Ling Duanshang had made up his mind, so he no longer hesitated. The sword energy around him increased and his speed increased again. He tore the clouds in front of him into pieces and rushed away quickly.
The Shushan Mountain Range is far away from Tiandu. Even though Ling Duanshang¡¯s cultivation level has greatly increased, it still took him three days and three nights to reach the mountain range closest to Tiandu.
Ling Duanshang found a deep mountain, opened a shallow cave with sword energy, and meditated to adjust his breathing. Even though his combat power has surged, he is still wronged at this time. Tiandu, an important city and fortress on the Eastern Continent's Righteous Path, is no different to a tiger's den and a wolf's den for him. The danger is not small, plus the non-stop for three days and three nights. Traveling consumes a lot of money, and recovery at this time is necessary.
Another half day later, Ling Duanshang woke up and turned around. The true energy in his whole body was surging, and he had returned to his full strength. [Outside the cave, Ling Duanshang's eyes fell in the direction of Tiandu, and he rushed into the air with his feet.
Once you pass this mountain range and are away from Tiandu, you will find a wasteland nearly a thousand miles away, with almost nowhere to hide. For Ling Duanshang, this distance was only an hour or two, but he was determined not to rush to the sky so rashly. This approach was tantamount to taking the initiative to send someone to his doorstep.
At this time, the other person was in mid-air, looking down. Although Tiandu is a military town, it is also a link connecting the east and west continents. Once the beast tide passes, it will regain its former prosperity. Although several months have passed, we can still see many caravans going to Tiandu along the way. Naturally, the purpose of ending the war has hit these people again.
After a while, Ling Duanshang¡¯s eyes focused on a wasteland to the south, where a man was riding a horse and running wildly. There was a billowing cloud of yellow smoke, but behind one man and one horse was a cloud of smoke rising higher. It was a group of ten people coming from behind, under the sun. A series of dazzling brilliance flashed past, obviously a bright scimitar. Judging from the situation, it should be that the people behind were chasing the people in front.
Originally, in this situation, Ling Duanshang didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, but the reason that attracted his attention was that the person in front was wearing loyalty armor.
The soldier was obviously exhausted. Although the horse was a first-rate horse, in Ling Duanshang's view, it was obvious that the horse had not been able to rest or drink water for a long time. Already extremely tired.
As if to confirm Ling Duanshang's thoughts, the war horse moved slower and slower, and the distance between it and the crowd chasing behind was getting closer and closer.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Duanshang immediately stepped on it. Aojian unfolded his sword in nine steps, and his body suddenly turned into a strong wind and fell downwards.
"Woo¡ª¡ªWoo¡ª¡ª" Waves of excited shouts came from the rear, like declarations of death. Some of the horse thieves wielding scimitars were so tough that they even dared to chase down soldiers.
Zhou Yi kept waving his whip, making the horse underneath him run faster. But he knew that this was in vain, because the war horse had been running for most of the day and was already extremely tired. He could not bear to whip the horse that had been with him for two years like this. It's a pity that in order to save his life, in order to deliver the imperial edict to General Xu. He had to be cruel.
Zhou Yi's eyes darkened slightly, and a strange-shaped scimitar flew around him. Zhou Yi's heart sank, knowing that it was the leader of the group of horse thieves who cut off the head of a soldier who was traveling with him just now.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Yi took a breath of energy, raised his hand, drew the sword from his waist, and swung the sword.
"Keng!" There was a sound of gold and iron, and the long sword and scimitar chopped together heavily.
"Not good!" Zhou Yi's expression changed drastically. At the moment when the swords met, he realized that his body was falling, and the horse was finally exhausted
With a shrill neigh, the two front hooves of the war horse softened, and it fell immediately. The soldier riding the horse obviously had good martial arts. The moment he landed, he rolled on the ground, rolled over five or six times in a row, and quickly stood up on the ground. With the long sword in his hand, he faced the group of horse thieves rushing towards him with murderous intent.
This group of horse thieves have been licking their swords on horseback for a long time, and their equestrian skills are extremely high. The one-eyed man in front raised his scimitar, and the horse thieves behind him immediately divided into two groups, one on the left and one on the right, surrounding Zhou Yi in a circle.
Zhou Yi stared at the one-eyed man with a pair of tiger eyes, his already dry lips tightly closed. He had no intention of speaking. Facing these murderous horse thieves, any unnecessary words would only arouse their excitement.
"Soldier, hand over your valuables!" A young horse thief with a rag turban on his head shouted excitedly, waving the scimitar in his hand as if he was about to chop the flesh of the person in front of him. superior.
In the eyes of these horse thieves, in the past when encountering such situations, they would usually find very valuable things from these soldiers. The eyes of the horse thieves could not help but fall on a yellow cloth package carried on Zhou Yi's back.Zhou Yi¡¯s expression was as cold as stone. He knew that no matter whether he handed over the contents of the package or not, or whether he had anything valuable on him, these thieves would never show mercy.
When Zhou Yi and his colleagues came here this time, they did not bring any treasures. Instead, they were ordered by the Prime Minister to bring this edict written by the emperor and hand it over to Xu Kuang's loyal followers in Wei. *There were only a few of them. The journey to Tiandu was long and full of crises. When they arrived here, only he and one other person were left. Unfortunately, not long after they encountered these horse thieves, that colleague was killed by these beasts. .
Zhou Yi cannot die no matter what! Because he had to hand over this edict to Xu Kuang. Although Gou Zihua did it deliberately, but now in his opinion, only Xu Kuang can take action!
Seeing that Zhou Yi did not move, the leader did not say a word. He slashed and pointed with the heavy scimitar in his hand, and a cold light flashed in his only remaining right eye. Immediately, the horse thieves let out excited shouts and raised their curved swords one after another. The knife was about to strike at Zhou Yi.
"Oops!" Zhou Yi's heart sank. He originally wanted to wait quietly to see if there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, but he didn't know that this horse thief actually launched a group attack without saying a word. I'm afraid this edict cannot be handed over to General Xu. .
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi became disheartened and let out an angry roar while waving the long sword in his hand, hoping to kill one or two horse thieves as much as possible in his dying moments to avenge his dead brothers.
A strong wind roared over. It was unusual for such a strong wind to suddenly blow in this wasteland. The leader looked up, and his remaining right eye suddenly widened. Just when the strong wind hit, The group of horse thieves in front of them all fell to the ground silently, and fourteen of them fell to the ground almost at the same time.
But after a breath, a strong smell of blood came. Zhou Yi leaned over and looked, but there was a stream of blood flowing from the heart of these horse thieves, and soon it was flowing all over the ground.
A gust of breeze blew by, blowing away a cloud of smoke and dust, and a lonely shadow gradually approached.
"Who is it?" The leader of the horse thieves was obviously panicked. Judging from the ruthlessness of his attack, he was probably also a master of the Tianwu Realm. However, he was the one who caused the death of the fourteen horse thieves just now. There is only one way to die, and now there is only one person behind him. Facing such a master, he can only be terrified.
With a horrified neigh, the group of horses seemed to have encountered some ferocious beast. They all stepped uneasily and then retreated.
After the smoke and dust passed, a young face appeared in front of Zhou Yi and the horse thief.
" Somehow, facing this group of murderous horse thieves, Ling Duanshang felt a surge of anger from nowhere deep in his heart, and without much hesitation, he took the lives of these people with one move.
The three people in front were horrified, and Ling Duanshang was also frightened and confused, because the anger was almost uncontrollable and had no reason.
"Brother, this is the matter of our Qiyue Village. I advise you not to interfere!" The one-eyed man's tone was still a bit cold. Obviously, he said that the strength of Qiyue Village was extraordinary and he would not let go of someone like Ling Duanshang. In his eyes, his changed expression showed that he was already fierce and sullen.
Ling Duanshang suppressed the nameless anger in his heart, turned to look at the injured Zhou Yi and said, "Are you okay?"
"Thank youbrother for saving your life!" Zhou Yi immediately clasped his fists and saluted, with some hesitation in his tone. He obviously didn't expect that this person was so powerful yet so young, so he didn't know what to call him.
Ling Duanshang nodded and did not refuse. He glanced up and landed on a corpse carried on the horse ridden by the one-eyed man. Suddenly, he raised his hand and grabbed it in the air. A suction force was generated out of thin air to pull the tied corpse away, and he lifted the corpse in his hand as if it was light.
The leader frowned. He had been in a very good state of mind after killing people for many years, and the Qiyue Village where he was located was indeed a huge force, no less than the seven major gangs in the Eastern Continent. Although the top masters were extremely powerful , but there are also masters of this strength in Qiyue Village. Thinking of this, the one-eyed man opened his mouth and wanted to say something else.
"Get lost!" Unexpectedly, a deep shout suddenly appeared, but it came from the young man's mouth. This sound was like a wave, and there was a strange expansion and contraction in the air. The one-eyed man's face changed drastically, and he raised his hand without any hesitation. Pull the guy next to you in front of you.
The latter still didn¡¯t know what happened, but even though his eyes exploded and his orifices were bleeding, he didn¡¯t die immediately.
The one-eyed man was immediately frightened to death. He dared not speak any more. He turned his horse's head and tried to escape. However, a sharp sword shot like an arrow, piercing two holes and knocking him down on the wasteland.Zhou Yi retracted his extended arm with a cold expression, and said in a deep voice: "Gouzi, I've avenged you!"
Ling Duanshang turned around. As soon as the leader died, his face softened, and the anger in his heart subsided like an ebbing tide. He looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Brother, I'm sorry!" (To be continued.)
