Nine hundred and thirtieth chapters heaven and earth net
Realizing that the other party was going to sink the ship, Ruan Xiu was shocked and subconsciously rushed towards Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu was not slow either. He swayed and ran directly to the window next to him. Without thinking, Ruan Xiu flicked his arm and threw the long sword in his hand, directly to Liu Xiu's back.
Hearing that there was an evil wind behind him, Liu Xiu squatted down, and whoosh, the long sword flew over his head, and with a clang, it was nailed to the ship's plank.
In the blink of an eye, Ruan Xiu took three steps into two steps, came to Liu Xiu's back, stretched out his arms, and firmly grasped the clothes behind Liu Xiu's back.
Liu Xiu struck back with a sword, and the sword edge slashed towards Ruan Xiu's arm. Ruan Xiu was shocked and quickly retracted his hand. After the sword edge swept past, he reached forward again and grabbed Liu Xiu's arm.
Liu Xiu struggled hard, and heard a click in his ear. Liu Xiu's outer crown robe broke, and he broke free from the crown robe.
Ruan Xiu took a closer look and found that Liu Xiu was not wearing a middle coat under her crown, but a tight-fitting waistband.
Seeing this, Ruan Xiu couldn't help being startled. Liu Xiu raised the corner of his mouth and jumped out of the window. He drew a parabola in the air, and then, with a thud, he fell into the river.
Now Ruan Xiu has realized that this entire boat is a trap set by Liu Xiu for himself.
He roared angrily and rushed to the window. As he passed by, he pulled out the long sword nailed to the ship's board and jumped out along the window.
When it comes to kung fu on land, Ruan Xiu is definitely top-notch, but when it comes to kung fu in the water, Ruan Xiu is average at best.
But that doesn't mean he can't. With his cultivation, he can hold his breath for much longer than ordinary people. Even in water that he's not good at, it's not something ordinary people can compare to.
It was precisely because of this confidence that Ruan Xiu chased Liu Xiu without hesitation and jumped out of the building together.
Liu Xiu, who entered the water first, had just poked his head out of the water when he heard a strong wind coming from above his head. He looked up and saw Ruan Xiu Xiu falling from the air. At the same time, he struck out with a sword from the air.
Chop it down and take your own head.
Liu Xiu didn't have time to think too much, he raised the Chixiao Sword in his hand and took the opponent's heavy blow.
Bang! The long sword fell from the air and struck the Chixiao Sword. This sword directly killed Liu Xiu. The powerful impact shook Liu Xiu's entire body into the depths of the river.
His body sank at least seven or eight meters deep in the river before the impact of Ruan Xiu's sword could be relieved.
His body had just stabilized when several water ghosts wearing black water bodies swam quickly around him, held Liu Xiu's body up, and then swam up quickly.
When the water ghosts were carrying Liu Xiu upstream, Ruan Xiuye had already entered the water. He stuck his head out from the water, took a deep breath, and then plunged into the water to look for Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu dived from bottom to top, while Ruan Xiu dived from top to bottom. As they went up and down, they just happened to hit each other.
It is already dark now. Even though there are lanterns on the boat and both sides of the bank to illuminate, the visibility in the water is still extremely low. When Liu Xiu and others and Ruan Xiu saw each other, the distance between them was only more than two meters away.
.
Before Ruan Xiu could sneak over, two water ghosts swam towards Ruan Xiu first, and stabbed Ruan Xiu with two iron forks. A cold light flashed in Ruan Xiu's eyes, and when the two iron forks stabbed him, he would
He raised his sword to both sides and lifted the two iron forks away.
Before the two water ghosts could retract their attacks, he drew out his sword first. The blade of the sword penetrated the chest of one water ghost and poked out from his back. Bright red blood instantly poured out of the water ghost's body. Gululu, the water ghost's mouth.
A series of bubbles emerged, and after a few moments of withdrawal, there was no movement.
Ruan Xiu drew his sword, and the body of the water ghost floated to the surface. Another water ghost stabbed Ruan Xiu again. Ruan Xiu twisted his waist and turned sideways to avoid the sharp edge of the iron fork. Then,
He returned his sword and pierced the water ghost's neck.
Even in the water, Ruan Xiu's moves were still fast, hard and sharp. The water ghosts were so good at water, but they still seemed vulnerable in front of Ruan Xiu. Ruan Xiu killed two water ghosts with two swords, but just before
During the time he was delayed, the water ghosts had already dragged Liu Xiu to the surface, and then people pulled Liu Xiu and swam away quickly.
Ruan Xiu raised his head and glanced up, unwilling to let them go. He held his sword upside down and chased Liu Xiu with all his strength. The water ghosts looked back and saw Ruan Xiu chasing after them, and they immediately separated.
Several people came to greet Ruan Xiu.
As soon as the two sides came face to face, an iron fork was thrust towards Ruan Xiu's face. Ruan Xiu tilted his head to avoid the edge of the iron fork, and then swung out a sword with his hand, slicing open the water ghost's chest.
A long opening.
The water ghost was in pain and immediately floated up. Ruan Xiu had just fought off one person, and another water ghost swam to his left and right sides. Two iron prongs stabbed his left and right ribs. Ruan Xiu hurriedly swung his sword outward.
As soon as he pushed the two iron prongs away, two more prongs stabbed him in the back.
Ruan Xiu had no choice but to sink as hard as he could, narrowly dodging the two forks behind him. Just as he was sinking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the soles of his feet. He subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the water beneath him.
Here, a water ghost also appeared at some point.
Because the light was too dim, he could not clearly see the appearance of the water ghosts. He could only see their round, bright eyes and the iron forks they held in their hands.
Just now, an iron fork pierced the sole of his foot, almost piercing the sole of his foot.
The strong tingling sensation was rapidly consuming Ruan Xiu's physical strength, and it was also rapidly consuming the oxygen in his body.
Ruan Xiu didn't want to fight with the water ghost, or in other words, he urgently needed to stick his head out of the water and breathe fresh air. He exerted all his strength, swung his feet back and forth, and floated upward quickly.
Just when he was about to surface, suddenly, a big net covered him from top to bottom. Around the big net, there was a circle of water ghosts, each holding a corner of the big net.
Ruan Xiu saw it clearly and screamed inwardly that he was floating upward and hurriedly dodged to the side. He had just swam less than two meters away when a large group of black water ghosts swam around him.
The iron fork in his hand stabbed at him one after another.
No matter how superb Ruan Xiu's martial arts skills are, it is difficult to withstand the siege of so many water ghosts. In addition, Ruan Xiu's water properties are very average, and there is no skill at all in the water. This undoubtedly makes his
The true strength is greatly reduced.
Even though Ruan Xiu tried his best, his arms and thighs were still cut open by the iron forks. The severe pain made Ruan Xiu dizzy, and what was even worse was that he felt that his lungs were about to explode.
He used all his strength and swept out a sword. With Ruan Xiu as the center, a circle of water halo spread out, and the water ghosts in black around him were forced to retreat.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ruan Xiu floated up regardless. The moment his head came out of the water, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide and take a big breath. When he took the third breath, he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen.
, Ruan Xiu groaned, and without thinking, he swung his sword out.
First, blood emerged in front of him and slowly spread. Then, a corpse floated to the surface of the water, with half of its neck almost cut off by a long sword.
Ruan Xiu had no time to admire the corpse in front of him. He looked around, looking for Liu Xiu.
Not to mention, he really found Liu Xiu. At this time, more than ten feet away from him, Liu Xiu was being pushed into a small boat by many water ghosts. On the small boat, there was Hua Feiyan, who was dragging
He took Liu Xiu's arm and pulled him to the boat.
After Ruan Xiu looked at it, he dived into the water again and planned to swim towards Liu Xiu. However, it was not easy to pass the distance of more than ten feet now.
All around him, he saw water ghosts in black clothes. There were so many of them, not one or twenty, but at least one or two hundred.
If Ruan Xiu faced one or two hundred people on land, it wouldn't be a problem at all. What's terrible is that now he is not on land, but in water, which he is very bad at. What's even more terrible is that his opponent,
These black-clad water ghosts are all elite men carefully selected from the navy army.
Looking around at so many water ghosts, Ruan Xiuden felt powerless. He narrowed his eyes and wanted to use the tactic of attacking from the east to the west, first feinting to attack his right side, and then unexpectedly charging forward.
He just took an offensive stance against the water ghosts on the right, and all the water ghosts swam backwards to widen the distance between them.
Seeing this, Ruan Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then swam forward, as did the water ghost in front of him. As he approached, everyone retreated.
The water ghosts took the initiative to show weakness, allowing Ruan Xiu to see a glimmer of opportunity. He gathered enough strength, suddenly exerted force, and swam forward at full speed. The water ghosts did not retreat as fast as he swam forward. People no longer retreated, but
Spread to both sides.
This was exactly the effect Ruan Xiu wanted. He planned to work harder and walk through the crowd, but what he didn't expect was that right in front of him, a square formation of water ghosts, about seven or eight in number, swam over.
The numbered people formed a square, and in the center of the square was a large net.
After seeing this, Ruan Xiu's expression suddenly changed. He did not dare to continue swimming forward, so he hurriedly turned and swam to his left, trying to dodge the big net in front of him.
But what shocked Ruan Xiu was that on his left hand side, another square formation swam over, and there were still seven or eight water ghosts who opened a large net and came towards him.
Ruan Xiu subconsciously swam backward for a while. He looked closely and saw that there were a large number of water ghosts swimming toward him quickly with big nets in front, back, left, right, and even above and below him.
This time, Ruan Xiu broke out in a cold sweat, and for a moment he didn't know which direction to run.
Only now did he realize that Liu Xiu had already laid a dragnet for him on the ship and even outside the ship.
If he stays on the boat, he will sink to the bottom of the water along with the scuttled building. If he jumps off the boat to escape, there will be a large number of water ghosts who are proficient in water skills waiting for him in the water.
Therefore, no matter whether he jumped from the ship or not, as long as he got on the ship where Liu Xiu was, he would never be able to escape again.
No wonder those personal guards who were always with Liu Xiu were not by his side. No wonder those brave generals who were brave enough to win the three armies were not by his side either. Now, Ruan Xiu finally figured out what was going on.
Liu Xiu didn't need anyone to help him with the trap he set. He only needed to stay in the boat and lure out the assassins like Ruan Xiu. After that, his mission was to find an opportunity to jump off the boat and escape. As for the rest, the water ghosts would do it.
Help him solve it.
If Long Yuan, Xu Ying and others follow Liu Xiu and stay on the boat, they will become a burden.
Soon after, the water ghosts came to Ruan Xiu with big nets in their arms. The first big net was pulled down over Ruan Xiu's head.
Ruan Xiu swung his sword upward with all his strength. He thought he could cut a hole in the big net, but he was wrong. This sword slashed, not only failed to cut a hole in the big net, but also caused his long sword to be damaged by the big net.
The net is tangled up.
The wires used to weave these large nets are extremely tough. If we were on land, we might be able to cut the nets apart with strong force, but in water, the resistance would be too great, and the force of the sword would not be as strong as on land.
