Li Qiufeng secretly praised him for his thoughtfulness, so he waited for a while, and when Xiao Zhanpeng came down to him, the two looked at each other and smiled. This time, the two helped each other and escaped death, and they were grateful to each other.

At this time, the two of them were on the cliff, hunting in the mountain wind, all relying on the strong martial arts of the two, so they were not blown by the mountain wind and fell to the bottom of the cliff. It's just that this cliff has gone through many years of ups and downs since its formation, and the rocks are often damaged, and sometimes the rocks are broken when they are caught. The two of them were very careful, helped each other, and slowly climbed to the bottom of the cliff.

I don't know how long it took, but it gradually darkened, and I thought it was twilight. At this moment, I suddenly heard the faint sound of running water under my feet. Li Qiufeng was overjoyed, turned his head to Xiao Zhanpeng and said, "Brother Xiao, there is the sound of running water under our feet, it looks like we are about to reach the bottom." ”

The two of them tossed on the mountain rock for two hours, and although they were armed with martial arts, they were also tired and numb. At this time, I knew that it was not far from the bottom of the valley, and under the joy, I didn't know where to give birth to another strength, and the speed of the descent was faster. After climbing about a dozen feet, my feet finally stepped on the ground.

I saw that the bottom of this valley was more than three feet wide, and on both sides were cliffs like knives and axes. On the right side of the valley bottom, there is a mountain stream, which is no more than a foot wide, and the water is so clear that you can see the small fish flowing in the water.

The two of them stood at the bottom of the valley and looked up at the mountain peaks covered by clouds and mist, and for a moment it was as if they were in a different world. After a while, Xiao Zhanpeng said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, which way should we go?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Let's follow the direction of the water, we will definitely be able to leave here!"

The two of them walked along the mountain stream, and just after taking a few steps, they saw a long sword stuck diagonally on the ground not far away. The wind in this valley was not small, and the long sword trembled slightly in the wind. The two stopped in amazement, and Xiao Zhanpeng said, "Could it be that someone here has ever been here?"

Li Qiufeng pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and was secretly on guard in his heart. At this time, only the sound of "whining" from the mountain wind through the valley can be heard, mixed with the sound of flowing water from the mountain stream, and no other sounds can be heard.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

At this time, it was almost evening, the sky had already darkened, and in this deep valley that was more than 100 zhang deep, clouds and mist filled the top of the valley, and the surroundings of the two of them were quite dim at this moment. The long sword was stuck diagonally on the ground, and only a vague shadow could be seen in the shadow, and it was not very clear. Li Qiufeng made a temporary stop gesture at Xiao Zhanpeng, pressed the hilt of his hand, and slowly walked towards the long sword.

When he got closer and saw the long sword clearly, Li Qiufeng let out a sigh of relief, turned his head and smiled at Xiao Zhanpeng: "Brother Xiao, come and take a look." ”

Xiao Zhanpeng walked forward quickly, saw Li Qiufeng smiling, his heart was surprised, and after a closer look, the long sword body was much wider than the ordinary long sword, and he was stunned, and stretched out his hand to pull out the long sword, but it was the sword he used.

Xiao Zhanpeng remembered that when the two fell from the top of the mountain, he had used a long sword to slash the mountain rock to slow down the momentum of the two of them. Later, when he missed, the long sword fell from the air into the deep valley, and it was inserted next to the mountain stream at the bottom of the valley, which frightened the two of them.

Xiao Zhanpeng laughed and said, "There are a lot of strange things today, some of them are so dizzy that they can't even remember their own blades." ”

When he said this, he saw that the blade of the sword had been smoothed, and there were many small gaps in the blade. This sword was given by his father when he was sixteen years old, and it is a rare weapon in the rivers and lakes. Using this sword to perform the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique is even more amazing than the sound of ordinary long swords. Xiao Zhanpeng loved this sword more than his life, not only carrying it with him during the day, but also resting at night, but also putting the long sword next to his pillow. At this time, seeing this sword become like this, I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart.

Li Qiufeng saw Xiao Zhanpeng's expression of pity, knowing that he felt sorry for his sword, but he didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he had to be silent.

Xiao Zhanpeng was stunned for a moment, and then forced a smile: "It's good that this sword saved our lives, but it's worth it." ”

Xiao Zhanpeng put the long sword into the sheath and said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, let's go out of the valley." ”

Li Qiufeng nodded. At this time, the sky is getting dark, and you can only see things two or three feet away, and you can't see anything further away. Fortunately, the sound of "ding dong" in the mountain stream is endless, but you don't have to worry about losing the direction.

The two of them followed the mountain stream, and from time to time squirrels ran under their feet. The valley floor was littered with tiny gravel that creaked when stepped on. At first, I heard it fresh, but after walking for a long time, I felt that the sound was extremely boring.

The two walked zigzag at the bottom of the valley for more than a hundred feet, and suddenly stopped at the same time.

In the boundless twilight, I faintly saw a flickering fire ahead, mixed with the sound of shouting.

Both of them are good martial artists, although the firelight and human voice are still far away from the two, they make the two of them immediately surprised.

In an instant, Li Qiufeng and Xiao Zhanpeng's figures flickered, and they moved one after the other behind a prominent mountain rock on the left cliff wall, and their bodies were close to the cliff wall, listening intently to the sound ahead.

In the whining mountain wind, only the chaotic voices of people could be heard in the distance. It's just that it's far away, and it's disturbed by the sound of the mountain wind, so I can't hear what those people are saying.

Li Qiufeng whispered to Xiao Zhanpeng: "Brother Xiao, from the sound, there are really a lot of people gathered in front. The bottom of this valley is full of sand and gravel, no matter how high you work, there will definitely be a sound when you step on it. How can I think of a way to pass quietly and not let those people find out? ”

Xiao Zhanpeng naturally thought of this section, looked around, and suddenly found that the cliff opposite was rocky, not as steep as the two of them, so he pointed at the opposite side with his right hand. Li Qiufeng raised his eyes and immediately knew Xiao Zhanpeng's intentions, immediately nodded, poked his head out and looked ahead, vaguely saw a few points of firelight, but he couldn't see the figure, knowing that those people in front of him would definitely not see himself and Xiao Zhanpeng, so he jumped straight to the opposite cliff.

He had already calculated his place of footing before he plunged, which was a protruding rock on the opposite mountain wall, about three feet high from the valley floor. Although Li Qiufeng is not weak, if he wants to be as high as three feet long, he can't do it. He jumped on a rock more than a foot from the bottom of the valley, put his right foot on the rock a little, and with the help of this force, his body bounced up again, and landed on the rock more than three feet high.

Li Qiufeng reached the top of the mountain rock, turned his head and made a gesture at Xiao Zhanpeng, who was still standing at the bottom of the valley. At this time, the sky was dark, but fortunately, the distance between the two was not too far, Xiao Zhanpeng could see it clearly, and he also jumped on the rock by drawing a gourd. The two of them performed light feats, and kept leaping forward on the rocks of the cliff. After walking more than ten zhang away, I found that the front suddenly became open, and a huge circular open space appeared.

The two of them were startled, and hurriedly retracted their bodies and pressed their bodies against the mountain wall. I saw four or five fires burning in the open space in front of me, and dozens of people stood tall and low next to the fire, all holding long swords, and from time to time there was a sound of shouting.

Li Qiufeng saw that these people were dressed in black, and they were the same as the killers of the Liu Sheng family, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, secretly wondering what these killers were doing at the bottom of this valley? Could it be that after he and Xiao Zhanpeng fell into the abyss, Liu Sheng Zongyan was afraid that the two of them would escape from death, so he sent these killers down to the bottom of the valley to intercept and kill them?

While he was thinking about it, he heard a man in black say in a loud voice: "You are already in the dead ground, if you surrender earlier, we can spare your lives." Besides, we didn't want to kill you in the first place, as long as you obediently put down your blades and get out of this cave, we promise that we won't harm your lives!"

Li Qiufeng saw that there were still three or four black-clothed people lying next to the fire, and they were still motionless for a long time, thinking that even if they were not dead, they were seriously injured. Li Qiufeng secretly thought that these black-clothed killers were all ruthless, and besides, they were a team of seven people, and they were horns of each other, if they didn't take advantage of the situation to attack suddenly, it would be extremely difficult to get rid of these killers. I don't know which master these people are besieging them, they can have such martial arts, and under the siege of many killers of the Yanagi clan, they can still injure several people in a row.

Li Qiufeng looked into the middle of the field while thinking, only to find that there was a black cave on the cliff wall opposite these killers. The cave is more than two feet high, like a gate. It's just that when the twilight is deep, if you don't look closely, you can't see that there is such a big hole in the mountain wall. Thinking that the killers of the Yanagi family wanted to besiege him, he hid in this cave.

After the man in black finished speaking, there was no sound except for the "crackling" sound of the mountain wind, the flowing water, and the firewood burning in the fire.
