The name of this village is Luoping, and it is not the first village that Li Ye and others explored, nor will it be the last.
Along the way, in the village ahead, Li Ye and the others have not been ambushed yet.
"You thieves, how brave you are, how dare you attack us!" A nobleman of the clan retreated and scolded angrily, "Do you know who we are? There are princes, princesses, and princes of the Tang Dynasty here. If you kill any of us, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, the imperial court's pursuers will destroy you!"
His roar did not make the attackers flinch, but instead attracted the attention of many people, and more people came to kill him, "Officer Dog, you are the ones who killed you!"
"Block them!" The clan leader suddenly panicked, and hurriedly greeted his followers.
At this moment, Li Ye grabbed Shangguan Qingcheng who was about to rush out, and shook his head slightly at her.
Li Ye's meaning was very clear, there was no need to fight, but to protect himself.
The assailants came fiercely, and more than 20 people had already rushed out, some of them were still hiding in the grass and did not show up.
No one knows how many masters there are.
Li Ye's cultivation level is not low, at least not low among the clan's elite, but looking at the whole cultivation world, it is not worth mentioning.
Wu You's cultivation level is higher than his. The entourages brought by the other clans are shouldering the important task of protecting them. They are almost all the strongest monks in each family, and there are many masters in the middle stage of Qi training.
Among the six nobles of the clan, Li Ye, as the prince of the imperial dynasty, has the most noble status, but his combination with Shangguan Qingcheng is the weakest among this group of people.
At this time, there is no need to be brave.
The attackers came out one after another, like bats coming out of a hole, attacking from everywhere.
In front of the Kuroshio, two attackers rushed to Li Ye, one from the left and the other from the right.
"Officer dog, go to hell!"
Li Ye saw their eyes, which were full of murderous eyes, cold and ruthless.
One person held a knife and slashed down straight down. When Li Ye raised his head, a white light flashed across the edge of the knife. It seemed that there was a scorching sun behind the knife—it really was a scorching sun. in a backlit position.
One person held a sword and stabbed at Li Ye's heart. His speed was extremely fast, and the sword was held very firmly. The sword body, arms, and eyes were in a straight line. Li Ye could only see the tip of the sword. It is a bright spot, and it is in front of you in an instant.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Shangguan Qingcheng was eager to protect his lord, so he raised his knife and rushed out.
She had seen Li Ye's cultivation before, and she knew that the other party's cultivation technique inherited from Yuan Tiangang was very sturdy, and it was an existence that even Li Yao could not stop.
But she had never seen Li Ye face to face with others.
Combat attacks and melee combat are completely different things.
In terms of danger and difficulty, the latter is even worse.
Shangguan Qingcheng has never seen Li Ye practice close combat skills with others, and close combat skills attach great importance to actual combat experience. Without rich fighting experience, fighting skills do not exist.
So Shangguan Qingcheng made the first move, protecting Li Ye behind him.
Even if she could tell at a glance that the two attackers had extraordinary skills, they were both monks in the Qi refining period, and their aura was thicker than hers, so they might have reached the second level of Qi training.
Shangguan Qingcheng was very surprised. The monks in the Qi refining period are not unknown characters anywhere. Among this group of attackers, they are also high-level fighters, but as soon as they met, there were two second-level Qi training, and they came straight to Li Ye. ——Li Ye's luck is too bad.
Shangguan Qingcheng didn't have time to think about it.
She drew a knife and met the knife-wielding attacker.
Her moves are clean and sharp, wide open and close, simple and direct, although there are not many changes, but the most important thing is that she is powerful and can kill with one blow. The military style is very obvious.
Her knife swept out, straight to the neck of the knife-wielding attacker.
The opponent's knife is cutting down, and her knife is sweeping out.
If the opponent doesn't withdraw the sword and return to defense, she will definitely cut off the opponent's neck.
But at the same time, she will be cut open in the head by the opponent.
This is a desperate move.
Shangguan Qingcheng's eyes are firm, she must work hard.
If she couldn't fight back with one blow, the knife attacker would have no time to deal with the sword attacker, and Li Ye would be in danger.
She is a military general on the battlefield, so close combat is no problem. She usually fights with soldiers in the barracks. But Li Ye is different. He is the body of a thousand gold.
The body of a thousand gold means that you have never been involved in danger, so you have no way to deal with it. Faced with close combat, not to mention whether you are proficient in fighting books, you will panic at first.
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
No matter how simple this principle is, soldiers in the army may not panic when shooting bows and arrows, but fighting with knives will definitely be frightening at first.
Shangguan Qingcheng must take care of Li Ye immediately, she can't put Li Ye in danger, not at all.
Her knife swept out, but the knife-wielding attacker did not retract the knife.
Shangguan Qingcheng's eyes froze.
The vertical knife cut down a dazzling light.
The sweeping knife swept across a bright arc.
Shangguan Qingcheng knew that she was going to die soon.
She didn't expect that the other party was such a desperado, willing to risk his life.
The other party's cultivation base is higher than hers, and his status in the cultivation world is also higher than hers. The other party is willing to give up himself and trade her life for this loss-making business!
Shangguan Qingcheng was shocked and puzzled.
But her shock and bewilderment dissipated in an instant, replaced by ice cold all over her body, like falling into an ice cave!
The opponent's target is Li Ye!
If she died, Li Ye would have no one to protect her!
With no experience in close combat, how could he survive the sword-wielding attacker
Li Ye, who was still at the second level of qi training when he joined Prince Jue, had no experience in close combat, how could he survive a close-up surprise attack by a second-level qi training monk who was willing to risk his life
Shangguan Qingcheng regretted and blamed himself to the extreme in an instant.
The group of attackers in front of them, this group of thieves, scolded "dog officials" when they came out, which clearly meant that they were very hostile to court officials and nobles.
This is a group of anti-imperial monks!
So they did not hesitate to exchange their lives for the lives of the prince, princess, and prince!
Many thoughts flashed through Shangguan Qingcheng's mind, and only in a split second, when he was about to die, Shangguan Qingcheng let out a roar of grief, remorse, resignation, and incomparable remembrance. There was even a cry in that roar: " Your Highness!"
The two blade lights of the vertical cut and the sweep tore apart the air and shattered the time. They never met, but just rushed to their respective destinations.
"Dang" sounded.
Crisp and abrupt!
Shangguan Qingcheng's eyes widened.
The knife that fell an inch in front of her forehead was sharp and dazzling, and the wind of the knife made his blue hair tremble.
But can no longer advance half a point.
Because the knife was already supported by a sword.
The sword is engraved with runes and engraved with dragon patterns, and its name is Lu Gu.
The person holding the sword is Li Ye.
"Pfft!"
The vertical knife has come to a standstill, and the sweeping knife has passed a complete arc.
The horizontal knife in Shangguan Qingcheng's hand cut off the attacker's neck and chopped off his head.
At this moment, Shangguan Qingcheng's heartbeat seemed to have stopped, but in an instant, it vibrated violently like a war drum, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
Her unreasonably white face became even whiter, so white that it was transparent.
She felt that her body was pulled aside suddenly but not violently by a powerful hand, and then she saw Lu Gujian passing by in front of her eyes, and a green glow flew up, like the morning sun after the rain, peony flowers Butterflies flapping colorful wings on the sky amazed the time.
Shangguan Qingcheng turned around uncontrollably, the change came so suddenly, she hadn't recovered from the shock, she couldn't deal with it at all, she felt that her footsteps were a little floating, as if she had left the ground, she saw The sky was white and cloudy, passing by like water under the dazzling sunlight. She saw the green mountains and green water unfold like a scroll, and when a group of armed monks broke in suddenly, it stopped abruptly.
When her gaze regained a stable focus, a blood mist bloomed in front of her eyes like a lotus flower, and she also saw a sword stop two inches in front of her, trembled and fell to the ground, she recognized the sword , that was the sword that stabbed at Li Ye, and was later greeted by her body.
Shangguan Qingcheng finally fully saw the scene in front of him. The attacker who stabbed with the sword had already been cut by Lu Gujian's neck, and blood spurted out continuously. The swordsman dropped the sword in his hand and fell to the ground clutching his neck. struggle.
She was surprised, puzzled, surprised and extremely happy, because the enemy was dead, at least she could be sure that Li Ye was not injured.
At this time, she saw Li Ye's side face, standing with a sword in his hand, Li Ye calmly faced the follow-up attackers, he still had the same expression that seemed to be forever calm, with no waves on his sharp face , only those eyes are bottomless.
"Are you okay?" Li Ye's voice broke into Shangguan Qingcheng's ears. She saw that he didn't lower his head, but kept looking forward, but he tilted his head slightly, as if he could hear her breath from her breathing. Is there anything unusual.
"It's okay... Your Highness..." Shangguan Qingcheng suddenly realized that she was hugged by Li Ye lazily by his side, and her whole body was attached to him, like a koala hugging a tree trunk Suddenly, she was extremely frightened, and hurriedly jumped away from Li Ye, her face as fair as a cloud suddenly turned red like a sunset glow, and she was so charming.
Then she saw that an assailant took the opportunity to kill Li Ye, and stabbed Li Ye's throat with a sword. The distance between Youhu and the throat was less than three inches. Shangguan Qingcheng's eyes suddenly widened, and it was too late to strike.
She saw Li Ye tilting his head, avoiding the point of the sword by a tiny margin, a strand of hair was cut off, and fell like a dandelion.
And Li Ye's Lu Gujian was already upside down in his hand at some point, and the blade swept up from bottom to top, blocking the opponent's long sword at this moment. , slid down the opponent's long sword, like a breeze blowing on the face, and passed the opponent's throat before the clouds could dissipate.
His movements are clean and smooth, without a single bit of excess, let alone stagnation, his footsteps, body skills, combined with his sword, killing with one blow, everything seems so natural, as if everything should be like this, It actually gives people a pleasing look and feel.
Shangguan Qingcheng's heart was shaken, she still couldn't see it, it was an artistic conception that could only appear when the fighting technique was cultivated to the master level.
How could Li Ye have such superb close combat skills? When did he practice it? Is this also Yuan Tiangang's inheritance
Shangguan Qingcheng's heart was agitated, and too many questions flashed in her mind, but she did not forget her duty, the instinct of a guard and a general made her run out with the sword in hand when Li Ye Lu Gu's sword fell, and met the assassin. Follow-up attackers.
This time, there were three attackers who rushed to Li Ye's body.
"The thieves will die!" Shangguan Qingcheng didn't want Li Ye to put herself in danger again, she was determined to share Li Ye's worries, so she gave a low voice to attract the other's attention.
However, before Shangguan Qingcheng ran in front of the opponent, three streamers of colorful light flashed in front of his eyes, accurately hitting the three attackers who rushed towards Li Ye, and bursts of blood mist burst out in front of the opponent's chest, killing the three attackers. The three of them flew out in unison, fell down in the crowd without making a sound, they didn't even have time to let out a scream.
At the same time, a scolding voice sounded, and a magpie-like figure had come to Li Ye's side: "Brother Ye, I'll help you!"
