Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 199: Six Slashes of the Wandering Dragon, Do Not Use the Hidden Dragon

The wind swept away the clouds, and in an instant the clouds were stirred into a ball by an invisible force.

Then it turned into a giant dragon made of clouds.

The dragon head was right under Li Rui's feet.

The sword suddenly appeared.

The long knife between the knees had appeared in Li Rui's hand at some point. In an instant, the knife light formed a dense knife net in front of Li Rui, and there was not a single flaw on his body.

"Nine days of the first month, the latent dragon should not be used. The key is to strike back and take advantage of the enemy. Use defense as offense, wait for the right opportunity to move, and be both offensive and defensive."

Li Rui used the barrier sword to the extreme.

It really is like a barrier protecting the whole person, making it impossible to take action.

"As the saying goes, when practicing boxing, you must first learn to be beaten before you can beat others."

It is easy to practice using a knife and learn how to chop. Any young and strong laborer can do it the moment he picks up a knife.

But let’s talk about how to use a knife to defend.

I'm afraid that many good sword players may not be able to do it.

When traveling around the world, killing people is not the key, but not being killed is the most important thing.

Therefore, Li Rui’s first move was not to focus on attack, but only on defense.

This move is to take defense to the extreme.

At this time-

Then a loud shout was heard:
"Come!"

Gao Zhen's figure appeared in the dream almost the moment he finished speaking, and the familiar long sword, accompanied by tongues of fire, rushed towards Li Rui.

Li Rui was just defending.

In just over ten breaths, the two had already exchanged dozens of moves.

No matter how sophisticated Gao Zhen's swordsmanship is, or how powerful the fire shape is, it cannot penetrate Li Rui's sword net at all.

"It's done!"

Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised.

Self-created knife skills!
In an instant.

The sword nets in the sky suddenly dispersed, and a barrier sword pushed away the clouds and mist and stabbed directly into Gao Zhen's exposed waist and abdomen.

boom!
Gao Zhen turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.

This battle was much easier than the one in the mountains that night.

Li Rui was not satisfied with killing Gao Zhen.

"Come again!"

Squeak.

The door was pushed open just after noon, and the cool breeze made Li Rui lose all desire to sleep.

Yes.

He got up, or to be more precise, woke up from his dream.

The challenge to Jiang Linxian failed again.

It was still the familiar sword, which pierced through his forehead without any hindrance. It was too fast. Even if he used the first move of the Six Slashes of the Wandering Dragon, Hidden Dragon, it was useless.

That was an absolute crushing of combat power.

Jiang Linxian's sword was so fast. Sometimes fast means strong. He didn't even have time to react before he was already dead.

"call."

Li Rui slowly exhaled a breath, fetched some clean water to wash his face, and then slowly grasped the edgeless knife placed in the corner with his right hand.

The knife suddenly rose.

This time, there are no exaggerated cloud and fog effects.

But the barrier sword turned into a shadow and enveloped his body just like in the dream, and used its true energy to weave a dense sword net in front of him.

There is still some difference between practicing sword in dreams and practicing sword in reality.

Li Rui carefully comprehended it and silently deduced it in his mind.

It was not until the sky was slightly bright and Liang He and his men pushed the door open and walked out that he put away the knife.

When the three of them saw that Li Rui had already mastered the sword skills, they felt ashamed.

He said to the three disciples lightly:
"Young people sleep sweetly."

This time, the three of them fell silent again.

Finished the meal.

Li Rui then walked out of the house with his hands behind his back. As soon as he went out, he saw a group of people gathered outside Jiang Linxian's residence.

"Didn't Lord Jiang go out on an inspection tour?"

"Why are there so many people at the door?"

Be curious.

He also moved closer and soon found someone he knew in the crowd.

"Brother Wei, what's going on?"

Wei Ming turned his head and saw that it was Li Rui. He said, "What a strange thing. Lord Jiang's mansion was robbed."

"!!"

Li Rui became even more interested.

Who is Jiang Linxian?
It is no exaggeration to say that An Ning Mansion has the strongest combat power. Which blind thief would dare to come to An Ning Guard, and steal things from Jiang Linxian's house?

It was simply audacious.

Wei Ming was also eating melons while saying:

"I heard that a thief sneaked into Lord Jiang's residence last night. He was quite capable and managed to hide from the eyes and ears of the elders of Huaqing Sect. He actually got into Lord Jiang's room, but was injured by the sword intent left by Lord Jiang and escaped."

"Escape?"

Li Rui raised his eyebrows.

If the thief had been killed, the story would have been perfect.

But after escaping, things become very unusual.

A person who can shuttle back and forth in An Ningwei as if it were his own backyard can no longer be called a petty thief, but a master thief.

Moreover, there are not many people in the entire Yunzhou who can withstand Jiang Linxian's sword intent.

He is a master!

"Can you find out the identity of the thief?"

"That person was very good at Qinggong. Even Lord Cao couldn't catch up with him, and he didn't leave any clues."

Li Rui was secretly amazed.

"This is outrageous."

It seems that we should not underestimate the masters of the martial arts world.

"Did the thief steal anything?"

Wei Ming said, "It seems that they haven't succeeded yet. I heard that they have sent a fast horse to inform Lord Jiang."

After a while, Ning Zhongtian and Lu Jun came out of Jiang's house.

He waved his hand impatiently at the soldiers surrounding the door:
"It's all gone, everything is fine."

When everyone saw that there was nothing more to watch, they dispersed in groups of three or five.

Wei Ming took the opportunity to jog over to Ning Zhongtian and said, "Boss Ning, tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Seeing Wei Ming's impatient look, Ning Zhongtian couldn't help but laugh:
"Old Wei, aren't you afraid that your curiosity will kill you one day?"

But he still said, "That's what you saw. Someone broke into the military camp, and then was injured by Lord Jiang's sword intent, and ran away. It should be that he didn't have time to attack."

Wei Ming was immediately disappointed.

That's it?

Thunder, little rain.

After the little episode, Li Rui went straight to the Benhu Cavalry.

Qinghe, in a small house in an alley.

A woman with a charming figure and beautiful face bit her lower lip lightly, her face a little pale.

With trembling right hand, she took out a bottle of spiritual liquid from the cabinet beside her.

The lower lip was bitten so hard that it turned slightly white.

呲!
The spiritual fluid dripped onto the large piece of flesh and blood between the waist and abdomen.

"what"

A low moan of pain echoed in the room. The wound scabbed over at a speed visible to the naked eye. A flash of hatred flashed in her eyes:
"Jiang Linxian!"

The charming face of Thousand-Faced Rakshasa Liu Jiaoniang was distorted.

"The immortal energy is in An Ning Wei. If it is not in Jiang Linxian's residence, where else would it be?"

As her injuries gradually eased, she finally had time to think about the task assigned to her by the Blood Shadow Ancestor.

While thinking.

Liu Jiaoniang cursed softly, "Gao Zhen is such a waste!"

It doesn’t matter if the person is dead, but the immortal spirit is a matter of great importance and must not be known to outsiders.

Otherwise, the Ghost Sect will become the public enemy of the world.

The only advantage may be that no one in the world has ever seen what immortal energy looks like, so even if Jiang Linxian got immortal energy, he would not be able to recognize it and would just think it is some unknown treasure.

"But if it's not in Jiang Linxian's hands, where would it be?"

Liu Jiaonian took out a thumb-sized stone from her nightgown, which was tight around her body.

"The ancestor said that if the immortal energy appears within a hundred feet of this stone, there will be strange phenomena. The stone glowed last night, and the immortal energy is clearly in An Ningwei."

If Li Rui were here, he would be able to tell at a glance that the stone was the Immortal Seeking Stone.

Liu Jiaoniang was in a dilemma for a moment.

If Zhuang Renhe hadn't told her the news in advance, she wouldn't even dare to sneak into An Ning Wei.

Jiang Linxian's power is far more terrifying than what the world sees.

This was indeed the case. Immortal Jiang Lin was thousands of miles away, and he almost killed her with a trace of sword intent.

After this incident.

The An Ning Guards will definitely strengthen their defenses.

Jiang Linxian will also arrange more measures.

It was impossible to sneak in again.

"Something must be found!"

Liu Jiaoniang's eyes were determined. She couldn't help but shudder when she thought about facing the methods of the Blood Shadow Ancestor if she failed to complete the task.

Night falls.

There was a new figure in the courtyard of the small house.

Zhuang Renhe looked at the pale-faced Liu Jiaoniang sitting in the middle of the yard, with a hint of sneer on his face:
"Very good, he is not dead."

When he climbed up from the woman's body this morning, he saw Cao Wei hurriedly leading his men back to An Ning Wei.

I expected something to happen.

Later, I learned what happened last night through the spies in An Ningwei.

He waited until the evening before finding Liu Jiaoniang.

Liu Jiaoniang snorted coldly: "Mr. Zhuang, are you satisfied to see me get hurt?"

Although both of them are members of the Ghost Sect.

But there are actually differences in identity.

People like Liu Jiaoniang, who take the elders of the sect as their teachers, are called inner sect members and are one of the sect's own people. People like Zhuang Renhe are called outer sect members and the two sides actually have more of a cooperative relationship.

The inner sect naturally looks down on the outer sect.

Zhuang Renhe was not annoyed: "Why do you insist on going to An Ning Wei? I just want to help."

Liu Jiaoniang sneered in her heart:
"help?"

She would not believe a single word of this nonsense: "Master Zhuang, please do not bother with the secret order given by the ancestor."

"That's so embarrassing."

Zhuang Renhe looked at Liu Jiaoniang.

Finally, the movements of his hands stopped.

"This woman is the best at pretending. If we don't kill her, there will be endless troubles."

When Gao Zhen, the Ten Thousand Poison Ghost and the Four-Armed Demon Ghost gathered in Qinghe before, he realized that the Blood Shadow Ancestor seemed to be hiding something.

With Liu Jiaoniang's arrival, I became even more certain.

"So, what is it?"

Zhuang Renhe was really curious.

Liu Jiaoniang is at the peak of the sixth rank, and he is at the early fifth rank. If they were to fight head-on, ten Liu Jiaoniangs would not be his match. But the woman in front of him is best at lightness skills and disguise.

Really hard to kill.

Zhuang Renhe glanced at the "weak" woman in front of him calmly:
"I advise you to be careful. Even if you have to die, don't involve me. It's better for us not to meet in the future."

He is the second in command of the banker.

The banker and the Ghost Sect have a cooperative relationship.

Perhaps he would be somewhat polite to the big shots of the Ghost Sect.

Twelve Blood Disciples?
He really didn't take it seriously. It would be best if he could make friends with the Blood Shadow Ancestor, but if he couldn't get close to him, he wouldn't force it.

Looking at Zhuang Renhe, he turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Liu Jiaonian remained leaning on the couch for a long time, until she confirmed that Zhuang Renhe had left, then she showed a hint of fatigue.

If she had revealed any flaw just now, she would have been dead now.

"The man surnamed Zhuang deserves to be killed!"

A murderous intent flashed in her eyes, but she quickly thought of another question:
"Who took away the fairy energy?"
