Chapter 44 Scene [-] Unexpected Part [-]

The tall man tore off the night clothes he was wearing, revealing the jet-black armor underneath.The iron armor gently rubbed against the ups and downs of the body, making a slight sound like the hourglass of the underworld, and the air in the bone-chilling palace gradually froze.

"This knife of mine has just been sharpened not long ago, and it is guaranteed to break your bones. When you are about to die, stop struggling. The more you resist fate, the more you will feel endless pain."

Luo Jianli shook the long iron long knife and held it upside down in his hand, and the corner of his mouth showed the unique grin before the murder.The shining blade reflected the firelight, and the spot of light just fell on the face of the boy in white, illuminating the pair of amber pupils.

"You-hu-want!"

Qi Ziyin gritted his teeth and roared word by word.At this moment, he could clearly feel the muscles on his calf twitching uncontrollably, but he still tried his best to control his voice not to tremble.Seeing the opponent getting closer and closer, his face was already pale, but he didn't take half a step back.

The man raised the long knife above his head, and made a slashing posture, and Ning Yue's exclamation sounded in the underground palace:
"stop it!"

The girl was afraid that she would see the boy in white with his head in a different place, so she closed her eyes in despair.

With the sound of a sharp blade piercing through the air, the long knife slashed straight at Qi Ziyin's celestial spirit cover.But the girl didn't hear the sharp blade cut through the flesh and bones, instead there was a soft "Zheng" sound, followed by Luo Jianli's low shout:
"Little devil, what are you wearing?!"

Ning Yue opened her eyes again, only to see that Qi Ziyin put his arms on top of his head and took Luo Jianli's blow alive.The sharp long blade only scratched through several layers of clothing on his forearm, but there was a very obvious gap where it touched the young man's arm.

The young man in white was crushed by the force of the knife and fell to his knees, but gathered his strength and took the opportunity to bump into the opponent's body.Luo Jianli couldn't dodge in time, and was hugged tightly by the waist.

"Ning Yue, quickly take General Yan away! I'm wearing armor, he can't hurt me!"

Luo Jianli immediately wanted to drive the boy back to the attacking range of the long knife, but Qi Ziyin clung to his body like a leech, and deliberately slipped his head through his armpit and hid it in a blind spot.For a while, the weapon in the man's hand could not be used at all, and he could only slash at the child's back and limbs continuously.

The cloth on the white-clothed boy's body was torn piece by piece, gradually revealing the close-fitting soft armor that seemed to be woven with fine silver thread.Although the seemingly thin armor was tightly attached to the child's limbs and torso, it was not pierced even a small hole by the long iron knife.

"Meteorite Iron Ring Mail Armor? Where did you get it!" The man recognized the armor at a glance.

This ring mail armor was given to the Lord of Ye Kingdom many years ago before his death, and it is the only one in the world.According to legend, it is a collection of skilled craftsmen from all over the world. It is a unique meteorite iron in the moon marsh at the junction of the two countries. It is specially made for Emperor Baijiang. It is very light and soft. All armor must be strong.

No one would have thought that Qi Heyin would actually give this armor to the helpless concubine in front of him!
"Little devil, let me go, let go!"

At this time, Luo Jianli had already slashed the boy dozens of times with his knife.Frustrated and angry, he had no choice but to change his tactics and punched the opponent's ribs and lower abdomen.

Previously, Qi Ziyin just relied on a brute force to stick to the opponent's body.After being punched a few times, he didn't pay attention, and the man lifted his knee and pressed it hard on the lower abdomen. Suddenly, a fishy smell rose from his throat, and a big mouthful of blood spewed out with a wow.This made him really unable to bear it, and he almost let go of the tightly clasped hands around the opponent's waist.

"Ziyin, hurry up and let go, you will be beaten to death if this continues!"

"You—just go—that's it!"

Qi Ziyin gathered up some strength again, and shouted loudly without looking back: "This armor was specially asked for by my mother from my father before she died! She was worried that if she left, I would lose my life in this world." It will inevitably be bullied. Now, I use it to protect my most important friend!"

The boy in white never thought before that the set of armor that Wan Shi told him to wear every day would actually come in handy one day.Thinking of Concubine Jin who had passed away long ago, he immediately couldn't help but shed tears again.

In his blurred vision, he looked at his companion not far away.Right now, the red-haired girl was exerting all her strength, dragging General Yan, who was almost unconscious, staggered to his feet, and accidentally fell to the ground again.

Qi Ziyin suddenly felt that time slowed down, as if it had stopped flowing.In a daze, his hand touched a slender object behind the opponent's waist, it was the short knife named Baipi!The young man was not allowed to think about life and death at all, he pulled out the knife with a slam, and stabbed it hard at the back of Luo Jianli's thigh which was not protected by the black armor.

The man was shocked, he didn't expect that this young master who seemed quiet and timid would start a fight with trapped beasts at the last moment.The strength in the boy's hand was not considered strong, but the pain still caused him to sway, and he was almost unstable.

In a fit of rage, Luo Jianli punched the child several times under the right armpit holding the knife.The severe pain forced Qi Ziyin to let go of the dagger in his hand.Although he lost his weapon, he still clenched his teeth and poured his strength into his whole body, forcefully overturning the opponent whose feet were a lot taller than him to the ground.

Luo Jianli, who finally escaped from the entanglement, raised his foot and kicked hard on the boy's face, kicking him until he rolled on the ground several times.Seeing this situation, Ning Yue couldn't bear it any longer, and ran back screaming, but saw Qi Ziyin's face was covered with blood, and even though a large piece of white clothes on his chest was stained red, he still couldn't forget to say:

"You guys... let's go..."

"Little stammer! Ziyin is about to be killed by this villain, you still don't cheer up, cheer up quickly!"

The red-haired girl hugged the almost limp body of the white-clothed boy, and sat on the ground crying, hoarse.

"As I said, struggling will only be more painful. Now my knife has been slashed, and the process of cutting bones and tendons will be very unbearable. But these are all brought on by you. It is absolutely impossible for the Japanese general to let you You three got out of here alive—"

Luo Jianli raised the long knife in his hand where the sawtooth could be clearly seen, and he wanted to chop it down on the back of Qi Ziyin's neck as he spoke!

At this critical moment, there was a sound of "woo", as if something flew out of the darkness, bringing up a strong air current.The fire in the underground palace also suddenly dimmed, almost extinguished.

Luo Jianli's expression changed, and he immediately drew his knife and turned around.Hearing a bang, the long knife in his hand collided with a black-gold object, splashing sparks, and he was almost knocked out of his hand.

The thing that came on landed heavily on the ground less than a foot away from the man, vibrating and making a buzzing sound.Afterwards, a black shadow rushed up with lightning speed, picked up the weapon on the ground, and swept towards the man's waist again, leaving no time for the man to react.

"Small stutter!"

The red-haired girl who thought she was doomed finally burst into tears and cheered.At the same time, Luo Jianli cursed loudly:

"Damn! You little brat, did you pretend that you were half dead just now?!"

While speaking, the man tried his best to deflect the Mo knife that was attacking in front of him again, but the bun on his head was cut off by half by Xiao Tianmo, and it immediately scattered, and the broken hair fell like snowflakes , looked extremely embarrassed.

The black-eyed boy was still covering his aching forehead with one hand, but the horizontal knife stopped Luo Jianli's body.In the dim light of the fire, he stared at the Captain Xiaoqi in front of him with his two ink-like eyes without blinking:
"What kind of skill is it to find someone who can't fight? Your opponent is me!"

"Boy, the three of you will die sooner or later! Since I think my life is too long, this general will sacrifice your head first!"

Luo Jianli was still pretending to curse fiercely, but he knew the strength of the Mo Dao in the opponent's hand, so he didn't dare to attack rashly, so he took two steps back to assume a defensive posture.

"Little stammer, is your headache better?" Ning Yue pulled up Qi Ziyin who was almost unconscious on the ground, and hid behind the black-eyed boy.

"It still hurts like hell. But I heard you say that this guy is going to kill my best friend, how can I allow it! Besides, there is still an old score to settle between me and him!"

Luo Jianli stared at the boy's jet-black pupils with watermarks, and said stiffly:
"Settling accounts with me? Just rely on you?"

As soon as the words came out, the man's eyes were attracted by the seven-foot long knife in Jiang Yanqing's hand.The light in the underground palace was dim, and he hadn't considered the black-eyed boy a threat at all before.Now that he was getting closer, the fine rhomboid teeth on the blade were clearly in his line of sight.

"What you have in your hand is Lingfang Xiaotianmo! Isn't this ominous thing locked in the arsenal of the Imperial Army?"

"Xiaotianmo is not an ominous thing! When General Baili took me to pick up weapons in the arsenal, I clearly felt that there was a force in this knife calling me! General Baili said that it was the previous one. The heroic spirit of the master is guiding me in the sky to walk the right path and do the right thing!"

"Nonsense! This is my ancestor's Mo Dao! For thousands of years, no living person in the entire Ye Kingdom dared to approach it, and no one could afford it, not even me! Why would you do it! Why would it be willing to be killed? You are such a little devil to drive and drive?"

"No matter what you say, this knife is now in my hands! At least, it is much better for me to be its master than to fall into the hands of you, a shameless and evil person!"

Jiang Yan gripped the handle of the knife tightly, held the heavy Mo knife horizontally in front of his eyebrows, and pointed at the tip of the knife without trembling at all, "The former owner of this knife was a great hero! Defeat you with his sword and walk out of this underground palace alive!"

"What a joke! Even if my ancestors stand here with a knife, this general will still win! I must win! I have come step by step to today, and I have never thought of giving myself a way out!"

Luo Jianli also roared loudly, and the killing intent on his body became more and more intense.However, he didn't see the opponent's figure move, but a cold light suddenly flashed in front of Jiangyan. It was the man opposite him who quietly pulled out the Baipi stuck in his leg, and threw it at him as a hidden weapon.

The boy didn't have time to dodge, so he could only pour his strength into his arms, dancing Xiao Tianmo in front of him like a black golden circle.Baipi bumped into Mo Dao and changed direction, inserting deeply into the rock wall full of human bones.Luo Jianli took this opportunity to attack with a knife, Jiang Yan wanted to hide but it was too late!
Although there was an injury on his leg, the speed of the man's attack did not slow down by half a point.Seeing that the opponent's blade had already penetrated a foot in front of him, the black-eyed boy had no choice but to switch from attack to defense, and the horizontal knife was dead!

Although Jiang Yan's strength was much greater than that of his peers, he was still no match for a grown man. He was pushed back four or five steps by the opponent on the spot before regaining his footing.Before that, his strength made him anxious, and his arms couldn't help trembling a little, but the weapon that attacked again in the enemy's hand was only half a foot away from his body.

"I said, it's impossible to win me with just you brat!"

Luo Jianli shouted again, and an overwhelming force immediately pressed on the young man's hand.This time the boy couldn't resist at last, and only heard a puff, and the iron long knife cut into his left shoulder like a ferocious beast with claws and claws in an instant!
"Uh--!"

Jiang Yan cried out in pain.Fortunately, at such a short distance, the jagged edge only tore a few inches long wound on his shoulder, but it couldn't go deeper into the flesh, causing tendons and bones to be injured.

Seeing that her companion was injured, Ning Yue, who had already been petrified, thought of going to the rock wall to help.Unexpectedly, the dagger was buried more than half in the densely packed human bones, and it was impossible to pull it out with one person's strength. She was so anxious that she couldn't help crying.

At the same time, the strength in Luo Jianli's hands became stronger and stronger:

"Little devil, didn't you boast just now, saying that you are going to settle accounts with me? Now you may not see the day when accounts are settled, so you can die with peace of mind!"

"I—never!"

The black-eyed boy squeezed out three words between his teeth, and the blue veins on his forehead protruded. He actually used his flesh and blood to hold the iron long knife on his shoulder, pushing it upward by an inch.Luo Jianli suddenly panicked when he saw this, and tried his best to press the weight of his whole body forward.

However, Jiangyan seemed to be possessed by the heroic spirit who died in the unyielding battle thousands of years ago, and suddenly burst out with an inexplicably strong force.The knotted muscles also firmly clamped the blade that had been cut into it, and then the arched body suddenly straightened, pushing the opponent who had the upper hand to his back and falling backwards!
