Among the people below, two of them were the guards of the Imperial Tutors of the Sky Bearing Empire. Ling Tian could vaguely remember that the martial arts of the two of them were not bad. There were a few times when they acted as the attendants of the Imperial Tutor Wang Bo, escorting him out to indulge in debauchery. There were a few times when Wang Bo was together with Ling Tian. Of course, when Ling Tian was still the number one silkpants in the Sky Bearing Empire, this young noble Wang Bo and Ling Tian were known as the three young nobles of the Sky Bearing Empire.
Ling Tian could still remember that this Wang Bo had always been frail and dressed in emerald green robes, looking like a bamboo pole. However, in Ling Tian's eyes, he had never placed him in his eyes. From the actions of this Wang Bo, he was a true second generation, a typical silkpants. Thus, Ling Tian was truly shocked. He never imagined that this fellow would have such a secretive identity.
Could it be that he was also pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger like himself? The more Ling Tian thought about it, the more unlikely it seemed.
Ever since the Ling family took over Sky Bearing, there weren't many changes to the positions of the officials. Thus, Wang Bo's family was still in their original position. As for the guards of Tai City, Ling Tian clearly remembered that they were the direct subordinates of the Imperial Tutor, Wang Zhihong!
At this moment, the reason why these people had appeared here was very clear!
Ling Tian clenched his teeth. So, the Imperial Tutor, Wang Zhihong, was actually someone from the Xiao family! Furthermore, he had already held such a high position in Sky Bearing for so many years. Just when did the Xiao family start plotting against Sky Bearing?
Wasn't this fact a little too shocking?
Ling Tian was confident that he would be able to unify the world under his rule. However, while he was scheming against others, others might be scheming against him as well. Previously, there was the Family Head of the Tamago Family, Yu ManLou, who had made a bet with him. Now, there was the super spy from the Xiao family, who was above everyone else in the royal court. To think that the Xiao family that he had never placed in his eyes would actually have such a deep plan!
Had he really underestimated the heroes of the world?! This was undoubtedly the most shocking warning bell in Ling Tian's head!
I must take this as a lesson. I want to Ling Tian, but I cannot underestimate any enemy. Regardless of whether it is the Tamago, the Shui Family, or the Xiao family, since they have a thousand years of glory, they naturally have a way to survive. From now on, I must be even more careful! The God of Luck would not always favor the same person!
Based on the conversation between the two, it seemed that Wang Bo had already gone to the front to greet the so-called 'allies'. That 'allies' must be from the Xiao family! Ling Tian's mind raced and he came up with a brilliant plan.
Sweeping his gaze towards Ling Jian, Ling Tian waved his right hand and made a killing gesture. Then, he placed his finger in front of his lips, indicating for Ling Jian not to create too much of a commotion and to kill quietly without making any noise!
In the next moment, this group of people who had just walked out from their hiding spot were greeted with the most terrifying nightmare of their lives!
Ling Jian's body slid down the tree and landed on the ground without a sound. Under the tree, the three burly men who were napping while leaning against the tree suddenly stopped breathing without a sound. With another sliding step, another four people had tiny red marks on their throats, and they fell to the ground.
On the other side, Ling Tian was moving at a high speed like a specter. Under the cover of the dark night, more than ten people had already lost their lives to Ling Tian and stepped onto the road to the Yellow Springs. The division of labor between the two of them was extremely clear. One of them went left while the other went right. Both of them moved as fast as lightning and as fast as ghosts without making a single sound. Before anyone had noticed anything, thirty to forty people had already walked onto the road to the Yellow Springs.
In the air, the smell of blood gradually became thicker. In the middle of the open space, a person sniffed and asked suspiciously, "What's that smell? Why does it smell so fishy? Is anyone hurt? "
After he said that, a few people suddenly felt that something was wrong. One of them, who seemed to be the leader, sniffed quickly and his face changed. He growled in a low voice, "Gather immediately! Something's wrong! "
The sound of footsteps could be heard and the men who were scattered around immediately got up and gathered in the middle of the open space. The person who gave the order suddenly widened his eyes in fear. This was because, after he gave the order, less than seventy of his one hundred and twenty men were able to gather around him!
Where did the rest go?!
There were no screams, no flashes of swords, and no traces of the enemy. However, nearly half of his men were gone. What was going on?! Could there really be ghosts?!
In the darkness, one could vaguely see that there were more than ten people who, after hearing the order, were still leaning against the tree in a strange posture, not moving at all. And that pungent smell of blood faintly floated over from the direction of those people.
It was not the first time that anyone had ventured into the Jianghu. Almost everyone knew that these brothers had met with an accident!
"Wang Laosi! Wang Laosi … where the f * ck are you? " The leader could not believe that this was the truth. He still held on to the hope that it was just a possibility. In a low voice, he asked for his partner's name. However, his voice was already filled with uncontrollable panic. The surroundings were still silent and there was no reply. There was only a faint mist floating over, which made the forest look even more sinister and terrifying!
Everyone had already felt that something was wrong. One by one, they looked around in panic. Cold sweat began to emerge from everyone's body. The surroundings were dark and gloomy, as if countless ferocious beasts and demons were waiting quietly to launch a fatal attack on them! The surroundings were filled with a heavy feeling of death. This feeling was so heart-palpitating!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Everyone had already unsheathed their swords and sabers. They cautiously observed their surroundings. The cold gleam of their weapons shone on everyone's faces, making them look deathly pale without exception!
"Clack, clack, clack …" It was terrifying to the extreme. Some people's teeth could no longer control themselves as they chattered on the ground. It was this clack sound that suddenly rang out in this moment of silence, but it was as loud as spring thunder.
"Du Qi, go and take a look at Wang Laosi. See what happened to him." The leader held his long sword tightly in his hand. Cold sweat had already flowed from his forehead to his chin, but he did not dare to wipe it off.
A man in black responded. On his face, there was a resolute and tragic look as if he was going to die. He carefully held his saber and walked step by step towards Wang Laosi who was sitting under the tree. His footsteps stepped on the thick grass and made a rustling sound. For some reason, this rustling sound, in the ears of the frightened crowd, seemed to be the rhythm of death.
Seeing Du Qi walk step by step towards Wang Laosi, everyone stared intently. Du Qi finally mustered up his courage and walked four feet in front of Wang Laosi. He focused his gaze and saw that Wang Laosi's eyes were wide open. There was a strange smile on his face. There was a thin line of blood on his throat. He had stopped breathing long ago. He had actually been dead for a long time.
Du Qi was shocked and could not help but take a step back. He felt as if there was sand in his throat. It was extremely uncomfortable. He turned his head and was about to speak when he heard everyone exclaim in unison.
Wang Laosi, who was originally a dead man in front of him, suddenly stood up. His eyes were wide open, and there was a strange smile on his face. He opened his arms and pounced towards Du Qi!
Du Qi's soul was about to leave his body. He was so frightened that he even forgot to slash out with his saber. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his chest. The black sword had been drawn back like lightning and was once again hidden in the darkness.
The wound was small. Although it had pierced through his heart, causing him to die instantly, the blood did not spurt out. It only slowly filled his stomach. Du Qi only felt a warm and indescribable comfort all over his body. At the moment of death, Du Qi suddenly felt the feeling of death. But it was different from what everyone else felt. Because what Du Qi felt was: Happiness!
(PS: Usually, when a person dies unnaturally, if their internal organs and blood vessels rupture before they die, and hot blood flows into their abdominal cavity, under this scorching temperature, the dying person will feel infinitely comfortable and won't feel any pain at all. And it was in this comfort that life would leave the body. This may be the most painless way to die!)
But in the eyes of the people behind him, Wang Laosi, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly stood up and pounced ferociously towards Du Qi to kill him. Then, the two of them fell down together without making any sound. During this period, Du Qi did not move at all. He did not even retaliate. It was as though he was extremely excited to embrace death. He died abnormally "satisfied" and "happy"!
This scene was too abnormal, too strange, and too puzzling!
A person who was obviously dead killed his own brother who came to see if he could be saved. And the person who was killed was actually so "satisfied" and "happy"!
It was really terrifying!
In the dark night, in the originally eerie and terrifying forest, this extremely strange scene suddenly appeared. Instantly, everyone felt their hair stand on end! Everyone felt a chill on their backs and their ears. It was as though someone was blowing air into their ears. Everyone did the same thing: They stood there stupidly, their eyes darting around in fear. But their bodies seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. They could not move at all. Or it should be said that they did not dare to move at all.
The extreme fear had already destroyed the minds of almost everyone here! No one realized that in the moment when everyone was in a daze, the ten people at the very back of the group, after two illusory shadows flashed past, a dark red spot appeared on their throats. Then, they fell down softly without a sound.
The last few people fell to the ground almost at the same time. The sound made all the frightened birds turn around at the same time. Looking at their companions who had been fine just now, but had now lost their lives, everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief.
It was too strange. How did they die?
Could it be that there was really a ghost causing trouble?!
Looking at the strange death of their companions, after a while, a guy finally could not take it anymore. He bent down and vomited crazily.
Everyone let out a scream as though they had just woken up from a dream. The leader's forehead was covered in cold sweat. His face was pale and he trembled as he said, "Charge … Charge out … Let's get out of the forest first …"
