Chapter 272: Beaten, the situation is treacherous
"You Chuan's character recognition is quite good..."
After Chi Meng finished speaking, he felt a little unsure and said weakly, "It should be correct."
"I believe this." Xiao Yan nodded in agreement: "And now the Gu King is imprisoned, and all his confidants are missing. The only person in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave who knows whether Jiuli Village is an enemy or a friend is You Chuan, whom the Poison King once seemed to trust the most."
"I have a question." Ji Ruxue said suddenly.
Because of Xiao Yan's reminder at night, Ji Ruxue did not really fall asleep. She did not even change her clothes, just to be on guard against the unexpected suddenness. Therefore, as soon as Chi Meng went out, she noticed it and gathered with Chi Meng at the first time.
It is worth mentioning that, according to the arrangement of Jiuli Village, although the rooms for the three people are in the same courtyard, the distance between them is not short. There is a wide patio and a small alley.
The room of the Saint Chi Meng was separated from the two of them by a small alley. It was not clear whether the intention was good or bad, but it was obviously to separate Chi Meng and Xiao Yan, two people from the Central Plains.
Ji Ruxue was leaning against the door at this time. Seeing the two people looking over, she crossed her arms and said, "Logically speaking, You Chuan should be in Nanping Country, which is hundreds of miles away. Xiao Yan had people find out about him there two days ago, but he has already arrived at Jiuli Village today, and he just happened to run into us?"
"Miss, what you mean is that this was not written by You Chuan Guo?" Chi Meng asked in confusion.
"Not really." Ji Ruxue shook her head and looked at Xiao Yan. After the latter nodded slightly, she continued, "Although we didn't cover our tracks along the way and did reveal your identity as a saint in various places, the route was uncertain. If we hadn't been closely following, it would have been impossible to determine that our destination for the past two days was Jiuli Village. Even if we believe that we can reach Jiuli Village, based on the distance, if Xiao Yan hadn't shortened the distance by flying his sword along the way, we would not have been able to arrive here today.
Then thinking back, this note could indeed have been written by You Chuan. However, since You Chuan knew that Jiuli Village was not his friend, and he himself was now the target of public criticism in Raojiang, it was unlikely that he would have the opportunity to lurk in Jiuli Village. Therefore, the biggest possibility was that this note..."
Ji Ruxue paused and said, "It was indeed written by You Chuan, but he didn't write it to remind you. It's even more likely that he is not being hunted by the Ten Thousand Poison Cave as the rumors say. Instead, he returned to Raojiang early and knew that you would choose Jiuli Village to ask for help, so he waited here and used this opportunity to get close to you."
As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Yan and added, "The news from Nanping Country may have been deceived by someone."
Xiao Yan nodded.
Before, he summoned Hai Dongqing and sent a letter to Gong Yang Zuo who was in Nanping State, asking them to find out the news about You Chuan. The intelligence received later showed that You Chuan was indeed at the border between Nanping State and Raojiang. It was rumored that he had appeared on the battlefield some time ago, so he should still be in the territory of Nanping State.
Now it seems that the 'Youchuan' in Nanping Country is most likely just a smokescreen to confuse the world.
Chi Meng frowned, holding his cheek up to think hard, feeling a little distressed.
To be honest, she didn't quite understand what he meant. Why did You Chuan want to get close to her? There was no benefit in getting close to her, not to mention that she was now like a drowned dog, with no value at all. It didn't make sense.
Moreover, although You Chuan is stupid, he is not a bad person after all. Chi Meng doesn't think that he will set a trap for himself because of Du Gong's conspiracy, and he doesn't have the courage to leave him out.
Well, she still had some doubts that You Chuan would do it, because this man was really too stupid, so after thinking for a while, she asked with a bitter face: "Then what should I do? Isn't it impossible to tell whether the information on this note is true or false?"
Ji Ruxue was about to answer when she saw Xiao Yan suddenly snap his fingers and shoot out a cluster of energy, which instantly extinguished the candles in the room.
The room suddenly became dark, and the two women were startled. However, Ji Ruxue had sharp hearing, and she only moved her ears slightly to hear the unusual noise outside.
There was still a drizzle at this time, and water was dripping on the eaves, but there were faint sounds of footsteps. If you listened carefully, you could clearly hear that this was the place where Chi Meng stayed.
Chi Meng tightened her face and said nothing.
"Hey, I've been discovered~"
A buzzing laugh suddenly arose, and before Ji Ruxue could reach out to draw her sword, Xiao Yan pushed her away with a casual move, and both she and Chi Meng were pushed away by the invisible energy.
At the same time, the two girls heard the sound of breaking tiles above their heads, and a huge figure suddenly fell from the sky, smashing the wooden table that the three people had been surrounded by with a loud bang, accompanied by thick dust.
Ji Ruxue's heartstrings were suddenly tense.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan, who was originally sitting at the table, had already lightly moved away from the spot. At this moment, he just hooked his toes, and the wooden stool that was taken away with him flew straight towards the huge figure.
"hey-hey."
The laughter rang out again, and the wooden stool suddenly shattered. A huge fist flew out from it and went straight towards Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was not overconfident. The opponent in front of him was not simple. At least he did not notice him when he was hiding on the roof just now. This showed that the opponent had profound internal strength and could easily conceal the leakage of his breath perfectly.
He had consumed 50% of his internal energy during the day, and now only 20% had been recovered, so he used all his strength when he attacked.
The other party exclaimed in obvious surprise.
Xiao Yan's figure disappeared without a warning, and in a flash, he had already passed a distance of ten feet and rushed straight to him. Some of the arrogant attackers had clearly punched first, but were hit on the face by Xiao Yan's punch that was as fast as a white rainbow hanging in the air.
With a loud bang, the huge figure was thrown backwards, breaking through the windows, doors and walls, falling into the patio, and finally hitting a thick stone pillar. The pillar on his back cracked with a small spider web, and he barely stopped himself from flying backwards. He vomited blood and his face looked a little hideous.
As for why he used the word "together", it was because after Chi Meng saw the attacker clearly with the faint light from outside, he exclaimed in disbelief.
"Flower Bat! Ghost Head?!"
Xiao Yan calmed the surging blood in his body, squinted his eyes and saw that there were indeed two people.
However, the two people who were slumped in front of the pillars had their hearts and hands connected, forming a huge fist. One was tall, the other short, and in the darkness they looked like one broad and strong person. However, upon closer inspection, it was found that although the two had strange shapes, the short one had a big belly and a long neck, and the tall one had a short neck and a strong body, they were dressed like infants and looked stupid, like conjoined twins who had not yet been born.
But the combined force of the two of them just now delivered a punch that was stronger than an ordinary Great Heavenly Rank. The power of the punch was astonishing, and it was obvious that they had deep internal strength, which was seriously inconsistent with their appearance.
"careful!"
Ji Ruxue's ears moved again, and then she flew over and knocked down the confused and angry Chi Meng, then she crouched down and rolled to avoid the countless arrows that suddenly flew in from outside.
Xiao Yanshou kept his man still and raised his hand. A door was pulled straight up from the door frame, flipped in the air, and blocked a large number of arrows.
But outside the door came the sound of bowstrings being pulled again, so dense and continuous that it drowned out the sound of rain.
"The Saint has been bewitched by the people of the Central Plains and has lost her mind! The Witch King has ordered that all people from the Central Plains must be killed without mercy! Capture the Saint and bring her back to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave!"
The deep voice of the leader of Jiuli Village sounded behind the arrow, obviously he had returned here from where Chi Meng was staying.
"Son of a bitch!"
Chi Meng clenched his fists tightly and was about to stand up and go outside to argue, but Ji Ruxue held him back: "Don't be impulsive. The enemy's situation is unknown. Don't let them take advantage of you."
As for Hua Fuzi and Gui Touyao, who were punched out by Xiao Yan, after wiping the blood from the corners of their mouths, they just stood up with a smile as if nothing had happened, and then said in unison: "Sister Saint, Uncle Du Gong asked us to take you back..."
As they spoke, the two of them, one big and one small, tilted their heads at the same time and laughed foolishly again: "Of course, I'll take your head back."
The heavy footsteps of the two men sounded again, and they knocked away several soldiers from Jiuli Village who were drawing bows and shooting arrows. They shouted loudly, gathered their strength and rushed out, shortening the distance of ten feet.
Xiao Yan turned around and said, "You guys go first, don't get stuck here, be careful."
As he spoke, he drew out the cracked long sword, held it in his palm, and shook it with one arm. With a whoosh, the entire long sword instantly broke into countless pieces, and then shot forward in unison, forming a large net that covered the rain in the sky, not only shattering all the arrows shot from the air, but also unstoppable momentum, like a torrential rain of pear blossoms, suddenly knocking down a row of Jiuli Village soldiers.
The leader of Jiuli Village quickly retreated and hid behind the pillars, avoiding the torrential rain.
Hua Fuzi and Gui Tou Yao, who were rushing in the front, had to stop and wave their hands to block, using the internal energy on their arms to protect their bodies, trying to push away this sudden rain of swords. However, the broken swords still penetrated into their flesh and blood, bringing out blood flowers and the sound of "pu pu" was endless.
"It hurts so much..." The two of them kept shaking their hands, as if trying to get rid of the pain.
"go!"
At the same time, Ji Ruxue, who had already developed a tacit understanding with Xiao Yan, acted decisively, immediately pulled Chi Meng up and jumped, lightly tapped the beam, and then jumped lightly out of the big hole in the roof and rushed into the rainy night.
"Saint sister, don't go..." Hua Fuzi and Guitouyao raised their heads anxiously and started howling.
However, the next moment, they both felt a chill all over their bodies and turned back to look forward.
After Ji Ruxue and the other person left, Xiao Yan assumed a very ancient boxing stance, took a step forward, stretched out his arms, and moved smoothly like flowing water.
In just a moment, the air beside Xiao Yan suddenly frosted over, and the fist force in his body poured out like a flood, giving off a truly chilly feeling. In the eyes of the people outside the door, it was like a bright moon rising from a mountain, extremely terrifying.
Three parts return to the origin, Tianshuang, proud of the snow and frost!
The leader of Lao Village, who had already poked his head out from behind the pillar again, swallowed his saliva.
He only knew that there was a man from the Central Plains beside the Saint who had beaten all seven of the Tong family's priests to death. He only heard that he was very strong, but he didn't expect him to be so strong?!
Why does it feel like the conjoined twin sent by the Witch King might not be able to handle it?
Where did this dragon from across the river come from? I am a local snake, not even good enough...
The leader of Lao Village wanted to retreat. The Saint had already escaped. Although the situation in the Shiwan Mountains had changed, Jiuli Village had not changed because of joining the Witch King. Moreover, the Saint now had such a powerful man by her side. There was still a long way to go. Should he wait and see the situation before making a decision?
However, when he wanted to have a good chat with this young man from the Central Plains, he heard Hua Fuzi and Guitou Yao shouting in unison, and then he saw Xiao Yan disappear out of thin air. In a flash, he came in front of the two of them and punched them at the connection. His momentum was fierce and cold, like a solitary peak standing proudly. The two men staggered sideways and were embarrassed to take the blow.
The big thing is bad!
The eyelids of the leader of Lao Village jumped. He felt that it would be difficult for him to intervene. Just standing at a distance and watching the battle made him break out in a cold sweat.
After all, Hua Fuzi and Gui Tou Yao had good cooperation and were able to resist, but for some reason, their domineering and powerful internal strength seemed to be suppressed by Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan's punches were getting faster and faster, but they were always only half a step away and had no power to fight back. They could only rely on their strong bodies to resist.
In a moment, dozens of punches came: shoulders, chest, ribs, abdomen, back, head, elbows. Hua Fuzi and Gui Tou Yao wailed continuously. Their originally flexible bodies now seemed extremely clumsy. Except for the key parts that could barely be protected, every part of their bodies was hit hard by punches.
Xiao Yan's punches were as fast as thunder, and the drizzle condensed into frost mist. After twenty punches, Hua Fuzi and Gui Tou Yao were already covered in blood, their protective qi was unstable, and the cold air entered their bodies, greatly damaging their strength.
"Save me! Save me!"
Under the violent beating, the two could no longer hold on. Xiao Yan's powerful punch hit the tall Hua Fuzi on the temple, causing Gui Tou Yao to fly backwards. The former smashed the alley, and the wall behind him shattered. Hua Fuzi was completely sunken inside and could not be pulled out.
And since Guitouyao was conjoined with the other two, this punch was equivalent to a solid hit on his head. Especially since Huafuzi was in a dying state, he instinctively began to panic.
Xiao Yan shrank back and punched Guitouyao right in the throat. The latter's eyes suddenly bulged out and his face turned ashen, as if he was dead beyond death.
He did not forget to finish off the opponent with a sweeping kick, which instantly sent the two of them flying dozens of meters away. Then he dodged and caught up with them, stepping heavily on the throat of Hua Fuzi, who was not yet dead, with his toes, causing the two of them to die instantly.
At this time, a chilly air mixed with blood wafted out from the mouths and noses of the two men.
Smooth and refreshing.
Xiao Yan shook his bloody fist. These two had been transformed through secret methods, and their bodies were extremely strong, with deep internal strength protecting them. Punching them was no different from forging iron. Fortunately, they were still weak, and before he could take his first breath, they had already been beaten to death.
He turned around and saw the leader of the Lao Village, who had secretly moved to another location, feel a chill down his spine. The remaining soldiers of the Jiuli Village in the courtyard were all shocked and retreated in terror.
As for the dense footsteps coming from the foreign reinforcements in the alleys, they subconsciously ignored them.
Including the leader of the Lao Village, everyone now believes it without a doubt.
Before other people in the village arrived, the man in front of him could beat them all to pieces with one hand!
"Boom!"
The leader of the Lao Village, with his chest exposed and tattoos all over his body, suddenly knelt down. His nearly nine-foot height seemed like a small mountain in the night, but he spoke in an earnest and firm voice: "I, the Jiuli Village, am willing to serve the Saint until death!"
Xiao Yan glanced at him without saying a word. He stomped his feet hard on the floor tiles, causing them to shatter instantly. Then he suddenly rose from the ground, jumped onto the roof, and chased in the direction where Ji Ruxue and the others had left.
The people sent by Du Gong include more than just Hua Fuzi and Gui Tou Yao. The situation was uncertain before, and he couldn't be distracted to take care of the two of them. If one of them was trapped in Jiuli Village by accident, it would be troublesome. It would be better to let the two girls leave first.
As for the leader of Jiuli Village, after being glanced at by Xiao Yan, he felt cold sweat pouring down his whole body, especially in the courtyard where the cold air was still lingering and filled with frost and fog. He felt his upper and lower teeth trembling and his legs became weak.
No matter what, Jiuli Village cannot accompany the Witch King all the way to the end.
------
The Ten Thousand Mountains were filled with wind and clouds, and Bianjing, far away in the Central Plains, was also somewhat unusual.
Miao Chengtian put down the brush he was using to write notes, his expression looking somewhat serious.
Xuan Jingtian stood in front of her with a bow in hand, his expression cold. He just looked at Duan Chengtian and Li Mang who were standing in the hall, as well as a group of bad guys holding swords, with their swords drawn.
Duan Chengtian had a stern face and said nothing.
Li Mang narrowed his eyes, with a kind smile on his face, and said with his hands in his pockets: "The two ladies should make it clear today."
"Why did we lose contact with the Bad Guys in Fengxiang?"
"Why were the secret agents in various places in Guanzhong suddenly taken over by your people from Huanyinfang overnight?"
"Why were all of my Bad People's personnel in Qi Country detained?"
"Prince Qi showed up at Anle Pavilion in Luoyang. Is he trying to seize power?"
"You, Huanyinfang, are planning to betray Junhou?"
The unsheathed Tang sword pressed the Miao Chengtian sisters so hard that they could hardly breathe.
