"Among the people I know, there is no one like you. With your inner strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a rival in this world!"
"Huh huh huh... I guess you have good eyesight!" Huo Tianying slowly stopped his momentum and said slightly proudly: "In today's world, when it comes to martial arts cultivation, if I say second place, no one dares to say first place!"
"But... I am a person who should have died long ago. You don't need to know that. You must have never heard of it... You just need to remember that the person who killed you is named Huo Tianying!"
"Hahaha... It seems that you are still a senior person. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Xiang Tianxing laughed loudly after hearing this.
Everyone asked with some confusion: "If you are so powerful, why didn't you directly kill me when you lurked next to me, instead of going through so much trouble?"
"Because my son won't let me!" Huo Tianying stretched out his thumb and pointed at Nan Yanxi behind him: "My son Yanxi said, wouldn't it be boring if I just killed you?"
"It's just that he has to use his own ingenuity to defeat you, that's what it means to have a sense of accomplishment!"
"That's it!" Xiang Tianxing nodded: "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young man, with great ambition!"
Then he gave Huo Tianying a thumbs up and said with admiration: "Your Excellency is right, your martial arts cultivation level is undoubtedly the first, absolutely no one dares to object!"
"But... Your Excellency seems to be a little too confident. It doesn't matter if I can't defeat you, but if I try to escape with all my strength, you may not be able to stop me!"
"Oh? Really?" Huo Tianying still had that indifferent expression, shrugged, and made a gesture of invitation: "In that case, then please..."
Xiang Tianxing covered his chest, leaned against the big tree, and looked around with his eyes.
There is a dense forest not far behind him. As long as he enters the forest, with his skill, even a hundred thousand troops may not be able to catch him.
And Huo Tianying was still eight or nine steps away from him, which was enough.
Thinking of this, Xiang Tianxing sneered and shouted to Nan Yanxi and Huo Tianying: "Farewell!"
Then he turned around and instantly threw out a swarm of darts from his cloak. Each one was glowing with a faint green light, and they looked very poisonous.
Then he sprinkled a handful of highly poisonous poison powder, and then he retreated violently, heading straight for the dense forest not far away!
Seeing this, Huo Tianying had no choice but to back away quickly in order to protect Nan Yanxi behind him, using both palms to shoot all the darts.
At the same time, he grabbed the cloak behind his back and slapped his Qi Luck Dantian fiercely, barely able to block the poisonous powder that followed.
But at this time, Xiang Tianxing had already rushed far away, and the dense jungle was right in front of him. A kind of joy of escaping gradually rose in his heart.
I thought bitterly in my heart that if I kept the green hills, I would not be afraid of running out of firewood. Sooner or later I would pay back the shame of today a hundred times as soon as I could stabilize my position!
Xiang Tianxing thought bitterly, and just when he was about to rush into the jungle, a voice suddenly came from behind.
That voice was clear and sweet, and it was the voice of Xiang Ning'er, his adopted chess piece daughter who was later abandoned as a discarded child.
Just listening to that voice was firm and capable, it seemed that he had grown a lot.
"Raise your gun...!"
"aim...!"
"Prepare...let...!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Tianxing heard the unique sound of a Ming Army standard rifle suddenly coming from behind.
"Bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang..."
For a moment, Xiang Tianxing felt as if his back was pierced by ten thousand arrows, and he could no longer exert even a trace of strength.
There was unwillingness in his eyes as he stared at the dense jungle just around the corner.
"How...how could...this..."
A reluctant voice came out of his mouth with difficulty.
Yes, everything was obviously going so smoothly, everything was calculated, and victory was just around the corner, but in the end it ended up like this.
He was unwilling, very unwilling...!
The vitality in his eyes gradually disappeared, and the tall body that once dominated the Central Plains finally slowly fell.
Xiang Tianxing fell face to face on the grass. Before his last consciousness dissipated, he saw the figure of the little thief Nan Yanxi.
I saw him slowly coming to me, raising the pistol in his hand and pointing it at me, and sneered: "Senior! Times have changed!"
"Snapped!"
After the crisp voice, Nan Yanxi looked at Xiang Tianxing, who was lying lifeless on the ground, and bowed slowly.
Then he turned around and came to Xiang Ning'er, who was having mixed feelings, and patted her shoulder gently: "Just half an hour, after all, we still have big things to do."
"After half an hour, have someone collect this body and go to the city to find me!"
"Yes! Thank you, husband!" Xiang Ning'er nodded and forced a smile at him.
She knew that this was Nan Yanxi asking her to say her final farewell to Xiang Tianxing.
Although Xiang Tianxing only regarded her as a chess piece, he only wanted her to confuse Situ Wen and kill the beloved Concubine Jia.
But in Xiang Ning'er's heart at that time, she really regarded him as her father.
Even though Xiang Yang has clearly shown that he has evil intentions towards her, Xiang Ning'er still firmly believes that her father can seek justice for her.
Until Xiang Yang was ordered to come to kill her, she once thought that Xiang Yang made the decision privately without telling Xiang Tianxing.
Although the truth of all this later came to light, after all, this was the father she once respected and loved.
Nan Yanxi patted her shoulder, gave her a few brief instructions, and left with Huo Tianying.
After all, the army in the distance was still fighting, and there were some emergencies that he needed to deal with, and Xiang Ning'er also needed a space to sort out her mood.
With gratitude in her eyes, it wasn't until Nan Yanxi, Huo Tianying and others slowly left that Xiang Ning'er turned around.
He told the deputy general: "Let's line up, clean the battlefield first, and gather here after burning incense!"
"Yes!" the deputy general agreed, leaving some people to guard, while the others returned to the place where they had just ambush to search and take care of it carefully.
Xiang Ning'er walked forward slowly, looking at Xiang Tianxing who was no longer sound in front of her, thinking about the past.
She didn't speak, she just stood there quietly for a long time...and finally breathed out a breath.
"Okay...just rest..."
After saying a simple sentence, Xiang Ning'er turned around and walked away.
After a while, Xiang Ning'er, who was not far away, could be heard giving orders ably: "Everyone, pay attention!"
"Carefully collect the body of the first thief, Xiang Tianxing, and then quickly line up and return to the city to wait for orders!"
"Yes! General!"
...
At the same time, Xiang Yang, who was thousands of miles away and on the way to escape, suddenly woke up from his horse with a sudden jolt.
The guard who was taking care of him hurriedly said, "What's wrong, young master?"
"Oh...it's nothing..." Xiang Yang shook his head, looked back at the team, and asked, "How long did I sleep?"
"About one stick of incense!" the soldier replied: "Now we have entered the Minzhou border, and we will cross the Minjiang River not far ahead."
