Wang Dao lay flat on the ground, as if all his strength had been drained. Unable to move at all.
There were footsteps approaching him slowly, as if stepping on fallen leaves in autumn.
He knew that the person who came was not the teacher from Wuli, nor was he his stubborn cousin Yin Fuzhu who insisted on being stubborn with him. Of course, not those world-famous figures like Mo Wenliang, the Nine-Dance Sword Styler. It was Li Yi who slowly came under his influence all the way north.
Xia Chundao was dead. The shot just now had opened Xia Chundao's head, and he died on the spot.
He was too lazy to turn his head to look at Li Yi, but opened his eyes and looked at the sky. His eyes were a little moist, as if it was raining.
However, it was not the rain, but a trace of blood sprayed from Xia Chundao's head onto his face.
Li Yi stretched out his hand to him and said. "Are you happy?"
He held Li Yi's hand, and Li Yi rarely laughed. "Hahahahaha, I didn't expect that Wang Daoping, who was just starting out, killed the notorious Xia Chundao with one shot. He can become famous if he talks about it. It's gratifying."
As he said that, he pulled Wang Daoping up.
Wang Daoping rolled his eyes and said. "What happened just now was just an accident. Xia Chundao missed it, otherwise it would have been you and me who died. However, I am also happy."
Li Yi turned around and walked forward, patting the dust on his body. "I'm naturally happy if I survived."
Wang Daoping followed him and said. "I thought I was really going to die here. I thought it would be useless to burn incense and pray on weekdays."
Li Yi waved his hand. "A friend of mine said that walking in the world is actually about transforming from danger again and again. Living is the best."
"Who is your friend?"
"I met you in Dongfang, Western Chu. My name is Zhou Shu'an."
"It seems that I want to get to know him in the future, but I want to see how your friend is doing."
"It can be seen that you are very talented in the spear art, and you will be worthy of the name of Spear Immortal in the future. But this is not the time to talk about this now. I heard Xia Chundao say that Yang Yun and Yang Fei in the shadow are not far from here. If we don't leave quickly, we might all be dead by the time those two people arrive."
Wang Daoping nodded, walked a few steps, suddenly remembered something, turned around and ran towards Xia Chundao's body.
Li Yi looked at him and finally shook his head.
He was not shy in front of Li Yi and started plundering Xia Chundao wantonly.
As a result, after a while of searching, he actually found a few taels of silver.
Li Yi sat on the horse, grabbed the reins and turned to look at the sunset in the distance.
The setting sun illuminated only the fused shadows of him and the horse, but the horse moved restlessly, as if the previous fright had not stopped. There was a mess all around, or rather behind.
Li Yi thought to himself, this guy Wang Daoping must have been hungry when he was a child, and even had no pants to wear, otherwise he would not be so demanding for money and life.
Wang Daoping stood next to Xia Chundao, raised his lips and smiled. Under the setting sun, his face was a bit yellow, and the cracked lines on his lips were clearly visible against the blood.
However, he smiled and walked towards Li Yi.
However, when he was about to arrive at Li Yi's side, he seemed to remember something again, took out the dagger from his waist, and rushed towards the old horse.
Li Yi looked at him. He was raising the knife and muttering in his mouth as if he was saying an ancient spell.
Li Yi didn't stop him, he just raised his head and took a sip of wine and said as if he was interested. "It's great to be with the sunset and escape from death."
yes! very nice!
Wang Daoping came over, jumped on the horse's back with a horse's leg on his back, sat behind Li Yi, and urged. "The situation is urgent. Leave quickly. As for it, we will deal with it later."
As for why a horse's leg was removed, it is not difficult to guess. The road was definitely difficult and dangerous. They did not dare to travel from villages and towns, so the horse's leg became their next food.
Li Yi pulled the reins, and the white horse galloped out.
In Jiangfeng Town, which is located in the south, a carriage slowly entered the city.
As soon as he entered the town, a young man dressed in Tsing Yi asked about the children next to him. "Is there any letter from the north?"
The kid shook his head. "Since leaving Quling City, I haven't received a letter from the north."
The man in green nodded. "The commander is probably worried about your safety and mine, but that's fine. It saves a lot of trouble. You go ask the store to prepare some meals. It doesn't have to be complicated, just keep it simple."
"Yes." The child responded and ran out. Before leaving, I even closed the door for fear of disturbing him.
The man took out a map from his body and placed it on the table, looking at it carefully.
The man touched his chin and thought, as if studying a treasure map that had disappeared for many years.
Not far away, a horse was already chasing him a few kilometers south of the town.
On the horseback is a thin figure wearing a long black coat and a silk scarf on his face.
Li Yi and Wang Daoping did not know what was happening inside and outside Jiangfeng Town, nor did they know that they would interact with these three people in the future.
At this moment, they were sitting in the woods dozens of kilometers away from where Xia Chundao died, taking a rest.
Li Yi lit a fire under the tree, cleaned the horse's leg and divided it into two parts. One part was used for smoking, and the other part was roasted fiercely.
They were not worried about the water problem. Firstly, both of them had wine with them, so they could take a sip if they were thirsty. Secondly, the place they found was pretty good and had water.
The horse didn't have to worry about being hungry. Because of the well, the grass grew very well around it.
They did not dare to take the main road and chose uninhabited paths, so-called climbing over mountains and ridges.
Come to think of it, this is also the reason why no one discovered this well, otherwise, the water may no longer exist.
The two of them were sitting by the campfire. Li Yi, who had no martial arts skills, naturally took on the important task of barbecuing and at the same time supervising and observing the surrounding movements.
Wang Daoping did not dare to delay and started practicing Song Yi's "Entertainment Marksmanship".
An hour later, Wang Daoping opened his eyes to the smell of meat being grilled by Li Yi.
He took the meat handed over by Li Yi, took a bite, and said vaguely. "It's really uncomfortable to be hungry for a day. Are you feeling the same way?"
"Um!"
Li Yi nodded. asked him again. "How about it?"
Although it was a bit baffling, he knew that Li Yi was not asking about the roasted meat.
First, Li Yi knew that he didn't care about the taste of the food. Second, he knew Li Yi's cooking skills, so there was no need to ask.
As for why I asked this, I guess I was curious about his experience in practicing the "worldly marksmanship".
He didn't know where his thoughts came from, but he actually raised his mouth and started teasing, "Brother Li, you're not scared anymore, are you?"
Li Yi looked at him and said. "how do I say this?"
"I mean, are you afraid that I will become stronger than you if I soar into the sky?"
"My heart is in the vast world. There are many people who are stronger than me. It doesn't matter if there is one more of you." He smiled. "There may be powerful enemies less than a few dozen kilometers behind us. Fortunately, you still have the heart to make such a joke."
Wang Daoping spread his hands. "Okay, okay! You are too boring, just don't tell me."
He touched his chin, took a bite of meat, chewed it slowly and thought about it, as if remembering something, he spoke. "Based on my own feeling, the third form is almost a breakthrough."
Li Yi patted his shoulder and said. "Brother Wang, you are indeed a genius at practicing spears. As you said, if you can't take him away, it's better to give you an advantage."
"Genius? I think you are deliberately entertaining me. Have you ever seen those guys who practice spears and swords, none of them are hiding their secrets? I am average at best, even Fu Zhu scolded me, I can't help it. On the wall.”
Li Yi did not look at Wang Daoping, but turned to look into the distance and said. "I don't know about the others, but you, Wang Daoping, are at least the most qualified person I've ever seen to practice shooting. Oh! In other words, qualified."
Wang Daoping smiled slightly and said. "Li Wenqing, have you ever heard of that peerless genius from Nanmu Country? It is said that he is about the same size as me. He has been a Spear Immortal since last year."
Li Yi handed the wine bottle to Wang Daoping and said. "I didn't expect you to have heard of that peerless genius."
"Of course I've heard of her. It's said that she's a girl. She's not bad looking. She should go to Nanmu to see her if she has the chance. No matter what the reason is."
"What she said is another matter. As for you, don't belittle yourself."
"I know this of course. I'm not trying to compare with others, let alone I can't compare."
Wang Daoping took the wine bottle, thought about it, and handed it back. "Forget it! We are still in danger. If we drink any more, we may not survive tomorrow."
Li Yi thought for a while and felt that what Wang Daoping said made sense, so he immediately put away the wine bottle and said. "That's right, let's see if we can get out alive first!"
If not, no matter how much you drink or eat, it will be in vain.
Wang Daoping put the last piece of meat into his mouth, stood up and walked to the well mouth over there, shrugging. "The meat is not burnt, it has grown."
He came back after taking a sip of water and said to Li Yi. "Take turns to rest, and I'll be on guard in the first half of the night."
Li Yi did not refute, but turned to look at Wang Daoping, who was already sitting under the tree next to the well. He took out a handkerchief from his clothes and wiped the gun body.
Li Yi put his hand on the hilt of the sword and smiled rarely. "be safe."
"Don't worry, even if it's not for me, you will do it." Wang Daoping said without looking at him.
Li Yi closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Fortunately, they encountered no danger overnight.
The next day, Wang Daoping poured the wine from the jug into Li Yi's jug, and filled the other jug with water.
They chose an untraveled path and set off again
But even so, they were still stopped.
This time, those who stopped them were two brothers known as the "Two Deadly Evils" in the shadows.
Li Yi reached his hand to his waist, held the dagger tightly, but looked ahead and said. "The two deadly evil spirits in the shadows!"
Yang Yun waved the knife, put it on his shoulder, and smiled at Wang Daoping and Li Yi. "It's my two brothers."
Li Yi smiled and said. "Come to kill me?"
Yang Fei smiled. "Yes, there is an order from above. You must not disobey it. You can only ask your husband to die."
"But I won't die easily."
Yang Yun said. "Indeed, sir, it seems that he has nine lives. All the way north from Quling City, he was able to avoid danger every time. It is really rare. It's a pity that it ends here."
Wang Daoping jumped off his horse, took out his dagger and played with it, then sat on a stone nearby, feeling a little lazy. "What you two are saying is really mindless. It's really easy for you two to kill me. But have you ever thought about why we have been safe and sound along the way?"
Wang Daoping said and winked at Yang Yun and Yang Fei.
Yang Yun raised his sword and pointed it at Wang Daoping and said. "What do you mean by this? Maybe you think my two brothers are easy to fool."
"I might as well tell you that my mentor has been with me since I came out of the mountain. My mentor has clearly seen this Western Chu world, and he doesn't want me to go astray and follow in your footsteps. My mentor just doesn't want to show up. You wait. Do you really think you can kill us two?"
Wang Daoping finished speaking. It hit the stone with a snap, and a crack opened in the stone.
As soon as Wang Daoping said these words, not only Yang Yun and Yang Fei, but also Li Yi was stunned. He did not expect that there were other masters around them.
But thinking about it, it seems quite reasonable. If there are really no experts around to help, danger can be saved every time.
Yang Fei said. "Don't you think that my brothers are as stupid as pigs, and you deliberately mentioned a mentor to scare them?"
Wang Daoping saw that Yang Yun and Yang Fei seemed to be really frightened, so he struck while the iron was hot and raised his gun high.
With a "bang" sound, the gun was inserted into the ground.
Wang Daoping looked at the two people and said. "Do you two recognize this gun?"
Yang Yun was about to speak, but Yang Fei suddenly saw the origin of the gun and said. "Brother, this gun seems to be."
Yang Yun heard what Yang Fei said, and when he looked over, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
He had met Song Yi back then and was very impressed by his burning golden gun. How could you not recognize him the moment you saw him?
He spoke slowly. "Jin Shi Qiang?"
"That's right, my mentor's Golden World Spear, a rare weapon in the world, is it still eye-catching?"
"But didn't Song Yi die five years ago? How is that possible?"
Wang Daoping suddenly turned his head and looked over, his eyes sharp, as if he could kill someone. roared out. "It's a joke. My master is a martial arts prodigy and one of the best spear masters in the world. I really think anyone can kill him."
Yang Fei saw that he was speaking with force, and for a moment, he became suspicious and said. "Brother, it doesn't look like he is telling lies. Should we withdraw first and check the situation?"
Yang Yun looked at Wang Daoping and Li Yi and said unwillingly. "Sir, we will meet again."
After saying that, the two turned around and jumped deep into the woods.
Dozens of minutes later, Wang Daoping sat down on the ground, so frightened that he almost lost all strength.
he said. "It's really dangerous. The secret was almost exposed."
Li Yi stretched out his hand to Wang Daoping and said. "I thought what you said was true, and I didn't realize it until later. But, good job."
Wang Daoping nodded, grabbed Li Yi's hand, and under Li Yi's guidance, he turned over and landed on the horse.
The two people ran all the way in the opposite direction of Yang Yun and Yang Fei's retreat, knowing very well that the "Deadly Evils" were not stupid people with simple minds and well-developed limbs. They would always find out what happened.
But what they never expected was that the two people would react so quickly. They had just escaped for a day and were stopped again on the road about to enter the desert city.
Li Yi and Wang Daoping stood in front of the moss-covered stone, staring straight ahead.
Both of them had scratches on their bodies, which were caused by falling off their horses. Fortunately, they were just skin scratches and were not seriously injured.
It's just that the white horse that Uncle Xi gave him had its legs cut off by a knife thrown by Yang Fei while it was running.
Later, while rolling, Yang Yun cut him in half with a knife, and he died on the spot.
Yang Yun touched the blade with his hand and smiled. "I thought before that the Spear Immortal was really by your side. Now it seems that my two brothers thought too much before. If you really have an expert by your side, why didn't you take action!"
Li Yi signaled to Wang Daoping. Wang Daoping understood what he meant. The two of them separated instantly. Wang Daoping shot him out. Not to be outdone, Li Yi pulled out the dagger from his waist and jumped out.
Wang Daoping himself didn't expect that he would actually use a little more force and directly hit Yang Yun back a few steps.
Li Yi's knife landed on Yang Yun's wrist, rotating around Yang Yun's wrist and cutting.
Yang Yun was shocked, grabbed Li Yi's wrist with his backhand, and threw Li Yi directly.
Li Yi rolled along the ground and hit a tree in front of him. The tree was uprooted and fell down.
Wang Daoping's eyes were focused, and he didn't have time to care about Li Yi. Instead, he strode forward, raised his spear and smashed it down again. After landing, he swept left and right.
But just as he was about to reach Yang Yun's face, Yang Fei punched him, landing directly on his shoulder and knocking him away completely.
He performed a trick in the air, stuck the tail of the gun on the ground, and held the gun tightly. When it stopped, a half-meter-wide crack had been pulled out of the ground.
Wang Daoping was panting and stood up with difficulty. After wiping the blood on his mouth, he raised the Jin Shi Qiang with one hand and pointed it at Yang Yun and Yang Fei.
His worldly marksmanship has always improved rapidly and has reached the level of the third form, but he still has no chance of winning against these two masters of the Mysterious Realm.
But right now, even if he was unwilling to do so, he couldn't be cowardly at all.
