At night, beside the official road.
Zhou Xi'er was lying on the ground, fast asleep. Not far away, Yan Sihai and Chang Sheng were sitting by the fire camp, and Chang Sheng's face turned red from the flames.
"This kid is dishonest."
Yan Sihai said.
Chang Sheng chuckled
"Not only is he dishonest, he doesn't tell the truth."
Yan Sihai Road
"You can see it."
"He said his father was a bad gambler, and he also said that his father lured a killer for him. How could a selfish man who gave birth to children just to sell them sacrifice his life for his children?"
Yan Sihai Road
"If that person looks crazy, he is a bad gambler, so he is not a lunatic."
Chang Sheng smiled and said
"Indeed, I don't think he is that man's son at all. He is just looking for a reason to follow us."
Yan Sihai asked strangely
"Then you still take him with you."
Chang Sheng frowned
"I always feel like he looks familiar."
Yan Sihai was stunned, he looked familiar?
While the two were talking, they heard something moving in the grass near the road, and Yan Sihai's eyes narrowed slightly.
In the dark night, the sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded from the grass.
The sharp arrow dragged a dark shadow through the wind and hit Chang Sheng's front door.
"Wow"
Yan Sihai grabbed the sharp arrow and threw it back with his backhand. The sharp arrow sank into the grass, only to see a black shadow leap out. The long sword in his hand reflected the light of the fire and exuded a fiery aura.
Yan Sihai stood in front of Chang Sheng, looked at the man in black with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice
"Three poisons, two knives, and one sword. You are the master of the Tiger Tower."
Chang Sheng tugged at the corner of Yan Sihai's clothes.
"You know him?"
Yan Sihai's eyes were fixed on the man in black, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't dare to be careless.
"There is a tiger tower on the twelfth floor. It is said that they only took three shots for the mission they took on. The first shot was three poisons. If one shot failed, the next one was two swords. If it still failed, it was one sword. , usually, the target cannot resist the three poisons, and there are only a few people in the world who can persist until Yi Jian is shot, and there is no one who has survived Yi Jian, so far, this poster is also called Yi Jian by people in the world."
Yijian's eyes were calm, seeming to acquiesce to Yan Sihai's statement.
"Facing the ghost doctor, the three poisons and the second sword are really embarrassing and useless."
Yan Sihai Road
"I was just about to ask you whether the disappearance of my friend Liang Gong has anything to do with you."
Yijian's eyes are cold
"Everyone on the twelfth floor performs their own duties. I can't give you this answer."
Then, a long sword reflecting the light of fire came slashing at the wind. In just a blink of an eye, the sword was in front of Yan Sihai. The sword's edge pressed against the bonfire, suppressing the originally blazing fire by half a point for no apparent reason.
"call!"
The evening breeze blew, and Yan Sihai suddenly opened his mouth, and a burst of green smoke came out of his mouth, blowing towards Yi Jian with the evening breeze.
Yi Jian's eyes were slightly pointed, and he paused in his steps. When he saw the green smoke approaching, he smiled strangely and quickly retreated. However, the sword in his hand was released and he continued to throw it forward along the trajectory.
The sand on the ground flew up when he stepped on it, separating him from the green smoke. The long sword was extremely blazing and still shot towards Yan Sihai.
In the curling green smoke, the long sword burst out of the smoke, revealing its murderous intent.
When Yan Sihai saw the long sword coming, his expression was determined, and he straightened his chest, trying to endure the sword.
"Go away!"
At this moment, childish shouts rang in his ears, and he and Chang Sheng were suddenly pushed. Just when the sword was about to hit Yan Sihai, the two of them were hit by a sudden force. Shengsheng was pushed away from the direction of the sword.
Yan Sihai and Chang Sheng fell heavily to the ground. When they raised their heads, they saw Zhou Xi'er standing where they were before. The long sword grazed the hair on Zhou Xi'er's head and whizzed past, shocking Yan Sihai. Cold sweat.
Chang Sheng ran over quickly and held Zhou Xier in his arms.
Yan Sihai stood up and looked at Yi Jian coldly. In the distance behind him, the sound of the sword falling to the ground was clear and loud.
"A sword has no sword, and now the situation is reversed."
Not only did this blow not have the full effect, but the sword in his hand was also lost, and the sword's eyes were cold.
"I will remember the shame of this time."
Before he finished speaking, Yi Jian's figure had already disappeared into the darkness.
Yan Sihai wiped the sweat from his forehead and secretly felt lucky. If the sword hadn't looked down on them too much and wanted to kill them both in one blow, I'm afraid they wouldn't have survived tonight.
He looked at Chang Sheng and Zhou Xier on the other side
"Boy, you are not afraid of death."
Zhou Xier's expression was stern, with no fear in her eyes
"When a man is born in this world, he should be full of ambition and achieve great achievements. There is no leisure to be afraid of this or that."
Yan Sihai's cloudy pupils were full of Zhou Xier's stern face. After a long time, he laughed
"Hahahaha... That's right. Children of the world, the desires in their hearts are bigger than the sky. Matters of life and death are nothing more than gossip after dinner."
Chang Sheng saw the old man and the young man talking nonsense and scolded them.
"Bah! What nonsense, go to bed quickly, we have to go on the road tomorrow."
…………
April 23
In the early morning, Chang Sheng and the others continued walking along the official road.
But since early morning, Chang Sheng has felt something strange. On both sides of the official road, the calls of different birds can be heard intermittently. No matter how far they go, they always seem to be heard nearby.
Zhou Xier naturally heard these cries. He looked at Chang Sheng
"Sister, why are there so many birds chirping today? There were none yesterday."
Chang Sheng shook his head
"I don't know either, but my brother said that the perception of birds and animals is much stronger than that of us humans. Could it be that something happened?"
Yan Sihai held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, looking like an old god, and said casually
"Who knows, maybe a giant beast will jump out later and eat us all."
Chang Sheng rolled his eyes at him and pointed to the woods beside the official road.
"In that case, why don't you go over there and explore the way."
Yan Sihai chuckled
"It doesn't matter. After yesterday, I learned to be smart. I released flying insects on both sides of the road to explore the path. There should be no danger at the moment."
Chang Shengdao
"It's just strange that this bird is suddenly so active."
Yan Sihai smiled mysteriously
"They call their own, and we go ours, as long as we don't invade each other."
While talking, far ahead, a stone tablet stood beside the road.
"It should be the Taiyang Boundary Monument."
Yan Sihai narrowed his eyes slightly and spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth.
"Seeing that the Taiyang Boundary Monument is not far from Taiyang City, we will be there in half a day."
At this time, Zhou Xier asked
"I've always had a question, why don't you ride horses all this time?"
Chang Sheng looked at Yan Sihai
"Ask him, he doesn't want to ride a horse."
Yan Sihai glanced at the two of them, and changed his previous irregularity, and his expression became serious.
"The last ten miles are probably the most dangerous."
Chang Sheng said with a smile
"We are already here, and we are still talking about whether it is dangerous or not. No matter how difficult the test is, we will always have to pass it."
Zhou Xier echoed
"that is."
Yan Sihai couldn't laugh
"Follow me closely and don't run around."
At some point, there was a mahogany box in his hand, and traces of black aura emerged from the cracks in the box.
Zhou Xi'er trembled all over, not knowing what evil thing was inside.
"Let's go."
Chang Sheng didn't care and took the lead.
Yan Sihai nodded slightly and followed quickly.
As soon as the three of them passed the Taiyang boundary monument, dozens of sharp arrows struck from the woods on both sides of the road.
Arrows suddenly arrived, and Yan Sihai opened the red wooden box in his hand. Black breath filled the air, and biting cold air burst out from the box. Chang Sheng and Zhou Xier on the side unconsciously touched their arms.
In the box, there is a piece of pitch-black ice, and black cold air is emitting from it.
The next moment, something strange happened. The black ice cube was thrown high into the sky by Yan Sihai. Under the sunlight, the ice cube shone with a strange pitch-black light. Then, the ice cube suddenly seemed to melt. It turned into a puddle of liquid, and then slowly spread in the air. After a moment, the pitch black liquid actually spread into an egg-shaped film, covering Chang Sheng and the other three people.
The random arrows hit the dark film one after another, and fell to the ground as if blocked by a solid wall.
Chang Sheng asked in surprise
"What kind of strange thing is this?"
Yan Sihai looked solemn, staring at the incoming arrows outside, not daring to relax at all. He took out another sachet from his arms.
I saw him slowly activating the sachet with his inner strength, and wisps of green smoke spread out from the sachet. After a while, it filled the entire space shrouded in black ice.
"This is black ice. In order to imitate the inner strength wall of a grandmaster, Liang Gong searched hard for several years and found this kind of black ice that can transform in the East China Sea. He made it wearable on the body. It can also be transformed into a wall of armor, but this thing is ultimately not as good as the internal strength wall that the master has cultivated. It can protect against ordinary weapons. If it encounters a master with internal strength above the Kuofu level, a palm will be enough to protect it. It was shattered.”
Chang Sheng looked at the black ice body shrouded outside and couldn't help but admire
"This Nanliang is really powerful. It can actually create an armor similar to an inner strength wall on its own. Even if it is not powerful enough, it would be scary enough if it were revealed."
Yan Sihai glanced at her
"If you are as famous as me, you are certainly not an ordinary person."
As soon as he finished speaking, the pitch-black ice body made a strange "click" sound.
Then
"Bang!"
As he spoke, a palm force destroyed the black ice body, black ice fragments fell all over the ground, and a black shadow stood quietly in front of the three people.
Yan Sihai took a closer look and saw that it was the master of the Tiger Tower from last night with a sword.
"meet again."
Yi Jian's indifferent voice sounded, and his indifferent eyes seemed to be looking at three dead people.
Then, dozens of black shadows sprang out from the woods on both sides of the official road, surrounding Chang Sheng and the other three.
Yan Sihai sneered
"This is an outpouring of enthusiasm."
A cold light flashed in Yijian's eyes, but he didn't want to talk nonsense with him. With a wave of his long sword, everyone rushed towards the three people in the middle.
But Yan Sihai looked calm. After the black ice shattered, the light green smoke shrouded in it filled the air.
Yi Jian stared at the green smoke and said calmly
"Do you want to die with us?"
Yan Sihai sneered
"It's a beautiful thought."
As he spoke, he suddenly took out a flute, and the melodious flute sound was accompanied by green smoke.
In the woods on both sides of the official road, the sound of insects suddenly came, echoing the flute.
"Wow!"
On the ground within a two-mile radius of the official road, terrifying smoke suddenly evaporated. From the east, west, north, and south, four kinds of smoke, purple, red, black, and white, hit the center!
"You caught us off guard last night. If you don't return the favor, wouldn't it be a waste of my reputation as a ghost doctor?"
As he spoke, the screams of poisonous insects and beasts could be heard all around. When Yi Jian looked around, they were already surrounded by poisonous smoke!
"This is the Ten Thousand Poison Formation that I refined using the essence of four kinds of poisonous insects and poisonous beasts. It is quite powerful. You can give it a try."
Yan Sihai's sneer echoed in the formation.
All around, Yijian's subordinates looked panicked. They had no idea that what was originally a one-sided assassination would turn into what it is now.
"Don't be afraid, let's kill them first."
Some people in the crowd were still awake and shouted directly.
The steps that everyone had stopped started to take again.
But things never go as smoothly as people imagine.
Yan Sihai's cold voice came
"Idiot, how could my Yan Sihai's poison array be so simple?"
The four-color poisonous smoke slowly condensed towards the center. The speed was definitely not comparable to the charging speed of the Hulou killer, not to mention that the poisonous smoke was already a beat slower than them.
But once the four kinds of poisonous smoke come into contact with each other and merge, the smoke suddenly disappears strangely, or in other words, turns into a transparent poisonous mist, but the poisonous mist seems to be hidden in the air, Within two seconds of being unable to breathe, the assassins covered their necks one after another, looking painful, foaming at the mouth, and fell to the ground.
"This is impossible!"
The sword was furious, and the smoke was clearly still some distance away from them, but when the four smokes merged, they suddenly merged with the air and spread to every corner of the formation at an extremely terrifying speed. With his In the eyes, one can naturally tell that although the smoke is light-colored, it is still slightly different from the air.
Yan Sihai looked at Yi Jian indifferently, but saw foam forming in the sword's mouth.
The sword was filled with unwillingness, and he drew the sword with grief and anger. Today he came out with all his strength, naturally vowing to kill Chang Sheng. Now that he was defeated, even though he knew he would die, he still wanted to support Chang Sheng.
Yan Sihai saw that Yi Jian was on the verge of death, but he was not in a hurry and did not stop him at all. He just said lightly
"If you insist on seeking death, I won't stop you."
Seeing that his long sword was about to cut Chang Sheng's neck, Yi Jian sneered and thought to himself, that old ghost Yan is so careless. I, the assassin on the 12th floor, have never missed a chance. Even if I die this time, I can complete the task. , is victory.
But seeing that Yan Sihai didn't want to stop him at all, Yijian felt inexplicably panicked. The poison in his body was constantly flaring up, but he was confident that he could seal Chang Sheng's throat with one sword, but he still had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Just when his sword was about to touch Chang Sheng's neck, he suddenly felt weak. He even felt that he couldn't hold the sword in his hand. Even if he was poisoned, it shouldn't be like this.
He looked at his hands, but was horrified to find that his hands were withered, like the hands of a mummy, and bursts of red smoke slowly floated towards Chang Sheng in front of his eyes.
"Snapped!"
He could no longer hold the sword and the sword fell heavily to the ground.
Right in front of Chang Sheng's eyes, he stopped. He stood there, but he found that he couldn't even stand. He looked at his feet, which were so thin that they looked like bones with a layer of skin on them.
On the side, a scream woke him up in confusion. Zhou Xier was looking at him with extremely frightened eyes. That was the last scene he saw in his short life.
A humanoid mummy appeared in front of Zhou Xi'er's eyes. It was none other than the owner of the Tiger Tower with a sword.
In Chang Sheng's hand, the delicate and beautiful longevity flower bud greedily absorbed the red mist floating from Yi Jian's body, which was the vitality of Yi Jian.
Chang Sheng looked at the red flower bud in his hand with a pale face, and looked at Yan Sihai tremblingly.
"Old Yan, what on earth is going on?"
At this time, scenes from the past came to mind, including the tragic deaths of the villagers by the Chijiang River and the humanoid monsters in Jiajiazhuang.
The sword in front of me is exactly the same as those people!
Yan Sihai sighed
"Your brother doesn't want to tell you, it's for your own good."
