Chapter 76: The Tide Turns

"The inner courtyard is over there."

Xu Xiaoshou turned his back and pointed in a direction.

There are three roads at the corner of the grove, one leading to one's own yard and one leading to the outer yard. Straight ahead is Chuyuntai, the place where "Wind and Cloud Fight for Hegemony" takes place.

There is another way, which is in the direction of Ehu Lake. You can enter the inner courtyard by walking along it, and then turn a small corner and you will find Lingzang Pavilion.

"Why are you going to the inner courtyard? Maybe you want to steal books?" Xu Xiaoshou asked curiously.

This guy's head was covered, and only one eyeball could be seen from his whole body. He really looked like a thief or a robber.

But don’t come in without knowing the way!

"This is not what you should know." The masked man muttered.

"curious."

“Curiosity killed the cat.”

"Oh, then go ahead!" Xu Xiaoshou said nonchalantly.

The masked man gritted his teeth: "So, can you get off of me?"

"Uh, sorry."

Xu Xiaoshou actually didn't dare to get off the other party, but riding like this was not an option. He couldn't just be led by this guy to steal things. Then he would also become an accomplice.

With a push on the waist and abdomen, a huge counterattack force instantly bounced the two of them several feet away.

Xu Xiaoshou rushed forward for a long time and was surprised when he found that there was no movement behind him.

He turned around and saw that the masked man was holding on to the tree trunk, struggling to lift himself up from the water in the forest road.

Xu Xiaoshou: "..."

You are so weak, do you have the nerve to be a thief?

Did you really come in from outside the Spiritual Palace?

I suspect you are playing me!

The masked man ignored Xu Xiaoshou, as if the purpose of this guy's existence was really to answer his very ordinary questions.

But after he walked towards the inner courtyard for a long time, he found that this boy was still huddled under the white jade railing, secretly glancing at him, and curled up like he was hiding his ears.

"..."

He stopped and sighed: "You did a good job just now, but your sword path went astray. Turn back as soon as possible."

Xu Xiaoshou's brows jumped. This guy really saw the whole process of his murder!

The urge to silence emerged in my heart again, but could I beat this guy?

This guy is so weird!

"My swordsmanship is the idea of ​​a genius friend. You have little knowledge and have never seen it!" Xu Xiaoshou tried.

"Your road has been blocked a long time ago." The masked man walked away without stopping.

Xu Xiaoshou stared at his back, feeling overwhelmed.

Is he kidding me?

Or is there really someone who has already gone through his own path of pure sword fighting?

impossible!

The only move he actually made with his sword was the "drawing sword" move. How could this guy see it?

His sword intention is so weak, yet he still dares to point fingers?

ridiculous!

"This is a genius idea!" Xu Xiaoshou said angrily.

The masked man didn't respond.

"When ridiculed, passive value, +1."

Xu Xiaoshou clenched his fist and shouted again: "Ten-level sword fingers!"

The expected figure of the other party flickered or stagnated, but did not appear. Xu Xiaoshou watched him disappear at the end of the road.

"guessed wrong?"

He pondered, a little unsure.

The opponent's sword move that hurt him a moment ago really looked like an attachment to the sword's intention.

But it's impossible. I just saw that unconstrained sword move from Lingzang Pavilion, and now someone is using it?

"It should be the first impression..."

Xu Xiaoshou shook his head to get rid of this ridiculous idea and decided to leave.

What the other party steals and how he steals it has nothing to do with him, as long as his murder is not exposed.

Judging from that person's temperament, he probably wouldn't be exposed.

Of course, no one would believe a thief who sneaked into the spiritual palace on a rainy night, even if he really exposed his murder.

Xu Xiaoshou thought this person was very strange and might be in big trouble, and he didn't want to get involved.

"Go back to sleep!"

"I hope it won't happen again..."

"Bah! Shut up!"

Xu Xiaoshou slapped his face hard and decided to turn around and leave, but he stopped again.

As far as the eye could see, the masked man ran back from the end of the road, and his figure seemed to be a little more busy.

Xu Xiaoshou thought about it, turned around and ran away, using all his energy to feed.

Because he saw that behind this guy, there was a large wave of law enforcement officers from Lingfa Pavilion.

"What a coincidence!"

It was impossible for these law enforcement officers to discover the masked man so quickly. The only reason for their appearance could only be that their fight just now was too loud and provoked these people.

Although someone else assassinated him first, he was the one who killed the person in the end. Xu Xiaoshou was very panicked.

"call out!"

A shadow passed by and stood directly in front of Xu Xiaoshou.

Masked man!

Why is this so damn fast? Is he really playing me?

Xu Xiaoshou couldn't hold back his momentum and directly bumped into him. The masked man was not knocked away, but picked him up and clamped him around his waist.

"I won't kill you. You just put on a show. I'll leave the spiritual palace and put you back!" The hoarse voice that had been sawed appeared again.

I believe you!

Xu Xiaoshou was about to struggle, but he didn't expect that this guy suddenly inserted a finger into the back of his waist, and the terrifying sword energy instantly ravaged the inside of his body, breaking it into pieces.

"Huh? With such surging vitality, it's okay!"

The masked man instantly noticed something strange, and the sword energy became more dense, like small knives flying through Xu Xiaoshou's body, suppressing the "endless" recovery power.

"Attacked, passive value, +1."

"Attacked, passive value, +1."

"..."

The information bar suddenly stopped the downtime and started working.

"Puff!" Xu Xiaoshou spurted out a mouthful of blood and completely lost his ability to move.

His face turned black. He got out of the dragon's den and fell into the tiger's den again?

This guy was really acting himself. The control of this sword intent was too terrible. He was many times stronger than him.

He was about to cry. Why did he meet such big guys?

Forget about Sang Lao. This guy is still one of his own. Although he tortured people, he also brought him many benefits.

This masked man who didn't know where he came from, just based on his sword intent cultivation, he must have the power of a master!

"Let me go."

"No."

Xu Xiaoshou was stunned for a moment. Why did he feel familiar? What happened?

"Let me go, I will help you leave the Ling Palace!" He said sincerely.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"I don't believe you!"

Xu Xiaoshou: "..."

So angry!

But he was helpless!

He held his breath. To be honest, the pain in his body was not that bad. He was used to it. It was just that his body was restrained and he couldn't move. Only his mouth could barely speak.

Xu Xiaoshou continued to fool him: "I tell you, you'd better let me go. There are many people behind me. Does Qiao Qianzhi know him? The elder of Lingshi Pavilion..."

"No? It doesn't matter if you don't know him. What about Xiao Qixiu? He is the elder of Lingfa Pavilion..."

"You haven't heard of this? Then you should..."

Xu Xiaoshou suddenly became quiet. He felt that his words were a bit like the threatening tone of a villain after being caught. This was definitely asking for death!

Who would have thought that the masked man was stunned when he heard the word "Sang Lao" and said: "He is back?"

"Who?" Xu Xiaoshou was startled.

"Sang Lao!"

"I don't know him." Xu Xiaoshou said calmly.

Masked man: "..."

"Cursed, passive value, +1."
