The Sword Named No Way Out - Chapter 7
“Sovereign, be careful!” Yu Chixiao has been traveling all year round to slay demons and slay demons. He is used to facing all kinds of emergencies. His first reaction is: “Ghost cultivators have no body, and ordinary people can’t see them. Be careful of sneak attacks!”
Xu Shuangce turned a deaf ear to it.
The peach petals all over the sky in the wind were reflected in his sharp eyes, and then his eyes turned, first he glanced at Yu Chixiao to rule out his doubts; Not quite sure.
“Xiang Xiaoyuan” stared at the ground in front of him, his body trembling slightly, as if he was so afraid that he didn’t even dare to raise his head.
It seemed that after an infinitely long time, he felt the terrible pressure above his head move away: “Where did Tao Yao come from?”
Gong Wei’s back relaxed imperceptibly.
Yu Chixiao obviously hesitated for a moment: “Nor does this junior… Sovereign, be careful!”
A blood-red streamer pierced from the back, as fast as night lightning, but Xu Shuangce didn’t even turn his head – but the sword didn’t move and rang, halfway out of its sheath, and slammed into the blood-red sword edge of Ghost Cultivator.
The aura of thunder surged out with the sword, and Xu Shuangce stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, and pressed the blood sword with his backhand so that he couldn’t move, and pierced Guixiu’s chest with just a single blow!
Gong Wei felt a chill in his heart.
Xu Shuangce’s “Reluctance” is the same as Ying Kai’s “Ding Shanhai”, which is recognized by the world as a weapon of divinity. However, once he sensed the approaching murderous intent, he would spontaneously protect the Lord, like a white dragon descending into the world. Gong Wei, who tried to assassinate him sixteen years ago, fell short because of this, and died under this invincible magic weapon.
In other words, he was stabbed to death by a sword in this way.
Although in the eyes of the world, it should be their own fault.
The ghost image was dissected several times, but disappeared in thick smoke, and appeared unscathed when it reappeared, but this time, it was forcefully nailed with a huge gap that penetrated back and forth. It is not Xu Shuangce’s opponent at all, even if it has no body, it will not help, and it will soon retreat, but it is not reconciled to escape. It is useless to block it with the **** ghost sword, and the white prefect pulls out the sheath and stabs the opponent’s throat!
If Xu Shuangce could see it for himself, he turned his head to avoid the sword edge. The ghost might not have seen his movement clearly, but the **** of his left hand pinched the sword edge out of thin air, sensing something in an instant.
“Prefect Bai,” he said in a low voice.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his eyes and “looked” at Li Gui, and some kind of emotion finally appeared on that frozen face:
“Miya Wei?”
“Xiang Xiaoyuan” knelt behind him, his fingers were green and white and trembling, and they dug deeply into the soil.
The ghost figure froze, and suddenly a dazzling red electric current emanated from the whole body. Yu Chixiao sensitively sensed the ominous situation: “Sovereign, be careful of sneak attacks!”
—Xu Shuangce didn’t move at all.
If you look carefully, his tightly clenched hand retracted slightly, as if it was an illusion.
Just when Yu Chixiao was startled and wanted to rush up, he saw that the ghost was torn apart, and the hurricane soared into the sky and flattened the ground, and disappeared into the void!
No one could see Xu Shuangce’s expression, he stood there motionless, as if his whole body was frozen, his hair and robe sleeves fell with the wind, and the scattered flowers spun down to his feet.
It took a long time to hear the sound of “Qiang”, and he had no choice but to put his sword back into its sheath, but turned his head without looking at anyone, with a hoarse and gloomy voice:
“Where are the dead and wounded?”
·
The innocent people who were haunted in front of the Linjiang Prince’s Mansion had been rescued. Meng Yunfei was unconscious, and Xu Shuangce knocked on his temple casually. It seemed that some kind of thick and persistent black mist was blown away out of thin air, and two or three mouthfuls of blood spewed out instantly. , passed out.
Yu Chixiao immediately asked his friend to help him down to take medicine and recuperate. Xu Shuangce lifted his robe and sat down without raising his head, “Report all the events of the past twelve hours, without any concealment.”
He didn’t need to add the second half of the sentence at all, everyone present seemed to be a savior, and wished they could explain all the various “heretics” that happened in the city in the past half month, including the owner’s dog not biting anyone, the west’s chicken not laying eggs, etc. It’s better to report everything to him in detail. But Yu Chixiao knew Xu Zongzhu’s temperament, he said that every word is a word, and he would never allow one stroke to reduce, nor allow one stroke to add, so he quickly stood up and bowed his head to answer according to the rules, and said: “The ghost Xiu seems to be very afraid of the boy’s heart. Blood, last night the noble disciple Xiang Xiaogong sprayed the blood of his heart on the ghost sword out of desperation…”
“Xiang Xiaoyuan.” Xu Shuangce interrupted Yu Chixiao suddenly.
All the monks in the hall looked back, and Gong Wei instantly became the focus of all eyes.
Xu Shuangce said, “Come here.”
Gong Wei’s terrible penetrating injury on his left shoulder has been treated by the disciples of the medical school in the city. The muscles and bones are connected, the bleeding and pain are stopped, and a thick layer of the holy medicine of the fairy family is applied, but at this time it is still sore and weak, and the pain is not strong, and he walks staggeringly. Shaking, even speaking timidly: “Sovereign.”
Xu Shuangce looked him up and down, and asked, “You are the only one who can see the appearance of that ghost?”
“Xiang Xiaoyuan” didn’t even dare to raise his head: “Yes.”
“In the past, people died only at night, but from the second day you came to Jiangdu, ghost cultivators started to make trouble during the day?”
“…Yes.”
Xu Shuangce was silent for a moment, and everyone in the lobby was silent, even each other’s nervous breathing could be heard clearly.
Gong Wei shrugged her shoulders and stared at her toes. After an unknown amount of time, Xu Shuangce handed the helpless hand to her eyes, and said in a flat tone, “Pull it out.”
He is still suspicious!
This would have been the case if the director of the uterus of the previous generation dared to oppose him, he would have hidden his helplessness behind his back in the blink of an eye, and then with a smile behind his back, he tilted his head and asked, “Do you want it? Please, Xu Bai.”
Of course Xu Shuangce would not pay attention to him, let alone search him forcibly. At most, he stared at Gong Wei condescendingly for a moment, then turned around and left. In a few days, Ying Kai would naturally return his helplessness back to Cangyang Mountain while beating Gong Wei on the head.
But the little charmer in this life is as low as an ant, not even qualified to speak in front of Sect Master Xu. Gong Wei’s throat moved up and down, he closed his eyes, and then slowly stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword—
Click!
A cold light flowed out, and Gong Wei’s knuckles were bluish white due to the severe pain.
“Is there a pain in the left heart?” Xu Shuangce asked suddenly.
“Xiang Xiaoyuan” looked at him cowardly and timidly, and his trembling voice from pain sounded like fear: “I… tell the suzerain, this disciple is not good at learning, and just now he injured his left shoulder.”
As he said that, he took off his left skirt slightly, revealing the blood-stained bandage.
Xu Shuangce’s eyes fell on the bloodstain, and he narrowed his eyes silently.
The harm to the soul is direct and fatal. Many people who died by the sword will still have their souls damaged after reincarnation. Once the sword is close, it may respond.
Will it be discovered?
Gong Wei was tormented by the severe pain until his eyes turned black, but his mind was spinning with various thoughts. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the unicorn blood jade on his waist from the corner of his eye, and a ridiculous thought came to his mind: wait, I seem to be still dignified now. What about the Taoist couple who are the quasi-heirs of the Jianzong family who haven’t had time to retire?
If Xu Shuangce dared to arrest me and go back to Lingchi, I would hug Yuchixiao in this lobby and yell at Xu Zongzhu as a disrespectful old man and forcibly robbing the younger generation’s wife. I don’t know which one of him or Yuchi’s big brother will get angry first ?
“?” Yu Chixiao asked in his heart what you mean by staring at me, and signaled Gong Wei with his eyes: “Sect Master Xu, what are you doing? Did you offend him?”
Gong Wei was in so much pain that she couldn’t even maintain her expression, she couldn’t pay attention to him, and shook her head feebly.
The two were going back and forth, when suddenly a servant of the Jianzong family hurried over the threshold, bent down and offered a mahogany lacquer plate: “Sect Master Xu! Mr. Yuchi! The woman outside the Linjiang Palace packed all her belongings.” Yes, please take a look!”
——The illusion “introduction” that Meng Yunfei and others were recruited just now!
The short-lived treacherous atmosphere just now was suddenly broken, Xu Shuangce suddenly found something in the lacquer plate, and turned his attention: “Bring it.”
The subordinate hurriedly bowed to hold the lacquer plate, Gong Wei stepped back two steps, and his tense back relaxed slightly imperceptibly.
Although the ghost cultivator had already left, the “introduction” should be useless, but all the hairpins, pearls, jade, and silk fan incense pieces in the holding plate were suppressed by heavy talismans to prevent further changes. Xu Shuangce rummaged through the dazzling array of women’s makeup, and picked out a handful of small flower-prism twisted silk mercury mirrors, and threw them on the desk with a clang, with a very unsightly expression.
Two words came out of his thin lips: “Mirror technique.”
None of the monks in the hall could understand it, only Yu Chixiao suddenly thought of another thing: “Thousand-degree mirror world?”
“Mirror technique” is a kind of illusion technique, which is very rare in itself, and no one has practiced it in recent years. Only a disciple of a wealthy family like Yu Chixiao, who has seen and heard countless magical artifacts since he was a child, knows the most complex, profound, and most frightening artifact in the mirror art – the thousand-degree mirror world.
It is a group of thousand mirror palaces.
One of the three top illusions of the Immortal League, mirroring yin and yang, refers to that when the power of the thousand-degree mirror world is exerted to the extreme, people lost in the mirror palace will completely confuse the difference between reality and fantasy, and even study for a long time in the illusory world. Growing up, getting married and having children, birth, old age, sickness and death, you will never realize that your parents, wives and children, close friends and colleagues are all false mirror objects in the illusion.
If this magic weapon falls into the hands of people with ulterior motives, it may harm people for a lifetime. Therefore, Ying Kai locked the Mirror Palace in the Immortal League Punishment Institute, and personally sealed most of its power, and only opened a small corner with only a few lenses on a daily basis, mainly for teaching and testing. The disciples of the academy use all kinds of illusions to hone their willpower and mental strength.
And the only person in the world who often uses the thousand-degree mirror world is Gong Wei, the head of punishment.
Yu Chixiao opened and closed his mouth a few times before he said with difficulty: “The ghost sword that the suzerain saw just now is the White Prefect. Could it be that the ghost cultivator is really…really…”
Someone from below lost their voice in fear: “Is it the dean of the palace?!”
Gong Wei closed his eyes and said to his heart, gentlemen, you really can’t open any pot and carry any pot.
Xu Shuangce hated mirror art deeply, and no one in this world knew better than Gong Wei how much he had suffered in the thousand-degree mirror world. If you make a list of what Sect Master Xu most wants to do in his life, digging out the palace chief and killing him again can only be ranked second, and rushing into the punishment court to smash the thousand-degree mirror world may be ranked first.
Seeing that Xu Shuangce’s expression was cloudy and uncertain, he held the hilt of Fu Naihe’s sword with one hand, stroked it imperceptibly, and said after a long time: “No. It’s just ordinary mirror technique, not the thousand-degree mirror world.”
There are some deep and indistinguishable emotions in his tone, which at first sounds will give people a slight illusion, as if he actually hopes to reproduce the world is the thousand-degree mirror world.
— But the illusion passed too quickly, and he suddenly asked: “Where are the twenty-eight corpses?”
Yu Chixiao said: “In the other village of the medical school in the city, Yunfei and I have all opened the coffins for inspection, and all the corpses have been confirmed to be self-inflicted… Where are you going, suzerain?”
Seeing Xu Shuangce get up abruptly, without looking back, he said, “Call the soul.”
Yu Chixiao thought he hadn’t explained clearly, so he hurriedly chased after him: “My lord, the ghosts killed by sorcery are incomplete and cannot be summoned! This junior has already tried many times when he first arrived in Linjiangdu. really-“
Very good, Gong Wei thought.
Another self-defeating one.
Sure enough, Yu Chixiao almost bumped into Xu Shuangce’s back before he finished speaking, and hurriedly stopped, only to see Xu Zongzhu turn his head and glance at him indifferently, saying:
“that is you.”
Yu Chixiao: “…”
Gong Wei almost laughed out loud gloatingly, but luckily he was suppressed by the severe pain—You young people are always telling Xu Zongzhu to be superior to Xu Zongzhu, wishing to hold the person surnamed Xu on the altar and worship three sticks of incense, it should be! I should let you also experience Sect Master Xu’s temper!
Xu Shuangce no longer paid attention to the juniors of the Jianzong family, his eyes passed over the surrounding people, and suddenly landed on “Xiang Xiaoyuan” who was sneaking back, his cold eyes remained motionless for a while, and said lightly:
“You come too.”
With a click, a thunder came down from the sky.
Gong Wei couldn’t laugh anymore.
