Before he could escape even two steps, Tang Lie grabbed his ankle and pushed him to the ground. Ricardo raised his foot and kicked Tang Lie on the shoulder, which aroused Tang Lie's anger and grabbed him.

It pinched his balls, and although they were merciless, they still made Ricardo scream and curl up in the mud, clutching his lifeblood.

Tang Lie stood up from the ground with his face covered in blood.

Ricardo was so painful that his body couldn't help but tremble: "Damn, you are so cruel!"

Tang Lie staggered to Ricardo's side and pretended to support him. Ricardo endured the pain and stretched out his hand, hoping to take advantage of Tang Lie's unpreparedness and strike suddenly to knock Tang Lie to the ground.

It's a pity that Tang Lie had the same idea as him, so he got ahead of Ricardo and punched the side of Ricardo's neck, knocking Ricardo unconscious. He wiped off the blood on his face and the bridge of his nose.

It was swollen, and there was burning pain. I touched it carefully with my hands. Fortunately, I was not interrupted by Ricardo. I grabbed Ricardo's shoulders with both hands and dragged him deep into the woods.

At this time, Feng Cunzhen and Lady Shui had already neatly restrained the twelve sand thieves. They looked at Tang Lie with smiles. They had never used such a stalking and fighting method like Tang Lie just now.

See.

Tang Lie panted and said, "Move them all to the woods first."

Lady Shui smiled and said: "It seems that it is not our responsibility!" She and Feng Cunzhen actually left the twelve sand bandits who were knocked unconscious and left.[

Tang Lie shook his head helplessly, and had to move the twelve sand thieves one by one to the depths of the woods and hide them. He was afraid that Ricardo would wake up in time and use Ricardo's dark iron sword to cut off the vines and kill him.

After being tied up tightly and exhausted after finishing everything, he rested his head on Ricardo's body and closed his eyes to rest.

Ricardo had a strong physique, and he woke up quickly. When he saw that he was tied up by Tang Lie, he said angrily: "Tang Lie, let me go! Otherwise, I will definitely sever all ties with you..." Before he could finish his words, Tang Lie

Another punch knocked him unconscious.

At this time, several sand pirates had woken up first. Seeing the situation before them, they were all filled with indignation and wanted to rush towards Tang Lie, but were shocked by Tang Lie's sharp eyes. Tang Lie said: "If you are really doing it for his own good, then follow him.

Let me go further together, Liu Guyan's strength is far beyond your imagination, such a reckless assassination will only lead to his death in vain."

Several sand pirates nodded silently. In fact, they had heard about the strength of the high priest for a long time. Today, they followed Ricardo to assassinate him, but they were actually determined to die.

The rest of the sand bandits had also woken up one after another. Tang Lie asked one of the sand bandits to carry Ricardo on his back and climb up the hill on the side of Jicui Valley. From here, he could clearly see the scene in the valley below. Tang Lie was right.

Liu Guyan was full of strong curiosity. Taking advantage of the favorable terrain, he happened to be able to observe Liu Guyan from a distance.

The rain became denser. Tang Lie knew that Liu Guyan was keenly aware of the existence of dragon power and did not dare to use the energy armor. He hid in the grass on the hill and his whole body was soaked by the fine rain.

Morning has come quietly, and the entire Jicui Valley looks particularly cold and quiet under the drizzle. A team slowly drives into the canyon below.

Everyone, including Tang Lie, suddenly became nervous. Although they were far away from the canyon, High Priest Liu Guyan's reputation in the Lande Empire was too prominent, and many people couldn't help but wonder whether they would be discovered.

Because the distance was too far, it was impossible for Tang Lie to see Liu Guyan's face clearly, not to mention that he should be sitting in a tightly packed car.

Tang Lie stared intently at the black car that was wandering in the mud, and suddenly a strange feeling arose in his heart. He actually felt that there was a pair of cold gray eyes behind him peering at him. This feeling made him extremely frightened.

, subconsciously turned around, only to see the thin grass undulating with the wind in the rain curtain behind him, with no trace of anyone anywhere.

Ricardo woke up leisurely at this time. Tang Lie was worried that he would act recklessly and raised his fist to attack him again. A bitter smile appeared on Ricardo's face and he whispered: "The opportunity has been missed, what else do you want to do?

"At this time, Liu Guyan's team was about to walk out of the valley. Ricardo looked down, but his eyes were attracted by another team. That team should have made a special trip to welcome Liu Guyan. The leader of the team was General Guan Shen.

Wearing black armor, his snow-white hair stood out. Ricardo bit his lower lip, his eyes flashing with rage. The general turned out to be Ge Feng! How could he have the same knowledge? Since Ge Feng knew Liu Guyan's itinerary

After revealing it to himself, why did he come here to greet him in person? Could it be that he had another idea in mind.

Tang Lie leaned into Ricardo's ear and whispered: "Did you see it? This insidious and cunning guy probably wanted to put you in crisis. Now I am beginning to wonder whether Liu Guyan killed Fuyun.

.”

Ricardo was so angry that his tiger body couldn't help but tremble. If Tang Lie hadn't stopped him by his side, he would have jumped down and asked for explanation.

Ge Feng turned over and jumped off his mount, strode to the front of the black carriage, and said respectfully: "Disciple Ge Feng, see Master!"

There was a weird laugh in the carriage. After the laughter stopped, a hoarse voice said: "Feng'er, you came here to pick me up with so many people. Did you hear something?" [

Ge Feng said respectfully: "Master is indeed aware of everything. Feng'er wanted to meet your grand master at the city gate, but suddenly I heard that someone was going to ambush you in Jicui Valley. I was worried that Master had made a mistake, so I came here to meet you.

"

"He is indeed a filial child..." Liu Guyan spoke extremely slowly, and he said meaningfully: "It seems that this storm indicates that my trip to the imperial capital will not go well."

A trace of imperceptible hatred flashed through Ge Feng's red eyes, but the expression on his face always remained modest: "Master, let's return to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible."

"Okay! You lead the way!"

Watching Liu Guyan's motorcade disappear at the end of the valley, Czar Ricardo could no longer suppress his inner anger. His head suddenly hit the ground below to vent his depression. Tang Lie picked up his black iron sword.

After cutting off the vines tied to Ricardo's body, Ricardo regained his freedom. The first thing he punched was Tang Lie. Tang Lie was already prepared and retreated to the side.

Thinking that the opportunity to assassinate Liu Guyan had finally been missed, Ricardo sighed, glared at Tang Lie and said, "You'd better not interfere in my affairs from now on."

Tang Lie smiled and said: "I'm too lazy to care about you, but as you saw just now, Ge Feng has no thoughts of revenge at all. He came here most likely to see if you are dead."

Ricardo remained silent, hating Ge Feng's insidiousness even more in his heart.

Tang Lieyu said earnestly: "Liu Guyan's true identity is the demon sword owned by Demon Emperor Qiu Chan. You can't defeat him by yourself, so why risk everyone's lives."

Ricardo said angrily: "I will never let Fuyun die in vain."

Tang Lie saw that his mood was gradually stabilizing, and then he dared to walk to him, patted his shoulder gently and said: "Things are complicated and confusing now. The real cause of Fuyun's death may not be as Ge Feng said. I think it is still...

Wait until everything comes to light before you plot revenge."

Ricardo was finally persuaded by Tang Lie, bit his lower lip hard and said, "I'll go find Ge Feng and find out!"

"Absolutely not! This person is very scheming. He may have already had the intention to harm you..."

At this time, a sand bandit next to him suddenly exclaimed: "That black hawk seems to be coming towards us!"

Ricardo and Tang Lie were startled at the same time. They looked up and saw a black hawk circling slowly under the clouds high in the sky, its silver claws flashing with an icy cold light.

The sand thief whispered: "It has been hovering for a long time. I'm afraid it has discovered our whereabouts."

Ricardo stretched out his hand and took the strong bow from the sand bandit beside him. He bent the bow and set an arrow, looking at the direction of the black hawk. The bow was like a full moon. He pulled the bow string to the end and suddenly let go of the bow string in his hand. He only heard "Bang!"

There was a soft sound, and the arrows shot toward the black eagle in the sky like lightning.

The black hawk seemed to be aware of the approaching danger, fluttering its wings and gliding to the right like lightning. Its silver claws slapped on the high-speed flying arrow shaft. This blow caused the arrow to deviate from its original direction.

It also avoided the danger of being punctured in the abdomen. The tip of the arrowhead passed through the black hawk's right wing and continued to move forward. Two or three black feathers fell from the air, and the black hawk was thrown into the distant sky in shock.

When Ricardo wanted to shoot again, the black hawk had turned into a black dot in the distant sky. He cursed viciously: "Damn it! You cunning beast!"

Tang Lie said decisively: "We must leave here immediately, that black hawk may tell the enemy where we are lurking."

Ricardo said indifferently: "It is also possible that it just happened to pass by." Although he said this on the surface, he also knew that this black hawk would not appear here for no reason. He ordered his men to pack up their equipment and use various colors of oil paint to cover their faces.

I started painting flowers and walked along the hillside in front of me into the dense forest below.

Tang Lie looked at the sand bandits who looked like special forces, and thought to himself: "This is a way to hide their true colors." He also asked the sand bandits for oil paint, and painted a big painted face for himself, and his nose was stuck.

After a heavy blow, the swelling became even more severe. Because the nose was congested, the mouth had to be opened wide every time he breathed, which looked extremely funny.

Ricardo couldn't help but laugh when he saw Tang Xie's embarrassed appearance. Tang Xie said angrily: "You are too harsh!"

Ricardo was not much better than Tang Lie. The place where his lower body was pinched by Tang Lie was still aching. He walked with standard bow legs and glared at Tang Lie fiercely.

Crushed."

Tang Lie smiled gloatingly: "Look at your bad looks, who would be willing to marry you..." As soon as he said the words, he suddenly felt that he had made a mistake. Ricardo thought of the pain in Fuyun's heart, and the smile on his face disappeared.

And light.

Just as Tang Lie was about to apologize to him, a scream suddenly came from the front, and the two sand bandits traveling at the front suddenly sank into the ground.

This group of sand pirates are Ricardo's carefully selected right-hand assistants. They are all good at sand traveling, and their strength is outstanding among all sand pirates. However, before they had time to react, their bodies were dragged into the ground, and their necks sank into the ground.

After that, they were chopped off by sharp blades, and the two heads rolled down the cascading hillside.

The remaining Sand Bandits hurriedly dispersed around when they saw the tragic scene in front of them. Ricardo's eyes were splitting, and he rushed forward with a roar, and thrust the Black Iron Sword into the ground like lightning.

The soil under his feet suddenly became softer, and a huge pit appeared under Ricardo's feet. Ricardo's burly body spiraled into the pit and disappeared from everyone's sight.

There were screams from behind again. Tang Lie looked back and saw three sand bandits whose necks were tightly entangled with tree vines. They were instantly pulled into the air. The powerful force broke their cervical vertebrae and killed the three alive.

The sand bandit hanged himself.

"Mu Fengchun!" The name flashed in Tang Lie's mind.

Mu Fengchun's soft and charming voice sounded above his head: "Who do I think it is? It turns out that it's a bunch of thieves who want to ambush the high priest!" His crystal naked feet gently touched the two leaves, charmingly

Her body rises and falls with the wind, making her look delicate and charming, no less charming than a real woman.

A sand bandit roared and attacked Mu Fengchun with his sword. Before he could get close to him, two green vines wrapped around his body like spiritual snakes.

Tang Lie knew very well that these sand bandits were no match for Mu Fengchun. He grabbed the vine with both hands before the sand bandits. Unexpectedly, the vine sprouted several tentacles from the edge, covering Tang Lie's arms layer by layer.

Tangled up.

Tang Lie concentrated the energy in his body and exerted force suddenly. The powerful energy broke all the tentacles wrapped around his arm.

There was a look of surprise in Mu Fengchun's beautiful eyes. He didn't expect that this group of sand pirates would have such a powerful master besides Ricardo.

Tang Lie said calmly: "You go first, I will deal with this monster that is neither male nor female!"

What Mu Fengchun feared the most in his life was that others called him a monster that was both male and female. The anger in his heart was aroused by Tang Lie. He screamed and dived down towards Tang Lie.

Several vines gathered in the air to form a long stick as thick as a bowl, and struck down on Tang Lie's head with all his strength. Tang Lie had seen Mu Fengchun's tricks before, so he took two steps back and took the stick thrown by a sand bandit.

The scimitar struck the long stick in an arc, cutting off a section of the top of the long stick. On the cracked section, vines sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and they shot towards Tang Lie like dozens of open tentacles.
