"Junior Brother Yan, what can you see?" Xuan Yu next to him asked.
Yan Li nodded, moved his fingers across the three villages, and then said, "Did you notice that these three massacred villages all have a common characteristic?"
"What characteristics?"
Everyone stared at the map, but didn't see anything. They couldn't help but look at Yan Li in confusion.
"All three villages are close to this Junshan Mountain. It is very likely that the murderer is hiding among them." Yan Li said slowly.
Magistrate He's eyes lit up, he patted his thigh and said, "Young Master Yan's analysis is reasonable. There is often miasma in Junshan, and most people would not easily step into it. Therefore, the county soldiers actively ignored Junshan when searching for the murderer." But. His face immediately darkened again, "But Junshan is huge and filled with miasma. Even if we send all the county soldiers into it, it will be difficult to search for the opponent's whereabouts."
Yan Li smiled slightly, "Now that we know where the murderer is hiding, it will be much easier! You see, there are three villages near Junshan. If the murderer strikes again, he will most likely choose one of these three villages. As long as we Laying traps in three villages..."
"Good! Young Master Yan is really smart." Magistrate He couldn't help but praise.
Hearing Magistrate He's praise, everyone in Aohan Palace showed unhappy expressions.
Later, County Magistrate He called everyone together and explained Yan Li's analysis to everyone. Zong Han from Aohan Palace deliberately questioned, "What if the murderer doesn't come to these three villages?"
Regarding Zong Han's deliberate trouble-making, Xuan Yu was not polite at all and said sarcastically: "Since you don't believe Junior Brother Yan's speculation, why don't you speculate and see which village the murderer will appear in!"
"… you… !"
Zong Han couldn't help but his face darkened and he didn't know how to answer. In fact, he agreed with Yan Li's speculation in his heart. He just didn't want the people of Dahuang Palace to be in the limelight, so he deliberately questioned it.
"Why can't you say it? Since you can't say it, don't question others casually!" Xuan Yu couldn't help but be very happy when he saw Zong Han's deflated look.
"snort!"
Zong Han snorted and stopped answering.
Magistrate He was a little troubled by the rivalry between the two sides, but neither Dahuang Palace nor Aohan Palace could be provoked by a small magistrate like him.
The three villages are called Jiang Village, Li Village and Wang Village respectively. After discussion, the people from Aohan Palace were in charge of Jiang Village, and the people from Dahuang Palace were in charge of Li Village. As for Wang Village, the county magistrate led a group of experts from the county. Go for an ambush.
In order not to alert others, everyone decided to set out at night, because the murderer always carried out the killings after midnight.
When night falls.
The five people from Dahuang Palace went straight to Li Village.
The five of them were all powerful in the Xuan Realm and had extremely strong body-lighting skills. In less than an hour, they had arrived at Wang Village and were ambushing in five directions of the village.
Time passed slowly, there was no moon tonight, the night was getting darker and darker, the villagers in the village had all taken a rest, and only a few barking dogs could be heard in the quiet village.
The night wind blew by, making the hanging leaves rustle.
Yan Li hid himself in a patch of grass and listened carefully to the movements around him.
"Gu Gu."
The sound sounded like a bird chirping, but it was a code agreed upon between the five people, indicating that everything was normal.
"Goo!"
Yan Li responded, and then three "bird calls" came from other directions.
The hour was almost over, but the murderer still didn't show up, and Xuan Yu and others felt a little impatient.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a sound broke through the air, and a black shadow rushed into the village at an extremely fast speed.
It can kill hundreds of villagers in a very short time. Therefore, Yan Li has long speculated that the murderer cannot be one person. Therefore, on the way there, he reminded Xuan Yu and the others not to act rashly if there is only one murderer.
Xuan Yu, who was ambushing around, was a little excited when he saw the black shadow appear. However, he remembered Yan Li's words and did not rush in rashly.
The black shadow wandered around the village, found nothing, and left quickly.
"It seems like this guy is a pathfinder!"
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Yan Li's mouth. Judging from the other party's cultivation level, he should only be a Yuan Yuan realm warrior.
Half a quarter of an hour later, a group of figures cut through the night sky and ran into the village quickly. Counting carefully, there were actually twenty-eight people.
And judging from the auras emanating from these black figures, they are actually Xuan Realm warriors.
"Now we're in trouble!"
Yan Li frowned and said to himself, there were only five of them, so they did not have an advantage in numbers.
While hesitating, these men in black had already begun to break into the villagers' homes and started killing. When Yan Li saw this, he could no longer bear it, and rushed into the village with a sway.
This group of men in black, working in groups of two, massacred the villagers, and they also had a strange gourd in their hands. After killing the villagers, if they pointed it at their corpses, the gourd would automatically drain the blood of the villagers.
"Clang!"
Suddenly, Yan Li heard the sound of fighting, presumably Xuan Yu and others had already taken action.
Thinking of this, he rushed into a private house and met two men in black after the killing.
A strong murderous intention flashed in Yan Li's eyes, and he rushed towards the two people in a flash. At the same time, the edgeless sword in his hand flew out.
Shadow Thorn! ! !
The power of the improved Shadow Thorn is greatly increased, and hundreds of sword energy are sprayed out at extremely fast speeds.
Caught off guard, two men in black were hit one after another and injured!
"court death!"
The two injured men in black suddenly became furious and rushed towards them with shouts of laughter, but a disdainful smile flashed across Yan Li's lips.
Heavy! ! !
The edgeless sword drew a strange arc in the air, and the two men in black who flew forward felt their bodies sink suddenly, and their bodies staggered.
However, at this moment, two stunning sword lights flashed past.
"Puff!"
Two heads flew up.
"Gurgling!"
Yan Li added two swords to the corpses of the two men again, sucking away their essence, blood and vitality. With a move in his heart, he picked up the gourds on their bodies and put them into the Hunyuan space.
"Ah! Please don't!"
A young woman hugged her two-year-old son in fear and begged two men in black for mercy.
The two men in black did not relent because of each other's begging for mercy, and slashed down with cold eyes.
"stop!"
A figure flew over and blocked the woman in an instant.
"when!"
With the sound of gold and iron clashing, the man in black was knocked away.
"Whoosh!"
Shadow Thorn! ! !
Hundreds of dense sword energy flew out, instantly turning the opponent into a hedgehog. When the other person saw this, he let out a loud roar and thrust out his sword.
"die!"
Empty stab! ! !
As soon as the phantom flashed, Yan Li's long sword pierced the opponent's throat.
After killing the two people, he left quickly. At this moment, he had a clear understanding of his own strength. He could kill warriors in the Earth Xuan realm instantly. The four people he had killed so far were all in the Earth Xuan realm, so it was very easy.
Suddenly, an extremely sharp howl sounded in the village.
When Yan Li heard this, he secretly knew something was wrong. Sure enough, as soon as he rushed out of the courtyard, he found that a large number of figures shot out of other courtyards and then gathered together.
