Chapter 763: One After Another, the Saint Slave’s Back-Up Plan, the Chess Master’s Cunning!
"Master Xu!!!"
On one side, Xiao Wanfeng saw a sword of darkness appearing from nothing in front of Mr. Xu.
His whole body jumped from the soles of his feet to his heart, and a sorrowful power spontaneously arose, and then erupted in his throat and neck, bursting out with a shrill cry.
Then, Xiao Wanfeng held the wooden sword on his back and almost took action.
At this time.
In front of Mr. Xu, the graceful figure appeared from unknown time.
As soon as he appeared, he caught the black shadow's sword between his two fingers.
The calmness of his behavior and the elegance of his behavior made Xiao Wanfeng full of emotional strength and could not help but feel stagnant.
"Al?"
It's not just Xiao Wanfeng.
Pedestrians on the street were also frightened by the sudden assassin.
"Oh my God, assassinating a semi-saint descendant?"
"Who did Mr. Xu offend?"
"Why are there so many things going on these days!"
Everyone was frightened and retreated.
The assassin was completely black and shrouded in darkness, his face invisible.
But the Taoist aura around him...
I have never eaten pork, but everyone has seen pigs running away!
At least this is the way to kill!
Don't withdraw and wait to suffer the aftermath of the battle?
Xu Xiaoshou was also shocked.
Unlike everyone else, he was not surprised by the assassin, only puzzled by the figure that suddenly came to protect him.
His identity turned out to be...
"Si, Mr. Ren!"
When Xu Xiaoshou uttered the first word, his tone was still one of surprise.
But when the four words of the whole sentence came down, it became a completely affirmative tone.
It's like he is really the descendant of the Semi-Saint, and there is really someone protecting him behind his back.
Moreover, this protector is too weak and cannot be sensed by others, but when Xu Shao encounters real danger, he will definitely appear and stop him.
Vigil was also confused.
He came back to explore Xu Shaoqi Sea.
As long as this sword breaks through the body of the young man opposite...
Shouye even thought that Xu Xiaoshou was a master and had strong defense, so he didn't hold back at all with this sword.
He doesn't mean to hurt anyone.
Just trying to feel the familiar power in Xu Xiao's body.
But when someone suddenly appears...
As Xu Shao said before, he has a protector, a Taixu who cannot be seen on weekdays. It is because his vigilance skills are insufficient and he cannot sense the queen.
Staying vigil, confused.
"Meisi people..."
"Seven Swordsmen, Mr. Siren?"
Almost immediately, Watching the night looked at the figure that landed gracefully between him and Mr. Xu, and he already realized who this person was.
For most young people, perhaps Mr. Siren of the Seven Swordsmen is just a legend.
Even the faces in the portraits are painted in several elegant ways.
But Su Ye used to follow Gou Wuyue.
He has met the Meisi people!
But he never thought that Mei Si, the Seven Sword Immortal who had always been ownerless, would be the mysterious protector behind Mr. Xu?
"Very surprised?"
Mei Siren smiled and pushed away the sword that condensed the dark power of Vigil.
Of course he knew who the assassin was.
Therefore, there was no intention of killing it with a backhand.
Facing Vigil, he failed to succeed with his sword and hid directly in the void.
Mei Siren even used his Taixu power with his backhand to isolate the pedestrians on the street from Xiao Wanfeng, fearing that the assassin's true identity would be exposed.
He smiled slightly and said to the empty space in front of him: "As Mr. Xu said, he is protected, but his cultivation is too strong for ordinary people to feel it."
Xu Xiaoshou: "..."
At this moment, he was holding on to his passive value and wanted to break it down, and finally relaxed completely.
It turns out that Mr. Siren has always been there!
The information bar is always fluctuating.
But before, many people came with the vigil team, and even if they were "observed", they could add several passive points at a time.
Xu Xiaoshou couldn't tell who this gaze came from.
And the vigil realm was broken.
Xu Shao's identity is known to almost everyone in the royal city.
Without interruption, more passive values will pop up.
In such a situation where the source of passive value is confused, unless there is "being peeped" or a situation like a vigil sneak attack that will make people feel the impulse.
Otherwise, Xu Xiaoshou would not be able to judge whether someone was really protecting him.
But looking at the present...
Obviously, since he and Mr. Mi Ren verified whether "concealment" could deceive Taixu induction, he knew what level the person he was going to fight against was.
Therefore, they were secretly protected all the way.
A "warm and caring" feeling emerged spontaneously, and Xu Xiaoshou was really warmed by the warm and caring Mr. Siren.
fine.
Fortunately, Mr. Mito followed!
otherwise……
Either Vigil breaks through his own defense, and then is imprisoned in Yuan Mansion for the rest of his life.
Either use all your own methods, cut the road with hard steel, and then fight to the death, knocking out the vigil who was shocked by his true identity, and imprisoning Yuan Mansion for the rest of his life.
And these two situations, no matter which one happens, are not what Xu Xiaoshou wants to see.
Vigil is a good person after all...
…
In the void.
After being recognized, Vigil wouldn't openly admit that it was Hong Yi who was assassinating the semi-saint successor, but he didn't have to deliberately conceal his true thoughts in his words.
"Mr. Siren, how could you do this?"
Vigil was really frightened.
Is it true that Mr. Xu said there is someone to protect him?
And if it is true, then all the inferences based on it before...
Castles in the air?
Foam illusion?
Burst at the touch?
"Don't be surprised..."
Mei Siren shook his folding fan and explained calmly:
"I am good friends with Mr. Xu. We came to Dongtianwang City together this time, but it was just on the way."
"There is someone else who protects Mr. Xu."
"It's just that I can't sit back and watch you two become enemies of life and death because of misunderstandings."
Xu Xiaoshou was surprised when he heard it.
Mei Siren was actually helping him to lie!
The biggest loophole in his lie since he entered the royal city was that no one could help confirm the authenticity of the Xu family of Taixiang in the Northern Territory.
But at this moment, Mei Siren made up for it.
The lie came true!
Perfect!
Now Xu Xiaoshou could even imagine that when Shouye walked out alive, he would bring this sentence to the ears of the high-level officials of the Holy Temple.
This continent really gave birth to a hidden semi-saint Xu family out of thin air!
Shouye was also shocked and couldn't let it go for a long time.
Xu...
It's true!
What Xu Shao said...
It's also true!
Everything...
Including Xu Shao's reaction when he was questioned before.
At that time, there were two results, which made Shouye waver.
Now, there is only one!
During the Fangzhu trial, the stress resistance of Xu Deye, the descendant of the semi-saint, after being forcibly tested by Shouye, suddenly became so reasonable.
The proper anger, the conventional answer, the confidence of the descendant of the semi-saint...
At this moment, all can be explained.
And.
Only, the only explanation!
Shouye calmed down.
Mei Siren, one of the Seven Sword Immortals, has no position for hundreds of years.
This cannot be explained. It is the real saint slave Xu Xiaoshou who colluded with Mei Siren and used Mei Siren to justify himself.
Such a ridiculous idea...
At this moment, Shouye dared to even slightly rise, and was instantly wiped out by subjective consciousness.
Because this is too terrible.
If Mei Siren also stood on the side of the Saint Slave, the situation would open up, and this would not be a trivial matter of whether to capture the Saint Slave Xu Xiaoshou.
It was another major issue that affected whether the continent would be turbulent!
"Old man, I am rude."
Shouye had already wanted to retreat at this time.
He did not hide his identity, and he knew that the other party must know his identity in red.
But obviously, Master Xu gave face and did not let Mei Siren expose him, just because the half-saint Xu family did not want to be hostile to the red-clothed man.
That's all.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoshou's face showed a trace of panic after surviving a disaster, as well as unbearable anger.
But as the descendant of a semi-saint, he had a broad mind and a broad vision. He only slightly eased the anger on his face, and his voice softened:
"I have encountered countless assassinations throughout my life, and the way of killing is just a drop in the ocean."
"I really hate assassins like you."
"Sometimes, you should really imagine whether you are qualified enough to use the coercive means on ordinary people and apply them to the descendants of semi-saints."
"Go away, I don't blame you, think about it carefully, and take care of yourself!"
After saying that.
Xu Xiaoshou flicked his sleeves, obviously too angry to say more.
His current state is completely true. After the previous square table judgment was forced by Shouye, he was forced to test again. He was completely embarrassed, but because the opponent was in red, the semi-saint forces also had their own concerns and did not want to really tear their faces, so they could only swallow their anger again.
Shouye could not find fault.
Even if he found fault, he would not dare to attack the Seven Swordsman Mei Siren again.
At that moment, his figure disappeared.
The night watchman disappeared in a flash.
"Did he leave?"
It took a long time before Xu Xiaoshou dared to ask.
He could no longer sense the existence of any sneak attackers, but at this moment, he was really afraid of Zhan Dao's sneak attack.
If the night watchman was still there, but did not attack, but just eavesdropped.
His reaction after relaxing could still make him guess.
"He really left."
Mei Siren smiled and turned around. Seeing the reaction of the young man behind him who suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't hide his laughter.
This is a genius!
Following all the way, Mei Siren watched the entire trial.
He knew that Xu Xiaoshou was not only a genius in swordsmanship, but also had his own unique insights in dealing with people.
With the cultivation of a master, he could bear the pressure of Zhan Dao and make up a lie.
Relying on the fictitious identity of a semi-saint, he forced the red-clothed night watchman to be restrained everywhere.
Even if there were some flaws in the end, this performance was already twelve points perfect for a young man.
"More Mr. Siren..."
Xu Xiaoshou clasped his fist and thanked him.
However, before he finished thanking, Mei Siren's expression became solemn again and he looked at the other side: "But some people left, and some people are still hiding."
Xu Xiaoshou was stunned: ? ? ?
He immediately looked at the information board.
No fluctuation.
"There are others?"
Xu Xiaoshou was shocked.
There is a third person here, but he has never paid attention to himself, so there is no fluctuation in the information board?
"Mr. Siren, are you trying to scare me?" Xu Xiaoshou immediately put on the posture of Xu Shao, but still looked unconvinced.
"No scare..." Mei Siren still looked at the nothingness behind him.
Xu Xiaoshou also looked up.
At this time, in the void, an old man really walked out.
This person was wearing a simple linen shirt, with bandages clearly visible around his sleeves and neck. His face was weathered, but his eyes were unusually bright.
He had a small axe on his waist, and he could shrink the ground to an inch with every step he took.
In a flash, he came to Xu Xiaoshou and Mei Siren.
"Old woodcutter?!"
Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.
There really is someone?
And, this person is Sheng Nu's fourth in command, Cen Qiaofu?
Has he been following him?
Xu Xiaoshou recalled the storyteller's words in his mind for a moment.
In the battle last night, before he and the storyteller separated for the last time, the storyteller mentioned that Haitang'er and others had already arrived at the trade fair, and that the people in Tianshang First Floor were protected, so he asked him to hide.
But since Xu Xiaoshou went to the trade fair, he had not seen any Sheng Nu at all.
This time, he did not expect that Sheng Nu's back-up had really arrived, but was just hiding.
Moreover, the person hiding was not Haitang'er of Zhan Dao, but Cen Qiaofu of Taixu.
Has this person also been protecting in secret?
For a moment, Xu Xiaoshou thought of a lot.
Perhaps Mei Siren didn't need to take action.
As long as Zhan Dao's Shouye asked something and noticed something strange during the previous trial.
Or maybe Mei Siren really didn't exist this time...
Shouye couldn't hurt himself.
Because of Cen Qiaofu's existence, the result would only be that Shouye and his entire red team would be wiped out?
Xu Xiaoshou's heart immediately trembled.
He suddenly understood the other meaning of what Sang Lao said before.
"Before you have absolute strength, be serious and be a good chess piece!"
Perhaps, there is a second half to this sentence.
"As long as you are a good chess piece, the chess player will escort you; as long as you are good enough to fight against the majority and solve most of the troubles, the rest is just a piece of work for the chess player."
Shouye might be able to see through his identity.
This was a huge trouble for Xu Xiaoshou.
But for the chess master, Xu Xiaoshou had done enough.
The remaining details were wiped out at will, and there would be no more trouble.
Looking at the bandaged figure of Cen Qiaofu in front of him, Xu Xiaoshou could still vaguely recall the scene in the Eight Palaces where the opponent was wrapped in blood trees and fought against hundreds of white-clothed people and Tianji puppets.
For a moment, he was a little amazed at the layout of the Saint Slave.
It turned out that everyone was very smart, and everyone's backhand was hidden so deeply!
This side was still sighing.
On the other side, Mei Siren had already communicated with the appeared Cen Qiaofu.
"I have seen you before..." Mei Siren tapped his folding fan, his eyes full of memories, "In the South Region?"
"Yes."
Cen Qiaofu looked indifferent, walked over and tapped the outspoken Xu Xiaoshou on the head, then replied: "At that time, I was really just a woodcutter. I met a sword fairy on the mountain road, as if I had met a god from heaven."
Mei Siren laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said: "But now you have also become a saint slave and Taixu. I never thought that a man from the mountains at that time could cut the way in one night and finally become Taixu."
Cen Qiaofu rubbed Xu Xiaoshou's head, felt the slight pain in his palm, and let go of his hand with a strange expression. This hedgehog...
He looked at Mei Siren and responded in a serious tone: "The good firewood in the mountains can't be chopped down in hundreds of years; but the bad things in this world sometimes need someone to come forward and give it a heavy axe."
Mei Siren smiled and said nothing.
Cen Qiaofu naturally wouldn't say anything more.
At this time, Xu Xiaoshou was able to interrupt the conversation between the two: "Old woodcutter, are you the reinforcements sent by Ba Zun An?"
Cen Qiaofu hit the hedgehog again and scolded: "You have no respect for your elders!"
When this kid opens his mouth, he always reminds people of the only old man with dark circles under his eyes who can sit down and play chess with him among the holy slaves.
It's a pity...
Alas!
Xu Xiaoshou didn't think so much. He finally waited for someone to answer his questions and immediately asked, "Void Island..."
Cen Qiaofu knew what he was thinking and interrupted him directly: "It's not a coincidence. You were stumped by the red-clothed man, so I asked the chief to take action. If you hadn't been stumped, you might have been able to calm down for a while."
"Hiss~"
Xu Xiaoshou took a breath of cold air and looked shocked: "God! Summoning the Void Island can control time? Then when did you follow me..."
Cen Qiaofu interrupted again: "When you return to the trade fair, I have been protecting you all the time. Haitanger has changed her mission and can't come, but you, can't get into trouble."
"Oh~"
After Xu Xiaoshou said that, he smiled contentedly.
He finally felt the sense of security of having someone behind him.
Or he has never lacked people behind him, but he just couldn't see them before.
Now, with the continuous improvement of his cultivation, these deeply hidden powers have finally surfaced a little and can be seen.
Xu Xiaoshou hesitated for a moment and tried to speak again: "Then..."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Cen Qiaofu held the axe at his waist and finally interrupted: "Let's go back to your first floor of the sky first, and then talk about other things later. If Rao Yaoyao and the others really come back to kill us, I can't stand it."
