Cheng Jiaxuan was very reluctant, but she did not want to disobey him. The most troublesome thing was that just now she was in a hurry to escape, the Residual Shadow Sword was still in the thatched grass pile inside the temple and had not been taken out yet. With her real ability and genuine skill, if she were to fight bare-handed, even if the opponent was an ordinary martial artist, she would not be her match. She would only be sending herself to her death. But it was rare that Jiang Liechen had something to ask of her, she could not refuse him right away. Her eyes were still fixed on the situation inside the temple. The one walking toward their hiding place was the reckless Third Brother. Perhaps she could sneak attack him and subdue him, and then she could retrieve the Residual Shadow Sword, and then she would not have to be afraid of them.
"Go!" Jiang Liechen urged her. "What are you waiting for? Interrogate them first, and then kill them all. Crazy scoundrels who disturb my meditation, I must not let any of them off! "
"Wait … wait … I have an idea!" Cheng Jiaxuan said. She waited until the Third Brother went around the pillar and turned into a blind spot. Quickly she sprang her foot and tripped him, and then she hooked him. The Third Brother thought that even if there were enemies, they would be sick and leaning against the corner of the wall, without even the strength to lift their arms. That was why he volunteered to search for them, but he did not expect to be sneak attacked. Usually when he walked, his feet were high and his feet were low, so when he was swept, he lost his balance and threw himself down with open arms. His body was tall and strong, like a thick iron tower. When he threw himself down, it was not much different from raising his hand to catch someone.
Cheng Jiaxuan kicked the Shenshu acupoint on his waist, and then she leaped up. Under the Third Brother's control, she punched the Juque acupoint on his chest. When her third brother fought, he only flaunted his bravery and fierceness, randomly chopping and killing. In reality, his martial arts were mediocre, and his internal energy was even inferior to hers. Being attacked by her in one breath, he cried out "Ah!" and fell backwards, landing heavily on a hard piece of ground. His cry of pain was even more miserable. Cheng Jiaxuan did not give him any time to recover, she immediately leaped forward. Flicking her sleeve, she took out a dagger and pressed it against the Third Brother's neck.
The Third Brother angrily said, "Where did this stupid girl come from? Was he in cahoots with that devil? A few of my brothers are on the side. When they hear the sound, they will immediately come to help. Let me advise you, if you know what's good for you, you'd better let me go as soon as possible. Perhaps I can plead a few words on your behalf. Otherwise, once they arrive, they will capture you and tear you to pieces. "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "In the present situation, I don't know who is more disadvantageous. I still have you as a hostage in my hands. As long as they make the slightest move, I will be able to slit your throat with a slight cut on my wrist. Traveling together on the road to the Yellow Springs is also very good, I won't be lonely! "She said these few words, but her heart was also extremely uneasy, she didn't have a guarantee of victory. If by any chance he had a fiery temper and did not hesitate to fight to the death, that would be unacceptable.
Fortunately, the Third Brother was shaken by her words, and the threatening look on his face disappeared. He pleaded, "Miss, I beg you, please don't kill me! What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything! "
Cheng Jiaxuan laughed and said, "Alright, I'll consider you obedient. Obedient people, I have never killed. "The Third Brother gratefully said," Yes … thank … thank you very much for Miss' mercy. "Cheng Jiaxuan laughed and said," Tell me first, are the five of you Di brothers? You came from afar, what honorable business do you have? "
The Third Brother said, "We are not blood relatives. Originally, we were robbers who ran amuck in the Hedong region. Later on one day, in order to steal a cart full of silver, we had a fight. Our martial art skill was equal, so we sympathized with each other. Later on, we went to a small restaurant to drink wine, we talked and talked, we had similar interests, we regretted that we did not meet earlier. Therefore, the same day we went to the temple to pick some grass to form an alliance. Based on age and age, we became sworn brothers. In the vicinity of our ancestral home, we committed not a few sensational major crimes, and were called … "
"That's right," Cheng Jiaxuan said, "Just now I heard you mention it, I think you are called something like 'Hedong Wu Shu'." "Five Tigers," the Third Brother said. Cheng Jiaxuan said, "Look at you, which part of you looks like a tiger? You are a hero with a mouse, naturally you have the character 'Shu' in your name. Alright, whatever I say is right, you are not allowed to argue with me. Tell me, what good deed did you come here? Tell me honestly! " The Third Brother said, "We heard the news from the Noble Consort Yun that we are going to the desolate village of Hetu La to look for a treasure …" "Since it is a desolate village, how can there be a treasure?" Cheng Jiaxuan said.
The Third Brother said, "I heard it is underground, there is an ancient tomb. I am not too sure. But even if we don't come here for the treasure, just by digging up a noble's mausoleum, there must be a lot of treasures buried with them, enough for us brothers to make a fortune. "" What treasure is that? "Cheng Jiaxuan asked. The Third Brother said," I only know it is called 'Death Chop'. Other than that … Xiao Ren really does not know. Miss, please do me a good deed … "Cheng Jiaxuan heard that what he said was consistent with what they had discussed in private, so he guessed that he was not lying to him. He nodded and said," Alright, now you call out, let your brothers come and find you. "
The Third Brother thought she was being sarcastic, he hastily said, "Miss, the Heaven is my witness, I don't dare to betray Miss!" Cheng Jiaxuan shouted, "Are you going to call out or not? If you don't, I am going to kill you first! " She pretended to push the dagger, the Third Brother suddenly felt pain on his neck, he screamed loudly, "Big Brother, Second Brother … Ay, Fourth Brother, they are here, I have found them, aiyo, aiyo …"
Hearing the scream, the four of them rushed out excitedly, only to see a young girl had a dagger pressed against their Third Brother's throat, his face was covered in tears and snot. The humiliation of his brother had caused him to lose face as well. The fourth brother shouted, "Demoness, are you alone? Let go of my Third Brother! " Cheng Jiaxuan laughed and said, "That's right, I am the only one who is human, you are all big and small rats, squeaking and squeaking, stealing oil to eat."
The old man angrily said, "Who are you? Who has your back that you dare to be this savage? " Cheng Jiaxuan said, "My identity is not important, I only want you to repeat your conversation to me, sentence by sentence." The Fourth Brother angrily said, "Do you think we are here to tell stories and sing opera for you?"
Cheng Jiaxuan sighed, he quietly reached behind his back and tried to divert everybody's attention. "I don't know if you want to drink or not," he said. "What does it have to do with wine?" The Second Brother said, "Little girl, if you want to treat us to wine as an apology, we are very picky about our taste. Don't try to fool us with those inferior wines that can't be brought to the table." Cheng Jiaxuan said, "Do you have … very high requirements for wine?" "That's right," the Second Brother said, "If it's not second-class wine or higher, I won't even touch my lips."
Cheng Jiaxuan's palm had already reached into the haystack and firmly grasped the hilt of his sword. This time he had nothing to fear. He smiled and said, "There are many kinds of wine, but there are also two kinds of wine that are the simplest. One is called 'toast wine', when you drink it, everybody will be happy. The other is called 'punishment wine', but you are so stupid that you don't want to drink the toast only to drink the punishment wine!"
The old man coldly said, "Boasting, boasting, which one don't you know? What kind of ability do you have to convince us? "Cheng Jiaxuan pretended to hesitate, he scratched his head and thought carefully." Oh, "he said," This is difficult. Very well, let's see who's the real deal. I am going to use this sword to defeat you quickly, so that you will be convinced. "Everybody saw that this young girl was so weak that if the wind blew, she would be blown away; even a finger could crush her to death. Hearing her arrogant words, everybody was angry. The Fourth Brother stepped forward to help the Third Brother up. "Little witch," he said, "Go ahead and attack us, let's see if we can evade."
"I am afraid you won't be able to evade," Cheng Jiaxuan said. With a flick of his wrist, the haystack wrapped around the Afterimage Sword was chopped into pieces. With the back of his hand, a 'clang' sound was heard. Immediately several rays of sword aura, big and small, appeared in front of her eyes, enveloping the several brothers inside.
The Third Brother saw her turn around to fight, he suddenly leaped up from the ground, wanting to launch a sneak attack from behind. Cheng Jiaxuan thrust the hilt of his sword backward and hit his forehead. The Third Brother saw stars and fell down on the ground. Surrounded by the halo, the old man's hands and feet were not able to move freely. Taking advantage of her distraction, the sword aura weakened, he raised his broadsword and hacked down toward the center of her body. However, this was not a weak point. As the saber landed, the palm of his hand went numb, while the back of the saber rebounded. Luckily he raised his arm to block in time, so that his own saber did not cut his own head.
Cheng Jiaxuan had been using the Afterimage Sword for a long time, he brandished it again and again. The halo slowly shrunk, the old man's range of movement was getting smaller and smaller. He knew that when his internal energy reached the deepest level, the sword aura could also be used as a weapon to injure people, but he did not dare to let his body come into contact with it. Until his arms could no longer fit on his sides, he had no choice but to raise his arms high to buy himself some time. With his arms hanging, he continued to brandish his sword to attack.
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "You raised your hands, are you surrendering?" She saw the opening on his side, the Afterimage Sword was linked to her mind. As soon as she had this thought, the tip of her sword turned and slightly lowered, cutting horizontally. The old man's arm was in severe pain, he fell back. Cheng Jiaxuan pulled her hand back to retrieve the halo, the old man also fell down on the ground. The Second Brother was startled. Cheng Jiaxuan's sword followed the halo and arrived in front of him. She swung her sword toward his neck.
The Second Brother did not expect that as soon as she appeared, she launched a killing move; he tilted his head to evade. Cheng Jiaxuan's fist hit his navel, and with a backhand kick, he also fell down. She swung her sword toward the Fourth Brother's head. Just as she was about to touch his head, she slightly turned the back of her hand, so that the flat blade of the sword hit the Fourth Brother's forehead. The Fourth Brother still thought he was dead, his legs went soft and he also fell down on the ground. Cheng Jiaxuan leaped over his body and thrust her sword toward the Fifth Brother, who was standing on the side.
The Fifth Brother raised his scabbard to block. The moment Cheng Jiaxuan's sword hit the scabbard, she felt as if all her strength was being sucked into the vast ocean. Ever since she became a martial art expert by relying on her sword, this was the first time she encountered such a situation. She could not help but panic. Even though she knew she had lost, the Fifth Brother staggered several steps backward, supported himself on the incense table, and then he also fell down on his butt.
This time Cheng Jiaxuan did not know what to do. Her martial art skill was not high, so it was difficult for her to investigate many details. She did not know whether this person was faking his defeat, or if he was really defeated by her. But this was the time to establish her prestige. Hastily she cleared her mind and raised her sword, shouting, "Do you admit defeat?"
Everybody saw the sword in her hand, the sword aura surrounding her body, layer upon layer of flowing light, her divine power was awe-inspiring. They also thought that they were called one of the Five Tigers of Hedong in vain, but unexpectedly they were defeated by this little girl. They had lost all their face, their bones could not be hard anymore. With a bitter laugh the old man said, "Miss' martial art skill is superior, the old man is sincerely convinced. Miss, please tell us your name, so that we, five useless people, will know which heroine we have been defeated by. "
Cheng Jiaxuan used to cover her face and commit murder, so the disciples of various sects all thought she was a Devil Cult assassin. Nobody had ever thought to ask her her honorable surname and great name. This was the first time she had encountered such a question. After a short pause she said, "I am a nobody in the Wulin world, my insignificant name is not worth mentioning. You don't recognize me, but you must recognize this sword, right? "While saying that, she pointed the Residual Shadow Sword diagonally to the ground in front of the five people.
The old man saw that under the bright sunlight, the gemstone inlaid on the sword hilt faintly reflected seven-colored rays of light, and the sword was enveloped in a layer of gloomy evil aura. His heart was shaken, his mind was seized. It took him half a day to regain his consciousness. He felt that there was no other sword in the world that could match this sword. This must be the rumored top-notch supreme sword. Greatly shaken, he stammered, "This … isn't this … the Residual Shadow Sword?"
"Exactly," Cheng Jiaxuan said. You have good eyesight! " The Second Brother called out, "Everybody says that the Devil Cult's witch wielding the Residual Shadow Sword is committing murder everywhere, creating chaos everywhere … so it's you?"
