Chapter 135 Chapter Six: Hard Fight on the Hill

Day will break. Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong lay in a sparse forest on the slope of a small hill at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain in the southeast of Luoyang, and in the distance below is the tributary of Yingshui rushing by. This is the place where they agreed to meet Ba Fenghan.Four short bamboo poles that only three people understand inside and outside are arranged in azimuth, indicating the location of the two people hiding. But Ba Fenghan still didn't show up. Kou Zhong looked up at the stars in the sky, and sighed: "In a different situation, the whole world is different. Usually we don't look at the sky so wholeheartedly. The more we look at the sky, the more we realize how careless we were before."

Xu Ziling pointed to a cluster of light in the sky and said: "That is the Pleiades star cluster, which is composed of seven brighter main stars, so it is also called the Seven Sisters star cluster." Kou Zhong was stunned and said, "How do you know such a profound name?" Xu Ziling shrugged and said, "I learned it all from Mr. Lu's book. Isn't it interesting to know two more stars?" Kou Zhongdao: "Can you tell me something? Then next time I watch the sky, I can show my prestige in front of people!" Xu Ziling said: "There are two brothers in one world, what can I teach you?"

Kou Zhongxi said: "This sentence is always said by me. It is the first time to solve the problem from your mouth." Xu Ziling sighed: "What difference does it make if we don't say it? In fact, we are closer than brothers. Closer to home, if you want to recognize the stars, you must first understand the distinction between Sanyuan and Twenty-Eight Mansions. Sanyuan is Ziwei, Taiwei and Tianshu In the twenty-eight mansions, there are seven mansions in the southeast, north and west, adding up to twenty-eight mansions!" Kou Zhonggan smiled and said, "Hey! Just learn that much first, and remember the location and name of the twenty-eight mansions in the next lesson."

Then Cha went to another place and said: "In the daytime fight with the Yaoyao, the difference between victory and defeat is only a thin line. If you miss, it will be us, not the Yaoyao, who will escape with injuries or not. It is really dangerous." Xu Ziling said: "If skill can be measured with a scale, the demon girl will never be as good as the sum of the three of us. But she can use various situations and add endless magic skills to play us in the palm of her hand. She miscalculated me, and Lao Ba's sword may not be able to hurt her." Kou Zhong nodded in agreement, and said: "But Lao Ba's sword is really extraordinary, even if the demon girl blocks it, she will be injured, alas! It's almost dawn, why hasn't Lao Ba arrived yet?"

After saying that, he sat up. Xu Ziling was still watching the sky with all his attention, fascinated by it. Kou Zhong looked around, suddenly his whole body trembled, and he pointed towards the upstream of Yingshui. Xu Ziling woke up like a dream, and when he sat up, Kou Zhong had already bounced up, soaring into the sky, and hurled himself towards Yingshui like a shooting star. When Xu Ziling rushed to the shore, Kou Zhong was still holding the Zhanxuan sword in his right hand, and Ba Fenghan, who was as pale as a dead man, jumped up from the water. Xu Ziling took his long sword, Ba Fenghan moaned: "Go! Qu Ao is here!"

The two of them were taken aback, and carried Ba Fenghan and Luohuang to flee. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling took turns carrying Ba Fenghan on their backs, and ran for more than 30 miles at a stretch. They specifically searched for the deep forest to get in, on the one hand, they could avoid people's eyes and eyes, and on the other hand, there were many streams in the forest for them to wade through. And line, making it difficult for the enemy to track. In the afternoon, they couldn't move any longer, so they found a cave to rest, and used Qi to heal Ba Fenghan's injuries. The innate qi fruit of "The Secret of Longevity" is extraordinary. Within half an hour, Ba Fenghan's face returned to blood, and after spitting out two mouthfuls of blood, his breathing became smoother, and he sighed: "This trip is really a fluke, if you hadn't been in time Lift me from the river, lest I be drowned."

Xu Ziling asked concerned: "How is your situation now?" Ba Feng snorted coldly: "Although Qu Ao's Nine Transformations of Condensation is powerful, it still can't kill me. As long as there are three more hours, and with your help, I will be able to fully recover." Then he said distressedly: "I still don't understand why he can catch up with me. But he obviously consumed a lot of real energy because of rushing, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use the cliff to distance myself from him, and use the water to escape gone." Kou Zhongdao: "Let's talk about it later! Now we can only pray to the gods and worship the Buddha. I hope Qu Ao will not come here within these three hours, otherwise it will be terrible!"

Time passed minute by minute. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling took turns infusing Qi to heal Ba Fenghan's injuries, while the other went outside the cave to guard. At dusk, it was Xu Ziling's turn to watch outside the cave. He chose a nearby jagged boulder that was quite hidden from the view of the entire mountainous area below, and sat down. In the beautiful scenery of the setting sun, you can see the towering cliffs, the green water flowing between the two mountains, the lush water plants in the river, and the thick green water plants reflecting the river water into a dark color, especially the strong contrast of Zengdan Mountain's green water.

Three sailboats just came into his field of vision, with gurgling water and green trees, time seemed to have stopped at this moment.It was an unprecedented feeling. What is moving is not the sailboat, but Xu Ziling and the entire mountains lined with dangerous peaks, while the flowing water is moving at another speed. In Xu Ziling's heart, there was no worry or joy, and he was peaceful. The field of his thoughts and feelings expanded, and the zhenqi in his body swirled surgingly, and the exhaustion from traveling and healing Ba Fenghan was swept away. I don't know how much time has passed, the sun has long been below the western mountain, and a gust of evening wind blows, mixed with the sound of clothes flapping through the air.

Without the slightest fear in his heart, Xu Ziling slowly closed his eyes. The visitor kept approaching, just listening to their speed, one knew that if it wasn't Qu Ao, it was a top-notch expert like Houhou. Xu Ziling let out a long roar, jumped up, and landed on the top of the slope where weeds and trees were overgrown. Qu Ao, the "Flying Eagle", known as the number one master of Tie Le, just reached the foot of the slope and stopped suddenly. Qu Ao is tall and thin, but he can give people the feeling of being straight and tough.His skin is dark from long-term exposure, and he has a sheep's face, but the outline is clear and powerful like a knife, coupled with a pair of sharp eyes like a falcon, there is indeed an intimidating demeanor without anger .

Just meeting each other, Xu Ziling felt from his twinkling eyes that Qu Ao was a conceited, selfish, sinister and cunning person. This kind of person would center everything on himself, as if he thought he had the privileges given to him by God, but Run amok. There is a distance of three zhang between the two of them now, but Qu Ao's gesture is not seen, a cold murderous aura emanating from him has already rolled towards Xu Ziling like a surging tide. Xu Ziling stood proudly, raised his skills secretly, and countered the opponent's unstoppable vigor, and said indifferently: "I killed your son, if you want revenge, do it!" Qu Ao's eyes sparkled brightly, and he said in surprise, "Boy, you have such a stubborn temper, how many tricks do you think you can do with me?" Originally, Qu Ao planned to knock him down with a thunderous force and capture him alive as soon as he came up, so that he could calmly deal with the other two, and then punish the three so that they could not survive or die, so as to vent their hatred of Ai'er being killed. Little did he know that Xu Ziling stood at the top with an invincible and invulnerable spirit. In such a situation, even with Qu Ao's ability, he had to fight with all his strength. At that time, life and death were fighting, killing was easy, but capturing alive was impossible. Qu Ao is a generation of martial arts masters, so he buried his aura to disintegrate Xu Ziling from the bottom of his heart, as long as the opponent calculates how many moves he can block him, he will naturally feel incapable, and his aura will decrease accordingly. Xu Ziling smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Qu is still so naive at such an age. I'm recharging my energy now, and I have a helping hand by my side. But after two days of driving, Mr. Qu once again risked his life to fight , has become a tired soldier, don't miss it for a while, and the fame you have built up through exhaustion will be in vain." Qu Ao was stunned, feeling Xu Ziling's strength for the first time. What puzzled him the most was that the other party was full of energy, and did not consume his true energy due to hard work and trekking throughout the day, so that he was completely exhausted. This is completely impossible. Although he injured Ba Fenghan earlier, the victory was not easy; he also suffered some internal injuries from Ba Fenghan's counterattack, and he had not yet recovered from chasing the enemy, as Xu Ziling said, he became a tired soldier. The most powerful part of Xu Ziling's remarks was that he pointed out that because of his age and reputation, he was far behind him. Losing was not a big deal, but he absolutely couldn't afford to lose. Suddenly, Qu Ao felt unpredictable towards Xu Ziling. In the past, every time he faced an enemy, he could see his opponent thoroughly, but this time was an exception. Even if it's Bi Xuan and Ning Daoqi's generation, at this time they put themselves in his place and replace him, the same troubles and doubts will arise. Even Xu Ziling himself is aware of the situation at hand but doesn't know why. It is all because "The Secret of Longevity" is a secret that has not been handed down through the ages. It coincides with the principles of heaven and man. Everything comes from nature. Just now, Xu Ziling got it by accident, embedded in the indescribable, omnipresent, invisible, and intangible way of heaven. Eight's true energy is supplemented, and it is more refined. I wonder who can understand such a mysterious truth. Qu Aoben also had the feeling that he couldn't say enough about him, but he has been famous for decades, his mind is as firm as a rock, and he would never feel discouraged because of this. With a cold snort, lightning rushed towards Xu Ziling at the top of the slope. Unexpectedly by Qu Ao, Xu Ziling also charged obliquely, and rushed towards Qu Ao in the air. Qu Ao originally thought that Xu Ziling would stick to the top of the slope, not allowing him to cross the thunder pool half a step, lest he deal with Ba Fenghan and Kou Zhong who were hiding. But now that Xu Ziling is letting go of everything and attacking with all his strength without any scruples, how can he not be stunned. But at this moment, there is no room for thinking too much, Qu Ao stretched out his fingers, and with his toes forcefully, he charged obliquely to meet him. The strong momentum produced by his fingers sealed Xu Ziling's coming and going, forcing him to fight hard. Xu Ziling saw that Qu Ao's claws were mysterious and unpredictable, stretching and contracting indefinitely, elusive, and extremely tightly sealed, but because of a change in the middle of the move, he changed to focus on defense; Raised by half a zhang, condescending, both fists struck hard into Qu Ao's claw shadow. The sound of energy colliding could not stop ringing. In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged more than ten strokes. Amidst the muffled sound, Xu Ziling floated back to the top of the slope, staggered, and then stood firm. The trouser leg on the side of his left leg was shattered, and two bloodstains appeared. Qu Ao was standing in the middle of the slope, his face was ashen, and his eyes flashed fiercely. After all, he had already shot with all his strength, how could Xu Ziling's strange moves repeatedly defuse his sure-to-kill moves, how could he not be ashamed and contemptuous. Xu Ziling laughed and said, "I said earlier that you are tired, Mr. Qu! You still have to be brave and make a move, let's see!" Even Qu Ao paid respect to his bravery this time, just now Xu Ziling could be said to have narrowly escaped death, if he hadn't escaped the attack on his lower hips in danger and blocked his delicate claw with the side of his leg, it would have been early at this time lie on the floor. Now that the blood hadn't stopped, he made a comeback again, which suddenly made Qu Ao look at him differently, and his heart became more murderous. I didn't see what he was doing, he had already greeted Xu Ziling, and said with a smile: "Try another trick!" Xu Ziling saw that he was slashing with his palm, and there were countless changes hidden in his body and footwork, which completely enveloped him in the undulating and ensuing energy, knowing that Qu Ao was angry and shot with all his strength, If he dared to fight hard, he took three steps back, and then punched in the empty space. With Qu Ao's cultivation, he was also surprised. This punch made no sense in the eyes of outsiders, but it just happened to seal the change of his moves. Assuming that he continues to attack with his palm in the same way as before, he will definitely be blocked by the opponent's sharp fist before changing his move. It was the first time in his life that he encountered such a strange move. If you are in the best state in normal times, even if you don't have time to regenerate new strength, you are confident that you can shock the opponent with blood and fall back with this punch, but now you are exhausted, and you can only use the usual six or seven successes. Hit, absolutely not take much advantage. Qu Ao yelled angrily, moved sideways, and kicked towards the empty door on Xu Ziling's right flank with his side leg. Xu Ziling saw that the strange trick worked, his spirits were lifted, his confidence increased, and thousands of palm images appeared in his hands, and he rushed towards Qu Ao madly. Qu Ao saw that this younger generation took this opportunity to take the initiative to attack, and almost went mad with anger. He quickly gathered his mind and unfolded the "Thirteen Stances of Eagle Transformation" that contained the condensed and magical skills. This "Thirteen Movements of Eagle Transformation" is actually the essence of Qu Ao's own martial arts. It simplifies the complicated and incomparably complicated changes of palms, fingers, and claws into the thirteen movements. Movement, changeless, unpredictable, like an eagle flying in the sky, the accuracy and subtlety of swooping down on its prey. Xu Ziling only felt a blur in front of his eyes, Qu Ao had already flown above, and launched a quick attack towards him with quicksilver pouring down the ground, penetrating into every hole.The initiative is back in the opponent's hands. Xu Ziling knew that no matter his experience, martial arts, or vision, he was far behind the opponent, so he had no choice but to clenched his teeth, focusing on dodging, supplemented by sealing frames, coupled with his outstanding swordsmanship, he struggled against the opponent's strength. The Yangtze River, the violent offensive pouring down. Qu Ao bounced up and down, attacking Xu Ziling wave after wave like a flying eagle. "Wow!" Xu Ziling spurted blood and fell to the ground, kicked his right foot and hit Qu Ao's stabbed fingertip, the situation was extremely critical. Qu Ao ascended to the height of Zhangxu again, and shouted: "This moment next year will be your death day." Press down with both palms. Xu Ziling rolled down the slope quickly, and immediately collapsed in place, revealing two palm prints. Qu Ao exhausted his true energy in one breath, and landed on the slope. Suddenly the wind of saber and sword came through the air from behind. "boom!" Xu Ziling, who managed to stand up, fell to the ground and couldn't get up. In the fleeting scene, Qu Ao already knew by his internal observation skills that he had killed Xu Ziling just now, and performed the "Thirteen Eagle Transformation Styles" that should never be used indiscriminately when his true energy is depleted, and now there is nothing left To cope with the joint attack of Ba Fenghan and Kou Zhong. Making a quick decision, Qu Ao moved away, submerging into the dark place in the mountains. Ba Fenghan and Kou Zhong appeared at the top of the slope majesticly, watching Qu Ao disappear without a trace, then looked down at Xu Ziling who was trying to get up, then looked at each other with wry smiles, and fell to the ground together, except Can't speak anything but gasp.
