Volume I, Chapter XVI

Night. Deep. But it's still a little noisy. It seems that in the silent night, even the wind blowing the leaves is like a murderous knife.

At this time, a man in black in the Ruyan Pavilion turned out a sword from Lu Xingyun's bed.

"Sure enough, it's the Water Cold Sword. The man in black pulled out half of the sword, looked at it, and said in a hoarse voice. Then he quickly thrust his sword back. Immediately after, the man in black turned around with the Shui Han Sword and flew towards the night outside the window.

At the same time that the man in black flew into the night, another man in black from nowhere chased in the direction where the man in black flew just now.

Lu Xingyun was shocked when he heard the sound of the window closing.

"Not good," Lu Xingyun said in a low voice. Pushing open the door quickly, he saw the flame of the candle on the table blowing right towards him. The room had been turned upside down, and it was clear that the Shui Han Sword had been stolen.

"It's still late. Lu Xingyun said secretly.

I saw Lu Xingyun's hands slammed apart to the sides, and he flew out of the open window like a nightingale. All that was left was an illegible afterimage.

At the same time that Lu Xingyun flew out of the window, the back of a man in black behind him just disappeared into the dark night.

Lu Xingyun tapped the windowsill with his left foot without hesitation, and chased after the disappearing black shadow like an arrow off the string.

At night in Cloudtown, the fog is not ordinary.

When Lu Xingyun came to the place where the man in black disappeared just now, he was engulfed in this mist. It all happened so fast, as if the Man in Black had never appeared.

But Lu Xingyun did not hesitate to chase in one direction. In addition to the swordsman's intuition, there is also Lu Xingyun's keen observation.

Although the fog is very large, and it seems to be the same all around, there is still a slight difference in this maze-like fog. That is, the fog is a little loose in one direction, and even the fog on both sides has a tendency to gather towards it.

This proves that in this direction just now, someone must have walked by, and the speed was very fast, otherwise there would not have been this fog gathering towards it. Imagine if you walked slowly, would you leave such a noticeable movement in such a fog? Apparently not. There is only one possibility, that is, someone will quickly shuttle through with light skills.

It seems very complicated, but in fact, these just appeared in Lu Xingyun's mind in an instant.

Lu Xingyun relied on this judgment to chase in the direction where the man in black disappeared. Later facts proved that Lu Xingyun's judgment was also correct.

"It seems that this person's light skills will not be bad, and he has not caught up after chasing for so long. Lu Xingyun was running through the night while thinking about the origin of the man in black.

It's just that what Lu Xingyun doesn't know is that there are two people in black.

In this way, after Lu Xingyun tracked for half an hour, he still didn't catch up. But Lu Xingyun could feel that he was not far from the man in black. The distance is gradually being narrowed.

Half an hour, with Lu Xingyun's light skills, he had already left Cloud Town.

Where this is, Lu Xingyun doesn't know. However, this is not a plain area, but in an unknown jungle.

Because the fog here is very thick and there is a lot of humidity. Surrounded by tall old trees. In this dark night, it seems even more eerie.

Lu Xingyun didn't fly into the jungle rashly, hesitated for a moment and walked in slowly.

Just as Lu Xingyun walked into the jungle, in the depths of the jungle......

The man in black who was walking in front did not run forward, but suddenly turned around in the air, and with a spill of his hand, he shot dozens of darts at the man in black behind him. Then he quickly stepped on a tree trunk, and with the force of the recoil, he stabbed the man in black with his sword as the dart was fired.

It all happened in a flash of lightning. If it were to be changed, even if ordinary people dodged these dozens of darts, they would also die under this sudden sword. And not everyone can stop that dart.

This dart is not an ordinary bone-piercing needle, willow leaf dart or the like. The dart is a glaring sight in the night. Because it is red, red like blood. And the shape of this dart is very special and beautiful. It is in the shape of a rose, a blood-colored rose dart. On the rivers and lakes, this is a sign. Only the so-called "Deadly Rose, Blood Lady" can make it out. Since it is a rose-like shape, it will be a special technique to make it. And it is not the rose that is terrifying, but the fragrance of roses at the same time as this dart is emitted, and this fragrance will make people temporarily lose their minds and immerse themselves in beautiful fantasies. You must know that if the master makes a move, he may lose his life if he loses his mind for a short time.

You know, under normal circumstances, this rose dart will only appear the same at a time. Even if it is unanimous, it will kill others. This time, however, dozens of branches suddenly appeared. But even so......

At the moment when the blood lady stabbed out with her sword. The Blood Lady's eyes shrank violently, as if sensing the danger coming.

Because she saw that all these dozens of darts were empty and inserted into the tree behind the man in black. None of them hit the man in black. Not a single branch. This is the first and last time the Blood Lady misses.

"You're wondering why I didn't lose my mind and be shot into a hornet's nest by your darts. The man in black said sarcastically.

The Blood Lady didn't speak. Instead, he stared at the man fiercely. It seemed familiar to her, though his voice had changed. But the blood lady still heard it. This person is none other than his buddy Ah Xiang. Only Ah Xiang can not be confused by her fragrance. Because Ah Xiang is a member of the Xu family.

"Yes, you can guess who I am. Ah Xiang said coldly. This voice is indeed Ah Xiang.

"I told you you were too anxious. I warned you the last time I went to Sanssouci Valley. I know, you want to sit in my place. Just take this opportunity to take away the water cold sword. Go and ask for credit from above. It's a pity......" Ah Xiang looked at the blood lady with some pity and said.

The blood lady's heart tightened. Obviously, Ah Xiang was right.

"Yes. So what. Now that you know, then I'll ...... too" The Blood Lady spoke, and as soon as her body moved, she was about to raise her sword and stab at Ah Xiang.

However, the Blood Lady will never have this chance. Because at this moment, the Blood Lady has fallen.

However, the Blood Lady is not dead, and there is still a glimmer of life.

"Don't be surprised. Since you know that I am a member of the Xu family, you should know what I do. Rest assured, since you're dying. I'll let you die too. It's not that I'm going to kill you, it's what I said. This Water Cold Sword must currently be in Lu Xingyun's hands, and if you move the Water Cold Sword, you will have to die. Anyway, Lu Xingyun already suspects you. After saying this, Ah Xiang looked back cautiously, for he heard footsteps approaching this way.

"It seems that Lu Xingyun has arrived. Ah Xiang whispered as he walked quickly to the Blood Lady's side. When he squatted down and took away the Shui Han Sword, he gave the Blood Lady another palm. Then it quickly disappeared into the jungle.

Lu Xingyun just heard the sound of the dozens of darts from the Blood Lady taping to the tree, so he quickly rushed here. Maybe the sound of a dart ordering a tree is not loud, but the sound of these dozens of branches together is loud.

After all, this jungle is unfamiliar to Lu Xingyun, and it is at night, so it slows down.

Ah Xiang disappeared for a while before Lu Xingyun came here.

"It looks like I'm still late!" Lu Xingyun sighed.

Lu Xingyun looked around and found nothing abnormal, before walking towards the man in black.

"The Shui Han Sword is no longer there, it seems that it was taken by another person. Who could this man be? Could it be...... She is the only one who knows......" Lu Xingyun thought as he squatted down and took off the masked black scarf of the man in black.

I saw that the blood lady at this time was bleeding from seven orifices, like a blood-red rose.

Sure enough, it's you, "Deadly Rose, Blood Lady." I should have guessed the day I came to the inn. The blood-like rose, although it was on a hand towel. Lu Xingyun said lightly.

"You...... You...... You're here......" The Blood Lady said intermittently, with blood still flowing from her mouth.

Lu Xingyun suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly picked up the proprietress up. Desperately losing on the boss lady is really angry.

"It's useless...... I...... You...... You're going to worry-free...... Sanssouci Valley ...... There's there" The Blood Lady lost her breath after speaking.

"Boss lady, where is Sanssouci Valley, where is there, boss lady!" Lu Xingyun shook the boss lady's gradually cold body and said eagerly.
