Seven days passed in a flash.
Zhao Lin and Liang Song play hide-and-seek games with Huzi every day.
There are four gates in the southeast, northwest, and randomly appear at one of the city gates every night.
Zhao Lin relied on his extraordinary speed to always get rid of Beard's pursuit.
The Beards were scattered among the four city gates. Their number was limited, and they had to worry about the garrison in the city. They did not dare to assemble on a large scale, so they could only watch them flee.
"Damn it, let these two boys run away again!"
The mountain leopard's face was ashen, and under the light of the fire, it looked extremely ferocious.
They were almost all out tonight, but they still couldn't catch a mere two brats, causing him to be embarrassed in front of all his subordinates.
Although Zhuan Shanbao was well-known in the Paektu Mountain area, the county town was not within his sphere of influence, and even the larger gangs would not sell him much face.
It was even more impossible to go in and arrest people directly. The newly appointed county magistrate and the garrison needed his head to claim credit from above.
"Master, I don't think this is the way to go. It will damage your prestige."
Military advisor Tuo Tianliang whispered.
"I know!"
Zhuanshan Leopard had a gloomy face and called one of his men, "Send a message to Cruel Heart Pillar and ask him to kill that kid before he leaves the city!"
"Yes!" the subordinate responded loudly.
…
"Boatman, please drive the boat farther from the shore and kill two more fish."
In the Qingxi River, on the fishing boat, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes poked his head out of the cabin and said to the boatman who was rowing.
"Okay!"
The boatman shouted and rowed the boat away from the dock with great effort.
After a while, he brought the steamed fish into the cabin.
"It tastes good. I haven't eaten such delicious fish in a long time."
Zhao Lin was full of praise.
Liang Song picked up the chopsticks and said: "I'm afraid I never dreamed of the mountain leopard. We two brothers will sleep on the boat tonight."
Zhao Lin took two more bites of fish and said, "No matter how safe the place is, you can't stay there forever. The cunning rabbit still has three holes."
"Although the cellar is hidden, once you are blocked inside, there is no way to escape."
Looking at the fish in the pot, Zhao Lin suddenly had an idea: If he absorbed the soul of the fish, he would definitely become a master swimmer, and be better than the legendary Hunjianglong and Baitiao in the waves.
Unfortunately, apart from being able to escape by water, this skill has limited uses and is not worth occupying a single grid on the spirit beast map.
At dawn the next day, Zhao Lin came to Liuhemen to practice martial arts as usual.
People are more likely to unleash their physical potential under pressure. Because of the threat of the Mountain Leopard, Zhao Lin and Liang Song's skills have improved by leaps and bounds in the past few days.
Liang Song has shed his skin four times and is not far away from his fifth one.
Although this speed is not comparable to Zhao Lin, for someone who only started practicing martial arts in his late twenties, it is already quite good.
Zhao Lin's bone training progress is also very fast. When punching with all his strength, there is a faint buzzing sound between the joints, which means that he is getting closer and closer to the completion of bone training.
A few days ago, some apprentices were unconvinced when they learned that Zhao Lin had joined Zhu Huaishan's sect in advance, but they were speechless after seeing the speed of his martial arts training.
Before evening, Zhao Lin and Liang Song came to Yahang and paid the remaining money.
"Which door will you leave through today?"
After receiving the house deed, Liang Song was in a good mood and asked Zhao Lindao with a smile.
Zhao Lin thought for a while and said, "Let's go through the east gate. I went through the east gate yesterday. I'll go through the east gate again today. I hope it will be unexpected and there will be less twists and turns."
Maybe it was because he was afraid of being robbed of money, or maybe Huzi realized that the two of them were not planning to flee Qinghe County, so no one was following them today.
The people living in the eastern part of Qinghe County are dock workers, laborers and shop assistants, and most of them are poor.
Houses of different heights are clustered together, with rubbish strewn all over the place and in disarray.
At this time, it was time for dinner, and white smoke rose from the roof, but it was quiet and peaceful.
Walking through a residential street, Zhao Lin suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He frowned and looked around.
"What's wrong?" Liang Song asked in surprise.
"It doesn't feel right. Maybe no one is following me, but I feel uneasy."
Zhao Lin said unsurely.
Since absorbing the beast's spirit, he occasionally develops beast-like intuition.
Intuition is unreliable, but sometimes it is accurate, so Zhao Lin does not dare to take it lightly.
"Then be careful!"
Liang Song used to be an Orion, but he believed in his intuition more than Zhao Lin. He put his hand on the handle of the knife and turned his body to the other side.
The two of them walked forward, and when they were about to leave the residential area, they passed a dilapidated house.
From the corner of his eye, Zhao Lin saw that the door was ajar, and he felt wary.
"have……"
As soon as the words were spoken, there was a flash of cold light, and a sword as thin as a cicada's wing thrust out of the door at an incredible speed.
Zhao Lin suddenly retreated, but the opponent's strength was obviously higher than his. The sword light struck down, creating a white crack in the air.
With a hiss, it hit his left rib.
If he didn't dodge, the sword would pass through his chest.
Zhao Lin felt the qi and blood surging at the wound and could hardly control himself.
He is an aura master!
Zhao Lin once fought against Yuan Cheng and knew that the biggest difference between Qi realm and force realm is to cultivate "Qi Jin".
Qi Jin can not only increase strength, but also enhance explosive power, and when you practice to the second level of Qi Realm, your strength can be released outwards.
As the sword thrust forward, a tall and thin figure rushed out of the room. With a shake of his hand, several rays of sword light appeared, aiming at Zhao Lin's vital points.
Zhao Lin tried to pull out the ax from his waist several times, but was suppressed by the opponent's aggressive sword force.
Liang Song reacted, turned around and slashed with the knife. The tall and thin figure slashed with his backhand, and there was a "clang" sound, and the short knife fell to the ground.
Zhao Lin took a breath, knowing that the person in front of him was invincible, so he grabbed Liang Song and flew towards the direction he came from.
The man followed closely behind, his sprinting speed was no less than that of Zhao Lin, and he thrust out several swords in succession.
Zhao Lin felt the cold tip of the sword swipe across his back, and he dodged it with a narrow escape, running dozens of feet away in one breath.
Looking back, I saw the tall and thin figure standing at the entrance of the alley, looking over coldly.
Zhao Lin suddenly felt a cold feeling on his back. He touched it with his backhand and found that there was a big gash in his clothes. He couldn't help but secretly thought that it was dangerous.
"Gan!" Zhao Lin gave the man a middle finger.
The man was startled and slowly retreated into the alley, disappearing into the darkness.
"How are you?"
Zhao Lin put Liang Song down and checked the injury, and found an inch-deep wound on his arm.
"I'm lucky, I almost picked my hand tendon." Liang Song said while pinching his teeth.
"It should be from the Beard Clan. Do you know who it is?"
With that person guarding them, it was impossible for the two of them to go out through the east gate, and it was too late to change direction. Zhao Lin took out the gold wound medicine and bandaged the wounds of himself and Liang Song.
Liang Song frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Among the eight Vajras under the Mountain Leopard, two are the most capable, one is the Sky-Deep Beam, and the other is the Cruel Heart Pillar."
"Dingtianliang King Mazi is good at using heavy weapons and is very capable in charging into battle. I heard he is a strong man, but he does not match the man just now."
"The other one is the ruthless Zhu Feilong, who specializes in assassinations and kidnappings. His appearance is similar to the one just now, so he should be him."
