geng Jie to drop his killing move against Bai Jiahe.
"Go to hell!"
Geng Jie gritted his teeth. Although he was attacked from the front and back, he still did not change his sword moves. He had to kill one of them first even if he was injured.
He exerted force on his wrist and gained strength. He hooked the tip of the sword back and directly pulled the entangled Bai Jiahe with his sword. His free left hand directly hit Bai Jiahe in the abdomen.
"puff--"
Bai Jiahe's long sword left his hand, and Geng Jie hit his Qi Mansion Dantian with a palm. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and his whole body arched together and flew backwards.
All this happened between lightning and flint. When Xu Zuo saw that his junior sister had been attacked, he felt cruel and started running the Baicao Sword Technique. He saw the long sword in his hand like autumn frost curling around the grass, and the yellow sword energy suddenly left the sword body. , scraping towards Geng Jie's back at a speed ten times faster.
But before the yellow and cold sword energy arrived, the long sword in Xu's left hand trembled fiercely again, and several more sword energy was fired out, killing as sharply as the frost falling on the grass after autumn.
This trick of "autumn frost" is taken from the crazy and cold meaning of the frost hitting the grass after the autumn wind.
"Tear-"
Geng Jie just knocked Bai Jiahe away, and the "Qiu Shuang" sword energy quickly and violently scratched the clothes on his back.
He could feel the bone-chilling coldness on his back that was as cold as autumn, and he knew that the other party had made a real move, using the foundation of their swordsmanship - Zhen Qi Jian Yuan.
The opponent's sword energy came so fast that Geng Jie had no time to turn around, so he held the sword directly backward, lifted it from bottom to top, and shouted loudly: "Daosheng Jianyi."
As soon as the words came out, the area on his back seemed to be a world of its own. After the sharp autumn frost blew into the quiet world here, the sword energy between them dissipated directly into the air like ants grinding down the road.
"puff--"
After forcibly lifting the Taixu Sword Element, his back was scraped with blood by the aftermath of the sword energy. Geng Jie was injured and rolled forward before facing Xu Zuo head-on.
Xu Zuo saw that Geng Jie's blood surged temporarily and he exerted force on his feet. Only then did he have time to jump to Bai Jiahe's side.
"Junior sister, are you okay?"
Xu Zuo helped Bai Jiahe up, keeping his mind on guard against Geng Jie.
In a fight between sword cultivators, sometimes one person's head will fall to the ground if he is not careful, so Zuo cannot help but be careless.
Just a quarter of an hour ago, he was leading the group through the forest, walking at the front.
There had been nothing going on, and he thought it was because he was worrying too much, when something unexpected happened!
The entire dense forest was like a calm lake with boulders thrown into it, and the waves rolled back.
Suddenly, there was a rapid and violent air blast in the dense forest behind. It was the sound of arrows cutting through the air when a military crossbow was fired, and then all of them entered the shooting range of the other party.
Xu Zuo would rather his guesses would always be just guesses, but things have happened and everyone has fallen into a trap. After he saw the current situation clearly, he understood that what he should do most was to temporarily put down his teammates and go save Bai Bai. Jiahe!
So there was a scene of him and Geng Jie fighting together.
When Xu Zuo helped Bai Jiahe up, he could already feel the aura rising and falling in the other person's body, and he persuaded him: "Junior sister, you must not be angry anymore, otherwise the vibration of your Dantian Qi Palace will be even more severe."
Bai Jiahe shook his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said: "Brother, the enemy has been surrounded. We can only fight to the death. Sister Kuang Fanrou and the others have fallen into poisonous hands. I really don't want to escape anymore."
Geng Jie, who was opposite him, was an old acquaintance. Xu Zuo and the other man had already fought several times. Both sides knew the true meaning of their respective sword moves, and neither could do anything to the other.
Therefore, even if the opponent's encirclement was completed, Xu Zuo was confident that he could hold the opponent back and let his junior sister retreat first.
But what Xu Zuo never expected was that Bai Jiahe now had such a death mentality.
He frowned, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and looked at Bai Jiahe seriously and said, "Junior sister, are you about to give up now? Then what is the value of everyone's sacrifice? Listen, the companions in front are still fighting each other desperately. , you shouldn’t let down everyone’s good intentions, I’ll drag Geng Jie, tear a hole in the back for you, and run back, do you understand?”
Bai Jiahe saw the disappointment in Xu Zuo's eyes, his eyes darkened, and he said: "Senior brother."
But he suddenly stopped and shouted: "Be careful!"
It turned out that after Geng Jie calmed down the surging energy and blood, he saw that Xu Zuozheng was distracted and his back was turned to him, so he stabbed him with a sneak attack.
Bai Jiahe saw that Geng Jieren was already stabbing in the air with his sword. He exerted force on his feet and was about to use the "Green Leaf Mystery Trace" to take Xu Zuo out of the sword aura. However, there was a sharp pain in his Dantian. He could only grit his teeth and hit Xu Zuo with a palm. Pushed out, he was stabbed in the shoulder by Geng Jie with a sword.
"Junior sister!!!"
Xu Zuo's eyes were so frightened that his junior sister was hit by a sword.
His mind went blank, and the sword essence of his whole body surged out, and he said angrily: "Qiu Ji!"
I saw Xu Zuo using his belt arm, loosening his shoulders and arms, and using his wrists to help, the sword force penetrated the sword body, flew directly into the sky, and struck Geng Jie head-on from top to bottom.
"boom--"
"Autumn Silence" is the second form of the Baicao Sword Technique. It is completely different from the first form of "Autumn Frost" that Xu Zuo used before. The true meaning of the sword and the condensed essence of the sword are not leaked. When Xu Zuo holds the sword in both hands, he slashes from the air. At the next moment, the sound of wind blast echoed through the dense forest.
"Daosheng Jianyi!"
Geng Jie did not have enough sword energy in his body to use the Taixu Sword Art. He could only reluctantly use the first form of the Taixu Sword Art, "Daosheng Sword One", but this time the Xujing Sword Domain generated was It was broken directly by Xu Zuo's long sword that did not reveal any sword energy.
The two swords directly intersected each other vertically, and Geng Jie bent his knees. Only then did Xu Zuo's "Autumn Silence" in anger show its power, and only a trace of the Autumn Queen Frost Falling View originally hidden in the sword could be seen. Baicao's Xiaosha Lonely Sword Intent was as direct as substance, penetrating the long sword in Geng Jie's hand, and struck down quickly at Geng Jie, who was already kneeling on the ground.
At this time, Geng Jie could already feel the heart-wrenching pain of his whole face being torn open. He closed his eyes and could no longer fight back, and cried in his heart: "My life is at stake!"
However, he did not die. He only heard a soft shout in the air: "Daosheng Jianyi!"
Peiran's Xujing Sword Domain poured down like heavy rain. Just when the sword intent of "Autumn Silence" was about to penetrate deep into his flesh and blood and split open Geng Jie's head, it made him fall into the quagmire and tremble wildly but could not go any deeper.
"Brother!"
Geng Jie felt the sword intent that was a hundred times greater than his own. When he opened his eyes, the joy of surviving the disaster surged wildly, but he lost all strength and fell directly to the ground.
At this time, the person who was stepping on a black flying sword more than three feet off the ground was none other than Geng Jian, the second gear head of Tianshou, Geng Jie, nicknamed "Obsidian Sword Maniac" in the world.
Geng Jian wore a black sword outfit embroidered with hibiscus flowers embroidered with gold and fluttered in the wind. He held the sword in hand and looked at Geng Jie condescendingly, and said in a cold tone: "Trash."
As he spoke, the sword technique in his hand changed, and he pointed downwards. Instead of relying on the flying sword at his feet, he shot out an invincible and powerful sword intent, directly towards Xu Zuo, who was trembling rapidly in the sword field.
"Puff——"
Xu Zuo forcibly mobilized the last sword energy in his body, used the sword in his hand to cut a small hole in the surrounding Xu Jing Sword Domain, and escaped.
The one who came here, Demon Geng, was a kendo madman who even his master Huai Cao Shi could only try to hold back but was defeated head-on. His sword heart had already been matured and he had reached the point where he didn't need to hold a sharp sword but only needed to pinch the sword technique with his hand. The point of shooting out true sword energy.
Knowing that he was outmatched, Xu Zuo staggered to the side of the weak Bai Jiahe, hugged her and fled to the dense forest behind him without looking back.
"Leave the waste to clean the battlefield ahead, and I will take their lives myself."
Just after Geng Jian finished speaking, he was already in mid-air like a dragon swimming into the sea, and plunged into the dark forest behind him.
Geng Jie got up, even though he felt that his elder brother had left here, he still did not dare to be negligent. He quickly lowered his head and listened to the order and said: "Yes! Second gear..."
It wasn't until Geng Jian's breath had really gone far that Geng Jie dared to raise his head and look in the direction in which he disappeared, and said: "Brother's 'Xiaoyaoyou' is also traveling more and more far away. It seems that he followed that body." Although the woman with superb skills did not catch the opponent, she aroused the competitive spirit of the eldest brother. "
Geng Jie sighed and shook his head. His eldest brother always wanted to compete with others when pursuing the great road. No wonder he improved so fast in the way of swordsmanship. He was probably already at the peak of the second rank. He who had just reached the third rank could not even reach the third rank just now. That kid is no match for him, he is indeed far inferior to him.
…
Behind the dense forest, not far from the place where Xu Zuo fought, there was a large black and yellow stone.
At this time, Mu Qing, who had already cleaned up the scene, was leaning behind the big stone and carefully looking at one of his harvests, an animal skin book about three inches thick. The cover of the book was written in ancient Chinese. There are four big characters: The Scripture of Ten Thousand Poisons.
Just now, it was because of the obstruction of this animal skin book that Mu Qing's sword tip could not pierce Cao Mo's chest.
The first time he got this book, he used it to confirm whether the operation method of the Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra in the poisonous gas chapter was wrong, because after learning this Heart Sutra, he was more inclined to use the Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra. Qingqi.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the poisonous gas chapter he heard from Cao Mo, and the stack of poisonous insect chapters and poisonous medicine chapters that were still dry in his arms, he no longer wanted to spend time exploring whether the other party had done anything wrong. , after all, the real "Ten Thousand Poisons Manual" is already in his hands. To prove whether he has been wrongly accused for a person who deserves to die is not what Mu Qing would do.
At this time, he was wandering leisurely, thinking about what he had and what he didn't have, but he turned to the place where he had just marked and left a crease, the record of the Poisonous Insect Chapter about the Nightmare Insect Mother Gu.
It was horrifying to say that as early as a quarter of an hour ago, when he was cleaning up the scene and leaning over to search for the loot, a black worm with a smooth surface and two golden rings on its tail came out directly from Cao Mo's eyes. , after he jumped away to prevent any changes, he found a bug on Lin Tian's head that rolled to the side, but the bug glowed with a faint golden light.
Mu Qing had witnessed Cao Mo's ability to control these bugs before, and he immediately realized that this was the mother bug that the other party said could control the host and even turn the host into a puppet.
When Mu Qing was opening the "Ten Thousand Poisons Manual" and preparing to learn it and sell it, the mother Gu of the Nightmare Insect had already eaten the child Gu.
So he just briefly learned how to feed it, and with luck, he fed a drop of blood containing ten thousand poisonous green energy to the nightmare insect mother Gu with his fingertips. But within a moment, the entire body of the Nightmare Insect Gu became darker and brighter, and there were four more golden insect rings that gradually became darker.
Thinking of this, he glanced at a package beside him, and the Nightmare Insect Mother Gu was roughly still in one of the wooden boxes.
He thought for a while and felt that the Nightmare Insect Mother Gu was a moderate help, so he turned his attention back to the folded page of records.
“Every Bon Festival, when the full moon is high and the moon essence is at its peak, twelve kinds of poisonous insects such as poisonous snakes, centipedes, scorpions, spiders, centipedes, etc. are taken from the natural mountains and placed in a large vat, and on the full moon of the next month At that time, find a place to dream and chant and pray, so that these poisonous insects can devour each other and merge, then change their shape and color, and the one that survives in the end will become the mother nightmare insect Gu."
The mother Gu of the Nightmare Insect is a "dragon Gu" among the two types of Gu. She is born without legs. When she is young, her body surface is light black. As she grows, the color will deepen and golden insect rings will appear. The number of insect rings represents the mother's body. The maximum number of daughter Gu that the Gu can breed. When the mother nightmare insect Gu enters the true mature stage, it can produce up to twelve insect rings and breed twelve nightmare insect child Gu.
The nightmare is a dream ghost, and the child voodoo is implanted in other people's bodies. It can use the mother voodoo to subtly tamper with other people's mental thoughts while the host is sleeping, and eventually becomes a puppet that obeys the orders of the person who raises the voodoo.
If the mother Gu dies because there is no support from the person who raised the voodoo, the child voodoo and the host will die automatically; if the host dies, the child voodoo will generally die after an hour without support, and after the death of the child voodoo, the mother voodoo will It will be sensed immediately, and it can fill the gap and regenerate a nightmare insect Gu.
In addition, there is a special situation. If the person who raises the voodoo and the host die at the same time and are close to each other, the mother voodoo will call out the child voodoo and eat it to maintain its own life. "
After Mu Qing read this paragraph with concentration, he understood why that happened just now, so he stood up and picked up a small package next to it. In addition to the box containing a worm, Mu Qing also There is another harvest: four palm-sized sandalwood boxes,
Because this place is not safe, Mu Qing is not in a hurry to open them now.
"It's strange. I remember there seemed to be a fierce battle over there not long ago. The two sides should be equally matched. Why is there no movement? Could it be that I have been reading for a long time?"
Mu Qing rubbed his neck, thinking in his mind, while pouring Qi into the Yifeng point behind his ears, paying attention to the movements of the surrounding dense forest.
"Um?"
Just a moment before Mu Qing heard the sound of breaking wind, three people had already appeared in his field of vision.
The crowd stood at an angle, looking at each other in disbelief and hostility.
