Lin Zheyu carried a rucksack on his back and a pocket in his pocket, wandering towards the outside of the city.
Along the way, he felt a lot of eyes looking at him.
In the small alley at the city gate.
An old man carried this vegetable basket and walked out of the alley.
He staggered and seemed to have some difficulty with his right leg.
The old man didn't see Lin Zheyu's figure. As he was walking, he stumbled and accidentally bumped into him.
"Ah, sorry, sorry."
The old man apologized quickly.
His eyes were extremely flustered, with a hint of panic, as if he was worried that Lin Zheyu would blame him.
"Old man, are you okay?"
Lin Zheyu helped the old man up without blaming him.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm really sorry for bumping into you accidentally." The old man said apologetically.
"It's okay, be careful next time you walk."
Lin Zheyu waved his hand and asked the old man to leave.
Watching the old man leave, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Interesting."
"They are really well prepared. It seems they have been planning for a long time." Lin Zheyu said secretly.
The old man just pretended to bump into him accidentally, then stretched out his right hand without leaving a trace, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and smeared unfamiliar white powder on the corners of his clothes.
The smell of this powder is so weak that you can’t even detect it without distinguishing it carefully.
"Fatty Xing's arrangement?"
"Is this their tracking method?"
"The only one known to be targeting me in Songyi City is Fatty Xing."
Lin Zheyu thought to himself.
He glanced at the white mark on the corner of his clothes with the corner of his eye, but did not remove it.
Regardless of whether it’s Fatty Xing or not, as long as he is targeted, let’s deal with it together.
The only strength Lin Zheyu has shown is the Bone Forging Realm. He does not believe that anyone would send a warrior from the Qi and Blood Realm to assassinate him.
This is simply a cannon to fight mosquitoes, overkill and underutilizing.
As long as they are not in the Qi and Blood realm, he can easily kill them.
……
"The white powder has already been on that boy, luckily he has lived up to his fate."
The old man walked forward for more than a hundred meters, walked into a fabric store, and said to the middle-aged man inside.
"Very good, things were done well. Let's go down and receive the reward."
The middle-aged man said with a smile.
In his hand he held a small animal that looked like a mink and a mouse, with gray fur.
The man stretched out his hand and scratched the little guy's chin, causing the little guy to squeak.
"After being contaminated with white powder, a faint smell will remain in the places you pass within an hour."
"No matter how fast you are in Qinggong and how strong your hiding ability is, you can't escape now."
The middle-aged man whispered.
The little guy in his hand is named Zhuifeng Gray Marten, and his nose is the most sensitive.
They like to eat a plant called white wormwood and are extremely sensitive to the smell of this plant.
Many people tame the gray ferrets for tracking purposes.
……
Outside the city, there are no more refugees.
In the dead of winter, it’s freezing outside, and the refugees with no way out have turned into withered bones in the ground.
Lin Zheyu took out the map, determined the location of the Lion Valley, and headed southwest.
Lion Valley is a valley thirty miles away.
The valley is surrounded by high mountains, and only a few remote paths can pass through it. Those who are not familiar with it will not be able to find the way into the Lion Valley.
In the Lion Valley, poisonous insects and ferocious beasts are rampant, and there are also powerful strange beasts.
Without someone who is familiar with the environment inside to lead you, it will be extremely dangerous after entering.
Many people who couldn't survive and became bandits in the mountains gathered in the Lion Valley.
Here, Lion Valley is a natural barrier that can block them from the encirclement and suppression of the army.
"These villages and fields are deserted."
"I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times. Living in troubled times, ordinary people suffer too much."
Along the way, many villages on the road have been deserted.
The fields are overgrown with weeds and have been abandoned.
"Hey, there are still people living there."
After walking for about five miles, Lin Zheyu finally saw a human figure.
It was a village group composed of large courtyards. The houses in the village were made of mud bricks, sand and gravel, and built into tall courtyards like castles.
The layout of these houses is extremely exquisite, and they can be used as defensive positions in times of war.
"This is the Majiazhuang that Xie Jiang mentioned!" Lin Zheyu secretly thought.
Everyone in Majiazhuang practices martial arts, and people in the village rely on forging iron and hunting as their main means of livelihood.
This is a powerful village, with everyone from the eighty-year-olds to the babblers practicing martial arts.
Moreover, Majiazhuang is extremely united and has many good players.
Lin Zheyu looked from a distance and saw that there were several men patrolling outside Zhuangzi, but their clothes were a little shabby and had a few patches on them.
Although Zhuangzi survived, it was not easy for them.
Outside Songyi City, there are many large surviving villages. Lin Zheyu saw three of them along the way.,
He even saw experts in the Zang Refining Realm among those patrolling.
Keep moving.
Lin Zheyu did not take the main road, but chose remote and difficult trails.
After walking about two miles, he stopped in a remote dense forest.
He took off his coat that was stained with marks, threw it aside in the grass, moved his body, and ran into the grass on the other side to hide.
……
Outside Songyi City, a group of people galloped past on horseback.
After running for three miles, they stopped.
The middle-aged man next to Xing Jinglong took out a gray ferret chasing the wind, sniffed the air, squeaked, and tried to rush out by waving it.
"Sir, we're right in front," the middle-aged man said.
"Chase!"
"I don't believe you can escape from my grasp this time!"
Xing Jinglong sneered.
This time, he brought along two masters in Zang Refining Realm, both of whom had good attainments in Qing Gong.
In addition to these two Zang-Refining Realm masters, they also asked Xing Penghai for ten elite soldiers.
With such full preparations, he didn't believe that Lin Zheyu, a small person in the bone forging realm, could escape from him again.
Da Da
Da da da
The sound of horse hooves sounded, raising clouds of smoke and dust.
……
In a secluded mountain forest.
There are many wild mountains and ridges in the wild. As long as you are not near the main road, it is difficult to encounter bandits.
Lin Zheyu's cat stayed in the grass for nearly half an hour. It was quiet all around, and some wild animals appeared from time to time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Da Da
Da da da
The sound of galloping horses came from far to near.
Faintly, you can hear the neighing of horses in the distance, and the vibration of horse hooves as they run.
"Coming!"
His expression changed, and the Turtle Breathing Technique was operating at full strength, and the aura on his body dropped again and again, to an almost imperceptible level.
He jumped up to the tree and looked at the crowd rushing towards him in the distance.
That group of people was headed by Xing Jinglong, a guy Lin Zheyu had met several times.
"Sure enough, it's you!" Lin Zheyu secretly said.
After counting the number of people, there were twenty people in total.
Ten of them were wearing city guard armor and were the soldiers Xing Jinglong asked Xing Penghai to mobilize.
The remaining ones are two Zang-Refining Realm masters, seven members of the Wuding Gang, and a gray-haired ferret chasing the wind.
"The person coming is not very strong, I can handle it."
Lin Zheyu secretly thought, quietly disappearing, holding his breath, and reducing his energy and blood to the lowest level.
……
Xing Jinglong and his group followed Zhuifeng Gray Marten and rushed into the dense forest.
Zhizhi
The gray-haired ferret chasing the wind squeaked and rushed out impatiently.
"Follow up!"
"Uncle Zhao, Qiao Quan, you two, keep an eye on him. That guy is pretty good at qinggong. Don't let him get away."
Xing Jinglong said in a low voice.
With a wave of his hand, the people behind him quickly advanced in an encirclement formation.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xing, he's just a kid in the bone forging realm. No matter how good his Qinggong is, he can't escape from the hands of the two of me."
Said an old man with a long face, who looked about fifty years old.
His name is Zhao Wude, but he never talks about Wude.
Relying on his excellent Qing Gong, he never fights head-on with others and is good at Qing Kung, hidden weapons and poisoning.
“Mr.
Qiao Quan followed Xing Jinglong leisurely as if going shopping.
He didn't seem to be in a hurry, but his speed was always the same as Xing Jinglong's, and he followed him secretly to protect him.
"This kid is very slippery and I escaped several times by him."
"We brought two seniors with us this time to prevent him from escaping again." Xing Jinglong said.
Zhao Wude and Qiao Quan were both his father's subordinates and had been with their Xing family for many years.
The gray-haired marten chasing the wind is extremely fast and shuttles quickly through the mountains and forests.
If the middle-aged man hadn't called out from time to time to tell him to stop and wait, Xing Jinglong and the others would have lost track of them.
"Sir, be careful. This place is in a remote location. Lin Zheyu is a little weird coming here. There might be an ambush!" the veteran behind Xing Jinglong reminded.
As city guards, they often go out to fight against bandits, and their strength and experience are extremely impressive.
"Don't worry, there is only one trace of one person here."
"What kind of waves can a little guy in the bone forging realm create?"
Zhao Wude said, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the mountain environment.
He has been observing since he first entered the forest.
As someone who has traveled around the world for decades, he is extremely experienced, and he soon saw the traces of only one person walking on the road.
This place is inaccessible, and no matter how hard the other party tries to hide it, it will still leave traces.
"Young master, it's right in front."
The gray-haired ferret returned to the middle-aged man and pointed to the bushes ahead.
"Master, wait a moment, I'll go over and take a look first." Zhao Wude said.
He is good at using hidden weapons and poisoning, and he knows these things very well. He wants to go up there to explore the truth and see if there are any traps and ambush.
"Soldiers form formations and get ready." Qiao Quan ordered.
He clenched the dagger in his hand and looked around, secretly alert.
Although I don’t think that a Bone Forging Realm warrior can cause any trouble, as a veteran, I know very well that when a lion fights a rabbit, you must do your best.
Zhao Wude walked into the bushes with a cautious expression.
He is good at using poisons and knows many kinds of toxins that can poison even warriors in the Qi and Blood Realm. He did not look down upon the opponent just because he was a little guy in the Bone Forging Realm.
Carefully pushing aside the weeds, there was a piece of clothing on the ground that smelled of white zinc powder.
Except for the clothes, there is nothing different around.
He sniffed the smell, but there was no toxin or the smell of anesthetic powder.
The other party’s traces are cut off here.
There is no smell of blood, no traces of battle.
"Something's wrong!"
Zhao Wude suddenly became alert, and his extraordinary intuition after escaping from death several times reminded him that there was danger here.
He didn't think much, the muscles in his legs quickly swelled, and his figure collapsed.
But it's too late.
From behind the tree trunk next to him, a figure suddenly jumped out, the wind howled, and a whip hit him.
"Not good!"
Zhao Wude was shocked and threw the poisonous powder he had prepared towards the opponent.
But the speed of the arrival was so fast, it was astonishing.
Before the poisonous powder could be spilled, the opponent's whip hit him on the head.
A terrifying force struck, and Zhao Wude's head buzzed, his brain was turned into paste, his vision became blurred, and his nosebleed spurted out.
Boom!
Zhao Wude flew backwards and hit a tree with a cracking sound. Many bones in his body were broken.
"Old Zhao!"
"Damn it, form a formation!"
Qiao Quan shouted loudly.
Everything just happened so fast that he couldn't even react.
The moment the voice came out, ten elite soldiers who had been prepared quickly formed a miniature military formation.
The moment the military formation was formed, the ten elite soldiers were united in spirit and spirit, and a special energy surged out of their bodies and condensed into Qiao Quan.
This energy entered his body, replaced the function of qi and blood, and became his body's backup energy source.
Qiao Quan's aura rose rapidly, and he soon broke through the limit of Qi and Blood Realm, but he could barely break through the Qi and Blood Realm.
Lin Zheyu glanced at Qiao Quan, grinned, and rushed towards the dying Zhao Wude.
With a pop, the silver-white sword flashed, and Zhao Wude's head slipped from his neck.
Blood splattered out.
"Master, leave quickly, I'll stop him!"
"This guy is very strong, he may have reached the Qi and Blood realm!" Qiao Quan shouted loudly.
The man with his face covered in front of him was terrifyingly strong. Even with the support of the military formation, he was not sure of how to deal with him.
Zhizhi
At this moment, the gray ferret chasing the wind rushed out of the grass and entered the middle-aged man's arms.
The gray-haired ferret Zhuifeng squeaked and stretched out its paws to wave at Lin Zheyu.
"Sir, this person is Lin Zheyu!" the middle-aged man said.
"Lin Zheyu!"
"How is this possible? He is only in the bone forging realm. How could he kill Uncle Zhao?"
Xing Jinglong was shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief.
What happened just now happened so fast that Zhao Wude died before he could react.
He was killed by Lin Zheyu in one blow.
Zhao Wude is at the pinnacle of Zang refining, and he is only one step away from breaking through to the Qi and Blood realm.
"Can you find all this?"
"Is there any breath left on your body?"
Lin Zheyu was surprised. Since he had been discovered, he would not continue to hide his head and tail.
The twenty people chasing after them were not very strong and could be easily dealt with.
These guys who saw his face will all die today!
"Mr. Xing, what a coincidence, I can see you here."
Lin Zheyu took off the cloth covering his face and looked at Xing Jinglong with a half-smile.
The blade in the hand reflects a frightening cold light.
"It's really you!"
"How is it possible? You are only in the bone forging realm. Even if you are a genius, you have only been practicing for a long time. How can you have such strength!"
Xing Jinglong looked at the familiar face in front of him in disbelief.
"Master, let's go!"
"Hurry up and ride back. As long as you return to Songyi City, you will be safe!"
Qiao Quan was cautiously on guard against Lin Zheyu. When he saw Xing Jinglong standing there stunned, he shouted loudly.
But Xing Jinglong was unmoved and looked at Lin Zheyu blankly, a little stunned.
Qi and blood realm, this guy is in the qi and blood realm!
"The military formation is indeed magical!"
Lin Zheyu looked at Qiao Quan, feeling the energy and blood coming from the other person's body, and couldn't help but admire him.
Since just now, he has been paying attention to Qiao Quan and the ten soldiers behind him.
If he was willing, he could have solved it before Qiao Quan could react just now.
But Lin Zheyu didn't.
He wanted to see how powerful the military formation was.
Senior Brother Han Mo told him before that if he was given a team of a hundred elite soldiers, he could easily crush Qi and Blood Realm warriors, and he would dare to rush over and fight even those who were strong in the Marrow Training Realm.
But this is when there are hundreds of elite soldiers.
The military formation composed of only ten elite soldiers in front of us can only deal with warriors below the Qi and Blood Realm. It is not enough to face the real strong Qi and Blood Realm.
"That's it."
"Use the military formation to connect the soldiers' essence and spirit into one body. This essence and spirit combine with the murderous aura of the soldiers to condense and form special energy."
"This energy uses the military formation as a link and is injected into the body of the leader, replacing the role of Qi and blood, allowing the general to possess the strength of the Qi and blood realm in disguise."
"Amazing, amazing."
The more Lin Zheyu looked, the more surprised he became.
However, he still didn't see how the military formation connected the soldiers' spirit and murderous aura and condensed them into special energy.
