The night wind was howling outside the temple, and with the influx of men in black, the atmosphere became extremely tense!
Several men in black held weapons and looked around fiercely!
"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in the capital!" Su Jinyue spoke, trying to intimidate these uninvited guests.
The leading black-clad man sneered, "Stop talking nonsense! We're looking for you! If you surrender obediently, you might suffer less!"
Su Jinyue pursed her lips tightly, her eyes firm.
She looked at Ruan Liuzheng beside her and had an idea in her mind.
"Since there is no way to avoid it, we might as well take the initiative to deal with it."
She whispered to Xiao Duo, "Let's stabilize these people first and find a chance to escape."
Xiao Duo nodded and turned his gaze toward the door. "It seems that this is the only way. But these people are very skilled, so we must be careful."
The man in black seemed a little impatient and waved his hand to signal his men to come forward!
A tall man in black suddenly leaped up, and slashed at Qin Qiong with the long knife in his hand flashing with a cold light!
“Be careful!”
Su Jinyue shouted, Qin Qiong quickly dodged and drew the sword from his waist to fight with him!
The sound of metal colliding echoed in the silent ruined temple, stirring up a cloud of dust!
"There are so many of them, we must find an opportunity to distract them."
Xiao Duo said in a deep voice, his eyes sweeping across the surrounding environment, "Jin Yue, your medical skills and poisons should be able to help."
Su Jinyue's eyes flashed with determination, "Leave it to me."
At this moment, noisy footsteps were heard outside the temple again...
Several people passing by the ruined temple were attracted by the commotion and couldn't help but stick their heads out to watch.
"What's going on?" a trembling voice asked, with fear in its voice.
"It seems like someone is fighting in Liang City!" The people nearby also looked around curiously, but soon turned pale with fright.
The men in black were obviously dissatisfied with these unexpected onlookers. One of them shouted, "Get out of here right now! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
"Silver Eagle is doing this, if you want to live, get out now!"
The few people who had just been there quickly stepped aside, turned around and ran, not daring to stay any longer!
At this time, Su Jinyue had quietly held a bottle of poison in her hand, waiting for the right time to use it!
Qin Qiong saw her intention immediately. He made a feint with his sword, deliberately leaving a flaw, thus luring the tall man in black to attack more fiercely!
At this critical moment, Su Jinyue took the opportunity to spread out a cloud of smoke!
"Hold your breath!"
She loudly warned several people, and then quickly pulled Ruan Liuzheng to hide behind the Buddha statue.
In an instant, the entire dilapidated temple was shrouded in thick smoke, and the choking smell was unbearable!
Those men in clothing were caught off guard, and were irritated by the smoke, causing them to cough and gasp, and then fell to the ground one after another!
Taking advantage of the chaos, Su Jinyue, Xiao Duo and Qin Qiong quickly rushed out from the back door of the temple!
"It's safe here for now, but we can't stay here for long."
Qin Qiong looked around and said, "We need to find a place to hide and plan our next move."
Su Jinyue nodded, "I am familiar with Liang City. There are several places where we can hide."
"But our first plan now is to get out of Liang City!"
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard in the distance, and it was obvious that more pursuers were about to arrive!
"We must leave as soon as possible." Xiao Duo said with a frown.
Su Jinyue glanced at Ruan Liuzheng, who was seriously injured beside her, and said, "But she looks like this..." The implication was that she was worried that she would not be able to sustain the journey for too long.
Qin Qiong said to them: "You try to save her first, we will try to delay the time."
"Yes!" Su Jinyue nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Then he turned to Xiao Duo and said, "Let's go hide in Xiaoyao Tower first. After she treats her wound, we will make plans."
Before he finished speaking, the footsteps were getting closer!
Qin Qiong tightly grasped his sword and said, "You go first, I'll block them here!"
Xiao Duo nodded hesitantly, then quickly disappeared into the darkness with Su Jinyue and the seriously injured Ruan Liuzheng.
As their figures disappeared into the night, all that was left was the chaos in front of the ruins of the dilapidated temple and the increasingly loud noise!
The night was as dark as ink and there was silence all around, with only the sound of hurried footsteps echoing in the air.
Su Jinyue and others had just left not long ago when the footsteps were already approaching the ruined temple.
The leader was a man in black with murderous eyes.
"Where are they?" he asked coldly, looking around, trying to catch any clues.
A subordinate nearby responded quickly: "Boss, they should be nearby, but we were knocked unconscious by a puff of smoke and lost track of them!"
The black-clothed man frowned even more tightly, "Useless! Several people can't catch up! Keep looking!"
The remaining men in black quickly dispersed and began to search the surroundings, their cautious and nervous expressions clearly revealed.
At this time Qin Qiong retreated back into the temple. He took a deep breath, tightly gripped the sword in his hand, and protected his retreat route.
Just try to delay the time as much as possible!
Just as he was preparing to fight, he suddenly heard a childish cry behind him.
Qin Qiong frowned and looked back, only to see a little boy standing in panic behind the Buddha statue in the temple. He was obviously frightened by the scene!
When the men in black heard the crying, they immediately followed the sound!
"Catch him, no matter who he is, take him back!"
Qin Qiong's eyes flashed coldly, and he rushed over like lightning, blocking the child. "You didn't even let such a young child go!"
The child choked and seemed to realize something. He pulled Qin Qiong's sleeve and said, "Big brother...save me..."
However, the leader in black was unmoved. He waved his hand and said, "Go! Get rid of that person who's in the way! No one can be left alive tonight!"
Several men in black immediately pounced forward, and Qin Qiong swung his sword to fight back with fierce and swift movements!
He acted quickly, kicking the first attacker away, and at the same time, with a flick of his right hand, his sword pierced through the shoulder of another man in black!
The crows in the roadside trees were startled and flew away, cackling.
The leader in black had a livid face and roared, "Don't hold back, kill him as soon as possible!"
But Qin Qiong did not stay for long. He fought while protecting the child and retreated. Finally, he successfully escaped from the encirclement of the men in black with the child.
At the same time, Su Jinyue and Xiao Duo were still running away, listening to the movements around them as they ran.
"The Xiaoyao Tower is just ahead!"
Su Jinyue panted and said, "We can hide there for a while."
