Most people are afraid when facing death.
Zhu Yunxi was naturally not exempt from this. He wanted to turn around and escape, but his excessive fear made it impossible for him to use any strength, and he could not even stand up.
The man in black wiped the bloody long knife on his body. It was covered with the blood of the guard leader.
He smiled while wiping it. The picture looked a little scary, but he didn't realize it.
He looked down at Zhu Yunxi and said softly: "After all, we are of royal blood. Even if we die, we cannot let the blood of others stain the royal blood. You think I am so considerate, don't you?"
Although he asked softly and his voice sounded extremely gentle, these words still aggravated Zhu Yunxi's panic.
His body shook uncontrollably again, and to a great extent.
The man in black looked at the long knife that had regained its luster, held Zhu Yunxi's chin with one hand, and said, "Okay, it's time to get on the road. My technique is pretty good. You probably won't be in pain for long."
The long knife slowly approached Zhu Yunxi. Even though Zhu Yunxi shook his head desperately, it was of no use at all.
Seeing the tip of the knife getting closer and closer, it was already reaching his throat.
Zhu Yunxi seemed to have felt the biting coldness emanating from the tip of the knife, felt the approach of death, and felt what despair was.
But at this moment, a sword energy struck quickly.
The man in black was extremely alert, his brows furrowed and his ears moved.
Just when the sword energy was about to hit him, the knife that originally stabbed Zhu Yunxi was quickly retracted. The blade moved sideways and collided with the sword energy, and the sword energy was also extinguished.
But there is another sword energy hidden behind the sword energy. Its strength cannot be compared with the former, but it is well hidden under the power of the former.
This sword energy was directed towards the hand of the man in black. At this moment, it was too late for him to wave the sword to resist. In desperation, he could only let go of the hand holding Zhu Yunxi's chin.
"Who is it?" The man in black felt the power of the sword, and his voice became no longer calm.
But the person who came was obviously not prepared to answer, because what he answered was a few sword energy.
The man in black ducked and dodged, but the other men in black obviously didn't have that outstanding martial arts skills. Three or four of them were injured by the sword energy because they couldn't avoid it.
The man in black squinted his eyes and saw two fast horses galloping towards the official road.
"Stop them!" the man in black ordered.
The other men in black wanted to form a formation, but the horses galloped very fast. Before they could stop them, the horses had already jumped into the crowd.
A horse ran rampant and knocked away four or five men in black.
The other horse jumped high and jumped over the heads of several men in black.
Then the horse landed firmly on the ground, and the man in black realized that there was someone on the horse's back.
Who else could this person be if he wasn't Zhang Ren?
The leader of the men in black exclaimed: "Zhang Ren, why are you here?"
Zhang Ren jumped off the horse's back, his feet like wind, and in a few flashes he reached Zhu Yunxi's side.
He grabbed Zhu Yunxi and without stopping, he rushed to the carriage in one quick step.
Zhang Ren looked at Zhu Yunxi, who was trembling all over, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Zhu Yunxi was in a daze, as if he hadn't come out of the fear just now. He gasped a few times, and then his eyes regained some vitality. He tilted his head and looked at Zhang Ren. Although he was still shaking badly, he still nodded hard. nodded.
….
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was fine, Zhang Ren felt relieved. Then he looked at the leader of the men in black and asked, "Do you know me?"
There are many people who know Zhang Ren in Jinling City, but not many can recognize him by his appearance.
Moreover, Lan Yu was arrested just this morning, and Zhu Yunxi was also forcibly sent to the fiefdom this morning. However, the man in black is already waiting here, which means that the man in black has received the news in advance.
Moreover, the man in black knew Zhang Ren, so it was obvious that the person behind him was of high status.
The man in black did not answer this question, but changed the subject and said with a sneer: "Zhang
Ren, do you think you can save Zhu Yunxi by yourself? "
Although Zhang Ren is good at martial arts, the man in black still has strong self-confidence. He firmly believes that his martial arts is better than Zhang Ren, and there are so many of his subordinates here. As long as he fights with Zhang Ren, his subordinates will automatically You can easily end Zhu Yunxi's life.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a man with a thousand faces leaped over and jumped up to Zhang Ren's side.
He raised his eyebrows at the man in black and asked, "What if you add me in?"
The man in black recognized Zhang Ren, and naturally he also recognized the Thousand-Faced Man.
He frowned slightly and thought for a moment. He himself could deal with Zhang Ren, but none of the men he brought could deal with the Thousand-faced Man. If he attacked with force, Zhu Yunxi could indeed be killed, but the men he brought with him could indeed kill him. I'm afraid all these men will die here.
It was completely unworthy for the man in black to exchange his men's lives for Zhu Yunxi's life, and the order he received was to kill Zhu Yunxi if it was feasible, and if not, it didn't matter if he let Zhu Yunxi go.
Because the next road to Ruchang is not smooth, there are many people in the world who want Zhu Yunxi to die.
The possibility of Zhu Yunxi reaching the fief alive is very slim.
The man in black raised his hand and ordered the men in black around him: "Let's retreat!"
After hearing this, Zhu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his life had been saved. The Thousand-faced Man also breathed a sigh of relief, because he felt that these men in black were not easy to mess with.
But Zhang Ren didn't think so. Now that Liang Zi had formed a relationship, he was eager to know the true identity of the man in black.
"You can come when you want? Leave when you want? Are you too disrespectful of us?"
Qianmianren and Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhang Ren who said this, and couldn't help but widen their eyes. Qianmianren even said: "Brother, you can say what you want, don't you take our lives too seriously?" Already?"
The man in black also turned around and said with a smile: "A man with a thousand faces is still sensible, Zhang Ren, do you really think you can keep me?"
Zhang Ren snorted coldly and said, "Whether you can stay or not, you have to try to know."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ren exerted force on his feet, raised his knife and flew towards the man in black.
Zhang Ren slashed horizontally with his sword, leaving deep scars on the official road, as if cutting the official road in two.
It's a pity that this powerful and heavy blow was easily dodged by the man in black.
The man in black saw the right moment and waved a palm with his backhand, heading straight for Zhang Ren's shoulder.
Zhang Ren was already in the air, with nowhere to use his strength. It was too late to put away his sword and defend, so he could only use his left hand to use his inner strength to fight the man in black.
The palms of the two people met, and the two internal forces raged, causing an explosion above the official road and smoke flying everywhere.
The man in black was very calm and did not move an inch, while Zhang Ren returned to the roof of the car with the help of the reaction force.
Night rivers and lakes.
