Chapter 675

If a Level Four Warrior got close, it would not be difficult for him to kill someone of the same level in a second. He could kill them easily.

For a fourth-grade martial artist to have such strength, it depended on two conditions: Transforming Strength and "Will".

A Level Four Warrior was at the peak of the Human Body Technique. Not to mention Li Miaozhen, even Xu Qi 'an, who was also a Warrior, would be beaten by a Level Four Warrior.

Not to mention a Level Four Warrior who had cultivated "Will."

Of course, one was Tenzō Shōnin, and the other was Daibun Yingong. Both of them had trump cards. But now was not the time to fight to the death.

A Level Four Warrior could not be killed in a short time. Once they were entangled, the three of them would not be able to leave. At that time, other secret agents and soldiers would rush over, and they would not be able to escape.

Xu Qi 'an could not expose his identity, nor could he use the Confucian Scroll and the Golden Body, so he could not let a Level Four Warrior get close to him.

"Whoosh!"

Li Miaozhen pulled out her flying sword and flew straight to the sky, avoiding the arrow that turned.

Down below, a figure jumped on the roof, running and jumping on the roofs of residential buildings, chasing after the flying sword. In the process, the figure wrapped in a black robe kept pulling the bow, shooting arrows that contained the Level Four "Arrow Will."

Li Miaozhen, who was flying up, was forced down by two arrows. Just as she got rid of the arrows above her head, she suddenly heard the sound of several arrows piercing through the air.

The black-robed figure on the roof shot a total of 13 arrows. These sharp arrows were like flying swords, attacking Xu Qi 'an and the other two from different angles, containing the Gist of Trueness that would not stop until they hit the enemy.

Li Miaozhen was like an old chariot, controlling the flying sword to drift, turn, and circle … dodging the arrows flexibly.

But as the black-robed figure shot more and more arrows, the three of them were trapped in a large array of arrows.

Xu Qi 'an applauded Li Miaozhen's driving skills while thinking about how to get rid of the tracking on the ground.

I can't use the Confucian Scroll, Shenshu Monk, and many people below … I can't use the Vajra Divine Skill, which will expose my identity, and the Heaven and Earth Cut …

Only then did Xu Qi 'an realize that he had not learned enough. He was not flashy enough.

"Hold on, just because I can't use Confucian magic doesn't mean I can't use magic books …" A thought flashed through his mind.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, he saw the building beneath the black-robed man's feet collapse with a loud rumble. He leaped up and flew to a certain height. Just as he was about to run out of energy, an arrow flew to his feet.

Just like that, he stepped on the arrows and rose into the sky. In the process, he continued to shoot arrows, not giving Li Miaozhen a chance to catch her breath.

"This should be the peak of the fourth rank …" Xu Qi 'an frowned.

Li Miaozhen took out a talisman from her sleeve. She placed it on her lips and chanted. Then, she threw it out.

The talisman burned in the air. The flame expanded and turned into a huge fireball more than ten meters in diameter, like a sun.

The blazing fire illuminated the city below, making people think that day had come early.

Xu Qi 'an smelled something burning. He turned and saw that Zhao Jin's eyelashes were gone. His hair was curly and yellow.

My eyelashes must be gone too … What, what's wrong with my hair? The whole world is against my hair … Thinking of his green hair and the eyelashes that had just left him, Xu Qi 'an felt sad.

Li Miaozhen's hair danced wildly. She stretched out a hand and pushed.

The fireball was like a meteorite, smashing toward the black-robed figure.

The black-robed figure moved horizontally in the air. He stepped on the arrows and avoided the fireball. He let it fall and hurt the people in the city. He did not intend to stop it.

Li Miaozhen frowned and clenched her open palm.

Boom!

The flame exploded in the air like a magnificent firework. Clusters of flames exploded in a circle and were extinguished before they hit the ground.

Seizing this opportunity, the black-robed figure stepped on the arrows and flew in the air. He quickly closed the distance between them.

Once he got close, he was sure that he could quickly injure Li Miaozhen. At the very least, he could knock her down from the air. And the only thing Li Miaozhen could do was to leave her two companions and escape alone. Or, she could be trapped with her companions.

Li Miaozhen was not afraid in the face of the black-robed man who was charging at her aggressively. Her pretty face was as calm as a mountain collapsing in front of her. She pointed her sword at the sky and shouted in a low voice,

"Pardon!"

Boom!

Dark clouds rolled in the sky. Thunder roared. Suddenly, a dazzling lightning struck down from the dark clouds.

The lightning was too fast. The sky was not Warrior's territory. This time, the black-robed figure did not dodge and was struck on the head.

Bang!

The lightning was blocked by an invisible air shield. Fine electric arcs swam on the surface of the shield.

He gathered his Qi and forcefully withstood the lightning strike.

Zhao Jin's expression changed. Such a violent lightning strike could not stop the black-robed figure. With the distance between them, the black-robed figure would be close to them in the next moment.

Li Miaozhen frowned. Since there was no other choice, she could only land and fight. With her and Xu Qi'an's battle strength, they might be able to kill this peak fourth rank master.

At this moment, she heard Xu Qi'an say, "Continue flying!"

Without hesitation, she gave up on the idea of fighting and flew up on her flying sword.

At this time, the black-robed figure was only a few feet away. He was already gathering his strength, ready to attack at any time.

Chi!

Xu Qi'an shook his hand and burned a piece of paper. Using his body to block the burning paper, he said loudly, "Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life. It is forbidden to kill!"

The black-robed figure's posture suddenly froze. His sharp eyes turned gentle. His will to fight disappeared. An impulse of repentance rose in his heart.

He repented for hunting down the three people in front of him, and for the sins he had committed in the past.

This process only lasted for half a second. The martial artist's strong will dispelled the influence.

But it was all too late. The arrow fell out of control. He could only see the shadows of Li Miaozhen and the other two getting further and further away. Soon, they disappeared into the clouds.

"Buddhism?"

The black-robed figure mumbled in anger and helplessness.

…

Li Miaozhen flew above the sea of clouds for fifteen minutes. Then, she changed direction and flew for another fifteen minutes. Finally, she stepped on the tip of her feet and brought the two people out of the sea of clouds. They returned to the human world.

"Was that the secret agent of the King of Zhenbei?" She asked.

"A Sky-ranked secret agent." Zhao Jin replied, "With such a cultivation level, he must be a Sky-ranked secret agent. Xu Yinluo was right. We were being followed. "

He showed an expression of admiration. "Fortunately, the two of you were here. Otherwise, I would have died."

After witnessing the power of the Flying Swallow Heroine and Xu Yinluo, he became more confident about his next mission.

As long as the two of them were willing to help, they would definitely be able to report this back to the capital. The imperial court would punish the King of Zhenbei.

An hour later, according to Zhao Jin's guidance, Li Miaozhen landed outside of a valley. As soon as they landed, Xu Qi 'an felt a hostile gaze locked on him.

This was the intuition of a God-Ascension martial artist. They could sense the hostile gazes and thoughts around them.

There was no sign of an attack. This meant that the other party had no intention of attacking … Xu Qi 'an quietly turned his head and looked at Zhao Jin.

The latter nodded slightly and took a few steps forward. Then, he imitated the cry of an owl.

A few seconds later, the same cry came from the valley. Both were at the same frequency.

A moment later, a tall and burly figure walked out of the dense forest in the valley. He had a long saber at his waist and a bull horn bow on his back. He was a typical northern martial artist.

"Brother Zhao, you're finally back."

The newcomer was a man with a full beard. He was seven feet tall and his muscles bulged out his clothes. He looked rough and had the strong features of a northern person.

He stood far away and did not approach. He scrutinized Xu Qi 'an and Li Miaozhen. "Who are they?"

Zhao Jin explained, "This is the Flying Swallow Heroine, Li Miaozhen, also known as the Tenzō Shōnin. As for this one, hehe, he's the famous Silver Gong, Xu Qi 'an.

"You two, he's my sworn brother, Li Han. He's a sixth rank martial artist."

The burly man with the bull horn bow on his back was rather cautious. He looked at the two of them and asked, "How do you prove your identities?"

Li Miaozhen patted her sachet. Wisps of green smoke floated out and swam in the air. Ghostly cries could be heard.

"The Witchcraft Cult and Taoism are the only ones who can control ghosts." The burly man with the bull horn bow on his back looked at Xu Qi 'an and cupped his fists.

"We're in hiding, so we have to be cautious. I hope you can understand … how do you prove that you're Xu Yinluo?"

Xu Qi 'an did not say anything. He took out the waist tag that symbolized his identity and threw it over. He said, "Give this to Zheng Xinghuai. He'll know who I am."

Ordinary people in Jianghu might not recognize the waist tag of a night watchman, but Zheng Xinghuai, as a state administrator, was definitely familiar with it.

The burly man took the waist tag and pondered for a moment. He said, "Please wait for a moment."

He immediately strode into the valley. After about a quarter of an hour, Xu Qi 'an saw the light of a torch moving toward him.

A group of people came to greet him. The leader was a thin old man in his early fifties with a goatee. The first impression he gave was that he was old-fashioned and dignified. He had the temperament of a leader who was serious in speech and manner.

There were six people in Jianghu behind him. One of them gave Xu Qi 'an a great sense of threat. He was tall and thin, with heavy bags under his eyes. It seemed that he had overindulged in debauchery and his body was hollowed out.

The other five were Zhao Jin's sworn brother, Li Han, three men and a woman.

When Xu Qi 'an was scrutinizing them, they were also scrutinizing him and Li Miaozhen. They all felt that this young man, who tilted his head and looked at them from the corner of his eyes, was a little arrogant.

The thin old man stared at Xu Qi 'an and bowed. He said, "Are you Xu Yinluo?"

"Yes!"

Xu Qi 'an nodded. He held his cheeks with his palms and rubbed them gently to restore his true appearance.

"It really is Xu Yinluo." Li Han laughed in surprise.

The people present seemed to have seen Xu Qi 'an's portrait before. They heaved a sigh of relief and thought that Xu Yinluo was indeed worthy of his reputation. No wonder he tilted his head and looked at them from the corner of his eyes. This arrogance was not something an ordinary person could have.

"I am Chu Zhou City's Chief Minister Zheng Xinghuai." The thin old man bowed and said, "This is not the place to talk. Please come in."

Xu Qi 'an and Li Miaozhen followed them into the valley. There was a natural cave in the valley. It was wide and deep, leading straight to the belly of the mountain.

Zhao Jin moved some branches at the entrance of the cave and made a simple camouflage.

There was a bonfire burning in the cave, and a simple "bed" made of withered grass. There were many bones scattered on the ground. In addition, there was an iron pot and a reserve of rice.

After escaping from the city, they hid in the mountains … Xu Qi 'an scanned the cave and sat down next to the bonfire under Zheng Xinghuai's signal.

"They are all guests of my residence. When we escaped, there were more than twenty of us. Now there are only six of them." Zheng Xinghuai introduced.

The tall and thin man was called Shen Tu Baili, a Rank Five Transcendent Master. After the two Rank Four Transcendent Masters died, he became the strongest person in this group.

Of the remaining three men, the fat and strong man was called Wei Youlong. He was a Rank Six Transcendent Master and wore a dirty purple robe. His weapon was a large machete.

The one who used a spear was called Tang Youshen. He had a scar on his left cheek. When he looked at people, his eyes were as sharp as a knife. It reminded Xu Qi 'an of Jiang Lüzhong, who was also known for his sharp eyes.

According to Zheng Xinghuai, Tang Youshen came from the army. He was dismissed because he offended his superior. Later, he was recruited by Zheng Xinghuai and became a guest of the residence.

The last man was Chen Xian. He had handsome features and carried a long sword on his back. The beautiful young woman was his wife, and both of them wielded swords.

Together with Zhao Jin's sworn brother, Li Han, there were six of them.

Xu Qi 'an's eyes swept across the crowd and then looked at Li Miaozhen. The latter understood and untied the red string on the sachet, releasing a wisp of green smoke.

The green smoke turned into a man with a blurry face in the air. He murmured, "A massacre of three thousand li, please send troops to suppress …"

He kept repeating this sentence.

Wei Youlong leaned on the machete and stared at the remnant soul with a sorrowful expression.

"His name is Qian Youyi. He is my brother who roamed the Jianghu with me. We used to be escorts and killed squires. Later, I worked under Lord Zheng while he continued to roam the Jianghu.

"After the massacre in Chu Zhou City, the six of us, including Lord Zheng, were wanted by the King of Zhenbei's secret agents. We could not travel long distances. The first person I thought of was him.

"He is still the brother from back then. He is willing to do anything for his friends …"

At this point, his eyes turned red and he rubbed his chubby face.

His companions lowered their heads and the atmosphere was a little tense.

Zheng Xinghuai heaved a sigh and said, "We found a few Jianghu heroes to help us deliver a letter to my old friend. They wanted to expose the atrocities of the King of Zhenbei. I didn't expect … "

"Why didn't you expose the King of Zhenbei in the Chu Zhou City?" Xu Qi 'an asked.

"It's useless. That would only bring harm to others. Once the news got out, the King of Zhenbei's secret agents would come to assassinate them. Also, they said that the Chu Zhou City is still safe and sound. Who would believe them? It would only attract the King of Zhenbei's secret agents. "

Zheng Xinghuai shook his head. There was confusion and fear in his eyes. He was not afraid of the assassination, but he was afraid of the current situation in the Chu Zhou City.

In fact, both the barbarians and the monsters were looking for the place where the King of Zhenbei massacred the civilians. Unfortunately, you don't know the details. Otherwise, the government wouldn't even need to send a delegation to investigate the case.

Xu Qi 'an nodded and accepted Zheng Xinghuai's explanation.

"You should know that the government has sent a delegation to investigate the case." Xu Qi 'an asked.

"We heard from Zhao Jin that he would send a letter back regularly. However, we didn't dare to go to the delegation for fear that we would be killed. The North Garrison King can even massacre a city, let alone the envoy group. "Li Han, who was carrying the Bull Horn Bow, was filled with righteous indignation.

"I am the head of the delegation." Xu Qi 'an emphasized his identity.

Although Chu Zhou City was thousands of miles away from Chu Zhou City, they had all heard of Xu Yinluo's name.

Xu Yinluo had cracked many strange cases, and he had become famous because of the Buddhist battle. Xu Yinluo was not in Chu Zhou City, but his legend had spread far and wide.

Zheng Xinghuai stood up and tidied his clothes. He bowed and said, "Xu Yinluo, please help the people of Chu Zhou City."

Xu Qi 'an didn't respond. Instead, he asked, "What do you think of the current situation in Chu Zhou City? According to you, the King of Zhenbei had massacred the entire city. How could it be peaceful now? "

Zheng Xinghuai's face stiffened. He said, "I am also puzzled."

Shentu Baili and the rest also revealed the same confused expressions.

Xu Qi 'an looked at Li Miaozhen and said, "I have used the Qi Observation Spell. He is not lying. However, this is the opposite of reality. Other than the Qi Observation Spell, do you have any other way to tell if he is lying? "

The boorish Warrior had no choice but to ask for help from the Taoist nun.

Li Miaozhen thought for a moment and replied, "There is a spell called Empathy. It can allow two people's souls to fuse together for a short period of time. Have you heard of it?"

Empathy?

Xu Qi 'an was taken aback. He couldn't help but remember the day when he bought the house. With Cai Wei's help, he was able to empathize with the female ghost in the well. He saw how the Minister of War colluded with the Witchcraft Sect.

At that time, he was in a first-person view, and the wizard named Tamlaha had entered and exited the room countless times.

Although it didn't feel real, it was like watching a first-person movie. However, it still left a deep impression on him.

"That won't do. I'm full of secrets. Once I'm sympathetic, I'll have to kill the spies of the North King before they find me …" Xu Qi 'an transmitted his voice.

"Is there a way to empathize? I don't want my memories to be read by others."

Li Miaozhen smiled and replied confidently, "Of course."

Xu Qi 'an took a deep breath and thought, "Then let me see the massacre."

"Master Zheng, we want to see the scene of the massacre on that day. I hope you can cooperate." Xu Qi 'an said and looked at Li Miaozhen.

Tenzō Shōnin added, "Close your eyes and recall the details of the massacre."

Zheng Xinghuai nodded and sat on the ground with his legs crossed. He closed his eyes and recalled the bloody and cruel night that often woke him up.

Li Miaozhen slid three talismans out of her sleeve and stuck them on her, Xu Qi 'an, and Zheng Xinghuai's foreheads. Then, she pressed on Xu Qi 'an's shoulder and jumped.

Xu Qi 'an felt himself jumping. He looked down and was shocked to find that he and Li Miaozhen were still in the same place.

Did the Vital Spirit leave the body? He didn't have time to ask. The talisman on Zheng Xinghuai's forehead turned into a whirlpool and swallowed him and Li Miaozhen.
