In the spring afternoon, the skylight seemed to feel the excitement blocked by the dense forest shades, and desperately found a better angle to penetrate into the gaps between the leaves, letting the little spots of light that swayed with the green leaves fall on the forest.
At this time, those swaying spots of light were like eyes that couldn't wait to see the result. They flashed gently in the deep forest as a real spectator approached, inviting Mu Qing and the others to another life-and-death duel.
"Come again!" Yue Jiu tapped her chin calmly, holding the Yuehua Sword diagonally and pointing downwards at the ground, dressed in green clothes and moving automatically.
After responding to Mu Qing's invitation to fight again, Yue Jiu bent her knees and bowed forward. While pulling her right elbow back, she kicked her left foot back silently, and her whole body rushed towards Mu Qing like a meteor piercing the long night.
Yue Jiu's hazy white sword energy looked extremely dazzling under the dots of skylight above his head, and Mu Qingxu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
I saw that he was exerting force under his feet, and the ten thousand poisonous green energy was condensed in the dagger without being exposed. He was completely unafraid of Yue Jiu's powerful momentum that came with the sky light, and his whole body shot out to face Yue Jiu.
This time, Yue Jiu did not use the moves in the Moonfall Sword Technique. While the other person was still in the air, he retracted and released the elbow holding the sword. The Yuehua Sword was straight with his arm, and a simple and bright flat stabbing sword attacked directly. Mu Qing's chest.
Mu Qing held his sword in his chest and blocked it naturally. From this moment on, the collision between the two swords never stopped.
"Bang, bang, bang—" The sword energy overflowed and sparks bloomed.
The sword light floated and the sky light scattered, the swords in Mu Qing and Yue Jiu's hands had already dragged out long sword shadows. As the sword energy overflowed, the sparks generated by the collision of gold and iron spread in all directions, like flowers that grew with the sword.
Attacking the opponent with each move fails, and stabbing the opponent with the sword in an attempt to save him.
The faces of Mu Qing and Yue Jiu were tense, always showing the indifference of wanting to kill each other.
And often after the sound of gold and iron clashing has sounded several times, the intertwined sapphire-colored sword shadows will slowly dissipate.
The two of them fought against each other on the first day of the new year. As you chased me, the shadows of swords crossed each other, and half a moment passed.
Although the sword light was getting faster and faster, carrying the sound of wind and thunder, the two of them strangely tried their best to maintain some kind of restraint and restraint, and did not immediately use more powerful killing moves in the subsequent confrontation.
After a long time, Mu Qing's gaze fell on Yue Jiu's silent and calm face through the gaps of the sword light that suddenly rose and fell, with a strong sense of scrutiny and caution.
He maintained restraint and restraint because he knew that he was inferior to Yue Jiu in terms of moves and the true meaning of the avenue, so he wanted to find the best opportunity through consumption and send Ten Thousand Poison Green Qi into the opponent's body in one fell swoop.
So what does the other party want to do by waiting so patiently?
As the sword blades collided with each other, the two figures were close to each other again. At this time, no one dared to escape easily. When they meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins. The ferocious energy in their respective personalities finally came to light at this moment. Revealed vividly.
Yue Jiu silently accumulated her true energy and sword energy, and responded to Mu Qing's scrutinizing gaze.
In fact, as early as after using "Moonfall Wine", he vaguely felt that there were some problems with his sword moves.
After Yue Jiu used "Catching the Moon in the Water" again, he gradually realized that after his sword heart was reborn, the true meaning of the sword had undergone some changes that he had not yet fully understood. Except for the "catching the moon in the water" move, the current Moonfall Sword Technique is no longer fully consistent with the true meaning of the "Moon Cracking" sword technique.
This change is very subtle. If it weren't for today's battle in which two sword moves were used in succession, Yue Jiu would have been hard-pressed to discover that the power of the first move, "Moonfall Wine", was far less powerful than the second move, "Water." Catching the moon."
This was the reason why Yue Jiu could maintain restraint. In such critical moments, many subtle changes would be infinitely magnified after the moves were used. He didn't want to lose his life by accident.
So Yue Jiu is just like Mu Qing, he is also waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for Mu Qing to get close to him and be hit by him again using "Moon in Water" to hit the same place.
"Drink!" The two people who had their own thoughts did not wait too long for this opportunity. At the last moment of dozens of blows, the opportunity had already arrived.
When Mu Qing felt Yue Jiu's breath of zhenqi and sword energy approaching, his eyes lit up. After blocking Yue Jiu's vertical slash with his dagger across his chest, the ten thousand poisonous green energy that had always been hidden was like a hidden weapon. The tiger in the mountain road followed this simple blocking action and pounced, pushing Yue Jiu back and staggering back.
Yue Jiu was surprised. He really didn't expect Mu Qing to have so much Qi left after fighting for so long without needing to take a breath.
Before the look of surprise in Yue Jiu's eyes completely faded, Mu Qing had already torn off the disguise of deliberate calmness.
He looked like a ferocious beast with its fangs exposed. He thrust forward with one arm bent at the elbow. His concise and clear movements did not give Yue Jiu a chance to change direction. When the opponent retreated, the dagger carried countless An unparalleled killing intent broke through the wind.
Yue Jiu's bright eyes opened wide, and the dark pupils shrank suddenly. The sword edge that broke into his eyes was extremely clear. When he felt the pain that pierced the flesh and blood on his left chest, his eyelids jumped suddenly, and he even moved his body. The Dharma was raised to the extreme in an instant.
"Bah——" The short sword broke through the flesh and blood, and blood spurted out along the blade.
Mu Qing's eyes narrowed into a straight line. Yue Jiu twisted her body at the last moment, and the dagger stabbed straight into the shoulder blade. The dagger in his hand did not hit Yue Jiu's heart as expected.
But Mu Qing didn't feel that bad. After fighting until now, he knew how powerful the opponent was, and he would not be so naive as to think that he would be able to get all the results with one blow this time.
So he just moved forward silently, and continued to move forward, while the true energy surged crazily and poured in, trying to send the sword tip deeper, and send the ten thousand poisonous true energy condensed in the sword body along the sword tip even further. many.
"Sa——" The sound of breaking wind and hissing echoed through the forest.
Under the anxious glances from Liu Weirui and the others, Mu Qing and Yue Jiu cuddled together like old friends reunited after a long separation. One was moving forward very quickly, and the other was retreating slowly, so their figures made a piercing roar in the quiet space.
After the dagger had penetrated an inch into the flesh, and when Mu Qing moved forward crazily to pierce Yue Jiu's shoulder, Yue Jiu suppressed the constant and heartbreaking pain in a very brief moment and regained control. Take back control of your body.
Yue Jiu quickly retreated and silently gave Mu Qing the backup she had been saving.
A missing moon suddenly appeared bright in the forest, and then the sword tip dropped instantly, and finally cut through the sky silently. The sword move of "fishing for the moon in the water" pierced Mu Qing again at an infinitely paradoxical and wonderful angle. Abdominal wound.
The sharp look in Yue Jiu's eyes finally stopped retreating, and she bravely faced Mu Qing, who seemed to have no time to stop herself.
If he went any further, Yue Jiu's shoulder would be pierced by the dagger.
If he went further, Mu Qing's chest would be slashed by the sword.
But there won't be so many "ifs" in this world, and there are still many things waiting for him to do. How could Mu Qing hit the edge that could really bring him death?
So after feeling the sword move that was about to break open his chest, Mu Qing immediately drew his sword and pressed down. He stepped forward with his feet, his heels touching the ground and kicked as hard as he could. Finally, Yue Jiu's sword tip cut through the material on his chest and returned it. When he wanted to cut through the flesh and blood by another inch, he narrowly dodged the sword edge condensed by the moonlight.
"despair--"
It seemed like the sound of something falling, or the sound of the sole of his foot hitting the ground gently. Mu Qing's mood was a little complicated. He suppressed the injury in his abdomen and had distanced himself from Yue Jiu on the opposite side.
He stood quietly on one side and looked at Yue Jiu calmly.
Along the way, although there were dangerous encounters with Cao Mo and Geng Jian, the emotions brought to Mu Qing were far from as complex and profound as they are today.
Mu Qing knew that the Sword Cultivator was the most difficult opponent in the world when he came out of Hidden Valley, but Mu Qing, who was already strong at a young age, still had his own pride.
But today Mu Qing's proud heart felt a little bleak.
Because he was at a disadvantage twice with the same person and the same move!
This was somewhat unacceptable to the proud young man, but Mu Qing also understood what kind of powerful opponent he was facing today.
The opponent can always seize the opportunity that slips by between life and death.
Mu Qing worked hard to get rid of the chill in his chest, and gently covered his abdomen with his left hand. Blood spilled out from his fingers faster than last time, but he was not in a hurry to deal with the deeper wound.
He raised his chin, raised his stern eyebrows, and calmly waited for the impact of the poisonous green energy on the other party.
At this time, Yue Jiu was also looking at Mu Qing, and saw that with the movement of his fingers, he had quickly sealed several acupuncture points near the shoulder blades. The blood flow from the wounds Mu Qing had caused to him gradually stopped.
Mu Qing did not step forward to interfere with Yue Jiu at this time, firstly because the other party had given him time for autonomy before, but because he was waiting for something to happen.
The scene changed from extreme movement to extreme silence, and the two people standing opposite each other remained silent. A strong figure finally approached the two of them through the depth and touching sounds of the forest, melting into the shadow somewhere, waiting for the two to finally decide whether to fight to the death or not.
Yue Jiu temporarily took care of her wound, then lightly raised her sword and noticed Mu Qing's silence.
He tilted his head, frowned slightly, and cast his gaze on Mu Qing's fingers that were still being stained, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.
He took two steps forward and felt his left foot step on something, but he kept his eyes level and did not lower his head. He looked at Mu Qing, broke the strange silence here softly, and asked: "What are you waiting for-"
"Pfft--" A mouthful of hot blood spurted down his toes.
The violent beating of the heart seemed to ring in Yue Jiu's ears. Accompanied by the "dong dong" sound was an airflow originating from the wound on the shoulder blade and flowing to the whole body.
When Wan Du Qing Qi enters other people's bodies without being controlled by Mu Qing's thoughts, it is no longer the cool Qi that digests toxins. They collide with Yue Jiu's muscles and veins uncontrollably, causing a gap between the cold and hot breaths. will alternate.
Yue Jiu knelt on one knee, resting his left hand on the ground. Next to him happened to be a letter he had just stepped on, but he had no time to care whether the punctured letter fell from Mu Qing's body. After sealing all the acupoints on the left side of his body, he had a chance to breathe.
A few drops of sweat due to the heat emerged from the forehead with bulging veins, and slowly flowed across the cheeks that gradually turned dark blue. When they flowed faster and faster to the corners of the lips, they were about to drip down together with the overflowing green poisonous blood. While on the ground, the frost gradually appeared, but it condensed into ice and hung on Yue Jiu's chin.
Extreme heat was followed by extreme cold, and Yue Jiu painfully understood that she had been poisoned.
Yue Jiu raised her head and looked at Mu Qing with narrowed eyes. He endured the unbearable pain in his veins and whispered intermittently: "Give me...the antidote, and I will give you my life..."
Yue Jiu believed that Mu Qing could understand what she meant, but his eyes gradually lost their luster as the poison continued to spread in his body. Life and death were in the hands of others in an instant, and the outcome was too unpredictable.
"Spit-" A mouthful of spittle filled with the smell of blood was spat out.
Things finally developed as he expected, and Mu Qing's tense heartstrings relaxed at this time.
Mu Qingxing's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze fell on Yue Jiu's feet.
While sealing the wound on his abdomen, he walked towards Yue Jiu while remaining cautious and calm.
Facing Yue Jiu's gloomy gaze, Mu Qing bent down while maintaining a defensive posture, gently picked up the letter that fell from his arms, and chuckled: "Your life is very important." Is it valuable? You want the antidote unless..."
Mu Qing's eyes fell on the letter handed to him by his senior sister Ning Chu, his eyebrows jumped violently, and for a moment he felt that this world was too wonderful and coincidental.
"What's your name?" Mu Qing asked seriously.
