Chapter 54: Escape
The stinking ghost fog was split apart by the sword energy. Ye Xiang came through the wind holding the Green Bamboo Sword. The silver threads thrown out by the sword body turned around and entangled the throats of the three men in black.
“Nice sword!”
Shen Qing had never seen this type of weapon before, and he couldn't help but praise it while the chaos was going on.
"Of course, this is the guardian sword that Master passed down to Ye Xiang! There is only one in the world!"
As soon as Xiao Qihao mentioned Ye Xiang, he perked up and paid no attention to the situation around him.
A man in black attacked him from behind! Ye Xiang blocked his attack with a single step. The sword energy of the Green Bamboo Sword was so overwhelming that it directly knocked the man in black away.
"Pay attention to the battle situation and don't be distracted"
Xiao Qihao scratched his head embarrassedly.
"I know!"
Shen Qing took the opportunity to swing his sword to force back the approaching killer. The sword tip left a charred crack on the ghost-faced man's chest, and sulfur-smelling blood splattered on his blood-stained clothes.
The men in black were like tireless robots. No matter how hard they fought, they could not be forced to retreat. Instead, they became more and more courageous. Even Ye Xiang began to feel exhausted under the siege of the war.
If this goes on any longer, the three of them will definitely be defeated by this offensive!
Ye Xiang pushed away the man in black in front of him, looked around, and found a flaw.
“This way!”
Ye Xiangfei stepped forward and kicked open the rusty iron door. Behind him, he heard the crisp sound of chains and scimitars colliding.
Xiao Qihao leaned against the wall and coughed up blood foam. His right leg was pierced by a poisoned hidden weapon, and his pale face was flushed with a strange purple color.
Shen Qing rushed forward and half-grasped his waist, so Xiao Qihao could barely keep his body steady.
Shen Qing immediately swung his sword to fill the gap on the right, and the blade cut through the entangled chain.
Although Xiao Qihao was in a mess, he took out a fire starter from his arms and lit the paper money piled by the door.
Choking black smoke rose from the ghost town's unique mist, and the flames distorted the shadow of the man in black.
A strong smell of blood hits my face. Will that gang ever stop?
The footsteps of the pursuers shook the ground, and the three men stumbled through the archway of bones.
Shen Qingze looked at the familiar environment around him. Ye Xiang was indeed the man in black who followed him that day!
Looking at the cliff in front of me with rolling black fog, my heartbeat suddenly quickened.
"Follow me closely!"
Ye Xiang suddenly turned around, and the green bamboo sword in his hand burst out with a dazzling green light. Dozens of men in black screamed at the same time and were knocked to the ground by the invisible air wave.
He took advantage of the situation to take Xiao Qihao from Shen Qingze's arms, and carried the unconscious Xiao Qihao on his back. He tapped the broken monument on the edge of the cliff with his toes, and his black cloak fluttered in the wind.
Shen Qing clenched his back teeth. There was no chance to hesitate now. He would find time to explain to Yeluvis later.
He looked at Ye Xiang's resolute leap and heard Xiao Qihao's whispers before he fainted.
"Believe in Him..."
The whirlpool under the cliff made a whimpering roar and swallowed up the two figures.
He followed closely behind and jumped into the familiar vortex again. The last thing he saw was the group of men in black standing on the edge of the cliff, watching them escape.
Shen Qingze was already exhausted. He closed his eyes and let himself drift in the vortex.
------
When he opened his eyes again, they were in darkness. He turned his aching arms and struggled to stand up.
"woke up?"
The living room light was suddenly turned on, and Shen Qing's eyes, which had not yet adapted to the bright light, were stung. He quickly closed his eyes and squinted a little to observe his surroundings.
Ye Xiang let out a faint sigh.
“This is my home, it’s safe.”
"you....."
"If you want to ask me something, I will explain it to you later, but now, I have to take care of Qihao's injury first."
Ye Xiang's tone was cold, and he didn't seem to feel guilty at all because of Shen Qingze's questioning.
Xiao Qihao collapsed on the sofa with a purple face, and the black blood flowing from the corners of his lips stained his clothes into strange purple spots.
Ye Xiang squatted down, her white hands fluttered across the side of his neck like a butterfly, and took out a jade bottle from her bag and poured out a green pill.
"Hold it in your mouth and use your internal energy to force out the poison."
Shen Qing leaned against the wall and slowly slid down to sit down, still holding the dagger that was already riddled with holes in his hand, which fell to the ground with a clang.
He tore open his blood-soaked collar. The poisoned chain used by the man in black had plowed a deep wound on his left shoulder that was visible to the bone. The black and purple poisonous lines were winding along his meridians.
It was really cruel. Those people acted dirty and fast, and Shen Qingze was unable to resist several times.
If I hadn't remembered to pick up a dagger to protect myself, I might not have been able to defeat them.
Poisoning when you can't beat them, how despicable!
Shen Qingze saw Ye Xiang tear open Xiao Qihao's sleeves neatly, and the silver needle glowed coldly under the phosphorescent light.
His fingertips trembled slightly, and he used the golden needle method to force the poison out.
"No need to force it."
Without even turning his head, Ye Xiang suddenly raised his hand and threw out three silver needles, which pierced into the large acupoint on Shen Qingze's shoulder. The severe pain made him groan.
"You are just as poisoned as he is. You are not in any better condition. If you delay for another half an hour, the poison will enter your heart and lungs and even a god cannot save you."
He pulled out a talisman and chanted a spell. The talisman ignited without fire, and a light blue flame rose up, burning the black blood forced out of Xiao Qihao's body. A pungent smell of burning and blood spread.
Xiao Qihao let out a painful whimper from his throat.
"Ye Xiang...it hurts..."
Ye Xiang was unmoved and said softly,
"Don't be afraid, it will be fine soon"
His other hand was already quickly preparing the antidote. When the last trace of black blood turned into ashes, he stood up and walked to Shen Qingze.
He squatted down, pulled out the three silver needles without mercy, used the same method to draw blood and remove the poison, and then tore open the white sterile gauze to wrap his wound.
"The wound needs to be dressed daily."
After saying this, he took out a porcelain bottle and poured out the golden wound medicine, his movements were filled with unquestionable strength.
"You know all this?"
"I am a Taoist magician anyway, you can choose not to believe me, whatever you want."
Shen Qing looked at his bloody fingertips and suddenly discovered that his forearm, which had been cut during the fight, was still bleeding.
"Take care of your injury as well."
Ye Xiang nodded and took off his black robe neatly. Some of the cloth had seeped into his flesh and blood on his injured forearm, which was frightening to see.
Ye Xiang carefully treated the wound on his forearm. Xiao Qihao had already fainted from exhaustion.
He sat next to Xiao Qihao, occasionally checking on Xiao Qihao's condition, his movements very slowly.
The three of them were in a very bad state in this battle. They could be said to have fled in panic, and their faces did not look good.
When Ye Xiang finally bandaged his wound, he leaned against the sofa, closed his eyes and breathed deeply. The faint blood stains on the gauze were like unopened red plum buds.
He raised his eyes and saw Shen Qingze walking towards him.
"It seems that you can't wait to confront me?"
Shen Qing looked at Ye Xiang with a complicated expression. He really wanted to know whether the man in black who had followed him was Ye Xiang.
"Ye Xiang... who are you?"
Ye Xiang stood up, picked up a blanket from the hand beside him, and gently covered Xiao Qihao with it.
Then he stood up and looked back, saying without a smile,
"Let's talk outside"
