The sword was very ordinary, like a sword dropped on the ground.
What's even more strange is that there is no one behind Xing Qingsui, it is empty, except for some swords inserted in the rocks.
Xing Qingsui's dark face turned a little pale, with an extremely painful expression. His lips were trembling slightly, and his hands were firmly supporting the ground.
Got stabbed from behind? !
What came out was not a scream like "Ah!", but just the word "you...". From this, it can be seen that Xing Qingsui's endurance is absolutely extraordinary.
But why does Xing Qingsui have a sword on his chest
and…
Why can't he see his attacker
The most important thing is, who are you that Xing Qing casually mentioned
Questions flashed through everyone's minds, and everyone's eyes were attracted by this strange scene. For a moment, everyone was guessing who was the person who attacked Xing Qingsui
Fang Zhengzheng was not too surprised.
After all, he has never understood the world very well. It would be too nerve-wracking to have to get to the bottom of everything and find a scientific explanation.
Therefore, when he encountered something he couldn't understand, he was just curious, not surprised.
Such thoughts made his attention not immediately focus on who stabbed the sword, but on why the sword was so ordinary
You know, this is the imperial examination.
How can someone who can take part in the imperial examination not have a decent weapon
As a result, his attention was somewhat distracted. He was wondering if the sword was the sword originally inserted in the rock? Such thoughts made him discover an amazing scene.
He found many swords, many slowly drawn from the ground.
It was like invisible hands pulling out the swords on the ground, making a slight grinding sound.
However, everyone else's attention was obviously on Xing Qingsui. No one noticed that there was also a sword behind him.
In other words, there is a sword behind everyone.
"Yan Xiu!" Fang Zhengzheng rushed towards Yan Xiu beside him without hesitation.
He didn't even need to look back to know that there must be a sword behind him. Then, naturally he won't stand there waiting to be fucked.
Yan Xiu was looking at Xing Qingsui at this moment. There was a kind of doubtful speculation in his eyes.
Suddenly I heard Fang Zhengzheng's words.
Before he could turn his head, he felt a force hit him, and then his body fell towards the ground.
Subconsciously, he wanted to break away.
However, he gave up in an instant.
Because what he heard was Fang Zhengzheng's voice, and the person standing next to him was also Fang Zhengzheng.
Although he didn't know why Fang Zhengzheng suddenly pounced on him.
But he still chose not to resist.
"Plop!" The two fell to the ground together.
And at this time. Two swishing sounds sounded close to their scalps.
This is not over.
When these two swishing sounds rang through the air, there was the sound of sharp swords piercing into their bodies, and with an icy chill, they penetrated deeply into their chests.
Just like Xing Qingsui, they were all stabbed from behind.
"ah!"
"Ahh..."
There were painful screams.
Not everyone has the same endurance as Xing Qingsui, so naturally there are tragic voices, echoing in this world of swords...
"The sword... the sword is attacking us!"
"The world of Shengtian has really lost control!"
"Run quickly."
The tragic sounds were also mixed with screams.
Not all candidates who were able to survive to the third round of the martial arts test were unaware of their vigilance, although some were successfully attacked from behind by swords. But there are still some people who are lucky enough to escape this disaster.
The scene seemed completely out of control for a moment.
"Who dares to sneak attack on this princess if they don't want to live?!" An arrogant voice sounded among the screams, obviously. Pingyang did not escape this fate.
The majestic Princess Pingyang, Her Royal Highness is regarded as the jewel in the eye of the Holy Emperor.
Was he attacked from behind during a martial arts test
Moreover, this sneak attack was a fatal sneak attack.
How can she not be angry
However, Pingyang's angry voice at this time made people more confident about their previous guesses, because no candidate dared to do this.
There is only one explanation, and that is that Shengtian World is actively attacking.
Fang Zhengzheng originally had such an idea, but after the idea came up, it was quickly rejected.
because. He thought of the sound Xing Qing made when the sword was stabbed into his back.
What Xing Qing said was "you..."
Rather.
As the first person to be attacked, Xing Qingsui naturally had a say.
And in fact. Xing Qingsui's next actions further proved all this.
Xing Qing followed suit.
In such a serious injury situation, he still stubbornly held the meteor black sword in his hand. He stabbed the seemingly frail middle-aged man next to him.
With a sharp sound of wind.
"Ding!" A sword pulled out from the ground blocked the front of Xing Qingsui's meteor black sword.
Then it is naturally impossible for this sword to actually hit.
The middle-aged man easily dodged Xing Qingsui's blow.
In other words, he never slacked on Xing Qingsui from the beginning to the end, even though Xing Qingsui had been pierced by a sword.
"Master, why are you like this?" The middle-aged man looked at Xing Qingsui in surprise.
"Ahem... this... shouldn't I be asking you this? Who... are you?" Xing Qingsui bit his lips tightly, and the sword in his hand had dropped.
His hands were shaking.
The hand that had always held the sword as steady as a mountain trembled for the first time.
Maybe it was because of excitement, maybe because the injury was too serious.
There was a smile on the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth. His eyes quietly scanned the seriously injured candidates around him, and finally returned to Xing Qingsui.
"Master, don't you even remember my name? I am your most loyal guard. I saved you from the battlefield three years ago. My name is Xing Zhong. Isn't this name given to me by the master? ?" The middle-aged man looked at Xing Qingsui.
"Three years ago..." Xing Qingsui's expression flashed with confusion.
The middle-aged man was right. Three years ago, he was seriously injured on the battlefield and was surrounded by a demon army of a thousand people on an isolated mountain.
In order to break through. He spent all his energy.
Eventually fell into coma.
After he woke up, he was only surrounded by the middle-aged man in front of him.
Same with him. The middle-aged man also fell into a coma, and there was an almost fatal sword on his neck.
If the rescue team hadn't arrived in time, neither of them would have escaped death.
At this point, Xing Qing asked Xinghou to name the middle-aged man in front of him Xing, and became his most loyal guard, teaching the Xing family's secrets. For three years, he never left him.
Together with him, he made great achievements on the battlefield.
"You are not Xing Zhong. Three years ago... Xing Zhong died. Who are you?" Xing Qingsui's eyes suddenly became extremely certain.
Because he has investigated Xing Zhong's identity, there can be no problem.
Then the person with the problem is naturally not Xing Zhong.
"Master, is it too late to ask this question now?" The middle-aged man looked at Xing Qingsui with a smile, and there was a sword in front of Xing Qingsui, and the tip of the sword was pointed at Xing Qingsui. 's throat.
All the seriously injured and not seriously injured candidates naturally saw this scene.
Judging from the conversation between the two just now.
Although they didn't quite understand what they were talking about.
But one thing they were sure of was that Xing Qingsui seemed to have determined that the middle-aged man was the culprit of the sneak attack, and the most important thing was. The sword flying in the air just proves this point.
"who is he?!"
"Why did Xing Qingsui's guard draw his sword and aim at Xing Qingsui?"
"It turns out he attacked us secretly."
Questions mixed with explanations.
But now is obviously not the time to discuss these issues, so. The candidates who were not seriously injured began to point the tips of their swords at the middle-aged man.
There were even three candidates who took action against the middle-aged man.
Three swords, with a little bit of brilliance, two stabbed at the middle-aged man, and one stabbed at the sword hanging in the air.
This seems to be the best rescue method in the current situation.
But unfortunately, the sword that stabbed Xing Qingsui's throat had already moved, as fast as lightning. Compared with the three swords, it was not even a fraction of a second faster.
Xing Qingsui looked at the sword without closing his eyes.
Close your eyes. That's the behavior of a coward, and he certainly won't do it. The dignified son of the Zhenguofu died with his eyes open to see how he would die. This is the fearlessness in my heart.
As for why Xing Qingsui didn't block it
It was because his hands were shaking. How could he still lift the sword when his hands were shaking
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
Two crisp sounds sounded.
The sword that stabbed Xing Qingsui fell to the ground, and there was another sword that fell to the ground together with that sword, a sword that was as green as jade.
In addition, a sword also fell to the ground.
But it is obviously far away from Xingqingsui.
The sword was a dark blue sword, longer than the green sword.
There was no sword in the middle-aged man's hand, only a knife, a shining knife. There was no decoration on the knife, but it had a faint smell of blood, and it was a knife stained with blood.
"Oh?" The middle-aged man turned his gaze to the right.
The dark blue sword just now was naturally aimed at him, but the person who threw away the sword was not the three candidates who rushed towards him, but a young man standing on his right.
He was wearing a short shirt that was a little too ordinary, but his eyes were very calm.
This young man is Nangong Mu.
"It's the blue double swords!"
"The Nangong family's blue and blue swords are actually on Nangong Mu's body? Could it be that he practices the Blue and Blue Jue?!"
"Oh my God, is there really anyone in this world who can practice Qinglan Jue?"
When the candidates saw the two swords falling on the ground, they were all surprised. The feeling was even more frightening than seeing the middle-aged man sneak attack.
And the reason…
But it was just because Nangong Mu practiced Qinglan Jue.
The other three candidates were naturally stopped. Without too many surprises, there were three swords blocking them in front of them.
"Nangong Hao is extremely talented. I thought his brother would be smarter, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid?" The middle-aged man looked at Nangong Mu, and the smile on his lips seemed to be even bigger.
"Yes." Nangong Mu nodded.
There was no hesitation at all, just like a normal conversation, and there was no trace of anger because of the middle-aged man's words.
This made the candidates around me a little confused.
Why was Nangong Mu so tolerant in the face of the middle-aged man's insults
"You don't seem to be good at talking?" The middle-aged man was somewhat surprised by Nangong Mu's reaction.
Naturally, he would not naively think that Nangong Mu would be afraid of him because of Nangong Mu's attitude. If he was really afraid, it would be impossible to draw the sword just now, and it would be impossible to be afraid if the sword is drawn.
"You can use your shadow to control the sword on the ground, and you can also deliberately hide the shadow under the ground. This kind of control is really amazing. Unfortunately, you are not human!" Nangong Mu did not answer the middle-aged man's words, but He said as if talking to himself.
"Although he is not good at talking, his observation skills are meticulous. However, what I don't quite understand is why you are so sure that I am not a human being?" The middle-aged man's smile remained unchanged.
"People who can have this kind of control cannot do it in the Amaterasu realm. And counting the masters above the Amaterasu realm, there are a total of thirty-nine people who are good at controlling shadows. Among these thirty-nine people, there is no one like you. , then you are naturally not a human being. If my guess is correct, there is a person among the demons who has a fighting style similar to yours. His name is Yingshan." Nangong Mu looked extremely calm.
However, after hearing Nangong Mu's last word "Shadow Mountain", the smile on the middle-aged man's face suddenly froze, and surprise appeared in his eyes for the first time.
What surprised him was not Nangong Mu's strength, but Nangong Mu's ability to guess a person's identity based on his moves. This kind of observation and erudition was absolutely terrifying.
"Remember it so clearly? Of course it can't be a lie... After the Nangong family retired, they still liked to record some deeds. Unfortunately, you are going to die." The middle-aged man did not deny Nangong Mu's words.
So…
In some ways, he already acquiesced.
The candidates around them all subconsciously took a step back, with expressions of complete horror on their faces.
If what Nangong Mu said is true.
Then, this is really too scary.
Because there is only one person named Kageyama among the demon clan, and that person is the deputy capital of the shadow domain among the ten domains of the demon clan, Kageyama.
"How is this possible?!"
"How could the demon clan send a deputy capital officer to the imperial examination?"
"No, I don't want to die yet."
All the candidates felt a sense of collapse. In front of Kageyama, they had no possibility of resistance.
Because that is an existence beyond the Amaterasu realm.
"Is Yingshan... very powerful?" Fang Zhengzheng got up from the ground and asked Yan Xiu who also got up.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive!" Yan Xiu nodded.
For the first time, Yan Xiu used the word "difficult to survive" to describe the danger of something, and it was still at this time. (To be continued.)
