Chapter 177: The Threshold of Life and Death

In the east of Bianliang City, the mountains in the suburbs are Liang Weng Mountain, which has the legend of Xianweng. The legend is not true, of course, but there are indeed many unique places on this mountain. The mountain road on Liang Weng Mountain, there are clear trails - that is the traces of the crowd stepping out, it is indeed clear and clear, but there are also many little-known paths, running through the depths of the mountain, if unfamiliar passers-by mistakenly enter the trail, it is very likely that they will not be able to get out smoothly. And before Xiao Tian and Su Jia came out of Plum Blossom Villa, it was the clear path that Gao Ying told them, which led directly to the east gate of Bianliang City.

As we all know, there are also many kinds of medicinal herbs on Liang Weng Mountain, and these medicinal herbs are often grown on remote trails that are rarely passed. And the medicinal materials that Huang Ji was looking for tonight were also on the remote road of Liang Weng Mountain.

The suburbs in the east of Bianliang City are already more pedestrianized than other suburbs. But at night, the vast countryside is still very lonely. The night market in Bianliang is bustling, but when you go to the suburbs, it's a different atmosphere.

Tonight's cold wind was very strong, Huang Ji walked alone in the empty suburbs, and the wind swept Huang Ji's cheeks. Listening to the tearing sound of "huh-huh" in my ears, the thin sleeves were blown and swayed.

"The wind is really strong tonight...... Huang Ji couldn't help muttering, but the howling sound of the wind instantly buried Huang Ji's voice.

There are not many trees in the suburbs, and most of the suburbs are empty flat land for the purpose of training troops at the city gate to defend against the enemy, and when the wind is in turmoil, there are often bursts of sand and dust.

The violent wind and sandstorm constantly hit the city east of Bianliang City, and even the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall could not concentrate on standing and defending. Huang Ji didn't have the time to turn back. He is now thinking about walking into Liang Weng Mountain, after all, if he enters the mountain, he will be much less affected by the wind and sand.

The night is getting darker. When I arrived in the mountains of Liangweng Mountain, it was so dark that I couldn't see the surrounding flowers and plants clearly. Huang Ji walked on the remote path shrouded in darkness, relying on his memory and sense of direction, and groped forward step by step. The cold sound of cicadas in my ears gave people a faint sense of slaughter.

Suddenly, there was an irregular sound of wind and grass behind Huang Ji from time to time. Huang Ji seemed to feel something unusual, but he didn't look back. He just paused, quietly listening to the unnatural sounds behind him.

But when Huang Ji stopped, everything around him seemed to be quiet again. Only the sound of cicadas remains.

Huang Ji stopped for a long time, but he didn't find anything, and he couldn't help but feel that he was thinking too much about it.

So, Huang Ji still didn't look back. Keep going.

After a while. Behind him, there was an irregular sound of wind and grass. Huang Ji wondered if it would be the same as just now, so he slowly stopped again. But whenever Huang Ji stopped, the footsteps behind him stopped.

Huang Ji couldn't help but be a little puzzled, he thought about it, and continued to walk forward.

Immediately afterward, there was another sound of grass moving. Huang Ji stopped again, but this time he didn't stop for long, and walked forward again. There was the sound of grass moving again. Huang Ji stopped again, and it didn't take long for him to walk forward. Back and forth. Over and over again, Huang Ji just stopped and went.

Huang Ji's heart didn't feel tight, and whenever he stopped, the sound of grass moving behind him disappeared. But every time he walked forward again, there would be an unnatural sound of grass moving behind him, which made Huang Ji feel a little worried. But from beginning to end, Huang Ji did not look back once.

"Squeak—" Occasionally, there was the sound of branches breaking on the head or back.

Huang Ji's ears were very pointed, and he noticed that there were signs of life behind him. It could also be a beast on the mountain, after all, this is a remote path with few people, and the appearance of a beast is not entirely possible. Moreover, when wild beasts hunt their prey, they always follow their prey closely.

But Huang Ji didn't think right, the prey that hunted at night was usually a tiger in the mountains. But the sound of the branch breaking just now was very soft, not like some behemoth, unless it ...... Huang Ji was shocked in his heart, maybe the one behind was a person!

As soon as he thought of this, Huang Ji's heart was completely raised to his throat, and he didn't dare to slack off at every step.

"Someone will follow me, is it coming at me?" Huang Ji kept breaking out in a cold sweat on his head, pondering in his heart, "It's not impossible to be on the remote trail of Liangweng Mountain at night, but what about weishenme......"

Huang Ji thought in his heart, and he didn't dare to relax his vigilance. While he was paying attention to the movement behind him with his ears, he was also observing whether there would be any traps or something like the road in front of him, and his heart was still thinking, and his whole body was in a state of high tension.

"Whew-", suddenly a gust of wind came from the tuyere in front of Huang Ji, and the sound swept past Huang Ji's ears. There seemed to be some big movement behind Huang Ji, but it was muffled by the sound of the yin wind blowing just now. Huang Ji was nervous again, but he still didn't look back, and after pausing for a moment, he continued to walk forward in the dark......

After several detours forward, Huang Ji did not let his guard down along the way. I came to a relatively open flat area - there are some strange flowers and plants growing around here.

"That's it—" Huang Ji whispered.

This flat land is surrounded by tall trees, and the humidity is not low, and the sunlight does not reflect all of it during the day, and some exotic grasses that prefer shade and humidity naturally grow here. And these are the medicinal materials that Huang Ji has been looking for, almost all of them are concentrated here, it seems that the environment here provides a very rare growth environment for these exotic flowers and plants.

Since Huang Ji walked into Liang Weng Mountain, his pace has been very slow. Came to this open flat land, reflecting the bright moonlight pouring from top to bottom, and all the scenes around came into the eyes of Huang Ji.

Seeing that everything around him was normal, Huang Ji's heart finally let go of a little: "What's wrong with me today, how can I worry so much, obviously nothing, but I panicked in my heart......"

Huang Ji looked at the medicinal herbs to be picked on the ground, ready to pick, and was careful even when he bent over. After feeling that there was indeed nothing around, Huang Ji dared to lower his head and select the medicinal materials that had grown and matured.

Huang Ji took out a small bag containing medicine from his waist. It is still very careful to slowly pack the picked herbs into the bag......

I don't know how long it took, but there was another gust of wind around me. The wind was strange today, obviously in the middle of the jungle. The flat land was surrounded by tall trees as barriers, but it was still an unusual wind. After a while, the tall branches of the surrounding trees began to sway, and the dense foliage that seemed like mottled black shadows in the dark night also began to sway.

The swaying of the leaves gradually formed a circle, and after a while, all the leaves around were swaying. The silent night gradually turned into a noisy field of leaves.

Huang Ji Zuihou put his hand on the root of a medicinal herb, and his hand suddenly stopped. Huang Ji's heart trembled, as if he realized something. Huang Ji's eyes closed. With a strong finger, Zuihou took off the herb, slowly put it into the small bag, and tied the bag. Pinned to the body.

Huang Ji slowly stood up. Slowly raising his head, Zuihou opened his eyes-

The swaying sound of the leaves shrouded in the dark night stopped abruptly in an instant, and under the bright moonlight, Huang Ji's surroundings were full of dense people.

Dozens of black-clothed assassins stood all around Huang Ji, all holding silver knives in their hands, the cold light was sharp, and the eyes under the mask were full of cold murderous aura.

This is the golden killer hired by Nangong Zhun, dozens of killers standing together. Like an iron wall, Huang Ji was surrounded in the center. Huang Ji looked around and knew that these black-clothed assassins were coming for him. The tension in my heart is a little less.

If he encounters a situation, according to common sense, Huang Ji should ask the other party's purpose first. However, there was too much confusion in Huang Ji's heart today, and at the same time, he was extremely determined, looking at the dozens of black-clothed assassins around him, Huang Ji didn't want to say anything, just clenched his fists with both hands, and simply moved his muscles and bones.

A battle in the dark is inevitable......

Dark clouds drifted by, obscuring the pouring of moonlight. A gust of cold wind swept by, and there was a regular sound of grass moving......

"Whoosh-" With a bang, a black-clothed assassin directly shot the silver knife in his hand in front of Huang Ji. Huang Ji's eyes were sharp, his knees were slightly bent, and he suddenly rose to the ground, flipped in mid-air, and dodged directly.

However, these black-clothed assassins seemed to be acting straightforwardly, and before the silver knife could fly past its target, the three assassins rushed towards Huang Ji. Not to mention, the speed of these three assassins was not slow, and before Huang Ji could land, they had already swung their knives and jumped in front of Huang Ji.

"Rub - rub" The two black-clothed assassins drew their knives and passed through Huang Ji's waist. Huang Ji didn't completely control the balance, so he had to use his two feet in the air to subconsciously kick at the heads of the two knife-wielding black-clothed assassins.

"Bang bang-" There were two muffled sounds, and the two black-clothed assassins were kicked away by Huang Ji. However, their balance was quite good, and Huang Ji's attack did not completely shake them. The knife of one of them did not deviate too much, and when the knife went down, it still left a blood mark on Huang Ji's calf.

"Ahh

However, before Huang Ji could fully stand up, the third assassin had already rushed up, and the speed of swinging the knife was not at all too fast for Huang Ji to dodge again.

Huang Ji saw that he couldn't dodge, his whole body gathered together, and his palms moved forward. A golden palm halo was the "Shaolin King Kong Palm", and the internal force as hard as a rock was directly connected, breaking the silver knife in the black-clothed assassin's hand, and using the remaining strength to knock it several feet away.

However, before Huang Ji could catch his breath, five black-clothed assassins followed him, and at the same time, they raised their knives and slashed towards him. Huang Ji saw it, his steps stepped forward, and the whole person temporarily withdrew backwards.

The black-clothed assassin was in hot pursuit, and Huang Ji kept retreating. While retreating, Huang Ji took the opportunity to pull out the folding fan on his waist, ready to counterattack.

Huang Ji's right hand gathered the internal force, and the internal force gathered in the folding fan in his hand, and the "Lingyun Slash" came out. I saw that after Huang Ji's right hand conveyed the internal force to the folding fan in his hand, his right hand plus the folding fan was like a shining and quick silver knife. Huang Ji must be a god, and the "silver knife" with a fan in his hand quickly slashed towards the crowd in front of him.

The "hand fan silver knife" and the silver knives of the five black-clothed assassins collided, and the "Lingyun Slash" cut layers of sparks on the black-clothed assassin's knife, although Huang Ji himself was retreating, but the black-clothed assassins who rushed up were subjected to a strong suppression, and they couldn't support it on the front.

Huang Ji saw it. Suddenly, a low body and a spin back, the "Lingyun Slash" flashed a bright silver light in the dark night. The silver light passed through the waists of the five black-clad assassins like meteors...... There was not even a scream, and the five black-clad assassins fell in an instant.

Huang Ji killed five, wanting to take this opportunity to stop and stand still. However, before Huang Ji could react, there was at least a black-clothed assassin behind him swinging his knife at the same time.

Huang Ji didn't think much about it, his retreating body continued to turn around, and "Lingyun Slash" reappeared. Several streaks of silver light swam among the dense silver knives of the black-clad assassins, making alternating metal collision sounds.

However. The black-clothed assassins, who are golden killers, are naturally not vegetarians, and with the previous lesson, this time they are also smart. Huang Ji followed the trend of retreating and turned to attack, but the black-clothed assassin swung his knife but avoided the battle. Wait until Huang Ji's momentum is bad. The black-clothed assassin flanked Huang Ji again. In the form of a bag, the "sea of knives" swung down.

Two fists are hard to beat four hands, and Huang Ji's folding fan can't resist both sides, so he has to speed up his pace and jump forward to break away from the encirclement. However, the speed was not enough, and there were a few more blood marks on the body, and the white robe was suddenly dyed red.

After Huang Ji broke out of the encirclement, he rolled on the ground again. And then he got back on his feet.

Huang Ji gasped for breath in his mouth, but he didn't have much time to adjust. Because the vast number of black-clad assassins once again swung their knives at him.

Huang Ji endured the severe pain, and in the face of dozens of bright and dangling silver knives, Huang Ji opened the fan of the folding fan, and gathered his internal strength in his hand to the fan surface - dozens of knife tips pierced the fan made of Huang Ji paper at the same time, although Huang Ji used all his strength, he still couldn't resist the silver knives of dozens of golden killers. In just an instant, Huang Ji's fan was pierced by the tip of the silver knife. Huang Ji's eyes were fixed, and he immediately threw away the folding fan in his hand, and the whole person dodged to the side.

Without a weapon in his hand, facing the remaining dozens of black-clothed assassins, layers of sweat had already appeared on Huang Ji's forehead.

"Is there no other way than that move, but that move ......" Huang Ji has been nervous in his heart.

However, those black-clothed assassins known as the "Golden Killer" naturally did not give Huang Ji a chance to breathe, and they were divided into two ways, swinging their knives at Huang Ji from left to right.

"Ah-" Huang Ji shouted, his hands were full of internal force, and two King Kong palms came out left and right, wiping the ground with the momentum of a tsunami of mountains and mountains.

Two golden palms came out from the left and right, and the black-clothed assassins on the left and right saw it, temporarily retreated, and gradually resisted with the back of their knives.

The collision of internal forces, coupled with Liliang's sharing, dozens of black-clothed assassins only took a few steps back.

Huang Ji saw it in his eyes, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and then, he roared angrily, and the left and right King Kong palms came out together, and the golden palms rushed away with overwhelming momentum again.

However, this time, the black-clothed assassins did not retreat much, and saw that the dozens of black-clothed assassins on the left and right did not show weakness, and at the same time gathered their palms, trying to fight hard.

Sure enough, no matter how amazing Huang Ji's internal force is, the internal strength of dozens of golden killers is definitely not inferior to Huang Ji. This time the sudden internal force collided, and the ground was all deformed, and the black-clothed assassin not only completely blocked Huang Ji's two Vajra palms, but also concentrated his remaining strength on Huang Ji's left and right.

Huang Ji had no choice but to continue to resist...... Suddenly, a powerful internal force flew to Huang Ji's chest, Huang Ji spit out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person was rushed to the big tree behind him unable to stand firmly.

Huang Ji's back hit the trunk of the tree hard, and the whole person vomited another mouthful of blood, unable to stand firm immediately.

This time, the black-clothed assassin slowed down, looked at Huang Ji, who seemed to be dying, and felt that he had no strength left to resist, so he surrounded and slowly raised his knife and walked towards Huang Ji.

Huang Ji held on to the trunk of the tree behind him and slowly stood up - he seemed to still have strength, although his body was red with blood, but the whole person was still able to move freely. Huang Ji slowly straightened up, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth slightly with his hand, and then stared at the dozens of black-clothed assassins in front of him.

Seeing that Huang Ji still had strength, the black-clothed assassin spared no effort, and dozens of people raised their knives at the same time and continued to walk towards Huang Ji.

Huang Ji looked at the black-clothed assassin who rushed up, and said secretly in his heart: "I'm sorry, father-in-law, Ji'er is forced today, I am willing to forgive Ji'er......"

Seeing that the black-clothed assassin's silver knife had arrived in front of him, Huang Ji closed his eyes instead, and there was no trace of concern in his heart......

After a fierce battle, the moonlight finally re-reflected from the gap in the dark clouds, and the trunk of the tree where Huang Ji was standing just now was stained with blood...... (To be continued......)
