Zhuang Xiuyu followed the two men carrying the corpse for a long distance until she saw that the trees in front of her were starting to become sparse.

But as she walked forward, she could see some chopped tree stumps on the side of the road. She looked around with some fear. The field of vision here was not as narrow as before. If she was not careful, she might be hit by those two. people discovered.

She deliberately slowed down her speed and put some distance between herself and the two people, so that she would be more difficult to detect at this critical moment.

But the further she walked, the more she felt that something was wrong. There were already pieces of chopped wood piles in front of her. When they got here, the speed of the two people in front of them also slowed down.

It seems to be coming soon, Zhuang Xiuyu thought.

She hid behind a big tree and poked her head out to see what the two people were doing.

I saw the two people standing among a large group of chopped tree stumps, looking around.

"That's it."

one of them said.

"Well, tell someone to bring the things over."

A loud whistle was heard in the forest, frightening Zhuang Xiuyu, but she accidentally stepped on a branch nearby.

"Crack!"

"who!"

The two people suddenly said in shock, Zhuang Xiuyu secretly scolded himself for being stupid.

But there was no time to regret at this moment. She took a deep breath and suddenly sprang out from behind the tree. At this time, she had already held the red bow in her hand and took an arrow on the string with her other hand.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow's feathers were light and fast, and it hit one of them directly in the face. The man was startled, but after all, he was a murderer without any intention of killing, and he immediately reacted.

His Qinggong was not very good, but his reflexes were not bad. Zhuang Xiuyu's cold arrow suddenly arrived, and he covered his face with the bones in his hands.

"Click!"

The arrow feathers are inserted into the intricate skeleton, making it difficult to advance.

Zhuang Xiuyu's face was cold, and the second arrow was already placed on the red bow, and the lotus arm emitted a light as light as thin jade.

The other person sneered.

"A little girl with a jade-like appearance."

Immediately, he put down the corpse in his hands, holding two flying knives in his palms.

"Whizzing!"

The flying knives left her hand as fast as the wind. Zhuang Xiuyu's eyes were completely occupied by the two flying knives. She quickly put away her red bow and rolled to one side to avoid it, but the two flying knives were so fast that she didn't even notice them. She had learned Qing Kung Fu, and to make matters worse, she still carried the heavy arrow box on her back.

"Stab it!"

She narrowly avoided the first knife, but the second knife still cut open her sleeve, and bright red blood flowed down her arm.

At this moment, another person had already come forward, and the soft sword in his hand was heading towards Zhuang Xiuyu's neck.

Zhuang Xiuyu frowned, her eyes filled with the will to die. She closed her eyes resolutely. It was hard for her to defeat either of these two people. Now that the two of them joined forces, she had no way out.

It must be painful to be killed, right? Zhuang Xiuyu was thinking at this moment.

But she waited for a long time, and the expected sword still didn't come.

"Well!"

A muffled groan woke her up. She opened her eyes, only to see the killer holding a soft sword in front of her staring at her blankly. A bright red blood mark slowly appeared on her neck. After a moment, he fell down.

After he fell, Zhuang Xiuyu saw a swordsman dressed in white with his back to her. In the distance, another killer looked at the swordsman with a horrified expression.

After two breaths, he dropped the body and ran away for his life.

The swordsman flicked the long sword in his hand, and from ten feet away, the sword penetrated the assassin's body.

I saw the elegant swordsman in white turned his head, smiled and stretched out his hand

"Are you OK?"

Zhuang Xiuyu was stunned for a moment and looked at the man in front of him, as if he had seen him before.

"Big brother!"

The man was stunned and said

"Girl, have I seen you?"

Zhuang Xiuyu hugged the man's hand excitedly

"Brother, my husband is your good friend. Three years ago, you came to the Chang family."

The man was Wan Chaoyang who had been waiting for Chang An for several days in the black coffin forest.

Wan Chaoyang also reacted immediately.

"You are one of those children brought back by Brother Chang An."

"You've grown so big."

Wan Chaoyang touched Zhuang Xiuyu's head, looking dazed.

"Where's Brother Chang An, why aren't you with him?"

Zhuang Xiuyu's face darkened, and she told Wan Chaoyang everything about Chang An.

Wan Chaoyang smiled and said

"Don't worry, Brother Chang An can even kill the Sword God, and he will be trapped by a mere cliff. He will come up in a few days."

Zhuang Xiuyu looked at Wan Chaoyang's open-minded expression, and her restless heart calmed down.

"Brother Wan, why are you here?"

Wan Chaoyang looked weird

"I wasn't tricked by your husband. I stayed in this ghost place for a day and a night, and finally today I saw a man in black running into the woods carrying a corpse."

Zhuang Xiuyu said

"I saw it too."

Wan Chaoyang nodded and said

"I just saw you, a girl, running to the place where the man hid the body. I originally wanted to follow the man in black, but it turned out that the man in black was very good at qinggong. I couldn't bear to worry about you, a girl, so I followed you. All the way here.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xiuyu led Wan Chaoyang to among the chopped tree stumps.

"what have you found?"

Wan Chaoyang asked doubtfully.

Zhuang Xiuyu pointed to these tree stumps and said

"Brother Wan, look, these tree stumps seem to be grouped together into seven groups."

Wan Chaoyang looked startled and looked intently. After a moment,

"Sure enough, and..."

He looked around and found a tall tree. He jumped up to the tree and looked down from a high place. He lost his voice and said:

"Big Dipper!"

Zhuang Xiuyu shouted

"Brother Wan, what did you see?"

Wan Chaoyang was so excited that he jumped down and said in a deep voice:

"These tree stumps are arranged in groups of seven, and in groups of seven, actually arranged in the manner of the Big Dipper."

Zhuang Xiu Jade Way

"These are exactly seven corpses."

At this moment, in the forest in the distance, the sound of footsteps came, Wan Chaoyang's expression changed, he grabbed Zhuang Xiuyu, and the two of them jumped into the tree together.

Soon after, a dozen killers carried several rootless tree trunks and slowly walked to these tree stumps. They saw the two killers who died here, looking panicked.

"what happened?"

The leader of the killer looked gloomy and growled.

"Has anyone been discovered here?"

Another killer said.

"These two people sent a signal. We have only been here for a moment, but they are already dead. It seems that they are being followed."

The leader looked shocked

"No, if that person is still here, wouldn't we have been exposed?"

Immediately, he looked around warily and shouted in a low voice

"Disperse and retreat."

After listening to the order, those people fled and hid in the woods.

Zhuang Xiuyu pulled the corner of Wan Chaoyang's clothes and pointed at the leading killer.

"Brother Wan, why don't you follow that killer."

Wan Chaoyang said worriedly

"What about you."

Zhuang Xiuyu smiled and said

"I'll stay on this road and won't run around. Go quickly. This is a good opportunity to find their den."

Wan Chaoyang hesitated for a moment and then made a decision.

"Well, stay here and don't run around."

With that said, he grabbed Zhuang Xiuyu and jumped down from the tree, then used Qinggong to catch up with the leading assassin.

…………

Brother Qiang hooked Chang An, and the two of them walked slowly along the street.

"Xiao Yanzi, you strong brother, I will help you gain knowledge today."

Brother Qiang's nostrils were turned upward, looking proud.

Chang An pretended to be surprised

"Really, Brother Qiang?"

Brother Qiang said

"That's right, don't look at the low-level assassins on the outside, but there are some secrets inside."

As they said that, the two of them came to a stall. There was a middle-aged man sitting at the table. There was nothing on the table except an abacus.

"What is this for?"

Chang An asked.

Brother Qiang smiled and patted Chang An on the shoulder, and sat at the middle-aged man's table.

"How many goods have been added this month?"

Brother Qiang glanced into the distance.

The middle-aged man saw the sign on Brother Qiang's waist and immediately became respectful.

"Not much. News came from above that although the village was massacred, the source was cut off. Progress has been very slow this month."

Brother Qiang frowned

"So difficult?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said

"The news from the higher ups is that since Chang An came out of confinement, the higher ups are planning to cut off his arms to survive, for fear that the guy will see the signs."

Brother Qiang said

"This has smoothed the score, but the above was too cautious."

The middle-aged man said

"You have to be careful. Chang An almost saw through the poster's plan in Liangzhou. Chang Sheng went to Taiyang City and killed two posters. He almost overturned the chessboard that had been laid out for two years. Fortunately, Chang Sheng is still a little immature, otherwise, that main soul will never return to its throne."

Brother Qiang nodded slightly

"Chang'an is indeed tricky, but we still have to pay attention to the matter of the forest sacrifice. The main altar area has been busy recently, and the black coffin forest has recently received a large batch of goods due to the incident in Liangzhou. I'm afraid it will be over soon. We can’t hold back here.”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.

"We are just a settler, what can we do?"

Brother Qiang waved his hand

"gone."

With that said, he pulled Chang An away from the stall.

Chang An asked

"Brother Qiang, what is that place for?"

Brother Qiang smiled mysteriously

"That guy, there are very few people here who can settle accounts. We are all a group of killers. It's not easy to find someone who can settle accounts."

Chang An asked

"A settler? What kind of settler do we want here?"

Brother Qiang spreads his hands

"It's not that bad. We are all rough guys here. We can't count more than one finger."

While they were wondering, the two of them had already reached the end of the residential area. The front was dark and there seemed to be no light. Chang An looked intently, but he couldn't see clearly.

"stop!"

Two senior patrollers with forest sacrificial belt badges on their bodies stopped the two of them.

Brother Qiang looked ugly and pointed at the badge on his waist. Seeing this, the two of them looked at each other.

"You can come in, but he can't."

One of them pointed at Chang An and said.

Brother Qiang patted Chang An on the shoulder

"Okay, brother, send it here. Brother Qiang has to go do some business. Brother Qiang will come back to see you when he has time."

With that said, he walked into the sacrificial forest coolly.

Chang An also left here with a smile on his face.

About four or five hours later, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. Chang An saw a few patrollers extinguishing the lights in the residential area.

Then, the patrollers drove back the residents who were still on the street. Chang An looked calm and found a cover to hide.

After a while, there was no one else on the street except the patrollers.

There were many low-level patrollers, about hundreds of them. At this moment, the street was silent except for the low-level patrollers carrying human skin lanterns and patrolling back and forth.

Chang An slowly walked out. In the darkness, his cold eyes seemed to penetrate everything.

Holding the long sword in his hand, he slowly walked up to several patrollers.

"who!"

The patrollers seemed to have seen the people in front of them and immediately became alert.

But the next moment, there was only a muffled "bang" sound in front of them, and before they could even react, Chang An's sword had already cut their necks.

Several streaks of blood flew in the air and splashed on Chang An's face. At this moment, Chang An was like a cold-blooded demon, searching for other prey.

The Wuhen Qing Kung Fu made him look more like a killer than these killers in such a dark night. He walked through the streets, constantly searching for the patrollers.

More and more corpses appeared on the street. For an entire hour, blood splattered on Chang An's face. He fought all the way from the street to the end of the street. Behind him was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and the ground was covered with broken limbs and arms.

"Stop! Who is it!"

The two senior patrollers from before saw Chang An and shouted loudly.

But what greeted them was Chang An's sword. The flying sword flew across the sky and pierced one of them. Then, when the other person ran away in fear, the flying sword that flew away suddenly made a big turn, turned around and stabbed again. There was only one person left.

Then, the sword returned to Chang An's hands like a spirit.

Yan returns to the nest, a stunt that made the Sword Sect famous in the past. Unfortunately, in the world today, the only people who can master this skill are the disciples of the Sword Sect, Chang An and Mo Bei.

Chang An had a cold face, looked at the darkness in front of him, and walked in slowly.

In the sacrificial forest, the terrifying smell of blood assaulted the nostrils. Even people like Chang An couldn't help but frown when smelling the smell of blood.

He gradually went deeper, but his eyes were still dark.

This is a forest, but it is not constantly dense, and the trees are not tall. On the contrary, they are all small trees.

But Chang An felt vaguely that something was wrong.

The whole forest seemed to be in a gray fog, and nothing could be seen clearly.

But he still felt something was wrong with those trees. He seemed to be able to feel that the smell of blood was coming from certain trees.

He slowly approached the tree closest to him, but gradually he saw that there seemed to be something on the side of the tree.

He felt more and more something was wrong, so he continued to get closer to the tree, and the scene in front of him became clearer and clearer. Until he was completely under the tree, and when he could really see everything clearly, the killing intent burst out in his eyes, and he clenched his hands tightly. Sword, I can't wait to turn back and kill those people again!

In front of me, there is a small tree. On the branches of the small tree, there is a thread, and underneath the thread, there is a bloody human head hanging!

He quickly ran into the forest and kept walking through the forest. He unexpectedly discovered that there was a human head hanging next to every tree. Some had weathered into skeletons, and some still had carrion that had not completely fallen off.

After a while, he stopped. There seemed to be endless anger in his chest, and his eyes were about to burst out with fire.

At this moment, he was actually in a forest composed entirely of human heads!

These trees are actually just used to hang human heads!

he shouted

"Come here and die!"
