Sword Soul. Qianlong

15

It was midnight, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

Inside Jinwang Mansion.

King Li Hao of Jin and Xinna's favorite concubine Hu Tianhudi had a fight in the middle of the night. At this moment, he was sleepy, and suddenly felt a chill in the warm room, like the cold sword energy of a peerless famous sword drawn out of its sheath. .

Startled, he hurriedly opened his eyes, and saw a figure standing in front of the bed.

"Could it be an assassin?" Li Hao was about to speak out in horror, when he suddenly felt a chill on the side of his neck, and at the same time, a blue sword light lit up in front of his eyes, but it was a long sword with piercing sword energy that was already on the ground. collar.

"Don't, don't kill me!" Li Hao's face turned ashen in an instant, and he said in a trembling voice: "No matter who sent you, I can pay double... no, ten times the price..."

However, in the next second, he suddenly fell silent, looking in astonishment at the handsome face that was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar under the faint light of the sword, feeling his heart sinking into the bottomless abyss little by little.

"Third brother, it's you..." Li Hao felt bitterness in his throat, and his heart was full of despair.

He couldn't figure out how to persuade Xia Yi to spare him.

However, Xia Yi just held the evil sword in his hand, resting it firmly on his neck, and said every word clearly: "If you don't want to die, return my concubine's jade pendant!"

Li Hao tremblingly raised his eyes to peek at Xia Yize's expression. He saw that the latter had a frosty face and eyes like cold stars. He was afraid that if he dared to say the word "no", he would make his blood splatter three feet. He said in a trembling voice, "Third brother, don't worry, I, I, I will return it to you right away. It's just...that jade pendant was hidden by me in a secret compartment in the study...you, look..."

"Get up, take me to get it." After Xia Yi finished speaking, he raised his long sword slightly, forcing Li Hao to get up from the bed.

Under the threat of the sharp sword, Li Hao scrambled and got out of bed, put on his clothes, and then went to the study with Xia Yi.

After leaving the bedroom door, Li Hao saw a slender man in black standing quietly in the shadows under the tree outside the door. The man was standing in the dark, unable to see his face clearly, but felt an awe-inspiring sword aura coming towards him. , making his hair stand on end in an instant.

"Don't play tricks, let's go!" Xia Yi saw Li Hao's eyes rolling around, worried that he would deliberately attract the guards of the palace and cause unnecessary trouble, so he turned his wrist slightly, and immediately swiped the long sword resting on the side of Li Hao's neck. The skin was broken, and a series of blood beads slid down along the edge of the blue sword.

Li Hao was so startled that his legs went limp all of a sudden, he didn't even care about any evil intentions, he immediately begged for forgiveness and walked towards the study.

The study room was quite far from the bedroom. Although Xia Yi and Baili Tusu were extremely careful, when they were about to arrive at the study room, they inevitably alarmed a group of secret guards kept by the Prince Jin Mansion.

Soon all the palace guards were alarmed and gathered at the door of the study.

However, they saw that their master had fallen into the hands of the assassins, and because of Li Hao's safety, they had no choice but to hold back.

Xia Yi and Baili Tusu looked at each other, and then escorted Li Hao into the study, while Baili Tusu stood guard at the door in case the situation changed.

Li Hao touched the mechanism next to the bookcase by the light of the ever-burning lamp in the corner, and pressed it with trembling hands.

Then the bookcase moved away, revealing a row of hidden compartments behind it.

Li Hao poked his hand into the third hidden compartment in the first row, and sure enough he took out a piece of green jade pendant.

Xia Yi, on the other hand, has excellent eyesight, and at a glance, he saw that the jade pendant was a gift from his concubine mother. His heart skipped a beat, and he said coldly: "Bring it!"

Li Hao hurriedly threw the jade pendant to Xia Yize.

Xia Yi raised his free left hand to catch it, and lowered his head to carefully inspect the jade pendant for damage.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Hao quietly pressed a certain mechanism with his left hand, which was always behind his back.

There was only a low and inaudible sound of the mechanism starting, and the sound of breaking through the air sounded in the next second, and countless short arrows shot towards Xia Yize's foothold.

Xia Yi's eyes turned cold, but Xiejian created a blue light curtain in front of him, blocking all sharp arrows from the light curtain.

When Li Hao was blocking the arrow, he slipped back to the wall, and then turned into a secret door that quietly appeared on the wall.

Then Li Hao's cold and stern voice sounded in the night sky: "Kill, kill, pardon!"

When Baili Tusu heard the strange noise and broke into the study, Xia Yi just blocked three rounds of sharp crossbow shots in succession, turned his head and said to Baili Tusu: "Let's go!"

The two rushed out of the study together, only to see countless torches lit up outside, illuminating the dark night sky as bright as day.

The courtyard is now full of elite archers from the strong crossbow battalion. They are orderly and aim at the two with countless strong bows and sharp crossbows, but they have already laid a net.

However, how could Baili Tusu and Xia Yi pay attention to such battles? They did not need to exchange eyes to communicate with each other. Li Tusu raised Fen Ji and pointed at the front, chanting the mantra silently.

At the same time as the archers fired all their arrows, countless red swords formed by condensing spiritual power also formed in the air, and then stabbed them head-on.

Suddenly, one after another screamed in the air.

The sharp arrows shot by the strong crossbow battalion were bounced back by the defensive air shield, but accidentally injured many archers, and the red air swords summoned by Baili Tusu became the nightmare of all archers.

With Baili Tusu and Xia Yi teaming up, how can these ordinary archers and palace guards stand up to their opponents?

The two cooperated perfectly in defense and offense, and the gods blocked and killed the gods and Buddhas as if they were Buddhas. They quickly broke a bloody path amidst the siege, rushed out of the palace and disappeared into the vast night together.

Xia Yi and Baili Tusu flew out of Chang'an City with their swords, and returned to the folk house where the two lived temporarily on the outskirts of the city.

The two entered the house, and Xia Yi picked up a fire knife and flint from the table and lit the candle, and then by the candlelight, he noticed that Baili Tusu's expression was different, and his expression seemed to be in pain. But are you unwell?"

Baili Tusu felt his headache was about to split, and the evil spirit in his body surged, and the pain was unbearable. He gasped for breath, and forced himself to say: "The evil spirit is attacking...tonight is the new moon..."

Xia Yi saw the black evil energy overflowing around him constantly, and his pair of pitch-black star pupils gradually turned red. He couldn't help thinking of the dangerous situation after Baili Tusu forced out the evil energy last time, and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. , Twitching sharply, the evil sword stood in front of his chest, and silently chanted the mantra to summon the "Liangyi Qingxin Formation" that can get rid of evil spirits and help people keep the spiritual platform clear, covering Baili Tusu in it.

After a while, the evil spirit overflowing from Baili Tusu's body gradually diminished, and the redness in his eyes also began to fade.

Seeing that the formation was effective, Xia Yi felt relieved just now. Seeing that the effectiveness of the "Liangyi Qingxin Formation" was about to expire, he quickly summoned the formation at Baili Tusu's feet again, and then summoned the "Innate Life-Nursing Formation" at the expense of spiritual power. To help Baili Tusu relieve the pain.

The azure blue heart-clearing magic circle and the soft healing white light alternately enveloped Baili Tusu's body, finally suppressing the evil spirit in his body.

I saw that the red color in Baili Tusu's eyes finally faded away, and the blackness like black jade was restored again, and the almost violent pain on Jun's face gradually disappeared, turning into a void.

A moment later, he was finally exhausted in the struggle against the evil spirit, and could no longer maintain his sanity, his eyes went dark, and he fell forward into Xia Yize's arms.
