Confucianism in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 47 Who is the Oriole
There was a carriage parked on the mountain road, which looked particularly eye-catching in this wild place.

At this time, three people came up the mountain path, an old man and two young swordsmen, and they were heading towards the carriage.

"Wei Si, is there anything unusual on the way?" It was the old man who spoke first. He wore a gauze hat on his head, covering most of his face.

"I don't think so." The driver replied, his face was exposed from the gap in the bamboo hat, and a long and narrow scar lay across his forehead like a centipede.

"It's you!" The old man seemed to know this person, his tone was full of surprise, but more of it was panic, and he couldn't help stepping back.

"Master Wei, your method of getting rid of the golden cicada's shell is really clumsy." The man smiled sullenly, his voice full of sarcasm.

Wei Zhuang's every move has long been watched by his people.

"This is Guigu's art of war?" He looked at the young swordsmen behind the old man. These two were Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie, and Guigu was criss-crossing.

"It's not clumsy, how can I get you hooked." Wei Zhuang's indifferent face appeared from the black robe, making people feel icy cold.

He looked at the old man, he was not Wei Yong, but someone else pretending to be him.

At this time, more than ten figures sprang out from the woods, holding swords, and surrounded the carriage.

"So it's not the golden cicada, but the oriole."

Even though he fell into the trap, there was still a joke on the corner of his mouth, and he smiled easily.

"Black and white Xuanjian, it's not too late to let go now," Gai Nie said.

"Hold your hands..." Hei Hei Xuan Jian heard this, as if he heard something extremely funny: "It depends on who is the praying mantis."

He pulled out the black sword at his waist—Xuan, the pitch-black sword exuded a scarlet cold light, and an astonishing murderous aura surged into the sky, causing the packhorse to neigh again and again.

He raised the mysterious sword in his hand, and a dark sword energy gushed out. Under the terrifying sword energy, the group of bankers with swords in their hands had no power to resist, and they all fell to the ground and died.

The two of Zongheng and Heng didn't have time to stop all this.

The sword in Ge Nie's hand was out of its sheath, a bright sword light suddenly appeared, and his sword stabbed at Black and White Xuan Jian.

Hei Hei Xuan Jian raised the mysterious sword in his hand, and swung out the sword obliquely from bottom to top, with great force.

When the two swords touched, a fierce energy burst out, and the sword wind howled.

With this sword alone, Gai Nie knew that this person was by no means equal to him.

Before he could think about it, the pitch-black sword stabbed out again, and the sword energy swept in like a frenzy.With a twist of the long sword in his hand, it turned into a sword array and went straight up.

But he still underestimated this sword. Although he received the sword, his whole body was sent flying several feet away.

Hei Hei Xuan Jian's eyes were fixed, and he had already sensed that the sword was slashed at him from behind, and it was Wei Zhuang who struck.

With his toes on the ground, his whole body rose into the air, and then his body swooped down like a giant eagle. The black sword pierced through the void and went straight to Wei Zhuang.

A cold light flashed in Wei Zhuang's eyes, and the sword in his hand blocked the blow in front of him.

The shadow of the sword is heavy, and the sword energy is overwhelming. In an instant, the two have struck out dozens of swords
The two fought, and Gai Nie seized the opening when he saw the opportunity, and stabbed out with his straight sword like a shooting star.

Wei Zhuang and him knew each other tacitly, and he also greeted him with a sword.

Facing the combined attack of Zongheng and Hengheng, Black and White Xuanjian showed no signs of fear.The mysterious sword in his hand came out and hit Gai Nie's sword, knocking it back.

He waved his hand, and the mysterious sword spun sharply in the air, spinning up like a top, and swept out the sword in one style.

Wei Zhuang slanted his body to dodge, narrowly avoiding it, and the sharp sword energy brushed past his sleeve.

In this split second of fighting, Black, White and Xuanjian had completely neutralized the attacks of Zongheng and Hengheng.

"Get out of here, this is my last warning." Black and White Xuanjian stood holding the sword, the long and narrow blade of the Xuanjian glowed with a cold light.

"We need a truth, a truth that is convincing." Ge Nie looked at the lonely swordsman.

"The Ghost Valley faction has always been self-reliant, so they can't see the truth clearly." Black and White Xuanjian said coldly.

"Actually, we have a truth." Wei Zhuang said.

"This truth is related to your mysterious disappearance many years ago."

"It's also related to your sudden appearance at this moment."

"Black and white Xuanjian, the frontal blade claims life, and the reversed blade suppresses the soul. The black sword is mysterious, and it is the sword of revenge; the white sword is Jian, and it is the sword of protection."

"You have already found someone for you to protect."

"Black and White Xuanjian is dead, and the one standing in front of you is just a vengeful undead."

Every time he uttered a word, the killing intent on the life-threatening blade became stronger.Murderous, overwhelming.

"The dead are gone, no matter how much you take away, you can't bring the dead back to life." Gai Nie said.

"It's ridiculous, my soul and my name no longer exist." Black and White Xuan Jian's eyes became more and more murderous, and the sword pointed at him with a cold light that made people palpitate.

"This sword is me, it can only kill, only revenge."

"Brother, his hatred has penetrated deep into his bones, and neither you nor I can change it." Wei Zhuang, dressed in black, had white eyebrows and white hair, with a stern face.

What is so pitiful about a person who only lives for revenge.

"Since you won't pick up the Guardian Sword again, then I will do it." Gai Nie stepped forward, pointing the sword at Black and White Xuanjian.

"Unfortunately, none of you can protect it."

His aura became stronger and stronger, and his killing intent became stronger and stronger, reaching the extreme at this moment.

He flew out, and the mysterious sword in his hand turned into a black rainbow piercing through the void, stabbing straight at the two of them.

The two moved sideways, soaring into the air, dodging his sword.

Black and white Xuan Jian's eyes flashed coldly, he raised his right hand, deflected the Xuan sword, and sliced ​​upwards.

Zongheng and Zongheng drew their swords at the same time, and the three swords collided with each other, bursting out with brilliance.

With the power of this reversal, the three of them staggered past in mid-air and each landed on the ground.

Suddenly, the three swords converged again, and the figures of the three moved almost simultaneously, interweaving into a net of swords in an almost perfect way, covering each other.

Three completely different sword lights are entangled together, stirring and rippling, the shadow of the sword is indistinct, overflowing with vigor.

Black and white Xuan Jian's body is as fast as lightning, one sword after another stabs out, the sword is deadly, the stroke is deadly, the sword light is like rain, leaving no gaps, the sword's momentum increases sharply, like a landslide and a sea split.

This sudden tyrannical blow instantly swung the two of them apart.

Black and white Xuanjian slashed down with a volley of sword, the sword was filled with blood, as if a river of blood ran across the sky, pressing down on the two of them.

The two Zongheng and Heng looked serious, they didn't dare to underestimate them, they swung their swords with all their strength to resist.

Between the interlacing of swords and shadows, the three separated again, and Zongheng and Zongheng looked at each other with solemn expressions.

A sword mark appeared on Gai Nie's left hand, and a wound appeared on Wei Zhuang's right arm, and blood dripped from his wound.

They all felt the strength of the other party, and even faintly suppressed themselves.

"You want to stop me, but I want you to be the witnesses of my revenge." Black and White Xuan Jian's voice was icy cold, he didn't draw out his sword again, but left straight away.

Just as the two were about to chase after them, an invisible sword energy appeared out of thin air. With this movement, small and strange wounds were drawn on their bodies.

"The source of the invisible sword energy is not the black sword in his hand." Ge Nie stared at the scars on his body, and then warned: "Xiao Zhuang, don't act rashly."

"The directions, angles, and depths of the two wounds are exactly the same. The sword energy attack comes from a fixed position, and it is still."

"We were misled." Wei Zhuang's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "We always thought that Black and White Xuanjian used a special sword technique to kill Zhuangmin and you and me. In fact..."

"Actually, this is not a sword technique at all, but an exquisite sword array arranged in advance."

With a movement of the long sword in Gai Nie's hand, inner strength surged out, causing boundless fallen trees to rustle.

The fallen leaves were falling in the air, but before they touched the ground, they had already turned into broken leaves and scattered one after another.

The entire space seemed to be shrouded in an invisible spider web, without revealing any traces.Every inch of space is full of dangers, a slight negligence is the end of eternal doom.

"Since this sword formation can trap you and me, there must be someone behind it." Wei Zhuang looked around.

"If this sword array is only used on one person, then..."

"Chu's assassin is poisonous and prey." Before Gai Nie could say, Wei Zhuang already understood what he meant, and he spoke the answer.

"The wounds on Zhuangmin's body are indeed very similar to her murder method."

"Cut off emotions, kill like hemp, and be ruthless."

"I heard that she failed the assassination attempt and was killed before. It turned out that she joined the trap."

The unknown is the scariest thing. If the opponent can be identified, then everything will be much simpler.

"There are no poisonous birds of prey in Chu, only murderous black widows."

A woman came out of the forest. She was dressed in black clothes, with a slim and graceful figure, and a veil on her face covered her face.

Silk threads appeared between her ten fingers, dancing between her wrists like swimming snakes.

"So what if you can see through me? No one can escape from my sword array alive." The corner of her mouth outlined a charming and enchanting arc.

With a movement of ten fingers, under her control, countless fine silk threads strangled the two of them.

"Too bad she has closed the net." Ge Nie's complexion changed, and with just this movement, several fine wounds appeared on the two of them instantly.

The weakness of this sword array lies in its stillness.

Thinking of this, Ge Nie immediately dropped his sword, and pressed his ten fingers on the invisible string in front of him, a soft force was transmitted along the string, resisting the ruthless pull of the string.

"This is the time."

Zongheng and Zongheng were connected with each other, Wei Zhuang understood immediately, and suddenly cut out the demon-tooth sword with a cold light in his hand.

The tyrannical sword energy surged and roared out, and the infinite sword wind swept away.

The sword energy erupted, and the invisible threads covering the entire valley were all broken under the raging sword energy.

This sword style is the supreme skill among the swords of Guigu Lianheng-traversing all directions.

As soon as the ruthless wire was broken, the sword formation disappeared in smoke.The boundless sword energy traversed the sky, and Yu Jin swept straight at the black widow who was controlling the ruthless thread.

The black widow's face changed drastically, and it was too late to dodge, with a muffled groan, her delicate body flew upside down, already seriously injured.She tried her best to get up and fled quickly, and she disappeared in a blink of an eye.

.........

In the dense forest, a figure appeared. Under his gaze, a slim woman in tight black clothes came out of the forest. The woman's footsteps were also somewhat vain.

A bloodstain snaked down from her body, her wrist trembled slightly, and a streak of bright red blood fell down her fingertips.

Suddenly, she flicked her fingers repeatedly, and a thread of blood suddenly condensed in mid-air, turning into a blood rainbow and piercing through it, piercing several meters away in an instant, but it was an invisible thread stained with blood.

But the one who died was her. Her heart was crushed by a sword light, and she fell to the ground straight, without any sound.

He gave her a chance, but unfortunately, she didn't grasp it.
