Volume 1 The Butterfly That Can't Fly Over the Sea Chapter 29 The Boy's Walk
Night.
The path outside Wupan City was dark and black, and a figure dressed in black was running wildly in the mud with a corpse on his shoulder.
He gasped for air, his steps becoming a little unsteady, his clothes on his back were soaked, blood dripping down his back, and the pain in that place became more and more intense as time passed.
But he didn't dare to stay, let alone look back. He could clearly hear the footsteps getting closer and closer in the woods behind him, and he knew what it would be like if he was caught up by those guys.
But the wound on his back was not treated in time, but was torn apart as he ran, and his steps became heavier and heavier, and he had to bear considerable pain with each step. He couldn't run like this anymore, or sooner or later he would be caught by the group behind him. With this thought, a determination flashed in the eyes of the masked man in black, he caught a glimpse of the dense bushes in front of him, gritted his teeth, and immediately carried the corpse and hid behind the big tree.
......
Xiang Huo took the two armor soldiers and quickly chased them to the mouth of the dense forest.
"What about people?"
"I saw it here just now! Why is it gone in a blink of an eye?"
"Shut up!" Xiang Huo burst into applause, and the two of them were suddenly silent. In his heart, Xiang Huo doesn't like these two guys, but with a nap, these two people can lose the corpse, and if Luo Xiangwu blames him, he will be the first to use these two fools to block the knife.
However, that was also a last resort, and before that, he still had to find a way to recover Lu Guanshan's body.
He looked around with a grimbrow, his gaze rolling. Over the years, with Luo Xiangwu running everywhere, Xiang Hui has seen a lot of strange things in this world. Whether it is a ghost or a demon or a monster, in the final analysis, how much difference can there be from a human being? It is nothing more than a little more magical power, and there may be a few changes.
It is naturally impossible for a living person to disappear for no reason, even those big people who have cultivated to the sky and the earth can also capture the qi through secret methods. Although Xiang Huo didn't have such skills, he also knew that the person who stole the corpse didn't have the ability to fly away.
He was wounded, and he carried the corpse on his shoulder, and ran for miles, thinking that he had exhausted his strength, and he disappeared at this moment, not far away, but ...... Hide around.
Xiang Hui quickly sorted out the inside, his eyebrows sank, and his eyes suddenly froze, staring at a bush not far away - the grass and trees around the bush were hanging low, obviously trampled on just now, and one of the old trees, with a thick trunk, was more than enough for one person.
Xiang Huo narrowed his eyes and glanced at the two armor soldiers beside him, and the two of them also realized that they looked at that place with heavy eyes.
The crossbow was drawn, the feather arrow was wound, and the two of them bowed down like jackals peeking at their prey.
Xiang Huohu raised his knife slightly, took small steps, and leaned towards it gently, he tried not to make any sound as much as possible, and even his breathing was adjusted to the slightest point.
So he walked up to the tree, he took a deep breath, and then stepped forward sharply, and with a knife he picked open the dense vegetation behind the tree, and a figure appeared.
"Shoot the arrows. He let out a loud shout, leaning down, and two sharp arrows with red tails burst through the air and slammed forward.
Bang!
The muffled explosion exploded, the dirt and decaying vegetation were raised, Xiang Huo didn't have the heart to pay attention to his silver armor that was already full of dirt, he scattered the dust in front of him, and looked closely, but saw that there was indeed a corpse in the upturned soil, but it was...... Lu Guanshan's corpse.
Not good!
The thought arose, and he hurriedly turned his head to look. But behind the two armorers who were pulling out the second feather arrow, a black figure jumped up like a ghost and pounced on the two.
"Be careful!" he shouted, and before he had time to think about it, the tiger knife in his hand was subconsciously thrown out by him, cutting a cold light in the air and heading straight for the black shadow.
Hearing this, the two armor soldiers turned their heads one after another, and the sight shocked the two of them, and the fierce light in the eyes of the black-clothed man was magnificent, like a tiger and a wolf, like Shura. The feather arrow didn't have time to wind, and the tiger knife didn't have time to get out of the sheath, and the black-clothed man's hands went straight to the necks of the two, and the two of them turned pale and looked like they were about to be hit by the black-clothed man.
Burst!
The snow-white knife galloped forward, cutting the shoulder blade of the man in black accurately and ruthlessly, a bloody light lit up, and the figure of the man in black pounced, he roared unwillingly: "Your uncle!" The body fell straight on his back, and the tiger knife continued to gallop with residual power, until it was inserted into the trunk of a tree several feet behind, and then it trembled and stopped.
The dust settled.
The two armorers were still in a state of distraction for the rest of their lives, but Xiang Hui had already come to the two of them with a calm brow.
This ending was somewhat unexpected by Xiang Hui, he thought that since this person dared to steal the corpse, he should naturally have some skills, but he didn't want to come up with this trick to attack the west, so there was nothing else outstanding, just such a hasty knife to subdue the other party.
He looked at the man in black who was lying in front of him and was still struggling to stand up, and after making sure that the other party's posture was by no means a feint, the little hesitation in his heart dissipated. He kicked the armorer next to him fiercely, and angrily scolded, "What are you doing in a daze! ”
Only then did the two of them come back to their senses, hurriedly put away their bows and crossbows, and stepped forward, scolding and scolding in their mouths: "Phew, you little bastard came to provoke you Cang Yuwei!"
The previous cowardice and horror were left behind by the two at this time, and several of them violently set up the man in black who fell to the ground, although the other party intended to resist, but after a burst of punches and kicks from the two, they finally lost their strength, and let the two drag them to Xiang Hui.
The black-clothed man was pale and covered in mud and unspeakable embarrassment, but his eyes were blazing, staring at Xiang Huo deadly.
Xiang Hui has seen a lot of such characters, and they Cang Yuwei have a way to torture these guys who are not afraid of death.
He squinted his eyes and stretched out his hand, and said in his mouth: "Attacking the imperial court officials, stealing the corpse of a thief, the crime is the same as the head of the thief, do you know what crime Lu Guanshan committed?"
"Insulting the righteous god canonized by the imperial court, the crime is the same as treason, to put it bluntly, it is the nine clans of Zhulian. I want to see, you are not afraid of death, your parents, wife, children, relatives and friends are afraid of death?"
As he spoke, he was about to reach out and tear off the black cloth on the face of the man in black, and as he expected, a trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the man in black after hearing this, and the man in black, who had clearly been captured with all his strength, had some strength out of nowhere, trying to break free from the shackles of the two armorers beside him and keep the black cloth that could hide his identity.
"Scared?" Xiang Huo said jokingly. "It's a pity..."
"It's late!"
As soon as these words fell, his outstretched hand pulled violently, and he tore off the black cloth covering the man's face, and through the starlight projected through the cracks in the dense forest, Xiang Huo immediately saw the person's face clearly.
He was slightly stunned, his expression was a little surprised, and he muttered, "It's you......"
"I'm doing things by myself, and I have nothing to do with anyone else!" the man in black apparently understood that there was no room for recovery at this point, and he shouted loudly, not wanting to involve anyone else.
Xiang Huo sneered and said: "How can a young man who has not dried up such a big rebellious thing, I think there must be another mastermind behind it, don't you know the merits of the first trial?"
The meaning of the words was obviously to involve more people, which undoubtedly hit the sore spot of the man in black, and he shouted louder and louder: "I said it! This has nothing to do with anyone!"
It's just that this restrained shout obviously can't change the mind of the person in front of him, and the cold color between Xiang Hui's eyebrows is even worse, and he said gloomily: "Then it depends on whether you can resist my Cang Yuwei's means......"
After saying this, Xiang Huo looked at the resentment and helplessness on the young face of the man in black with satisfaction, he stood up straight and said, "Okay, you take him in custody, you go there and bring Lu Guanshan's corpse, go back and gather the people of Wupan City to take a look, and make an example of one by one." ”
As he spoke, Xiang Huo walked past the two of them to the big tree behind them, took out the tiger knife inserted into it, and put it back into its sheath. But when he looked up at the two armorers, his brows furrowed, and the two men still stood motionless in place with the men in black on their backs.
"What's going on?" Xiang Hui was a little dissatisfied, today's events were all caused by the negligence of these two people, if he hadn't made a timely move before, the two of them would not have died, and they would have to take off a layer of skin, why did these two guys not learn their lesson at this time, and still wanted to steal and play tricks?
He walked quickly behind them, slapped one hand on the shoulder of one of them, and said, "You are going to ......."
He said unpleasantly, but before he finished speaking, the body of the armorer who was slapped by his hand suddenly tilted, and he fell to the ground like this. As he fell, the balance between the man in black and the two armorers was broken, and the remaining two fell to the ground immediately, and the men in black let out a cry of pain, while the other armor fell silently like the former.
Xiang Hui was shocked by such a change, he looked down at the soldier who fell at his feet, but saw that the soldier's eyes were blank and empty, as if he had lost his life. On his neck, there was a faint trace of blood that ran through the entire neck, which was a wound that could only be left after some kind of sharp weapon had been cut at a very fast speed.
Xiang Huo looked at the other soldier who fell to the ground, and the situation was the same.
He instinctively thought that all this was done by the man in black, so he pressed the man in black to the ground, put the long knife in his hand on the opponent's neck, and said sharply: "Sun Daren, you dare to kill my Cang Yuwei's people!!
The black-clothed man, or Sun Daren's face changed, and the chill from the blade on his neck made him shiver, and he was about to defend something, but before the words could be spoken, he suddenly stopped abruptly.
His pupils dilated suddenly, and Mu Leng looked behind Xiang Hui in horror......
He saw a figure dressed in black like him leap out of the shadows.
His figure was ghostly, his eyes glinting, and he held an eerie dagger in his hand that was deeper than the night. And at his feet......
But he was wearing a pair of straw sandals.
