Sealing Sword

The night was turbulent, and people and things were impermanent in a blink of an eye.

Not long after Chu Xiwei left, Duan Heng sat cross-legged on the same spot, looking at his nose and his heart, seemingly immobile, but actually paying attention to the movement around him.

For those who set up the formation, every plant, every tree, every soil and every stone can be a trap.He treated this forest as a chessboard, and he laid out the black first, and the stakes in the Burial Soul Palace became tightly entangled white pieces.One side is in the light, the other side is in the dark, these piles have become headless chickens, and they can't find a way out. They walked past Duanheng several times, with a murderous look, but they didn't find this old Taoist priest who was so close.

But as time went by, these people became more and more impatient, and Duan Heng's forehead was covered with sweat.

Adaptive, these four words have always been easy to say but difficult to do.Duan Heng knew that it would be impossible to trap these desperadoes for a whole night by himself. He gritted his teeth and was about to change his formation when he suddenly heard a loud noise from the bottom of the cliff, which made the ground tremble. The flying birds startled one after another, and let out continuous sharp calls from their mouths.

That's... the Du'er Cave!

Duan Heng's heart skipped a beat, and then two loud bangs exploded, and the wind swept across the forest, almost knocking him back.

After such a moment of panic, there was a loophole in the formation, and some of the assassins in the Burial Soul Palace who were not far away from him saw the figure, and immediately spread out to encircle him, and each took out their hidden weapons and threw them at him.

In the blink of an eye, Duan Heng pulled the Taoist robe on his body and turned around, dancing the cloth so tightly that it was airtight, sweeping away all the hidden weapons.However, before Duanheng could breathe a sigh of relief, the four killers had already approached him, two of them beheaded, one had his back cut off, and the other cut off his legs shortly, trying to block all his escape routes!

Duanheng hooked and stomped on his feet, and stepped on the blade firmly. He leaned over, and the three knives were pressed on his back.He turned his body along the trend, stretched out his palms, grabbed the arm of a person holding a knife, and used his strength to strike. In a blink of an eye, he attacked four times and defended eight times. When he stood upright, three dead bodies fell under his feet, and the person whose arm was held by him also Blood in throat.

All four of them died under each other's killing moves.

Duan Heng let go of his hand, he was so anxious that he wanted to rush to Du'e Cave to see what happened, but the remaining eight killers pressed on every step of the way.

In terms of martial arts, Duan Heng is not as good as his two senior brothers, not even the senior sister Duan Yi who sits in Wangchen Peak.His internal strength is not weak, but his moves are not flexible enough, and his mind is used to study Qimen Dunjia, so he can't tolerate too many swords, guns and fists.

There is a saying that "two fists are hard to beat four hands", not to mention that the people brought by Burial Soul Palace this time are not mediocre people. Apart from the eight in front of them, there are other people in the forest. That's it.It is difficult for him to kill all these people, and it is not easy for him to leave. In the end of the contest, I am afraid that both sides will suffer, or both will die.

A killer whistled with his finger on his lips, Duan Heng's secret path was not good, and after a while, several ghostly figures flashed in the forest, each with strange movements, entering the battle situation in the blink of an eye.

Seeing sweat on his forehead, Duan Heng clenched his fingers into fists, but the faces of the eight killers in front of him changed drastically - it wasn't their people who came.

There are a dozen of these figures in total, the one at the head is very short, like a child about the same stature as Xie Li.Pale moonlight leaked through the gaps in the leaves, revealing an old face like an orange peel—this was not a child at all, but a dwarf old man.

The killer's eyes turned cold, but when the blade flashed by, the short old man appeared next to Duan Heng, dragging a bloody long thing in his hand.

Duan Heng smelled blood, he looked down at the dwarf old man, who smiled at him.Only then did Duanheng see clearly that the man's hands were severed at the wrist, and two fine iron hooks were installed, one of which was hooking a section of intestine.

With a muffled sound, the blade fell to the ground, and the killer staggered, and stroked his upper abdomen with the palm of his hand belatedly. There was an opening where the flesh was rolled up, and a section of intestine was torn out.

However this only happens between three steps.

For a moment everyone was terrified, Duan Heng's eyes flashed with shock: "You are Xiao..."

"The old ghost is the 'soul seducer' of the Nether Valley." The dwarf old man's voice was hoarse. He glanced behind him and ordered his subordinates, "The situation has changed, kill them all!"

After a pause, he looked at Duan Heng, and said: "The old ghost is ordered by the head of the sect to help the Taoist priest, please follow me and wait for a while!"

Duan Heng frowned, and before he could speak, he caught a glimpse of a cold light from the corner of his eyes, and immediately warned: "Be careful!"

That cold light was a flying knife, coming through the wind, piercing the air with a sharp sound.Seeing the flying knives go straight to Duanheng, a "ghost soul" made a decisive decision and whipped out a soft whip to take advantage of the situation, but instead of knocking down the flying knives, they were scattered.

Impacted by the external force, the blade was immediately sent flying, but several silver needles as thin as a cow's hair exploded from the broken part of the handle, turning around in mid-air, and shooting at everyone present regardless of enemy or friend!

Compared with flying knives, the soft silver needles are almost invisible in the dark night. The dwarf old man pushed Duanheng decisively, and the two of them fell to the ground together, and heard the dull sound of the body falling to the ground behind them.

The needle is poisonous, and the throat is sealed with blood!

In a blink of an eye, there were only two of them alive in the field, no...

The dwarf old man rolled up on the ground like a short melon, his two eyeballs not much bigger than the bastard's eyes stared at the place where the flying knife came from.

Shanfeng took the kill solemnly, but the blade that was knocked flying just now did not land on the ground, but was caught by someone's probing hand, and it twirled between the slender fingers, like a silver-winged butterfly landed on the finger.

A figure flashed in the forest again, but the dwarf old man and Duan Heng were all staring at the woman playing with the blade.

An extremely beautiful woman with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, a graceful waist, slender fingers like sliced ​​green onions, and a pair of eyes shining when she raised her head, like a vixen in a mountain gossip.

According to the information, Xiao Yangu, who was waiting for Bu Xueyao to respond at the foot of the mountain, unexpectedly brought someone here!

"I thought I came here to clean up the miscellaneous fish, but I didn't expect to catch two big heads..." Xiao Yangu chuckled, and looked at the two of them, "Daoist Duanheng? And... Daddy? "

The dwarf old man was expressionless, Duan Heng got the answer to the question in his heart, and secretly said: It really is him.

The ecstasy envoy of the Hundred Ghosts Sect has always lived in seclusion and is a useful person by the side of the old Sect Master Shen Wuduan. He is half a shadow, but because the heroes of the Hundred Ghosts Sect do not ask where they came from, entering the Hollow Valley is like dying once. , farewell to the past, few people know who he is and where he came from.

Even he himself almost forgot.

Xiao Baishui, the former head of the White Tiger Palace in Burying Soul Palace, his hands are like iron hooks of impermanence to restrain the soul. Anyone who falls between his hands and ten fingers has never been killed.

He is also the most loyal minion of the former palace lord Helian Chen, his arms are like fingers, that's why his hands were cut off on the day Mizong Ridge changed, and he was rescued by Shen Wuyuan after falling into the river. , Changed to a new identity to survive.

From then on, Xiao Baishui disappeared, and his only daughter Xiao Yangu took over the White Tiger Palace, but he became a shady "ghost" in Dongming Valley.

"Daddy, since you've been 'dead' for so many years, why don't you just lie down in the ground with peace of mind? Why do you still want to crawl out and continue to make trouble with us?" Xiao Yangu looked at her father, and followed Looking at the lump of rotten meat, there is no difference, "If you die again this time, you will be lost, and there is no way to save it."

The dwarf old man didn't answer her, and didn't even take a second look at her, but bumped into Duanheng, who immediately understood, and the two jumped away, disappearing into the forest in a blink of an eye.

"I want to run, can I run?" Xiao Yangu's mouth curled up, as if a hook was drawn on her face, sharp and thin, and her voice suddenly became cold, "Chasing them all, let's see where they are going !"

As soon as the words were finished, all the subordinates around him chased after her, but Xiao Yangu folded her waist, looked down at the edge of the cliff, smiled inexplicably, and jumped down.

Xiao Yan's lightness skills are not weak, but it is really difficult to walk on this cliff like a flat ground.Fortunately, she was well prepared, the sleeve machine sounded, and a silver wire of iron claws popped out, and she used it to move around on the rocks, like a spider.

She saw the collapsed hole and the blood splashed in front of the platform. She frowned, covered the blood with dust, and continued to search.

After going down like this for a few feet, Xiao Yangu was a little bit powerless.Suddenly, a hand stretched out without a sound, and gently rested on her throat.

The cold fingertips pressed the great veins in the neck, Xiao Yan's bones felt cold all over, and she subconsciously touched it, but it was empty first, and then she touched a finger with scorched skin and rotten flesh.

This is a natural stone platform, and there are caves no more than a foot in it for shelter.He Lianyu was sitting inside, aware of the movement above, and when Xiao Yan's bones fell, he made a sudden move, which almost shocked his subordinates out of their wits.

Even so, Xiao Yan felt chills down her spine.

She looked at Helian Yu, the silver mask that the palace lord always wore was gone, the exposed face was pale and bluish, with blood on the lips, but bloodshot eyes, the aura of the whole person was like a ghost tearing off the painted skin, The man-eating madness that was ready to move made her feel as if she was bitten by the back of the neck by a wild beast, and her whole body trembled.

He Lianyu withdrew his right hand, and Xiao Yangu finally saw clearly that there were only three fingers left on that hand, the index finger and middle finger, which were used to gouging out eyes and piercing the heart, were broken at the same root, and the flesh and blood on the fracture were scorched, which was shocking .

He Lianyu smiled lightly: "Does it look good?"

Xiao Yan was terrified, and quickly looked away: "This subordinate is offended! This place is dangerous, and people from various factions in Wuxiang Temple may rush to it. Please also ask the Palace Master to follow me..."

Helian Yu interrupted her: "Why are you here?"

He stared straight at Xiao Yangu, like a wolf smelling blood, and might bite off a piece of flesh from this person at any time.

Xiao Yan's bones and skin were numb, and she didn't dare to be negligent, she hurriedly said: "When I was waiting at the foot of the mountain, I received an urgent secret letter from 'Hundred Foot', which said 'Sun Mifeng appeared in Jialan City, and the Hundred Ghosts Sect intervened in Wuxiang Temple' , fearing that the palace lord might make a mistake, he chased after him, just in time for this matter."

He Lianyu said in an unclear manner: "You are clever."

Cold sweat covered Xiao Yan's back.

He Lianyu smiled and said: "A smart person is like a double-edged sword, it can hurt others as well as itself."

Xiao Yangu understood the sound: "Palace Master, is he betrayed by a thief this time? Who dares to do this, Yangu will definitely have his muscles and skin peeled off, and I will feel hatred for Palace Master Yixue!"

"You are loyal. It seems that even if I die, I can rest in peace." The ashen look on He Lianyu's face flashed, and his body relaxed, like a tight string that finally collapsed, unable to hold on anymore. Woke up.

Xiao Yangu could see clearly that his internal injuries were serious, his right hand was almost useless, and the power in his body was probably in disorder.

Helian Yu coughed up a mouthful of blood, and said: "Zhao Bing'e betrayed the Buried Soul Palace. I'm seriously injured now, so I can only adjust my breath here. You take my token to meet Bu Xueyao, and change your tactics in advance. Don’t ask this woman to strike first.”

While speaking, his left hand trembled on the girdle, took out a blood-stained token, and handed it to Xiao Yangu.

Xiao Yan's throat choked, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back, but her heart became uncontrollably hot, and she almost stretched out her hand to catch it.

However, she held back after all, lowered her head, avoided the token, but removed the iron claw and silver thread from her hand, handed it to Helian Yu, and said: "The matter is of great importance, the subordinate is incompetent, and has a negative palace." The lord trusts me a lot. You can't stay here for a long time now, the palace lord should leave with his subordinates first, and then make plans!"

He Lianyu looked at her with a half-smile: "Take me, but it will drag you down. There must be a backhand set up by the Hundred Ghosts in this place, and I'm afraid that no one will be able to get away later."

Xiao Yangu said: "If I abandon Palace Master, I will not be able to escape Palace Master Wei's sword piercing heart after returning to Mizong Ridge."

He Lianyu shook his head and said: "Yangu, you are only thirty years old, and you are still in your prime. If you can't get along in this world, you can still find a man to marry, and you can live a peaceful life with a husband and a child. Rong Shu, it's not easy for Zhang Yun to find you."

But Xiao Yangu smiled: "Palace Master, please don't make fun of me. I've been waiting for such a person to live in the bloody storm for a long time, how can I get used to poor food? Those famous and decent people say that they retire after success, and the ordinary Yehu Chan say that they wash their hands in a golden basin." , are all self-effacing words. When a person is in the Jianghu, he should be a Jianghu person in peace, and thinking about those unrealistic things is courting death."

"You understand very well." He Lianyu licked the blood from the corner of his lips, "The more chaotic the world is, the more beneficial it is to the people in the world. It's a pity that there are too many fools in this world who don't understand, thinking that they can change peace by themselves, However, from the previous dynasty to the present, how long have you lived in peace? If you want a good life, you have to fight for it, and those who keep their own place will eventually be the prey of others."

Xiao Yan bowed her head and said: "The dragons in the martial arts forest in the Central Plains have no leader, that's why we were trapped in Wenchan Mountain today. Because of this, the Palace Master must protect himself, and the Buried Soul Palace has the foundation to settle down in the rivers and lakes."

He Lianyu stared at her for a while, finally took the silver thread, wrapped it around his waist, and threw it back to her.

Xiao Yangu didn't dare to hesitate anymore, she tied the silver thread around her body, and climbed down with Helian Yu on her back, but she heard the person behind pointing out: "Xiangdong, there is a path."

She did as she said, and she saw a path hidden among the rocks and broken trees. However, what made her more concerned was that there was blood splattered on the mountain wall, which had not been completely wiped off.

"This……"

"I just met a few 'little ghosts' from the Hundred Ghost Sect, and I sent them to report to Lord Yan." He Lianyu raised his left hand, and Xiao Yangu finally saw the flesh and blood left between his fingers. It was not Helian at all. Guard your own blood!

His right hand is useless, but his left hand is still there!

He is seriously injured, but he can still fight!

Thinking back to just now, every sentence was a temptation, Xiao Yan felt chills in her bones, but she didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and escaped with He Lianyu on her back.

From behind, He Lianyu said softly: "Don't rush to see Bu Xueyao, you take me..."
