Chapter 44: The scabbard sword gives off murderous aura like cold
On an official road outside the south of Baishui City, a white horse galloped on the official road. On the horse was a young man in mysterious clothes. The young man had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and his handsome face was sharp and angular. The young man sat like a benchmark.
On the horseback, the reins were raised, and the white horse couldn't help but speed up.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and it was clearly visible that the crescent moon, which was like a small arc, had already hung high in the night sky. It was like a bright pearl embedded in the sky, and the pan stars twinkling beside the crescent moon.
Like shining diamonds.
Ling Tianyun rode on his horse and had been riding for nearly an hour. He was already forty or fifty miles away from Baishui City. He pulled the bag on his back and let out a long sigh. It might be safe for the time being.
. He still held the saber in his hand tightly. The temporary crisis had passed, but there was no guarantee that there would be no crisis along the way.
There was a dense forest ahead. Ling Tianyun tightened the reins, and the horse couldn't help but slow down.
The sound of horse hooves "Dede" sounded, and Ling Tianyun almost asked the horse to walk slowly instead of running. His eyes shrank slightly and his face became serious.
"Plop, plop, plop",
A sound came from the dense forest, and a flock of birds flew out of the dense forest.
Seeing this, Ling Tianyun reined in the reins, and the horse stood still and stopped moving forward. Based on many years of experience as a scout, he told him that there must be someone in the dense forest. Could it be that the people in the dense forest were out to deal with him? He was not sure, then
Who is in the dense forest? Who is still in the dense forest at such a dark time? Either a local hunter, or someone who is ambushing in the dense forest and planning to do evil.
Faintly, Ling Tianyun felt that the people in the dense forest were probably the second type of people. He felt that it was impossible for the great Han Prime Minister Wang Dezhong to let him go so easily. The people in the dense forest were probably that kind of people.
A master guard from the Taiyuan Palace.
Ling Tianyun sat on the horse and pondered for a while. A sharp cold light shot out from his eyes. He was the most experienced in fighting in the dense forest. Since they still refused to let him go, don't blame him for ignoring the friendship of his colleagues.
He jumped off the horse and slapped the horse's butt hard. The horse started, neighed, and ran forward quickly. After a while, it disappeared from Ling Tianyun's eyes.
Ling Tianyun carried his luggage behind his back and held the saber tightly in his hand. After the sound of horse hooves disappeared, he ducked and did not even enter the dense forest.
"Shashasha",
He could only hear the sound of his feet stepping on the dead leaves. He bent down and looked around. He saw the dark mottled tree shadows in the dense forest, swaying under the weak moonlight.
.Surrounded by some large trees with fallen leaves, there are also a few dense pine trees mixed in.
Ling Tianyun was on guard, walking step by step deeper into the dense forest.
At this time, a strong wind came in the dense forest, and the dead branches everywhere were swaying. He was on guard while looking around. The dense forest was getting darker and darker, and the faint moonlight shone straight down from the dead branches. There was silence all around.
, so quiet that it can only make one’s heart beat with fear.
Ling Tianyun found a small hill not far ahead of him. The surrounding area was covered with weeds that had not yet dried up. He jumped up and rushed towards the small hill like a cheetah and submerged himself into the weeds. He crawled forward.
He moved away, climbed up the hill, and looked forward. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned. Unconsciously, his scalp was numb, his back felt cold, and he broke into a cold sweat all over his body.
In front of him, under the hill, was a coffin. The coffin was placed on two small wooden stools. The coffin was surrounded by paper money and other obscene papers. It turned out that what he was climbing was a coffin that had not yet been placed.
grave.
Ling Tianyun jumped down from the hill, and landed lightly with his feet, landing right next to the coffin. In the light of the night, he could see a huge black coffin placed there, and the tomb had not been completely sealed.
. It must be that someone nearby is having a funeral today, and will not place the coffin in the grave until tomorrow. There are incense candles that have just been burned around, and puffs of green smoke are rising.
What a strange cemetery. Ling Tianyun couldn't help but shudder at the sudden appearance of the cemetery. He turned around to leave the cemetery, at this moment.
The dark coffin lid suddenly moved, and Ling Tianyun's heart tightened, wondering if it was going to be haunted. An inexplicable chill came from his back, causing him to pull out the saber in his hand. He stared intently.
Holding the coffin, his whole body was tense.
There was a "bang" sound.
The coffin lid suddenly exploded and flew towards Ling Tianyun.
Ling Tianyun's eyes shrank slightly, he shouted loudly, raised his knife and struck at the coffin lid. With a loud "bang" sound, his knife had hit the coffin lid, and the coffin lid was immediately struck by him.
It broke into two halves. In a moment, sawdust flew everywhere, and the aroused energy blew the paper money on the ground flying everywhere, as if it was falling from the sky.
After Ling Tianyun split the coffin lid, he was about to step forward to the coffin. At this moment, an iron chain flew out from the coffin and rolled towards his body.
"Pretend to be a ghost," Ling Tianyun snorted. The knife in his hand turned into layers of knife shadows and rushed towards the iron chain. After a few "dang-dang" sounds, the iron chain that rolled towards him was blocked by the knife in his hand. The knife struck at
On the iron chain, a huge recoil force made his jaw numb.
After knocking away the iron chain, the iron chain retracted into the coffin with a "swish" sound. Seeing this, Ling Tianyun raised his knife and struck at the coffin. With a "bang" sound, his knife had not yet reached the coffin.
When the coffin was struck, it was torn into pieces as if exploded, and a human figure jumped out of the coffin.
I saw the man wearing soap-colored clothes, holding an iron chain as thick as a finger, standing on the torn coffin with a cold face. The man stood tall in the dark night, holding the iron chain as if sent from the netherworld.
His fate is impermanent.
"We meet again," the man said to Ling Tianyun calmly.
Ling Tianyun's eyes narrowed. This person was the person on the roof that blocked him and Guo Huaian from entering the street that night. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked that person: "Why?"
"Acting as ordered." But the man only uttered four words, but did not provide any information.
"Since we are following orders, why bother pretending to be a ghost here?" Ling Tianyun said coldly.
The man did not show any expression. He raised the iron chain in his hand, and the iron chain rolled towards Ling Tianyun like a poisonous snake. In an instant, he was at Ling Tianyun's side and wrapped around his body.
Ling Tianyun bent down and took a wrong step to avoid the iron chain that was curling towards him like a poisonous snake. He raised the knife in his hand and rushed towards the man with a lunge. Only when he got closer to the man did the iron chain
Lian Cai was not such a big threat. Ling Tianyun seemed to have thought of this, so he wanted to get closer to that person.
The man seemed to have been prepared for this move. The man held the iron chain with one hand instead of holding it with both hands. The iron chain was like a flexible rope, turning into a chain shadow all over the sky and shrouding Ling Tianyun.
When Ling Tianyun saw this, he gritted his teeth and could only raise the knife, holding up the flowers of the knife and colliding with the iron chain.
After several "dang-dang-dang" sounds.
Ling Tianyun's right hand trembled slightly, and the counterattack force from the iron chain almost numbed his jaw, and his arms were slightly sore. While he resisted the iron chain rolling towards him, he thought about defeating the enemy.
This is the first time he has encountered a weapon like an iron chain. The iron chain is heavy, but it is also the most difficult to twist. The person who uses this weapon must not only have deep internal strength, but also have flexible hands.
Harmony.
This person's internal strength is obviously not inferior to his own. If he fights hard, he may not be able to defeat him. It's just that he has never experienced fighting against someone who uses a weapon like an iron chain. For a while, the two sides fought very fiercely, and no one could win.
There was nothing he could do about it. Sometimes the iron chain turned into a long poisonous snake and attacked him, and sometimes it turned into a soft rope and rolled toward him. The blossoming sword he held up was like a solid shield, holding the man back.
The attack was resisted.
Ling Tianyun suddenly took a step forward, the aura on his body suddenly increased a bit, and the sword aura became more fierce. This made the man's eyes show a solemn look, and he also accelerated the speed of the chain dance.
After a few more banging sounds.
Ling Tianyun suddenly kicked a broken coffin fragment under his feet. The fragment turned into a strong wind and shot towards the man like a meteor. When the man saw this, he showed a contemptuous smile. I saw the man's iron chain.
He pulled it back and danced the iron chain with both hands at the same time. As soon as the broken piece flying towards him hit the dancing iron chain, it turned into sawdust with a "bang" and flew in all directions.
Ling Tianyun kept kicking the fragments of the coffin under his feet towards the man, and the pieces of wood turned into meteors and shot towards the man. Suddenly, Ling Tianyun's momentum changed, and his whole body's aura immediately disappeared without a trace.
His feet touched the ground, and his body immediately flew up and flew straight towards the man's head.
The sword energy was like a cold star, turning into a dazzling light and striking towards the man's head. When the man saw this, he was shocked. He saw his iron chain let go and turned into a sharp sword, striking Ling Tianyun's lower abdomen.
With a "bang" sound, the iron chain had hit Ling Tianyun's lower abdomen. Ling Tianyun endured the huge pain from his lower abdomen, and the sword light was in full bloom, and the sword energy was as long as the sky, and it slashed towards the man's head.
A hint of terror came. The man raised his head and looked at the knife above his head that was shining brightly in the dark night. He panicked. He wanted to take back the chain, but it was too late. The man clearly felt that the god of death was
So close to him.
Ling Tianyun's knife struck straight down from the man's head in an instant, and the knife's sudden burst of sword energy swept down from the man's head. The man's eyes widened, looking at the man who struck like a flying fairy from the sky.
The stabbing blow sent a crack of pain from his head. In an instant, his consciousness dispersed and his eyes lost their luster.
Ling Tianyun's body fell heavily to the ground. He covered his abdomen that was hit by the iron chain with one hand, supported his body with the knife and stood up slowly. He dragged his tired body towards the person who fell to the ground.
When the man walked away, he saw that the man had died, and a thin thread of blood was flowing down the man's forehead.
He let out a long breath and sat down on the ground. He untied the clothes under his abdomen and found that there was only a bruise on his abdomen left by the iron chain, but it had not been penetrated by the iron chain. Obviously, it was not penetrated by the iron chain.
That person didn't use all his strength and seemed to want to capture him alive. After all, the role of a living person is always more important than a dead person.
At this moment, Ling Tianyun's heart did not have any fluctuations. Killing that man seemed to be a trivial matter to him. He cheered up and dragged his tired body deep into the dense forest. There were still many more things ahead.
Crisis awaits him.
The dense forest seemed to become quieter, and even the sound of insects in the dense forest disappeared. Beside the hill in the dense forest, only the gradually stiffening corpse was left, lying next to the torn coffin.
