Chapter 245

Two days later, Shen Qianxue and Lu Ming arrived at the foot of Liuli Mountain.

Lu Ming stepped forward and spoke with the disciples guarding the mountain, hoping to see the Lord of Liuli.

Unexpectedly, the disciple informed him that the Lord of Glass had gone out two days ago and his whereabouts were unknown.

Having made a wasted trip, Shen Qianxue was gloomy all over.

"Where do you think she'll go?" Lu Ming asked, wanting to go find her.

"If there are no other tasks, then I can only go find Zhuang Jun."

Shen Qianxue naturally understood Lu Ming's intentions, but now that the three forces were fighting fiercely, many cities were closed off. Lu Ming was alone, without any power or martial arts, making it extremely dangerous and difficult for him to travel in the Central Plains.

Shen Qianxue licked her lips, pondering whether he should go.

He had a slight desire to go, but he also felt extremely frustrated about venturing into the heart of war just to see Su Jin again.

Suddenly, Qu Yi appeared and handed an urgent letter to Shen Qianxue.

The letter came from the Central Plains, saying that Zhou Ji had led a group of men south.

Ji's army retreated to Yuchuan, and Zhuang's army would inevitably pursue them closely. As the leader, why did Zhou Ji leave the army in the face of battle?

Shen Qianxue had a vague feeling that Zhou Ji had come to find her.

"Shall we go back first?"

Seeing that Shen Qianxue's expression was very serious, Lu Ming didn't dare to insist on going to find Su Jinxia. He could only nod and follow Shen Qianxue as they hurried back.

At the same time, Su Jinxia also received intelligence sent back from the front lines.

After Zhou Ji left the camp, Han Qing planned to take advantage of the situation to attack Yu Chuan in one fell swoop, and warned Su Jin to be careful. Zhou Ji's southward journey was most likely to invite Shen Qianxue.

Han Qing was only guessing, but Su Jin was already certain that Zhou Ji's return to Lin Nan at this time must be for Shen Qianxue.

The Ji army was being driven back in defeat after defeat, and only Shen Qianxue could save them.

Su Jin clutched the letter in his hand, a deep unease welling up inside him. Shen Qianxue was not one to turn back easily, and Zhou Ji might use the black mushroom to threaten him. There was no guarantee that the two of them would end up destroying each other.

"Brother Tiger, give me the map!" Su Jin said anxiously.

Su Hu immediately took out a map from his pocket, handed it to Su Jinxia, ​​and reassured her, "According to the time, Zhou Ji has not yet arrived in Linnan, so we still have a chance to intercept him."

Su Jin nodded as she observed the route. There were three routes from Yuchuan to Linnan: one by water, one by main road, and one by side road.

The waterway is inconvenient and requires a transfer, so it's probably impossible.

Compared to the main road, the side road is faster and more concealed, so Su Jinxia believed that Zhou Ji would take this side road.

Su Jin looked at her position again and quickly determined the interception route.

"Brother Tiger, let's go. We must stop Zhou Ji before he enters Linnan and sees Shen Qianxue."

The horse turned its head around, raising a cloud of dust.

Zhou Ji was also rushing back at full speed. Yu Chuan was in grave danger, and only Shen Qianxue could stabilize the situation. Therefore, he had to bring Shen Qianxue back to the battlefield no matter what.

Zhou Ji was very uneasy. He knew Shen Qianxue's personality and he might not be able to persuade her. But he had Black Mushroom. Even if things came to a head, he would still make sure to keep Shen Qianxue and the entire Phoenix Pavilion under his control.

A day later, Zhou Ji finally entered the territory of Linnan. He looked at the distant mountains and seemed to see hope.

With Shen Qianxue leading the troops and Phoenix Pavilion providing intelligence and supplies, he still has hope of turning the tide.

Suddenly, dust billowed from the side, and a group of people galloped towards them.

Zhou Ji's horse was startled, and suddenly reared up on its front hooves, neighing sharply.

Without saying a word, the newcomer leaped off his horse and charged towards Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji was surrounded by many experts who quickly protected him and fought alongside Su Hu and the others.

As the dust settled, Zhou Ji finally saw that the person who had come was Su Jinxia.

He gritted his teeth in hatred, "Su Jinxia, ​​what else do you want to do?"

Su Jin dismounted from her horse but did not rush into the battle. She looked at Zhou Ji and chuckled, "Naturally, I'm here to take your dog's life!"

Zhou Ji was in a panic. The next three words from Su Jin were a nightmare for him.

Even though Zhou Ji's men were all top-notch experts, they were still slightly inferior to Su Hu and the others. Soon, Zhou Ji's men were struggling to defend themselves, while Zhou Ji led his horse far away, afraid that the swords might accidentally pierce him.

Su Jin chuckled softly, then suddenly leaped up and swiftly appeared beside Zhou Ji, kicking him off his horse.

Zhou Ji's body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.

The last guard protecting Zhou Ji only reacted after Zhou Ji had already flown away. He hurriedly drew his sword and rushed towards Su Jin, but a dagger flew straight at him, and the guard hurriedly dodged.

Su Hu slit the throat of one of the men in front of him, flew to the guard, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Your opponent is me!"

With all the guards tied up by the disciples of the Liuli Society, Zhou Ji was left all alone. He got up from the ground, his face pale with fright.

Su Jin walked over calmly, while Zhou Ji was so frightened that he kept backing away.

Because he suffered from a heart condition since childhood and had no one to teach him martial arts, Zhou Ji was nothing more than a weakling who couldn't even kill a chicken.

Su Jin took a step forward, grabbed Zhou Ji's sleeve, and yanked hard, sending Zhou Ji's coat flying.

Zhou Ji will definitely bring the black mushroom with him on this trip, so Su Jin is looking for something.

Zhou Ji realized this as well and subconsciously covered the pocket at his waist.

Su Jin chuckled and kicked Zhou Ji in the waist. Zhou Ji flew out, and a small box flew out of his waist.

Su Jin's eyes lit up, and she spun around to catch the falling box.

"Stop! That's mine!" Zhou Ji shouted in vain, his heart breaking. This was his last trump card!

Su Jin opened the box and saw that it was indeed a black mushroom. She smiled knowingly, finally she got it!

Suddenly, a flash of silver light appeared before their eyes, and Zhou Ji pulled out an automatic firing device from between his legs, with several silver needles shooting towards Su Jin.

Su Jin reacted quickly, immediately bending over and lowering her body to dodge the silver needles.

However, that wasn't all. Zhou Ji's hidden weapons could be fired multiple times in a row, and he aimed at Su Jin and shot out silver needles one after another.

Fortunately, Zhou Ji was slow, and Su Jinxia managed to dodge each time, finally landing about five meters away from him.

Zhou Ji's body went completely limp; he couldn't even deal with Su Jinxia with his life-saving hidden weapon!

However, just as Su Jinxia landed, a small knife-shaped hidden weapon flew towards her from a distance.

The hidden weapon was thrown out with extremely strong internal force, and its speed was extremely fast.

Su Jin's perception had deteriorated significantly, and she was focused on Zhou Ji. She didn't realize the hidden weapon was very close to her until it was right behind her. Before she could judge the direction of the weapon behind her, she turned around in a panic and was still hit in the chest.

"Ah Jin!"

"Ah Jin!"

Two calls came in quick succession, one from Su Hu and the other from Lu Ming.

Indeed, Lu Ming and Shen Qianxue rushed out from around the corner and witnessed Su Jin throwing a hidden weapon.
