Chapter 48 - Man in cloak
As soon as Li Qingniu’s voice fell, Fenggu Zhengyun had already appeared in his line of sight. He just turned around slightly, and came in front of him.
“Junior brother, is she okay, junior sister?” Fenggu Zhengyun asked concerned.
Li Qingniu said: “I checked it, but I was knocked out temporarily, and I will wake up as soon as I sleep.”
“Well, that’s fine.” As he said, Fenggu Zhengyun inadvertently saw the pile of human heads rolling on the ground, and the man in black who had no head but was still standing there like a stone pillar, couldn’t help but raised his eyebrows slightly: “Junior Brother, these people…you killed them?”
Li Qingniu nodded and said, “Well, I didn’t want to kill them, but they refused to say anything when I asked them. And I was eager to find someone and didn’t want to deal with them, so I had to let them shut up as I wish.”
Seeing what Li Qingniu said was not hurry, it seemed that he was telling something unimportant. Feng Gu Zhengyun knew that he was telling the truth, and he did not make the slightest excuse, as if from his point of view, this is a very important thing. For normal things, there is no need to argue at all.
In Fenggu Zhengyun’s view, this may be a kind of simplicity, but it seems that it is a little insensitive to simplicity.
However, after thinking about it, the other party dispatched eight groups of personnel to escape in eight different directions in order to take Murong Lanyu away to disturb one’s own line of sight. If they were to deal with it like their own, once they fell into their delaying tactics, it might be Murong. Lan Yu no longer knows where he was taken, and may even have been killed.
It was because of Li Qingniu’s decisive action that, under the enemy’s tightly divided deployment, the predicament was rescued in time.
“Hey.” Thinking of this, Feng Gu Zhengyun sighed. He didn’t know whether he should blame Li Qingniu for his improper behavior. At least he could just subdue them without hurting his life.
Seeing this, Li Qingniu asked, “Why do you sigh, brother? Don’t you think I should kill them?”
Feng Gu Zhengyun shook his head and said: “I don’t know if you are doing it right or wrong, but sometimes it is a kind of compassion to give people a way to survive.”
“But I have seen many compassionate people who are oppressed by the wicked. The deaf mother told me that being compassionate to the wicked is cruel to herself. I just don’t want the wicked to run rampant.”
Feng Gu Zhengyun was silent for a moment and said: “Maybe you are right, everyone’s growth environment is different, and their understanding and cognition of things are also different. I don’t have the right to blame you. Let’s send the younger sister back soon. Lest everyone is worried.”
“Ok.”
In the dense forest of high hills in the distance, the man in black led by the Eighteen Thieves stood on the top of the hill, waiting for the triumphant return of his companions.
Suddenly the wind blew sharply, and amid the rustling sound, two figures appeared behind him, one from the left and the other from the right.
“Why are only the two of you back? How about the others?”
“I don’t know, I met a master, he should be very strong, but fortunately, he was eager to save people and didn’t catch up, otherwise it would be difficult to get rid of the drag.” The man in black on the left replied.
The leader said: “It seems that a person who can make you compliment a very strong person is not easy.”
The man in black on the right continued: “Well, I played against him head-on. His strength really should not be underestimated. If I get entangled in it, I have no chance of winning, but it is not surprising. The Sky Star Zong originally was specially trained for masters. Place, wait a minute, maybe they all encountered different masters and were temporarily held back.”
“Yeah.” The leader nodded and said again: “But what I care more about is that the fifth child has not returned yet. I am a little worried. He is acting alone, just in case…”
The man in black on the left said: “It shouldn’t be. The fifth child’s underwater skill is amazing. Once he dives into the river, it is difficult to be easily spotted.”
The leader said: “But he will always come out. We will divide the forces into eight directions. In addition to disturbing their sight, but also to divide their power, so that even if they catch up with you, they can’t easily catch you because of the scattered power, and You all have companions to take care of, but the fifth child is…”
The man in black on the right thought for a while and said: “This is no way. He has to take hostages. If the other team is composed of two people, and only his team is composed of three people, it will be eye-catching, but he left. It’s a waterway, and few people can think of it.”
“Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, I think it’s better for you two to catch up.”
“Okay, let’s go over and take a look.”
After the two men in black had finished speaking, they leaped back and disappeared under the night sky again, leaving only the sound of the rustling wind and the leader of the eighteen thieves on the post, waiting for news.
After a while, there were footsteps behind the man in black, but he was very familiar with the voice of his companion, so even if he didn’t look back, he knew who was coming.
“I will send it to you when someone comes back, so why be so anxious.”
The man in the cloak walked slowly behind the man in black, Xie Xie smiled and said: “Oh? Is it because I am in a hurry or is your heart upset? Don’t worry, I’m not here to urge you, I’m just here to see your progress. Where is it, but it doesn’t seem to be going well.”
The black man said: “Don’t worry, you will encounter interceptions on the road at most, so you will come back later. Don’t forget that the opponent is the Sky Star Sect. Naturally, they will have to spend some tricks to deal with them. Anyway, I will definitely send it to you. Just wait with peace of mind.”
“Hehehe, okay, then I’ll wait and see, but I want to remind you that there is one of them who cannot be described with normal thinking and understanding.”
The man in black raised his eyebrows and said, “Oh? Unspeakable person?”
“There is a strange power in his body. If my information is correct, it seems that he has deposited an ancient spirit body, so he can always defeat people who seem to be stronger than him by surprise.”
“Why didn’t you say it earlier?”
The cloak man chuckled and said, “Does it matter? Even the Sky Star Sect dared to move. A mere brat frightened you?”
The man in black snorted: “A joke, how can I be so easily frightened? Eighteen thieves join forces to attack, even if you want a starry sky master.”
“Then I hope they can join hands with you.”
“What do you mean by this?”
As soon as his words fell, without waiting for the man in the cloak to answer, he rushed from a distance with another rustling sound, his voice was urgent and heavy, and seemed extremely flustered.
This made him frown again and looked at where the sound was coming from.
The two men in black who had just left were rushing here, one carrying a heavy-looking marijuana bag on his shoulder, and the other seemed to be carrying a person on his shoulder.
The two rushed to each other and put down the things on their shoulders.
When the leader of the man in black saw that one of them was a dead body without a head, he felt his heart tight and tight, and he blurted out, “This is…”
One of them hung his head and said with a lonely expression: “It’s the fifth child. When we found him, his head was already…already…”
The head of the man in black felt immediately struck by lightning, and then he looked at the other person and said, “What’s in it?”
“Yes Yes…”
Seeing that he hesitated and couldn’t speak for a long time, the head of the man in black felt that the matter would be serious, and he pushed the man in black away and shook the mouth of the sackcloth down.
Thump… thump…
One by one, the human heads were contaminated with blood, and it was difficult to distinguish their true colors. They rolled out of the inside, and immediately fell to the ground.
With fifteen heads in total, the head in black saw the scene in front of him, his fists clenched in anger, and his body trembled unconsciously.
“How could this be? What happened?”
“We don’t know either. When we found the old fifth by the river, he stood motionless. He had no head anymore. When we searched for its head, we found other people’s heads beside him. Personally, fifteen heads, one…a lot.”
“How is it possible? We are divided into many ways. Even if one or two powerful players among them, it is impossible to intercept and kill all of us back and forth in such a short period of time. Even me, I don’t have such a fast speed. What’s more, one of them has been delayed by you for a while, I don’t believe it, are they all already at the starry sky level?”
The black-clothed leader seemed to think of something suddenly, and turned his head and gave the cloaked man a fierce look.
If the information he gave him was correct, there were only one or two masters who were close to the starry sky among those people, and he would definitely not be able to damage so many people.
The cloak man laughed and said: “What? Are you suspecting that my intelligence is wrong? I can assure you that there are no more than four masters in their entire team with Xingyue and above.”
“Then how do you explain the current situation?”
The man in the cloak made a wicked voice and said, “Eh? Is it me who should explain? Don’t forget the promise you made with me before. Your own people are not capable of doing things well. You should find someone you want to talk to. Is it me?”
The man in black clenched his fists tightly. If not only a trace of reason was left to suppress the anger in his heart, he was afraid that he would have long waited to blow the cloaked man’s head with a punch.
“Boss, I checked their wounds, and it is almost certain that the same technique was used to remove their heads, so it is very likely that they were alone.”
The black-clothed leader frowned and said in disbelief: “The same person? Impossible, there can be no one in the world with such a fast speed.”
The man in black on the right reminded: “Boss, have you forgotten that person?”
“You mean him? Impossible. He has disappeared a long time ago. There are even more rumors that he is dead.”
The man in black on the left hesitated and said, “But in case the rumors are wrong, he is not dead yet…”
“Even if he is still alive, there is no reason to have anything to do with the Sky Star Sect. Why should he help the people of the Sky Star Sect?”
The man in black on the right said: “We can only know everything if we find the murderer of the fifth and the other.”
“Hmm…” The man in the cloak suddenly let out a mocking laugh.
The leader in black turned angrily to the man in the cloak and asked, “What are you laughing at?”
