[Sword III] Seeking Wings

Seeing that there was no surprise or sadness in Chi Xiao's eyes looking back, Kuvatsam was subconsciously taken aback instead.

Before he had time to say "Your teammates have abandoned you, for the sake of the overall situation, you shouldn't be my enemy now." He saw that he was obviously extremely weak, and it was difficult for him to even stand up. Xiao shot like lightning, and took away the saber hanging from his waist.

As the golden iron clanked, the azure blue brilliance flashed, the icy wind roared, and the mighty sword energy pierced through the air, as if it could cut off the entire space where the enemy was.

Seeing that Kuwatsam was startled, he first planned to rely on his internal strength to take it hard, and then in a blink of an eye, he jumped to the side to avoid it. Chi Xiao nodded lightly, and on his free left hand, the fingertips wrapped in filaments slightly twitched. hook.

In the tyrannical sword aura that he used with all his strength at zero distance just now, he deliberately left a gap that was not so obvious, but enough for a master like Kuwatsam to discover.

According to Chi Xiao's inference, after Kuvatsam noticed this empty door, he would no longer spend a huge amount of internal force to defend, but would choose that direction to dodge - one is to ensure his absolute safety without loss, and the other is, In this way, at the next moment, directly from the opponent's weakest position, the most efficient instant counterattack.

——And in the direction of the gap, he has already used the displacement in the illusion just now to arrange in advance the blasting mechanism that he took from Tang Xiaoyi a few days ago, which is enough to blow anyone to pieces on the spot.

Now, seeing Kuvatsam flying back as expected, Chi Xiao immediately pulled the lead wire tied to his fingertips.

In an instant, flames ignited soaring into the sky, loud noises shook the forest, and blood and pieces of flesh splashed with thick smoke.

After a while, when the smoke cleared, Chi Xiao saw that the unusually tall Spike General was still standing upright.

Unscathed.

——Kuvatsam did retreat, but his position was a few steps away from where the gap was, that is, the center of the explosion.

——He also didn't relax his defense because of this opportunity to dodge as expected, so as to counterattack as soon as possible, but he was still in a vigilant state of fully using his internal force as a shield to confront the sword energy head-on.

Chi Xiao saw behind the figure of Kuvatsam with his arms outstretched, the Spikes who were firmly protected by him.

The strength of these soldiers is low, although the previous sword energy did not aim at them, the cold air dissipating along the path was enough to severely injure them on the spot.

Therefore, just at that moment, Kuvatsam directly gave up the good opportunity to fight for them.

Don't care about how to kill the enemy most efficiently, and don't think about the point of wasting energy to save these small soldiers who can only be used as background boards in this level of contest.

Therefore, by mistake, he avoided the trap of lore.

However, even so, at such a close distance from the explosion point, he should at least suffer serious damage.

But he didn't even have a crack in his armor.

——Because at the moment the mechanism was activated, the Spike soldier closest to it rushed out, using his own flesh and blood as a buffer.

"...I didn't expect that the Taoist leader could still have such wisdom and courage with only one ordinary iron now." Kuvatsam sighed softly, turned around and bowed his head to the dead wolf tooth soldier on the ground, and waved at the remaining soldiers. Waving, "You all stay away."

Seeing the Spike soldier leaving quickly with his companion's corpse, he waved his hand and drew out his long knife, and stepped forward.

Chi Xiao immediately braced himself up, and made another ultimate move.

However, Kuvatsam has a flexible body that is completely out of proportion to his body size. He is no longer caught off guard at this time. He can almost easily avoid all the sword energy, and quickly approach within four feet. Opponents who are good at close combat are suppressed to the ground.

"...I didn't expect Xiaodao Chang's sword to be so strong, but his sword moves are so unfamiliar." Kuvatsam held Chi Xiao's shoulder half-supported and half-clamped, with a surprised expression, "Does your father often bully you? You assign so much work that you don't have time to practice your sword properly?"

When Chi Xiao heard the words, his eyes subconsciously focused.

His basic sword skills are indeed very average.Because after inheriting Chixiao Honglian, the master considered his safety and asked him to avoid using the fierce sword directly as much as possible, and taught him to rely on induction to use the special skill of using sword energy with bare hands instead. In the past three years, he has not followed Practiced the sword in the usual way.

——He thinks that his aptitude and energy are limited. Since he is determined to accompany the fierce sword for life, other irrelevant and useless things should of course be discarded.

... Now, it is probably the fruit of what was planted back then.

Chi Xiao thought silently.

——But it is not a dead end.

In fact, the current him is still enough to summon Chixiao Honglian who is nearby by induction, and solve the current predicament.

Just like this, Tang Xiaoyi's position will be exposed.

So, can't do that.

Not now.

"...Okay, little Daoist, don't be sad." Kuvatsam stared at Chi Xiao, although he didn't dodge, but after all, he had a slightly dim gaze, and said softly as if comforting, "That kid Cangyun doesn't understand you, I I will understand."

He opened his palm and gently covered Chi Xiao's eyes.

Then suddenly a knife stabbed into his wrist holding the sword.

Seeing Chi Xiao's instantly pale face, Kuvatsam slightly looked away, but the blade in his hand accurately folded and twisted deeply, completely cutting off his tendons.

The long sword that Chi Xiao was holding tightly fell to the ground immediately, and where there was a clang, blood splashed like red rain.

"Sorry, I've offended you." Kuvatsam immediately leaned over and carefully pressed his bleeding wound along the edge of the knife, "I made this move because I don't want to fight you with swords, let alone increase the number of wounds in vain. Killing."

"Don't worry, Xiao Daoist, I've taken precautions, as long as you strictly rest, such a wound can heal like new within half a year according to your Central Plains Wulin's medical skills—so apart from suffering a little pain, it will only help you avoid the current situation." The fiercest battle."

He rummaged through the bandages and medicines in his pocket with one hand, and at the same time, he turned his head and pointed to the horses tied by him and the accompanying Spikes under the tree not far away, "I will leave the horses to you, wait for me Bandage it up for you, and when you wake up, ride on it and go."

However, just when Kuwatsam took out the anesthetic to feed Chi Xiao, the prisoner who thought he was dying and completely lost his mobility suddenly struggled desperately.

Kuvatsam hurried to stop it, but it was a step too late.The blade on Chi Xiao's wrist that hadn't been pulled out suddenly deflected with his struggle, and this time, it directly pierced the artery.

A large amount of blood spewed out, and a strong fishy smell instantly enveloped the space.

Suddenly seeing splashing blood coming towards him, Kuvatsam blinked subconsciously.

When he opened his eyes again in the next moment, he only saw a wall of crystals appearing out of thin air in front of him.

The crimson barrier shone like jade, and it stretched across the vast plane, almost reflecting the swaying reflection of the entire forest.The huge crystals are as pure and awe-inspiring as a miracle, but at the same time exude a strong fishy sweetness that seems to come from hell. For a while, the area is like yin and yang intertwined, which is indistinguishable from reality.

Facing this magnificent and weird scene, Kuvatsam was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what Chi Xiao's seemingly irrational self-mutilation was for—

The internal force of Chunyang Zixia Kungfu is Yin-cold, with Chi Xiao's cultivation base, it can condense Qi into frost.

——Therefore, nature can also condense blood into a wall.

Even, he, who can no longer hold a sword, is turning his own blood and life itself into the most dangerous weapon in the world.

Difficult to distinguish the kaleidoscope-like grotesque and complicated refraction on the crimson crystal with extremely irregular surface, Kuvatsam was shocked again that there were sharp edges and corners growing silently on it.

— just one more breath, and they could quietly pierce his throat.

Kuvatsam immediately jumped up, stepped back quickly, and swung the long knife in his hand towards the blood barrier with all his strength.

With a clear sound, the barrier was completely shattered.

The next moment, several tiny pieces of metal intersected with the scattered crystal fragments and flew towards against the wind.

They have a bright blue brilliance like stars, and their sharp edges draw strange curves in the air that seem to be unrestricted by gravity.Above the flight path, the cold air condensed into a dawdly white mist, and even the nearby leaves were frozen to the point where they stopped fluttering. Suddenly, it was as if time stopped suddenly.

——That is Scarlet Sky Red Lotus.

——Relying on the opportunity of the blood barrier to block Kuvatsam's sight, Chi Xiao finally got back his most reliable weapon without exposing Tang Xiaoyi.

"...Little Daoist, why are you doing this?"

It was not difficult for Kuvatsam to block the fragments of the blade that were already very unstable in terms of trajectory and speed, and turned his head to look at Chi Xiao, who was lying silently under the tree in the distance, covered in blood.

Even from the distance where Kuwatsam was, one could clearly see the cold sweat on Chi Xiao's forehead.Due to severe blood loss, his lips were as pale as paper like his cheeks, and his blood-stained eyes were out of focus, as if they would close forever in the next moment, unable to open them again.

However, he still raised his uninjured left hand to make a sword art, and manipulated all 24 blades with difficulty, trying to prevent Kuvatsam from advancing towards the official road.

Even, no matter how difficult it is for him to aim, the supply of internal energy fluctuates violently when he is almost on the verge of death, and the flight trajectories of all the blades are extremely irregular, unpredictable——

For a moment, it really blocked Kuwacham's footsteps.

It was the first time he came into contact with the legendary Chixiao Honglian in person, Kuvatsam looked at the sharp blue light marks surrounding him in surprise and carefully, and guessed their operating principle.

After Kankan dodged several sharply changing sword blade strikes, at the cost of the deep wounds on his side, he finally freed up to pick up two small stones in his hand, and hit them out with luck.

——Accurately hit Chi Xiao's left hand, which was pinching the sword formula, and all five fingers were broken.

Chi Xiao finally let go of his hand completely, without any further movements.

The blade in the air is still suspended and can still attack.

——Even because the trajectory is becoming more and more erratic, it has gradually become a deadly threat that can no longer be taken calmly.

Kuvatsam picked up the third stone.

In fact, he knew very well that although Chixiao Honglian was a divine sword with strange properties, it was not a supernatural monster after all.All of its actions obviously rely on the internal force of the sword owner as its energy source. Therefore, even if no specific manipulation principle has been found for a while, as long as Chi Xiao's internal force is sealed by the simplest acupuncture method, this seemingly weird and unsolvable problem will be eliminated immediately. Floating to kill.

However, Chi Xiao's current condition is extremely poor, relying on the last bit of internal energy to stop the bleeding, once the meridian is sealed, the severe injury of the severed artery on his right wrist can no longer be suppressed, and he is almost certain to die.

Kuwatsam gritted his teeth, swung his knife to defend, and looked for an opportunity for the hidden weapon to break through the blockade of the killing array.

He found many opportunities, many times he aimed successfully, many times he moved the stone to his fingertips, ready to go.

But never really did it once.

"...Xiao Daoist, do you know that just a few days ago, before I actually saw you, I had no intention of letting you live."

After pondering for a moment, Kuvatsam sighed deeply, then held the stone tightly in his palm, and wiped away the blood from his forehead scratched by the blade.

He recalled that at that time, he deliberately pushed the civilians into the illusion, which finally caused Chi Xiao to blame himself and collapse due to manslaughter, and he was seriously injured so far.At that time, he clearly wanted to use this vicious method to kill him without bloodshed.

But now, on the fifth day as planned, he entered the forest in person, and saw with his own eyes that Chi Xiao was still alive, able to fight, and still at the expense of himself, desperately covering his companion who had long since abandoned him, but it was difficult for him to get together again. The killing intent at that time.

In fact, although Kuvatsam appreciates Chi Xiao's character and is willing to save his life as much as possible for this, he will not delay the overall situation.

He could feel that the irrational hesitation in his heart at this time was actually because of the first time he met Chi Xiao just now, his expression when he just regained consciousness was not what it is now, as if he was calm and indifferent without pain.

Rather, it is very characteristic of vividness and softness.

That sense of familiarity from a long time ago...

Just like the past years of those who roamed the Central Plains, knowing that the vicissitudes have changed, they still remember it fresh.

Just when Kuwatsam was distracted, Chi Xiao seized the opportunity to gather his last strength, and manipulated the nearest blade to hit the opponent's throat.
