After jumping out of the Taoist temple, Zhou Yiming quickly moved to the northwest. At the same time, he raised his head to observe the situation ahead. After taking a few glances, he secretly felt that something was not good.
Because I was wasting some time just talking to Miss Pang in the Taoist temple, I have lost the opportunity to catch up with the Supreme Taoist now. His strength is almost the same as that of the Supreme Taoist, and the two people's foot strength is even more comparable. Therefore, it is simply impossible to catch up with the Supreme Taoist in a short period of time.
And more importantly, there was no moon in the sky at this time, and it was pitch black between heaven and earth. If he didn't have a strong sense of direction, Zhou Ming might even get lost in the darkness.
In fact, Zhou Yiming was not worried that the Supreme Taoist would take back his weapon first. He was most afraid that the Supreme Taoist would drop his weapon, Tie Ruyi, and run for his life in a hurry. Then he would find a hidden place to hide, and then escape again after the limelight was over. Return to the North Country.
If Supreme Taoist adopts this method, Yi Ming will not be able to do anything to him, because Huijing City is too big and there are countless places to hide. Even if four policemen who patrol the Yamen are sent out to search and arrest after the incident, with the help of Supreme Taoist It is also difficult to catch the Taoist's hidden strength.
Thinking of these, Zhou Ming's scalp went numb. After all, he was the one who discovered Beiguo's work this time, and he was the one who led the arrest plan. If other people could successfully catch the Beiguo thieves, he would be the only one who allowed the Supreme Taoist to escape. , when the time comes to return to the Yamen, he will be very embarrassed.
And more importantly, Zhou Ming's discovery of such a huge conspiracy should have been a great achievement, but he actually let one of the important spies escape. This can be said to be a heinous crime for the police officers in the court. The unforgivable sin.
He had conflicts with Yan Qiu, the most powerful official in the imperial court. The reason why he is still safe now is entirely because Yan Qiu has not found any flaws or evidence of his crime. Once he lets the supreme Taoist go, it can be said that If he directly handed Yan Qiu the knife to kill him, even if Han Pingzhi had a good relationship with him, he would be unable to save himself.
Cold sweat broke out on Zhou Yiming's forehead, and he unconsciously increased his pace to the fastest pace. He felt really regretful in his heart. He really shouldn't have been such a mother-in-law just now. He turned around and jumped out without saying a word to Miss Pang. Now he is not in trouble. In such a passive situation.
Looking at the darkness ahead, Zhou Yiming felt desperate. In this situation, even if he could catch up with the Supreme Taoist, there was a high probability of being ambushed by him. Even in a one-on-one duel with open swords and guns, Yi Ming would not be able to do anything. He was absolutely certain that he could defeat the Supreme Taoist. If he really fell into his scheme, given Yi Ming's current strength, the probability of making a comeback was almost zero.
Just when Zhou Ming was at a loss and didn't know what to do, there was no way out. The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the moon appeared again, illuminating the earth as bright as day. The filth and evil hidden in the darkness were revealed. The sin was immediately exposed.
"God has treated me well after all!" Zhou Ming sighed and continued to quicken his pace.
Soon a small black dot appeared in Zhou Ming's sight, and the small black dot gradually grew larger.
Zhou Yiming quickly judged from the movement of the small black dot and his running movements that this person was the Supreme Taoist.
The Supreme Taoist had just used a trick to get rid of Yi Ming's entanglement, then jumped out of the Peach Blossom Temple and ran northwestward, intending to quickly get back his magic weapon Tie Ruyi.
During this period, he also hesitated whether he should give up Tie Ruyi and choose to escape directly, because this boy Yi Ming always made him feel incomprehensible.
This boy looks young, probably not very old. Generally speaking, his martial arts training shouldn't be much higher, but he always doesn't follow the routine at critical moments, with a smile on his face all the time. This kind of confidence and smile are unpredictable. Every time I see this kind of smile and confidence, it makes the Supreme Taoist feel unsure.
If he were to fight Zhou Yiming with real swords and real guns, Supreme Taoist would still feel a little confident, but what he was afraid of was that Zhou Yiming would play tricks in the process, and he would be unable to guard against it.
Thinking of the possible accidents, Supreme Taoist felt a little shrinking in his heart, because if he was really defeated by Yi Ming, not only would his plan fail, but his life would also be at stake.
He didn't want to die like this. After all, he still had his family and his wife in the North Country. When he came to the Da Chu Kingdom to lurk, he had made an agreement with them. He had made bold words at the beginning, saying that he must be lurking in the country. Make a great contribution, and then return home in glory, so that your family and you can live a life of glory and wealth.
Thinking of the scene when he was separated from his family, the Supreme Taoist became even more afraid of failure. He wanted to give up the search for the magic weapon Tie Ruyi several times and sneak away directly, hiding his name from then on. When the limelight was over, he would sneak back to the north to take his family away. In that case , no matter where they wander, the family is still together.
After several hesitations, Supreme Taoist still rejected his cowardly idea. This was not because of how strong he was and how loyal he was to the North, but because he knew that if he chose to do this, he would be gone. The last road of no return.
First of all, he will anger two big countries at once. There is no place for him in the Northern Kingdom and the Great Chu Kingdom. If he wants to live an ignoble life, he can only go to the countries in the Western Regions. Whether he can do this will have to be marked by a big problem. question mark.
Secondly, if the news of his escape reaches the Northern Kingdom, his family will be immediately executed by the Northern Kingdom's court, and no one will be left alive.
Even if the supreme Taoist is greedy for life and afraid of death at the moment, he does not want to harm his family, so even if he knows that the road ahead is uncertain, he can only go to the dark side.
He only hoped that he would be lucky enough to get back his magic weapon Tie Ruyi before Zhou Ming came, and then have a big battle with Zhou Ming openly. Whether it was success or failure, let strength decide everything.
His plan had gone well. When he first jumped out of Peach Blossom Temple, he was very afraid that Zhou Yiming would immediately follow him. After all, there was an age gap between the two of them. Even if the Supreme Taoist had profound skills and extremely high martial arts cultivation, he would not be able to react when he reacted. In terms of speed and movement speed, the older person will still suffer. He is not confident that he can beat Zhou Ming in terms of speed under the same conditions.
Fortunately, Zhou Yiming did not follow him immediately, which reassured the Supreme Taoist a lot, because at such a critical moment when you are chasing after me, if you are only delayed for a moment and want to catch up with your opponent, It’s all very difficult.
Moreover, the pitch-black environment at that time greatly increased Taoist Supreme's confidence. He had already memorized the flight path of Tie Ruyi just now in his mind. He could rely on this memory to follow the map to find Tie Ruyi. Zhou Ming was there. No longer have this ability.
The supreme Taoist himself knew very well that as long as he quickened his pace and distanced himself from Yi Ming, in this dark night, even if Yi Ming jumped out later, he would not be able to find the direction to chase him.
After running wildly, a small forest appeared in front of the Supreme Taoist. He felt ecstatic because he could feel that Tie Ruyi was in this small forest.
Seeing that he was about to get his magic weapon Tie Ruyi back, but there was not even a shadow of Zhou Ming behind him, the Supreme Taoist was overjoyed. As long as he got his Tie Ruyi back as soon as possible, he would have countless more options to deal with this crisis. .
First of all, he can just take his Iron Ruyi and run away. When the time comes, even if Yi Ming goes to heaven and earth, he will never catch him again. This is a bad idea. After all, once he chooses this path, the price will be the lives of his whole family. This road should never be taken unless absolutely necessary.
There is another best option, which is to wait until you get Tie Ruyi, take advantage of Yi Ming coming out of the Taoist temple to chase him, kill everyone with a carbine, and leave no one alive in the Taohua Temple. After all the witnesses are eliminated, even if It doesn't hurt to leave Yi Ming alone to know his secret, after all, his plan can no longer proceed.
When the time comes, Yi Ming will definitely be punished by the court for his poor handling of the case. Maybe even the lives of people like Taohuaguan will be counted on Yi Ming's head. After all, these people lost their lives because he failed to catch the murderer. .
If these two accounts are calculated together, Yi Ming will definitely not be able to afford it by then. It is hard to say whether he can save his life. Anyway, his job will definitely not be saved.
Just as the supreme Taoist was happily thinking about the future, the moon suddenly appeared above his head. The sky and the earth were originally pitch black, but now it was as bright as day. This suddenly made the sense of security in his heart disappear, and he subconsciously looked back. After taking one look, I was immediately frightened.
Because he saw a familiar figure, chasing after him, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and the distance between the two people was getting shorter and shorter. If this momentum continued, it would not be half a stick. When you are fragrant, that person will catch up with you.
And this person who makes the Supreme Taoist's heart tremble is none other than Zhou Ming.
While the Supreme Taoist was panicking, he speeded up his pace and ran towards the woods. He was about to find Tie Ruyi. He would never allow himself to fail.
"Taoist thief, why are you running so fast? Are you rushing to reincarnate? Wait for me, I have something to say to you!"
While Zhou Yiming desperately chased after him, he also did not forget to use his own mental attack method.
The supreme Taoist had a psychological shadow when he heard Zhou Ming's voice. He shook his head desperately to dispel the pain and humiliation that the voice brought to him, and then dived into the woods.
While Zhou Yiming was smiling, he secretly thought that something was not right, because the woods in front of him were lush with trees, and the trees inside blocked the sky and the sun, making it difficult for the moonlight from outside to shine inside.
The Supreme Taoist rushed in resolutely and already had the upper hand. If he got Tie Ruyi again, Yi Ming would face huge risks when he entered the woods.
Amid the sea, Fang showed his true colors as a hero. Zhou Yiming did not hesitate at all in front of the grove and rushed in directly.
