Chapter 11: The Final Test

Wu Zhan was not interested in the rest of the competition, and after watching Feng Fei's big victory over Xiong Si, Wu Zhan was worried about Qing'er in his heart, so he squeezed out of the crowd and looked for him outside the field.

In the past three years, Wu Zhan has never stepped out of this underground base, and he has long lost his impression of what the outside world is like, but he knows every inch of earth and rock, every flower and plant in this base, just like Qing'er, if he is in a bad mood, he will definitely go to the underworld.

Because today is the big exam, almost everyone went to the school field to watch, along the way Wu Zhan was unimpeded, turned a stone wall, and suddenly saw a familiar figure standing with his sword back to him, hat, black clothes, and long sword.

"Master?" Wu Zhan couldn't help but let out a low shout.

Dongfang Yun slowly turned around at this time, and after looking at the heroic martyr he brought back in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

I haven't seen each other for three years, and the little boy who used to cry bitterly because of the death of his parents has grown into a young man in the wind of Yushu.

"Master, it's really you!"

Wu Zhan stepped forward happily, first saluted Dongfang Yunshen, and then said excitedly: "I thought you left me here alone and stopped caring about me......

"Silly boy, the master has a task on his side, so naturally he can't be with you all the time." Dongfang Yun's voice was still calm.

"But you haven't come to see me all these years." Wu Zhan said aggrievedly, in his opinion, after the death of his parents, Dongfang Yun was his only relative in this world.

"I haven't seen you for three years, how are your grades?" Dongfang Yun diverted the topic.

"Needless to say? Whether it's running, shooting, or hand-to-hand combat, I can do it all, and I've already made it to the big test just now. Wu Zhan was still acting like a child at this time.

Although Dongfang Yun has not been there in the past few years, he has frequently exchanged letters with other teachers, and he knows that all the teachers are opening a small stove for Wu Zhan, plus Wu Zhan himself has a very high understanding and is diligent in training, so all his achievements are naturally excellent.

"Do you think that's all you can do?" Dongfang Yun said lightly: "If you want to become a qualified Netherworld Guard, you are still far away!" ”

"Anything else to be assessed?" Wu Zhan asked curiously.

Dongfang Yun didn't say anything anymore, just handed the long sword that had never left his body all the year round in front of Wu Zhan, and said coldly: "You haven't really killed anyone, so naturally you can't be qualified." ”

"Who did the master ask me to kill?" Wu Zhan was a little afraid to look directly at the long sword handed over by the master in front of him.

"You go to the Pool of Hades and kill 119." Dongfang Yun's voice was like an ice pick, instantly piercing Wu Zhan's hot chest.

"What?" Wu Zhan exclaimed when he heard this: "Why is this? ”

"If it weren't for your secret help, with the strength of No. 119, it would be impossible to pass the selection of the Netherworld, and such a person would only ruin the name of the Netherworld." Dongfang Yun said coldly, without a trace of emotion in his voice.

Wu Zhanru was stunned on the spot when he was struck by lightning.

"What? Do you want to disobey my orders? Or are you unable to do it? Dongfang Yun asked coldly.

"If you want to kill an innocent woman just for the name of a Nether Guard, I'm sorry master, I can't do it." Wu Zhan knelt down on one knee and arched his hand.

"Do you know how important the name of the Nether Guard is? It was forged with the lives and blood of countless of our brothers. Dongfang Yun pulled out his long sword with a bang, put it on the side of Wu Zhan's neck, and said fiercely.

"Please forgive the apprentice for not being able to do it, master, you can kill me." Wu Zhan turned a blind eye to the coldness that came from his neck.

The air on the field instantly stopped, and it felt suffocating.

After a while, Dongfang Yun suddenly put his sword into the sheath, turned around and said with a long smile: "What a good apprentice with affection and righteousness, but you remember that in the future, as a Netherworld Guard, being benevolent and emotional, will only make you die faster!" ”

When Wu Zhan heard that the master didn't really want to kill Qing'er, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, and was about to thank him, but he heard Dongfang Yun continue: "From today onwards, come to the school to find me every day!" ”

After all, he walked away without looking back.

What a strange little old man! Wu Zhan got up and muttered, and then walked towards the Underworld.

Located at the east entrance, the pond is a pond naturally formed by an underground river, because it is shrouded in water vapor all the year round, and because of the dim light, the pond water looks pitch black from afar, so it gets its name.

At this time, Qing'er was sitting alone on a boulder by the pool, her beautiful face reflecting the pool water, looking otherworldly.

Wu Zhanxin said that this little girl had a big temper, and was about to step forward, when she suddenly saw two black-clothed people jumping out of the pool like ghosts, one left and one right restrained Qing'er, and before Qing'er could react, one of them knocked her unconscious.

"What people!" Wu Zhan shouted loudly when he saw this, and rushed towards Qing'er at full speed.

One of the men in black picked up Qing'er and ran towards the cave door, while the other man in black turned around and drew his sword and broke back.

"Who are you? How dare you make a mistake here! Between two breaths, Wu Zhan had already rushed in front of the man in black, who was in the air, and the dagger in his hand had already stabbed out with lightning and slashed straight at the other party's throat.

I saw that the man in black was not in a hurry, and raised his sword to block.

"When"

There was a clash of gold and iron, and the man in black took three steps back with his sword before standing firm, looking at the strength of the young man in front of him differently for the first time.

"If you are brave enough, you will chase it!" The man in black didn't fight, he turned around and ran towards the cave door.

Wu Zhan saw that Qing'er had already been taken out of the cave, and hurriedly chased after the figure in black.

The two of them tossed and turned, fast as the wind, and several ups and downs had already come to the entrance of the cave, only to see the man in black stretch out his hand and turn the torch inserted in the wall, and the door of the cave opened in response, and jumped out of the cave.

Although Wu Zhan wondered why the other party was so familiar with opening the cave door, now that Qing'er was captive, he couldn't care about anything else, and immediately chased after the man in black.

"Click"

The stone gate suddenly closed behind him, and the corridor suddenly fell into darkness, and before Wu Zhan could react, a long sword was already against his throat, and the coldness coming from the tip of the sword was desperate.

"Whirring ......"

The torches in the corridor lit up one after another, and Wu Zhan saw clearly that he was being controlled by the man in black.

"Throw away your weapon!" The man in black ordered, with a slight increase in his hand, and the tip of the sword had already pierced the skin between Wu Zhan's throat.

"Dangchang"

As soon as Wu Zhan let go, the dagger fell to the ground, and the sound echoed in the corridor.

"Who are you?" Wu Zhan asked.

"Hahaha......"

The man in black smirked: "It seems that you haven't figured out the situation yet, now that you are my captive, what qualifications do you have to ask me who I am?" ”

Immediately, his eyes were cold, and two sharp gazes shot at Wu Zhan's immature face, only to hear the man in black ask in a cold voice: "If you want to live, tell me what kind of place this is?" How many people are there? Who is the leader? How is it armed? Say it! ”

Bright red blood slid down Wu Zhan's throat, it seems that this man in black is friend or foe, and he wants to find out the information of the base through me.

"You don't want to get any information from me, kill me!" Thinking about this, Wu Zhan closed his eyes and begged for death.

The man in black didn't expect that the young man in front of him was a hard bone, and then took out two ingots of gold from his bosom and said temptingly: "You are still very young, and there are still many good times waiting for you to enjoy, as long as you tell me what you want, these two ingots of gold are yours." ”

Looking at the yellow and clear gold in the hands of the man in black, Wu Zhan couldn't help but think of his father, and then sneered: "Hard can't you want to come soft?" Hahaha, master, am I a greedy person for money? ”

Seeing that he was still unmoved, the man in black withdrew the gold, and suddenly held the long sword upside down, the horizontal sword was on the side of Wu Zhan's neck, and at the same time reached out and grabbed his collar, the tips of the noses of the two were almost touched, only to hear him say fiercely: "Don't forget that confidante of yours is still in our hands, if you don't tell me everything you want to know, hum, what will happen to her?" ”

"You ......" Wu Zhan's eyes were full of anger when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to pounce on him and bite him twice.

"How? Even if you don't think about yourself, don't you think about her? The man in black pressed step by step.

"You're so despicable!" Wu Zhan turned his head and scolded, then closed his eyes, and said, "If you want to kill, kill it, the two of us happen to have a companion on Huangquan Road!" ”

"The stinky boy is so ruthless?" The man in black was a little surprised.

"Hmph, today, I fell into your hands, and if you want to kill or kill you, you can do whatever you want, but don't forget, this is the hinterland of the Qin Kingdom, and you don't want to be able to escape." Wu Zhan raised his eyelids and glared at him.

"Boy, isn't there anything in this world that you care about?" The man in black was still unwilling.

"My only regret is that I can't avenge my parents, father, mother, the child is sorry for you." Wu Zhan shouted into the air.

Seeing that the man in black still didn't make a move, Wu Zhan glanced at him and said disdainfully, "What are you waiting for?" ”

The man in black returned the sword into the sheath, took off the black scarf on his face, and said with a smile: "You are worthy of Dongfang Yun's apprentice, okay, you have passed the test." ”

Wu Zhan was very surprised when he heard this, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "Test? Who are you? ”

The man in black smiled and said, "I am your senior, and I was invited by your master to test your loyalty. ”

"That Qing'er ......," Wu Zhan couldn't help but ask.

"How well the girl is cultivated depends on whether she can pass this ultimate test." After the man in black finished speaking, he reopened the stone door and took the lead towards the cave.

Wu Zhan looked at the end of the road, but there was still no one, so he had to follow the man in black into the base.

In the spacious and bright hall, there are five people lined up at this moment, namely Wu Zhan, Qing'er, Peng Liang, Ling Feng and Feng Fei.

There were more than 20 people sitting on both sides of the hall, on one side was Wu Zhan's more familiar teaching, Dongfang Yun was present, and on the other side were all people who didn't know him, among them was the man in black who had tested Wu Zhan, that person had already changed back into a samurai uniform, and at this moment he was drinking hot tea without a sip, and when he saw Wu Zhan looking at him, he didn't forget to wink at him.

There were two empty chairs opposite the five of them, presumably reserved for the chief and deputy commanders.

"I'm glad you passed the final test too." Wu Zhan looked ahead and said in a low voice.

Qing'er, who was standing beside him, smiled slightly and replied, "I'm still worried that you won't be able to stand the test, and it seems that you haven't disappointed me either." ”

"You two don't flatter each other, didn't you say that you finally chose twelve people as the Nether Guards? Why are there only a few of us left? Where did everyone else go? Peng Liang couldn't help but ask, his eyes full of worry and doubt.

Ling Feng was also worried when he heard this: "The sissy is right, I don't think this matter is simple!" ”

Feng Fei, who has never spoken much, had a frosty face, and a pair of phoenix eyes flashed: "It's not appropriate to say more, act when you have the opportunity!" ”
