Chapter 9: The Chase
The backyard was empty and pitch black.
Walking on the road without hearing your own footsteps is undoubtedly the most terrifying.
Tang Yun's heart was very calm, and in the darkness, people's hearing would be magnified countless times. The slightest sound will be heard clearly.
But now, that hearing has been taken away.
If you want to see your surroundings, you can only see through a pair of eyes.
Tang Yun kept walking, and with the help of the moonlight, he suddenly noticed a gap on one side of the painting wall.
A place as big as Yuanfu is very exquisite. A painting wall like this represents the faΓ§ade of a house, and there will never be such a gap.
The gap should have been smashed by Jing Liang, and since he suffered a loss at the hands of the monster, Jing Liang has had an almost fanatical pursuit of weapons.
He stuck a total of three knives in his back, two long and one short. The original chain scythe on his body was still entangled, but with some modifications, once thrown, the scythe could smash such a gap in the wall like a hammer.
The gap pointed to the east, and it seemed that they were leaving in the east.
To the east, sure enough, some piles of firewood were trampled on.
The firewood scattered on the ground rolled back and forth, and finally stopped in front of Tang Yun.
β¦β¦
Frost is running wild.
In the empty streets, a shadow flashed from time to time.
The old river demon by the river once told her not to easily reveal her identity as a monster in front of people.
At that time, Shuang'er didn't know why, and asked the old river demon, don't we have a lot of skills, why are we still afraid of humans?
The old river demon said earnestly, you never know how terrifying people are.
They're probably the scariest thing in the world.
God, don't be afraid.
Ghosts, don't be afraid.
But people can't figure it out.
Shuang'er was originally absolutely old river demon just talking nonsense, wanting to scare herself.
But she found that she was still wrong.
The person behind him can indeed kill himself.
She can control her voice and kill a person silently. But when it comes to going head-to-head with a person, Frost is far from being an opponent.
Call!
A loud whistling sound sounded, and Frost subconsciously jumped to the side to dodge.
But as if the person behind her knew where she was going to dodge, the knife in her hand stabbed into Frost's wrist with unmistakable accuracy.
Poof, the knife stabbed directly into Shuang'er's wrist, and he couldn't pull it out.
Frost endured the pain, she ran faster, and only picked the kind of places with high walls.
I don't see how much strength she uses, and she will jump up dexterously when her toes touch the ground. No matter how high she was, she landed on the ground like a feather falling to the ground, without the slightest sound.
She had already climbed three high walls, all of which were the walls of some mansions, specially designed to prevent thieves.
She was sure that no one would be able to catch up with her.
Thinking of this, Shuang'er planned to quickly pull out the knife on her wrist.
That knife is very cleverly designed. Once stabbed into the hand, the barbs on the blade are deeply rooted in the flesh.
If you want to pull it out, you will inevitably bring out that piece of flesh and blood.
Shuang'er endured the severe pain and pulled out the knife with a trembling hand, and the whole person was almost powerless because of the intense pain.
Monsters turn into human forms in order to become fairies.
She has become a human, although she still has the ability to be a demon, but her body is flesh after all.
"Sure enough, it's a cat, it's really easy for Lao Tzu to find!" A rough voice came from behind him.
Frost looked back in shock, but a long knife slashed behind her!
Call!
Shuang'er hurriedly hid to the side, the man's expression was very indifferent, and when he saw that the blow missed, he then brandished his knife and rushed over again.
Shuang'er shouted: "You have been taken into an inch!" β
Jing Liang sneered, holding a long knife in his right hand, but his left hand was replaced by a short knife.
The two knives, one long and one short, switched back and forth, and Jing Liang turned into a gust of wind and swept towards the frost.
Shuang'er was far from Jing Liang's opponent.
She was forced to retreat again and again, and the two knives were about to stab Frost's body.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of anxious footsteps in the distance.
"Where did the thief come from, even Shangshu Mansion dared to break in!" A loud shout rang out.
It turned out that most of the houses near the house where Yuan Hyuk lived were mansions where high-ranking officials lived. These wealthy families generally have many nursing homes and patrol back and forth at night.
The sound of a man and a demon rushing in had already drawn the guards over.
They raised their torches, and an area was lit up.
The first thing they saw was frost.
Shuang'er looked pitiful, which immediately left the first impression on these people.
"Neighbors help, this man wants to arrest the slave family, and the slave family has to climb over the wall to get in." Frost said in a miserable tone.
Her voice, when it met that face, immediately moved all the nursing homes present.
When they looked at Jing Liang's expressions, they also became very unfriendly.
Jing Liang immediately understood what this cat demon was planning.
He shouted: "Get out of the way of Lao Tzu, and the Demon Hunting Division will investigate the case!" β
The nurse leaned in and shouted: "What is it, come to our Shangshu Mansion to spread wild!" Knock him out! β
"Looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like a good person. Tie him up and go to Jinwuwei! β
The nurses immediately picked up their sticks and beckoned at Jing Liang.
Jing Liang was furious when he heard this, and at this time, he happened to see that Shuang'er was leaving, and shouted: "Get out!" β
He pushed with both hands, and several strong men were directly pushed to the ground by him.
Jing Liang was born as a captain of a hundred cavalry, although these nurses know some kung fu, but they can deal with ordinary thieves, and they are really not enough in front of Jing Liang.
They were pushed to the ground, and Jing Liang strode after Shuang'er.
"What's the matter?" An old voice sounded, and out of it came an old man on crutches.
This person is Yuan Ya, the heavenly official Shangshu, who only knows Tang Yun, but does not know Jing Liang. This is not to blame him, after all, Jing Liang has never been to the court, and he naturally will not recognize it.
As soon as Yuan Ya saw Jing Liang knocking down his own courtyard, he asked calmly: "Young man, who are you looking for?" β
Jing Liang recognized Yuan Ya, hugged his fists and said, "Old Shangshu, the lower official is rude." Below is the demon hunting division Shaoqing Jing Liang, a monster ran in just now, and he was in a hurry, so he inadvertently broke into here. β
After saying that, Jing Liang took out his waist card, Yuan Ya glanced at it, nodded and said, "It turned out to be Jing Shaoqing, you have to be busy so late, it's really hard for you." β
The guards listened to the side, and when they heard that this person was indeed the Demon Hunter, they immediately became confused.
In the capital, who doesn't know the prestige of the monster?
"Where's the woman just now?" Someone shouted.
Everyone hurriedly searched for it, but Shuang'er had long since disappeared.
