Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 455: Three Xiaos Appear in the Forest

Afternoon, forest.

The bright sunlight passed through the dense shade and fell on the muddy ground under the tree like scattered cotton wool.

The strands of golden light in the air look like pearl curtains hanging in the woods, outlining a dreamlike landscape.

At this moment, a swordsman in gray was walking through this landscape.

He walked neither fast nor slow.

Until three figures suddenly appeared in the light and shadow behind him.

The Three-Character King stopped, still maintaining a calm and unhurried attitude, and turned around.

"What's up?"

One sentence, three words, this is his habit.

Along with his words, he also conveyed the terrifying murderous aura that is unique to a top killer.

As for the three people who were following him, after hearing what he said, they instinctively reached for their weapons in an instant, as if... only by grasping the hilt of the sword before the Three-Character King could they feel more at ease.

"Three-Character King, don't you recognize us?" After a moment, one of the three spoke in a rather unfriendly tone.

The Three Character King hated people who answered questions with questions the most in his life, because it was already inconvenient to speak with only three words, and it was even more troublesome to meet someone who would argue with you.

"I don't know him." So he threw back these three words without even thinking about it.

"You are really a forgetful person." At this time, another one of the three said, "How about I remind you..." He paused, then squeezed out four words from between his teeth, "Wujian Villa."

It's no wonder, after he reminded them, King San Zi really remembered the identities of these people.

"Oh~" As we all know, interjections and laughter are not counted in the three-word habits of the Three-Word King, "Nine Heavens Sword."

"That's right! It's us, the Jiuxiao Sword!" The third of the three loudly affirmed the Three-Character King's response.

Seeing this, many people must be a little confused, not sure where these three people came from, or have some impression but can't remember clearly, so I'm here to help you sort it out a little bit...

The "Nine Sky Swords" originally belonged to the nine great masters under the command of Xiao Zhun, the owner of Wujian Villa. They were named "Chixiao", "Bixiao", "Qingxiao", "Xuanxiao", "Jiangxiao", "Mingxiao", "Zixiao", "Lianxiao" and "Jinxiao" respectively. All nine of them were first-rate swordsmen and were Xiao Zhun's most trusted subordinates.

But in "that incident" about a year ago, six of the nine people died -

Xuan Xiao was killed by Xiao Zhun himself and used as a sacrifice to the sword.

Jiang Xiao was killed by Jiang Shouzheng in a surprise attack.

Chi Xiao died in a cesspool explosion.

Zixiao's carotid artery was scratched by debris in the explosion. He was still alive, but was killed by Jiang Shouzheng.

Lian Xiao was in charge of guarding the gate of the villa at that time. Therefore, when the men from Yiyong Escort Agency rushed up the mountain, he was killed by Zuo Dingkun, the deputy director of Yiyong Escort Agency.

Jinxiao, also known as Gu Rong, the "Kui Xing Sword", was an undercover agent sent by Wen Yuzhai to the villa for many years. He was killed by Xiao Zhun in the battle of "Swords and Demons".

Apart from these six people, the remaining three - Chixiao, Bixiao, and Qingxiao, all escaped by chance.

Not only did they escape during the chaos (when various groups of people were busy looting the property of Wujian Villa), they also took something away from the villa.

This thing, as we mentioned before, is called the "Chanxia Sword". It is the official treasure of Wujian Villa and one of the baits promised by Xiao Zhun when he held the "Opening the Villa to Discuss Swords".

However, now that the Three Sky appeared here, none of them was seen wearing this sword. Maybe... they felt that they could deal with the Three-Character King without relying on the power of the Canxia Sword.

"So what?" After confirming the other party's identity, the Three Character King's attitude remained unchanged.

Even though he was not very confident about "defeating three swordsmen of the Jiuxiao Sword level alone", he, the Three-Character King, had always had a firm grasp on his temperament.

Besides, he has pretty good martial arts skills, so if he can't beat him, he can just run away.

"You're asking without knowing the answer?" Bi Xiao asked, "Are we here to find you for anything else besides revenge?"

"Ha..." After hearing this, the Three Character King couldn't help but laugh, "Do you believe it?"

This is undoubtedly a rhetorical question.

The Three Character King didn't say much, but he had a lot of twists and turns in his mind. It took him only two seconds to figure out: what Bixiao said, that is, "the trusted subordinates avenged the dead owner of the manor", sounds fine at first glance, but it is actually pure nonsense.

Not to mention that the "loyalty" of you, the guests of Wujian Villa, is based on the exchange of interests and the control of power. Even if you are truly loyal to Xiao Zhun, who will avenge him after what he did before his death?
“Hahahaha…” Bi Xiao, who was exposed in an instant, also laughed, “I didn’t expect you to be so quick-witted.”

"Alright, Three-Character King, we won't waste our time talking to you..." Chi Xiao spoke again at this time. He took a half step forward and said in a deep voice, "We know that the 'True Hero Order' is in your possession. If you hand it over, we won't make things difficult for you."

"Are you worthy?" The answer from the Three-Character King can be interpreted in two ways.

It can be assumed that he was saying that the other party was not worthy of the True Hero Order; it can also be assumed that he was saying that the other party was incapable of making things difficult for him.

But no matter which one it was, he obviously had no intention of submitting.

"Hmph!" Qing Xiao was a little annoyed. "Three-Character King, we are giving you a way out, please don't be ungrateful! You are not so arrogant that you think you can defeat the three of us alone, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, before the Three-Character King could answer, another voice suddenly sounded.

"It's hard to say if I'm alone, but what about three against three?"

The person who spoke came along with the voice and in the blink of an eye was on both sides of the Three Character King.

The three Xiaos saw that they also knew these two people. The one who was talking to them was Qin Feng, and the other one was Linghu Xiang.

How did these two end up here? We have to go back a little bit...

After the "Thirteen Dead Zodiac Signs" incident, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai went to Japan on the orders of the emperor, Tyrael also embarked on a journey back home, and as for the remaining Linghu Xiang, Qin Feng and Lin Yuancheng, since there was nothing important for the time being, and Qin Feng was seriously injured in the previous battle of Zhihua Temple and needed to recuperate for some time, they all stayed in Princess Qingzhen's "Xiuyun Manor".

During this period, Lin Yuancheng and Linghu Xiang had been teaching the princess swordsmanship, and their skills had really improved a lot.

Just like that, nearly two months passed in a blink of an eye, and Qin Feng's injury was almost healed, so he also joined the ranks of "sparring partners".

But half a month later, Qin Feng found Linghu Xiang and whispered to him, "Big Brother, we three are all in the martial arts world. It's not a long-term solution for us to play with this little girl here every day. How about... let's go away on a dark and windy night?"

When Linghu Xiang heard this, he was confused: "Eh? Didn't we say that we were all three people from the martial arts world? How come when we were about to escape, there were only two of us?"

At this time, it can be seen that Qin Feng, who has experienced many life lessons and is a few years older than the other two, has a lot of gold content: "What you said... Xiao Lin's relationship with the princess is the same as our relationship with the princess. Is that the same thing? If we don't leave him here, can we run away?"

Linghu Xiang thought about it and felt that it was true, but he still asked: "Then if we leave without saying goodbye and leave Xiaolin alone, will he be okay?"

"What can possibly happen?" Qin Feng continued, "He's a grown man, what can he possibly suffer? Can the princess, who is so beautiful as a princess, swallow him up? Maybe the princess has already wanted us to get out, so we better act quickly."

The two of them discussed it privately, and then, as the underworld jargon goes - it slipped.

After that, the two of them continued to roam the world for a few months, until recently, at a county market, when Qin Feng went out of the inn alone to buy things, he accidentally saw the "Three Xiaos" on the road.

It has to be said that this was also luck, because Qin Feng often wore a bamboo hat when he traveled around the world, and he was also a nobody when he was hanging out in Wujian Villa, so Sanxiao didn't recognize him at first, but he was still quite impressed by the appearance of "Jiuxiao Sword" and spotted him from the crowd at a glance.

Qin Feng saw these three guys who were once capable generals under Xiao Zhun. He certainly couldn't ignore them, so he hurried back to the inn and called Linghu Xiang. The two of them asked and tracked the whereabouts of the three along the way and finally caught up with them here.

"Oh~ I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be you, the stinky grave-keeper." At this moment, Bi Xiao stared at Qin Feng for a few seconds, and remembered him, so he mocked, "What? Just because you joined the Hunyuan Star Gate, you think you can challenge us?"

"Heh...you two really naive boys." Qing Xiao also said, "If you continue to hide in the dark and then emerge to attack us after we start fighting the Three-Character King, you might still be able to play a role. But now you jump out so brazenly and talk about a three-on-three...aren't you overestimating your abilities?"

"Oh?" Qin Feng was ridiculed by the other party, but he seemed very calm. After all, he was used to hearing the sun and yellow words in the Hunyuan Star Gate, and this level of speech was no big deal to him. "You three are the weakest among the Jiuxiao Swords, and you actually have the confidence to say that others are overestimating their own abilities? Then I have to fight with you to see who is naive."

Qin Feng's words were not that harsh to the ear, but they were quite damaging.

Because there is at least one ironclad fact in these words - Chixiao, Bixiao and Qingxiao are indeed the three weakest among the Jiuxiao Swords.

Therefore, when he finished speaking, Qing Xiao got anxious first: "Bah! You little brat, you are so arrogant. If you really have the ability to beat me, just take my three moves first!"

While he was cursing, he also used a provocation... As he spoke, he had already drawn his sword and rushed forward, using a move called "Tiger Roaring and Wind Shooting" to stab it out of the sheath.

This move is not a sophisticated one, but a wrestling move. The key is to spread the swordsman's internal power forward through the sword body in the shape of a tiger's mouth. If the recipient has insufficient internal power, he will be injured by the power even if he uses a weapon to block or break the move.

It was obvious that Qing Xiao wanted to use his advantage in internal strength to easily defeat Qin Feng's move - if the opponent didn't dodge, he would get the advantage, and if the opponent did dodge, then he would at least win the momentum and the battle of words.

Facing this move, Qin Feng did not dodge or evade, but raised his sword and attacked...
