Chapter 1129: Night Ambush
Xiao Cheng's fists tightened, and at this time, he couldn't wait to dismantle Tan Jianyun immediately, although his heart was not so fragile, and he couldn't stand a little cynicism, but this Tan Jianyun was really disgusting to him, especially the contemptuous tone, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
However, he had to admit that Tan Jianyun had the qualifications to say this, and with his current strength, he was not Tan Jianyun's enemy at all, so he felt very aggrieved.
The Sword Pavilion powerhouses around Xiao Cheng all showed indignant looks, and at this time, Li Chengyi and Lin Yueran had already arrived.
Both of them were aware of the friction between Xiao Cheng and Tan Jianyun, Lin Yueran was about to say something, Li Chengyi waved his hand, stopped Lin Yueran, and showed an elegant smile: "It turned out to be the head of Tan, I haven't seen you for a long time, and please pay attention to your identity, although my Sword Pavilion is friendly, I am not afraid of any sect, and the Huashan faction is divided into three, it is a pity, it is emotional!"
Although Li Chengyi's words were tactful, the meaning was clear, the Huashan faction had been divided into three, and it had long since lost its prestige, with the strength of the Sword Pavilion, he could step on the Sword Gate at any time, and hoped that Tan Jianyun would better not mess around.
Compared with status and power, Tan Jianyun was not as good as Li Chengyi, and when he heard Li Chengyi's words, his face turned blue and white for a while, and he squeezed out an ugly smile: "Hehe, thank you for the reminder!"
Li Chengyi didn't answer, directly ignored Tan Jianyun, and left with the disciples of the Sword Pavilion. Li Chengyi's doing this made Tan Jianyun's self-esteem even more damaged, and his face became more and more ugly.
"Do it yourself, fatten up a little!" Xiao Cheng passed by Tan Jianyun's side, sneered, and walked away after speaking. Leaving Tan Jianyun's face blue and white for a while.
Tan Jianyun's eyes shone with cold light, and he stared at Xiao Cheng's back, if it weren't for the blood contract. I can't wait to kill Xiao Cheng immediately.
He was jealous and hateful of Xiao Cheng, jealous that Xiao Cheng could be so close to Gu Qinghong, this jealousy was like a thorn deep in his heart, he was not happy if he didn't pull it out, and he hated Xiao Cheng for humiliating him in person.
Tan Jianyun looked at the three powerhouses of the same sect beside him, and said in a low voice: "Remember, enter the inner ruins." As long as there is a chance, you must kill Xiao Cheng. Don't take it lightly, this bastard is extremely cunning and not so easy to kill!"
Although Tan Jianyun didn't know what hole cards Xiao Cheng had, he knew that Xiao Cheng was not so easy to die. He spent money to hire killers from the Hunting Immortal Hall, and the strength of the thirty killers at that time was stronger than Xiao Cheng, but they all died in the hands of Xiao Cheng, which gave him a deeper understanding of Xiao Cheng.
"Yes, master!" The three of them nodded yes, but their expressions were a little disapproving, although Xiao Cheng was a leader in the younger generation, ranking in the top three in strength, it was nothing to them at all. A sword can kill it.
Tan Jianyun's voice paused, hesitated a little, and finally said, "The three of you." Whoever killed Xiao Cheng, I will nominate the next leader!"
The three of them were stunned, they couldn't believe their ears, their eyes showed a fanatical light, they didn't expect Tan Jianyun to spend such a big price to kill an insignificant little character.
After the three of them were ecstatic, they were a little puzzled. Tan Jianyun is now out of the seventh order, and it stands to reason that he can still be the head of the house for a long time. How can the next head be promoted, even if he wants to be promoted, it will only be after Tan Jianyun breaks through the realm of distraction.
Tan Jianyun seemed to see the doubts of the three of them, showed a bright smile, and said arrogantly: "Three years at most!"
The three of them immediately understood what Tan Jianyun meant, and they were all shocked to break through the distraction and become a half-venerable within three years, you know, when it comes to the out-of-body realm, it takes several years to break through the first order, and Tan Jianyun can break through to the half-venerable within three years, which is really unbelievable.
"I must kill Xiao Cheng, avenge the master, and maintain the dignity of the master!" The three of them nodded at the same time, their voices were full of excitement, killing Xiao Cheng can be the head, this is too easy, looking at Xiao Cheng's back in the distance, his eyes became extremely greedy.
Tan Jianyun saw that the three of them were extremely excited, and showed a cold smile, this time Xiao Cheng will definitely die, in the inner ruins, Xiao Cheng has nowhere to escape, he really can't wait.
Since he learned that Xiao Cheng had broken through Yuanying, he began to worry, and he didn't dare to give Xiao Cheng nine years, and after nine years, he didn't know what realm Xiao Cheng had reached, and he was unwilling to take this risk.
......
It was night, the moon was like water, Xiao Cheng and Ye Lingdie stood in the private room of Yuqiong Building, although they were not separated for long, but Ye Lingdie felt like a year, gently snuggled in Xiao Cheng's arms, and enjoyed the tranquility of this moment.
Xiao Cheng gently hugged Ye Lingdie's slender waist and looked at the bright moon outside the window together.
"Ling'er, in fact, I don't think you need to venture into the inner ruins, what's the benefit, I'll just bring it back for you!" Xiao Cheng stroked Ye Lingdie's smooth lower abdomen and persuaded with a smile.
There are dangers lurking in the inner ruins, Xiao Cheng really doesn't want Ye Lingdie to enter the inner ruins to adventure, in the inner ruins, he has some difficulties in protecting himself, and he is worried that he will not be able to protect Ye Lingdie's thoughtfulness when the time comes.
Ye Lingdie glanced at Xiao Cheng and shook his head: "Why do you say that?" My master also built that I don't want to enter the inner ruins, but I still want to try, I don't want to give up this opportunity, it doesn't matter if I can get anything, I don't want to leave regrets." ”
Seeing that Ye Lingdie insisted on going, Xiao Cheng no longer persuaded him, Ye Lingdie was not a person who easily changed his mind, and he understood Ye Lingdie's thoughts, Ye Lingdie said that he didn't want to leave regrets, in essence, he wanted to enter the inner ruins with him and help him more.
Ye Lingdie seemed to suddenly remember something, took out a wax-sealed bamboo tube, sent it to Xiao Cheng, and said, "I almost forgot, the man in black came to Taiyi Palace again, handed over this bamboo tube to me, and let me pass it on to you!"
"Oh?" Xiao Cheng raised his eyebrows, remembering the man in black again, two months ago, the man in black had sent him a bamboo tube, because of the news of the man in black, he rushed to the canyon in time to solve the crisis of Ning Qianxi's two sisters, if there was no news provided by the man in black, God knows what would have happened.
The information of the man in black was very accurate, Xiao Cheng had to pay attention to it, and immediately opened the bamboo tube, there was a small note in the bamboo tube, which read: "Don't enter the inner ruins, if you enter, you will die, remember to remember!"
Xiao Cheng frowned, this sentence is extremely certain, as long as he enters the inner ruins of Kunlun, he will definitely die, obviously the organization or individual who wants to kill him is extremely powerful, and it is not something he can compete with at all.
What is the origin of this man in black, which side does he belong to, and why does he report to himself?
Xiao Cheng was extremely puzzled, according to his speculation, the man in black definitely did not belong to the Huashan Sword Sect, and only three Yuanying peak powerhouses entered the inner ruins of the Huashan Sword Gate, and they couldn't kill him foolproofly, and the individual or organization that wanted to kill him should be more powerful and secretive.
"Or the man in black last time?" Xiao Cheng looked at Ye Lingdie and asked in a deep voice.
"Well, judging from the breath, it's the man in black last time!" Ye Lingdie nodded, looked at the words on the paper, and wondered: "Why didn't this person make it clear?"
"There should be something unspeakable, or what he knows is not exact!" Xiao Cheng analyzed.
Judging from the situation in the canyon last time, this man in black is likely to belong to the evil side, but there was another group of forces that night.
The origin of this force has not been clarified so far, I don't know what they want, what is the goal, this man in black may also be from this dark force!" Xiao Cheng shook his head, and finally did not guess why.
"Anyway, there are a lot of people who want to kill me, take one step at a time, the inner ruins must go!" Xiao Cheng simply didn't bother to think about it, just be careful when entering the inner ruins, it is impossible to give up the plan to enter the inner ruins because of a little difficulty.
Ye Lingdie showed a look of concern, and wanted to stop talking, wanting to dissuade Xiao Cheng, but in the end she swallowed the words back, she knew Xiao Cheng's purpose for entering the inner ruins, and knew that Xiao Cheng would not give up no matter what.
At this moment, Xiao Cheng suddenly noticed a faint killing intention, crunched, and a soft sound came from next door, Xiao Cheng's expression changed, and he was alarmed, and the secret path was not good, so he immediately rushed out of the window with Ye Lingdie in his arms.
Xiao Cheng had just rushed out of the window, and there was a loud bang behind him, boom, and the entire Yuqiong Building was shaken, and countless swords appeared where Xiao Cheng and Ye Lingdie were standing just now, and the intertwined swords crushed the entire third layer, and pieces of wood flew everywhere.
A qiē came too quickly, Xiao Cheng hurriedly glanced behind him, his hands and feet were cold, if he hadn't reacted quickly just now, I am afraid that he would have been crushed by the incomparable knife in an instant, even if he had the technique of green mountains and water, he would not be able to survive.
"Huhuhu......" Ten black shadows broke through the wooden wall of the building, and rushed directly towards Xiao Cheng, who had not yet flown away, each holding a Tang horizontal knife in his hand, under the moonlight, the knife light was shining, full of Xiao Killing's atmosphere.
The movements of the ten black-clothed men were uniform, obviously after special training, and their eyes locked on Xiao Cheng like eagle vultures. Xiao Cheng glanced at the ten people, and he already knew the identities of the ten people without guessing, and the ten people were all killers of the Hunting Immortal Hall.
Once the Hunting Immortal Hall accepted the murder commission, he would not die, knowing that he would kill the target until he knew that the last hunt for Xiao Cheng ended in failure, and he had been dormant for more than half a year, and he chose to shoot today, trying to kill him with one blow, if it wasn't for Xiao Cheng's high vigilance, I'm afraid that ten killers would have succeeded.
Xiao Cheng quickly flew towards the wide city wall not far away, and at the same time let go of his divine sense to investigate, the cultivation of the ten people had reached the middle realm of the Yuan Infant, and the strength was extremely strong, and it would not be a problem to kill a Yuan Infant peak powerhouse.
Liexian Tang really put a lot of effort into it, and had a clear understanding of his strength, but the other party obviously only knew the strength expressed by his identity as a junior uncle, and did not understand his true strength, otherwise the killer sent would be stronger, at this time, the benefits of Xiao Cheng's hidden strength were reflected.
Ten killers quickly caught up with Xiao Cheng, after all, Xiao Cheng was still with Ye Lingdie, the speed was not fast, and he didn't plan to escape, although the strength of the ten people was strong, he was not invincible.
