At the critical moment, Huoping jumped up from the side and knocked the woman away. The woman was angry and swiped her sword back. Huo Ping ran away as smooth as a loach.
The woman wanted to fight back, and Huoping said with a smile: "Today we are one against two, are you still sure of winning?"
The beauty's eyes flashed, and she finally sheathed the sword reluctantly, "My sister, Luo Yun, will not avenge her great revenge. I, Luo Yun, am arrogant. I will save the life of this unscrupulous person for today, and we will see you again someday."
Luo Yun stepped away and Duanmu Yunyang smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect Yu'er to have a sister? It's only natural that she wants to take my life."
"Young master, please don't talk about life and death lightly. I will swear to death to keep you safe. Also, what are you looking for? I will give you my best help."
Yun Yang stretched out his sleeves and responded coldly: "Why should I tell you? If I tell you, it will be like telling the people in the city, and I will bring trouble to myself. You should think about how to deal with the city lord's 'mind-reading' technique!"
I went to work again in the evening and everything was calm. Huoping handed over the tasks and gave daily instructions as usual, and then let his men disperse. He huddled under the eaves of a roof, took out a book from his arms, and read it carefully under the dim light.
At this time, two guards were patrolling here. When they saw this, they smiled and said: "The leader is so elegant. If you stay up late and study at night, you will definitely be the top scholar in high school and honor your ancestors."
"Stop being so glib and be smart, don't miss the point!" Huo Ping scolded in a low voice with a fierce face. The two daredevils stuck out their tongues in fright and left in a hurry.
Hoping put away the pamphlet, thoughtfully. Looking up, the moon hangs diagonally like a silver hook, and the long night has just begun. He wanted to take a short trip to the secret base and rest for a while.
Just as he started to take steps, suddenly a white light flashed in front of his eyes, like a shooting star, heading straight for the Yin-Yang Bridge. Huoping reacted extremely quickly and flew in pursuit. He passed through the pavilions and waterside pavilions and was about to reach the bridge in the blink of an eye. The guards guarding the bridge also noticed something strange. They raised their halberds and emitted a strong energy barrier, and the white stream of light was bounced away.
Having learned the lesson from last time, Huoping did not dare to get closer and shouted from a distance: "What is it?"
The guard replied: "All I saw was a ball of white snow, which bounced off and disappeared into the night sky."
Huoping flew away and jumped several times to stand on the top of the "Meditation Pavilion", which is a higher place in the inner city where he can have a bird's eye view of the whole situation.
Sure enough, it was a white light spot in the west corridor, hidden in the grass, slowly moving. Huo Fei hurried over and carefully pulled away the grass with the tip of his sword, revealing a pair of cute big eyes. For a moment, his heart seemed to melt.
At this time, two guards came over and asked loudly: "Chief, what did you find?"
Huoping covered himself with green grass and replied: "Everything is normal here. You go to the 'Wuying Lake' to the west to check."
The guards left in a hurry, and Huo Ping opened the grass again. The snow-white puppy was still lying inside, with frightened and exhausted eyes. Huoping carefully held it in his arms and comforted it with his body temperature, "What a cute puppy. You have to be good and let others find out, but you will die!"
He quietly brought the puppy back to the secret base and found water and dry food. The puppy regained its strength after eating and gently rubbed his palm with its head. Huoping smiled and said, "You and I are really destined to give you a name. Just call it 'Xiao Bai'..."
At the mention of this name, his heart ached inexplicably, and a sadness surged into his heart. He held Xiaobai in his chest, "I will definitely take good care of you!"
When the moon rose, Huoping came out of the secret base and inspected a circle first, from the outer "Shadowless Lake", Luoyu Forest to the "Meditation Pavilion", and finally to the Qu River. He saw the blue stars in the water forming a line. The ribbons float, appearing and disappearing. Tracing its source, it still overflowed from that pipe. Huoping observed that the direction in which the pipe extended was leading to the center of the inner city - "Yufeng Pavilion".
That is the palace of the city lord, with the highest terrain and majestic uprightness. The building is about a hundred feet tall, with carved beams and painted roofs, high eaves, and a towering outline like a mountain peak. Compared with it, the shadow of the moon is much smaller.
In the past, when Huo Ping saw this forbidding place, he felt both admiration and fear from the bottom of his heart, but now his curiosity easily took over. Seeing no one around, he followed the direction of the pipe and crouched down until he was under the "Wind Wind Pavilion".
He quickly hid behind a clump of plantains and looked up. The lights upstairs were still on. After a moment's hesitation, he cast a spell and passed through the wall silently. Inside was a living room, dimly lit by candlelight and empty. There was probably a secret room below, where the pipes should be.
Hoping walked across the floor, and there was indeed a secret room below. A long tunnel led to the depths of darkness. The pipe must be hidden in a corner. He was about to inspect it carefully when suddenly a sigh came from deep in the corridor. The voice was hoarse and low, as if coming from the depths of hell, making people's scalp numb and chilly.
He hesitated for a moment and was about to move on when suddenly there was a sharp whistling sound outside, followed by cluttered footsteps and noises. His nerves immediately became tense, something must have happened.
He returned to the ground, and the outer city was in chaos with screaming arrows everywhere. A guard rushed to report, "Chief, someone has invaded the outer city. The guards can't stop it. Third brother and fifth brother went to meet the enemy."
What kind of enemy actually needs to dispatch two senior brothers? It seems like a big scene. Huoping arranged for all the guards to be on high alert, and then flew into Luoyu Forest, which was the closest to the outer city and was an excellent place to watch the battle.
There are two men in black fighting with their senior brothers in the outer city. One group is farther away. The outline is that of the fifth senior brother Feng Lingwei. He uses a dark halberd and opens and closes it. The evil wind and ghosts weep, forcing the men in black to fight. Back away.
This group is right in front of you. It is the third senior brother Xiang Chi, holding a blue ghost-headed staff, majestic. The two of them galloped like the wind on the roof, passing a few moves in the blink of an eye, and then suddenly separated, facing each other under the moon, and their conversation could be heard.
"Looking at your skill, you shouldn't be a rooster or a dog thief. If you tell me the name of your sect, the nameless ghost in Shuangye City will be immortal." The third senior brother is tall and tall, with beard and hair facing the wind, full of momentum.
The man in black lowered his voice, "I don't mean any harm. Please get out of the way. Shuangye City is in danger now."
Xiang Chi shook his sleeves and sent out a wisp of wind like a knife, "It's really inexplicable. He sneaked in with his face covered, either raped or stolen. I think you are the most dangerous."
Even though the man muffled the noise, Hopping knew his identity.
Xiang Chi unfolded his staff, and countless black energy overflowed, like thousands of snakes swarming, rushing towards his face. The man's sword shadows shot out, cutting off the black energy, and then dispersed.
The third senior brother was surprised, "You actually came from behind and defeated my 'Ten Thousand Ghost Hands'. Who are you?"
The man didn't answer and flew forward to break out from the side. Xiang Chi raised his hand and sent out a thunder net to block the way.
Huo Ping looked sideways and saw that the battle situation on the other side was tense. Fifth senior brother Feng Lingwei had the upper hand. His halberd swept away the fallen leaves like a strong wind, forcing the man in black to the edge of the "Shadowless Lake", with no way to retreat.
Xiang Chi sneered, "I was worried about your accomplice, but it's a pity that he can't survive ten moves and will definitely be killed by the 'Crazy Halberd'!"
The man in black by the lake had no way to go. He stretched out his sword in the wind, shaped like a curved bow, and shot out an arc of light with a sound like a dragon's roar. Feng Lingqi retreated quickly, and slashed with his "Crazy Halberd", creating a strong wind that collided with it. The man in black was unable to do anything, and was hit in the chest, falling into the lake.
The fifth brother roared loudly, his halberd whirled, and a tornado blew up. The lake exploded, and a water dragon rose up, shaped like a giant hand, and grasped the man in black.
Xiang Chi said coldly: "It turns out to be Quan Qingguan's 'Yin Yu', but unfortunately his skills are superficial and not worth mentioning. Today we are enemies on a narrow road. There is no return, so I will destroy you all together!"
He used his full strength, the light of his staff shone brightly, and countless thunderbolts were woven into a dense net and fell from the sky. The man's sword light exploded, splitting the thunder net, and ran away. Xiang Chi had already guessed his intention and flew to block him, forcing him back.
Huo Ping could see clearly that the third brother did not try his best and only used fighting to trap his opponent. After capturing his accomplice, they would then join forces to kill him.
Of course, the man in black also knew his intentions, and he was unable to escape because he was fighting from left to right. Huo Ping sighed inwardly, the young master has always acted prudently, why did he commit the taboo of rushing in today?
He jumped up from the tree crown and shouted at the same time: "Third senior brother, don't worry, Huoping will help you!"
He flew over and pressed his long sword against his head, leaving a gap in his back. Xiang Chi threw the rat weapon and did not dare to make any more moves, cursing in his heart this idiot who had done bad things.
The man in black seized the opportunity and knocked Huoping away with force. His body was like a kite with broken strings, and he fell straight into Xiang Chi's arms. Xiang Chi rolled up his sleeves and turned to look again. His opponent had already fled away.
In the lightning flash, the man in black flew through the air, cut off the water dragon with his sword, and took his companion into his arms. Feng Lingqi punched him hard with a black wind, hitting his back. The man took advantage of the situation and stood up, flying into the distance like a stream of light.
Xiang Chi stamped his feet, beat his chest, and pointed at Huoping, "You idiot, you rushed forward in a hurry and let the thief escape. I will take you and punish him!"
Huo Ping was disgraced from the fall, and said with a sad face: "Third Senior Brother, I saw that you have been unable to attack for a long time, so I just want to come and help."
Feng Lingqi also advised: "Forget it, Third Senior Brother, that person was hit by my 'Sangmen Fist' and can't escape far. Chase him quickly, maybe he can be saved!"
Xiang Chi was furious and had no choice but to say something at the last moment: "I'll take care of you when I'm done!" He and Feng Lingqi flew after him, while Huo Ping dusted off the dust on his body and took four steps forward, feeling very proud of himself.
At this moment, there was a sigh in my ears. I looked up and saw someone standing with arms folded at the top of the "Meditation Pavilion". The bright moon was reflected behind him, and the breeze ruffled his hair, just like an immortal.
When encountering this god of plague, Huoping just wanted to sneak away quietly. Duanmu Jinxiu waved to him gently, motioning for him to come up. Huoping gritted his teeth, flew up, and stood on the eaves.
"This place is more than ten feet away from the Quhe River. It's condescending. Add in the ten successful powers of my 'Soul-Searching Palm'. What effect do you think it will have?"
Monk Huo Ping Zhanger was confused, and Nuonuo said: "Miss, your subordinates don't understand what you said!"
Duanmu Jinxiu's eyes were sharp and cold, "You just used yourself as a human shield to cover the thieves' escape. If you don't tell the truth, I will knock you into the Quhe River with one palm, and no bones will be left."
Huo Ping shouted that he was wronged, "Miss, I am only eager to do meritorious deeds, and good things turn out to be bad things, but my subordinates have absolutely no different intentions, and heaven and earth can learn from this!"
The young lady raised her eyebrows with a murderous look, "You are still trying to be clever, if you don't recruit me from the truth, you will be completely destroyed." The edges of her palms were snow-white, and the cold air penetrated into the bone marrow. Huo Ping naturally knew the power of Duanmu's "Soul-Searching Palm" , his head spun ten thousand times, and he decided to fight to the end, so he shouted: "Young lady is wronged!"
Duanmu Jinxiu's figure moved, like a ghost flashing, and his palm reached Huoping's chest...
