Chapter 176: A Middle-Aged Man
Zhang Tao's figure gradually disappeared into the night.
There are only two graves left here and a mess all over the ground, proving that something once happened here.
It's mid-autumn now, and the night breeze blows gently on the body, with a hint of coolness. Except for the perennial green trees, the rest of the trees have lost their leaves.
Thick yellow leaves were piled up on the ground, and a sense of gloom filled the heavens and the earth.
Zhang Tao flipped his hand, and a porcelain vase appeared in his hand.
Open the lid of the porcelain bottle and pour a pill from it.
Raising his hand and throwing the pill into his mouth, Zhang Tao chewed it, and suddenly a fragrance diffused in his mouth.
This is exactly the Huiyuan Dan that Zhang Tao refined in the border city some time ago.
The battle with the leader of the men in black depleted the earth-attribute internal force, metallic internal force, and wood-attribute internal force in his body.
Although the internal force consumed will be replenished over time, however, now he has no time to wait.
What's more, just a Hui Yuan Dan is as ordinary as eating beans for him.
Continue to move in the direction of the flood wilderness.
Zhang Tao's speed was very fast, as if there was something here that he didn't want to face, as if he was running away from something.
It was already some distance away from the place where he was fighting with the leader of the men in black, and feeling that his body had been filled with a lot of internal force, Zhang Tao suddenly stopped.
The sky has brightened, and the air has been washed away by last night's rain, and the air is very fresh, without any dust in it.
A red sun slowly rose in the east, bringing warmth to the land that had been washed by the rain overnight.
On the leaves of a few small grasses that have not yet completely withered, a few drops of dew roll, reflecting the light of the sun, flashing and flashing, looking a little dazzling.
Zhang Tao stopped, but his whole body tensed.
When facing the sneak attack of the leader of the men in black, the otaku didn't show such nervousness, what was it that made him so.
"Is Your Excellency going to follow like this, and not going to show up?" Zhang Tao didn't look back, but his voice was very loud, and it spread far away in this empty land.
There are still people stalking!
It was not only the black-clothed people of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion who were following Zhang Tao, but there were also people.
Zhang Tao's voice fell, and the silence around him was terrifying, and there was no response.
"Do you think that I really can't find you, that I'm messing with you? ”
"Don't think that your concealment methods are very clever, just because those men in black can't find you doesn't mean that I can't find you. ”
Zhang Tao's voice was calm, but his tense body showed that he was still very nervous.
It's still quiet, there's no movement.
"It seems that Your Excellency really doesn't want to come out, so please don't continue to follow you. Zhang Tao still didn't look back, "Otherwise, hum." ”
Zhang Tao didn't finish speaking, but anyone could hear the threat in his words.
Seeing that there was still no reaction around, Zhang Tao raised his feet and continued to walk forward, and at the same time said, "Last night's rain was not too light, I believe that the leaves on the trees are wet, I'm afraid it's uncomfortable to hide there." ”
Just as Zhang Tao finished saying this, the leaves on a tree not far behind him shook slightly.
The shaking was invisible, as if the leaves were shaken by the wind.
However, in the midst of the sparse leaves, there was a pair of eyes staring at Zhang Tao tightly.
There's a guy hiding here!
It's unbelievable.
It's mid-autumn, and it's supposed to be the time for the leaves to wither, and although the leaves of this tree haven't completely fallen off, there are not many left.
It was among the few leaves left that there was a man hidden.
With this person's concealment method, even if you stand under the tree and look up, you may not be able to see that there is a person hiding here.
How did Zhang Tao know?
Obviously, Sword Spirit.
"Did he really find out? The man hiding in the tree was shocked.
"No, it shouldn't be me, it's definitely not me, with my concealment methods, as long as it's not a swordsman-level martial artist, I will never find out. The man comforted himself, "It must be that person, it must be that person he found, not me." ”
Thinking in his heart, at the same time, the man's head twisted slightly, and the corner of his eye looked at a place not far from him.
There, as here, there are some big trees whose leaves have almost gone away.
Here, there is even a hidden person!
Depending on the situation, the two people in this hiding are not a group of people.
At the same time as Zhang Tao's words fell, the people on the tree moved.
"Hahaha. ”
With a burst of laughter, a man jumped down from the tree.
"Mr. Liu is really extraordinary, and he can even see through my disguise. ”
"Hmph, it's still called camouflage by you, it's not good for me to call camouflage, although my cultivation is higher than mine, but when it comes to concealment, it's still not as good as me, after all, it's been discovered, garbage. ”
The man who had been hiding in the tree cursed in his heart.
"Your Excellency is still willing to come out. ”
As the hidden man in the tree appeared, Zhang Tao also stopped.
Turning around, Zhang Tao looked at the person in front of him.
I saw that this man was about forty years old, wearing a sky-blue robe, and a sword hanging from his waist.
There were several water stains on his body, presumably wet from the dew on the leaves when he was hiding in the tree.
The man who was still hidden in the tree said secretly in his heart.
"Cultivation is really extraordinary. ”
It rained overnight last night, and the two of them have been following Zhang Tao for a while.
Now, the clothes on his body have long been wet with the rain, and now that the rain has stopped, the clothes have not dried, and it is very uncomfortable to stick to his body.
However, no matter how uncomfortable he was, he didn't move.
Because in concealment, even small movements may be noticed by the other party.
Looking at the middle-aged man who came down from the tree now, there were only a few traces of wet dew on the leaves, and apart from these water stains, his clothes were actually dry.
"Your Excellency has been following you since the beginning of the Sentry City, I really don't know what Your Excellency is for?"
Coming out of the sentry city, the middle-aged man was following Zhang Tao, Zhang Tao had the existence of a sword spirit, and he found them early in the morning, so Zhang Tao came out of the sentry city and went straight to the border city.
I stayed in the border city for a long time, on the one hand, I was practicing alchemy, and on the other hand, I was wary of the middle-aged man in front of me.
Because the cultivation of the middle-aged man has reached the realm of a sword master.
Of course, this is all due to the sword spirit.
But for so long in the border city, the middle-aged man has only been monitoring him, without any movement, with the existence of the sword spirit, Zhang Tao has no fear on the road.
However, when he came out of the border city, the sword spirit actually told him that there was one more person to watch.
This made Zhang Tao very strange.
Last night, Zhang Tao finally knew the answer. It turned out that the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion suspected himself.
Originally, Zhang Tao thought that these two waves of people were in the same group.
However, when the leader of the men in black killed his brother, the middle-aged man in front of him did not come out to stop it.
Zhang Tao judged from this that these two waves of people are not in the same group.
If the two waves of people were in a group, how could the middle-aged man in front of him stand by and watch.
Obviously, the two waves of people didn't know each other at all.
When fighting against the leader of the men in black, the reason why Zhang Tao did not show all his strength and hid the water attribute internal force and fire attribute internal force was that he was worried about the middle-aged man's sneak attack.
"It's nothing, it's just that Mr. Liu healed Fang Yuntian's injury, so I'm more curious. ”
Now it seems that Mr. Liu turned out to be a talent. ”
"A martial artist with a three-attribute physique of gold, wood, and earth, coupled with superb medical skills, I am afraid that Mr. Liu has a lot of secrets hidden in his body. The middle-aged man said slowly.
"With the special physique of Mr. Liu's three attributes, he has cultivated to the chivalrous level at such a young age, in addition to talent, I believe there are some other reasons. ”
"And it's these 'other reasons' that I'm interested in. ”
The middle-aged man does not speak quickly, but it gives people a sense of oppression.
Zhang Tao shook the sword that appeared in his hand at some point, and his heart suddenly became a lot more steady.
"I believe you also saw the battle just now, although your cultivation has reached the level of a sword master, you are so sure to deal with me. ”
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, "I didn't expect Mr. Liu's ability to sense breath to be so good, which makes me even more interested in you." ”
