Wang Daoping returned the wine flask to Li Yi and spoke with some enthusiasm. "Although it's not a good wine, in this place where there is no water, it's delicious to have a sip of it, so don't throw it away."
After saying that, he didn't forget to wink, as if he was teasing the little lady.
Li Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. Just when he was about to raise his head and take another sip, Wang Daoping suddenly shouted loudly. "careful."
As Wang Daoping spoke, he had already deflected a shot arrow and nailed it to the side.
Li Yi reacted instantly. The sword was swung out, cutting one feather arrow in half, and the other one was already firmly grasped in the palm of his hand.
Someone clapped their hands on the road ahead. "Sir, your skills are indeed extraordinary. It's just that you're bleeding, so why don't you let it go? Oh! I really regret not listening to that guy's idea. It would be interesting to put poison on the arrows."
This man is dressed in black.
Wang Daoping squinted his eyes, completely confused as to where the "sir" mentioned by the man in front of him came from.
Could it be him? But he is not a gentleman at all! You can’t be a gentleman!
So! Could it be the guy next to me? If so, who is he?
But even though he was thinking this, he still tightened his grip on the dark red spear in his hand.
Based on his experience, the man in front of him was definitely not comparable to the few remnant soldiers on the mountain, at least the aura on his body was different. He is no opponent.
However, the moment he grasped the spear. Li Yi laughed. "When did the people in this world become so interesting? If you have never met someone before, you can call them sir, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by others."
The man shrugged and didn't care. "No, I have met sir."
"Hey! Brother Li, who are you? It's unscientific for them to make such a big show of things! Look, this guy is a master of Xuan level, and his strength is not weak."
"How do I know? They must be crazy! This guy is a person from the shadows. Speaking of which, I also saw a wave some time ago, but luckily, he didn't die."
"Brother Li, you're just asking for blessings." Wang Daoping patted Li Yi on the shoulder and said to the man. "I don't know him personally. It's just a chance encounter. If you have any grudges, just settle them yourself. I'll leave now and won't disturb you two."
With that said, he pulled away the reins and moved away, showing no heroic spirit of drawing a sword to help when the road was rough.
The man on the roadside didn't care about him, but took off the bamboo hat on his head and threw it at Li Yi like a dart.
Li Yi split the bamboo hat in half with a sword and kicked dozens of stones towards the man.
The man struck him with a palm and knocked all the stones back on the spot.
Li Yi swung his sword and knocked several stones to the ground on the spot.
The man smiled slightly, waved his hand gently, and directly drove Li Yi away from a few dozen steps away.
the man said. "Everyone in the world says that you are an astonishing talent. I only think of people as a strategist. I didn't expect that this killing technique is also top-notch. It's a pity that my cultivation level is too low, so the killing technique seems flashy when used."
"Really! Then look at my sword." As Li Yi said, he had already approached the man and struck the man's throat with his sword.
But the man was not in a hurry, as if he had already understood all this, and actually clamped Li Yi's sword with only two fingers. Li Yi pushed forward hard, and a ray of light shot out between the man's two fingers. .
But the man just smiled slightly and threw Li Yi and his long sword away. He immediately jumped up and flew away with a palm, hitting Li Yi.
Li Yi dodged, went around to one side and slashed with his sword. The man stretched out his hand to block, but Li Yi had changed direction again and had gone around behind the man. He raised his sword high and stabbed it straight at the back of the man's neck.
The man turned around and popped out two fingers again, but this time he did not clamp Li Yi's sword, but pressed hard against Li Yi's scream with a strong posture.
Hearing a "boom" sound, Li Yi was directly pressed one meter away, unable to get close at all.
The man gave Li Yi a slight push, and Li Yi flew up and was thrown far away again.
Li Yi fell heavily in the distance, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. There was a faint feeling of weakness in my arms.
This is the gap between cultivation levels, which cannot be surpassed by the killing technique.
Li Yi stood up and threw the sword at the man like a dart. The whole person also pounced like a cheetah.
The long sword was knocked away by the man's palm. When he looked up, Li Yi had already rushed in front of him. Just as he was raising his fist to hit it, the long sword that he knocked away fell on Li Yi's left hand again like a boomerang.
Li Yi punched him hard in the face with his right hand, and stabbed him with the long sword in his left hand, but in the direction of his throat.
He reached out and pulled out a wooden stick from the grass on the ground, and swept it away. It hit Li Yi's long sword and swept Li Yi back completely.
Li Yi only felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, his whole arm seemed to be broken, and he almost couldn't hold the sword.
The man felt a strong wind blowing behind him, and was suddenly startled. Just as he was about to turn around, a gun stabbed the man in the back.
The man retreated, swung out his stick, and collided with Wang Daoping's spear behind him, instantly causing sparks to fly out.
Seeing that the opportunity was rare, Li Yi also pounced on it.
For a moment, Li Yi and Wang Daoping tightly surrounded the man within the attack range.
The man just felt that something was wrong. If the two of them were facing the same direction before, then he could handle it easily. But now, these two people are in tandem, and he has three heads and six arms. He is a little overwhelmed under the exhaustion of running for his life.
But every time he swung the wooden stick, his strength did not decrease, but he could only keep up with the two of them.
He swung the stick, but Wang Daoping just sneered.
Wang Daoping is not here to kill the people in front of him. This was the moment he had been waiting for.
The wooden stick hit the spear directly, and the spear instantly showed its original shape. It was not the dark red spear that Wang Daoping used to deal with the dozens of remnant soldiers at all, but a spear disguised as a wooden stick. The tip of the spear was full of fire and thunder stacked one after another.
Wang Daoping dropped the spear, winked at Li Yi, and ran back.
However, Li Yi did not follow his advice. Instead, he stabbed out the spear at the moment it exploded.
The man's face was blasted by fire and thunder, and his chest was bloody and bloody. As he was retreating, he hit the tip of Li Yi's sword.
Li Yi pressed his hands on the hilt of the sword and directly inserted the entire sword into the man's chest.
The man spat out a mouthful of blood, roared angrily, and was on the verge of explosion.
However, Li Yi had no time to care about this. He pressed one hand tightly against the hilt of the sword and lowered the other hand. He had been injured by Wang Daoping's fire thunder.
Li Yi yelled. "rise!"
Even though it was just one hand, it almost lifted the man up.
However, at this time, the man opened his palms and raised them high. His whole body seemed to be gathering energy, and thunder and lightning were hovering above his palms.
The man dropped his palm, and the lightning touched the sword and exploded instantly, blowing the entire sword into pieces.
Wang Daoping was furious, "Li Wenqing, are you crazy?"
However, after all, he still did not dare to delay his luck. Soon, white spiritual energy enveloped his body, and he punched the man.
He was certain that even if this punch could not kill the man, it could still injure him a second time. After all, the man had already suffered high-intensity internal injuries.
But just when he was about to come into contact with that person, a figure in purple floated over and blocked Wang Daoping's fist.
The man in purple led the man away as if he was teasing a woman.
Wang Daoping turned around and looked, and saw the two men slowly landing on the treetops in front of them. The man in purple smiled slightly, but the man in black spit out a mouthful of blood.
The man in purple is a man, about thirty years old, not too young, but not very old either.
His mustache is very distinctive, the kind that impresses people at a glance.
The man in purple smiled. "The fire and thunder are powerful. Is this little brother from Jiugong Mountain?"
Wang Daoping stood up straight and smiled. "Yes, I am a disciple of Jiugongshan."
"I haven't seen your palace master for many years. I think I had some friendship with him back then."
"I don't know about this. But! Our palace master is not as good as Long Yang. You'd better not think too much about him."
Li Yi threw the sword hilt aside, spit out a mouthful of blood, and said. "Shadow is really generous. I, a small person, actually sent people like you out. I wonder which one of the Eight Stars and Eight Generals you are? At least I will understand even if I die, right?"
"Your Excellency, you are shouting, you young people! You are really rude. After all, I am half a senior after all!"
Wang Daoping shrugged. "Senior, you have to look at who he is. Shadow, who kills people and sells goods, does dirty things, and is not worthy of the title of senior."
The man in purple sighed. "Forget it, if I argue with you young people, I'm afraid people will laugh to death if I tell you. Duan Chengxuan, you two must remember this."
Li Yi was shocked. "Purple-clothed Duan Chengxuan."
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that I could be recognized by sir. I'm quite satisfied."
Li Yi laughed. "Hahahaha, Duan Chengxuan, do you really think that I am really the gentleman you call me?"
"So what if it's not? Anyone who is targeted by the shadow will die. Besides, I have met Mr., so I can't be wrong."
"Then what do you want?" Wang Daoping stared at Duan Chengxuan.
Duan Chengxuan smiled. "He can't die now."
"It sounds like if he doesn't die, it sounds like we are going to die!" Wang Daoping spread his hands.
"So, if you have any last words, I still have time to write them. I will take them back to you later and put them in Langya Pavilion to be sung for thousands of years."
Li Yi sneered. "Duan Chengxuan, it's not easy for you to kill us."
"Oh! What do you say?" Duan Chengxuan pulled out a soft sword from his waist and waved it.
"Because we can run." Li Yi took out a packet of medicinal powder from behind and threw it towards Duan Chengxuan and the other two. But he stepped back and jumped on the horse, shouting at Wang Daoping. "Wang Daoping, please leave quickly."
Wang Daoping did not dare to delay. He threw a few more fire thunders at the place where the medicinal powder spread. He also jumped on his horse and galloped to follow Li Yi.
It is unimaginable that a dying old horse was not thrown away by Li Yi's white horse.
After Li Yi and Wang Daoping disappeared from sight, the man in black spoke. "Why don't you catch up?"
"If you catch them, they will undoubtedly die, but you won't be able to survive either."
"You really think I'm that important to Shadow."
"These two people are just two corpses, let them live a little longer. Besides, I promised her that I will not let anything happen to you. I know that you were seriously injured, and that sword almost pierced your heart. , you are just pretending to be calm."
"Thanks."
"When did the people from Shadow become so polite? They are all licking blood from the edge of a knife. There will be no such good opportunity next time."
Here, Li Yi and Wang Daoping fled northward. It was not until they saw the figure of Jiangfeng Town that they reined in the reins and stopped on a certain mountain.
The two men turned their horses' heads and high-fived and cheered on horseback.
Wang Daoping made a gesture to the distance and said. "Hahahahaha, I didn't expect to be able to escape from the hands of the shadow. This trip is not in vain. If word of it gets out in the future, it will probably be a top priority for our ancestors."
Li Yi looked at the somewhat proud Wang Daoping and smiled slightly. "I thought you would run away!"
Wang Daoping stopped his hand and looked at Li Yi. "Hahahaha... So that purple-clothed Duan Chengxuan is nothing more than that!"
The two people spun their horses and walked toward Jiangfeng Town.
"Brother Wang, you haven't answered me yet, why didn't you just leave?"
Wang Daoping smiled. "You don't look like a bad person, not to mention that I have indeed taken advantage of you before. Although I, Wang Daoping, am not a kind person, I am still loyal to the world. If I really leave today, won't I be punished when I become famous all over the world in the future? People poked their spines and cursed.”
"Thank you." Li Yi said.
"Li Wenqing, who of us is following whom? You are too polite." Wang Daoping chuckled.
Li Yi couldn't tell where he got the courage to be so familiar with someone he had known for less than a day.
Wang Daoping led the horse towards the front, swishing the horse's tail in all directions to drive away mosquitoes. He did look a bit cool.
But he seemed to have remembered something again and said seriously. "But Li Wenqing, where does the word "Mr." come from?
Li Yi spread his hands and said with an innocent face. "I don't know either. Maybe the guys in the shadows have gone crazy. Mr. Left and Mr. Right, it's just like Mr. Jia said. The things done by the shadows have always been difficult for people to figure out."
"Okay! Anyway, it wasn't me who was intercepted by those people. Why should I go through all the trouble? I have to ask."
Li Yi cried and laughed, took off the wine bottle from his waist, wiped off the blood stains on it, took a sip first, and handed the wine bottle over. "Don't tell me you are confused. I am confused myself. But you, with such a powerful force as Jiugongshan behind you, no wonder you are so confident."
Wang Daoping took a sip of wine and grinned. "Actually, let me tell you, I am not from Jiugong Mountain at all. The fire thunder was found from the bandits."
Li Yi rolled his eyes, not believing what he said.
Wang Daoping sighed. "Forget it, I know you won't believe it, so it's all in vain."
With that said, the two people had entered Jiangfeng Town.
The two of them found a restaurant that looked nice, tied their horses in front of the restaurant, and walked in.
I don't know if it was because of the bandits who robbed him, but Wang Daoping acted like a rich man when he opened his mouth. "Waiter, great food."
"Okay! Let's prepare it for the guest officer." The waiter responded and went to the kitchen.
After giving instructions to the waiter, Wang Daoping took out two teacups, played a very conceited way of cutting tea, and poured himself and Li Yi a cup each. said. "To be honest, I usually eat whatever I want and never pay attention to it, but I'm in love with you, so I made a special extra meal today."
"Looks like it's thanks to me." Li Yi didn't care, raised the cup of tea that Wang Daoping poured and took a sip.
Wang Daoping looked at him and smiled. "But having said that, that move you just made was really cool. You must have used it often before!"
"We can't defeat Duan Chengxuan, so the Thirty-Six Strategy is the best strategy."
Wang Daoping suddenly remembered something and asked Li Yi again. "By the way, weren't you also hit by the fire and thunder? Why are you acting like nothing is happening now?"
Li Yi pointed to his chest and said. "Everything else is fine. It's just that this arm is seriously injured."
Wang Daoping reached out and knocked on his chest, then gave a thumbs up, just looked at his arm that didn't seem to be very agile, and said. "You guys are working too hard."
As for the thing on Li Yi's chest, it was none other than a chest protector.
