In the woods, a man dressed in black strolled out. Under the dim moonlight, his determined face could be seen clearly. The middle-aged man with some wrinkles had a deep, chiseled face, as if carved by a knife. The hair on his temples was already gray, and he looked indifferently at the people under the moonlight.
"Mu Qingcang?" Ling Tiehan said in a low voice.
"Pavilion Master Ling, long time no see." Mu Qingcang nodded faintly. The person who came was the former number one master of Da Chu State, Mu Qingcang, who had suddenly disappeared. Mu Qingcang looked at Ye Li, who was standing to the side, and said, "Princess Consort, you can take them and leave first."
Ye Li walked over to help Zhuo Jing and Lin Han up. She nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Mu."
Ling Tiehan silently watched Ye Li leave with her people. He didn't chase after them. He knew very well that if he didn't deal with Mu Qingcang first, he wouldn't be able to touch Ye Li tonight. Although he was confident that he could defeat Mu Qingcang, one of the former four masters in the world wasn't someone that could be easily dealt with. Moreover, he could feel that Mu Qingcang seemed to be a little different from ten years ago. Ten years ago, he had a chance to fight with Mu Qingcang. At that time, he clearly felt that Mu Qingcang was regressing. So, he never took Mu Qingcang seriously again. It was inevitable that one's strength would decline as they got older, but at that time, Mu Qingcang was clearly still in his prime. But when they met this time, he found that Mu Qingcang wasn't as bad as he had expected. He even made some progress.
Moreover, Ling Tiehan also had some things that he didn't understand. Frowning, Ling Tiehan said, "I didn't know that Mu Qingcang would actually pledge allegiance to the Prince Ding Mansion." Outsiders might not know, but how could Ling Tiehan, who controlled the Yanwang Chamber of Commerce, not know Mu Qingcang's true identity? Mu Yang and Mu Jingmin had just fallen into the hands of the Prince Ding Mansion, but Mu Qingcang came to save Princess Ding. This was really out of Ling Tiehan's expectations.
"I'm not from the Prince Ding Mansion," Mu Qingcang said coldly.
Ling Tiehan raised his eyebrows. "Then Brother Mu, why are you doing this?"
Mu Qingcang said, "It's just a deal with the Prince Ding Mansion. I promised to protect Princess Ding at the Prince Ding Mansion for three days. After three days, you can kill me or torture me as you wish. " Ling Tiehan sighed helplessly and said, "Although I don't want to fight with Brother Mu now, it seems that I have no choice but to do so." Three days later, Ye Li had already returned to the Mohist army's camp. At that time, with the protection of hundreds of thousands of Mohist army and thousands of Qi Lin, it would be difficult to even get close to Ye Li, let alone kill Ye Li.
"After you." Mu Qingcang nodded indifferently.
Soon, two figures fiercely fought on the ancient road. Under the moonlight, the two figures met at times, and sword qi shot out in all directions. The momentum of a fight between real experts was completely different from the fight with Ye Li and the others just now.
In the dark, Leng Liuyue and Mu Qingcang watched Ye Li and the others riding away. Leng Liuyue frowned and said, "Should we help Big Brother stop them?" Although they didn't agree with touching Princess Ding, since Big Brother insisted on doing it, they could only support him as his younger siblings.
Sickly Scholar shook his head and said, "No, let them go. The Prince Ding Mansion isn't that easy to mess with, and … Big Brother also went easy on them just now. " With Ling Tiehan's martial arts, if he really wanted to kill Ye Li, he could just hide in the dark and directly attack. Even if Mo Xiuyao personally came, he wouldn't be able to stop him if he wasn't prepared beforehand. They were assassins, so why would they need to stand on the side of the road and talk nonsense for so long?
Leng Liuyue frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, Big Brother promised to kill Ye Li on the road. If Ye Li herself escapes and returns to the Mohist army, then it's not our fault. " Moreover, the other side also had the help of one of the world's top four experts. Even if Big Brother failed, no one could say anything.
As assassins, whether it was the indifferent Leng Liuyue or the ruthless Sickly Scholar, they were all calm and rational people. With the Yanwang Chamber of Commerce's Jianghu influence, it wasn't a good thing for them to go up against the Prince Ding Mansion, whose influence spanned over half of the original Xiling and Da Chu State. Whether Mo Xiuyao was seriously injured or not, as long as Mo Xiuyao wasn't dead, the Mohist army and the Prince Ding Mansion were still extremely terrifying existences. It should be known that when Mo Xiuyao's legs were crippled and he was poisoned, he still managed to protect the Prince Ding Mansion, which was on the verge of collapse. Not to mention that the Prince Ding Mansion's influence was at its peak.
If Lei Zhenting hadn't sent people to find Big Brother this time, they wouldn't even have known that Big Brother, who had no parents since childhood, was the prince of the Emperor Of Xiling. However, for so many years, the Emperor Of Xiling had nothing to do with them. Big Brother had never received any benefits from the Emperor Of Xiling. They had even been wantonly suppressed by Lei Zhenting. Why should Big Brother go up against the Prince Ding Mansion for the Emperor Of Xiling?
The battle between Ling Tiehan and Mu Qingcang lasted until the next morning. The morning sun shone on the side of the ancient road. Ling Tiehan stood on the side of the road with the iron sword in his hand, looking down at Mu Qingcang not far away. Blood quietly slid down his arm from his sleeves and fell into the dust at his feet. "Da Chu State's number one expert, you really live up to your reputation," Ling Tiehan said lightly.
Not far in front of him, Mu Qingcang half-knelt on the ground with a pale face. His right shoulder was almost pierced through, and his abdomen was already dyed red with blood. This time, the two of them weren't the same as the previous spars between Ling Tiehan and Mo Xiuyao. This was a true battle of life and death. In the past few years, Mu Qingcang didn't pay attention to worldly affairs and lived in seclusion, concentrating on martial arts. After throwing away the shackles that had been placed on him, Mu Qingcang gradually recovered and even improved his martial arts. Although he was slightly inferior to Ling Tiehan, when he fought with his life on the line, Ling Tiehan was actually stopped here for an entire night.
Mu Qingcang casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly. "Pavilion Master Ling is too kind. This one admits defeat. "
Ling Tiehan shook his head and didn't say anything. Leng Liuyue and Sickly Scholar appeared in front of him. When they saw the dark red blood on the ground beside Ling Tiehan, they stared unkindly at the heavily injured Mu Qingcang kneeling on the ground. "Big Brother …"
Mu Qingcang reached out to stop Sickly Scholar, who wanted to kill Mu Qingcang. "The victor has been decided. There's no need to cause any more trouble." Sickly Scholar nodded and asked, "Big Brother … are we still chasing?"
Ling Tiehan smiled at his two younger siblings who had worried expressions. He raised his sword-wielding hand and said, "I have internal injuries. Let's go back. "
Leng Liuyue and Sickly Scholar's eyes flashed with surprise. Big Brother really didn't plan on killing Princess Ding.
"Yes, Big Brother. Let's go back." Leng Liuyue stepped forward to support Ling Tiehan. Ling Tiehan waved his hand and said, "No need. Brother Mu, do you need me to send someone to send you back?"
"Thank you, Pavilion Master Ling. The Prince Ding Mansion will take care of Mr. Mu." At some point, Mo Hua appeared on the side of the ancient road and looked at the three people in front of him with a cold expression. Seeing Mo Hua, Ling Tiehan frowned. The assassins of the Yanwang Chamber of Commerce who were sent to stop Qi Lin and the Mohist army's Shadow Guard were probably finished. Ling Tiehan didn't know Mo Hua, but he could see that Mo Hua's martial arts were far superior to Zhuo Jing and Lin Han. Such a person didn't have the slightest reputation in the imperial court or in Jianghu. It could be seen that the Prince Ding Mansion was really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
