Nine swords

When Ye Gucheng arrived at Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, the sword competition had already begun.

Ximen Chuuxue's sword is always forward, and he never seems to hesitate.As for Dugu Yihe, his swordsmanship has been powerful in martial arts for decades, and I don't know how many new and famous swordsmen died under his sword.

The sword is ruthless, but how can a person be as ruthless as a sword?

Ye Gucheng was deeply moved by the wonderful decisive battle in front of him. He suddenly felt that this decisive battle was beautiful-the interlaced sword lights, the same persistent eyes, and the courage to go forward, really It's beautiful.

When it's over, he actually thinks the life-and-death duel is beautiful? !Ye Gucheng had the urge to lament: Has he really become a "qualified Jianghu man"?People in the Jianghu regard killing as beautiful, and take pride in blood—this is really too cruel, and it doesn't fit his worldview... Could it be that he will become like Ximen Chuuxue in the future, thinking that blood blooming on the tip of the sword is a The most beautiful scenery in the world? !Ye Gucheng felt a little hairy on his back.

However, regardless of whether this duel talisman conforms to Ye Gucheng's worldview, since it is a duel, it cannot be resolved peacefully.At this time, the duel has reached the final moment, the juncture of life and death, Ximen Chuuxue sword has no regrets - he has stabbed his strongest sword!

Ye Gucheng's eyes were very bright, very bright: he clenched the hilt of his sword, trying to restrain himself, as if his sword couldn't help but wanted to unsheath itself.

And Ye Gucheng himself couldn't help but wonder whether his Flying Immortal could beat Ximen Chuuxue's sword?

Whether Tianwai Feixian can beat Ximen Chuuxue depends on the experience; but at this moment, Ximen Chuuxue is obviously half a point slower than Dugu Yihe - Ye Gucheng can see it, and Dugu Yihe naturally knows it too, Ximen Chuuxue It is more clear: before his sword pierces Dugu Yihe's throat, Dugu Yihe's sword has already passed through his heart!

At that moment, the corner of Dugu Yihe's mouth slightly curved - the one who will win is him, which is naturally something to be happy about.

However, "will win" does not mean that he has already won. Could it be that Dugu Yihe was a little bit happier? !

That small arc remained on Dugu Yihe's face forever, just because he was dead, and the dead man's expression would naturally not change.

Who killed Dugu Yihe?It was Ximen Chuuxue's sword that pierced Dugu Yihe's throat, but Dugu Yihe's sword stopped at the last moment—his sword stopped, so it was him who died, not Ximen Chuuxue.

But Dugu Yihe didn't deserve to die, this duel was not a fair duel!

Ximen Chuuxue abruptly withdrew his sword and raised his head. His gaze was cold, and there was deep anger hidden in it—this was supposed to be a fair decisive battle, and no one should interfere, even if he would die!Ximen Chuuxue's kendo is "sincerity", so he hates "dishonesty", and he can't tolerate "dishonesty" things happening to him. This is simply a desecration of his kendo and an insult to him!

But just now someone intervened and plotted against Dugu Yihe at the last moment!

Who is involved?Who is plotting? !Ximen Chuuxue stared at Ye Gucheng standing on the eaves.

Ye Gucheng drew his sword violently, turned around and stabbed, a black shadow turned over and smashed a tile on the roof, and kicked the broken tile into the air in an instant, smashing Ye Gucheng's sword away Jian—it was this man in black who plotted against Dugu Yihe before.

Just now, the man in black was lying on the tile behind Ye Gucheng, as silent as a gecko.The three masters were all on the spot, but none of them noticed him!Perhaps there was a very important reason that the three of them were all focused on this decisive battle, but the hiding skills of the man in black were definitely top-notch.

Master, another master!When did this world have so many masters?

The rivers and lakes are indeed unfathomable.

Ximen Chuuxue had raised his sword to kill, Ye Gucheng withdrew his sword and stood aside - Ximen Chuuxue didn't need his help. Dugu Yihe's subordinates, Ye Gucheng probably won't make a move... But will Ximen Chuuxue die?It was precisely because Ye Gucheng believed that Ximen Chuuxue would not die, so he did not act.This seems like a paradox, but as expected, even if Ye Gucheng didn't make a move, someone else would.

Who is this black-clothed man?

The first person in Ye Gucheng's mind was Gong Jiu, but the man in black was obviously not Gong Jiu.

Not to mention that it is impossible for Gong Jiu to help Ximen Chuuxue, if he is here, it would be a good idea not to plot against Ximen Chuuxue; what's more, considering Gong Jiu's injury and the time he was separated from Ye Gucheng, there is nothing he can do Get here before Ye Gucheng—Gong Jiu is just a pervert, not a god.The man in black had obviously been hiding here for a long time, and he might even have come earlier than Dugu Yihe so that he could not be noticed by the later three people.

This mysterious man in black has very high martial arts. After watching it for a while, Ye Gucheng was shocked to realize that he was definitely no match for this man before he had mastered the art of swordsmanship, and Ximen Chuuxue was the same.What's more, Ximen Chuuxue had just fought to the death with Dugu Yihe, and his internal strength was almost exhausted, and he was sustaining it with a wave of anger at this moment.

Fortunately, the man in black didn't have any malicious intentions, it was really obvious, he plotted against Dugu Yihe, wasn't it just to save Ximen Chuuxue?

The martial arts of the man in black are weird, but majestic. He pushed Ximen Chuuxue's sword away with his fingers, and there was a clanging sound—could his fingers be made of steel?Ye Gucheng wiped his sweat from the bottom of his heart. There are many masters in the ancient dragon world. It seems that he must constantly improve and improve. Force is the root of everything...

However, Ye Gucheng couldn't help thinking: If Gong Jiu was "intact" at this time, would he be able to defeat this mysterious man in black?

Ye Gucheng hasn't realized yet that he can easily think of Gong Jiu now, and he can't help comparing with Gong Jiu whenever he encounters anyone or anything.

If Gong Jiu knew Ye Gucheng's thoughts, he might wake up laughing from his dream, but it's a pity that he didn't know, not only didn't he know, but he was very angry.

Because in the early morning of the next day, Gong Jiu did not need to send anyone to inquire about the news that Ximen Chuuxue had defeated Dugu Yihe.The news spread like the wind, further fueling Ximen Chuuxue's reputation of "Invincible Sword".

Gong Jiu's face turned dark, very dark.

From Gong Jiu's point of view, this is definitely Ye Gucheng's intrusion, otherwise how could Ximen Chuuxue kill Dugu Yihe?Obviously Huo Tianqing has already been sent away by him!

So when Ye Gucheng walked into the courtyard in the golden light of the rising sun, what he saw was Gong Jiu's dark face.

"The city lord went to watch the decisive battle, and he was able to watch it all night. It's really fun!"

Ye Gucheng suddenly felt that Gong Jiu's tone had the feeling of a little daughter-in-law complaining that her husband didn't come home all night, and he couldn't help feeling a hair on his back.

After thinking for a while, Ye Gucheng said: "This battle is very beautiful, and I have gained a lot." Sword beauty is even more beautiful.

But Gong Jiu seemed to be even more unhappy after hearing what Ye Gucheng said, only to hear him ask in a sullen tone: "A decisive battle between masters is only a hundred moves at most, where did the city lord go after that?" The content of the words sounded a bit like cross-examination, but he stared at Ye Gucheng with a pair of "resentful" eyes, which made Ye Gucheng feel a little funny, and he didn't feel unhappy at all.

So Ye Gucheng told the truth, saying: "Afterwards, I will discuss the sword with the master of Ximen."

What Ye Gucheng said was the real truth. Last night, the man in black and Ximen Chuuxue made a few tricks and then left.Ximen Chuuxue didn't chase him, and Ye Gucheng wouldn't chase him. It's definitely not easy to catch up to the man in black, let alone defeat him?Ye Gucheng actually already had a guess about the identity of the man in black.

Besides, Ye Gucheng also secretly felt that Ximen Chuuxue was too serious, not to say that being serious was bad, after all, his swordsmanship is "sincerity", there is no way to change this.But thinking about it in another way, if Ye Gucheng was the one who was fighting Dugu Yihe, and someone "saved" him at a critical moment, he would only be thankful and not complain. It can only be said that Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue, they The concept is different.

Although the ideas are different, kendo can communicate with each other, so Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue signaled to each other, and finally Ye Gucheng took them with them, and flew together in the middle of the night to the pavilion where Ye Gucheng and Gong Jiu played chess and tasted tea together last time To discuss the sword.

The moonlight is long, the lake is sparkling, and in the pavilion, two white-clothed swordsmen are sitting and discussing their swords—according to Ye Gucheng's thinking: this is really stylish!This is basically what Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue should do!What is the top of the Forbidden City, let's go!The two of them are supposed to be "heart-to-heart" and "confidantes to each other". They shouldn't be fighting life and death at all, that's a pity.

After a few days of epiphany, and after discussing swords with Ximen Chuuxue, Ye Gucheng feels that he has gained a lot. As long as he fights against top masters a few more times, his martial power will reach its peak.

However, Ye Gucheng's truth obviously made Gong Jiu so angry that Gong Jiu's face suddenly turned pale, as pale as snow, and then he coughed violently and spit out several mouthfuls of blood before giving up.Then Gong Jiu asked: "On the sword? If the city lord doesn't invite Ximen Zhuangzhu to the inn to have a good chat, where can we go in the middle of the night?"

Gong Jiu is asking this question clearly, but Ye Gucheng vomited blood seeing Gong Jiu, it is not easy to be considerate of others poking him two holes, and his swordsmanship can be regarded as "not inferior to Ximen Chuuxue" He continued to tell the truth, saying: "Huguang Pavilion." The pavilion by the lake is called Huguang Pavilion.

Gong Jiu was so aggrieved that he wanted to vomit his heart out, that Huguang Pavilion was his private treasure, even if others offered a sky-high price, they wouldn't even think about going in there, unless Gong Jiu was in a good mood.Before Gong Jiu took Ye Gucheng there to experience the beautiful scenery of the lake in order to please him, but Ye Gucheng turned around and went there to discuss swords with Ximen Chuuxue? !That Huguang Pavilion is Gong Jiu's property...Ye Gucheng's actions really...make Gong Jiu want to tear down that Huguang Pavilion!It must be dismantled!

Gong Jiu laughed back in anger, and suddenly asked softly: "What is the relationship between Ye Chengzhu and Ximen Zhuangzhu?"

Ye Gucheng said seriously: "A confidant."

Gong Jiu asked again: "Then what is the relationship between me and Lord Ye?"

Ye Gucheng was still serious and said, "Friend."

Gong Jiu paused, and continued to ask: "I wonder if the city lord and I can become confidants?"

Ye Gucheng looked at Gong Jiu, and after a long time, he said firmly, "No."
