Chapter 187 Phantom of the Empty Mountain (2-in-1)(1/3)

 After a brief fight, countless green bamboos in the center of the Bamboo Sea were damaged by the sword wind, revealing an open space with broken bamboos and broken leaves everywhere.

Shashasha~~

The rain of bamboo leaves drifted away in the wind, gradually covering Huang Yulong's body.

Not far away, Pei Xiangjun held a spear and held down Xiao Shichen, who was covered in blood.

Ye Jingtang squatted in front of him and took out the medicine bottle again:

"It's too late if you don't eat anymore. You are only the second in command. In the past, you had to listen to the boss's arrangements, not the mastermind. Now that your boss is dead, he is responsible for all the blame. I won't let you get away with it, at least I can let you get away with it.

You are spared one death. You are only over forty, and you have at least thirty years to live. Why would you die for King Wu?"

"cough……"

Xiao Shichen kept coughing up blood, looked at Huang Yulong who had expired, and said hoarsely:

"You should go after Bai Siming. Everyone in the world is just a loser. How could King Wu tell us where he is hiding? Ahem... Just kill him if you want. I've already done enough... Ahem..."

Ye Jingtang frowned, raised his hand to send Xiao Shichen away, stood up and looked into the depths of the bamboo sea.

Luo Ning came forward with her sword in hand and was about to speak when she saw bloodshot eyes on Ye Jingtang's hands and quickly held Ye Jingtang's hand to check.

Pei Xiangjun took out the golden sore medicine from his waist and handed it to Ye Jingtang with a very unhappy expression:

"You don't need a big gun, but you have to use a knife to shoot at close quarters. What are you thinking?"

Ye Jingtang was not injured, but his skin was broken by the shock. He clasped his fingers and shook his head:

"I just want to test whether the dragon-slaying order is powerful or not. The sword-breaking techniques are not easy to use at all and almost made me confused."

Luo Ning took out her handkerchief, wiped Ye Jingtang's hands, and frowned:

"If you use Junshantai's hundred-jin heavy sword, Huang Yulong will be knocked away by the first blow, let alone the sword. It's obviously because you have the wrong weapon..."

Pei Xiangjun saw that master Luo Ning was full of temper and said something wrong with Ye Jingtang, so he interrupted and said:

"Ning'er, you just jumped repeatedly, more than thirty times. What move was it? The ecstasy array?"

?!

Luo Ning stopped speaking suddenly and looked at the sarcastic Sanniang:

"What ecstasy formation? Mine is the Nine Palace Steps!"

"The Jiugong Step is a close-fitting footwork. Is it useful for being four to five feet away from the opponent?"

"I took a soft sword and didn't look for opportunities to sneak attack. How could I attack the front like him? You also used a big gun and poked me from the beginning to the end... Wow~!"

Luo Ning was quarreling with Sanniang, who was taunting her, with angry eyes. But in the middle of her conversation, a handsome face suddenly appeared in front of her.

Then the warmth came from the red lips, blocking the words tightly.

"Eh~"

When Pei Xiangjun saw Hu Meizi being held and chewed, he quickly turned his head.

Luo Ning was attacked by Ye Jingtang. She was very angry. She raised her hand and hit her shoulder, turning her cheek away:

"Little thief, are you going too far? She said nothing to me, but you shut my mouth when I told her?"

Ye Jingtang took the dragon-screaming gun and looked serious:

"I just want to take advantage. How can you say I'm biased? Let's go and chase Bai Siming."

Luo Ning felt that Ye Jingtang was trying to be biased, but business was more important and it was not easy to say much, so she put away her sword energy and rushed forward.

Pei Xiangjun put the spear that did not match his body on his shoulder and thought about it while walking:

"By the way, officers and soldiers came suddenly just now. After they came out, they ran non-stop to chase them. I forgot to tell you. When I was watching on the roof, I saw King Wu's cronies coming, and there seemed to be someone following behind."

Ye Jingtang took the Overlord Gun and put both guns on his shoulders:

"Following? Who?"

"I don't know. Qinggong is very powerful and my insight is amazing. I found someone watching me near the Moon Lane and ran away. Not long after, a woman in white came to the town from behind. She seemed to be chasing the Qinggong master in front..."

Luo Ning slowed down and asked:

"What kind of woman?"

"I don't know. It's too far away. I can only see clearly that he is wearing a curtain hat and a white skirt. His Qinggong must be better than mine..."

Ye Jingtang only heard this, so naturally he couldn't figure out his identity. However, judging from 'the enemy of his enemy is his friend', the person who could pursue and follow Bai Siming would most likely be from King Wu's side.

After thinking about it for a moment, Ye Jingtang wrote down the matter first, and left the bamboo sea together, chasing the direction Bai Siming left...

——

The remaining shadows cover the moon, and old and withered trees are entangled in the deep mountains and dense forests. From time to time, several unknown beast howls are heard:

"Ouch~~"

The birds spread their wings and hovered in the night sky. Their bright black pupils reflected the mountains and fields for miles around, locking onto the figures escaping quickly in the woods.

Bai Siming, who was dressed in a military robe, walked on the ground between the mountains with amazing movement skills. He was very fast but made no sound. Occasionally, he would lightly jump up to the treetops and carefully look at the wind and grass behind him. He was extremely cautious.

.

But no matter how cautious a warrior is, it is difficult to notice a bird circling high in the sky at night.

Realizing that the Black Yamen King of Hell behind him was being held back by Huang Yulong and others and was not catching up, Bai Siming no longer worried about hiding and began to speed through the mountains at full speed.

Swish swish swish~

Although the movement was small, it was still flying at full speed in the deep mountains and old forests, bringing out a row of swaying tree crown branches and leaves, extending to the northwest, like a beast walking through the forest.

The birds followed them high in the sky, and after chasing them through several mountains, they suddenly found a dark figure on the top of a mountain, standing on a commanding height and looking out at the mountains.

The movement caused by Bai Siming was not big, but it was very noticeable if you looked carefully. The black shadow quickly locked onto Bai Siming's position, and then followed quietly.

Niaoniao tilted his head high in the sky. Just when he was confused, he spotted another white shadow floating out of sight at an alarming speed and chasing the two of them.

The three of them were separated by a long distance, walking through the mountains like a mantis stalking a cicada and an oriole behind.

The woman in white at the rear kept closing the distance. After touching a cliff, the black shadow noticed it, turned around and ran away.

The woman in white burst out at the same time and jumped down from the cliff.

Sa——

Then grass and trees began to fly across the mountains and fields, and black and white shadows scurried around like cats chasing mice.

Bai Siming, who was escaping in front, became obviously alert when he heard the noise, and flew away into the distance without stopping for a moment.

Bird's head was full of questions. Because his goal was clear, he ignored the two outsiders who were running around and continued to chase Bai Siming...

——

The night is already dark.

In the deep mountains and old forests, a group of three people moved forward silently. Ye Jingtang carefully observed the clues on the ground to determine the direction of Bai Siming's escape.

However, when top masters escape, the traces they can leave are barely visible. If they want to catch up with Bai Siming, they have to rely on the scouts Niao Niao. The three of them walked slowly in the mountains, mostly resting and recuperating, waiting for Niao Niao.

Come back and report the location of the target.

After walking forward like this for two quarters of an hour, no birds were seen turning back or signaling. Ye Jingtang's ears were slightly twitching and he looked towards the high mountains ahead.

Pei Xiangjun lowered his breath and looked into the mountains:

"Is there something wrong?"

Ye Jingtang stood up, jumped to the top of a big tree, and looked into the depths of the mountain:

"There seems to be someone fighting in the mountain, and there is quite a lot of movement."

"Bai Siming got into a fight with others?"

"possible."

Now, Ye Jingtang is not the only one who is coming to hunt for King Wu from the imperial court.

King Wu rebelled and escaped, and being the first to discover and capture him was a great achievement that would be enough to gain promotion to an official position. Leaders from all over the country and even government experts have been rushing to Wuzhou in recent days.

If other people searching for traces in the mountains encounter a conflict with Bai Siming, the duck he caught may fly away.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingtang did not hesitate and began to move quickly towards the mountains; Luo Ning and Pei Xiangjun also stood up and followed behind...

————

Flowing clouds covered the full moon, and the deep mountains and old forests darkened, leaving only dim starlight.

Deep in the mountains, in a pine forest.

There is a thick layer of yellow-brown pine needles accumulated on the ground. The ground is very slippery and will make a soft sound when stepped on.

A woman in a snow-colored dress and a white gauze hat walked slowly through the dim pine forest. Her white shoes embroidered with plum blossom petals stepped on the pine needles. They seemed to have no weight and did not cause any movement.

.

The woman in white is holding a long sword. The sword is three feet and three inches long. The blades on all sides are as bright as mirrors. The guard is shaped like a yin and yang fish. The name is quite special. It is called 'Hehuan', which means yin and yang. It is one of the top ten names.

The sword among swords.
