Feeling the suction of the Hao Cao Zijian in his hand, Zhao Qing inserted the dagger into the recess in the wall, isolating the coldness of the blood on his body and feeling the resonance. He felt that it was a bit like a strong magnet magnetizing the surrounding metal. The closer to the source, the stronger the suction.
The bigger.
The suction force she endured on her own body alone was so great that it almost tore the blood vessels in her palm. Then what kind of effect must be experienced by the woman holding the sword dozens of feet away?
?
Looking at the beauty in the distance again, Zhao Qing saw that her face had changed and became extremely pale.
What is even more eye-catching is that her originally dark and bright temples quickly turned gray starting from the roots of her hair.
Sure enough, it was a method like blood sacrifice. In just a few breaths, he didn't know how much lifespan he had consumed. Zhao Qing was surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but feel that a beauty was about to die.
However, the more important thing is that once the sword-wielding woman has exhausted her vitality, I am afraid that the secret guard of the Wu Kingdom in the dark will take action again. At that time, no one will be able to resist.
The thought of sitting quietly in meditation and dreaming about the world of heavens suddenly flashed through her mind.
However, there are many crises around us now. Even if you successfully enter the dream, it will be difficult to make a big progress in strength after returning, and it will take a long time to absorb it.
What should we do?
……
From the time Duanmu Shuliang called out the name "Hongshang Sword Master" to this moment, he only had two breaths left.
Duanmu Shuliang's martial arts was on par with Peng Chu's. After the two of them fought, it would take a lot of time for either party to escape, and it could not be done with just a few moves.
In the competition between masters, every move involves life and death. If one can advance and retreat freely, he can take the other's life casually. How can he come as he pleases and go as he wants?
When he saw the soldiers invading the convoy and searching for treasures, Uncle Duanmu became very anxious in his conscience and attacked one after another, trying to escape quickly.
Seeing that his opponent was impatient and his moves were no longer as smooth as before, Peng Zhi was secretly happy. With the scorching heat, Crimson Changge tried his best to stick to Bronze Scale's move, trying to hold it back for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, he heard what Duanmu Shuliang said about the secret guard of the Wu Kingdom.
Hongshang Sword Master is an elite secret guard organization founded by Wu Zixu. It is said that there are several commanders such as Jiao Qiuqi, Zhuan Yi, and Sun Di. Below the commanders, there are hundreds of masters of Gang Jin and Shen Jin, and even Xia Liu Qi.
A great master in the realm.
Among them, those at the forefront are equipped with the sword of Time and Fish Intestine; the rest of the people are equipped with the sword of Bian Zhu. Everyone practices the extremely murderous and evil sword technique, and their combat power is extremely strong. It is the time for the Wu Kingdom to compete for hegemony.
An important help to the world.
A master of Gangjin, who concentrates his mind and refines his soul, has Hunyuan as one, and can hit a ten-foot-long Gangfeng with a single blow. It is so powerful that it is difficult to block it, and it is far beyond the level of Huajin.
Does the other party also want to use disturbing tactics like me? Do you think I will be deceived?
However, although Peng Chu tried hard to ignore the other party's words, he couldn't help but think of Sword Master Hongshang's behavior over the years.
In the past few years, the secret guards of the Wu Kingdom lurking in Yue have made frequent moves. Every time they act, they are ruthless and ruthless, causing a large number of casualties and gaining a notoriety.
Faced with such a murderer who massacred the people of the country, many people asked the King of Yue for orders and wanted to mobilize experts to fight back severely, but Gou Jian rejected it by saying that they should not offend the state of Wu.
If you die in their hands, the best outcome after your death is to be able to mention it in the mouth of the envoys sent to Wu as a bargaining chip to fight for misery and gain.
It is also because of Yue's "weak" attitude that Wu's secret guards act more and more unscrupulously in Yue. Once they find that Yue has any suspicion of harming Wu's interests, they will immediately kill them.
The life and safety of the Yue people actually depended on the thoughts of Wu Zixu and Fu Cha.
This is the power of a big country and the sorrow of a small country.
After listening to Duanmu Shuliang's words, Peng Zhi was shocked in his heart and looked around to find out the facts.
If there is really a Hongshang Swordsman nearby, you must put your own safety first, retreat quickly, and let others cut off the rear.
The truly top Yue masters can kill the secret guards of the Wu State and then hand them over to the monsters and bandits in the Kuaiji Mountains to reduce their responsibilities as much as possible. But this is not something they can consider.
But what he didn't expect was that the Wu Kingdom's secret guard who was hiding in the dark would suddenly take action after a moment.
Before he even had time to complete the process of gradually reducing his strength, the green ball of energy began to sweep from the other end of the street.
After that, whether it was Zhao Qing's sword that deflected Gang Qi, or the woman holding the sword's blood sacrifice to resist the enemy, it far exceeded Peng Zhi's expectations.
"Peng Yizai, you revealed the traces of the future princess in front of the Wu Kingdom's secret guards. If she was harmed, you will be punished a thousand times by the King of Yue."
Hearing a shout above his head, Duanmu Shuliang turned around in mid-air, then struck the sky with his palm, and suddenly fell down. Without even looking at Peng Zhi, he immediately rushed towards the middle of the convoy to help the woman holding the sword. In the distance, Zhao Qing blinked and thought secretly in his heart.
Future princess? Gou Jian obviously already had a queen and gave birth to a prince. Now he is struggling to survive and it is impossible to marry any princess. So this should be the princess for Fu Cha.
This also corroborates the news about the melon vendor before.
That's not right. How could such information be revealed to foreign businessmen? So someone claimed to the Duanmu family that she was going to be sent to Gou Jian to be a princess, but in fact she was sent to Fu Cha?
And Wu Zixu suspected Gou Jian's purpose of recruiting beautiful women, so he sent his secret guards to attack and kill him?
The most famous candidates who can be Fucha's concubine are Xi Shi and Zheng Dan. It is said that Zheng Dan is good at sword dancing, has a strong personality and is straightforward. Could this woman who holds a sword against the enemy be Zheng Dan herself?
No, if she were Zheng Dan, her hair would have turned gray under this sword, and she would die at the end of her life with two more strikes at most.
The secret guard of the Wu Kingdom lurking in the dark has eyesight that is no weaker than his own. How could he let her go when he saw clearly that she was able to block the attack by consuming a life-span blood sacrifice?
Even if he had some kind of butterfly effect, he shouldn't have affected such a major event now. In other words, the woman holding the sword might have been successfully attacked and killed?
Just as she was thinking, the woman holding the sword suddenly sheathed the sword, took out a black and white porcelain bottle from a light red dress, poured out a few crystal clear pearls, and then stuffed it into her mouth.
Her hair, which was getting whiter and whiter, suddenly stopped turning white, and slowly began to re-dye with the ink color that symbolizes vitality.
A panacea to replenish vitality? Zhao Qing looked from a distance and saw that the opponent's energy seemed to be abundant again, exuding a powerful and cold aura.
There was a heavy sigh in the distance, gradually fading away, and the sense of crisis that had been hanging over the soul finally disappeared.
It is very likely that the secret guard of the Wu Kingdom sent out the powerful sword energy that could flood the streets, but also had to pay a considerable price. After seeing that the opponent still seemed to have enough strength, he chose to leave temporarily.
……
After taking the elixir in the porcelain bottle, Zheng Dan, whose face was still pale, floated down from the air and landed on the bumpy ground, as if it had been plowed dozens of times by cultivators.
"Miss Zheng, are you okay?" Duanmu Shuliang rushed to her side and asked with concern.
More than twenty days ago, in the land of South Vietnam, a pair of beautiful sisters with somewhat similar looks, both of whom were stunningly beautiful, arrived at the camp of the caravan under his jurisdiction, together with Sikong Fan Li of the Yue Kingdom.
Doctor Fan Li took out a magical weapon worth thousands of mysterious jade as a deposit, and asked the Duanmu family to secretly escort the elder sister of the two to Kuaiji City, and repeatedly asked:
In order to prevent the King of Yue from getting his chosen concubine as he wished, the swordsman Hongshang under Wu Zixu was likely to launch an attack on the way and had to hide Zheng Dan's whereabouts.
For him, protecting Zheng Dan is not only a task that Dr. Fan Li pays a lot of money for, but also the loyalty of the Duanmu family to "keep one's word". It is also a kind of care and concern for the younger generation from the elders.
However, what makes him ashamed is that he not only leaked Zheng Dan's whereabouts during the conflict with Peng Chu, but also failed to play any role when he met the Wu Kingdom's secret guard and needed to protect her. p>
"Uncle Duanmu, I have nothing to do, but I have caused trouble for you." Zheng Dan stroked her bloodless cheek, not acknowledging the expense she had just spent in repelling the enemy.
"No, it was Miss Zheng who saved Shuliang's life. Since the Lingzhu Pearl is beneficial to your recovery, Miss Zheng, you can use it as much as you want without any saving."
"When faced with a life-or-death crisis, our Duanmu family is by no means inflexible."
When Duanmu Shuliang mentioned the "Lingzhizhu", he glanced at where Peng Zhi and his soldiers were, but saw that they were quickly evacuating, and he couldn't help but "hum" in annoyance.
Zheng Dan looked at Duanmu Shuliang next to him with his big, clear eyes, and nodded slightly. Bai Zhi's neck curved slightly in a beautiful arc.
"If I can really become the concubine of the King of Yue after arriving in Kuaiji City, I will definitely say something good for your Duanmu family, and I will not let the royal family and the nobles blame Uncle Duanmu."
"That little sister in green clothes, the enemy has retreated. There is no danger anymore. You can come out." She tidied up her clothes that had become a little scattered in the impact of the air waves, and called out softly.
To be honest, if Zhao Qing hadn't helped her block the incoming sword energy and bought her half a breath, Zheng Dan could only have hurriedly slashed with the sword, and the consumption would have been much greater.
When she was a child, in the crevices of the valley outside the village, she accidentally found a technique called "Qi Sensing Stars and Spirits Falling from the Sky", which aimed to use herself as a star, a divine weapon as the sky, and evolve into an endless starry sky. Among them is a secret method that can release the "spirit of stars" containing the natural power of magic weapons at the cost of life span.
Zheng Dan used this method and used the magic weapon left behind by Fan Li after the transaction to temporarily improve his cultivation level to the third level of Hunyuan Ruyi, the virtual reality and empty Gangjin. He took action to repel the powerful enemy, but he also paid a huge price. The spirit-covering beads have the effect of hindering the escape of spiritual energy. After being swallowed into the abdomen and integrated into the blood meridians, it may be able to reduce the loss of life after the blood sacrifice.
This was Zheng Dan's conjecture after she learned about the effectiveness of the Lingzhu Bead on the road. She just took a risk and tried it, and it did have a certain effect, frightening the enemy from a distance.
But in fact, the essence of the spirit-covering beads is still for burial. It cannot make up for the loss of vitality and lifespan at all. It is more like returning the light.
Miss Zheng? It seems she is really Zheng Dan. Hearing the sound in the distance, Zhao Qing patted the dust on his body, retrieved the Haocao Zijian from the hole in the wall, and left outside.
Without the aftermath of Zheng Dan’s blood sacrifice to the divine weapon, the surface of Haocao Zijian no longer attracts blood.
By the way, Zheng Dan still doesn’t know that he is actually going to the Kingdom of Wu, right?
To be honest, the women of their own country were deceived and allowed to gather in the capital with good hopes, but in the end they were sent to the enemy country to implement the so-called "beauty trap."
This is really a pitiful reversal and tragedy for them. Ever since they embarked on the journey to Kuaiji City, there has been no second option.
Zhao Qing was disgusted but helpless about this.
"Miss Zheng, you blocked the enemy from Wu State. I, Zhao Qing, would like to express my gratitude. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen someone as beautiful as you."
Walking closer and looking at Zheng Dan's flawless appearance except for his white hair, Zhao Qing couldn't help but feel sincerely.
By the way, can this spirit-overturning bead really cure the consumption of blood sacrifice? Consuming the beads can make the weak burst out thousands of times the strength without limit, so the value may not match.
It is rumored that Zheng Dan died at a young age in the palace of King Wu Fucha. Maybe it was for this reason?
"Actually, my sister Yi Guang is more beautiful than me." Zheng Dan walked up to Zhao Qing with a somewhat shaky figure. It was obvious that after the explosion, her body was weak and unconcealable.
"Sister Ah Qing, my name is Zheng Dan, and my courtesy name is Xiu Ming. You can call me Sister Zheng or Sister Xiuming."
Looking at the girl in front of him who was dressed in light green and had a delicate figure, about one or two years younger than him, a gentle smile appeared on Zheng Dan's face, and he stretched out his hand to caress Zhao Qing's cheek.
Don't touch my face just because I'm tender! This is the first time we've met, okay?
Although he did not resist Zheng Dan's touch, Zhao Qing still took half a step back.
Seeing the little girl retreating shyly, Zheng Dan was about to chuckle, but suddenly felt tiredness gushing from every corner of his body.
Her arms slowly dropped, her legs slowly softened, and she fell forward. Zhao Qing quickly grabbed her and held her steady with her right hand.
Zheng Dan's smooth neck rested gently on Zhao Qing's shoulder, and her hair fell casually on her back, and began to be dyed with a beautiful white color.
Zheng Dan fainted, will the secret guard of the Wu Kingdom come back in the dark? Also, the mother and the ape man, who are about half a mile away, should be fine.
Zhao Qing's left hand is close to Zheng Dan's back, using all her strength to convey the pure internal energy of the Shen Zhao Gong, hoping that she can wake up and recover as soon as possible.
