Ye Xing held a blade of grass in his mouth as he held his head with both hands. He was bored as he looked at the non-stop chattering Tianming and Ge Nia, who was patiently listening on the side. Even he felt a little pity for Ge Nia. He didn't know how Ge Nia could endure this! What a headache!
Ever since the Black Swordsman's attack a few days ago, for some reason, no Qin soldiers had come to harass them for a few consecutive days. Although it was strange, Ye Xing was too lazy to investigate the reason. It was just nice that he did not need to scout from high above!
However, it had only been a few days, and Tianming's feelings for Ge Nia had improved by leaps and bounds. He would go to the uncle whenever he wanted, and he would always talk about the uncle. Even Ye Xing couldn't stand his clinginess. Fortunately, Ge Nia had a good temper.
Fortunately, Ye Xing had also witnessed the Tianming Sect's Ge Nia's roast chicken technique yesterday. When Ye Xing recalled that scene, it was so mushy that he trembled.
"Sigh!"
Although the peaceful days were also very good, it made Ye Xing's wish to borrow Qin soldiers to practice his sword skills in actual combat come to nothing." Is it not bad to have some pursuers occasionally?”Ye Xing thought in a somewhat despicable manner!
"Yes!" Ge Nia's figure suddenly paused." Uncle, what's the matter?”Tianming saw Ge Nia's strange behavior and asked curiously. Ye Xing also glanced at Ge Nia!
"It's fine. Let's continue walking!"
"Oh! Uncle, let me tell you…"
Seeing Tianming and Ge Nia continue to nag, Ye Xing was not as perfunctory as Tianming. His eyes seemed to be casually observing the movements on both sides of the forest, but he did not find anything unusual!
No abnormality is a big abnormality! "Could it be that my jinx was right?”Ye Xing kept his guard up and continued to rush on with caution.
"We are not far from the Stone Gate Gorge. As long as we leave the Stone Gate Gorge, the control of the State of Qin will be weaker and the situation will be much better.”

In a secret room in Zhongche Mansion in Xianyang, Zhao Gao was playing with his fingers as he listened to his subordinates reporting the situation in various places!
"Lord, Lord Soul Chaser requests to retreat!”
"Oh! What's wrong?"
"Lord Soul Chaser said that it might be very dangerous to continue chasing!”
"Danger! His intuition?" Zhao Gao's voice sounded a little surprised!
"Yes!"
"Then let him come back and participate in another plan!”
"Yes!"
"Daren has something to say, but I don't know if I should say it!”
"Speak!" The feminine voice sounded again.
"My lord! Why didn't we send the six lords to deal with Ge Nia? Wouldn't those people have died for nothing?”
Zhao Gao only twirled the jade thumb ring in his hand and did not say anything. The atmosphere was a little oppressive for a moment! After a long time, Zhao Gao said indifferently,"
"Always remember not to underestimate any enemy. When the prey is not completely exhausted, he will always have the possibility of breaking free from the net again!
Do you think that the Prime Minister who can help His Majesty pacify the six countries is so simple? The power he controlled was not as simple as it seemed on the surface! He was testing me, and he was testing Ge Nia!
Furthermore, this is a mission that His Majesty has given to the Prime Minister. Without His Majesty's orders, how can we, the lethal weapons of the empire, act rashly? If we send the Six Sword Slaves, what chance will Ge Nia have to live? He still has some value. He can help me attract some attention and help us accomplish something! It was gratifying to send those people to accomplish something, but it was not a big deal if they failed!”
The figure in the shadows said respectfully,""Your Excellency is far-sighted, I admire you!”
"Mhm, did you find out about the background of the two children beside Ge Nia?”Zhao Gao said with interest.
"Sir, we only found out that the boy who can fly suddenly appeared in that small town a year ago. As for the other child, he had only traced it back to more than two years ago. There was no news of them any further!”
"Oh? Interesting, interesting. These two children didn't look simple!”Zhao Gao raised his voice!
"However, I'm more interested in that flying kid. Do you have any other information?”
"Your Excellency, this humble servant has recently discovered that there are many people who are interested in this brat!”
"Oh! What are they?"
"The Mo family, Gongshu, Quicksand, and finally, there's a subordinate who's not too sure. They're all gathering information on this kid!”
"It should be Yin Yang!"
"I dare not speak nonsense!"
"Hmph, I didn't expect this kid to be able to attract so much attention. Let's see if we can get to know him. Such a talent should serve our network.”
"Yes!"
"En! You may leave."
"I'll take my leave!"
"Mo Family, Gongshu, Quicksand, Yin Yang!”The feminine voice muttered.
" Interesting…"
········
At the gate of Sang Hai, two figures in black robes, one tall and one short, slowly walked out of the gate with the crowd! After the two of them walked around and realized that there were no pursuers behind them, they arrived at a dense forest.
The slightly short and fat old man said first,"Giant, the reputation of the scholarly faction's Mister Zhang Liang is indeed well-deserved! The Little Sage Manor was indeed worthy of being called the Holy Land of Confucianism!”
"Master Ban, the three heroes of Qilu are all true talents!”A steady male voice sounded!
"Sigh, I really want to see Mr. First of Little Sage Manor. Mr. Second is really very talented!”
"There will be opportunities in the future!"
"Giant, we've already informed everyone. We're just waiting for the gathering later! What should we do next?"
"Didn't Ge Nia's report come a few days ago? According to the information, there should be a good show at Stone Gate Gorge in a few days. Since we have nothing to do, it's good for us to go and take a look. We can also meet Ge Nia.”
"I'm only interested in that little brat who can fly!”
Master Ban, let's go!"
········
As they got closer to Shimen Gorge, the scenery that Ye Xing and the others saw became more and more desolate. The originally fertile farmland had long dried up and was dry. On both sides of the road, one could occasionally see faint bones. The dried and exposed trees were no longer as green as before, and their claws were terrifying.
Everywhere was yellow. In the sky, on the branches, countless hoarse and unpleasant "quack quack" sounds made people upset!
At first glance, such a scene was shocking, but if you looked at it too much, you would ignore its existence.
"Annoying crows, their cries are so unpleasant!”
Tianming complained. Ye Xing asked with a mysterious expression,""Tianming, do you know why there are so many crows here?”
"Why?" Tianming asked with a confused expression.
Ye Xing raised his head and looked at the desolate scenery again. He sighed and said,"Corpses! Crows would only appear in places where there were too many dead people? Because that's their food!" Ye Xing deliberately said the last sentence in a gloomy tone.
Tianming shivered and carefully looked around." Many people and horses died here?”
"More, it's more than just more!"
"Why did so many people die here at Ye Xing?”
"Decades ago, this place was also filled with verdant fields! Didn't you see the dilapidated houses along the way? Those were the places where the farmers used to live. They used to live a happy and healthy life here! However, the war destroyed everything, causing countless people to lose their lives, become homeless, and eventually starve to death!”
"How, how could this be!" Tianming's voice was a little dry!
"Why not? Tianming is still in the original territory of the State of Qin. When you leave the Stone Gate Gorge, you will realize that it is even better than here!”
"This…"
"Alright, Tianming, let's not talk about this anymore. Hehe, do you know what crows are called?”Ye Xing eased the atmosphere and said!
After the heavy topic was gone, Tianming also seemed to relax a little. He asked curiously,"What?"
"You guess!"
"Don't keep me in suspense. Hurry up and tell me!”Tian Ming was teased by Ye Xing and asked.
"Hehe, let me tell you. Crows are also known as the messengers of death. Usually, the appearance of a large number of crows means that many lives will be lost!”Ye Xing chuckled.
Tianming subconsciously looked up at the numerous crows on their heads and swallowed his saliva." Ye Xing, you're joking, right?”
"Hehe, who knows? You need to observe for yourself!”
Under Ye Xing's reminder, Tianming's attention began to notice the waist-deep bushes on both sides of the road! Gradually, Tianming's expression became serious!
Tian Ming hurried over to Ye Xing Ge Nie's side and said in a low voice,"Ye Xing, Uncle, someone seems to be following us!”
Ge Nia did not pay attention to Tianming or the rustling sounds that were gradually increasing in the surroundings. He only faintly replied,"Yes!"
"Uncle! You, you already knew."
"They've been following us for a few days!”
At this moment, Ye Xing interrupted decisively,"It's only because your reaction was so slow that you only realized it now!"”
At this time, Tianming had no intention of quarreling with Ye Xing! "Ah, even Ye Xing already knew about this. Then, then what should we do?!"”
"We've been surrounded!" Ge Nia's expression remained indifferent.
"Be careful, Tianming!”Before Tianming could respond, Ye Xing leaped into the sky. Under the dim setting sun, his golden bat wings suddenly spread out, and Ye Xing's figure flew into the sky!
At the same time, countless black-clothed figures rose from the bushes around them. All kinds of strange weapons flickered with a terrifying cold light under the reflection of the setting sun!
At this moment, Ye Xing's pupils contracted. His body subconsciously flapped his bat wings and dodged to the right. A sharp cry pierced through his original position.
Ye Xing, who had dodged the arrow, quickly left the attack range of the arrow. He pulled out the crossbow from his waist and skillfully aimed!
At this moment, Tianming had yet to come back to his senses, and after Ye Xing was out of danger, the humming Deep Rainbow in Ge Nia's hand gradually calmed down. Ge Nia raised his left thumb, and the Deep Rainbow was unsheathed!
Ye Xing stared blankly at Ge Nia's figure, even forgetting to aim! Was this the strength of a top-notch swordsman? Elegant, agile, and fast, Ge Nia put on a one-sided battle!
There was only life and death, no victory or defeat. This was a massacre. Ge Nia's body moved around, and every time he attacked, he would take a life. He didn't give these people any chance to get close to dawn, because they all died on the way!
The battle started quickly and ended even faster. Before Ye Xing and Tian Ming could recover, the battle had already ended!
Under the setting sun, Ge Nia's back was facing them, and beneath his feet were countless corpses of his enemies. He held a coarse cloth that had been cut from somewhere and gently wiped the rainbow!
Ge Nia's body seemed so tall under the setting sun!
