Volume 17: The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword (Part 2) Chapter 388 Outside the Long Pavilion
Tang Du has Tang Du’s affairs, and Su Weiyun of course has his own affairs.
He killed Bai Xiaosheng, the first military strategist of the Jinqian Gang, and injured Shangguan Jinhong's son, ruining his plan. There was no way Shangguan Jinhong would let it go.
However, it is very difficult for Shangguan Jinhong to kill him. At least he has to set up a perfect plan first, invite countless masters, and surround him layer by layer before he can deal with Su Weiyun.
What Su Weiyun needs to do is very simple - he doesn't have to fight to the death with Shangguan Jinhong, but just needs to destroy his plans and arrangements.
Tavern.
This small hotel located next to Xingyunzhuang has never had a prosperous business, but with the recent prosperity and the rush of travelers, the hunchbacked owner actually made a small profit.
Su Weiyun came to the tavern again, and the owner recognized him.
There were two other people in the store who also knew him.
One is a girl with braids, and the other is a frequent visitor, Li Xunhuan .
But what was strange was that the girl with braids did not stay with Old Man Tianji this time, but stayed here with Li Xunhuan.
The first thing Su Weiyun asked when she entered the room was, "Girl, where is your grandfather ?"
The girl with braids said, "Grandpa has gone to the pavilion outside the city."
Su Weiyun asked, "The pavilion outside the city? What is he doing there?"
The girl with braids said, "Waiting for someone. He went there to wait for someone."
Su Weiyun asked, "Who are you waiting for?"
"Shangguan Jinhong!"
The girl with pigtails said, "Shangguan Jinhong never rides in a car or a horse. He always likes to walk. He often says that a person is born with two legs just to walk. He will definitely pass by there when he leaves the city this time."
Su Weiyun had a bad feeling and suddenly asked, "Did he go alone?"
The girl with braids smiled and said, "So what if he's alone? Are you worried that he can't be a match for Shangguan Jinhong?"
In the mind of the girl with braids, old man Tianji is of course omnipotent and invincible, so she is not worried at all.
Su Weiyun said no more, turned around and left.
…
Outside the city.
The night outside the city is always thicker and deeper than that inside.
Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road.
There was silence between heaven and earth, and occasionally the whisper of one or two autumn insects could be heard in the evening breeze.
The sound of autumn insects seems even more desolate and lonely in the autumn wind.
There are no stars or moon here, and no lights can be seen.
In the dark night, one could only see a faint firelight inside the pavilion, flickering on and off. When the firelight was bright, one could make out the shadow of a person in the pavilion.
That shadow is Old Man Tianji.
Not all masters are like Shangguan Jinhong, domineering and powerful, but people often think so. Therefore, people often cannot guess that an ordinary old storyteller is actually the one who possesses the Tianji Stick, which ranks first on the Weapon List!
Su Weiyun walked very fast. When he was about to reach the pavilion, two flames appeared on the road in the distance.
There were two lanterns, tall lanterns.
The lantern is golden yellow and held high on a thin bamboo pole.
Under the golden light, you can see that the people holding the lamps are also wearing golden clothes, and even their faces have been reflected yellow by the light.
If a man who travels around the world sees them, he will recognize that they are from the Money Gang.
There were two people walking in the middle of the lantern.
One of them was wearing clothes of such radiant gold that he was so dazzling that he could be seen in the dark even without the light of a lantern.
The other person followed closely in his footsteps, walking in a very rhythmic manner. Their steps were exactly the same, and the sounds were extremely unique. In the vast universe, it seemed as if they were singing an ancient ballad.
The person in front takes the first step, the person behind takes the second step, the person in front takes the third step, and the person behind takes the fourth step. They never take a wrong step.
This level of footwork coordination may not be considered amazing in a battle, but it is obvious that the two of them, walking and stopping, have integrated their tacit understanding into their most ordinary walking, which is very scary.
These are Shangguan Jinhong and Jing Wuming.
Su Weiyun looked from afar and saw that Jing Wuming's sword had moved from the right to the left.
He switched to using the sword in his right hand.
No one except himself knew that his right-hand sword was faster and sharper than his left-hand sword!
He seemed to have been frustrated in his battle with Su Weiyun, so he decided to use his best trick.
Shangguan Jinhong suddenly stopped in front of the pavilion because he saw old man Tianji.
The wind blew gently.
Sparks flickered.
Elder Tianji said, "Master Shangguan is late."
Shangguan Jinhong said: "It's not too late."
Elder Tianji said, "I just want to persuade you to go back."
Shangguan Jinhong remained calm and said, "What does Xiao Li Fei Dao have to do with you? I'm here to kill him, what does it have to do with you?"
Elder Tianji said calmly: "It cannot be said."
Shangguan Jinhong frowned.
The moment he frowned, Jing Wuming immediately grasped the sword!
The murderous intent immediately filled the entire pavilion.
Even the autumn insects suddenly became quiet.
Old man Tianji just took a long puff of the cigarette and exhaled slowly.
The smoke that came out of his mouth was originally a very thin and long column.
Then, the column of smoke slowly began to bend and change in a very strange way, and suddenly it bent and shot in front of Shangguan Jinhong!
Shangguan Jinhong seemed surprised.
But at this moment, the smoke dissipated in an instant.
Shangguan Jinhong focused on the smoke that was dispersing in an instant, his brows relaxed, and his hands that were tightly holding the dragon and phoenix rings slowly loosened.
Jing Wuming's hand also left the hilt of the sword.
Shangguan Jinhong suddenly bowed deeply and said, "I admire you."
Old Man Tianji said, "I dare not."
Shangguan Jinhong said slowly: "I didn't expect that Elder Tianji's skills have improved compared to seventeen years ago. It seems that there is no one in the world who can rival you."
Old Man Tianji smiled and said, "There are many talented people in the martial arts world. As far as I know, the Songyang Iron Sword, Wenhou Iron Halberd, and Snow Magic Knife in the weapon list have all made breakthroughs. The recently rising 'Dharma Magic Sword' Su Weiyun is unparalleled and unrivaled. How can I be said to be so powerful?"
Shangguan Jinhong turned his head and looked to the side, saying, "Hero Su Weiyun is right here, why don't you come over and have a chat?"
Su Weiyun really came slowly from not far away. He had been standing there without covering himself, just to put pressure on Shangguan Jinhong.
Shangguan Jinhong said: "Old Man Tianji just said that you are unparalleled in the world."
Su Weiyun said: "You're too kind."
Shangguan Jinhong said, "The move that Elder Tianji used just now, 'Controlling Qi with Qi, Using Smoke as a Stick', has almost reached the point of turning the invisible into the visible. May I ask if Master Su can do it?"
What he meant was of course that he couldn't do it, so he came to ask Su Weiyun.
Su Weiyun really shook his head: "I can't do it either."
Shangguan Jinhong murmured, "It seems that Elder Tianji is indeed the best in the world."
"I can't do it because I don't know how to smoke a pipe."
Su Weiyun continued with a smile.
Shangguan Jinhong said coldly: "This joke is really great."
Su Weiyun said: "Although I am good, I am not as good as Gang Leader Shangguan who comes and goes, and then comes back again."
Shangguan Jinhong asked, "Are you sure I will come back?"
Su Weiyun said, "You wanted to kill Xiao Li Feidao first and then kill me, so you pretended to leave the city first and then came back to find Li Xunhuan. Unfortunately, you still couldn't hide it from Old Man Tianji."
Shangguan Jinhong did not show any emotion at all, and just said: "Old Man Tianji has calculated all the secrets of heaven, so naturally we cannot hide them from him."
Su Weiyun said: "Then please go."
Suddenly, a young girl's clear and pleasant voice came from afar.
"I'm afraid he can't leave even if he wants to!"
On the ancient road, the wind carries the sound.
Li Xunhuan and the girl with braids are walking towards the pavilion!
