Chapter 45: Death and Life
The night sank, and a thick fog swept in from all directions, and the insects and birds dissipated in an instant. A few heavy gasps broke the silence, the birds flapped their wings and flew out, and the rain that had accumulated on the leaves fell.
Hands covered in mud ripped open the dense rattans, and an embarrassed figure sprang out, and the clothes had been torn into strips of cloth and knotted with many knots. The panic on the woman's face finally fell silent after a moment of respite, and she stumbled to the ground, and looked back, the gray color in her eyes becoming more and more obvious.
The reddened circles under his eyes were bloodshot and unbearably dry.
Sitting up with difficulty, the woman leaned on the trunk of the tree, trying her best to calm her mind, and the hot breath that came out of her mouth was not for a while, as if she had reached the verge of death, and only her last breath remained.
The tracker didn't hide his intentions, and the resurgence of the dead branches made a grinding sound at his feet, like the ghost sound in the Nine Hells, and it was terrifying.
After a while, the figure had already appeared not far away, and when he noticed the movement here, he stopped listening to it, and said abruptly: "Although you are inevitably going to die, it is already very good to let me chase for so long." ”
He was sincerely amazed, a person who didn't have any experience in escaping was really good to be able to get to this point. In fact, he never underestimated people's counterattacks before they died.
But the woman in front of her, no matter how unwilling she is, everything will be useless.
Of course, he would not be in a happy mood because he killed a woman who was powerless, and in his eyes, if killing was just killing, it would be completely tasteless, so the narrow Tang knife in his hand was never pulled out.
Maybe he saw the beauty of the woman in front of him and couldn't bear to destroy this beautiful body, or maybe he was still looking for a reason. But no matter what the reason, he stood quietly by the side, staring at the woman under the tree, and did not move for a long time.
"It's time for you to hit the road." After the tea, he finally spoke, and the harsh metallic sound was extremely unpleasant.
Su Xiaoyan slowly raised her head, her eyes lit up, staring directly at the other party, but no matter how sharp her eyes were, they were blocked by the other party's mask.
"Since I'm going to die, at least let me die, right?"
The golden-faced man shook his head and said, "This method of trying to delay time is too clumsy.
Besides, you think I'm going to tell you who is behind the scenes? ”
Su Xiaoyan snorted and laughed at herself: "I don't want my daughter to die so fiercely." ”
The sword had already been drawn over there, and the cold blade glowed with cold light in the night, and the golden mask reflected on the blade, becoming more and more cold.
The slaughter spreads.
Su Xiaoyan closed her eyes.
The wind rose, the figure was like the wind, and it swept over, and the light of the knife turned around, and the sound of cutting through the air seemed to be heard in the ears.
The blade of the knife was approaching, Su Xiaoyan stood up suddenly, it seemed to be the most instinctive dodge, the long knife entered the bone, the throat was sweet, and the corners of the mouth overflowed blood.
The thin clouds swept sharply, and the moonlight flickered brightly and darkly.
The wound was dripping with blood, and the pain in her heart had clearly reached her mind at this time, her face turned pale, and her tightly pursed lips turned purple in an instant.
"It's crooked!" She wanted to laugh, but the intense pain had numbed her smile, but her eyes were still brighter, brighter than the moonlight.
But it is playful and sad.
The golden-faced man paused, and finally saw where his knife had pierced, and sighed helplessly, thinking that it was really a good thing to have a big heart.
The blade turned, and there was a painful snort on the other side, but he still didn't faint in the end.
"That's enough." The sound was abrupt, and as soon as the words fell, there was a sound of Suo Suo in the distance, and it was close in a moment.
The golden-faced man reacted, he actually retreated a few steps, and the woman on the opposite side had already knelt on the ground, and a figure appeared next to her, supporting her who was about to fall.
Su Xiaoyan was foaming blood in her mouth, so she was not miserable. After noticing the movement around him, he smiled knowingly and fell on the person who came.
The golden-faced man's afterglow moved downward, and there was an inch-long crack on his right arm, and in the blink of an eye, the complexion under the crack had turned purple.
The figure suddenly appeared on the other side, and at this time, no one squatted down on his back.
The golden-faced man heard a sigh, and he didn't need to think about it to know that the other party had torn the woman's clothes, of course he wouldn't envy anything, as a veteran of the flowers, he had seen a lot of things, and he didn't feel strange. Moreover, the flesh and blood must be blurred at the moment, and what beauty is there.
What's more, he was here to kill people.
He wouldn't have let people save the woman.
In view of the previous anxiety, he didn't dare to make a rash move, but since the other party was like no one around and regarded him as nothing, then don't blame him for taking advantage of others.
The golden-faced man couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this, thinking that he had really been comfortable for a long time, between blood and fire, there was only you living and dying, but there was no reason to speak of the slightest affection.
The knife was raised, the blood spilled out, and he swept over. The knife was as fast as the wind, drawing afterimages in the air, changing the void and reality, and slashing over there.
When Wang Ning heard the movement, she picked up Su Xiaoyan, stretched her figure, and swept to the side. In a few ups and downs, he was already out of the attack range of the golden-faced man, but in the face of a master of the same level, he did not hide easily, and several wounds were cut on his body.
Su Xiaoyan in her arms had already fallen asleep, so she was unconscious of his previous offense. Speaking of which, if he hadn't been entangled in this just now, why would he be so embarrassed. Feeling the wound medicine on her body, she simply treated the wound, she closed her clothes, and he turned around and looked at the golden-faced man opposite.
He had a rag over his face.
Although the two sides do not know each other, unnecessary troubles can still be avoided.
Of course, Wang Ning and Ji Qian'er have a somewhat close relationship, because he has guessed a little about the identity of the person in front of him, but he is not sure which of the four Xuanhuang of heaven and earth is it.
"You were the same before?" The golden-faced man asked.
Wang Ning didn't answer, his eyes locked on the other party's knife, and then it became transparent: "That knife is good, if you keep it, I can let you live." ”
"Hmph...... Brag unblushingly. The golden-faced man tightened the knife in his hand, and his momentum rose suddenly.
"Forget it, I don't dare to use this kind of knife anyway." As he spoke, he kicked a branch from the ground and held it in his hand and gestured a few times.
The voice suddenly became cold: "I don't know what you are plotting, but if you waste other people's lives, this account must be settled." ”
"Just you?" There was no need to continue the temptation of each other at this point.
The wind rose, and a strong smell of decay spread.
The moonlight is like a knife, piercing the woods coldly, making people uncomfortable.
The big war is about to break out, and after a few moves, they have a mutual understanding in their hearts and become more and more serious.
Wang Ning had already changed a few branches, and the blood on his wrist had already coagulated, if he hadn't let go quickly, he must have broken his tendons.
Yu Guang glanced at Su Xiaoyan on the ground, and his heart sank after all.
