After those senior brothers returned to Nanyi City from Daze Qingshan, Nanyi City's defensive pressure was much lessened.
Lu Xiaoxiao, who had not rested for a long time, finally had some time and stepped back, breathing a little.
The wound on his abdomen had already split open. Lu Xiaoxiao had to retreat to the back, cut off a piece of clothing, and endured the pain to wrap it up again.
There are not many Huangliang troops left on top of Nanyi City.
The sword sect brothers gathered together in the form of sword light, tearing apart the front lines of the Yellow Liang Army and the people of the Witch Ghost Dao Styx with great force. Those incomparably bright sword lights were like stars falling down to the world, forcibly closing the gap. Those troops that were advancing forward without fear of death were forced to retreat two or three miles.
Then this late-night battle that started for unknown reasons came to a hasty end in the darkness.
This time, the Huangliang people did not retreat to the edge of Daze, but stopped at the top of Qingshan Mountain.
The Sword Sect brothers did not catch up.
He returned to the top of the city covered in blood.
He sat down cross-legged and began to regain his energy.
Of course, the retreat of the Huangliang people is not entirely due to the Jian Sect disciples who returned from Daze.
The army itself had already experienced a fierce battle in the afternoon. They did not rest for long before they launched the attack again. Their own physical strength was insufficient. They had another battle with tens of thousands of Lingnan sword cultivators at night. They were already at the end of their strength. The return of the sect disciples naturally accelerated the wavering of military morale.
When the first person starts to feel the emotion of retreating from those sword lights, there will be a second one.
So this emotion spread, and soon the Huangliang army began to retreat, stopping on the green hills burned by the sword fire.
Lu Xiaoxiao bandaged the wound, and when the city gradually calmed down, he walked to the city wall and looked at the extremely miserable world outside the city.
The original appearance of the earth is no longer visible there.
After being poured with blood and being trampled continuously, it turned into a swamp-like appearance.
Countless broken knives and swords were stuck diagonally on the ground.
Many severed limbs hung from the sword like corn on a stalk.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked away silently.
He looked down at his sword, which was already covered with thick black and red blood scabs. There were many gaps on the sword, some were left by chopping bones, and some were cut empty and left on top of the city.
Recasting will naturally cost a lot of money, but you can do it without recasting. If you continue to use it, over time, those gaps will be covered by the melted sword body as the sword continues to be drawn.
Using a sword is a kind of sharpening.
So where was that sword in the sky just now?
Lu Xiaoxiao looked up at the southern sky.
When those Sword Sect brothers turned into sword light and returned to Nanyi City.
Many people saw the sword light heading in the opposite direction toward the sky.
Like a shooting star.
Traveling through the sky extremely quickly.
That kind of speed, even a hundred Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't catch up with.
So after the war in Nanyi City subsided, Lu Xiaoxiao raised his head and looked up at the sky, trying to find the location of the previous sword light.
It is a pity that the sword light was too fast before, and it hurriedly appeared in the eyes of everyone like a sudden appearance, and then disappeared in the southern sky.
What are the brothers doing?
What are you going to do again?
Lu Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky in silence, thinking quietly.
It's a pity that she is just a small Daoist sword cultivator.
Even if he is somewhat familiar with Zhang Xiaoyu because his steamed buns are so delicious, it is still difficult to come into contact with many real things.
Lu Xiaoxiao stood silently at the top of the city for a long time, then lowered his head and looked at the Lingnan brothers who were dragging their tired bodies to count the corpses on top of the city. Without saying anything, he slowly walked over. , cleaning the battlefield together.
It wasn't until a long time later that Lu Xiaoxiao stepped back. Just like before, he leaned against the city wall behind him and sat down. He wiped the sword quietly. The blood had condensed too thickly. Lu Xiaoxiao I had no choice but to pick up some broken swords from the side and carefully scrape off the bloody scabs.
It wasn't until the original appearance of the sword body was gradually revealed that Lu Xiaoxiao stopped. The sword intention spread around him carefully, absorbing the vitality at the edge of the vortex of vitality that the sword master brothers adjusted their breath, filling the divine sea. of vacancies.
...
The blood on Zhang Xiaoyu's body became a little thicker.
Perhaps because of the white clothes, the blood color is more vivid.
It's like big red flowers are imprinted layer by layer on the white clothes, forming such a messy appearance.
The Parrot Island suspended in front of him is extremely hot.
Occasionally, some squeaking sounds are made.
Zhang Xiaoyu originally thought it was the sound of some blood dripping.
It was only when those chills hit, that Zhang Xiaoyu looked up at the sky and realized that it had begun to rain slowly.
Raindrops fell on the sword body, and before it even had time to wash away the blood stains, it turned into steam with a pop in the blazing temperature and disappeared without a trace.
At first it was just a few drops of light rain, and then it gradually became heavier.
It fell in pitter-patter on top of the city.
But it’s not spring rain anymore.
But Xia Yu.
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the deep night.
Thinking calmly.
It was the first rain in April in the thousand and three years of the Gale Calendar.
It's not too late.
It can be said to be just right.
If it had fallen in the previous battle, many swordsmen might be tired and unable to hold the scabbard which was extremely slippery because it was full of blood.
Zhang Xiaoyu sat down on the top of the city, put the gradually cooling Yiaozhou Island on his knees, and let the rain wash away the blood all over his body.
After washing it for a long time, the blood on the sword gradually faded.
But not in white clothes.
The bright red color is quite eye-catching in the rain.
Two senior brothers, Mei Quming and Nan Dequ, stood beside Zhang Xiaoyu.
The three of them looked at the Huang Liang army that had suffered heavy losses and stayed a few miles away.
"Junior brother, have you figured it out?"
Nan Dequ looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and said.
Zhang Xiaoyu gently stroked Yingyingzhou on his knee and said calmly: "Maybe it's something from Daze that they haven't thought about."
Mei Quming nodded in agreement and said: "I think so too. Since junior brother and the others saw those people riding the boat, Master Wubei and the others naturally saw it too. In this case, he once again asked Nanyi City The impact was obviously something they didn't expect."
Nan Dequ was silent for a while and said: "But no matter what, according to what the junior brothers said, those people in the boat came towards Nanyi City."
Since they are coming towards Nanyi City, it doesn't matter whether they are in the same river or not.
For Nanyi City, this is not good news.
Zhang Xiaoyu remained silent for a long time before speaking: "Which two senior brothers are not back?"
"Ginger Ye and Huai Min."
Zhang Xiaoyu looked up at the sky and stared at it quietly for a long time.
When he came to Sword Sect, these senior brothers had already gone into hiding. Zhang Xiaoyu had only played cards with them and had never seen their swords, so it was naturally difficult for Zhang Xiaoyu to dodge those swords in the sky. The sword light revealed which senior brothers they were.
"So it was Senior Brother Jiang Ye who was in the sky before?"
Zhang Xiaoyu always felt that those sword intentions smelled like vegetables.
"That should be it."
"What is he going to do?" Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Mei Quming and asked.
Mei Quming scratched his head and said: "I don't know, but even if you want to break through those witch marks, you don't have to be so ostentatious. According to what the junior brother said, senior brother Jiang should have gone under the main peak of Wushan Mountain in the innermost part of Daze. , maybe you saw something inside?"
Zhang Xiaoyu and Nan Dequ both looked solemn.
Nan Dequ carefully recalled the force of the sword light just now, and said slowly: "He should have been discovered by the Nanchu Spirit Witch in the big swamp. The speed of the sword just now was too fast, far exceeding that of ordinary swords." The power of light should be forcibly burning Shenhai Yuanqi and using himself as a sword."
Zhang Xiaoyu and Mei Quming just looked there quietly without saying anything.
Didn't ask him if he could leave from there.
This is a rather heavy question.
"Where's Senior Brother Huaimin?"
Zhang Xiaoyu asked.
Mei Quming and Nan Dequ both looked confused. Mei Quming thought for a long time and said, "Brothers don't know where he went. Shortly after entering Daze, they didn't see senior brother Huaimin again. .”
Nan Dequ said slowly: "The last news about Huai Min was learned from Jiang Ye."
The three junior brothers asked Jiang Ye, what should I do in Daze?
Jiang Ye said to leave it to him and senior brother Huaimin.
Zhang Xiaoyu said nothing more and quietly looked at the world in the night rain from the top of the city.
After a long time, Zhang Xiaoyu stood up in the summer rain, put Yiaozhou into the tattered scabbard of his sword, and turned to look in the direction of the tomb hill in Nanyi City.
"Isn't there any movement over there, Senior Brother Huai Feng?"
Mei Quming shook his head.
Nan Dequ said softly: "It's a good thing that there is no movement. Huai Feng is only one step away from entering the avenue, so naturally he can see more things than us. It's not a good thing that he is sitting peacefully under the Tonggui Monument. .”
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the world of Nanyi City for a long time from the top of the city. What Nan Dequ said was naturally true.
If they can't hold on here, all hopes of Nanyi City will naturally fall on Chen Huaifeng, who has a wind and rain technique.
The only pity is that no one, whether it is the world or the disciples of the Sword Sect, knows what will happen if the Tonggui Monument is activated.
Zhang Xiaoyu looked over there, but was suddenly stunned.
When the two senior brothers saw Zhang Xiaoyu's appearance, they also looked in that direction.
I saw a young boy walking this way with a sword on his back.
It's gourd.
Zhang Xiaoyu frowned, looked at the two senior brothers on the side, and said, "Did you ask him to come?"
Mei Quming patted Zhang Xiaoyu's head and said, "What are you thinking about? With Xiao Hulu's level of cultivation, what should we ask him to do?"
Nan Dequ turned back to look at the Lingnan sword cultivators who were all dressed in blood on top of the city, and said softly: "He's already here, so it's hard to let him leave again."
Zhang Xiaoyu originally wanted to go down and take Hu Lu away, but after hearing Nan Dequ's words, he fell silent.
Indeed.
The Lingnan Sword Cultivators were all on top of the city, and Hu Lu, who had already arrived, had no reason to leave.
After all, Xiao Hulu is also a swordsman who has entered the Taoist realm.
It's just that even the senior brothers of the Sword Sect and so many Lingnan sword cultivators have been beaten into such miserable conditions, and just a young Hu Lu naturally has no meaning.
Mei Quming said slowly: "Are there only sword cultivators in Nanyi City?"
Nan Dequ and Zhang Xiaoyu both looked over, and then said softly: "Of course it's not just sword cultivators."
But at the beginning of this war, many people never came out again, and they really seemed to have disappeared into the world.
Only the Lingnan Sword Sect, with that stupid sense of love and responsibility, walked down from Fengqiling and stood on the top of Nanyi City.
Zhang Xiaoyu understood what Senior Brother Mei Quming meant, and behind him, Yuyaozhou unsheathed his sword and passed through the long street in the form of sword light.
Xiao Hulu was walking on the street with high spirits and was taken away by a sword light and sent to the tomb mountain.
Chen Huaifeng was sitting peacefully on top of the tomb mountain when he saw a sword light coming, and then the confused young boy Hu Lu looked around in confusion.
"Why am I here again?"
Chen Huaifeng looked at the Parrot Island that Nandao lent to Zhang Xiaoyu, and he probably understood something. He smiled softly and said, "Haven't you always been here?"
Xiao Huulu sat down next to Chen Huaifeng, scratched his head and said: "No, I left Tomb Mountain in the afternoon, and then returned to Jianzong. Yes, I want to go to the top of the city to find Brothers, here we come.”
Xiao Hulu said and stood up again, walking towards the foot of the tomb mountain.
Just as he started to lift his legs, he was swept back by the sword wind and landed next to Chen Huaifeng again.
"Brother, what do you mean?"
Hu Lu looked at Chen Huaifeng in confusion.
The latter glanced back at Nan Yi Chengnan and said softly: "This is a little selfishness of the senior brothers."
Hu Lu looked at the long sword with strong blood energy heading towards the southern night, remained silent for a while, and said, "What selfish motives?"
Chen Huaifeng held the wolfberry sword in one hand and the wind and rain technique in his arms. He looked at the Tonggui Monument suspended in front of him and said slowly: "Because something has come out of Daze again, your senior brother Xiaoyu and the others won't I know what Jianzong and Nanyi City will face next, so to be on the safer side, I decided to keep you away from this war."
It took Hu Lu a long time to discern the meaning behind Chen Huaifeng's words.
"Senior brothers, are you leaving a way out for Sword Sect?"
Chen Huaifeng was silent for a while and said, "That's true."
"Cong Xin is still in the Jianzong Garden."
Xiao Hulu said softly.
Chen Huaifeng looked at the Jianzong Garden in the north of the city.
Ever since a young man forgot something, Xiao Congxin rarely left the tree house. He often sat at the window and silently looked at the drizzle and dusk in the world, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chen Huaifeng looked there quietly for a long time before saying softly: "Cong Xin is different."
Hu Lu held the sword and wanted to say something, but Chen Huaifeng continued: "What's more, since your senior brothers are still here, there is no need for a young boy like you to show off in the world."
Chen Huaifeng laughed as he spoke and turned to look at Hu Lu.
"Senior brothers are not young anymore. They will be old in a few years. In this limelight, of course it is better for the senior brothers to go out. They cannot be like the senior brother under the green mountain outside the city who spent his whole life practicing swords and planting flowers. In the end, When he grows old, let the world see his sword."
Xiao Hulu sat there depressedly holding the sword.
Chen Huaifeng could naturally understand his mood and said softly: "Old swords are of course not as fast as young swords, nor as graceful as young swords, so that senior brother should still have a lot of regrets before his death."
Xiao Hulu said gloomily: "Then what if you finish stealing the limelight and we won't be in the spotlight in the future?"
Chen Huaifeng thought for a while and said, "Then senior brother will do something bad and let you stand out."
"..."
Xiao Hulu didn't want to say a word. He fell back holding his sword and looked at the rain in the sky melancholy.
Chen Huaifeng didn't say anything else, he just turned around and looked towards the southern swamp for a long time.
There may be sword light falling there.
...
The rain gradually became heavier and heavier.
It is clear that the tail of spring was lingering around the world not long ago, but there is no trace of the gentle flavor of spring in this rain.
It just fell coldly and mercilessly into the world, washing away the blood stains deposited on the earth, falling into the Nanyi River and flowing away until it merged into the great swamp.
Young Master Wubei stood calmly on the rainy green mountains, looking at the southern army who were looking for a place to live in the rainy green mountains.
Nanchu Ling Wu Shuhe was at the side and also said nothing.
This hasty re-advancement was the order of Shu He.
Young Master Wubei said nothing, and just let them kill Nanyi City again.
Since the afternoon, Young Master Wubei has not said anything and just stood quietly on the green mountain.
Only when those sword lights passed through the sky earlier, Young Master Wubei turned his head and looked there quietly for a long time.
This rain seems to have been falling for a long time.
But it just started.
Young Master Wubei looked at the Huangliang army that had retreated and suffered many losses - in a sense, when more and more of them died outside Nanyi City, it was an attack by the Witch Ghost Dao. will truly unfold.
The people of the Witch Ghost Way not far away were also very tired.
Young Master Wubei just looked around calmly, and then landed in Nanyi City.
After watching quietly for a while, Young Master Wubei suddenly raised his legs and headed down the mountain.
"what are you going to do?"
Shuhe asked from behind.
Young Master Wubei walked calmly on the mountain road and said calmly: "I will go find my poor brother."
"Going to Nanyi City?"
Young Master Wubei chuckled softly, looked back at Shu He, suppressed his smile, and said, "Otherwise, why don't we go to your house to look for him?"
Shuhe looked at Young Master Wubei quietly for a long time without saying anything else.
Young Master Wubei walked slowly towards Nanyi City, then turned into a black smoke in the night and disappeared into the heavy rain mountain roads.
Shuhe frowned and looked in the direction where Young Master Wubei left.
He could feel that Young Master Wubei had indeed gone to Nanyi City.
I just don’t know why, but there is a vague feeling of uneasiness in my heart.
Where did it come from?
Shuhe turned back and looked into Daze.
