Chapter 149 Chapter Seventeen

Chapter 17: Life for Life Duan Lingxiao was already prepared, but in his capacity, if I said so and he took action, it would be embarrassing, so he still stood still, wanting to see clearly where the attack came from. If it came from behind, then ten The distance of five zhang was enough for him to kill Jiang Zhe first. At this moment, he had no intention of capturing Jiang Zhe alive. It is better for such a character to let him die earlier. As soon as my words fell, the two guards were only half a step away from me, suddenly the sand was flying, and the two figures broke through the ground, protecting me behind me in an instant, Duan Lingxiao felt cold in his heart, subconsciously He took half a step back, how could he not notice someone lurking at such a close distance.After the dust dispersed, Duan Lingxiao could already see the figures of the two people clearly, but they were two monks about thirty-five or sixteen years old.Duan Lingxiao snorted coldly and said, "So it's a Shaolin monk?"

At this time, Jiang Zhe Qingyue's voice sounded: "Master Fazheng and Master Faren are the eighteen arhats of Shaolin from the previous generation. After a battle with the master of Fengyi sect a few years ago, only a few survived. The two masters survived this battle. The Zen skills are advanced, and the Buddhist martial arts are the most refined and restrained, so they can hide it from the eyes of the eldest son, but the eldest son can rest assured that the two masters admit that they are not your opponents, so Jiang invited another master to come to help." Duan Lingxiao's heart sank. These two monks had fought life and death with the master of Fengyi Sect. It was already difficult to deal with them if they survived. Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhe still had masters hiding.At this time, a calm voice came from behind him saying: "The poor Zhang Jinxiong has met Mr. Duan." Then another soft voice said: "Zhenzi Emei Ling has met Mr. Duan."

Duan Lingxiao's figure flickered, and he had retreated more than ten feet, then turned sideways, looked at the two people behind him, and saw two people walking slowly behind the horizontal line, one was a Taoist in Tsing Yi, with a square and mighty appearance, The one is full of energy, with empty hands, but the other is a nun in Ziyi, with a beautiful appearance and a calm expression, holding a whisk in her hand.Duan Lingxiao couldn't help sighing softly: "Unexpectedly, Lord Jianghou is really bound to win this time." I hid behind Fazheng and Faren, and the corners of my mouth turned up when I heard the words, but I quickly retreated. I chose these people after thinking and thinking. This time I attacked Qinzhou, in order to guard against the disciples of the Demon Sect, The King of Qi had already written to the imperial court to ask for the help of decent masters from all corners of the country. The most outstanding masters of each faction are often in their own schools. The masters in the army of the Great Yong Dynasty are often not the ultimate masters, and there are several masters of martial arts who are all in the palace, so this time I specially asked the emperor to recruit some masters of the rivers and lakes to serve in the army. Of course, this matter is very secretive. Identity is very secret.

Shaolin Temple sent the most masters, among the surviving Twelve Vajras, there were only six of them, not counting the disciples of other generations.Kongtong attached himself to the prince last time, although Zhang Jinxiong was not implicated because of Zhang Jinxiong's return from the wrong way, but he didn't get any benefits.After Zhang Jinxiong returned to Kongtong, because he experienced many storms and saw through the world, he became a monk and became a Taoist priest. His martial arts improved by leaps and bounds. , but it is only a thin line.Emei is also unambiguous, Ling Zhenzi is the number one expert in Emei, although he is over forty, he seems to be in his twenties, Emei has already mastered the mind of Luanfeng, and is famous all over the world for his unique skill of whisking dust.

The letter I wrote to King Qi asked him to send a few experts one day in advance, rush here according to the map on the letter, and then set up traps, waiting for Duan Lingxiao to fall into the ambush. Of course, I also thought that Duan Lingxiao might not come, but in my calculations Among them, there is at least a 60% chance of seeing Duan Lingxiao. Now that he has fallen into ambush, although none of the four masters have entered the innate realm, they are basically a line behind (this is the result of Xiao Shunzi's evaluation), With Xiao Shunzi in the formation again, Duan Lingxiao would be hard-pressed to fly.

Thinking of my pride, I said loudly: "If Mr. Duan is willing to arrest without a fight, Jiang is willing to swear that he will not harm each other. I wonder if Mr. Duan is willing?" A flash of understanding flashed in Duan Lingxiao's eyes as deep as Yuanhai, and he said: "There is a time to live, and there is a place to die. This place is as quiet as a paradise. Even if Duan dies here, he will have no complaints or favours. Master Jiang's skills are amazing. I admire you." .” I heard this, but my heart was moved. A thing that I had ignored before came to my mind. I wanted to kill Duan Lingxiao because his martial arts were too high. I was afraid that I would not be able to escape the disaster of flooding, so I was more and more worried about Duan Lingxiao. He is a man of great martial arts. He kills.But when the goal was about to be achieved, I thought of another thing. I only thought about the threat of this person these days, but forgot that this person is the head disciple of the Demon Sect. If this person died here, then Jing Wuji could Am I asking for trouble if I act grandiosely in person, as long as Duan Lingxiao doesn't die, Jing Wuji won't make a move easily unless we attack Jinyang, so Duan Lingxiao can't die, or even be captured alive, he can only let him go away with serious injuries , so that it is in the interests of our army.

When I was meditating, Duan Lingxiao had already made a move, and he rushed straight to where I was standing, as if he wanted to kill me in one fell swoop. Of course, Fazheng and Faren have been waiting in full force for a long time. Before coming, King Qi had a strict order If something happened to the Marquis of Chuxiang, no one should think about it. Just now when they hid in the pit and heard Jiang Zhe talking with Duan Lingxiao, the two of them were already uneasy, fearing that Jiang Zhe had something good or bad. Moreover, the two of them were ready to block Duan Lingxiao's attack, but they still couldn't help feeling anxious, where Duan Lingxiao would succeed at this moment.Just when the two shot to stop each other, Duan Lingxiao retreated at a faster speed than the incoming force, and turned around in mid-air, intending to escape.But at this time, Xiao Shunzi, the only one who might surpass Duan Lingxiao in physical skill, didn't care about it, and rushed to my side to protect me. When Duan Lingxiao was about to escape from the four people's encirclement, three red lights flashed and happened to stop me. Duan Lingxiao went on the road, Duan Lingxiao waved his hand, the red light pierced through his strong wind, and fell slowly in front of him. Even so, Duan Lingxiao was also stagnant. Ling Zhenzi surrounded them.The three red lights were actually three blood tribulus shot by Zhang Jinxiong using the Kongtong secret technique, which can pierce the poisonous concealed weapon of innate qi. .

Seeing that the only chance had been lost, Duan Lingxiao's expression froze. He stood firm and focused on meeting the enemy. The five of them fought together. Although Duan Lingxiao was a master of martial arts, the four of them had already practiced the technique of joint attack. Widely opened and closed, almost undertook most of the attacks, while Zhang Jinxiong's martial arts were slanted, fierce and vicious, and the most lethal. Ling Zhenzi's chaotic cloak mentality was the best at using softness to overcome rigidity. She was not impatient, relying on lightness. If Duan Lingxiao wants to break through, he will face her all-pervasive offensive. The four of them teamed up are really powerful.Although Duan Lingxiao is worthy of being the first disciple of the Demon Sect, he handled it well without showing any signs of defeat, but it is not easy to get away, let alone there is a little Shunzi who is watching him outside.

Xiao Shunzi stood by my side, watching this battle, but didn't make a move. Firstly, he was worried about my safety, and secondly, he was studying Duan Lingxiao's flaws, hoping to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. His thoughts could not be hidden from me. , I frowned slightly, thinking about how to deal with the current situation.At this time, Hu Yanshou and Su Qing brought back more than twenty people and presented six heads, Hu Yanshou said loudly: "My lord, the six people who came with Duan Lingxiao have been beheaded, please check your lord. These people are all martial arts masters, they should be disciples of the Demon Sect, but three of our brothers were also injured."

I sighed slightly, alas, when Duan Lingxiao entered the village, the sentries I had secretly ambushed had already spotted these people who followed him, so when Duan Lingxiao killed my guards and took away the armor, I already knew he was coming, but I feel sorry for those guards, they died at the hands of the enemy at a young age, but I can do nothing, so I said lightly: "Hu Yan, take their heads as a memorial to the heroic souls of the warriors." Hu Yanshou knew what I wanted, so he didn't get up, and said: "I already knew about the ambush that your lord set up. Everyone knows the danger. Even if you lose your life, you have no regrets. Please don't blame yourself, my lord."

My heart warmed up, and I took a deep look at Hu Yanshou, and said, "If I had to let this person go, wouldn't you hate me?" Hu Yanshou was startled, but he quickly said: "Your Excellency must have thought carefully before making such a decision, and the last general and others will not complain." My heart widened, I looked at Su Qing, I saw her eyes were piercing, looking at Hu Yanshou, her expression was a little surprised, seeing me looking at her, I said: "Your Excellency has a clever plan, such a decision must have deep meaning, Su Qing supports any decision made by Your Excellency .” Only then did I feel relieved, and said: "The people Duan Lingxiao brought must be good hands. Killing these six people is enough to pay for the lives of our warriors. You should retreat first." Hu Yanshou and Su Qing retreated, and the two commanded Hu Biwei to surround the surrounding area and set up a hard-working saber formation. If Duan Lingxiao escaped from the encirclement, he would never easily break through their saber formation.The heaven and earth net has been set up, Duan Lingxiao is already an eagle in the net, and it will be difficult to escape, but I can't decide in my heart, whether to kill or not to kill. After fighting more than a hundred moves, Duan Lingxiao's heart was as clear as water. Although the four people who besieged him were all masters at the time, they were still far behind him. Although there was only a thin line of difference between nature and nurture, it was a world of difference. If there were only this The four of them struggled to get some injuries, and Duan Lingxiao was confident that he could wipe them all out, but now there are more than a hundred tigers gathered outside, and the sword array has been formed, it is difficult for him to get out, and the young man in green standing beside Jiang Zhe , although he didn't make a move, but the icy gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts. Duan Lingxiao almost used five points of his mind to guard against him.Now that the situation is dangerous, Duan Lingxiao only feels a little bit of pleasure in his heart. It is difficult for him to appreciate the excitement of life and death, but this embarrassing situation makes him even more excited. A cold light flashed in Xiao Shunzi's eyes suddenly, because he had already noticed that the battle situation on the field had changed slightly. Although Duan Lingxiao was still fighting with one against four, the four of his side were still attacking and defending alternately, both offensively and defensively. , as if a person has grown four pairs of arms, but Duan Lingxiao seems to have a well-thought-out plan and can come and go freely. Although he can't break through the siege of the four people, no matter how the four people use their strange tricks, he dissolves them invisible.Although this person is a formidable enemy, Xiao Shunzi still secretly admires him in his heart. He is very sensitive to Jiang Zhe's emotional changes. Just now, he had faintly felt that Jiang Zhe was a little worried, so he asked in a low voice: "My lord, I need to take action." .” I woke up in a jerk and looked at Duan Lingxiao who was fighting fiercely in the arena. He looked calm and graceful, and thought, if I let Xiao Shunzi be captured alive, it might hinder him from making a move. Whether Duan Lingxiao lives or dies depends on his own luck. At most, when I confronted Mozong, my expression returned to normal, and I said coldly: "Go ahead, be careful, life or death is irrelevant." Xiao Shunzi nodded slightly, and walked forward slowly, while Hu Yanshou and Su Qing stood beside me knowingly and protected me. After all, my safety is the most important thing. Does Duan Lingxiao have any special skills that can hurt both sides? If he finds a chance to hurt me, even if Duan Lingxiao is hacked into pieces, he will not be able to recover such a loss. Duan Lingxiao's heart was awe-inspiring. He naturally saw the changes outside the field. If Xiao Shunzi participated in the siege, then he would have no chance of giving birth, but he also knew that this was the only chance to escape. If Xiao Shunzi wanted to join the battle circle , then the four masters besieging him will inevitably give way to a gap, and the enemy's number one master will make a move in person. No matter what, the others will be a little lax. If they can grasp the moment when the encirclement opens and closes, they can break out , miss this opportunity, there is no hope anymore.But how to seize this opportunity?Duan Lingxiao's will to die was born in his heart, the Lingtai was completely clear, and his six senses reached the most sensitive state in his life. Although his changes were subtle, and his shots did not change much, the four people who besieged him were only a short distance away from the innate state Ripples suddenly appeared in his heart, and he knew that he had reached the critical moment of life and death, so he concentrated and prepared to let go of the defense line at the most suitable time, so that Xiao Shunzi could enter the battle.Even the ordinary tiger guards who couldn't see the mystery of this silent tension held their breath, not daring to relax in the slightest. Although I don't know martial arts, when I was in the East China Sea, I often watched Mr. Sang, Xiao Shunzi, Dong Que and others compete. With my extraordinary six senses, I can see everyone's expressions clearly, not to mention Jianghu Fighting is also a secret combination of tactics. A flash of inspiration flashed in my heart, and I suddenly understood the key to victory or defeat.When Xiao Shunzi joined the battle, the trap I carefully designed was the strongest, but the moment before this change was the weakest moment. As long as this moment passed, Duan Lingxiao had already fallen into my grasp.My heart turned, looking at Xiao Shunzi who was slowly approaching the five people who were fighting, I was thinking about how to help everyone and destroy Duan Lingxiao's chances of survival. I glanced at it, and I had already made a decision in my heart. I looked down at Su Qing beside me. He said in a loud voice, "What is your most powerful sword technique?" Su Qing said in a low voice: "Master once taught Su Qing a sword technique 'Jade and Stone Burn', but Su Qing has not practiced well enough, so he can't use it at will." Her voice was fast and low, without the slightest hesitation, and I felt a burst of admiration in my heart. She was indeed a well-trained soldier, and she didn't have the slightest intention of disobeying the orders of the superior. Swordsmanship, when Xiao Shunzi joins the encirclement, block Duan Lingxiao who took the opportunity to break through." At this time, Xiao Shunzi had already reached the periphery of the battle circle. Fortunately, he slowed down in order to let the four masters prepare to join him, otherwise I would have no time to arrange for Su Qing to block it, and Su Qing is worthy of being Wen Ziyan's disciple, Although I didn't quite understand what I said, but she understood, and when everyone was watching the battle, she moved slightly to the side, pressed her right hand on the hilt of the sword, and stared at Duan Lingxiao's every move with a pair of icy beautiful eyes, and called out Yanshou moved a step to make up for the flaw that Su Qing moved away. At this moment, the four masters who besieged Duan Lingxiao shifted their shapes and positions at the same time, and their figures were as fast as lightning. Everyone felt a blur in front of them. The four had changed their positions, and the originally tight defense line also left a vacancy. , and Xiao Shunzi appeared in that vacant seat like a ghostly phantom, and the five of them moved like a storm. The timing of the choice can be said to be perfect, but, as expected, the formation is turning into the strongest It was the weakest time before, and at the moment when the battle formation opened and closed, Duan Lingxiao's figure seemed to turn into an illusion, breaking through the encirclement like a thunderbolt, and swept towards the lake like a lightning bolt.And at this moment, everyone who saw Xiao Shunzi joining the battle felt relieved instinctively, and this almost imperceptible flaw was firmly grasped by Duan Lingxiao.The direction he chose was also carefully selected. Although this direction seems to be a desperate situation, Jiang Zhe is in this direction. Therefore, Hu Yanshou and Su Qing who protect Jiang Zhe must first do their best to protect Jiang Zhe. With his martial arts skills, it is absolutely impossible for him to kill Jiang Zhe with one blow, and Duan Lingxiao never thought about doing so, he just hoped that Lingbo would pass by and hide in the dense forest opposite. His strategy was foolproof, and when he passed Xiao Shunzi, the five of them were shocked and tried their best to stop him. God punched him in the vest, but Zhang Jinxiong's complexion suddenly turned red, he exhaled loudly, and punched him in the right rib, this is Kongtong's most profound technique - Qishangquan, this punch hides seven different strengths Dao, if it hits a human body, all the bones and meridians will be broken, but no scars can be seen on the outside, Ling Zhenzi screamed, and the tens of millions of silver wires in the whisk shook straight, and brushed towards the back of Duan Lingxiao's head, and The most threatening one is Xiao Shunzi. His martial arts are almost the same as Duan Lingxiao's. He no longer needs to use the black iron hairpin. With one finger flying towards the void, a cold and icy qi pierces Duan Lingxiao's acupoint like a sharp blade. .In this narrow space, all kinds of forces intersected and stirred, and the tiger-legged soft armor worn by Duan Lingxiao turned into pieces of butterflies. Amid the sharp wind howling, Duan Lingxiao successfully broke through the encirclement of five people, and his body shape Turning into an arc, he prepared to avoid facing Jiang Zhe directly. After all, he didn't want to fall into the siege again because of angering everyone, and if Jiang Zhe's life was in danger, that would be the most irritating thing for everyone. And just when Duan Lingxiao broke through the encirclement, a howl of swords pierced the sky, and a black figure rushed towards Duan Lingxiao's escape route from the sky. The spirit of returning, when the sword light came to him, Duan Lingxiao sighed in his heart, punched out, the fist and sword intersected, the long sword made of hundred steel was broken every inch, Su Qing flew back backwards, Duan Lingxiao also took half a step back, at this moment he left The lake is only three steps away, but it is close to the sky, and life and death are separated. Xiao Shunzi, with a frosty face, has already stood in front of Duan Lingxiao, blocking Duan Lingxiao, and the four masters have also encircled him, and the five trapped Duan Lingxiao in it , the battle formation has been completed, and there is no gap.Duan Lingxiao let out a long sigh, knowing that his only chance of survival had been cut off.His eyes passed through the crowd and landed on Jiang Zhe, only to see a faint smile on his face, as if everything was in his mind, while Su Qing stood beside him with a pale complexion, it can be seen that the sword just now was the same. It cost her a lot.Although it was Su Qing who drew the sword, Duan Lingxiao knew that Su Qing didn't have that kind of scheming to detect his opportunity to break through, and the most suspicious person was naturally Jiang Zhe who could command Su Qing.Unexpectedly, he would also lose his life at the hands of this young man, Duan Lingxiao showed a wry smile. Looking at Duan Lingxiao who was forced back to the original place by Xiao Shunzi and the other four masters, I finally felt relieved. Now Duan Lingxiao is destined to be left here. Even if he wants to be captured alive, he may not have a chance. He broke through just now. At this time, he must have been seriously injured. The interception of Xiao Shunzi and the four masters cannot be easily avoided. Now Xiao Shunzi and the others can't help but feel ashamed, and they must be more rigorous in their actions. If Duan Lingxiao can escape in such a situation, then he I'm afraid it can already be included in the first level of grand master, but in my opinion, it seems that there is no such possibility.But I really admire this person, Xiao Shunzi may be similar to him in martial arts, but his experience is much worse, after all, he is too young.But after today's battle, he should be more refined. After a while, even someone like me who doesn't know martial arts can see that Duan Lingxiao seems to have no strength to fight back, and he just persisted with his will, but Xiao Shunzi and others cooperated tacitly and became more and more handy.Just when I was wondering whether to let Xiao Shunzi capture Duan Lingxiao alive, Xiao Shunzi suddenly made a series of killer moves. I just felt that the situation in the field had changed drastically. Xiao Shunzi and Duan Lingxiao fought head-to-head , while the other four surrounded the two of them, waiting for an opportunity to attack Duan Lingxiao's weakness.Before I could react, Xiao Shunzi had already hit Duan Lingxiao on the shoulder with a palm. When Duan Lingxiao was staggering back, Fa Nin and Fa Zheng were both Shaolin masters who were proficient in grasping hands. With a stern shout, a streak of green blood shot out from his mouth. Fa Nin Fa Zheng is a Shaolin master who has a good understanding of the esoteric studies of the Demon Sect, so he tried his best to dodge and avoid the "green blood arrow" that contained Duan Ling Xiao's blood and true energy. , Duan Lingxiao got a gap, but Zhang Jinxiong and Ling Zhenzi had already filled the vacancy. Duan Lingxiao lowered his body to avoid Ling Zhenzi's whisk, but felt a pain in his right knee. The Weizhong acupoint between his knees, the icy cold energy invaded the key acupoint, Duan Lingxiao could hardly stand up, he simply knelt on his right knee, rolled over, dodging Zhang Jinxiong's palm wind in a short time.Duan Lingxiao knew that there was no hope of surviving, and he also saw that the enemy wanted to capture him alive, otherwise the two monks would not have used the grasping hand just now, and he suddenly had a decisive thought in his heart. As the head disciple of the Demon Sect and the future Sect Master of the Demon Sect, How could he be captured and humiliated, Duan Lingxiao sighed in his heart, and wanted to sever his heart sutra.Just at the critical moment, a voice suddenly shouted in everyone's ears: "Everyone stop, or I will kill this person."
