Chapter 57: Empty Escape
Zhu Zhenyan clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and the cold face that had not changed for thousands of years also flashed a touch of blood red. His nickname is "Leng Mian Zhuge ", he is a very scheming and very calm person, but at this time, for some reason, he was so angry by the three juniors at the top of the steps that he was so angry that he almost couldn't control his anger and jumped up!
But at this time, a person next to him walked to Zhu Zhenyan's side, but it was Shen Gongtu, the chief owner of the eighteen cottages in Cangshan at the Yunnan border.
He lowered his head and whispered in Zhu Zhenyan's ear: "Gong Zhu, please put out your anger for the time being, these juniors are just trapped in the pavilion and cornered, so they are talking nonsense, we just have to follow the plan, don't pay attention to them, and when you and I don't wait long, you and I will attack the 'Leng Xiang Pavilion', catch these people one by one, cut their noses and gouge out their eyes, and peel off their skin and bones!"
Listening to Shen Gongtu's words, Zhu Zhenyan's mood immediately calmed down. As one of the chief deacons of the "World Alliance", he is a top figure who has gone through many major battles, and once he realizes that his mentality is unbalanced, he can immediately adjust back.
Thanks to the reminder of the owner of Shen Zhai, Zhu is grateful. Zhu Zhenyan's tone was calm, and his mood had returned to normal.
These juniors are really not simple, and they almost made his "cold-faced Zhuge Zhu" Zhu Zhenyan almost lose his temper on the spot!
However, this can only be their trapped beast fight, Zhu Zhenyan thought so in his heart, the three major masters have been led away, and there are no characters on the "Cold Moon Pavilion" who can match the masters of the Black Wind Record, as long as they attack it, these people will not have any chance.
He decided to follow the plan step by step, and now that he was sure of victory, why bother with some dying people in words?
The eighty-one mechanisms on the 10,000-step stone steps were ambushed, and one by one they were broken through, and the price paid was that hundreds of civilians who were driven away fell in pieces.
The stone steps are littered with corpses and rivers of blood, like hell on earth!
When the Zuihou ambush was breached, there were less than a hundred civilians left among the thousands of people!
Zhu Zhenyan roared, soared into the air, crossed the group of civilians in front of him, and landed on the high platform at the top of the 10,000-step stone steps. This place was already empty, and Qu Huze and the others had already retreated into the meeting hall at the top of the "Cold Moon Pavilion".
Dozens of underworld masters jumped onto the high platform in unison. Their light skills are very good, and they have easily broken through the mechanism on the steps, and now these people are all murderous, and the fighting spirit is strong in their chests!
"Lord Shenzhai, Mrs. Zhongli, Brother Chihua Longxian, the three of you take twenty people to bypass this building and attack the courtyard behind the pavilion, remember, there is no room for survival in this battle!"
"Brother Wu, Brother Xin, go in with me, the others guard the exit, and no one is allowed to be let go!"
Zhu Zhenyan shouted loudly and gave the order to attack.
In the conference hall at the top of the pavilion, two figures stood on both sides of the marble round table in the middle of the room, one on the left and one on the right, it was Qu Huze and Shen Ying'er, while Hua Bushi and Yang Jiangyi had disappeared.
When Zhu Zhenyan led the "Yimeng Two Murderers" into the door, he was a little surprised. It stands to reason that this Cold Moon Main Building is also considered an important place, why are there only the two of them in the house, and there are no other disciples guarding it?
He approached step by step, three feet away from the round table.
"Just now, you juniors are going to challenge me?" Zhu Zhenyan showed a mocking look on his face, and said leisurely: "Where is that evil dog young master Hua Bushi now, could it be that he is hiding and not daring to see people?"
Qu Huze stared at Zhu Zhenyan, without the slightest fear on his face, and said slowly: "I, the 'Four Great Evils of Xiangxi', have been in Wuyang City for a long time, and I have no grudge against the 'World Alliance', why do you want to kill us all?"
Zhu Zhenyan said: "You ant-like gangs, I'm going to destroy the 'World Alliance', so why do I have to talk to you about anything." ”
"Even if you destroy my 'Three Great Evils' today and kill all of us, aren't you afraid that the masters of Wudang Emei will come to you to settle accounts in the future?"
Zhu Zhenyan smiled and said, "I know that you are trapped here, and you still have the hope of waiting for reinforcements from the two major gates." Since you are a dying person, I will tell you the truth, Zhu Mou came to take Wuyang City this time, and he had already passed the news with the heads of the two factions of Wudang Emei, although they wanted to stop it at first, but they accepted the tens of thousands of taels of silver I sent, and they all agreed to this matter. ”
"With Zhu's identity as the chief deacon of the 'World Alliance', how dare those two factions not sell some face. You're stuck here, I'm afraid that reinforcements won't come in another year and a half!"
Qu Huze snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I'll listen to such nonsense?"
Zhu Zhenyan said: "The matter has come to this, the 'three evils' are about to be destroyed, and all of you will not live for a moment or three, what's the use of me lying to you?"
There really was no need for him to tell lies.
That's what happened on the rivers and lakes. Although the "Iron Sword Sect" is a side branch of the "Wudang Sect", and Shen Ying'er is a disciple of the painstaking master of the Emei Sect, once it comes to the interests of the sect itself, even the famous and decent sect of the Central Plains Seven Great Sects will compromise. As long as Zhu Zhenyan can pay a sufficient price, it is not unacceptable to lose a descendant sect or a personal disciple to be killed.
Qu Huze was silent, his face was very ugly. The "Iron Sword Sect" has always advocated sticking to and waiting for reinforcements, but at this time, when he heard the news that reinforcements were impossible to arrive, he certainly wouldn't feel good.
Shen Ying'er suddenly smiled and said, "Zhu Zhenyan, you have spent so much scheming and silver, if you can't take this Wuyang City in the end, but you don't know how to feel?"
She and Qu Huze suddenly launched at the same time, obviously having made an agreement before this. The figures of the two people jumped up, but they did not attack Zhu Zhenyan, but jumped to the windows on both sides of the hall left and right.
Want to escape?!
These two juniors fled directly without fighting, which was a bit unexpected by Zhu Zhenyan. And he didn't expect these two to come out of the window. This chamber is located at the top of the "Cold Moon Pavilion", which is the highest point of this building, and is built on three sides suspended in the air, and under the window sill is a vertical stone wall. Jumping out of the window is equivalent to jumping directly off the hundred-zhang high platform, even if it is the world's first master of light skills, falling straight down from a hundred zhang high, there is only one way to die!
The front and back doors of this pavilion are guarded by many underworld masters, and there is only one way out of the window, but it is only a dead end.
Zhu Zhenyan reacted very quickly, and shouted, "Stop them!" As soon as his arm was raised, the cold light flashed, and a white silk flew out, with a small triangular shield with sharp edges, but it was his unique weapon "Sword and Shield Silk Suo"!
His target is Shen Ying'er. First, because Shen Ying'er's martial arts are weaker, and secondly, she is on the right side of Zhu Zhenyan, which is more convenient to attack.
In a blink of an eye, the silk shield was behind Shen Ying'er, but Shen Ying'er didn't look back, only put the Yaoqin in his hand behind his back, and the triangular shield smashed on the Yaoqin!
Although this "sword and shield silk rope" is a soft weapon, this blow still weighs more than a thousand catties. Zhu Zhenyan's internal strength is extremely deep, three points stronger than the "Iron Sword Man" Ram Tai, at this time, he concentrates his true qi on the sword and shield, and strikes it with all his strength, even if it is an inch thick iron plate, I am afraid that it will be penetrated, not to mention the Yaoqin made of yellow wood in Shen Ying'er's hand?
I only heard a clear sound of "Zheng", but the sword and shield did not hit the body of the qin, but hit the strings, and the Yaoqin suddenly deviated to one side, and the strings were buckled on the stainless steel sword and shield, and were pulled into a curve by the huge force!
I don't know what the strings are made of, but they are unusually tough and elastic, and when they hold the sword and shield, they are pulled apart like the strings of a longbow, but they also very skillfully remove the force of the sword and shield from the direct attack.
If Shen Ying'er was standing on the ground, she would inevitably lose her footing and fall due to the impact of such a huge force, but at this time, she was jumping in the air, and the reaction force from the strings caused her to catapult out like an arrow, and she flew out of the window in an instant!
At the same time, Qu Huze had also jumped out of the window on the other side. Although Wu Tianci, Xin Liuji and others wanted to intercept it, they were too far away to stop it at all.
Zhu Zhenyan showed his body technique, stepped in front of the window in one step, and looked at Xiangxia. But I saw Shen Ying'er fall straight down from the cold moon platform, falling more than 20 zhang, but suddenly stretched out her arms and popped out a pair of wings from her back!
They weren't actual wings, of course, but a very fine steel skeleton covered with cloth, more than three feet wide, and shaped like a pair of giant butterfly wings. This thing must have been folded up before, hidden in the clothes behind Shen Ying'er's back, but once it was unfolded at this time, Shen Ying'er suddenly no longer fell straight down, but spread its wings and glided like a bird, and in an instant, it had rushed hundreds of feet away!
Zhu Zhenyan is well-informed and recognizes the origin of Shen Ying'er's wings, which originates from the overseas Dongying Island country, a secret method inheritance called "ninjutsu". This method of gliding, known as "empty escape" in "ninjutsu", is a method of escape used by assassins in that overseas country in legends.
Without looking, Zhu Zhenyan also guessed that Qu Huze, who jumped out of the window on the other side, must have used the same escape technique as Shen Ying'er to escape. These two juniors slipped away from their eyes so easily, and a bad omen suddenly rose in Zhu Zhenyan's heart.
They fled too calmly!
Since Zhu Zhenyan and others entered the cabinet, these two juniors have not shown the slightest hint of panic. Even if they had prepared a way to escape in advance, why did they have to wait for Zhu Zhenyan to break into the hall before escaping, and they had a tacit understanding when they escaped.
He even felt that Shen Ying'er's move to block the sword and shield with Yaoqin was also planned in advance. The other party had already calculated that he would intercept Shen Ying'er, who was closer, so he had prepared a countermeasure early in the morning!
Could it be ......
But at this time, there was a shout from outside the door of Shen Gongtu, the head of the eighteen cottages in Cangshan:
"Gong Zhu, the courtyards behind the pavilion are all empty, and there is no one!"
"His grandmother's, those turtle grandsons don't know where they ran to!" was the voice of the boss of the Chi family in Qianjing.
Zhu Zhenyan's face changed drastically, and he roared:
"Oh no!
But he himself knew that if he wanted to withdraw at this time, it would definitely be too late!
