There is a black market underground in Tania City - this concept has existed more or less in the minds of most people who have been in the Duchy for a long time. However, due to the things they usually dabble in or lack of prestige and status, it is very difficult to find a black market.
Few people have truly come into contact with this place. Relying on his status as a high-ranking person in the world, Crimson Cangyan has seen some powerful members and goods in the underground black market in the past, but he was so careless in killing people in the underground passages like today.
Killing him was the first time he led someone to do it.
This is the third time Crimson Cangyan has returned to the underground. Of course, what counts here is not the previous history, but the number of times he has gone back and come back again within this day.
"Go and feel... what it feels like to be deflated, hahahaha!"
Fuck you uncle...
Recalling in his mind the expression of gloating on the face of a certain bearded uncle when he assigned him this task, Crimson Cangyan, who reluctantly returned to the central area, exchanged glances with several members of the Jianghu who stayed here.
Then he moved forward silently and set off again along the trajectory of the targets' westward escape. Several other companions who hung back with him also slowly gathered in the process, constantly appearing in front and behind the team.
Left and right, and then as the criss-crossing waterways gradually gathered and enlarged, a large well-trained pursuit team was assembled again. The sound of battle was accompanied by the sound of rushing water from time to time, appearing vaguely in the crimson sky.
In front of Yan, he stopped and gestured to the others behind him, and then listened to the screams coming from the front again, showing a bitter smile.
That voice... was Chenyu Canyue? How many times had he heard it?
The footsteps mixed with the sound of surging water began to diverge to the surroundings, and then disappeared around the passage as the people in the team dispersed. Crimson Cangyan shook his head and turned his eyes to the battlefield ahead, a little indifferently.
He shook his sword and said: "Why do I always meet the real owner first when I come here?"
"This means you are lucky." In the reflective shadow, a black figure slowly raised his long sword: "Or... you are not lucky."
"I guess it's the latter, although I don't know why I got involved in this kind of thing."
Crimson Cangyan let out a breath, then stepped forward through the sound of water: "It's like I don't know why things turned out like this..."
"Can't we sit down and have a nice talk?"
"The words are very clear."
The sword edge in his hand was still dripping with blood, and Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "It's you who are looking for trouble."
"That's... forget it."
Somewhat helplessly, he stretched out a finger upwards, and Crimson Cangyan sighed sadly: "Although you have killed me twice, I still repeat it again - please cooperate with us to go back, we will
The elders are still waiting for you."
"They've been killing for a whole day, do they still have the time to wait?"
A few low laughs came out from the shadows, and then gradually subsided, replaced by Duan Qing's erratic voice, which appeared at the left and right side of Crimson Cangyan: "You have this energy to control us...you are not afraid.
Were you attacked by Wings of Freedom?"
"This is an order given to me." Crimson Cangyan replied in a deep voice: "The enemies of the guild forces will naturally be dealt with by other brothers. My current task... is to take you back. We don't want to use violence.
To resolve this matter, we don’t want to turn you into our enemies. Since we haven’t officially broken up with each other yet, it doesn’t matter if we die a few times. As long as you look back now..."
puff.
The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh suddenly sounded on one side of the passage. It was the sound of a member of the martial arts being stabbed into the heart by a secret dagger. However, what surprised Crimson Cangyan was that the figure that appeared next was not the legendary Gao Shen.
The unpredictable code word Ninglan was replaced by a girl in a purple cloak: "Stop pretending to be a good person! When you come up, you want to take action, and you throw away baskets of swords and magic. Doesn't this look like the work of someone who wants to solve the problem?
Is it something... Hey, where is uncle? I clearly heard his voice just now..."
Wait a minute, if we can send the others back first...
"I haven't noticed for a few days... I've grown a lot in my abilities."
The erratic voice startled Crimson Cangyan, who was in a daze, into a cold sweat again. When he turned around, Duan Qing was not seen in his sight: "Did you learn two moves from Ninglan?"
"No, I'm obviously very strong, okay?"
The girl hiding in the side passage shouted in a dull voice, and then her voice became more urgent as if she remembered something: "Uncle, please be careful, Xiao Hongchen hasn't come back for a long time, they must be in various pubs and hotels
There are manpower deployed inside, waiting for us to hang back together."
"..."
"Uncle? Uncle! Don't be angry. He was just trying to protect Qian Zhihe..."
Buzz!
The sword blade wrapped in fiery red light suddenly appeared at the end of the passage, and then quickly approached with the sound of hurried footsteps, revealing the scene in the depths of the passage, along with Mengzhu's frightened expression. The hurried response was
The girl raised her dagger, barely able to deflect the attack of the scorching sword shadow in front of her. A certain swordsman, who was also reflected in red, stared closely behind her figure, while another black shadow was carrying a shooting star.
With the same steps, he jumped up quickly.
"...Why are you shouting? They are still nearby."
The fiery red sword blade suddenly spun around, colliding with the sword shadow that was about to cut into his back, and then flew towards the depths of the passage with Duan Qing's words: "What's more..."
"Do you still need to remind me that I can't die?"
boom!
The sound of the figure hitting the wall echoed loudly in the underground waterway that had become as high as two people. Crimson Cangyan, who was holding a fiery red sword, gritted his teeth and turned over, avoiding the second attack that followed. In the darkness
But one of his hands suddenly stretched out and grabbed his ankle.
The same moves...don't even think about it!
A flash of light flashed in his eyes. Crimson Cangyan turned sideways and threw out a fiery red sweep with the long sword in his hand, slashing over his chest while he was lying on the ground. The back of his arm, which was gradually illuminated by the firelight, belonged to Duan Qingpu.
Xiang's figure appeared in the sword light attached with flame magic. He smiled softly, but the pounce action that could no longer be changed was suddenly twisted, and then with his body turned 360 degrees, he
The short sword in his right hand was embedded in the edge of the damp stone wall. In the loud clashing sound of the sword bodies, the black sword shadow and the fiery red sword blade sharpened a series of sparks. Finally, as this horizontal slash stopped, the only one who could
The light source that illuminated this place slowly went out: "So fast..."
"My sword is faster than you think."
In the darkness, Duan Qing threw the dragged body to the ground, and then slashed at the opponent's neck with a sword: "The reason..."
"Go back and ask Duan Shanyue yourself."
A white light once again lit up in the passage, and then it returned to calm as the blood spattered down. Mengzhu's careful steps began to approach slowly, and at the same time, her voice that had not calmed down sounded:
"Well, um... are you okay?"
"Of course, I'm just in a bad mood."
Duan Qing shook his sword and said without looking back: "Being threatened in the face by others, and being hunted for a day and a night... No one would be able to maintain better than me.
"
"It's all, it's all my fault..."
"……Um?"
"When I learned the news, I ran over to argue with them, but the big bosses didn't answer my questions at all and kicked me out... Don't look at me like that, I'm just afraid
You're just not happy either, I didn't expect them to... be so vindictive..."
"Ha...it probably doesn't have much to do with you, so stop thinking about it."
Stopping at the other end of the passage, Duan Qing shook his head to comfort the somewhat overwhelmed girl: "In comparison..."
"This time Jianghu actually exerted so much effort... It's not as simple as settling a personal feud."
"Private... personal hatred?"
"Even if that guy Chenyu Cangyue is instigating, Old Scarface will not go to such lengths to hunt down irrelevant personnel like us at this critical moment."
A sword energy suddenly flew into another passage as Duan Qing swung the sword from behind, knocking a figure who passed by there quietly to the ground. He exhaled a long breath, and then continued to explain.
: "So...either they hate us, or...they have determined our guilt."
"Do we have a big grudge against them?" Mengzhu, who was following behind, asked.
"Accurately... I have it with them, but there is no reason for them to bring out these dark histories in this extraordinary period." Duan Qing replied thoughtfully: "Last night's battle, and the battle that will follow this day.
...If it's Duan Fenglei, this kind of behavior is not his style...Well, wait a minute."
Seemingly attracted by the sword blow and the screams of their dead companions, more pursuers began to gather here. The two men quietly hid in a certain passage for a while, and then suddenly broke out in another.
Running out of a battle in a passage: "As for the second reason..."
"We are not twenty-five boys!"
"Everyone knows that we are not, but... the change in the wind direction cannot be revealed just by talking."
Duan Qing grinned in the darkness: "Maybe..."
"It's unclear what evidence they have."
"Evidence? How could there be something like that..."
boom--
The swaying ball of fire suddenly fell in front of the passage, setting off a huge wind wave. While exploding the water in the underground sewer, it also blew the expanding air into the passage, blowing Duan Qing and Mengzhu away.
The individual figure fell to the ground. The constant sound of metal collisions sounded behind them. At the same time, there was a slender figure who temporarily blocked the pursuers in the passage. In the smoke that gradually dissipated in front of them,
, someone laughed arrogantly like a pirate who had just obtained a treasure, and sounded from the chaotic footsteps: "Hahahahaha! I didn't expect it! I knew you would run west, so I waited early.
it's here……"
"There is actually an entrance here?"
"Of course, don't forget who we are. We have a relationship with the nobles of the principality... Hey, why are you here?"
Chenyu Canyue, who was shaking his head, was startled. The body that was standing in front also took a step back, and then stood up in the crowd who were staring at Duan Qing, as if he was pretending to be a tiger: "Ha, I thought I was just arresting
There is a mage living here, and it turns out that you are also here, so don’t blame us for taking the blame..."
"If I remember correctly, you have died by my hands three times, right?"
"Stop, stop talking nonsense! Moshang Qingshan! How can you bully me alone? There are so many of us now, how can we beat me to death if we can?"
"...To appear in front of me so fearlessly, could it be that you have obtained some kind of Shangfang sword?"
"Why, do you know to take into account the consequences now? It's too late! Not only is the Sword of Justice, you are now the enemy of the entire principality. The rebellion you have done, and the revenge you have for killing me so many times...
…When our new wanted order is announced to the world, they will all be counted together!”
"...It seems that you really want to turn us into a treasonous adventure group."
"You don't have to say it so harshly. We are not framed against you, but we have a lot of information to report on you... Hey, why should I tell you this?"
As if he realized that he was too much, the arrogant figure in the darkness closed his mouth, and a stern sword energy appeared immediately, slashing towards the crowd where the black figure was: "Okay,
Then you are useless."
"let's go!"
"Cough cough, cough cough...wait a moment! Stop right here!"
"Ninglan! Qian!"
"Fire...blast!"
"ah--"
The girl's charm and the flames that once again devoured the passage rushed to the left and right of the crowd, and then as several black shadows jumped out one after another, carrying the previous screams of pain and the shouts of the pursuers further west.
.The gradually merging waterways and the merging pursuers were still amplifying. During the silent and fast march, Mengzhu's slightly frightened voice sounded in everyone's ears again: "We..."
Wow——
The amplified sound of water suddenly appeared in front of several people as they turned the next corner. They suddenly stopped running and looked at the circular sewer exit reflected in the gloomy sky.
Panting, he stopped. The figure of Ningyu Ninglan, who was still spotless, disappeared next to Duan Qing. It was unknown where he lurked in the passage, and a man in a windbreaker with his hands raised was facing Duan Qing.
Where he was waiting for others, he kept explaining to the crowd blocking in front of him with a helpless expression: "...So what does this matter have to do with me? Let's discuss it and let me live, okay?"
"Let you out...okay."
In the circular crossing that was more than ten meters wide, Duan Feng Lei, who lowered his head, chuckled twice: "Once you understand the deal between you and...Moshang Qingshan, you can leave at will."
"Breaking Wind and Thunder!"
It seemed that they were aware of each other's presence. Confrontation and silence also appeared in front of and behind the exit where the sound of water was surging as Duan Qing shouted. He took a step forward and turned around on the faces behind the scar-faced man.
In a circle, it finally crossed Huanmeng's body and returned to him: "If you have any idea, come to me!"
"Hey Hey Hey……"
Scar twisted with laughter for a while, and Duan Feng Lei, who also made a circle, touched his eyebrows with his hand: "That's just right..."
"The real owners are all here."
