Chapter 108: Clearing
The sharp sword cut through Jeeki's shirt and wounded Jeeki's shoulder, but it didn't kill Jeeki.
Blocking Chen Fan's sword was the arm guard hidden in the sleeve of the Peerless Shadow. This arm guard is made of dark iron, a treasure that the Absolute Shadow inadvertently obtained, with the Iron Arm Skill of the Absolute Shadow, the power is endless, but just now it can only save his life, if he hadn't been cautious and found someone coming in time, he would have died at this time. It's just that the person method came too quickly, so he still didn't reflect it for a while.
"Who are you?" The Shadow shouted.
Chen Fan didn't say anything, the sword style was changed, the splitting style, and the sword light urged by the Huixin Sword was divided into three sword shadows, and continued to attack the absolute shadow, and at the same time, the true element in the body was also rapidly decreasing.
The absolute shadow was shocked, the figure retreated sharply, Chen Fan performed the wind magic step under his feet, like a shadow, and at the same time did not avoid the loss of the true element, suddenly urged the true yuan, the sword in his hand soared, and swung towards the absolute shadow, the absolute shadow who was not in a hurry to dodge, only blocked two, but could not block the third one, and was split into two sections by the sword shadow.
When Chen Fan arrived, Nameless was shocked in his heart, such a fast body technique, sharp swordsmanship, Nameless's heart began to sink, but he did not give up hope, because he still had a soul chasing in front of him, and chasing souls was his hope, since the person who came came to save the soul chaser, as long as he could restrain the soul chasing, there was still hope. He didn't think about it, he decided to fight hard, and immediately urged his internal force, his palms were red, and he pounced on Chen Ying with a fit, he had to take down the soul chase before the Absolute Shadow was defeated.
But just when he was halfway down, a sword tip suddenly appeared in his chest, and he looked behind him in disbelief, but unfortunately before he could turn around, the person fell down and could not get up again.
The person who shot was not Chen Fan, but the one who took his life, when Chen Fan arrived, he knew that when it was time to choose, would he leave the Ghost Palace, or die? The high martial arts of the person who came was only seen in his life, so he chose the former without hesitation. And if you want to live, you must have a name, so when Nameless was attacking Chen Ying, his sword stabbed out without hesitation, asking for Nameless's life.
Chen Fan, who has spent a lot of true yuan, feels a little tired now, the splitting method is very powerful, and the light that is differentiated is not a phantom in illusion, but a sword with substantial power, the opponent must catch three at the same time in order to block this killing move, Chen Fan decided not to use this trick easily in the future, but in the situation just now, he can't help it.
Qi gathering type, among Chen Fan's twelve styles, the only one that can increase the true yuan when casting, this move is not to attack, but to absorb, absorb inward, you can absorb the spiritual power in the air into the body and use it for your own use, but unfortunately now there is poisonous smoke all around, Chen Fan thinks about it or forget it, the trouble in front of him is this sudden defection, while he kills the opponent, he also kills the killer of his companions, for this killer, is to kill, or not to kill? made Chen Fan hesitate.
"Lord, this is life." In any case, the defection just now was tantamount to helping himself, and Chen Ying, who was grateful, couldn't help but speak.
"Take your life under it, and you are willing to swear to follow your lord to the death." I immediately understood why the soul chasing dared to betray, and why he was desperately screaming just now, it turned out that he was counting on the person in front of him to save his life, and immediately knew that this was the critical moment to save his life, so he immediately knelt down and swore to Chen Fan.
"You get up first, since you are willing to follow, you have to do one thing first, if it is done, you will be my guard, if you can't do it, you will leave Jiangnan, help me find two things, when will I find it, when will I come back, how?"
"Thank you, Lord, for your command." Killing immediately changed the title to the same as chasing souls.
"The cloud stone that the soul chaser left in the Netherworld Temple has been recovered, and what you left in the Netherworld Temple must also be recovered."
"Yes, what my subordinates left in the Netherworld Temple is a crystal, an amethyst, the size of a finger, just ask the Lord to give his subordinates a little time, I will definitely track down the location of the Netherworld Temple and recapture the crystal."
"Good. The Nether Temple is a huge organization, do you know where its headquarters are? Or what are the clues? ”
"This, my subordinates once accidentally saw Nameless enter a teahouse in Wuyi Lane, called Drunken Wind House, after entering, I waited for a long time, and I didn't see it come out, it is likely to be a contact location in the Netherworld Temple, but it still needs to be confirmed."
"Very good. Cui Xue, how are you? Chen Fan saw that Li Ye was helping Cui Xue deal with his wounds, and asked with concern. At this time, Li Ye had already extinguished the smoke of Chai He.
"It's okay, thank you Lang Jun, it's just that I may not be able to participate in tonight's action." Cui Xue replied bitterly.
"It's okay, you can recuperate in peace."
Chen Fan looked at the somewhat bloody scene and continued: "What to do with these two corpses? So that people will never find it in the future. Which of you has a way? After speaking, he swept his gaze towards everyone.
"Find a place to bury it, you can bury it deeper in the forest." Deadly said.
"Not far from here is the Yangtze River, and you can also sink your body to the bottom of the river." Soul Chaser added on the side.
It's a pity that he still didn't hear the news of the corpse water, Chen Fan said with a little regret: "Li Ye, you two stay, clean up the scene, Cui Xue, Chen Ying, you and I go to meet Han Qian, there is a carriage, you can rest." Also, the smoke just now is poisonous, Li Ye, you give a detoxification pill to kill you. As for Chen Fan himself, he had already taken it in advance.
"Yes, Lang Jun." Li Ye agreed.
An hour later, in a deserted forest, there was a carriage parked, fortunately, the carriage was big enough, and there were six people crowded inside, it was Chen Fan, Cui Xue, Li Ye, Han Qian, Chen Ying, who had finished dealing with the scene. And Hou Feng stayed at the dock as planned, responsible for preparing for the departure of several people, and did not participate in this operation.
At this time, there was a pile of items on the floor of the carriage, which had been recovered from the dead people in the Nether Temple, and contained the things of the coachman.
Chen Fan, Cui Xue, and Chen Ying rushed to the carriage, and after meeting with Han Qian, they originally planned to interrogate the coachman, but they didn't expect the coachman's mouth to contain poison, but after he woke up, he committed suicide by taking poison, Chen Fan had to let Han Qian and Li Ye go to dispose of the corpse together, and finally several people buried the corpse in the depths of the forest, mainly because Shen Jiang did not bring sacks, ropes and other things that can be tied to the corpse, and the things at the bottom of the river were sinked, and finally chose to bury them.
"Cui Xue, you are not lightly injured today, first pick one thing from it." Looking at so many items, Chen Fan did not receive it from himself, but chose to share it with everyone.
"Thank you Lang Jun, it's just that I couldn't help Lang Jun today, this person was killed by Lang Jun, or Lang Jun should pick it first." Cui Xue excused.
"It's okay, the three of you are tired today, these things are all obtained by everyone's concerted efforts, birth and death, naturally share them together, you can start first, and then Li Ye and Han Qian."
"Thank you Lang-kun for that." Cui Xue thought about it, didn't shirk it again, and chose the arm guard from it.
Li Ye chose the antidote to the Soul Nail and Chen Fan saw it and gave him the Soul Nail as well.
Han Qian chose a horse whip, which was made of black iron wire, which could block sword soldiers and was expensive.
Instead, he chased the soul, chose the marble without hesitation, and then handed it to Chen Fan as if offering a treasure, and said: "This marble, I want to ask the lord to keep it, so that if the subordinates are gone, the lord can find me." ”
"Are you the Lord, or am I the Lord? Keep this marble for yourself. Remember, you are now my bodyguard, and in case I am gone, you need to find me in time. Also, if you disappear for no reason, you will be punished. ”
"Yes, Lord." Chen Ying looked aggrieved and put away the marble.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and I chose an unknown relic for my life, a dagger made of stainless steel.
There were many things left, including a compass, a scroll made of silk cloth, a small black crossbow with three small arrows made of dark iron, a steel knife, a long sword, a token, fifty taels of gold, and more than two hundred taels of silver. Most of these objects were on Tong Xiao's body, probably he didn't expect that he would die, so he brought the most things with him.
"Tracking!" Chen Fan opened the scroll in front of everyone, inside is the method of using the tracking technique, and in the blank space between the lines next to it, there is also the cultivation experience written by someone, it seems that it is the true book of learning the tracking technique in the past dynasties, and I don't know how, it was actually taken by Tong Xiao on his body, and it may have been taken out for reference during the casting process.
Chen Fan wasn't interested in learning the tracking technique, but he still put it away, then picked up the token and asked, "Who among you knows what this token is for?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, but they all said they didn't know.
The token may be a token in the Netherworld Temple, Chen Fan thought about it and took it with him, and took a small crossbow and a small arrow, this crossbow is only the size of a palm, but it has a very domineering name: Cloud Shooting Crossbow, Arrow Name: Cloud Piercing Arrow.
For these two things, because of the experience of the Huixin Sword, Chen Fan did not treat them as toys, but accepted them.
Chen Fan didn't plan to take the other things with him, but said to Chen Ying: "Chen Ying, you take these things and register them to make a book, as a reward for your actions in the future." ”
"This time, Cui Xue was injured due to his actions, and he was given five taels of silver as the cost of the decoction; Li Ye provided poison and antidote pills during the operation, the hidden weapons consumed by Han in the process of confronting the enemy, and the rest of you, if the expenses incurred in the operation, make a list and hand it to me, Chen Ying, you will use the list I signed for you in the future, and issue them silver taels, if you don't have enough money, tell me, and I will make up for it. ”
"Yes, thank you, Lord."
"Also, make a merit book, for the people of this operation, each person will be given five points of credit, and make an exchange table on the merit book, this time the exchange point for the long sword and steel knife is ten points, the "Tracking Technique" is fifty points, and the other point can be exchanged for one or two silver, and the items can only be paid with the exchange point, and they can be saved and not redeemed, but once exchanged, they cannot be returned."
"Then my lord, can I exchange five points of merit for five taels of silver this time?" Chen Ying looked at Chen Fan and asked with a glint in his eyes.
"Naturally. After you take five taels of silver, the merit points are zero, and you can't return the five taels of silver in exchange for five merit points in the future, if you want to get merit points, you can only get them in action. ”
"Understood." Chen Ying smiled happily.
"And this carriage, this is the property of the Netherworld, we can't keep it, disassemble it and sell it, the items you take, be careful not to use them in front of people, in case they are tracked." Chen Fan thought about it, but still reminded him.
"Yes." Everyone said they understood.
After dealing with these things, Chen Fan looked at everyone and saw that everyone was full of energy, knowing the reward just now, which mobilized everyone's enthusiasm. immediately said: "Tonight's operation, Cui Xue, Chen Ying, and death, the three of you are injured, so take care of your injuries." Li Ye and Han Qian will go with me. ”
