Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty: Old Asan Makes a Gamble
In the early morning of the next day, the west gate of Meishan City, which had not recovered from yesterday's war, slowly opened. The people of the surrounding villages were about to enter the city when they were shocked to see a black-armored cavalry that was almost equipped with teeth slowly emerged from it. Then there was a cavalry mixed with more than a thousand purple armor, then thousands of soldiers with a look of panic, and finally an infantry wearing brown armor.
After leaving the West Gate, the Literary and Art Army, under the guidance of a surrendered general, headed west along the official road. The two county towns passed along the way were all closed, and countless figures shook on the top of the city, all of whom were looking at the army passing outside the city with pale faces.
It was nearly fifty miles away, and although there were always official roads, the army still rested three times in a row before reaching the mountains where the sword Zhujian Sect was located in the evening.
As soon as he arrived, Yao Ruoyu's face suddenly shook, and he suddenly stood up as if he was facing a great enemy. There could be a vague sound of swords in his body, which was a reaction that only happened when he met a strong enemy.
It was not only him, Xu Xuanrong, Zou Buyi, Yang Renjie, Fu Feng, Li Huan and others, all of them changed their faces because there were dozens of figures in the mountains hundreds of feet in front of them.
Although these men and women have different appearances and ages, everyone is filled with a strong sense of sword art, sword power, sword intent, sword soul, and breaths gather together, like a craze of sword art, constantly surging in the mountains and forests.
Just as Yao Ruoyu was alert, a man in gray robe suddenly walked out of the crowd. As soon as he stepped out of the forest, he heard the man laughing loudly: "Xi's estimate is indeed correct. The Dark Night Dragon Knight is famous in China, and his combat power increased several times at night. With the prince's caution, he would definitely choose to arrive at my Sword Building Sect at this time."
Before Yao Ruoyu finished speaking, the surrendered general beside him had already stepped back with a miserable expression and said in a trembling voice: "King, Prince, he...he is Xi Shi, the leader of the Sword Sect..."
Yao Ruoyu's eyes suddenly shook when he heard this. When the other party was about a hundred steps away from him, he suddenly said sternly: "The whole army is on guard! The person is coming!" Before he finished speaking, the six thousand dragon cavalry behind him quickly picked up the Dark Night Dragon Sword, and the evil aura spread out directly, turning into a black dragon shadow and hovering at the sky, and roaring at Xi Shi in a warning manner.
Seeing this, Shi Xi had no choice but to stop and smiled: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be nervous, Xi is not hostile to come here."
Yao Ruoyu was staring at him coldly, and Zou Buyi suddenly laughed in a low voice beside him: "Prince, Xi Shi was called the 'wisdom fox' when he was young. He was very good at strategy. It was not until later that his reputation in wisdom gradually declined after he became the sect leader."
Although he said lightly, with Shi Xi's cultivation level, he could hear it clearly. He laughed and said, "This must be Mr. Zou, the chief clerk of Prince Wen's palace? He has long admired his name! The prince is so kind. If Xi was hostile, why should he wait for you to attack? He has already led the sword Zhujian Sect to attack Meishan City."
Yao Ruoyu felt a little relieved when he heard this, but he still didn't dare to be careless and said slowly: "Why would you like to ask me why you went down the mountain this time?"
"A mere 20,000 people, but the Jin soldiers in Sichuan were defeated continuously. Now they are all huddled in Cheng," Xi Shi smiled, and his eyes suddenly rose a little sharp. "Do you dare to ask the prince, it's better to be the sword-making sect that is dead, or is it better to be the sword-making sect that is living?"
After hearing his inquiry, Yao Ruoyu suddenly felt an unbelievable answer in his heart, and then frowned and said, "I'm dead all over, but if I live, I need loyalty, otherwise it's better to die."
"The prince is honest," Xi Shi smiled, his eyes were slightly lighter, and then he said slowly, "Xi has only one thing to lead everyone down the mountain this time." As he spoke, three people had already walked out of the crowd behind him. Mu Jiantian, with a fierce look, Wang Lina, with a pale and resentful expression, and a middle-aged man about thirty years old.
"Although Wenbang has risen for a short time, many experts have emerged. I wonder if the prince dares to bet with Xi today?"
Then, Shi Shi stared at him with a bright look and said loudly: "Two wins in three games. If I win the Sword Sect in three games, then I will surrender. I will never dare to betray you in the future. I will swear to follow the prince to fight south and north. But if I win by chance, there is no need for the prince to withdraw his troops. But my Sword Sect will definitely fight to the end. It can kill your Literary and Art Army and never lose a single point."
After hearing this, Cai Xudong, Li Huan, Yang Renjie and others were all surprised. However, Yao Ruoyu, Xu Xuanrong, and Zou Buyi had already vaguely guessed that his face was normal, but the light in his eyes flashed, and they were obviously thinking about the intention of Mr. Xi's move.
After thinking for a few breaths, Yao Ruoyu suddenly looked over and said solemnly: "Senior, do you think this is serious?"
"Since it is the seven realms, you will naturally make promises!" Xi Shi said with a solemn expression and said loudly.
With his eyes swept over the three people behind Mr. Xi, Yao Ruoyu pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay!"
With a satisfied smile, Xi Shi pointed at Wang Lina, whose body was a little stiff, and then she seemed to have figured it out, and her face stepped out with a stern expression. Xi Shi Shi ignored the woman and said to Yao Ruoyu: "Since my Sword Building Sect is one of the seven holy places, it also requires some privileges. You also send three people, and then we decide who will compete with whom, how about?"
Without waiting for Yao Ruoyu to answer, Wang Lina, who had walked out before, pointed at Cai Xudong who was telling a yellow joke with Chen Meng, and said sternly with a pretty face: "Why don't you dare to come out to fight?"
Cai Xudong was originally talking and laughing with Chen Meng and others with a sensation on his face. Until Li Huan pushed him beside him, he looked over blankly. After a moment, he realized and laughed in silence: "Oh! Isn't this beautiful lady Wang? I saw it once yesterday, why can't I wait to look for me today?"
The blood-drinking sword was unsheathed, and Wang Lina looked at her bloody eyes and said coldly: "You dared to insult me yesterday. If you dare to come up today, I will kill you and dismember you five horses!"
Seeing her resentful eyes, Chen Meng and Fan Difei shivered. Fan Difei even pushed him and said with a wicked smile: "Brother Cai, what did you do to her? Why does it feel like you are abandoning the whole thing?"
"Fuck you!" After cursing with angrily, Cai Xudong tidied up his collar, then stepped out and smiled, "Since it is hard to refuse the affection, I have to agree."
Seeing this, Yao Ruoyu didn't stop him. He thought for a while. Just as he was about to speak, Fu Feng and Li Huan had already stepped out and looked at him with a sharp look.
Even though Shi Xi was known as the "wisdom fox" when he was young, he was very scheming, but when he suddenly saw Li Huan's stunning beauty, he still couldn't help but lose his mind. Then he quickly asked, "Wang Wang, aren't you going to the scene?" But he was worried that Yao Ruoyu would let the two of them fight.
Yao Ruoyu was stunned when he heard this, looked at the remaining two people from the Zhujian Sect, and after thinking for a while, he turned around and said, "Little madman, how about giving this battle to me?"
Li Huan suddenly felt unhappy. He saw Yao Ruoyu's serious eyes, so he nodded in disappointment and retreated.
Fu Feng smiled gratefully with the two, then quickly walked to Cai Xudong, and finally Yao Ruoyu turned over and dismounted, came to the two of them, and nodded: "Who fights with me?"
"I!" Mu Jiantian could no longer bear it when he saw this, and stepped out directly. The iron sword behind him sounded, and the majestic sword intent spread out everywhere. Yao Ruoyu's pupils suddenly shrank. Although this man was not known, his sword intent had obviously reached the perfection, and he even faintly touched the level of the soul realm. Compared with Wanyan Qiongyu and Li Busheng, he was not weak at all.
The middle-aged man who saw this, seeing this, had to look at Fu Feng, frowned, and then nodded reluctantly to him. Fu Feng naturally saw the other party's reluctance and said nothing, but just silently raised the iron shield and the sword to adjust his condition.
"I'll come first!" I knew that even if I win today, I would definitely not be able to survive. Wang Lina had completely calmed down at this moment. Her blood-drinking sword intent was boundless, turning into an endless sea of blood and lingering around her body. Her bloody eyes stared at Cai Xudong, exuding a huge murderous intent.
Seeing this, Cai Xudong was not weak, so he took two steps forward, put the claws of the bloodline puppet on his right hand, and the bloodthirsty true energy spread all over his body, turning into countless blood shadows and twisting. Looking from afar, both of them were almost hidden in the endless blood sea, but Wang Lina's sword intent was far away than Cai Xudong's martial arts momentum.
The two of them confronted each other for only seven breaths. Wang Lina's sword intent had suppressed Cai Xudong's martial arts power. Then a cold shout was heard, and the endless sea of blood suddenly rolled up, and went forward along the blood-drinking sword. In an instant, it turned into circles of spiral blood waves surrounding the sword. The surging sword intent even blessing it, making the blood-colored sword light more sharp.
The sword light rushed over, and the blood shadow that had been pressed to the point of almost close to Cai Xudong's body suddenly expanded, and then exploded with a bang. Then Cai Xudong jumped out of it, with a surging blood flame burning on the blood claws, and then attacked the sword light in reverse along the sword light, shattering the sword light.
Even though he shattered the sword light, Cai Xudong's body inevitably trembled. Before he could stabilize his body, the sword light lit up in front of him. Wang Lina, who was following the sword light, had already grabbed him. The blood-drinking sword swung and slashed towards his left shoulder.
The sword came suddenly, and Cai Xudong was not stable again. He had no time to raise his hand in a hurry, but then the blood claw was pressed back by the sword's edge, and then a wound was cut on his shoulder.
Suddenly he was injured, Cai Xudong roared in pain, and felt that part of the blood on his left shoulder was forcibly sucked away by the sword edge, making the sword light even brighter.
It was the first time that Cai Xudong was sucked away by others in his practice of the "Bloodthirsty Heart Method". In shock and anger, he hurriedly stabilized the lower plate and then grabbed it out, trying to regain the sucked blood.
But he didn't expect that he had just poked out his right hand, and the blood-drinking sword he had pulled back was rolled up at a tricky and weird angle. With a squirting sound, he directly drew a bloody mouth on his wrist and sucked away part of the blood.
After two swords, Wang Lina's sword danced like the wind, and the blood-drinking sword completely turned into a ghost, sometimes left and right, sometimes spinning, sometimes rolling, and every time she could hit Cai Xudong from the most incredible point. Although she only barely cut her skin for several points each time, she could successfully suck some of her blood away every time.
In just over twenty breaths, Cai Xudong's body was covered with wounds, and his aura had fallen to the bottom. If Wang Lina hadn't deliberately teased him, he would have been killed by the other party with a sword.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yao Ruoyu immediately pressed Zhanhu, but then a glance came, and the pressure like substance directly pressed him down and could not move.
After struggling for a few moments, Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but look at him angrily. Shi Shi on the opposite side smiled faintly and looked at the two people who were fighting with a calm expression.
At the same time, Cai Xudong had several more wounds on his body. It was obvious that Cai Xudong's footsteps had already staggered, and his skin was withered like a lot of water loss. However, the anger on his face did not diminish at all, but at this moment, he was just a trapped beast still fighting.
