That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 148 Said that the young master chased and escaped in the forest

After the dark guards came out in full force, Yue Ping retreated to Duanmu's side, and said solemnly: "This man's strength is close to the realm of ghosts and immortals, and the sword in his hand is very powerful. It's just easy to destroy gold and jade, and ice silk can trap him too much." live."

Duanmuyu smiled nonchalantly and said: "That person was my old acquaintance just now, I thought he had died on Biyou Island, but later I heard that the Town Demon Palace was hunting him, so I realized that he was not dead. Recently, the Temple of Demon Suppression failed to catch him after such a big battle, so it is not surprising that you are not his opponent."

Taoist Meiyan lowered her voice and asked, "My lord, who is this person?"

Duanmuyu smiled slightly, and said softly: "His name is Xu Beiyou, he is the authentic young master of Jianzong. I met him once when I accompanied the princess to Danxia village last year, but I didn't know him at the time. In retrospect, His Royal Highness condescended to talk to him at that time, probably because he had doubts about his identity, but I was so focused on the princess that I didn't pay much attention to this young man. It's a big mistake."

Duanmuyu paused, and then said: "There are rumors that Gongsun Zhongmou passed on the position of suzerain to him before his death, but his qualifications were too young to convince the public, so he went from the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River, intending to find the elder of the sword sect. With Zhang Xueyao's support, the Temple of Demon Suppression set up a net all the way, but he still walked to the south of the Yangtze River, from this point of view, it is indeed not easy."

Yue Ping suddenly said, "It turned out to be him. He has long heard that the master of Zhenmo Palace came to Jiangdu. He didn't know it before, so today he knows the cause and effect after hearing what the young master said."

Duanmuyu sneered and said, "The reason why Zhenmo Hall puts so much effort into hunting down Xu Beiyou is not because he is afraid that he will become popular. After all, the Daoist sect has the confidence. To put it bluntly, we still need to rush to recover the Immortal Sword and Zhuxian. The Master Zhangjiao already has two gods. The Great Supreme Treasure, if this last one can be completed, the Three Treasures are in the body, even the gods in the sky will have nothing to do with it. At that time, whether it is my court or the long-dormant Buddhism or Xuanjiao, they will all be in front of the Taoist sect Bow your head."

Yue Ping, who heard about this for the first time, had an unconcealable look of surprise on her face.

Duanmuyu put his arms around her, and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about that, it's the right thing to do to help my young master to disperse his energy first."

Yue Ping regained her charming look just now, snuggled into Duanmuyu's arms, and hummed softly.

On the other side, Xu Beiyou used the sword Qiyi sword again, swipe his figure again and again, and in a moment he left the scope of the Taoist temple and entered the dark dense forest. To, like a gangrene attached to the bone, the ghost lingers.

The Dark Guard Mansion has a complex heritage and is proficient in various heresy ways, especially good at tracking. Among the dark guards brought by Duanmuyu this time, there are some who are good at the secret technique of scent tracking, and their sense of smell is even stronger than those on the grassland. The wild wolf happened to be in a dense forest that was inaccessible, without the interference of other people's smell, no matter how Xu Beiyou fled, he couldn't get rid of these hidden guards.

The leading dark guard held the Xiuchun knife in his hand, and led more than ten dark guards to pursue from the front in a fan formation. The other twenty dark guards were divided into two groups and spread out from the two wings, so that Xu Beiyou did not turn or turn. There is no room for turning back, but to run all the way forward.

After more than half an hour, the dark guards rushed out of the dense forest, and a burst of cold water vapor rushed towards their faces, completely blocking the smell left by Xu Beiyou.

In front of everyone, a rushing river appeared, this river divided the dense forest into two, and the trace left by Xu Beiyou ended here.

The leader of the hidden guards waved his hand, and one of the hidden guards crossed the river to the opposite side of the river bank, and began to bend down to check for clues on the ground. After a while, the hidden guard jumped back to the river bank again, shook his head and said, "There is no trace. "

The dark guard who is good at tracking with scent said: "That person probably jumped into the river to escape, so that he can hide his body without leaving any trace."

The gloomy commander of the dark guard nodded, "Unexpectedly, this kid is a bit wise, so let's follow him along the river. Don't be careless. If you let this person go, the young master will not be able to justify it."

All the hidden guards promised in deep voices.

It is true that Xu Beiyou jumped into the river to escape. Earlier, he escaped with the sword seven, and within a short time of a stick of incense, he was nearly a hundred feet away from the hidden guard behind him, but even so, he couldn't get rid of the hidden guard behind him. Foolish people, knowing that these hidden guards absolutely do not have the ability of earth immortal masters to seek energy and track them down, most of them left small traces on their own, so after seeing this river, they jumped into it and went down the river regardless of the cold water , no longer leave clues to the hidden guards.

However, the speed of the river is limited, and it cannot match the strength of the dark guard's feet. Going down the river is not a long-term solution. The key is to get rid of the person who is good at tracking.

It didn't take long for the dark guards to catch up. A thin dark guard suddenly stopped, sniffed slightly with his nose, and said with a frown, "It seems that his smell has appeared here."

The other hidden guards also stopped, and the leader of the hidden guards was slightly taken aback, then his face changed suddenly: "Be careful, that person is hiding here!"

Before the words were finished, a piece of turf and soil burst open, and with a flash of sword light, the head of the skinny dark guard was already flying high, with a shocked expression on his face and his eyes wide open.

Seeing this scene, the leader of the dark guards was furious, and with a humming and trembling sound from the Xiuchun knife in his hand, he slashed fiercely at Xu Beiyou who was covered in mud.

Xu Beiyou held the long and narrow sword Quexie in his left hand, and blocked the Xiuchun knife, then Tian Lan in his right hand turned back to defend, and both swords came out together, forcing the leader of the dark guard who was also at the first rank to retreat.

Competing with others in sword fighting, Xu Beiyou likes to gain power and not give in to others. He doesn't stick to sword moves. He turns his body along the way, uses two swords to use ten swords, and rolls two swords at once.

Sword Qi soared.

Xu Beiyou, who has always been hiding and clumsy, has already approached the realm of ghosts and immortals with the momentum of the sword ten rolling swords. anti.

With a fierce sound of gold and stone, the Xiuchun knife was broken in two, and the right hand of the commander of the dark guard holding the knife was dripping with blood.

At this time, the surrounding dark guards had already raised the crossbows they carried with them, and the dim crossbows had no light at all in the night, making it dark and scary.

These two things are not the crossbows of ordinary troops, but the Tianji crossbow and God-destroying arrows specially used by the Dark Guard Mansion. The god-killing arrows carried by the personal guards are the superior eighth class. Although they cannot be used on a large scale like the ninth class, they are more sinister and vicious in small-scale battles.

Accompanied by the almost inaudible sound of the crossbow, the crossbow arrows shot.

The God Extinguishing Arrow was silent, and it was even more difficult to detect it under the darkness of night.

Xu Beiyou didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, he didn't care about his manners, and rolled a series of rolls on the spot, narrowly dodging the first wave of crossbow arrows.

All the crossbow arrows sank into the ground without making any sound, just like an iron stick piercing tofu.

The second wave of crossbow arrows followed closely and shot directly at Xu Beiyou's vitals.

Xu Beiyou swung his sword to block the two arrows, the blade trembled unceasingly, and the tiger's mouth was numb from the shock. At the same time, his body fell back to the ground, and he used his energy to push his figure to slide back quickly.

A series of crossbow arrows just missed Xu Beiyou.

However, there was still a fish that slipped through the net and shot Xu Beiyou's thigh, and a sinister energy flowed into Xu Beiyou's body along the wound.

"Go to hell!" The commander of the dark guard, who had injured his hand, laughed grinningly, holding the obviously larger Tianji crossbow in one hand, and pulled the trigger to shoot the last arrow.

It shot directly between Xu Beiyou's eyebrows.

At the critical moment, Xu Beiyou, who had nowhere to hide, could only forcefully tilt his head, and the crossbow arrow shot past his cheek, nailed into the sword box behind him, and his tail feathers were still trembling.

Half of Xu Beiyou's face was dripping with blood instantly.

Xu Beiyou only felt blood red in front of his eyes. He stroked the bloodstains on his face with his fingers, held the God-killing Arrow with his backhand, circulated all the energy in his body, and threw it back fiercely.

A crossbow-wielding hidden guard couldn't dodge in time, and was directly pierced between the eyebrows by the arrow.

The commander of the dark guard clenched his fists.

Xu Beiyou laughed loudly, and once again used his sword seven, his body swept across the river, and ran towards the dense forest on the other side, "What a secret guard mansion, today's revenge will be avenged in the future!"
