By the time Yin Xiu and Saint White Lotus separated and returned to the valley alone, the cruel battle was over.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the orange-yellow sunlight was shining in the valley, making the blood and weapons more vivid, and making the already pale faces glow with blood.
Yin Xiu stood on the top of the tree, looking at the desolate scene in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
Both sides had suffered heavy losses in this battle, and there was no way they would waste their time collecting and disposing of these corpses.
In this way, these corpses can only lie here quietly, waiting for the beasts to smell the smell and come over, tear them apart piece by piece, and finally be covered by flash floods and mudslides from unknown sources, leaving no trace.
Just as he was sighing, a small sound sounded in the forest.
Yin Xiu immediately held his hand on the long knife at his waist and stared at the direction of the sound.
I saw two bloody men pushing aside the branches and leaves, walking out of the forest, and looking at Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu looked at the two of them for a while, then released his hand from the knife and took off the mask.
"I thought you had arrived at Prince Su's camp at this time." Yin Xiu said.
“Originally I wanted to go.”
Ren Qi also took off his mask, revealing his resolute and cold face, as if carved with a knife.
"But it's hard to explain without you, so we can only [die]."
"It's a pity that the bastard called Holy Son White Lotus was unlucky and lived an extra day." Yin Xiu said with a smile.
Ren Qi didn't seem surprised when he heard Yin Xiu pouring out Prince Su's true body, and just nodded calmly.
"It's okay to ask him to live for a few more days. Anyway, that bastard looks like he's going to be short-lived and will be taken away sooner or later."
Then he asked: "The White Lotus Sect strongman who chased you last time was Tuoba Wenwu?"
"No."
Yin Xiu shook his head, "The person who almost caused us to stumble last time was Bai Li, the Xianwang of the Left. This is the Xianwang of the You, Tuoba Wenwu."
Ren Qi lowered his head and thought: "What a big move. The wise kings of the White Lotus Sect have gathered in Baiyun Mountain. Together with the Thunder Lord they met last time, the White Lotus Sect has dispatched a total of three masters of the synesthesia realm. In the past, even if it was an assassination, The emperor has never sent out so many masters.”
"It's different. For the White Lotus Sect, this is a war to destroy the country. Naturally, we have to risk everything and empty out our family fortune."
After a pause, Yin Xiu asked uncertainly: "By the way, is this the entire wealth of the White Lotus Sect?"
"How do I know this?"
Ren Qi scratched his head, "The activities of the White Lotus Sect have always been hidden. Their altars are sometimes hidden in deep mountain tunnels and are inaccessible.
Sometimes they are placed openly in the downtown area, like a shop, for fear that you will not know they are here.
Therefore, their behaviors and thoughts are often unpredictable to us.
During the years I was in Ouchi, I carried out hundreds of missions, and I only had one or two confirmed encounters with masters of the synaesthesia realm.
According to the information on the stick, there are probably only a few masters of the White Lotus Sect who are above the synaesthesia level.
Oh, that Lei Gong must be a charlatan, he was in a hurry to die as soon as he entered the synaesthesia realm. ”
There was a sense of pride in Ren Qi's tone. After all, he had already defeated his previous seemingly unreachable opponents as soon as he stepped through the entrance.
"What about the imperial court? How many masters are there in the palace?" Yin Xiu was really interested in this question.
"Diwei, the chief internal officer, is one of them. Also that time, when the White Lotus Sect broke into the Forbidden Palace and assassinated them, there were also a few guys who had never seen anyone, neither human nor ghost, who came out to intercept and kill those people. After the incident, he quickly disappeared without a trace.
So I guess, maybe many of the great experts and old monsters in the imperial court are hiding in the palace and don't go out much. ”
"Then let's talk about Dewei. How about that guy?"
"Dewey? Not bad."
Ren Qi took out the water bag and took a sip of spring water.
"Speaking of which, I was under his control before, but he was in charge of many departments and many people, so even if I still have the title of [Four Famous Swordsmen] in Ouchi, he may not remember me.
That Diwei is a traitor from Leifeng Temple. It is said that he was taken in by the abbot there when he was a child. He has mastered all the special skills in the thirty-six rooms of Leifeng Temple, and his kung fu has reached the realm of transformation. Later, maybe for glory and wealth, or because of some grudges. Love and hatred.
Anyway, the first thing he did after entering the palace was to lead the army to flatten Leifeng Temple. The monks in the temple were killed from top to bottom. Nowadays, it is said that the ruins of Leifeng Temple can still be heard from time to time. The sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling, calling people. I didn't dare to go near there in the middle of the night. ”
"Beast, a complete beast." Hai Dongqing said.
Regarding his indignation, Ren Qi just smiled and said, "People in Da Nei are all like this. They are not beasts. You can't survive in Da Nei."
"Aren't you scolding yourself by saying this?"
"What does it matter? I am no longer from Ouchi."
Ren Qi still looked very calm.
"Anyway, Di Wei, he is the only great master I know in Da Nei, and he has been working in this realm for I don't know how many years. His strength cannot be underestimated."
"Then what will happen if the two of us meet this master of synesthesia?" Hai Dongqing asked.
"Didn't you already see the capabilities of such masters last time?" Ren Qi asked him.
Hai Dongqing looked firm, "The past was before, and the present is now. I want to confirm it again."
"I know."
Ren Qi nodded, and then said seriously: "If you meet a master like Di Wei, both of you will die, but if you meet another worldly master, Yin Xiu will die, but you may not."
"Not necessarily?"
Even Yin Xiu became confused.
"That's right, it's just not necessarily true. Dewey has always preferred to kill the wrong person, and he actually doesn't care if he kills the wrong person, he only cares about whether he kills them all.
As for other masters, they are masters outside the world..."
Ren Qi glanced at Hai Dongqing, "He is a decent opponent. Those people will have fighting and murderous intentions, so he will die.
As for you, as long as you stand aside, they probably won't be too harsh on you, because peerless masters like them are probably not people who care about everything.
Moreover, they are not working for the imperial court. They have to take into account a little bit of morality and reputation, and they will not make things difficult for you. That would not look good. ”
"You are talking as if Hai Dongqing is a woman and a child." Yin Xiu said with a smile.
"How did you know?"
Hai Dongqing murmured in a low voice and glared at Yin Xiu again, "Don't you always tell me not to joke with your life? How come you can still laugh now that you hear that you may die? Do you also have some incurable disease? ?”
"Spit!"
Without caring about Hai Dongqing's possible attitudes and thoughts, Yin Xiu just smiled and said: "I don't laugh. I cry to those giants and martial arts seniors to spare my life, and they will let me go? < br>
And there is no one in this world who cannot die. They are all mortals. With two shoulders supporting one head, who can’t achieve immortality?
When you are really about to die, no matter what kind of emperor or prince you are, you must still die. ”
"That's the truth."
Ren Qi nodded, "That bastard of Holy Son White Lotus can pretend to be the same as anyone else. In the end, all he does is wash his neck clean."
"What about Tuoba Wenwu? Do you know him well?" Yin Xiu asked again.
"Do you think I'm just a spy or a spy at Sticky Rod?" Ren Qi was very dissatisfied, "These old monsters are always invisible, and no one knows where they died. How do I know his strength? And I haven’t seen him.”
"You haven't seen me? But I have seen you, and I remember you very clearly. I haven't forgotten you very much over the years. So much so that when I saw you drawing the knife from a distance in such a thick fog, I immediately remembered that I had gone with you. You have had a chance encounter with one of the four famous swordsmen, [Leng Yu] Ren Qi!”
"Old Glass, do you have a crush on me?"
Ren Qi turned his head, and Tuoba Wenwu didn't know when he had arrived behind them, standing in the forest, his body filled with a chilling aura.
"Looking for you?" Yin Xiu raised his eyebrows.
"Can't I be looking for you?"
After saying that, even Ren Qi knew that this was impossible, so he simply took a step forward and pulled out the knife.
"You said, we have met before?"
"Of course I have."
Tuoba Wenwu wiped his face and said, "When you were in Jiangnan, didn't you and your men break into the main altar, arrest all thirty-two members of the White Lotus Sect, and behead them at Caishikou? In this matter, I Can be remembered for a lifetime.”
"Then you have a pretty good memory."
Ren Qi weighed the long knife in his hand, "I remember that there were still some fish that escaped the net and escaped by boat at that time, but since you were there at that time, why didn't you take action?"
Tuoba Wenwu's pupils narrowed slightly, "I had a mission at that time."
"I understand, I can't help myself."
Ren Qi nodded, "This kind of thing happens all the time when people are in the world. I can understand it. So you recognized me and now you are here to seek revenge from me?"
"We will settle our matters later. After so many years, is it still a short time away? I'm not in a hurry."
The person Tuoba Wenwu is looking for is Yin Xiu.
"Boy, let me ask you, where is the Holy Lady White Lotus?"
"People in your religion, you ask me?"
"You took her away. If I didn't ask you, who would I ask?"
[Obviously she was the one who kidnapped me. 】
Yin Xiu glanced at him and said, "The White Lotus Saint has probably returned to your territory. If you go back quickly now, you can still chat with her for a while."
"What?"
Ren Qi looked at Yin Xiu, "You didn't kill her?"
"Sorry, it's not the time yet. I can't kill her at this time." Yin Xiu said seriously.
"Whatever you want."
Ren Qi really didn't seem to care, "Revenge is my business and has nothing to do with you. If you kill that bitch, I will cause trouble for you. Because she is the person I want to kill."
"Presumptuous!"
Tuoba Wenwu Xu was furious and said, "As long as I am still breathing, no one can touch the saint."
"I know, so you are going to die soon."
Ren Qi turned the two long knives in a circle, making a frightening whistling sound.
"This is not a guy you can handle." Tuoba Wenwu said.
Ren Qi admitted generously: "It's not true. I put my dick elsewhere, but if I want to chop you, these knives can be used."
"Okay, then you can try it."
Tuoba Wenwu rolled up his sleeves, revealing his arms that were as muscular as steel bars.
Upon seeing this, Yin Xiu began to quietly step back, but he was surprised to see that Hai Dongqing actually wanted to step forward!
"Hey, you don't want your life?"
Yin Xiu quickly grabbed him.
"You can't let him face such a master alone, right?" Hai Dongqing said.
"What do you know?"
Yin Xiu pulled him back a little further, "Ren Qi is also a master. Masters versus masters, how can we interfere?"
"So we just watch?"
"Being able to stay here and watch is already very loyal and a good friend.
Think about it, of course everyone will be happy if Ren Qi wins, but if Ren Qi falls later, we will be the ones to face this monster next. ”
Hearing what Yin Xiu said, Hai Dongqing couldn't help but change his expression, and took a few steps back without Yin Xiu pulling him.
Ren Qi turned back dissatisfied, "I'm already certain to be defeated before I take action. Do you have friends as loyal as you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the long knives in his hands came out and slashed at Tuoba Wenwu with a sound of breaking wind.
Tuoba Wenwu had been watching him. Almost as soon as Ren Qi's long sword was released, he had already stepped forward, reached out with one hand, and struck several times on the blade that Ren Qi stabbed.
The long sword, which was as fast as thunder and flowing fire, immediately stagnated, broke into several pieces with a bang, and fell to the ground.
Ren Qi discarded the broken knife without hesitation, put his hand on the other knife, held the knife in both hands, and slashed towards Tuoba Wenwu's head.
Tuoba Wenwu leaned back, and a few strands of silver beard and hair were picked up by the blade and flew into the air.
While leaning back to avoid the slash, he stretched out his hands forward, as if they suddenly became longer. Tuoba Wenwu's hands reached towards Ren Qi's open middle door.
Ren Qi's pupils shrank suddenly. He did not block or dodge. Instead, he manipulated the blade to draw a sharp right angle in the air and struck Tuoba Wenwu's vitals again.
Tuoba Wenwu immediately gave up the attack, stepped forward, made a deep hole in the ground, and retreated.
Before he could retreat far, he twisted his feet again, stepped into another deep hole, and crashed into Ren Qi's arms again.
At this moment, Ren Qi changed to holding the knife with one hand. He pulled out a brand new long knife from the box with the other hand, held it behind his back with one hand, and slashed at the opponent.
Tuoba Wenwu didn't expect that Ren Qi would draw the sword so fast. He immediately summoned his energy in his hand and used his skill to push the blade of Ren Qi's sword. With a slip, he could barely remove the force of the fatal sword.
Bah!
The clothes on Tuoba Wenwu's chest were torn apart, and the long knife in Ren Qi's hand left a horrific wound on his chest, causing blood to bloom.
Careless!
Feeling that the murderous intention was coming, Tuoba Wenwu used his strength again and blasted out with a fist wrapped in wind and thunder.
Ren Qi turned the long knife sideways to block the punch. The long knife almost shattered into dust as soon as Tuoba Wenwu's fist hit the blade.
An extremely powerful punch hit Ren Qi's chest, forcing him out immediately.
"Good work."
"Good swordsmanship."
The two stood still, looking at each other with a bit more solemnity in their eyes. (End of chapter)
