138. Dispersion

The river water in winter was icy cold, freezing Chen Ji's thoughts to a halt. The cold water seemed to rush into Chen Ji's body and freeze his heart.

The moment he jumped into the river, he looked up in the water and saw the sunlight shining into the river surface. The light beams formed by the Tyndall effect looked like crystals, but without temperature.

Some people wanted to take advantage of the literary gathering at Luhun Villa to ambush and kill Bai Li and the prince, and then take the opportunity to put the blame on the victims of the Longwangtun bandits.

The other party had planned very well, but they overlooked Prince Jing's incognito tour and a small apprentice in the medical clinic.

Who wants to kill Baili and the prince?

Concubine Yun...or Concubine Jing?

Chen Ji floated to the surface of the river and swam towards the other side while looking back.

The fisherman on the black-sailed boat took off his straw hat and slowly untied his straw raincoat, revealing his agile figure.

The middle-aged man stood at the bow of the boat, like an experienced hunter, his eyes fixed on the river.

On the black-sailed boat, there was a piece of yellow talisman paper with mysterious and complex symbols painted on it with cinnabar.

A strong wind pushed the black-sailed boat forward, and it moved very fast even without oars.

The wind blew the talisman paper, making a rustling sound.

But the talisman paper seemed to be nailed to the awning and could not be scraped off no matter what.

The white carp, the prince, and Zhang Xia swam forward madly.

Blood, life, and the flash of swords stimulated their adrenaline and their lips began to tremble with fear.

But as Baili was swimming, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She turned around abruptly, but there was no trace of Chen Ji behind them.

Only the killers were left crossing the water with knives in their mouths.

There will be murderous intent on the black-sailed boat.

She shouted loudly: "Chen Ji, where are you?"

The prince also floated on the river and roared, "Chen Ji?"

However, no one responded to them, and their shouts seemed to sink to the bottom of the river.

Bai Li took a deep breath: "He went back."

Zhang Xia asked in surprise, "Going back? What does that mean? Going back at this time is like committing suicide."

The prince said solemnly, "He must have gone back to buy us some time."

Zhang Xia hesitated. She didn't understand what the prince meant. The apprentice in the medical clinic, who everyone said was a gambler, actually swam back to buy them time.

But she discovered that Bai Li and the prince never doubted that Chen Ji had drowned or escaped alone.

Zhang Xia thought for a moment and said, "Should we go back and save him? He definitely can't face so many assassins alone!"

The prince was about to swim back, but Baili held him tightly: "Let's continue swimming to the other side..."

Zhang Xia was puzzled: "Are you going to abandon his mother?"

Bai Li looked at her suddenly and said in a serious tone, "If we don't leave now, all the time he bought for us will be wasted."

Zhang Xia asked, "What if he was killed?"

The white carp did not answer, but turned around and swam hard to the other side.

…

The killers swam with knives in their mouths, and in a blink of an eye they found that there was one less prey in front of them.

"Find him."

The killer dived into the water first to search.

The moment his gaze shifted from the river surface into the river water, Chen Ji's thin and calm face suddenly appeared before him.

The killer was horrified and his heart seemed to skip a beat.

Before he could take the long knife out of his mouth, Chen Ji had already reached out and grabbed his hair, pulling the two of them closer.

A flash of knife light flashed underwater, and the short knife in Chen Ji's hand cut the opponent's throat cleanly and neatly.

Bubbles and blood gushed out of his neck, and the killer felt that the air in his lungs was out of control and was rushing away.

However, Chen Ji did not stop. He cut open the opponent's aorta in both arms and stabbed him in the heart.

A large amount of blood dyed the river red and made it turbid, and no one could see what was happening here.

Chen Ji quickly withdrew his hand, turned around and kicked the killer in the chest, kicking the killer into the bottom of the river.

After a person dies, they will quickly sink to the bottom of the river and will not float until three to seven days later due to the gas produced by the decaying substances in the intestines.

When the killers saw bubbles on the river surface, they dived into the water and swam towards this place.

They searched for traces of figures in the thick blood.

But when the blood was washed away by the river, there was no one there.

One of the killers turned around and looked around, only to see Chen Ji clinging to the bottom of the speeding black-sailed boat, with the short knife in his hand chiseling into the bottom of the boat along the grain of the wood.

The killer then realized that Chen Ji's purpose from the beginning was to destroy the ship.

Among the people who need to be killed, this one is obviously the least noticeable.

But this is the most difficult one.

Every time the short knife in Chen Ji's hand stabbed the bottom of the boat, it would chisel off a lot of wood chips.

He suddenly kicked his legs hard and floated to the surface to breathe.

The moment he showed his head, he saw a paper talisman flying towards him.

He dodged suddenly, and the yellow talisman paper was like a knife, cutting a gash in his left arm.

Chen Ji ignored the officer on the ship and resolutely sank into the bottom of the ship to drill into it.

After waiting for a few breaths, I didn't see the officer go into the water to chase him.

Chen Ji suddenly understood and the other party did not dare to go into the water rashly.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Sawdust scattered everywhere.

However, before Chen Ji could get away, the black-sailed boat stopped chasing Bai Li and the prince, and instead changed direction, carrying Chen Ji towards the twenty or so assassins.

The killers sank into the water, took out the long knives from their mouths, and waited for Chen Ji to fall into their trap.

They were getting closer and closer, and the eyes of more than 20 killers were grim.

In a hurry, Chen Ji struck hard, and the short knife he brought out from the clinic broke in the middle, and the tip of the knife sank to the bottom of the river.

He suddenly turned around and looked at the killer who was waiting with bated breath.

The hair on his forehead and temples was floating in the river.

The midday sun shines into the river, like the last moment of life.

The killers saw Chen Ji suddenly stop moving.

Have you given up?

No.

They found that the apprentice in the medical clinic was exceptionally calm.

The killers were waiting for Chen Ji to come to them, and Chen Ji was also waiting.

Wait for a moment for the roar.

The next moment, the fire in Chen Ji's body began to burn vigorously. One, two, three... fifteen.

The fires seemed to roar in a way that only he could hear.

The roar came from ten thousand years ago across the long river of time.

During these ten thousand years, the vast expanse of land turned into mulberry fields, and the mountains and rivers collapsed into plains.

The world is broken, but I will not be extinguished.

Chen Ji threw a powerful punch at the hole he had dug in the bottom of the boat, creating a crack in the broken wood with one blow.

The river water poured into the boat, and he did not hesitate to get out of the boat. After floating to the surface to take a breath, he immediately dived back into the river and swam towards the killers like an arrow.

As soon as they came into contact, one of the killers swung his knife, but as the blade reached Chen Ji, Chen Ji clamped it in his palms and snatched the knife away with just a slight shake.

Before the killer could react, the long knife had already swept across his neck.

Just when Chen Ji was about to kill again, he saw a yellow talisman paper flying into the river, as straight as a blade.

He tried to turn his head, and the yellow talisman paper scratched his cheek, leaving a fine wound, and blood oozed from the wound.

The yellow talisman paper continued to move forward and actually penetrated straight into the dark bottom of the river.

Chen Ji was shocked and immediately swam to the deeper part of the river, no longer wanting to fight.

On the river bank, Baili, the prince and Zhang Xia walked on the pebbles and slowly waded to the shore.

The cold wind felt like it was blowing into the bones.

Instead of leaving, they turned back and looked towards the center of the river.

The scholars on the other side of the river were protecting Prince Jing, killing and retreating towards Yichuan County.

The scholars surrounded Prince Jing tightly, and no assassin could get close.

Prince Jing wanted to rush into the river, but was held back by a scholar.

Prince Jing shouted at Baili across the wide river, but they were too far apart and Baili could not hear what his father said.

On the other side, Chen Wenxiao ran alone towards Luhun Villa.

Chen Wenzong followed behind with Wang Daosheng on his back, panting. No killer wasted time on them.

At this time, Zhang Xia asked in confusion: "Look, why is that black-sailed boat parked in the middle of the river?"

Bai Li whispered, "Chen Ji!"

Zhang Xia looked at Bai Li in surprise.

The prince shouted, "Look, the ship is tilting and seems to be sinking."

"There's blood in the river."

Bai Li pursed his lips as he watched the scene. It must be Chen Ji who found a way to sink the ship.

But what about the traces?

The blood in the river...is it old?

After waiting for a long time, she still couldn't see Chen Ji's figure on the river, and her heart gradually sank.

Bai Li turned to leave, and the prince asked, "Where are you going?"

Bai Li wiped the water off his face and said stubbornly: "Go find Qiansuijun and seek revenge."

The prince took a deep breath and said, "We don't know who we are seeking revenge on or who wants to kill us."

Just as he finished speaking, they heard the sound of water coming from the shore. The three of them turned their heads at the same time, only to see Chen Ji wading ashore with a long knife in his mouth, breathing heavily and looking extremely exhausted.

With a clang, the long knife landed on the pebbles on the riverbank.

Bai Li was startled at first, then took two quick steps forward and said, "Chen Ji, are you hurt?"

"I'm fine."

Chen Ji said, "Hurry up and go to Luhun Villa. There are people from the Taoist Temple and the Buddhist sect there. I believe the killers won't dare to act recklessly."

The prince looked at him and hesitated: "Your face?"

Chen Ji touched his face and saw a cut about an inch long. "It's nothing serious, just a minor wound."

Strangely, in less than half an incense stick of time, the wounds on his left arm and face stopped bleeding.

He suddenly remembered what he had asked Xuanyuan yesterday: What would happen if the fire in the furnace was all lit and turned white?

Xuanyuan replied: Immortality and indestructibility.

But if that’s the case, how did I die in the past?

At this time, Chen Ji looked back at the center of the river on the shore, and saw that the officer was still standing at the bow of the boat, staring at him quietly, and he didn't care even though the boat was tilting.

At a certain moment, he was a little confused. When he was delaying time underwater, the killers did not split up to hunt down Bai Li and the prince. This was not in line with the killers' habit.

Unless, he is also one of the targets. Or, is he the real target?

Chen Ji turned and left, "Let's go, this ambush is not over yet!"

On the other side of the river, dark clouds quietly walked out of the woods and looked at the deserted riverbank.

It looked at the backs of Chen Ji and others turning away, hesitated for a moment, and probed the river water with its claws.

So cool.

The dark cloud had never brought water, and it didn't know how to cross the river and reunite with Chen Ji.

But it knows.

Chen Ji now needs the molten flow from its body to ignite the remaining fifteen fires.

This is important.

After thinking it over again and again, Wuyun decided to be a little harder on himself and swam to the other side of the river.

Just as it was about to go into the water, the sound of horse hooves was heard behind it. Zhang Xia's chestnut horse "Zao Zao" stepped into the water without hesitation and swam to the other side.

Wuyun's eyes lit up, and he lightly jumped onto Zaozao's head and meowed, "Very fierce."
