Chapter 976

As the night deepened, Cui Hao and the others continued to follow Mengqi's footsteps. The explosion just now confirmed to them that the assassins from the Unrelenting Tower had not given up and were making their final mad attempt. They did not know if the experts of the Exterior had intercepted them in time. If not, then they could be considered to be passing by. If they were intercepted, they could still use the Golden-level assassins to hone their skills and get a reward.

The mountain path opened up in the darkness. The cold wind was biting cold. They passed through layers of pine forest and bypassed the cliff. They arrived at a natural shelter from the wind. The north wind had weakened a lot and was slightly stirring. The Mountain Deity Temple stood by the side of the road in front of them. The dim light of the fire seeped through, giving off a warm yellow glow.

Cui Hao suddenly felt uncomfortable with the slightly dull air flow. He quickly shouted, "Everyone, be careful. There are remnants of poisonous smoke ahead! Although it has dissipated for a long time, the wind here is usually weak. If you breathe too much of it, you might still be affected. Keep the antidote pill in your mouth. "

The remaining poisonous smoke was basically useless but it was better to be safe than sorry. It was not a big deal to keep an antidote pill in your mouth.

Jiang Qing was very excited to encounter something like this for the first time. He took out the antidote pill and put it in his mouth. He did not stop walking as he approached the Mountain God Temple. "The Twelfth Cui, there must have been a big battle ahead. What was the outcome? How many assassins from the Unrelenting Tower died? "

If it had been the Red-stair, would that arrogant Green-robed Rider have been able to escape unscathed?

Cui Hao said calmly with a sigh, "When assassins attack, their targets are at their weakest. That is why they can often defeat those stronger than them. With the probing before this evening, they should have a better understanding of the Green-robed Rider's strength. Since they dared to blow up the mountain path, they probably had a good chance …"

A person's realm was certain but their combat strength would often fluctuate. When they were in a bad mood, angry beyond words, or happy or relaxed, their combat strength would definitely be different.

Timing, geography, people, and other factors could all affect combat strength. For assassins, they were good at observation and timing. Once they attacked, they would at least attack when their targets were relatively weaker.

Therefore, for experts, it was necessary to keep their minds calm and be able to enter a state of mind at any time.

Suddenly, someone stopped in front and said in a low voice.

"There's a corpse!"

Cui Hao was nearby. He followed the voice and saw a corpse in a green robe. His face was thin and his facial features were striking. The corpse was strangely covered in a layer of ice as if it had been frozen. but the fatal wound was the sword mark between the eyebrows.

"Eh, why does it look so familiar …" Cui Hao thought as he vaguely grasped something.

At this moment, he saw that the ice on the dead man's hands was the thickest, as if it came from his blood vessels and bones. His heart skipped a beat, and he cried out involuntarily, "Shadow Cold Palm!"

The surrounding Jianghu heroes held their breaths. "Shadow Cold Palm" Jiang Dingzhi was a famous Heterodox Master in the Di and Qin Prefectures. He had once been famous for his prowess. He had committed numerous murders and attracted countless people to kill him. However, his Lightness Skill was outstanding. When he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately fled. He had grown all the way to the Half-step Exterior Scenery and was known as a future Heterodox Master.

Maybe it was because of too many murders, but he later suffered Qi-deviancy Derangement and lost control of his palm. It was not easy for him to survive. His strength was greatly reduced and his realm almost fell. Every time he used his palm, he suffered from the cold air.

Even so, he was still a real Half-step Exterior Scenery. His Lightness Skill and Cold Palm were the best in the world. If he did not push himself too much, he could hold on for more than a quarter of an hour. After that, he would become weaker and weaker. At that time, it would be difficult for others to catch up with him. Therefore, most of the enlightened Apertures and a few Half-step Exterior Scenery masters in Di and Qin were terrified.

Who knew that he would die here today!

"Is he an assassin from Unrelenting Tower?"

"Green-robed Rider killed him?"

Numerous exclamations of surprise and bewilderment resounded, and all of them felt like gasping.

Cui Hao exhaled. "Whether he's an assassin or not, his attack on Green-robed Rider is terrifying."

What was even more terrifying was that the Shadow Cold Palm was dead. Looking at the scorched mud around them and the knife marks and footprints on the ground, it was obvious that there had been a great battle. Green-robed Rider had forced the Shadow Cold Palm to use his ultimate move and suffered from the backlash. Then, he was killed with a single sword strike. How terrifying!

Did he kill a powerful enemy and swagger off?

"There's another corpse there!" Someone pointed not far away.

The shocked Jiang Qing was startled. He looked into the distance and saw a corpse lying near the pine forest. Not a blade of grass grew on its head. Its facial features were distinct and there were traces of fire and thunder around it.

"Flame-scorching Devilman!"

"One of the 19 Devilmen of Destruction Sect!"

The corpse was so recognizable that many people called out his identity. He was one of the top five Devilmen, Flame-scorching Devilman!

"He's dead too?"

"It looks like he joined forces with the Shadow Cold Palm to kill that person?"

Flame-scorching Devilman and the Shadow Cold Palm had joined forces but both of them were dead. It was unbelievable.

Looking at the fierce battle around them, the thin knife wound on the Flame-scorching Devilman's throat and the traces of lightning around the wound, Cui Hao felt like he was dreaming. How terrifying was the Green-robed Rider's strength? What kind of thrilling and exciting battle had just taken place?

The night was dark and the light from the fire was weak. Looking at the two corpses, everyone could not help but shiver. It was as if they were in the ruins of hell.

"There's another corpse there …" A female warrior's voice was a little erratic. Outside the temple door, in front of the steps, in the shadows, a female corpse lay with a jade flute by her side.

"There's another corpse …" Everyone thought dreamily.

There were many heroes present. Soon, someone recognized the corpse.

"'Soul-losing Flute' Lin Biyu …"

"The three of them joined forces and they all died on the spot …" Cui Hao swallowed hard. He could not imagine that such a siege could fail. The Green-robed Rider was obviously not a Half-step Exterior Scenery.

Similarly, he could not imagine the details of the previous battle. It was unbelievable and beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!

Lin Biyu and the Shadow Cold Palm had both died from sword wounds. The three of them did not use swords. Flame-scorching Devilman's wound was from a knife. Among the three of them, only Cui Hao used a knife, and a thin one at that. The wounds were different, so the possibility of them killing each other could be ruled out.

The three corpses lay silently on the snowy mountain road. No one present could say a word.

With their strength and the fact that they had joined forces, it was no wonder that they dared to blow up the mountain road. They were not afraid of being surrounded after a long delay. However, the result was so unimaginable!

Could it be that they had help?

But there were no signs of an Exterior or Half-step Exterior Scenery master!

"Sword wounds …" Cui Hao suddenly thought of someone but felt that it was wrong. There were only a few people in the top ten of the Ranking List of Young Masters who could eliminate Flame-scorching Devilman, Shadow Cold Palm, and Soul-losing Flute in one battle!

Of course, if one's skill was good at group battles and life-and-death battles, the requirements could be lowered.

"Search the surroundings and hand the three corpses and their belongings to the Six Fan School. Ask them to exchange them for elixirs, gold, and silver. Everyone here will get a share!" Cui Hao said loudly to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation and causing chaos and killing.

Although he was inexperienced in Jianghu, he could still talk on paper.

The arresters who had chased after them recovered from their shock and immediately maintained order to prevent killing.

The crowd spread out and searched the surroundings. They wanted to find a corpse and hide their belongings.

In the pine forest, a few heroes passed by a pile of dead leaves. It was lifeless and covered a hole in the tree.

When they passed by, the dead leaves suddenly dispersed and a figure stood up. He was dressed in black, empty-handed, and had an "ordinary" appearance.

It was Mengqi!

He jumped over the mountain stream and jumped on tree branches. He made a big circle and returned to the vicinity of the Mountain God Temple where the battle had taken place!

He knew his own strength. How far could he run in ten breaths? In winter, there was less water in the stream. Other than eliminating his smell, he could not hide his body by flowing with the stream. Thus, he decided to create a psychological blind spot by hiding directly in the place where the battle had taken place.

This place was naturally sheltered from the wind and the smell did not disperse. Even if he still had a faint smell, he was not afraid of being suspected.

Then, Mengqi hid himself in the tree hole covered by the dead leaves. He completely withdrew his spirit and gaze and used the Eight Nine Mysteries to simulate the heartbeat and breathing of a hibernating animal. He directly entered a meditative state without a ripple.

He did not notice the arrival of the experts of the Exterior and the Red-stair killers until he heard the word "trash". Only then did he realize that the most dangerous moment had come. He remained motionless, relying on the wonders of the Eight Nine Mysteries, like a real hibernating animal.

The two terrifying enemies gave chase after him after a brief search. Mengqi still did not dare to move and waited patiently until Cui Hao and the other heroes arrived. Only then did he change his appearance with magic skills and materials. While they were searching, he took advantage of the time when they were searching to leave his hiding place.

The effects of the Recover Pill slightly dispersed and his strength recovered a little. He pretended to be a person with low martial arts skills and blended into the searching crowd.

"Hey, brother, did you find anything?" Mengqi approached one of the searchers and greeted him warmly.

The searcher looked at the ordinary-looking boy and could not remember whether he knew him or not. He casually replied, "How could there be a fortuitous encounter? Brother, you seem to be injured? "

"Yes, we climbed the mountain together. Unfortunately, I slipped and hurt my left arm, so I fell behind." Meng Qi made up a story. "That's right.

The searcher seemed to have understood. "I see."

So they were the people who had climbed the mountain together. It was dark and they were not familiar with each other. How could he remember their faces?

With Mengqi's intention to get closer, the two of them quickly got along well. It was as if they had known each other for more than ten years.

After ending the search and returning to the team, Mengqi used the searcher to familiarize himself with the people nearby. He completely integrated into the "team" and continued to chase after the Green-robed Rider.

In midair, the black-robed man holding the vase watched Cui Hao and the others pass by. He did not pay much attention to them. Then, he noticed that the chaos in Dragon-rocky City had subsided and experts were approaching. He sighed and turned to escape into the darkness.
