Shao Xi squatted by the well in the backyard of the inn to wash the bronze plaque of "Jing Cheng Si" until it was dark. After washing the brands, I washed my hands for a long time. Recalling the scene where Lao Wu took out the brand before, he felt really uneasy and washed it again.
"He stuffed this thing into his pants, and he didn't feel uncomfortable." Shao Xi muttered as he walked towards his room.
After returning to the room and turning off the lights, Shao Xi undressed and lay on the bed. The scene of living on the grassland over the years came to mind again. It has been some time since he left the grassland, but he still thinks of Muren and Uzhina, as well as the kind people on the grassland. I don’t know how they are doing now? Do they think of you as much as you think of them?
It is easy for people to fall asleep when they are thinking about things in the dark. Shao Xi fell asleep in a daze while thinking about it. I don't know how long I slept until I was woken up by shouting outside the window.
"Stop, don't run, you are surrounded, you can't run away."
"Which way did you run?"
"Open your head, that guy is over there, and our people are chasing him."
"Then you're still standing here shouting nonsense, why don't you hurry up and chase me?"
Shao Xi heard Zhang Chong's voice outside, so he stood up and opened the window to look outside. Just then, he saw Zhang Chong leading one of his men, chasing a dark shadow in the distance.
Without thinking, Shao Xi jumped out of the window, landed gently on the bluestone pavement, raised his body and chased in the direction where the black shadow disappeared.
As he was chasing, he suddenly felt a black shadow rushing towards him from behind. Before he could think about it, he twisted his body, turned around and kicked the black shadow behind him.
The black figure dwarfed and lay directly on the ground. He shouted to him, "Master, it's me, do you want to kick me to death?"
"Damn! Could you please stop appearing behind me like a ghost next time?"
"If I hadn't seen you chase me out, the ghost would be willing to appear behind you."
"Stop talking nonsense and chase after him quickly. That body technique is pretty good."
When Lao Wu heard this, he felt uncomfortable. He kept mumbling, "Good body skills? You seem to have forgotten what I do?"
After saying that, the two of them chased after each other.
Zhang Chong and his men almost lost their lives in pursuit. They leaned against the wall on the side of the road with their buttocks stuck out, breathing heavily and kept muttering, "How can this guy run so well? After a while, Climb over the wall and get into the room in a while, almost torturing us to death."
"Zhang Tou, what should we do? Should we pursue him now?"
"You're still chasing after shit, do you know where he is now?"
A few people were complaining. Suddenly, two black figures flashed past them, so fast that the wind caused several people's hats to blow askew. Several people stared at each other, but no one understood what was going on.
"Did you see it? What happened just now?"
"Looks like two big black mice."
"Fart, how can there be such a big black mouse in this world?"
"Then do you see clearly what it is?"
"Nonsense, I want to see clearly and still ask you?"
"..."
Shao Xi and Lao Wu chased the black figure all the way over the wall and over the ridge, watching the chase getting closer and closer. The black figure seemed to realize that the movement skills of the two people behind him were stronger than his own, so when he jumped up on the ridge of a house, he turned around and struck at the two people with the long knife in his hand, and a blood-red sword went straight towards Shao Xi. Flying over with Lao Wu.
Shao Xi was slightly shocked when he saw the flying sword.
"The peak of the fourth level! 'Qi Control Realm'!"
Shao Xi had no time to think too much when he saw the sword coming towards him with strong killing intent. In an instant, the green feather sword was unsheathed, and the green sword energy went straight towards the sword. At the same time, he flashed his body in front of Lao Wu and activated his vitality to release the air shield.
boom……
puff……
Although Shao Xi's sword obviously weakened the opponent's Dao Gang's Qi, it did not make Dao Gang disappear. The weakened Qi was offset by hitting Shao Xi's Qi shield.
"What should I do if I can't beat the master?"
Old Wu was quite frightened by this attack. Fortunately, Shao Xi blocked it for him, otherwise he would have confessed now.
"Why are you so dazed? Explosive Qi Pill!"
If it weren't for Lao Wu's reminder, Shao Xi would have forgotten these pills by now. Guo Youde left these elixirs for him back then, but he had never used them except for the last time he healed the unknown swordsman. It's been ten years, and I don't know if the explosive energy pill has expired?
Seeing the sluggish figures of the two of them, the black shadow turned and quickly ran away into the distance.
"No matter, let's get one first." Shao Xi muttered.
Open the pocket, take out the small porcelain bottle, pour out an explosive energy pill and throw it into your mouth. After putting the porcelain bottle back into his pocket, he and Lao Wu chased towards the black shadow again.
In just a few breaths, Shao Xi felt the sea of qi surge, and the vitality continued to flow to all parts of his body. At this time, Old Wu could no longer keep up with his figure and was left behind by him. The distance between him and the black figure in front of him was closing much faster than before. He knew that the Explosive Qi Pill was working.
When chasing to the southwest corner of the city wall, the black shadow stopped and turned to look at Shao Xi.
I saw that this man was not tall and thin. Wearing a night jacket, he has a ghost mask on his face. Looking at it under the moonlight, it is very ferocious and terrifying.
"Are you the bandit who sneaked into the city?" Shao Xi asked calmly.
In fact, he knew that if he asked a nonsense question, the other party would not answer him at all. It's just that he did this on purpose. He wanted to delay as much time as possible so that the effect of the Explosive Qi Pill could be fully digested in the body until it exerted its best effect.
Perhaps because of the blow just now, the man in black seemed confident in facing Shao Xi.
I saw him slumping his shoulders, bowing, taking wrong steps, and suddenly rushed over. The long knife in his hand was raised diagonally towards Shao Xi's right armpit from bottom to top.
"Want to fight in close combat? Are you too confident?" Shao Xi thought to himself.
If the swordsmanship is not very superb and the strength gap between the two sides is obvious, using swordsmanship and swordsmanship in close combat will not actually be an advantage. Although the sword technique is strong and fast, it is not as flexible as the sword technique due to its wide opening and closing. Therefore, in close combat, if the strength gap between the two sides is not large, the flexibility of swordsmanship will have a great advantage.
Shao Xi followed the opponent's blade, rotated his body to the right, moved his feet to the left, and instantly turned to the right side of the opponent's body. Then he turned around and lifted up, and the sword tip struck the opponent's right armpit.
Because the man in black had not finished his tendency to rush forward just now, when he saw Shao Xi's sword reaching towards his armpit, he had no choice but to spin his body in the air to the right, his waist sank and his feet fell to the ground.
After landing, the man in black did not attack again. Shao Xi couldn't clearly see his eyes behind the mask, and he must have been calculating whether to fight in close combat at this time.
Shao Xi didn't want to give him a chance. Seeing that he didn't move, Shao Xi kicked the ground with his right foot, held the sword in both hands and stabbed him straight in the chest.
The man in black saw that the attack was coming quickly, but instead of retreating, he stepped forward with his left foot and made a lunge around his head, hoping to block Shao Xi's sword force so that he could follow up with a right diagonal slash.
How could Shao Xi give him such an opportunity? The moment their weapons collided, Shao Xi suddenly turned his body to the left, moved his steps to the right, then to the opponent's left side, and then made a lunge thrust, with the tip of the sword pointed directly at the left shoulder of the man in black.
Seeing that he was unable to stop him, the man in black could only roll on the spot to avoid Shao Xi's stabbing sword. When he stood up, he raised the sword with his backhand and threw out a sword. It seemed that he had completely given up on the idea of a close fight with Shao Xi.
After the close combat just now, the explosive energy pill in Shao Xi's body has fully exerted its effect. At this time, Shao Xi felt a little more confident when facing the sword of the man in black. So he held his sword and threw out a stream of sword energy, which happened to collide with the opponent's sword in a cross shape.
Due to the effect of the Explosive Qi Pill, Shao Xi's energy release at this time has reached the peak level of the fourth level, so the confrontation between the two sides' energy at this time is almost equal. After the "bang" sound, only smoke and dust were left on the ground, and the two sides stood facing each other with their respective weapons.
At this time, Lao Wu had already rushed over. Standing nearby, he said angrily: "Oh, trouble, trouble! You can't win if you fight, and you can't run. If you keep going like this, what if you still get it at dawn? Trouble, trouble!"
At this moment, Shao Xi and the man in black were very angry looking at Old Wu. We are so desperate! What sarcastic remarks are you making next to me?
In fact, what Lao Wu said was really the truth. As a once famous thief in the world, what he fears most is not that he cannot defeat the opponent, but that he cannot escape. Once you are entangled by the other party, that will be real trouble.
"What are you guys looking at me for? Either keep fighting, or one keeps running and the other keeps chasing. I'm here to see a show, not to act."
The man in black seemed to be stimulated by Old Wu's words, and suddenly swung his knife at Old Wu, and a sword beam came out and flew towards Old Wu. Shao Xi on the side saw that the situation was not good, and immediately swung a sword energy as fast as possible, heading straight for the arm of the man in black.
They all underestimated Lao Wu. The previous knife on the roof was caught off guard, and it was indeed difficult for Old Wu to avoid it. At this time, Old Wu was on guard, so when the sword struck, Old Wu immediately activated his body skills and flashed more than a foot to the right in an instant.
Old Wu dodged, but the man in black did not. Although the sword energy of Shao Xi's sword made some deviations in a hurry and did not completely hit the man in black's arm, the light of the sword energy still scratched the man in black.
The man in black snorted and took a few steps back. The left hand pressed on the forearm of the right hand, and blood flowed out from between the fingers. After suffering such an injury, the man in black was no longer able to fight when both sides were at the peak of the fourth level of "Qi Control Realm". At this time, his best choice is to leave, but can he escape when faced with Shao Xi and Lao Wu?
The answer was soon revealed. I saw the man in black throwing a paper bag at Shao Xi and the two of them. The paper bag was shattered in mid-air by the weak sword of the man in black. White powder instantly spread in the air, and a pungent smell filled the air. up in the air.
While Shao Xi and Lao Wu were busy covering their mouths and noses, the man in black jumped up and fled into the distance.
Old Wu's nose was almost crooked with anger.
"This is shameless, use lime powder!"
