Chapter 534 Chapter 9: The True Color of the Evil King

Xu Ziling left the small river and went ashore to continue his journey, feeling completely refreshed. There is no experience that feels more like returning to nature than diving in the water. Just now, under absolute relaxation, he entered a deep and sober semi-sleep state. His mind and consciousness are still active, but his body is in a state of rest. The sun and the moon move around, and the air flows from the left and right Yongquan acupoints respectively. The left side is hot and the right side is cold, and the yin and yang are harmonious, which immediately improves his internal injuries.

Facing the cold night wind, although his clothes were drenched, he didn't feel cold, and the water vapor was evaporated due to the healing of Qi. When the Jingpo Lake forest area was in sight, his clothes were already dry. Although he suffered repeated setbacks and caused more injuries, it could make his healing method to a higher level and push the reclining meditation to a new level. He even faintly felt that after absorbing the essence of the evil emperor's relic, it was only now that he had completely integrated with the true energy in his body. He didn't dare to think about Shi Feixuan, he was afraid that he would be impatient because of this, so he just decided to arrive at the position of the evil emperor relic, and then make plans.

Xu Ziling walked through the forest, wondering if this is the location of the Jingbo Pavilion by the lake? Naturally, he groped towards the tall tree where he, Shi Feixuan and Kou Zhong were secretly watching Jingbo Pavilion from a distance last night. Suddenly, the beautiful figure of concubine Xuan crossing her knees on the branch of the big tree came into view. The fairy turned her head to look at him, her brows were slightly frowned, Xu Ziling could understand her clearly, "You man! Why did you still come here?" mind. Xu Ziling was overjoyed, but at the same time puzzled. Kou Zhong and Da Dazhi still kept sprinting at the fastest speed, what they were afraid of was Shen Mohuan's Feiyun Bow.

Kou Zhong pulled out Jing Zhongyue and said with a smile to Da Da Zhichang: "If you kill one, you will return the money, and if you kill a pair, you will make money. This is a good deal!" Dazhi glanced back, showing a puzzled expression. Kou Zhong also felt strange, it turned out that the soldiers from Shen Mohuan's side reined in their horses one after another, causing the horses to neigh and fall back, and the situation was chaotic. The two stopped, and the knights on the other side rushed forward, looking more clearly, Kou Zhong was startled and said, "It's my brother Gunatai."

A voice came and said: "Young Commander, please come and be safe!" Kou Zhong was overjoyed when he heard the sound, "Where are you going, Lao Ba! It made us worry for days." Apart from Belegunatai and Bugunatai, the leader is Ba Fenghan who has not been seen for a long time. More than 500 fighters came galloping like a whirlwind, fanned out, and formed a confrontation with the more than 300 fighters on Shen Mohuan's side. The strength and weakness were clear and distinct. Kou Zhong and Da Da Zhijue were born together, and their lives were taken back. They were overjoyed for no reason.Ba Fenghan and Gunatai brothers galloped up to the two of them, the three looked at Dazhi with burning eyes, and Kou Zhong quickly introduced him.

Ba Fenghan jumped off his horse, and laughed in Turkic dialect that the Gunatai brothers could understand: "Meeting is better than being famous, even if I, Ba Fenghan, think about it, I can't think of why the two of you are walking together. But this Tell me later, dealing with Shen Mohuan is more important than this." Knowing heroes and valuing heroes, although it is difficult to distinguish friend from foe, the Belgunatai brothers are still very friendly to Dazhi. Da Zhi paid special attention to Ba Fenghan, and said: "If there is a chance, I will definitely learn Brother Ba's Xuanxuan Sword."

Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "The little brother will get what he wants. But no matter how the sword is not Zhanxuan, it has been changed to stealing the sky." Moved to Kou Zhong's side, hugged him happily and said: "You are really lucky, we are not guarding here because we know you will be hunted down, but because we are going to ambush and intercept Lao Bai's batch of bows and arrows. Whatever you give me, my younger brother will definitely take care of it for you." Then his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he threw himself towards the enemy formation about a thousand steps away, and said in a deep voice: "What tactics should we use this time, so that we can kill the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor behind?"

Belgunate frowned and said: "Although we have more than two hundred people more than the opponent, we can expect a great victory. But Shen Mohuan is the best at escaping. If he escapes into the woods, it is very likely that we will fall short." Kou Zhong inspected the wound in his body, found that he had recovered six to seven successes, and the wound was almost healed. He was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly thought that this speeding healing method must be created by himself. He said: "Little brother has a proposal, and Bao Bao Shen Mohuan will not refuse, but the problem is that he can only kill Shen Mohuan, but let the others go."

Dazhi was shocked and said: "How can this be done? Shenmo Huanfei is a woman who only knows how to embroider, and you have not recovered from your internal injuries. It's too risky!" Ba Han looked at Kou Zhong in astonishment, and said, "Who can hurt you? Where's Xiao Ling?" Kou Zhong laughed and said: "This matter is a long story, I will report it to your elder brother later." Turning to Brother Gunatai, he said, "If I only kill Shen Mohuan on your behalf, do you have any objections?" Belgunatai said: "As long as he can be killed, other people are of no importance. Mu Ling has never been able to convince the crowd, and she will not do anything, but..."

Kou Zhong interrupted him and said, "Don't worry, do I seem to be someone who is so stupid that I would willingly dedicate my precious life to Shen Mohuan?" Pat Dazhi on the shoulder first, reassuring him, and began to take three steps forward and shouted in Turkic language: "Shen Mohuan, do you have the guts to fight alone with me, Kou Zhong?" After a tight silence, Shen Mohuan's voice came over and said: "Kou Zhong, are you looking for death? Ha! I have to betray such a trick, you just want to pester me, and then attack Humph! Don't think I'll fall for it, let anyone who has the guts come over, let's face each other with swords and guns, and see who is tougher."

Kou Zhong cursed secretly, "Treat my gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain", laughed and said: "So, you made up your mind to run away. Or you taught your subordinates to die for you, but you ran away yourself." Shen Mohuan said angrily, "Am I this kind of person?" Belgunathi chimed in and said: "In this case, you will fight to the death with the young commander. If you, Shen Mohuan, win, I swear by the spirit of the Zongzong that I will never intervene if you run away before sunrise." There was silence in the field, except for the whistling of the night wind, and the people on both sides waited quietly for Shen Mohuan's reaction. Kou Zhong was not worried about Shen Mo Huan's refusal.Shen Mohuan is more aware of the seriousness of his injury than anyone else, this is a golden opportunity to take Kou Zhong's life, and the whole army can withdraw safely, what could be more cost-effective than this. After Shen Mohuan whispered to Mu Ling who was beside him, he shouted back: "Since you Kou Zhong don't want to live, I will help you." The soldiers on both sides shouted at the same time, their murderous aura gathered for a moment, and the atmosphere of decisive battle enveloped the grassland. As long as there is a fairy by your side, it is like being able to leave this cruel reality full of vendetta and arrive at the paradise of the fairy world. Looking in the direction of the pavilion, Zhu Yuyan sat down facing the lake with them behind her back, steadfastly motionless.There was no light on the side of Maji's camp, it was obvious that the big fat man had already evacuated in a panic. Xu Ziling became confused and let go of his thoughts, because they obviously haven't met Shi Zhixuan yet. Shi Feixuan said softly when he approached, "Where is Kou Zhong?" Xu Ziling said: "He went to look for Shen Mohuan's bad luck, he didn't know that I would come here." Concubine Xuan Xiu frowned slightly and said, "How did you know you wanted to come here?" Xu Ziling said: "I sense the evil spirit of the relic." Shi Feixuan frowned even deeper, and said in surprise: "Could it be that Empress Zhu is lying to me, she said that she has never been able to sense the location of the relic." Xu Ziling was stunned and said: "There is such a thing. But I only sensed the relic for a certain moment, and I didn't feel it again after that." Concubine Shixuan pondered for a while, then sighed softly: "I suddenly have a very ominous premonition." Xu Ziling asked, "Why are you here?" Concubine Shixuan said: "After I found Zhu, she received a note from Shi Zhixuan asking her to settle their grievances here at 2 o'clock tonight. Ah! Come on!" Xu Ziling watched intently, a small boat was slowly rowing towards the Jingbo Pavilion, and the tall and graceful Shi Zhixuan stood at the stern of the boat, easily shaking the oars, and sang: "Life in the world is like a traveler from afar. Fighting wine and entertainment, chatting thickly Don't be thin; drive a chariot and ride a horse, play Wan and Luo." Xu Ziling was in a daze when he heard that, didn't Shi Zhixuan want to kill Zhu Yuyan?Why do you seem to be on a lover's date? Zhu Yuyan remained motionless, she seemed to turn a blind eye to Shi Zhixuan who came by boat, and turned a deaf ear to his desolate singing. Shen Mohuan was dressed in night travel clothes, holding his snake-shaped gun, strode out, came to the middle of the two teams, and shouted at Kou Zhong in Turkic dialect: "Kou Kou, get out and die!" Ba Fenghan and others came to Kou Zhong's left and right sides, Da Zhi approached Kou Zhong and said in a low voice: "This guy is full of confidence, you have to be careful." Ba Fenghan asked in surprise: "Kao Zhi, when did you become Kou Zhong's friend or brother?" The Gunatai brothers also showed a look of attention, obviously puzzled by this. Da Zhi sighed: "This matter is really difficult to describe, but our hostile position has not changed, unless the young commander is willing to submit to the Great Khan." Kou Zhong, on the other hand, was staring at Shen Mohuan who was five hundred paces away, not letting go of any slight movements or inconspicuous expressions on his face, and said in a deep voice, "If I can't kill him within ten swords, you should attack immediately. At the same time trying to save my little life." Bugu Natai lost his voice and said: "Ten knives, the young commander is sure to kill him within ten knives? Young commander, don't underestimate this person, his snake spear is famous in the Gobi, otherwise it will not be around for many years, and no one can control it .” Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "I bet that Kou Zhong can kill him within eight swords, who dares to bet against me." Da Zhi smiled bitterly: "If it were Kou Zhong before the injury, I would never dare to bet with you, but now I don't want to bet because I don't want to win." Kou Zhong took a deep breath, and said lightly: "Then eight knives! If it doesn't work, it's better if you don't use it to save me, because it will make my determination not strong enough, damn it! Let you see what Kou Zhong is Press the skills at the bottom of the box!" Take a step forward. Looking at his back, the four most famous young masters on the prairie all showed expressions of respect, Kou Zhong's demeanor is really heart-wrenching. Shen Mohuan was only of medium build, with a gloomy face, which gave people a feeling of coldness and ruthlessness.The eyes are full of energy, sparkling and energetic, and on the narrow and long face, they are extraordinarily intimidating, and they are the kind of people who have been proud of themselves for a long time. However, Kou Zhong knew it, because he once boasted that he would kill Shen Mohuan tonight, so even if he took his life to fight, he would kill Shen Mohuan with Jing Zhongyue.And because there is not much time left, he must rush back to Zhongtu as soon as possible and try to defend Luoyang to the death.But if Shen Mohuan is allowed to escape tonight, if he doesn't spend more time to kill this guy, how will he explain to Master Jian. Fortunately, he realized his unique healing method of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth while running for his life just now. Not only was the few remaining true energy not lost, but it also returned to 60 to 70% of the usual level.But the biggest problem is excessive blood loss, which cannot be recovered and replenished in just one night.Qi and blood are related to each other, and they depend on each other. He set a limit of ten swords, just to force himself to fight quickly, because he really couldn't support a long and bitter fight. The first knife is the key, he must seize the initiative, and then use all his strength to use the knife to control the opponent so that he cannot counterattack. Only then can he kill a martial artist as powerful as Shen Mohuan within eight swords. Ba Fenghan's betting on him to win by eight swords was not just a casual remark, but a reminder.Remind him that as long as he uses the "Eight Techniques in the Well" with all his strength, Shen Mohuan will be filled with hatred on the spot. Kou Zhong's footsteps accelerated, Jing Zhongyue pointed forward, seemingly attacking but not attacking, seemingly defending but not defending, the blade continued to strengthen the threat to the opponent with the momentum of walking. The first formula is "no attack". This move is used in this way, it is no longer a defensive lure, but a powerful move for the main attack. Shen Mohuan obviously couldn't see through Kou Zhong's innocence, with a serious expression on his face. The long spear moved to the front of the body, lightly holding one end of the serpentine spear with both hands, the tip of the spear trembled, waiting for the opportunity to fire. When Kou Zhong was half a foot away, he yelled wildly, and the snake-shaped gun pierced out, directly hitting Kou Zhong's throat. The opponent assassinated. Mu Ling, who was behind Shen Mohuan, gave a sharp shout, and all the subordinates immediately shouted in unison, cheering for the leader. The sound of people roared to the ground. Shi Zhixuan, dressed as a Confucian scholar, flew ashore leisurely, holding a jar of wine in his left hand, and walked slowly into the pavilion. Shi Concubine Xuan's delicate body trembled slightly, and she leaned into Xu Ziling's ear and said, "This is Shi Zhixuan before meeting Master Xin, who can kill while talking and laughing, the better the words, the more ruthless the attack, both before and after killing Keep a smile on your face." Xu Ziling was dumbfounded when he heard it, and dumbfounded when he saw it. The Shi Zhixuan in front of him is absolutely different from the Shi Zhixuan who suffers from split personality. The Shi Zhixuan he met in Chang'an is a cruel and ruthless monster who only knows how to kill and inhumane, and the other is a sad gentleman who deeply blames himself. . With a smile on his face, he went straight to the stone table in the pavilion, sat down opposite Zhu Yuyan with his back to the lake, put the wine on the table spontaneously, and said softly: "In order to collect this fine wine, I can have a drink with Yuyan on the moon. Yanjiu wait, Shi Zhixuan has sinned." Zhu Yuyan was silent for a while, because she turned her back to the two of them, so she couldn't see her expression, only guessed that Zhu Yuyan might be suspicious of Shi Zhixuan's dramatic changes like they did. Shi Zhixuan was surprised and said: "Don't Yuyan love to talk to me? In the dead of night, we always have endless topics to talk about, recalling the warm and sweet days back then..." Zhu Yuyan interrupted him coldly: "Shut up." Shi Zhixuan didn't think it was disobedient: "Yes! Yes! Let the past pass by, everything starts from today, and the holy relic is a gift for meeting, please accept it with a smile." The holy relic, which everyone in the Demon Gate dreamed of, slid out of his wide sleeve, rolled to the table, and stopped suddenly at the center of the table. The spar is still bright yellow, but Xu Ziling can no longer sense the evil power contained in it. His heart suddenly sank into an abyss, and he was even more ashamed of the fairy beside him. Shi Zhixuan succeeded, all the evil energy of Relic belonged to him, cured his schizophrenia, and turned him back into the laughing and murderous demon that met Bixiu Xin. He announced that he would withdraw from the arena for a period of one year, which is most likely a tactic to confuse the enemy. No!I desperately want to help Zhu Yuyan get rid of him. Zhu Yuyan's delicate body trembled, but her tone was surprisingly calm, as if she had known it beforehand and said softly: "Zhixuan! You are not late because you want to get some good wine, but because you have exhausted the sacred energy of relics. Alas! Why do you still lie to me today?" Xu Ziling was shocked, and came to his senses. The earlier battle with Fu Nanda was at a critical moment, and he sensed the evil spirit of relic, which must be related to this.Later, because the evil spirit of the relic merged with Shi Zhixuan, it could no longer be sensed. And the place where Shi Zhixuan finished absorbing the evil energy is most likely in the depths of the nearby lake. Concubine Shixuan approached Xu Ziling and said, "The empress is going to make a move!" Shi Zhixuan smiled wryly and said: "Lying? Alas! How can you not lie about some things? Because lies are the best and most beautiful, so everyone loves to hear them. People say that one night husband and wife are one hundred nights, and our lingering and loving days are not like this. Tonight, thinking about the old feelings, why don't we put aside our prejudices and work together to revive the prestige of the Holy Gate and benefit the land. Sui and Yang have been broken, and the world is in endless chaos. This is a rare opportunity that I, the people of the Holy Gate, have been waiting for for nearly a thousand years." Zhu Yuyan smiled delicately: "I've been tired of hearing your beautiful lies for a long time!" Shi Zhixuan casually glanced at the thick branches and leaves where the two were hiding, seeing Xu Ziling and Concubine Shi, who thought they were hiding flawlessly, felt cold all over, knowing that they couldn't hide it from him, but there was nothing they could do about it. Of course Zhu Yuyan knew Shi Zhixuan's intentions, and said softly: "There is no way! Xie Wang, you want to kill Yuyan, you should take the risk!" With one finger, point to the relic crystal ball in the center of the table. The battle was like an arrow off the string, and it had to be launched.
