Chapter 403 Chapter 401 [A man is determined to die]

In the northern section of Qingfeng Street, the sword energy is everywhere and the wind of the palm is whistling.

Many small pits have appeared on the bluestone ground, and broken bricks can be seen everywhere. Sharp marks appear on the horizontal wall on the left side of the long street, and the tall trees on the right side are due to the strength of two top masters. Invading, countless branches and leaves still fall down even in summer.

The long sword in Yin Qianjue's hand was like a meteor flying across the sky, and every sword was filled with a cold and sharp sword light.

Yu Chigui's hands were like clouds, erratic and unpredictable, but there was gentle wind and drizzle in the clouds, as well as lightning and thunder.

The two have exchanged hundreds of moves, but there is still no winner.

Yin Qianjue withdrew his sword and turned around, his eyes swept across the battle situation in the distance, and then he suddenly rushed forward. His movements were agile and elegant, and he arrived in front of Yuchi Gui as fast as lightning. The sword light shone through the air, as if the air around him was all gone. Being shattered by the sharp sword energy, a thin and slight explosion sounded around the sword body.

In the blink of an eye, one sword turns seven!
Everyone in the world has his or her own ability to beat the crowd, let alone a swordsman like Yin Qianjue who stands at the top.

On the left, on the right, in front, and above, there seemed to be seven Yin Qianjue appearing in Yuchigui's sight, corresponding to them were seven extremely gorgeous sword flowers.

Unrestrained and unrestrained, it is dazzling.

An ordinary warrior would have been sluggish and confused in this strange scene, but Yuchi Gui knew that this was the afterimage that appeared due to Yin Qianjue exerting his movement skills to the extreme, and it was just an illusion in his sight.

When the real sword shows its fangs, the only outcome waiting for the opponent is death.

Above the San Shou is the Cloud Shou.

In the midst of the lightning and flint, Yin Qianjue raised his arms to block him.

However, illusion does not mean that there is no power. Only one of the seven afterimages is real, and ordinary people cannot distinguish and defend against it.

Those white hands were like light clouds coming out of Xiu, bringing out a wisp of breeze from the clouds. As the hands moved the body forward, the wind suddenly became stronger between Sumeru, and the sleeves of Yuchi Gui's robe were flying up and down.

It takes ten years to sharpen a sword, and one sword can break mountains and rivers.

Yuchi Gui opened his eyes suddenly, and a cold light suddenly appeared.

The next moment, he took a step forward to the left.

No matter how many changes you have, I can only attack them all the way!
The energy intersects and the thunder roars!
Centered around the position of the two of them, a majestic wave of air spread rapidly to the surroundings, and you could see flying sand and rocks, and ghosts and gods making changes!
All Yin Qianjue's phantoms disappeared, except for one sword.

Only an ethereal clear silence remained.

This is Yuchi’s true insight after returning to martial arts practice for decades.

"boom!"

Yu Chigui put his hands together but not firmly, and the sword tip was within his palms. Although the sword tip vibrated at a frequency that was difficult to see with the naked eye, it was still unable to break through Yu Chigui's palms.

In the intertwining of internal energy, the bodies of the two people climbed upwards, facing each other and rotating constantly, and the sharp sound of breaking through the air continued to escape in all directions.

When the sword energy invaded, Yuchi Gui closed his eyes slightly.

His left hand touched the blade of the sword, as gentle as a finger. The long sword was brought aside by his left hand. Immediately, his right hand turned into a fist, suddenly piercing the air, and the strong wind swept the world!

This explosion was like the roar of a tiger in the mountains, and Yin Qianjue flew out, only to be blasted ten feet away by Yu Chigui's punch!
Yin Qianjue was like a meteor in the sky. When he was about to land, his long sword suddenly lowered, and his body rose into the air again. However, he did not turn around and rush towards Yuchi Gui. Instead, he quickly flew towards the northeast, leaving only a cold and stern figure behind. Two words.

All the Yin Qianjue disappears, all the sword flowers are no longer in sight, the fallen leaves on the street are blown by the strong wind and dust, the spring flowers, autumn moon and summer thunder and winter snow in the world, as well as all things in the world and the vicissitudes of the sea, are all returning from Yuchi at this moment Disappear in eyes.

"admire!"

Yuchi Gui's hands continued to move forward, driving the strong wind to dance and rotate. Thousands of sharp lights gradually gathered and finally converged on one point.

Yu Chigui landed firmly on the ground. He took a step in the direction of Yin Qianjue's escape and then stopped. He turned around and looked at the other end of Qingfeng Street, and his body shot away like lightning.

At about the same time, two young figures rushed towards the north.

The three of them stopped almost at the same time. Yuchi Gui glanced at them and felt relieved.

The fighting here has ended. After the black-clothed crossbowmen were approached by the Hou Mansion's personal guards, although they resisted stubbornly, they were ultimately defeated. Except for two survivors, all the others were killed.

Facing the joint attack of Lu Chen and Lin Xi, the dead soldiers led by Meng Xuan had no power to resist. Seeing that the situation was over, Meng Xuan raised his knife to kill himself. The rest either resisted desperately or tried to escape, but they all died under Lin Xi's long knife. In the end, there were only two survivors.

Yuchi returned and nodded to Lin Xi. This was not the time for polite greetings. Then he looked at Lu Chen and said, "The swordsman's name is Yin Qianjue. He is ranked sixth on the martial arts list. His personality is lonely and lonely, and he is very good at swordsmanship." His achievements are unmatched by anyone in the world. But don't worry, he was defeated by me today and won't appear again in a short time. After all, he is just cold-blooded and ruthless to others, but he cares about his own life extremely." He didn't have any trace of it. By concealing it, he obviously hoped that Lu Chen could make an accurate judgment.

Lu Chen bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, senior, for taking the initiative."

Yuchi Gui said solemnly: "No need to thank you. This is what I promised Brother Xiao, and I will naturally do my best. Lu Chen, this ambush is not easy."

Of course it's not simple.

The five dead assassins were very skilled. If Lu Chen hadn't taken action personally, it would have been very difficult for the Hou family's soldiers to capture them. There were also top masters like Yin Qianjue. If Yu Chigui hadn't accompanied him today, Lu Chen would have faced them alone. When the situation is extremely dark, even if you are willing to abandon your own soldiers, it will be difficult to survive.

Not to mention the dead men in black who appeared later. In fact, it is not uncommon for the mansions of powerful people to raise dead men, but it is rare to send so many dead men. The most shocking thing is that these dead men in black used military standard weapons. !
The Da Qi court banned crossbows, and the emergence of hand crossbows has already caused a stir in the court, not to mention the waist-length crossbows that only regular armies can equip?

There was no joy in killing the enemy on Lu Chen's face, only a chill that made people tremble.

He looked at the end of the southern section of Qingfeng Street and said slowly: "Since they want to start a war, why should I hold back?"

At this time, Qin Zilong ran over quickly, with a look of sorrow on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Hou, three brothers were killed in the fight. Qiu Wang died in the battle due to a wound to his abdomen, as well as Wen Xiuhai and Xie Fu, who were previously responsible for the investigation. , we found their bodies behind the south wall, the others are not seriously injured yet."

Six lives.

Lu Chen said nothing, but everyone around him could feel the murderous aura emanating from him, a kind of anger that could devour everything.

Yu Chigui's expression was solemn. He thought he knew this young man who had risen to great heights, but he did not expect that he would burst out with such a terrifying momentum because of the deaths of these brave soldiers.

Lu Chen turned around and saw that the carriage had turned around and the bodies of the six fallen soldiers were being moved onto the carriage. The soldiers of the Hou Mansion who had previously smiled at the fear of death all had red eyes at this moment. Some couldn't help but burst into tears due to the grief in their hearts, but no one sobbed.

There was deathly silence on the long street.

Lu Chen slowly clenched his right fist, feeling pain, anger, and depression. All kinds of emotions gathered in his mind, constantly burning his reason.

At this moment, a hand grasped his fist.

Lu Chen looked to the side with blood-red eyes, and saw Lin Xi looking at him with worry and distress, and said softly: "No matter what you want to do, I will never leave you."

This was the first time Lin Xi took the initiative to hold his hand.

The two people's eyes met, and they felt the senior sister's deep affection and determination of life and death. Although the anger in Lu Chen's heart did not subside, his rationality gradually returned.

Killing is inevitable, but in this situation where everyone is the enemy, only calmness can avenge these fallen brothers.

There was a sound of horse hoofbeats at the end of the long street, and the soldiers of the Hou Mansion immediately became alert. Yuchi Gui and Lin Xi stood beside Lu Chen, looking coldly at the flustered Shuqi and the secret agents of the Weaving Department who appeared in front of them.

When the leading knight was still more than ten feet away from Lu Chen, he jumped off his horse and ran quickly towards Lu Chen. At the same time, he said loudly: "Xiaguan Sutra Weaver mentioned Wen Yingzhang, and came to protect Lu Chen on the order of Lord Tiju." Hou!"

He is about forty years old, tall and burly, and it is obvious from a glance that he has martial arts skills.

Lu Chen did not answer, nor did he stop the defensive posture of those around him.

Wen Yingzhang glanced at the tragic scene on the long street and was horrified because he saw a crossbow holding a crossbow that should never appear here!

As he approached, Wen Yingzhang hurriedly saluted. He didn't care about Lu Chen's indifference. He only saw the cold expression on the young prince's face and said hurriedly: "Marquis Lu, your majesty has learned about this and summoned Lord Tiju to the palace. Inquiry. Your Majesty, please ask your subordinates to inform Marquis Lu. The court will definitely give Marquis Lu a satisfactory answer on this matter. No matter who is involved in this assassination, Your Majesty will never tolerate it. Please wait a moment, Marquis Lu!"

Lu Chen looked at the carriage and said slowly: "Has Your Majesty summoned me to enter the palace now?"

Wen Yingzhang was startled for a moment, then replied calmly: "Your Majesty doesn't know the specific situation here yet, so he only asked the Weaving Department to do everything possible to protect Marquis Lu."

Yu Chigui, who was standing nearby, said calmly: "You guys didn't arrive in time."

Wen Yingzhang didn't know the identity of this person, but he didn't dare to put on airs in front of Lu Chen, so he said with shame: "Marquis Lu, the Weaving Department bears an unshirkable responsibility for this matter——"

"Needless to say, I know that your capable forces have their own tasks during this period, and I will not criticize you harshly."

Lu Chen's words made Wen Yingzhang feel relieved, but what Lu Chen said next made his expression change drastically: "But this assassination cost me six brothers, and someone has to pay the price for their sacrifices."

As if echoing his words, a neat and majestic muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the distance.

Wen Yingzhang turned around and saw the first cavalryman riding a horse and wearing armor at the end of the long street, followed by more and more figures.

Looking around, there are thousands of horses like a forest, with murderous intent flying into the sky!
