"Over there!" someone suddenly shouted.
Chi Muheng and Xue Lang looked together, and saw that the two people at the bottom of the slope in the distance were still carrying the book box and medicine box, but they were looking left and right under a cliff, as if they were deciding which direction to go.
Akagi Yoko whispered: "Let's sneak over, be careful!"
The group quietly crept towards the two men, who were discussing something in a low voice at the foot of the cliff. Suddenly, a bird flew up, and the two turned their heads to take a quick look before running away in panic.
Akagi Yoko sneered, "They are running to a dead end, let's chase them."
They flew up and chased after the two men.
The two men were so panicked that they were blocked by cliffs and rocks and were forced to turn around several times.
Akagi Heng, Xue Lang and their gang took advantage of this opportunity and got closer and closer.
Until the two men had nowhere to escape and fled into a canyon.
Akagi Yoko sneered viciously: "This is Luxia, it's a deadly place, they have nowhere to escape."
They rushed into Luxia, only to see the two men sitting on the rock peak in front of them, talking and laughing.
There was a knife on the hook-nosed young man's leg, and the knife exuded a hint of murderous intent.
He looked down at Akagi Yokogawa and the others and said with a smile, "You guys are here!"
Chi Muheng and Xue Lang were both on guard. As soon as they saw their attitudes were different, they knew something was wrong. Chi Muheng said:
"Exit first..."
There were rocks and huge trees rolling on both sides. Those who reacted quickly jumped up and scattered, while those who reacted slowly were hit by the rocks and huge trees, leaving their flesh and blood all over the place.
Shi Hao laughed loudly and said, "You've fallen into my trap!" This laugh was as loud as thunder.
The thunderous laughter echoed in the valley, further undermining the fighting spirit of these people.
The laughter paused, and Shi Hao drew his sword. His whole body seemed to be dragged by the sword, drawing a shocking rainbow in the air, and slashed towards Akagi who jumped up quickly.
Akagi said angrily: "How dare you!" The Dark Iron Bow was quickly put on the shelf.
With a loud bang, the sword and bow collided.
It was not as powerful as imagined, but there was a mysterious pulling force that almost made Akagi Heng's Dark Iron Bow fly out of his hand.
This feeling almost made Akagi Yoko vomit blood. However, he was born into a wealthy family after all. Although he was not a direct descendant, wealthy families have always had no shortage of martial arts.
He shouted loudly, and the Dark Iron Bow turned against the trend. He clapped his left hand, and stones appeared out of thin air, pressing towards the opponent like waves. This was one of the secrets of the Akagi tribe, the "Fossil Technique".
"Good!" The young man with the hooked nose was seeing such a miraculous feat for the first time, but he was not afraid at all.
He slashed out three times, each with a tricky angle, strange and unpredictable. Akagi fell horizontally on the stone, cutting three times in a row, and his lungs were shaken.
The most powerful thing about the purple vortex sword technique combined with the magic power of the magic sword is that the power in the sword is completely unpredictable and can be pulled in any direction. When the sword slashes, Akagi has to block it. After blocking it, the magic vortex can pull his dark iron bow in any direction.
He had to determine the direction of being pulled at the moment of contact, so that he could quickly add strength and control his weapon to avoid being led away by the other party.
In this way, the opponent's strength of six or seven points can mobilize his twelve points of strength.
When had Akagi Heng ever seen such strange martial arts? The more he fought, the more frightened he became.
At the same time, Xu Xiaoyan used his incredibly light and agile body movements to entangle Xue Lang, who also had a seventh-grade foundation in the "Flying Scorpion Blade".
Xue Lang's swordsmanship was fierce and deadly, but he couldn't even touch the corner of Xu Xiaoyan's clothes. He had never seen such a light and agile body movement, just like catkins in the wind, erratic and completely unpredictable.
Shi Hao looked over and saw that this girl had not used her true abilities in the past. She was very capable and kept it hidden. Even now, she was probably only using 70% to 80% of her abilities.
The other people in the Six Gates were not so lucky. Chi Muheng and Xue Lang, two good fighters, encountered strong enemies, and they were ambushed and killed by surprise. Jiang Yiran, Chen Feng, Lu Tong and others took the opportunity to attack and were unstoppable.
"You're finished!" Shi Hao laughed loudly. He activated the Sacred Heart Mirror Technique, and his momentum was overwhelming, which frightened Akagi Heng.
Chi Muheng's momentum was even weaker, and he used his unique skills, several killing moves coordinated with the Fossil Method, in succession, trying to find a chance to escape. Finally, he grabbed a glimmer of hope, quickly pulled away, and turned around to run out of the gorge.
But then he heard another loud laugh: "Watch out for the knife!" The laugh came from clearly a few feet away, but suddenly it was behind him, and the knife was slashing rapidly towards his back.
This is impossible! Chi Muheng was horrified, and the fossil method was running on his back. Bang, after a light sound like beating leather, only a shallow knife mark was left on his back.
Shi Hao put away his sword and laughed, "Great! Great!"
Akagi flew out of the gorge and fell to the ground with a thud. He rolled on the grass in pain, and suddenly twitched a few times. His legs stretched out and he died on the spot.
It turned out that although his Fossil Technique blocked the blade's attack, the mysterious magic power within the Purple Vortex Sword Technique still pulled at his lungs, twisting his internal organs into a ball. This was a more painful way to die than a caesarean section.
The dead Akagi Yoko was still lying on the ground, his eyes wide open, and he died with his eyes open. What he couldn't understand the most was that he had just found a chance to escape, so why did the opponent who was temporarily forced back by him suddenly catch up with him again
Such a strange speed cannot be explained by "qinggong".
Shi Hao put Ying Ye's murderous knife away halfway and turned to look at Xue Lang.
Xu Xiaoyan flicked the whip and said with a smile: "My mission is completed, and I will leave him to you!" She then floated away easily like a butterfly.
Shi Hao approached Xue Lang step by step.
Xue Lang was terrified. At this moment, the young man had not yet approached, but the girl had already retreated. Logically speaking, it was the best time to escape.
However, people who learn martial arts keep their eyes open and their ears alert. He saw the scene where Akagi Yoko had clearly escaped several feet away, but was caught up by the young man and killed on the spot.
This made it difficult for him to escape or not escape. The young man had a sinister look, a look of disdain, and a murderous aura, as if he was not afraid of him escaping at all, which made him freeze in his tracks.
It seemed that every step this young man took was like a rolling wave, his murderous aura was growing heavier and his momentum was growing stronger.
Suddenly, the young man took a step forward, and the knife light was already in front of his eyes. He slashed it down with the knife. In Xue Lang's eyes, it was like the beginning of the universe and the separation of yin and yang.
Xue Lang yelled and used his Yanling Knife to block with all his might. With a bang, the Yanling Knife slipped out of his hand under the powerful pulling force and circled around Yingye's vicious knife twice.
Yingye's vicious knife chopped down at Xue Lang's side, and the spinning goose-feather knife cut across Xue Lang's throat. Xue Lang fell to the ground with a thud, and a look of despair in his eyes.
The young man with the hooked nose didn't even look at him again. He slowly put away his knife, standing as tall and majestic as a mountain.
In fact, Xue Lang was known as the "Flying Scorpion Blade". He also had a seventh-grade foundation and was famous for his swordsmanship, so his strength was not low. In a normal fight, Xue Lang would never be killed by him with one sword, and even more than ten or twenty swords would be difficult to do.
However, Shi Hao, relying on the power of killing Akagi Heng, took advantage of his frightened mentality and built up momentum step by step, with each wave stronger than the last. With his astonishing momentum, he actually killed this shrinking expert of the same level with a single sword strike.
Jiang Yiran, Chen Feng and other heroes present at the scene were shocked when they saw him kill Akagi Heng with one move and cut off the "Flying Scorpion Knife" with one move, and they cheered loudly.
—Time, inside and outside the gorge, is roaring—
Chapter 75 Daxing City
The battle ended quickly, and soon there were corpses everywhere.
Xu Xiaoyan was a thief by nature, and he searched Chi Muheng and Xue Lang's bodies, and found a fifty-liang silver note and more than twenty liang of silver coins.
This is already a small fortune.
Jiang Yiran and others cut off the heads of Chi Muheng and Xue Lang, and quickly evacuated with everyone.
That night, they hid deep in the mountains. This group of heroes got plenty of wine and meat from nowhere. They were all very excited and toasted brother Hao and "Night Lily", who was a heroine even though her appearance was disappointing.
It should be noted that the cunning tricks set up by Akagi Heng and Xue Lang really killed many heroes who wanted to join Changbai Mountain.
If it weren't for the help of Brother Hao and Ye Baihe, they would have had no choice but to evacuate first and would have been unable to avenge those dead heroes.
The scene of the Hao brothers beheading two masters of the same level was deeply imprinted in their minds. Especially the last kill with a single sword, which made them unforgettable for the rest of their lives.
On the second day, Shi Hao and Xu Xiaoyan followed these heroes down the mountain and retreated to a remote mountain villa.
The owner of the villa is just a local squire on the surface, but in fact he is a member of the Dark Thunder Society.
Xu Xiaoyan ran to trade with Jiang Yiran and others. After a while, she brought back a small bag with satisfaction.
Shi Hao asked, "How did the talk go?"
Xu Xiaoyan said with a grin: "Those small Huandan pills are worth 800 taels, but they can't take out that much at once, so they took 20 taels of gold beans first, which counts as 360 taels of silver, and the remaining 440 taels is our investment.
"I asked them to write an IOU for Fu Shiyuan. If this rebel army is still around at this time next year, they will pay us back twice the interest plus the principal."
Shi Hao smiled and said, "Double interest, that's 880 taels, plus the principal. I don't know if you are trying to blackmail me or are doing a losing business."
After all, their Xiao Huan Dan was actually stolen, and it was a no-cost business, so he didn't care. Although in terms of the actual price, they really sold it for less, after all, these were goods that were not available on the market.
If this rebel army can really survive until next year under the full force of the Barbarian Court, it must have grown so big that the Barbarian Court cannot suppress it. In this case, they will not only earn this business, but also the connections of the next dynasty.
"Brother Hao!" On the other side, Lu Tong floated over and whispered, "Are you leaving?"
Shi Hao nodded slightly. He whispered, "I still have some other things to do."
In fact, he didn't mind joining the Dark Thunder Society, but he was now using the Evil Shadow Disguise to maintain his disguise and appear in front of these people. However, the Evil Shadow Disguise could not last long after all, and after a day or two, it would become unbearable.
Lu Tong looked up at him, wanting to say something. After a while, she lowered her head again and said softly, "Then... take care of yourself!"
Shi Hao looked at her and said slowly: "The road of the martial arts world is so dangerous, and what you are doing is even more arduous. Miss Tong, you must take care of yourself too."
Lu Tong raised her head again and looked at him: "Brother Hao, where are you going next?"
Shi Hao pondered for a moment and looked at Xu Xiaoyan. Xu Xiaoyan said with a grin, "Daxing City, we are going to Daxing City!"
Lu Tong said, "Daxing City... Brother Hao, wait a moment!" He turned and floated away, discussing something with Jiang Ran and others.
After a while, she floated over again and whispered, "In Daxing City, in Wannian County, there is a place called Hulu Alley. There is a door at the end of Hulu Alley. If Brother Hao needs help from our Dark Thunder Society, you can knock on the door three times and then five times with the doorknob if necessary.
"We have our own branch there, and they will contact you, Brother Hao. We will also communicate with the branch over there."
Shi Hao nodded and said, "Thank you!" Then he said goodbye to Lu Tong.
Lu Tong escorted them all the way out of the villa, stood at the gate, and looked at his distant back with reluctance.
—
Shi Hao and Xu Xiaoyan were walking on a small path that deviated from the official road. Xu Xiaoyan turned around, put her hands behind her back, and looked at him while backing away.
Shi Hao asked: "What's wrong?"
Xu Xiaoyan laughed and said, "You are really doing evil. You left that little lover alone last time, and this time you provoked Miss Tong again."
Shi Hao said solemnly, "Don't say that! Miss Tong is a hero who fights against barbarians and is as brave as any man. Don't say something that could lead to misunderstanding."
Xu Xiaoyan said, "Alas, last time you said that little lover was not your kindred spirit. This time you said that Miss Tong was your kindred spirit. Don't misunderstand me. You have obviously provoked her, but you still don't acknowledge her."
Shi Hao sighed: "In today's world, the world is in chaos, and we don't know what will happen in the future. How can we have time to think about these things?"
Then he looked at Xu Xiaoyan: "Daxing City?"
Xu Xiaoyan turned around, her skirt swaying: "That's right, we are going to Daxing City! Daxing City is one of the most prosperous cities in the world. If you want to make a fortune, go to Daxing City. If you want to get rich, go to Daxing City. You will have the opportunity to buy anything you want in Daxing City, and any information you want may appear there.
"That's where all kinds of people hide, and it's also where many young heroes become famous. If you want to live in seclusion away from the hustle and bustle of the world, go to Daxing City. If you want to become famous at a young age, go to Daxing City."
Shi Hao sighed, "Listening to what you said, it's really exciting. By the way, aren't you the Night Lily from Jiangsu and Zhejiang? It's already strange that you appeared in Xishu, and you've been to Daxing City?"
Xu Xiaoyan said: "I haven't been there!"
Shi Hao looked at her: "Why did you say so much?"
Xu Xiaoyan smiled softly and said, "It's because I've never been there that I want to go and take a look."
Pulling his hand: "Let's go!"
Daxing City was originally the capital of the Sheng Dynasty. In the late Sheng Dynasty, the country was in chaos and it was repeatedly conquered by barbarians and destroyed in wars many times.
After the Jin clan founded the country, they changed the name of Daxing City to "Fengjin City". However, in the mouths of people in the martial arts world, it has always been the Daxing City that represents the prosperous scene of the Sheng Dynasty. As for the name "Fengjin City", no one in the martial arts world has ever used it.
Shi Hao and Xu Xiaoyan changed boats several times on the way and arrived at Daxing City.
Standing outside the gate of Daxing City and looking up, the ten-meter-high city wall looks like wings hanging from the sky, which is spectacular.
The city gate was crowded with people coming and going, and there were many vagrants of all kinds. Although there were soldiers checking at the gate, they were very lax, and there was no procedure at all. At most, they would just glance around and take a few glances at the people coming and going, indicating that they had "checked".
In a big city like this, there are so many people flowing in every day that it is impossible to keep track of them all.
At this moment, Shi Hao and Xu Xiaoyan had returned to their original appearance and easily blended into Daxing City.
Shi Hao looked and saw buildings lined up here. On the streets, there were all kinds of things, and it was extremely lively.
I feel that the busiest market in Jin County is not as good as any random street here.
— Walking along the road, I saw all kinds of people from all over the world. On the street, two groups of people suddenly started fighting, and the people habitually avoided them. In the distance, there were constables and barbarians watching the excitement, and even the people who avoided them just ran away and turned around to watch, as if they had long been accustomed to this scene.
Walking through an alley, I saw magnificent buildings on both sides, with brocades of various colors hanging down. The whole street was magnificent, but for some reason, it was so quiet in broad daylight, with few people on the whole street.
Xu Xiaoyan was certainly not the kind of young lady who knew nothing and had never seen the world. She made a snort and pulled Shi Hao's hand, saying, "Let's go somewhere else." Then she turned around and went somewhere else.
I glanced at him on the way and saw that he was smiling but not saying anything, so I hummed: "Do you really want to come in the evening?"
Shi Hao smiled and said, "Don't accuse me, I didn't say anything."
Xu Xiaoyan said: "You men must all be thinking this way."
Shi Hao said: "Hey, don't label people casually."
