Xia Fan looked at Ye Fantian who disappeared in the night, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid, we will never see him again."

Acquaintance will eventually have fate, and when fate is over, there will be no chance to see each other again.

He knew this, after all, he was not a person in this plane, and returning to the inn was what he needed to do now.

The group did not rush back to Kyoto, but slowly walked down the mountain, after a few days of fighting, most of the energy in their bodies was consumed, and it was a very easy thing for them to be able to walk for a while.

After going down the mountain, Xia Fan and his party came to the village at the bottom of the mountain, which was brightly lit and looked like a small county town.

After finding an inn, they planned to stay first, so that they could rest for a night, and tomorrow, they would prepare to return to the superpower inn.

Along the way, Xia Fan thought about it, and finally decided not to return to Kyoto, because it was no longer necessary.

In the dead of night, Xia Fan stayed alone in the guest room, he made himself a good pot of tea, sat by the window, and looked at the stars in the sky.

It's much better than our world, the environment is not polluted, and the air is still so good.

Thinking of this, Xia Fan took a deep breath.

Suddenly, he felt that there was a sound of footsteps around him, and from the footsteps, he could hear at least twenty or thirty people, and moreover, their steps were brisk, not like ordinary people.

Are these people coming to me?

Xia Fan first closed the window, then extinguished the candle in the room, and then placed the teapot on the table.

Immediately, he hid behind the door.

I just listened to the sound of brisk and hurried footsteps, which were approaching rapidly, and finally, stopped at the door of the room!

The corners of Xia Fan's mouth rose slightly, and he thought, this is really coming to me, most of them should be the emperor's people, could it be that Ye Fantian handed over the elixir to the emperor, what is strange in it? That's when you came to the door?

What he doesn't like the most is extraneous branches, especially when he is involved in the struggle of the royal family, and he has watched several court dramas before, and the intrigue scenes in them make him very disgusted.

Then, he slowly opened the room, regardless of who was outside.

As soon as Xia Fan opened the door, he saw several people in black!

In an instant, the sword light and sword shadow flashed by, and the group of black-clothed people attacked Xia Fan together!

Xia Fan pulled out the Jin Lin Sword and resisted it without hurry, he didn't mean to hurt anyone, otherwise, they would have died outside the door a long time ago, and they couldn't wait for him to open the door.

For him, at this time, more is better than less.

Xia Fan's steps were light, and when he dodged the attack, he didn't forget to ask, "You were sent by the emperor?" What is the purpose of killing me? ”

I saw that those men in black, as if they didn't hear him, were still desperately attacking.

Xia Fan looked helpless, thinking, it seems that from these people, he can't ask why.

So, he made up his mind to kill all these men in black who came to assassinate him.

Immediately, I saw that a sword flashed, and a deep scar was left on the neck of the man in black.

In the dark night, Xia Fan's figure was like a ghost, and in a flash, many black-clothed people fell to the ground.

Bright red blood slowly slipped from under the sword and dripped to the ground.

Xia Fan shook the sword, only to see that the blood stained with the sword disappeared in an instant.

"Come out, I know, you've been keeping an eye on me."

Immediately, he looked at the window of the room.

The next moment, I saw that a person wearing a night walker, masked and unable to see his face clearly, walked in front of Xia Fan.

"Xia Fan, you are very powerful, you will kill all the people I brought with one move, I am not your opponent."

The man seemed to deny his strength, of course, it could also be because Xia Fan was too strong.

When Xia Fan heard this, he said, "You were sent by the emperor?" ”

The masked man nodded and said, "I am the guard in front of the Emperor's Palace, Shadow."

"Is there something wrong with coming to me? Or is it just to kill me? ”

Xia Fan said calmly, he had already used his mana to detect this murder called Shadow, his strength was completely below him, there was no need to worry at all, and even his mana shield could not be broken.

"Exactly."

Shadow's answer was extremely calm and calm.

"Why?"

Xia Fan asked.

The shadow said in a deep voice, "Because you have entered the Holy Land."

Xia Fan smiled slightly, he had already guessed that since the letter that opened the enchantment was in the hands of the emperor, then the royal family might have already entered the Holy Land, but they had not obtained the power of the Holy Land.

Now, they have returned from the Holy Land, and their strength has been greatly improved, and the emperor naturally can't look at it.

The emperor has now obtained an immortal body, and if he wants to make himself stronger, he must cultivate through ascension, and this holy place is one of the places where he cultivates.

In fact, as early as the night he handed over the letter, he regretted it, so he let the shadow catch up, but it was still a step too late.

And, the emperor's order to the shadow was to kill Ye Fantian and the others who came out of the holy land.

The shadow is the emperor's imperial guard, and his strength is not too bad, not much different from Ye Fantian before he did not improve his strength, and the reason why he chose to come to Xia Fan first is because he feels that even if Xia Fan's strength is improved, it will not be possible to surpass Ye Fantian.

Obviously, he was wrong, and this mistake cost him his life.

Xia Fan smiled and said, "Come on, if you have the ability, bring my body back to the emperor."

His expression was full of disdain, he felt that the shadow didn't have this strength at all, and he didn't know who gave him such confidence.

Immediately, I saw that the black shadow was passing through the moonlight, and the speed of the shadow was extremely fast, and the title of his shadow was not wasted.

However, all this, in Xia Fan's eyes, looks like a person walking slowly.

Now, Xia Fan's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he is only one step away from the Supreme Mage, not to mention how easy it is to face a killer like Shadow.

"Is that all you have to do?"

Xia Fan stretched his waist and said.

Seeing that Xia Fan had leaked a flaw, the shadow pulled out a knife from his cuff and stabbed him in the chest!

I saw that Xia Fan's figure gradually became blurred, and the shadow knife stabbed into the air!

How can it be!

The shadow was shocked in his heart, but it was too late, only to see that Xia Fan's Jin Lin Sword pierced his arm in shock!

"Ahh

There was a terrible cry from the inn, which frightened the inhabitants of the inn and closed the windows and doors.

"That's all you have?"

Xia Fan pulled out the Golden Scale Sword and wiped the blood stains on the sword.

The shadow held the injured arm, his wound was still bleeding, and Xia Fan's blow made him lose his combat effectiveness.

"Your strength is not below Ye Fantian."

He said, clutching his wounds.

Xia Fan smiled slightly and put away the Jin Lin Sword.

"That's natural, you chose the wrong person, no, you shouldn't have come with you at all."

Now, Ye Fantian's strength has also been improved, and his shadow is Ye Fantian's opponent, so this time, the pursuit of the shadow was originally a wrong choice, and it can only be said that he followed the wrong person.

"Hahahaha."

The shadow shook his head and smiled: "I didn't expect that my shadow, today, would die here, but I died at the hands of your Xia Fan, I am convinced!" ”

His skills are not as good as others, and he is willing to die.

Xia Fan sighed lightly and said, "You go, I won't kill you."

"Why?"

The shadow is confused.

"It's nothing, you're loyal, it's just that you're following the wrong boss."

Xia Fan said and walked back to the guest room.

He was about to close the door, but the shadow said: "Now, my mission has failed, and I can't go back to Kyoto, please Xia Gongzi, give me a death."

Xia Fan paused, looked at the shadow, and said, "You go, I won't kill you, you are not wrong, it is your master who is wrong."

With that, he closed the door.

As soon as he entered the room, Xia Fan lit the candle, and in the room, there was a fire again, he just picked up the teapot on the table, and when he turned around, he saw that the shadow was kneeling in front of him.

"I have no way out, please ask Xia Gongzi to kill me!"

"Sick!" Xia Fan covered his face with an expression, "How can anyone beg for death like this?" ”

"Don't you know, if I return to Kyoto like this, the emperor will also put me to death."

The shadow said in a deep voice.

Xia Fan thought for a moment and said, "That's it, it's better to follow me from today onwards, and you will have to die or live all day long."

The shadow didn't speak, but his heart was very entangled, how could he do this kind of betrayal?

Xia Fan saw that the shadow didn't speak for a long time, so he continued: "Don't you want to live for yourself? You just want to spend the rest of your life in the hands of the emperor every day? ”

With that, Xia Fan poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then opened the window of the room.

"I don't force you, you think about it yourself, and one more thing, I won't kill you."

The shadow's heart was shaken, especially after listening to Xia Fan's words just now, he felt that it made a lot of sense.

Immediately, he gritted his teeth and said, "I promise you."

Xia Fan turned his back to the shadow, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then, the smile quickly disappeared.

He slowly turned around and said, "If you come with me, you will leave this world, I don't belong here, so you have to make a decision."

Although the shadow didn't understand Xia Fan's words, he bowed down and said, "From now on, wherever the master goes, my shadow will follow."

Xia Fan looked helpless, thinking to himself, this shadow is probably brainwashed by the emperor, forget it, take it back in the future to educate and educate well, the strength is also good, and it can be used to spy on intelligence...

"Get up."

As he spoke, a white light shot out from his palm, shooting at the shadow's injured arm, and I saw that a moment later, the wound pierced by the Jin Lin Sword quickly healed.
