Chapter 25: The Hunt
Although Dongfang Jin still didn't quite believe what Huang Lao said, and he still had many doubts in his heart, but now he had to go with Huang Lao, because Huang Lao knew his secret, and he had to follow Huang Lao to determine whether he was with those people.
"Hey, then you really plan to leave now, and your shop is still here?" Yi Fan said.
"Boy, I advise you to go at once, because those people may already think that you are in league with us, and if you are caught by them, you will have no choice but to die, and now go out of the city with us, and then go wherever you want outside the city, as long as you don't follow us. ”
Huang Lao said to Yi Fan, Yi Fan originally wanted to say something, but Huang Lao didn't give him a chance, and walked out directly, Dongfang Jin followed him, Yi Fan had no choice but to follow the two of them.
The three of them had just walked out of the bookstore not far away, and Huang Lao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
"Something is wrong. Huang Lao stopped and said.
"What's wrong?" Dongfang Jin asked.
"It was so quiet. ”
"Hahaha, it looks like it's just the three of you here. ”
At this time, two people suddenly appeared on the street, Dongfang Jin recognized one of them, it was the person in the examination room, and the other person had never seen it, it was an old man.
Looking at the two people who suddenly appeared, Huang Lao and Dongfang Jin both quickly took precautions, and Huang Lao said to the two people at this time, "It seems that you have been waiting for us to come out." ”
The middle-aged man who had appeared in the examination room before smiled, "Yes, I originally wanted to fish more people out, but I didn't expect that there were only three of you." ”
"How do you know I'm here, and I have my portrait. ”
At this time, Dongfang Jin asked the question he wanted to know, he couldn't figure out how these people could have their own portraits, those people only saw themselves when they were very young, now that so many years have passed, their appearance has changed, and they have not appeared in their sight, how can those people have their own portraits.
The middle-aged man glanced at Dongfang Jin contemptuously, but still replied, "This is thanks to the National Teacher, who calculated that you would come here with his extraordinary divination technique, and at the same time, through the pre-illusion technique, he transformed your current appearance." ”
When the middle-aged man talked about the national teacher, he looked in awe.
"Divination, pre-illusion, are you talking about Mingli?" asked Huang Lao.
"The name of the National Teacher is also what you can call?"
The middle-aged man's face was slightly angry.
"No wonder, apart from him, there are really few people in this Eastern Spirit Kingdom who have this ability. ”
"You must have been the one who lured me out of the imperial examination room before, and then you went back to look at the paper. The middle-aged man said.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense, except for the kid who survives and kills the other two. The old man, who had not spoken, spoke.
The middle-aged man stopped talking, pulled out the big knife he was carrying, and rushed towards Yi Fan and the others.
When Huang Lao saw the man coming, he put the burden in his hand on his back, blocked in front of Yi Fan and the two and said, "You two find an opportunity to run out of the city by yourself, and I will drag these two people." ”
At this time, the middle-aged man had almost rushed in front of Huang Lao, and at this moment, the man jumped violently, raised the big knife above his head, and slashed at Huang Lao diagonally.
Huang Lao's body moved a step to the side, the big knife just slashed past him, the man saw Huang Lao dodge his big knife, and quickly reacted, the knife that had just been slashed down was waved horizontally, Huang Lao took a step back, and dodged a knife again.
This time, without waiting for the man to come out of the knife, Huang Lao directly kicked the man with a whip leg, and the middle-aged man rolled back on the spot to avoid this leg.
Yi Fan and Dongfang Jin knew that they could only drag Huang Lao down if they stayed, so the two of them were not hypocritical, and they had already run in the other direction when Huang Lao and the middle-aged man were fighting.
The old man who hadn't made a move saw that Yi Fan and Dongfang Jin began to run away, but the middle-aged man was restrained by Huang Lao, and he also started to act at this time.
"You go after those two, and I'll deal with them. ”
The old man walked towards Huang Lao without hurrying, the middle-aged man didn't say anything after listening to the old man's words, and went directly to chase Yi Fan and the two, Huang Lao was just about to stop it, the old man's hand waved towards Huang Lao, and Huang Lao's body immediately stopped.
At this time, in front of Huang Lao's feet, the ground cracked an arm-thick gap, if Huang Lao's body hadn't stopped before, maybe it would have cracked like this ground.
"Who are you?"
Huang Lao looked at the old man and asked.
"Those who are dying need not know who I am. ”
The old man said lightly, and at the same time raised his hand, facing Huang Lao, and then clenched his fist hard. Although his hand was held in the air, an illusory handprint appeared out of thin air around Huang Lao's body, making the same movements as the old man, as if he wanted to crush Huang Lao.
It was too late, and when the illusory handprint was about to hold Huang Lao's whole person, Huang Lao's hands quickly made a few movements, as if they were sealing, and then a circular fireball suddenly appeared around Huang Lao's body, wrapping him inside, and the illusory handprint was now holding the fireball.
"Well, it seems that you are not an ordinary person either, just right, just take you to try the spell I just practiced. ”
The old man said, his hands quickly sealed, and then stretched out a hand towards Huang Lao.
"Broken. ”
When the old man said the broken words, the fireball outside Huang Lao's body disappeared directly.
The old man looked at Huang Lao not far in front of him and said, "Is it really disappointing to have such a little ability." ”
"Really?"
While Huang Lao spoke, he saw his hand wave towards the old man, and many fist-sized fireballs suddenly appeared in the air and flew towards the old man, and the old man also reacted quickly, his handprint changed, and a transparent light mask appeared outside his body, and all those fireballs hit it.
Huang Lao saw that his fireball was blocked, and when he thought of Dongfang Jin and the two of them, who were still being chased by middle-aged men, he was a little anxious, and then he made a seal in his hand and shouted in his mouth, "Explode." ”
Hearing a bang, all the fireballs blocked by the old man's light shield exploded, and Huang Lao took advantage of this to run towards another street.
After the explosion, the old man's figure appeared, but he appeared unharmed.
"It seems that there are still two hits. ”
The old man said to the empty street.
On the other side, the middle-aged man was chasing Yi Fan and the two, Yi Fan was already running a little hard at this time, if it wasn't for Dongfang Jin catching him and running with him, he might have been chased and killed by the middle-aged man behind.
"I, I can't run anymore, you can run yourself. Yi Fan gasped and said to Dongfang Jin.
"Don't talk, keep your strength, watch your breathing, we can run away. ”
So the two continued to run forward, but fortunately, Yi Fan looked at the map of the county when he was fine in the bookstore, and probably knew the route out of the city.
After running for about half a pillar of incense, Yi Fan really couldn't run now, and the middle-aged man behind him was getting closer and closer to the two, Dongfang Jin saw that this was not a solution, so he stopped.
"Why, run, why don't you run, two little bunnies. ”
The middle-aged man saw that Yi Fan and the two stopped, so he opened his mouth and scolded.
Dongfang Jin didn't speak, and rushed directly towards the middle-aged man.
Yi Fan was startled when he saw Dongfang Jin rushing towards the middle-aged man, and it was too late to stop him.
When Dongfang Jin rushed in front of the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man had already pulled out the knife, and as soon as Dongfang Jin arrived in front of him, the middle-aged man took the knife and slashed horizontally.
Dongfang Jin jumped hard, his body was in the air, and he flew over the middle-aged man's head, dodging the knife, he jumped behind the middle-aged man with this jump, and then kicked with his foot, directly kicking the middle-aged man who hadn't had time to turn around.
