Pawn Crossing the River

Sanren's biggest mistake was not to separate from the Refiner, but that he chose the wrong opponent.

If the Refiner came to kill Qi Xuansu, with two flying swords, no matter what Qi Xuansu did, he would have to cut off his head with the two swords. On the other hand, Sanren faced Zhang Yuelu alone. With the protective treasure in hand, he dared not say that he won the attack, but it was not a problem to hold on for a while. When the Refiner solved Qi Xuansu, the two could still join forces to deal with Zhang Yuelu.

However, this move also had a shortcoming, that is, it gave Zhang Yuelu a chance to escape. If Zhang Yuelu could be ruthless and regard Qi Xuansu as a discarded child, she could take advantage of the opportunity when the Refiner went to kill Qi Xuansu and escape directly. Sanren could not stop her. Then the two would be empty-handed, and Qi Xuansu's head could not be exchanged for a reward.

This is also the reason why the Refiner was unwilling to solve Qi Xuansu first. He had to strive for safety and foolproofness. Five brothers had already died. If Zhang Yuelu ran away, it would be a loss of both the wife and the army.

At this time, Sanren faced Qi Xuansu. Qi Xuansu was completely on the defensive and was determined to delay time. Sanren's protective treasure was useless. On the contrary, the Qi Refiner fought Zhang Yuelu alone, and was in danger and complained bitterly.

However, after Sanren used the "Innate Victory", Qi Xuansu was also in danger and had a very difficult time dealing with it.

Qi Xuansu's short sword pointed out, trembling in the middle and changing unpredictably. Sanren parried with bone spurs, and Qi Xuansu's short sword was like a ghost, and it had actually circled behind Sanren.

Sanren seemed to have eyes behind him, 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 swing his sword to block. He only heard the sound of clanging. He didn't know who was attacking and who was defending, nor did he know how many moves the two had made in an instant.

However, Sanren had the "Innate Divine Calculation", and Qi Xuansu's several tricks failed to work. He gradually fell into a disadvantage, and could only defend himself, but had no power to fight back.

On the other side, Zhang Yuelu's figure leaped into the air, and in an instant, thousands of clear lights appeared behind him. At first glance, it looked like a huge jade screen, or like a peacock spreading its tail. But a closer look revealed that they were actually long swords made of sword energy.

This is from the "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon". If "Thousand Swords Guanyin" is listed separately from the "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon", it can only be regarded as a superior method, but it is known as the sword art with the strongest killing power under the gods. Other killing moves such as "Taiyin Thirteen Swords" can only be practiced by gods.

Although Zhang Yuelu has not yet become a god, it is impossible for him to condense a thousand swords. At most, he only has a hundred swords at this time. But the power of a hundred swords is also extremely terrifying.

The Qigong Master had been in Guizhen for many years and had seen many big scenes, but he was still emotional after seeing this scene.

The next moment, Zhang Yuelu rushed forward quickly, and saw hundreds of swords stabbing forward. The Qigong Master controlled two flying swords to strangle more than 80 swords, but was still hit by the remaining more than 20 sword qi, causing him to retreat more than ten feet backwards, and his back slammed into a tree that three people hugged, causing the tree to shake continuously, which stopped the trend of defeat.

Zhang Yuelu pointed his toes, and his figure swept in front of the Qigong Master, pressing down with a sword.

After being close to him, the advantages of the flying sword were difficult to play. The Qigong Master could only put away the flying sword for the time being, and pulled out the long sword behind his back to block the sword. He felt a weight of ten thousand pounds on his hands, and the whole person could not stand up, so he had to kneel on the ground.

Qigong Master Zhang Yuelu had to hold the sword with both hands, and then he could barely hold it.

Zhang Yuelu held the sword in one hand and pressed it down, and slapped the forehead of the Qi Refiner with her left palm.

The Qi Refiner directly broke the big tree behind him in half and flew backwards, his Qi disordered, his blood churning, and golden stars bursting in front of his eyes.

After the Qi Refiner stood up, he was about to calm the disordered Qi in his body, but Zhang Yuelu suddenly appeared in front of him and kept striking out with the sword.

The Qi Refiner, who had exhausted his old Qi and had not yet generated new Qi, struggled with Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu's face was slightly pale, which was a sign of excessive Qi loss. 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 still had the upper hand.

The Qi Refiner swung out a sword, and Zhang Yuelu had expected it. It seemed that she barely avoided it, but in fact, she avoided it just right, without any damage at all. Then the sword hit the "seven inches" of the long sword in the Qi Refiner's hand, causing his Qi flow to be interrupted instantly, and then the army was defeated.

Zhang Yuelu was in a dominant position and did not show mercy. She struck again with a fierce sword.

The Qi Refiner was startled and jumped back quickly, luckily dodging.

However, the sword energy still tore the sleeve of the Qi Refiner, leaving a long blood-red line on his forearm.

The Qi Refiner was not surprised but happy. Zhang Yuelu obviously wanted to stab his chest just now, but she was a little slow, which was a sign that she could not continue.

Let's see how long you can hold on?

Zhang Yuelu knew her own suffering. She was injured in many places by the flying sword of the Qi Refiner before, so her movements were inevitably slow. If she had not been injured, even if this sword did not kill the Qi Refiner, he would not be spared if he continued to pursue her.

However, it is said that those who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black. Zhang Yuelu has been with Qi Xuansu for a long time, and she has learned a lot from Qi Xuansu. In simple terms, Qi Xuansu's realm is not as good as Zhang Yuelu's, but he is good at using his brain when fighting with Zhang Yuelu. He will do anything to achieve his goal. If he can sneak attack, he will never fight head-on. If he can use deception, he will not use it openly. It's like marching and fighting. The best strategy is to attack the enemy's strategy. All is fair in war. It's also a way of deception.

Zhang Yuelu pretended to be exhausted. His face was pale. He leaned on the ground with his sword and gasped.

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 anymore? 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 belly 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 take advantage of Zhang Yuelu's long sword and use it to escape. Unexpectedly, the opponent would suddenly turn his sword and point upward at this critical moment. He slashed the air with his sword, and his body was helpless in mid-air. Spin around and hit 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 Refiner 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... people... know... not to... play some new tricks?"

Qi Xuansu replied: "The trick is not new, it just works."

The Sanren died in despair with anger and unwillingness.
