Chapter 30 Between life and death
Compared to Zhao Yuan, Wang Quan has more experience.
He had already seen that Zhao Yuan was at the end of his strength at this moment, so he was not in a hurry. He was waiting for the moment when Zhao Yuan was exhausted, and he also had enough time.
Originally, he thought things would develop as he imagined.
But Zhao Yuan's movements suddenly changed again. The previous movements were like running for his life. It was as if a person who was running suddenly slowed down, then walked into the garden and slowly walked along the garden path.
Take a slow stroll.
Moreover, the moves in his hand suddenly lost the fierceness before, and became more elegant and calm. Every move with the finger in his hand seemed to be done lightly, swung away at will, and then withdrawn at will.
The more so, the more elusive it becomes.
Now it was Wang Quan's turn to be surprised. He never understood why the boy in front of him changed so much in a short period of time. He vaguely revealed the demeanor of a master, especially the calmness.
He was surprised, and his movements couldn't help but slow down, revealing a flaw.
How could Zhao Yuan give up such a flaw?
Wang Quan felt his body go numb and his movements froze. Almost instantly, he gathered his inner strength to flush the acupuncture points.
Almost instantly, the restrained acupuncture points were opened.
His body only stiffened briefly, almost unnoticeably.
But at this moment, Zhao Yuan's hand had already reached his chest.
"He wants to attack my Tanzhong point!"
Wang Quan thought to himself, turning his body slightly to avoid Zhao Yuan's attack, but the sword in his hand turned and stabbed back.
As long as he doesn't retreat and attacks his Tanzhong point, you can understand him with one sword strike.
At this moment, Zhao Yuan's ears heard Xiaoyaozi's fierce shout: The eagle is soaring and the tiger is eating!
The sudden change!
Zhao Yuan suddenly turned his fingers into claws, grabbed his chest, and then vomited out his inner energy.
Simply, violent internal energy surged out from his fingers at this moment, and only a faint clicking sound was heard. The true energy that penetrated his body instantly shattered the bones in Wang Quan's chest, and the broken bones instantly pierced him.
heart.
"Pfft!"
Almost at the same time, several thrusts of the black sword pierced Zhao Yuan's back and penetrated three points of the flesh, but stopped instantly.
Even for a moment longer, the sword could easily pierce Zhao Yuan from behind, and death would have just passed by him.
The expression on Wang Quan's face was fixed on surprise at this moment. His eyes slowly lost their luster, and his limbs lost the strength to support him. He slowly fell to the side, and the black sword in his hand also fell to the ground.
Zhao Yuan was panting heavily and really wanted to sit down on the ground and have a good rest. However, the crisis for Liu Zhiqing and others was not over yet, so there was no chance to rest.
Immediately he rushed forward again.
At this moment, Wang Quan was the only one who participated in the ambush. However, the planners did not expect that such a change as Zhao Yuan would occur, and Wang Quan would be killed by him.
At this moment, the others saw that Wang Quan had fallen down, and Zhao Yuan rushed up as if he had returned from hell, covered in blood. It was scary to look at him, and he didn't know who shouted to retreat.
In an instant, those who were still eager to fight ran away. Even the injured assassins on the ground were being helped to escape.
The assassin retreated, and Zhao Yuan got what he wanted. The breath he had been holding in his heart suddenly leaked out. He knelt down involuntarily and quickly struck the ground with his sword. He gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go!"
Liu Zhiqing and others were not seriously injured. Except for the servant who was also injured, the two girls were not injured. After all, the assassin's goal was to capture Zhao Yuan alive. Seeing Zhao Yuan covered in blood, Liu Zhiqing hurriedly ran up, tears welling up in his eyes, and said:
"How...how are you?"
Zhao Yuan now looked like a bloody man. His whole body was covered with wounds. He had been hit by four or five swords and was also hit by a palm. It was very difficult to hold on.
Faced with Liu Zhiqing's inquiry, Zhao Yuan smiled and said: "It's okay, I can't die yet, so retreat first!"
It's not safe if he doesn't return to Liu's house. Who knows if he will come back at this moment. Xiaoyaozi seems to be hiding in the dark, but he must have his own reasons for not showing up so far.
The four of them helped each other to the pier, boarded the boat, and spent a lot of effort to reach Xiaoyingzhou Island. Seeing the miserable situation of the four of them, the disciples of the Liu family at the pier quickly reported Liu Zhiqing, and in a moment a large number of people were there.
They rushed over, and another group of people immediately went to the teahouse.
When Zhao Yuan arrived at Xiaoyingzhou Island, he had fainted due to excessive blood loss and exhaustion of internal energy. In order to bandage his wounds, the doctor had to have his clothes taken off, and Zhao Yuan had the water-stopping sword hidden in his waist.
was also discovered.
The doctor didn't pay much attention to it, but he was discovered by Liu Zhiqing who came later. As a member of the Liu family, he had seen a lot of magical weapons. Although the sword was wrapped in a tattered cloth, there was something revealed under the cloth.
The quality of the scabbard showed that the sword was extraordinary, so he picked it up curiously and pulled it out gently. Suddenly he felt a chill, the sword body was like a puddle of autumn water, as smooth as a mirror, but as thin as a cicada's wing.
There are also two simple small seal characters engraved on the sword's jaw: Zhishui.
The Zhishui Sword was Zhuge Tian's sword. After all, she was young and knew very little about the past of Jianghu. After thinking for a moment, she picked up Zhao Yuan's Zhishui Sword and brought back the black sword and went directly to Liu Shengyuan.
The children of the Liu family who went to the teahouse on the way also reported back that there were obvious signs of fighting in the teahouse, but there was no one there, not even half a body was left, only blood all over the ground.
Dai Mei frowned slightly, and after letting her disciples leave, she went straight to Liu Shengyuan's residence. At this moment, Liu Shengyuan was in the courtyard. When she saw Liu Zhiqing coming, she said, "I was just about to ask someone to find you."
Liu Zhiqing looked inside the room and said softly: "Where is my little sister?"
Liu Shengyuan said: "I made her drink some soothing medicine and she has fallen asleep now. How is the investigation going?"
Liu Zhiqing said: "The disciples who went forward responded. Except for obvious signs of fighting, all the corpses and injured were not found. Not even the weapons were found, except for this sword!"
With that said, Liu Zhiqing handed over the black sword.
Liu Shengyuan took the sword and looked at it carefully, and said: "Ghost Sword!"
Liu Zhiqing thought for a while and said: "Could it be the sword that people in the world call the Ghost Sword Wang Quan? There has been no news about this person for several years, so why did he suddenly appear?"
Liu Shengyuan shook his head and said: "I think this person likes to live alone. If it is really him that I care about now, who can buy him off and command him to attack our Liu family?"
Hearing this, Liu Zhiqing was shocked. It's not scary to have an enemy. What's scary is that you don't know where the enemy is hiding, let alone a powerful enemy.
After a while, she returned to normal, handed over the Shisui Sword in her hand, and said, "Grandpa, do you recognize this sword?"
Liu Shengyuan handed the black sword back to Liu Zhiqing, took the Zhishui Sword, and gently opened it. When he saw the two characters on the sword, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly asked: "Where did you get this sword from?"
Got it?"
Liu Zhiqing rarely saw her grandfather behave like this, and she was a little curious in her heart, saying: "It was the disciple of the Beggar Clan who rescued the little sister in Jiuzhou last time and escorted the little sister back. According to Liu Yun, this time he also
It was this person who fought so hard to protect each other that several people were able to escape. Grandpa, what is the origin of this sword?"
Liu Shengyuan took a deep breath and slowly pulled out the sword. Under the sun, the sword body had a light lake blue color, and there was a faint light flowing on it.
At this moment, Yagyu Shengyuan lost all his internal strength, and the Shisui Sword naturally bent downward in his hand, like a dormant spiritual snake.
Liu Shengyuan's eyes went back and forth on the Zhishui Sword several times, then he slowly put the sword into its sheath, handed it back, and asked: "Last time you said you would send someone to Feixian Valley to inquire, is there any news?
Send it back?"
Liu Zhiqing took the sword and said: "There is no news sent back."
Suddenly, she thought, why did her grandfather suddenly ask about Feixiangu, and she quickly asked: "Does this sword have anything to do with Zhuge Tian?"
Liu Shengyuan nodded and said: "Yes, this sword belongs to the evil king Zhuge Tian, and it is called the Zhishui Sword! In order to make this sword, he found Gongsun Jian, the sword madman who is the best swordsmith in the world. I and
Zhuge Tian does not have a close relationship with him, but he has a close relationship with Gongsun Jian, so it was him who told me this matter."
Precisely because of the close relationship between Gongsun Jian and Liu Shengyuan, the Liu family even sent many craftsmen to follow him as apprentices, which made the Liu family's weapon casting skills make rapid progress. After so many years of development, the Liu family's weapons have already made great progress.
Become a famous weapon casting expert in the world.
Liu Zhiqing did not doubt her grandfather's words at all, but she was still shocked. She carefully looked at the sword in her hand and said, "But I have never heard of Zhuge Tian's descendant in the world. Could he have stolen this sword?"
Come?"
Liu Shengyuan said: "It is undoubtedly a fool's dream to steal this sword from Zhuge Tian. Let's leave him at Liu's house for the time being and then investigate the matter thoroughly. As for the sword, we should also return it to him first to avoid arousing suspicion!"
Liu Zhiqing nodded, but her mind had already begun to think about how to keep Zhao Yuan in the Liu family, holding Zhuge Tian's water-stopping sword, and single-handedly killing the ghost sword Wang Quan. How could this person be so unknown in the world?
Someone like him? If he could be used by the Liu family, he might be able to be called a helping hand to the Liu family.
If the Liu family wants to rise again, it needs every available power. If he is really the descendant of Zhuge Tian, then this person will be of great use to the Liu family.
Liu Zhiqing's expression darkened.
After leaving Liu Shengyuan's residence, she returned to the place where Zhao Yuan was healing his wounds. She carefully wrapped the sword in a strip of cloth. After thinking about it, she put it under Zhao Yuan's quilt before turning around and leaving.
As soon as she left with her front legs, someone walked in with her back legs. She looked at Zhao Yuan lying on the bed, grinned, and whispered: "What a coincidence!"
