The trail is very narrow, so it's better to call it a road than a hillside with a place to stay.
The ancient branches are lush and intertwined. The vibration of the tree affects the surrounding areas, and more frost and snow fall down.
Frost and snow not only attack the body, but more importantly, the feet.
A large amount of snowballs roll down, which can easily cause your body to become unstable in a short period of time, causing you to be washed away and fall down.
This is the time when a person's ability to adapt to stress is most tested.
But no matter how strong the adaptability is, besides Shuang Xue, there is also the opponent Xia Zhaoxue.
After Shen Lie stabilized his body, the opponent rushed down, reached out and grabbed him very quickly.
Shen Lie stepped back to the right and stepped on the sliding frost and snow. However, when he fell, he did not think about how to protect himself and reduce the maximum damage. Instead, he swept towards the opponent with his long legs with the ferocity of sharing the same fate.
Xia Zhaoxue avoided the attack with a single step, but the opponent's speed was too fast. He was inevitably hasty when avoiding it, and his body was also unstable, and he lost the best opportunity to attack the opponent.
Shen Lie fell heavily to the ground. Fortunately, the road was narrow and he did not fall directly down the hillside. He quickly got up, and the opponent had attacked again.
Every move is a fatal attack, without too many tricks, with smooth flow and agility, like the most clean and crisp attack on the battlefield.
Shen Lie counterattacked with every move and kept retreating towards the other side of the hillside. The opponent was extremely powerful, no matter punching, chopping, or grappling, he was fierce and swift, without hesitation. This was the first time that Shen Lie felt so strenuous in a single fight.
Xia Zhaoxue did not expect that a small soldier would be so difficult to deal with. His fierce attacks were all broken by the opponent. This not only required strong prediction ability, but also super strong skills to support this prediction.
Another elbow strike was blocked by the opponent, and then Xia Zhaoxue punched the opponent in the chest.
It wasn't a very tricky angle, and he could completely avoid it with the opponent's skill. However, this little soldier didn't. Instead, he stepped forward and received the punch with his chest. At the same time, he waved his fist and adjusted it as quickly as possible. Come here, turn from passive to active.
With the same fast attack, punches like the wind, and fierce moves, Xia Zhaoxue did not give in on defense and continued to maintain his fast attacks.
The two of them were fighting head-on, both unwilling to admit defeat. Whoever relaxed a little would be at a disadvantage. They were like two beasts meeting on a narrow road. Each move was full of power and killing intent. They had to do it as quickly as possible. Get rid of the opponent here.
The ancient trees in the forest dropped chunks of snow due to their fight. At the same time, the wind and snow became stronger and stronger. After dozens of moves, a huge piece of snow five feet wide suddenly fell from the sky.
The two of them hurriedly retreated, but were still hit by the heavy snow, and were almost buried in the snow.
At the same time, he climbed out of the snow in disgrace. The dry snow choked his throat and made him cough uncomfortably.
Shen Lie sat on the ground, raised his hand to touch the bridge of his handsome nose, raised his eyes and looked towards the opposite side, his eyes as sharp as a wolf.
Xia Zhaoxue also choked and felt uncomfortable. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the young soldier. At the same time, he adjusted his breathing as quickly as possible and prepared to attack again.
My clothes were stolen. Shen Lie gasped and said.
Xia Zhao learned a lesson.
"I am not a soldier of the imperial court," Shen Lie continued, "is the person you want to attack wearing my clothes, or a passerby?"
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
We'll fight when we meet. Have you given me a chance?
Xia Zhaoxue nodded. Although he was still vigilant, the murderous aura in his body finally dissipated a little, and the muscles around his body were no longer tense.
Good skills. Xia Zhaoxue said.
If he hadn't struck first and seriously injured the opponent first, he felt that he would not be a match for this young man at all.
Not only because he had been idle for more than a year, but he might not have been able to beat this boy even three or four years ago. The fierceness in the opponent's body, as well as the speed and power of his punches and palms, Xia Zhaoxue had only been in one before. I have seen in person that the only cavalry lieutenant of the Li family whose surname is not Li is also the current imperial chariot captain, Bao Suwei.
Who are you? Shen Lie asked.
Hundreds of friends, hundreds of people, friends of friends.
Xia Shen Lie almost blurted out.
Xia Zhaoxue raised his thick eyebrows slightly.
Shen Lie paused slightly to realize what he had said.
Who are you? Xia Zhaoxue asked.
Shen Lie. Shen Lie said directly.
It was Xia Zhaoxue's turn to pause and said blankly: Are you Shen Lie?
At the same time, he looked at Shen Lie again. In the morning light, the young man's facial features were exquisite, his proportions were excellent, and his temperament was cold and arrogant. He had both the frivolity of youth and the restraint and stability of a noble family.
His appearance is indeed consistent with the rumored sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and the handsome Shen Lie, but his temperament, if I remember correctly, the rumors about him, including what Fang Guanyan said, are that he has always been a sick man hiding in the house, uneducated and incompetent. Shu, a playful and playful young man.
Shen Lie also looked at him and was slightly curious about his identity, but he guessed that the other person used a fake name. Since he gave a fake name and identity, he had nothing to ask further.
Shen Lie got up from the ground, patted the frost and snow on his body, and said: If you want to go down to look for someone, now is not the time.
You just came up from below, do you know what happened last night?
They were driven back down the mountain. Shen Lie replied.
Rush back? Xia Zhaoxue was surprised.
Well, there is an expert on the mountain who can intimidate the emperor.
Xia Zhaoxue raised his head and looked in the direction of Yuanhe Sect.
The security below is tight, and those who follow the emperor out of the city are not allowed to go free. It is extremely dangerous for you to go alone. Shen Lie said, I can't give you the clothes I'm wearing for the time being. If you want, you can go to the mountains northeast of the palace. I killed him last night. The dead soldiers were buried not long ago. However, I arrested a few people for questioning when I went down, and knocked many people unconscious before I left, so the security below may be tighter. I don’t recommend you to go there at the moment.
After a pause, Xia Zhaoxue said: Are you going down?
Ask for news.
Xia Zhaoxue nodded.
Shen Lie didn't like to meddle in other people's business, but seeing his skill and appearance, he couldn't help but ask: Are you going down?
Assassination. Xia Zhaoxue said.
Who to assassinate?
Li Ju.
Shen Lie nodded, not feeling anything ridiculous or overestimating his capabilities, and said: "You need a crossbow, which is better than the clothes I have on me. Besides, I think you might as well go to the sect on the mountain and make some inquiries to find out who they were last night." How to drive the emperor away.
Okay, Xia Zhaoxue said, do you want to go find this expert?
I dont go.
Xia Zhaoxue nodded and said: Thank you Brother Shen.
No need to be polite, Shen Lie said, but he felt that there was something unfinished, so he added, if there is a chance, can we make another gesture?
