Chapter 199 Father and Son
In order to protect Lord Li's safety during this outing, the Mingjing Division dispatched ten fourth-level warriors.
With only these ten people in the fourth realm, they can hold their own even if the other side has two masters.
But half of the masters of the Mingjing Division were led away by the archer, leaving only five.
Even if the princess and the others were added, they were still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers.
If our master turns against us, we will be doomed.
Everyone's attention was focused on the doorman, Old Huang.
Fortunately, after a brief thought, Old Huang shook his head and said, "I take money from others and help them get rid of their misfortunes. It just so happens that I haven't fought with a master for a long time. I hope you can let me have a good time..."
The black-robed master smiled grimly: "Come on then!"
He looked at the group of men in black and said in a deep voice, "Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
He did not attack Li Xuanjing because he knew that if he did not deal with this master, he would not have the chance to get close to Li Xuanjing.
As soon as the words came out, the two figures disappeared at the same time.
The two masters used boxing techniques. The true energy in their bodies was as vast as the ocean. Every collision of their punches would make a dull sound. Wherever the true energy reached, sand and rocks flew, and even cracks appeared on the ground.
The rest of the men in black surrounded Li Nuo.
Song Jiaren looked at Li Anning and said, "Protect your husband."
Because she was going up the mountain to pay tribute, she did not bring a sword.
Song Yiren didn't bring a sword either.
Li An Ning drew a circle on the ground to make a prison and protected Li Nuo and his son inside.
In her hand, a magic whip condensed out of thin air.
She did not make any other moves, just stood by their side.
In addition to the grandmaster, there are fifteen fourth-level assassins lying in ambush in secret.
But including the five strong men from the Mingjing Division, there are only eight people in the fourth realm who can fight. Excluding the butler Wu who stayed behind to protect Li Xuanjing, each person has to deal with at least two enemies.
Despite such a difficult situation, no one backed down.
Song Yiren walked towards a man in black.
The opponent's sword was sharp and as fast as lightning, and his sword moves were infinitely varied. It was obvious that he was a master of kendo.
At the moment of life and death, Song Yiren was distracted for a moment.
Because she was very familiar with this sword technique.
Li Nuo would teach her this sword technique dozens of times every other day, hand in hand.
This is Tianshan swordsmanship.
Standard Tianshan swordsmanship.
She was so familiar with the Tianshan swordsmanship that as soon as the opponent used the first three moves, she knew what his next three moves would be.
In this case, it's no big deal if you get distracted.
The black-clad assassin thrust out a sword, but the woman seemed to know his move and slightly turned sideways, dodging the sword.
Then, he suddenly felt a pain in his wrist and the sword slipped out of his hand.
In a flash, the sword in his hand appeared in the woman's hand.
The woman in front of him seemed to know his moves. After dodging in advance, she took advantage of the situation to strike him on the wrist and took away his weapon.
But he was only surprised for a moment. The next moment, he transformed his true energy into a sword and attacked again.
Although this method consumes a lot of true energy, they are numerous and powerful enough to eliminate all these people before their true energy is exhausted.
But that was just his idea.
When he started to attack again, Song Yiren had already seen his five moves.
With the same level of cultivation, if one's moves are seen through by others at a glance and one cannot change one's moves to break the deadlock, then life or death will only depend on a moment.
This is the biggest reason why the core martial arts of all major sects are prohibited from being passed on to outsiders.
A master who has mastered martial arts no longer needs to stick to specific moves, but below the level of a master, few people can break free from the shackles of moves.
The 72-style Tianshan sword technique requires that most of the true energy be poured into the sword, using attack as defense, only attacking and not defending.
The opponents cannot cope with such a fast sword and will only defend but not attack, so they naturally do not need to defend.
But if the opponent can cope with it, they will be in a very dangerous situation.
There is too little true energy to protect the body, and it is simply impossible to withstand attacks from the same level.
call out!
The long sword cut through the air and also cut through the neck of the black-clad assassin.
He covered his neck, blood gushing out from between his fingers. He stared at Song Yiren with wide eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Song Yiren was also a little surprised.
The opponent was at least in the fourth realm, with the same cultivation level as her, but it was so easy to kill him.
Even if he used half of his true energy to protect his body, without using the Tianshan sword technique, and just slashed with the sword, he would not have died so quickly.
She looked back and saw that two men in black had already died under Song Jiaren's sword.
Not surprisingly, they also used Tianshan swordsmanship.
This aroused her competitive spirit, and she swung her sword. After a few moves, another black-clad killer who used the Tianshan sword technique died at her hands.
She really likes these killers who use Tianshan swordsmanship.
It felt like her mother was testing her on her reading and her senior sister was secretly passing her the answers.
They were very familiar with all their moves, but they could not see through their tactics and could only wait to be killed.
In a flash, four companions died.
This made the remaining eleven men in black stop their attacks, and their exposed eyes showed expressions of fear.
Those four men were all at the fourth realm of cultivation, and their Tianshan swordsmanship had reached perfection. Yet they were easily killed by these two women. Could they be masters?
And three of the eleven were horrified.
There were originally eight Seven Evils of Tianshan. One of them died last time, and they became the real Seven Evils.
This time four more died at once, and the remaining three can only be called the Three Evils of Tianshan.
That is, provided they can get out alive.
Isn't it said that there is only one Grand Master at most? How come there are three!
The four men died too quickly, which greatly frightened the rest of the people. In an instant, they began to think of retreating.
This mission is just for money, it's not worth risking your life.
A man in black decisively fled into the distance, but he fled in the wrong direction. When he passed the battlefield between two masters, he was hit on the head by a punch from the doorman, Old Huang.
Ten people against seven. Even though the remaining killers in black still had the advantage in numbers, they were already scared out of their wits.
On the contrary, the five strong men from the Mingjing Division became more and more courageous as the battle went on. Even though they were outnumbered, they did not lose the upper hand.
Of course, another important reason is that the remaining three of the Seven Evils of Tianshan no longer dare to use the Tianshan swordsmanship.
Watching four fellow disciples die tragically and still using Tianshan swordsmanship, isn't that just courting death?
But the Tianshan School is originally a sword-fighting school, and they have been learning Tianshan swordsmanship since childhood.
After studying sword skills for decades, he suddenly couldn't use them anymore. He couldn't even use 50% of his strength. For a moment, he didn't even know what to do. He could only switch from offense to defense, fighting while retreating.
If they had met someone else, they could still retreat.
However, the top-level mental method of Sanqing Sect that Song Jiaren practiced made her much more powerful than the ordinary fourth realm. Although Song Yiren's strength was slightly inferior, she had been taught by the master since she was a child and had received skills from top masters. It was easy for her to deal with several killers from second-rate sects who could only exert half of their strength.
The three were soon seriously injured and lost their ability to move.
Within a short period of time, the situation on the field changed drastically.
The two masters were fighting fiercely. Not far away, rocks were flying and trees were falling.
The remaining seven killers no longer had the will to continue fighting.
Those two women who looked exactly the same, killing the fourth realm was like slaughtering a dog, which put too much psychological pressure on them...
"Walk!"
I don't know who shouted, but everyone stopped fighting and ran away in all directions.
Bang!
The first person who ran away just as he was flying in the air seemed to hit an invisible wall and was bounced back.
Before he could get up, the sword of a master from the Mingjing Division was already against his neck.
Whenever the other killers tried to escape, they would be knocked back by the invisible wall. They wanted to fight to the death, but there was always an invisible force that affected their actions.
For example, when you thrust out a sword with all your strength, your arm may be restrained by a force in the middle of the thrust, causing the move to be delayed.
If it were a normal day, this kind of impact wouldn't be a big problem.
But this is a battle with masters of the same level. Even a slight delay between moves can have fatal consequences.
Seeing that the situation on the field was becoming clearer, Li Anning entrusted Li Nuo to Butler Wu and joined the battle.
Although it was difficult for her to defeat them head-on, she could restrict their movements when they attacked.
Or they could draw a line on the ground to create a prison, condense a wall of laws, and block their way of escape.
I don't know what happened today, whether it was the confinement technique or the prison drawn on the ground, it was exceptionally smooth, and it seemed that the power was much greater than before. Could it be that her cultivation had improved invisibly?
Because there was always someone secretly influencing them, the killers were unable to exert their full strength and were soon covered in wounds.
They couldn't defeat them, and couldn't escape either, and were eventually captured one by one.
On the other side, the black-clad master who was fighting with the doorman Old Huang, his face changed under the black cloth covering his face.
A grandmaster, plus fifteen people in the fourth realm, especially the Seven Evils of Tianshan among them.
Even if those seven people joined forces, he had no chance of defeating them.
But unexpectedly, the Seven Evils of Tianshan, whom he had placed high hopes on, died the first.
Those two women seemed to be specialized in countering Tianshan swordsmanship.
There was another person who actually used the Legalist method to interfere.
Below the Grandmaster level, warriors of the same level can determine the winner in an instant, so how can they withstand such interference?
The mission failed. Not only would he not be able to collect the huge balance, but he would probably have to live in hiding from place to place for the rest of his life.
If Li Xuanjing doesn't die today, many people will die.
To murder an imperial official is to go against the Great Xia court, and even the Sanqing Sect does not have the courage to do it.
He could no longer stay in Daxia, but fortunately he was used to living a free and easy life and was not picky about where he lived.
The two men exchanged punches again, and the wind from their punches caused the ground to break into pieces. The black-clothed master flew backwards for several feet, but he did not stop. He flew down the mountain while laughing loudly, "Mr. Huang, that's all for today. We'll meet again later..."
The doorman, Old Huang, did not chase him.
If a Grandmaster is determined to escape, only a Semi-Saint of the Sixth Realm can stop him.
He came to Li Xuanjing and asked, "Sir, are you okay?"
"fine."
Li Xuanjing shook his head and looked at Li Nuo.
Li Nuo leaned in Li An Ning's arms. Although his face was a little pale, he didn't feel anything except some pain in his shoulder.
When he found out that the arrow was poisonous, he took the antidote pill immediately. After this incident, Li Nuo finally understood why he always carried antidote pills in his clothes.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine too."
The arrow just now was extremely dangerous.
Li Nuo can block ordinary arrows with just a thought.
But with his current level of cultivation, he could not stop the arrows infused with true energy from the strong men of the Fourth Realm.
Fortunately, the archer was very far away from them, and the true energy was wrapped around the arrow, causing it to be greatly attenuated. Otherwise, the arrow just now would have pierced through the father and son.
Five figures came from afar.
Seeing the mess here, the expressions of several people suddenly changed.
One of them bowed his head, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, I failed to do my job well and failed to catch the person who shot the arrow..."
Li Xuanjing waved his hand and said, "It's too far. It's not your fault. Let's go back first."
Butler Wu supported Li Nuo and said, "Master, I'll carry you on my back."
Li Xuanjing said, "Let me do it."
Butler Wu was slightly stunned, then he stepped back obediently.
Seeing his father squatting in front of him, Li Nuo was slightly stunned, then lay on his back.
He remembered that in his previous life, when his father was still alive, he would often carry him on his back like this.
There had always been a slight estrangement between him and his father in this life, but at this moment, this estrangement seemed to disappear silently.
He was just an ordinary man, his back was not broad, and when he encountered danger, he always needed Li Nuo to protect him. But for some reason, when lying on his back, Li Nuo could feel an unprecedented sense of security.
This kind of sense of security is something that even his wife can't give him...
