Chapter Seventy-Three: Catch Them All Fourth
81_81671 "No surprises," Lei Xi shook her head, "We didn't feel anything unusual. But we also didn't feel the aura of the evil spirit master of the scissor-like martial spirit. ”
"We've been paying attention to the guests and guys in the building," Ye Hengyuan added, "and we didn't find any extra people." Now Captain Shi, they're searching inside. ”
"That's strange," Li Wenxin frowned, "Could it be that Xie Bao and the rest of the people didn't enter the city? Only the five of them entered the city?
"It should be unlikely," Lei Xi said, "General Bai said that the spirit master team directly under the Ministry of Security will also assist in the search of the city, especially the area around the city wall. I just felt the breath of a spirit army. They should have gone in the direction of Dongcheng District, and they probably found something. ”
Ye Hengyuan glanced at the glamorous senior sister beside him with admiration. But as soon as his eyes fell on Lei Xi's neck, he had to turn his head back again. Li Wenxin noticed his small movement, and the corners of his mouth were crooked, as if he was laughing at him.
"Sister Lei Xi...... You...... Isn't it cold......" Ye Hengyuan squeezed this sentence out of his teeth in a very embarrassed tone.
"Oh, oh!" Lei Xi smiled and opened his right hand. A cocoon-shaped ball of purple-red spiritual power appeared in her hand, slowly growing larger, becoming as big as a mass of watermelon. She put her left hand inside, took out a robe from it, draped it over her body, and put it on. After a few seconds, the cocoon-like orb of spiritual power grew smaller again and retracted into the palm of her right hand.
"You'll soon be able to master space compression, Xiaoyuan," Li Wenxin said, "and after mastering this, it will be much easier to get things." ”
"Hmm. Ye Hengyuan nodded, then turned his head and glanced further south. A golden and an ice-blue dot of light was rapidly flying in their direction. A few fainter points of light followed them.
"Meng Yi and Leng Han are here?" Li Wenxin raised his head, "Is there something wrong with them?"
"Probably not. Lei Xi shook her head.
Just as the two of them were talking, Xue Mengyi and Leng Han had already landed at the entrance of the back alley. Several vigilantes who followed behind also landed.
"Little Meng!Mengyi!Are you all right?"
Ye Hengyuan spread his legs and ran to the back alley in a few steps. Lei Xi glanced at his back and smiled faintly.
"Whew-" Xue Mengyi exhaled softly, stretched out her little hand and pulled Ye Hengyuan's sleeve, "It's okay, Brother Hengyuan." The enemy set us in ambush at the rouge shop and wanted to set us on fire. Everything inside was destroyed by the fire. ”
"What? They set the fire?" Ye Hengyuan anxiously stretched out his hand and grabbed Xue Mengyi's wrist, "What's the matter? Are you hurt? Are the others hurt? How are the injuries? Is it serious?"
Leng Han and the few security guards who followed behind silently twisted their faces in other directions.
"Ahh......h If it weren't for the mask, everyone would have turned their heads back and they could see his face flush.
Xue Mengyi couldn't help but "poof" out of music.
"Okay, don't show affection," Li Wenxin spit out this happy sentence with an expressionless face, "Mengyi, Leng Han, what's the situation over there?"
"Only the man who drove the carriage was caught," Leng Han said, turning around, "and he passed out." The security team sent him back to the security department for interrogation. The others died. Several of our people were injured. The fire must have been prepared by them a long time ago to extinguish the mouth and destroy the evidence. ”
"Is the man who was with him also dead?" asked Li Wenxin.
"I don't know," Leng Han shook his head, "I just know that the guys who came out of that house are dead." The other person must have died too. Anyway, Captain Tang and the others are maintaining the scene, fighting the fire and searching the secret passages. Even if there is still a living one, they will catch it. ”
"In that case, their shipment should still be hidden in the secret tunnel," Li Wenxin said, "I haven't found it here." I don't know if it's ...... at the silk shop."
"Huh?" Leng Han suddenly sensed something, closed his eyes, and released his protective spiritual power. The Micro Spirit Core appeared on his back, flickered twice, and then vanished again.
"What's the matter, Brother Leng?" Ye Hengyuan was the first to notice Leng Han's change.
"Master told us to go to Xicheng District, the northwestern corner," Leng Han opened her eyes, "She sensed a suspicious fluctuation of spiritual power. The spirit division troops around Xicheng District and the squads directly under the Ministry of Security have passed. ”
"Okay!" Li Wenxin nodded, "That might be Xie Bao! He must have some special concealment technique! Let's go over quickly!"
The five of them didn't say anything more, they jumped into the air and flew to the northwest. Everyone reined in their outgoing spiritual power and aura at the same time, and almost no one noticed them. Occasionally, a few soldiers or spirit masters who saw them flying didn't pay attention to them, and just went on doing what they were doing.
Xicheng District.
A figure was moving along the edge of the road, clinging to the eaves of the house. The figure was bulging, thick and round, wrapped in a purple robe, and looked like a dark purple ball under the light of the spiritual power released by the person behind him and the light of the oil lamp in his hand. He looked like a big fat man, but he burst out with a speed that was far from his physique. A faint purple glow shimmered from his back. Robes, hats, and scarves wrapped his face like a black hole, with only a pair of small light purple eyes blinking and blinking, looking like a mouse.
Several white figures followed closely behind him. Some flew in the air, drawing a white light and shadow, while others jumped on the rooftops and smashed a few nests of snow. The soldiers approaching a platoon pursued him behind with weapons and oil lamps, but they could not keep up with him, not even the cavalry at the front. Under the influence of some special spiritual power, he can always maintain the distance between himself and the pursuers behind him.
"Here!"
"Catch him!"
Another group of soldiers and spirit master troops appeared in the purple-robed man's sight. In a dozen seconds at most, he will rush to the dark stone bridge. Below the stone bridge is a riverbed that has already frozen into a solid ice nearly a meter thick. More and more bright fires and spiritual lights appeared on the other side of the bridge. More and more voices reached his ears through phonology.
He turned around, rushed diagonally forward, rushed to the riverbed, kicked the ground with both feet, and leaped into the solid ice of the river.
"What?"
Soldiers on both sides of the river let out dozens of exclamations. None of them expected that the target would jump into the frozen river. All they saw was that the ball-like fat man was spinning his body in the air at high speed, turning into a spinning ball and piercing straight towards the ice.
"He'll run away from the water or the earth! Hold him!"
A shout came from the Spirit Master Array across the bridge. Dozens of colorful spiritual power fluctuations were released from both sides of the river, transforming into various ropes of different lengths or nets of different sizes, wrapping around the big fat man from both directions.
At this moment, the fat man suddenly stopped rotating, and only relied on his own spiritual power to hover in the air. The purple robe was torn open in an instant, and his whole body was instantly split into two halves -- no, into two figures of completely unequal stature! It was not "him", but "them"! They were not one, but two!
Two people hovered in mid-air at the same time. The short man in black who was originally carrying it on his back kicked his legs and stood on the shoulders of the sturdy man in purple. The two of them spun at high speed again, turning into a black-purple whirlwind, crushing all the spiritual power ropes and spiritual power nets that enveloped them. In the dark night sky, few people could see their movements.
"Up!"
"Up!"
Two commands sounded from the ranks on both sides of the river. More than a dozen spirit masters flew up from both sides of the river bank and flew towards the middle of the river. Several other spirit masters quickly ran up to the stone bridge and stood at both ends of the stone bridge. The soldiers also set up positions on both sides of the river. Dozens of spiritual attacks, dozens of arrows, and more than a dozen gunpowder shells shot out at the same time from both ends of the river bank and the stone bridge, blasting towards the black-purple whirlwind in the middle of the river from all directions.
A star-like white point of light suddenly flickered at the tip of the black-purple whirlwind. Immediately after, the black-purple whirlwind suddenly disappeared out of thin air, as if it had never existed. Spiritual waves and gunpowder cannonballs passed through the place where the black-purple whirlwind had been, shattering the ice within a few meters in diameter, causing a loud roar to the sky. Countless pieces of ice and black dirt flew everywhere, and the water splashed everywhere under the ice.
"They're over there!" a coquettish cry came from the sky.
In just a few breaths, three figures flew above the river from hundreds of meters away. Four purple-red thunderbolts with thick mouths fell from the sky and struck the ice, causing four loud noises and making four holes in the ice. Immediately afterward, a blue-green willow leaf-shaped whirlwind rose into the sky, spun at high speed, and then divided into hundreds of fan-shaped wind blades, slashing in all directions.
Two figures broke free from the shock wave of lightning and wind blades and ran north along the ice.
"Brother Xin! Xiaoyuan!" Lei Xi's figure appeared in mid-air. She held her hands high and unleashed lightning bolts that bombarded the ice below.
The sturdy man in purple dragged the thin man in black, dodging the thunder and lightning and the wind blade, and ran forward around the bend. With each step they took, the ice they had stepped on before would be shattered by lightning or cut in half by the blade of the wind.
Li Wenxin instantly accelerated, rushed in front of the two of them, and blocked their way. Tai Chi gauntlets instantly appeared on his arms. He raised his right arm and slapped it at the sturdy man in purple.
The man in purple roared, slapped the thin man in black with his right palm, and pushed him forward dozens of meters, pushing him out of Li Wenxin's attack range. He raised his left palm, took Li Wenxin's palm, took two steps back in a row, and then turned around to meet the dragon pattern Fang Tian Halberd in Ye Hengyuan's hand. A large black scissor with purple streaks appeared in his right palm. The two blades were hard against Fang Tian's double blades, bursting out with blue-golden sparks.
Xue Mengyi and Leng Han also flew above the river bank and landed on the ice, surrounding the thin man in black one left and one right. The thin man in black raised his head, shook his head slightly, raised his hand, and removed the black turban that covered his little head. His long pale yellow hair instantly spread out
