Chapter 118: No New Trick
Sanren's biggest mistake was not to separate from the Qi Master, but that he found the wrong opponent.
If a Qi Refiner came to kill Qi Xuansu, with two flying swords, no matter what Qi Xuansu's means, he would still be able to decapitate him with the two swords. On the other side, Sanren faced Zhang Yuelu alone. With the protective treasure in hand, he was afraid to attack and could not win. It was not a problem to hold on for a while. When the Qi Master eliminated Qi Xuansu, the two of them could still join forces to deal with Zhang Yuelu.
However, this move also has a shortcoming, that is, it gives Zhang Yuelu a chance to escape. If Zhang Yuelu can be ruthless and regard Qi Xuansu as an abandoned son, he can take advantage of the opportunity when the Qi Refiner goes to kill Qi Xuansu and escape directly. The Sanren cannot stop him. her. Then the two of them were trying to get nothing, and Qi Xuansu's head could not be exchanged for the reward.
This is also the reason why the Qi Refiner refused to deal with Qi Xuansu first. He must strive to be safe and foolproof. Five brothers have already died. If Zhang Yuelu runs away again, he will lose his wife and lose his troops.
At this time, Sanren faced Qi Xuansu, who was completely on the defensive, determined to delay time, and Sanren's protective treasure had no use. On the contrary, the Qi Master fought against Zhang Yuelu alone, with constant dangers and endless complaints.
However, after Sanren used his "innate chance of winning", Qi Xuansu was also surrounded by dangers and had a very difficult time dealing with them.
Qi Xuansu's short sword pointed out that it trembled in the middle and changed uncertainly. San Ren used his bone spurs to parry, but Qi Xuansu's dagger was like a ghost, and it actually got behind San Ren.
The Sanren seemed to be blinded, and turned around in an instant, ignoring the direction of Qi Xuansu's sword, and stabbed Qi Xuansu's lower abdomen and forehead.
Qi Xuansu was slightly startled and could only block with his sword. He could only hear the clanging sound. He didn't know who of the two was attacking and who was defending.
Unexpectedly, the two of them had already made several moves in an instant.
It's just that the San people have "innate divine calculations". Qi Xuansu's several strange moves failed to achieve success, and he gradually fell into a disadvantage. He only had the ability to parry, but not the ability to fight back.
On the other side, Zhang Yuelu's figure jumped into the air, and for a moment thousands of clear lights appeared behind him. At first glance, it looked like a huge sapphire screen, or like a peacock spreading its tail. But upon closer inspection, it is actually a long sword made of sword energy.
This is in the "Cihang Pudu Sword Code". If "Thousand Swords Guanyin" is listed separately from the "Cihang Pudu Sword Code", it can only be regarded as a perfect method, but it is said to be as lethal as the gods. The first swordsmanship, other killing moves such as the "Thirteen Taiyin Swords", can only be practiced by heavenly beings at least.
Although Zhang Yuelu has not yet become a celestial being, it is impossible to condense a thousand swords. At most, he can only have a hundred swords at this time. But the power of the Hundred Swords is also extremely terrifying.
The Qi Refiner has been in Guizhen for many years and has seen many big scenes, but after seeing this scene, he still felt ups and downs.
The next moment, Zhang Yuelu rushed forward quickly, and saw hundreds of swords thrust forward. The Qi Master controlled two flying swords to strangle more than eighty swords, but he was still bombarded by the remaining twenty or so sword Qi. On his body, he fell back more than ten feet, and his back crashed into a big tree with three people hugging each other, causing the tree to sway, and this stopped the collapse.
Zhang Yuelu tiptoed, and swept in front of the Qi Refiner, pressing down with his sword.
After being approached, the advantage of the flying sword could not be brought into play. The qi master could only put away the flying sword for the time being, and then pulled out the long sword on his back to block the sword. He felt a huge weight coming from his hand, and his whole body was shocked. Unable to stand, he had to kneel on the ground.
Master Zhang Yuelu had to hold the sword with both hands before he could withstand it.
Zhang Yuelu held the sword with one hand and pressed down, then slapped the Qi Refiner on the forehead with his left palm.
The Qi Master directly broke the big tree behind him and flew backwards. His Qi was chaotic, Qi and blood were boiling, and stars were bursting out in front of his eyes.
After the Qi Refiner stood up and was about to smooth out the chaotic Qi in his body, Zhang Yuelu suddenly came to him again and kept drawing out his sword.
The qi master who had exhausted his old energy but not yet generated new energy struggled to fight with Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu's face turned slightly pale, which was a sign of excessive loss of energy. For her now, it was still a bit difficult to use "Thousand Swords Guanyin", but she was not at the end of her rope yet, and she still had the upper hand.
The Qi Master swung out his sword. Zhang Yuelu had already expected it. It seemed like he could barely avoid it, but in fact, he avoided it just right, without any damage at all. Then a sword hit the "seven inches" of the sword in the Qi Refiner's hand, causing his Qi flow to be interrupted instantly, and then he was defeated.
Zhang Yuelu gained the upper hand and was not merciful. He struck out with his sword again, and his force was fierce.
The Qi Refiner was startled, jumped back, and managed to escape.
However, the sword energy still tore the Qi Refiner's sleeves, leaving a long blood-red line on his forearm.
The Qi Refiner was not surprised but happy. Just now, Zhang Yuelu clearly wanted to stab his chest, but he was too slow. This was a sign that it was unsustainable.
How long can you last?
Zhang Yuelu knew that she was injured in many places by the Qi Refiner's flying sword, and her movements were inevitably sluggish. If she had not been injured, even if the sword failed to kill the Qi Refiner, he would have taken advantage of the opportunity to pursue him. Hard to escape.
However, it is said that those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are dark. Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu have been together for a long time and learned a lot from Qi Xuansu. To put it simply, Qi Xuansu's level of cultivation is not as good as Zhang Yuelu's, but he is good at using his brain when fighting, and he will do everything he can. He can make sneak attacks but never fight directly. When it comes to conspiracies, soldiers never tire of deceit and deceit.
Zhang Yuelu took advantage of the situation and pretended to be helpless, with no blood on his face. He leaned his sword on the ground and panted heavily.
The Qi Refiner was indeed fooled. Not only did he stop retreating, but he also took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "What? Master Zhang, you have no strength? That's really embarrassing."
After saying that, he raised the long sword in his hand, jumped up, and chopped off Zhang Yuelu's head.
Zhang Yuelu calculated deliberately and unintentionally, and while the Qi Refiner was in the air, he suddenly drew his sword and pointed the sword tip at his lower abdomen.
The Qi Refiner was startled. He jumped over like this. If Zhang Yuelu didn't avoid it, he would have to block it with his weapon. Therefore, although his lower abdomen was empty, he didn't have to defend it. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuelu did not dodge, but pointed the tip of his sword diagonally, waiting for him to hit his lower abdomen against the sword. This is a style of play that leads to mutual destruction.
The Qi Refiner jumped up. Before his feet even touched the ground, he saw that he was in danger and hurriedly swung his sword to slash at Zhang Yuelu's long sword. Zhang Yuelu had already expected this move. He raised his right arm lightly and raised the paper sword in his hand two feet. He raised the tip of the sword and pointed it at the Qi Refiner's chest.
When the Qi Refiner slashed out with his sword, he originally hoped that he would be able to use the force to avoid Zhang Yuelu's long sword as it crossed with it. Unexpectedly, the opponent would suddenly turn his sword and point upward at this critical moment. He slashed through the air with his sword, and his body was helpless in mid-air. He spun around and crashed straight into the tip of Zhang Yuelu's sword. But there was a thumping sound, and the tip of the sword passed through the Qi Refiner's shoulder blade.
The Qi Master was also an old martial artist, and at this critical moment of life and death, he was decisive and ruthless. Regardless of his wounds, he suddenly stepped back, separated his body from Zhang Yuelu's paper sword, and rushed towards the ancient temple.
Regardless of his own injury, Zhang Yuelu forcibly increased his speed by three points, blocking the path of the Qi Refiner.
However, many of the healed wounds on Zhang Yuelu's body also burst open again, causing her to be covered in blood. However, Zhang Yuelu didn't care and slashed with his sword, forcing the Qi Refiner to block with his sword. The Qi Refiner spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale. Zhang Yuelu turned pale.
Then Zhang Yuelu kicked the Qi Master in the knee, forcing him to stand unsteadily and kneel on one knee.
The Qi Refiner shouted angrily and tried to get up forcefully.
Zhang Yuelu's right hand paper sword suddenly pressed down three points.
The Qi Refiner was overwhelmed. Not only could he not get up, but the long sword in his hand was constantly being pressed down. In the end, he could only twist his upper body and hold the sword with his shoulders.
Zhang Yuelu pointed with his left hand.
The Qi Refiner flew backwards as if struck by lightning. After landing, the Qi Refiner was not dead, but he was frightened. He stood up without hesitation and started running for his life without looking back.
Zhang Yuelu struck out with a chopping palm and hit him on the back.
The Qi Refiner's face suddenly turned red, and he swallowed down the mouthful of blood that had reached his throat. With the power of this palm, his body became a little faster, and he disappeared in a flash.
Zhang Yuelu did not pursue, but plundered towards the ruined temple.
In the ruined temple, the San people had already forced Qi Xuansu into a corner.
Qi Xuansu was also in a state of embarrassment. If he had not been blessed by "Xuanyu" and had a body and energy comparable to that of a returning warrior, he would have died in the hands of Sanren, but even so, he would not be able to survive for long.
At this time, San Ren happened to have his back to Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu was not impatient, and even deliberately restrained his aura, and then imitated Qi Xuansu's posture and got closer to San Ren.
Because Zhang Yuelu remembered very clearly that this Sanren had a protective treasure. If this person knew that he would die, he could use this treasure to resist her attack and die together with Qi Xuansu, so she did not dare to take action rashly.
Sanren didn't notice Qi Xuansu approaching behind him at all. On the contrary, Qi Xuansu happened to be facing Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu raised his index finger to his lips and made a "silence" gesture to Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu's expression was not strange at all.
The next moment, Sanren suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and then his whole body's true energy began to collapse rapidly.
For a moment, there was silence in the ancient temple, leaving only the sound of rustling night rain.
Sanren couldn't see the sneak attack behind him, but he saw Qi Xuansu looking at him with a half-smile, as if he was looking at a clown.
He lowered his head slowly.
Seeing a piece of paper sword penetrated his chest, it naturally also pierced his heart.
The expression on Sanren's face seemed to be annoyed or hateful, and he said slowly: "Jianghu people like to sneak attacks from behind. Don't you sect...men...can't...play some new tricks?"
Qi Xuansu replied: "The trick is not new, it just works."
The Sanren died in despair with anger and unwillingness.
