The east and west sides of Ponderosa Pine Valley are hillsides covered with ponderosa pine, and the north and south sides are passages.
If they were pursued closely by the black-robed guards and continued to break through the hillside, Lu Fanrou and the others would probably be caught again because they fell behind. Mu Qing remembered Ning Chu's suggestion and suddenly turned north and rushed towards the north entrance of the valley.
In addition to the black-robed guards rushing to the east, there were also smart guards who kept coming back from the east to report the situation. Zheng Shi stood in front of the tent, looked up at the rockets rising in the night sky, and remained silent for a while.
"Sir, this person can kill four third-grade peaks with a single sword energy. His strength is probably not weaker than the first-grade. Sir, please feel free to arrange help."
The guard knelt down on one knee. After speaking, he raised his head and looked behind Zheng Shi. Wei, Qu, and Wei Shang were standing at the door with guns in hand. Their strong bodies were as straight as fine iron spears. Their eyes moved slightly, but they did not respond.
The guard regretfully left, and the tent curtain opened. Murong Xiu Ming looked at Zheng Shi and said with a smile: "I heard that you and Mu Qing are not getting along very well, why don't you go and meet him for a while?"
Zheng Shi squinted his eyes, turned around and glanced at Murong Xiu Ming, "Mr. Murong, do you think I, Zheng Shi, have no brain?"
Heng Yu followed Murong Xiuming out of the tent, looked towards the direction where the rocket was rising, and said slowly: "First grade... this may be Mu Qing's true strength."
Murong Xiu Ming looked disapproving and sneered: "Father, I have speculated that he may have had great luck and got a Taoist weapon that can enhance his strength, or even a holy weapon, otherwise he could be so rampant? "
A glimmer of light flashed in Zheng Shi's eyes, and he glanced at Wei Qu and Wei Qu, "I think the two brothers are eager to fight. Master Murong, why don't you let them go and test Mu Qing's true strength?"
Hengyu quickly refused: "No, the mission of Wei Qu brothers has been completed. They only need to protect Xiu Ming's safety."
Zheng Shi sighed, "If he couldn't do anything when he saw something happened, and left all the burdens behind him and left alone, it would be a pity for the master's plan."
Murong Xiu Ming sneered, "A person like him would leave them alone?"
Several people looked at the night sky almost at the same time. When they saw the direction of the rocket rising, it turned and headed north. Murong Xiuming laughed loudly, "This is really looking for death."
Just now, he was complaining about why Zhuque and Xuanwu didn't take action as soon as possible. Murong Xiuming now looked calm and calm, "Let's go north to see him off."
The night wind whistled on her cheeks. Lu Fanrou was held up by Mu Qing's forearm and ran all the way north. Her hair was messy and she didn't have time to straighten it. She looked at the rocket rising again in the night sky above her head and sighed: "I was still discovered."
"It doesn't matter." Mu Qing slowed down slightly and waited for the three masters and apprentices of Huai Cao Shi to catch up, then said softly: "It is night now, and there are more of them, so they are not as flexible as us."
As long as they are not surrounded by them, a small number of people can be an advantage. Huai Cao Shi nodded slightly, listened to the movement that followed, and said: "It has been stretched for nearly a mile, we'd better rush out in one go."
In order to give the people behind him some time to breathe, Mu Qing ran slower and pointed forward, "After exiting the valley entrance in front, we will run to the northeast."
Huai Cao Shi looked in the direction of Mu Qing's finger. A hundred feet away, there were mountain cliffs guarding her. The moonlight stacked up and the empty valley mouth was filled with moonlight, like a silver mirror falling on the ground. She couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.
"I remember there was a swamp forest northeast of Ponderosa Valley. It was a shortcut."
Mu Qing nodded. At this time, there was already a smile on his face and said: "Senior sister and I planned to take this shortcut. She should be waiting for us outside the valley entrance at this time."
Huai Caoshi's face was startled when he looked back, pointing to the tent near the entrance of the valley, frowning with caution on his face, "They haven't taken action yet, they are probably waiting for us in front."
Mu Qing knew that the Huai Cao poem was talking about Zheng Shi's people, so he pondered for a moment, "Uncle Master, if they are all waiting in front, I will stop them, and you can rush out of the valley mouth first."
Huai Cao Shi looked at him suddenly, her brows furrowing tighter and tighter.
The man pursed his lips, his eyes full of determination.
After a moment of stalemate, Huai Cao Shi sighed helplessly and said softly: "You have to be careful."
Mu Qing smiled widely, and the firm facial lines that appeared under Huai Cao Shi's serious gaze were brought back to their original shape, regaining some youthfulness, "I heard from my senior sister that Zheng Shi has a defense that is not weak to the first grade. I happened to be in front of him." Try two more swords on me."
The corners of Huai Caoshi's lips curled up slightly, but he warned again: "Don't be obsessed with fighting."
Mu Qing nodded repeatedly and assured, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll follow you as soon as you leave the valley entrance. I will never forget the business."
Huai Caoshi opened his mouth, and just as he was about to say thanks, Mu Qing shook his head repeatedly in uncertainty, and the corner of his eye just caught Bai Jiahe looking back.
Mu Qing knew what was going on, but after learning what Bai Jianwen had done from Senior Sister Ning, he really didn't have a good impression of this person. After thinking about it, he didn't know how to speak.
Huai Caoshi suddenly said, "As long as the Hidden Valley plan is still there, Jianwen will be safer than any of us."
Bai Jiahe frowned and said, "Master... I'm a little worried that Jianwen will be taken advantage of by that woman Zhang Shanshan."
Xu Zuo scratched his head. He didn't say anything unhappy when he said this: "That day when we came to see Jianwen, this woman prepared the meal. But Jianwen said she had some difficulties... How can a man be trapped by love?"
"Well... I didn't say anything."
Not only did Lu Fanrou glare at him, but his master and junior sister also looked at him lightly, and Xu Zuo quickly shut up.
Mu Qing cast a pity look at Xu Zuo and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm not trapped by love, but confused by love."
Huai Cao Shi said indifferently: "Wishful thinking is love. Wishful thinking or a trick by the Americans is cheating and being cheated."
The two men in the field did not dare to speak any more. The sound of wind passed through the silent crowd, and the distance of dozens of feet was quickly crossed. Mu Qing listened to the increasing sound of chasing behind him, narrowed his eyes and said: "I didn't expect them. Reacted so quickly.”
The night wind blew behind them, and chaotic and noisy voices rushed towards Mu Qing and the others.
The lit pine oil torch dragged out fire dragons of different lengths. The dragon heads were all pointing towards the mouth of the valley in the north. Mu Qing and the others were like Li Zhu being chased endlessly.
"If it were me and them, they would chase them even harder and rush out without any time to rest."
Huai Cao Shi took the initiative to speed up and rushed towards the mouth of the valley first.
Mu Qing picked up Lu Fanrou and immediately followed him. Not long after he became the leader again, two people suddenly rushed out of the diagonal stab.
The two brothers Wei Qu and Wei Shang blocked Mu Qing with guns. Behind them was the tent ten feet away, and further away was the mouth of the valley.
"Give it to me." Huai Cao Shi's voice sounded behind Mu Qing.
Mu Qing's leaping movement was choked, turning from extreme movement to extreme stillness. Huai Cao Shi happened to be shoulder to shoulder with him, stretching out his hands.
In just a moment, Mu Qing turned sideways slightly, and Huai Cao Shi took Lu Fanrou into her arms. Her eyes were bright, she lowered her jaw towards Mu Qing, and rushed forward without any hesitation.
"Be careful!" Xu Zuo and Bai Jiahe followed closely and passed by Mu Qing.
Mu Qing nodded, stopped in place, squinted at the two brothers blocking the road, Ling Lie's momentum was about to be released, Wei Qu and Wei Shang clenched the iron guns in their hands, and at this moment did not even make any move to stop Huai Cao Shi their thoughts.
When Bai Jiahe, who was behind Huai Cao Shi, also passed Wei Qu and the other two, Mu Qing moved. In just a blink of an eye, Mu Qing came to Wei Qu. He didn't care at all whether he got into the gun range of the two. Within the range, hold the dagger in your hand and stab forward simply and cleanly.
"Brother!" Wei Shang had already stood behind Wei Qu. When he saw Mu Qing stabbing him with his sword, he couldn't help but shout.
Wei Qu's face tightened, he pursed his lips and snorted softly. Before Mu Qing stabbed him in the face, Kankan blocked the tip of the sword with his spear.
"Ding--"
The tip of the sword hit the gun body made of fine iron, making a clear shudder, and then there was a loud collision of energy. The blue sword energy broke through the gun gang that formed a silver belt in an instant. Wei Qu His eyes were wide open, his face was pale and full of shock, but he didn't expect that his defense could be broken through with such an understatement.
Seeing that the sword energy was about to sweep towards Wei Qu's face, Wei Shang, who was standing behind him, let out a loud shout, drew his spear and stabbed it, and the spear head condensed with the silver spear instantly hit the blue sword energy.
"boom--"
The hot blue sword energy collided with the silver spearhead at the fastest speed, and the energy spattered crazily a foot in front of the Wei curved door, causing his beard and hair to become messy, and some of the hair on his forehead might even become scorched and curled. He was so frightened that he couldn't help but put his elbows on Wei Shang's waist.
The two brothers have been fighting together for many years and have already known each other. After Wei Shang blocked the sword energy for a moment, he immediately withdrew the gun body and took three steps back. Wei Qu followed suit and stepped back. He let out a loud shout, veins popped out on his temples, and he held the gun body with both hands. The true energy surged out wildly, making a spear dance airtight.
The silver spear was like a silver mirror that was constantly rotating. Mu Qing's sword energy, which was not weaker than a first-grade sword, hit the silver mirror and made a "crackling" sound, but was partially wasted.
Mu Qing's eyes turned cold. These two people should be the masters with guns that the senior sister mentioned. Their defensive marksmanship was really good.
However, Mu Qing did not intend to give them a chance to rotate again. Just when Wei Qu's spear dance movement was about to begin, Mu Qing raised his sword in front, and his true energy surged into the sword like crazy. When Wei Qu stopped his movements, Wei Shang thought It's time to use up the rest of the sword energy again.
A crimson sword energy has been directed at the two brothers.
"Oh shit!"
The two brothers retreated and took action at the same time, almost consuming all the blue sword energy. Feeling the crimson sword energy coming towards them, they felt despair. Finally, they all looked at the tent ten feet away behind them. .
The girls in Huai Cao Shi happened to cross the tent and were running towards the mouth of the valley.
Mu Qing had already stopped his hand at this time and just looked around, feeling relieved.
"ah!!!"
Recalling the screams, the spear fell to the ground, and Wei Qu and Wei Shang also fell to the ground. They held their heads and twisted their bodies.
Li Huo Po Ling targeted the spiritual fetus. The previous third-level sword cultivators were lucky enough to be killed by the hot property of the sword energy. However, these two people were not so lucky.
