"You are not that special. It's easy to leave without giving away!"
"Qiang!"
The dark blade cut through the airflow and slashed mercilessly towards Xiao Yi's throat.
Three wins out of five games, the power of the underworld tiger shakes the giant elephant.
The cold sword touched Xiao Yi's neck, and the opponent's skin instantly opened, and a wisp of red blood quietly flew...
But just before Xiao Yi's head was about to fly away from his neck...
"Bang!"
A violent and chaotic energy wave suddenly exploded between Xiao Nuo and Xiao Yi.
Everyone's hearts trembled when they saw a middle-aged figure wearing dark armor and with an aura as cold as a mountain standing in front of Xiao Nuo. .??.
He wears a black-gold claw gauntlet on his left hand.
The claw sleeve is shaped like a dragon's claw, and it resists the black magic knife in Xiao Nuo's hand.
"Please show mercy..."
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
The Piaomiao Sect, Tiangang Sword Sect, and a group of people from Holy Tree City felt that their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.
The person who took action was none other than Yan Xiu, the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion.
At this moment, the magic knife in Xiao Nuo's hand had cut into the skin of Xiao Yi's neck, and blood was flowing out.
If Yan Xiu had been even half a step slower, the opponent's head would have been separated from his body.
"It seems that the City Lord's Mansion is not as fair as imagined..." Xiao Nuo looked into Yan Xiu's deep eyes without fear.
The other party's eyes are like an eagle, restrained yet revealing.
But even so, Xiao Nuo was not afraid at all.
Yan Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately replied, "This person is a newly promoted first-class disciple of the Tiangang Sword Sect. If he dies in the City Lord's Mansion, we will not be able to explain to the Sword Sect. I hope you...understand!"
Upon hearing this, several people in the Piaomiao Sect camp looked at each other, and Ouyang Rong said, "Xiao, Junior Brother Xiao Nuo..."
Ouyang Rong wanted to say something, but she hesitated.
Even the word "Junior Brother" is a bit awkward to say.
Mu Yue'er looked sideways at Xiang Dongliu who was lying on the ground not far away. Although the latter's face was filled with hatred, he still nodded helplessly.
Mu Yue'er understood what Xiang Dongliu meant.
She quickly stepped forward and said to Xiao Nuo, "It'll be fine if we win."
After all, Xiang Dongliu has stayed in Holy Tree City for such a long time, and he knows the stakes involved.
If a first-level disciple is killed, the Tiangang Sword Sect will never give up. When the time comes, it will be difficult for the City Lord's Mansion to explain.
And since the Piaomiao Sect wants to form an alliance with the Holy Tree City, it should retreat on this matter.
After all, if Holy Tree City is difficult to build, it will also have an impact on the alliance between the two parties.
Xiao Nuo held the magic knife tightly in his hand, and the cold and vicious aura in the blade made Xiao Yi's face become even more ugly.
He stared at Xiao Nuo fiercely, his previous arrogance and pride were no longer there, only viciousness remained.
"Did we win?" Xiao Nuo looked back at Yan Xiu.
"Yes!" Yan Xiu nodded.
Xiao Nuo said again, "According to the previous agreement, Piaomiao Sect will become the only ally of Holy Tree City, and the City Lord's Palace will grant us some management rights."
Yan Xiu raised his eyes slightly and said calmly, "Tonight, the city lord and I will discuss this matter, and I will give you a satisfactory answer then."
"Junior Brother Xiao, it's okay. Senior Brother Xiang and Senior Brother Yun Zhou need to be treated quickly." Mu Yuer'er said a little anxiously.
The Piaomiao Sect's group was not worried that the City Lord's Mansion would go back on its promise. After all, everyone had witnessed today's victory or defeat.
"The combatants on both sides of you are seriously injured. They will recuperate in the house tonight. I will arrange for medical doctors to go there..."
Yan Xiu said.
Now that the words have reached this point, Xiao Nuo also knows that Yan Xiu must protect Xiao Yi's life.
In addition, Xiang Dongliu and Yun Zhou's injuries may be life-threatening if they continue. After a moment's hesitation, the sharp light in Xiao Nuo's eyes weakened, and the magic knife on Xiao Yi's neck was slowly withdrawn.
"Three years ago, you were inferior to me. Three years later, you are still my defeated enemy. If someone hadn't taken action, you would be no different from Xiao Burang and Xiao Duo right now."
"Hmph!" Faced with Xiao Nuo's ridicule, Xiao Yi looked gloomy and sneered, "I was careless and gave you a chance to win. It's hard to say who will win and who will lose next time."
"The words of the incompetent are harsh!"
After saying that, Xiao Nuo put away his sword, turned around, and walked towards the Piaomiao Sect group behind him.
Xiao Yi's face was as cold as frost, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.
He secretly thought, "Next time, it will be me who wins!"
…
The game ended with the two sides fighting to three to two.
With Xiao Nuo's efforts to turn the tide, the Piaomiao Sect successfully won this victory.
Although Xiao refused to give in, Xiao Duo was beheaded by Xiao Nuo, but Xiang Dongliu and Yun Zhou were also severely injured.
After the battle, the Lord of Yanbeishan City also immediately sent the injured people for treatment.
The leaders of the major families in Holy Tree City left the City Lord's Mansion one after another.
The west courtyard of the city lord's mansion.
In a spacious and bright wing.
Xiang Dongliu's upper body was covered with thick bandages, and his spine was severed. It was very difficult to treat him. Even if the bleeding was stopped immediately, it was still unknown whether he would be able to move freely like a normal person in the future.
On the bed next to him, Yun Zhou's face turned ashen.
Although his injuries were not as serious as Xiang Dongliu's, his Dantian was crippled and all his cultivation was lost.
If you are lucky, the Dantian will gradually recover, and there may be a chance to start over again.
If you are unlucky, you will not be able to practice for the rest of your life.
"Senior Brother Yunzhou, your Dantian has a chance to recover. You can waste a few years at most and you can continue to practice in the future..."
Seeing that the other party was so lonely, Mu Yue'er couldn't help but comfort him.
"Yes, Yun Zhou..." His friend Li Chen also said, "We won this duel, which is a great achievement. When you go back, ask the third elder to give you medicine, and you will definitely get better."
Yun Zhou's eyes shone slightly with hope.
Then he turned his attention to the door.
I saw a young figure walking in from outside, it was Shi Mu.
"I have informed the sect that this mission has been successfully completed. It is estimated that the sect will send someone to hand over this evening..."
As soon as Shi Mu said these words, the atmosphere that had been a little warm just now became inexplicably cold.
Li Chen, Mu Yue'er, and Ouyang Rong all looked at Shi Mu with cold eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Shi Mu asked slightly dissatisfied.
"Perfect?" Ouyang Rong mocked, "Where is it perfect? Is it that Yun Zhou and Dong Liu's injuries are too light, so they are perfect? Or is it that you, Shi Mu, are too brave, piercing three and defeating the Tiangang Sword Sect, so you are perfect?"
"What do you mean by that?" Shi Mu's face also turned blue.
"What do you mean? As the commander of the team and the head of the tactical execution, you were frightened by the Tiangang Sword Sect in public to the point where your legs were shaking. How dare you tell the sect that the mission was successfully completed? If it weren't for Junior Brother Xiao Nuo
If we were here, I can't even imagine how we would leave Holy Tree City..."
Ouyang Rong opened her mouth and cursed, venting her anger and dissatisfaction.
Shi Mu sneered, pointed at Ouyang Rong's nose and said, "What kind of good thing do you think you are? Now you are calling 'Junior Brother Xiao Nuo', who is the person who proposed not to let him participate in this mission?"
"It's me!" Ouyang Rong admitted generously, she said, "I admit this mistake. But I will not be trembling with fear and losing face by the people of Tiangang Sword Sect!"
"Stop arguing..." Mu Yue'er yelled at the two of them, "Stop blaming each other. Senior Brother Xiang and Senior Brother Yun Zhou still need to rest."
Xiang Dongliu and Yun Zhou didn't even want to say anything.
Especially Xiang Dongliu, he was extremely disappointed with Shi Mu. During the battlefield, he accused Shi Mu of being inferior to a woman.
If Xiao Nuo didn't take action this time, the third person who would fall in a pool of blood would be Mu Yue'er.
"Huh!" Ouyang Rong's face turned pale, she crossed her arms in front of her and said coldly, "I do look down on the people in Nirvana Palace. I still think Nirvana Palace is a shame to our Miao Miao Sect. But what you Shi Mu did today,
It’s even more contemptible.”
Shi Mu laughed angrily, "Where are you going? The person who won the Tiangang Sword Sect is not Ouyang Rong, so why are you dictating to me here?"
"That's enough!" Mu Yue'er almost cried in anger, "Can't you just let us be quiet for a while?"
"Hmph, be quiet. Go and be quiet yourself."
After that, Shi Mu waved his hand and walked outside without looking back.
"Senior Brother Shi Mu, where are you going..." Mu Yuer asked.
Shi Mu ignored him and left the place angrily.
Next room.
Although the doors and windows were closed, the sound of the quarrel just now still reached Xiao Nuo's ears.
However, Xiao Nuo didn't have too many mood swings. At this moment, he was sitting on the training table in the room, adjusting his inner breath.
In today's battle, Xiao Nuo completed one through three with a domineering and arrogant attitude. While defending the dignity of the Nirvana Palace, he also further completed his revenge on the Xiao family.
However, Xiao Nuo was not uninjured at all.
The cultivation levels of Xiao Burang, Xiao Duo and Xiao Yi all surpassed Xiao Nuo.
Especially Xiao Yi, who possesses the Jade Elephant Sword Body. The combination of this physique, sword energy and strength creates an extraordinary attack.
If Xiao Nuo's physical body hadn't been strong enough, he would have been defeated today.
Although Xiao Nuo's trauma was not obvious, it was still damaged.
"call!"
Xiao Nuo let out a deep breath and said secretly, "Xiao Yi's strength is not weak. If I hadn't cultivated the 'Bronze Ancient Body', this battle would have been extremely difficult."
It has to be said that the other party has grown extremely rapidly in the past three years.
Ridicule is ridicule, it is an indisputable fact that the Xiao family is becoming stronger and stronger with the support of Tiangang Sword Sect.
"The conflict between me and the Tiangang Sword Sect has become more and more serious.
It's getting deeper and deeper, and the hatred between me and the Xiao family is getting bigger and bigger... I need to become stronger!"
Xiao Nuo's eyes narrowed slightly and he said secretly.
By the time Xiao Nuo finished adjusting his breath, it was almost dark outside.
"Giggle..." At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Then, Mu Yue'er's voice came from outside: "Xiao Nuo, have you rested?"
"Creak!"
Afterwards, the door opened and Mu Yue'er stood outside.
She holds a letter in her hand.
"This was sent over by the guard guarding the gate of the City Lord's Mansion just now. He said it was for you."
"Huh?" Xiao Nuo was a little surprised. "For me?"
"That's right!" Mu Yue'er was also very confused. In this Holy Tree City, there are actually some acquaintances of Xiao Nuo?
Xiao Nuo received the letter but did not open it immediately.
"Has the sect responded to the message?" he asked.
Mu Yue'er nodded, "Tonight the third elder will send someone to take over the handover. According to the agreement, the Lord of Yanbeishan City will make plans for the Holy Tree City, and then allocate part of the management rights to the Piaomiao Sect..."
"Um!"
Xiao Nuo nodded slightly and then opened the letter.
There are only a few simple words on it.
“Tianxiang Restaurant!”
There are three beautiful little characters at the bottom, Gongsunqing.
Xiao Nuo didn't have too many surprises. After all, apart from those from the Xiao family, the only person he knew was Gongsun Qing, the vice president of Wanjin Chamber of Commerce.
And I also owe Gongsun Qing a big favor!
"I'm going out!" Xiao Nuo said to Mu Yue'er.
"Who is looking for you?" Mu Yue'er became even more curious.
"a friend!"
Xiao Nuo didn't explain much, and then left the place, leaving behind a speechless Mu Yue'er.
The sky is getting dark!
The fiery red sunset slowly recedes!
A layer of gray shadow silently enveloped the City Lord's Mansion.
Just as Xiao Nuo was about to go to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, he suddenly paused.
"Huh?" Xiao Nuo's eyes squinted slightly, looking at a long corridor behind.
Behind a certain stone pillar in the corridor, there seemed to be a dark shadow shrinking.
Xiao Nuo hesitated for a moment and then ignored it.
After a while, a pair of big, faint eyes poked out from behind the stone pillar.
Soon, Xiao Nuo walked to the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion, less than 500 meters away from the gate...
At this time, behind Xiao Nuo there was once again a sneaky shadow running into the darkness.
"Who?" Xiao Nuo turned around and asked.
The other party didn't answer.
Xiao Nuo could clearly see a group of shadows huddled behind a rockery, but the other party did not speak.
"Why are you following me?" Xiao Nuo asked as he walked towards that direction.
The other party still had no intention of responding.
After that, Xiao Nuo stopped when he was less than one meter away from the rockery. He thought about going to Gongsun Qing's appointment. After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Nuo turned around and walked away...
But just a few steps after Xiao Nuo walked out, the corner of his clothes was suddenly pulled by something from behind.
