Chapter 345: The Storm Has Fallen (6)
Based on the above reasons, Jiang Li failed to bring Wushuang back to the inn smoothly, but was forcibly kidnapped by Wushuang and returned to Jinguan City.
As for the bad old man who Wushuang hated so much, the third protector of the Lich Clan, Wu Ran, was not in Jinguan City at this time, let alone in the small cave under the Jinjiang River.
As early as yesterday, as soon as the battle ended, Wu Ran asked the surviving sorcerers to return to the clan to recover their lives, and threw down this pile of messes, this ancient witch old man who had lived for thousands of years, took the remaining four corpse leaders, and two Tianzi-level iron guards, and left Jinguan City.
Wu Ran walked in front unhurriedly, four corpses, two empty-handed, and two carrying Wu Chen and Ji Xun, following behind the master step by step.
After walking quietly for a long distance, Wu Ran woke up from his semi-contemplation, looked up again, and found that he was already on a wide highway, and he didn't know how he got there.
On both sides of the highway is an endless wasteland, it is already night, the wilderness is particularly desolate, and there are few cars at night, this section of the road is dark, and there are so many people walking slowly and leisurely in the middle of the road, which makes the picture look more permeable.
Occasionally, a vehicle would catch up from near and far with its headlights on, whistling by with a strong gust of wind. The driver of every vehicle that passed by in this way had seen a few strange figures in the middle of the road for a short time after they had staggered. No one did not feel numb from this, and after surpassing those strange figures, they slammed on their feet again, eager to step on the accelerator through the chassis of the car, and the body suddenly raised its speed to a notch, and galloped out with a stronger wind.
Wu Ran's old eyes were half-open and half-closed, looking at the tails of the cars that had surpassed the past and quickly turned smaller, without any expression on his face. Untilβ
To say that your eyesight is too good is not necessarily a good thing.
A large trailer was driving normally on the highway, and the driver saw several figures looming in the middle of the road from a distance. His first reaction was that he had seen it wrong, and it instantly triggered his second reaction, and he quickly blinked, and when he looked again, the figures were still there, and they were closer.
At this point, it's too late to change lanes, and it's not the right choice to change lanes. But the car is full of goods, and it cannot be forcibly slowed down and braked. The driver had no choice but to honk his horn violently, honk his horn frantically, and rushed towards several figures in front of him with unabated momentum.
Wu Ran heard the sound of a whistle behind him, which was too noisy and displeased him. He frowned slightly, stood on his feet and looked back, the big trailer had come within ten meters.
According to the speed of the big trailer, the next second, it may not take a second to knock over a few of them like a bowling ball.
The driver's hand almost smashed the horn, and when he saw Wu Ran's wrinkled old face, his heart pounded, and he couldn't suppress the fear in his heart anymore, and screamed loudly.
Then, Wu Ran's sleeve suddenly moved with a small amplitude, and the amplitude was so small that it was almost regarded as the illusion of being blown by the wind. As the sleeves shook, a small, crisp sound of brass bells came from within it.
In an instant, one of the four corpses suddenly dispatched. Turn around and raise your fist, and slash down at the big trailer that is close at hand!
There was a loud bang, and the entire car of the trailer was shattered, and the shockwave like a strong wind spread out in all directions, disturbing Wu Ran's gray hair.
The car body also flew out, and the goods on it were scattered all over the ground.
The trailer was completely scrapped, and the driver's body was also destroyed into several sections by the strong impact force, and he died on the spot.
The corpse's body was as motionless as a bronze statue, and his feet stepped out of a half-foot-deep pit on the road, and his fists still maintained a punching posture.
Wu Ran snorted lightly, his brows furrowed, and his calm expression returned, as if nothing had happened just now.
He turned, the brass bell in his sleeve rang again, and then he continued to walk forward, and the corpse leader who had destroyed the trailer turned around and followed as usual.
As Wu Ran walked, he thought in his heart, where are you going next?
Originally, the plan he had formulated in his heart was to go out and find any city first, make a mess, attract the attention of the inn, and attract the inn to send people to deal with him, so as to reduce the pressure on the leader Wu Ji to lead people to storm the inn.
But now that I've attracted the attention of the inn, where are I going next?
It's easy to find a random city, just choose without a brain. You can toss and turn wherever you go, but where do you go?
Only then did Wu Ran realize that he hadn't been out and about for too long, and he was becoming more and more unfamiliar with the city of human society. Even if you choose a random city, you don't know where to choose.
The old man, who was a little confused, stopped and looked around, but there was no car passing by at this time, there was no light from the headlights, and the surrounding environment was much darker. Fortunately, the night sky was clear today, and the stars in the sky emitted a faint light.
By the starlight, he saw that not far ahead, above the road, there was a sign, and the words and patterns of the sign could be vaguely seen: two arrows, one of which was written next to Diqiu, and the other next to the arrow was written Chang'an.
The purpose is to lure out the iron guards of the emperor, so the emperor cannot go, then it is Chang'an.
"It's been a long time since I've been to Chang'an. Wu Ran still has some nostalgia for the past, when was the last time he went to Chang'an? It was probably the Tang Dynasty, at that time, Chang'an was still the capital of the empire, and it was very prosperous.
"Then let's go to Chang'an. Wu Ran shook the bell, took the corpse and the two Tianzi Iron Guards, and walked towards the highway leading to Chang'an.
"If you have the courage, you will choose the path to Diqiu. Wu Chen spoke, his hands were behind his back, and he was clutched by the corpse all the way, his blood was blocked, and he was unconscious.
"It's not the time to go to the imperial capital yet. Wu Ran didn't look back, and the steps under his feet were like a cold wind, not stopping for a minute.
"I think you're scared. Wu Chen looked at the back of the annoying old man in front of him in a mocking tone.
"What am I afraid of?" Wu Ran glanced sideways at Wu Chen: "Do you think that an ancient witch with thousands of years of cultivation is so easy to deal with? Even if it is to Diqiu, even if the two old guys Wu Cheng and Wu Wei attack at the same time, I can go as long as I want, and leave as soon as I want." β
"What if our big boss takes action himself?" Wu Chen asked
"Wu Xu personally took action?" Wu Ran's brows furrowed slightly: "As long as he doesn't fight with his life, I may not be able to get out." β
"Then if the three of us take action together, will you be dead? Wu Chen continued to ask.
"Hmph. Wu Ran snorted coldly.
"Ha, you're really cowardly. Wu Chen laughed.
Ji Xun didn't understand why Wu Chen was talking to Wu Ran like this at first, but when he knew that this old guy was already full of anger just by looking at Wu Ran's side face, he knew in his heart: Dare to love this Wu Chen is provoking him.
After Ji Xun realized this, he also cooperated: "Some people, the older they get, the more afraid they are of death. It's like this, and it's no wonder that people can't do it. β
That makes sense. Wu Chen received the support and cooperation of his companions, and he smiled.
"You two, don't provoke me again. Otherwise, turn you both into monsters now. Wu Ran snorted coldly, the copper bell in his sleeve seemed to ring again, and the two corpses leading Wu Chen and Ji Xun shot at the same time, and the knife slashed the back of the necks of the two, and they fainted directly.
Wu Ran's face was blue and white, and the anger in his heart had not subsided. After all, he was still too stubborn, thinking that with his own identity, he really couldn't pull his face to fight with these two juniors, so he could only be ridiculed and scolded, so he had to sulk in his stomach.
