"I was mistaken, but he is still a master." The strong man in black smiled solemnly.
"When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. We have no hatred or grudges, so why not stop and retreat." Chen Mu put away his smile and said calmly.
The strong man frowned slightly and glanced at Xiaodong Mountain not far away from the corner of his eye.
Just now Lu Jin desperately shot a loud arrow.
He suspected that this was the communication code between Lu Jin and Qingfeng Guan.
"Can't stay here too long!"
Thinking of this, the strong man took two steps forward: "If you inform the Yamen afterwards and bite me back, wouldn't there be endless troubles?"
Chen Mu heard the other party's hesitation and immediately increased his persuasion: "We don't know each other, how can we have a grudge for nothing."
"Even if someone comes to me to inquire about you later, the information I can give is only the direction in which you left."
Chen Mu took two steps closer and whispered: "After crossing the bridge, you have countless paths to choose from. The information I give may even become misleading."
The strong man immediately moved and put the knife in his left hand back into the sheath on his waist. Holding the knife with only his right hand, he stepped forward and pointed sideways at Chen Mu: "A gentleman's words!"
Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief. He was able to knock Lu Bao's head off and catch him. The strong man was extremely strong. It is better not to fight or not to fight.
He immediately stepped forward, raised his right hand, and swore to the sky: "Hurry up and whip your horse!"
"Haha, good!" The strong man was overjoyed.
A smile appeared on Chen Mu's face, he cupped his fists and said, "We'll see you later!"
"Then let's just say goodbye?" the strong man said with a smile.
"Don't pass." Chen Mu echoed with a smile.
"Let's go then." The strong man turned around.
"Please go first!" Chen Mu looked modest.
"Okay, let me go first." The strong man smiled.
Kill yourself!
He suddenly stepped forward and swung his left hand forward behind his back.
The arm is like a whip, and the short sword is the tip of the whip.
A huge force acts on the handle of the knife and is accelerated by the scabbard.
rub!
The short sword seemed to teleport, crossing a distance of four meters out of thin air, and suddenly appeared on the right side of Chen Mu.
Clang!
A short sword appeared and blocked the path of the short sword.
The tip of the sword hits the blade just right.
Hidden sword!
"Haha, I knew it! I don't harm people's hearts, but people do harm to me!" The strong man stared at Chen Mu.
"You and Lu Jin are in the same group, right?" the strong man said with a knowing expression.
"You misunderstood..."
"Sure enough! The world is dangerous and there are no good people!" The strong man yelled, his face full of sadness!
"The world only gives me ill will, then I will retaliate with a sharp knife!" The strong man yelled crazily: "Killing to protect lives! Killing karma, not killing people! Ahhhh..."
Seal the demon and kill it!
The hob's light was like a net, covering Chen Mu brazenly.
"You scoundrel! Break it into pieces! Break it into pieces! Hahaha..."
Chen Mu: "..."
puff!
A handful of bright red mist appeared out of thin air and pounced on the strong man.
The strong man's eyes, nostrils, and mouth were instantly invaded by red mist.
Caught off guard, the knife net almost collapsed.
But the strong man resisted the urge to rub his eyes. With more force on both arms, the sword light was three points sharper!
The muscles in his legs pumped blood, not retreating but advancing.
Regardless of disappearing from sight, he jumped up with his eyes closed and rushed towards Chen Mu brazenly.
But the moment he took off, a feeling of drowsiness suddenly hit him.
There was a momentary lag in the knife web.
Woo!
As if it had been rehearsed countless times, an iron lotus seed arrived as promised, like a nimble flying swallow, passing through the loopholes in the knife network.
Wrapped in the spiral airflow, it penetrated into the strong man's right eye and penetrated straight into his skull.
puff!
Chen Mu stood in the center of the arch bridge, indifferent.
Watching with an expressionless face, the strong man tilted his head back, watched his body turn over, watched him fall on his back and made no sound.
Glancing at the bridge, he confirmed that Lu Jin was still unconscious.
Chen Mu turned around and disappeared silently.
He wasn't going to kill Lu Jin, but he wouldn't save him either.
What the strong man said was actually quite good.
The world is dangerous!
Good intentions sometimes have no good consequences.
He didn't want to get into trouble.
And this stone bridge is the only way to Qingshan County.
Lu Jin will always be discovered.
Whether he lives or dies depends on his luck.
…
Half an hour later, on the stone bridge.
Chengyi squatted down to check Lu Jin's injuries.
"Not dead yet." Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his head: "But it's useless."
After a while of pressing and pinching, Lu Jin slowly woke up.
Seeing the sincerity, hope suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said angrily: "Save me..."
Look at Feng Ren sincerely.
Lu Jin turned his gaze with difficulty, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
Chengyi said calmly: "If the master is still here and you are not sure about our master and apprentice, how can you help us kill people and get dirty?"
"Feed him two Five Qi Pills." Feng Ren glanced at Lu Jin and said calmly.
Lu Jin suddenly felt grateful.
Five Qi Dan can be called a miracle medicine.
It can stimulate qi and blood and speed up cultivation.
It can enhance life potential and heal injuries.
These two masters and disciples still need me!
Yes, that scholar!
They need to find five people with special fates to make elixirs. That scholar is my bargaining chip!
Lu Jin felt relieved.
"He took the Five Qi Pills before, and his life potential is about to be exhausted. If he takes two more pills, he might be drained completely. He won't be able to live for a few days after the injury is cured." Chengyi frowned slightly.
Lu Jin froze.
Exhausting life potential, squeezing it dry, unable to survive for more than a few days...
Isn’t the Five Qi Pill a precious medicine that replenishes life potential? !
Lu Jin stared at master and apprentice Feng Ren in horror.
"Utilize waste." Feng Ren glanced at Lu Jin: "Bring out all his life potential, take his five internal organs, and sacrifice the Wuxin Bell."
"Yes." Sincerity suddenly appeared.
Lu Jin suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
…
"Master, will we be exposed?" Chengzheng looked at the strong man's body and asked worriedly.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Feng Ren pondered.
"Then..." Chengyi was a little anxious.
"It's not a big problem." Feng Ren thought for a moment and said, "Lu Jin doesn't know much."
"Yes! Even if there is an investigation, the focus is on killing people and refining elixirs." Sincerity immediately calmed down.
"But we have to be on guard." Feng Min said in a deep voice: "Notify Li Qing tomorrow and ask him to urge the laborers to speed up the construction of the altar."
"Okay." He nodded sincerely.
Feng Ren kicked his toes, and the strong man's corpse was kicked into the Bailang River like a rag doll.
He glanced at Lu Jin, who was lying on the ground, twisting and squirming, trying to escape.
Feng Ren said indifferently: "Take him with you and look back."
"Yes." Chengcheng stepped forward, grabbed Lu Jin's belt and lifted it up.
"Five people...the fifth person..." Lu Jin was so angry that he tried his best to speak.
Chengxin stopped and looked at Feng Ren: "Master, four of the five human tripods have been found, and the last one is still missing."
"Don't worry about him, I have a backup candidate." Feng Ren said without turning his head.
Lu Jin suddenly fell into despair.
…
As the sun set, Chen Mu sat on a bamboo chair.
There was a black clay pot sitting on the red clay stove in front of him.
The flames licked the bottom of the pot, and white steam floated from the edge of the pot lid.
Chen Mu stared at the red fire pond and adjusted the size of the fire from time to time.
"My heart is cold too."
Just over a year ago, he was a timid social animal with good intentions.
Although it won't do much, it won't do much harm either.
Now he easily ends a life without any disturbance in his heart.
Thinking of the strong man, Chen Mu sighed.
"Why can't we live in peace, why can't we be a good person?"
"Always forcing me to kill."
"It is these evil people that make my heart harder and colder, making me hate this world more and more."
Chen Mu picked up the lid of the casserole and put in the sliced fish meat.
An alluring smell goes straight into the nose.
"Hmm...smells!"
