Chapter 488: Each Wins Half a Move

Chapter 488: Each Wins Half a Move

The silk thread was disturbed out of thin air, but there was no warning anywhere else, as if this person suddenly appeared there.

"If you move, you will die."

The wind blew open the half-closed window, and Zhao Yushu was only separated from Miaoyinhai by a wall.

At this distance, even if all the guards next door were fully skilled in field skills, they would not be able to save her in time.

Zhao Yushu only needed to raise her hand and draw her sword. She would be betting on whether the treasure on her body could defend against the long sword that could even cut through green armor.

Several guards were startled when Zhao Yushu appeared, but they did not dare to move.

"what do you want?"

Miao Yinhai forced herself to calm her breathing. This man did not kill her immediately, which meant there was room for maneuver.

"I said, leave Jianmen Pass before Chengmen Pass."

"Everything has a price. Why don't you stop bothering me and name your price."

Miao Yinhai felt that he could still control the rhythm, so he ignored Zhao Yushu's words and directly expressed his own ideas.

Always take the initiative and make the enemy do what you want. This is what your master taught you.

Zhao Yushu smiled.

"it is good."

Miaoyinhai also laughed. As expected, there is no deal in this world that cannot be negotiated, only prices that cannot be negotiated.

"what would you like?"

"I want your life."

A cold light came over him, and before Miao Yinhai's brain could fully understand what these five simple words meant, his eyes were already filled with a sharp edge.

No one expected that the man in black would attack without warning. If you were going to attack, why didn't you do it earlier? You've been standing here chatting for half a day, why did you suddenly do this?

Everyone's heart seemed to be pulled and stopped for a moment.

Zhao Yushu suddenly put away his sword and retreated, and a piece of ice and frost exploded between Miaoyinhai and him.

"You lied to me!"

Miaoyinhai's voice was shrill, filled with hatred for being fooled.

If Zhao Yushu had not put away his sword just now, when the tip of the sword touched Miao Yinhai's body, he would have found that he had stabbed a piece of ice, and this piece of ice would explode into a large piece of extremely cold ice mist, directly freezing everything within a ten-foot range in front of him.

This is an earth-level life-saving treasure, and one of the trump cards given to her by Master Miaoyinhai.

The only drawback of this thing is that although Miaoyinhai will be protected by ice, if the weapon in the opponent's hand can pierce the ice, she will still die.

Miaoyinhai got scared at the last moment, and detonated the treasure at the last moment when the sword tip was about to touch his body.

However, Zhao Yushu was more cunning than her and had already started to draw his sword and retreat before she detonated.

In other words, even if she didn't have this treasure, Zhao Yushu still couldn't kill her.

Zhao Yushu laughed. He knew that Miaoyinhai must have a trump card, but he was not sure what it was, so he wanted to try.

But he would never risk his own life. Anyway, he had already figured out Miao Yinhai's martial arts. As long as her cards were exposed, there would be too many opportunities to kill her. So before the other party's cards were exposed, Zhao Yushu planned to scare her and leave.

I didn’t expect to get it right after trying it once. I must be lucky.

If she was just wearing a piece of armor, Zhao Yushu really wouldn't have any good solution. But looking at the situation before him, even if this thing wasn't a disposable consumable, it must at least be a rechargeable treasure like the Dragon Ball. In other words, this thing would be useless in the short term.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Zhao Yushu retreated, several guards rushed over. Zhao Yushu hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should use the Shadow Step to kill him now?

Then he saw a flash of expectation in Miaoyinhai's eyes.

She wanted me to come over.

Zhao Yushu instinctively thought that this woman had a backup plan.

It could also be a scam.

This is more likely. We are all smart people, and what smart people like to do most is bluffing.

At the moment of defeat, Miaoyinhai kicked the ball back to himself. Although he seemed passive, he firmly grasped the initiative in the psychological warfare.

Zhao Yushu sighed, leaped forward and disappeared into the darkness.

Miaoyinhai won, he really didn't dare to bet.

If he was a pure assassin and his purpose of coming to Jiannan Road was to assassinate Miaoyinhai, then he would rush forward without hesitation and let this cunning woman see what it feels like to have a bunch of magical weapons falling on her.

But Miaoyinhai is only one of the forces of Jiannandao, and even just a vanguard, not even a main general.

If it weren't for Fu Yun, this burden, he wouldn't have had any contact with this woman before he even arrived in Yizhou. It was certainly not worth risking his life.

Miaoyinhai looked at the bottomless darkness outside the window, as if a pair of eyes were always staring at him.

"Master, we..."

"You guys go back."

Several guards were stunned and knelt down hurriedly: "Master, please let us guard by your side if the assassin comes again."

"Come if you want."

Zhao Yushu looked at the room in the inn from afar and saw that the light had gone out and the person inside seemed to be asleep.

If Miao Yinhai left the inn overnight and wanted to leave Jianmen Pass, it would prove that she had no trump card and Zhao Yushu would kill her without hesitation.

And now, he still couldn't be sure whether it was a trap. In this confrontation, he and Miaoyinhai each won one round.

This kind of person is very reliable as a teammate, but very scary as an opponent. Zhao Yushu has never thought of influencing her to make her behave and marry into Shushan to be a good wife to Fu Yun. This kind of story where the protagonist is so powerful that others bow down to him can only appear in Long Aotian's novels in his previous life, and will not appear in the real world.

We are all human beings, not NPCs. Who the hell are you?

Inside Yizhou City, Wu Ziteng was holding a short letter and was rarely in a state of hesitation.

Fu Yun sent a letter, which is good, proving that he has not been killed yet.

The letter mentioned that an old friend from Jiangning saved him. In order to prevent the letter from being intercepted, Zhao Yushu's name was not mentioned, but Wu Ziteng immediately thought of this Mr. Liu.

It was even better to have Mr. Liu by his side, at least Fu Yun’s life was saved.

Then the letter said that they would stay in Jianmen Pass for a few days as some things had not been settled yet, and they would return to Yizhou together after they had settled the matter.

The letter was very ordinary, containing all good news, but Wu Ziteng couldn't be happy.

The local forces in Jiannan Road had arrived early, and those from all over the country who wanted to join in had basically gathered as well, but a few of the most important ones had not yet arrived.

The monks from Dabei Temple were delayed by Mr. San, and it will take at least half a month to arrive, so this route is fine.

The Sixth Master of the academy is now at Jianmen Pass, and according to information outside, the Sixth Master is still in Dongdu. The academy's plan to conceal the truth was very successful.

The Tibetan masters have already arrived outside the city of Yizhou, so they should all be present.

But it shouldn’t be just the guru who comes from Tubo.

Where are the Bon people?

"Uncle Master, I want to go to Jianmen Pass."

“No need to go.”

"But Junior Brother Fu Yun and Mr. Liu are both there. If what I guessed is correct, the people from the Bon Sect are entangled with them."

"We were only invited to guard Yizhou."

Sword Saint Dugu spoke slowly: "Whether it's Fu Yun, Mr. Liu, or the Bon Sect, they all have their own paths to take. Zi Teng, you have to let go."
