Chapter 151: There is a Sword in the Night
A scream rang out in the dark night, and it seemed extremely sad!
"Hoola!" a voice sounded, and the masked man in black didn't even bother to pick up the severed hand and spiritual sword on the grass. The moment he was hit by the sword, he turned around and ran away into the dark night.
After all, he underestimated the young man in front of him. In the eyes of the man in black, this young man without spiritual veins was no weaker than himself in physical cultivation.
He was so frightened that he no longer cared about the huge bounty. The most important thing now was that he could leave alive.
He didn't even have the courage to fight desperately.
His right wrist was cut off, so what could he do to fight the young man?
When the man in black in front of him turned around and ran out, Li Xiuyuan had quietly put away the Samsara Sword, held the iron bow behind him in his hand, and nocked an ordinary iron arrow.
He looked up at the moon that was gradually moving out of the dark clouds in the sky, stretched the iron bow in his hand into a full moon, and aimed at the man in black who was already on horseback.
The man in black was beating his horse and running wildly. He wanted to escape from this place quickly. Behind him was a murderous devil.
With a sigh, the bow string in Li Xiuyuan's hand was pulled open suddenly. The tough bow string buzzed, and the iron arrow that left the string flew to somewhere in the dark night like a black lightning.
"Buzz!" sounded, echoing over the icy grassland.
The black iron arrow pierced the dark night. At this time, Li Xiuyuan concentrated all his energy and energy to complete this fatal blow, because the one who escaped was a monk in the Void Refining Realm.
Even though his right wrist was chopped off, his physical strength still did not decrease much.
He will not allow the killer in front of him to escape from under his eyes. He will use the cold bow and arrow in his hand to keep his opponent on this cold grassland.
The black-clad killer on horseback heard the sound of strings in the night, but he did not believe that the boy could shoot him as he was moving so fast.
Even if it were shot on his own body, he believed that it would not be able to break his body in the realm of refining the void.
However, everything did not go as he expected.
There was a pop sound, and an iron arrow pierced his back. The arrow was many times faster than an ordinary iron arrow. The sharp arrow cluster instantly tore his black shirt and squeezed into the flesh and blood of his back.
middle.
When the iron arrow penetrated the flesh, a stream of blood flew into the dark night.
Even though he was hit by an arrow behind him, the man in the dark who was in pain still didn't dare to stop, and even more desperately hit his horse and ran forward.
"Buzz!" came another sound.
Before he could run too far, a second iron arrow struck with lightning, and a heart-stopping sound sounded.
The second iron arrow hit the man in black's back, but it missed the target. It was the first iron arrow that tore the wound in the man in black's back!
Before the man in black could scream in surprise, the third arrow came from behind!
Instantly hitting the previous wound, this time, the man in black finally screamed like a wild wolf in the wilderness!
Because the third iron arrow did not penetrate his back, but a flame burned brightly on the man in black's back. In just an instant, the man in black had to fall off his horse.
Rolling back and forth on the grass, trying to put out the flames behind him.
But everything didn't go as he expected. He first felt a burning sensation on his back, and then the blazing flames instantly enveloped his entire body.
Li Xiuyuan, who was standing not far from the camp, looked far away and saw a flame burning gently on the grassland a few miles away from him.
The man in black roared and rolled desperately in disbelief, with a look of despair on his bloody face.
He slowly struggled weakly on the green grass, and then gradually stopped moving.
"The Wang family in Loulan City, Yinchuan City..."
Standing in the night wind, Li Xiuyuan murmured quietly, took the horse left behind by the bandits, and headed towards the place where the flames were burning.
Even at the moment, he didn't bother to check the sword injury on his chest...
Because he was about to enter the ruins deep in the snowy mountains, Li Xiuyuan did not deal with the bandits that night, but chose to kill them.
But he didn't expect that he was careless. When he returned to the riverside of the camp after cleaning the battlefield and cleaned the wound, he realized that the sword of the black-clad killer had penetrated three points of his flesh.
Fortunately, it didn't hit the heart, otherwise I might not know where to go to achieve nirvana, and then I would miss this expedition to the ruins.
In his opinion, he should have retreated at that time instead of fighting to the death with the opponent.
When he retreated to the camp, even the man in black in the late stage of refining the void could not do anything to him.
I washed the blood all over my body in the river, sat down in front of the fire, added some branches to it, and put the kettle on it.
While he was pouring out a glass of spiritual wine and tending to the wound, Tantai Mingyue's face emerged from the darkness. She looked nervously at Li Xiuyuan who was applying medicine to his chest, and suddenly covered her mouth.
Among the seven, she was the only one who drank less and didn't sleep very deeply. When she heard the first roar, she woke up from her dream, but she couldn't open her eyes.
It wasn't until she gritted her teeth and kept pinching her thighs that she finally opened her eyes after an unknown amount of time. When she ran out of the tent, she saw the wound on the boy's chest at the first glance.
This wound, which was so deep that the flesh could be seen, looked extremely terrifying when illuminated by the flames.
Smelling a strong smell of blood in the wind, Tantai couldn't help but take a deep breath, frowned and asked: "Are there bandits coming to kill again? Why didn't you call us?"
Li Xiuyuan put down the wine glass, wrapped a piece of white cloth around his chest several times, looked at her and shook his head.
He said softly: "It's okay."
In his opinion, even if he woke up a few drunk guys who were unconscious, it would only cause trouble for him. Fortunately, he had a premonition and set up a magic circle around the camp early.
Otherwise, I'm afraid these guys would have been killed by bandits.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Tantai Mingyue and said: "When I am away from now on, remember not to drink at night, and at least two people should stay vigil..."
In his opinion, it was a miracle that these guys arrived at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain safely and unharmed.
Tantai Mingyue suppressed the shock in her heart, sat in front of the fire and asked softly: "Are the enemies very powerful tonight? How could you be so seriously injured?"
Li Xiuyuan was silent for a while, then said with a smile: "It's okay, I was careless...remember what I told you."
In his opinion, there will be more unknown dangers encountered in the ruins, and it doesn't matter if he is alone. These seven guys must learn to protect themselves.
Tantai Mingyue sighed and asked, "You were seriously injured, can you continue setting off tomorrow?"
For Li Xiuyuan, the black-clothed assassin who died under his arrow today was just because he took a sword on his chest and cut off his wrist to frighten him away, otherwise it would have been a tough battle.
If it were the seven people in front of him, even Tantai Mingyue in front of him, he would probably be chopped down to the ground in one move.
Tonight's battle seemed to Tantai Mingyue to be just an accident, but Li Xiuyuan knew that it was fate.
The Wang family of Loulan City would not give up until they heard of his death. Perhaps they were also afraid of his own arrow of revenge.
Li Xiuyuan stroked his injured chest with one hand, picked up the spirit tea and poured it into the cups of the two of them. He said quietly: "We can't waste time here anymore. We'll leave as soon as we have breakfast tomorrow."
"What will we do if we encounter bandits again?"
Tantai Mingyue asked with a frown. When she thought of seeing the wound on Li Xiuyuan's chest, she couldn't help but tremble slightly while holding a cup of hot tea.
"Kill them if you encounter them." Li Xiuyuan said in a serious tone: "Go all the way to Tag Snow Mountain. You should not encounter bandits again." After rubbing his face, Li Xiuyuan was silent for a moment and said: "Get closer to Tag Snow Mountain.
, the elders who want to come to the Holy Land have already rushed there with their disciples..."
Since Xueyuan Xueyuan has invited disciples from the other three holy places, it must at least ensure everyone's safety before entering the ruins.
In addition, there were no bandits who slipped through the net tonight, and by the time the other bandits got the news, they were almost at their destination.
Tantai Mingyue nodded and said, "That's right. As long as we get close to Tag Snow Mountain, we should be safe."
Li Xiuyuan tried to wave his arm, feeling the injury on his chest, and said quietly: "Remember, when you encounter bandits and killers in the future, you will be more ruthless than them!"
"Why?" Tantai Mingyue had just finished a sip of tea and looked at him and asked in confusion.
"Kill them until they are afraid of you, and naturally they won't dare to mess with you."
Li Xiuyuan pointed to the bright moon in the sky and said calmly: "When the bandits attacked just now, she hid quietly. I don't know if she was afraid of the bandits or me. Now when I dealt with them, she smiled again.
."
Tantai Mingyue looked at the flames in front of her in silence, took another sip of the spiritual tea in her hand, and then raised her head to look at the bright moon in the sky.
There is no difference between the starry sky tonight and last night, except that last night the sky was full of stars, and tonight there is an extra waxing moon.
Facing the young man she met halfway, she could not explain how a guy without spiritual veins could kill those fierce bandits in the dark.
Because he thought that he and others were drunk and asleep, and he didn't want to wake up everyone and face the unknown danger alone.
Her ice-like state of mind was finally like the snow-capped mountains in spring, with a trace of snow water blending into the mountain stream.
One of them woke up from a dream, the other had wounds on his body, and neither could sleep peacefully.
So I spent a long night guarding a pile of charcoal fire and holding a cup of spiritual tea.
In the early morning of the next day, the six people woke up from their hangovers, sniffing the faint smell of blood in the wind, and saw that their senior sister had fallen asleep leaning against the fire, and their brother was cooking a pot of fragrant meat porridge on the fire.
Feng Yun frowned, looked at Baili Yunyan and said, "The bandits came again last night. Why didn't we see Shura?"
Murong Zhilan, who was rubbing her eyes, looked up at the scenery on the horizon and the early birds looking for food on the grassland. She then turned to look at the hundreds of miles of clouds and said, "Sister, that guy is by the river."
"Don't wake up Senior Sister, please go and wash up first..." Baili Yunyan took a breath, rubbed her forehead and murmured: "That's good, the bandits are coming again?"
Murong Zhilan walked to the river with her eyes slightly lowered. She stood behind Li Xiuyuan and said, "I'm very angry. Why didn't the bandits wake me up last night?"
Li Xiuyuan turned his head when he heard this, looked at her and said with a smile: "The seven of you are sleeping like little pigs. I just woke you up from your sleep. Can you just go and fight the bandits?"
Baili Yunyan, who was following Murong Zhilan, stepped forward and looked at him and asked, "Are you okay? Why did senior sister come outside to sleep? I remember she was in the tent last night?"
"She is more vigilant than you. She woke up soon after the bandits came... From now on, you can't all sleep to death at night. Someone will have to keep watch..."
Li Xiuyuan, like the two women's master, explained everything carefully to the two women.
Finally, he said: "We can't rely on these four men for this matter. There is no one to stand up for the night vigil every day, so you have to help."
"Then starting tonight, the three of us will take turns to be on duty for the rest of the night, and let Feng Yun and the others be responsible for the rest of the night."
After hearing the commotion, Tantai Mingyue climbed up from the fire. After tidying up, she came to the edge of the river, looked at the four men and two women, and said quietly.
Chapter completed!
