Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Silent Contest
"Little thief, if you have the guts, you can compete with the old man head-on, what kind of hero is a sneak attack in secret?!"
Inside the cave, it was Cai Lao's roar mixed with coughing.
Although the physical fitness of Ming Jin martial artists is several times stronger than that of ordinary people, in the final analysis, they are still mortal in the flesh, and they still need to breathe and fresh air.
Jiang Yi blocked the entrance of the cave with a big stone and poured in thick smoke, just to suffocate the people inside.
Hearing the roar inside, Jiang Yi was silent, but secretly increased the fire, consuming the oxygen inside even more violently.
He didn't know the people inside.
But it is nothing more than the Red Tiger Gang and the Heavenly Eagle Gate.
The Red Tiger Gang was because he had offended that Qin Gongzi, and the Heavenly Eagle Gate was the cold-faced fighter he had killed.
It was only later that he learned that it was a disciple of an elder of the Heavenly Eagle Sect.
But in that situation at that time, either he died or he died, and the face of the king of heaven and Lao Tzu was useless.
Since he found out that someone was following him, he was going to run away and walked away.
But along the way, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became.
He is injured and wants to run, and he has to run when he is injured, isn't this injury in vain?
In addition, he has just broken through Mingjin Xiaocheng, and it is when his strength has advanced greatly, and his confidence is much higher than usual.
However, he carefully chose this closed cave as the location of the battle.
After all, it's one thing to have confidence, but reality is not a game, and there is no chance of a rollback, so he can't be too careful.
So he hid in the shadows, and in case there were many people coming, he put up with this breath for the time being, and he still had to run.
It's just that there was a person.
Then don't blame him, a young man, for bullying an old comrade.
"Little thief, you don't want to die!"
The voices inside struggled more and more, and the coughing became more and more urgent.
The big stone blocking the entrance of the cave made a muffled sound, but Jiang Yi resisted it with his body, the strength attribute was more than five, and the huge power of thousands of catties was blessed on it, how could a person with qi and blood be old and weak to open it easily.
Slowly, the sound inside became weaker and weaker, and the force on the stone gradually weakened.
"Little thief, the old man won't let you go!"
Cai Lao's voice was so weak that he couldn't speak, and then there was a muffled sound of falling to the ground in the cave, and he didn't have any breath anymore.
The corners of Jiang Yi's mouth twitched.
Old thing, trying to lie to him.
With his current physical fitness, even if he has not deliberately exercised, it is not difficult to hold his breath for a quarter of an hour.
Even if you add strenuous exercise, it's not a problem to stick to it for five minutes.
It's only been a long time.
Besides, even if he died, he had to add fire and smoke it into a dry corpse.
He silently increased his firepower, and he specially prepared a lot of dry branches.
……
Inside the cave.
Cai Lao silently ambushed with the turtle breath technique he learned when he was young, and he was able to turn his passive into active just by waiting for the thief outside to come in and investigate his life and death.
But the people outside were more cautious than he expected, and the smoke outside the cave was still pouring in.
Cai Lao's eyes were calm and not discouraged.
He only dabbled in the turtle breath technique, and he couldn't achieve the effect of not breathing for three days with just one breath, which was almost fake death.
If the kid doesn't come in within half an hour, he will really suffocate inside.
Fortunately, he had observed when he came in that the dead branches and leaves at the entrance of the cave were definitely not enough to burn for half an hour, and as long as the man left for a short time, he could push away the big rocks that stood in his way.
The other is the disciples of the Aquila Gate who brought him.
If you find that he has not returned for a long time, you can only make a little movement along the way, and you can also create a chance for him to escape.
In a seemingly hopeless situation, his vitality has not been cut off.
Cai Lao tried his best to calm his emotions and put himself in the calmest state.
As an old Jianghu who has practiced martial arts for 60 years and walked on the rivers and lakes of Liangzhou for 30 years, he has faced life and death several times.
He got through it.
This time, he believed that it would be no exception, and that he would make the boy pay the most painful price.
As he expected, the two disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect did not delay for long, and they quickly found them.
The two of them were shocked when they saw the smoke rising into the sky from a distance, and Jiang Yi standing at the entrance of the cave.
"Where's Old Cai?"
Brother Gao's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but get closer, wanting to see more clearly.
The young man who led the way was thoughtful.
"The Red King is guarding the entrance of the cave, and there are big stones blocking it, it could be that Cai Lao is locked inside, and he wants to smoke Cai Lao to death with thick smoke."
Brother Gao said in a low voice: "Brother, let's save Cai Lao." ”
"How can I save it?" The young man asked rhetorically, "Brother Gao, the Red King is very strong, how can we be opponents." I think we'd better go back and move the rescuers. ”
Brother Gao nodded: "Brother Gaojian, go!" ”
The two turned their heads and left, and did not make any noise as Cai Lao thought.
After all, Cai Lao's life is fate, and the lives of their brothers are also fate.
You can't throw away their young lives for the sake of an old man.
It's just that this place is more than 30 kilometers away from the city, even if they have practiced martial arts, their physique is strong, and their feet are fast, it takes four or five hours to go back and forth.
At that time, Cai Lao's ashes were cold.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Cai Lao, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, finally flashed a trace of anxiety in his eyes.
"Damn it!"
"A group of gangsters, you really can't be gullible."
The foot of the mountain is more than two miles away, and even if he climbs here, he should have climbed here, but he didn't hear the slightest movement.
The two must have seen that the situation was not good and ran away.
Luckily, the smoke at the entrance of the cave was getting lighter and lighter, and fresh air began to flow in, apparently running out of fuel outside.
And although a few large stones can block the entrance to the cave, they cannot completely block the circulation of air.
Since the Red King was able to set a trap in advance, he had obviously already noticed that someone was following him, and if he dared to spend time here with him, the people of the Heavenly Aquila Gate would find him sooner or later.
So time is on his side.
Cai Lao's ears fell to the ground, listening intently to the movement outside.
Finally, the hard work paid off.
There was the sound of footsteps far away.
But he didn't move until his footsteps were tens of meters away.
Cai Lao spit out a mouthful of turbid air, let out a loud cry, his qi and blood penetrated his whole body, and he pushed the big stone at the entrance of the cave with all his strength.
Boom!!
The boulder rolls down, and the hole is rediscovered.
Cai Lao rushed out of the hole with lightning speed, the clothes on his body were already soaked, and the wide black robe was lying on his stomach softly.
He lifted the hood of his black robe, revealing an old face.
While breathing in the fresh air, he looked at Jiang Yi with an extremely tyrannical look.
"Little thief, the old man won't let you die easily, I'm going to put you on the fire, let you watch your flesh ripen piece by piece, and let you wail and die in pain!"
His look of resentment, coupled with his thin and old appearance, is really like a hellish ghost.
Jiang Yi was indeed going to pick up some dry firewood again, although he was already eighty percent sure in his heart that this old guy was dead.
But that's just out of prudence.
After all, it was smoked in a sealed environment by thick smoke for nearly half an hour, and it was damned.
But I didn't expect this old guy's vitality to be so tenacious.
However, Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Cai Lao's panting appearance.
"Old thing, how much strength do you have left?"
"Old dog, suffer death!"
He did not retreat but advanced, and brazenly palmed!
