Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Enemy Emerges
The two of them ran wildly without looking back, I don't know how long they went around the streets and alleys, until their legs were weak, and then they dared to turn back.
Seeing that there were only pedestrians behind them who were startled by their fast running, the two looked at each other, slowed down in unison, and leaned against the trees beside the road to catch their breath.
The emaciated middle-aged man in a gray robe was sweating profusely, his legs trembled slightly unconsciously because of his lack of physical strength, and he gasped:
"Whew...... Call... That man, that man was dumped by us?"
"Goo..."
The chubby middle-aged man in the blue robe was covered with beads of sweat on his face, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty to moisten his throat dehydration caused by long-term strenuous exercise, gasped for two breaths, and said uncertainly:
"Whew... Call... Should... Isn't it? Otherwise, it would have caught up a long time ago!"
The thin man finally breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up slightly, and said with peace of mind:
"That's good. Let's rest for a while and go to Lord Wang!"
The fat man nodded, already too tired to speak.
In front of the ancestral hall, on the rostrum. Lin Qinghan looked at the jade spirit bead that was slightly gasping, and quietly listened to her encounter two suspicious businessmen on the road, and then Li Shaobai chased the past alone, and he had already made a decision:
"I see. Since Li Shaobai doesn't care about these personal successes and failures and false reputations, I naturally won't be too stingy. Regardless of the outcome of this martial arts meeting, the village will give him the same reward as the fifth place, in recognition of his loyalty to the whole village for taking care of the overall situation. ”
Yu Lingzhu nodded and smiled:
"Captain Lin is responsible for the security of your village, and he is really brave and strategic. But... Xiao Fan, what's wrong with him?"
Looking at Yang Fan, who had said so much here, but was still frowning and unmoved, she couldn't help but ask.
Lin Qinghan laughed:
"He... He has a new understanding of his sword in the semi-finals just now, and he is meditating!"
Yu Lingzhu didn't know what he meant specifically, but when he heard that Yang Fan was cultivating, he nodded in understanding, walked over and sat down.
At this moment, in an alley in the middle of the village, two middle-aged people, one fat and one thin, were walking briskly along the wall with their heads down.
After a few moments, the two stood in front of an ordinary brown wooden door.
The wooden door is more than one person high, and the width of only two people side by side indicates that this is just an ordinary house in the alley.
It's just that in the bright afternoon sunshine, you can clearly see that the patent leather that was originally mottled and fallen on it was directly repainted by the householder and pressed under the dark red paint, and the color of the deep and light pieces was even more incongruous.
The two men standing in the doorway looked around, then lifted the knocker and slapped it a few times.
Half an hour later, there was still no sound behind the door.
But the two people in front of the door did not have the slightest impatience, and stood quietly waiting in place.
"Click. ”
"Squeak-"
After a few more moments, there was the sound of the latch being removed from behind the door, and then the left half of the door was opened from the outside in.
The thin man outside slowed down, finally relaxed, pushed open the half door panel on the right, and walked in with the slightly fat person behind him.
"How's it going?"
Before he could take a sip of water when a slightly old voice sounded behind the side door.
The two hurriedly and respectfully bent down and replied:
"What the adults have commanded, of course, has been done. ”
The old man's voice was mixed with a little joy, and he smiled:
"Haha, yes! Just wait until Chinese New Year's Eve, join forces with the one-eyed dragon, and destroy their guard first!hahaha......"
When the laughter faded, the voice seemed to think of something, and asked casually:
"By the way, you two weren't found out after the fact, right?"
The two of them froze, not knowing how to speak.
The voice that was only through a thin layer of door panels obviously sensed something, and the voice was cold.
"Why, do you want me to ask you to speak?"
The two of them were shocked, shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said in horror:
"Don't dare, don't dare! After the two of us arranged the 'detonation charm' around the guardhouse, we didn't dare to stay longer, so we planned to come back directly. It's just that on the road, I met a young man with long physical strength and explosive power, and somehow he set his eyes on the two of us and chased after him all the way. ”
The old voice behind the door was cold, and he asked:
"And then?"
"Then we ran around the village for a long time, and only then did we come back after we got rid of him!"
The fat man wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead and replied busily.
The old voice only heard such a sentence, and the coldness of Sen Han seemed to spread through the words into the room:
"Gone?"
The two of them trembled, knelt on the ground and trembled:
"No... Nope. ”
"Two idiots!"
The person behind the door roared angrily, as if he was also worried about being discovered by the surrounding neighbors, and deliberately lowered his voice:
"Pack up your things and get out of here now!"
Wang Yan sat cross-legged on the kang, almost angry with these two idiots.
A bearded man on the ground whispered:
"Steward Wang, haven't the two of them already thrown the man away?"
Wang Yan snorted coldly and gave him a blank look:
"They're stupid, can you be stupid too? In this village, apart from those people in the guardhouse, who else cares about this kind of nosy! The ordinary people in the guardhouse are all maintaining order in the ancestral hall, and the only ones who can still hang out in the village now are probably patrolling alchemists. Are you stupid enough to think that the two of them can get rid of a body refiner?"
The big man was startled, and hurriedly saluted:
"The king's steward is angry!
Looking at the big man who turned around and went out, Wang Yan slowly stood on the ground and said to himself to the already empty room:
"Even if you're just a patrolman, I can't help but admire your courage. I didn't even notify your captain, so I dared to chase after you alone? hehe..."
Before he finished speaking, he bounced violently, and with a "boom" he broke through the roof and came outside, looking at the young figure who had just run to the roof next door.
In his panic, Li Shaobai could still accurately step on the roof ridge and the footing place on the wall, and hurriedly fled in the direction of the ancestral hall in the north.
"Damn, there are so many body refiners in that house! This old man must at least be in the Bone Forging Realm! What is the intention of such a group of people hiding in the village?"
This figure that fled in panic was Li Shaobai, who was secretly following the two businessmen before.
Because he was discovered when he was chasing them at the beginning, he thought of a plan, turned from light to dark, and quietly followed them.
Following them around the streets and alleys a few times, carefully following the cultivation of the Body Grinding Realm, naturally the two ordinary people would not be found out, and the vigilance in their hearts was reduced, and they obediently took themselves to their base camp.
It's just that I thought that the things that two ordinary people could be involved in were public security issues such as petty theft, but who would have thought that it was a den where a group of body refiners gathered, and those two ordinary people were only because they did not have cultivation, so it was more convenient to enter the village.
When he reached the roof, he could only faintly hear the old voice telling everyone to pack up their things and hurry away, and then the old man's soft, but clear self-talk.
Being able to cultivate to the realm of grinding the body at such an age, Li Shaobai was naturally not stupid, and immediately understood that the old man was deliberately saying it to himself.
But he has obviously reined in his whole body, and even his breathing and heartbeat have been put to the slowest level!
In this state, separated by another layer of roof, even if it is the same grinding realm, it will definitely not be discovered.
So he no longer suppressed, his vitality flowed in his legs, and he got up and ran.
Even so, it was still a little late.
Wang Yan burst through the roof and came to it, and when he saw Li Shaobai, who had just escaped not far away, he sneered and shot forward like lightning.
In just an instant, he appeared beside Li Shaobai, waved his big hand, and grabbed the young man with a dazzling light.
Li Shaobai was taken aback, he only pulled out half of his sword, and his vitality seemed to meet his top boss, and he cowered.
Qi refining rank!
Only the true qi that turns the void into reality will have a natural level of suppression in the face of the vitality.
Li Shaobai smiled miserably, gave up drawing his sword, and stopped running away.
"Click!"
The loose skin covered the old man's hand like goosebump, but the force on it stuck on his neck with a thickness that did not match his age.
"Huh?"
Wang Yan was about to increase his strength to pinch off his neck, but suddenly found that the head in his hand was a little familiar, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his cloudy eyes exuded a terrifying essence.
"Uh... uh..."
Li Shaobai was restrained by a pair of iron tongs, and he was already a little out of breath.
He gradually became weak, and the long sword in his hand fell on the eaves at his feet with a "click", and slid into the courtyard of the house that he didn't know.
"I... Am I going to die? Die on the roof, or for the sake of the village... I don't know... Will I be engraved on a monument when I die?"
Just when he was unconscious, thinking that he was going to die like this, he suddenly heard a woman in the courtyard under him shout:
"Who's throwing garbage in our yard......"
Perhaps she looked up and saw the two men on the roof, and before she could finish speaking, it was as if a large invisible hand was caught in the neck.
Then Li Shaobai felt the strength on his neck loosen, and then the iron tong-like hand was taken from his body.
Wang Yan had already recognized it, this was Li Shaobai, who had killed seven or eight of his own body refiners in that operation outside Luoxia City, and he was also one of the targets that the adult wanted to capture alive.
The moment the old man let go, his brain, which had been deprived of oxygen for a long time, still did not grasp the initiative of the body, and was pulled by the gravitational force of the earth, falling head and foot on the tiles, and sliding down the roof with a "bang, bang".
Fortunately, he barely regained control of himself the moment he landed on the ground, and slightly adjusted his landing posture so that he would not fall to the ground.
"Tom!"
The moment he landed, he saw the old man on the top wave his hand, and the fierce palm wind suddenly pressed down on him, as if he was slammed by a big hammer, and his throat opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.
It's just that the slightly bloated woman next to her instantly turned into blood and mud in the old man's volleyed palm, splashing everywhere.
Li Shaobai looked at the scarlet in the courtyard, and his throat couldn't help but feel a sweetness, wishing that he could also die under the palm just now.
The villagers of Qinglong Village were right in front of their eyes, and they were beaten with a palm!
But what is he doing as the captain of the escort team?
Looking weakly?
Even the sword was thrown aside?
His eyes turned red instantly, and as soon as his body moved, he wanted to grab the sword.

I don't know if you have noticed that Xiaozhou has gradually advanced the update time?
