335 Viper of the Night
Half an hour later, Shen Muzhi and Xu Yi set off one after another.
For safety reasons, it was also annoying that Xu Yi was too annoying, Shen Muzhi didn't let Xu Yi follow too closely, and it was still the same as before, and the distance between the two was about twenty zhang.
The two of them followed the official road and rushed all the way to the direction of Wushan City.
Two hours later, the hour was near. In the night sky overhead, a large dark cloud drifted at some point, covering most of the moon.
Without the embellishment of the moonlight, this piece of heaven and earth suddenly seemed much colder.
On both sides, mountains rise one after another. In the darkness, like a giant beast lurking. All kinds of strange cries continue to come out of the mountains, disturbing people's heartstrings.
Xu Yi, who was following behind, probably worried that Shen Muzhi would get rid of him, had been strictly maintaining a distance of twenty zhang, not daring to approach, but he didn't want to pull away at all.
At this time, it was not very far from Osan City. In another hour at most, you should be able to see Osan Castle.
If everything goes well, then the two of them should be able to leave Daming before dawn.
In fact, after coming all the way just now, Shen Mu already regretted it a little. He shouldn't have been soft-hearted.
However, the words had already come out, and he could only grit his teeth and admit it. Backtracking is not his style. As for what will happen next with such a big trouble by your side, you can only take one step at a time to see what will happen. If everything is going well, then after he has been to Lancheng, he may be able to send them to Worm Mountain.
With such an identity as a willow kite, it may only be safe in Worm Mountain.
Thinking of Worm Mountain, Shen Muzhi was a little distracted.
Ten years ago, when Xuan Cheng took him to Worm Mountain, he was in a coma, and he didn't wake up until he left, so he didn't have the opportunity to personally verify whether Qingguo was still alive. Although he asked Xuan Cheng later, Xuan Cheng's answer was not what he wanted to hear.
There are some things that you don't hear or see with your own ears, and you always want to be lucky.
Perhaps, it's time for him to find an answer for himself!
Just as he was thinking about it, in the night sky ahead, two sword lights suddenly swept by. Shen Muzhi was alarmed, looked up, but sensed a familiar aura above one of the sword lights.
Thinking of Yu Xin and his party who he saw in Wushan City during the day, the sword light in the air that made him feel familiar should be Yu Xin.
I just don't know what happened to this hurried trip in the middle of the night!
After this thought passed through Shen Muzhi's mind, it was immediately thrown away. He looked back at Xu Yi behind him, he also noticed the two sword lights in the air, but he didn't know what he thought, so he stopped and began to be in a daze.
Seeing this, Shen Muzhi frowned and reminded him loudly.
Xu Yi came back to his senses, and after smiling at Shen Muzhi from a distance, the two continued to walk forward.
Half an hour later, Shen Muzhi stood on the top of a hillside, and from a distance, he could already see the Wushan City spreading by the Heishui River in the darkness.
The continuous Wushan lies behind the city, like a sleeping beast, black and oppressive.
Xu Yi was behind, tentatively approaching, and asked, "Do you want to enter the city?"
Shen Muzhi shook his head: "Go directly to the border pass." ”
Xu Yi was relieved when he heard this, and was just about to speak, when in the distance in Wushan City, suddenly two figures flew out one after another, and then swept into the mountains and forests not far away, and then, in just a few breaths, there was a sword light in the mountains and forests, and it seemed that there was a fight.
Shen Muzhi took a closer look, and his brows suddenly furrowed slightly. When the two figures swept out of the city before, he vaguely felt that the figure running in front of him was a little familiar, and at this time, looking at the occasional sword light in the mountain forest, the fiery red light was even more familiar.
It's Lin Changying.
Looking at the situation of the two sword lights fighting in the mountains and forests, Lin Changying's strength and that of his opponent seem to be comparable, and in a short period of time, it should be impossible to tell the winner from the loser.
It's just that who is fighting with her?
After thinking for a while, Shen Muzhi turned his head to look at Xu Yi, but saw that he was also staring at the two sword lights in the mountains and forests in the distance, with a slight lock on his brows, as if he knew who those two or one of them was!
Seeing this, Shen Muzhi immediately asked, "Do you recognize those two?"
Xu Yi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "I recognize one of them, if I'm not mistaken, it should be a senior brother in my sect." ”
"People from the Great Ming Sword Sect?" Shen Muzhi was stunned for a moment, and his brows immediately furrowed.
The strength of this Great Ming Sword Sect is no less than that of the Great Sword Sect, how could Lin Changying fight with the people of the Great Ming Sword Sect?
Yu Xin is not here at this time, even if the people of the Zhengyang faction are also in the city at this time, but the other party is a person from the Daming Sword Sect, and the people of the Zhengyang faction may not be willing to offend the people of the Daming Sword Sect for Lin Changying, after all, this is someone's territory. Therefore, whether Lin Changying loses or wins, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.
Thinking about it, Shen Mu's heart couldn't help but feel some worries. However, after thinking about it again, thinking about his current relationship with the Great Sword Sect, especially thinking of the bottle of things that Lin Changying once gave him as a thank you gift, the little worries in his heart were instantly suppressed by him.
Between them, it is no longer the kind of relationship that can care about each other. From then on, it is best to be a stranger. In this way, when the sword meets in the future, no one will have to be embarrassed.
Xu Yi on the side saw that his expression was not quite right, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"
Shen Muzhi came back to his senses and replied lightly: "It's okay, let's go." ”
"Good. Xu Yi immediately responded.
As the two spoke, they went down the hill and walked in the direction of the border pass. As a result, the two didn't go far, and another figure swept out of Wushan City, heading straight to the mountain forest not far away, obviously going towards Lin Changying and the two who were fighting.
Although Shen Muzhi had decided not to care about Lin Changying's matter, he couldn't help but stop at this moment.
From a distance, that figure didn't look like a person from Zhengyangmen.
Sure enough, as soon as that person entered the forest, he immediately joined the battle group, and together with the people of the Great Ming Sword Sect, he began to attack the fiery red sword light.
Lin Changying soon fell into a disadvantage, and if this trend continues, she will not be able to hold up a cup of tea time, and she will inevitably lose.
Shen Muzhi looked at it, and the hand covered by his sleeve suddenly clenched into a fist.
"The one who just came out is a person from Sanhemen. Xu Yi suddenly reminded in a low voice beside him.
When Shen Muzhi heard this, after a little silence, he turned back to Xu Yi and said, "You wait for me here, I'll go over and take a look!"
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly objected: "No, you go over now, what if you are discovered? Besides, what does this matter have to do with us?" As soon as the words came out, Xu Yi suddenly looked at Shen Muzhi and was shocked.
"Do you know?" he asked tentatively after a few breaths.
Shen Muzhi didn't nod, just reached out and took out a talisman with a hidden aura, handed it to him, and said, "You find a place to hide first, and I will come back to you!"
Xu Yi was a little reluctant, he was worried that Shen Muzhi would take the opportunity to get rid of him, but he didn't dare to follow Shen Muzhi over, even if he was wearing the mask given by Shen Muzhi now, he didn't dare to take risks.
But he didn't dare to say anything more at this time, otherwise what if he angered Shen Muzhi, he really left him alone?
He could only nod in agreement.
Shen Muzhi shoved the talisman into his hand, and immediately turned around and flew away towards the mountains and forests in the distance.
Xu Yi watched his figure disappear into the darkness, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly gritted his teeth and chased after him.
Shen Muzhi didn't expect Xu Yi to dare to follow, plus he was very worried about Lin Changying, so he spent all his energy on the road, so that he didn't notice that there was a person behind him.
Soon, Shen Muzhi arrived in the middle of the mountain forest.
The once dense woods in the forest have now been destroyed.
Three sword lights chased after it, and countless pieces of wood flew in all directions in the murderous aura in the sky.
Lin Changying was already injured, and was sandwiched by the two of them one after the other, still without much resistance, and when he saw that he was about to be unable to support it, a blood-red sword light suddenly burst out from the surrounding darkness, like a poisonous snake, and bit on one of the sword lights.
With a bang, the sword light shattered instantly, and the flying sword rolled upside down, powerlessly falling into the darkness next to it. The disciple of the Great Ming Sword Sect shook violently, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his face turned red and white, and he lost his fighting strength in an instant.
Before the three of them could react, the blood-red sword light turned his head and was a vicious sword.
This time, the disciple of this Sanhe Sect had a little time to react, and he promptly mobilized all the spiritual power in his body to resist hard. With a crisp sound, the wind spread around, and among the flying sawdust, the disciple of the Sanhe Sect shook his body, and the same mouthful of blood spurted out, but the flying sword still stood up in the end.
However, for that blood-red sword light, to put him down is just a matter of one more sword.
The disciples of the Sanhe Gate knew this, and did not hesitate to turn around and run. Another disciple of the Great Ming Sword Sect, whose injuries were much more serious than him, couldn't run at all for a while, looking at the blood-red sword light suspended in mid-air, his body fell to the ground weakly, and his face was gray.
It's just that to his surprise, the blood-red sword light did not drive out the intention of killing, and after defeating the two of them, the sword body turned around, and then disappeared into the darkness in a flash, disappearing without a trace.
Not far away, Lin Changying, dressed in black, stood under the tree, as if he was one with the night. Looking at the direction where the sword light disappeared, the bloodstained face had a complicated and inexplicable expression.
Shen Muzhi solved Lin Changying's crisis and didn't plan to show up, so after collecting the sword, he prepared to go back to the hillside to join Xu Yi.
But he didn't go far before he saw Xu Yi standing not far in front.
There was another person in front of him.
After Shen Muzhi saw it, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and then the foot that was about to step out of the mountain forest immediately stopped.
The one who was bumped into by Xu Yi was the disciple of the Sanhe Sect who had escaped from under Shen Muzhi's sword just now.
Xu Yi had a mask on his face, and this disciple of the Sanhe Sect didn't recognize it for a while, but he thought it was the owner of the blood-red sword light just now, and as soon as he was nervous, he suddenly took out a ring arrow and shot it into the air.
The flames rose into the sky, and the screeching sound broke through the night.
