Chapter 602: In front of the City God Temple
Simon Hitomi jumped onto a branch in a single leap, hiding his figure in the shadows, even if he walked under the tree, he couldn't see it.
The main masters of the "Fugui League" will definitely participate in the siege and killing of the masters of various factions in northern Henan in Qijiazhuang, and within half an hour, the war in Qijiazhuang should not be over, in other words, Zuo Junhua and other masters will not have time to chase them out, even if the "Fugui League" wants to search the city, it will not start so soon.
Therefore, within half an hour, it should still be safe to move in the city, and it is also the best time to go out of the city at night.
Ximen Hitomi knew that Mo Yu's arrangement was very reasonable, but he didn't intend to act completely according to her arrangement, if Mo Yu hadn't arrived within half an hour, he would never go out of the city alone. Since the two of them came to Huaiqing City together, they must go back together, which is also a matter that Ximen Hitomi has already decided.
From Biluo Village all the way to Huaiqing City, and in the two days in the city, Ximen Hitomi has been gambling with Mo Yu, treating her as an opponent who competes with each other. He really couldn't tolerate losing to this little girl who was still a year or two behind him in everything.
But now, that thinking has changed. Since she was rescued by her under Zuo Junhua's silver whip when she broke through, Ximen Hitomi's idea of winning this little girl's battle suddenly disappeared, and now if Mo Yu encounters danger, Ximen Hitomi will definitely help her, even if she won't admit it verbally, but in fact, Ximen Hitomi no longer sees her as an opponent, but as a companion.
Companions are very different from opponents, and there is no need to worry about who is stronger than the other, and the most important thing is to cooperate with each other to deal with common enemies. When times of crisis, it is the responsibility of our fellow partners to support and support each other.
And once the competitive heart is removed, Ximen Hitomi's perception of Mo Yu has improved a lot in an instant: she has a beautiful appearance, a slender figure, she can be called a little beauty, her personality is also elf and cute, she has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, she has a wide range of knowledge, and her martial arts are also very good.
Whether it is her previous ability to collect intelligence, as well as the speculation that the "Iron Elephant Gang" is controlled by outsiders, as well as her calmness and analysis of the situation when breaking through, her scheming ability makes Ximen Hitomi not admire.
Speaking of which, she is indeed the ideal companion.
With so many advantages, even if she sometimes speaks a little bitterly and has a strange temper that does not allow others to drink, it is not intolerable for the sake of her being a little girl. After all, as a man, Ximen Hitomi shouldn't be too stingy, and sometimes it's natural to let a girl go.
Standing on the branch of the locust tree, Hitomi Saimen was a little surprised to find that he would think like this. He fixed his mind and stared at the movement on the street on the west side under the tree, if Mo Yu returned to the inn and got the map, he should come from that street.
Little by little, time passed slowly.
The moon and stars are sparse in the night sky, but the small street has always been empty, and there is no one to see. But at this moment, his heart suddenly froze, because he faintly heard the sound of gold and iron and shouting from a distance.
Ximen Tong pricked up his ears, listened intently, and immediately judged that the direction in which the voice came from was the west, could it be that Mo Yu was intercepted by the master of the 'Fugui League' on the road, and the two sides were fighting?
Thinking of this, Ximen Hitomi immediately couldn't stay any longer, and jumped off the tree in a vertical way. He thought for a moment, and with the strength of his fingertips, he carved a mark on the trunk at the base of the big locust tree. This is a mark commonly used by people in the underworld, and its meaning is to tell the other party that they are going to investigate, and to point out the direction of going.
What Ximen Hitomi learned in the "Vicious Dog Annex" is not only martial arts, but also a lot of complicated knowledge, and this mark is also one of them. Just because the fighter in the distance was not necessarily Mo Yu, he carved this mark, just to prevent Mo Yu from missing it. Although Mo Yu is young, she is more shrewd than ** Lake, and Ximen Hitomi believes that as long as she comes under the tree, she will be able to understand this mark.
After carving the marker, Simon Hitomi sneaked away in the direction from which the voice came.
Although stealing in the dark night is not Ximen Hitomi's strength, but the stealth technique is based on light skills, his light skills are strong, and when he flies, he hides his body with the help of the shadows of the corners and eaves of the wall, which is not inferior to the stealth skills of ordinary underworld masters. Soon he had crossed two streets, and found that the sound was coming from the left, and the clashing of weapons and the shouting of the hands were more clearly audible.
It was late at night, and it was very quiet in all directions, so the sound of the fight could be heard so far. Ximen Pupil crossed several roof beams again, and saw a large open space in front of him, the open space was overgrown with wild grass, but on the opposite side was a very dilapidated building, and the three words on the wooden plaque hanging obliquely on the forehead of the door were vaguely recognizable, which was the "City God Temple".
This place is obviously where the City God Temple in Huaiqing City is located, but this temple has obviously been abandoned for a long time, not only is there no half of the monks, but even the roof and the walls have collapsed half.
Ximen Hitomi had already come to the clearing, but he turned around sharply and hid behind a half-human-high bush next to him. He saw eight men in strong suits standing not far in front of him, each holding a weapon and a torch in his hand, and he saw that the outfits were all members of the "Iron Elephant Gang" in Qijiazhuang, and the other two people were fighting, and the sound he heard earlier was from them.
Because the roof and walls of the City God Temple are missing half of them, and there is the reflection of firelight, although the two sides are fighting in the temple, the Ximen Pupil outside the house can also see clearly, and he knows that it is Li Shaoyou and Shi Shouming. Not long ago, Ximen Hitomi had just broken up with Li Shaoyou in the city, and he didn't expect to see him here again so soon.
The two men in the temple were both wielding swords, and the fight was very fierce, obviously they were fighting for their lives, only to see a little spark burst out of the place where the two long swords were entangled! And the eight men in strong suits were guarding the gap between the temple gate and the wall, obviously to prevent Li Shaoyou from escaping.
Shi Shouming is the leader of the "Changkong Gang", his swordsmanship is higher than Li Shaoyou, and he has obviously gained the upper hand at this moment.
Li Shaoyou was already a little in a hurry, he could only barely parry, and he had no strength to fight back, while shouting loudly: "The surname Shi, everyone is a fellow Daoist in Yujing, do you really want to kill them all, and refuse to leave a way for Li to live!"
Shi Shouming sneered: "If it is in Qijiazhuang, you surrender to join the alliance or you can still get your life, now that the leader of the left alliance has issued a strict order, all those who escape from the village will be killed, no wonder Shi is ruthless!"
As he spoke, the sword moves in his hand tightened, and Li Shaoyou was forced to the statue of the City God Bodhisattva in the room. This clay statue of the City God Bodhisattva has been mottled, but it is quite huge, and there is a two-foot-high stone seat under him, seeing that Li Shaoyou was forced to retreat to the front of the stone seat, there is nowhere to retreat, and he will be defeated within three or five moves.
Ximen Tong and Li Shaoyou don't have much friendship, but they finally escaped from Qijiazhuang together just now, and they can't watch him being killed, and now the "Rich Alliance" seems to be only Shi Shouming, a master here, and the gang members of the "Iron Elephant Gang" are not enough, and it seems that it is not difficult to save people.
However, when Ximen Hitomi was about to jump out, his heart suddenly moved, and he stopped and shrank back behind the grass. Just because he saw that although Li Shaoyou was defeated, although he had been retreating, he still had rules when he came out of the sword to block the frame, which seemed to be an intentional move to lure the enemy.
It is only because Ximen Tong's talent and martial arts are higher than the two who fought each other that he can see this section, but Shi Shouming didn't notice it at all, but was sure that he was sure of victory, and he shouted in his mouth, and the sword in his hand was Huo Huo, and he fought hard to attack Li Shaoyou with a sword.
At this moment, I saw a green shadow suddenly jump out from behind the clay Buddha statue, the blue light flashed, and two cold blades cut straight down Shi Shouming's neck like the wind!
The Ximen pupil hidden outside the temple could see clearly that the person who jumped out from behind the Buddha statue was Huang Biyun, the female owner of "Qixiazhuang". It turned out that after the four of them broke up, Li Shaoyou did not separate from Huang Biyun, but found this dilapidated City God Temple as a hiding place together, but he was unintentionally discovered by Shi Shouming. So the two made a plan, Li Shaoyou appeared to fight, lured Shi Shouming into the temple, and Huang Biyun, who was hiding behind the Buddha statue, suddenly attacked.
Shi Shouming only understood the other party's plan at this time, but it was too late, he tried his best to shrink his neck and dodge, but he was still slashed by a green blade, and blood suddenly burst out!
Huang Biyun is the successor of the "Rouyun Knife Dance", her weapons are two green and quiet curved blade soft knives, which are hidden in the wide sleeves and others can't see it, at this time, it is more sharp than Li Shaoyou's swordsmanship, and seven knives have been split in an instant, and Li Shaoyou is also defending for attack, shouting, and stabbing out five swords in a row.
In terms of martial arts, Shi Shouming is slightly better than Li Shaoyou and Huang Biyun, but at this time, he was suddenly attacked and injured in the neck, and it is impossible to fight two enemies again. He was flustered in his heart, his swordsmanship had already dispersed, and in an instant, he was hit by three swords and two swords in his body, and he turned around to escape, but before he could get out of the way, Li Shaoyou had already rushed forward, and a sword pierced into the back of his heart, and Huang Biyun also came to his side, but it was a knife that slashed at the back of his neck!
Shi Shouming let out a castration-like scream and fell forward, the leader of the "Sky Gang" was killed in this broken temple like this!
Killed Shi Shouming, Li Shaoyou and Huang Biyun immediately verticalized the eight strong men, these gangs were originally ordered by Shi Shouming to guard the temple gate, how could they have thought that the situation suddenly changed, they were killed before they could come forward to rescue Shi Shouming, and they turned around and ran away at the moment, but where could they escape the pursuit of masters like Li Shaoyou and Huang Biyun.
In a few breaths, all eight big men had fallen to the ground, and the blood had stained the stone steps in front of the broken temple.
