Chapter 12 Chapter Twelfth Thank You for Borrowing the Sword

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Brother Li is too modest." Hu Tiehua said: "But among the Wudang sect, there are at least five people whose skills are not weak." Li Yuhan said: "Brother Hu is talking about Wudang's head teacher and the four guardians?" Hu Tiehua said: "Not bad." Li Yuhan said: "Even if these five people all participate in the Eight Diagrams Sword Formation, there is still a difference of three. If another three people are found to make up the number, there will be a loophole in this sword formation." Hu Tiehua sighed and said, "Not bad."

Li Yuhan said: "Once there is a loophole in the sword formation, when you meet real masters, you will definitely find their weakness and attack. As long as one of them is blocked, the entire formation will not be able to move forward. At that time, eight people will join hands. It will become less convenient and effective than a person doing it alone." He smiled again, and continued: "What's more, Wudang's four great protectors may not all have the same skill, and they may not all be masters." Chu Liuxiang also smiled, and said: "Besides, the real top masters will never participate in any sword battles. When they fight, they pay attention to fighting alone. How can they join hands with others to meet the enemy?"

Li Yuhan clapped his hands and said: "That's exactly the case. In the past generations of Wudang masters, no one is willing to join the 'Bagua Sword Formation'. A sword sect as powerful as Wudang can't find eight people who can cooperate with the sword formation. , let alone others?" Hu Tiehua suddenly said loudly again: "But you have been talking for a long time, but you still haven't said what your father's wish is? You haven't said what you want us to do?" Li Yuhan said: "My father has studied every famous sword formation from ancient times to the present, and created a formation himself. He believes that no one in the world can crack this formation, but It has been unable to prove it. This is also the greatest regret in his life."

He sighed, and continued: "Because there are two biggest difficulties in proving this matter. First, although the old man has reduced the number of people in this formation to the minimum, he still cannot find six people with the same skill. Ruo's supreme master." Chu Liuxiang said: "However, in the eyes of the old man, what kind of person is considered a top expert?" Li Yuhan pondered and said: "This person's skill should at least be able to compete with the heads of the seven major sects today, and he must be a famous master of swordsmanship, for example..."

Chu Liuxiang said lightly: "For example, Shuai Yifan..." Li Yuhan didn't change his face, and sighed: "That's right, but it's a pity that it's very difficult to find one swordsman like the handsome old man. If you want to find six, it's really difficult." Chu Liuxiang's eyes flashed, and he said: "It is difficult for others to find such six masters, but with your father's popularity and reputation, it is not impossible." Li Yuhan said: "That's right, among my father's close friends and close friends, there are indeed a few who can be called top masters, but these seniors are like wandering clouds and wild cranes, wandering erratically, so my father finally found six of them until today. "

Hu Tiehua was shocked, and lost his voice: "In this way, isn't your father's wish already come true?" Li Yuhan sighed: "Brother Hu, don't forget that there is a second difficulty in this matter." Hu Tiehua said: "Is there any difficulty?" Li Yuhan said slowly: "If you want to prove whether this formation is really flawless, you must find someone to break it, but this person is even more difficult, because he must not only have superb martial arts, but also must be extremely witty. , must also have a very brilliant record, having defeated many top players."

He looked at Chu Liuxiang and smiled, and continued: "Because only such a person can test out the pros and cons of this formation, isn't it?" Chu Liuxiang remained calm and said with a smile, "But in Brother Li's mind, what kind of person is qualified?" Li Yuhan said: "After thinking about it, little brother, there is only one such person in the world." Chu Liuxiang asked, "Who is it?" Li Yuhan said, "It's Brother Chu." He stared at Chu Liuxiang, and said with a slight smile, "As long as Brother Chu is willing to make a move, my father's wish can be fulfilled."

Chu Liuxiang remained calm, and said slowly: "Does my little brother have a choice?" Li Yuhan said: "No." Hu Tiehua couldn't help jumping up anymore, and changed his color: "You actually want him to fight with six people like Shuai Yifan, don't you want his life?" Li Yuhan smiled and said nothing, and even acquiesced. Chu Liuxiang smiled lightly and said, "You don't have to worry, I got my life anyway, if I can die in 'Yongcui Villa', wouldn't it be considered a worthy death?" Hu Tiehua was startled, then pulled him aside suddenly, and whispered, "You...are you sure?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "No." Hu Tiehua paused and said: "Since you are not sure, why do you still tell me not to worry?" Chu Liuxiang said: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of worrying?" Hu Tiehua rolled his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Let's rush out now, I'm afraid it's too late." Chu Liuxiang sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's too late." The bamboo curtain has been rolled up again, and several people have filed in. These people were all wearing pure black, extremely soft silk robes.The gleaming silk robes were as soft as running water, but when they walked, they didn't even fluctuate in the silk robes that were as soft as running water.

Their footsteps are as smooth as running water and as light as ghosts. Their faces were also covered with a layer of black silk scarves, and even their eyes were covered. No one could recognize who they were? When they acted, there was a natural and intimidating majesty revealed. Although no one could see their identities, no one dared to despise them a little bit. The first person, tall and thin, stood upright like a gun, holding a strangely shaped bronze sword in his hand. The second person is short and thin.The third person is tall and burly.When the two of them walked together, they looked extraordinarily dazzling and prominent.

The swords in the palms of these two people are all shining brightly, which is obviously extraordinary, but the shape of the swords is not special, anyone can tell the origin of the two swords. The fourth person has a very ordinary figure and uses a very ordinary bronze sword. Even if he is walking on the road, no one will take a second look at him. The fifth man was short and fat, with a protruding belly like a bead, and the sword in his palm was neither metal nor iron. Upon closer inspection, he turned out to be made of wood. None of these five people spoke or moved, but as soon as they walked in, the hall seemed to be filled with a murderous aura immediately, which made people shudder. Hu Tiehua couldn't help being even more worried about Chu Liuxiang, because he could tell at a glance that none of these five people was under Shuai Yifan, regardless of their status, status, or martial arts. Chu Liuxiang still had a smile on his face, clasped his fists at the five people, and said: "I heard that there are several peerless masters in the 'Yongcui Villa', and I know that today I will be able to bet on the demeanor of the senior masters. I am really overjoyed. Who Knowing that the seniors are unwilling to show the true face of Lushan, it is a pity." The five men in black just stood motionless, and no one spoke. Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Even if the seniors don't want to show their true colors, why bother to cover their eyes?" The tall and burly man in black suddenly said: "I control the sword with my heart, why do I need eyes?" Although he only spoke ten short words, the entire hall seemed to be filled with his resonant voice, and even the teacups on the table were shaken. Chu Liuxiang said: "I also know that famous players have their own sense of propriety, and there is no need to look at it with their eyes, but don't seniors want to see what kind of person is today's opponent?" This time no one answered him again. After a while, Li Yuhan smiled slightly and said: "These five seniors have never joined hands in battle with others in their lives, and they will never join hands with others after today, so they don't have to reveal their identities in front of you, and they can also fight with others." I don't need to know who you are, these five seniors are just wishing for my father today." Chu Liuxiang smiled faintly: "That's right, I also know that these five seniors came here today because of their friendship with your father, but what happened today is your father's wish, or is it just Your Excellency's wish?" Li Yuhan's face changed color, and he said, "Of course it's my father's wish." Chu Liuxiang stared at him, and said slowly: "Then, is your father's wish just to try this formation? Or do you want to kill me?" Li Yuhan's face was pale, and he couldn't answer for a while. Liu Wumei smiled sweetly and said, "No matter what, it doesn't make any difference." Chu Liuxiang said, "Oh?" Liu Wumei's charming eyes suddenly became as sharp as knives and scissors, she stared at him and said word by word: "Because if there is no flaw in this formation, your Excellency will inevitably become the sacrifice of this formation." Chu Liuxiang said: "What if there is a flaw in this formation?" Liu Wumei said abruptly: "Even if there are flaws in this formation, but after the hands of the five seniors used it, I'm afraid your Excellency will not be able to get out!" Chu Liuxiang raised his head and laughed loudly: "That's right, even if this formation is full of flaws, even if it fails to form a formation, with these five seniors fighting together, no one in the world can resist it." Liu Wumei said: "Not bad." Chu Liuxiang said: "Then, why do you bother to talk about formations, what are the advantages and disadvantages? Why don't you simply say that you want to leave my life here today, wouldn't it be much simpler and clearer?" Liu Wumei said: "There are some differences." Chu Liuxiang said, "Oh?" Liu Wumei said: "These five seniors are fighting together, although you can't resist, you can escape. Your Excellency's lightness kung fu is unparalleled in the world, everyone knows that." Chu Liuxiang said: "It's too much." Liu Wumei said: "But once the formation is activated, even if you have wings on your back, you will never be able to escape." Chu Liuxiang was silent for a while, then slowly said: "What is the deep hatred between you and Xian and his wife that you must leave your life here?" Liu Wumei rolled his eyes, and said coldly: "I said earlier, this is not what we mean, it is what my father means." The old man Li Guanyu was still sitting there in a daze, just lowering his eyes, staring at the long sword of autumn water in front of him. Chu Liuxiang sighed, and murmured: "Whether it is his intention or not, no one can ask anyway." Hu Tiehua suddenly said loudly: "This formation requires at least six people, right?" His eyes flickered, and he continued: "But now there are only five." Liu Wumei said: "Not bad." Hu Tiehua was secretly happy, couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm afraid you never thought that Shuai Yifan would leave without saying goodbye." Liu Wumei said coldly: "It doesn't matter whether the handsome old man comes or not." Hu Tiehua suddenly stopped laughing, and said: "It's okay? How can it be okay? If there is one less person in the formation..." Liu Wumei interrupted his words with a smile, and said: "Haven't you heard of it, sometimes you can make up for it by being abusive." She ignored Hu Tiehua, turned around and bowed deeply to the five men in black, and said: "The juniors have also practiced this formation before, and I have kept it in mind until now. The handsome old senior has not arrived, and the junior can only make up for it. A lot of maintenance, the younger generation is grateful." The five men in black neither agreed nor objected. The thin and tall man in black suddenly said: "Why don't you let your husband-in-law do it?" Liu Wumei was startled and said: "This..." The short man in black said sharply: "Do you think your swordsmanship is better than the heirs of the Li family?" In the sound of drinking, the sword in his palm has turned into ten thousand points of silver stars and sprinkled down. Liu Wumei's eyes were fixed on the silver stars all over the sky, but her body didn't move, she didn't even dodge and parry, as if she had already realized that this sword move was a false move. The sky full of silver stars arrived in front of her, and miraculously disappeared. The skinny man in black said: "How?" The short man in black said: "It's okay." Liu Wumei said sweetly: "Thank you, senior." She suddenly turned around and walked in front of Li Guanyu, bowed and said, "My daughter would like to ask you, old man, to appreciate the sword." The old man gave her a blank look, then lowered his head again. But Liu Wumei bowed again: "Thank you for your kindness, old man." She actually took the sword in front of the old man while talking to herself. The muscles on the old man's face seemed to tremble for a while, and a spark burst out of his eyes, but he didn't even say a word. Hu Tiehua rushed over suddenly and stood beside Chu Liuxiang. Chu Liuxiang said: "What are you going to do?" Hu Tiehua said loudly: "Since there are six of them, why can't we have two?" Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly and said, "Why two people?" Hu Tiehua said: "Two people are better than one." Chu Liuxiang sighed: "If two people die together, no one will be better." Hu Tiehua clenched his fists tightly, and before he could speak, Liu Wumei said leisurely: "You'd better listen to him! He may have a chance to escape by himself, but if you are added, there will be no chance of even half a chance." .” Hu Tiehua's face was flushed, and he stared at Chu Liuxiang and said, "You... don't you want to fight with me?" Chu Liuxiang held his hand and said slowly: "If you think about it carefully, you will understand what I mean." When he was speaking, he had already written a word on Hu Tiehua's palm: "Save". Naturally, what he meant was to ask Hu Tiehua to rescue Su Rongrong and the others. Because now Li Yuhan and his wife are in this hall and they will never leave, other places in "Yongcui Villa" must be very empty. This is a great opportunity to save lives. Hu Tiehua let out a long breath and said, "I understand." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Very well, I know you will never let me down." While talking, he wrote a word on Hu Tiehua's palm: "Go". This meant that Hu Tiehua would leave immediately after rescuing them. Hu Tiehua's face changed color again, and he lost his voice: "But you..." Chu Liuxiang squeezed his hand with his hands, and said with a smile: "If you are my good friend, you should let me concentrate on doing it. You should always know my temper. If something else distracts my heart, I will give it to you." There is really no chance of winning by half a point." Hu Tiehua was silent for a while, then nodded heavily, only to feel that Chu Liuxiang's hand was still so warm and firm, but his own hand had become cold. He couldn't help but shook Chu Liuxiang's hand vigorously, and couldn't bear to let go for a long time, as if this was the last handshake between them. Chu Liuxiang patted him on the shoulder, and the two faced each other, concentrating on each other for a while, then, Chu Liuxiang suddenly turned around, and said slowly: "I'm ready, seniors, please take action!" Hu Tiehua is not a sentimental person, and has always been confident in Chu Liuxiang's martial arts, but now, his eyes are a little red for some reason. Liu Wumei looked at Chu Liuxiang and smiled sweetly, "You still don't use weapons?" Chu Liuxiang said lightly: "At this time, it doesn't matter whether you use a weapon or not anyway." The short and fat man in black suddenly laughed, and said: "This man is quite courageous." Chu Liuxiang said: "Senior has won the award, but in fact, I have never been very courageous. Every time I fight against others, I am very scared in my heart, but after I make a move, I forget my fear." When he said the last sentence, he suddenly shot out like lightning, with his fingers curled like hooks, and with a move of "Double Dragon Seizes the Pearl", he directly grabbed Liu Wumei's eyes. Liu Wumei was caught by surprise and backed away in shock. Who would have thought that Chu Liuxiang's move was a false move, he struck out with his left hand, and the thumb and index finger of his right hand pinched the tip of the sword in Liu Wumei's palm. Liu Wumei only felt a strange vibration, transmitted from the sword body, which made her wrist numb and numb, and she could no longer hold the long sword. Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Thank you Madam for borrowing the sword, thank you very much."
