Late at night, the stars are dim.
In the shade of dense woods, Zhou Yi's legs never stopped, running all the way. After escaping from Suzhou city, Zhou Yi fled at full speed to the countryside where he had hidden that day, where Qin Ge was waiting for Zhou Yi.
Under the cold moonlight, Zhou Yi's face looked paler and paler, but in the paleness, there was a faint sickly blush. Even people who were not familiar with martial arts could tell that this must be a sign of severe internal injuries!
In order to escape from the siege of the world's top killers from Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Zhou Yi forcibly borrowed strength. In a short period of time, his powerful cultivation exceeded the limit of his meridians, and he once again used the unique move that he had used to kill Young Master Xiaoyan that day, which was several times more powerful - the Immortal Sword Technique!
Unfortunately, such a reckless move would not be without cost. In fact, Zhou Yi felt extremely bad at this moment, and his internal injuries were as severe as when he was hit by Ouyang Feng's full-strength Toad Skill.
Ru Shi endured the injuries and ran for nearly ten miles. Zhou Yi then slowed down, observed carefully, and finally stopped under a big tree. Then he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of dark red dirty blood.
Zhou Yi reached out and took out a Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill from his arms, put it in his mouth, and began to use the Nine Heavens True Qi to heal his injuries.
"A thousand... cups and you won't get drunk! You..."
Seeing this scene, Qin Ge, who was waiting in the distance, couldn't help but exclaimed and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to help Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, I didn't..." Zhou Yi was halfway through his words when he suddenly saw a figure that shouldn't be here. He was standing quietly beside Qin Ge, which immediately shocked Zhou Yi.
"What's wrong? Didn't you expect me to be here?" The beautiful figure in white said calmly, "After I found out my brother was dead, I borrowed a thousand-mile horse and rushed here early in the morning while you were fighting in Suzhou. You are not familiar with Suzhou, so you must come here to meet Qin Ge. It's just as I expected!"
"Heh!" Zhou Yi chuckled and said, "Why, is Miss Murong also here to avenge your brother Murong Chunqiu?"
"That's right! I will of course avenge my brother's blood feud!" Murong Yanran answered firmly: "But, I believe that the killer will never be you!"
"Oh?" Zhou Yi's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked loudly: "Why?"
Murong Yanran was silent for a moment. Her stunningly beautiful face showed a special softness under the moonlight. "I looked carefully. There was only one sword mark on my brother's body. There was nothing else. There was not even a trace of a fight! In a closed environment like the box in Songhe Tower, it is obvious that the murderer killed my brother and sister-in-law with a single sword strike. They didn't even have a chance to fight back!"
Qin Ge on the side said in shock: "Are there really such masters in this world? They are so strong, right? A master like Murong Chunqiu doesn't even have a chance to fight back?" As he spoke, Qin Ge turned his head involuntarily and looked back at Zhou Yi, but his tone stopped abruptly, and his eyes revealed a look of surprise that he could not hide.
It was obvious that there was an incredibly powerful master by his side.
Zhou Yi smiled and gestured to Murong Yanran to continue.
"Yes! The only super masters who can kill my brother Murong Chunqiu so violently are obviously the eight Half-Step Broken ones in Fairy Lei's World Book, and there is obviously only Qianbei Buzui in Suzhou City today! In addition, everyone saw Qianbei Buzui kill Duopo in the Long Street Showdown and then rush into the box. It's so logical! But I don't believe it!"
At this point, Murong Yanran's soft eyes suddenly became sharp, and she said indignantly: "Even if my brother thinks he can't beat you, I don't believe there is a master in this world who is so strong that my brother doesn't even have a chance to fight back! Even if you can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, it won't work!"
"I see!" Zhou Yi nodded with a smile, looked up at the sky, and said, "I really don't have such ability, and I really didn't kill Murong Chunqiu, but now, apart from you guys, who else will believe me? I think at this moment, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion has already mobilized to take away my life of Qianbei Buzui."
Murong Yanran did not comment on Zhou Yi's words, and continued: "Since you didn't kill my brother, then there is only one other possibility! The murderer has been hiding in my Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and even holds a high position. He is my brother's absolute confidant. Only in this way can he approach my brother without any defense, attack him, and kill him with one blow!"
"So I absolutely cannot let the real murderer go unpunished!" Murong Yanran tightly grasped Zhou Yi's hand and said excitedly: "Quick, tell me, tell me what happened today! How much do you know?"
Zhou Yi stared at Murong Yanran's solemn expression, nodded vigorously, and said, "Today's events are really strange, but now that I have calmed down and thought about it, I can find a lot of clues."
"First of all, in the long street decisive battle, the one I killed was not the Soul-Snatcher, but a substitute who had practiced the Fourteenth Deadly Sword!" Zhou Yi said shockingly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Murong Yanran and Qin Ge were extremely surprised.
"Because at the moment when I killed him, the real Fifteen Deadly Swords were performed in the box of Songhe Tower. Although it only lasted for a moment, but for the dignity of my swordsmanship, I will never admit my mistake! Apart from Duo Po himself, there is definitely no one else in the world who can master this move!"
Murong Yanran's body suddenly trembled, and her phoenix eyes flashed with disbelief. She said in surprise: "That's it, my brother's trust in the soul-stealing skill is far beyond that of ordinary people. Only he can approach my brother when he is completely unprepared, and then use such an incredible skill as the Fifteenth Sword of the Deadly Sword! Only then can my brother not even have a chance to fight back, and suddenly die tragically under the sword!"
"That's not right!" Qin Ge muttered, "Murong Chunqiu shouldn't know that Duopo has a substitute? What's more, Duopo is second only to Xiaoxiang Pavilion and is above everyone else. What's the benefit of killing Murong Chunqiu?"
"Do you remember the incident your brother asked us to investigate about the northern branch of Xiaoxiang Pavilion being used by the Rakshasa Cult?" Zhou Yi turned his head and stared at Murong Yanran.
Murong Yanran frowned and said, "You mean the founder of that hall is Duo Po? Could it be that he is actually... a member of Xitian Yu Luosha?"
"Whether it is or not, we can only know after we go and see it!"
"Okay!" Facing Zhou Yi's gaze, Murong Yanran nodded vigorously, her soft face showing incomparable determination and firmness: "I will go to the north with you!" (To be continued)
