Chapter 13: The Last Resort (2)

The large forest is very large, with a radius of more than ten miles. The forest is overgrown, the fallen leaves are accumulated, and the towering ancient trees can be seen everywhere, and the dead branches and vines cover the sky and the earth. Even during the day, it is seldom visited, unless hordes of travelers or hunters come in to hunt.

At this time, the fifth watch has passed, and the sky is getting brighter. When the two of them walked into the jungle, they still couldn't see clearly. Mrs. Deng walked quickly and slowly in front of her, her footwork was light, and her skills were indeed not weak. At this moment, Ling Xingnan was far inferior to usual, looking at his faltering steps from afar, it was obvious that he was not strong enough. He hadn't gone far before he fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time......

"You...... What's wrong with you?" Mrs. Deng turned around and immediately held him up.

"I ...... I can't walk anymore, take a rest......" Ling Xingnan said with difficulty.

Only then did Mrs. Deng see clearly: Ling Xingnan's originally handsome face had no blood on it, and his forehead was sweating profusely, and his face was already full of sickness.

"Ah...... You've just been stabbed by that slut...... Yes...... You've managed to walk so far on your own......" Madame Deng looked shocked.

"Lin Zhen's sword is ...... Poisonous...... I...... It's okay to rest for a while, madam, you can go first...... Leave me alone...... Late...... I'm afraid they'll catch up......" Ling Xingnan said intermittently, it seemed that he was indeed injured a lot.

"How can this work! You got hurt like this because you saved me...... I can't leave you behind!" said Madame Tang.

"Hey, forget it...... Maybe none of us would want to leave......" Ling Xingnan stood up tremblingly and sighed.

"What......" Mrs. Deng exclaimed.

"Their people have arrived...... Ling Xingnan said.

Only then did Mrs. Deng realize the true meaning of what Ling Xing's man had just spoken.

At the beginning of the morning in the east, a faint cloud was reflected in the sky, and the sky was almost dawn. But the woods were so thick and shady that they were still pitch black, and they couldn't even see each other's faces unless they approached them.

"Senior brother, don't come here to be harmed, right?" came a man's loud voice in the woods.

When Mrs. Deng heard this, she was really shocked. Because she didn't even notice that someone was coming...... It seems that the martial arts of this person are not something she can imagine!

"Senior brother, I really didn't expect you to come in person! I wonder which other junior brother is also here?" Ling Xingnan looked into the depths of the woods and said.

"Third Senior Brother, it's me Huang Feiyong......" another voice came from the forest.

"It turned out to be the fifth junior ......"

Soon, two people appeared in the forest, standing ten feet away from Ling Xingnan and Mrs. Deng...... The light in the forest was too dim to see the figure of the person who came, but two blurred figures could be roughly seen.

It turned out that the two people who came here were Sima Yuntian, the first apprentice of Ling Xingye, the previous owner of Xingyun Villa, and Huang Feiyong, the fifth apprentice.

"Senior brother, this year's fugitive life has not been easy, right?" asked Sima Yuntian.

"Thank you Senior Brother for your concern, the days of fleeing are not easy, but it is better than the unjustified grievances of suffering...... Ling Xingnan choked up a little when he said this.

"Senior brother, I have come thousands of miles to this southern Yunnan border to find you, just to ask you two words...... Sima Yuntian said.

"Senior brother, please talk about ......," Ling Xingnan said.

"Is it true that the master was seriously injured in a martial arts contest with the Thunderbolt Evil Emperor, and is it really you who killed Uncle Xiong?" asked Sima Yuntian with a serious expression.

"Senior brother, if I say no...... Will you believe me?" Ling Xingnan asked rhetorically.

"I have watched you grow up since I was a child, how can I not believe it? What's more, the master and his old man have a great kindness to me...... I won't let his old man go like this!" Sima Yuntian said.

"Thank you, senior brother......" Ling Xingnan choked up.

"It's all because I and the fifth junior brother were not in Xingyun Villa at that time, and went to Zhongnan Mountain to hunt down the martial arts scum 'generation of obscene demons' Gu Baoliu...... And on the way, we heard the news of the misfortune of the master and uncle, and when we returned to the Nebula Villa, it was already ......too late," Sima Yuntian said again.

After listening to Sima Yuntian's words, two lines of hot tears rolled down Ling Xingnan's cheeks. Because he remembered his grandfather, whom he respected the most...... Grandpa's kind eyebrows and smiling face can only be seen in dreams in this life!

"Third Senior Brother, you go back with us, let's figure out the whole thing...... Now people up and down the Nebula Villa are looking for you, since you didn't do it, why did you run away from ......it," Huang Feiyong said.

"Senior brother, fifth junior brother, let's go! I won't go back with you now...... I'll find out about this matter myself. When the time comes, I'll go back to Nebula Villa. Ling Xingnan said.

"Senior brother, why are you doing this? Actually, we came to southern Yunnan to look for you this time, and it is also because we are entrusted by the second junior brother and the four elders, we must take you back......" Sima Yuntian said.

"I had already guessed that it was Wu Renjie who asked you to come...... Ling Xingnan said coldly.

"Actually, Senior Brother Ling, he also said a lot of good things for you in front of the elders, why did you say that ......about him, Senior Brother," Sima Yuntian was puzzled.

"He still says nice things for me? huh...... He's really been so good to me......" Ling Xingnan sneered.

"Third Senior Brother, Senior Brother and I only heard about it when we came back. When Uncle Xiong died that night, many people in Nebula Villa saw you: you were the only one next to Uncle Xiong's body, and you were still holding your hands covered in blood...... Your own saber ...... In that case, there is a lot of evidence...... Why don't we believe all this?" Huang Feiyong said.

"Yes, that's exactly what it is...... In that case, I couldn't argue with that! At that time, was there any other way for me to leave Nebula Villa?"

There was silence, and the forest was silent for a while.

Perhaps, it's they all thinking......

Silence, after all, is short-lived. Soon, people will still break it......

"Senior brother, escaping is not the solution to the problem! How long do you want to hide like this? Even if we don't take you back tonight, the rest of the Nebula Villa will never let you go......," Sima Yuntian said again.

"Senior brother, one day I will clear my grievances for myself! Grandpa's revenge, I will definitely take revenge...... Therefore, please forgive me for not being able to go back to Nebula Villa with you......" Ling Xingnan said.

"Senior brother, why are you so troubled? The four elders and the new owner have a life, aren't you embarrassing me and the fifth junior brother? Besides, we are working day and night to find you before anyone else, and we want to hear your ......explanation for ourselves."

"Senior brother, I have made it very clear just now, I didn't kill my uncle, and grandpa didn't die of his injuries...... Are you not believing me at all?"

"Senior brother, it's not that senior brother doesn't believe you...... It's just that all the evidence points to you! Even Senior Sister Xiong insisted that it was you who killed the uncle...... How do you make us believe you?"

When Ling Xingnan heard Sima Yuntian say the words "Senior Sister Xiong", his heart felt as if he had been cut by a knife......

He actually muttered as if he had lost his soul, "Senior Sister Xiong...... Xiong Shi ...... Sister, Xiong Yunmei, why are you doing this to me...... I'm sorry for you, you want to ...... me like this"

"Senior brother, come back with us...... If there is anything, we will explain it clearly in front of the four elders and the nine disciples. Senior Brother and I will definitely help you......" Huang Feiyong said urgently.

Ling Xingnan didn't answer him when he heard this. Just standing quietly, he fell into painful memories again.

"Senior brother, there is a sentence for my brother, I don't know if to ask or not?"

Ling Xingnan had already come back to his senses at this time and said, "What words?"

"Now it is rumored that your motive for killing Master Xiong is ......" Sima Yuntian's words were interrupted by Ling Xingnan before he finished speaking.

"Say that I married my junior sister to Wu Renjie because I hate Uncle Xiong, right?"

"Yes, you're ......"

"Not long after I left Nebula Villa, Wu Renjie became the new owner, right?"

"Yes, you're ......"

"Ha Lu Ha ......" Ling Xingnan's mournful laughter broke the darkness before dawn.

In the woods, it gradually became brighter. They could already see each other's faces...... And at that moment, Ling Xingnan actually shed two lines of tears after a sad laugh.

Mrs. Deng can see all this most clearly!

"Senior brother, fifth senior brother...... It's not that I don't want to go back with you, but if I go back, I'll die! Before my grandfather died, I promised him...... I won't go back to Nebula Villa until I have achieved great martial arts...... If I don't take revenge on my grandfather, I won't wash away my grievances, I vow not to return to Nebula Villa! Now, I'd rather be a traitor to Nebula Villa, and I can't ......die," Ling Xingnan said categorically.

Sima Yuntian knows the temper of his junior brother, and he has been so stubborn since he was a child...... No matter how much he tried to persuade him, he couldn't change his mind......!

At that moment, Ling Xingnan seemed to see through Sima Yuntian's thoughts.

"Senior brother, if you have to do it...... Please forgive my brother and sister, I will definitely fight to the death!"

When Ling Xingnan said this, his tone was already extremely cold, but Sima Yuntian was stunned.

"Third Senior Brother, why are you doing this, if I join forces with Senior Brother, you will definitely not be able to defeat us...... Now that you have been poisoned and injured again, I'm afraid that you may not be able to win even me!" Huang Feiyong said.

"Hmph, why don't you give it a try...... Ling Xingnan snorted coldly.

At this moment, Mrs. Deng, who had been on the side for a long time and had not said a word so far, smiled at this time and said: "Oh, it turns out that the two are the heroes of Nebula Villa...... I didn't expect the slave family to have the luck to be able to see the majesty of the three at the same time!"

"You...... Who is it? Don't want to mess around here......" Sima Yuntian said angrily.

"The slave family is just a suffering ......woman rescued by Ling Shaoxia when he saw something wrong," Mrs. Deng replied.

"Hurry up...... I'm sure my senior brother, they won't embarrass you......" Ling Xingnan said to Madam Deng.

Mrs. Deng didn't seem to listen to Ling Xingnan's words, instead she continued: "Both of you are heroes of Nebula Villa, and you and Ling Shaoxia have grown up together, you should all know him as a person. Although I have known him for a short time...... But Ling Shaoxia is kind-hearted and dares to act, which really makes the slave family admire...... In fact, he could have left alone, regardless of my life or death! But he didn't, and now he's seriously wounded...... You are the same family, so why do you have to force him hard?"

Mrs. Deng's words were reasonable, and she heard Sima Yuntian and Huang Feiyong's faces hot.

"It's not that we're persecuting him......! However, the four elders and the owner of the village have orders, how dare we go against each other?" Huang Feiyong said.

"It seems that Senior Brother, do you have to take me back?" Ling Xingnan said.

"Senior brother, don't blame senior brother...... As long as you are innocent, I will give up my life and seek justice for you. As the saying goes: those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid. You'd better come back to Nebula Villa with us first!" said Sima Yuntian.

Ling Xingnan shook his head and said resolutely: "It's impossible to go back! It seems that the battle between the three of us and the three brothers is fought today? Since you can't avoid it, you can let the horse come......"

"Senior brother, your temper hasn't changed at all...... It's just that I haven't seen you for a year, I don't know if your martial arts have improved?" Sima Yuntian said.

At this moment, the sky is much brighter again. In the woods, the air is fresh and pleasant, and the cold of the night is slowly subsiding...... However, the atmosphere in the woods was already tense.

This battle should be a vicious battle. One side will not hesitate to fight for his life in order to escape for his life, and the other side will do whatever it takes to capture him and return......

They are the best brothers, and they don't want to! But fate sometimes plays tricks on people!

Ling Xingnan was the first to take the knife...... He held the saber in his hand and slashed at Sima Yuntian and Huang Feiyong.

It's just that his knife is not a splitting of people, but a sword that breaks trees...... He tried to stop them from pursuing them by falling from a broken tree. At the same time as the tree broke, he only shouted at Mrs. Deng: "Let's go......"

He was originally injured, but at that moment he rushed faster than Madame Deng...... Perhaps, it was the potential in his body that was stimulated.

All life forms in the world are the same, and when facing life and death, the hidden energy will be instantly stimulated......

For people, it is naturally faster than usual to escape!

Ling Xingnan and Mrs. Deng ran desperately in the woods, but the two behind them were not left behind. Whenever they were closing the distance, Ling Xingnan would always slash one or two times, cutting down a few trees to temporarily block each other in an instant......

With this instant, they can run at least a foot or two away.

The four of them ran in the woods and jumped over the trees, and the situation was seen by ordinary people, and they must have been treated only as tanuki apes.

Ling Xingnan's light skills were not weak, otherwise he would not be able to help him if he could make the people of Xingyun Mountain Villa and the killers go through a year? And this Mrs. Deng's light skills were also quite clever, and they were not inferior.
