The crowd suddenly heard a few shrill and short sounds of something tearing through the air. This sound alone was enough to make many people's qi and blood churn and nauseous.
The crowd felt a flash in front of their eyes. When the black-clothed leader retreated, they saw that on the ground where he had been standing, three ordinary leaves had sunk into the ground. Only the tips of the leaves were exposed and trembled slightly in the wind.
"Flying flowers and plucking leaves can injure people."
This sentence appeared in everyone's mind at the same time.
Because Dark Cloud Pearl's voice had exposed them, the black-clothed leader looked gravely in the direction where the two people were hiding. "I wonder which senior is there?"
The black-clothed leader did not think he could do the flying flowers and plucking leaves, but no matter if it was martial arts or status, he was a famous person in Jianghu. In his opinion, there were only a few people in Jianghu who had this kind of ability, so it was not wrong to call him senior.
Song Qingshu smiled faintly. Holding Dark Cloud Pearl's hand, he floated down. His lightness skill of lifting something heavy as if it was light immediately caused the people below to cry out in surprise.
"Ah Ma, how are you?" As soon as he landed, Dark Cloud Pearl ran towards Songgotu. He pulled at his bloodstained clothes and examined his body to see where he was injured.
"Ah Ma is fine." Seeing Dark Cloud Pearl, Songgotu was startled at first, but he quickly realized that his daughter had appeared with that expert, so she must be safe and sound. He couldn't help but ask, "This is?"
"He is a good brother that I met on the way. Father, don't worry, his martial arts are very high." Dark Cloud Pearl said as if he was presenting a treasure.
Song Qingshu was speechless. He thought to himself, Your Father and I are of the same generation, but when you call me that, I'm a generation lower than you.
At this time, Ren Yingying also took the opportunity to jump out of the circle of battle. When she saw Song Qingshu, she couldn't help but slightly bow in greeting. "Thank you very much for your help."
Seeing that she didn't recognize him, Song Qingshu didn't expose her. He nodded slightly in greeting. Then, he looked at the group of black-clothed people and said, "You all have some guts. You even dare to bully the Sun Moon Sect's Young Miss Ren?"
Ren Yingying was startled, at first she thought that he was Dark Cloud Bead's friend who came to save Songgotu, who would have thought that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would stand up for her instead.
The leader of the black-robed men laughed loudly. "It's all a misunderstanding. I apologize to Miss Ren here. If I offended you just now, I hope Miss Ren can forgive me."
Originally, he only wanted to deal with Songgotu, and had no intention of offending the Sun Moon Sect. With this interruption, it was a good opportunity for him to step down.
"Just now, you people didn't even have the slightest scruple with your filthy words!" Hearing his words, Ren Yingying thought hatefully. However, she also knew that he was just worried about the mysterious person beside him and was not really afraid of her, so she could only snort in dissatisfaction.
Song Qingshu smiled faintly. "You've offended this Young Miss Ren. It's fine if she's magnanimous and doesn't care about it, but this Master Suo's daughter is my good friend. I can't possibly pretend that I didn't see you treat Master Suo this way. Wouldn't that make me lose a lot of face in front of this friend?"
He wasn't really standing up for Dark Cloud Bead, but he was curious about the identity of this group of people. Although from what the Qinghai Owl and the others said, it was very likely that they were sent by Zuo Lengchan, but seeing is believing, so he still had to confirm. Therefore, he found an excuse from Dark Cloud Bead.
At the side, Dark Cloud Bead didn't know about all this. A strange expression suddenly appeared in her clear and sparkling eyes. The other person had been cold and indifferent all along the way, she didn't expect him to care about her so much … When she thought of this, Dark Cloud Bead couldn't help but feel an indescribable shyness in her heart.
Hearing Song Qingshu's words, the group of black-clothed people immediately went into an uproar. The person who had mocked Ren Yingying the most earlier couldn't help but snort. "Our Master … Boss is just being polite, that's why he called you 'Senior'. Your martial arts might be high, but there are so many of us, so why would we be afraid of you?"
"That's right, us brothers have run amok in the martial world for so many years, rarely meeting a worthy opponent. You may not be able to beat us brothers," another black-clothed person chimed in. On one hand, the two brothers were indeed people with great backgrounds in the martial world, and on the other hand, they had so many companions present. Every one of them was an expert, and with their battle prowess, they could easily destroy a century-old sect. No matter how powerful the other party was, he was just one person. Therefore, it was good to say some polite words in front of their companions to gain some face.
"Be careful!" The black-clothed leader's expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly pounced towards him.
"Is that so?"
Song Qingshu sneered. When he said 'yes', he was clearly still at the same place, but when the word 'what' came out of his mouth, he suddenly appeared in front of the black-clothed man. Under the other party's shocked gaze, a finger of Sword Qi had already broken his heart meridian.
His companion was both shocked and angry. Although the two of them weren't blood-related brothers, they had been friends for so many years, and their relationship was even closer than that of blood-related brothers. Their coordination was even more seamless. Before he could figure out what was going on, the sword in his hand subconsciously stabbed towards Song Qingshu's body.
Song Qingshu slowly raised his left hand, and his two fingers easily caught the longsword. The other party felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood on his mask.
At this time, the black-clothed leader's attack had already reached Song Qingshu's back. Song Qingshu let out a soft cry of surprise, and the longsword that was caught between his fingers broke. He then used the broken tip of the sword to turn around and block the black-clothed leader's incomparably swift and fierce sword attack.
All of this happened in the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint. Only then did the other black-clothed men react, and they all used their lifetime's unique skills to pounce over.
"Senior (Big Brother), be careful!"
The two girls exclaimed at the same time. Ren Yingying looked at the Dark Cloud Pearl in surprise, and her attention quickly returned to the battle. However, she found that the other party actually had the leisure to turn around and smile at her. She couldn't help but be startled.
Song Qingshu's toes touched the ground, and he suddenly disappeared from the crowd's encirclement. He returned to the side of Ren Yingying and the other two girls. In his hand was still the black-clothed man from before, and he smiled and handed him over to Ren Yingying. "Miss Ren, this person's mouth was the most stinky just now. I'll catch him for you. Ren Yingluo."
"Many thanks!" Ren Yingying's heart skipped a beat when she saw the other party's smile. Why did this person give off a familiar feeling?
It was no wonder that Ren Yingying couldn't recognize him. Song Qingshu knew that A 'Jiu and Xia Qingqing were currently overseeing the Golden Snake Camp, so they had to appear in his appearance. If he leaked his whereabouts outside, and someone with ulterior motives discovered that there were two Song Qingshu's at the same time, there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't think of something. Therefore, not only did he wear a mask, but he also deliberately changed his voice so that people who had seen him wouldn't recognize him.
The black-clothed man's words just now were so unpleasant that Ren Yingying couldn't wait to tear him to pieces. She pulled off the black-clothed man's mask and saw that he was an old man with a dispirited expression. The most eye-catching thing about him was his white hair.
"Hmph, disrespectful old man." Ren Yingying's skin had always been very thin, and she valued face the most in her life. Moreover, as the dignified Holy Maiden of the Sun Moon Sect, she had the power to decide the life and death of countless people. How could she be soft-hearted at this time? Without hesitation, she thrust the short sword in her hand forward and directly ended the other party's life.
"Demoness, how dare you!" The group of black-clothed men cursed one after another, but they were intimidated by Song Qingshu at the side. For a moment, no one dared to rush over and could only watch as their companions lost their lives.
On the other hand, Song Qingshu, who was watching from the side, sucked in a breath of cold air. He thought to himself, 'My dear midwinter, these people only verbally teased her a few times, and she killed them with a single slash. Then the way I humiliated her before … if one day I accidentally fall into the hands of this little girl, I'm afraid I won't have a whole piece of flesh left on my body, right? ' Song Qingshu subconsciously shivered.
Wu Yunzhu's complexion also turned slightly pale as she watched. She absolutely didn't expect that this fairy-like older sister would be so ruthless. Finally, a trace of regret arose in her heart. 'This Jianghu is really too dangerous, it's still more comfortable to stay in the capital city, reciting poems and painting with those young masters and ladies …' But she quickly changed her mind. If she hadn't sneaked out, how could she have gotten to know such a hero like Big Brother?
Songgotu watched as his daughter's complexion alternated between bright and gloomy; one moment it was red, the next moment it was white; he could not help but be stunned. 'What is my daughter actually thinking?'
"Miss Ren, we have shown you mercy time and time again, yet you unexpectedly struck such a vicious blow." The leader of the black-clothed men said in a deep voice, his voice carried a trace of oppressive coldness.
"This kind of despicable and lowly person, if I kill him, then I will kill him." Ren Yingying snorted tenderly, but she held the dagger in her hand even tighter, guarding against the opponent's retaliation. At the same time, she was secretly regretting in her heart that she shouldn't have traveled alone for the sake of convenience. If she had brought her subordinates along, she wouldn't have fallen into such a predicament.
But right at this moment, Song Qingshu stood in front of her, blocking most of her body. He said with a laugh, "Sire is so unreasonable. Your companions were killed by me, and this white-haired old man was also captured by me. If you want to take revenge, shouldn't you come looking for me? Why would you make things difficult for a little girl? "
Ren Yingying looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect that he would stand up for her again and again. She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, "Could this person be father's old friend? No, his martial arts are so high. If he really is father's old friend, father would have asked him for help when we besieged Dongfang Bubai. I have never heard father mention him before. But if he isn't father's friend, then why would he help? Could it be for … me? "
As she thought about it, Ren Yingying's face suddenly turned red, and her depressed mood inexplicably improved. "Humph, after being bullied by that bastard Song Qingshu for so long, my luck has finally turned for the better, and I have met a good person."
The leader of the black-clothed men looked at her with fear, waved his hand to stop his restless subordinates, and said in a deep voice, "Since we offended the father of your friend first, and you took revenge on them, we have nothing to say. Today's matter ends here, and we will bid our farewells here." With that, he signaled his companions to leave.
But Song Qingshu coldly said, "Did I say you can leave?" Since the other side chose this time to attack Songgotu, who was negotiating peace, it proved that they and the Golden Snake Battalion were enemies, not friends. It's a pity that in the exchange of moves just now, the other side seemed to be deliberately concealing their martial art style. He really couldn't figure out the other side's background, how could he let the tiger return to the mountain so easily?
