Chapter Twenty-Eight: Escape on a Rainy Night
In the early morning of the next day, not long after the sun rose, Ye Bufan had collected his work early, his own cultivation was still as stable as Mount Tai, and there was no improvement, was it really because of his limited talent, he left his residence with a trace of sadness on his face, walked on the street and thought, and unconsciously came to the Demon Hunting Division.
There are three divisions in the Yanwu Hall: the Demon Hunting Division, the City Guarding Division, and the Finance Division, among which the Demon Hunting Division is specially managed, and monks like Ye Bufan are collectively referred to as hunters.
Here you can receive bounty missions and enactment cycle team missions, and as long as you complete the cycle missions, you can freely receive bounty tasks for the following week.
Ye Bufan thought to himself that anyway, he was now on the path of cultivation, and he had encountered a bottleneck, so it was better to do some tasks to find an opportunity to break through, and made up his mind, as soon as he walked into the Demon Hunting Division, he heard:
"Brother Wang, have you heard the recent rumor?"
"Is it the bloodsqueeze?"
"That's right, all the livestock raised in a nearby village have been drained of blood and died!"
"It's weird, but fortunately, no one in that village died!"
"Yes, but the investigation mission has already been released, or let's team up to investigate, anyway, it is a task that can be reclaimed. ”
"Okay! I happened to have run out of money on alcohol recently, so I'm going to make some extra money!"
As he spoke, the two took out their identity plates, and at the same time tapped a little at one of the jade plates on the taskbar, and at the same time lit up slightly, and then the two of them walked together with a smile and left the Demon Hunter Division together.
Ye Bufan thought about it when he heard this, thinking that this task was quite weird, driven by curiosity, he couldn't help but become interested in this task, anyway, he couldn't think of what task he wanted to do for a while?
It's better to take action than to be excited, so I came to the task bar and took over this task, and put the spiritual consciousness into the nameplate, and I knew the location and content of this task.
When he walked out of the Demon Hunting Division, he came to the carriage and horse shop to rent a fast horse and set off for his eyes.
At the foot of the Yanwu Great Wall, there is a small village called Hongxi Village in the southeast of more than fifty miles away from Yanwutang.
There are about 50 families living here, the folk customs are simple, because it is located near the Yanwutang, but it is also seen in the world, often dealing with monks, the people in the village mostly make some food to the Yanwutang to sell in exchange for some silver taels for a living.
On weekdays, the villagers often see these monks slaying demons and all kinds of spells, and they have experienced great harm, and they are also very worshipful and envious of these monks.
The mortals outside are afraid of the martial arts hall, but the mortals here are yearning, and it is ridiculous to say.
And the Yanwutang and these villagers can be regarded as a mutually beneficial relationship, after all, there are a lot of monks in the Yanwutang who need food, so they can't be allowed to cook by themselves every day!
Therefore, Yanwutang has always taken care of the surrounding people, and it is also quite good to the villagers here, and all some strange incidents, except for a demon beast or something, will issue tasks in the Demon Hunting Division to help them deal with it, and they will not take a penny.
However, on this day, the sky was a little overcast, and the clouds were thick, which made people feel depressed, and there was a feeling of breathlessness, and it seemed that heavy rain was coming.
From the village, the villagers did not care about the imminent arrival of the heavy rain, but fell into the calamity of grief, feeling more frightened than the heavy rain in the sky, and everyone was in danger and panicked.
Overnight, all the livestock in the village were sucked dry by blood and died, and at this time, several monks from the village had come to investigate to no avail, and by the way, in order to appease the people, they were going to pretend to set up a magic circle tonight.
Ye Bufan also came here at this time, and he didn't mix blindly with those monks, and temporarily settled in a private house.
As the sky was getting later and later, the night was deep, and suddenly there was a thunderclap, the wind swept the clouds, and the black clouds on the horizon rolled and surged, and the wind and rain were coming, and a sense of slaughter was hidden in it.
Ye Bufan sat quietly cross-legged in front of the bed, and listened to it, there was only the sound of the wind whistling by, the snoring of some villagers, and the sound of footsteps.
Ye Bufan knew that these were those monks who had taken over the task like himself, and when they heard this movement, they should be arranging the magic circle, and they all felt that this incident was done by the female earth bat, and they were ready to set up a formation to capture it, and wait for the rabbit here.
But in the eyes of the villagers, this is the same approach as the previous groups of monks, and there is nothing new.
"Whew... Call... Whew!" The wind blew fiercely, and a lightning bolt tore through the sky and flashed, reflecting on the ordinary houses, and the sound of "Boom!" was falling from the downpour.
I don't know why Ye Bufan suddenly felt an uneasy feeling in his heart, his face was serious and serious, he took out the flowing shadow and placed it in front of his knees, and waited for it.
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from a distance, followed by a scream of "Ahh
"It's not good, it's an evil monk, send a distress signal quickly!"
"No, it's raining heavily, and even if you send out the flame bombs, they won't light up!"
"Fight them!"
The sound of fierce fighting sounded, accompanied by screams came again and again, one after another, Ye Bufan did not go out, and he judged by the sound that his side was completely slaughtered unilaterally, and there was no enemy at all.
The nervous beating of the heart, "Puff, Puff!", I heard it very clearly, judging from the approximate footsteps, the other party should have more than six people, and the cultivation is not low, at least there are more than seven levels of Qi refining.
At this time, his palms couldn't help sweating, but this did not affect his sword, staring closely at the door, as soon as someone came nearby, he immediately took out his sword and killed a person instantly, and then immediately fled in the rain.
"Click!click!click!" The sound of rain dripping from their clothes on the floor was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that they knew that they were here, and it should be the villagers who had their eyeliners, or maybe it was the villagers among the evil cultivators.
Both scenarios are possible, and if they are true, then it makes sense why only the livestock died and not a single villager was injured.
He couldn't think about it too much, and the sound was getting closer and closer, mixed with the sound of heavy rain outside.
"Bang!" The sound of opening the door sounded, and Ye Bufan instantly shot out with the Flowing Shadow Sword in his hand, "Huh!", the sword light flashed, and a sword pierced the wall.
The person behind the wall was instantly pierced through the heart, all this came too suddenly, even though he had the cultivation of the seventh layer of qi refining, he didn't have time to react, and what he didn't expect was that he actually comprehended the sword qi in the qi refining realm, and it was rumored that only the sword cultivator who comprehended the sword qi was the real sword cultivator.
In the past six months, Ye Bufan has refined this technique, and he can clearly hear the heartbeat of people a few meters away, although the sound of rain outside the door interferes greatly, but there is only a wall between the two, Ye Bufan easily judged the location of the heart, and pierced the heart with a sword, so that this evil cultivator did not blink an eye until he died.
After Ye Bufan killed one person in a sneak attack, he instantly launched a flying swallow step, grabbed the door, and fled in the rain.
Seeing this, the five people who were cleaning up the battlefield outside glanced at each other, one of them stretched out his hand and showed his two fingers, signaling the two of them to chase Ye Bufan, and we then dealt with the scene, and two of them nodded.
The two men jumped to their feet and stepped on the horses beside them, and rode after them.
Ye Bufan rushed all the way, the rain slapped on his face, when the rain flowed down, it hindered his vision a little, and he couldn't see the road in front of him clearly, and the ground became a little muddy because of the rain, which affected his speed.
And there was the sound of rain beating all around, and even his hearing was affected, these were nothing, he knew that he had to run, because the sword just now consumed a lot of his spiritual power, and he couldn't use the second sword now.
The sound of horses' hooves running behind him couldn't help but lift his heart, and he clenched the Flowing Shadow Sword in his hand, ready to seek an opportunity to fight back.
After a while, he was chased by the two of them, riding two horses in front of him, Ye Bufan saw that he really couldn't dodge, and stared vigilantly at the two people who came with a sword in his hand.
This time, I finally saw the dress of this group of people clearly, wearing a dark red robe with a hood, it may be a rainy day, I really can't see the appearance of the two people clearly, or it may be that they are covered under the hood.
But their eyes were particularly cold, and even in this dark night with heavy rain, they could feel the murderous aura emanating from their bodies.
The two quickly turned over and dismounted, both of them holding swords in their hands, and it seemed that they should be sword cultivators.
I saw one of them pull out the sword with one hand, and the blade shone with the light of spiritual power, and it actually pulled the rain, forming a huge water blade, under the blessing of the rainy day, the power was extremely powerful, and its speed was extremely fast, and it was instantaneous.
Seeing this, Ye Bufan's pupils shrank, and he was a little speechless in his heart, he was still a sword cultivator majoring in the water system, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he made a decision to breathe, injected the spiritual power of his whole body into the Flowing Shadow Sword, and held the sword in front of him with both hands.
"Bang!" With a bang, the water blade exploded on the Flowing Shadow Sword with the waves, and the impact brought by it directly lifted Ye Bufan into the air, and Ye Bufan was hit by this heavy blow, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth and sprinkled it in the rain, landing with it.
After all, it was the other party who was a monk of the seventh layer of qi refining, and a fourth-layer of qi refining that had consumed more than half of his spiritual power was not an enemy at all, and he broke through his own defense in an instant.
Seeing that the man was about to swing his sword, facing himself in mid-air, and making up for another sword, suddenly that person, that sword seemed to be unable to swing, and the whole person froze, motionless.
"Bang!" Ye Bufan fell to the ground, time could not allow himself to cry out in pain, endured the discomfort and muddy water on his body, and got up, ready to try to make the last struggle.
Only then did he see clearly, why the man suddenly did not move, only to see the man's companion, a sword pierced through his chest, the man seemed to be dead in vain, and unwillingly turned his head to look at the man behind him, as if asking, why?
Ye Bufan was also puzzled when he saw this, thinking to himself what the situation was, the two sides disagreed, and killed each other?
I saw that the man's companion slowly drew the blade from his body, and the blood flowed down the wound, and for a time it stained red with rain.
"Poof!" the man fell to the ground, reduced to a corpse.
After killing his companion, he put his sword into the sheath, glanced at Ye Bufan, turned over and didn't care about Ye Bufan, and rode the horse away.
Ye Bufan, who was thrown aside like this, was also a little blindfolded, looking at her back when she left, she felt a little familiar, but she couldn't think of who it was, this might also be her own illusion!
