Chapter 167: Wake Up
Even the moon had been hiding in the clouds for a long time, and there really wasn't any light at all, except for a fire that had been lit around them to light up the night.
This is the third day of their departure, and this is just a short distance from the boundary of Nanzhao City, because they have not been able to feel that in the next city, they can only sleep in the wilderness, after all, there will be more such days in the future, at least, before this matter is completely over, sleeping in the wilderness like this is also a common thing.
There are still a lot of martial arts people standing on the side, either holding swords in their hands, or pressing whips, or holding big hammers, in short, the weapons are also varied.
But even so, these people didn't even have the intention of making a move, they just stood aside and watched quietly, and everywhere they saw were dozens of black-clothed people, who had already been killed by Tang Qianling alone.
After the rest of the black-clothed people saw that there were already so many people gathered around them, they also knew that it would be impossible to succeed tonight, so they exchanged glances, and while sacrificing a few people, the rest of the people also quickly disappeared into the night.
In an instant, the figure disappeared.
"Qianling, there's no need to chase it." Pei Huai saw that Tang Qianling still wanted to catch up, so he immediately spoke.
At this moment, Tang Qianling stopped, put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard, and quietly walked behind Pei Huai, without saying a word, just quietly guarding.
And the eyes of everyone on the side who looked at Tang Qianling changed, even the eyes of the martial arts alliance leader flickered slightly, and his face looked very ugly.
Who would have thought that this group of assassins would be driven away by Tang Qianling one by one before they got close.
This kind of ability also made everyone present ask themselves, if it was them who were facing Tang Qianling tonight, would they be able to fight?
Even if you can't beat it, can you escape? Or can it only be like this to die under Tang Qianling's sword?
The apprentice of the palace master of the Mirror Lake Palace is indeed an existence that should not be underestimated. It is said that this person is only his little apprentice, so how good should that big apprentice, now the head of Jinghu Palace, be outstanding in martial arts?
Famous teachers produce high apprentices, and if a person can have such an outstanding apprentice, what kind of demeanor should it be?
At this moment, everyone can be regarded as having a clearer understanding, and it is no wonder that for so many years, people who want to trouble Jinghu Palace have gone and never returned.
Even those who have some prestige in the rivers and lakes, are recognized masters, and want to kill the palace master of Jinghu Palace, they must be careful, look for suitable opportunities, and will definitely not rush forward to assassinate.
The piles and piles of things have already shown one point, that is, Pei Huai is very powerful, so powerful that everyone can be afraid of him.
But in the same way, if there is a chance, I believe that those who have been afraid of him will also attack him en masse!
In fact, standing in Pei Huai's position, it is the embodiment of two extremes, either it is so strong that no one can shake it, or it is attacked by a group and dies.
Other than that, it really doesn't seem like there's a third way to go.
"I'm really sorry to disturb you so late." Xu Xi looked at the people around him who were just watching the show and selling good things, and said bluntly and lightly, if you want to apologize, it is really nothing, anyway, they are just a group of selfish guys.
You know, now they are a group of people, since they are all in the same way, they should be pulling out their swords to help, right? Otherwise, the so-called righteous people are not as good as other people's demons.
Isn't this so-called morality, a knife in both ribs or something, all these people talk about it all day long?
Why is this really at a critical time, just looking at it like this, and not knowing how to step forward to help Tang Qianling?
If it weren't for the fact that with Tang Qianling's ability, it was more than enough to deal with these people, Xu Xi really wanted to kick these people away.
If you don't help, even if you watch the excitement, it won't work.
"It's okay, it's okay." Everyone seemed to hear Xu Xi's words, and knew that they hadn't helped just now, but they were a little embarrassed, so they all smiled awkwardly, and after a perfunctory sentence, they dispersed one by one.
What kind of righteous people do you say, tsk...... "I really don't dare to compliment!" Sure enough, people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, and people don't selfish and vain young people!
Sure enough, the TV series or something is the kind that cheats the dead and doesn't pay for their lives, what kind of road is uneven and roars, in Xu Xi's opinion, these people don't shout "It has nothing to do with me" is already a manifestation of benevolence and righteousness.
For some people, maybe they will really shout like this.
"Don't worry, the people of Mirror Lake Palace are all around here, if Qianling can't cope with it just now, they will naturally appear." Pei Huai said to Xu Xi, then he took her hand, and also walked to the side and sat down, just enough to bake the fire, but there was no sleepiness yet.
If Tang Qianling didn't work just now, not to mention that the people from the surrounding Mirror Lake Palace would appear, they themselves wouldn't sit idly by like that, okay?
It's just that Xu Xi wanted to do it just now, but he was stopped by Pei Huai, because in Pei Huai's opinion, Tang Qianling could do it.
Since he can handle it, it can be regarded as adding a little more experience in fighting for him, so it's a bit of a hindrance for other people to play, isn't it?
But fortunately, Tang Qianling lived up to expectations and really relied on his own strength to block the assassin who came to assassinate this time.
"This is the third batch of Assassins." Xu Xi looked at the fire burning in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh and said.
From last night to tonight, there have been three groups of men in black who have come to seize the treasure key.
I have to say that these people are really a bit endless.
It's like a fart, as if someone will pop up wherever you go.
"Not the same people." Pei Huai said affirmatively.
Although they are all dressed in black and masked, and their knife skills seem to be similar, these people are definitely not the same batch.
I already knew that they would definitely be targeted by a lot of people, but I didn't expect it to appear so quickly.
This point is really a bit unexpected, and Tang Qianling's excellence shocked the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance.
In this way, it seems that his plan to take advantage of the chaos to obtain the key seems to be a little difficult.
Could it really be like this, and you can't drink some soup in the back?
I have to say that this martial arts alliance leader seems to be thinking a little too good, maybe he can't even drink the soup?
You know, this time, it can be said that all the people are dispatched, the number of personnel, the strength of the organization, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's really unimaginable.
It can be said that when the time comes, in that far north, there will be a gathering of heroes, and it will be a spectacular scene.
"And that's just the beginning." Xu Xi picked up the wooden stick on the side, stirred the fire in front of him, and said softly, "Come to think of it, there must be a lot of assassinations to face along the way." ”
"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth." Pei Huai wasn't worried about any accidents at all, and the people in Jinghu Palace were not vegetarians, especially since they themselves were not vegetarians, and it was not easy to really hurt them.
At the very least, the three groups of people who appeared now have all returned in vain, and they are still sitting here unscathed. This is enough to prove Pei Huai's self-confidence.
Xu Xi didn't actually worry too much, but he was just a little bored.
Isn't it irritating that these people have been going on and on since then?
This night, Xu Xi didn't go to bed until very late, leaning on Pei Huai's shoulder and falling asleep, but the next morning, she still opened her eyes on time, and the cold light in her eyes was fleeting.
I didn't have the hazy sleepiness that I woke up in the morning. This is all thanks to the killer training in the previous life, otherwise, how can you be so vigilant? Say wake up and wake up? Can you still be so sober?
In fact, it doesn't matter that they were assassinated here, Gu Chaoci, who left Nanzhao City before them and went to the extreme north, was also besieged by the men in black.
But the good thing is that every time it passed safely.
Probably because of Gu Chaoci's relationship with Xu Xi, some people are afraid that the key is not on Xu Xi's body, but on Gu Chaoci's body, which will lead to such an assassination.
After all, the stakes are high, and it's better to kill by mistake than to let go, right?
Although Wei Shuo is the general of Beiyan, and the army he carries is the famous Qingyun Army, but birds die for food, people die for money, and there are really many people who are not afraid of death.
"What the hell is going on with these people? Even came to assassinate us, is it impossible for such a pure army to be invisible? Gu Chaoci, who had just repelled a wave of black-clothed people, couldn't help but complain.
"These people should think that the key to the treasure is on us." Wei Shuo opened his mouth and said, let people search the bodies of these dead men in black to see if there are any status symbols.
"We're all like this, so Xu Xi's side must be even more difficult." Gu Chaoci said a little worriedly.
"Don't worry, the people of Jinghu Palace are around Shizun and them, and they will be fine." Nie Chenghui said.
Although this is the case, I will still worry about the same thing that should be worried, but I won't say anything more, and I silently hope that the other party is okay in my heart.
"Woke up?" When Xu Xi opened his eyes, Pei Huai, who had originally closed his eyes, also opened his eyes at this moment and asked softly.
"Hmm." Xu Xi nodded slightly and responded.
The rest of the people also woke up one after another, ate some dry food, and cleaned up, and everyone finally started to hurry again.
Try to get to the far north as soon as possible.
