"Finding the moon in the water" is not a failure, it is the move that has the most true meaning of missing the moon after Yue Jiu Jianxin was reborn.
After Yue Jiu used this move, a missing moon suddenly hung from the sword head, interweaving and blooming with moon-white brilliance in the dark environment.
As the Moonlight Sword trembled, the illusory and real sword lights reflected each other, and the cold moonlight chill stung Mu Qingxu's narrowed eyes.
And as Yue Jiu's wrist flicked upward, the galaxy turned upside down, and the missing moon hanging on the tip of the sword was like a meteor that started from the earth and then cut through the sky, and finally crashed into Mu Qing extremely quickly.
However, after a moment, Yue Jiu made a move, and the offensive and defensive momentum between the two people immediately switched.
Now Mu Qing is still vigorously maintaining the offensive of bending his elbows and thrusting straight. However, before he could only resist his sword light, the alternation between the virtual and the real has become complete, and a cold intention rushes directly from the bottom up. into his mind.
"Hey--"
There was a sound of tearing silk, and the tip of Yue Jiu's sword had cut through the hem of Mu Qing's clothes and reached his abdomen.
Yue Jiu seemed to have expected that Mu Qing would bend his elbow and thrust forward, so he switched from defense to offense at that moment, seizing the opportunity for Mu Qing to thrust forward.
At this time, Mu Qing's feet stepped forward, and his figure could not stop himself from rushing forward. The situation on the court had reached the most dangerous moment.
In Liu Weirui's horrified look from afar, Mu Qing rushed forward as if he was facing Yue Jiu's long sword, as if his chest would be sliced open from bottom to top the next moment.
"Drink!" He shouted with all his strength, and Mu Qing knew that he had been reckless. He showed the greatest calmness at the moment of life and death, and the zhenqi in his body worked hard to change the direction of his movements.
Now the solid muscles in his abdomen could feel the cold edge of the sword, which was still trying to stab deeper and higher into his chest.
Mu Qing endured the pain of the reversal of his true energy, and swung his arm downwards. Finally, when the tip of Yue Jiu's sword penetrated half an inch of his flesh, he pressed down, blocking the opponent from continuing. The offensive of flirting.
Yue Jiu felt the resistance on the Yuehua Sword. When the sword energy was about to be exhausted, all the sword energy was mobilized and rushed to the sword tip, causing the sword energy on the sword tip to suddenly grow, and it was about to tattoo Mu Qing. Wear it right.
When Mu Qing felt the pain of his abdominal muscles being torn apart by the sword's edge, his whole body's true energy rushed over crazily. Finally, he resisted the opponent after the sword energy on the tip of Yue Jiu's sword grew a little longer.
The blades of the swords clashed and slid against each other. One wanted to advance, the other wanted to block, and no one was willing to give in.
"Bang -" The two swords finally separated in another fierce exchange, and a crisp sound of gold and iron clashing resounded through the forest.
Mu Qing felt force on his abdomen and even upper body, and his whole body flew backwards uncontrollably.
At this time, the other person was in mid-air with nowhere to receive any force. He was startled, fearing that Yue Jiu still had some strength left, so he immediately poured his true energy into his legs, turned back, sank down, and then staggered to the ground. .
"It's so dangerous!" Mu Qingjian's eyes narrowed slightly. He covered his abdomen with his left hand and bent down slightly, breathing out a few mouthfuls of bloody breath.
Mu Qing finally held his life in his hands again with the help of more powerful and majestic Qi, but now he doesn't feel at all lucky to survive the disaster.
Just because Mu Qing belatedly discovered that his first chance victory over Geng Jian gave him a big illusion. He always felt that swordsmanship was just like that, so after being angered by Yuejiu's assassination of Liu Weirui just now, he lost a lot of confidence. Be alert.
Moreover, when Geng Jian was replaced by Yue Jiu, who had also come out of Hidden Valley, Mu Qing found that the other party had become extremely familiar with his movements, and even guessed in advance where his next move would be. The battle between the two was out of control. The ground is beneficial to the other party.
Mu Qingxu squinted his eyes, pursed his thin lips tightly, and stared at Yue Jiu's wrist seriously, paying attention to the subtle changes in movements.
Now that they were fighting again, Mu Qing knew that if he wanted to win against his opponent, it would depend on whether he could find an opportunity through constant consumption.
"Your Zhenqi's Zhoutian circulation time does not look like a third-grade one, otherwise you would have died just now."
Yue Jiuxu squinted her eyes, and her calm tone was just stating a fact.
His eyes fell on the blood spilling from between Mu Qing's fingers, and he resumed the circulation of the sword energy in his body with a little regret.
The move he just made had already exhausted all the sword energy. Otherwise, Mu Qing would only be greeted by more cold sword light from him when he had nowhere to receive the force in the air.
The leaves fluttered and fell on the ground between the two of them, and bright red blood overflowed from Mu Qing's fingers and dripped at his feet. The small world in the Xingchui Forest was illuminated by the light of the sword. Then it became deep again. At this time, the two people standing opposite each other in the forest were thinking about how to break the situation while breathing and recovering.
"How to fight?"
Farther away, a certain butcher standing high on a thick tree trunk had his own opinion.
"It seems that the letter from that boy Jiang Shangxiu is not just to fool me."
There was a clear light in his eyes, and even though they were nearly a kilometer apart, the subtleties of the fight between the two people still fell into his eyes.
Butcher Hu felt a little confused. Is this the new hero in the world now?
He cast his scrutinizing gaze on Mu Qing. He really didn't expect that the other party would bring him more surprises than Yue Jiu today.
The small hermit hides in the wild, the big hermit hides in the court.
The "Butcher", ranked seventh on the Assassin List, has disappeared from the world for ten years. Just ten years ago, a lonely and dejected young man came to Qingchuanguan Town and opened a butcher shop in the east end of the town. , perhaps because he has been associated with "Butcher" his whole life, the "Boss Hu" he initially called himself was still called "Butcher Hu" by the people in the town.
He was born in the Assassin lineage of the Hidden Valley and did not have many options that could be called opportunities, so he practiced the most basic Asura Technique of the Assassin lineage. In his early years, in order to quickly advance to the first level, he entered the Tao through killings. He was contaminated with too many karma and accumulated a lot of old diseases.
Ten years ago, when his enemy came to his door, he happened to be doing a level-A mission in Liuyelu. It was supposed to be his last mission as an assassin in the Hidden Valley, as he decided to wash his hands for the sake of his wife and daughter's golden basin.
But when he walked into the house with wounds and relief, what he saw in his eyes was his beautiful wife and his cute and childish daughter, staring at him behind the threshold with wide, frightened eyes. That was them The head without a body was an image of hell that made him dream back countless times at midnight.
The world is sometimes a circle. He killed other people's families before, and then was met with the same outcome by others.
Logically speaking, he should be very adaptable to that kind of scene. But when it was his wife and daughter who died, he realized that he was not much different from those people before who knelt at his feet like a dead dog and begged for mercy. The pain and fear penetrated all the softness in his heart. .
It was at that moment that his new and old wounds could no longer be suppressed and broke out at the same time. The murderous Taoist heart that he had barely maintained after getting married was completely shattered. The true meaning of the Tao disappeared, and his realm cultivation almost fell to the second level. I am afraid that in this life It is difficult to return to the peak.
After that, the name "Butcher", a blood-stained god of death, completely disappeared from the world. I'm afraid no one would have thought that he would actually find a small town to become a butcher who slaughtered cows and pigs.
Although Butcher Hu's real name has long been unknown, he was born in Hidden Valley and was among the ten people on the Assassin's Ranking. How could his relationship with Hidden Valley be cut off easily?
Once you step into such a cycle of love and hatred, no matter how the tide ebbs and flows, new people replace old ones, no one can get out of this circle. All kinds of emotions and desires are intertwined and have turned into mud in the water. When you want to go ashore to seek relief, you suddenly look back and realize that you are already deep in the mud.
The Great Elder of the Hidden Valley once said to those assassins who wanted to defect: "Wherever you walk, there will be footprints."
So before Butcher Hu's miserable and broken state of mind could be repaired, the assassins of Hidden Valley came to him and asked him to do one thing for Hidden Valley every year, and Hidden Valley provided him with the tools to suppress the old disease and stabilize his state. Rare elixir.
That's why he waited at the inn in the past few days and today's performance in the forest.
In Jiang Shangxiu's letter, he was clearly asked to play the role of a oriole waiting for food.
When he first received this letter, Hu Tufu thought that either he was confused or Jiang Shangxiu was deliberately trying to fool him.
Because Jiang Shangxiu mentioned in the letter that Mu Qing was only a third-grade poison cultivator. Although he vaguely said that he was as powerful as a second-grade sword cultivator, he did not believe it at the time. Based on his past experience, It's almost hard to see.
What made Butcher Hu a little frustrated was the requirements and arrangements for the results in Jiang Shangxiu's letter. Mu Qing, who had already become a thorn in the side of the Assassins, would still be worth polishing and utilizing if he defeated Yue Jiu in the end. If his skills were inferior and he died, Butcher Hu would be able to avenge him. In any case, Yue Jiu had to die.
This kind of arrangement where the oriole waits behind and the two of them are divided into victory and defeat as well as life and death. In his opinion at the time, it was just Jiang Shangxiu's request that the two young people die more "naturally".
What's more, he witnessed Yue Jiu's breakthrough and promotion yesterday, so he felt that Mu Qing would die in today's interception, and he would definitely kill Yue Jiu later.
But now, the direction of the situation seems to have become really difficult to figure out.
Hu Tufu looked at it from a distance but took a closer look. It seemed that Yue Jiu's true meaning of swordsmanship was not very consistent with the sword moves he used. This was because the swordsmanship had changed after the sword's heart was reborn.
But Mu Qing's zhenqi was still quite shocking to Hu Tufu, who was still in the first-level realm. He always felt that the zhenqi at the peak of the second-level was not so capable of sustaining a fight for such a long time.
Butcher Hu's plain brows frowned slightly. He stepped lightly on the branch and his whole figure disappeared in an instant. When he stopped again, his position was getting farther and farther away from Mu Qingyue and Jiu. close.
…
The wound on Mu Qing's abdomen was an inch long and half an inch deep. It was a penetrating wound caused by the tip of a sword.
At this time, due to the ups and downs of his breathing, blood was flowing out from between his fingers. The longer this went on, the greater the impact on the battle would be.
His Ten Thousand Poison Green Qi has a miraculous effect on the symptoms of poisoning, and is stronger than ordinary internal energy Qi in removing congestion from the body. However, before Mu Qing has mastered the practice of the Poison Body Chapter, this special Qi is very useful for pure The trauma is of little use. So Mu Qing chose the most practical method. He stretched out his right hand like the wind and sealed several large holes in his abdomen. Although his luck would be blocked when it reached his abdomen, he stopped the bleeding from the wound in time.
After doing all this quickly, release your left hand that is covering your abdomen. Only then did Mu Qing have the opportunity to confirm his victory. After the close attack and defense like a gust of wind and rain, there was a wound on his abdomen, but the other party was just breathing heavily.
Feeling unwilling to admit defeat, Mu Qing grasped the dagger firmly with his right hand, raised his chin slightly and looked at Yue Jiu with squinted eyes, and asked in a cold voice: "Come again?"
