Volume 2 Nine Heavens Xuangong Chapter 007 The Sneaking Thief
Hacha was originally a little hesitant, but after seeing the sword of Feng Budu, he already had fear in his heart, and decided that he would rather kill by mistake than let go, and with a wave of his hand, a huge iron hammer appeared in his hand. "In that case, it's no wonder that the old man is ruthless!"
Hacha was already concentrating on the Great Perfection, and a strong momentum erupted from his body, jumping up to the house like a tiger, shaking a large piece of rubble.
Feng Budu didn't want to hit his edge head-on, so he swept backwards, and when he was flying, Hacha actually jumped up again, and smashed towards Feng Budu, the position was impartial, and the combat experience was also extremely rich.
The wind could not be avoided, so it had to fight.
It's a pity that now that there is no Dragon Dao Xuanqi, the moves of the Dragon Slaying Gong can no longer be used, and the ordinary Xuanqi is already weak and powerless, and even a slightly stronger swordsmanship can't be used.
Fortunately, Qingfeng Academy has a wealth of martial arts classics, and I saw a lot of them at the beginning, and a clever swordsmanship was unleashed, and it was easy to swim in Hacha's powerful aura, and the occasional move was also as tricky as a poisonous snake, directly attacking Hacha's vital point.
However, in three rounds, Hacha fell behind, and with the excessive force just now, he was even more in danger when he encountered this tricky swordsmanship. However, Hacha had no choice but to make a steady move and escape after looking for an opportunity.
Feng Budu saw that Hacha showed a decline in only three moves, and couldn't help but laugh: "This kind of swordsmanship is called 'Mountain and Sea Swordsmanship', can Brother Ha still bear it?"
Hacha's face was stiff, although he and Feng Budu were the same cultivators of the Gathering God Realm, but Feng Budu's swordsmanship just now was obviously extremely exquisite, and his strength was far above his own, and he was defeated in three moves, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he had to convince him: "It seems that I underestimated you, but are you sure that you can escape from our heavy encirclement? What's more, the people from the major families in the town have also arrived!"
All the major families have arrived, wouldn't they want to become the target of the public, and there are also many secret agents and masters of the Nanban and Chu States hidden in the town without a trace, if their identities are really exposed, even if there are ever-changing disguise techniques, it is difficult not to leave the slightest trace.
The information about his escape from the Immortal Mountain is currently only known to the two Dragon Guard soldiers guarding the teleportation array, and the Dragon Guard should have been notified at this moment, but no one knows his specific whereabouts, and if he is exposed here, he will inevitably not be retaliated against.
In addition to the Dragon Guard's hatred of him to the bone, the Blood Knife Sect of the Southern Barbarians also included him in the hunt list, if his identity is really exposed, even if he is extremely talented, he does not have the ability to single-handedly take on one sect.
"Brother Ha, in that case, I'll take my leave first, junior brother!" Feng Budu took away the Divine Sword, and suddenly heard the fine metal trills rise in the night, which made people dizzy, and the sound was everywhere, as if there were monsters coming out of anywhere at any time.
Everyone panicked, and Hacha was even more shocked, he vaguely understood that this was the sound that would only be made when a high-level inscription weapon was urged, plus Feng Budu just now split Zhang Yuan's scimitar with a sword qi, but the Gathering God Realm has such strength, how can the origin be simple?
Just as everyone was preparing to fight, the metal trills stopped abruptly.
"He ran away!" Zhang Yuan stomped his feet angrily on the roof.
Hacha and the disciples looked back, and Feng Budu was gone, and boos and scolding were heard in the courtyard. In the night, several sounds of breaking the air also came from different directions, and more than a dozen figures landed around the refining workshop one after another.
"Master Hacha, what's disturbing?" asked the middle-aged man surnamed Wang from Yufeng Tower, and a few masters accompanied him behind him.
On the other side were the people of Baihualou, and when they saw the tense state in the refining workshop, they naturally understood that something big must have happened.
"That's the ......" Zhang Yuan was particularly angry, and he stood up to explain.
"Zhang Yuan!" Hacha scolded angrily, and Zhang Yuan came to his senses, "Just now there was a thief who sneaked into the hospital and was discovered by us, but unfortunately this thief was very slippery, we neglected for a while, and let him run away!"
Hacha explained that in front of the two landlords, he didn't mention the matter of the wind and the wind in front of the two landlords, after all, they couldn't know about his private possession of the soul stone, otherwise the two landlords would turn their faces and definitely attract death.
The main members of the two buildings looked at each other, both showing a little scorched, and asked, "How is the soul stone?"
Hacha said: "The two landlords can rest assured, the thief just came in and stole some ordinary weapons, and the soul stone was guarded by the old man himself, so he naturally couldn't get it, and asked the two landlords to go back first, and the old man also had to refine the soul stone, so as not to delay the opening of the furnace tomorrow!"
Hacha looked relaxed and calm, and hugged his fists at the two landlords, and the intention of sending off the guests was very obvious.
Yufeng and Baihua are close to the realm of protecting the body on the second floor, and they should naturally not take Hacha in their eyes when they are cultivated, but he is the only one in the entire Traceless Town who can refine the soul stone, so he naturally gives him some face, and after a few words of concern, he leads people back. Before leaving, the two landlords wanted to leave some masters to help the refining workshop impose martial law, but how could Hacha give them this opportunity, and they also refused.
The two landlords were naturally not at ease, but they each ordered people to hide around the refining workshop, one was to prevent the thieves from breaking into the refining workshop, and the other was to closely monitor the personnel of the refining workshop, and they didn't want to leave each other a chance to get close to the refining workshop.
Hacha sent the two landlords, and immediately summoned his disciples to tightly control the entire refining workshop, and almost every gate and passage was guarded, leaving no dead ends. On the other hand, he secretly sent a few clever disciples to find Feng Budu's whereabouts, but these people made a difficulty, and Feng Budu disappeared without a trace, and there was no place to start.
After the arrangements were made, Hacha gathered two disciples, one was Zhang Yuan, and the other was the dumb disciple. The three of them withdrew from the guards in the refining room and went in together.
A strange thing was happening, the gray-haired Hacha lowered his head, and looked respectful to the two disciples behind him.
The fire was blazing, and only three stones were placed in the furnace.
"Only three pieces?" Zhang Yuan looked at the smelting furnace, and suddenly roared at Hacha, and forced him over: "How is this enough?"
The dumb disciple stopped Zhang Yuan, and he gestured to Hachabi: "Don't sell it tomorrow, just explain to them that you were disturbed tonight and did not succeed in refining." ”
"That's not the crux of the problem, right?" Zhang Yuan snorted coldly, "The question is why there are only three pieces today, we helped you collect enough materials to refine five pieces, and you only provided three pieces, we naturally dare not doubt Master Hacha's ability, so we can only think that your precious apprentice is lazy!"
"Are we going to give him guidance in this way?" Zhang Yuan's tone was full of threat.
Hacha's fists clenched tightly, suppressing the anger in his heart, and explained: "No, Lihai he did a good job, but I was too tired these days and didn't keep up with the progress, if the adults want to punish him, please punish me, Lihai has endured enough, he is still a child!"
Zhang Yuan enjoyed this feeling, holding Hacha firmly in his hands, playing with him like a dog, even though this person had taught him for years. "I don't care, submit at least four pieces tomorrow, if you dare to submit these three pieces and delay the adult above, you know what the consequences are!"
An elderly person like Hacha should have looked down on the world, but at this time, he was almost defeated by a yellow-haired boy and completely broke out. Then he thought about his poor disciple, and finally held back.
The dumb disciple wanted to dissuade him from being so harsh on Hacha, who had the grace of cultivation with him and Zhang Yuan, but unfortunately, since that adult came, Zhang Yuan seemed to be a different person, irritable and ruthless. At the moment, it was only in front of him and Hacha, but once he was untied, I am afraid it would be the same for everyone.
Zhang Yuan opened the door and left, and the dumb disciple stayed for a while and left.
Hacha looked at the stone in the furnace, as if his heart hurt a little more at one more look, and finally he couldn't bear to look at it. "Lihai, Master will definitely rescue you, you just need to wait a few more days!"
As soon as he thought of Zhang Yuan, Hacha's face was swallowed by pain and remorse, when Zhang Yuan and the dumb disciples were exiled to his refining workshop, he relented for a moment and took them in, and after nearly ten years of good upbringing, not only did not let Zhang Yuan have the slightest sense of gratitude, but raised a femme fatale, and buried today's catastrophe for himself.
Compared with Zhang Yuan, the dumb disciple's temperament is much better, but after all, he is not his own person, and he is very grateful for not harming him.
Since Zhang Yuan proposed that four pieces must be submitted, then there is really no one missing, if he can't submit it tomorrow, then the mad dog will definitely retaliate madly, and the bitter fruit will not fall on himself and his apprentice in the end.
Pacing back and forth in the refining room, his eyes were full of exhaustion, but he thought that there was really no other way, and he could help him share some of the burden when the wind was not crossed, and now all the tasks could only be completed by him and his apprentice.
He sealed the furnace and quietly left the refining workshop, all the way south to the edge of the desert without a trace.
There is no life in the desert without a trace, only the dry and cold sand wind is whistling, according to the rules of the town without a trace, this is already a dangerous zone, it is natural to lose your life, and it is luck not to lose your life.
Hacha didn't stop, and continued to walk towards the desert, and there seemed to be something more rustling in the whistling wind. Hacha's face turned pale suddenly, and a green soul stone appeared in his hand, waving it around, like a hunter using a torch to drive away wild beasts, but there was obviously nothing around.
It wasn't until the rustling sound disappeared that he relaxed a little, and by this time he was almost sweating profusely, as if it was even more difficult than his refining tools.
After walking about a mile, a strange green fire appeared in the desert night, which seemed to be invisible, and even though the wind was howling, it was unaffected, and it was faintly beating.
The fire was no taller than a foot, and it grew on the sand, but the thought of what was beneath the sand sent a chill down his spine sent chills down his spine. Then another one sprang up next to the green fire, and the new green flame was still a little fragile, but soon grew in size, until it was a foot high, and it ceased to grow, and burned steadily.
Hacha did not stop at these two green fires, but continued to move forward until hundreds of green fires appeared in front of his eyes, like a sea of green fire, dancing faintly, with a terrifying aura.
