Volume 1: The Rise of the Western Regions Chapter 84: Compromise
Facing the sword light that echoed the power of heaven and earth, Ye Sanniang did not neglect at all. A fierce murderous intent burst out from her scimitar, so thick that it seemed to turn into water droplets and fall from the air.
The murderous intent did not distinguish between enemies and us, but he wrapped Zhao Rang in it. He was so oppressed that he couldn't breathe. It was not until Zhao Rang put all his energy on the knife in his hand that he felt that this sense of oppression had relieved a lot!
A shrill roar!
Ye Sanniang took the knife!
Zhao Rang saw that the scimitar in Ye Sanniang's hand was like a white rainbow that penetrated the sun, pulled out of thin air, flashing like a meteor, and the sword was strange and swift. In the blink of an eye, the blade turned into pieces of afterimage. With Zhao Rang's eyes, he couldn't see how many swords Ye Sanniang had produced. He only saw that there was a rebellious spirit between her eyebrows, and he was about to compete with the woman in red!
The sword energy crisscrossed, and the cold light shone like a waterfall under the tilt, like a roc hovering above the nine heavens, striking the sky fiercely.
The blade and the sword light intertwined, and the sound was like a dragon's roar, sharp and solemn. The sound of breaking the wind was accompanied by cremation. Zhao Rang had no choice but to use a knife to support the ground and used a thousand-pound body technique to ensure that he was not swayed by this violent shock energy.
The rocks suddenly penetrated the sky and collided with each other, and sounded like drum beats. The woman in red was elegant, like a cloud rolling and unfolding. After shaking Ye Sanniang's blade once, she seemed to find that Ye Sanniang was not an easy person, so she changed her path and wanted to win with a strange victory! The long sword in her hand used various tricky and ruthless methods to stab and pick it.
Ye Sanniang used her strength to defeat the strange ones. The sword technique was like a dragon leaping over the tiger, blocking all the sword moves of the woman in red.
The sword shadow and the sword light were entangled together, like a wonderful scroll unfolding silently in front of Zhao Rang.
Then the two of them rose, and the wind and sand around them rose, as if the whole world was involved.
Zhao Rang covered his eyes with his hands, blocking the wind and sand, and then saw a touch of bright red swaying in the wind. He immediately drew his sword with his backhand and slashed at the woman in red in half.
The sword in her hand was held by Ye Sanniang's knife, and she could not defend in time, so she had to withdraw and dodge and distance herself from Zhao Rang.
"I didn't let you run? What are you doing here?"
Ye Sanniang asked sternly.
In desperation, she no longer had the intention of joking.
Zhao Rang smiled lightly and replied:
"If you can use a knife, why can't I use a knife?"
Ye Sanniang was speechless, but her body moved forward and protected Zhao Rang behind her.
The woman in red quietly listened to the exchanges between the two and said with a smile:
"Hahaha! Even if you keep a young man, you don't need to protect him like this, right? Besides, if he is like this, wouldn't he catch a lot of people?"
Ye Sanniang remained silent, but in fact she was mobilizing the energy in her body to resolve the secret injuries that the two suffered when they fought.
Although the martial arts cultivation of this woman in red has not reached the second level, she is not far apart. Even though she is both the third-level master's cultivation level, the two are still at a high level.
In comparison, the woman in red can be regarded as a great master, while Ye Sanniang still owes one-third!
The gap in cultivation cannot be made up by skillful methods.
It can be seen from the current look of the woman in red still holding weights. The battle with Ye Sanniang just now has no effect on her, and she can still laugh at her loudly.
On the other hand, Zhao Rang and Ye Sanniang were a little embarrassed... Especially Zhao Rang, although he just slashed in the middle of the waist, the woman in red was forced to retreat, but this was based on Ye Sanniang trying her best to hold back the sword in her hand. Otherwise, Zhao Rang's sword would not only fail to achieve success, but might even die on the spot!
Ye Sanniang promised Zhao Rang that she would definitely protect his life, so she was still persuading Zhao Rang to let him leave first.
She has not made many guarantees to others in her life because she has been deeply hurt by others' assurances.
Seeing that her provocative words had no effect on Ye Sanniang, the woman in red couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
In terms of strength alone, she certainly was not afraid of anyone in the Tongbao Money House semicolon. But before that, she had never expected that Ye Sanniang's cultivation level would have reached the third-grade Grandmaster level.
Zhao Rang knew a little about this.
When he first met Ye Sanniang, he didn't feel that she had any martial arts skills. If Zhao Rang had not done his homework in advance and had known Ye Sanniang's background, he would have been deceived by her appearance of pear blossoms at that time!
From this point of view, Ye Sanniang should have practiced some special martial arts at that time, which can cover up her martial arts cultivation. In this way, it will not only help her to cover up her identity when traveling around the world, but also make people who are hostile to her relax their vigilance. To put it bluntly, she pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.
The woman in red has made many calculations, but she has not calculated the variable Ye Sanniang. So she has a headache now... If she really wants to fight hard and get rid of Ye Sanniang, she will waste a lot of time and even be injured herself.
Although the remaining people in the semicolon have far less cultivation than hers, if they are injured, they will be easy to attack and defense, and no one can tell what will happen. Therefore, the top priority of the woman in red is to solve Ye Sanniang without hurting her muscles and bones, and then slowly deal with Zhao Rang and the others.
"You have also reached the third-level martial arts master. You should know that your cultivation is not easy! As long as you leave now, I, Hongjiang, promise not to make things difficult for you. Even if we meet in the future, we can still be matched with sisters!"
The woman in red is originally named Hongjiang!
Zhao Rang muttered this name several times, and felt it was very strange!
Jiang is originally a kind of red, so how could anyone have a name called Hongjiang? Looking at the red dress she is wearing, it is a perfect match, but probably not the real name, but a nickname! As the saying goes, there is a wrong name, but there is no wrong nickname, but Zhao Rang cannot figure out any tricks for this nickname.
"You are Hong Jiang?!"
On the contrary, Ye Sanniang felt a little sad after hearing this name.
As the owner of a restaurant who settled in Yangguan and opened a restaurant inn, she naturally had much more knowledge of the Western Regions than others.
Especially after the Great Power split into the northern border and southern regions, many people in the Western Regions were even more fearless and said many things that they had only dared to hold on before, after two glasses of wine.
Once, after a leader of a Western Region caravan was drunk, he pulled Ye Sanniang and said something drunk, which mentioned the devastated God Cult that Zhao Rang had just mentioned and the name of the woman in front of him - Hongjiang.
Through the tone of the Western Regions, Ye Sanniang felt based on her intuition that the so-called God Cult must not be a force that is easy to mess with. Later, she deliberately asked about it, and for this reason, she did not hesitate to let these Western Regions take advantage of her. Unfortunately, no one knows any news about the Defeat God Cult and Hong Jiang. The leader never appeared in Yangguan again.
Now that he heard the woman in red admit that she was Hong Jiang, Ye Sanniang's heart trembled for no reason.
"It seems you know me!"
Hongjiang's expression soothed a little.
I have to say that reputation is really a good thing. Especially when you have heard of something from others and meet the real owner again, it will always have unexpected results!
Hongjiang didn't know who told Ye Sanniang that she was in her, but after a second thought, she felt that with her third-grade master's martial arts cultivation, she could already have some real secrets, so it was not strange to have heard of herself and the forces she was in.
Regarding Hongjiang's words, Ye Sanniang nodded this time.
There is no need for her to lie about this. So what can she do if she knows? She still won’t compromise, and she will not let this woman hurt Zhao Rang no matter what!
"Since you know me, you should also know what the consequences will be if you go against us in the Western Regions?"
This time Ye Sanniang shook her head.
Red face is angry!
She felt that Ye Sanniang was playing with her!
He knows who he is, but has no scruples about the power behind him. Such a person does not exist at all! At least there is no such person in Hongjiang's perception, so how could she know that Ye Sanniang is just telling the truth?
"Then are you determined to protect him?"
Hongjiang lifted the sword again and pointed it at Zhao Rang.
Ye Sanniang said sonorously:
"No matter what reason you have, he can't die!"
"Even if you will die yourself, he cannot die?"
Hong Jiang asked.
Ye Sanniang repeated word by word:
"Even if I can die myself, he can't die!"
Hong Jiang was slightly moved, as if she had touched the softness in her heart. After a long time, she finally turned into a sigh. She seemed to want to say something, but when she spoke, she tried hard to hold it back.
"In this way, how about we each take a step back?"
Ye Sanniang and Zhao Rang looked at each other. They both thought that Hong Jiang could not persuade him, so they must have taken action!
"How to withdraw?"
Zhao Rang asked.
Hong Jiang frowned, then waved her right hand, and exerted a powerful energy at Zhao Rang, saying:
"Is this your part to speak?"
Ye Sanniang quickly looked fast, and she lifted her strength and slashed her before Hong Jiang exerted her strength!
The sword Gang went forward and stirred the energy that Hong Jiang had driven into pieces, and still had the strength to force her to kill her body. She was blocked by her lightly, but it dissipated.
It was not until this time that Hong Jiang looked at Zhao Rang in front of him.
Previously, she thought that Zhao Rang was just Ye Sanniang's whim and found a little face to get rid of loneliness. But in that knife just now, she did not feel the love between men and women, the indulgence of men and women, and the indulgence of carnal indulgence between men and women, only the continuous and firm commitment, and the protection of mutual trust!
Such emotions appeared on two men and women who were extremely apart from their age and cultivation. Hongjiang found it very interesting, and she began to become interested in Zhao Rang!
Ye Sanniang struck while the iron was hot and said:
"There are at least four people here who you can't act rashly, and I don't include these four people!"
The four people she mentioned were Zhao Rang, Ximen Dazhuang, and the Yuan brothers and sisters. The reason why they did not completely shake off their identities was simply that they wanted Hong Jiang to be afraid of the mouse and gain more initiative for themselves and others.
Chapter completed!
