Chapter 53 Surprise Rescue!
Shen Qing suddenly pushed Xiao Qihao behind the collapsed brick wall, and rotten wood debris fell on their shoulders.
The back that had been rubbed by the chain while sprinting just now was burning with pain. The blood-soaked underwear was stuck to the wound, and every breath pulled at the flesh.
Xiao Qihao curled up in the shadows, his pale knuckles pressing tightly against his abdomen, where the blood that had seeped out was dyeing the moon-white brocade into dark red.
"Shh, it hurts so much..."
This group of people are very good at using all means of deception. It started out as one person chasing them, then it became two people, and now it is a group of people chasing them.
"They are here to kill us..."
Xiao Qihao himself had little practical experience, and Shen Qing's body had not yet recovered, so he was forced into a state of embarrassment.
From outside the alley came the sound of leather boots trampling puddles, and the sound of chattering mixed with sinister smiles floated over.
"Search separately! We must find the person alive or the body dead!"
Dozens of footsteps slithered like poisonous snakes, weaving a web in the empty alley.
Shen Qing held his breath, tightly grasped the long sword at his waist that had already been chipped, and rubbed the blood scab on the sword guard with his fingertips.
Yeluvis was really ruining him. Even fighting was so strenuous for him.
When Shen Qingze thought of Yeluweisi, he became furious.
Where on earth did that person go? If he doesn't come to save the beauty, she might become a widow in the future!
Xiao Qihao suddenly started coughing violently, and Shen Qing quickly covered his mouth.
Warm blood oozed from the fingers, emitting a strange luster under the moonlight.
The footsteps of the pursuers were suddenly approaching, but Shen Qing pressed the man against the moldy brick wall, not even noticing the broken rubble pressing against his back.
"Tsk, where did you go?"
The leading man in black kicked away the paper lantern at his feet, and the dim candlelight flickered in front of Shen Qingze's eyes.
He looked at the nearly pure white mask on the man's face, his nails almost digging into Xiao Qihao's shoulders.
The person in his arms was shaking like a dead leaf, his clothes soaked with cold sweat sticking to his hot skin.
"Don't be afraid..."
The two held their breath and concentrated. Xiao Qihao closed his eyes tightly, trying his best to suppress his muffled voice.
When the footsteps of the pursuers finally faded away, Shen Qing slumped to the ground, and Xiao Qihao slid weakly to his side. The rapid breathing of the two was particularly harsh in the silent alley.
Sporadic sounds of phosphorus bursts were heard in the distance, illuminating the mess on the ground. Two embarrassed and huddled figures were huddled like a lone boat in the blood and fog.
"Teacher Shen, is it exciting?"
Xiao Qihao's playful smile made his bloodstained face look extremely miserable.
His injuries were not shallow. He had been kicked by Shen Qingze in order to save him.
This time he was probably injured inside, and it would be much more troublesome to recover from the injury in the future. Moreover, the Yin Qi from the underworld would continue to invade his body over time, and his injury could not remain in the underworld for long.
Shen Qingze was not much better. Both of them were injured to varying degrees and had difficulty speaking.
"What a thrill. If you want to pursue excitement, go to the amusement park and ride the roller coaster."
"Roller coasters are nothing like this. I feel my adrenaline rushing, and I'm about to turn into Superman."
Xiao Qihao was still joking in a weak tone, and Shen Qing was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry about him.
After he left, before he had time to ask Xiao Qihao what happened,
"Are there any new developments?"
Xiao Qihao moved his body, found a place where his butt wouldn't get hurt, and said calmly,
"Yes, later my uncle went back to the police station and checked all the surveillance cameras in that area. He confirmed that the car that was hit was indeed a private car from another place. It was expensive, so it must have belonged to a wealthy person, but we haven't found out who the owner is yet,"
"The car that was hit was a taxi. There was only the driver in the car at the time, no passengers. We found the taxi dispatch list for that day from the taxi company and confirmed that the driver's name was Huang Nan."
Could it be that the taxi hitting the rich man's private car was really related to his previous speculation about taxi drivers taking private orders?
"Then what?"
Xiao Qihao gasped softly, and Shen Qing noticed that his abdomen was bleeding, so he quickly pulled the belt around his waist to bandage him.
Xiao Qihao took a few breaths slowly, his breath was so short that it was frightening. He continued,
"Later, my uncle and I sent you many messages, but you didn't reply. My uncle started to suspect that you were being targeted and something bad had happened to you,"
"I'm close to you, and he's worried about me running around, so he takes me to the police station every day,"
"All we can find out now is the vehicle that had the accident that day. My uncle has communicated with Huang Nan's family and calmed them down, but they seemed to have anticipated it and were unwilling to tell us why Huang Nan did this."
Shen Qing knew clearly that a lot of things had happened during the time he was under house arrest by Yeluvis.
If his guess was correct, the driver who took him to the police station must have known something. And why didn't his daughter want him to take a private job?
And why are these black-clad men who can use forbidden techniques to travel between the two worlds so determined to kill him and Xiao Qihao? What is their purpose in coming to the underworld...
And Ye Xiang...
Shen Qing felt a sharp pain in his head and his wound was still aching.
Yeluweisi, where the hell have you been? If you don't come back, you'll really be left without a wife!
"Speaking of which, Teacher Shen, why are you here?"
Shen Qingze didn't expect Xiao Qihao to still remember this in this situation. He was embarrassed and didn't know how to start. He said vaguely,
"Just like you, I don't know how I ended up here."
Xiao Qihao's eyes were full of speculation, and he obviously didn't believe his words.
"Um...If I say I'm not alive, would you believe it?"
"Believe it, why not? I am not a human being either."
Xiao Qihao joked in a sarcastic tone, obviously not believing Shen Qingze's words.
He was too lazy to argue with Xiao Qihao about this issue, because he heard footsteps coming from the alley again, and hurriedly covered Xiao Qihao's mouth.
Could it be that those men in black have come back again? !
The water drops from the rotten wooden eaves hit Xiao Qihao's neck. He trembled violently, and his nails almost dug into the soil.
The sound of footsteps at the alley entrance came closer and closer, and the bluestone slabs made a faint "cracking" sound. It didn't sound like someone passing by by chance, but rather like a predator who had deliberately turned back to measure the scent of his prey.
Shen Qing slowly pulled out half of the dagger, and the sword reflected the shadows of two people pressed against the brick wall.
The moonlight came in obliquely through the broken window frame, and at the moment when the black shadow stepped through the alley, it illuminated the chain swinging around the waist of the ghost-faced man - it was the killer who had been chasing them before!
A suppressed sob escaped from Xiao Qihao's throat, his back pressed tightly against the cold wall, even his breath froze into frost.
Just as the ghost-faced man turned around, a silver-white sword light suddenly tore through the night sky.
Ye Xiang came gracefully on the flying paper money, and his soft sword wrapped around the opponent's wrist like a spirit snake. His black cloak swept across the phosphorescent fire on the ground, startling a string of blue sparks.
"Go! Get behind me!"
His voice was as cold as ice, but the edge of his sword was as hot as fire. The gust of air that erupted when he and the man in black came into close combat shredded the soul-calling banners hanging at the entrance of the alley into pieces.
Shen Qing took the opportunity to hold Xiao Qihao in his arms and ran out. The ghost-faced man retreated three steps, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the mask, and finally it shattered into powder with a "snap", revealing a pale face covered with corpse spots underneath.
At this time, the sound of footsteps came one after another in the distance.
