Chapter 4: The Mysterious Old Man

"It's coming!"

Suddenly, the old man's lips moved, and he raised his head and looked at the sky. As if in response to the old man's gaze, a scream came from a distance, and in the blink of an eye, a huge eagle galloped and swept over.

The old man just glanced at it, and his face immediately changed slightly. His eyesight was amazing, and just by looking at it, he could tell that the giant eagle's flying posture was clearly injured.

"What's going on? they're injured, can anyone still attack them?"

The light in the old man's eyes changed, and his expression was slightly gloomy for a few days.

All actions are carefully calculated in advance, and the giant eagle is infinitely powerful, its body is as strong as iron, and it will not be injured if it is light. And all the targets are also carefully calculated, and it is impossible to counterattack the giant eagle in the sky, unless it ...... The other party also has a bird of prey, the Juli Eagle.

But before the action, it was clear that all objects with flying pets are taboo, and no one dares to disobey this rule if they encounter it, regardless of their strength.

So how did this giant eagle get hurt?

There was no change on the old man's face, but the green shirt on his body fluctuated in a rhythm opposite to the wind.

Zhang Qian didn't know what the old man thought, and when this towering mountain appeared in his field of vision, Zhang Qian only had a joy for the rest of his life.

"It's finally here!"

Zhang Qian looked at the bare mountain top below and the old man with an unfathomable breath, and his heart was full of excitement. With all his might, he still rushed to this base camp for temporary operations.

As long as you return here, you can rest at ease and treat Juli Eagle's injuries by the way.

"Damn it, sooner or later, I'm going to make you regret what happened today. ”

I think I am panicked like a lost dog. was chased and killed by the target who didn't know the origin, and finally got rid of it, and Zhang Qian was angry in his heart.

Following the house, for so many years, I have always had the share of bullying others, where will I be bullied by others. I couldn't swallow this breath anyway.

"Whew!"

The wind is howling. The two iron wings of the Juli Eagle spread out and glided down from high in the sky. Zhang Qian looked down, a housekeeper in a green robe stood on the top of the mountain, and his figure expanded rapidly in his field of vision.

"Butler-sama......"

Zhang Qian's heart was settled, his lips were open, and he was about to say about this operation. Suddenly, an indescribable strange feeling came over me.

I saw that the housekeeper's lips were slightly open, his eyes were strange, and he didn't look at himself. Instead, look around yourself and look in the direction behind you. It's like there's something behind you.

"Strange?"

Zhang Qian was surprised in his heart, sat on the back of the giant eagle, and subconsciously turned around.

Rumble!

Time seemed to have slowed down countless times, and at the moment when Zhang Qian's mind relaxed and turned his head back, the wind was mighty, and in the depths of the dense forest below, there was a boom. A sword aura that was more dazzling than the sun swept into the sky and burst out from between the two dark ancient trees. Just one volume, like a torrent of waves, involved Zhang Qian and the giant eagle under him.

"Ahh

With a terrible scream, in front of this terrifying force, Zhang Qian didn't even have time to resist, and was hit by the sword qi. Split in half.

The giant eagle is known to be as solid as a rock, but in front of this sword, it is also like paper paste, and with a sudden scream, it was split in half by the sword qi, carrying a rain of blood. It fell from the sky with a thud and fell to the ground, motionless.

There was a sudden silence at the top of the mountain, and the wind came and went as fast as it came. Except for a puddle of blood on the top of the mountain, and the corpses of a man and an eagle in the dust, nothing else could be seen.

It's just that in the void, I don't know when there is a smell of slaughter.

"Why don't you make a move?"

A faint sound of footsteps came from under the shade of the trees, and Yang Ji paced slowly out. He held the sword in his right hand, rubbed it lightly on his sleeve, and put it in the sheath.

The fallen leaves rustled, and the murderous aura surged in the void.

Yang Ji's expression was very calm, as if he had just done an insignificant little thing. From the beginning of coming out of the shade of the tree, his gaze has been looking at the mysterious old man on the top of the mountain, who is as extraordinary as Yue Zhiyuan.

The reason why Yang Ji has been chasing Zhang Qian closely is to know who the mastermind behind the scenes is. But there is no need to ask anymore.

“...... With your strength and position, you should be able to save him, right?"

Yang Ji squinted his eyes and said lightly.

This mysterious old man is very strong, and with his ability just now, the sword just now can actually save Zhang Qian, but he didn't do this, but watched himself kill Zhang Qian.

I have to say that this was indeed a surprise to Yang Ji.

"Hey, why did you make a move?"

The old man smiled, and there was no expression on his face. His eyes were bright, and he kept observing Yang Ji:

"I did think about making a move. But then it didn't feel like it was necessary. There is a chance that any action will fail. Even if you fail, you must be aware of failure. You chased him thousands of miles here, it is absolutely impossible to let him live. If you don't give something, it is estimated that it will be difficult to vent the anger in your heart. ”

The old man said very calmly.

When he spoke, he even glanced indifferently at Zhang Qian's corpse on the ground, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.

"Zhang Qian ambushed you, and you also killed Zhang Qian, I think this should be regarded as a clear two, right?"

The old man said as a matter of course.

"Liangqing?"

Yang Ji was stunned, only then did he know that the other party was ridiculous. He actually wanted to use Zhang Qian's life to dissipate the anger in his heart, and then dissolve his killing intent.

Yang Ji felt a little incredible. But if you look closely, the anger in your heart is indeed not as strong as it began. Yang Ji had to admit that although the other party's methods were a little shameless, they were indeed useful.

However, if you want Yang Ji to let the other party go like this, it is also impossible.

"Hmph, you're really simple. ”

Yang Ji sneered, his eyes full of murderous intent:

"It's better to kill you with this sword in my hand first. And then use this sword to pay for your life. ”

The logic of the other party is the way of scapegoating, which is the method of eternal change. However, for Yang Ji, it is not of much use.

He tracked it all the way. Hold on to the bite. I just want to see who wants to deal with me.

Zhang Qian is just a pawn, an inconsequential little character.

Yang Ji knew that the real commander was actually the group of people in front of him.

"Young man, there is no need for this. ”

The old man shook his head and smiled, his hair full of green silk swaying. His face was not shocked, and from the beginning, he was trying his best to persuade Yang Ji:

"Zhang Qian wants to kill you. But you're not dead, in fact, I think you're unscathed. But Zhang Qian has already paid for it. I think you should be satisfied. ”

"If you still feel too much of a loss, we can give you this thing. ”

Bang! The dust was cheap, and the old man threw something out of his sleeve and landed in front of Yang Ji.

"Ten thousand years of copper mother!"

Seeing this thing clearly, Yang Ji's face changed suddenly.

Ten thousand years of copper mother!

The other party took it out. The one used to buy himself was actually the mother of copper for ten thousand years.

How precious this kind of thing is, Yang Ji already knows it deeply. Although it is not a finished product, these 10,000-year-old copper mothers are necessary materials for exercising powerful bronze blood magic weapons.

Although Yang Ji was full of murderous intent when he came, he didn't expect that the other party would throw out such a precious thing casually.

Yang Ji is now carrying a treasure, and the seven-headed Iron Mother Cavalry is a priceless treasure. Ordinary elixir. Waiting for the Idle Ritual ...... , can't trap him.

But the mother of copper for thousands of years......

Yang Ji had to admit. The other party's generosity really shook him a little.

Seeing Yang Ji's expression, the old man smiled. He knew he wanted to achieve the following results:

"Ten catties of Wanzai Bronze Mother, this seems to be your reward in the martial arts competition, right? If you are going for the reward in this year's Zhoufu Martial Arts Examination. I think that should compensate you for your losses as well. ”

Yang Ji fell silent, his eyes uncertain.

Although he was full of murder when he came, he wanted to kill all these people. But Yang Ji also had to admit it. The other party's wrist is indeed smart.

Let a Zhang Qian let himself vent his anger, and then take ten catties of Wanzai Copper Mother to buy him...... , no matter how you look at it, I don't seem to suffer much.

The old man looked at Yang Ji's expression, smiling and his expression became softer and softer:

"Listen to my advice. Take these things and go back. It's our gift. Don't participate in this martial arts examination. The water is too muddy for a young man like you to wade. ”

"You may feel a little aggrieved right now. However, if you know what other people are going through, you won't think so. This operation is far more than us. Not everyone is as lucky as you, though. Not all of us are like us. There are many people who are domineering and fierce. If you run into them, it might be a different story. ”

Yang Ji had a cold face and still didn't speak.

"Hey, do you still feel unwilling? Why bother? I'm just an errand runner, even if you kill me, what can you do? We don't know each other, it's just a conflict of interests, and there is no grudge that can't be touched, so why bother?"

The old man spoke bitterly.

"Humph!"

Yang Ji snorted coldly, copied his wrist, and suddenly picked up the shining ten catties of copper mother on the ground:

"I took these ten catties of copper mother. It is regarded as additional interest. But I didn't hear your advice. Want me to quit the martial arts examination...... , hmph, no way!"

"Of course, if you are not convinced, just take action. But next time, hmph, it won't be the same result. ”

Yang Ji flicked his sleeves, turned around and left without looking back.

The old man stepped on the gray-brown rock, not saying a word, but the smile on his face slowly faded. Watching Yang Ji leave with ten catties of copper mother, the old man's face changed, and it was uncertain, but from beginning to end, he didn't make a move.

Woohoo!

Almost at the same time as Yang Ji disappeared, there was a sigh of light, and at the same time, several figures swept out of the hidden shadows of the mountain peak. (To be continued......) R1292
