Chapter 1021: Night Battle in Liancheng, Stormy Weather
"Hoo, ho, ho..."
In the darkness, Qin Jianing, who looked exhausted, was still carrying me on her back, gritting her teeth and running desperately.
I sighed as I looked at her sweaty face, then said, "Let's find a place to rest, it should be safe."
"Not yet, the feedback from Yu Chanchu is that there are still people around secretly spying on us."
I didn't say anything after hearing her words.
I have never taken the initiative to understand Qin Jianing. In my subjective impression, she has always been wearing Hanfu, giving people a feeling of weakness.
But now, this weak girl is so stubborn, which breaks my inherent impression of her.
After running for more than ten minutes, Qin Jianing finally couldn't hold on any longer. Her legs went limp and she knelt on the ground with her back to me.
"Put me down." I gritted my teeth and struggled to climb down from her back, then sat up with my back against the wall.
"How do you feel now?" Qin Jianing squatted on the ground, panting, and took out a small porcelain bottle from her pocket. After pouring out a small pill, she handed it to me and said, "Take it, it can relieve the pain."
I took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp, then looked at Qin Jianing and said, "You can go."
Qin Jianing was stunned. I thought she would say something, but she didn't. She just quietly put away the small porcelain bottle, then sat on the ground with her back against the wall next to me.
I turned my head to look at her, and saw that her whole body was shaking slightly because of exhaustion. Her two slender thighs were shaking violently, especially her calves. The muscles were jumping. Obviously, her body had reached the limit.
Although I used to dislike this woman, I admit that I was a little moved at this moment.
She carried me on her back and ran for who knows how many kilometers. During the period, she had to face all kinds of sneak attacks. I don’t know how she managed to hold on until now with such a weak body.
"Thank you." I suddenly spoke, looking at her.
She didn't say anything, but just shook her head lightly.
After that, neither of us spoke again, but just sat there in silence.
Although the mist sprayed by the Jade Toad can hide our figures, the inky black mist is still too eye-catching from a distance. In addition, Qin Jianing's Qi has been almost consumed, so she took back the Jade Toad.
"You saved me, how are you going to explain to your master?" I suddenly asked.
"I don't know." She tidied the hair stuck to her face and whispered, "I don't think so much."
"Where is Elder Yu?" I asked again. "
I asked her to meet the people from the Feng family." Qin Jianing glanced at me and then said, "Don't worry, Elder Yu can be trusted."
"Yes." I nodded.
Then, there was a silence of several minutes.
At this moment, the sword energy in my body was still raging everywhere, but it was not as strong as before, and perhaps because of the painkillers I took, the pain was also reduced a lot.
I tried to stimulate the famous energy in my body, but it still didn't work. The blocked meridians were not repaired, and the famous energy in my body was still like a pool of stagnant water, without giving me any response.
I shook my head helplessly, then leaned against the wall, staring at the dark night sky in a daze.
"I don't know what happened to Chujiu, and Brother Wu, he was injured, I don't know how serious it is?"
I murmured in my heart, but the next moment, Qin Jianing beside me suddenly raised her head, and almost the moment she raised her head, there was a whistling sound, and then a long knife wrapped in thick black air suddenly flew out of the darkness.
"Be careful!" Qin Jianing shouted, and then her whole body fell on me, pressing me to the side.
And almost the moment the two of us rolled out, there was a muffled "bang", and it was the long knife that fiercely stabbed into the wall that I was leaning against before.
"Tsk tsk, boy, you are so lucky. I am so jealous." A somewhat frivolous voice sounded from the darkness, and along with it, there was a sound of footsteps coming from far away.
A few seconds later, a man in a black robe walked out of the darkness.
This man was short, had a pair of triangular eyes, a hooked nose, wore extremely exaggerated bell-bottom pants, had a 3:7 hairstyle, and a tuft of mustache on both sides of his mouth. His appearance was almost like a time traveler from the 1970s or 1980s.
After he walked out, he raised his hand and stroked his mustache, while looking at Qin Jianing and me with his triangular eyes that flashed with a faint light, and sneered: "It's a pity that you will soon become a pair of miserable lovers, but... I can give you a chance. As long as you grasp it, then I can choose to let one person go."
After that, he looked at me and asked: "I will only kill one person. How about you make a choice, to kill you, or... to kill her?"
"Let her go." I said almost without any hesitation.
Hearing this, Qin Jianing was startled, and saw her eyes flooded. She shook her head vigorously and said, "I won't leave."
"You go first, and then think of a way to come back to save me, go quickly." I grabbed Qin Jianing's hand and urged in a stern voice.
But Qin Jianing just shook his head: "Do you really think he will let me go? Impossible."
I was stunned when I heard that, and then I was silent.
Yes!
This man is here to kill me. As the saying goes, cut the grass at its roots. How could he let Qin Jianing go and leave trouble behind?
"Hehe, you are really a pair of love-sick people. In this case, I will fulfill your wish!" The triangular-eyed man smiled coldly, and then stretched out his hand and made a move towards the long knife stabbed on the wall.
"Tail thorn, come back." As his voice fell, there was a "hum" sound, and the long knife flew back and was grasped in the hand of the triangular-eyed man. Then, his eyes condensed, holding the long knife, he quickly rushed towards me.
"These 50 million are mine, along with the River Map and Luoshu. Hehehe, this time, I'm finally going to turn the tables!"
Triangle Eyes ran towards me, sneering. Seeing this, Qin Jianing struggled to get up, holding the Wuxiang Bodhi and was about to meet him.
However, at this moment
,
suddenly, a low shout rang out from the darkness: "The first move of the Pig Killing Knife Technique, a night battle in Liancheng with a storm!"
As the low shout fell, a "swish" sound was heard, and then a ray of knife light shone out from the darkness.
This knife light was extremely sharp. It seemed as if a hole was cut in the night sky when it appeared at this moment.
Even though I was far away, I could feel a strong knife wind.
But that's not the end. This knife light was like a trigger. Immediately afterwards, countless knife lights suddenly rose up together. They intertwined with each other and formed a large net condensed by sharp knife energy, heading straight for the triangular eye's cage.
"What a sharp knife energy, who is it?" Triangular Eyes was shocked, and I widened my eyes.
Because the moment the low shout sounded, I had already heard who the owner of this voice was.
It's Hu Zi!
