Chapter 340: On the Broken Stream Gorge

The sound of the corpse falling to the ground could not be heard, but the man in black knew it.

Shen Tuhong is dead!

And now, the reason why he is safe and sound for the time being is that he has the opportunity to win for himself with his life.

Escape!

Be sure to run!

He didn't know if it was fear or anger that was in his heart right now.

Only the idea of 'escaping' is carried out throughout, and Shen Tuhong must not be allowed to die in vain.

But at this moment, a strong sense of crisis suddenly permeated his body.

He subconsciously stopped, looking ahead, the striker was pitch black, but his intuition told him that as long as he took another step, he would inevitably face great danger!

But when he wanted to adjust his direction and continue to run for his life.

But suddenly I realized......

Danger doesn't just come from the front, it comes from all directions.

Even under his own feet, in the shadows of the trees overhead!

Heaven and earth seem to have become a cage, weaving endless traps, waiting for their prey to take a step forward and be crushed to pieces.

But...... Staying here is also a dead end!

What to do!?

If you go forward, you will die, and if you go to the left and right, even to heaven and earth, there is no way to live.

The man in black didn't know what to do...... The huge fear gripped his heart, and he even forgot that this was a glimmer of life that Shen Tuhong used his life to win for himself.

I could only stand here in a daze, with big drops of sweat slowly flowing down little by little.

"It's right not to move forward."

Jiang Ran's voice came again.

The man in black had no accidents, only frustration.

He turned around silently and looked at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran's side is still two girls, one on the left and one on the right.

But these two girls, from the beginning to the present, have not spoken a word.

The man in black's gaze moved from Jiang Ran's face to his hand.

The wine gourd in his hand was gone, and he hung it around his waist.

Now he is carrying a human head in his hand......

Shen Tuhong's head!

The black-clothed man's pupils contracted suddenly:

"You cut off his head!"

"Before he died, he told me that I could do with the body.

"For someone like him, I tend to just take the head and the corpse...... Isn't there a corpse collector? ”

Jiang Ran chuckled: "If you think he's lonely, you can be a companion with him." ”

“……”

The man in black took a deep breath, and then looked at Jiang Ran with a strange look:

"I have always heard that Jiang Daxia is a rare righteous knight in this Jianghu.

But now it seems that it is not worthy of the name.

"Jiang Daxia's methods, even if they are evil demons, are far inferior."

"I can't argue with that."

Jiang Ran chuckled:

"So, are you afraid?"

How to answer this?

The man in black looked at Jiang Ran with a dark face, and simply didn't say a word.

He didn't speak, Jiang Ran had to say:

"Speaking of which, we have had a friendly exchange, but until now, I haven't asked your Excellency for your honorific name."

“…… My name is just a shadow, humble to the dust, even if Jiang Daxia is well-informed, he will never hear of it. ”

The man in black said lightly:

"At this point, there's not much more to say.

"Jiang Daxia is unwilling to join us, and our fate ends here.

"You want to kill me, but you want to pry my mouth open...... That's a fantasy. ”

"Okay."

Jiang Ran nodded lightly.

The man in black suddenly changed his face, and suddenly volleyed into the air, and two sword lights suddenly flew out from the darkness, but they turned in the air and sneered twice.

Instantly cut off the big tendons of the man in black's feet.

His figure slammed to the ground, and a muffled grunt came out of his mouth.

That's why Fang Cai felt so dangerous...... I'm afraid that in the shadows of this forest, I don't know how many such swords are hidden in the dark, as long as I take a step forward, I will be killed on the spot by this sword.

But when he looked at Jiang Ran, who was getting closer, he felt that he had probably missed the best opportunity to seek death.

A hand grabbed him by the back of the neck and lifted him from the ground:

"Let's go, let's change places a bit.

"I'll ask you a few more questions.

"Not a lot of problems...... I have to ask for your cooperation. ”

……

……

The place is not far away, but it is quite private.

Jiang Ran has never made a fire, but fortunately, Ye Jingshuang's internal cultivation has been successful, even if it is still far from the time of civilization, the night wind is cold, but it will not damage the good points.

As for Ye Jingxue, let alone that.

Liu Piao's internal force should not be faked after all.

Jiang Ran used the starlight to carefully bandage the legs of the black-clothed figure.

Half of the sentence on his face had been lifted.

Sure enough, as he said, none of the people present knew anyone.

He rubbed the side of his cheek, but there was no skin mask.

Jiang Ran finally gave up his plan to capture this person's true identity.

"What are you going to use in the Broken Stream Gorge?"

This was the first question Jiang Ran raised.

The man in black decides to become one with the darkness, can the darkness speak? Naturally he can't, so neither can he.

Jiang Ran waited quietly for a while, and finally sighed:

"You've become the kind of person I hate the most."

“……”

The man in black felt that this did not make sense, and he was tied up by him, and then he said that he hated himself......

I don't hate him yet!

This man is simply inexplicable.

Then he saw that Jiang Ran took out a small box from his arms, and after opening it, it was filled with ointment.

After the small wooden board was lightly scraped some, Jiang Ran told him about the role of this thing.

Hades is furious.

If you bring people back to life, but you don't enter the palace of Hades, how can Hades not be angry?

The expression of the man in black became ugly for a moment.

Jiang Ran comforted him:

"It's okay, it's going to be uglier in a while."

Holding a small scraper, he gently smeared the Hades Fury on the eyebrows of the man in black, Jiang Ran blew it, and waited for the medicinal effect to take effect, then he flicked his fingers.

The sound is clear, and it can be seen that it is a good head.

At this moment, the man in black had green tendons rising from the corners of his forehead and spreading to his neck, his face was full of red, and his teeth were bleeding.

But he still insisted on not saying a word.

Jiang Ran knew that most of the people in front of him had undergone quite rigorous training before he could be so tight-lipped.

This is different from ordinary Jianghu warriors.

Some of these masters, no matter how high their martial arts are, may not be able to endure the pain and torture.

Compared to the one in front of them, they often lack a captured lesson.

Fortunately, Jiang Ran has time to grind slowly with him.

And he is really impatient, and Ye Jingshuang and Ye Jingxue will take over.

But even so, it took nearly an hour before and after before this person could be regarded as opening his mouth.

"It's gunpowder......"

This answer is not unexpected.

Jiang Ran was not moved by this, but continued to ask:

"Where is all this gunpowder hidden?"

"It's ...... Between the mountain walls on both sides of the Broken Gorge, it was originally a back-hand move.

"What if...... If you can't turn the tiger away from the mountain, you have to live and die with the eldest princess...... Let's detonate this gunpowder, and the mountain walls on both sides will be stoned to death by thousands of huge stones. ”

The man in black said with a hideous face:

"I said it...... I've said it all, give me a good time. ”

"Nope."

Jiang Ran shook his head:

"You'll have to make me think again, there should be other questions for you.

"By the way, the person behind you is really the Martial Prince?"

"Yes!!"

"Lies?"

“…… It's true. ”

"It's even more fake."

Jiang Ran nodded, feeling a little embarrassed:

"This kind of thing can't be taken lightly after all, no matter who it is, it can be a catastrophe for people to fall to the ground.

"You said the three words Martial Lord so easily, it seems like you're dealing with me.

"And with the troubles...... After all, Lord Wu is really a target that can't be better.

"But in the same way, this can't rule out the possibility that you deliberately wanted to divert my attention from the Martial Prince.

"Well, in the final analysis, it's because I don't know enough about the set in the court.

"Looks like you're going to have to be asked someone else about this.

"Alright, that's all for today...... Frost, Shocking Snow, you help me do something.

"We're afraid we'll have to divide our troops into two ways."

Ye Jingshuang and Ye Jingxue glanced at each other, and nodded at the same time:

"Okay."

……

……

The time is before dawn.

Both sides of the Broken Gorge are already full of people.

It's a canyon, and it's also a road.

A necessary way back to the capital.

Some people in this realm also call it a ray of heaven.

Standing in the middle of the canyon and looking up, there is only one line left in the blue sky, winding forward.

If you look closely, you will feel that the rest of the sky is very much like a hideous dragon.

Thus, the story was born from these imaginations.

Some people say that in ancient times, there was a great flood in Dishui, which spread to the world, so that countless people died.

There are even demon dragons who take the opportunity to eat people.

The gods above the nine heavens saved all the people from fire and water, and then went down to the world to cross the world, and collected this demon dragon here, and used its ability to resist water to break the flowing water, so this boundary was renamed 'Broken Stream Gorge'.

There are countless stories of this kind, which are often not taken seriously by people, and they are also spread by word of mouth because children do not sleep at night, which is said to scare children.

For example, if you don't sleep again, the demon dragon will come to eat you.

This method is often immediate, and the results are very fast.

And in the eyes of the soldiers, this place is a natural danger, but one person should not open it!

If there are male soldiers guarding it, you can call up all the halberds and sink here.

It's just that now this place is in the Golden Cicada Forte, and there is no need to guard it specially, so it is abandoned.

The killers gathered here today, looking at this Broken Stream Gorge, are full of confidence.

But when they looked around, they felt a toothache.

There are so many more people around than you think......

Take Wushenglou as an example, they thought that the person who shot this time, in addition to themselves, was a master of Qingguo.

As a result, it was really at this moment that I realized that in addition to the Wusheng Building, there was also Forgotten Dust Island.

I heard that there are also people in the Pavilion of Annihilation...... It's just that I haven't come yet.

A young man sitting on the stone frowned.

If Jiang Ran was here, it would not be difficult to find that this person was the one who appeared in front of him that night and told him that there was a master of Qingguo who went to Wusheng Lou to place an order and wanted to assassinate the eldest princess.

That night, Jiang Ran followed him.

Finally, I had an inexplicable Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

And at this moment, he is actually not in a good mood.

Because today I found out that the situation is not right......

But at this time, it was too late to inform Jiang Ran.

Now there are eyes all around, but if one of them leaves this place before the assassination begins, it will inevitably attract the attention of others.

So as to find clues......

For a moment, my heart was also full of anxiety.

"Why is this little boy sad?"

A woman's voice came to my ears.

Let the young man subconsciously touch the mask on his face, and when he saw that the mask was intact, he glanced at the person who spoke.

One of the four masters of this Qingguo.

The four men were two men and two women.

Each is unfathomable.

But what I saw today was that there was one woman missing from the four people, and I don't know where I went.

With a slight groan, he slowly spoke:

"There are too many people."

"Isn't it good to have a lot of people?"

"Situational."

He whispered:

"When dealing with others, the number of people naturally occupies a great advantage.

"Can deal with Jiang Ran...... The number of people does not mean anything at all.

"On the contrary, it will alert him in advance."

"Makes sense."

The woman smiled:

"But it doesn't matter, I just want him to know that we are ambushing him here."

"Why?"

The young man was a little puzzled.

"Because the walls of the mountains on both sides are full of gunpowder.

"Jiang Ran is arrogant and will not take us people seriously, so he will inevitably stand in the canyon and talk nonsense to us.

"When the time comes, the gunpowder will be a little bit loud bang!

"Do you guess this amazing knife, dead or alive?"

The woman chuckled: "How?" ”

“…… Where did you get the gunpowder? ”

Ignoring the sinister nature of her words, the young man asked another question:

"Whether the gunpowder is in Qingguo or Jincicada, the control is extremely strict.

"The royal family took advantage of this to open up mountains and mines, and some people even tried to make weapons and secret weapons from it...... It is impossible for anyone with a large amount of gunpowder to make a fool of themselves.

"If you are light, you will be imprisoned, and you will be given 3,000 miles.

"The most important thing is ...... Kill directly.

"You are also new to the Golden Cicada, why can you be so powerful?"

"As a killer, it seems like you're asking a little too many questions."

The woman looked at the young man with a smile:

"However, sister, I am in a better mood today, if you are willing to let me see what you look like, I will tell you where this gunpowder comes from."

“……”

Young people didn't pick up.

Because you don't have to guess, you know it's a lie.

If he does not hesitate to take off his mask for this answer, it will inevitably make him suspect that he has other intentions.

As for what it looks like...... It's her business.

The woman chuckled:

"Don't show me?"

"Who are those people but Forgotten Dust Island?"

The young man suddenly stretched out his hand.

"Those...... Don't tell you. ”

The woman smiled and said:

"However, there are other helpers coming besides them.

"It's time to see when the time comes......"

"What helper?"

"The Pavilion of Annihilation."

As soon as she finished saying these three words, she saw a figure flying between the vertical and horizontal directions.

When they arrived, someone jumped up and tried to stop them.

Only two bangs were heard, and the two figures blocking him had already spurted blood and died on the spot.

The corpse smashed to the ground, and I saw a person standing on a big rock and looking at everyone present condescendingly:

"It's just nonsense......"

"The red face of the Pavilion of Destruction!"

"Is it him?"

"It turned out that the deputy pavilion master of the Destruction Pavilion arrived, and he was disappointed."

Several voices came from all over the place, and I saw a figure flying under the stone, and looked up at the man wearing a red mask on the stone.

"What does this mean, Deputy Pavilion Master? Someone who will kill us as soon as he comes? ”

The voice of a broken gong came out:

"If you don't give us an explanation today, don't say it's you, even if you are the one who shocks the Pavilion ......Master."

"Nonsense."

Red Face chuckled and shook his hand:

"If my pavilion master is here, I'm afraid you'll already be in the air.

"I said you're fooling around...... Isn't that true?

"Today, the eldest princess passed by this broken stream gorge, and there is still a shocking sword in the team.

"With such fanfare, do you really think that Jiang Ran, a three-year-old child, will not notice the difference?

"In my opinion, you don't want to fight like this.

Xu had to spread out to avoid his edge, this man was suspicious by nature, and the more this was the case, the more he would feel that the situation was not trivial.

"Only after he realizes it himself will he be free of any obstacles, so that we can succeed in our plan.

"Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating."

After he had said this, he flew down from the stone.

I saw an old man with a gray beard, stretched out his hand and touched his beard, and nodded slightly:

"The Lord of the Red Face Pavilion is reasonable, our hiding is indeed too superficial."

"That's it, then just do what the deputy pavilion master instructs."

"However, why is there only one person here, Deputy Pavilion Master?"

I heard the red-faced pavilion master sneer:

"What about coming alone? What if you slay them all as if you were on this throne? ”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Forgotten Dust Island, Wushenglou, and Annihilation Pavilion, the three are all killers, and they have achieved the level of the three largest in the world, and they don't like each other.

A few people on the Qingguo side are considered to be the gold masters, and when they see that they haven't finished their sentences, they are about to fight...... Immediately hurry up and do the old thing.

Claim that you need to be able to make peace is precious, and wait for the big event to be over, and then do other things.

"Humph!"

The red-faced pavilion lord sneered, said no more, looked directly at the young man in the Wusheng Building, and walked towards him.

The young man frowned slightly, and his heart was wary, until the other party came to him, and then he spoke:

"How are you doing?"

"Not how."

The Red Face Pavilion Lord used the voice of only two people to conspire in front of him:

"How about you join forces with me and kill them all in a moment?"

The young man's eyes widened suddenly, and with an unknown amount of concentration, he forcibly suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and stare at the person in front of him.

Then he said in shock:

"You...... Are you Jiang Ran?

"You...... Aren't you afraid that they will hear it?

"Wait, you just now, did you just tell the truth?"

He said that he had killed all the masters of the Astonishing Pavilion.

It was just a joke, but now it seems that it is not!
