Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Battle of New Cloud City
The sounds of fighting, roaring, and moaning on the north street of Xinyun City came and went. The shops on both sides of the North Street are empty, and the prosperity of the past is gone, as if it was agreed, and there is no one for a while. How rampant it must be for bandits to control the streets of half the city. Xi Ninghu wondered why there were still no officers and soldiers involved at this time, could it be that the security teams she had planted in every town were all decorations and were ignored so much? She suffered multiple sword wounds, but compared to Dongfang Yue, his injuries were more serious, and she was hit by a sword in the lower abdomen and was bleeding. Shadow is in better condition and has not been injured so far, but he can only stalemate with the comer.
Xi Ning was anxious, but there was nothing she could do, she ran out this time because she was anxious to find someone, and she didn't bring many people, and her whereabouts along the way were also extremely secret, I really don't know where the person came from.
A person ran up from the second floor of the teahouse, this person was Qinglong, she came to the fox's side in a few steps and said: "The injured man in red downstairs is the person that the sect master fancies, you can't hurt him!" ”
"The Qinglong envoy misunderstood, you also saw it, it wasn't me who hurt him, it was he who didn't want to protect the woman who wanted me to kill him." The fox played with the purple clay pot in his hand, his red lips opened lightly, and he said disdainfully.
Qinglong's teeth itched with hatred, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it. The only person Ling Zong wants to kill is death, and anyone who stands in his way will be killed.
"Then you can't ...... either" Qinglong was still struggling.
"Hey, who is he?" The fox slapped his palm on the table, and his willow eyebrows frowned slightly.
And at this moment, a man in white fell from the sky and joined the battle. This person was masked with a white veil, and Xi Ning didn't recognize who he was, but he appeared at the most dangerous time to save himself. At that time, Dongfang Yue was suffering from the enemy on his back and was fighting to the death, and Xi Ning quickly turned around to save him. The most taboo thing about playing with a master is distraction. Xi Ning made a big taboo. The two swords stabbed from two directions at the same time, the speed was so fast that the shadow didn't have time to save him, and even then he was struggling to shake off the three people who were fighting with him, trying to save people. Dongfang Yue watched Xi Ning in danger and couldn't save him.
"Ahh With a loud shout, the man in black who attacked Xi Ning was instantly killed by the hidden weapon, and the next second. The man in white appeared. Turn the tide. His swordsmanship is extremely high, and the so-called sword goes sideways, matching his strange steps. In a short time, three people were killed.
Xi Ning smiled at him gratefully and threw himself into battle again. Her light skills are excellent, her knife skills are weak, and she is better than her body sensitivity. The deterrent power of the crescent moon slash at night is gone, but it is also extremely sharp. Sharpen iron like clay.
It's no wonder that the fox is so angry.
"Qinglong, let Qingying dispatch all the personnel of the second group and kill him!" The furry fox roared angrily, and the red lips should have been delicate. At this time, it was a big mouthful of blood, as if he was about to eat the man in white. Qinglong retreated silently, he knew too well how crazy the fox was at this time. There were few people in the entire Ling Sect who could find out his temperament, and he would get angry when he was not satisfied. The rage will consume everyone around them, and if it is an enemy, it can burn the entire family.
How strong the combat effectiveness of all the two groups is, Qinglong knows that it is a team that can destroy the 10,000-person corps, except for the ten people who have just been dispatched, the remaining twenty people are scattered in the city and are on standby. With all the spare strength brought out this time, Ling Zong spent a lot of money to cultivate these people, and if the damage was serious, it would not only be him who was furious, but also the entire elder group.
As soon as the signal was issued, twenty black-clothed people poured in from all directions, with different weapons in their hands, swords, scimitars, bows, crossbows, flying knives, etc., all flying towards Xi Ning and the others. At this critical juncture, a picture appeared in front of Xi Ning's eyes, a small bridge with mountains and flowing water, which made her think of the word "flowing water", all in one go. In her meditative state, the man in white surrounded her in the middle with strange steps, blocking all attacks.
No matter how strong a person's skills are, it is difficult to defeat the dozens of people who are at the master level to besiege him, and for a while, the man in white was also sweating anxiously, and his white coat was stained red with blood.
"Ning Ning" Dongfang Yue shouted loudly, I don't know what happened to her, I thought she was injured. There are five people around him besieging him, and the light skill of the shadow to the extreme is protecting him from being injured by the hidden weapon, although he is also concerned about Xi Ning's side, but he has an order in advance, no matter what, he must protect Dongfang Yue from being harmed.
The clouds drifted to cover the sun, and the originally clear sky began to blow the wind at this time, and the smell of blood in the wind was extremely strong, which woke up Xi Ning, and she began to move. The pace under her feet was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and she was as agile as a snake, and there was no trace of it.
Her knife skills are natural, sometimes fierce as a dragon crossing the river, and sometimes the small bridge is delicate and long. Seeing that the situation was not good, the black-clothed man besieging her immediately changed his strategy and began to attack Dongfang Yue behind her.
The man in white shouted, "You take them away, and I'll come to the back." ”
Xi Ning heard the prestige and looked at the shadow and Dongfang Yue who were still struggling, both of them were scarred, and then saw that the man in white was covered in blood, I don't know what the injury was, in this case, I really can't fight hard. She nodded to the man in white, and quickly pulled Dongfang Yuefei onto the roof, and the shadow saw this and followed, repelling the man in black who was chasing them.
The man in white saw Xi Ning and the others slowly moving away, and then struck hard with a palm, and flew away in an instant.
The fox stomped on the edge of the window on the second floor, and one of them spun up to the roof and disappeared, followed by dozens of others.
The sound of the wind passing quickly in his ears stimulated Xi Ning's dignity, and it was the first time in his life to escape in embarrassment. The man on his side was short of breath, obviously seriously injured and barely persevered, the shadow kept up while fighting, and there were five black-clothed people who caught up first, and it was impossible to annihilate them all, so he could only fight and retreat.
They went out of the city and ran into a primeval forest, and when they jumped at high speed between the trees, Dongfang Yue's legs fell straight to the ground, and Xi Ning dodged and picked him up and ran through the forest. Holding a person to escape, obviously not fast enough, the shadow quickly caught up, the three of them worked together, with the hidden experience in the jungle of Xi Ning, they got rid of the man in black who was pursuing.
The man in white stood high on the top of the tree and watched Xi Ning and them flee into a cave, the corners of his mouth under the white face towel were slightly hooked, and he flew down to the black-clothed man who was rolling out the carpet to search, with a wave of his right hand, a green jade flute appeared in his hand, slowly lifting the white face towel, a requiem lingered in the forest, hitting the souls of dozens of people, everyone quieted down in an instant, kept the last movement, his eyes were blank, his pupils were dilated, and he was stunned in place.
Requiem whispered sadly, and then the furry fox and the others who came over instantly closed their ears and watched their companions spit blood and die violently. The two envoys, Qinglong and Qingying, glanced at each other, and they all sighed tacitly, this time the two groups suffered heavy losses, and the elder group should talk about the sect master again.
The fox jumped straight to his feet, but he couldn't find the direction of the person who played the song, and this sense of powerlessness caused him to punch a thick Tsubaki tree. Now his situation is: retreat, unable to retreat; Seek, can't find.
Seeing that the casualties were almost the same, the man in white gradually withdrew the internal force input into the jade flute, quickly put away the jade flute, and disappeared without a trace.
Dongfang Yue's injuries were very serious, and he began to have a fever at night, and all the wound medicine carried by the shadow was used, but it still did not improve, and Xi Ning was worried all night. The shadow went out to find water, and Xi Ning tore off a piece of his shirt and wet it to cool Dongfang Yue.
"Ei, did you meet the man who saved us when you came back?" It was the second half of the night after Xi Ning was busy, and he said to the shadow who was sitting at the entrance of the cave to guard against a sneak attack.
"Back to the master, I haven't met it." The shadow said respectfully.
The coldness of the dark cave was even more obvious, Xi Ning kept holding Dongfang Yue, his eyes were fixed on the entrance of the cave, thinking about who was the man in white who saved him in the afternoon, and why did he desperately save himself?
In the early morning of the next day, Dongfang Yue's fever subsided, and the person was awake, but his body was still very weak, and Xi Ning ordered another day of rest and departure.
"I can, Ning Ning, let's leave quickly! I'm afraid of ...... if someone comes after me.'
Xi Ning interrupted Dongfang Yue's words, and then said: "I won't chase after you, don't worry!" If I were them, I would wait in the next city so I wouldn't risk going into the jungle. ”
"This ...... In case ...... Dongfang Yue's courage when he led the 200,000 army to defeat the Xiliang army could not be used at all here in Xi Ning, he always felt that she was right, so he could only compromise.
The shadow comes back from hunting, skillfully skinning and making a fire.
"Shadow, follow me out and make you suffer." Xi Ning sighed with emotion, this man was actually about nineteen years old, and he followed her from birth to death several times, and every time he didn't lick blood from the knife, but he didn't complain. She is a modern person, she should not say anything, at least thank you must be there.
"The subordinates don't feel bitter, this is what the subordinates should do." The shadow was stunned for a moment, and finally spoke.
"You guard Xiaoyue, I'll go out and have a look." Xi Ning saw the shadow's dodging eyes and knew that he was shy.
"Ning Ning, let the shadow follow you......" Before Dongfang Yue's words were finished, Xi Ning had already flown away.
Out of the cave, Xi Ning chose a path and walked forward. Subconsciously turned the corner, walked and walked to a small stream, the current is very fast, and there are some unknown flowers blooming on the banks on both sides, which is very beautiful. She stopped and went, thinking about her past and present lives. I don't know if it was fate or accident to come here, but it was an extraordinary journey.
Before I knew it, I came to a small waterfall, which was three or four meters high, and there was a person lying in a small pool. Xi Ning took a closer look and turned out to be a man in white covered in blood, who was the man who saved them yesterday. She leaped forward and swam quickly towards him.
Pulling the person to the shore, Xi Ning hurriedly flattened him, looked at his thin figure under his wet white clothes, and slowly pulled down the veil.
"Wei Linyou?" (To be continued)
