Ouyang Bo led Li Yi up the mountain. Not long after, the sound of the other party's hooves could be heard in the whistling wind. Li Yi's heart tightened. Although he could not see how many people were chasing after him, the sound of horse hooves was mixed. There were definitely quite a number of people.
As the mountain became steep and dense with trees, the mountain path became even more difficult to traverse. The two of them abandoned their horses and ran into the forest. The faint moonlight shone into the forest through the branches and leaves. It was so dim that only a blurry image could be seen in front of him. Weeds and broken branches occasionally caught their clothes, as if countless hands were tearing them apart and stopping them. The uneven ground under his feet was covered with leaves that had accumulated over the years. It was soft and he could not use any strength to step on. Li Yi could only be pulled forward by Ouyang Bo. After running for an unknown amount of time, his foot slipped, and he felt a sharp pain in his ankle. He gasped and could not help but let out a soft cry. Ouyang Bo covered her mouth and looked at her ankle worriedly. He picked her up and crawled into the weeds that were as tall as a person.
Three or four men in black arrived at the sound. The steel sabers in their hands glowed with a faint cold light. They looked around the weeds. The black-clothed man closest to them slowly approached the weeds, his steel knife constantly hacking and stabbing in the grass. Ouyang Bo protected Li Yi under his body and stared at the steel knife without blinking. The steel knife slashed across his neck, but he only moved slightly and held his breath without making a sound.
"This way!" The man in black in the distance ordered.
A rustling sound was heard, and the outside returned to normal. Li Yi moved his body a little, and a piercing pain came from his ankle. She glanced at Ouyang Bo, who was observing the situation outside. With his skills, it should not be a problem for him to escape alone. She was afraid of death, but she would not be so despicable as to drag others to their deaths.
"You can go! I can't leave!" Li Yi said in a low voice.
Ouyang Bo got up and moved her ankle." It's sprained. It's okay."”
"Ouyang, leave. You can't run away even if you bring me along.”
"I told you I wouldn't leave you behind again. Save your strength and we'll find a place to hide. They might not be able to find us in such a big mountain.”
Ouyang Bo got up and carried Li Yi. He looked around vigilantly and ran deeper into the forest.
Li Yi leaned into his arms and listened to his heartbeat. He was no longer so afraid, and his mind became clearer.
"Ouyang, there's a cave on this mountain. It's relatively hidden.”
"Do you remember how to get there?" The novel network didn't jump.
"You don't have to go anywhere." A low voice came from the tree, and a man in black fell from the tree like a fallen leaf. It was as light as a feather and stood steadily in front of them. He quickly pulled out a hermit saber from his back.
Li Yi focused his eyes and looked at him. He looked like a Japanese hermit. He was dressed in black tights and his face was covered, revealing only a pair of fierce eyes. The slender blade of the hermit's blade in his hand flashed.
Ouyang Bo gently placed Li Yi aside and let her lean against a big tree. He took out the sword at his waist and said calmly,""It seems that you have already discovered us."
"Yes, I'm not used to cooperating with others to kill. If I want to kill you, I'll do it myself.”
The killer replied arrogantly. His body moved as gently as a ribbon, and a black shadow pounced on him. Ouyang Bo stood up and replied. He saw figures entangled with each other, dripping with cold light. It was a difficult battle to determine who was the winner. After a few rounds, the black-clothed man did not gain any advantage. With a feint, he flew into the sky and disappeared into the branches and leaves.
This kind of combat technique was very similar to the Japanese stealth technique. Li Yi often watched this kind of martial arts on TV. It would often suddenly disappear and suddenly appear again. She vigilantly pulled out the Bloodthirsty Short Sword from her boot and struggled to get up from the tree. The more open the place was, the easier it was to guard against his sneak attack.
Ouyang Bo observed everything around him and carefully approached Li Yi. The sound of branches breaking could be heard under his feet. As soon as he arrived in front of Li Yi, he looked at her with a smile, and his gaze suddenly became sharp.
Li Yi was stunned, but he reacted quickly. He held the short sword in his hand and stabbed behind him. Her sudden reaction seemed to be out of the man's expectations. The air behind her turned into a black mist, and she quickly retreated. She stopped in the distance and revealed her human form.
"Bloodthirsty Short Sword!" The black-clothed man spoke in horror and reached out to touch his abdomen.
Ouyang Bo supported Li Yi, who had almost fallen. He looked at the dagger in her hand in disbelief and frowned.”
The tip of the dagger had a few drops of red blood on it. In just a few seconds, the blood was completely absorbed by the dagger. With the nourishment of the blood, the Bloodthirsty Short Sword glowed with a faint red halo and trembled slightly. It was like a ferocious beast that thirsted for blood. It was eager to give it a try.
"Give it to me!" Ouyang Bo's face was livid. Just as he touched the dagger in Li Yi's hand, he was bounced back as if he had been electrocuted. He flew three meters away and fell heavily to the ground.
"Ah!" Li Yi screamed and was so frightened that he did not know what to do. No matter how hard she tried to let go, the short sword seemed to have grown into her hand and controlled Li Yi to rush forward.
The man in black fought in a panic. Wherever the dagger's sword qi touched, wounds as thin as silk would inexplicably appear all over his body. Blood slowly seeped out of his skin, which would attract Li Yi's even more ferocious bloodlust.
"Throw it away! Throw it away!" Ouyang Bo shouted anxiously. He took the opportunity to hug Li Yi and hugged her tightly.”
"How did this happen?"
Ouyang Bo did not answer. He quickly took out the dagger sheath from Li Yi's boot and wrapped it around the dagger. The black-robed man let out a scream. His entire body seemed to be cut into pieces by countless steel wires. In an instant, he became a pile of minced meat that scattered on the ground.
The strong smell of blood spread in the air, making the night even more terrifying. This strange scene was far beyond Li Yi's imagination. A person had turned into a pile of meat paste in front of her, and she still did not know how all of this had happened.
"How did this happen?" Li Yi's face was pale as he looked at Ouyang Bo helplessly. He could not help but shiver. She had killed someone. She had inexplicably killed an expert who knew stealth techniques.
"Can I throw it away?" The novel network didn't jump.
"No, I…can't use my strength.”
"Don't worry about it, let's go!" Ouyang Bo picked up Li Yi and ran for his life in panic.
Li Yi's heart was in a mess. She had never seen such a strange thing before. Everything that had just happened made her quickly think that this dagger was an ominous item. He had seen it in TV dramas before. There were weapons that carried unclean things. Once activated, they would be especially crazy about blood. Some of them would even lure their masters into the demonic path. What a ridiculous thing to do. It couldn't be that he encountered such a misfortune, right?
That black-masked man didn't give this dagger to him with the intention of harming him, right? Was he a member of the Liu family? What did he have to do with the Li family? Sun Zhiyang had said that it was a treasure that was hard to come by. It could break hair and cut throats at the sight of blood, but he had never said that it was so evil.
Ouyang Bo carried Li Yi and ran up the mountain as fast as he could. After passing through a forest, his eyes suddenly opened up, and he saw an empty flat land.
It was a naturally formed platform that was the size of a football field. The flat open space was just yellow soil, without any trees or flowers. Because there were no trees blocking the view, the field of vision became wide and clear.
Li Yi looked ahead and said anxiously,"Ouyang, there's a cliff ahead. We can't go any further.”
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"No! It's just that my ankle hurts!"
"Don't pull out the dagger again, understand?”The novel network didn't jump. Ouyang Bo's expression was solemn. He hugged Li Yi and turned around.
Five or six men in black dashed out of the forest and surrounded them.
"I didn't expect Jing Yin to sprinkle reflecting powder on them.”
"This means that they've already killed Jing Yin. That arrogant fellow wouldn't have used this kind of secret tracking powder if he wasn't about to die.”
Ouyang Bo tightened his arms and helplessly put down Li Yi in his arms. He whispered into her ear,"I'll stop them. Run quickly and find a place to hide! Wait for me at the fork at the foot of the mountain after daybreak.”
"Ouyang…"
"I'll be fine! Don't worry about me, run!"
Li Yi endured the pain and held the Bloodthirsty Short Sword tightly in his hand. He knew that staying behind would only distract Ouyang Bo. These people could not have come for Ouyang Bo. They should have come to kill him. The reason why Mother Lian wanted to escape in such a panic was very likely to avoid the pursuit of these people. But she definitely didn't expect them to come so quickly. I wonder how Lian Niang and the others are doing? Had he escaped safely?
The man in black held his sword and charged at Ouyang Bo and Li Yi. The cold light flew around her, and she was hugged by Ouyang Bo and kept dodging. Danger was everywhere, and every move was fatal. These killers 'swordsmanship was extremely high. They didn't have any extra moves. They just slashed and stabbed directly in order to take the other party's life faster. They seemed to have their own unique way of communication. They cooperated seamlessly with each other and suppressed Ouyang Bo to the point where he could only parry but could not fight back. Forget about escaping, if he was not careful, he would become a ghost under the other party's sword.
A cold wind blew in front of him, and Li Yi broke out in a cold sweat. The sharp sword was only three to four centimeters away from him. Ouyang Bo turned around and grunted. The sword slashed across his shoulder, leaving a long bloody wound. The hot blood instantly drenched his shoulder.
Li Yi's heart trembled. If this continued, neither of them would be able to escape. She hurriedly pulled out her dagger and pushed Ouyang Bo away. The men in black immediately split into two teams, and three of them held Ouyang Bo back. He would not let him have any chance to get close to Li Yi.
Li Yi dragged his feet and slowly retreated. Looking at the approaching black-clothed man, he waved the dagger in his hand randomly.
"Do you know what this is? This is a Bloodthirsty Short Sword. If anyone dares to come near me again, don't blame me for being rude!”
"Lord Li, even if you want to lie, you have to find a suitable way to say it. The Bloodthirsty Short Sword has long disappeared from the martial world for many years.”
"How do you think Jing Yin died?" Li Yi asked calmly. He was killed by the Bloodthirsty Short Sword in my hand. If you don't want to die, don't come over. Let us go!”
"Hehe, if the sword in your hand is really a Bloodthirsty Short Sword, then killing you will be even more profitable for us. Everyone knew that the Bloodthirsty Short Sword was a dagger that could cut hair with a single blow, but they did not know that it was actually a sealed divine sword. Whoever could break the seal of the Bloodthirsty Short Sword and become its master would receive its protection. If we kill you, not only will we get a lifetime of wealth, but we will also get a divine sword. Why not?”
