Chapter 22: Second Young Master
Tang Xian left quickly, leaving the two corpses of the iron porcupine and the ox-horned leopard in the clearing, the demon forest was calm at the moment, the crisp chirping of the birds sounded again, and only the messy traces and blood on the ground recorded the danger of the fight just now.
About half a pillar of incense, there was a sudden rustling sound in the grass in the distance, and after a while, two figures rushed out from the depths of the demon forest.
The two of them were one behind the other, and in front of them was a young man, dressed in a white robe, embroidered with seven black flowers, and carrying a long sword behind him.
The one behind him was a middle-aged man, dressed as a guard, wearing a green hair crown, with a long knife, and a scar on his face that stretched from his left ear to the corner of his mouth.
The white-robed young man hurried to the clearing, and saw the corpse of the ox-horned leopard lying on the clearing, which was already cold, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and a pair of Danfeng eyes showed a fierce look.
"My Ox-Horned Leopard ......!" the white-robed young man was expressionless, but in the deepest part of his eyes, there was an incomparably cruel trace of ruthlessness.
"Second Young Master!"
The middle-aged scar guard behind him stepped forward, looked at the horned leopard, then looked at the iron porcupine, turned back to the white-robed young man and said: "This iron porcupine has sword scars on its neck, and the demon pills of the horned leopard and the iron porcupine have all been taken away, it can be seen that it is not the so-called other demon beasts, it must be a human warrior!"
The scar guard was very careful when he spoke, for fear that the anger of the white-robed young man would affect him, you must know that the second young master had put a lot of effort into receiving and paying for this horned leopard. And after a few years, the horned leopard has become the second young master's right-hand man, and now that the horned leopard is dead unclear, how can the second young master be willing?
"No matter who it is, they will die!" The hatred in the eyes of the second young master was even stronger.
Then the second young master beckoned, and a golden retriever mouse burst out of his arms and ran to the puddle of blood on the ground and sniffed around.
It's a golden retriever-nosed rat!
The golden hair-nosed rat is a particularly weak demon beast, with almost no attack power, but it has an extremely outstanding ability, which is to track the smell, but all the smell that it has smelled, even after a few years, will still be remembered clearly.
After a while, the golden-haired rat rushed back to the second young master's side and squeaked. Obviously, through the bloodstains, he smelled the direction of Tang Xian's departure.
"Take me there!" the second young master said coldly.
Just as he was about to leave, the scar guard behind him spoke again: "Young master, slow down!"
"Huh?" The second young master was stopped by the Scar guard, his anger was even stronger, and he turned around and said, "What's the matter?"
The second young master's voice in anger was even colder, and the scar guard's heart trembled when he heard it, and he hurriedly spoke carefully, saying: "Second young master, we have been tracking that mountain tiger for half a month, and now that the traps have been arranged, we are about to close the net at the end, if we go after the warrior at this time, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses." ”
The second young master hated: "Could it be that my horned leopard died in vain?"
The Scar Guard continued: "We came to Humen Pass this time, and the ultimate goal is Zhao Jinwu's sword spectrum, which is the order of the eldest young master......
Hearing the 'eldest young master' in the mouth of the scar guard, the second young master's angry eyes gradually calmed down.
Seeing that the Second Young Master's temper had gradually returned to normal, the Scar Guard hurriedly continued: "If the Second Young Master subdues that mountain tiger, then the loss of this ox-horned leopard will be nothing!
Finally, the second young master closed his eyes slightly, as if he was trying to calm down his hatred, and said: "Yes, this time the eldest brother is in retreat and cultivation in Fangcun Academy, and he has reached the critical juncture of breakthrough, otherwise he would not have entrusted me to take this sword spectrum!"
Fangcun Academy!
If there are outsiders at this time, I am afraid that they will cry out with envy.
For example, the Daoist system is controlled by two families, namely the Heavenly Master Mansion of Zhongnan Mountain and the Taoist Temple of Wuyi Mountain.
And that Fangcun College is a lecture hall opened by the Wuyi Mountain Taoist Temple in Kyoto, recruiting outstanding talents from various sects, passing on scriptures and teachings, and also teaching some advanced exercises. It is known as one of the four major martial arts forces on the rivers and lakes.
Thinking of this, the second young master's eyes were cloudy, and he stroked the golden haired nose rat, and said, "Remember this smell for me, sooner or later I will let you know the fate of killing my demon beast!"
With that, the Second Young Master and the Scar Guard turned around and left towards the depths of the Demon Forest.
......
At the same time, Tang Xian, Yixin Taoist Priest, Zhao Gou and the three of them were rushing back in the direction of Humen Pass.
Yixin Taoist and Zhao Gou were both wondering at this time, and they didn't know why Tang Xian was scarred, so they hurried back, saying that they would return to Humen Pass immediately.
Tang Xian just explained lightly, saying: I've got into some trouble.
Yixin Taoist priest and Zhao Gou know Tang Xian quite well, and Tang Xian is definitely never sloppy when it comes to issues involving his life, so the two of them didn't ask much, so they immediately followed Tang Xian and marched towards Humen Pass non-stop.
After walking for nearly half a day, he returned to the official road leading to Humen Pass, and after walking for another mile, he could see the pass of Humen Pass, and Tang Xian's heart was also slightly relaxed.
At this time, looking at the official road from afar, there was no one, presumably close to the advent of the sword spectrum, and all the martial artists of the rivers and lakes rushed back to Humen Pass in advance to join in the fun, and they didn't have the heart to go to the demon forest to practice again.
At this moment, in the jungle next to the official road, a loud shout suddenly came out: "Stop!"
Tang Xian and the three of them were stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt the ground under their feet tremble without warning, and the stones under their feet also swayed.
Almost at the same time, two teams of iron horsemen rushed out of the jungle next to the official road, and the black war horses, all of them, turned into two stretches of black lines, and the dust was flying.
There were two teams of five horsemen, each of whom was dressed in black armor, with a jet-black halberd and a quiver hanging from his side, a huge bow with horns behind his back, and a broad-backed broadsword straddling his waist.
At the head of the group is a white-armored young general, with a group of white dragon horses under his crotch, with silver manes fluttering in the air, holding a pair of bowl-thick green dragon halberds, and a black bow and crossbow hanging from the side. Behind it is a bright red flag with a height of two meters, on which is written a magnificent word "Hong".
The 'stop' just now came from the mouth of this white-armored young general.
The two teams of iron horsemen, a total of eleven people, quickly rushed to Tang Xian and a few people, the white-armored young general reined in the horse, the dragon horse hooves off the ground, and burst out with a roar, the momentum was not inferior to the demon beasts in the demon forest.
Tang Xian took a step forward and said with a smile: "Dare to ask a few officials what they are doing?"
At this time, a pockmarked lieutenant general next to the white-armored junior stepped forward and said: "Recently, the sword spectrum of the Sword Sect came out in Humen Pass, in order to prevent the Jin Zhen clan spies from taking advantage of the chaos to enter, my Iron Halberd Army has stepped up patrols, and it is troublesome for the three to cooperate!"
"If you don't cooperate...... Adjutant General Mazi paused for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "I'm afraid it'll be like the two of them, and go back to the house with us to investigate!"
The two iron horsemen beside him stepped forward and opened their horses sideways, revealing the back of the horses behind, and saw that one person was tied to the back of the horses behind the two iron horsemen.
On the left horse is a young man, and the most eye-catching thing is the pair of small triangular eyes, with thief eyebrows and mouse eyes looking around.
Seeing this, Tang Xian couldn't help but nod secretly, and said in his heart: "This obscene appearance is simply writing the word spy on his face, no wonder he will be arrested and investigated." ”
The person on the right is a slightly chubby middle-aged man who looks like a businessman, this person seems to have been tied up for a long time, sweating profusely, snoring and panting, and very weak.
Obviously, these two people are people who 'do not cooperate with the investigation' in the mouth of Adjutant General Asazi.
