"Senior Brother Ma, three people came over, and one of them looks a lot like Ye Chen! The sky is a bit dark, so I can't see the other two clearly. But there are five of us, which is enough to deal with them!"
A young man in charge of the lookout shouted softly.
"Well done! Come on, follow me down to intercept them!"
Ma Ruyuan was sitting on the ground and resting. Hearing this, he was overjoyed. He suddenly stood up, called to the other four people, and rushed down the hill.
.......
"There's someone in front, maybe another hunting team from the academy!"
When Wei Zhen heard the sound of strong wind coming from the front, he suddenly ducked down, shouted in a low voice, and held the short blade in his backhand to stop himself.
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed and he looked forward.
The figures of Ma Ruyuan and four or five other warriors rushed from the front, and Shao Shao was already standing more than ten feet in front of Ye Chen and others.
"Senior Brother Ma, it's Wei Zhen and Zou Yi. What should we do if there are two more troublemakers? Should we kill them too?"
A young man whispered, making a gesture of wiping his neck.
"Shut up! Do you think it's so easy to kill three warriors at the sixth level of the body refining stage?! If you can't kill them, it will be even more troublesome if they escape."
Ma Ruyuan rolled his eyes, glared at the young man like he was an idiot, and shouted in a low voice.
The young man immediately murmured, shut up and said no more.
Ma Ruyuan glanced at Wei Zhen and Zou Yi, and said loudly and disdainfully, "It turns out that it's Wei Zhen, Zou Yi, two senior fellow apprentices, and three civilian warriors gathered together. But I advise you two to stay away! I'm looking for you.
Ye Chen has something to do, and it's none of your business. You'd better pretend that you haven't seen anything happen, and get as far away as you can! Afterwards, I will give you a sum of gold as hush money. If you dare to leak even a word, I will immediately
The family will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"
"Bah, Ma Ruyuan, who cares about your gold! What's so great about your father being a first-grade general who protects the country! I joined the Wu Kingdom Army and became a fourth- and fifth-grade general. After working for decades, I can still become a first-grade general. With
I deserve your charity here!"
Wei Zhen was outspoken. He pointed at Ma Ruyuan's nose and yelled back.
"Haha, half of the 100,000 troops on the border of Wu State will act based on my father's face. If you listen to my father, you will be promoted. If you don't listen, you will get out! Wei Zhen, you are nothing. I, the Ma family, will strangle you to death.
It's easy to crush an ant to death. You, a short and skinny boy, still want to be a fourth- or fifth-grade military general, so go ahead and dream of your spring and autumn dream!"
Ma Ruyuan held the knife in both hands and laughed wildly.
"Wei Zhen, don't be naive! Do you really think that if you pass the graduation examination and receive a letter of recommendation from Beilu Academy, you can be promoted to a noble rank?!"
"When you join the frontier army, everything is decided by the Ma family! Even the court can't do anything! If you offend the Ma family, it will be difficult to move forward in the army. Of course, you can go to a small town and be a gatekeeper, and you will be stuck in the same place for the rest of your life.
It’s a small place, so it’s up to you.”
The four young men next to Ma Ruyuan also laughed. The reason why they followed Ma Ruyuan was to please the young master of the Ma family. In the future, they would follow Ma Ruyuan to advance in the military, occupy high official positions, and enjoy glory and wealth.
"I... even if I can't be a general in the army, I will become a country-level assassin sooner or later."
Wei Zhen's face turned red and he shouted, but his confidence in speaking was obviously not enough. To become a country-level assassin, you must first reach the ninth level of the body refining stage, and your martial arts must also be of an extremely high level. This difficulty is comparable to that of being an assassin.
It is more difficult for high-level generals.
Zou Yi's expression already showed a flinch. He tugged on Wei Zhen's clothes, shook his head and whispered, "Brother Wei, the Ma family is powerful, we can't fight him! This matter is originally a grudge between them, and with us
It doesn’t matter at all, we’d better not interfere.”
"Brother Zou, how can you say such things!"
Wei Zhen jumped to his feet in anger.
But Zou Yi didn't want to come forward, and Wei Zhen didn't even want to.
Ye Chen was originally thinking quickly about whether to fight Ma Ruyuan here, but after hearing Zou Yi's words, he knew that the situation was over, so he turned around and ran towards the rear. If he hesitated to stay, his life would be at risk.
He didn't blame Wei Zhen and Zou Yi for not taking action.
The friendship between him and his two senior brothers only lasted a few days. They were not brothers in need. It was enough that Wei Zhen was willing to say a few fair words. How could he still expect them to help him at all costs? The students in Beilu Academy who dared to offend Ma Ruyuan,
After all, they are only a handful.
"He wants to run! Chase me quickly!!"
Ma Ruyuan shouted excitedly, holding the knife in hand, and chased after him first.
Several other young warriors glared hard at Wei Zhen and warned Zou Yi and the others not to interfere in this matter, and then followed Ma Ruyuan in pursuit.
"Alas! Junior Brother Ye Chen is afraid that the worst will happen... I hope he can escape back to Beilu Academy alive!"
Wei Zhen glanced at Zou Yi and was dejected. He did not blame him and lost his previous heroic spirit. Zou Yi was right. It was not cost-effective to involve their own future for an unfamiliar Ye Chen.
The mountains were deserted, and the two figures gradually disappeared.
.......
As Ye Chen ran wildly, he would look back from time to time to glance at the five warriors who were chasing after him. He frowned and thought quickly, with a faint cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
In less than a short moment, he ran quickly to a cliff.
In front of it is a steep cliff, with a large crack several feet wide on the cliff, which winds and leads to the depths inside. The inside seems to be extremely deep, and I don't know where it leads.
Ye Chen was in a hurry to escape and didn't have time to think too much. He rushed in and rushed into the crack at full speed.
"Haha, Ye Chen, you can't escape! I have checked the terrain in this area before. This is a line of cliffs, and the inside is only a thousand feet deep. Don't expect to be able to escape from it. The inside will become thinner and thinner as you go, until even people can't
If you can't make it, you will die. Today is your day of death!"
Ma Ruyuan followed and rushed into the big crack, with a steel knife dangling in his hand, chasing after him desperately, laughing ecstatically.
"This is the price you pay for humiliating me in public! If you dare to embarrass me, I will let you lose your life."
Ma Ruyuan laughed wildly with pride. When he thought that Ye Chen was going to be killed by him in the Beilu Mountains, Linlin's whole body was filled with excitement. With that kind of incomparable pleasure, she really wanted to roar a few times and let the whole Beilu Academy listen.
Well, Ye Chen, the commoner boy who had humiliated him, died tragically in the hands of Ma Ruyuan.
He wanted to see who in Beilu Academy or even Wu Kingdom would dare not give him Ma Ruyuan face again.
Ye Chen ran inside and suddenly turned back with a sarcastic look, looking at Ma Ruyuan who was chasing behind him like a dead man.
The two of them had already rushed hundreds of feet up the cliff.
"Oh, really! I have been here before and even slept here for one night. Of course I know there is no way to go inside this cliff."
"The day before leaving the academy, I went to the bookstore to borrow the martial arts secret book "Eight-Door Golden Lock Sword". The "Eight-Door Golden Lock Sword" you practiced includes twenty-two sword techniques and five
The footwork is like flowing clouds, combining hardness and softness. The more open the place, the more flexible and changeable it is. The ability to dodge enemy attacks is excellent. I may not be able to hit you! But in a narrow place like Xianxian Cliff, I will see how you use it.
Use your footwork to avoid my sword skills!"
Ye Chen's voice was extremely calm, and there was no trace of panic.
"What!"
Ma Ruyuan was suddenly showered with cold water, his whole body trembled, and he suddenly woke up from the excitement and crazy pleasure.
Yes, the terrain of this line of cliffs is getting narrower and narrower, which is not conducive to him performing the "Eight Gate Golden Lock Sword Technique", but it is very beneficial to Ye Chen, because Ye Chen's "Tiger Leap Sword" does not pay attention to body avoidance, but rather
Go forward bravely, but once they meet on a narrow road, they are simply unstoppable. It can be said that these two different sword techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages.
He only thought that he would definitely win with the numbers of people, so he focused on chasing and killing, but ignored this aspect.
We can't pursue it any longer!
Ma Ruyuan choked, stopped abruptly, and was about to exit.
Ye Chen never gave Ma Ruyuan a chance to escape. He jumped up, pushed his right foot on the cliff on the left, and used the force to turn around suddenly.
His right hand rested on the handle of the knife at his waist, and his fingers trembled as if he was electrocuted.
