Chapter 17: Escape

Just as the two sides were about to start, the old man suddenly appeared and came to the front of the villagers. Ye Chen also wanted to come out to fight the enemy with everyone, but he was stopped by the old man, telling him to stay well and wait for the opportunity to escape.

"Brother Qingyun, the deadline has arrived, do you want to pay this dragon scale or not?" Lin Zhentian looked serious, no longer smiling like before.

"Grandpa Hua, do you know this person, did you call them?" The simple villagers heard this and thought they were friends.

The old man shook his head when he heard this, and turned to Lin Zhentian and said: "The dragon scales are not with me, and I will not force him to hand them over, if you must take the dragon scales, you must pass my level first." ”

"In that case, don't blame me for not being able to win, ....... ”

The corners of Lin Zhentian's mouth curled slightly, and he beckoned behind him, and a person with a big knife rushed out at once, and slashed at the old man with the knife.

The old man's body was slightly on one side, and then he quickly slapped him in the chest, knocking him back several steps at once, until Lin Zhentian stretched out a hand to support him, and he slowed down.

"I haven't seen you for thirty years, but your cultivation has improved a lot!"

Lin Zhentian squinted, flashed over this subordinate at once, and slapped the old man. The strength of the two was strong, and in the moment of the palm, those villagers all fell sideways, while the people under Lin Zhentian only took a few steps back, and the four masters were just slightly tilted their heads.

The old man looked at the villagers who fell to the ground behind him, and couldn't bear to let them be hurt, so he suddenly shook Lin Zhentian.

"Kill!"

At the moment when the two separated, Lin Zhentian's subordinates suddenly shouted and rushed over together.

The old man didn't want these innocent villagers to suffer, so he naturally took the lead in the front, and he repelled the master who rushed to the front in a few moves. Then he snatched the sword of a man in black, and killed more than a dozen men in black in an instant, and the speed was so fast that it immediately shocked the four masters.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhentian's subordinates were terrified, especially the dozens of people in black, they were just little minions, they could only embroider their legs with a few tricks, and in the face of such a powerful person, they would only be cannon fodder when they rushed up, and they had no chance of surviving at all.

Seeing that the old man was so powerful, the four masters immediately surrounded him, they knew that none of them were his opponents when they fought alone, and only by joining forces could they have a chance.

The old man stood quietly and observed the four of them, and when he saw that one of them was exposed, he took the lead in attacking the man.

The four of them are all first-class masters in the Shura Palace, so naturally they will not be as bad as the group of black-clothed people behind them. Even if the man showed his flaws, after the old man made a move, the other three also attacked the old man together, forcing the old man to defend himself.

The four of them pestered the old man, freeing the men in black with their hands. Although they were no match for the old man, they seemed to be at ease in the face of these villagers, and in a short time all the villagers fell to the ground and wailed on the ground.

Lin Zhentian gave them a look, and they all rushed to Ye Chen's house. Lin Zhentian stayed where he was, watching the old men fight. He knew that these four people would not be the opponents of the old man for a long time, so he didn't go to catch Ye Chen in person.

The men in black crowded into Ye Chen's house one after another, rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for Ye Chen. In Lin Zhentian's opinion, even if Ye Chen knew martial arts, he would definitely not be able to resist so many people.

Suddenly, there was a wail in Ye Chen's house, and Lin Zhentian thought that his subordinates had caught Ye Chen, and he couldn't help but show a smile. However, after a moment, his face sank again, like a dark cloud in the sky, and he could twist out the water with a slight twist.

I saw that after a wail, there were people in the room howling one after another, and the black-clothed people who rushed in ran out desperately one by one, as if they had encountered a ghost.

"What's going on?

Lin Zhentian didn't care about these four subordinates, and came to the door of Ye Chen's house in a flash, grabbing a man in black is a scolding.

"Yes...... There is an ambush, and it is full of traps, and if you accidentally touch it, you will die. The man in black said in horror.

"Waste. ”

Lin Zhentian pushed the man in black away and went into the house, for him, the dragon scales were the most important thing, and there was no room for the slightest mistake.

When he entered the house, he saw that the house was in a dilapidated state, and there were men in black lying everywhere, most of them were dead, and only a few who were not dead were still worn, wailing in pain.

He was bent on getting the dragon scales as soon as possible, and he didn't care about these subordinates at all, he carefully searched every possible hiding place, trying to find Ye Chen as soon as possible. And the mechanism designed by Jiang Yingyue can only deal with those people in black, every time Lin Zhentian accidentally triggers it, he can easily dodge it.

After searching the entire house and not finding Ye Chen, Lin Zhentian suddenly burst out of fire in his heart, eager to break Ye Chen's body into pieces.

The battle between the four people outside and the old man also came to an end, the old man seized the opportunity, quickly shot and seriously injured one of the masters, a sword pierced his shoulder, one less person, and the other three suddenly doubled the pressure, and after more than ten moves, their decadence was revealed.

After more than ten moves, the old man defeated them all. After injuring them, the old man did not rush to take their lives, but turned around and flashed towards Ye Chen's house.

Lin Zhentian had already gone, facing him Ye Chen did not have the slightest chance of winning, for the old man, one more second to arrive, Ye Chen would have one more chance of survival.

He didn't know that Jiang Yingyue had set up a mechanism in the house, he had heard the wailing before, and thought it was caused by Ye Chen and the man in black.

Seeing him rushing towards this side, the dozen or so black-clothed people left at the door didn't dare to stop him at all, so they had to let him in.

As soon as he entered the door, the old man met Lin Zhentian, and the two fought without saying a word, and the already dilapidated house could not withstand the toss of the two, and collapsed everywhere.

No one knew how the two were fighting inside, only the sound of a crackling collision was heard. Just before the house collapsed, the two rushed out of the roof.

"That kid has escaped, why don't you chase after him!"

In the middle of the fight, Lin Zhentian suddenly yelled at his subordinates, who got his order and chased after him from behind. After the four masters heard this, except for the one who received a sword, they all dragged their injured bodies and followed.

"Brother Qingyun, why are you so hard? Can you and I fight to the death before you can stop? I am determined to win the dragon scales, and you can't protect him today. Tell him to hand over the dragon scales, and I can still spare you. Lin Zhentian said as he spoke.

"I'm not protecting him for the dragon scales, but for a promise made at the beginning, and people like you will never understand what a promise is. ”

The old man stared at him coldly, not daring to relax in the slightest. Although they were half a pound and eight taels thirty years ago, after so many years, no one knows each other's true strength, so they naturally have to be very energetic.

"Promise? That's just deceitful nonsense, do you know why you offended so many people in the first place, it's because you are stubborn and don't know how to be flexible. ”

"What if you can be flexible? It's not like you're someone else's puppet, someone else's minion. How many people have you killed for your so-called hegemony? Don't you feel guilty that Xiaorou died because of you?"

The old man roared loudly, remembering his sad past, and his sword momentum instantly strengthened a lot.

"Don't mention Xiaorou to me, you can't get out of her death, if you listened to me at the beginning, we wouldn't have fallen out, and she wouldn't have to be tormented between us. The justice you believe in, did they help you in the end? Not stabbing you in the back? Lin Zhentian did not show weakness, and also roared and criticized the old man angrily.

mentioned Xiao Rou, both of them were red, they both decided that the other party killed Xiao Rou, and they both wanted to avenge her, and gradually the two of them stopped keeping their hands, and they both used all their strength.

At this moment, Ye Chen's mother and son only cared about running away, and they didn't care about any direction at all. Ye Chen originally wanted to stay and help the old man, but he was still pulled away by Jiang Yingyue.

For her, Ye Chen is all she has, even if she wants her to exchange her life for Ye Chen's health, she will not hesitate to agree.

"Three hall masters, there are traces of walking here. ”

A man in black found the traces left by Ye Chen's mother and son escaping, and shouted loudly at the people behind.

"This trace is very fresh, it was just left, chase ......" A master took the lead in getting up and chasing after checking it.

"Just ahead, get on ......"

After chasing for a while, the master saw Ye Chen's mother and son from a distance and began to chase after him.

Ye Chen and the others also heard his shout, and couldn't help but speed up their pace.

Even if those three masters were injured, their strength was far above Ye Chen, and they narrowed the distance after a while.

Seeing that the target was close at hand, they all became excited, revealing hideous faces.

Looking back at the pursuers getting closer and closer, Ye Chen's mother and son became more and more panicked. They all knew what would happen to them, and it would be never-ending torture.

"You go first, and I'll stop them. ”

Jiang Yingyue stopped suddenly, catching Ye Chen off guard.

"Mother, what are you doing? Let's go together, I won't leave you." Ye Chen tugged at Jiang Yingyue's shoulders and begged her to go with him.

"Silly boy, none of us can leave, it's been twenty years, and you've grown up. In the future, your mother can't accompany you, you have to rely on yourself. Jiang Yingyue gently stroked Ye Chen's cheek and wiped away the overflowing tears for him.
