The sword is like rain

Chapter 106 The sword is like rain

A cliff a few miles away from the town.

There is a hidden cave in the steep cliff.

Between the earth and rocks, obscure formations cover the cave, blocking sight and breath.

In the cave, there are three figures.

The leader was dressed in linen clothes, and his appearance was unremarkable. He looked like an ordinary farmer.

But if Jiangnan was here, he would definitely be able to recognize him. This was one of the secret agents of the Xiuyi Mansion who supported Jian Xun at that time.

--silver fox.

"Boss, how long are we going to stay here? There's not much food and water left."

Behind him, a dark-skinned, slightly younger man reminded.

The silver fox crawled at the entrance of the cave, converging spiritual energy in its eyes, observing the town that had been turned into ruins.

This technique is called "Eagle Eye", and it is widely used in all major forces.

Whether it is a scout or a spy, basically it will.

And Yinhu, as a veteran embroidered spy, is naturally even more skilled.

Without turning his head, he replied: "Black Eagle, hold your breath, there are people chasing and killing us everywhere outside now."

"As for food and water, I'll think of another way."

Ten days ago, the spy sent out by the outpost to investigate "the Hongzhou cultivator was transferred away" had not returned for a long time.

The set date has passed.

At that time, Yinhu judged that they must have encountered an accident.

Afterwards, Jian Xun couldn't hold back anymore, and decided to go to the main city to find out.

Yinhu and others decided to wait in the small town to return.

However, word got out somewhere and they were exposed.

Late one night, a group of mysterious cultivators covered in black robes suddenly attacked the town.

In that battle, several spies on Silver Fox's side were lost, and only Silver Fox, Black Eagle, and White Pigeon escaped under cover.

But even so, they were still hunted down by unidentified cultivators.

——Until now, there are still mysterious people patrolling the ruins where the town is located.

As if in a demonstration, they strung the corpses of the dead spies on wooden sticks and exposed them to the sun for several days.

It seems that they want to use this to anger Yinhu and others.

But unfortunately, they were disappointed.

As a secret agent of the Xiuyi Mansion, if necessary, he can even give up his life to keep the secret.

Naturally, it is impossible to use emotions.

Even with the rage in their hearts, they can make decisions almost coldly.

This is the basic quality of being a spy.

"Baige, have you recorded the situation of those mysterious people?" Silver Fox asked.

Baige is a thin young man with a handsome appearance. For Silver Fox and Black Eagle, he is more like a teacher than a farmer.

And the spy's daily records and news analysis are also done by him.

For example, the black eagle is impatient, while the white dove is more calm.

"Boss, no problem." The white pigeon replied.

The means of these mysterious people are really strange, and they can use the divine channel method without relying on spiritual energy.

——This is very important information, so it is natural to record it in detail and find an opportunity to pass it on.

"But... what is their origin? They can cast spells even without aura..." White Pigeon sighed softly.

Although they are spies, they are not as strict with their own combat power as embroidered clothes.

But several of them are veterans, Silver Fox is a fifth-rank sword cultivator, Black Eagle is a sixth-rank warrior, and Baige is also a sixth-rank cultivator.

Those colleagues who are now strung on wooden sticks are not too far behind.

Such a battle is not low anywhere.

However, he couldn't stand the strange methods of those mysterious people, who came and went without a trace.

Not only that, but they also have the means to block spiritual energy.

What's even more weird is that even if the spirit energy within a few miles is blocked and frozen, Yinhu and the others can't even mobilize the slightest spirit energy.

They themselves can freely perform Taoism without the help of spiritual energy.

It was also because of this that Yinhu and the others, who were caught off guard, were defeated.

"I don't know." Silver Fox shook his head with a disappointed expression.

You must know that in Shangyuan's rank system, aura is the root and foundation of everything.

This has almost become an iron law that cannot be violated.

But those mysterious people who attacked suddenly blatantly violated this iron law.

"Boss, there is no news about Mole and Red Butterfly, I'm afraid..." Hei Ying walked to the entrance of the cave and looked towards the direction of the town.

He didn't finish his sentence, but Silver Fox knew what he meant.

After knowing that the aura paper crane was unable to send any news to the outside world, Jian Xun sent two spies, Mole and Red Butterfly, to the capital to ask for help with the information.

They agreed that if they successfully broke through Luoyang Road, one of them would return to the small town to inform, and the other would continue to report to the capital.

And Yinhu and the others took the risk to stay here to wait for their and Jian Xun's return.

However, nearly ten days have passed without any news.

Just as Hei Ying was about to continue to say something, his eyes suddenly focused, "Boss, look there!"

Silver Fox followed the prestige.

Under the clouds, a figure slowly landed and walked towards the direction of the town.

"This is!"

"It's the young man who was with Jian Xiuyi that day!"

Silver Fox's complexion changed wildly!

Although he didn't know Jiang Nan's identity, but he had traveled with Jian Xun, which proved that he was on the same front as them.

At this moment, Yinhu couldn't get out his consciousness to check the realm of Jiangnan.

But he guessed that Jiang Nan was so young, even if he had cultivation base, he shouldn't be too high.

What's more, those mysterious people also have the means to block the spiritual energy.

If the cultivation base is not much higher than them, it will be absolutely difficult to break through this blockade, and they can only be slaughtered by them.

In this way, this young man with the appearance of a playboy walked into a small town full of dangers.

Isn't that going to deliver?

"Boss, do you want to save him?" Hei Ying asked again.

There was a look of struggle in Silver Fox's eyes.

He had already left a code on the outskirts of the town. If Jian Xun and Mole came back, they would recognize it, so they became vigilant and did not approach the town.

But Jiang Nan obviously didn't recognize the signs between the spies, so he went straight to the town like this.

It also disrupted Silver Fox's plan.

Save or not?
Yinhu had a hard time making a choice.

This person has a close relationship with Jian Xiuyi, if not rescued, it is not suitable; but if rescued, maybe they have to get involved...

"Lets see."

Yinhu sighed, "Maybe those mysterious people don't know his identity, so they won't be embarrassed."

Hei Ying nodded, looked at Jiangnan in the distance, and muttered, "I can only wish this little boy good luck..."

Outside the town, Jiangnan landed on the ground.

The small town ahead was already in ruins, as if it had been burned by fire, leaving charred ruins behind.

And at the highest point of the ruins, several long wooden sticks pierced into the sky, and each wooden stick was strung with a shriveled corpse, hideous and terrifying.

Because with the improvement of Taoism, Jiangnan's memory has also been greatly strengthened.

Basically, it has reached the level of never forgetting.

So he recognized at a glance that among those corpses were the spies who had supported Jian Xun back then.

For a moment, his heart tightened.

After sweeping over, he was relieved to find that Jian Xun was not among the corpses.

Then, he began to analyze in his mind what happened.

According to Jian Xun, there is an outpost of Xiuyi Mansion in this small town.

It is unlikely that the one who caused the present situation is some bandit or bandit.

Although the spy's combat power is not as good as that of the embroidered clothes, it is more than enough for ordinary gangsters.

Therefore, this should be an attack on the outpost of Xiuyi Mansion.

Judging from the current results, it should be that the outpost was defeated.

But among the spies, there should be some who escaped.

Otherwise, the assailant would not have made such provocative behaviors as gangsters.

It's just that I don't know how many people are still alive at the outpost, and where Jian Xun is...

On the other hand, the arrival of Jiangnan also alarmed the people in the town.

Two figures shrouded in robes slowly came out from the shadow of the ruins.

They wore wide hoods, and their faces could not be seen clearly, but they were filled with a tyrannical aura and strong blood.

On his black robe, the dried blood scab showed a dark red color, and the smell was unpleasant.

From the looks of it, they should be the culprits who attacked the town in the first place.

Jiang Nan frowned, although he had no friendship with the spy at the outpost.

But those spies are also people from the Xiuyi Mansion, and they are also in the same camp as Jiangnan.

Now that there are inexplicably heavy casualties, he is naturally sullen.

The two men in black looked at each other, and the leader made a hoarse voice, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Jiang Nan narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked back, "Who are you? You killed these people?"

The black-robed man at the back let out a strange laugh, and said to his companion, "Hey, No. [-], I just said that he has something to do with the court eagle dog!"

The black-robed man known as No. [-] was silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "Then let's deal with it together, and the battle will be settled quickly."

"No problem!" The black-robed man at the back made a cruel voice, and violent killing intent erupted from him, enveloping Jiangnan in an instant!
He pushed out his hand, and a scorching heat wave erupted, and the flames rose up, frantically flocking to the south of the Yangtze River!

Jiang Nan frowned.

From the technique of the flame, he could feel the aura similar to that of Lu Yin's supernatural power back then.

This black-robed man cultivates the divine way!

"The trash of the imperial court, I'll send you to see them right away!" Under the hood was the man in black robe's crazy and distorted face, full of pleasure.

It seems to have seen Jiangnan being burned to ashes.

Seeing this, the No. [-] black-robed man on the side secretly sighed—Since No. [-] gained supernatural power, he has been extremely murderous. Originally, this operation was only aimed at the imperial court's outpost.

But he set fire to the whole town.

When the flames rushed towards his face, Jiang Nan's face remained unchanged, Qing Qing fell into his hands, and he slashed out with a light sword.

The sword energy turned into a raging torrent, and after blowing out the sea of ​​flames, the momentum remained undiminished, rushing towards the man in black!
The latter's face changed wildly, and he drew back!

The torrent of sword energy rushed past him, completely slicing his left arm into pieces!
And after the sword qi passed by for a moment, the bright red blood sprayed out from his shoulder, and sprinkled on the scorched ground!

"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!"

The man in black let out a roar that shook the sky, and his hood was blown off by the gust of sword energy, revealing a face covered with insect-like pitch-black lines!

In pain, with incomparable horror!
The next moment, No. [-] pulled up his broken body and retreated a few feet!

And in the cave in the distance, Yinhu and the others who had been observing the situation of the town were shocked!

They have fought against the man in black, so they naturally know the strength of the other party.

But what happened just now made the three of them look straight.

This seemingly weak young man almost killed a sixth rank with a single sword!
But at this moment, No. [-], who had distanced himself from Jiangnan and stabilized his figure, had cold sweat on his forehead.

No. [-] is not weak, and has the complete combat power of the sixth rank.

But even so, he was almost beheaded by the young man with a sword!

No. [-]'s brain reverberated with the amazing sword just now, and he simulated it countless times, but found that even if he was changed to the fifth-rank himself, it was still difficult to catch it!
This young man... is invincible!
And when he was shocked, Jiang Nan also approached them step by step.

Every step is like stepping hard on No. [-]'s heart, making him feel the terrifying pressure!
No. [-] gritted his teeth, raised his finger to the sky, and a strange ripple swayed around him like a water wave.

As if calling.

All of a sudden, within a radius of several miles, streams of aura shot up into the sky!

Running towards the town at top speed!

A moment later, there were six men in black robes standing behind number three like ghosts!
Adding the two people at the beginning, there were eight men in black in total.

Jiangnan's consciousness scanned and found that the breath strength of one of them was about rank five, and the rest were rank six.

No. [-]'s eyes were gloomy, and he said hoarsely: "End the formation!"

Several people moved after hearing the sound, stepped on their feet, and shot out quickly, forming a circle around Jiangnan!
In a trend of encirclement.

Immediately afterwards, a faint golden light overflowed from them, connected with each other, and turned into a huge golden light circle, completely covering the surrounding area of ​​tens of feet!

The next moment, the aura froze.

Seeing this scene, Yinhu's expression suddenly changed!
coming!

That weird formation that banned aura!
"Boss!" Black Eagle looked anxious.

Yinhu was struggling in his heart, clenched his fists tightly, and his nails almost sank into his flesh.

After a long time, his face became ruthless!
"Don't move, I'll go!"

"I will take him away at the right time, but no matter whether it succeeds or not, you should not act without authorization!"

After all, he rushed out of the cave.

After seeing Jiangnan's terrifying combat power, the balance in his heart was tilted towards rescue.

Take a gamble!
The bet won, and Jiangnan was added to their side, and their strength increased greatly.

He lost the bet, he died with Jiang Nan, and there were Black Eagle and White Dove to keep the information.

At this moment, the golden aperture has been fully formed.

No. [-] showed peace of mind, looked at Jiangnan and said, "You are very strong, but it's useless. All Taoist moves in the Lingling Circle are vain."

Feeling the frozen aura, Jiangnan suddenly realized that it was so, no wonder the spies at the outpost suffered heavy casualties.

This method of banning spiritual energy is extremely fatal to a humane cultivator.

But... for him, it's useless.

In the eyes of No. [-] who is holding the winning ticket, Jiang Nan slowly raised Qing Qing.

No. [-] looked cold and shook his head, "It's a waste of effort, sword moves are useless..."

What interrupted his words was Jian Guang soaring into the sky.

In the astonished eyes of everyone, countless sword qi descended from the sky, densely covering every inch of space!
The rain of swords is all over the sky!

At the same time, Silver Fox was already approaching the town.

But before he could make another move, the town in front of him was completely enveloped by the dazzling sword light.

In the eyes of Yinhu, who is also a sword cultivator, it is like a continuous autumn rain, falling gently on the world.

Beautiful and deadly.
