Evergreen Immortal.

The wind swept away the clouds, and the clouds were stirred into a ball by the invisible force in an instant.

Then it turned into a giant dragon made of clouds.

The dragon head happened to be under Li Rui's feet.

The knife flashed.

The long knife between the knees appeared in Li Rui's hand at some point. In an instant, the knife light woven a dense knife net in front of Li Rui, and there was no flaw on his body.

"On the ninth day of the first month, the hidden dragon should not be used. The key is to strike back, use defense as offense, wait for an opportunity to move, and have both offense and defense."

A barrier knife was used to the extreme by Li Rui.

It really protected the whole person like a barrier, making it impossible for people to start.

"There is a saying in the rivers and lakes, you must learn to be beaten before you can beat others."

Practicing a knife and learning to cut are easy. Any young and strong laborer can already learn it the moment he picks up a knife.

But how to use a knife to defend.

I am afraid that many good knife practitioners may not know it.

In the rivers and lakes, killing is not the key, not being killed is the most important thing in the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, Li Rui's first move was not to attack, but to defend.

This knife was to achieve the ultimate defense.

At this time——

A loud shout was heard:

"Come!"

Gao Zhen's figure appeared in the dream almost at the moment the voice fell, and the familiar long sword with flames spewed towards Li Rui.

Li Rui was just defending.

In just over ten breaths, the two had already exchanged dozens of moves.

No matter how exquisite Gao Zhen's swordsmanship was, or how strong the fire shape was, it could not penetrate Li Rui's knife net at all.

"It's done!"

Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised.

Self-created knife skills!

In an instant.

The knife net in the sky suddenly dissipated, and a barrier knife pushed away the clouds and mist, and pierced Gao Zhen's waist and abdomen that were exposed.

Bang!

Gao Zhen disappeared into a cloud of smoke.

This battle was much easier than that night in the forest.

But Li Rui was not satisfied with killing Gao Zhen.

"Come again!"

Squeak.

The door was pushed open just after the hour of Chen, and the cold wind made Li Rui lose all sleep.

Yes.

He got up, or more accurately, woke up from a dream.

He failed to challenge Jiang Linxian again.

It was still a familiar sword, which pierced his forehead without any hindrance. It was too fast. Even if he used the first move of the Six Dragon Slashes, the Hidden Dragon, it was useless.

That was an absolute crushing of combat power.

Jiang Linxian's sword was too fast. Sometimes fast is strong. He didn't even react before he died.

"Hu."

Li Rui slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, washed his face with clean water, and then slowly grasped the edgeless barrier knife placed in the corner with his right hand.

The knife's momentum suddenly rose.

This time, there was no exaggerated cloud and fog special effects.

But the barrier knife, as in the dream, turned into a phantom that enveloped his body, and wove a fine knife net in front of him with true energy.

There is still some difference between practicing swords in dreams and practicing swords in reality.

Li Rui carefully comprehended and deduced silently in his heart.

It was not until the sky was slightly bright and Liang He and his men pushed the door and walked out that he put away the knife in his hand.

The three of them saw that Li Rui had already practiced the knife, and they immediately felt ashamed.

He said to the three disciples lightly:

"Young people sleep well."

This time, the three of them were silent again.

After dinner.

Li Rui then walked out of the house with his hands behind his back. As soon as he went out, he saw a group of people gathering outside Jiang Linxian's mansion.

"Didn't Lord Jiang go out for inspection?"

"Why are there so many people at the door?"

He was curious.

He also came up and soon found an acquaintance in the crowd.

"Brother Wei, what's going on?"

Wei Ming turned his head and saw that it was Li Rui, and said: "It's strange, Lord Jiang's mansion was robbed."

"!!"

Li Rui was more interested.

Who is Jiang Linxian?

Without exaggeration, An Ning Mansion is the strongest. Which blind thief dares to come to An Ning Guard, and steal things from Jiang Linxian's house.

It's really daring.

Wei Ming was also eating melons while saying:

"I heard that a little thief sneaked into Lord Jiang's mansion last night. He was quite capable and actually hid from the eyes and ears of the elders of Huaqing Sect. He really entered Lord Jiang's room, but was injured by the sword intent left by Lord Jiang and escaped."

"Escaped?"

Li Rui raised his eyebrows.

If the little thief was killed, then the story would be perfect.

But if he escaped, things would become very unusual.

A person who can shuttle back and forth in An Ning Guard as if it were his own backyard can no longer be called a little thief, but a thief.

And there are not many people in the whole Yunzhou who can catch a sword intent from Jiang Linxian.

It's a master!

"Have you found out the identity of the thief?"

"That man is very good at Qinggong. Even Lord Cao couldn't catch up with him, and he didn't leave any clues."

Li Rui was secretly surprised.

"This is outrageous."

It seems that we should not underestimate the martial arts masters.

"Did the thief steal anything?"

Wei Ming said: "It should not be successful yet. I heard that a fast horse has been sent to inform Lord Jiang."

After a while.

Ning Zhongtian and Lu Jun walked out of Jiang's house.

He waved impatiently at the soldiers surrounding the door:

"Go away, everything is fine."

Seeing that there was no more show to watch, the crowd dispersed in groups of three or five.

Wei Ming took the opportunity to trot to Ning Zhongtian: "Ning, tell me quickly, what's the situation?"

Seeing Wei Ming's impatient look, Ning Zhongtian couldn't help but laugh:

"Old Wei, you are not afraid of being killed by curiosity one day."

But he still said: "It's what you saw. Someone broke into the military camp, and then was injured by Lord Jiang's sword intent and ran away. It should be that he didn't have time to attack."

Wei Ming was immediately disappointed.

That's it?

The thunder was loud but the rain was small.

After the episode, Li Rui went straight to the Tiger Riders.

Qinghe, in a small house in an alley.

A woman with a charming figure and beautiful face bit her lower lip lightly, her face was a little pale.

She took out a bottle of spiritual liquid from the cabinet beside her with trembling right hand.

The lower lip was bitten and turned pale.

Squeak!

The spiritual liquid dripped onto the large piece of flesh and blood between the waist and abdomen.

"Ah"

The painful moan sounded in the room, the wound scabbed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes:

"Jiang Linxian!"

The charming face of the Thousand-Faced Rakshasa Liu Jiaoniang was distorted.

"The immortal energy is in Anningwei. If it is not in Jiang Linxian's mansion, where else would it be?"

As her injuries gradually eased, she finally had time to think about the task given to her by the Blood Shadow Ancestor.

While thinking.

Liu Jiaoniang cursed softly: "Gao Zhen, this waste!"

It doesn't matter if the person is dead, but the immortal energy is of great importance and must not be known by outsiders.

Otherwise, the Ghost Nether Sect will become the public enemy of the world.

The only advantage may be that no one in the world has seen what the immortal energy looks like, so Jiang Linxian is likely to get the immortal energy, but she can't recognize it, just thinking it is some unknown treasure.

"But if it is not in Jiang Linxian's hands, where would it be?"

Liu Jiaoniang took out a thumb-sized stone from the nightgown close to her body.

"The ancestor said that if the immortal energy appears within a hundred feet of this stone, there will be a strange phenomenon. The stone was shining last night, and the immortal energy is clearly in Anningwei."

If Li Rui was here, he could see at a glance that the stone was the Immortal Seeking Stone.

Liu Jiaoniang was in a dilemma for a while.

If Zhuang Renhe hadn't given her the news in advance, she wouldn't even dare to sneak into An Ning Wei.

Jiang Linxian's strength is far more terrifying than what the world has seen.

This is true. Jiang Linxian was thousands of miles away, and he almost killed her with a trace of sword intent.

After this incident.

An Ning Wei will definitely strengthen its defense.

Jiang Linxian will also arrange more means.

It is impossible to sneak in again.

"The things must be found!"

Liu Jiaoniang's eyes were determined. When she thought that she would face the means of the Blood Shadow Ancestor if she failed to complete the task, she couldn't help shuddering.

Night fell.

There was an extra figure in the courtyard of the small house.

Zhuang Renhe looked at Liu Jiaoniang, who was sitting in the middle of the yard with a pale face, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Very good, she is not dead."

When he climbed up from the woman's body this morning, he saw Cao Wei hurriedly taking people back to An Ning Wei.

He expected something to happen.

Later, through the spy in Anning Guard, he learned about what happened last night.

He waited until the evening to find Liu Jiaoniang.

Liu Jiaoniang snorted coldly: "Mr. Zhuang, are you satisfied to see me injured?"

Although both of them are members of the Ghost Sect.

But there are actually differences in status.

Like Liu Jiaoniang, who worships the elders in the sect as a teacher, is called the inner sect, and is one of the family, while Zhuang Renhe is called the outer sect, and the two sides are more of a cooperative relationship.

The inner sect naturally looks down on the outer sect.

Zhuang Renhe was not annoyed: "Why do you insist on going to Anning Guard? I just want to help?"

Liu Jiaoniang sneered in her heart:

"Help?"

She would not believe a word of this nonsense: "Don't worry about the secret order given by the ancestor, Mr. Zhuang."

"That's so embarrassing."

Zhuang Renhe looked at Liu Jiaoniang.

In the end, the action in his hand stopped.

"This woman is the best at pretending. If we can't kill her, there will be endless troubles."

When Gao Zhen, the Ten Thousand Poison Ghosts and the Four-Armed Demon Ghost gathered in Qinghe before, he realized that the Blood Shadow Ancestor seemed to be hiding something.

When Liu Jiaoniang came, he was even more certain.

"So, what is it?"

Zhuang Renhe was really curious.

Liu Jiaoniang was at the peak of the sixth rank, and he was at the early fifth rank. If they were to fight head-on, ten Liu Jiaoniangs would not be his opponent, but the woman in front of him was best at Qinggong and disguise.

It's really hard to kill.

Zhuang Renhe glanced at the "weak" woman in front of him:

"I advise you to be careful. Even if you want to die, don't implicate me. It's better for us not to meet in the future."

He is the second person in the Zhuang family.

The Zhuang family and the Ghost Nether Sect have a cooperative relationship.

Maybe he will be a little polite to the big figures of the Ghost Nether Sect.

Twelve Blood Disciples?

He really didn't care. It would be best to make friends with the Blood Shadow Ancestor through this, and he wouldn't force it if he couldn't get close to him.

Watching Zhuang Renhe turn around and leave with his sleeves swung.

Liu Jiaoniang remained leaning on the couch for a long time, until she confirmed that Zhuang Renhe had left, then she showed a trace of fatigue.

If she had revealed any flaws just now, she would have been dead now.

"The man surnamed Zhuang really deserves to be killed!"

A murderous intent flashed in her eyes, but she quickly thought of another question:

"Who took away the fairy spirit?"
