Chapter 0245 - Single-handedly
Qin Wushuang jumped off his horse and stepped forward.
The group of warriors hurriedly stepped forward to block him, but they found that the figure in front of them suddenly blurred, like a gust of wind, floating past, and with a flicker of eyes, they found that Qin Wushuang's figure had reached dozens of feet in front of them. Their layers of guards were like air, and they didn't have any effect.
Qin Wushuang went straight to the Venerable with his cloak and floated closer, and with a sudden pull of his arm, he grabbed the Venerable's forward posture.
Connecting the dots with his hand, the acupoints of the Venerable's whole body were sealed, and a spiritual power output was directly sent into the opponent's dantian, suppressing the internal force of the Venerable's tumbling dantian, combing his disordered meridians.
Qin Wushuang's eyesight was, and he could see from afar that this Venerable was overly frightened, his meridians were disordered, and there were already faint signs of going mad, and if he was not treated in time, he would definitely die. At that moment, he used his means to calm this person's mind, and at the same time copied the corpse in his hand, put it on the ground, and studied it.
After careful observation closely, Qin Wushuang accurately judged that this person was indeed the second martial saint of the Bashu Kingdom, Ba Liming's facial features and seven holes were deeply sunken, as if they had been sucked hollowed out by some force, and they were shriveled and shriveled. And many places on the body have been gnawed very ugly, and there are defects everywhere.
At this time, those acquired masters of the Bashu Kingdom, seeing that Qin Wushuang suddenly appeared, attacked their Venerable, and took away the body of the Martial Saint, they all looked at each other, and rushed up one after another, holding weapons in their hands, ready to attack them at any time.
Qin Wushuang glanced at the Venerable and saw that his breath had basically been smoothed out, and the Qi Sea Dantian was no longer boiling as before, so he immediately flicked his hand and let him wake up.
A trace of confusion flashed in the Venerable Venerable's eyes, and then he came to his senses. His eyes widened, looking at Qin Wushuang, a little confused, but more grateful.
Looking down at Ba Liming's corpse again, he couldn't help but feel sad, and cried miserably: "Master!"
"Are you a disciple of Ba Liming?"
"Yes...... "The Venerable One bowed and said, "Senior, may I ask ...... you are?"
"I'm from the Great Luo Empire, so I don't need to ask. Let's talk about what is going on. ”
When the Venerable heard the words "Daluo Empire", he was immediately overjoyed, and he hurriedly told the story of this passage.
From beginning to end, after speaking, Qin Wushuang finally understood what was going on. It turned out that a few days at the end of last year, this Ziyun Town was ransacked, and there was no one left alive in everyone.
Ziyun Town was washed in blood, because there was no one alive, so after the news came out, it was already three days later, and it was a person from other places who came here, and when he saw such a tragic situation, he ran out as if he was fleeing for his life, went to the county town to report the news, and then alarmed Yanjing of Bashu State at all levels.
This kind of inhumane destruction has also happened in the history of the Tianxuan Continent, but it is generally when the two countries go to war, and one party orders a massacre in order to vent its anger.
However, there has been no war in the Bashu Kingdom in recent years, and Ziyun Town, as an important commercial town, has not been very prominent in military significance, so there is no reason for this massacre.
After receiving such shocking news, the Bashu Kingdom immediately sent the Martial Saint Ba Liming, along with a group of powerhouses from the True Martial Holy Land, to investigate the truth of the matter.
Arriving at Ziyun Town, Ba Liming and two Venerable-level apprentices investigated everywhere and were surprised to find that the situation of the slaughter in Ziyun Town was very complicated.
First of all, this Purple Cloud Town should have been ransacked first. Otherwise, all the property in Ziyun Town would not be so empty, ten rooms and nine empty.
And if it was just a robbery by bandits, it was impossible for no one in this Ziyun Town to escape. No matter how tightly organized the bandits are, they are a rabble after all, and it is impossible to slaughter them so cleanly, leaving no one alive. As a large commercial town, Ziyun Town has many large households, more or less, there must be some secret passages, and even some armed forces, even if it is a bloody battle, it is enough to fight a bloody road.
Therefore, the robbery of bandits can be ruled out.
There is no doubt that this should be the work of a large number of masters, and they are well-trained masters. Among them, there is no shortage of tracking masters, who can pull out any hidden person from the secret passage, otherwise, it is impossible to kill no one left.
The most terrifying thing is that tens of thousands of people in this Ziyun Town were not only killed, but many corpses were also very weird, and they all went out and were mutilated, as if they had been gnawed by some fierce beast.
According to the analysis of layers of clues, Ba Liming finally found a little bit of source clues, and locked the target on Bifu Mountain in front of Ziyun Town.
According to Ba Liming's analysis, the slaughterer, after retreating from Ziyun Town, left in the direction of Bifu Mountain. Therefore, Ba Liming took two Venerable-level disciples to Bifu Mountain to investigate in depth.
and ordered his subordinates to be responsible for burning all the corpses in Ziyun Town and burying them deeply, so as to prevent corpses from being mutated and causing a large-scale plague infection.
At the same time, he ordered all along the road to continue to send orders out, and completely adopt martial law and close the road in the direction of Ziyun Town!
I went for three days, but I didn't expect that when I came back again, even Ba Liming had already perished. And his death turned out to be the same as the symptoms of some corpses in Ziyun Town.
The seven holes were sucked out by some monster, which was very terrifying.
After hearing what the Venerable said, Qin Wushuang's expression was grim, and he walked out, beckoning to several of his fellow disciples, and motioning for everyone to come over.
Zhou Fu and the others patted their horses and walked forward, and those warriors from the True Martial Holy Land still wanted to stop them, but they were shouted by the Venerable: "Retreat for me, don't be rude!"
At this time, Ba Liming was gone, and naturally he had the highest status as a venerable. At the sound of an order, those acquired powerhouses all retreated one after another to make way out.
"This person, is it really Ba Liming?" Zhou Fu frowned, feeling very creepy.
"Yes. Qin Wushuang's tone also had a hint of solemnity, "This matter is not trivial. can make Ba Liming like this, the opponent's strength is very strong. According to the younger brother's estimate, there are two possibilities. ”
"Which two?" Zhou Fu blinked.
"First, the opponent is a strong person who cultivates evil skills, and he is extremely ferocious, and second, the opponent may be a fierce beast, and it is definitely not only at the level of a junior spirit beast. ”
At present, Qin Wushuang can only make these judgments preliminarily, Zhou Fu nodded: "Well, if it is an ordinary strong person, killing people will kill people, it will not be so brutal and so weird." ”
Qin Wushuang turned his head and asked the Venerable, "Your master, did you encounter any opponent, didn't you really see it at all?"
The Venerable One shook his head: "At that time, the three of us were separated into three ways, and the better it was, we gathered every fifty miles. But on the third day, I saw the corpse of the master lying on the road. In a panic, I ran out holding the body of my master. I don't know if the other Venerable One is alive or dead. ”
"You didn't encounter any attacks along the way?"
"No, but I didn't get any clues. I suspect that the route taken by Shizun should be the location of the clue, so he was killed. ”
Qin Wushuang was silent, and carefully studied Ba Liming's corpse. After watching it for a long time, he finally found nothing, and immediately ordered: "The people you brought from the True Martial Holy Land can go back to the outskirts of Ziyun Town and set up a camp to protect the scene. ”
The Venerable nodded and asked cautiously, "Then do you want to report to me as the No. 1 Martial Saint of the Bashu Kingdom?"
"This is natural, Ba Liming's death is a big deal, and it is necessary to let the first martial saint of Bashu Kingdom deal with it well and guard against any contingencies. ”
"Yes. ”
A few hours later, after leaving a batch of tents and grain and grass in the True Martial Holy Land, they retreated and left.
When the night came, Qin Wushuang and the others lit a bonfire in an empty clearing. A tent for four people, in a square shape.
The bonfire was blazing, and Qin Wushuang was sitting in front of the bonfire, but he was thinking about something.
"Peerless junior brother, why don't you rest?" Zhou Fu walked out of the tent.
"Senior sister, let everyone be vigilant. This pair of heads, I'm afraid, is not trivial. ”
Zhou Fu said indignantly: "I'm afraid that he won't come, if he comes, he must look good." So brutal and murderous, I must cut off his dog's head with a sword. Peerless junior brother, tomorrow morning, we will enter the mountain. ”
"There's no hurry. Qin Wushuang said lightly, "You have to wait for Senior Brother Wei Yi to arrive before you can act." ”
"Why?" Zhou Fu was puzzled.
"This matter has developed to this point, and it is no longer as simple as the disappearance of the medicine picking boy. There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this matter. ”
Qin Wushuang analyzed, and said, "If it is a strong man who can easily kill Ba Liming, his strength must be extraordinary. It may even be a powerhouse in the Lingwu Middle Realm. ”
"Lingwu Middle Realm?" Zhou Fu's face froze, and there was also a hint of surprise in his snow-colored appearance, "Could it really be that the Tianchi Empire is doing something famous?"
Qin Wushuang said: "It's too early to make a conclusion, when Senior Brother Wei Yi arrives, let's divide our troops into two ways." All the way into the mountains, all the way to the periphery. But there is one thing that must be noted, it must not be dispersed. Every passerby must be gathered together so as not to be left alone and taken advantage of by the enemy. ”
This night, it was calm and nothing happened. On the second day, the main hall master rushed to the scene under the leadership of Wei Yi.
The two passers-by gathered together, and they also had some confidence.
Qin Wushuang said to Wei Yi: "Senior Brother Wei Yi, I want to go into the mountain to investigate first. Here, it's up to you to take care of it. After Senior Brother Zhao Muzhi and the others arrive, let's divide into two routes, how about it?"
Zhou Fu objected: "Senior Brother Wushuang, if you enter the mountain alone, we are not very relieved." ”
Qin Wushuang showed some calm smiles, and said calmly and confidently: "Senior sister, don't worry, I won't go deeper." The periphery will be explored first, and along the line of Ba Liming, all the way over, to see how Ba Liming was killed. ”
Wei Yi nodded: "Okay, Senior Brother Qin, you have to be careful." If the opponent is too strong, don't force it. With the strength of ten of us, we can always destroy him!"
Qin Wushuang nodded in response, packed up his clothes, and galloped towards Bifu Mountain.
