After noon, it gradually slanted westward, and the warm light shone on Chiyue Lake, and the breeze blew past, like pieces of golden scales appeared.

The carriage passed by the lake and headed towards the densely packed mountains ahead, guarded by two rows of guards on horseback. There were about 20 of them, and their clothes were all embroidered with the Mingsha Sect pattern.

There was silence all around, only the sound of horseshoes passing by, but at this time the side curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside.

A guard beside the car immediately leaned over to listen to the order, only to hear the person in the car say lightly: "Be careful."

"Yes." The guard responded, and everyone around him immediately put on alert, a cold and murderous aura permeated the air.

Almost at the same time, several silver needles shot towards the leading guard.

Although the man was aware of it, he still didn't have time to draw his sword to block it, he leaned back to avoid it, and fell off the horse, the sword edge was unsheathed and lay in front of him.

The people behind also stopped, drew out their weapons and held them in their hands.

Yuan Qingfeng and others who were waiting here in advance did not hide their bodies any more, and appeared to confront them one after another, and the atmosphere became tense all of a sudden.

Xie Miao lifted the curtain of the car, walked out with his hands behind his back, and stood on the carriage, with his long eyebrows slightly raised, and the corners of his lips curled up, looking at them.

Holding the long sword, Yuan Qingfeng also looked at the long standing man in black from a distance of about ten steps.

For the first time in these many years, the enmity and entanglement were so clearly presented in front of his eyes, for a moment he didn't realize how deep the hatred was, on the contrary, his heart was very complicated.

Xie Miao finally fixed his eyes on him, and said: "It's a long journey, and I'm going to find the head of Yuan. I didn't expect that Your Excellency would be so eager to send it to the door, saving me a lot of effort."

Yuan Qingfeng said in a deep voice: "If I don't come, don't I have to wait for you to go to the Yinshan School to stir up blood and blood."

Xie Mu smiled and nodded: "It makes sense, then, stop talking nonsense."

He made a gesture calmly, and the dead soldiers beside him who were dressed as bodyguards went up together with their blades, attacking Yuan Qingfeng and others.

Yuan Qingfeng tapped his toes, he didn't care about the dead men, he came up to Xie Miao in a few moments, stabbed him first with his sword, and the two began to fight in the narrow place in front of the carriage.

Xie Man's martial arts are extremely high, and his moves are fierce and fierce. However, Yuan Qingfeng's internal strength is profound and his foundation is extremely solid, so naturally he will not be at a disadvantage.

The Mingsha sect dead warriors were already fighting with the elite disciples of Jianwenmen and Yinshan sect. Both sides were fighting for their lives, and the fight was very fierce.

After a fight, Liu Zhongyi stabbed a dagger into the throat of a dead man, ignoring a bloodstain on his arm where the man had tried his best to draw when he died, and went straight to the carriage.

He had an intuition that Liu Zhongqing was on the carriage, but he didn't know what the situation was. According to time, the medicine that suppressed martial arts on Liu Zhongqing's body would soon lose its effect, but he never saw him, and he always felt uneasy.

But before Liu Zhongyi could reach the front of the carriage, a figure chased up from behind, turned over quickly and stopped in front of him, stabbing him with a sword.

When Liu Zhongyi heard the sound of the wind, he was already prepared, raised his dagger to barely block the extremely sharp sword, and when he looked up, it was Qi Su.

Just now Xie Miao didn't see that person by his side, but with Qi Su's temperament, knowing that he was not caught but returned to Luoyun City, he would no longer wait in Wangran Mountain according to the original plan. When he arrived at this time, Liu Zhongyi didn't care Surprised.

The sound of fighting behind him became more intense, Liu Zhongyi frowned, looked back, and saw that the people brought by Qi Su had also joined the battle group, and the situation had already tilted.

He looked back at the man and silently clenched the dagger. Although there was no chance of winning, he had to try, otherwise...

Qi Su seemed to know what he meant, but he didn't make a move. Instead, he withdrew his sword and said, "I don't want to kill you."

Liu Zhongyi didn't move, and didn't answer, as if he didn't listen to what he said, but was just waiting for the opportunity.

Qi Su shook his head slightly, and threw a piece of torn white cloth at his feet, "If you still refuse to stop, don't regret it."

Liu Zhongyi was startled, and glanced at him, seeing that he really didn't intend to do anything, so he possessed himself and picked up the piece of clothing.

It is clean white, and the simple cotton thread embroidery pattern on it is also the same color. Although he recognized it at a glance just now, he still didn't want to believe it. Now he held the fabric in his hand, his heart sank, and the corners of his lips were tightly pursed. However, this fact cannot be denied.

Qi Su looked at him and said: "If you don't believe me, I can order someone to bring him here."

Liu Zhongyi held the cloth tightly, and after a while, finally said: "I want to see him."

"Follow me." After Qi Su said, he turned and crossed the battle group.

Liu Zhongyi glanced at the carriage, then looked at Xie Man and Yuan Qingfeng who couldn't tell the winner for a moment, bit his lower lip hard, and finally chased after Qi Su.

Qi Su didn't go far, but just reached the other end of the battle group. As soon as Liu Zhongyi followed, he saw that person——

Under Qi Su's order, he was carried out from the dense forest by two men in black. The wound probably opened again, and the white clothes were stained with a lot of blood.Even so, the expression on the man's face was still light, although his complexion was very pale, he still looked calm and indifferent.

When meeting his gaze, Wen Yan's eyes lit up slightly, as if with a very shallow smile.

However, Liu Zhongyi just looked at him for a moment, and really couldn't think of any reason why this person could still laugh at this time, and it was no different from usual. He was holding the cloth with cold palms, and even because of holding Too much force and felt pain.

Wen Yan took a deep look at him, but turned to Qi Su and said, "I don't know how Zuo Hufa wants to use me to blackmail Zhong Yi?"

Qi Su took a look at Liu Zhongyi, and said, "Catch him without a fight."

Liu Zhongyi held the dagger before answering, but Wen Yan laughed first, although his voice was still gentle and indifferent, but with the sword in the sheath, Guanghua restrained and silently oppressed: "But I don't know, where do you have the right to blackmail him?" ?”

Qi Su frowned, faintly feeling that this was wrong, but without waiting for him to think about it, Wen Yan continued: "In my opinion, the time is almost up."

He rolled his eyes, smiled and called softly: "Zhong Yi."

Liu Zhongyi shot out suddenly, knocking the person on the left who was holding him into the air with one palm, and holding the dagger in the other hand, stabbing fiercely into the heart of the person on the right.

The strange thing is that these two people didn't respond at all!

Qi Su's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to raise his hand and draw his sword to stab the two of them, but he felt that his hands and feet were weak, as if his strength had been drained in an instant, and it was very difficult to move a single finger. He turned his head and looked at the battle group , but saw that the original advantage disappeared immediately, and the few people he brought were also in the same situation, only to be slaughtered.

Liu Zhongyi quickly inspected Wen Yan's injuries, untied the acupuncture points on his body, and carefully supported him with his lips pursed.

Wen Yan's wound was torn and bleeding, it wasn't really serious, but the wound on the back of his knee was really painful, so he leaned on the man and shifted part of his weight to him, feeling that he accepted it very gently but cooperatively, The corners of his lips curled slightly involuntarily.

At this time, Qi Su had no strength at all, but he was not in a hurry, he calmed down, thought for a while, and asked: "I don't know when Zhuang Zhu poisoned him, but I didn't notice it."

Wen Yan looked at him, suppressed the gentle smile he had just shown Liu Zhongyi, and said, "Naturally, I went down from the beginning, otherwise, how do you think you found me?"

Qi Su was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Did you let us find it on purpose?"

"That's right," Wen Yan's expression didn't change, still indifferent, "I've thought about it, but I'm still worried, it's just that I'm injured and can't move, so I can't come alone." He turned his eyes slightly, looking Glancing at Liu Zhongyi, he continued: "So I left the grotto and left some clues outside, and then went back to spread the medicine. As soon as you enter the grotto, you will be poisoned, but the poison is colorless, tasteless, and chronic. Of course you didn't notice."

"...So that's the case." Qi Su let out a long sigh, and said, "I was careless."

Wen Yan smiled, and said lightly: "The mantis is catching the cicada, and the oriole is behind. You are indeed careless. You only think of yourself as a 'predator'. Naturally, you would not expect that the 'prey' will set you a trap."

Qi Su said: "Since we are defeated, there is no need to say more." After saying that, he closed his eyes and bowed his neck to be slaughtered.

Liu Zhongyi raised his hand and pressed the dagger to his throat, but he didn't do anything. He frowned. After a while, he turned his wrist and tapped a few big acupuncture points on him with force from the handle of the dagger, saying: "You didn't kill me back then, I'm not the same today. kill you."

——It’s just that from now on, grievances and grievances will be broken, and life and death will no longer matter.

Qi Su understood the meaning of his words, but he didn't open his eyes to look at him again, and he didn't speak again.

Liu Zhongyi withdrew the dagger, helped Wen Yan aside, looked up at him, and said, "Master, don't take such a risk next time."

Wen Yan slightly bent the corners of his lips: "Since you do this, you are naturally sure."

Liu Zhongyi frowned and said, "Then why didn't you discuss it with me?"

"I also came up with it on the spur of the moment. After all... I'm very worried." Wen Yan raised his hand to smooth his eyebrows, and said, "Besides, even if you didn't say it beforehand, didn't you respond well?"

Liu Zhongyi bit her lower lip, feeling a little awkward: "That's different."

Wen Yan responded, and said with a low smile: "Well, I was wrong, but now is not the time to talk about this, it's time to deal with it, and I will let you punish me?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhongyi turned her cheeks and looked at the carriage.

Wen Yan couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips—as expected, this person always puts business at the forefront, and once this is mentioned, the rest will be put aside.He calculated the time and said: "Zhong Qing's martial arts should be restored soon."

Liu Zhongyi looked at the blood on his body, and said hesitantly: "I'll go and have a look, owner..."

Wen Yan noticed the way he looked at his wound, and said, "Don't worry, although I can't help, I don't need to take care of it."

Liu Zhongyi nodded, and several of them got up and went straight to the carriage, and shot out the silver needle between their fingers, helping a disciple who was trapped in the battle group by the way.

But before he got close, he saw a blue shadow flashing from behind the carriage, jumped onto the roof first, pulled out a soft whip from his arms, and rolled it towards Yuan Qingfeng——

It was Fei Cui!

At that time, because she was a woman, Yuan Qingfeng and others didn't want to kill her, they just locked the acupoints with a rope and left them in the inn, but unexpectedly she was able to escape and come here.

Liu Zhongyi's pace was a little faster, and the three silver needles were the first to hit her, trying to stop her movement.

However, Fei Cui didn't dodge or dodge, allowing the silver needle to penetrate deeply into his shoulder, and the whip tip curled towards Yuan Qingfeng's right wrist.

Yuan Qingfeng and Xie Muyuan were on par with each other for a while, and they were inseparable, so they were caught off guard by her meddling, so they had to take advantage of the situation to wrap Ren's whip around his wrist, then grasp the whip body and pull it hard.

Fei Cui's martial arts were not as good as his, so she was pulled close to him abruptly, and was sandwiched between him and Xie Miao, Xie Miao couldn't hold back, and hit her on the chest with his palm, although he held back seven points of his strength, but Even Fei Cui's internal strength was hard to resist, immediately blood flowed from the corners of her lips, like plum blossoms falling on the blue clothes.

"Fei Cui...!" Rao Xie was shocked, his eyes widened slightly, and he exclaimed.

The woman in green was smiling, and she turned around quickly while holding the handle of the whip, her red lips parted slightly, and she exhaled a puff of white smoke.

"Senior, be careful!" Liu Zhongyi had already moved closer, and raised his voice to remind, at the same time, stabbing the woman's back with the dagger.

Xie Mu stopped Liu Zhongyi with a sword, his sword energy surged, intending to force him back.

Yuan Qingfeng held his breath, clenched his fist with the whip-wrapped hand, and hit the woman's chest and abdomen.

Fei Cui spat out a mouthful of blood, lowered her head slightly, her long hair covered her expression, she took a deep breath, gathered the last bit of strength, and pressed the iron mechanism at the end of the whip.

Suddenly, the whole whip exploded, causing a puff of smoke and dust. She and Yuan Qingfeng were very close, each holding one end of the whip, and they couldn't escape, the leather on the outside and the iron fragments inside They entered the bodies of the two of them one after another.

"Senior!" Liu Zhongyi didn't expect that Fei Cui would have a second move, and he was so fierce that he didn't even leave any room for it.

After the exploding smoke and dust cleared, the woman in green had already fallen to the ground, her blood staining a large cloud of sand and dust.Yuan Qingfeng was still standing on his own, but there were countless small wounds on his body, and the blood that flowed out was abnormally black and blue, obviously poisoned.

Liu Zhongyi blocked Xie Miao with one move, and ran to Yuan Qingfeng to check his injuries, Xie Miao didn't chase for a while, but leaned over to look at the woman in green.

Fei Cui opened her eyes slightly, moved her fingers, grabbed his clothes that were hanging on the ground, opened her mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

The blood color meanders, like a huge flower silently blooming on the ground.

Xie Miao lowered his eyes to look at her, sighed, and said, "Why bother?"

Fei Cui couldn't speak, just looked at him, smiled faintly, the light in her eyes brightened for a moment, then quickly dimmed, her fingers loosened, and gradually became cold.

Xie Mu closed her eyes, and raised her hands to close her eyes.

A gust of wind blew up, blowing the dust under the horse's hooves, Xie Miao stood up holding the sword, and looked up at Yuan Qingfeng, but saw that the man seemed to have been cut to the vitals by the fragments of the explosion, and bled a lot, barely standing up. , and because of the poisoning, his whole body was frozen and unable to move.

There were too many wounds on Yuan Qingfeng's body, Liu Zhongyi didn't dare to touch it lightly, so he could only support his arm, but looked away with anxiety.

Xie Miao knew who he was looking for without having to guess, he looked back and saw a few dead soldiers of the Mingsha Sect surrounding Wen Yan, although he couldn't succeed, he guessed that it would be difficult for that person to get away.He didn't intend to miss the opportunity, he condensed his true energy on the sword, and with a sword cry, pointed at Yuan Qingfeng.

Liu Zhongyi immediately sensed his killing intent, and fought against Yuan Qingfeng while protecting him.

His martial arts were not as good as Xie Miao's, and his internal injuries have not yet healed, so now he has to protect Yuan Qingfeng, so it is naturally a bit difficult.

Xie Man had no intention of fighting with him, he only wanted to take Yuan Qingfeng's life, and with a false move, the blade of the sword pressed towards Liu Zhongyi's throat. With a turn, he moved behind Yuan Qingfeng in an instant, and the blade slashed towards the lower back.

Liu Zhongyi knew that he had caught the trick, and quickly turned to face him, the dagger was not as fast as his sword, so he had to reach out with his left hand, and firmly grasped the edge of the sword!

The blood immediately stained the sword body red, and it fell to the ground along the edge of the sword.

Xie Miao raised her long eyebrows slightly, and looked up at the young man with a condensed expression. The man's frowning eyes were stern, similar to Liu Zhongqing, but only a little bit.

Xie Man flipped the sword and forced him to let go, Liu Zhongyi's face turned pale, but he insisted on not letting go, and stabbed him in the chest with the dagger in the other hand.

Xie Miao sideways avoided, and raised his hand to grab his wrist, but Liu Zhongyi flipped a dagger out of the cold light, and almost cut a few bloody holes on his arm.

Xie Mian frowned, let go of the long sword, and hit him in the ribs with his palm.

Liu Zhongyi also let go, clenched his fist to protect the wound in his palm, pressed against his palm, and took the palm.

Unexpectedly, Xie Min folded his five fingers together, squeezed his fist vigorously, kicked up the long sword that fell to the ground, caught it with his left hand, crossed his arms, and stabbed Yuan Qingfeng behind him with his sword.

Caught off guard, Liu Zhongyi stabbed him in the lower abdomen with a dagger, trying to force him to withdraw his sword, but Xie Miao stepped down and let go of his fist at the same time, turned over and landed in front of Yuan Qingfeng, the long sword pierced into the man's heart at the same time !

Liu Zhongyi turned around, only to see the sword point passing through his body, and the pattering blood quickly stained the ground under his feet.

The tense string in his heart broke instantly, he opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

And Xie Miao didn't move for a while, just looked at the blood-stained person in front of him, and felt a heavy exhaustion in his heart——

His revenge, this is the end of revenge.

eye for eye.

Xie Miao glanced at the young man behind Yuan Qingfeng who seemed to have lost his usual composure, slowly drew out his long sword, and quietly watched the person in front of him lose his support and fell down.

Liu Zhongyi seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, and hurried forward to catch the fallen body, his hands were immediately stained with blood, and the strong smell of blood rushed to his face, almost making people dizzy.

Xie Miao didn't attack him, but just stood there quietly, letting the blood on the sword gradually condense into blood drops, which fell on the ground with a very slight sound.

There is no end to retribution for injustice.

Now, it's his turn to bear the spearhead of those hatreds.
