Where is Our Agreement to be Each Other's Arch-Rivals?

All the way to the north, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the nights are getting longer and longer.

Su Yan and Gu Feidi had no choice but to continue traveling at night, hoping to get around from the northern border to the back of the royal court of Eruo Ghost Tent within fifteen days.

Although the Eruo Ghost Tent has a vast territory, most of the land is covered by ice and snow all the year round, so it is not suitable for animal husbandry and farming. Most people here rely on fishing and hunting for their livelihood.In winter, prey is scarce, so there are almost no people on the ice sheet at this time.

Fortunately, the mountains here are covered by large expanses of coniferous forests, which made the appearance of Su Yan and Gu Feidi less abrupt.

On the seventh night of circling the ice field, the two encountered their first battle with the scouts of the Ero's tent.

There were four people on the other side, and one of them brought a ghost owl. Fortunately, Gu Feidi reacted quickly. Before he could release the ghost owl, he cut the little bird in two with his sword.Seeing that the ghost owl was unable to convey the message, one of the four tried to escape, but Su Yan surrounded him with extremely fast movements.

The scouts of Eruo Ghost Tent seem to be able to form some kind of battle formation, and their martial arts moves also echo each other. In addition, there are always people wandering around trying to break through the blocking of Su Yan and Gu Feidi. The two teamed up to defend against the four The attack of the scouts, but also to prevent them from fleeing, this battle did not go smoothly.

Su Yan used the flower cherishing step to the extreme, coupled with the attack mode of "Zen Hongmei Drunken and Reckless", and only then managed to behead the scout who had been trying to escape.

After the battle situation became two against three, the two finally gradually gained the upper hand. The scouts were soon unable to parry, and eventually all died.

Gu Feidi knew that Su Yan was still not used to killing and bloodshed, so he asked him to stand by and cut the sword wounds on the scouts so that they could not see the sword skills of Tengyun Pavilion and the Demon Sect.

He didn't bother to bury the body. First, because the battle marks here are too obvious. The snow and soil layers have been turned over, and they cannot be perfectly covered. Second, they have found traces of wolves on the way. Thinking about it, The smell of blood is so strong here, and prey is scarce in winter, there will always be wild beasts to help them eliminate many traces here.

After briefly dealing with the scene, Gu Feidi took Su Yang and left the place overnight.

After walking quickly in the snowy night for about half an hour, the two of them stopped and prepared to take turns to rest.

Gu Feidi looked at the star-studded sky, recalled the battle just now, and said: "The saber techniques used by those people just now are coordinated tacitly. If there are a few more people next time, you and I will not be able to parry. Once someone comes to you The Eruo Ghost Tent has delivered a message, and our whereabouts will definitely be exposed."

Su Yan nodded: "Fortunately, Xihua's steps are strong enough so that I can stop the person who is about to run away..."

After pondering for a moment, Gu Feidi said: "When I was in the snowy mountain before, the sword technique that I wanted to create to harmonize with Zuizhanhongmei had already taken shape. Why don't you and I use the time we are on the road to make good use of it? Perfect. In the future, it may be useful for raiding the White Witch Tower in Eruo Ghost Tent."

Of course Su Yang agreed: "Okay"

From this day on, the two of them were on their way while deliberating on Gu Feidi's new sword technique.

As they approached the king's court of Eruo's ghost tent, their encounters with the scouts of the ghost tent became more and more frequent.Until one night, the one who came to stop them was no longer a scout, but a killer from the Shadow Camp of the Black Feather Army.

Fortunately, Su Yan and Gu Feidi have always been on guard, and the stealth skills of these killers from the Shadow Camp are more than a star and a half behind Luo Yin. .

"Our whereabouts have been exposed." Gu Feidi put his palm on the hilt of his sword, frowned and said, "There are still two days until Xiaohan... I don't know how the situation is with senior."

Su Yan was also ready to face the battle. Hearing this, he pursed his lips and said, "I don't know, and I don't care about them anymore. Let's get rid of these guys first."

As soon as the words fell, several killers lurking on the side suddenly jumped up, without any fancy moves, like sharp arrows, suddenly rushed towards the seemingly defenseless two people.

Su Yan started with the "Drunken Thinking Immortal" form of Zuizhan Hongmei.His set of swordsmanship originally didn't have a name for the move, but Gu Feidi picked it up for him when he and Gu Feidi were studying the move of combining two swords these two days.

Cooperating with Su Yi, Gu Feidi swung the Su Xin Sword in his hand, and made a move of "Dream Immortal Journey" - his new sword technique was called "Dream Yin Baihe", which was similar to the extremely fiery "Phoenix Sword" in Su Yan's dream. The artistic conception of "Hunting" is completely different. It lacks the aggressiveness of burning everything forward, but it has a little more harmony like Tai Chi. It combines attack and defense very skillfully, so as to make up for the hangover. Missing defensive moves.

The two moves of swordsmanship, one offensive and one defensive, blocked all the changing directions of the attacking killers, forcing them to stop and retreat.

However, the assassination of the Shadow Battalion of the Black Feather Army focused on suddenness. At this moment, their surprise attack was intercepted, and the few people who showed up were already at a disadvantage.As a result, several killers took a step back almost in unison, intending to disperse and escape.

Su Yan took the step of cherishing flowers, raised his sword and drew an arc on this not-so-big open space, followed by two moves of "Drunk Penglai" and "Drunk Fugui", intercepting the three people who were fleeing to the east. .

On the other side, Gu Feidi turned over and jumped behind the two men who were trying to escape, using his immense internal energy, he used the "Meng Xingyun" move to knock the two killers to the ground, and then followed up with the "Meng Hun Xiang" move. , Will lead the leader of this killer team beheaded.

Seeing Gu Feidi and Su Yan's high martial arts skills and knowing that they could not escape alone, the killers immediately joined forces, brandished their scimitars, and formed a battle formation.

Su Yan and Gu Feidi have seen this kind of battle formation several times, but it was used by scouts at that time, which was a bit different from the formation used by the killers. In terms of lethality, it was obvious that the formations used by these killers were even better.The battle formation was both offensive and defensive, and Su Yan and Gu Feidi were at a loss as to what to do.

This place is not far from the king's court of Eruo's ghost tent, and looking around, you can still see the smoke rising in the distance - not far from here, there must be a village settlement in Eruo's ghost tent.

Therefore, the longer this battle drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Su Yan and Gu Feidi, but the killers like E Luo Guizhang are very likely to wait for reinforcements.

In desperation, Su Yan and Gu Feidi had no choice but to take the initiative to launch an offensive in order to quickly end the battle and escape from here.

But the battle formation formed by the killers is not so easy to be defeated. During the fight, Gu Feidi was even cut by the opponent's poisonous machete. If Su Yan hadn't used the half-withered red to help him dispel the poison, he would have died at this time. Can't move.

Grasping this mistake of the two, the killers of the Shadow Camp turned their defense into an offense, changed their battle formation, and once again attacked Su Yan and Gu Feidi who were supporting each other in the field.

With a light "tsk", Su Yan did not take back the half-withered red extreme cold internal energy, but poured them into the meridians as he did on the snow mountain back then, accumulated them in sword moves, gritted his teeth tightly to resist the coldness of the whole body, and replaced the flying flowers A tactic to block the attacks of the killers.

At the same time, Gu Feidi's Zhenyuan swordsmanship struck, forcing all four assassins back.

However, a killer took advantage of this huge force to retreat and escape quickly. The other three wrapped up Su Yan and Gu Feidi respectively, and they were separated from each other with sword wounds.

Seeing that they had no time to take care of the fleeing assassin, Su Yan and Gu Feidi were a little anxious.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a feathered arrow flew out of the coniferous forest without a sound, and flew straight at the escaped assassin.

The feather arrow was not fast, and the assassin dodged it lightly, but at the next moment, he was pierced in the chest by the gray-clothed man who suddenly attacked from behind a cedar tree nearby, and killed him on the spot.

Su Yan and Gu Feidi quickly dealt with the rest of the killers, and looked at the man in gray who was walking on the snow.

"The Shadow Battalion of the Black Feather Army has received a mission to assassinate you."

Luo Yin walked very steadily, walked slowly in front of Su Yan and Gu Feidi, nodded slightly as a greeting, and continued: "However, they received orders to kill Gu Feidi and capture Su Yan alive."

Gu Feidi took a few steps forward and stood side by side with Su Yan. The two greeted Luo Yin. Gu Feidi asked, "How did you know the order they received?"

Luo Yin said: "Uncle contacted former comrades in the Black Feather Army for me, and secretly instigated two generals and several small teams."

While speaking, the person who had just hid in the dark and shot the cold arrow came out of the coniferous forest. It turned out to be a middle-aged man wearing the costume of a soldier in Eruo's ghost camp.The man did not step forward, still standing in the shadow of the cedar, guarding his surroundings.

"Before you, two flower attendants from the Devil's Cult were discovered and killed by the Black Feather Army. Therefore, Uncle speculates... Maybe there are others who have also sneaked into the ice field at this moment."

Luo Yin didn't specify the object of this guess, but both Su Yan and Gu Feidi knew that Luo Yuding had guessed the whereabouts of the leader of the Demon Cult.

Luo Yin continued: "You have been discovered by Eruo Ghost Tent, so my uncle asked me to ask you if you are willing to reveal to the Ghost Tent Royal Court that your target is the White Fire Gu, so as to attract Black Feather. The army's attention will create a better opportunity for that person to infiltrate."

Hearing this, Su Yan and Gu Fei looked at each other hostilely, and it was difficult to make a decision.

There are still two days before Xiaohan, if they reveal the destination of this trip, it will definitely attract the attention of the White Witch Pagoda, strengthen their guard, and it will be even more difficult to obtain the White Fire Gu.

But on the other hand, the Black Feather Army has already noticed their movements, as long as they continue to follow them in the next two days, they will know that they are going to the White Witch Tower.In this way, it seems to make no difference whether they disclose or not disclose the destination of their trip.

Gu Feidi pondered for a moment, then asked: "If our purpose is known to the Royal Court of Eruo Ghost Tent, will it be helpful for your next actions?"

Luo Yin nodded and guessed: "If your goal is determined, the Royal Court will most likely send additional troops to the White Witch Tower. At that time, one of the Black Feather Army squads that my uncle instigated will ask for orders to garrison, and I will You can use the White Witch Tower to fight, mix into that team, sneak into the royal court, and assassinate Eluojue."

The plan was good, but it meant that Su Yan and Gu Feidi would become the targets of the entire Eruo Ghost Tent Royal Court in the next two days, and it was absolutely impossible to have any rest time.They will be caught in assassinations and encounters one after another, and they will even encounter unprecedented resistance during official operations.

Gu Feidi didn't answer immediately.

He turned his head to look at Su Yan, waiting for the other party to reply first.

Su Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, finally, he tightened his fingers slightly and clenched his fist.

"Yes." He said, "Anyway, our whereabouts have been exposed, and fights will be inevitable in these two days. If you have a lot of debts, don't worry, just fight."
