"Hehe! I'm sorry. With your meager strength, I could have defeated you in an honest way, but this time it's a matter of great importance. The Guardian will not allow any mistakes. Moreover, I am in a hurry..."
In the guest room of Yiqing Pavilion in Taiyuan Inn, the masked man in black sneered "Hey hey". He retreated to the door, opened the door, reached out and took out a lit incense stick from outside the door, and opened the door After closing the door, the masked man in black returned to the house. Seeing Tiedan's eyes showing confusion, the man in black explained:
"This is called the soul-breaking incense. The smell is extremely light and difficult to detect. Anyone who is exposed to this incense will be poisoned within half a quarter of an hour. When the poison is released, the body will be as soft as cotton and all the internal strength will be lost. Now, you are all They are a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered!”
"Pfft~!"
While speaking, the masked man in black first cut off half of the burned incense in his hand. Then, he thrust forward the long sword in his hand and stabbed Wang Tong's heart accurately!
In Wang Tong's current state, he was unable to dodge the sword of the man in black, so he could only watch the long sword pierce his chest. Under the influence of the soul-breaking incense, he couldn't even feel it at first. He could feel no pain at all, only when the sword was about to "touch" his heart, he could feel a throbbing and severe pain, but the next moment, all his consciousness completely dissipated!
Just as the masked man said, the four people in the room, Tiedan, Li Tai, Guo Jian, and Wang Tong, are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and the masked man in black is the butcher with a butcher knife. Facing this butcher, the "lambs" could only sit back and wait for death, without any ability to resist!
"Brother Wang!"
"Old Wang!"
Seeing Wang Tong being killed, Tiedan and Guo Jian's eyes were filled with anger. If eyes could kill, the man in black would have been split into countless pieces by their eyes!
"Hey! Don't worry, it's your turn soon~!"
The man in black laughed ferociously, then he pulled out the long sword from Wang Tong's chest and turned to look at Guo Jian, who was closer to him.
Facing death, Guo Jian showed no fear on his face. He had already stuck his saber on the ground to support his body from falling. When he saw the man in black walking towards him, he glared at the man in black with a look on his face. Full of disdain:
"No man in the Forbidden Army is... afraid of death! They are all upright men! We are not like... you bastard, betraying your own people, betraying your ancestors, and working for the bullshit Turks! While you are alive, there are countless people poking at your spine. If you die, there will be countless people digging your grave, so that you will never have peace!"
Because of the Broken Soul Incense, Guo Jian was very weak at the moment. He used strong willpower to resist the medicinal properties of Broken Soul Incense to prevent himself from falling into coma. His voice was very small, but every word he spoke was extremely clear. Extremely determined!
After going through so many things, most of the Imperial Guards knew that the people causing trouble in Taiyuan City recently were probably Turkic spies, so before he died, Guo Jiancai couldn't help but curse the man in black!
"you wanna die!!!"
Guo Jian's words completely angered the man in black. The man in black stared angrily. He stepped forward and slashed the long sword in his hand towards Guo Jian's neck like lightning!
"Brother Guo~!"
"Pfft~" There was a sound, blood spattered five steps, and a head rolled to the ground, falling exactly at Tie Dan's feet. Tie Dan staggered back two steps, with both grief and endless anger on his face. Even his body couldn't help but tremble at this moment, not with fear, but with rage from the bottom of his heart!
Seeing his companions being ruthlessly killed one by one by the men in black, the anger in Tiedan's heart has reached the extreme, but at this time, the anger is of no use, because not only can he not use any true energy in his body, but also You must also concentrate all your energy to resist the medicinal properties of the soul-breaking incense and keep yourself awake!
If there was no soul-breaking incense, even if he knew he was outmatched, Tiedan would definitely step forward with his sword and fight the man in black!
And if there was a one-on-one confrontation, Tiedan believed that he had no chance of winning. When Li Zexuan came back from Longhu Mountain, he was only in the late stage of Qi transformation, but he was able to defeat the advanced master with Taixuan Nine Swords and Taiji Swordsmanship. The Snake King has been around for many years, and as Li Zexuan's direct disciple, Tiedan believes that with his understanding of these two sets of swordsmanship, he still has a chance to confront the man in black head-on!
Because Taixuan Nine Swords and Taiji Swordsmanship are the supreme swordsmanship that can cross borders to fight enemies, and these two sets of swordsmanship are one for offense and one for defense. If they can be used skillfully, they can definitely achieve unexpected results!
It's a pity that there are not so many ifs in this world. The soul-breaking incense that the man in black lit before entering the guest room has strangled all the ifs and all the uncertain factors in the cradle!
This battle has no suspense now!
"Hmph! Little one, it's your turn next~!"
After dealing with Guo Jian, the man in black glanced at Tiedan, then raised his sword and walked towards Tiedan.
Tiedan raised his head and looked coldly at the oncoming man in black, "If you are a man, you can detoxify me, and then we can have an upright fight! You are a peak Qi transformation master, Don’t you even dare to challenge me, who is in the early stages of Qi transformation? If word spreads, won’t you be ridiculed by the world~?”
Although he may die soon, Tiedan still has not given up. He is still fighting for the last glimmer of hope. As long as the man in black is inspired by him and detoxifies him, he will try his best to win this life-and-death duel. In the end, If not, we have to delay it until their reinforcements arrive!
"Hey! Little one, you don't need to provoke me. I'm not a hero to begin with, and few people in the world recognize me. Let them laugh if they like! I said before that there is no room for mistakes in this mission, so I lit the soul-breaking incense in advance before entering the door, but I didn’t expect you guys to be so weak! Now that the matter has come to this, I won’t give you any more chances!”
Having said this, the man in black raised the long sword in his hand. Looking at Tiedan's stubborn and unyielding face, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "I have to say, Xiaowa, you are a good martial artist. , but you shouldn’t come to Taiyuan…”
Obviously, Tiedan had left a deep impression on the man in black in the previous fights. At such a young age, he not only had such martial arts skills, but also had such exquisite swordsmanship. The man in black felt that at this age, he was He definitely cannot reach Tiedan's level of strength. Although he has some love for talents, but... his mission for this trip must be completed, and no mistakes are allowed!
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black raised his sword and was about to slash Tiedan's neck with the long sword in his hand!
"Master, I'm sorry, Tiedan failed to complete the task you assigned me. Qingque and I may never see you again... Sister, dad, take care of yourself!"
Feeling the strong wind coming from above his head, Tiedan closed his eyes unwillingly. Facing death, he didn't have much fear in his heart at this moment. Many pictures appeared in his mind at this moment, many People and things, but the most important among them are Li Zexuan, Han Lizheng and Han Yuxi. The former is the person who changed his destiny, and the latter two are the most important family members in his life!
At this moment, Tiedan felt a lot of guilt in his heart. This time the academy sent teachers and students to Taiyuan and Yunzhou to build telegraph relay stations. He understood that the reason why he was on the list was not because of how good he was at building telegraph relay stations. The most important thing was It was his martial arts that was outstanding among the students of Yanhuang Academy. Li Zexuan arranged for him to go north mainly to protect Li Tai personally!
Now that the posthouse was attacked at night, he and Li Tai were both plotted against each other. He couldn't protect himself now. After the men in black killed him, Li Tai would definitely be in trouble!
So, to a certain extent, he failed his mission!
The long sword flew through the air rapidly, and the blood that had not yet dried on the sword was soaked from the bottom of the sword to the top of the sword in the process of swinging. The blade was getting closer and closer to Tiedan's neck. Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the room became surprisingly quiet!
If there were no accidents, the next moment, Tiedan's head would roll to the ground like Guo Jian did before!
"Stop... stop~!"
