"Thump thump~ thump..."
"The weather is dry, be careful with fire..."
The old street was deserted, with only the faint sound of a wooden clapper echoing from the distant alleyways.
Ye Xingge leaned against the street corner, quietly peeking into the unlit street and observing the middle-aged man walking slowly along the street. He frowned and said:
"There's no one around, and it's pitch black. What's he doing here?"
Hongyu also leaned against the side to observe:
"Something's definitely up to no good. They might be having a secret meeting. Let's follow them and see. This place isn't safe; we don't want to stumble into a den of thieves."
Having learned his lesson from his previous intrusion into the Return to Origin Cult's meeting room, Ye Xingge remained vigilant. Once the figures had disappeared into the distance, he quietly turned the corner and, using the storage sheds as cover, continued his pursuit.
But the other party seemed to have noticed something, suddenly stopped, glanced back, and then leaped up, fleeing towards Pu'an Temple.
Whew~
Ye Xingge didn't reveal any clues, but upon seeing this, he sensed something was wrong. He immediately leaped out from under the eaves, grabbing the Wind-Traveling Talisman in his sleeve halfway.
Bang!
The principle Wind-Traveling Talisman is similar to that of the Ravine-Leaping Tiger, only the effects are different.
The moment Ye Xingge, he felt an electric current surge through his entire body. His heart suddenly raced like a high-pressure water pump, his leg muscles became noticeably excited, and his energy channels seemed to have given his lower body a green light.
His body suddenly accelerated, his legs crossing almost leaving a blur, and with just a light touch of his toes, he jumped twice the height he usually did, easily leaping onto the roof.
Hongyu body had not yet recovered, saw Ye Xingge shooting out like a rocket, his speed too fast to keep up with, and immediately reminded him:
"Don't be rash; be careful not to lure the enemy deep into your territory."
Ye Xingge naturally knew all this. At this moment, he was chasing after the target with lightning speed, while also scanning the surrounding movements. At the same time, he unexpectedly discovered that the " Wind-Traveling Talisman " had a rather special effect.
It achieves a surge in speed by regulating the body's energy channels and concentrating all the body's strength in the lower body.
In this situation, the power of leg techniques will increase, but punches and slashes will be like muscle weakness, resulting in a severe imbalance between the upper and lower body, making it more disadvantageous than advantageous in head-on combat.
But if it's not used for fighting, but for driving piles...
The Blissful Illusory Body doubles the speed, transforming into a deadly rhythm, ton ton ton ton ton...
Ye Xingge's gaze sharpened slightly as he suddenly realized that he had misjudged the situation last time; the Wind-Traveling Talisman should have been "completely overpowered"!
However, he didn't have time to study the hundred ways to use the Wind-Traveling Talisman at the moment; he simply locked onto his target and pursued it at full speed.
He Lin, who was ahead, was indeed exceptionally skilled. His figure was like an arrow speeding along the rooftop. Although he was not as fast as He Lin, he was quite stable, making it look as if he was flying close to the rooftop.
whoosh--
Ye Xingge gave chase at full speed, and in the blink of an eye, he had covered half a mile and arrived at a dilapidated ancient temple, where the distance between them quickly closed.
He Lin leaped over the bell tower and landed in the square in front of the Hall of Heavenly Kings. He then rushed towards the drum tower opposite and jumped into the block behind the wall.
call--
Ye Xingge then leaped onto the bell tower, but just as he landed heavily on the eaves and jumped off, he suddenly heard a sound:
Boom--
The windows of the clock tower behind it bulged and shattered!
A nine-foot-long spear, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, sprang out from the house. The one-and-a-half-foot-long spearhead gleamed coldly in the moonlight, and behind it stood a gunslinger clad in a cloak and mask!
The spearhead, imbued with boundless killing intent and rage, even created a vortex from the flying wood chips, heading straight for his vest.
?
Ye Xingge had taken precautions along the way, but he really hadn't expected the ambush to be so powerful.
Sensing something was wrong, he hurled his sword backward with his left hand, the sheathed blade transforming into a projectile that shot towards the source of the sound, while simultaneously swinging his right hand backward as well.
Although it's difficult to generate full power without feet touching the ground, using the torso as a fulcrum, the power originates from the spine, rolls through the shoulders and swings the arms, and both hands simultaneously pull back, resulting in considerable force; the sleeves even produce a loud popping sound in mid-air.
Snap
Behind him, Duan Lianshan burst out of the window with all his might, thrusting his nine-foot spear at the figure in the bamboo hat who was leaping into the air. He thought he could kill him with one blow, and even began to consider how to grab the items and escape after the attack.
But he really didn't expect that in his panic, this kid would actually throw away the divine weapon and use it as a hidden weapon!
Seeing the swift and powerful attack of the Fate-Robbing Saber aimed directly at his chest and abdomen, Duan Lianshan could only grit his teeth and spin around, continuing to thrust his spear at the boy while his left hand grabbed at the divine weapon that was shooting towards him.
But the next instant, his eyes turned chilling!
Sa--
A flash of dark golden light appeared under the moonlight!
As Ye Xingge swung his arm backward with a powerful flick of his shoulder, the yellow strip on his right hand transformed into a dark gold whip in mid-air.
The two-zhang-long soft whip swept across the old temple under the moonlight, its metallic sheen under the moonlight resembling a crescent-shaped scimitar lashed out behind him!
The throwing knife and the whip were applied simultaneously, naturally striking at the same time.
Duan Lianshan spun around and thrust his spear, completely unprepared for his opponent to suddenly unleash a whip. Before he could react, the whip had already lashed his back.
Snap--
With a loud bang, Duan Lianshan's cloak burst open, revealing the earthen-yellow armor beneath.
His body was also swayed to the left by the impact of the energy, so that the Fate-Robbing Saber struck him squarely in the chest. The force was so great that it even shattered the scabbard instantly, revealing the dark red blade inside, before bouncing to the side.
As Ye Xingge made his move, he threw a sphere forward. As it landed, he flicked his right hand, and his dark gold whip caught the flying Fate-Robbing Saber in mid-air and pulled it back into his hand.
at the same time.
To avoid Ye Xingge's suspicion, He Lin pressed on relentlessly, already passing the Drum Tower on the west side.
Hearing the sounds of fighting, He Lin immediately stopped outside the wall and turned back, intending to climb back into the temple to help. However, before he could even show his face, he heard a voice:
call out--
Bang!
The smoke bombs struck the walls of the Drum Tower, exploding into a dark cloud that enveloped an area of several meters in radius!
He Lin took the hit in the face, and immediately shrank back behind the wall. Thick smoke rolled in, and he quickly retreated. He wanted to listen to the sounds inside, but found that the temple was suddenly deathly silent.
Outside the temple, however, came a series of hurried footsteps:
Tap tap...
The footsteps were light, but they came directly in his direction.
?
There are also experts...
He Lin was unaware of the situation inside the temple, but the person outside was definitely not a teammate. Sensing danger, he immediately turned and fled.
He hadn't run more than a few steps when he heard Duan Lianshan's chilling voice coming from inside the temple:
"Break..."
Whoosh--
when--
The sound of arrows piercing the air and metal clashing together!
Break...
Covering the rear?!
You wish...
He Lin noticed that Duan Lianshan inside was panicked, as if he had seen a ghost. The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer. Knowing that he had been ambushed, he fled without hesitation...
Inside the temple.
Ye Xingge threw out a smoke bomb to distract his accomplices from seeing the whip. By the time it landed, he had already retrieved the Filth-Severing Whip and was now facing the bell tower, holding the Fate-Robbing Saber in his hand.
Duan Lianshan, having been lashed by the whip, steadied himself and stopped before the bell tower, gun in his right hand. He didn't attack immediately, but instead stared at the straw-hatted swordsman in front of him with a look of astonishment and confusion.
"What was that just now?!"
The words were a question, but Duan Lianshan actually guessed the answer; he just couldn't believe it.
After all, there is no other soft whip in the world that can appear out of thin air and display a dark golden edge!
Last time Ye Xingge said he had the Filth-Severing Whip, he didn't believe it because under normal circumstances, it's impossible for someone to be so eager for quick success that they would forgo ten years and choose to advance to the next level in half First Rank year, even risking their life to infiltrate the enemy camp.
But if the other party really does have it, then this situation is definitely not normal.
First of all, bringing these two things together inevitably involves Cloud and Rain Tower, Wu Chenglie, Later Zhou, Great Yan, and even the overall situation of the world.
The fact that ordinary people cannot understand the intention can only mean that the game behind it is too big, rather than that these First Rank devils of Cloud and Rain Tower are being foolish.
Secondly, even if this kid was purely lucky and managed to obtain two divine weapons by chance, Filth-Severing Whip to force himself to escape, what would he use to kill?
If this item is pulled out, the other party will surely be silenced.
Realizing the situation was dire, Duan Lianshan immediately tried to call out:
"Break..."
call out--
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Xingge had already launched a flying nail, aiming straight for his opponent's throat.
Duan Lianshan immediately raised his gun to parry, and then:
Bang!
The smoke bomb exploded between the two, and thick smoke instantly obscured several meters in front of the clock tower. Ye Xingge's figure then disappeared without a trace.
?!
Duan Lianshan's expression changed drastically. He immediately suppressed all sounds, slowly retreated with his gun in hand, and carefully listened to all the movements around him.
After all, the " Ravine-Leaping Tiger " can kill in three steps. If you lose sight of it in the smoke, what comes out is a demon in the smoke!
His protective gear had already been exposed, and with a knife to his neck and thigh, there was no way out. He dared not be careless in the slightest.
Thump, thump...
Suddenly, there was complete silence in front of the clock tower; you could even hear your own heartbeat.
But the straw-hatted wanderer, who was not far away, had vanished without a trace, as if he had turned into an invisible ghost. Duan Lianshan's mind was in utter chaos.
Ye Xingge, holding the Ravine-Leaping Tiger, didn't actually move at all; he was simply listening to the sounds behind him. Soon, Great Beauty reminder reached his ears:
" He Lin has already escaped. There's no one around. These two are from the Return to Origin Cult. Silence them as soon as possible and don't let him use the token to send messages."
Using a jade talisman to send a message requires taking out a plaque and writing something; this can be used to warn someone, but to provide a detailed explanation of the situation is almost impossible in this situation.
Ye Xingge didn't say much upon seeing this. He turned his gaze to the smoke that was gradually being dispersed by the night wind, and slowly slid away, his shoulders slumping like a crouching tiger.
His left hand pressed down in front of his knee, while his right hand held the knife level with his ribs, and veins bulged on his forehead.
Whew~
Burning blood to transform qi increases strength by 30%, not internal strength, but Blood Courses Through the Eight Meridians to burn the body's physical strength, muscle strength, bone strength, and qi and blood strength, forcibly increasing them by 30%!
Under such stimulation, the three-foot-long sword in his hand gradually turned crimson, while the black hilt extended outwards.
The slender blade curves and widens, with dragon patterns gradually emerging on its surface, complemented by a crimson blade edge.
Like a dragon stained with blood!
