Chapter 106: Pursuit
Why is it normal? Because the soul chasing did not shoot according to the martial arts of the past, but used the newly learned killing move, the killing move learned from Chen Fan: Splitting Light Sword Shadow.
This trick was obtained by begging Chen Fan for guidance on swordsmanship. After Chen Fan saw his sword moves, he created it according to his own sword moves, combined with the illusion technique in the great movement of the universe in his palm, and called the Light Splitting Sword Shadow.
If you talk about confusing the opponent's sword shadow, Chen Ying's soft sword, the shaking of the sword body and the vibration of the sword style, the sword shadow that is differentiated is even far above Chen Fan's 12 light splitting style, of course, the actual power is much weaker, after all, there are only many sword shadows, and the idea is to use it to confuse the opponent, if you meet a master of divine consciousness and are not confused by illusion, the power of the sword technique will be greatly weakened, and the sword shadow of Chen Fan's splitting light style is transformed by Jian Qi, and the power is naturally much greater. However, Chen Ying's splitting sword shadow was enough to deal with life-taking, but this sword did not kill life.
When Chen Ying was about to stab to kill him, his heart softened, and he changed the sword that was supposed to be stabbed into the heart of death to stab into his left shoulder. If he assassinated him as soon as he took his life, and wanted to take his life, he would naturally not be soft-hearted, but he didn't, so Chen Ying relented, and the price of soft-heartedness was injury. At the moment when he pierced into the life, the killing was not to hide, but to be close, to bully and get close, he wanted to exchange his life for his life.
After seeing Chen Ying's swordsmanship, he knew that he couldn't dodge, no wonder the three kills would die, and he had a realization in his heart, so after seeing this move, he didn't think about how to hide, but how to die, how to let the other party die with him, this sword may fall in his throat, maybe it will fall in his heart, and the chance of dying with the enemy is not great, but he still has to fight, as a killer, it is inevitable that he will die in battle, this realization he has already had, if he can die with the enemy, it is the best destination.
When Chen Ying's sword only pierced his left shoulder, he was stunned, but the sword in his hand was still stabbed out, this sword condensed the last glory of his life, condensed the tragedy that never returned, and when his consciousness wanted to take it back, he couldn't control the sword momentum, and in the sword, chasing souls was injured! Fortunately, at the last moment, he withdrew his internal strength, but he still injured the soul chaser, also his left shoulder.
"I'm tired!" After dropping these words, Chen Ying, who was wounded, galloped towards the dock, not even bandaging the wound in a hurry, because he had a hunch that the pursuers were approaching, and he had to catch up with the boat before the enemy came.
Standing in place, looking at the tip of the blood-dripping sword, all of a sudden, it seemed to understand the weariness of the soul chasing for the killer career, and understood why he left the Netherworld Temple, how to know if he didn't try? The seed quietly took root in his heart.
Just as he was tending to his wounds, a figure suddenly appeared next to him.
"You're hurt?"
Although the question was a matter of concern, his voice was cold and without the slightest emotion. It was a spirit that killed him, and he immediately stood up straight and returned respectfully: "Yes, but the soul chasing is more injured than me." ”
The person who came was Nameless, followed by a carriage, it turned out that Nameless saw the death, performed light skills, and rushed over first.
"What about others?"
"Went to the docks."
"Get in the carriage." After saying that, Nameless jumped into the carriage first.
He didn't rush to kill him, and he didn't care about the wounds that had not been completely healed, so he immediately performed light skills and jumped up.
The galloping carriage, ignoring the two people who got on the carriage, not only did not slow down in the slightest, but accelerated its speed and rushed towards the dock.
The wharf of Zhenjiang is docked with a five-masted sailing ship about ten zhang long, this ship is a merchant ship bound for Jiankang, not only transporting goods, but also transporting people, the merchant ship has received a springboard, is preparing to set sail.
There were a lot of pedestrians on the deck who went to Jiankang, and Hou Feng was one of the pedestrians on this deck. At this time, he was anxiously looking in the direction of the entrance to the dock.
Suddenly, a familiar figure entered his line of sight, it was the slightly embarrassed Chen Ying, who had already collected his sword, covered his left shoulder with his right hand, and rushed here with light skills.
"Boatman, pull the sails!" Hou Feng didn't wait for Chen Ying to get on the boat, and shouted loudly. You must know that this distance is nothing to a martial arts master, and the time for the sail to be pulled up is enough for Chen Ying to jump on the boat.
"Okay, hoist the sails!" When the boatman heard the greeting, he immediately shouted.
This merchant ship generally departs at noon every day and arrives in Jiankang at the time of Shen, but there are always accidents in everything, such as the weather, such as the delay in the loading time, in order to prevent these accidents from happening, Chen Fan calculated all kinds of possibilities.
Hou Feng's early arrival at this port is a part of preventing accidents. Two days ago, Hou Feng assumed the name Wang Lin, and made a secret deal with the boss of the ship, which was the time of departure at noon today, and after listening to his greeting, he immediately set sail, and set sail quickly, for which he gave two hundred Wen as a reward.
In addition, Hou Feng also negotiated a sampan boat by the river, the kind that can carry two or three people, in case the situation changes, the merchant ship can be used to the center of the river, and Hou Feng can take a small boat. The transactions were carried out in secret, and hush money was given in case of leaks.
When Chen Ying jumped on the boat, Nameless and the others just arrived at the dock and saw this scene.
"Boatman, do you know where that merchant ship is heading?" Nameless asked the boatman of a small boat on the shore.
"Sail to Jiankang."
"How did you know for sure?" After listening to the boatman's answer, Nameless, who was suspicious by nature, asked.
"This merchant ship departs at this time every day, going back and forth between Jiankang and Zhenjiang, so I know it."
"Very well, you take me with you." After speaking, he took out a tael of silver from his bosom and threw it over.
The boatman, who wanted to refuse, saw the two pieces of silver, and immediately changed his words: "Guest officer, please get on the boat." ”
"You guys take a carriage to Jiankang Wharf to intercept him, this chasing soul is injured, this time let him run away, it will be difficult to chase him in the future."
"Yes." Although there were three people in the car, the only one who answered the nameless words was death.
The driver of the carriage immediately turned the head of the carriage and drove the carriage along the official road on the shore towards Jiankang.
Nameless jumped on the boat, boarded the boat, and was far away on the merchant ship. The speed of the boat is normally much slower than that of the merchant ship, but there is no name on the boat, and occasionally a slap or two at the river, which makes the boat speed up a lot. But Nameless didn't plan to catch up immediately, it was inconvenient to do it on the boat, and in case the soul chaser ventured into the river, it might be difficult to solve it in the short term, he didn't want to take the risk, this incident, for him, must be solved as soon as possible.
With the assistance of the masters of the Jedi Temple and the Shadow Hall, if he let the soul chaser escape again, then he will not face the wrath of the main hall, but death.
In a cabin on a merchant ship, Chen Ying was healing his wounds, and the sword that killed him stabbed deeply, but fortunately, he let go of the vital parts, only stabbed on his left shoulder, took the good wound medicine prepared by Hou Feng, and after bandaging the wound, he basically controlled the injury, but it was still a little inconvenient to do it with people.
"It's going to be Jiankang in a while, and there's a small boat following behind, so get ready." It was not far from Jiankang Wharf, Hou Feng came in and reminded.
"Okay." Hou Feng picked up a package in the cabin and walked to the deck.
Nameless has been following behind the merchant ship, seeing that the merchant ship is getting closer and closer to Jiankang Wharf, his heart is not only steady, as long as the soul is chased ashore, there are people from the main hall in front of him to intercept it, and there is his own pursuit behind, and its wings will not escape. If you capture him alive, you have to let him taste what it is to survive and die, Nameless thought viciously in his heart.
Seeing that the dock was imminent, Nameless not only sped up the speed of the small boat, but also moved towards the merchant ship. Suddenly, among the merchant ships on the opposite side, someone threw a few planks and landed on the river between the merchant ship and the shore, at this time the merchant ship was already very close to the wharf, only one or two hundred meters away, in order to enter the wharf, the distance between the ship and the shore was also very close, but only twenty or thirty meters.
Needless to say, it was Chen Ying who threw the plank, and the plank was prepared in advance, and going ashore in advance to disrupt the other party's deployment was also part of the plan in advance.
Nameless realized that something was wrong, and immediately slapped his palm on the water, and the boat suddenly rushed towards the merchant ship like an arrow from the string. On the merchant ship, a man jumped down, stepped on the plank, and in a flash, he had already landed.
Nameless followed and stepped on the plank and jumped ashore, at this time Chen Ying was already more than thirty meters away from the shore, not far from Chen Ying, there was a forest, as long as he entered the woods, with the ability of the killer to hide, even if Nameless, it was not easy to catch up.
Nameless was in a hurry, let out a long howl, and notified the people who were intercepting at the dock to come, and at the same time, his right hand was raised violently, and an object flew out of Nameless's hand like a meteor and hit Chen Ying behind.
Hearing the sound of breaking the sky behind him, Chen Ying knew that something was wrong, his body flashed sharply, and he got out of the way to the left, and an object flew past Chen Ying and hit the ground, it was a nameless hidden weapon soul nail.
Nameless, the real soul of the Netherworld Temple killers, responsible for controlling the killer group, anyone who has seen his shot, who has heard his name, except for the people in the Netherworld, must die, so it is called "Nameless".
The nameless secret weapon is the soul nail, which is coated with poison, and if the middle one does not get the antidote within an hour, there is no cure.
After the soul nail is hit, Nameless does not expect to be hit, after all, it is a little far away from the soul chasing now, even if it is a nameless hidden weapon, it is so far away, it is exhausted, it is not difficult for the soul to dodge, fortunately, the purpose of Nameless is not to hit people, but to be able to block the soul chasing to escape into the woods, as long as he intercepts him before the soul chaser escapes into the woods, Nameless has the confidence to stay with him.
Chen Ying knew that time was precious, as long as he could escape into the forest, someone would pick him up, not far from the forest, there was a trap, as long as he could lead Nameless there, he could take Nameless's life, and the whole plan was called "killing flies".
Why is it called "killing flies"? Chen Ying asked this question, and the explanation given by Chen Fan at that time was to swatt the people of the Netherworld Temple to death like flies. In fact, Chen Fan was looking at Chen Ying at that time, thinking in his heart that there was only a thousand days to be a thief, how could there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, if the problem of the Netherworld Temple was not solved, and a person who could attract the killers of the Netherworld Temple at any time was placed next to him, then don't be too troubled, Chen Ying became a pile of shit in Chen Fan's eyes, and the Netherworld Temple became a fly, so there was the origin of "killing flies".
