The closed courtyard gate shattered, and a tall figure rushed out of the courtyard at the moment when the nameless long knife stabbed the courtyard gate, and a golden sword light **** came out from the chest of this tall figure, and greeted the long knife in Mu Yang's hand.

The swords collided, making a loud sound of gold and stone impact, and the exploding door panel was cut into smaller pieces by the sputtered vitality before it hit the ground, and a rain of blood sprayed from the sword light and sword shadow, and the tall figure took several steps back, and the long sword and half of the arm in his hand fell on the threshold and bounced up and fell to the ground.

The tall figure looked at Mu Yang in shock, a little unable to believe what had just happened, he hid behind the door and was ready to attack, and was seriously injured and cut off an arm with only one sword, completely losing the ability to fight again.

"Tell me who is behind the scenes and your accomplices, and I will spare you from death. ”

Mu Yang stood at the door, the nameless long knife hanging low at his side, blood flowing down the blade and dripping to the ground.

"I don't understand who is behind the back. ”

This is a big man who looks to be thirty-five or sixteen years old, his arm was cut off, he didn't let out a heart-rending wail, the severe pain made a layer of cold sweat break out on the corner of his forehead, and when he spoke, his intact left hand slowly stretched out behind him.

Mu Yang didn't continue to ask, and just as the big man's hand was about to grasp a powerful magic weapon hidden in his waist, he slashed again.

A blood line was thrown into the air, the head of the big man and his neck were split in two with the blood line as the center, in mid-air, the muscles on his face twisted violently, and his round eyes were filled with a look of horror, until he died, he didn't understand how the young man blocking the door could suddenly knife without saying a word.

"Mu Gongzi, you should stay alive. ”

Yan Dong looked at the corpse on the ground and said.

"No, I don't. ”

Mu Yang walked to the side of the big man's corpse and took out a round golden ball the size of a thumb from his back waist, Yan Dong's face changed greatly when he saw the small ball: "This is a thorn gold bead?"

Mu Yang nodded and took the golden ball into his arms.

Yan Dong's face was a little pale, the Thorn Gold Bead was a powerful magic weapon, and after exploding, it would shoot out thousands of poisonous needles as thin as hairs, which had the power to kill the cultivators under the four realms with one blow, if it wasn't for Mu Yang's timely reaction, once it was used by the dead man, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

It's just that this kind of magic weapon is too vicious, and the user himself can't escape the killing range of the poison needle, no one wants to use it except in a desperate situation where they have to die together, and the complexity and expensive price of making zuò also make most practitioners daunting.

After putting away the thorn gold ball, Mu Yang began to check the body of the big man, and also found a serpentine tattoo on his chest, just as Mu Yang got up and was about to leave, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves outside, and Yan Shisan chased after him with dozens of Yan family masters.

The thirteen young men in the ranking match were seriously injured, and under the timely treatment of the priest and the healing elixir of the Yan family, their combat effectiveness could not be restored for a while, but they could already withstand the bumps brought by the carriage running.

"Muyang, where are you, damn it, which turtle grandson injured the steel baby like that, Lao Tzu wants to break him into ten thousand pieces!"

Seeing Mu Yang, Yan Shisan, whose eyes were blood-red, shouted and scolded, "Where is the murderer? Is he hiding in this small courtyard? Come here, bring all the people in the courtyard to Lao Tzu, some people resist, and there is no mercy for killing!"

"No need. ”

Mu Yang looked at the angry Yan 13 and stopped: "The person is already dead. ”

"Dead?"

Yan Shisan glanced at the corpse on the ground, "Then he still has his comrades! Did you find him in this courtyard? If so, the entire courtyard should die!"

Mu Yang shook his head: "The same party is not in the courtyard. ”

"Where's that?"

"Rhubarb and half a catty know. ”

Mu Yang said as he walked towards the carriage parked outside, and as soon as he went out, he saw Yan Chaoge walking down from a carriage with two middle-aged cultivators.

"Muyang. ”

"Uncle Six. ”

Mu Yang saluted Yan Chaoge with a calm face.

Yan Chaoge hugged Muyang's shoulders and said bitterly: "I heard about the matter of Fugui Manor, and someone dares to attack the Yan family and Gangwa, don't worry, I will definitely find out the murderer for you, no matter who instigated it, the Yan family will never let him go!"

"Thank you, Uncle Six, because of me and Gangwa, three brothers of the Yan family died, and Muyang really didn't want to go. Mu Yang said apologetically.

Yan Chaoge's eyes widened, and he said unhappily: "What are you talking about? You and Thirteen are brothers, that is my own Yan family, I am Thirteen's sixth uncle, that is, your uncle, whoever dares to touch you will not get along with me Yan Chaoge, in Kaiyang City, I want to see who has the courage!"

Mu Yang looked at Yan Chaoge gratefully, and did not be polite, and said: "There are seventeen people who did it, most of them are injured, and a few uninjured half-catty also remember their appearance, Rhubarb will take me to find those injured first, and from them, I found a snake-shaped tattoo and this red waist card, I don't know if the sixth uncle has seen it?"

Yan Chaoge took it and looked at it twice, and frowned: "Judging from the carving technique and the wood used, unlike the style of our Great Xia Kingdom, I have limited knowledge of this aspect, and when I send it back to the auction house, let the master of the Yan family specializing in carving appraise it, it should not be difficult to come up with an answer." ”

Mu Yang nodded, and his gaze moved to Rhubarb: "Rhubarb, next." ”

......

......

When Muyang was chasing the murderer, an inconspicuous carriage stopped in front of Han Zhongchuan's mansion, the door opened, and Zhuang Yusheng, who had changed into an ordinary robe, walked out of the carriage.

The soldier guarding the gate did not enter the courtyard and led him directly to the backyard.

In Han Zhongtian's study, Zhuang Yusheng met the commander of the city defense army who controlled most of Kaiyang City.

"Yusheng, why are you here? The ranking tournament is over?

Seeing Zhuang Yusheng, Han Zhongtian, who was sitting behind the table, hurriedly got up and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"There was a little bit of an accident. ”

Zhuang Yusheng lifted the cyan cloth hat covering his head, and there was not the slightest joy on his face.

"How?"

Han Zhongtian paused for a moment, "Didn't Baichuan get the first place?"

"Yes. ”

Zhuang Yusheng nodded: "Not only did he not get the first place, but he was also seriously injured, and now he is being treated by the priest in the temple, the situation is not very optimistic, if it wasn't for my timely action, my life would not have been saved." ”

"How is that possible?"

Han Zhongtian's face changed, Han Baichuan is his youngest son, and his amazing cultivation talent has always been his capital to brag and show off among his colleagues, and he has always felt that the top spot in this ranking competition belongs to his son, this kind of self-confidence not only comes from Han Baichuan's strength but also from Zhuang Yusheng's guarantee, and now that he heard that Han Baichuan actually lost, he thought that he had heard it wrong.
