Chapter 181 Tianlong Inn (Part )

"He is the hemp-robed swordsman Qin Ku, the 'ghost-fearing' Qin Ku?" Upon hearing Qin Ku's name, Xu Heng subconsciously exclaimed, "The sixth-ranked master on the Dragon Elephant Ranking?"

Liu Xunyi was slightly stunned by Xu Heng's words. He turned to look at Qin Ku, and suddenly an indescribable thoughtfulness emerged in his eyes.

Liu Xunyi was not surprised by Qin Ku's identity, but was trying to guess why Qin Ku came. Such a master suddenly appeared near Shaolin Temple. Could it be related to the ten-year war between the Pan and Qin families? Such a coincidence was bound to arouse suspicion.

"Qin Ku?"

Long Yu seemed to be trying to remember this name, muttering it repeatedly. At the same time, his face became more and more solemn. Liu Xunyi alone was not easy to deal with, and now with Qin Ku, it would be even more difficult to succeed tonight.

It’s just that Long Yu is crazy by nature. The more impossible something seems to ordinary people, the more he wants to try it.

"This guy... wants to fight two people alone?" Pan Yuyin asked timidly, standing behind Xu Heng.

Pan Chuba's old eyes flickered with a long-lost excitement, and he said meaningfully: "It is the most precious thing in the world to meet a worthy opponent. We can have a hearty contest without fear of life and death. Even if we die, it is not a bad thing. This feeling... I haven't experienced it for decades..."

"Come on all of you!" Long Yu laughed arrogantly, "There are so many martial arts masters in the Central Plains? I'd like to see some of them! Haha..."

Accompanied by a burst of unruly laughter, Long Yu took the lead and suddenly flew between Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku. With the sword's tip swift and the sword's shadow flying, he fought with Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku without fear.

"Clang clang clang!"

Long Yu was able to take advantage of both sides, dancing with his sword under the joint attack of Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku. The three of them were masters among masters, Liu Xunyi's sword moved like a dragon, Qin Ku's knife was as sharp as a tiger, and Long Yu fought back hard under the siege of the dragon and tiger, his moves were as fast as lightning, and his movements were as fast as a snake. With his superior body skills, he was able to fight two people alone with ease and did not lose the upper hand for a while.

It's not that Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku's martial arts are weaker than Long Yu's, but because Long Yu has been fighting in the army for many years, fighting among thousands of soldiers and horses, and risking his life under swords and weapons, so he has long developed the ability to fight against many enemies alone.

Long Yu can find a place to hide in the rain of swords and arrows, and a place to stand in the open and dark swords. Therefore, his ability to defeat the enemy with fewer people is extremely superb. Whether it is intuition, experience or moves, they are all refined and simple. Fast, accurate and ruthless are not only his offense, but also his defense.

Without this ability, Long Yu would not have survived until today.

"Good work!"

Liu Xunyi gave a heartfelt compliment. After dozens of rounds of fighting, he had gradually realized that Long Yu's martial arts style did not come from a martial arts sect, but rather seemed to come from the orthodox style of the imperial court, a way of killing people that he had practiced day after day.

Liu Xunyi, who was also born in the imperial court, was extremely sensitive to the subtle differences in martial arts. The masters in the martial arts world and the masters trained by the imperial court had different starting points and goals, so their martial arts styles were also different.

People in the Jianghu practice martial arts to pursue excellence and to go further. The imperial court trains masters with the ultimate goal of killing others with the quickest and simplest moves while protecting itself.

Although he had noticed something strange in Long Yu's moves, Liu Xunyi did not break the window paper in public.

The moves made by the three were all extremely fierce and exquisite.

Qin Ku's swordsmanship was fierce and domineering. Long Yu's swordsmanship was treacherous and varied. Liu Xunyi was good at both offense and defense, waiting for the right opportunity to move, and was orderly, often bringing the most deadly threat to Long Yu.

Watching the three of them fighting was like watching a wonderful drama. Xu Heng and the others were all amazed, and even Pan Chuba, a former martial arts master, couldn't help but feel his blood boiling and secretly exclaimed that it was great.

"Every move is fatal, every step is dangerous. The fight between the three of them is a life-or-death struggle. If anyone shows the slightest flaw, he will be dead in an instant." Tang Cong said with emotion, "Even my 'Shadow' will not be able to escape unscathed from this battle."

Twenty rounds, testing each other. Thirty rounds, competing against each other. Fifty rounds, standing on equal terms.

Starting from the 70th round, Liu Xunyi has gradually figured out Long Yu's methods. At the same time, the tacit understanding between him and Qin Ku has become more and more sophisticated, and is even getting better.

In a battle between masters, especially when it is one against two, if two people in the same position cannot cooperate well, not only will they fail to achieve half the result, but on the contrary they will suffer. It is better for one person to use his skills to the fullest extent.

But if two people cooperate well, they can often achieve extraordinary power.

Therefore, after the three of them fought for seventy rounds, Long Yu gradually fell into a disadvantage under the siege of Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku.

Qin Ku led the way, his sword was as fierce as a thousand horses galloping, and like a raging sea, forcing Long Yu to not dare to fight him head-on. In addition, Liu Xunyi waited for an opportunity to move, with ghostly sword shadows and tricky moves. His killer moves were hidden under Qin Ku's offensive, and the sword was mixed in the sword shadows, making Long Yu unable to defend himself and had to retreat step by step.

At this moment, Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku were fighting more and more fiercely, and their fighting became smoother and smoother. On the other hand, Long Yu was becoming more and more passive, and gradually he felt a little powerless.

"Take this opportunity to kill him!"

Qin Ku shouted, and his huge figure soared into the sky, slashing in mid-air. In an instant, thousands of knife shadows whizzed down like a torrential rain, "clang clang clang" heavily slashing down on the lobby of the inn, instantly sweeping the tables, chairs and benches around Long Yu into pieces, and leaving terrifying knife marks several inches deep on the ground.

Liu Xunyi took advantage of the situation and stepped out in a series of steps, instantly approaching Long Yu and swung the sword in his hand. In an instant, the sword energy was strong, like a rainbow piercing the sun, and with a "swoosh" sound, it went straight to Long Yu's heart.

"Humph!"

At this critical moment, Long Yu, who was attacked from both sides, had to retreat again and again. He fled in a panic amid the flash of swords and shadows. In the blink of an eye, he had retreated to the door of the inn. Following him were several swift sword shadows and a rainbow-like sword energy.

Long Yu leaped sideways without thinking, and rolled to the side in a very embarrassing manner. Blades of light slammed into the door with a loud bang. At the same time, the sword energy came in unison, and with a loud bang, the door of the inn suddenly exploded in all directions, and the violent storm outside the door poured into the lobby in an instant.

The strong wind brought with it heavy rain, just like a tidal wave and thunder, which forced Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku, who were about to rush over, to retreat.

Long Yu barely dodged the attack, then flipped over and leapt towards Pan Chuba and others on the second floor.

He changed his tactics in times of danger, not seeking to be aboveboard, but resorting to despicable sneak attacks. This made Liu Xunyi even more certain that his origins were definitely not what the Jianghu sect had guessed.

"not good!"

"Bang!" Seeing Long Yu rushing towards him, Xu Heng was immediately shocked. He was about to use his sword to block it, but he saw the window at the end of the corridor on the second floor was suddenly broken. Then, a white shadow came like a dragon, riding the wind and rain.

In a flash, Long Yu saw a silver light flash before his eyes, and then it went straight to his forehead with a whoosh. Its momentum was as strong as Qin Ku's.

Long Yu barely avoided the silver light's sudden attack and hurriedly turned around and jumped onto the beam. At the same time, the silver light "clanged" and penetrated deeply into the wall. Long Yu then saw clearly that the one who attacked him just now was actually a silver spear.

Long Yu shouted coldly: "Who is coming this time?"

"I would like to ask you this question?"

A cold voice sounded from the end of the corridor, and a white figure passed through the window like a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, he was beside Xu Heng. He stretched out his hand to pull out the silver spear, while looking at the dragon feather on the beam with a cold look.

"Seventh Master!"

Upon seeing this person, Liu Xunyi, Xu Heng and others immediately showed expressions of surprise and joy.

The person who came was one of the seven heroes of the Xianwang Palace, "Snow-clad Silver Dragon" Murong Bai.

Murong Bai stared at the fierce-looking Long Yu expressionlessly, and asked calmly: "Who are you? Why are you making things difficult for my disciple from the Xianwang Mansion?"

"Are you also from the Xianwang Mansion?" Long Yu stared at Murong Bai thoughtfully, then waved the dagger in his hand and grinned, "So what? I will kill you anyway!"

Before he finished speaking, Long Yu had already flown towards Murong Bai. Before Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku could step forward to help, Murong Bai's voice had already been heard: "No one is allowed to interfere!"

After saying that, Murong Bai raised the gun in one hand, paused, and immediately leaped into the sky, heading straight towards Qin Ku in mid-air.

"Clang clang clang!"

Murong Bai's spear was as powerful as thunder, swift and unstoppable. Long Yu was finding it harder and harder to fight. He had just fought with Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku for a long time, and had already used up most of his energy. How could he be Murong Bai's opponent now?

Therefore, under Murong Bai's dense, vast and long attack, Long Yu struggled to resist for more than twenty rounds, but he had no room to fight back and was defeated in a very embarrassing way.

"What a beautiful spearmanship!" Long Yu stared at Murong Bai sullenly, and said with a smile. After that, he looked around at Liu Xunyi, Qin Ku, and Murong Bai with a complicated look, hesitated for a moment, suddenly snorted coldly, and turned quickly towards the door of the inn, and instantly got into a dark storm.

"This man is a martial arts expert with unknown origins. If we let him go, there will be endless trouble. Don't let him get away!"

Murong Bai shouted coldly, and immediately rushed out of the inn together with Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku.

"call!"

However, just as the three of them rushed to the door, a "huge monster" suddenly strode into the inn from the violent rainy night.

This person stood at the door of the inn, and his huge body blocked the door. The person who came was Long Yu's personal attendant, Ya Kun.

Ya Kun held two huge axes for splitting mountains, his face was ferocious, and hoarse roars came out of his throat from time to time, like a terrifying monster with a greedy look in his eyes.

"This..." Qin Ku looked at the Ya Kun in front of him in astonishment. The Ya Kun was much bigger than himself, and was suddenly speechless. "What... is this thing?"

“A good dog stays out of the way!”

Murong Bai snorted coldly and attacked Ya Kun first. He flew up and stabbed Ya Kun in the face with his spear, but Ya Kun blocked it with his axe and then pushed forward fiercely, pushing Murong Bai back more than ten meters before he managed to stabilize himself.

"Roar!"

Ya Kun let out a low roar, like the death knell of hell, which made people feel uneasy.

"What a great strength!" Murong Bai stared at Ya Kun in amazement, then turned to Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku and shouted, "Let's go together!"

With a shout, Murong Bai rushed forward again with his gun, and Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku flew up at the same time.

In mid-air, a gun, a knife, and a sword whizzed up at the same time and smashed hard on the top of Ya Kun's head.

Ya Kun suddenly raised the giant axe with both hands and blocked it above his head. Three loud "clang clang clang" sounds rang out almost simultaneously. In an instant, guns, knives, and swords fell on the axe one after another.

Unfortunately, this move still failed to break Ya Kun's defense. On the other hand, Ya Kun roared with ferocious features, and then suddenly raised his arms upwards, instantly knocking Liu Xunyi, Murong Bai, and Qin Ku flying out, and they all fell in a mess in the distance.

"Is he... a human?"

When Liu Xunyi and the other two looked up at Ya Kun again, their eyes were all filled with horror.

Liu Xunyi and the other two were all experts among experts. In terms of strength alone, they were definitely incomparable to ordinary people. But now, the three of them combined their strength, not only could they not shake the monster in front of them, but they were also bounced away by him. This shows how terrifying this person's strength is.
"Yakun, let's go!"

Under the gazes of shock and fear, Long Yu's voice suddenly came from outside the inn. Ya Kun glared at Liu Xunyi and the other two fiercely, then slowly put down his axe, turned around suddenly, and leaned over to get out of the dilapidated door of the inn.

Was it out of shock or fear? Liu Xunyi and the others watched Long Yu and Ya Kun leave, but no one took a step to chase them.

Until the two figures, one tall and one short, big and one small, rose and fell and gradually disappeared at the end of the rainy night.
