The plan went as expected, and Shao Xi added fuel to the fire. It seemed that the Zhao family would take action against him tonight.
The previous quarrel between Old Wu and Sun Jue was based on the pre-agreed contact information. Tonight, Shao Xi will sneak back to Cui Qi's home in Yujiang City to meet with them to discuss the specific matters of encircling and suppressing the private army. The agreement was to see you there or not, so Shao Xi planned to sneak into Yujiang City after dealing with the assassins at night.
Shao Xi is not worried about himself, he is worried about this guy Lao Wu. Although he has reached the peak of the third level, no one can guarantee whether the Zhao family will hide one or two masters.
So Shao Xi had previously told Lao Wu to sneak away from the surveillance of the Zhao family and sneak into Cui Qi's house on the night of the rendezvous. Don't think that now that you have a second chance, you will be so awesome that you don't take them seriously. Be careful of the gutter. If the boat capsizes, the evening will be ruined.
Lao Wu quite listened to the advice on this matter. In his own words, he had been fighting geese for a lifetime. If he was pecked in the eye by a goose this time, he would never be able to lift his head up for the rest of his life. He would not be able to break his eyes no matter what. The name of "no one".
After settling Lao Wu, Shao Xi returned to Shafang in Yushui Town with peace of mind. Because he knew that something must happen tonight, Shao Xi did not hide it and directly told Sha Nu about the matter, asking her to stay in the room at night and not to run around even if she heard any noise.
He didn't know what kind of person the Zhao family would send to assassinate him tonight, so after returning to the room, Shao Xi made simple preparations.
It is unlikely that a fan will be used in this fight. The two soft swords on the waist should be enough to deal with it; the "soft gold coil" on the body is unlikely to be able to break through one's own air shield and still have the energy to destroy it. He took it off; he also put on the dragon-horned lizard glove he had obtained from Wuriyetti before. No one knew what would happen. A little more protection was always good.
Just in case, Shao Xi also prepared Coagulation Powder, Red Blood Pill and Explosive Qi Pill in his pocket.
After suffering the loss in Wulong Mountain, Shao Xi truly understood that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. Although he is now at the peak of the sixth level and is only a hair away from the "Qi Transformation Realm", no one can tell when he will meet his nemesis, so he still has to be cautious in everything.
After nightfall, Shao Xi sat in the courtyard with Shaonv and chatted until late. It's not really about chatting, but Shao Xi wants the assassins lurking nearby to know clearly which room he lives in. Only by giving them a clear goal can he clearly judge what they will do next. .
After all, he is not alone, and Shao Xi does not want to endanger Sha Nu's safety because of this incident.
After returning to his room and turning off the lights, Shao Xi sat alone in the darkness and quietly waited for the assassin's arrival. Since the meridians broke through to the sixth star position, Shao Xi's learning ability and perception ability have far exceeded ordinary people, so he can sense all the subtle movements in the entire Shafang area without using his eyes while sitting in the dark.
The reason why Shao Xi's abilities are said to be beyond ordinary people's is not to refer to ordinary people who don't understand martial arts, but to everyone except Shao Xi, because Shao Xi is currently the only person in the world with double meridians.
The double meridian means that every time the star level is improved, one star will be added to the average person simultaneously. For example, when he is in the first star level, Shao Xi only has one star more than the ordinary person, but when he reaches the second star level, he will have one more star. Two stars, and so on.
When reaching the six-star position, normal people only have six stars, but Shao Xi already has twelve stars, a full six more stars.
It still seems to be twice the number, but compared with the previous one with one more star, the gap will only get wider and wider. This is no longer a simple gap from one to six, but from one to twelve. gap.
At the one-star position, for Shao Xi, the learning difficulty of one thing is two for others. At the six-star position, for Shao Xi, the learning difficulty of one is also two for others. It's already twelve.
Although he has not yet been promoted to the ninth star position to open his divine consciousness, compared with ordinary six-star people, Shao Xi has a full twelve stars, which is far more than the nine stars required to open his divine consciousness. However, this The twelve stars are evenly distributed to the two meridians, so this is not simply one plus one equals two.
This is why Shao Xi learns things much faster than others. This speed is not noticeable at the beginning, but it will become more and more obvious in the later stages. In the eyes of others, Shao Xi is a gifted talent, ranging from a wizard to a genius, and even to a monster in the end.
This is true in terms of learning ability, and it is also true in perceptual ability.
When the meridians reach the sixth star position, the range that normal people can perceive is basically around the periphery of a house. However, at this time, Shao Xi's range of perception can cover the entire gauze workshop. It is important to know that the range of a gauze workshop is quite large. Small.
Waiting is always extremely long and boring. Since this period of time is so boring, Shao Xi simply sat on the bed and started practicing the meridians.
When it comes to cultivation, Shao Xi has always felt particularly depressed. The advantage of meridians and stars has greatly helped his learning ability and perception ability, but it has no advantage in the cultivation of Qi Hai.
Although there are two qi seas in his body, no matter how he practices, he can only store vitality in one of them, while the other qi sea is still empty. No matter how hard he tried, this sea of qi just couldn't store vitality. In Shao Xi's eyes, this was a useless trap.
If another Qi Sea can be developed, then the energy reserves in Shao Xi's body will be very terrifying.
When competing with people of the same level of vitality, even if you don't have any advantage in skills, as long as the opponent can't kill you, you can rely on the continuous output of vitality to consume the opponent alive.
But the current situation is that except for the fact that Shao Xi has some advantages over others in Qihai cultivation speed, there is no difference in other aspects. The advantage in cultivation speed is still due to the Taichang Heart Sutra. If others also practice this kind of mind method, Then even the advantage of Qi Hai's cultivation speed is gone.
Of course, overall, Shao Xi still has an advantage. After all, after practicing the Xianyu Heart Method, he can cultivate meridians much faster than others.
As long as he practices diligently, quickly improves the star level of his meridians, and replenishes his Qi Sea through practice in a timely manner, his Qi Sea cultivation speed will still be much faster than others. At the same time, the level and realm of martial arts are improved much faster than others.
Shao Xi once asked Lao Wu about the second sea of qi, but it was the first time in his life that Lao Wu saw double meridians and double seas of qi, so he couldn't tell the story of Zi Wu Mao You, and could only look forward to the fate of the future. , I met Guo Youde again so that I could ask him for advice.
While Shao Xi was thinking about these cultivation matters, the feeling suddenly released was like someone gently touching the edge of the net. The whole net shook, and Shao Xi felt that someone had entered the range of the yarn shop. , and there were more than one or two people.
Shao Xi felt that there were five people entering the gauze workshop. The leader followed behind, and the other four took the lead into the gauze courtyard. It seems that the effect of chatting with Shaonv in the courtyard was really good. I saw these people rushing straight to the room where Shao Xi was.
After several people approached Shao Xi's room, they did not enter the room immediately. Instead, they stood outside the door and window and listened quietly to what was going on in the room. Shao Xi knew that they were confirming whether he had fallen asleep. After all, there was no way to make a big deal about an assassination. It could only be done by "entering the village secretly and shooting without warning."
Shao Xi gently took out the silver dagger inserted in his boots and held it in his hand. No matter who came in first, the first thing they would face would be the extremely sharp dagger coming from Shao Xi's hand. , it can be regarded as a meeting gift!
The few people outside seemed to hesitate for a while near the door and window, and finally the leader made a gesture, which meant that they should start taking action.
Several people gently pulled out the steel knives from their waists. One of the two people standing by the door inserted the knife through the crack of the door and opened the door bolt little by little.
The moment the door bolt was completely pushed open, the two men pushed the door open and rushed into the room. At the same time, the two people guarding the window also broke in.
The first person who rushed into the room from the door noticed a silver light coming towards him as soon as he entered the door, so fast that he could not avoid it.
puff……
"ah……!"
Dang clang...
If this was target practice, Shao Xi must have hit the tenth ring.
The silver dagger hit the visitor squarely on the left eye, and the half-foot-long blade was completely driven into the brain, leaving only the handle outside.
The person who was hit screamed in pain, and the steel knife in his hand fell to the ground. He covered his eyes with his hands and fell to the ground.
The other person who rushed in from the door together with that person obviously did not expect such a scene to happen, and stood there stunned for a moment. The two people who broke in through the broken window were on their heads and feet, and had not yet completed the rolling action after entering the room.
At such a critical moment, Shao Xi suddenly activated his vitality. The short knife originally inserted in the left eye of the first man suddenly flew out of his eye and went straight to the door to hit the second man in the back. Before he had time to react, he was hit in the back by the same knife, and he screamed "ah" and fell to the ground.
All of this was done in an instant. One set of operations was performed smoothly and without any delay. Shao Xi completed the double kill in just an instant.
The two people who jumped through the window had just rolled up from the ground when they noticed that the two people at the door had fallen to the ground. The two people were obviously shocked. They didn't expect that the person in the room was actually a master. But when they arrived, their leader told them that tonight's target didn't know any martial arts!
When fighting, the life and death of both sides often only lasts for a split second. This moment includes the moment when the two are stunned, that is, the moment of surprise after the two people stand up, which determines their life or death.
Shao Xi was in the midst of this flash of lightning. The Liuyun Sword had already been unsheathed, and he saw a sword energy coming out. The room was filled with clouds, light and sea, a mixture of hardness and softness, and a majestic momentum.
puff……
puff……
The two of them didn't even have time to shout, as they each had a red line on their necks.
The two of them opened their eyes wide, as if they wanted to see clearly what kind of person Shao Xi was in the darkness, but soon they realized that everything in front of them was tumbling.
thump……
thump……
The bodies of the two men fell to the ground together with their heads, twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
