Chapter 25: There is a
sudden change in the forest. Who is calling for help?
Xue Ling thought quietly.
And this is the wilderness outside Luo City. Fang Bei specially took Xue Ling out of the city for a circuit before stopping here, intending to remove all traces of odor from his body before returning to the city.
It's probably mid-afternoon now.
Just when Xue Ling stood up from the pool and wanted to wipe her body with a towel and put on new clothes, Fang Bi's voice drifted over from a distance: "I'll go take a look first, be careful to follow." It turned out that it wasn't me first
. Go take a look. Why don't you come with me? Xue Ling couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
But now that Fang Bi has spoken, Xue Ling can only obey.
She wiped her body and put on new clothes. Looking at the old clothes, she wanted to burn them but was reluctant to do so, so she re-wrapped the old clothes in green cloth. Then she got lucky and used Qinggong to move towards the place where the sound just came from. Floated over.
In this situation, Xue Ling did not seek speed, but sought concealment. The cry for help did not stop, but it was just in the wilderness. Even if most people heard it, they would just stay away and rarely come close.
When he got closer, he could hear the sound of weapons clashing. Xue Ling was already close. When he pushed aside the bushes, he saw a man and a woman, one fat and one thin, fighting in the forest clearing. The woman was holding a The gleaming silver sword was attacking all the way, and the moves were fierce, trying to kill people at every turn. The man was short and fat, shouting for help while retreating defensively. It seemed that he could no longer withstand the opponent's ten moves and was about to fall to death.
Xue Ling subconsciously wanted to draw her sword to help, but as soon as she moved, someone silently held down her shoulder from behind, and Fang Bie's voice came faintly: "It's me." Xue Ling turned around and saw Fang Bie's face
. Standing behind her expressionlessly, they were peeping at the battle together.
But it was obvious that Fang Bie set off first, why was he behind him now?
Xue Ling was a little confused about this, but Fang Bie pointed in front of him: "Stop talking, watch this fight."
"Aren't we going to help?" Xue Ling asked back.
Fang Bie smiled and said, "Help? Who are you helping?"
"Who can completely understand the cause and effect, the ins and outs, let's just watch the excitement." Fang Bie
's voice was cold, and Xue Ling was a little disapproving. After all, the situation in front of her was clear. If he didn't help, the short, fat man would die on the spot within a few rounds.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Xue Ling watched as the woman in bright red used two or three brisk sword moves to push the long knife away from the man's hand, and saw that it was about to pierce the opponent's chest. The man was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that he could no longer stop or dodge.
But when the sword hit the opponent's chest, it couldn't penetrate it no matter what.
"How is that possible?" the woman said in surprise.
The man who had been looking frightened finally smiled slyly and said: "How is it impossible? You didn't expect it, my little beauty?"
He said this, reached out and grabbed the long sword on his chest, and then made a click. It broke like a wooden stick. The woman was unexpected and staggered back, incredulous: "This is impossible, this is impossible."
She didn't want to believe what was happening in front of her, but what was happening in front of her was the reality of this world.
The man took another step forward and hit the woman's chest with his palm, sending her flying a foot away. He watched as the woman spat out a mouthful of blood.
All these changes came without any warning. Just now, the woman had the advantage and was about to kill the man. However, in an instant, the attack and defense were different, and the woman became a fish on the anvil.
Xue Ling was really dumbfounded. Recalling that she actually wanted to help this man just now, she realized that she was the Tiehanhan who couldn't understand the situation at all.
The woman raised her head, untied the pocket on her waist, and poured out a few dark iron blocks with a clatter. Xue Ling's heart moved when she saw it - these iron blocks were clearly the mysterious iron blocks that Fang Bu had spent a thousand taels to buy each piece. , now this woman has several pieces on her body.
Could it be that she is the God of Thunder?
But that thunder god was dull and talkative, and he was clearly a man. How could he turn into a woman and kill people and seize treasures in the woods?
"Spare me, and I will give you these pieces of black iron, as well as these one thousand taels of silver notes." The woman said hurriedly: "I also know a place where black iron can be found, as long as you spare me , this is all yours."
The man chuckled, stepped forward and pulled out his right hand on his waist, a cold light flashed, the woman's words stopped instantly, a beautiful head rolled down, and the whole body fell backwards.
To the end of her life, she could not believe that the man had killed her so decisively.
The man showed no mercy at all. After killing the woman, he stepped forward to check the iron block that the woman had just taken out, tied it around his waist, picked up the banknote, and then stepped forward to briefly check the woman's body, and found that there was nothing. He turned around and left without disposing of the body, and quickly disappeared deep into the dense forest without a trace.
Xue Ling couldn't help but sigh with emotion when she saw the transition between offense and defense, killing people and grabbing treasures in less than a pack of cigarettes.
When he looked at Fang Bie again, Fang Bie looked uninterested and said softly to Xue Ling: "Let's go too."
"Aren't you going to bury the woman?" Xue Ling asked in surprise.
"People in the world of rivers and lakes have no place to die." Fang Bie said lightly: "Insects, birds and beasts are all destined to return, and they have nothing to do with us." Xue Ling glared at Fang Bie, walked
out of the bushes, and came to the place where In front of the woman with her head in a different place, her fallen head and eyes were still open, full of horror and disbelief. It was obvious that she was unwilling to believe that she would die like this.
This made Xue Ling really sigh with emotion.
She couldn't help but squat down, reaching out to close the woman's eyes and find a place to bury her properly.
Unlike Fang Bie's broad-minded and pessimistic thoughts, Xue Ling still believed in retribution and cause and effect. Today, she was buried by herself. Maybe one day, when her body was exposed in the wilderness, someone would be able to bury her.
This is nothing more than the feeling of sadness that the rabbit is dead and the fox is dead. And at this moment, a sharp shout
rang out: "I'm just saying that this thief must have accomplices, so let's die."
He raised his palm to slap himself, and the wind from his palm enveloped him in all directions, making him obviously unable to escape.
It seemed that the short and fat man just pretended to leave to see if anyone would come to collect the body of the woman in red. He even said that the cry for help before was just to get her accomplices to come out.
Now Xue Ling really understands the word Jianghu is sinister.
The opponent's martial arts skills were far higher than his own. At this moment, Xue Ling lost the courage to draw his sword.
Just when Xue Ling thought she was certain to die, a young man in a white robe suddenly stood in front of her. She stretched out her hand and gave the short, fat man a slap in the face.
Bang bang bang, Fang Bu took three steps back and fell directly into Xue Ling's arms.
With a cry, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
This fat man's martial arts skills were surprisingly high.
