Volume 1: The Rise of the Western Regions Chapter 84: Compromise
Facing the sword light that echoed the power of heaven and earth, Ye Sanniang did not hesitate in the slightest. A bit of murderous intent bloomed from her scimitar, so thick that it seemed like it could turn into water droplets and fall from the sky.
The murderous intention did not distinguish between friend and foe, but it trapped Zhao Rang in it. He was so oppressed that he could not breathe. It was not until Zhao Rang put all his energy on the knife in his hand that he felt that the oppressive feeling was relieved.
a lot of!
A long and shrill roar!
Ye Sanniang is out with her sword!
Zhao Rang saw that the scimitar in Ye Sanniang's hand was like a white rainbow piercing the sun. She pulled it out of thin air and flickered like a meteor. The sword's power was strange and fast. In the blink of an eye, the blade turned into afterimages. With Zhao Rang's eyesight, he could see it.
He couldn't even see how many times Ye Sanniang had struck out. All he could see was a rebellious look between her eyebrows, and she was about to compete with the woman in red!
The sword energy is vertical and horizontal, tilting down like a waterfall of cold light, like a roc hovering above the nine heavens, striking the sky fiercely.
The blade and the sword light intersected, and the sound was like a dragon's roar, sharp and solemn. The sound of breaking wind was accompanied by the fire splashing everywhere. Zhao Rang had no choice but to lean on the ground with the knife, and also used a body technique of a thousand catties to ensure that he would not be hit by this.
The stock fluctuated violently.
In the courtyard across the courtyard, rocks suddenly shot through the air and collided with each other, sounding like drums. The woman in red had an elegant figure, like clouds rolling and relaxing. After the long sword in her hand clashed with Ye Sanniang's blade, she seemed to find that Ye Sanniang was also
He is not a person who takes things easy, so he changes his approach, hoping to win by surprise! The long sword in his hand uses various tricky and cruel methods, stabbing and provoking.
Ye Sanniang used her strength to overwhelm Qi, and the strength of her sword skills was like a leaping dragon and a tiger, blocking all the sword moves of the woman in red.
The shadow of the sword and the light of the sword were entangled together, like a wonderful picture scroll unfolding silently in front of Zhao Rang.
Immediately, the momentum of the two people rose, and the surrounding wind and sand rolled up, as if the entire world was involved.
Zhao Rang covered his eyes with his hands to block the wind and sand. Then he saw a flash of bright red swaying in the wind. He immediately drew his knife with his backhand and slashed at the woman in red.
The sword in her hand was held by Ye Sanniang's sword and she was unable to defend in time, so she had to dodge and put some distance between herself and Zhao Rang.
"Didn't I tell you to run away? What are you still doing here?"
Ye Sanniang asked sharply.
In desperation, she no longer had the intention to joke.
Zhao Rang smiled softly and replied:
"You can use the sword, why can't I use the sword?"
Ye Sanniang was speechless, but she moved forward to block Zhao Rang, protecting Zhao Rang behind her.
The woman in red quietly listened to the exchange between the two and said with a smile:
"Hahaha! Even if you have a pretty boy, you don't have to protect him like this, right? Besides, if he's like this, why don't you catch a lot of him?"
Ye Sanniang remained silent, but she was actually mobilizing the energy in her body to resolve the hidden injuries she had suffered during the fight between the two.
Although the martial arts cultivation of the woman in red has not yet reached the second-grade extreme realm, it is not far behind. Even though they are both third-grade great masters, there is still a difference between the two.
In comparison, the woman in red is considered to be a perfect grandmaster, while Ye Sanniang is still one-third short!
The gap in cultivation cannot be bridged by clever methods.
From the current demeanor of the woman in red, it can be seen that the fight with Ye Sanniang just now has no impact on her at all, and she can still laugh and joke loudly.
On the other hand, Zhao Rang and Ye Sanniang were in a bit of a panic...especially Zhao Rang. Although he had just cut in the middle and forced the woman in red to retreat, this was based on Ye Sanniang's best efforts.
Hold down the sword in her hand. Otherwise, Zhao Rang's sword would not only fail to achieve any merit, he might even die on the spot!
Ye Sanniang promised Zhao Rang that she would protect his life, so she was still trying to persuade Zhao Rang to leave first.
She has not made many promises to others in her life, because she has been deeply hurt by others' promises.
Seeing that her provocative words had no effect on Ye Sanniang, the woman in red couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
In terms of strength alone, she was certainly not afraid of anyone in Tongbao Bank. But she had never expected that Ye Sanniang's cultivation had reached the level of a third-grade grandmaster.
Zhao Rang knew something about this.
When he met Ye Sanniang face to face for the first time, he didn't feel that she had any martial arts skills. If Zhao Rang hadn't done his homework in advance and knew Ye Sanniang's background, he would have been impressed by her appearance at that time.
deceive!
From this point of view, Ye Sanniang must have practiced some special skills at that time, which could hide her martial arts skills. This would not only help her conceal her identity when traveling around the world, but also make it easier for people who are hostile to her to
Relaxing your vigilance is, to put it bluntly, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
The woman in red had calculated everything, but she had not considered the variable Ye Sanniang. So she has a headache now... If she really had to fight hard to deal with Ye Sanniang, she would also waste a lot of time, and even get injured herself.
.
Although the cultivation of the remaining people in the semicolon is far inferior to hers, if they are injured, they will be in the offensive and defensive type. No one can say what will happen. Therefore, the top priority of the woman in red is how to move without hurting her muscles.
For the sake of the bones, get rid of Ye Sanniang, and then slowly deal with Zhao and the others.
"You are also a martial arts grandmaster who has reached the third level. You should know that cultivation is not easy! As long as you leave now, I, Hong Jiang, promise not to embarrass you. Even if we meet in the future, we can treat each other as sisters!"
The woman in red turns out to be called Hong Jiang!
Zhao Rang muttered the name several times and thought it was very strange!
Jiang is originally a kind of red, so how could someone be named Hong Jiang? Look at the red dress she is wearing. It seems to match her, but it is probably not her real name, but a nickname! As the saying goes, there are wrong names, but there is no wrong name.
Nickname, but Zhao Rang couldn't figure out any way to use this nickname.
"Are you Hong Jiang?!"
On the contrary, Ye Sanniang's heart skipped a beat after hearing this name.
As the proprietress who has settled in Yangguan and opened a wine shop and inn, she naturally knows much more about the Western Regions than others.
Especially after Dawei was split into the Northern Territory and the Southern Territory, many people from the Western Territory became even more emboldened, and they revealed many things that they had only dared to hold back before, after two glasses of wine.
Once when a leader of a caravan from the Western Regions was drunk, he took Ye Sanniang and chatted while drinking. Among them, he mentioned the ruined divine sect that Zhao Rang had just mentioned and the name of the woman in front of him - Hong
crimson.
Through the tone of the Westerner, Ye Sanniang intuitively felt that this so-called divine sect must not be a force to be trifled with. Later, she even deliberately inquired, and for this reason, she did not hesitate to let these Westerners take advantage of her. Unfortunately, she could no longer
No one knows any news about the Broken God Cult and Hong Jiang. And the team leader has never appeared in Yangguan again.
When she heard the woman in red admit that she was Hong Jiang, Ye Sanniang's heart trembled for no reason.
"It seems you know me!"
Hong Jiang's expression relaxed a little.
I have to say, a name is really a good thing. Especially when you have heard about it from others, when you meet the real person again, it will always have unexpected effects!
Hong Jiang didn't know who had told Ye Sanniang that she was in trouble, but when she thought about it, she felt that with her martial arts cultivation as a third-grade grandmaster, she had been able to access some real secrets, so she had some doubts about herself and the forces she was in.
From what I heard, it wasn't anything strange.
Regarding Hong Jiang's words, Ye Sanniang nodded this time.
There was no need for her to lie about such a thing. So what if she knew? She still wouldn't compromise, and she wouldn't let this woman hurt Zhao Rang no matter what!
"Since you know me, you should also know the consequences of going against us in the Western Region, right?"
This time Ye Sanniang shook her head.
Blushing face with an angry look!
She felt that Ye Sanniang was playing tricks on her!
There is no such person who knows who he is but has no scruples about the power behind him! At least there is no such person in Hong Jiang's knowledge. How did she know that Ye Sanniang was just telling the truth.
"Then you are determined to protect him?"
Hong Jiang raised the sword again and pointed it at Zhao Rang.
Ye Sanniang said sonorously:
"No matter what reason you have, he can't die!"
"Even if you die yourself, he can't die?"
Hong Jiang asked.
Ye Sanniang repeated word for word:
"Even if I die myself, he can't die!"
Hong Jiang was slightly moved, as if she had touched the softness in her heart. After a long time, it finally turned into a sigh. She seemed to want to say something more, but when the words came to her mouth, she struggled to hold them back.
"How about we each take a step back?"
Ye Sanniang and Zhao Rang looked at each other. They both thought that Hong Jiang's persuasion failed and they were definitely going to take action!
"How to retreat?"
Zhao Rang asked.
Hong Jiang frowned, then waved his right hand, hitting Zhao Rang with a powerful blast, and said:
"Do you have any say in this?"
Ye Sanniang had quick hands and eyes, and using her luck, she struck out with a knife before Hong Jiang could use her strength!
Dao Gang moved forward without hesitation, and after smashing Hong Jiang's energy into pieces, he still had the remaining strength to attack her body. She was blocked by Dao Gang, but it dispersed.
Only then did Hong Jiang look squarely at Zhao Rang.
Previously, she thought that Zhao Rang was just a pretty boy whom Ye Sanniang found on a whim to kill her loneliness. But with that knife blow just now, she did not feel the love between men and women from Ye Sanniang's eyes and the intention of the knife.
Carnal indulgence. Only long-lasting and firm commitment, and the protection of mutual trust!
Hong Jiang found it very interesting that such emotions appeared in two men and women who were extremely unequal in age and cultivation. She became interested in Zhao Rang!
Ye Sanniang struck while the iron was hot and said:
"There are at least four people here who you cannot act rashly, and these four people do not include me!"
The four people she was talking about were none other than Zhao Rang, Ximen Dazhuang, and the Yuan brothers and sisters. The reason why they didn't reveal their identities completely was simply because they wanted Hong Jiang to take advantage of others and gain more initiative for herself and others.
