Chapter 2: Life and Death
"Seventh brother be careful!"
At the moment when the figure of the man in red disappeared, the eight girls who were standing on the side vigilantly suddenly shouted.
The seventh master himself also felt the sound of wind behind him.
He originally wanted to dodge, but the other party's speed was too fast, even if he had already reacted that the attack was coming from behind, his body couldn't keep up with the brain's reaction and act accordingly.
Almost when the eighth girl just shouted, the menacing kick had already kicked the seventh master's waist. Those with excellent ear skills can even hear a series of broken bones.
In just a few breaths, the man in red has already kicked several times in a row, and the speed is generally overwhelming
The Seventh Master knelt on the ground with pain on his face, and his forehead was already soaked in layers of cold sweat because of the severe pain. But at this time, he couldn't think about anything else, so he only shouted to the eighth girl: "Little Eight quickly take Shen Yan away!"
Although the eighth girl was anxious on her face, she was not indecisive, and as soon as the seventh master spoke, she pulled the two girls out of here.
The people of the zodiac wanted to stop them, but the whip of the seventh master and the sword of the young man who drove the car stopped them in pairs.
The eighth girl's light skills are excellent, and almost in the blink of an eye, she has disappeared with someone.
The people of the zodiac are not in a hurry, and the man in red praised it in a good mood: "It is rumored that the eight girls have reached the peak of their light work, and they can step on the snow without a trace." When I saw it today, I realized what it means to hear it and see it......"
The seventh master did not reply.
He would never be able to speak.
The short man in a cloak held a pair of steel claws, one piercing his heart and the other piercing his neck.
Drawing out his weapon, the short man in the robes said with some disgust: "The famous Dragon King Whip on the rivers and lakes is nothing more than that......"
The bewitching man in red chuckled, looked at the two dead corpses on the ground indifferently, and led everyone to chase the three of the eight girls. At the same time, he said: "If he was in his heyday, I am afraid that the twelve of us joined forces, I am afraid that he would not be pleased." A month ago, I had heard that the Dragon King's Whip had somehow provoked the Tulip Knight, and although he was lucky enough to escape, his skills were also lost by half. That's why I was asked to wait for a bargain today. ”
The short man stopped talking.
He had heard of the prestige of the Tulip Knight, there were a total of one hundred and eighty-one of them, all of whom were selected by the top masters in a thousand miles, and they were owned by Emperor Qinghuan of the Northern Qingyu, but even if the prey he valued was lucky enough not to die, it must not be far from death. If the Dragon King Whip Seventh Master really escaped from the tulip knights, he would still be able to fight them for a few rounds now, but it really wouldn't be a waste of fame.
Thinking so, the short man in the cloth didn't say anything, but continued to move forward with everyone's pace, looking for the whereabouts of the three of the eight girls.
The wind and snow have started to get heavier and heavier.
The eight girls and Shen Yan did not escape far.
One is that she is only a person after all, and her internal strength is limited. The second is that the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, although this sentence is the same in reverse, but the zodiac would never have thought that she would really take the risk of lurking not far from them with two little girls.
The three of them watched the Seventh Master and the young man who drove the car die in the hands of the Zodiac, and the blood bloomed in the snow like a blood-colored plum blossom.
The eighth girl, who had always been very calm, couldn't help but burst into tears at this time, but she pursed her lips and didn't speak, let alone really cry.
"The zodiac signs have gone far, but I'm afraid they will react soon. Miss Shen Yan, you and your maid should go first, and I will lead them away for you. Whether he can survive after that depends on the will of God. The eighth girl took off her clothes and changed them with Shen Yan, and changed into exquisite clothes on her body. And the maid Linglong wore the clothes of the dead young man who drove the car. Shen Yan's clothes were put on the body of the young man who was driving the car by the eight girls, and after a few modifications, it looked seven or eight points similar to Shen Yan.
After the eighth girl carefully told the two of them again, she carried the body of the young man who drove the car on her back and glanced at the body of the seventh master, who had been buried most of the wind and snow, and finally a tear fell from the corner of her eye.
The three of them went their separate ways.
Shen Yan and Linglong supported each other and disappeared into the vast wind and snow.
After the eight girls covered their footprints that had not been covered by the wind and snow, they took the body of the young man who drove the car and turned away from the other direction.
I don't know when the wind and snow began to decrease, and there was a faint golden light in the sky.
It was the sun that had forced away the heavy clouds, revealing a little trace.
But the two girls running in the snow did not feel warm. On the contrary, it was cold to the bone, so cold that people shivered unconsciously, and the body began to become numb.
In the past twelve years, Shen Yan, as the youngest daughter of the Shen family, has been spoiled by her parents and brothers even if she has a lively and mischievous temperament, and her biggest worry every day is what to eat for the next meal.
At that time, she never thought that this day would come, and she would run wild in the snow in embarrassment in order to survive.
But the eldest lady who has been deeply raised in the boudoir, even if she has learned some flower boxing and embroidered legs with her father and brother, has reached the limit at this time.
But a formidable enemy has appeared in front of you.
It was not the zodiac signs who had killed the Seventh Master, the Twelve, and the car-driving boy one after another, but a young man dressed in fiery red. He doesn't look very old, he is a little younger than Shen Mo, the eldest brother of the Shen family.
The red clothes are like fire, the green silk is like ink, the skin is whiter than snow, and the face is like a demon.
This is a good-looking young man, but the aura emanating from his surroundings is extremely dangerous. He just stood there, as if he had unsheathed his sword, and it was intimidating to see.
Looking at Shen Yan and Linglong, the young man's eyes had an unknown luster, and he let out a low and bewitching laugh with the slight sound of the wind: "Oh, it seems that what Zhongzhou said about waiting for the rabbit is not an empty delusion." Look, didn't that catch two lost rabbits?"
Linglong was already cold and scared, but at this time, she still firmly protected Shen Yan behind her: "You, who are you?"
After seeing the man in red in the previous zodiac, facing this young man at this time, Shen Yan and the two of them couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts, and they were all afraid.
Are you going to die here today?
There was a look of despair in the eyes of the two girls.
The figure of the young man in red moved, and he suddenly came to the two of them. sighed with a little pity: "Tsk, it's not good for such a beautiful girl to show such a look." Peace of mind, I'm in a good mood today and have no intention of killing. ”
Linglong breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and then listened to him continue: "As long as Miss Shen Yan lends me something, I will escort you away, how about I?"
"What is it?" Shen Yan raised his head, but his right hand unconsciously pinched the corner of his clothes. It was a small gesture she used to do when she was nervous.
The young man in red laughed and said slowly, "Has Miss Shen Yan heard of the Jade of Remnant Snow?"
"What's that?" Shen Yan's face was blank.
The young man took a few steps back and said, "That's the key that can open the Emperor's Mausoleum." Recently, it was rumored that it was in the Jiuyuan Shen family. I originally thought that Tulip Knight had already succeeded, but I didn't expect to meet Miss Shen Yan here. ”
Shen Yan is not very stupid, and when he heard such words, he completely understood what the source of all this he was experiencing now was.
"The Tulip Knight never leaves a mouth alive. Since Miss Shen Yan is still alive, it means that they haven't gotten what they want yet. The young man in red didn't look at Shen Yan's increasingly ugly face, and continued to speak with a little smile. "As the so-called guilt of conceiving it, since Miss Shen Yan has no ability to protect it, it is better to hand it over to me, and it will save her from being hunted down and killed. ”
"How do I know, will you attack me and Linglong again after getting the Jade of Remnant Snow?" Knowing the reason, Shen Yan tried to calm down. She and Linglong are not powerful masters, and I am afraid that they will not be able to escape in the hands of the young man. However, as long as the other party does not get what he wants, then they will not die for the time being.
Probably seeing her thoughts, the boy burst out laughing.
He was born enchanting, and his voice was also enchanting, but he did not look feminine, but brought out a bit of cold danger at this time: "I don't know if Miss has ever heard a word called ....... life is better than death." ”
Before his words fell, the man had already moved first.
Linglong was knocked away by his palm, crashed into a thick ancient pine tree, spat out a mouthful of blood, completely lost its vitality, and was quickly buried by the falling snow on the tree.
Before Shen Yan could even react, she herself was clamped by the neck again, and her feet were suspended in the air from the ground.
The throat was tightly locked, and the feeling of suffocation followed, Shen Yan struggled weakly, and couldn't make a sound, because of the lack of breathing, his complexion began to turn red and faintly turned to dark purple.
Just when she thought she was going to die like this, her body was suddenly thrown out by the boy with one hand, and she fell on the snow and coughed uncontrollably.
The young man still smiled lightly and asked, "Miss Shen Yan, how does it feel to die?" As long as you hand over the Jade of Remnant Snow, I will let you go immediately. Otherwise, ....... make life worse than death, but I'm very good at it. ”
Shen Yan sat in the snow, one hand supporting the cold snow, and the other hand on his neck. His throat was still aching, and there was a faint smell of blood. Hearing this, she said with difficulty: "I don't have the Jade of Remnant Snow, and I've never heard of it. Even if you kill me, you still won't be able to get it out. ”
"Really?" The young man didn't know whether he believed it or not, his tone and demeanor still didn't change, but he shook his head and said, "That's a pity." ”
What a pity?
Shen Yan didn't ask, because she had already guessed.
The boy walked up to her, a crimson flame pattern emerging from the corner of his left eye.
Shen Yan couldn't help but be stunned when he met his eyes, and then his thinking began to become blurry.
She vaguely heard the boy asking, but she couldn't hear it clearly.
She herself seemed to have answered something, and she couldn't remember clearly.
Before falling into complete darkness, what Shen Yan heard most clearly was the sound of sharp weapons clashing.
Then, he lost consciousness completely.
