Chapter 8: The Dilemma

Looking back, Ning Yue frowned, and raised his hand to draw his sword.

At the same moment, the four people who surrounded him drew their swords at the same time, and their movements were almost the same, and in an instant, the cold light flickered and stopped, and the winner was decided.

Back waist, side neck, lower abdomen, three sharp swords against Ning Yue's body, the cold slowly spread in his skin.

The last sword, which was also the sword of the leader of the man, was pointed on the wrist on which he drew the sword, and if he dared to move a little more, I was afraid that the entire palm of his hand would be cut off.

"It seems that you kid has caused a lot of trouble, and there are still a group of people chasing you. ”

While the leader of the bounty hunter smiled coldly, Ning Yue also let go of the hilt of the sword in his hand with interest, and it was just useless to resist again.

At this moment, Zhang Qi's group of people who were chasing from the rear finally arrived here, but they also noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere, and they all stopped at a distance of more than ten meters.

"Boss, what's the situation?" a subordinate glanced at Zhang Qi.

Shaking his head, Zhang Qi replied: "Don't act rashly yet, wait and see." ”

Seeing this, the leader of the bounty hunters arched his hand and shouted: "Friend over there, you are a step late, he is the prey we have been optimistic about for a long time, please don't interfere." ”

When the words fell, two of his three companions withdrew their swords and looked at the person with cold eyes, and their eyes were very unkind. The days of bounty hunters are all chasing and fighting, and they are not good at stubble.

After looking at it a few times, and with some understanding in his heart, Zhang Qi nodded and said, "Someone can give it to you, but he owes me money, so I can't just forget it." ”

"Huh?"

A hint of surprise appeared in the leader's eyes, and then he also faintly guessed something, and was about to speak, but Ning Yue took the lead.

"Hey, that one over there, it seems to be called Zhang Qi, right? Don't you just lose and want to get the money back? The money bag is full, a maximum of 1,000 silver coins, right? But do you know how much I'm worth?"

As he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and the hat rose and fell diagonally, revealing his true appearance, and at the same time glanced at the wanted warrant that had not yet been put away in the leader's hand.

"Why don't you let him lend you what is written on it?"

"Ning Yue, capture 10,000 alive and kill 7,000. ”

The leader did not hide it in the slightest, spread out the wanted warrant in his hand, and there was a touch of coldness in his eyes.

"I just said, he's our prey, don't meddle. As for all this money on him, you can take it all and act as if you didn't see anything here today, how about it?"

Suddenly, Zhang Qi swallowed his saliva, a little hesitant, his eyes wandered on the money bag and the wanted warrant, although he couldn't see the specific content of the wanted warrant from a distance, but judging from the current atmosphere, there would definitely be no fake.

At the same time, Ning Yue also sweated in his heart. He is gambling, Zhang Qi, who can't afford to lose, must be very greedy in his heart, it is impossible to be satisfied with just recovering the money that originally belonged to him, and it is impossible not to be tempted in the face of a bounty of 10,000 in front of him.

It's just that he dares to do it?

Obviously, Zhang Qi was also hesitating, for him, 10,000 silver coins was also not a small amount, but judging from the outfit and aura of the four people who surrounded Ning Yue, he could conclude that these people were full-time bounty hunters, all of whom had rich combat experience, and they were definitely not easy to deal with.

After hesitating for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Since we were bumped, I'm afraid it's not good to leave like this?

"The tone is really not small, I'm afraid that you have a life to take it, but you don't have a life to spend it. ”

A bounty hunter snorted coldly, and the tip of his sword was raised to point at the other party.

"Get out, or you'll bear the consequences!"

"What are you kidding, when we're really afraid of you?"

A person beside Zhang Qi stepped forward and shouted, his arms shook, and a dagger slipped out of his sleeve, holding it upside down in front of him and posing for it, ready to go.

It is true that bounty hunters have always lived in chases and bloody battles, but so are those of them who have been wandering the ruined city for many years, and if they want to gain a foothold in such a world, they must have the ability to lick blood from the edge of a knife.

"Stop. ”

The bounty hunter led by him turned his head and drank, stared at Zhang Qi, and snorted: "Sanqi Kai, it can't be more." Besides, I'm afraid this kid is the happiest person to fight like this, right?"

"Of course I know, what he probably hopes most now is for us to fight on both sides and then take advantage of the chaos to escape, right?"

Zhang Qi smiled slyly, stared at Ning Yue, and pressed the ten fingers of his hands together to make a popping sound.

"If I can't even see this little trick, I've been in vain for more than ten years in the abandoned city of Barren Mountain City. Boy, you're thinking too simply, aren't you?"

"Is it seen through?"

Ning Yue showed a wry smile, however, he also smiled secretly in his heart.

Still, it's still in his budget.

The leader of the bounty hunters also waved his hand here and ordered, shouting: "Shang Qing, unload his sword, the tie is strong, and you will not leave an inch." If he moves, there is no need to hesitate, just make a move, anyway, as long as he is alive, one less arm or thigh, it should be fine. ”

Then, he strode forward, came to Zhang Qi, and said coldly: "Give you two choices, either open three or seven, or fight with me and fight alone." Win, people you take away. Lose, you and your people disappear quickly. ”

Negotiation is not possible, but it can only be resolved by force.

"That's what you're waiting for. ”

Zhang Qi grinned, turned over and stepped on the eaves next to the trail, and raised his hand to point: "The position below is too small, how about coming up to compete?"

"Just what I wanted. ”

The other party also rose from the ground, and stood on the opposite roof lightly, the long sword at his waist was already out of the sheath, and at the same time he did not forget to instruct again: "Take care of people, otherwise, today's dinner will not be settled." ”

The next moment, the sword roar had already risen, and the cold light slashed in the buzzing sound of breaking through the air, and the offensive sword momentum was very fierce.

With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Zhang Qi stood in place with a lunge, his right hand clenched his fist and trembled, and the tumbling force exploded in the void, shaking out heavy ripples to meet the incoming sword momentum.

Both of them have a lot of actual combat experience, and as soon as they make a move, they know that the other party is also not simple, so they have to be treated seriously. For a moment, the fist wind and sword light were intertwined, and the two figures that shuttled and changed stepped on the roof, and every time they collided, the low old house seemed to be trampled down by the aftermath of cooperation.

"Boss, come on!"

"Brother Wu, you can't lose!"

While watching the battle, the people on both sides couldn't help but shout again and again, staring intently at the battle between the two figures above.

Ning Yue glanced at the person next to him who was called Shang Qing, but found that although he was also watching the battle, he glanced at himself from time to time, and the sword in his hand was never put down, and it was always on his throat. As for his hands, they were tied tightly with the rattan that carried the ancient sword before, and they were very strong.

He turned his body slightly, but it was this little action, Shang Qing suddenly drank: "What do you want to do?"

"Nothing, look at it this way. ”

With a casual smile, Ning Yue remained silent, but in his sleeve, a rusty iron nail had already slipped into his palm, and he had pulled it out on a broken wall in the abandoned city before.

On the roof, the sound of the wind was even more chilling, and after several more violent collisions, Zhang Qi and the bounty hunter scolded at the same time, and the strong wind that swept down was also a few points on the wall.

The decisive blow is finally coming.

A faint aura of oppression lingered on the path under the eaves, and even the few people watching the battle realized the key to the moment, holding their breath, staring intently at the movements of the people on their side, for fear of missing the most exciting part.

"Ling Feng Slash!"

"Tiger Roar!"

Boom!

Laugh at!

The tricks of the two sides to press the bottom of the box clashed, and at this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the collision where the winner was about to be separated after an instant, and even Shang Qing finally forgot his duty and temporarily shifted his attention.

It was in this moment that Ning Yue finally moved, and the iron nail in his hand was used for the last time, and then he pulled it with both palms, and forcibly tore off the bound rattan.

The only chance to break through is now, fleeting.

From the beginning, he didn't think he would be able to stir up a conflict between the two sides and make them fight each other, but since these two groups of people are here for money, conflicts of interest are inevitable when they meet.

Then, there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. Although there are still some deviations from the opportunity he expected, it is also under consideration. The previous capture was just deliberate.

At the same time, Shang Qing also heard a trace of something wrong, and the moment he glanced at it, Ning Yue had already made a move.

Laugh at!

The iron nail provoked a stroke, such a close distance, the speed of Ning Yue's sneak attack was unimaginably fast, the sharp nail suddenly slashed at Shang Qing's wrist holding the sword, and the moment blood spurted out from the cut wound, the other party's five fingers also subconsciously let go, and the long sword fell.

The short body stepped past Shang Qing's body that retreated in pain, Ning Yue took advantage of the situation with his right hand, and the iron nail flew and nailed to the soles of the feet of the nearest other person, and at the same time, the toes were hooked, and the ancient sword leaning on the wall on the side started, and slashed at the third person who reacted and came to stop.

Ping!

The sword snapped, and the brownish-red tip cut a bloody streak on the man's chest.

At the same time that the person stopped in pain, Ning Yue no longer continued to entangle, turned around and kicked with all his strength, leaping forward, and the body martial arts Feiyan Tiyun Zongzong launched again, stepped on the eaves not far away and continued to use his strength to sweep out, and the rest of the people could not be stopped in time.

Listening to the whistling wind in his ears, he glanced back again, only to see that Zhang Qi and the bounty hunter's final blow had indeed decided the victory, Zhang Qi was slightly defeated, half-kneeling on the roof, a sword mark cracked in his chest.

It's a pity that the loot they set as a bet is no longer there.

"Damn, what are you all doing, chase me!"

The leader of the winning bounty hunter finally saw Ning Yue's back, the fight just now made the breath in his chest tumble, and the consumption at this moment is not small, but compared to the bounty in his hand, this discomfort is not at all, and he did not wait for his companions to react, he took a big step first, and kicked the end of the eaves with the force of his feet, and the speed of the sweep was not slow at all, and the distance between him and Ning Yue was shortened a lot in an instant.

This scene naturally fell in Ning Yue's eyes, and his heart sank again, in his prediction, the leader and Zhang Qi were about the same strength, and the moment the two of them were separated, they should not be able to catch up with themselves who fled first. But now it seems that the strength of the other party is still underestimated.

At the same time, he glanced at the tip of the ancient sword in his hand, and a lot of the blood that had been splashed from the slash just now was stained on it, and it seemed to be being absorbed by the blade.

"That's what I expected. Now that the conditions are met, let's try its power again......"
