Only then did Chu Xi suddenly realize, and asked in a hissed voice, "Is that him?"
He Tingzhou didn't answer him, but said: "Didn't you say you love me? Isn't it good to die with me now?"
As he spoke, he raised his voice and said, "Xu Shaoxia, block the entrance of this hole."
There was the sound of rocks falling from outside.
Chu Xi opened her eyes wide and shouted, "No! I can't die here!"
After saying that, he jumped up, stumbled and rushed out. As soon as he ran to the entrance of the cave, he saw Xu Feng rushing towards him, and then he felt a dull pain in his chest.
Chu Xi looked down and saw a dagger stuck squarely in her heart.
It turned out that although Xu Feng was disarmed, he still hid a dagger, and when Chu Xi was in a state of confusion, he really succeeded in one blow.
Chu Xi immediately bled profusely, stared at Xu Feng fiercely, and said, "It's all because of you that the palace lord will treat me like this!"
The killing intent was on his face, and he didn't care about the injuries on his body, he slashed at Xu Feng with his palm.
Xu Feng was far from an opponent, he was in a hurry to attack, if it wasn't for Chu Xi who was poisoned first and injured later, he might have already lost.
Chu Xi's palm technique was nimble and tricky, and she was determined to put Xu Feng to death, but after only ten strokes, Xu Feng felt that he couldn't stand it anymore. He calmed down, and simply tried to ignore his injuries, and raised his dagger to stab Chu Xi again.
Chu Xi gritted her teeth, and suddenly changed her move, raising her foot to kick Xu Feng's wrist. Xu Feng felt a pain, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang.
Chu Xi immediately jumped up, palming continuously.
Xu Feng rolled on the ground, trying to retrieve his dagger, but Chu Xi had already caught up, and instead grabbed the dagger, and raised his hand to stab Xu Feng's forehead.
Xu Feng had no choice but to hold the blade with both hands. His hands were immediately dripping with blood.
Although Chu Xi was injured, her strength was far stronger than Xu Feng's. The dagger in her hand sank little by little, and said with a sneer, "Isn't the Palace Master going to protect you? I will let you die without a place to bury you."
Seeing that the dagger was only a few inches away from the center of his eyebrows, Xu Feng knew that as long as he let go, he would surely die.
It doesn't matter that he's dead, but...
But what about He Tingzhou
He was hurt more and more, and he must not be able to escape.
Xu Feng's back was dripping with cold sweat, thinking that he couldn't do it, so he had to die with Chu Xi.
At this critical moment, a cold light flashed in Xu Feng's eyes, and a sword was lightly placed on Chu Xi's neck.
Chu Xi's movements froze immediately. A familiar crisp voice sounded from behind him: "Hall Master Chu was really majestic when he pointed his sword at me earlier."
Chu Xi shrank her pupils, turned her head stiffly, and cried out, "It's you!"
Shen Yi smiled and stood behind Chu Xi, holding a sword in his hand.
He Tingzhou coughed lightly, and said, "Shen Yi, you came too late."
"Who asked the Palace Master to leave me alone? I have gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers alone, and I have just found this place."
He Tingzhou didn't believe him, and said: "How can it be so rare for some small institutions to catch the number one killer in Linglong Pavilion?"
A dimple appeared on Shen Yi's cheeks, and he said: "I only care about taking money to do things, but I dare not claim to be the number one. If the Palace Master praises me like this, could it be that beauty is in the eyes of lovers?"
When the two were talking, Chu Xi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly went berserk and slammed her head against the sword. The tip of the sword was knocked off several inches, drawing a bloodstain on his neck, but Shen Yi took a step back because of this.
Chu Xi covered her bloody wound, took the opportunity to jump up from the ground, and rushed out.
"Ah," Shen Yi muttered, "I can't let him run away."
He raised his sword and chased after him.
Only then did Xu Feng breathe a sigh of relief. He stood up in some embarrassment, seeing He Tingzhou still leaning against the stone wall, the bloodstains on his lips were shocking.
He hurried over and said, "How are you? That poison..."
"There is no poison, it's just a kind of medicine that numbs the hands and feet. The symptoms are similar to poisoning. I bit the corner of my mouth and made a scene, making Chu Xi mistakenly think that I was poisoned."
If not, Xu Feng would not be able to hurt him.
But Xu Feng thought in his heart that it was because He Tingzhou didn't have any poison on him, if he had, this person would definitely eat it too.
When he thought of this, he was startled by his own thoughts, he didn't dare to think about it any more, he just raised his hand to wipe the blood on He Tingzhou's lips, then lowered his head to bandage the wound on his own hand.
He Tingzhou glanced at him quietly, neither of them said anything.
Shen Yi quickly turned back. His clothes were stained with blood, and his tone of voice was very brisk: "Chu Xi has been removed, and only Lin and his son are left. Palace Master, don't forget to promise me a reward."
"Don't worry, when did your Linglong Pavilion ever lose money?"
"That's true."
As Shen Yi said, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing a small piece of white wrist, and then he swung his sword, and cut a cut on his arm.
Blood spurted.
Shen Yi handed the bleeding arm to He Tingzhou, and said boldly: "Drink."
He Tingzhou frowned, and first glanced at Xu Feng.
Sensitive to knowledge and interest, Shen immediately turned his arms to Xu Feng and said, "Xu Shaoxia, you come first."
Xu Feng was astonished.
He Tingzhou explained: "Shen Yi is a medicine man raised by Linglong Pavilion. His blood can cure hundreds of poisons, and the poison of a mere thousand-day drunk is naturally not a problem."
Medicine man
Xu Feng traveled the rivers and lakes, and he also heard of such a kind of person who used decoctions to wash his bones and marrow since he was a child, and then took various medicinal materials to grow up.
Shen Yi curled her lips and said, "It's a pity that my blood can't deal with the Gu worms in the main body of the palace, so I can barely suppress them."
When Xu Feng heard him mention the matter of Gu worms, his injured right hand trembled unconsciously.
He Tingzhou's expression was calm, and he said: "Xu Shaoxia, let's detoxify first."
Xu Feng had no choice but to bite the bullet and drink a little of Shen Yi's blood.
Then he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground to adjust his internal breath. I don't know if it's because the medicine man's blood really has miraculous effects, but after a while, he felt a real energy rising slowly in his dantian. Xu Feng was patient and guided this true energy to circulate in his body for a week. When he opened his eyes, his internal strength had recovered by 60 to 70%.
And He Tingzhou at the side has also detoxified, his complexion is much better than before, but his face is still pale. Seeing Xu Feng open his eyes, he immediately turned his gaze away, stood up and said, "Let's go."
As soon as he took a step, his figure flickered.
Xu Feng hurriedly stood up from the ground, and just as he was about to go forward, Shen Yi had already supported He Tingzhou first, and said: "The palace master has suffered too much damage recently, and has lost a lot of energy and blood. I can't do it again in a while, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
Shen Yi didn't dare to answer.
He Tingzhou waved his hands, still walking in the front.
The three of them walked back from the original path, and after some twists and turns, they returned to the previous stone room. The mural on the wall of the stone room is still there, He Tingzhou took a torch to light it, and looked at it carefully, and saw that the image of the god worshiped by the people in the painting had a red eye. With a flick of his finger, the eyeballs twirled, and then the paint on the wall fell off, and the murals on all sides disappeared in an instant, but a stone wall suddenly opened.
It was certainly not the door they had come in through.
Xu Feng then asked: "Aren't you going back to find Murong and the others?"
"If I'm right, they're ahead of us by now."
"Is there anyone among them who knows the way?"
"Lin Yu's mother stole the martial arts secret book from here. After she betrayed the Palace of Bliss, she may not have mentioned it to Lin Xiao." He Tingzhou walked into the secret passage, and said, "Let's go quickly." , after such a long delay, Mr. Murong might not be able to wait to make a move."
Xu Feng was startled when he heard that: "Senior Murong?"
Shen Yi smiled and said: "The martial arts contest between the palace master and Murong Shen is fake, but it is true to invite Lin Xiao to show up. Don't look at them fighting like flying sand and flying stones, and the sky is dark. In fact, it didn't take much effort at all, it was just for good looks. Especially Murong Shen The old fox actually vomited a mouthful of blood forcefully, even I was willing to bow down."
Xu Feng came to understand after hearing this: "Could it be that senior Murong has been suspicious of Villa Master Lin for a long time? What happened today is just a game set up by your joint efforts?"
He Tingzhou didn't hide from him, nodded and said: "Mr. Murong had a long talk with me all night in the dungeon of Murong's house. Although he believed that the robbery of the bride had nothing to do with the Palace of Bliss, he was suffering because he didn't have the mastermind behind the scenes. It happened that I was also looking into this matter, so I arranged a scene of feigning death to escape, and after that he kept me in the dark, until after Luofeng Manor was bloodbathed, he finally found some clues."
Xu Feng let out an "ah", and only then did he realize that they were able to escape from Murong's dungeon at that time, all because of Murong Shen turning a blind eye.
Shen Yi snorted and said, "You really deserve to be an old fox."
Xu Feng remembered something again, and asked: "Then Master Liu and the others..."
"Liu Yue has been prepared for a long time, and should have rescued those righteous people."
The three of them walked while talking, groping forward in the dark passage. I also encountered many troubles along the way, but with a long sword in hand, Shen Yi was free from any traps.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, there was the faint sound of swords clashing in front of them.
He Tingzhou gestured to Shen Yi, signaling him to put out the torch, and the three of them walked in the dark for a while, and finally saw a gleam of light.
It turned out that at the end of this secret passage was another huge stone door, the whole door was polished as smooth as a mirror, without a trace of lines, let alone how to open it. Looking from a distance, Lin Yu and Murong Fei were fighting under the stone gate.
Murong Fei hadn't recovered his internal strength, so he could only use his sword moves, Lin Yu didn't really move, and only competed with him in moves. Even so, when the fight reached thirty strokes, Murong Fei had already lost.
Lin Yu raised his sword point obliquely, and the light of the sword passed Murong Fei's ear, and there was a "pop", but it knocked off his hair tie.
Murong Fei's black hair fell down.
Lin Yu's hand holding the sword trembled, and hurriedly withdrew his sword and said, "I'm sorry, I missed it."
Murong Fei's face changed color, he slammed the sword on the ground, and shouted: "No more, I lost."
Lin Xiao and Murong Shen stood at the two ends of the stone gate to watch the battle, and they both burst out laughing after hearing this.
Lin Xiaodao: "Brother Murong, you are superior to me in both intelligence and martial arts, but in teaching your son, it seems that I am superior."
Murong Shen said: "Brother Lin is good at teaching children, I have always admired it. Do you want to compete again?"
"No need, since Palace Master He has already arrived, it's important for us to get down to business."
He Tingzhou's whereabouts were revealed by Lin Xiao, so he stopped hiding and walked out of the secret passage openly. When he walked towards Murong Shen, he had already ejected an antidote that was hidden in his hand.
Murong Shen took the medicine in his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Lin guessed right, Palace Master He has indeed caught up."
How did their actions escape Lin Xiao's eyes? Lin Xiao's face was calm, and he said: "But I never expected that Brother Murong, who is a hero of righteousness, would join hands with people from Bliss Palace."
"I have never been a pedantic person. As long as the goals are the same, who can't cooperate with me?" After finishing speaking, he swallowed the antidote in front of Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao laughed, and said, "It's really like what Brother Murong would say. There's only one thing I don't know. I think I've done it perfectly. How did you see the flaw?"
"The man in black under your command acted cautiously and did not leave any clues behind. Brother Lin was really ruthless especially about the bloodbath of Fengzhuang."
"Those who achieve great things don't stick to small details."
"Using the opportunity of the wedding banquet, you slaughtered all the guests, and then blamed the matter on the Palace of Bliss, stirring up a dispute between good and evil. This move is indeed a clever move. But everything is too late, I have a friendship with Brother Lin. After many years, I naturally know the details of Luofeng Manor, how could it be so easily breached? Brother Lin, your martial arts are not inferior to mine, so who can take your life? Unless...unless you are the mastermind behind the scenes."
"So that's the case, I was too hasty." Lin Xiao nodded and said, "I haven't fought against Brother Murong for a long time, I don't know how the outcome will be now?"
"I just want to ask Brother Lin for advice."
Murong Shen stretched out his hand to grab it, the sword that Murong Fei threw on the ground was pulled by his internal force and flew straight into his hand.
Lin Xiao praised "good skill", and with a flick of his sleeves, he greeted him with only a pair of fleshy palms.
When the world's two great masters are dueling, is there any room for others to intervene
He Tingzhou folded his arms and watched the battle.
Murong Fei tied up his hair again, he was very happy to see Xu Feng returned safely.
However, Shen Yi shook the sword in his hand, pointed at Lin Yu and said, "I've heard for a long time that Mr. Lin's swordsmanship is superb, I wonder if I'm lucky enough to see it?"
"Family-inherited martial arts, how can it compare to Linglong Pavilion's unique knowledge?" Lin Yu said with the same polite attitude, "If you don't dislike it, you can learn from it."
"Then please."
With a flash of sword light, Shen Yi had already made the first move. He was originally a killer, his swordsmanship is fierce, and he pays attention to the word "fast". Lin Yu, like the breeze and bright moon, unhurriedly drew out his sword, neutralizing the ferocious attacks one by one.
Their sword moves lightly on one side, but on the other side, Lin Xiao and Murong Shen's fight is open and closed. The two people's whole body is full of energy, and their clothes are flying, as if there is a thunderbolt.
Murong Fei was worried that his father would suffer a loss for a while, and wanted to see if Lin Yu was defeated. He was so busy that he couldn't keep his eyes open.
These two battles are a matter of life and death, Xu Feng was also worried, and said: "I don't know who will win or lose first?"
"Lin Yu and Shen Yi are indistinguishable. I'm afraid they won't be able to finish the fight for a while. As for Mr. Murong and Lin Xiao..." He Tingzhou looked at the situation on the field and fell silent for a while.
Murong Fei glared at him and said, "What do you mean? Could it be that my father will lose?"
"Lin Xiao practiced that evil skill with human life as a guide, and supplemented with the technique of dual cultivation. He has improved by leaps and bounds. One year of practice is worth ten years of skill. Mr. Murong has just taken the antidote, and his internal strength has not yet fully recovered. Now Although it seems that they are evenly matched, it is hard to say after fighting to a hundred moves."
Murong Fei said angrily: "It's not the crooked ways you Bliss Palace came up with!"
While speaking, Murong Shen stabbed out with a sword, directly hitting the vital point in Lin Xiao's chest. Lin Xiao didn't dodge or dodge, he pushed out with both palms flat, and the tip of the sword crooked only by internal strength.
Murong Shen's body flickered, and he was so shocked that he retreated a few steps.
Lin Xiao was as immovable as a mountain, and said: "Brother Murong's martial arts are indeed better than before."
"Brother Lin is the one... who is impressive."
"Since Brother Murong came prepared, I have to show some real skills."
When he said the last word, Lin Xiao had a faint blueness on his face.
That youthful energy was fleeting, and when he made another move, his movement speed was more than twice as fast as before? Murong Shen's martial art skills were a bit overwhelming, after a few tricks, he was in danger again and again.
Murong Fei was taken aback: "What kind of weird exercise is this?"
He Tingzhou said: "It seems that his evil kung fu has reached its peak."
At this moment, Murong Shen's feet were sluggish and he was almost hit by Lin Xiao's palm. Murong Fei shouted, "Father, be careful!"
He flew over.
With Murong Fei's martial arts, who is Lin Xiao's opponent? Xu Feng hurriedly chased after him to stop him.
Lin Xiao was fighting with Murong Shen to a critical juncture, he would not take them seriously, with a flick of his robe sleeve, Xu Feng suddenly felt a gust of strong wind coming towards him, like a stormy sea, shaking people unsteadily.
Just as Xu Feng wanted to use his kung fu to resist, he wrapped his arms around his waist and led him to turn around slightly, dispelling the force.
As soon as Xu Feng raised his head, he met He Tingzhou's eyes.
He Tingzhou took a fixed look at him, and only said: "Swords have no eyes, don't go forward."
After finishing speaking, he pushed Xu Feng on the back and sent him out of the battle circle.
Then he took a step forward and said loudly: "Master Lin, I also want to learn about your brilliant tricks."
Lin Xiao laughed loudly and said, "Good job!"
With a flick of the sleeve, it caught the long sword in Murong Shen's hand and stabbed towards He Tingzhou. He Tingzhou didn't have a weapon in his body, so he had to rely on his palms to meet the enemy. Fortunately, Murong Shen was not one to wait for nothing, he immediately stabilized the sword's momentum, the edge of the sword deflected, and only brushed He Tingzhou's cheek. He Tingzhou pointed like a knife, and with a "chi", a cut was made on Lin Xiao's sleeve. Murong Shen took the opportunity to withdraw his sword, and the two attacked together.
With two against one, this could be a tie with Lin Xiao.
Murong Fei wanted to rush up several times, but was stopped by Xu Feng: "You and I are not good at martial arts, not only can't help, but it will distract Senior Murong."
"Then what to do?"
Xu Feng looked at the situation in front of him and said, "Surround Wei and save Zhao."
Murong Fei's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood his intentions: "Yes, let's take down Lin Yu first."
Lin Yu and Shen Yi were already in an inextricable fight, but as soon as Murong Fei and Xu Feng joined the battle, the situation changed suddenly. No matter how good Lin Yu's swordsmanship was, he was no match for the three of them, and he fought and retreated, unknowingly getting farther and farther away from the stone gate.
Shen Yi smiled and said: "Young master Lin, you should just arrest him without a fight."
Lin Yu was forced to this point, but he didn't show any signs of embarrassment. He said calmly, "The victory is not yet decided. It's too early for me to withdraw my sword."
While talking, everyone suddenly heard a loud "bang".
When following the sound, I saw Lin Xiao hitting the stone gate with his palm, causing dust to fly up. And the empty door behind him was wide open, Murong Shen and He Tingzhou naturally would not let go of this opportunity and slapped each other.
Lin Xiao got two palms in succession, and his body shook violently, but he didn't seem to notice it, his footwork changed, and after walking a few steps, another palm was imprinted on the stone gate. And Murong Shen and He Tingzhou's palms seemed to be glued to his back, and they also followed closely for a few steps, which looked rather strange.
Murong Fei wondered: "Is this Lin surnamed mad? What kind of trick is he playing?"
"It's not a trick." There was still a dimple on Shen Yi's cheeks, but his voice sank, "Lin Xiao's martial arts are so weird, he drew the internal energy of the Palace Master and the others to himself, and then used it to hit the stone gate."
"Could it be that he wants to open the stone gate like this?"
It's just that this stone gate is tall and big, weighing more than a thousand catties, how can it be broken by only one person
At this time, Lin Xiao slapped three palms in succession. Xu Feng saw that the place where he landed his palms was not random, and guessed, "Is there some mechanism?"
Shen Yi said: "I'll go and have a look."
With a single step, he flew over.
Lin Yu got the gap and immediately followed.
Xu Feng and Murong Fei looked at each other, naturally they followed closely.
As soon as the four of them got to the edge of the stone gate, they saw Lin Xiao slapping his palm again, followed by a burst of shaking. It turned out that when the stone gate shook, even the ground trembled. On the stone door that was originally as smooth as a mirror, a huge eye gradually emerged at this time. The eyeballs are blood-red in color, just like the eyes on the god statue in the mural.
When everyone saw this situation, they were all shocked.
Only Lin Xiao let out a long laugh, ran over with his feet, and pressed his palms on the bright red eyes. There was a faint greenness on his face, and a white mist rose above his head, it was obvious that he had exhausted his internal strength.
He Tingzhou was the first to come back to his senses, and shouted: "Quick back!"
Seeing that Xu Feng was nearby, he hurriedly pulled him away together, and the rest of them also dodged when they saw this. Unexpectedly, it was too late, Xu Feng only felt a bang in his ears, as if something had exploded, and then he saw bright red blood dripping from that huge eyeball, and the whole stone gate shattered from the middle.
Stones fell down one after another.
At first, everyone was able to split the stones with their palms, but they couldn't handle it later, so they could only dodge. Xu Feng's ears kept buzzing, and he couldn't hear anything clearly. He only knew that he was pulled aside by He Tingzhou, and he fell on the ground to avoid the stones.
From time to time, huge boulders fell down, making potholes on the ground, which was very thrilling. But He Tingzhou stayed by his side tightly, never letting him get hurt.
It wasn't until the roar in the ear gradually dissipated that everything calmed down.
Xu Feng looked up and saw smoke and dust everywhere, everyone looked ashamed, even He Tingzhou Ruyu's face was covered with a little dust.
In the chaos just now, everyone was injured to some extent, only Lin Xiao still stood where he was, staring straight ahead. The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the original stone gate had completely disappeared. Behind the gate was a cliff, which was only connected to the opposite side by an iron lock bridge, and on the other side of the cliff—the entire mountain peak was carved into a statue of a god.
It is still the one-body three-faced statue, with a ferocious ghost in the middle and two beauties with different looks on the side. Six arms stretched out from behind the statue, and each palm held countless gold, silver and jewels.
The treasures are shining brightly, and the statues are tall and majestic.
Looking from a distance, I just feel majestic, magnificent and ingenious.
