Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 251 The old man draws his sword and puts an end to it

"Master Zhuang, Li Rui has left the city."

The voice was filled with rapid, severe gasps.

"Just now, even though I was wearing night clothes, I was still spotted by the brothers who were following me."

The lean and strong man had excitement in his eyes.

God knows how many cold winds he endured every night outside An Ning Wei. After waiting for half a month, he finally waited for the old turtle to come out.

Zhuang Renhe's calm expression changed slightly, showing joy, excitement, and cruelty.
"I see."

After saying this, there was no further movement.

"Sir, why don't you take action now?"

The sturdy man was confused for a moment when he saw Zhuang Renhe's appearance.

Soldiers are valuable and quick.

Li Rui had just left the city, and now was a good time to hunt him down.

Why not set off now?

Zhuang Renhe showed a hint of impatience: "Go down."

"Yes."

The sturdy man took a deep breath, bowed, then turned and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

After leaving.

Zhuang Renhe then stood up, walked to the rosewood shelf, and turned the porcelain cup slightly.

The wooden frame turned silently, revealing a deep and dark cave.

Zhuang Renhe walked into the secret room.

The secret room was empty at this time, clean and tidy. There was a row of wooden racks next to it, with shiny torture instruments and night clothes on them.

He put on his nightgown skillfully and picked up the long knife hanging on the wall.

Not bad.

Everyone thought that he, who came from a noble family, used a sword, and he also carried a sword on his waist when he went out.

It seems that anyone who comes from a literary background should use a sword.

This was almost something the people of Yu were accustomed to.

But he actually used a knife.

As the magistrate and a person who was being trained by the banker, he had almost no need to fight with others, so he seldom used a knife.

And everyone who had seen him use a knife was already dead.

Every time he moved his knife, it meant someone was going to die.

Zhuang Renhe did all this silently.

Then he disappeared into the secret passage at the other end of the secret room.

"Second uncle?!"

On the pitch-black official road.

When the two young men turned their heads, they saw Zhuang Renhe appear behind them.

'So fast! '

The thought came to their minds at the same time.

They were assigned to monitor Li Rui. They had just sent out the intelligence tonight and had not been out of the city for long when Zhuang Renhe arrived.

"Uncle, the man called Li Rui went in this direction, and he is at most half a mile away from us."

"He was too cautious. We didn't dare to follow too closely."

One of the young men spoke in a low voice.

"it is good."

Zhuang Renhe nodded expressionlessly: "You have done a good job. I will take care of the rest. You can go back first."

"Yes."

When the two young men heard this, they immediately showed delighted expressions and nodded repeatedly.

Just about to leave.

Suddenly, the sound of a sword being drawn was heard.

Before either of them could even turn their heads, the large heads on their necks had already fallen to the ground.

warehouse!
The long sword returned to the scabbard.

Zhuang Renhe still had a blank expression on his face. Killing his two nephews from the same clan was no different from killing beggars on the street.

"Don't blame your uncle for being cruel. Blame it on bad luck."

It's about fairy spirit.

He didn't intend to let anyone know, not even the Zhuang family.

Tribe members and blood relatives are also human beings. As long as they are human beings, they can be bribed and can betray.

If the Ghost Cult knew that he had stolen the spiritual energy, they would not even have to hunt him down. Just revealing the affairs of the Zhuang family and the Ghost Cult would be enough to put him in an irretrievable situation.

some things.

It's enough for him alone to know it.

Zhuang Renhe didn't even look at the bodies on the ground. Once he killed everyone, he would still have time to bury them.

It transformed into a phantom and flew into the mountains and forests.

"What about people?"

Zhuang Renhe frowned slightly.

He had chased for a mile, but still couldn't see Li Rui.

'Did they change direction temporarily?'

Zhuang Renhe's face turned ugly.

While he was thinking.

Whoosh!
There was a sound of breaking wind in the darkness beside me.

Zhuang Renhe reacted extremely quickly, almost in a split second. He tilted his head and just dodged it.

The line of sight just happened to see the small hole left by a featherless short arrow that pierced the tree.

At this time.

A voice came from the forest: "Sure enough, it is really difficult to sneak attack a fifth-grade master."

Zhuang Renhe looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Rui, who was wearing a black nightgown like him, slowly walking out of the darkness.

ambush?

Zhuang Renhe narrowed his eyes slightly.

But I didn't feel too nervous.

"one person?"

"You think you can kill me?"

He looked at Li Rui with interest.

Li Rui laughed and said as he walked: "How can you know if you don't try it?"

"Insanity!"

Zhuang Renhe didn't expect that although he was the one who came to hunt down Li Rui, it turned out that Li Rui ambushed him instead.

"The rumors are true. This person is indeed very scheming."

Eyes flickering left and right.

"Master Li, let's get straight to the point. Is the immortal energy in your hands?"

"Fairy energy?"

"What fairy spirit?"

Li Rui looked puzzled.

Zhuang Renhe snorted coldly.

Old fox, keep pretending!
"Since you won't tell me, I'll have to search it myself!"

In the blink of an eye, Zhuang Renhe unsheathed the long sword from his waist.

It was a strange knife, a pitch-black knife that blended into the night.

The reason why he was willing to talk nonsense with Li Rui was actually to confirm whether Li Rui brought any helpers. He took action now because he was sure that Li Rui was the only one here, or the helpers were some distance away from here.

No matter which situation it is, it is enough for him to kill Li Rui ten times!
When the fifth rank faces the sixth rank, it’s a crushing defeat.

"die!"

Zhuang Renhe originally wanted to capture Li Rui alive.

But Li Rui's performance was too cunning, and he was not completely sure, so he decided to let the old man in front of him die.

Sometimes, dead people are more talkative.

The sharp sword intent instantly blew away the dead leaves on the ground and engulfed Li Rui.

"It's worthy of being a fifth-grade rank."

Li Rui was more solemn than ever before.

If not forced into a desperate situation, who would be willing to challenge a higher level opponent?

He had already determined that the person who wanted to kill him was Zhuang Renhe, or the Guiming Sect, but none of this mattered anymore.

When facing someone who wants to kill him.

All means will only appear fragile.

He tried to endure it, but Zhuang Renhe seemed to have his eyes on him and had no intention of letting him go. He had sent people to follow him for the past half month.

Moreover, no matter in terms of official rank or realm, Zhuang Renhe crushed him. He could hide once, but could he hide a second time, a third time, or for the rest of his life?

Even if he resigned from his official position and fled into the mountains, he would still be captured by the Ghost Cult.

I didn’t hear Zhuang Renhe say that they were doing it for the fairy spirit.

So things have to be resolved.

Facing the powerful sword attack from the fifth-rank master, Li Rui was terrifyingly calm, and the hidden sword had already appeared in his hand.

at this time.

If you still want to hide your shortcomings, then you are really stupid.

when!
The knives collided in the air. The terrifying force instantly shocked Li Rui so much that he retreated repeatedly, and even the hand holding the knife was shaking.

Li Rui's heart sank.

"Is this the strength of the fifth rank?"

Even though he has now opened up his sea of ​​qi and is very close to viewing the sea, he has not crossed that threshold and is still an outsider.

Can't compare.

There's no comparison.

Zhuang Renhe frowned slightly when he saw that his 80%-strength knife attack had failed to hit the target. Then he said in surprise:
"You're still hiding your abilities."

"Has the sea of ​​qi been opened up?"

"Tsk tsk, it seems like the immortal spirit is really in you."

There was more excitement in Zhuang Renhe's eyes. The stronger and more mysterious Li Rui was, the greater the possibility that he would obtain immortal energy, and the more excited he was.

A little old man actually opened up a sea of ​​qi. If this isn't a blessing from the immortal energy, what else could it be?
"Mine, mine!"

Zhuang Renhe licked his lips and said, "I admit, I really can't bear to kill you."

For someone like Li Rui, the best way is of course to catch him in a secret room and dig out his secrets bit by bit.

Unfortunately.

Li Rui’s current strength is beyond his expectations, so he can only die.

Zhuang Renhe no longer held back.

The black knife in his hand turned into a giant python, opening its bloody mouth towards Li Rui, trying to swallow him.

Picture of Kurosawa Sky Python!
Li Rui's eyes narrowed.

Almost at the same time as the black python appeared, a giant purple-gold dragon suddenly appeared in the forest and flapped its wings.

Dragon roar!

"puff"

Li Rui's purple-gold dragon collided with the black python, and the whole person was knocked back by the terrifying force, with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.

at this time.

Zhuang Renhe no longer had the arrogance he had before. Jealousy almost made his mentality distorted, and his elegant face turned violent.

"Why, why do you, a scumbag, deserve to have the form of a dragon!"

"It should belong to me!"

Zhuang Renhe had long heard about Li Rui's body in dragon form.

When a python grows up, it becomes a Jiao, and when a Jiao grows up, it becomes a dragon.

Who wants to be a python if you can be a dragon?
He was also secretly surprised.

"That's amazing!"

However, he had used all his strength and still could not take down Li Rui, and anxiety rose in his heart.

The black python twisted its body and swallowed Li Rui again.

In the blink of an eye.

Li Rui was able to withstand more than ten moves from Zhuang Renhe.

Zhuang Renhe began to feel uneasy.

Although he is a civil servant and his killing power is not as good as that of a military officer, his realm is still there after all, and there is a real difference of one level between them.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

Zhuang Renhe gradually lost his mind, and his sword became more and more ferocious, like a black python dancing wildly, and the sword's force was like a rainstorm, suffocating people.

Li Rui's expression did not change at all.

No matter how strong the wind and rain are, I will remain unmoved!
"One hundred and thirty-seven."

"One hundred and thirty-eight."

"One hundred and eighty-five."

Zhuang Renhe frowned slightly:
"What is he counting?"

Listening to the numbers Li Rui kept reading out, I felt a sudden panic, as if something terrible was about to happen.

'He's counting the times I strike out.'

Zhuang Renhe was even more confused.

The fact that he couldn't take down Li Rui for a long time made him even more upset.

withdraw?
impossible.

Tonight, both he and Li Rui's identities have been exposed, so only one person is destined to survive.

This person has to be him.

The person who died must also be Li Rui.

There is no such thing as giving up.

Just when he was feeling upset, he heard the last number from Li Rui's mouth: "Two hundred."

"The sword is ready!"

Knife momentum?
Just as Zhuang Renhe was puzzled, his pupils shrank slightly and the hairs on his body stood up.

Just when they were fighting just now, Li Rui had silently created a cage for him with his sword intent!
Li Rui's sword intent also reached its peak almost at the same time.

He was secretly surprised in his heart and laughed coldly: "I admit that your swordsmanship is very interesting, but so what, can you still kill me?"

Li Rui smiled gently:
"Master Zhuang, don't you find any problem?"

"question?"

Zhuang Renhe was stunned by what Li Rui said, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Stop playing tricks."

He was about to continue swinging the knife.

But I heard Li Rui say: "Don't you realize that there is something wrong with the soil under my feet?"

Done.

Li Rui didn't wait for Zhuang Renhe to continue speaking. He slowly raised his right foot and brought it down hard.

Under Zhuang Renhe's surprised gaze.

A scarlet long sword suddenly broke out of the ground!

The terrifying might made him, a fifth-grade cultivator, hold his breath.

"Is this a fairy soldier?!"

The moment Zhuang Renhe saw the long knife clearly, his pupils contracted suddenly.

"Immortal soldiers!"

"How could he have a magical weapon in his hand!"

He simply couldn't believe what he was seeing.

What are immortal soldiers?
The soldiers of the earthly immortals!

Even some powerful earthly immortals do not have an immortal weapon, which shows how precious immortal weapons are.

But a magical weapon suddenly appeared in Li Rui's hand.

"This is impossible!"

Zhuang Renhe's eyes turned red and his face became distorted.

However, Li Rui did not intend to answer.

The sword intent in his eyes was raging, and the force of the sword reached its peak at this moment.

The night was illuminated by the fiery red light of the knife.

The immortal soldiers cut everything into pieces.

The black knife that Zhuang Renhe raised above his head was split into two parts by the red immortal weapon. The immortal knife passed through Zhuang Renhe's body silently and almost without any hindrance.

The ultimate sharpness!
Zhuang Renhe's pupils widened and his face was full of disbelief.

He never expected that Li Rui would actually hide a magical weapon.

of course.

He no longer had the chance to ask the questions in his mind.

Pass!
The two halves fell to the left and right, and the blood that had no time to spray out splattered at this moment.

Zhuang Renhe is dead.

Li Rui looked at the corpse on the ground expressionlessly, and didn't even intend to touch it.

How can a person who is already wearing a nightgown expect to carry a treasure with him?

Tonight, of course, it was premeditated.

This is the burial place he chose for Zhuang Renhe.

He had buried the knife in advance.

It's all about taking things by surprise.

The magic sword is powerful, but if it is revealed at the beginning and Zhuang Renhe chooses to escape when he is prepared, all Li Rui's plans will be in vain.

Zhuang Renhe wanted him dead, so did he.

I feel uneasy as long as Zhuang Renhe is still alive.

Therefore, the magic sword can only be used once, and it must kill with one strike.

Everything he did tonight was for that one knife.

This time.

Li Rui did not choose to destroy the body.

Instead, he dipped the knife in Zhuang Renhe's blood and wrote a big "Qi" on the ground.

Write everything down when you are done.

He carried the magic sword on his back and disappeared into the long dark night.

At this time.

Lines of small words appeared before my eyes.
