To the east, about forty or fifty miles away, there is a hill called Wollongong. After this Wollongong, it is the boundary of Fuhe City.

After the sword man and the bearded man took Shen Muzhi to Wollongong, they saw that there was no one chasing them for the time being, so they stopped to rest in a ruined temple on the gang.

After the man who made the sword carried Shen Muzhi off his horse and threw it on a fairly flat ground next to the shrine, he sat down next to him, took off the kettle at his waist and prepared to drink water.

At this time, the bearded man suddenly leaned towards Shen Muzhi.

After catching a glimpse of the swordman's afterglow, he immediately became vigilant, frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?"

The bearded head didn't raise his head: "Let's see if he's dead!" With that, he reached out and probed Shen Muzhi's snort.

The man who made the sword kept his hand firmly on him, and after a while, when he saw him withdraw his hand, asked, "How is it?

The bearded man replied, "One more breath!" After speaking, his gaze looked at the rest of Shen Muzhi's body for a while, and then stopped on Shen Muzhi's right hand.

The right hand, which was half covered by the sleeves, could vaguely reveal that it was holding something in its hands.

When the bearded man saw it, he reached out to break Shen Muzhi's right hand, but no matter how hard he tried, Shen Muzhi's hand just didn't let go. The bearded man groaned, and suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist.

The man who made the sword kept staring at him, and when he saw him take out his dagger, he quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The bearded man glanced at him lightly and said, "Anyway, it's all going to die, one less hand, it's not a big deal!"

But the man who made the sword stretched out his hand again to stop him.

Now the beard is a little unhappy. Frowning, he looked at the sword-wielding man with displeasure and asked, "What do you mean?"

The man who made the sword glanced at Shen Muzhi and said, "He is not dead yet, it is not too late for you to wait for him to die!"

After hearing this, the bearded man looked at the temporary partner opposite, and there was a little more surprise and disdain in his eyes: "They all drink human blood, what kind of good people are pretending to be!"

The sword man's face was slightly embarrassed, but he still insisted: "In short, you can't touch him until he dies!"

The bearded man was even more displeased, but he didn't force it, and after snorting, he withdrew the dagger. Then he turned around, leaned against the shrine, closed his eyes and began to rest.

The man who made the sword glanced at Shen Muzhi, whose face was pale as paper, and his breathing was so weak that he could barely feel it, he also turned his head, closed his eyes and began to rest.

In the ruined temple, it was quiet all of a sudden.

The autumn wind crossed the broken courtyard wall, rolling a few withered yellow leaves, swaying, and drifting somewhere.

Time passes slowly.

Suddenly, there was a horse roar outside the temple, revealing panic.

The two people sitting next to Shen Muzhi immediately woke up.

The man who made the sword held the hilt of his sword and stood up and stared at the temple gate with a wary expression.

At this moment, the bearded man behind his back suddenly looked cold, and the gun in his hand was like a dragon, and a cold light swept by, piercing straight into the back of the heart of the person who made the sword.

The tip of the spear glowed with cold light, leaking from the chest in front of it, with bright red blood.

The man who made the sword pressed the hand of the long sword, tried to take the sword, and tried several times, but he could not succeed.

The bearded man was expressionless, and the hand holding the short gun pulled back, and then immediately picked up Shen Muzhi on the ground and rushed to the outside of the temple.

The man who made the sword looked at the back of the rapidly disappearing figure, the last bit of divine light in his eyes dissipated, and with a thud, he threw forward and threw himself to the ground, and the blood quickly oozed from under his body, staining countless fallen leaves red.

Outside the temple, the bearded man untied the reins of the two horses, and the short gun slapped the horse's buttocks, and the horses were in pain, neighed, and ran away.

The bearded man carried Shen Muzhi and got into the woods next to him.

Not long after he left, the wave of men in black came.

After seeing the corpse in the ruined temple, the men in black divided into two groups, one group of people continued to follow the road and chased in the direction of Fuhe City, and the other group of people entered the woods.

The bearded man carried Shen Muzhi, and after walking for a while, he vaguely felt that someone was already chasing after him. After a slight hesitation, the bearded man stopped, put down the Shen Muzhi he was carrying, and searched Shen Muzhi's body fluently, except for a few letters and a few pieces of paper, there was nothing. So, he fell his gaze on Shen Muzhi's right hand again.

Not far away, there was already movement, and the pursuers were about to arrive.

The bearded man's eyes were cold, he pulled out the dagger on his waist, and stabbed Shen Muzhi's right hand with his hand.

The dagger pierced the back of Shen Muzhi's hand without hindrance, and just as the bearded man was about to cut off his right hand with all his might, suddenly, a red light burst out.

A violent aura came out of Shen Muzhi's right hand and went straight to the beard.

Before the beard could react, there was already a bloody hole in his chest.

A short sword emitting a blood-red light circled behind him, and then suddenly returned, and Shen Muzhi, who was lying on the ground, didn't know when he had opened his eyes, but the pupils in his eyes were full of blood.

At this time, a man in black appeared not far away, and after seeing the situation here, he immediately rushed up.

Shen Muzhi raised his bloodied right hand, grabbed the short sword that happened to fly back, and then slapped his left hand on the ground, and the whole person suddenly floated up.

Ahead, the man in black is looking for the wind like the wind. On his left hand, the arm crossbow was ready, and the crossbow bolt coated with black poison had poked its head out.

Shen Muzhi's face was expressionless, and his blood-red eyes were full of bloodthirsty indifference.

"Go!"

The sunlight shines through the dense foliage, casting dappled light and shadow. A flash of red light swept by, shattering the dream-like world, and instantly arrived in front of the man in black.

The man in black didn't even see what the red light that suddenly rushed over was, and there was already a bloody hole in his chest.

The blood-stained short sword, the red light emitted from it, is like a flower blooming brightly, charming but deadly.

At this time, several other men in black also followed.

After seeing the red light suspended in the air, several people in black looked at each other for a while, some stepped forward and some retreated.

The red light was like a red thread in a woman's hand, shuttling quickly in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it was woven into a dense net, and all the black-clothed people who stepped forward were in it......

A few screams, blood splashed all over the fallen leaves, making this bleak autumn a little more beautiful.

The man in black who retreated was nowhere to be seen.

Shen Muyi beckoned, and the short sword suddenly returned, circling around him, buzzing in circles, as if to say, he hadn't killed enough.

After the expressionless Shen Muyi grabbed it, it suddenly fell silent. Shen Muzhi looked around, and after not finding that there were any fish that had slipped through the net, his feet moved, and his body suddenly became like a fallen leaf, and with the autumn wind blowing in the forest, he drifted into the depths of the forest, and the speed was extremely fast. 、

After about a stick of incense, Shen Muzhi, who had already walked far away, suddenly stopped at his feet.

On his expressionless face, a little struggle suddenly appeared. The blood-colored pupils in his eyes began to shrink. At this time, he suddenly raised his hand and punched hard in his chest, and a mouthful of black blood, with some wriggling worms, spurted out of his mouth. After falling to the ground, those dark red bugs squirmed desperately, probably from the madness before death, and after a few breaths, these bugs stiffened their bodies and never moved again.

And Shen Muzhi was also at this moment, suddenly fell backwards, smashed to the ground in a daze, the blood in his eyes quickly receded, and finally closed his eyes and was silent.

And in the mountains and forests before, there were many people in black. Seeing that those corpses lying on the ground were all pierced through the heart with a sword, and these people were killed with a single blow without even shooting a crossbow arrow, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind their backs.

At the head is an old man. After carefully inspecting the deaths of these people, he got up and stared into the depths of the forest for a while, then waved his hand and led the people out of here.

Outside the forest, at the gate of the ruined temple, Yang Tianbao, who had already changed his clothes, was staring at the fallen leaves under the ginkgo tree in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

After the old man came back with someone, Yang Tianbao heard the movement, retracted his gaze, turned his head to look over, and after not seeing the person he wanted to see, he asked, "Why is it so fast?"

The old man hesitated for a moment before he replied, "The brothers before are all dead. I just took a closer look, and each one was killed with a single sword. The most important thing is that these people have not missing a single crossbow arrow in their upper crossbows. It stands to reason that even if that kid didn't eat the Heart Devouring Pill, he couldn't have such strength. Then there is only one possibility left, and that is that someone is helping him! Moreover, this person is extremely high-handed, and it is very likely that he is not an ordinary person!"

Yang Tianbao listened, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't answer.

The old man looked at his expression, pondered for a moment, and then continued: "In the past two days, many brothers have died. Or would this be the end of the matter?"

Yang Tianbao was still silent.

The old man waited for a while, but when he didn't make a sound, he turned around and left with the people.

Not long after the old man and the others left, in the ruined temple behind Yang Tianbao, a woman dressed in white suddenly came out, and it was the woman who looked exactly like the picturesque girl.

Yang Tianbao turned his head to look at her: "You should have heard it just now." My people have done their best!"

The woman frowned, stared at Yang Tianbao, and said coldly: "You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death." Yang Tianbao, aren't you scared?"

Yang Tianbao's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Our deal didn't include killing this Shen Muzhi at the beginning!"

The woman sneered: "Is it? This Shen Muzhi was the first to strike when he first entered Qishi Town, but you? At that time, someone asked you to do this?"

When Yang Tianbao heard this, he couldn't help but look a little ugly.

"This bureau, how can you enter if you want to, and retreat if you want to?" The woman looked at Yang Tianbao coldly, and said: "You Yang Tianbao yourself want to be greedy, no wonder others!"

Yang Tianbao's face became a little pale.

"Don't you want the exercises?" said the woman, suddenly reaching out and throwing out an object: "Take it!"

Yang Tianbao hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and before he could see what it was, he heard the woman say: "This exercise is divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower. All you have in your hand now is the upper part. When you bring Shen Muzhi back, I will give you the rest. In addition, I will personally help you sort out the meridians and help you open the mountain in one fell swoop and officially start your cultivation!"

Yang Tianbao pinched the roll of parchment in his hand, and his expression couldn't help but become excited.

However, the corresponding price is that he wants to find Shen Muzhi. The excitement in Yang Tianbao's heart was immediately suppressed. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his head and asked the woman, "What if this Shen Muzhi really has a master to rescue him?"

The woman glanced at him and said, "I have already investigated, and there is no trace of a monk nearby. So, you can rest assured. ”

Yang Tianbao listened to the woman's words, and then thought about what the old man said before, and he was suspicious in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong. After a little silence, he asked again: "Could it be that this Shen Muzhi has always pretended to be a pig and eaten a tiger, and he has hidden his strength?"

There was a little more sarcasm at the corner of the woman's mouth: "Even if this is the case, this Shen Muzhi has now eaten the Heart Devouring Pill, what big waves can he make?"

Yang Tianbao was still a little uneasy, thought about it, and said: "But this Shen Muzhi has a lot of weirdness, he was hit by the erysipelas that sealed his throat with blood before, and he still survived, this time ......."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the woman. The woman snorted coldly and said, "Your so-called erysipelas dare to be compared to my Heart Devouring Pill?"

Yang Tianbao hurriedly sneered and said, "This little erysipelas naturally can't be compared to the girl's Heart Devouring Pill. ”

"Take it!" the woman suddenly handed the bell over.

When Yang Tianbao saw it, he couldn't help but be slightly happy in his heart.

This bell is the thing that controls the Heart Devouring Pill, and with this thing in his hand, he will be a little more sure when he deals with Shen Muzhi, who has a lot of weirdness on his body.

Immediately, after thanking him, he said, "Then let's go down here to find Shen Muzhi!"

The woman nodded: "Go and go back quickly." ”
