Chapter 120: The Outcome of the Battle
A round moon hung in the night, exuding a faint and bleak light.
At night, there are no stars and no clouds, only the bleak wind, or the coolness carried in the wind.
There was a faint smell of blood in the wind, and the corpses lying on their backs looked extremely eerie and terrifying under the moonlight.
These corpses are the corpses of the eight immortals who Duanmu Xiong ambushed inside.
In the center of Dokdo in Oolongtan is a ruined mansion that used to be Xiong Qiang's refuge after his fall, but now it seems to have been in ruins and dilapidation as if it had been in the midst of war.
Inside the room, a man dressed in white was sitting cross-legged, unable to see his face clearly, for he was wearing a hideous ghost mask on his face, and a faint white mist rose from his head, and his hand was a slowly changing handprint.
On all four sides of him sat four masked men in black shirts.
After a while, the man in white slowly opened his eyes, which were a pair of shining eyes with a cold light. The moment he opened his eyes, the four black-clothed men stood up in unison, as if they were prophets, and said to the white-shirted man, "Lord White Tiger." ”
The white tiger didn't answer, and after the cold gaze slowly swept over the four people, there seemed to be a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
The four people who were swept by the white tiger's cold gaze all lowered their heads, and they didn't seem to dare to look directly at the white tiger's gaze. After a while, one of the masked men said again: "Lord White Tiger, Duanmuxiong has been killed by Xiaoyaozi!"
Hearing this, Bai Hu didn't speak for a long time, and this result seemed to be both something he had already guessed and a complete surprise to him.
"Inform Qinglong that Duanmu Xiong was eager to win the merit and the plan failed, causing Xiaoyaozi and Bu Ying to escape, and Duanmu Xiong fell for Xiaoyaozi's poisonous plan in the process of chasing and killing Xiaoyaozi, and was killed. The white tiger said slowly, his tone was lonely, and he seemed to be full of helplessness.
"My lord, this ...... Would Lord Qinglong believe that?" said one of the men in black, with a somewhat evasive gaze, a little skeptical of the White Tiger's statement.
The white tiger shook his head and said, "He won't believe it, but do you think you can fool Qinglong with other excuses?"
"Since you can't hide it from Lord Qinglong, why don't you tell Lord Qinglong the truth?"
"Tell me the truth? is telling Qinglong that his Qinglong's information is wrong, and Bu Ying's martial arts are extremely hidden, and even he may not be able to deal with it?"
Those people were silent, if it was them, the first thought in their hearts was indeed to report to Qinglong like this, so at least the fault was not on themselves, but Qinglong's misestimation of Bu Ying's strength.
Baihu didn't explain, but said: "Just tell him like that! Although he knows that I am shirking responsibility, when he reports to the top, he will blame the whole thing on Duanmuxiong, a dead man." ”
"Why is your lord so sure, and if he falls into the well, won't it be very bad for him?"
"Qinglong is a smart man, and he knows that if I am punished for this, it will be difficult for him to carry out his plans in the future, and he needs my help. ”
"Your Excellency is wise!"
In addition, tell Qinglong that Bu Ying already knows his true identity, and ask him to send additional people to pay close attention to Bu Ying's movements, and never let Bu Ying return to the capital and see the emperor. White Tiger said again.
"My subordinates understand, I'll do it immediately!" the man said, bowing to the white tiger, and then swept towards the outside of the pool.
In this battle, as Xiaoyaozi expected, even if the White Tiger joined forces with the six immortals, they did not leave Bu Ying, but forced Bu Ying to be powerful and killed the six dead soldiers.
After fighting to the death with the white tiger, the white tiger was hit hard, but the white tiger had a deep nature, forcibly suppressed the injury, and concealed the injury, and at this time, the few entourages under the white tiger were also killed from the center of the island with Duanmu Xiong's subordinates.
The other party was overwhelming, and Bu Ying didn't dare to delay, for fear of falling into the fight again, so he also left the white tiger and left with his injuries.
Although the white tiger was injured, he was afraid that Bu Ying would see his injury and come back, so he was bold and led everyone to chase Bu Ying for several miles, so shocked that Bu Ying dragged his injury and fled. It wasn't until it was confirmed that Bu Ying had indeed escaped that the white tiger returned to the house in Oolong Pond to heal his injuries.
After watching the man in black leave, another big man in black also glanced at the white tiger and said, "My lord, what should we do now? Do you want to continue to hunt down Xiaoyaozi and Bu Ying?"
Hearing the three words "Xiaoyaozi", Baihu's eyes showed a sharp expression, and he said in a gloomy tone: "Hunting down Xiaoyaozi? If it weren't for you group of wastes, who have been entangled in the hands of the two dead wastes under Bu Ying for so long, how could it be Xiaoyaozi's turn to kill Duanmuxiong and then escape calmly?"
"Subordinates should die!" Although the man in black said this, there was not much fear on his face, he knew that the White Tiger would not kill them now, after all, even the White Tiger and Duanmu Xiong joined forces, but they could not leave Bu Ying and Xiaoyaozi, how could they be blamed for this great sin? Therefore, they knew that the reason why the White Tiger said this was just to shirk his own responsibility.
The white tiger snorted coldly, and his eyes with cold murderous intent stared at the big man's body, as if he could see through the secret in his heart, and said, "If I say this about you, you must not be convinced in your hearts, right?"
"The subordinates don't dare!"
"Don't you dare to confront Xiaoyaozi! The two of Blade's men were killed by Xiaoyaozi's sword, which makes you afraid of Xiaoyaozi like a tiger, so you deliberately took the opportunity to kill Bu Ying's two waste subordinates to delay the opportunity, the purpose is to avoid the confrontation with Xiaoyaozi, am I right?"
As soon as he heard the white tiger's words, the big man's kneeling body on the ground was already trembling with fright, and the beads of sweat on his forehead kept rolling down.
Coupled with the later dispute between Xiaoyaozi and Duanmuxiong, the fast sword in Xiaoyaozi's hand was forced to force even Duanmuxiong to fight back, and Xiaoyaozi's strength made them really give birth to the heart of avoiding war and saving their lives. They knew that on top of this level of confrontation, they would not be able to intervene at all, and if they forcibly intervened, then their fate would undoubtedly be extremely miserable.
Therefore, this big man could only take the opportunity of killing the Fei brothers to avoid the duel with opponents such as Bu Ying and Xiaoyaozi.
After all, people are life-conscious, even if they are killers.
Looking at his trembling subordinates at his feet, the white tiger gradually withdrew the chilling gaze that made people feel cold, although he walked away, there was indeed a reason why these people pursued unfavorably, but it was not the main reason, so he didn't blame him too much, just said coldly: "Next time there are people who avoid war, kill them on the spot, and show no mercy!"
As he spoke, the palm of the white tiger was raised, and a powerful force slapped out of the palm, and when he landed, he shook the dirt wall that had not completely collapsed, and most of it collapsed.
This powerful palm immediately frightened everyone, but they nodded in agreement.
After the White Tiger's anger calmed down a little, the big man had the courage to say, "My lord, what should we do now? Xiaoyaozi knows too many secrets, and he must not let him live another half a moment. ”
"I didn't kill him at such an opportunity, and it will be difficult to kill him in the future. He is the most proud disciple I have ever taught, and if he hadn't been willing to show up, you would have wanted to find him, which would be tantamount to an oriental night. When he said this, there seemed to be a trace of sentimentality in the meaning of the white tiger.
"It's just that the secret he knows, after the battle of Wumeng Valley, is actually not a secret, as long as our identities are not revealed, this secret will always be just a secret, and no one will know what is behind this secret, the most important thing now is to find the secret recipe from Xiong Qiang or Han Qiuyu, as long as you get this secret recipe, even if this secret is announced to the world, it doesn't matter. White Tiger said.
