The group of people walked for about two or three more miles, and the official road ahead turned into a pine forest. The road was narrow and densely forested, with shrubs half as tall as a man and bare locust trees on both sides.
The man slowed down his pace, looked around, and muttered, "This place is very crowded. If it's summer and the leaves are covered, you have to walk with a lantern during the day."
"Brother, do you often walk this way?"
Jiang Fa asked.
"No way, this is the first time."
The man rubbed his hands and lifted the blue cloth bag on his back. "If it weren't for this brother accompanying me, my sister and I would be really scared when I walked through the woods."
Jiang Fa smiled, "Brother, please be more careful, the road is not smooth these days."
The man nodded quickly and leaned closer to his sister.
Jiang Fa's eyes never left the sides of the road.
He asked about the house price of Qingshan County, then about the masters of the martial arts school, and then about how many taels of silver a man could save a year by working as a helper in the countryside. The topics jumped around like a chatterbox who had been bored for a long time.
Men also take the trouble to answer all questions, and if they can't answer, they just make fun of them.
As they chatted like this, the three of them walked deep into the woods.
The snow in the woods melted more slowly, and a thin layer of ice formed on the road, making it creak when you step on it.
The sun shone slantly through the branches, casting three long shadows on the ground.
Jiang Fa suddenly asked, "Brother, is your sister getting married?"
The man was startled, then smiled heartily and said, "We are not married yet. What, could it be that my little brother has fallen in love with my sister?"
"Brother!"
The woman stomped her feet in embarrassment and her face turned red to her ears.
"I just asked casually, brother, don't get me wrong." Jiang Fa smiled and changed the topic, "I just think your girl looks like the same person."
The man became interested. "Who does he look like?"
"Like..."
Jiang Fa frowned and looked like he was thinking hard, as if he was lost in memories.
The man subconsciously moved closer, trying to hear what he was saying.
The moment he came closer, Jiang Fa's foot slipped and he staggered half a step to the side, as if he suddenly lost his balance.
The man instinctively reached out to help.
But the moment he lowered his head, a silent fist struck his chest with great force without any warning!
This punch was too fast and too sudden!
The man's pupils shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly wanted to cross his arms to block, but it was already too late.
"Bang!"
The fist hit the body, making a loud thunder-like sound.
next moment
The man felt as if his chest had been hit by a heavy hammer. He flew backwards three to four feet and hit a dead tree as thick as a bowl.
The tree trunk was broken with a loud bang, and debris flew everywhere.
He fell down in the snow, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his face instantly turned pale.
"Brother!"
The woman screamed and looked at Jiang Fa's face full of panic and grief, "What are you doing! Why did you hit my brother!"
Jiang Fa glanced at her, his brows suddenly furrowed, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged into his heart.
An extremely cold murderous intent suddenly erupted from the snowdrift behind him!
The murderous intention came without any warning, as if it appeared out of thin air.
A long sword as thin as a willow leaf shot out from the snowdrift three feet behind him. The tip of the sword was pointed directly at the back of his heart. The speed was unbelievable.
This sword had been prepared for a long time, and the timing was just right. It was the moment Jiang Fa focused on the woman, and it was as precise as a poisonous Snake Devour bite.
Jiang Fa There was no time to turn around.
At the critical moment of life and death, Seven-Colored Glazed Glass Art is running wildly in the body, and the skin and flesh on the back are as tight as iron in an instant, with a faint glazed luster.
"Pfft!"
The tip of the sword penetrated the flesh an inch, and it was like piercing a layer of tough old cowhide. It was stuck tightly by his perverted and tyrannical body, making it difficult to penetrate even an inch further.
Jiang Fa groaned, feeling a sharp pain in the back of his heart.
Only half an inch away is the heart!
Taking advantage of this momentum, he swooped forward, twisted his body forcefully in mid-air, and smashed his left elbow back like a hammer.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled groan from behind, and a thin black figure was knocked backwards by the elbow, rolling several times in the snow, revealing an extremely cold face.
It was a thin man, dressed in gray and white clothes that almost blended into the snow. The thin sword in his hand was trembling slightly, and there were a few strands of blood on the sword.
He looked horrified and in disbelief,
The blow that was bound to pierce his chest with his sword actually only caused some minor injuries to the man in front of him. This man's body was as if it were made of copper poured into iron, and it was incredibly tough.
Then he looked at the man who was seriously injured by Jiang Fa's punch, and said with a gloomy face, "There is something wrong with this kid. It seems that what he said is right. There is definitely a secret about this man."
Jiang Fa's eyes suddenly turned cold.
The sword in the back of the heart was still oozing blood, but the terrifying recovery power of the body had already tightened the muscles at the wound, and most of the blood had stopped in a few breaths.
"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"
The man stood up from the snow, clutching his chest, with a few strands of blood hanging from the corners of his mouth.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the honest smile disappeared from his face, leaving only a sinister look.
His chest heaved violently, and it was obvious that the punch had caused him serious internal injuries, but the murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised.
"I'm curious, when did you find out?"
His voice was hoarse, and he was like two different people talking with him before.
Jiang Fa did not answer.
His right hand has grasped the handle of the ghost head knife behind his back,
Seeing this, the three people slowly moved their steps and formed a horn-like posture, surrounding Jiang Fa in the center.
The thin man in the snow also climbed up. His face was as pale as paper, but there was a sinister smile on his lips, "Don't talk nonsense to him. No matter how he found out, there is something weird in this kid. Let's get together and fight him quickly!"
Before he finished speaking, he kicked off his feet in the snow and slid along the ground. The thin sword was like a poisonous snake spitting out a message, piercing Jiang Fa's lower body.
And the woman who originally seemed soft and frail also lost her disguise.
She pulled out a pair of short blades from under the bamboo basket, tapped her toes, and moved her body to Jiang Fa's side like a swallow skimming water. She crossed the two blades and struck directly at his vitals under the armpits.
The three people's tacit understanding of cooperation and ruthless attacks seemed to have been practiced countless times.
Jiang Fa did not draw the knife.
He made a mistake with his foot Wind-Chasing Steps, and moved half a foot sideways like a ghost, barely avoiding the woman's pair of short blades. At the same time, he struck the thin man's rapier with his right fist.
Bang!
The fist hit the sword, making a crisp sound like gold and iron. The thin man's mouth went numb, and the rapier almost fell out of his hand.
He was horrified, and finally understood why Lang Si was punched away just now.
The physical strength of the young man in front of him was simply abnormal.
On the other side, the seriously injured man pulled out a short knife from nowhere.
He suppressed the injury and struck hard with the knife. This knife contained all the strength of his body, and the blade made a sharp scream when it cut through the air.
