When night comes, it is most silent.
A new moon hung high in the sky, spreading its broken moonlight to the ground, slightly illuminating the shadow of the car moving forward on the official road.
This is an extremely crude carriage.
The driver was as ordinary and simple as the car, without any outstanding features.
On this dark and windy night, it looked extremely inconspicuous.
This is already the border area of Youzhou.
After passing the Wumeng Mountain ahead, we arrived at the boundary of Xuandu, the capital city.
The coachman's eyes burned with a bright light that he had never seen before.
He longed for this moment more than ever.
However, as the carriage slowly approached Wumeng Mountain, there were a few pairs of eyes staring at them in the boundless darkness.
Like a group of hunters waiting patiently for their prey!
Suddenly, a cold wind blew up, and the moon became dimmer...
At the same time, on the Jingyou Road that connects Xuandu and Youzhou, the sound of a galloping horse suddenly sounded like thunder. The horse's hooves raised dust all over the sky, like a violent rush, passing through this vast ancient road, until Head towards the capital.
The first person is Xue Tianhan!
In his mind, he still recalled the scene at dusk when everyone was sorting out the case.
When everyone thought that that might be the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, Bai Fan raised an extremely critical question.
"Even so, these are just our speculations. As Brother Chen said just now, we have no actual evidence to prove that all this was done by that person. Just like we have no evidence to prove that Ling Mo killed someone."
After hearing this, everyone nodded slightly disappointedly.
But Chen Yutian, at this moment, smiled.
Everyone’s expressions changed!
"Actually, we have found the evidence that Ling Mo committed murder. However, I think that the evidence of that man's crime has been destroyed by himself..."
Hearing this, everyone who had already had hope in their hearts once again had a look of disappointment in their eyes.
"...However, although the evidence has not yet been found, there are witnesses. However, whether they can be allowed to become witnesses depends on your ability..."
With that said, Chen Yutian took out two pieces of paper from his arms.
That was what Xuantianwei found, about the whereabouts of the last two people who moved their families!
Seeing this information, Xue Tianhan and others immediately stood up from their chairs.
"Brother Xue, Brother Huo, you will immediately lead two teams of dragon guards to these two places. It depends on you whether you can produce these two witnesses."
Chen Yutian's instructions before leaving echoed in his mind. Xue Tianhan only felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. To put it bluntly, Chen Yutian's move could be said to have put the success or failure of the entire case into their hands. .
If they succeed, the entire case will hopefully be solved.
If they lose, the case will always remain an unsolved case because they can't find a shred of evidence to prove the murderer's crime!
When we know who the murderer is, if he cannot be punished because there is no evidence, that will be the worst result!
This outcome must not be allowed to happen!
Xue Tianhan secretly swore in his heart that the speed of the war horse beneath him could not help but speed up a bit under the urging of the riding whip.
Ahead, Dreamless Mountain is vaguely visible.
The moment the carriage entered Wumeng Mountain, Xing Ming suddenly felt his heart beat suddenly.
There was silence in the mountains, but he smelled a hint of crisis in the air.
Although he had retired from the world for many years and his skills were not as good as before, his spiritual sense as a warrior was still there. Xing Ming couldn't help but touch the long sword at his waist.
This was the only companion he had left when he was wandering around the world.
"Da Ming, what's wrong?" An extremely gentle female voice slowly came from the simple carriage.
Xing Ming shook his head slightly and said, "It's nothing. The weather is not very good. I'm afraid it will rain soon."
"Is it raining? It doesn't matter, I brought an umbrella." The woman in the carriage smiled faintly, and then stretched out a delicate hand from behind the curtain.
In his hand, he held a red oil-paper umbrella.
Xing Ming looked at the oil-paper umbrella and was slightly startled. Then he reached out and held the umbrella...
In his mind, he had already made up his mind.
At this moment, he saw a person.
A man in black wearing night clothes and covering his face!
This man stood in the middle of the road, looking coldly at the slowly approaching carriage in front of him across the void in front of him.
"Stop, this road is blocked!!"
The man in black flashed the sword at his waist and stopped the carriage.
Xing Ming slowly stopped the car and looked at the man in black quietly.
He could feel that this was an extremely powerful opponent, no matter the martial arts or momentum, he was no weaker than himself back then.
Then the long-lost fighting spirit burned in his eyes!
A huge wave of internal energy slowly erupted from his body, like a violent surge, sweeping through this space!
The man in black's eyes suddenly became a little strange, as if he didn't expect that the coachman actually had such a huge internal power.
But his expression didn't change at all!
Because he knew that there were more than a dozen companions behind him, and no matter how powerful the coachman in front of him was, he would not be able to get out of here alive.
This was the fate that was destined for him as soon as he stepped into this mountain!
"Why are you blocking my way?" Xing Ming gently held the handle of the knife at his waist and asked slowly.
"Didn't I say it before? This road is blocked!!" The man in black replied, his voice as cold as a knife, without a trace of emotion.
Xing Ming wondered: "This road obviously leads to the capital, why do you say this road is blocked?"
The man in black sneered, "You are wrong. For others, this road does lead to the capital, but for you and your wife, this road will never lead to the capital!"
"Oh? Not the capital? Then where could it be?" Xing Ming slowly pulled out the knife from his waist.
The man in black smiled coldly, and the moment the sword in his hand burst into flames, he spat out two cold words: "Hell!"
The next moment, the long knife flew across the air and slashed directly towards Xing Ming!
However, at this moment, Xing Ming suddenly showed an intriguing smile.
The moment this smile appeared, his body suddenly jumped away from the carriage.
Immediately, the majestic internal energy fluctuations around the carriage suddenly appeared in the void, and a layer of green divine light flowed and transformed on the carriage, turning into eight cyan shields, protecting the carriage within it and not allowing any infringement.
The man in black's eyes suddenly changed!
He finally understood that the reason why the other party said those shameless and painful words to him just now was just to delay time, so that he would have enough time to use his martial arts to protect his wife in the carriage.
Really cunning!
The man in black cursed secretly, and was about to make a move when he suddenly noticed a flash of light in front of his eyes, and a bright sword light appeared across the sky!
Seeing this scene, the man in black retreated without thinking!
But Xing Ming seemed to have expected that he would retreat, he shouted loudly, and the long knife in his hand suddenly pulled up a mysterious phantom rainbow that suddenly appeared in the sky.
Advancing and retreating, those who advanced were faster than those who retreated. When the man in black just retreated to the cliff nearby, Xing Ming's sword light had already struck directly at his face.
But there was no trace of despair on the face of the man in black. On the contrary, there was an evil smile that showed that the conspiracy was successful, slowly appeared.
Xing Ming secretly thought, "This is not good."
But it was already too late.
The moment the man in black smiled, a dozen figures suddenly rushed out from behind the cliff. Each of them had a cold light shining in their hands, exuding a cold and biting murderous aura!
In an instant, there were dozens of knives surrounding him!
Xing Ming's expression changed drastically, and he immediately understood that this was basically a game, a killing game that was completely aimed at him!
And at the moment when he was stunned, the man in black, who had been forced to a dead end, seized the opportunity, swung his sword again, and slashed at Xing Ming from the waist with one strike!
Xing Ming immediately retreated without thinking!
But the man in black did not attack again.
However, even so, Xing Ming is still in extreme danger.
Because there are dozens of knives hanging high above his head, coveting his life.
Swish…
Dense sword lights intertwined in the void, as if turning into an overwhelming killing net, losing the lives of those in front of them.
Faced with such an offensive, even Xing Ming could not withstand it.
At the moment of life and death, he did not show any despair, but smiled slightly, and then slowly stretched out his right hand.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely mysterious sound suddenly spat out from his mouth!
Immediately, under the shocking killing net, a red light swept from the carriage, fell into Xing Ming's hand, and slowly turned into an umbrella.
A red oil paper umbrella.
Immediately, the umbrella opened!
A bright red light suddenly filled the space, and even the sky was rendered red.
Bloody red!
The moment the umbrella opened, a red halo suddenly spread out around the place where Xing Ming was located. Wherever it went, even the air in the void began to escape, and the killing net in the sky became even more intense. It was shattered instantly under this bright red halo.
The eyes of those people in black changed drastically in an instant.
Because they recognized the umbrella.
Ranked fourth in the Hundred Soldiers List.
Blood umbrella, no autumn!
This weapon, which had disappeared from the world for nearly fifteen years, finally reappeared in the world at this moment.
At the same time, Xue Tianhan and others, who rode overnight from Youzhou, also arrived outside Wumeng Mountain.
Looking at the bright red light in the mountains that almost dyed the sky red, the expressions of Xue Tianhan, Ling Miaoyin and Wu Dongtian all changed!
"No, I'm late!"
As soon as the words fell, the three of them had already left their horses, turned into afterimages, and rushed towards the battlefield in the mountain.
Seeing the red oil-paper umbrella exuding scarlet light in Xing Ming's hand, the expressions of the three of them changed with awe!
"Blood Umbrella Wuqiu!"
"This umbrella actually appears here?"
The three people's surprised gazes followed the bloody umbrella and froze on Xing Ming's face.
"It seems that he should be Jing Wuming, the Beixia who suddenly retired from the world fifteen years ago," Wu Dongtian said, "People in the world thought he was dead long ago, but they didn't expect that he was actually living in seclusion in Youzhou. the lives of ordinary people."
Seeing those men in black with suspicious identities, the three of them didn't know that Jing Wuming, the Beixia holding a blood umbrella, was the target they wanted to protect during this trip.
However, thanks to the fact that he was Beixia, if it had been anyone else, he would have died at the hands of these men in black.
Not to mention testifying in court!
The three of them were surprised when they saw Wu Qiu in Jing Wuming's hand suddenly floating in the air. After circling around its body, the umbrella body suddenly closed, with the handle in front, floating horizontally on Jing Wuming's right side. .
"Ah..." Jing Wuming shouted loudly and moved forward suddenly.
At the same time, Wu Qiu's umbrella handle suddenly separated, and then, a bloody long sword one finger wide flew out of the air and landed in Jing Wuming's hand.
"Escape from the mortal world!"
A low shout, accompanied by thousands of bloody sword lights, was like the deepest terror in the night, suddenly falling in front of the man in black.
"Jueyi Duanchen! It is indeed Bei Xia Jing Wuming! I didn't expect that he is really alive!" On the side, Wu Dongtian looked overjoyed.
"It is rumored that although Wuqiu is an oil-paper umbrella, there is a peerless sword hidden inside that can cut iron as well as clay. It must be this sword!"
Xue Tianhan stared at the bloody long sword that emitted countless blood lights, with a rare fighting spirit blooming in his eyes.
"Although Wu Qiu is powerful, Bei Xia has retired from the world for many years, and his skills are no longer what they used to be. However, looking at his opponents, every move is extremely ruthless. It is obvious that he is practicing the art of killing. If things go on like this, I am afraid that this battle will end in Jing's hands. There is no doubt that you will be defeated if you lose your life!”
Ling Miaoyin looked at the battle situation and sighed slightly.
She is a descendant of the Sword Saint, and her understanding of swordsmanship has reached its peak, far beyond that of ordinary swordsmen. Therefore, at a glance, she saw the fatal weakness hidden under Jing Wuming's strong attack.
"It doesn't matter, we are still here anyway!" Wu Dongtian said easily.
Ling Miaoyin nodded slightly.
At this moment, Jing Wuming, who was in the middle of the battle, was caught off guard and was stabbed.
Although this knife did not hurt any vital parts, it caused his left arm to bleed profusely. What was even worse was that after being hit by this knife, he actually felt a heartbreaking pain, suddenly coming from his heart, as if It's like suffocating.
"Pfft..." The next moment, a mouthful of black blood suddenly spurted out from his mouth!
"Despicable... actually putting poison on the weapon!"
Jing Wuming understood what happened to him almost instantly. He never imagined that the other party would be so ruthless. Not only did more than ten people surround one of them, but they also smeared poison on the weapon with enough blood to seal his throat. , if he hadn't quickly used his inner strength to seal the spread of poison, I'm afraid he would have fallen into hell by now.
"Hmph... We are killers. We kill people, of course, by any means necessary!"
A man in black suddenly sneered, and then a dark cloud suddenly appeared with his long knife, and it went straight for Jing Wuming's head.
Even at this time, he still refused to give up the killing target!
However, at this moment, a bright sword light suddenly shot out from the slanting thorn, passing through the void, and came directly in front of Jing Wuming.
"Hmph! If you want to take his life, you have to ask this girl!"
A clear shout came out, and the sword light and sword light collided in the void.
"Ding..." A clear sound of gold and iron suddenly sounded, and the body of the man in black was seen flying directly backward.
At the same time, other people in black also saw a silhouette suddenly appearing where the sword light disappeared.
