Although Liangzhou is located in the east, it belongs to the city of the junction of the four parts, to the east can pass Youzhou, to the north also borders Mocheng, to the south can reach the Chijiang River, and its west is directly to the Central Plains.

A hundred miles to the west, you can already see the boundary of Qingzhou.

Therefore, Chang'an and Zhuang Sleeve Yu did not stop for a night, but they were already close to the border of Liangzhou.

April 18, early in the morning.

"Phew!"

Zhuang sleeves are jade, and the sweat on his face is like a bean

"Brother Chang, let's take a break."

Chang An in front also stopped, looked at Zhuang Zhiyu, who was panting like a cow, and couldn't help but smile

"Okay."

"However, since we're out, let's change our usual name."

Zhuang sleeve jade pouted, frowned, and thought hard for a while

"Then what should I call you?"

Chang An thought for a moment

"You can call me sir."

Zhuang sleeves stretched between his eyebrows, and made a gesture towards Chang An

"Yes, sir."

"It's just sir, why are we in such a hurry, is there something happening in Liangzhou?"

Chang An took off the wine bag from the horse, took two sips, and said pointedly

"Drink some water and rest for a while, when I get to Liangzhou, I'm afraid it's not so easy."

Zhuang Zhiyu was just about to answer, but at this moment, a breeze blew, Chang An's face changed, and his right ear trembled.

With his internal skills at this time, his ear power is far better than back then, and in an instant, the faint sound of breaking the air hidden in the breeze will never escape his hearing.

His eyes turned cold, and in an instant, he immediately turned over and jumped up, jumping over the top of Zhuang Zhiyu's head, and at the same time, above the two fingers of his right hand, the internal force of the grandmaster-level fluctuated, and he was already ready to move.

"Dang!"

The sound of collision as crisp as metal echoed in Zhuang Zhiyu's ears.

Only then did Zhuang Zhiyu react, and turned his head to look, but saw that the space outside Chang An's body was slightly distorted, as if there was some invisible qi wall slowly unfolding outside his body.

And the terrifying power from Chang An's fingertips was an eye-opener for her.

The finger power of the pen is only the tip of the iceberg, and in front of Chang An, the flying knife that flashes with fierce light can no longer enter an inch of land.

Although that flying knife was sharp, it was just an ordinary iron product, and with Chang An's internal strength now, if he couldn't break through the qi wall outside his body, it would be difficult to pose any threat to him.

Chang An's face was grim, and he gently pinched the flying knife with two fingers and put it in his sleeve.

"Come out."

Not far from the official road, there is a river, and between the river and the official road, there are tall reeds.

In the reeds swaying in the wind, there was a very discordant black, and the black kept pushing away the reeds and moving forward, and after a few breaths, the black pierced through the reeds and came to the official road.

It was a man in black, very short, and his voice was very immature

"It is worthy of Grandmaster Chang'an."

Chang An frowned, whether it was his voice, his figure, or his clear eyes under the black clothes, it all showed that this was just a child of about ten years old.

"Twelfth floor?"

The man in black nodded slightly, although his voice was very immature, whether it was the tone of his speech or the emotion in his eyes, it could show that he was an extremely confident person.

"You can take my knife, you do have two blows."

Chang An smiled, facing a child, he really couldn't treat the other party as an enemy.

"Since I have a March appointment with the twelfth floor, why do I have to do it?"

The man in black laughed

"Hahaha, I just want to see if Chang'an, who is famous all over the world, is in vain."

Before the words fell, the man in black moved, and three flying knives flew out of his sleeve, Chang An saw that he was unrelenting, he shook his head helplessly, and the wall of internal strength was stimulated.

Seeing this, the man in black sneered

"Stupid, since I know that ordinary blades can't hurt you, how can I do useless work again."

But hearing the sound of stabbing, the flying knife easily cut through Chang An's internal strength wall, Chang An was shocked, which really caught him unexpected, seeing that the flying knife was about to hit his face, the left chest and atrium, and the dantian.

The man in black laughed loudly when he saw this

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect Grandmaster Chang An to be so vulnerable."

But before he could be happy for too long, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, but he heard the flying knife shoot straight out of the distance, and then fell to the ground, on the stone slab of the official road, making a sound of metal colliding.

But Chang An still stood in front of him with a good look, looking at him with a smile.

"Impossible!"

The man in black couldn't believe what he saw

"How did you do it!"

Chang An smiled

"I don't know whether to say that I was lucky, or if you were too unlucky, it just so happened that I once had a friend who had a very good body, and you did catch me off guard, but unfortunately, it was still a little bit worse."

As he spoke, Chang An shouted without waiting for the man in black to react

"Xiaoyu, take my sword!"

Behind her, Zhuang Zhiyu reacted quickly and drew a long sword from Chang An's horse beside her.

"Wow!"

The long sword threw a dazzling light in the air, and Chang An took it steadily.

Seeing this, the man in black looked uncertain

"The Sword of the Sword God?"

Chang An said lightly

"You have the privilege of being the first sword revenant since it entered the world."

With that, he raised his sword and stabbed at the man in black, his expression changed greatly, and he didn't have time to think about it, he quickly flew away, and instantly disappeared into the reeds.

"Chang An, this time I was careless, I didn't expect you to even learn the snow treading without a trace light skill of the king of thieves, next time, I will take your head!"

The voice became farther and farther away, and Zhuang Zhiyu's face was anxious

"Sir, he's going to run."

But Chang An just stood there before meeting, and after a while, he fell to the ground.

Zhuang Zhiyu was in a hurry, hurriedly dismounted, and galloped to Chang An's side

"Sir, what's wrong with you!"

Chang An's face was pale, red blood stains slowly spread on his chest, looking at the two flying knives that fell to the ground on the official road behind him, and touched the flying knife that was inserted in his chest, and said with a wry smile

"It's okay, it didn't hurt my heart."

Zhuang Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw the wound on Chang An's chest, he still couldn't let go

"Sir, you rest for a while."

Chang An nodded, he slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to exercise pranayama.

While exercising, he still has lingering palpitations about the thrilling scene just now.

At that time, if it weren't for the fact that he really had the light skill of stepping on the snow without a trace taught by Jia Li, this battle would have been really unimaginable.

Even so, when the flying knives broke through the wall of his body's protective qi, the three flying knives were only two feet away from him, even if he reacted at the first time, he could only dodge the first two knives, and the last one could not be avoided no matter what.

But he could only pretend that he was not injured, and he sealed the wound on his chest with internal force at the first time, so as not to cause it to attack immediately.

Before the man in black had time to find out whether he had really dodged the flying knife, he first disturbed his judgment with words, and then let Xiao Yu show the sword of the sword god as quickly as possible to deter the other party, so that he could still force the other party back when he was suspicious.

After half a pillar of incense, Chang An slowly opened his eyes, his breathing had become stable, although the injury could not heal quickly, but that breath was relieved.

"Xiaoyu, bring me those two flying knives."

Zhuang Zhiyu rushed over and quickly handed the two flying knives to Chang An.

"Sir, give."

Chang An took the flying knife, and took out the first flying knife shot by the man in black from his sleeve, and compared it carefully, and found that the three flying knives shot by the man in black for the second time were indeed much sharper than the first flying knife, and they were as smooth as new, and even the handle of the knife was much smoother than the first one.

"Good knives."

Chang An looked at the two flying knives and couldn't help but admire.

Zhuang Zhiyu was puzzled

"Doesn't that just look new, what's the difference?"

Chang An said

"The materials are different."

As he spoke, the true qi of his fingertips emanated slightly, and lightly tapped on the blade of the first flying knife.

"Wow!"

The blade was pointed at by Chang An and bent over.

Zhuang Zhiyu exclaimed

"That's amazing!"

Chang An coughed lightly twice, his lips turned white for a while, obviously, his current state was not suitable for excessive mobilization of internal force, but after a while, the internal force gathered at his fingertips again

"Look at these two again."

His fingertips were on the two flying knives, but something magical happened, the internal force spread several times in the ripples of the flying knife blade, and the blade kept trembling, but it was unscathed.

Zhuang Zhiyu exclaimed again

"This, what material is so magical!"

Chang An coughed heavily, a feeling of powerlessness came over him, and his voice was weak

"It should be Darksteel."

Zhuang Sleeve Yu looked at Chang An with twinkling eyes and asked suspiciously

"This dark iron is so powerful."

Chang An nodded

"The amount of dark iron is scarce, it is basically the material used by the palace, and there are only a few pieces of dark iron circulating on the rivers and lakes."

Zhuang Zhiyu quipped

"Since this Xuantie is so scarce, that guy casually threw three Xuantie Flying Knives, wouldn't it be heartache to death."

Chang An also raised the corners of his mouth

When it comes to life and death, he can't care so much. Just ......"

"Just what?"

"This knife is new."

Zhuang Zhiyu felt a pain in his head and said in distress

"What's new about it?"

Chang An saw her stupid and naïve, and shook her head helplessly

"He's a killer, and definitely a veteran, so if it's a commonly used throwing knife, how can it look so new, you see that this other flying knife is obviously a lot older, and there are a lot of traces of use on the handle."

"It can only be said that this dark iron was obtained by him not long ago and turned into a weapon."

Zhuang Zhiyu was puzzled

"So what's going on?"

Chang An coughed twice more and continued

"What I didn't understand at first was that I had a March appointment with the twelfth floor, and in that case, they shouldn't have come at me, which only meant that he happened to be here. Since he appeared here, it means that he happened to be here after his mission. ”

Zhuang Zhiyu suddenly opened up and answered first

"Oh! I know, when he was on that mission, he got the dark iron, and then made them into throwing knives, but the throwing knives were not covered up before they met us. ”

Chang An nodded and smiled

"The dark iron in this world is basically owned by the royal family, so what task will it be possible to get the dark iron?"

Zhuang Sleeve Yuhu said suspiciously

"A mission related to the Imperial Palace?"

Immediately, she suddenly understood

"He killed the people of the palace!"

Chang An looked at Zhuang Zhiyu and smiled with satisfaction

"To be exact, it is to kill the forbidden army, because most of the dark iron in the palace is also used to create weapons for the forbidden army, he probably snatched the weapons of the forbidden army, and then made them into flying knives, but I don't know how many such flying knives he has created."

Speaking of this, Zhuang Zhiyu has a new problem

"Sir, even if we know this, what about it?"

Chang An's heart was torn again, and he grinned in pain, and beads of sweat were already covering his forehead.

"Sir!"

Zhuang Zhiyu looked anxious, constantly checking the injury on Chang An's chest.

Chang'an's breath was a little messy

"I can still bear it, rest for a while, and then hit the road."

After another stick of incense, Chang An slowly got up, his face was still pale, but he already had some strength.

Seeing this, Zhuang Zhiyu hurriedly helped him.

Chang An waved his hand

"It's okay, let's hurry up, it's only half an hour's road from Liangzhou."

Although Zhuang Zhiyu was worried about Chang An's body, there was no point in stopping here at this time, so he could only nod and agree at the moment.

"Okay, I'll lead the horse."

A moment later, the two rode horses and galloped along the official road.

…………

At this time, in the east of Qingzhou City, in the inn.

Wang Huan's screams alarmed everyone in the inn.

The first to react were the subordinates who lived next door to Wang Huan.

Those five big and three rough men, only the moment they heard Wang Huan's voice, they rushed to the door of Wang Huan's house as quickly as possible.

"Wow!"

He kicked the door open, and a dozen or so men rushed in.

"Sir!"

As soon as they entered the house, everyone looked around the room, and at the same time, they all drew their swords, always ready to deal with emergencies.

It's just that when they saw Wang Huan, they were all dumbfounded.

Wang Huan was curled up in the corner of the bed at this time, looking at the bed with a frightened face, and on the bed where his delicate fingers were trembling, there was a black thing.

The group of men walked forward slowly, but the closer they got, the more they could see the black thing.

Hair?

They found that the black thing was hair, and an ominous premonition welled up in each of them.

When they actually walked to the bed, they finally saw that it was a complete human head!

But they are all battle-hardened people, and a single human head does not scare them.

The first one, with a calm expression, slowly raised the head

"I'm here to see who dares to play a prank here."

The men behind him also looked calm, but they still held their blades tightly, vigilantly probing all parts of the house, in case someone was hiding in the shadows and suddenly firing cold arrows.

But when the leader slowly turned the head, his gaze became extremely shocked, and then turned to anger.

"Grand Commander!"

He cried out, his face full of disbelief and his eyes burning with rage.

The men behind him were at first surprised at why he was calling the Great Commander, but when they all looked at the head, everyone fell silent

"Grand Commander!"

The head, its eyes looking forward in horror, its face distorted excessively, but they could still recognize it at a glance as the commander of the forbidden army they had been with day and night.

Qu Feng Zhi!

"Impossible!"

Wang Huan was shocked when he heard everyone's exclamations, he was too panicked because of the sudden appearance of the human head, and he didn't notice the face of the human head.

But by this time, he had already relieved his breath, but when he heard the cries of the crowd, he was frightened again.

"Impossible!"

Wang Huan couldn't stop shaking his head, unable to believe the facts in front of him.

According to the plan, he should meet Qu Fengzhi here, but now, why is there only Qu Fengzhi's head here?!

…………

At this time, Liangzhou City,

Since the early hours of the morning, a strange thing has happened.

When the soldiers defending the city opened the city gate, they found a bloody box, hanging quietly at the city gate.

The blood slowly dripped down the box, looking a little oozing.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers at the city gate hurried to the city lord's mansion to report.

Another officer and soldier wanted to take down the box, but when he walked outside the city gate, he found that on the official road not far away, there were several people from the rivers and lakes lying in wait here!

On the side of the official road, a cold arrow suddenly burst out and shot at the other side of the official road.

"Ugh!"

There was a stunned sound, it seemed that someone had been hit by an arrow!

The soldier was in a cold sweat, and there were people lying in ambush on both sides of the official road!

A breeze blew, and the tall weeds on both sides of the official road swayed in the wind, as if there was nothing.

The officers and soldiers felt a cold chill in their hearts, what was going on?

At this time, there were a lot of question marks in the hearts of the officers and soldiers, how could there be several corpses outside the city overnight!

And on both sides of the official road, who is in ambush?

The officers and soldiers slowly raised their heads again and looked at the bloody box that was swaying in the wind.

What kind of evil thing is this?
