Chapter 72 Chapter 72
Although he was very careful, Nan Xun inevitably left traces with Liu Yiyi, and he was discovered soon after.
"Watch your back!" Although Liu Yiyi was being held, she did not relax her vigilance at all, so she immediately discovered the throwing knife thrown by the person who was chasing them.
Nan Xun narrowly avoided dozens of flying knives, and his speed inevitably slowed down a bit.
Just this slow step gave the leading man in a hat an opportunity to overtake them from the side and stop them in front of them.
"The cat-and-mouse game is over." The man in the hat waved his right hand, and his men immediately surrounded Nan Xun and Liu Yiyi. Now they were unable to fly.
Nan Xun's expression darkened, knowing that a battle was inevitable.
Liu Yiyi pulled his sleeve and motioned for him to put her down.
Although Nan Xun was worried about her injury, he still put her down. When she first came down, Liu Yiyi's steps were unsteady, but she was much better than before when she couldn't stand up.
"Aside from my life, what else do you want?" Liu Yiyi looked at the man in the hat with a frosty face, and took a step forward to block Nan Xun behind him.
The relentless pursuit in the past few months made Liu Yiyi know that the other party was determined to take her life. If she had met the man in a hat a month ago, Liu Yiyi would have been in a hard fight the moment she caught up.
But after a month of pursuit and interception, Liu Yiyi discovered that the other party seemed to want more than just her life.
really--
"I like to deal with smart people." The man in the hat laughed softly.
He looked at Liu Yiyi accurately through the hazy white gauze, and his voice was hoarse and strange: "I want the heirloom of your Liu family, I know it is with you."
When he and Fen Gong were ordered to pretend to negotiate with the Liu family, they actually found a reason to kill everyone. Because they were in a hurry, they didn't have time to find the Liu family heirloom. When they went to look for it later, they found that it had been taken away. Who could take this thing away? Only Liu Yiyi.
The man in the hat knew very well that Zhou Donghan's twisted character found that he had not been able to get things done for so long. If he did not find some magic weapon to please him, the end would only be more miserable.
——Even if he wanted to kill Zhou Donghan more than anyone else.
"Okay." Liu Yiyi's eyes flashed and she said, "But you have to let him go."
It was obvious who he was referring to.
"How do I know if you will give me something as promised after letting him go? If you don't take it with you but hide it somewhere, wouldn't I be deceived by you?"
The man in the hat said calmly.
Nan Xun wanted to say something, but Liu Yiyi stopped him.
She looked back at Nan Xun, with guilt and gratitude in her eyes.
At this point, Liu Yiyi no longer felt that she could escape, but if she could survive, she would be alone. Nan Xun should not die in a place like this with her.
"The stuff is here."
Liu Yiyi's fragility was like a flash in the pan, and she still looked cold when facing the man in the hat.
As she spoke, there was something in her hand. The man in the hat could tell at a glance that the thing was not ordinary.
"Very good." The man in the hat raised his lips slightly.
Liu Yiyi was disgusted by his unconcealed greedy gaze. Qianqian took the things back with a flip of her hand and said in a cold voice: "You also saw the things. According to the agreement, you let him go."
What answered her was the sound of a sharp knife being drawn out of its sheath.
The man in the hat brushed the sword with his pale, paper-like fingers. He looked at Liu Yiyi with almost pity, and laughed softly: "Liu Yiyi, you are still so naive until now."
He raised his sword and pointed it at the two of them with a cold tip.
"Since the thing is on you, can I get it if I kill you?"
From the beginning, he never promised Liu Yiyi to let Nanxun go.
Before he finished speaking, the man in the hat rushed forward like an arrow from the string. At the same time, the men in white clothes surrounding him also drew their swords and attacked in tacit agreement.
It may seem disgraceful to bully the young, but after being a dog to Zhou Donghan for so long, the man in the hat has long forgotten how to write the word conscience.
"Despicable!" Liu Yiyi also didn't expect that the other party would not only lie to her, but also attack her so shamelessly, so she drew her sword in anger.
Nan Xun never thought about leaving Liu Yiyi alone from the beginning to the end, so when the man in the hat attacked, he had already prepared a response and took the first step to lure him away.
Liu Yiyi was not as strong as Nan Xun. If she faced the man in the hat, she would be defeated in a short time, but if she faced the siege of the man in white, she could still survive for a while.
The man in a bamboo hat's attack was blocked by Nan Xun, but he didn't care. Anyway, Nan Xun was not as strong as him, so it would be a matter of time before he could be defeated.
But Nan Xun's action of blocking Liu Yiyi's sword did not know which minefield the man in the hat was exposed to, and instantly angered him: "Since you want to die so much, then I will help you."
After that, the already sharp swordsmanship stabbed at Nan Xun intensively. Each sword was aimed at taking Nan Xun's life. Nan Xun spent most of his concentration just avoiding resistance.
Compared to Nan Xun, who was struggling to deal with it, the man in the hat seemed to be doing it with ease, and even had time to taunt him:
"You can run away alone, but you have to stay and be killed by me. Who do you think you are!"
It was obviously Nan Xun who was mocking him, but as he spoke, the man in the hat saw another person. His voice was still hoarse but contained resentment.
"Who do you think you are?! Just because you blocked her sword, do you really think you are omnipotent!"
"Why! Why can you just die like this!"
Painful memories of the past flooded into his mind, and the man in the hat's roar seemed to be yelling at the long-dead person in his memory. In his rage, his attack actually showed some flaws.
Chance!
Nan Xun's eyes lit up, and he caught the man in the hat's flaw in a flash of lightning. He raised the tip of the sword and went straight to the man in the hat's throat!
The crisis instinct made the man in the hat instantly wake up from his madness, and he immediately responded and tried to avoid Nan Xun's sword.
But the two of them were too close. Even though the man in the hat had already dodged as fast as he could, his jaw was still slashed by the sword energy, and the hat on his face was broken into two pieces.
The bamboo hat fell to the ground with a muffled sound, and Nan Xun was shocked by the face of the man in the bamboo hat after the wind and sand passed.
What he saw under that bamboo hat was actually a face full of terror after being burned by smoke and fire!
"Ah……"
The man in the hat was stroking the crooked scars on his face. The scars that had been covered up were revealed in public. He laughed angrily and looked at Nan Xun as if he were looking at a dead person.
The terrifying sword energy condensed on his sword body. The man in the hat no longer held back and slashed towards Nanxun——
If he resisted head-on, Nan Xun would be alive and disabled, but if he avoided it...
When Nan Xun thought of Liu Yiyi behind him, he couldn't make a decision.
"Catch-"
At this critical moment, a scream came from behind, and Nan Xun subconsciously caught what Liu Yiyi threw over - it was the Liu family heirloom that the man in the hat wanted just now.
The activated magic weapon sensed the attack and instantly expanded a circle with a radius of three meters around itself, glowing with orange light.
At the same time, Liu Yiyi's face instantly turned pale, and her movements to avoid the man in white became much more clumsy.
This magic weapon is not something that Liu Yiyi can control now. Being able to activate it almost drains Liu Yiyi's spiritual energy.
The Liu family heirloom lived up to its quality and took all the attacks from the man in the hat.
But……
"Let's see how long you can block it."
The man in the hat was already pretending to be crazy, and regardless of the faint smell of blood in his throat, he launched a second attack that was beyond his strength!
But at this time, Liu Yiyi could no longer hold on. When she was stabbed by the man in white, the protection of the magic weapon was instantly shattered.
Could it be that... I am really going to die here today...
Nan Xun looked at the sword energy getting closer and closer and clenched his right hand unwillingly.
"arrive!"
A loud, somewhat familiar voice suddenly sounded, and then another, even stranger, deeper voice.
The deep voice was endearing: "Be good, don't look."
Then, there is the pressure that is so powerful that even resistance is ridiculous.
The man in the hat's attack had been easily dispersed by the invisible force, as if it had never existed.
From somewhere in the forest, two people, one black and one white, walked out.
The young man in white was tightly trapped in the arms of the handsome young man in black with one hand around his waist and covering his eyes with the other hand. The young man in white pouted his mouth unhappily. The young man had a handsome and sinister face and was graceful and noble in every gesture. , but the eyes he looked at the boy in white were warm and doting.
"Why don't you show it to me!" The boy in white, Qin Moyu, clapped his hands covering his eyes unhappily. He just wanted to be the "master" who saves the protagonist, but he didn't see clearly what happened. Mo covered his eyes and even hugged himself too much.
Doesn't this stop him from being cool?
Shen Mo glanced at the terrifying face of the man in the bamboo hat and felt that Qin Moyu would not want to see it. In order to comfort the person in his arms, he had no choice but to lower his head and say in his ear: "Trust me, Momo."
The hot breath hit the ears, instantly reminding Qin Moyu of the collision between souls just now, and he immediately became motionless and pretended to be wooden.
Ahhhhh! Why do I think of that again!
calm! calm! Qin Moyu, you are an experienced driver! Don't be so shy!
Despite this, Qin Moyu still felt like white smoke was coming out of his head.
"I don't know what the reason for your sudden appearance is."
Being stared at by Shen Mo, the strong pressure caused a drop of cold sweat to flow from the forehead of the man in the hat. He instantly recovered from his angry state and looked at the two people who suddenly appeared warily.
To be precise, it was Shen Mo who appeared.
This man is very strong! Very strong!
This was the only feeling the man in the hat had. He even felt that this person might be several times stronger than Zhou Donghan.
You must know that Zhou Donghan is a powerful person who can transcend the tribulation stage and can make him feel stronger than Zhou Donghan... then what kind of monster must he be.
"Find someone."
Shen Mo glanced at Nan Xun aside, his meaning was already obvious.
"I see……"
The man in the hat tugged at the corner of his mouth, trying to make himself look harmless. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, his face that was destroyed by Zhou Donghan not only failed to show kindness, but became even more frightening: "Now that you have found it, how about you?" Don’t bother me, we still have missions..."
"I've always been weird."
Shen Mo suddenly interrupted the man in the hat and looked at him with interest: "Where did Zhou Donghan's most loyal assassination team go? It turned out to be here."
Anyone who knows a little bit about Yunqi Tower knows that in addition to his own strength, Zhou Donghan, the owner of Yunqi Tower, also has an absolutely loyal and powerful assassination team, which is ridiculed by outsiders as "the demon cultivators are more human-like than them". They also do things that make people fear and hate them.
In order to make better use of Shen Mo's plan to "proclaim himself emperor", Tiandao let Zhou Donghan get close to Shen Mo. In order to win Shen Mo's trust, Tiandao even gave him half of Yunqi Tower. Over the years, Shen Mo has almost controlled Yunqi Tower. However, this assassination team has never been able to penetrate.
loyalty?
The man in the hat felt extremely ironic. He sneered in his heart, and there was uncontrollable hatred in his eyes.
"At the same time, I have always been surprised. With your strength, it was impossible for you to remain unknown before you sacrificed your life for him, but you couldn't find any trace. Now I understand."
Shen Mo chuckled lightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes and was even colder.
"It turns out that you are the long-dead eldest son of the Yu family, Yu Li."
How could anyone think of someone who was long dead in the eyes of the world?
not to mention.
This person is still the "enemy" who was slaughtered by Zhou Donghan himself.
