Chapter 19: The First Distress

Wei Zeng was now surrounded by more than a dozen cultists, covered in blood, and had several new wounds added to his body, and the old wounds had also cracked open due to the fierce fighting. Wei Zeng protected Feng Liansheng and did not let her be harmed. Feng Liansheng grabbed Wei Zeng's back coat with both hands, looked panicked, looked at Wei Zeng and then looked at the cultist, and hid behind Wei Zeng. Wei Zeng patted Feng Liansheng's arm, endured the pain, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, this time you will definitely be able to escape like the previous times." Even if I fight for my life, I will keep you safe. Feng Liansheng's heart warmed, and he glanced at Wei Zeng gently. Wei Zeng is still alive only because the dozen or so cultists were divided into two groups, one side is a green-clothed ghost-faced, the other is a black-clothed cloak, and the two sides are on their own guard, so they did not besiege Wei Zeng, so they were deadlocked, only occasionally a few sounds of swords and soldiers intersecting.

In the three days after encountering the injured bounty hunter, Wei Zeng encountered no less than a dozen groups of cultists, some with a ghost face in green clothes and some with black cloaks. Wei Zeng was very vigilant and avoided if he could, and he hid if he could, he really let it go several times, but there were also those who couldn't be avoided, so Wei Zeng took Feng Liansheng all the way out to escape. Wei Zeng has rich fighting skills and fierce fighting, and he did break out of the encirclement several times, and once wiped out a wave of cultists, but his body was injured more and more.

Although these injuries are not fatal, but the new injuries add to the old ones, and they can't get a good rest, and now Wei Zeng is already very weak. Finally, today, when he met the Demon Cultist, Wei Zeng encountered the Death Cultist again when he fled, and he was wrapped in the middle like a sandwich cake, and the battle failed to break out of the encirclement for a while, so it was a stalemate.

Wei Zeng was very weak, sweat gushed out layer by layer and blood mixed with blood, and his body was very painful. Wei Zeng really wanted to throw down the long sword and lie on the ground, so he fell asleep, maybe he couldn't wake up, but it was better than the pain in his body now. But after glancing at Feng Liansheng behind him, he thought that his mother's revenge had not been avenged, so he endured and waited for the opportunity to fight his way out of the encirclement.

At the same time, a few miles to the north of Wei Zeng's location, a young man dressed in black and holding a horizontal knife stood by a small stream.

"Holy Son, are we going to continue to chase after us? It's been ten days, and I'm afraid those two people have already escaped. In addition, this is the place of the Demon Sect, although we have repelled several attacks from the Demon Sect, but when the Demon Sect around Lu Ye City comes back, we will be really in danger. An old man in black said to Liu Yi.

"Godfather, those two people escaped from my hands, if I don't capture or kill them, how can I wash away this stain on my life." Liu Yi said fiercely.

The old man in black smiled bitterly in his heart, he watched Liu Yi grow up, how could Liu Yi hide from him what thoughts he had in his heart. Ten days ago, Liu Yi brought back the two of them, although Liu Yi had always been cold, the old man in black still saw that Liu Yi was very interested in the Feng woman. Although Liu Yi didn't say a few more words to the woman, nor did he give a few good expressions, Liu Yi still said too many words and showed too many good expressions compared to others.

The old man in black didn't care too much, and it was normal for a young man with strong blood to fall in love with a young and beautiful woman. In addition, it was rumored that the Feng woman's conduct was okay, and she would not insult the Holy Son, so the old man in black didn't care much.

Ten days ago, under the attack of the bounty hunters, Liu Yi and his party fled in a hurry, and they were escaped by the two. After repelling the pursuing bounty hunters after joining up with the main force, Liu Yi ordered the Death Cultists to capture Wei Zeng and Feng Liansheng. The old man in black also persuaded Liu Yi, and Liu Yi insisted on arresting the two in the name of washing away the stain of the Holy Son, so there was a pursuit for nearly seven days. Along the way, the old man in black took care of Liu Yi's heart, but fortunately, most of the demon cultists went to the vicinity of Lu Ye City, and the sporadic bounty hunters could not pose a threat, and there was no danger along the way.

"Holy Son, I have been following the Holy Son for so many years, and the old man of the Holy Son's mind can still see a little. The old man still has to say a few more words, the Holy Son must put the cause of the Holy Sect and his own life first, and other things are also easy to obtain with the power of my sect. There are too many young and beautiful women in this world, and there is no need to take such a big risk for one person. The old man in black admonished.

"How could the godfather think that I came for a woman, and that I had done so well in arresting them. For the sake of the honor of the Holy Religion and for the sake of his own purity as the Holy Son, those two who insulted the Holy Religion must be seized as a punishment. This is also for the cause of the Holy Religion. Liu Yi argued.

Hearing this, the old man in black smiled bitterly in his heart: If you want to punish the two people who escaped, why should you be so aggressive, a black-clothed holy guard can perfectly deal with those two. This time, the Holy Son proposed to capture him alive, and he also risked fighting with the demon sect, which is not as simple as punishment. The Holy Son is too young to say too much will only make him rebel, so it is better not to say it for now, and to persuade him slowly later. It's a big deal to pull down the old face and play an emotional card for the Holy Son, with the relationship between himself and the Holy Son for so many years, is it not as good as a woman who has just known each other for a few days?

At this time, a Death Cultist ran over and said that he had surrounded Wei Zeng and Feng Liansheng. Liu Yi asked if there was no possibility for the two of them to escape, so he led the crowd to rush over. I also got such news a few days ago, but when I arrived, the people had already broken through and ran away. Liu Yi didn't delay at all this time.

Wei Zeng really reached the limit of his physical strength, and he broke through several times without success, and his body no longer had half of his strength. Holding the long sword in his hand, he bit his tongue to stop the dizziness and did not fall.

"Miss Feng, it seems that I really can't help you this time. Those demonic cultists want to kill you, and the Death cultists don't seem to want to kill you. In a moment, I will do my best to stop those demon cultists, and you will run to those men in black and maybe you can still save your life. Wei Zeng gritted his teeth and said hard.

"I'm not leaving, do you remember your promise? Before you can avenge me, are you going to leave me one to those cultists? In their hands, I will surely live worse than die. If you die, I might as well die too. ”

"I really tried my best, don't blame me, it's a big deal to pay you back in the next life. To live, you must live, and only by living can you talk about everything else. Saying that, Wei Zeng raised his sword and was about to pounce on the demon cultists.

At this moment, a large group of Death Cultists surrounded them, and there were many black-clothed holy guards among them. The demon cultists were quickly defeated, and no one escaped.

Wei Zeng collapsed to the ground with all his strength, Feng Liansheng looked at the death cultists around him, picked up Wei Zeng's long sword, and pointed at everyone to prevent everyone from approaching, but the trembling sword couldn't hurt anyone at first glance.

Liu Yi walked out of the crowd and walked in front of Feng Liansheng and knocked Feng Liansheng's trembling sword away with a single sword. Feng Liansheng also fell to Wei Zeng's side. Liu Yi raised a knife and was about to cut off Wei Zeng's head. Seeing this, Feng Liansheng pounced on Wei Zeng, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he was about to take a knife for Wei Zeng. The knife stopped just as Kankan was about to slash at Feng Liansheng. Feng Liansheng opened his eyes and saw the bright blade, and he was also shocked in his heart, but he immediately hugged Wei Zeng tighter and covered the ground more tightly.

"Good, good, good, it's really a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks with deep feelings." Liu Yi withdrew the knife, and said in a voice that seemed to tremble with excitement: "But I'm afraid you're going to die here today, and when you die, I'll be kind enough to bury you together." ”

"If you want to kill him, you have to kill me first. Don't bother anymore, let's do it. Feng Liansheng looked directly at Liu Yi and said. This delicate woman seemed to have forgotten what fear was when facing Liu Yi, and there was a kind of determination in her eyes.

"Do you think I won't dare kill you?" A wave of anger appeared on Liu Yi's cold face, like a fire rising from the ice, which was very strange. Liu Yi was angry and wanted to raise his knife to kill, but the knife just couldn't be raised.

"Then let's do it." Feng Liansheng said coldly.

"You, you, you." Liu Yi was so angry that his face turned blue, and he raised the knife as soon as his heart was ruthless, but the raised knife just couldn't fall.

Seeing that Liu Yi had fallen into such an embarrassing situation, the old man in black said in his heart: "The Holy Son kills people only in a single thought, and if you wave the knife to take it back, you won't kill it." This woman really doesn't know how to lift, even if she gives the Holy Son a step down first, and then pleads with the Holy Son, the Holy Son will not necessarily kill you. Now I see that the Holy Son is riding a tiger and it is difficult to get down, and I can't bear to cut it down, and I have no face to take it back. Looks like I'm going to clean up the mess again. ”

The old man in black took a step forward and said to Feng Liansheng and Wei Zeng, "My Holy Sect never kills innocents indiscriminately, only sinners and people who are disrespectful to the Lord God. Though you both flee, you will surely not sin unto death. When the Son thought of this, he could not bear to kill you, so he would spare your lives until now, just to give you a chance to mend your ways. Convert to the Holy Religion and attain eternal life. As long as you are willing to join the Holy Religion, the Son of God will be merciful and forgive you both of you for your previous offenses, otherwise you will be killed to make an example. ”

Seeing this, Liu Yi took the opportunity to retract the horizontal knife to the scabbard and said, "What the godfather said is what I mean, whether you live or die is up to you." ”

Hearing this, Feng Liansheng knew that there was a glimmer of life, and he also had a desire to survive in his heart, so he looked at Wei Zeng as if asking for his opinion. Although Wei Zeng was weak, he was awake all the time, and he also saw the scene just now. Wei Zeng didn't want to die, but his mother once warned him: "Don't be a thief." "This Death Sect has acted in extreme ways, and has done many illegal and criminal things, although it is not a thief, but it is no different from a thief. He responded, "I won't join the cult, otherwise I won't be able to face my dead mother." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi sneered in his heart: "Will I beg you to join the Holy Sect?" If you don't enter, I just killed you, and I saved a trouble. But although Liu Yi thought so, seeing that Feng Liansheng seemed to be about to refuse when he heard Wei Zeng's words, his heart was also tight.

The old man in black saw the changes in the expressions of the three of them, sighed, and said without waiting for Feng Liansheng to answer: "My Holy Sect has always shown no mercy to heretics who do not belong to the dead, but it is still very polite to the friends of the members of my own sect. It is understandable that this little brother may be reluctant to join the Holy Sect because of his mother, after all, it is also out of filial piety. If this girl joins the Holy Religion, we will forgive her friends from our own sect for minor offenses. If not, there will be no escape. ”

Feng Liansheng didn't know what the old man meant when he heard his words. Seeing Wei Zeng, who was already very weak, he said in his heart: "You have been taking care of me all the way, and it is time for me to protect you now and protect you once." ”

"If I join your sect, will I be able to spare my friend?" Feng Liansheng said.

"You can't do it." Liu Yi said coldly.

"The Son has decided, and all members of my sect will follow it." The old man in black also said.

"Okay, I'll go with you and join your sect, and you must keep your promise to let my friend go." Feng Liansheng responded.

"Let's go, then." Liu Yi said, turning around and leaving, unwilling to pay more attention to this mess.

"Wait a minute."

"Anything else?"

"This friend of mine is seriously injured, and he will definitely not survive if he is not treated, let me help him take care of his wounds first, and I will leave with you." As he spoke, he took out the wound medicine and bandaged Wei Zeng.

Liu Yi only snorted and didn't say much, just looked at the two of them coldly.

Feng Liansheng silently bandaged Wei Zeng's wounds, and finally fed him some food. Before getting up, he whispered in Wei Zeng's ear: "Remember what you promised me, otherwise I will never let you go." Then he went away with Liu Yi and his party.

Wei Zeng watched Feng Liansheng's distant figure finally disappear, and Wei Zeng's heart ached. Recalling the scenes with Feng Liansheng in the past few days, Wei Zeng seemed to understand something. Thinking of Feng Liansheng's changeable mood, Wei Zeng suddenly felt a deep affection in it.

"Is this what it feels like to be distressed? Why wait until you lose it to understand everything. Wei Zeng had an unbearable feeling in his heart, this pain was a hundred times more painful than the pain in his body, and it could not be ignored or avoided.

Wei Zeng propped up his injured body and chased in the direction of Feng Liansheng, stumbled, and accidentally rolled down a hillside, and disappeared into a piece of grass.

Soon, two black-cloaked holy guards appeared in Wei Zeng's original place.

"Elder Wu wants us to get rid of this person, and we must not let him escape."

"This person is injured, but I didn't expect to run so fast, and there was no figure for a while."

"Okay, it's important to get down to business, let's chase it quickly"

With that, the two chased south, but they didn't know that Wei Zeng was not far behind them now.
