, on the muddy border trail, the hooves of several fast horses broke through the puddles of yellow mud on the ground, and the splashed muddy water hit the green grass on both sides of the road.
Immediately, several people with ferocious faces galloped south.
Their goal is the only inn between Huangguo and Lancang Daze.
The sound of a galloping horse sounded loudly, approaching from far away as fast as thunder, breaking the tranquility of Mapo Station.
The horse's hooves kicked up dust all over the sky, flying up to half the sky like a whirlwind, revealing several powerful black-armored knights.
Some of them were naked from the waist up, and some were wearing leather or animal skins. They all wore all kinds of ferocious warrior helmets on their heads, and had long bows and quivers on their backs filled with long arrows. It was Zonghengli. On the mainland of China, the Tiehuang soldiers and bandits of the desert country frightened the Gui army.
It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, the earth was hot, Huangyang Avenue, the main street of Mapo Station, was quite lively. In addition to the residents of the town, there were also many foreign tourists and businessmen.
But when the sound of hooves came together and they saw the face of the person coming, the crowd shouted for their children. After the chaos, the whole street immediately became deserted, and everyone hid in the buildings or hid in the side alleys.
"Why did these damned, murderous people suddenly come to this place? Are they going to massacre this inn?"
It was too late, but soon, soldiers and bandits from the Huang country rushed to the entrance of Huangyang Avenue, the main street.
After running into the long street, the riding speed of the Huang country soldiers increased instead of slowing down. The one-eyed Huang man in the lead let out a roar, and raised the whip in his hand into the air. It whizzed around in the sky, then fell heavily and hit the horse. On the hip, the strong horse roared in pain and charged like an arrow towards the other end of the long street. The remaining two people followed suit, and the shouts came one after another. The three horses passed by like the wind, making people feel a sense of urgency. The tragic feeling was overwhelming.
At this moment, a little white dog couldn't bear the fright and ran out of a side alley in a frantic manner, just in time to meet the galloping horse in the flash of lightning.
The one-eyed desolate man who took the lead, the horse under the seat, was frightened and jumped up with its front hooves. The one-eyed desolate man did not panic and pulled the reins. The man and the horse jumped forward at the same time, leaping over the rushing white dog like a god. When the man and the horse were still in the air, the people behind him A long-armed man bent his bow and nocked an arrow. The sharp arrow flashed with lightning. In an instant, he nailed the white dog running to the wall next to the road into the wall alive.
The long-armed desolate man cheered and continued to speed up, catching up with the leading one-eyed desolate man. In the blink of an eye, the three of them turned into a few small black spots.
The three people came and went like a whirlwind, leaving dust flying all over the sky.
The people at [Mapo Station] came out of the closed room and secretly said they were lucky.
The people saw the masterpieces left by the three men again.
The arrow tail exposed on the wall was shaking slightly, the white dog's blood was still dripping, and there was a pool of blood on the ground.
The white dog was actually released by Chi Chaan to test the strength of the three of them.
From the arrow that shot into the earth wall, Chi Chao could tell that the long-armed barbarian's archery skills were already at the level of an archery master.
At the same time, in the attic of the largest restaurant [Yunxiao Tower] in [Mapo Station], a swordsman wearing a black gauze hat was watching the deserted country soldiers and bandits go away.
The scene just now was still lingering in his mind. The swordsman was about eighty-nine years old. He was tall and thin, and his hands and feet were longer than ordinary people. His movements were dexterous, and the movement of his eyes made people feel that he was an extraordinary person.
At the same time, there were a few brave townspeople and out-of-towners peeping out of the window with him on the Guanyun Tower, while the timid ones huddled in their seats.
It was lunch time, and about a dozen tables were filled with people, but there was silence. The waiters also stopped running around. War broke out everywhere, and everyone was in a heavy mood. The short but shrill scream of the white dog before his death seemed to They were reminded of the same fate they might encounter in the future, and many people still had expressions on their faces, as if the end of the world was approaching.
Such a terrifying enemy, just one of his men who shoots arrows, is a great shock to this young man who is determined to kill his enemy.
While the swordsman was observing the outside of the street, every move of the various people in the restaurant could not escape his eyes and ears. One of them was a tall, ordinary-dressed foreigner sitting facing the wall. He had an extraordinary appearance and a majestic bearing. He is obviously an extraordinary person.
This person is Chi Chao, the person the soldiers and bandits of the Huang country are looking for.
When soldiers and bandits from the desert country rushed past, this man did not show any signs of uneasiness like others, nor did he get up and leave his seat to watch. However, he was sitting silently, his fingers tapping the wood gently and rhythmically. Table, this method of observation using sound as substitute for sound is really shocking. Unless a master of observation like the swordsman is not there, he would never be able to draw such an inference.
The shock in the swordsman's heart is really indescribable, and there are many doubts in his heart. First, the soldiers and bandits from the desert country appeared here inexplicably, and then there was the white dog that suddenly appeared in the streets, and even the abnormal wine man in the restaurant. Guest, are the three related, or is it just a coincidence?
At this time, Chi Chaan stood up to do the accounting, walked to the counter, and chatted with the shopkeeper for a few words. To others, it sounded like he was just a visitor from afar, asking about nearby scenic spots, but the swordsman knew that this person was extremely wealthy. An experienced expert has already clarified the information he wants in his casual questions and answers, and because the questions are not limited to a certain target, he does not have to worry about others finding out his true destination. He is extremely sophisticated.
At this time, the swordsman had made up his mind, hoping to trace the purpose of the deserted country's soldiers and bandits from this seemingly unrelated person.
Another reason is that Chi Chaan does not have the aura of a practitioner. The swordsman can use his own force as a threat if he asks Chi Chaan.
Chi Chaan stepped out of the restaurant and walked slowly and slowly towards the direction where the soldiers and bandits of the Huang Kingdom disappeared just now.
The swordsman waited until he was gone and quickly went downstairs.
The swordsman walked out of the avenue and turned into a side alley. He spread out his body skills and moved through the alley as fast as a ghost, tracking Chi Chaos traces.
As he walked, the swordsman took off his clothes and put them on again. Then he took out a kind of spice and applied it on the clothes. These complicated actions were all performed at the same time while he was running. So when he saw Chi Chaan again, When he turned his back, Gao Chichao had already walked out of [Mapo Station], and the swordsman also changed from the warrior's attire to an authentic farmer with dark skin, like a magical transformation.
While the swordsman used the big trees and bushes beside the road to hide, he did not dare to follow too closely because he was still extremely wary of Chi Chao. If he missed it, he might be in danger of his own life. But the swordsman is very confident in his tracking skills and wandering skills. If he wants to escape in an unexpected situation, even if the enemy is twenty times faster, he can only do nothing.
At this time, Chi Chao suddenly turned from the main road to Lancang Daze into a branch road, and the swordsman hesitated greatly.
He has been here for five days and knows the surrounding environment very well. Experts like them who are good at tracking and detection must have superhuman memory in order to get twice the result with half the effort.
To go to [Lancang Daze], it only takes three days to take the main road, and five days to take the branch road.
Although the branch road takes more time, the branch road is full of yellow sand and hills.
So when the swordsman saw the direction set by Chi Chao, he knew that there were no tall trees in that area, which was not conducive to concealing his whereabouts. If he continued to follow, he would have to rely on the direction of the scent and footprints to keep him far away, making it difficult to get close.
Thinking of this, the swordsman knew that he had to make a decision quickly.
In fact, if the target wasn't so unfathomable, the swordsman wouldn't have to worry so much.
At this moment, a powerful murderous aura that looked like a real thing rushed from behind. The swordsman was so frightened that he rushed forward without thinking about it.
He stepped forward like an arrow and moved forward more than twenty feet in an instant. The shadows of the trees on both sides retreated sharply.
He exerted his physical strength to the limit, but the murderous aura followed him closely, neither increasing nor decreasing. No matter how fast he rushed forward, it threatened him all the time.
Under Chi Chaan's magical foot power of crossing the river with a reed, the swordsman's speed was like a snail.
The swordsman made a decisive decision and stopped. There was no chance of escape from such a blind dodge. If he didn't stop, he would collapse from exhaustion without using his hands to others.
But after the swordsman stopped, the murderous aura remained behind him.
Of course, the swordsman knew that he was far worse than before.
He is now a master-level cultivator. He does not have much soul power in his body. His dodge just now only used up 67/10 of it. Now he has no chance to adjust his breath. The murderous aura coming from behind him is like
Strong winds and huge waves rushed toward him one after another. The swordsman lost all his opportunities. Even if he faced thousands of troops, he would not be so helpless.
Suddenly his murderous aura slowed down a bit, and the swordsman withdrew his kick from the edge of collapse. A very calm voice behind him asked: "Who are you?"
A glimmer of hope arose in the swordsman's heart, and he hurriedly replied: "I am Lin Shuiyu, a villager from Shuiyu Township on the border of Gui Kingdom."
Chi Chaan, who was behind the swordsman, pondered for a moment. The swordsman's whole body felt light, the pressure disappeared, and he quickly turned his head.
In front of him, about ten feet away, stood the person he was following, with no weapons in his hands. Could it be that this person could unleash such murderous intent without the help of a weapon?
The swordsman quickly raised his hands as a courtesy and said, "Thank you, senior, for showing mercy."
After Chi Chao looked at the swordsman, he said, "No need to be polite. If I hadn't seen that you didn't show murderous intentions just now, you would really have turned into a ghost now."
The swordsman knew that he was on the verge of death. Suddenly, with a thought in his mind, he remembered a person based on Chi Chaan's appearance, and said dumbfounded: "You... are you the Four Gentlemen... Chi Chaan?"
Chi Chaan smiled slightly and said, "I am really from the Gui Kingdom. He was surprised when he found out who I was, instead of his eyes shining like he saw money."
"Um (︶︿︶) = convex"
The swordsman smiled awkwardly.
"Tell me, why are you following me?" Chi Chao asked. "What is your purpose?"
The swordsman told Chi Chao about the soldiers and bandits of the Huang country one by one, and also told him about his deep hatred against the soldiers and bandits of the Huang country. He followed Chi Chaan entirely because he saw that Chi Chao had no fear of the soldiers and bandits of the Huang country. He immediately Be suspicious.
Only then did he come up with the idea of tracking Chi Chaan, and wanted to find out who Chi Chaan was.
