"He's there!"

Suddenly, the old man in the shroud shouted.

Looking for the voice, I hurriedly turned my head to look, and found that the corpse controller, Wang Er, was running out of the courtyard.

"Damn it! Can't let that fuck off. "My second senior brother Jiang Tianzhou rushed out of the sea of fire with me, and the direction was the direction of the courtyard gate.

The old man in the shroud had already chased after him.

Unexpectedly, three Taoist priests dealt with a corpse controller, and let him find a chance to escape. Ahead, the corpse controller and the old man in shroud were one behind the other, one running, the other chasing.

Later, my second brother and I followed closely.

But because of the limited mana, the mana under my feet was already exhausted before I stepped out of the 100 meters. Plus, with the walking corpses before, I'm now weak and out of breath.

"No more! ... Second senior brother, I can't run. ”

I put my hands on my knees and bowed down, not wanting to lift my head.

Jiang Tianzhou glanced at me and said urgently: "Senior Brother Yuyang, you wait for me here first, and I'll chase the corpse controller." Wait a minute, get him done, and I'll come back to meet you. ”

I nodded, "Good!" ... Second Senior Brother, you pay attention to safety. ”

"Don't worry, with me and the old man in shroud, it won't be a problem for the two of us to clean up that Wang Er."

After that, my second senior brother didn't care about me anymore, so he quickly stepped on the Jiugong Gang step and chased towards the outside of the village.

The village is not big, and the outside is full of woods, and it is so dark that you can't see anything clearly. However, the sound of running can still be heard.

It didn't take long for the footsteps of the three people to be far away.

The mana is depleted, and the body is sore and sore. I couldn't hold on, so I sat on the ground. There are a lot of broken stones on the ground, and it is quite flat.

But it was dark all around, and it was still in a village where there were no people. Not far away, the houses in the yard have been completely burned......

In such an environment, I was left alone in the village, and I was really a little uneasy.

I don't know why, but my eyelids started jumping again for no apparent reason.

I'm used to being in a big city, and the lights are bright at night, and I don't have the fear of being in the dark. But as soon as you get to the countryside, at night, especially in the village where I'm staying, there is no one around, no one, no sound, and you feel fear.

It always felt like there was something hiding in the dark.

The eyelids were beating harder and harder, and the uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense. This feeling had come up once before in the ghost market.

And the heart is also beating like a drum, beating wildly.

I tried to comfort myself as much as I could and relax myself. I think maybe I was too nervous, because what happened tonight could be described as "sensational". I didn't encounter ghosts, but I encountered a large group of walking corpses.

If this is known to some unscrupulous reporters and reported on it, I am afraid that it may cause panic in society.

Shaking my head, I recited the Pure Heart Mantra in my heart, and the feeling of uneasiness slowly subsided.

But I still hope that my second senior brother Jiang Tianzhou can come back soon.

Relieving myself, I pulled water out of my backpack and took two sips. After drinking the water, I sat cross-legged on the ground, ready to run the "Tiangang Decision" to absorb the qi of Tiangang and regulate my body.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I closed my eyes and started to make a decision, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the dark dirt road. The footsteps were not the sound of running, unhurried, and seemed to be very leisurely.

I opened my eyes, fixed on the direction the voice was coming from.

After a while, the sound was getting closer and closer!

I swallowed my saliva and nervously shouted over there, "Second Senior Brother, is that you?" ”

But there was not a single echo in the darkness, as if the footsteps had stopped. But I could feel the presence of that person, hiding in the darkness.

No, it may not be human, it is some kind of ghost.

The eyelids were beating more and more, and even the eye sockets were sour for a while.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came again unhurriedly. Because the distance was closer, this time, I listened more realistically. Soon, a figure flashed out from behind a ruined fence on the side of the dirt road.

The moonlight was still bright, and I could see the figure of the person vaguely.

Fortunately, it's a person, not a ghost.

"Who are you?"

I softened my voice and asked the man in a solemn voice.

The man remained silent, and seemed to quicken his steps a little, and walked towards me.

I realized that something was wrong, and felt that there might be some danger, so I hurriedly supported the ground with one hand and slowly got up from the ground.

And the figure had come to me.

I barely managed to see each other's bodies and faces clearly.

Blue shroud, full of yellow-brown age spots.

It's an old man in a shroud!

With a frown, I realized that something was wrong, and said suspiciously, "Why are you?!" ... Didn't you go after that corpse controller, Wang Er? How did you come back again? ”

I suddenly felt that the eyes of the old man in shroud were gloomy.

The old man in shroud laughed dryly and asked me, "What do you think I'm coming back for?" His words were strange, and there was a coldness and calmness in them.

I understood something, he came to me.

Keeping my eyes fixed on the old man in shroud, I said solemnly, "So, you're coming back to kill me?" ”

The old man in shroud didn't hide it, and said with a gloomy smile: "Yes, you're right!" ... I've come back to ask for your life. Wang Er, that idiot, if I hadn't helped him, how could he have escaped. However, since he lured Jiang Tianzhou away, I can easily take your life. ”

"And God doesn't know it!"

Oh yes!

Dare to love that Wang Er and the old man in shroud are still in the same group. They pretended to be really like each other. Even when I doubted the identity of the old man in shroud, the old man was not exposed. If you don't take this kind of acting skills, you will be sorry for yourself.

"So, you and that corpse controller, Wang Er, are both lackeys sent by the Wild Dog Daoist?"

I asked, reaching for the wand from my waist.

Now I don't have mana on my body, so I can only delay time by fighting, and try to wait until my second senior brother Jiang Tianzhou comes back. But this old man in shroud in front of me, his Taoism is unfathomable, can I be his opponent?

This is obviously not very realistic either.

If I still have a little bit of mana, maybe I can activate the Cursed Eye and other means. But the mana in me is depleted. This old man in shroud will definitely not let me absorb Tiangang's qi and then duel with him. In that case, wouldn't he be a fool?

The purpose of his sneaking back was to kill me.

"It's true that the Wild Dog Daoist asked us to kill you two! ... Well, you're wrong, we're not the lackeys of the Wild Dog Leader, it's just a deal. We will take your heads, and the Wild Dog will give us what we need. ”

"So, neither you nor that Jiang Tianzhou will die here today!"

I was very angry in my heart, and with a gloomy face, I scolded the old man in shroud: "You guys are really despicable enough! And when he has calculated us, he will kill us. ”

The old man in shroud didn't answer my words, and his gaze sharpened a little. It was as if an eagle had spotted a stray chick, as if I had become his prey.

Naturally, I didn't want to be killed by this guy, so I stepped back. The direction is where the corpse controller Wang Er's courtyard is located. But the old man in shroud was smiling darkly, and then walked towards me unhurriedly.

But my body was too tired, and I was nervous, and I didn't have the mana in my body, so I didn't go a few steps away, and I was too tired to do it.

As soon as my feet went limp, like a noodle, I sat down on the ground.

"Old man, you'd better not do stupid things, otherwise my master and my brother will definitely not let you go. I'm a lay disciple of the Lushan sect now, don't you still want to offend Lushan? ”

However, the old man in shroud didn't care about my words: "Lushan? ... Hum! The Lushan faction used to be very powerful, even better than the Maoshan faction. But after so many years, there are very few disciples of your Lushan Sect, and even a few branches are full of contradictions. ”

"So, if you want to threaten me with Lushan, you can't do it. Besides, I will kill your senior brother Jiang Tianzhou, and when the time comes, God will not know it, and no one will suspect me. ”

"It's to blame you for offending the people of the Northern Underworld Sect!"

When he said this, the old man in shroud stood still, and mana suddenly gushed out from his body, and the iron sword that he had been carrying on his right hand was already lit up with yellow light.

I didn't flinch anymore, and I knew in my heart that I couldn't deal with this old man in shroud.

"! ... Old man, sir, I admit it today! Since you want to kill me, I won't say anything, but even if the master dies, he will become a demon and haunt you, so that you will not die well. ”

That's just a little bit of a complaint from me. The other party is a Taoist priest, and the Taoism is profound, so wouldn't it be easy to deal with ghosts. I'm afraid that my soul will be destroyed before it turns into a ghost.

"Really? You're sharp-tongued, but you don't stand a chance! ”

After saying it coldly, the body of the old man in shroud became illusory under the surge of mana, and then rushed towards me quickly. The sword in his hand was pointed at my heart, and I knew that I would die tonight.

Oh yes!

Is it so difficult to become a great scholar? I haven't shined yet, and I'm going to die today in no apparent terms. Even, my second senior brother Jiang Tianzhou may not know that I was killed by the old man in shroud. It is also possible that the old man in shroud continued to make false promises with my second senior brother, and then took the opportunity to sneak attack my second senior brother and take his life.

If that's the case, we're really unlucky.

The yellow sword light slowly became clear in my eyes, growing larger, and stabbing towards my chest at an unusually fast speed.

It's over!

I smiled wryly, not knowing what to say.

It feels like fish on a board, and it feels like it's being slaughtered.

Helpless, I closed my eyes and waited for death to come.

And just as the iron sword was about to pierce my heart, all of a sudden, a muffled sound of "da" came from in front of me. The expected iron sword didn't pierce my body, and I didn't feel pain.

"Who is there? ... Come out for me! The old man in shroud asked sharply.

Suddenly, I realized something and opened my eyes. I saw that the old man in shroud had retreated a few meters away from me, and the iron sword in his hand had been broken in the middle.

The severed blade fell less than a meter away from my body.

His gaze was fixed on a dark spot on the left-hand side of me.
