Li Mengzhou gasped slightly, revealing from the cat's face mask, which was quite heavy, like the roar of a beast.

The rain poured down, washing away the blood stains on the cat's face mask, and the smell of blood spread outward with the wind and rain.

And Gu Shiyan silently looked at Zhu Zaitian's corpse, although she had killed many people, but this bloody scene still made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she immediately flew out of the courtyard and went straight to the hidden breath in the alley.

The figure hiding in the alley outside the courtyard gate, there was a hint of abuse in his eyes, and at the same time, it was also mixed with some inexplicable horror, because under the gaze of his fugue mind, the picture of Zhu Zaitian being split in half with a knife was very visually impactful.

Especially the murderer was the young man wearing a cat-face mask, which made him feel a little incredible, just in this moment of shock, he did not hide his breath in time like the previous few times and ran away, and when he found Gu Shiyan's figure in the field of vision, he ran away in a little panic.

Gu Shiyan stood at the entrance of the alley, although she was surprised, but the speed at which the peeper escaped was also amazing, there was already a short distance between the two, and it was only a matter of moments when Gu Shiyan was found from the other party and then fled.

Li Mengzhou also chased to the entrance of the alley with a Pu knife, looking at the figure that disappeared from view, his brows furrowed deeply.

Although he only glimpsed it from a distance, and soon the figure disappeared without a trace, inexplicably, he had a very familiar feeling.

There was no doubt that it was someone he knew.

Who the hell is it?

Besides Zhu Zaitian, who else could there be?

Li Mengzhou thought about it, and anyone who was suspicious went through it in his mind, but he never found anyone who was suspicious of being higher than Zhu Zaitian.

"Now that someone has witnessed everything in the alleyway, if we can't find that person, then we are not causing trouble for Xu Hexian, but trying to find a way to avoid trouble. ”

Killing Zhu Zaitian was because he suspected that he might be the one who was peeping outside Chaosi Lane, and at the same time, it was also considered to be causing some trouble to Xu Hexian, but now it has been completely proved that Li Mengzhou is looking for the wrong person, and it is no longer asking Xu Hexian for trouble, and soon Xu Hexian will come to trouble them.

Li Mengzhou let out a long breath of turbidity and said calmly: "Although I can't be sure of the identity of the person who peeps, but that back is very familiar, I probably have a little guess in my heart, I just need to determine the identity of the other party as soon as possible, and kill him before he spreads the news of what happened in the alley." ”

Because he suspected Zhu Zaitian, he raised a knife to kill Zhu Zaitian.

And now, there is a new suspect, and although the situation may be a little troublesome, he is obviously ready to do it desperately.

There was dead silence in the alleyway.

The smell of blood that accompanied the wind and rain did not spread far away, and there were signs of gradually being washed away by the rain.

It's really easy to do something on a rainy day, because any trace that is missed will be washed away by the rain.

In the silence of the capital, in the middle of the night, there is occasionally a flash of lightning across the night, and the sound of raindrops falling is continuous, although noisy, but also quiet.

......

Far away from the capital, outside a certain mountain inn, on the dark night and wet road, a figure wearing a hat gradually became clear.

Naturally, this mountain inn was not full of guests, and there were only a few guests sitting in the lobby, and there were two figures in the corner who looked a little cautious and flustered, an adult and a child.

The closed door of the inn was pushed open.

A cool breeze with raindrops blew in, and soon the area behind the door was wet with rain.

The guests in the lobby all subconsciously turned their eyes to the man wearing a hat at the door.

Xiao Er stepped forward, and soon, he led the man with the hat to sit in the middle position.

The man with the hat was wearing a green shirt, and when he took the hat, he showed the appearance of a white-faced scholar, holding a sword in his hand, which was Ouyang Shengxue who came from Liang County, Nanjun towards the capital.

He silently poured himself a cup of tea, and while waiting for the food to be served, he also looked at the guests next to him casually.

Two men who appeared to be in their thirties sat opposite each other.

There was an old man drinking alone.

There is also a pair of people in the corner who seem to be mother and son, surrounding themselves very tightly, as if they are quite unsightly.

But the clothes on their bodies are not like ordinary people, but like they come from rich and noble families.

It is worth mentioning that the two men sitting opposite each other are right in front of the mother and son sitting in the corner, giving people the feeling that they are protecting them.

Moreover, Ouyang Shengxue could also sense some extraordinary aura from those two people, even if he was not a cultivator, he should be a master among the martial artists in the rivers and lakes.

On either side of the table in front of them, a long knife lay horizontally, and the palm of the right hand was placed in the position where it was easiest to draw the knife.

The stories that happen in the secular rivers and lakes are as wonderful as the cultivation world, or even more complicated, and there are many things involved.

Ouyang Shengxue silently observed these guests, and had a faint premonition in her heart that something interesting would inevitably happen in this inn.

The old man who drank alone seemed to be just an ordinary person, but that divine gaze was not something that ordinary old people could have.

And the two men and the old man were also looking at Ouyang Shengxue as if they were nothing.

Holding a sword in his hand means that he is also a person in the rivers and lakes, and he may even be a cultivator, and it is impossible for them to not care at all.

The two men were a little nervous, and subconsciously glanced at the mother and son sitting in the corner.

The old man who was drinking alone didn't react, he just coughed lightly, his eyes were a little confused, he stretched out his hand to beckon Xiao Er, and said, "Old man, I can't drink enough, and I have to trouble the little brother to help me back to the room." ”

Xiao Er naturally agreed, and stepped forward to help the old man.

Although the two men lowered their heads, their bodies were visibly stiff for a moment, and the old man left his seat and went back to the room, just as he happened to pass by the two men.

They also watched the old man's staggering footsteps, and his right hand imperceptibly touched the hilt of the knife.

Xiao Er supported the old man, secretly struggling, thinking that he was just an ordinary old man, why was his body so heavy?

He looked at the old man beside him, very confused.

Because the old man obviously looks thin, but his weight is quite weighty, which is really a strange thing.

And at some point, he suddenly felt that his hands were light, and he subconsciously grabbed a handful, and he had already lost the arm of the old man he was supporting.

There was a loud noise, and it suddenly exploded in the quiet inn, and the two men who were always on guard only felt a terrifying aura coming, and their backs were wet in an instant, and they quickly pulled out the long knife that was placed on the table, and slashed directly forward.

However, they soon found that there was no sign of the old man in front of them.

Their hearts were awe-struck, and they hurriedly turned around to look at the mother and son in the corner, and exclaimed: "Danger!"

"What are you yelling about?"

The old man, who had obviously disappeared, appeared behind the two men, and the sound that seemed to explode in his ears made the two men who had just turned around stiffen.

They turned their necks with difficulty, glanced at each other, and shouted at the mother and son, "Run!" at the same time, they turned sharply and threw the long knife out of their hands.

However, their movements were stopped halfway through.

The blades of the two long knives were tightly held between the old man's fingers, and he spat out a mouthful of wine slightly, and chuckled: "You are simply too weak, the old man is really not interested in playing with you, and you should also know very well how many people you died during the protection of the mother and son, but only the two of you remained, it was just good luck, and now, your luck has run out." ”

With a slight force on his hands, he heard a clatter, and the two long knives broke in response, and the broken blades pierced directly through the throats of the two men with a swift momentum, and blood sprayed out, staining the old man's hands.

With unwillingness, the two men slowly fell to their knees and gradually lost their voices.

Xiao Er, who was standing in place stupidly, came back to his senses at this time, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and the old man frowned slightly, his feet shook, and the broken blade with a knife handle on the floor flew up directly, and instantly swept towards Xiao Er, who screamed in shock.

The blade that broke from it was unusually sharp, wrapped in a sharp cracking sound, and it was close in the blink of an eye.

And at the moment when Xiao Er was about to die.

The broken blade that swept through the air very abruptly stopped two inches in front of Xiao Er's eyes.

It was a stagnation without warning, failing to move forward even further.

The sweat on Xiao Er's forehead was as fine as beads, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his feet were trembling, and his face was pale and bloodless.

The broken blade of the long knife was just a stone's throw away from Xiao Er, as if one foot had stepped through the ghost gate.

There was a deathly silence in the inn.

Only the sound of rain falling from the outside world remained, but in the hearts of these people in the inn, there was a dead silence that could be heard by falling pins.

The old man's gaze crossed the little two and looked at the man in green shirt sitting next to him.

Ouyang Shengxue's gaze was also fixed on the old man, but his left hand was towards the little er, to be precise, the palm of his hand against the broken blade that was stagnant in mid-air.

When they looked at each other, a touch of gloom appeared in the old man's eyes.

He patted his shirt for a long time, bowed slightly, smiled, and said: "When you first entered this inn, I thought it might be an accident, but in fact, what happened here has nothing to do with you, I thought you would be very smart enough to know how to choose, but it seems that you did make a choice." ”

The old man killed the two men in an instant, and the means he showed also had the intention of warning Ouyang Shengxue.

Because in his mind, even if the other party wants to be nosy, he must weigh whether he has the ability to do so.

But Ouyang Shengxue's actions also expressed two meanings.

First, he was not frightened by the old man's methods, but simply wanted to make a righteous move.

The second is that even if he understands the strength of the old man, he is still full of confidence.

No matter which one it was, Ouyang Shengxue undoubtedly expressed disdain for the old man.

That's a kind of confidence.

It's also a source of pride.

Pride from Sword Cultivation.
