Chapter Eighty-Six: A Glimpse of the Two Mountains
The glow of the sunset permeates the two connected peaks, casting a shadow on the back. However, the shadow seemed to be restless, and two white mists flowed out of the inky black, and from a distance it looked like two white clouds floating freely around the strange peaks.
At the foot of the dark mountain was a forest, but the scene had already turned into a dead wood in the winter.
There was a small fire burning in a sheltered clearing in the middle of the woods, and dry dead wood was definitely the fire's favorite material, and the warmth around the fire was reflected in this at the moment.
Qin Tao, who was flushed by the firelight, warmed his hands by the fire, but his eyes slid to Tang Xuexin and Dongdong on the side, and his face couldn't help but show a beautiful taste.
Tang Xuexin was wrapped in a loose thick cloak, the brim of the hat covered the girl's willow eyebrows, and she was holding a roasted chicken leg in her hand and nibbling beautifully.
And Dongdong next to her couldn't help but say, just from the greasy mouth, it is not difficult to see that this little guy is eating so vigorously.
Watching a man and a beast enjoying the barbecue beautifully, the corners of Qin Tao's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, revealing a shallow relief.
"Idiot, don't you want to eat some?" Tang Xuexin put down the leg meat and asked with a wink at Qin Tao.
Putting his warm hands behind his head, Qin Tao lay back comfortably, looking at the two vast mountain scenery exposed in the forest, and responded leisurely: "No, I can go without eating or drinking for half a month." ”
Glancing at the young man lying down, Tang Xuexin stopped speaking and continued to bury her head in nibbling on the chicken legs.
"Xue Xin, Leng Yun Tianming should pass by here, right?" Looking at the white clouds that were gradually blackening, Qin Tao suddenly asked.
Wiping her greasy lips with a silk handkerchief, Tang Xuexin nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes flashed with a strange luster, and she responded: "Well, after three days of inspection, it's time for him to return." ”
Qin Tao didn't say anything, his eyes slowly closed as the sun set into the mountain col, as if he was asleep and as if he was accumulating strength for the upcoming assassination.
"You say, will the people from the Sword Cloud Sect come?" Tang Xuexin hugged her legs curled up in the hem of her cloak and suddenly asked Qin Tao.
Qin Tao's eyes were still closed, but there was a hint of coldness in his words: "If that's really the case, then let's kill one by one." ”
The cold word "kill" was bitten to death, it seemed that there was infinite anger in Qin Tao's heart, even Tang Xuexin couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart after hearing that word.
The night in the dead wood forest was very cold, and the biting cold wind sometimes blew the bare branches of the trees to shake off the snow on the surface, and the ice crystals that had warmed up slightly in the white sky became solid again in the cold night.
Tang Xuexin leaned against a crooked-necked tree next to the fire and fell asleep quietly, her wide brim naturally lowered, covering most of her face. Dongdong curled up in her arms, one small paw covering her closed eyes, and snoring sweetly.
Adding some new dry wood to the fire, Qin Tao stirred up the flames, glanced affectionately at the shadow under the cloak, and then took out the Demon Sword Emperor Tribulation and spread it in his hand and came to his senses in a daze.
The wait may be long, but with Qin Tao's current heart, this kind of waiting is just a deposit before the perfect killing, just to play the most beautiful music at the perfect time.
"Our men will launch the first attack, and the location is here. Tang Xuexin pointed to a place on the map in front of him and said by the morning light.
Qin Tao stroked the cold sword body, looked at the place Tang Xuexin was pointing at, and nodded lightly: "When will I move?"
"Don't worry, after they lure away Leng Yuntian's gang, I'll carry out a tentative attack. ”
Qin Tao was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "You also make a move?"
He thought that Tang Xuexin would not be involved in the whole plan, but he didn't expect that the most critical part would be completed by her.
"Of course. Tang Xuexin replied resolutely.
After being silent for a moment, Qin Tao put down the magic sword and shook his head at the girl: "No, no." There was a hint of commanding strictness in his eyes.
"It's fine. You just need to find the right time to kill Leng Yuntian with one blow, and we'll do the rest. The corners of Tang Xuexin's mouth rose, revealing a bright smile under the hood, and then patted Qin Tao's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I have my own tricks to save my life." ”
"Leng Yuntian won't have only one subordinate by his side. Qin Tao said affirmatively, his eyes full of worry.
"That's even better, so you can take advantage of the chaos to kill him. Tang Xuexin raised her pretty face, bathed in the soft light of the early morning, and said excitedly.
Qin Tao was silent, he finally understood the true meaning of the change of plan, and that group of advance troops was estimated to be the guardian of the young master of the sect. At this moment, he suddenly felt that the girl in front of him was exceptionally beautiful, and a complex feeling of gratitude and sighing naturally rose in his heart.
Suddenly, Qin Tao stepped forward and hugged Tang Xuexin tightly, causing the girl to be stunned for a while. However, when she reacted, her face couldn't help but flush with red clouds, and her heart was even more beautiful.
For lovers, a casual hug may be more touching than vows and sweet words.
......
There may always be coincidences in the world, when the sound of galloping horses' hooves sounded on the two mountain roads, Qin Tao couldn't help but glance at the dark night sky without any light, thus concluding that the night of the moon was the right time to kill.
Eight men in black urged their horses to escort a richly dressed middle-aged man galloping towards the foot of the two mountains.
Thick eyebrows, eagle eyes, wide jaws, tiger whiskers, and a snow fox velvet coat, three feet of snow show a sense of luxury.
At this moment, there was a trace of anxiety and resentment in the eagle's eyes, which were all revealed in Leng Yuntian's undisguised serious expression.
Qin Tao squatted on a tree in the dark shadow, and when he saw a few people galloping in the distance, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and at the same time slowly attached to the cold branches, waiting quietly.
Just as Leng Yuntian and his party rushed into the edge of the dead wood forest, the originally static shadow suddenly rushed out like a life, and after a burst of wind-like sound, more than a dozen black figures appeared around those black-clothed people like lightning.
As if anticipating a sneak attack, the six men in black flew out of their horses with great agility, each unleashing a sparkling broadsword as they met the assassin. The remaining two men in black continued to escort Leng Yuntian and galloped forward, as if nothing had happened.
Shaking off the black shadow of unknown origin, Leng Yuntian's slightly furrowed thick eyebrows have eased slightly, as if he feels that the danger has passed. But it was only when he saw a purple glow in the dark woods that he realized his conceit.
"What a boldness, you dare to assassinate this king in the territory of the empire!" Leng Yuntian roared loudly at the purple light, and a layer of earthy yellow halo appeared from the inside of his coat.
The remaining two guards flashed their two blades, their toes lightly touching the horse's back, but the men had already swept into the purple light of the trees.
"Leng Ming, now that I can't kill you, let your uncle die for you first. Qin Tao was prostrate on the tree, his eyes staring at the cold cloud sky below, and the corners of his mouth showed a wicked smile at some point.
However, Leng Yuntian uncharacteristically tightened the reins, standing on the periphery of the purple light and looking into the harsh depths of the woods.
"Panhe howling and crying ghost, don't you feel ashamed that the two of you, as members of the Purple Moon Empire, actually worked for the prince of the enemy country!"
Tang Xuexin's pretended hoarse voice came out of the purple light, clearly echoing in the ears of everyone who approached.
The two of them didn't talk to each other, one holding a long hook and the other with two long claws, their faces were covered by a black cloth, revealing a pair of purple-black eyes and crawling with lifeless eyes, and their figures swept through the forest, chasing a shadow that changed frequently in the purple light.
Qin Tao saw this scene clearly, and couldn't help but cast an approving glance at Tang Xuexin.
"I didn't expect Xue Xin's strength to improve so much in the past year, she can really use a genius...... No, it's a demon ...... to be exact."
Like a cloud of mist, purple light shrouded half of the woods, and Tang Xuexin's shadow flickered frequently, changing positions in the light, as if it was playing with an illusion to play the river howling ghosts.
Leng Yuntian outside the forest frowned, trying to think of any powerhouse who might be higher than the strength of the Panhe Howling Ghost, but he had never seen a high-level cultivator who used such purple light as a weapon.
You must know that the Panhe Howling Ghost is a first-class soul envoy peak powerhouse, especially the exquisite cooperation of the two has made them never afraid of souls, but today they are going to be planted in an inexplicable strange halo.
Qin Tao no longer looked at Tang Xuexin, he was confident that the girl could deal with the two lifeless men in black. Moving his gaze to Leng Yuntian again, Qin Tao wiped away the sweat stains that were oozing slightly from his palms, and covered his face with a black cloth.
Facing the soul-level Leng Yuntian, he thought that he had no possibility of killing with one blow, but he had to be fully prepared for the sneak attack.
Suddenly, a roaring thunder sounded in the dazzling purple light, followed by a blue thunderbolt that seemed to be ten thousand pounds of thunder and lightning filled the purple mist, like a vicious thunder beast devouring the Panhe Howling Ghost.
With two miserable screams coming out of the purple light, Leng Yuntian's fists clenched, a pair of eagle eyes were full of anger, and the earthy yellow halo around his body was as dazzling as purple light, and he immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Two useless wastes!
However, despite Leng Yuntian's words, the person did not move at all, as if he was waiting for something.
At this time, Qin Tao was hidden in a shadow, only two feet away from the cold clouds. However, when he discovered Leng Yuntian's abnormality, he couldn't help muttering in his heart and frowned slightly.
At this moment, a purple shadow flew towards the cold cloud sky like a wisp of cloud smoke separated from the purple cloud and mist at the moment when it gradually took shape, and at the same time, a purple light sword shone out from the smoke.
