Chapter 828: Killing the Grandmaster
Sword qi, powerful internal force through the transformation of the sword weapon is released, sharp as a blade, changeable.
Only when the swordsmanship is at its peak, and the internal force is extremely profound, can the sword qi be released. Although there are thousands of swordsmen in the world, there are only a handful of them who can release their sword energy.
Xu Minghao attaches great importance to Gao Zhengyang, although the other party is unknown, but in the past thirty years, the Xuantian Sect has risen rapidly, and it has become the largest sect in the Chu State in a very short time. Gao Zhengyang is said to be the first swordsman in Xuantian, which shows his strength!
Therefore, Xu Minghao did not hesitate to urge the sword qi and pressed towards the other party.
The light released by the sky-piercing rocket quickly dissipated, and the peach forest returned to its deep darkness.
Xu Minghao held his sword and walked, not slowly, but his divine will relied on the subtle sensing of sword qi to lock on Gao Zhengyang who was hidden in the darkness.
In fact, at the level of Xu Minghao, he already has the magic power of generating electricity in a virtual room. Although the peach forest is dark, when Xu Minghao is operating his internal force, there is not much difference from daylight. It's just that the level of detail is a little worse.
It's just that the peach forest is dense with branches and leaves, and there are obstacles everywhere, and it can't lock Gao Zhengyang's location for a while. It can only rely on the subtle induction of the sword qi.
The seventeen swordsmen of the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect lined up in a winged shape with Xu Minghao as the forward, and a group of people were within seven steps of each other, forming a large net and going forward.
In the face of a top-level swordsman, everyone was extremely cautious. Swordsmen clash, maybe a single look will be divided into life and death. The stronger the swordsmanship, the less careless you will be when you fight.
Many swordsmen were silent, their neat and powerful footsteps, but with indomitable ferocity and slaughter.
Xu Minghao, who was walking in the forefront, raised his voice and said, "I heard that Your Excellency is the first swordsman of Xuantian Sect, why don't you stand up and have a fair duel." With my Xu Minghao's reputation, I guarantee that no one else will interfere in the battle!"
Gao Zhengyang, who was standing behind a thick peach tree, smiled silently, a fair duel, this kind of talk can only deceive the ignorant hot-blooded boy.
If Xu Minghao really cared so much about his reputation, how could he ambush him in Taolin and prepare to besiege him. If you really care about reputation, how can you bring someone to attack Princess Qingling.
To put it bluntly, everyone is a person all the way, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Even if the other party really wanted a fair duel, Gao Zhengyang was not interested.
Fighting, the difference is victory and defeat, life and death. It has nothing to do with reputation. The sword is nothing but a weapon to achieve the goal. So much for.
Giving the sword a more sacred meaning seemed boring to Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang watched the other party gradually approach, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and his hands silently reached into the skin bag on his waist and felt out a smoke bomb.
This smoke bomb will release a large amount of toxic black smoke when burned.
Gao Zhengyang didn't need fire, and with a pinch of his palms, a blue fire came out of the smoke bomb. was immediately thrown by him not far in front of Xu Minghao.
When Xu Minghao saw a large amount of black smoke coming out, he knew that something was wrong. The opponent is insidious, does not care about the honor of the swordsman, and is the most difficult kind of enemy.
"Form a formation, beware of ambush ......"
Xu Minghao reminded him, and he drew his sword and rushed through the smoke and rushed directly towards Gao Zhengyang's location.
Gao Zhengyang turned around and dodged out from behind the tree, and did not avoid rushing directly at Xu Minghao. He didn't come out just now because he was afraid of the other party, but because he didn't want to openly stand up as a target.
can solve Xu Minghao, the strongest person first, and the rest of the swordsmen will collapse without attacking.
The billowing smoke blocked the eyes of many swordsmen of the Wind Thunder Sword Sect, but it couldn't stop Xu Minghao, who was at the forefront.
When he saw Gao Zhengyang take the initiative to come over, he was also overjoyed. He was afraid that Gao Zhengyang would avoid the strong and weak and go to trouble other swordsmen. However, the other party actually had the courage to take the initiative to find him, which really surprised him.
The sword in Xu Minghao's hand flickered, and the bright sword blade immediately turned into thousands of brilliant silver snakes dancing wildly.
This style of wind dance is not used to attack the enemy, but to confuse the enemy's ears and eyes. The blade of the sword changed but did not move, only waiting for the opponent to respond to the move and then find a gap to enter, killing the enemy with one blow.
Ordinary swordsmen pay attention to fastness, accuracy and ruthlessness, and clever swordsmen talk about spirit. Xu Minghao's swordsmanship has already been superb, but it is a combination of reality and reality, and he has already achieved the magic of swordsmanship.
Gao Zhengyang couldn't see through the changes in Xu Minghao's swordsmanship, but he didn't need to see through it either. This kind of sword change is already controlled by the mind, and no one can completely predict the opponent's sword path.
This is not a game of chess, the two sides are calm and slowly calculated. In the battle of swordsmen, life and death are between the slightest margin. There is no time to calculate slowly.
Gao Zheng ** ignored Xu Minghao's moves, and just stabbed him with a sword in the chest.
He didn't know how many times he had practiced this stabbing technique. The blade of the sword was as straight as a silver light, piercing straight into the cold light that was dancing in the sky of the opponent.
Xu Minghao's eyes froze, Gao Zhengyang's swordsmanship was fierce and fierce, and it was far beyond his expectations. The sword was so fast that he didn't have time to think too much.
It's just that he instinctively flips his wrist and fights the sword, and the person also dodges sideways at the same time.
The handover of the two swords sent out a flash of electric light, which instantly illuminated the faces of the two people.
It was only at this time that Xu Minghao could see Gao Zhengyang's appearance and his deep eyes clearly.
The other party's depth and coldness made Xu Minghao's heart tense again. Almost instinctively, he unleashed the Nine Slashes with the Wind.
Just when the lightning flashed in the air, Xu Minghao drummed up his internal strength, and took advantage of the staggered swords of the two swords to perform entanglement changes, and forcibly opened a gap between Gao Zhengyang's heavy and fierce sword blades.
The Qingfeng Sword took advantage of the situation to rush forward, stabbing nine swords in an instant. The sword skills that have been tempered for thousands of years have been exerted to the extreme at this time. The body completely followed the trajectory of the sword moves, pointing directly at the vital points around Gao Zhengyang's body.
As long as any sword is successful, Gao Zhengyang can be solved.
Gao Zhengyang's left hand sword took the right sword, and the right sword that was twisted was intertwined with the left sword, sealing the forward route of the Qingfeng Sword. The twin swords sparkled brightly, and they were unexpectedly sealed with the wind nine times in a row.
With the wind nine slashes, the **** sword light fell, and Gao Zhengyang's double swords had already been slashed back. This time, Gao Zhengyang's double swords slashed like thunder and lightning, and the surging sword light continued into a cloud of Mingyao sword light, completely submerging Xu Minghao.
Xu Minghao, who failed to kill the enemy in one move, immediately fell into passivity, the breeze sword danced wildly, and the person kept changing his direction like a ghost, and retreated backwards.
Two swordsmen noticed that something was wrong and attacked from both sides with swords.
was swept by the sword light, and the two swordsmen immediately broke their swords, shattered into several pieces and flew out.
The bloody breath swept away. Even if the thick black fog can't hide it.
The clanging sound of the sword blades suddenly stopped, and the continuous sword light also dissipated at the same time.
Xu Minghao held the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, his narrow phoenix eyes stared at Gao Zhengyang, and his face was complicated, as if he was frightened and confused.
The crown on his head had been cut off, and there was an extra sword mark on his cheek that was deep and bone-seeing. The gorgeous dark blue robe also counted with blood-colored sword marks.
The most serious injury was the deep sword hole in his heart, which had penetrated his inner armor and heart glasses, leaving a penetrating wound in his heart.
It is also Xu Minghao's deep internal strength, and he can barely support his body at this time.
"Your swordsmanship is good, but it's too slow......"
Gao Zhengyang still admires Xu Minghao's swordsmanship, the sword can change with the situation, flexible and spicy. If it weren't for the Heavenly Punishment Twin Swords in his hand, he wouldn't have won so easily this time.
The Heavenly Punishment Twin Swords were unusually heavy and sharp, and it was only then that the power of the Twin Swords Slash was fully brought into full play. No matter how profound Xu Minghao's internal strength was and how exquisite his swordsmanship was, he was also embarrassed by the double swords, and he had no spare strength to make any changes.
If it weren't for the Qingfeng Sword in Xu Minghao's hand, which was also a famous sword, it would have been cut to pieces by Gao Zhengyang a long time ago.
Xu Minghao touched his heart and smiled bitterly: "Poor half of my life practicing swords, my body is dead and everything is empty." ”
Before he finished speaking, he couldn't suppress his injuries any longer, and the blood gushed out like a spring in his heart, and the person fell to the ground at the same time.
Gao Zhengyang didn't have so much emotion, he fought with a sword, either killing or being killed. So much for!
He rolled his gaze and struck into the smoke.
The swordsmen of the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect had already formed a sword formation in a team of three, which was covered by thick smoke, and everyone only heard the dense sound of swords, but Xu Minghao and Gao Zhengyang kept shifting directions, and they couldn't help if they wanted to, let alone that Xu Minghao was dead.
Seeing the figure rushing over, several swordsmen who formed a sword formation immediately attacked without hesitation, and the three of them raised their hands at the same time to throw three-edged flying arrows.
The three-edged arrow, which weighs half a catty, is no more than six inches long, but it is extremely powerful under the internal force. In a short distance, the speed is beyond the range of eye capture, and it can easily penetrate light armor.
Martial arts masters are not soldiers, and very few people wear armor. What's more, a swordsman can wear a sword, but he is not qualified to wear armor. The swordsmen of the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect have become accustomed to using hidden weapons to solve enemies in battle.
can pull away and bombard the opponent, but he prefers to fight with the opponent in close quarters, which is purely a brain disease. Such fools will soon be eliminated in the cruel rivers and lakes.
Of course, there were also some extremely talented swordsmen who survived. But this peerless genius is a minority after all.
The three swordsmen shot at the same time, and the six flying arrows locked Gao Zhengyang in all directions. This is also after thousands of cooperations, in order to have such a tacit understanding in battle.
Gao Zhengyang's double swords turned and accurately slashed the four most threatening arrows. With a force under his feet, even the person with the sword rushed into the Jian opponent's sword formation.
The swordsman at the head arrived very calmly and steadily drew his sword and slashed. Gao Zhengyang went down with a sword, and the Heavenly Punishment Sword easily cut off the opponent's blade, cutting off his neck and shoulders diagonally.
The two swordsmen who rushed over next to him also arrived, Gao Zhengyang's double swords were divided, and the cold sharp sword light cut through the waists of the two people, and the two of them immediately split into four sections.
One by one, the sword array has been broken.
The two sides are far apart in terms of swordsmanship, and there is an essential difference in strength and reaction speed. Plus the invincible Heavenly Punishment Twin Swords. The gap between the two sides is even greater.
Although the three swordsmen of the Wind Thunder Sword Sect formed a sword formation, they were powerless to compete with Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang exhaled a turbid breath and continued to pounce on the other swordsmen without stopping.
Billowing black smoke obscured their vision, weakening the swordsmen's perception of the outside world.
Gao Zhengyang has strong internal strength, and when he moves under his feet, he is silent, like a phantom. It was difficult for the swordsmen to spot him in advance. Gao Zhengyang has sharp ears and eyes, and he can judge the other party's location just by the sound of breathing.
Although there are many swordsmen in the Wind Thunder Sword Sect, they are divided here, and they can't really give full play to their numerical advantage.
Before the formed sword array could exert its power, it was rushed by Gao Zhengyang's sword light, and it fell in pieces, and the sword shattered and died.
After the third group of sword formations was destroyed, the other swordsmen also noticed that something was wrong. One of them blew a sharp brass whistle and beckoned all those who came to gather him.
There were eight swordsmen left, and they quickly gathered together.
One person said with a shocked face: "Master Xu is dead!"
The faces of several other swordsmen changed drastically, although they had already guessed before, they were still shocked to hear the news of Xu Minghao's death with their own ears.
Most of the swordsmen here have learned swords from Xu Minghao, and to them, Xu Minghao is simply an invincible sword god.
They never thought that someone would be able to kill Xu Minghao in a head-on battle.
Xu Minghao's death not only made everyone sad, but also destroyed their self-confidence. Even Xu Minghao is not an opponent, what should they do.
A person said with red eyes: "What are you afraid of, we have to avenge Master Xu!"
Everyone nodded yes in unison. They won't be able to run this time, so they might as well fight with their lives to avenge Xu Minghao! If they can kill the enemy, they still have a way to live.
"Everyone is here......"
Gao Zhengyang parted the black smoke and slowly paced out, the blood on the double swords in his hands was still dripping.
"Kill him!" a swordsman shouted with his sword raised.
Many swordsmen who had already prepared raised their hands to shoot flying arrows together, and one of them also took out a chain crossbow and shot ten crossbow arrows in one go.
Gao Zhengyang's body turned strangely, and he had avoided most of the semi-hidden weapons. In the next step, the cold light of the twin swords shone brightly, and they had already rushed in front of everyone. Many swordsmen also raised their swords and surrounded them.
Gao Zhengyang's two swords were intertwined in one of them, and a pair of swordsmen were rolling out, almost cutting their bodies in two terrifying sword marks, killing them instantly.
The other swordsmen turned a blind eye and continued to swing their swords and attack. Gao Zhengyang's double swords swirled, and the sword blades swept through the throats, hearts, and mouths of the three swordsmen in a row.
The devastating slash also made the remaining three swordsmen lose their fighting spirit. But before the three of them could escape, Gao Zhengyang's twin swords had already arrived.
In a few breaths, Gao Zhengyang penetrated the sword array and slashed all the swordsmen. Behind him, there was a cold and sharp sword light that did not disperse.
Gao Zhengyang slowly turned around, raised his hands, and the double swords shot into the scabbard behind his back like eyes.
Eight swordsmen have turned into corpses all over the ground. The look of the crowd was shocked, fearful, or angry, and they all stayed at the last moment before death.
Gao Zhengyang's eyes swept over, and he was not moved at all. But this scene made him feel that something was missing, and he thought for a while and said to himself: "It seems that there are two less passers-by......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
At this time, there was a loud bang outside. The erupting flames lit the night sky red.
Gao Zhengyang turned his head to look over and found that the explosion was coming from the direction of the back door in the back garden.
In order to protect Princess Qingling, a large area of houses was bulldozed at the back gate and a simple military camp was established, in which the soldiers who escorted the princess were stationed.
Looking at this, it should be a large group of people storming the barracks.
Although the distance was far away, Gao Zhengyang also heard bursts of screams and shouts of killing.
It seems that there are at least a few hundred people on the other side before they dare to attack the barracks head-on.
Gao Zhengyang was a little surprised, this is the capital of Xuanshui Prefecture, the center of a state. Someone would dare to make such a big battle here.
The shouts of killing in that direction were getting louder and louder, and it looked like the princess guards were about to be defeated.
"It's not good......"
Gao Zhengyang hurriedly walked back to the Aoba Building, and when he went up to the fourth floor, he saw Zuo Wei, a female official with a panicked face.
When Zuo Wei saw Gao Zhengyang coming up, her face was also full of surprise. She waited here to answer Father-in-law Zhang, but she didn't expect Gao Zhengyang to come back alive.
"You seem surprised to see me?" Gao Zhengyang asked.
Zuo Wei forced herself to calm down: "I was still looking for you just now, where have you been? It's so messy outside, what's going on?"
"Actually, I heard what you and Gonggong Zhang said. ”
Gao Zhengyang said indifferently.
Zuo Wei was even more panicked, she took two steps back and said nervously: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Before the words fell, Zuo Wei's eyes suddenly lit up. She was so frightened that she wanted to retreat, but there was a sharp pain in her heart, and all the strength in her body seemed to be drained at once.
She screamed and threw her legs to the ground. Realizing that she was going to die, she couldn't help but burst into tears, moaning, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die......"
Gao Zhengyang ignored Zuo Wei and strode into the princess's room.
Princess Qingling had already put on a tight-fitting sword suit, and even held a sword in her hand. A posture ready to fight.
Seeing Gao Zhengyang come in, Princess Qingling was obviously relieved, and she forced her composure and said, "What's going on outside?"
"It looks like there's an army organized to attack here. ”
Gao Zhengyang said: "It's not safe here, we have to leave as soon as possible." ”
Princess Qingling nodded, not asking more. followed behind Gao Zhengyang very obediently.
When passing by Zuo Wei's corpse, Princess Qingling hesitated, but finally didn't say anything.
Gao Zhengyang took Princess Qingling out of Qingye Building, when he heard a bang from behind, and a large section of the wall collapsed. A group of men with swords and shields rushed in.
Something was burning outside, and the back garden was lit up by a large fire.
The group of people with their backs to the fire, a group of people who couldn't see their faces clearly, were like evil spirits rushing out of hell.
Princess Qingling was a fierce spirit, and instinctively hid behind Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang looked at the front courtyard and then at the crowd that kept pouring in, and his face was indifferent and cold.
He turned his head sideways and said to Princess Qingling: "It seems that there is no place to escape, you just stay here." ”
Princess Qingling clenched her sword and said calmly: "My martial arts are also very powerful, I can help." ”
"Just stay here and don't run around. Gao Zhengyang advised.
"Then what can I do?" Princess Qingling said, "I want to help." ”
Gao Zhengyang thought for a while and said, "If you really want to help, you can shout 666...... loudly."
"Ah......" Princess Qingling was stunned, not knowing what this meant.
