Chapter 132: Sword Skills Fusion of Chessboard (8000)

Looking at the progress bar in front of him, until the last bit was finally full, Xu Bai's mouth corners slightly raised.

The progress bar of this chessboard was slower than he imagined, but it was finally successful, and it was worth the effort during this period.

When the last bit of the progress bar was successfully completed, light blue smoke appeared in the air and gathered into a line of text.

[You comprehend the nameless chessboard and comprehend the art of playing chess. ]

After this line of text appeared, it disappeared quickly, but then new changes appeared.

Xu Bai was very familiar with the new changes, which was the beginning of fusion.

Sure enough, as soon as he thought of this, new text gathered again.

[Found a fusion option, fusion in progress. ]

[Four styles of breaking + art of playing chess = four styles of playing sword. ]

[Fusion successful! ]

...

Xu Bai: "..."

What's the matter with this inexplicable sense of déjà vu?

He had watched a TV series before, which seemed to combine chess and swordsmanship. Now his swordsmanship and chess have become one, which makes him feel very lucky.

Thinking of this, the latest attribute panel reappeared.

[Name: Xu Bai. ]

【Comprehension: Full level. 】

…

A large amount of information emerged, Xu Bai held his hand on the Black Blade Hundred Splits, savoring the information in his mind.

First of all, this is a sixth-level skill, and the corresponding level is fourth-grade.

Compared with the fifth-level skills, of course, there has been a qualitative improvement, whether in terms of power or other aspects, it is incomparable.

Secondly, it still retains the armor-breaking and serious injury effects of the four-style Broken Break, not only that, but also has an additional feature,

Xu Bai pulled out the Black Blade Hundred Splits from his waist and swung a knife at the air next to him.

Under the continuous surge of true energy, the next moment, the Black Blade Hundred Splits exploded into fragments all over the room.

The fragments were like stars in the sky, surrounding Xu Bai's whole body and guarding him.

If someone was here, they would find that Xu Bai at this moment was very different from before.

When Xu Bai performed this move before, all the fragments were scattered, even if he performed the Broken Break knife method, the fragments brought up were also scattered.

Even if it is Huifeng Liuxue, it is just a hidden weapon technique.

Although the two can be cleverly combined, they are different things after all.

But it is different now.

After upgrading to Yidao Four Styles, these fragments have a wonderful trajectory every time they are used, as if each fragment is a knife.

This is no longer a hidden weapon, but a knife technique.

Huifeng Liuxue has also become a technique to control these fragments.

Compared with Duanpo Four Styles, Yidao Four Styles has been upgraded by more than one level.

Xu Bai waved the knife again, and all the fragments gathered, and then dispersed again.

All the fragments seemed to have spirituality, showing all the wonders of Yidao Four Styles in mid-air.

These are hundreds of fragments, each of which can carry the moves of Yidao Four Styles. If you really use this to fight the enemy, it will definitely be a hell-level experience for the enemy.

"Clang!"

Xu Bai put the knife back into the sheath, leaned back on the recliner, and began to recite the nameless sword scripture.

Now, there are still 18 volumes of the Nameless Sword Scripture left. Xu Bai doesn't know if he can finish them before going to the capital, but he will finish them one by one.

Time passed slowly, and Xu Bai looked at the ever-growing progress bar and fell into a boring cycle.

...

The next day.

Xu Bai got up early, stretched his body, packed his package, and after making sure that nothing was left out, he held the handle of the black sword and walked out of the door.

Outside the door, two maids were standing there.

They were arranged by Zhou Fuling. If Xu Bai had anything to do, he could let them pass it on to save Xu Bai from wasting time.

"Master Xu." The maid saw Xu Bai coming out and bowed. From the waist down, there was a touch of youthful curves.

Xu Bai was no longer surprised by this.

Except for a few maids, most maids didn't mind showing these things in front of Xu Bai.

In the maids' minds, this young man was on an equal footing with the governor, and when they heard that he was single, many of them were tempted.

If they could be favored by this man, they would really be able to fly to the top and become a phoenix.

In other words, the customs of the people of Great Chu were simple, and these maids could only show off their clothes at most.

If it were in the previous life, I'm afraid all kinds of exaggerated styles would come.

Xu Bai was unmoved and said, "Please tell Lord Zhou that I'm leaving today."

What a joke, how could Xu Bai make any move?

What Liu Xu, Chu Yu, Qing Xue, all of them are extremely beautiful, he said he would beat them to tears, and he beat them to tears.

Without hesitation.

Oh, no, I haven't seen Liu Xu's appearance yet, she has been wearing a veil.

But looking at her figure, she is not ugly.

Now I have the Black Blade Hundred Splits, I will definitely beat them to tears with one strike.

Xu Bai thought proudly in his heart, and couldn't help but touch the handle of the Black Blade Hundred Splits, and he liked it even more.

What a good knife!

Women are not as fun as knives.

When the maid heard Xu Bai say this, she showed a look of regret in her eyes, but she didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Xu Bai didn't stay where he was, and walked directly to the gate.

When they arrived at the gate, the governor of the mansion Zhou was already waiting there.

"Lord Xu, according to what you said, I did not tell the governor of Taotu Mansion that you were going there." When the governor of the mansion Zhou saw Xu Bai, he said first.

Xu Bai did not want to be involved in other things during this trip.

The governor of the mansion Zhou was okay, there was nothing he disliked, especially with Yun Zihai, they got along well.

But there was no guarantee that the other governor would be the same, so it was better to go it alone.

"Thank you, Lord Zhou." Xu Bai smiled and said, "If this trip to the capital is successful, I'm sure His Majesty will also know about the battle of Zimu Mansion. When Lord Zhou gets promoted and makes a fortune, don't forget me."

The governor of the mansion Zhou hurriedly said, "Lord Xu, you are too polite. You are the talent His Majesty hopes for. By the way, these clothes for changing were bought by someone these days. There is a tailor in my mansion. He can see Lord Xu's figure at a glance. They have been made. Lord Xu can change and use them."

A bundle was handed over.

Xu Bai opened it and saw that it was filled with a lot of clothes.

The material was very expensive, and both the style and color were very much to Xu Bai's liking.

What is a rich kid becoming an official? This is a rich kid becoming an official.

In comparison, Yun Zihai was a bit shabby.

Of course, in terms of future prospects, Yun Zihai was much better than Zhou Fuling.

After all, it was the first autonomous prefecture, and in terms of power, it was already beyond the reach of Zhou Fuling.

"Thank you for your trouble, Lord Zhou." Xu Bai smiled and said, "In that case, I will leave now."

"The mansion is busy, so I won't see you off." Zhou Fuling said, "Come on, lead the horse."

A servant led Xu Bai's fast horse and handed it to Xu Bai respectfully.

Xu Bai took it, climbed on the horse, and bowed, saying, "Goodbye."

"Have a good trip!" Zhou Fuling also bowed.

The fast horse galloped away and soon disappeared in the corner of the street.

Zhou Fuling watched Xu Bai disappear and thought to himself, "Brother Yun has a good vision. Lord Xu's visit to the capital this time may change a lot of things..."

...

Xu Bai didn't know what Zhou Fuling was thinking. He had already left Zimu Mansion and was rushing along the route of Yinyi.

He had just come out of Zimu Mansion and there was no need to rest. He seized the time and took advantage of the better light during the day to cross several Yinyi as soon as possible so that he could get to the next place earlier.

This journey was much safer than before. There was nothing unusual around him, and no one came to stop him.

Without obstacles and abnormalities, Xu Bai was unimpeded.

When it was close to night, he found a place to rest, and continued to travel during the day. After several days, he had almost enough supplies, so he took a fast horse to Yinyi.

When Xu Bai arrived, he found that this Yinyi was much smaller. It did not belong to the Yinyi of the prefecture, but the Yinyi of the road.

In the Jingzhou Prefecture Road, the road is the smallest, and below it is the county, which is not included in it. In fact, it is also a road, but the scope is smaller than the road.

Yinyi is much smaller, and there are not many postmen coming and going. Xu Bai found a place, bought some supplies from the postman, and prepared fodder for the fast horse. He fed the horse first and started eating in Yinyi.

In fact, the postmaster also provides food, but the taste is not very good.

Having money, but not needing to save in some aspects, Xu Bai certainly hopes to eat better.

While eating, the postmen around him were also chatting. After all, there was nothing to do now. Except Xu Bai, there were no travelers passing by.

Xu Bai just listened to it for fun, and ate slowly while listening.

"Have you heard? There have been many murders on the roads ahead."

"Not only have I heard about it, I've also seen it. You know, along this road leading to Taotu Mansion, I saw a young man picking up corpses."

"That's right. It is said that the corpses were riddled with holes and their deaths were extremely horrible."

……

Xu Bai had just been listening to these words for fun, but when he heard them, he couldn't help but frown.

According to what these people said, there were many corpses from here to Taotu Mansion, and they were killed by people.

The most important thing is that these corpses died in a very tragic way, with thousands of holes all over their bodies.

Under what circumstances could they be pierced with thousands of holes?

Xu Bai unconsciously thought of the corpses in the twelve sword formations he saw when he was in Zimu Mansion.

Those corpses were pierced by iron beads, and their bodies were full of scars, densely packed, and looked extremely terrifying.

Unconsciously, he overlapped these two scenes.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai ate the rest of the food in a few bites and came to the side of the postman who had just chatted.

"Here, take it."

A piece of broken silver crossed the track and fell into the hands of one of the postmen.

The man had a dull face, but when he looked down at the broken silver in his hand, he quickly put it in his pocket.

"My dear, what can I do for you?" the postman flattered.

Money makes things easier, no matter what year it is.

"You said you have seen him before, describe him to me." Xu Bai said calmly.

The postman was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted and said: "You are talking about... the murderer?"

Xu Bai nodded.

The postman filtered the scene in his mind and said, "It was a man, not tall, and the most obvious thing was that he had a scar on his face, which extended from the brow bone to the chin. It looked very scary. When I saw him, he didn't do anything to me, and even walked away without looking at me."

"Oh?" Xu Bai touched his chin and asked, "Did he use iron beads to kill people?"

The postman nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, he used iron beads. He was still cleaning the scene at the time and wiped out all the traces."

"Okay."

After asking what he wanted, Xu Bai didn't talk nonsense anymore. He turned around, rode on the fast horse, and left Yinyi.

He came and went in a hurry, leaving a bunch of stunned postmen.

...

After asking, Xu Bai also thoroughly understood that the other party was indeed the one who killed the Twelve Sword Formation.

"No wonder, I was wondering why the road was unimpeded."

There was not even a person who tried to test him along the way. Now it seems that they were all killed by that person.

"He is helping me, what does that mean?" Xu Bai thought to himself.

There are too few clues to analyze, but Xu Bai knows that he needs to change his way of traveling.

In the past, he would check the progress bar when traveling, and check it again when resting at night, but now it seems that this order must be changed.

Since the other party is helping him get rid of the person blocking the road, he will disrupt the time difference, and maybe they will meet.

"Let's see what happens after we meet." After Xu Bai made up his mind, he continued to ride fast.

...

Time passed slowly, and it was night in the blink of an eye.

This night, Xu Bai did not stop, but continued to rush forward. He wanted to see who was helping him secretly.

The horse galloped, and in the blink of an eye, he traveled a lot of distance. Then, Xu Bai heard something unusual.

The night should be quiet. In addition to the chirping of insects and birds, there is only the boundless night.

But at this moment, in addition to the quiet night, Xu Bai heard extra sounds.

"Clang!"

"Boom!"

The sounds of fighting and roaring continued to sound in the dark night. Even though they were very slight, they were particularly clear in the quiet environment.

"The highlight is finally here."

Xu Bai's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a strange smile, riding a fast horse, and ran towards the source of the sound...

...

At this time, a fierce fight was taking place in a forest not far from Xu Bai.

A dozen masked men gathered together and were surrounding a young man.

The young man looked ordinary and wore rags.

The only special thing was that there was a scar on his face.

The scar started from the brow bone and extended to the chin, which looked extremely hideous.

The young man was carrying a wooden box on his back. Under the wooden box, there were two small holes around the corners.

As the young man put his hand on the small hole, the small hole would automatically spit out a large number of beads, not more or less, just enough for a handful.

This wooden box was obviously made of a mechanical device.

The young man said nothing, and every time he made a move, a shower of iron beads rose up, covering the sky and the sun.

The group of masked men dodged left and right in the iron beads, and there were already more than 30 corpses lying on the ground.

At this time, the young man was also injured, with a huge wound on his shoulder, which was still bleeding.

"Boy, your hidden weapon is very powerful, but it is only a hidden weapon after all. If you put it in the open, wouldn't that be courting death?" A masked man spoke: "We have no grudges against you in the past or today, but you come to stop us. Are you Xu Bai's lackey?"

After this sentence fell, the young man did not answer, but still raised a handful of iron beads and threw them at the masked man who spoke.

But at this time, the young man seemed to be getting weaker. After a series of hard battles, he was exhausted.

Although the iron beads thrown out covered the sky, the force was not as strong as before, and they were easily knocked down.

These masked men looked at each other and rushed towards the young man together.

"He's dying, everyone. Get rid of this guy who's blocking the road, and then go deal with Xu Bai!"

"He killed so many of our brothers, and we'll give him a cruel death later."

"Attack with all your strength. According to Xu Bai's pace, he will arrive tomorrow. Don't leave any trouble behind!"

The group of people shouted and attacked the young man.

The young man tightly shut his mouth. Although his face was pale, he still didn't say a word, and mechanically reached his hand into the wooden box behind him.

Those who were sent to attack Xu Bai were all masters.

If they were not masters, they would be sent here to serve food.

The young man's hidden weapon was good at sneak attacks, just like the twelve sword formations that could not be counterattacked that day.

Just like Song De said before, if it was put in the open, it would be uncertain who would win or lose.

Being able to kill more than thirty people, this young man was also very powerful.

But now, he was exhausted.

Looking at the people rushing over, the young man planned to make a last-ditch effort.

As he was about to get close, a voice sounded around.

"Oh, you are here to kill me."

When this voice sounded, everyone present stopped.

The young man showed a look of astonishment in his eyes. He turned his head in surprise and saw Xu Bai holding the black knife in his hand, passing from a distant place and arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.

The black knife was already unsheathed, with a dark light flashing on it. Under the moonlight, it looked unusually cold.

"It's Xu Bai, run!"

This group of people was also intelligent. They knew that in this situation, they could not be opponents anyway, so after shouting, they were ready to turn around and leave.

But before they could speak, they heard Xu Bai speak again.

"If you run away, how can I survive in the world in the future?"

After the voice fell, Xu Bai's true energy began to surge and flow along the black knife.

The next moment, the black knife turned into fragments all over the sky, shrouded in black light and strong wind.

Xu Bai's right hand was horizontal, and the four styles of Yidao were used.

The power of the Yi Dao Four Styles, which has reached the sixth level, is naturally incomparable.

All the fragments flew out together, and each fragment had its own independent operation mode, and the so-called operation mode was the Yi Dao Four Styles.

What kind of scene would it be when more than a hundred fragments performed the Yi Dao Four Styles together?

Xu Bai still stood in the same place, and the breeze blew, lifting his clothes in an arc.

Although he did not move, the fragments of the black knife were like a flood and beast, sweeping into the crowd.

The group of masked men also knew that they could not run anymore, and they turned around and prepared to resist.

But the next moment, they found something wrong.

Shouts came one after another.

"Damn, how can these fragments be so strange!"

"It doesn't look like a hidden weapon, it looks more like a knife!"

"Each fragment can perform a knife technique on its own, what kind of weapon is this!"

...

These voices only sounded for a moment, and the next moment, everyone present was pierced by the fragments, and no one survived.

There is no point in keeping him. Since they are here to assassinate me, they must be dead men. I can't get anything out of them. It's a waste of time.

Xu Bai sheathed his sword, and the fragments in the sky re-condensed into a black sword.

From beginning to end, Xu Bai didn't even move a step, and all the people present were gone.

He turned his eyes to the young man and said lightly: "Name, origin."

The man who killed the Twelve Swords Formation in Zimu Mansion that day was found.

If it weren't for the fact that this man didn't seem to be an enemy, Xu Bai would have sent him down now.

Then, as soon as Xu Bai said this, the young man made a move.

The young man knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xu Bai three times. When he raised his head again, his face was already covered with tears: "Thank you, Lord Xu, for saving my life."

His voice was hoarse, but he could hear it clearly.

"Why are you crying?" Xu Bai frowned.

At the beginning, facing the siege of so many people, the person who still persisted was now crying inexplicably. Xu Bai certainly felt that something was wrong.

Even in the face of so many people, in a life-or-death situation, this young man still didn't frown, but now he's crying?

This extreme contrast will of course make people feel very contradictory.

No matter how you look at it, it feels wrong.

"I cried because I got my revenge, and I cried because I was grateful." The young man wiped the tears from his face and said slowly after hearing Xu Bai's question.

His voice was still hoarse, as if his throat was injured and he struggled to say that.

"I'll give you one stick of incense, can you explain it?" Xu Bai looked at the sky. It was too late now, and it was not suitable to rush on the road. He might as well listen to the young man's statement first.

It was just right to see if there were any clues.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai found a tree and leaned against it lazily, waiting for the young man's explanation.

But his hand never left the black knife. Obviously, he did not relax his vigilance. As long as the young man made any unusual movements, he would directly use the knife.

The young man was slightly stunned, and then he remembered that Xu Bai said he would only give him one stick of incense, so he hurried to explain.

"My name is Shen He. I come from Feihe Pavilion. I am the last heir of Feihe Pavilion. Feihe Pavilion is good at the art of hidden weapons. They are very skilled in using hidden weapons, but in the end they were destroyed."

"Feihe Pavilion comes from Dafeng Kingdom. Since Dafeng Kingdom, it has been one of the most powerful forces at that time. However, with the rise of Dachu Kingdom, Dafeng Kingdom is in danger, and the inheritance of the trades in Dafeng Kingdom was temporarily requisitioned to fight against Dachu Kingdom."

"But Dachu Kingdom is too strong. Soon, these armies composed of Jianghu people collapsed."

"After that, when Dachu Kingdom dealt with the border barbarians and Dayue Kingdom, it once again learned from Dafeng Kingdom and used Jianghu people."

Speaking of this, the young man paused for a while, and his mood was very unstable.

As if he recalled some bad fragments, he clenched his fists and breathed hard.

Then, he finally recovered and calmed down, and told the follow-up one by one.

"Later, the Great Chu State let go of the past grudges and let those people go back safely. I thought everything was fine, but then it became a dead end for my Feihe Pavilion."

"At that time, Feihe Pavilion was the first to stand up and advocate surrendering to the Great Chu. Because of this, it was retaliated by those remnants. They joined hands and wiped out Feihe Pavilion."

"Panjian Mountain, where the Twelve Sword Formations are located, is one of them. There are many more. They are all, and I know them all."

Hearing this, Xu Bai frowned. He noticed something wrong.

"Why don't you write a letter to His Majesty and let His Majesty make the decision?"

Such a big thing happened, but it didn't take the official route. This is a bit unreasonable.

If the emperor really encountered this, he would have to deal with it, otherwise those people in the martial arts world would probably not dare to serve the court in the future.

"I wrote to His Majesty, but what these people did was really airtight, and there was no evidence at all." Shen He looked bitter: "At that time, His Majesty's foundation was stable, and it was not easy to take action without evidence. Later, as time went on, it was even more difficult to take action. I was still young at that time, so His Majesty arranged for me to study in the palace with Eunuch Wei, which was actually to protect me."

"His Majesty said that he would give me an explanation, but when I heard that Lord Xu was on the way to Beijing, I couldn't help it and ran out of the palace."

"When I arrived, I saw the Twelve Swords Formation. I was eager for revenge, and I was worried that Lord Xu would let these people make meritorious contributions like others, so I took action."

"After that, I followed Lord Xu all the time, secretly dealing with those killers, which was also revenge."

Speaking of this, Shen He seemed to be relieved after speaking it out in one breath, and the whole person became loose.

He looked directly at Xu Bai, without dodging, indicating that what he said was true.

"I see."

After Xu Bai understood the cause and effect, he thought about the emperor's thoughts, touched his chin, and said, "So, you know who those people are?"

He came to this conclusion.

Since Shen He has a purpose for revenge, he must know the identities of these people.

Knowing the identities, it will be easy.

In this way, the enemy and us will be reversed.

"I know, but I only know part of it." Shen He explained, "I was still young at that time, and I could only recognize some people."

Speaking of this, Shen He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xu Bai with an extremely respectful attitude.

"This is recorded by the villain, and the villain will never forget it in this life."

When he spoke, he gritted his teeth, as if he hated it to the bone.

Xu Bai took it, opened it and took a look. There were various names written on it, and next to the names, the business they belonged to was also marked.

"Well... very good."

In the letter, there are several people belonging to Taotu Mansion.

"Sir, I want to go with you to Taotu Mansion and serve you." Shen He said seriously.

Xu Bai did not speak, but turned his eyes and looked directly at Shen He.

Just now, he suddenly thought of a possibility and noticed something wrong in Shen He's words.

Shen He felt creepy when he was seen by this gaze, as if he was being stared at by a terrifying monster.

"Sir, why are you looking at me like this?" Shen He raised his head with difficulty and asked.

There was a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Well... first you killed the Twelve Swords, then you helped me kill those assassins. Very good, after you deceived my trust, you stayed by my side." Xu Bai smiled and said, "You gave me another piece of information. If I really do it according to the information, will I become a murderer?"

This sentence came extremely abruptly, making the surrounding environment fall into silence.

Shen He was slightly stunned. After a long time, he reacted and continued, "Sir, you misunderstood me."

He wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Xu Bai when he was about to speak.

"Have you ever thought that since His Majesty values ​​you so much and the palace is heavily guarded, why did he let you run away?" Xu Bai raised a finger and said slowly, "Do you think His Majesty is a fool, or are you smarter than His Majesty?"

Shen He was stunned and said nothing.

"You did well in every part, but this one is not good enough." Xu Bai continued, "I don't believe that His Majesty will let you out and let you disturb my trip to the capital, so all this must be intentional."

Shen He's face gradually stiffened, and his expression became more and more strange. He said stubbornly, "But sir, this is not evidence. What I said is true."

In addition to helplessness, there was also anxiety in his tone, as if he was afraid that Xu Bai would misunderstand.

When it comes to acting, Xu Bai is an expert, and he saw the abnormality.

"You are too young from the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom to now." Xu Bai suddenly said.

"You said that when you were still young, you remembered most of the people, so you must have grown up, but what is the result? From that time to now, you are too young. In my opinion, you should be middle-aged."

When this sentence came out, Shen He finally couldn't hold it anymore.

It leaked, it leaked completely!

He quickly retreated, wanting to escape from here, but before he could take two steps, he suddenly felt a pain in his body, and then he felt severe pain all over his body. He couldn't help but bend down, his face was covered with sweat, and breathing became difficult.

This was not the reason why Xu Bai took action. Xu Bai hadn't even taken action yet, and he saw Shen He doing this.

"Poison? Or something else?"

He has the true solution to all poisons, but Xu Bai didn't see it.

"I understand, I am a chess piece. If I can't get inside, this is the end?" Shen He raised his head, his face pale.

The next moment, his body suddenly expanded, like a balloon stretched to the limit, expanding three times, giving people a feeling that it would explode at any time.
