Yan Li didn't know how long he had been running. He only knew that carrying a person wasn't as simple as one plus one. In addition, Yan Sheng was chasing relentlessly from behind. His Yuan Qi was running low, and the distance between them was getting shorter.
In the beginning, they were several miles apart, but now they were less than three hundred meters apart.
Yan Li could even feel Yan Sheng's ferocious gaze that wanted to tear them apart, as well as his mocking expression that looked down on ants. It was as if he could crush him to death at any time.
"Smelly old man, hurry up and tell us about that ghost behind us …"
Gu Haiyuan was shivering from the cold wind that blew against him, and his body curled up. "Dark Soul Hand Yan … Yan Sheng … A customer of Dusk Cloud Brothel … Five years ago, he robbed a priceless cargo ship from the Cao Gang, and then disappeared without a trace … The Cao Gang spent a lot of money, but still couldn't find him. I didn't expect him to be hiding in the Wang Manor."
"He's a wanted criminal?" Yan Li asked.
"His head is worth much more than yours. The Cao Gang is offering a reward of ten soul stones, and anyone who can provide a witness will get fifty strands of star silk." Gu Haiyuan said.
Yan Li's eyes turned, and he immediately shouted, "Yan Sheng, the Cao Gang must want to know your whereabouts. If you chase after us again, I'll bring you to the Cao Gang's branch and see how many people you can kill to silence them!"
He then said in a low voice, "Old man Gu, we won't be able to escape even if we bring you along. Good luck!"
At this time, they jumped out of a courtyard, and it just so happened to be a garden. They let go of Gu Haiyuan, and then turned to continue running.
When Yan Sheng heard the two words "Cao Gang", his expression changed, and he roared angrily, chasing after Yan Li.
Gu Haiyuan was so scared that he hugged his head, and when he looked up, he realized that Yan Sheng didn't see him at all. Only then did he relax, and he patted his chest. Looking at Yan Li's fleeing figure, he chuckled, "Brat, don't die, I don't want to bear Little Caiwei's anger."
…
"You'll be the first to die!" Yan Sheng's eyes were ferocious. He gathered his True Qi and directed it to the meridian nodes in his feet. His speed increased again, and like a ghost in the dark night, he rapidly approached Yan Li.
Yan Li groaned inwardly. As he leaped out of the garden, he turned around abruptly and used Zhili Cliff as a shield.
Yan Sheng stretched out his hand that was hidden under the black robe. It looked like a skeleton with only a layer of bloody skin on it. His ghostly claws struck out first.
Bang!
The indescribable vibration was not very intense, but it carried a kind of sinister and extremely cold power.
Yan Li was operating the Hidden Sword Incantation when he realized that the cold power was his nemesis. If he were to inhale it into his body or the cliff, there would be terrible consequences.
Making a prompt decision, he unleashed nearly half of his Yuanqi and shook out the cold energy that he had already absorbed out of his body. He did not care about the injuries on his body and endured most of the force on his own body. Before Yan Sheng could catch up to him, he sent himself flying. In mid-air, he pulled out the cliff and slashed out a sword Qi.
Yan Sheng stretched out his hand and grabbed it. He was shocked. Since he mastered the Dark Soul Hand, very few people had been able to harm it. Today, he was numbed by a mere sword Qi. The killing intent in his heart grew stronger. He knew that if he did not kill his opponent today, he would become a great threat in the future.
Yan Li managed to catch his breath for a moment. He crawled up and ran. After running for another hundred feet, he passed through an alley and saw the main gate of the Prince's Mansion.
He ran over happily and saw an arrester in crimson-clothed walking in with a man in black.
The crimson-clothed arrester shouted from afar, "Friend, where are the people of the Prince's Mansion? Why is there no one guarding the gate? "
Yan Li suddenly had an idea. He shouted, "I am Gu Guanlan, the advisor of the Princess. Sirs, please allow me to report. There is a thief called Yan Sheng running amok in the Prince's Mansion … He is chasing me. Sirs, please save me!"
"Yan Sheng?" The crimson-clothed arrester was stunned at first, but immediately became overjoyed. "Are you Dark Soul Hand Yan Sheng? Ha! A criminal that even the Lone Eagle God couldn't catch has fallen into my, Luo Kaida's, hands today … "
Yan Li took advantage of the arrester welcoming Yan Sheng and slipped out of the Prince's Mansion's main gate.
Before he could rejoice, he felt a chill in his heart. He suddenly stopped at the threshold of the main gate because the man in black had blocked his path.
"Sirs, the Cao Gang is offering a reward of ten soul stones for that Yan Sheng. Aren't you tempted?"
The man in black slightly lifted his bamboo hat. Under the red lantern, half of his slightly tanned face was revealed. He smiled and said, "Your name is Gu Guanlan?"
"Yes. Is there a problem?" Yan Li held his breath and quietly approached the door frame.
The man in black smiled and said, "The child of an old friend of mine also goes by this name."
"Oh?" Yan Li said, "Who is your old friend?"
The man in black said, "His name is Gu Haiyuan. Everyone calls him Daddy Haiyuan. I'm here to look for him. Have you seen him before? "
Yan Li thought for a moment and said, "I haven't seen him. I don't know him either."
"Is that so?" The man in black was a little disappointed and said, "He invited me here, but he didn't even leave a contact person. What the hell is he doing? However, trespassing into the Prince's Mansion seems very interesting. I won't be polite then. "
As he said this, he laughed again, and walked past Yan Li Xiao.
Yan Li looked at his back in confusion. He thought he was going to make a move.
In the darkness, only Yan Sheng's shocked and angry voice could be heard.
He laughed heartily and ran away without a trace after choosing a direction.
…
Martial Arts Practice Field, Observatory.
"Princess, please stay here for a while. I've already sent people to search for the assassin." Chief Instructor Wang Mingwei said calmly.
He had made a great contribution just now. He had stolen the limelight of the Heroes Assembly House. This made Liu Sanbian and the others' expressions not look too good.
The seven instructors were proud and sneered as they surrounded the Princess.
Ji Lianmei seemed to have just recovered from the shock. Thinking of the explosion of the Thunder God, she felt a lingering fear and her face gradually turned red because of anger. "Search, search for him. We must find him. I want to kill him with my own hands!"
"Princess … Princess …"
At this moment, a guard climbed up in a panic and knelt on the ground. He said incoherently, "There's … there's a monster. A woman is fighting with a monster … The floor is cracked …"
"Speak clearly. What monster or woman? Where is the assassin?" Wang Mingwei shouted coldly.
The guard was about to speak when he heard a "boom" sound. The sound wave was like a tidal wave, almost bursting their eardrums.
A few of the weaker ones, such as the guards kneeling on the ground, spat out blood and fainted on the ground.
If Wang Mingwei hadn't used his Vital Qi to protect Ji Lianmei at the critical moment, she would have been in a similar situation.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! "An excited shout came from downstairs.
Everyone looked down from the stage and saw a masked woman fly backward into the Drill Field from the stable wall. Then, she quickly retreated. Her veil was stained with blood.
