Pawn Crossing the River

Soon, Hu Jiaode stopped, and the scene reflected by the flying knife also froze, only swaying slightly with Hu Jiaode's body.

Obviously, Hu Jiaode has not discovered anything unusual about the flying knife. This is an alternative application of the "Demon Eye". It is no longer a pure spell, but uses a special flying knife as a carrier. Of course, these flying knives are very mysterious. They are specially made and the process is not complicated. However, because they are not mass-produced, they cost a lot of money, which Qi Xuansu cannot afford.

Yao Pei said softly: "He went to the lower palace."

"How come the blockade between the upper palace and the lower palace is like paper? Come and go as you say." Qi Xuansu said.

Yao Pei said: "If you have the cultivation level of a heavenly being and have lived in the Wanxiang Dao Palace for many years, it will not be difficult to go to the lower palace quietly."

Qi Xuansu thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case: "Are we going to the lower palace?"

"Of course I want to go. In terms of my familiarity with the Lower Palace, I'm not as good as you. Take a closer look, where is this place?" Yao Pei pointed at the scene in the fragments.

Qi Xuansu carefully identified it for a moment and said: "This should be a place not too far from Xingye Lake."

"Star observatory?" Yao Pei asked.

Qi Xuansu shook his head and said: "No, Xingye Lake has an irregular shape, so its embankment is also winding and quite long. This place is relatively remote and is quite far away from the observatory."...

Yao Pei took out a gold and jade pocket watch, looked at the time, and said: "In another quarter of an hour, if Hu Jiaode has not moved, then we will rush over immediately."

"How do we get down?" Qi Xuansu asked.

Yao Pei took out the token that Sun Hewu temporarily lent her: "Of course, go down from the Mingtang in an honest manner."

Qi Xuansu said no more and waited quietly for a quarter of an hour to pass.

The perspective of the flying knife only moved left and right in a small range. It seemed that Hu Jiaode was pacing back and forth, no longer moving at the same high speed as before.

Yao Pei's eyes were looking at the dial, watching the hands move slowly, and then he closed the watch cover: "Let's go."

The two left Duiyuan and went directly to Mingtang.

The four doors on the second floor were all equipped with spiritual officers, but they did not prevent others from entering the Mingtang. Only when going to the first floor would there be special spiritual officers blocking the way. However, after Yao Pei showed Sun Hewu's token, these The spiritual officer quickly let him go. After reaching the first floor, there were still spiritual officers guarding the main entrance, and they were subject to interrogation when entering and exiting.

The two of them walked out of the main entrance on the first floor of the Mingtang Hall and arrived at the Lower Palace.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but be filled with emotion. After many years, he finally set foot on the land of the lower palace again. It could be said that he returned to his hometown.

Qi Xuansu looked around and said, "It seems like nothing has changed, it's still the same."

"In a few decades, this place will still be the same. Every plant and tree will affect the formation of the entire Wanxiang Dao Palace. It is not easy to change." Yao Pei Shajing said.

Qi Xuansu sighed, said nothing more, and led Yao Pei in the direction of Hu Jiaode.

Compared with the upper palace, the lower palace did not have as many formation restrictions and the defense was relatively loose, so the two of them did not encounter any obstacles along the way and quickly arrived at the shore of Hoshino Lake.

Hu Jiaode stood among the white reed flowers, only his upper body could be seen, and the flying knife on his body was shining with light.

He turned around suddenly, the sword in his hand reflected the moonlight, dazzling Qi Xuansu's eyes.

Hu Jiaode's face was extremely ferocious, with clouds all over his face and full of evil aura, and he stared at the two men fiercely.

Yao Pei's face was expressionless and his tone was calm, but the content of his words did not hide his disappointment: "He's just pacing back and forth here and doing nothing?"

She designed a not-so-clever trap in a hurry. Hu Jiaode seemed to have fallen into the trap, but he seemed not to have fallen into the trap.

Qi Xuansu had already pressed down on the handle of "Fei Ying" and said slowly: "It seems like this."

Yao Pei held a flying knife between the two fingers of his right hand. Her eyes could even be reflected on the clear blade: "Hu Jiaode, my patience is limited, I can give you one last chance."

Hu Jiaode finally said: "Yao Pei, your Yao family has a better reputation than the Li family, but that is because your Yao family is low-key. If you really want to talk about it in detail, how much better can it be? It falls to you Will there be any luck in my hands?”

Yao Pei stopped talking nonsense, raised his hand, and the flying knife shot out.

Although Hu Jiaode was on guard, Yao Pei predicted his dodge position in advance, so he was unable to dodge the knife and half of his ear was cut off, dripping with blood.

At the same time, Qi Xuansu also drew his sword and rushed towards Hu Jiaode.

The two fought again, and Qi Xuansu directly used the "Magic Sword" this time, but even so, it was still not easy at all. It was indeed the "Thirty-Six Swords of the Big Dipper" known as the most lethal, plus Hu Jiao Qi Xuansu's moral cultivation is a level higher, and his fighting style has no regard for his life. No matter how intuitive and keen Qi Xuansu is, he is still defeated by ten skills.

In the blink of an eye, without any other means, Qi Xuansu could only fight with weapons, but could only parry, without the ability to fight back. Nine out of ten moves were defensive dodges, and only one could counterattack.

If it weren't for Yao Pei's pressure, Qi Xuansu would have been thinking about how to escape.

Just when Qi Xuansu gradually felt that his madness was about to take over his reason, Yao Pei finally took action. The speed was not very fast, but every step he took was just right to avoid the blockage of Hu Jiaode's sword energy. He got close to Hu Jiaode and had more in his hands. A press knife.

This is a short knife used for self-defense. As the name suggests, it is a knife used to press clothes. It is slightly longer than a dagger, but its length is also limited. A powerful man in the world once killed his own wife with this knife, so Become famous.

But when it comes to fighting head-on, this kind of short weapon has a natural disadvantage. Qi Xuansu did not expect Yao Pei to use such a weapon.

The next scene cannot be said to be mysterious. In the eyes of ordinary people, it will only feel ordinary. It is like a weak woman who does not know how to use a knife. She holds up the short sword in her hand and walks step by step towards the swordsman wielding the long sword. Go, walking at a normal pace, taking one step and stopping for two steps, but the swordsman seemed to ignore the woman at all and only focused on fighting with the young man in front of him with a knife.

Although the woman's steps were messy, her speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, she was only three feet away from the swordsman.

Hu Jiaode knew it was hard. It wasn't that he didn't want to stop Yao Pei, but that every time he used his sword to stop him, Yao Pei would just dodge it like he was predicting the future. When he turned to deal with Qi Xuansu, Yao Pei would move forward again. , every move was within her expectation, there was no sharp sword aura, nor was there any crazy momentum, she just stopped and walked, and came to Hu Jiaode in an understatement.

Hu Jiaode forced Qi Xuansu back violently and used the "Sword Shocking Cang Lei" move in the "Thirty-Six Sword Techniques of the Big Dipper". As long as Yao Pei intersects with the long sword in his hand, he can use the sword's intention to resonate the true energy. Shocking the true energy in Yao Pei's body.

It's just that Yao Pei happened to be in a wrong position and dodged the sword, as if he was predicting the future. He even took advantage of this opportunity to get within three feet of Hu Jiaode, and stabbed Hu Jiaode's chest with the clothes-pressing knife in his hand. Heart.

Hu Jiaode had no choice but to take a step forward, clamp the clothes-pressing knife between the two fingers of his left hand that had never held a sword, and directly use the "Yuan Yi Initial Sword Qi" in the "Thirty-Six Sword Techniques of the Big Dipper".

Yuanshi is the unity of yin and yang, which is the beginning of form. It is transformed into form by gas. It has form but no quality. Since it has no quality, it cannot be followed. There is no birth and death, so it is not bound by things and cannot be controlled.

In an instant, with Hu Jiaode's location as the center, all within a radius of a hundred feet was filled with sword energy.

There is no room for dodge.

Regardless of Yao Pei's movements, two intersecting snake shadows appeared with her as the center, forming a closed circle that covered approximately three feet in radius.

Within the scope of the snake shadow, everything lost its color and turned into pure black and white, and then became stagnant.

It was as if time stood still at this moment.

Naturally, those invisible sword energies were no exception, and they completely stopped when they were less than half a foot away from Yao Pei.

Hu Jiaode still had a look of surprise on his face, as if he had seen something very terrifying.

Yao Pei withdrew the clothes-pressing knife from between Hu Jiaode's two fingers and inserted the knife again.

Almost at the same time, the two snake shadows began to fade, and Hu Jiaode regained his color, no longer static, and returned to normal visibly to the naked eye.

But it was too late, Yao Pei had already stabbed Hu Jiaode in the heart.

Hit the bullseye.

Yao Pei is also a celestial being in the carefree stage. Yao Pei is a banished immortal, possesses half-immortal objects, has mental arithmetic but no intention, and has Qi Xuansu as a helper to attract attention from the front and create conditions for her.

When so many factors are added up, Yao Pei has a huge crushing advantage. Just one strike can determine the outcome, as well as life and death.

This is also the difference between Yao Pei and Qi Jianyuan. She is an extremely pragmatic person who does everything to win. In this regard, she is quite similar to Qi Xuansu.

Even if a heavenly being's heart is broken, he will not die immediately, but the clothes-pressing knife in Yao Pei's hand is obviously not a mortal thing, and Hu Jiaode's true energy and vitality begin to collapse rapidly.

After a moment, the special Jin Zi teacher fell to the ground.

After Qi Xuansu was forced to retreat, he kept "appeasing" his madness and did not take advantage of the situation to attack. When he regained his composure, he saw Yao Pei groping around Hu Jiaode's body and found a sumeru object that looked like a jade pendant.

With someone like Yao Pei, of course she is not coveting that little property, she must be looking for relevant clues.

After a while, Yao Pei suddenly held the jade pendant in his palm, frowned for the first time and said: "No..."

"What's not there?" Qi Xuansu asked, "Is it a list? If there are not many people, then there is no need for a list at all, just keep it in your heart. It is reasonable if there is not."

Yao Pei shook his head and said: "It's not a list, it's a container."

Qi Xuansu was startled: "What container?"

Yao Pei said: "Of course it is a container that contains the divine power. Since they are seeking the divine power in the statue of the Holy Master, and they cannot take away the entire statue of the Holy Master, there must be a special container that can hold the power of the incense. How could it not be? What went wrong?"

"Is the container on the body of those little minions? Or is it hidden somewhere by Hu Jiaode?" Qi Xuansu said.

Yao Pei said nothing, lost in thought, and his eyes gradually turned white.
