Dayan is a hundred miles northwest of Yanjing, deep in Manglong Mountain.
In the dense woods, clanking metal sounds were heard one after another. Dozens of cold rays of light that were fired towards Qin Yun were all shot down by the Nu Cang Sword before they could get close to him.
But when Qin Yun was concentrating on dealing with the hidden weapon, suddenly a silvery stream of light appeared out of thin air from behind, and silently moved toward his neck, creating a long light and shadow. The speed was simply unbelievable!
At the moment when the blade was about to hit Qin Yun, he suddenly woke up, suddenly lowered his shoulders and turned around, swung the sword towards his back, the blade tore through the air and let out a low whistle, and the hot sword energy stimulated the fire.
fly she.
laugh!
With a sound like the tearing of brocade silk, Qin Yun's body-protecting energy was cut open by the blade, but his counterattack sword fell into the air and failed to hit the back at all.
of enemies.
There is no doubt that Qin Yun lost a move in this round of battle!
But he was not discouraged at all. He straightened his chest again and held his sword in front of him. His desire and momentum to fight continued unabated, and his dark eyes were filled with anger and ferocious flames.
Because the enemy really appeared in his sight for the first time.
Less than twenty steps away from Qin Yun, a man in black stood quietly on the fallen leaves. The dagger held in his left hand shone with silver light, like the light of the cold moon in the dark night, cold and strange.
His body was on the thin side, and he was wrapped in black clothes. His face was covered with a scarf and his true appearance could not be seen. Only a pair of dark eyes stared at Qin Yun coldly, cold and ruthless, as if he was not like him.
It's human.
In Qin Yun's opinion, this enemy with unknown origin was mysterious and dangerous, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Who are you?"
The man in black didn't answer, but there was a look of disdain in his eyes.
He suddenly raised his arms and crossed them in front of him to protect himself. A cloud of black smoke suddenly rose from under his feet, expanding and spreading in all directions at an alarming speed, completely covering the man in black in an instant!
After Qin Yun's sword energy dispersed the black smoke, the opponent had disappeared without a trace.
Only this time, the opponent was not sneaking around waiting for another sneak attack, but actually left.
It can be said that this battle ended before it really started. The disappearance of the man in black gave off a strange aura as did his appearance, and he still escaped with the upper hand, which was very confusing.
Qin Yun stayed there for a moment, with a faint smile on his face and no trace of anger in his eyes.
He put away the Wrath Sword and returned back the way he came from without haste. It didn't take long for him to return to his original place.
Yan Lingyun and Fang Feicheng were relieved to see Qin Yun back safely.
Qin Yun shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The opponent was a masked man and very strong. After we exchanged a few moves, he retreated and I did not continue to pursue him."
"Ordinary people can't enter Shanglinyuan..." Yan Lingyun muttered: "This matter is very strange!"
Fang Feicheng said: "We'd better go back first. I don't think it's very safe here. We have to be careful during the hunt tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and we can't go too deep into the mountains, otherwise it will be difficult to get support if something happens."
Yan Lingyun did not object, nodded and said: "Okay, let's go back to the manor first."
The sky gradually darkened, and the group hurriedly embarked on the return journey.
And in the dark depths of the distant woods, the man in black who had briefly fought with Qin Yun was kneeling in front of another man in black, his lips moving quickly as he recounted the entire battle.
"... Qinggong and body skills are very strong. He can catch up with my Wind Step. His reaction is very sharp. His sword skills are good but his sword speed is not fast enough. He obviously does not understand our secret skills. His strength is almost at the beginning of the moon level. According to your
He ordered me not to fight with him and retreated after two rounds of fighting."
"You did a good job..." The man in black robe nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and a cold smile appeared on his pale face: "He may have retained some strength, but it doesn't matter, I have recorded your credit!
"
This man in black robe is taller. Although he is not as tightly wrapped as the man in black, he feels as if he is completely integrated into the darkness.
"Thank you, sir!" The man in black was immediately overjoyed.
He knows very well how precious the other party's commitment is. A credit represents glory and wealth!
The man in black robe had a trace of undetectable sarcasm on his lips. He turned around and looked to the southeast. His deep gaze seemed to penetrate through the dense forest and the thick twilight!
At dusk, in the royal manor of Shanglinyuan in Yanjing, it seemed like the mist of the morning.
A huge burning bonfire stood in the center of the grassland. The extremely bright flame drove away the darkness and emitted heat that could make people's blood boil. The disciples from the royal family sat around the bonfire, enjoying the relaxation and peace after the hunt.
joy.
The skinned and cleaned prey was coated with a thick layer of dressing, and two muscular, shirtless men carefully roasted it. The tender white meat was filled with golden fat and made a sizzling sound.
The smell of barbecued meat and spices filled the air, making people salivate.
The high-status royal family members gathered together in small groups. Although this was a gathering of the younger generation of the royal family, they were still divided into different camps, and they were clearly distinct from each other.
A guard warrior served the roasted antelope leg to Yan Lingyun. The latter used the dagger he carried to cut off the tenderest part and divided it into two plates. He served it to Fang Feicheng and Qin Yun with his own hands: "Both junior brothers have worked hard today.
, come and taste the fruits of our victory!”
The results of the first day's hunting had just been tallied up, and the team led by Yan Lingyun ranked fifth out of all forty-seven teams, which made him very happy.
Although the Shanglin Garden Hunting is a royal entertainment event, as a prince who is qualified to compete for the position of crown prince, if his performance in leading the team is too bad, he will definitely be laughed at secretly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!" Fang Feicheng took the plate with both hands fearfully.
"Thank you, senior brother!" Qin Yun smiled.
Regardless of their family status, realm strength or status and connections in the sect, Fang Feicheng is definitely above Qin Yun, but in terms of his attitude towards Yan Lingyun, Qin Yun is far more detached and natural than the former.
This is determined by the different positions of both parties.
The meat was grilled to a very high standard, and even a person like Qin Yun, who was not picky about food, was full of praise for the food. The wine made by the royal family was even more mellow, and there was a beautiful maid serving beside him.
Can be picky.
Since Qin Yun became a disciple of the Tiancheng Sword Sect, he has either practiced hard behind closed doors or gone out to practice. He rarely has such an opportunity to enjoy himself comfortably. The night breeze was filled with laughter and joy, and his whole body relaxed.
Unfortunately, Qin Yun's good mood only lasted for a moment, and was quickly broken by an arrogant voice.
"That so and so, get out of here, princess!"
I saw Yan Feifei leading a group of pink women's soldiers charging straight towards them in a menacing manner.
The twelfth princess of Dayan wore deerskin boots and held a long whip with red tassels in her hand. Her attitude of calling for punishment scared the guard maid next to her and she hurriedly hid aside.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yan Lingyun immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Twelve sisters, what's the matter?"
Yan Feifei stopped, pointed his whip at Qin Yun, who was still sitting on the ground, and said in a hateful voice: "You are so brave, your subordinate, you dare to deceive this princess, let's see how I teach him a lesson!"
Snap!
She actually raised her long whip and whipped it directly towards Qin Yun. The whip tore through the air and made a crackling sound. Both the technique and the strength were not ordinary. She was obviously very good at using the whip.
Looking at the flying whip, Qin Yun immediately jumped up from the ground with his eyebrows raised.
Others may be in awe of the identity of the twelfth princess of Dayan, but how could he show weakness and fear? It would be a great shame and humiliation if he was really whipped by the other party's whip!
The eyes of Yan Lingyun next to him flashed, and he suddenly struck with lightning, waving his five fingers in the air to activate five invisible energies, instantly cutting the newly unfolded long whip into six pieces, and all of them fell to the ground before they could reach Qin Yun.
Just this move showed his tyrannical strength.
Yan Feifei was furious, glared at Yan Lingyun and shouted: "Brother Qi, are you going to go against me for this short-sighted subordinate? Have you thought about the consequences?"
Yan Lingyun stopped her hand and said calmly: "Twelve sisters, this is my fellow junior brother. He is neither my subordinate nor your slave. You can't beat him or scold him if you want. And I don't think he
You have done something wrong, but you are spoiled and cannot tell right from wrong!"
His words were absolutely stern at the end, and they were so shocking that Yan Feifei took two steps back involuntarily, with a look of disbelief in her eyes.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" The unruly princess's eyes were red, she pointed at Qin Yun and shouted: "You actually fell out with me for such a person, I will go to my father to sue you!"
She stamped her feet vigorously, whimpered, turned around and ran quickly, almost knocking a maid over.
There was silence all around. Everyone was watching the lottery show, some shaking their heads in confusion, some gloating, and some frowning as if they were thinking about something, with various expressions.
Yan Lingyun didn't pay attention to other people's eyes, turned to Qin Yun and said: "My sister is spoiled rotten by others. I made you laugh, junior brother, let's sit down and continue drinking and eating meat!"
Qin Yun shook his head and said: "I should be the one who caused trouble for you, senior brother..."
"There's no trouble!" Yan Lingyun waved her hands flatly and said, "That's how the Twelve Sisters behave. She must have been instigated by someone to come here to do the lottery. It's impossible for my father to punish me for such a trivial matter, so you
Just don’t worry, there won’t be any trouble.”
"Actually, I think this is not bad. At least she won't come to trouble you again in the future!"
