Chapter 502 It’s different this time
Chapter 502 This Time is Different
"Yes." The two right-hand men bowed and accepted the order.
Poyuan took a step forward, grabbed the ground with one hand, condensed it, and swung it through the air. A hundred-foot-long earth dragon emerged from the ground. The roar shocked the witnesses around. The whistling energy swept in all directions, blowing away countless heart-wrapped grasses.
The flying earth dragon crashed into the distance, creating a cloud of dust.
A deep pit appeared on the ground in front of Poyuan.
With a wave of his hand, his two right-hand men flashed into the cave one after another.
Soon, a rumbling noise like an earthquake was heard in the cave.
Po Yuan turned around and pointed at the ground nearby. Immediately, the ground surged to make way for him, and he slipped in.
The noise from underground gradually faded away, and the people and horses on the surrounding Shenshan Mountain looked at each other in bewilderment...
The fact is just as Po Yuan said, if one's cultivation level is not high, the earth escape technique cannot enable one to run fast underground, not to mention that Wu Jinliang had suffered some minor injuries.
When he was fighting with the minion from Shenshan just now, he did not have the explosive power-removing function of Shichun's 'Bathing Demon Technique', nor did he have the power of the treasure clothes on his palms. Although the power of the 'Demon-Removing Hand' could decompose and offset some of the attack power, he still suffered a considerable amount of attack power.
After all, there is a gap in cultivation level between them.
As soon as he escaped underground, his blood boiled and he vomited blood. His arm was in great pain and he also suffered some internal injuries.
After using the earth escape technique to run underground for a while and expanding the space a little, the light of the sandalwood and gold flames now seemed eerie.
He suddenly slapped Huang Yingying in the face and cursed her, "Stop pretending to be dead. If you continue pretending, I'll kill you!"
Huang Yingying groaned and seemed to wake up. She showed her two bloody hands and pointed at the bloody area on her neck. "Master Gao, please have mercy on me. I'm injured, and it's not light."
Wu Jinliang didn't care about him at all. He pushed him down, sat on his back, and used one hand to shake the iron chain as if whipping him, and shouted, "Get out of here!"
Well, Huang Yingying had no choice but to work with her injuries and continue to use her earth escape technique to take him underground. The surging earth and rocks avoided them and flowed backwards, which was quite magical.
However, the good times did not last long. Just as Wu Jinliang was trying to estimate the distance, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound coming from underground.
The two immediately looked around and listened, and soon discovered that the noise came from behind them.
As the sound became clearer, both of them changed their expressions. It was the sound of earth and rocks rubbing against each other violently. Their earth escape technique would not produce such a huge noise. Someone was digging underground forcibly and approaching very quickly.
"Hurry up!" Wu Jinliang shouted anxiously.
Without him shouting, Huang Yingying started running away.
Wu Jinliang did not dare to rest. Even though he was already injured, he still cheered up and used the earth escape technique to help speed up his escape.
However, the buzzing sound coming from behind had gradually turned into a rumbling sound, indicating that the two's escape speed was far slower than that of the pursuers behind them.
Huang Yingying said in panic: "Master Gao, why don't we escape from the ground?"
He didn't understand many of the circumstances. He only knew that he had killed the city guards. He was also worried that Mei You was there to silence him. It was hard not to be afraid.
Wu Jinliang cursed as soon as he opened his mouth, "Bullshit, the ground is so big that you can bump into someone just by sticking your head out. There will definitely be a lot of people searching outside, and it will be even harder to escape once you get out."
He was relatively calm. Although he was nervous, he had experienced many dangerous situations and was not as panicked as Lao Huang.
Huang Yingying hurriedly said: "Then let's run separately!"
"Stop!" Wu Jinliang tightened the chain and shouted to stop.
Huang Yingying was stopped by him before she could react. Her eyes bulged out, as if she was used to it.
But she didn't know why she had to stop. Seeing that he seemed to be preparing to fight head-on, she immediately panicked again, "Master Gao, we can't use force. Anyone who can break through so deep underground must be a master at least at the level of Great Perfection of Human Immortal. We can't win!"
Wu Jinliang didn't bother to pay attention to this thing that had never seen the world. He continued to ride him with the iron chain in one hand and cast a spell to stir the earth with the other hand. Soon, he expanded a space of ten feet underground.
He took out the gourd from the Qiankun bag and put it on his back, then took out the three magic weapons, waved his hand and hit the soil behind him. Then he shook his shoulders and the gourd mouth on his back popped open. He faced the direction he was coming from, waiting for the rumbling sound to come from.
In his early years, he was the kind of person who would run away when faced with danger. Wasn't the purpose of making that big sword to reduce risks?
It’s different nowadays. People don’t want to lose face or battle.
But the 'mount' under him seemed a little cowardly, and was visibly trembling as the rumbling sound approached.
Not long after, the roar came closer, and it was obvious that some magical power came to investigate. Then a hole opened in the underground space, and two figures inside the hole remained vigilant and investigated the inside of the space.
Wu Jinliang shook the chain and Tan Jinming's hands and shouted, "I can't run anymore. I won't run anymore. We are willing to surrender."
Huh? Huang Yingying turned her head and looked at him from behind.
Seeing that there was really nothing special inside, the two people in the hole flashed out one after another, but they were still very vigilant.
Wu Jinliang took off the Qiankun bag from his waist and said, "I am willing to present the treasures inside to you two. I hope you can be flexible and give me a way out!"
As he spoke, he cast a spell and slowly pushed it forward to show that he had no hostility.
But the two were very vigilant and did not touch it directly. Instead, they cast a spell to fix the Qiankun bag in front of them.
At the same time, the two of them noticed something unusual. The magic power pushed from the Qiankun bag suddenly split into two and hit them respectively.
But it's not harmful, just like a gust of wind.
The visitor on the left ignored everything else and asked coldly, "Did you kill that man just now?"
Huang Yingying was trembling.
Wu Jinliang remained silent. When he saw the two powerful enemies' faces suddenly change, and then they stopped moving, leaving only the gurgling sound in their throats, he rubbed his nose and sneered, "So what if I killed them? I'll teach you a lesson. Do you really take yourself seriously?"
What? Huang Yingying was stunned and thought she had heard it wrong.
Wu Jinliang pulled him up from his kneeling position, thrust a knife into his hand, raised his chin and said, "Go, kill them."
With a clang, the knife fell to the ground in shock.
Huang Yingying burst into tears on the spot. He had seen these two men in Shenshan before and knew that they were someone's right-hand men and the few human cultivators in Shenshan. How could he dare to provoke them? "Xiao Gao, Master Gao, if we are going to die, let's die peacefully, okay? Please don't torment me anymore, okay? I can't stand it anymore, I, ah..."
Before he could finish his words, Wu Jinliang grabbed the iron chain and swung him over. Bang, Huang Yingying bumped into the other person and fell to the ground. He staggered back two steps and found that he was fine. The two men were still standing there like stone sculptures. He was stunned. He was not stupid and realized that something was wrong.
"I have already used the immobilization technique to immobilize them. Catch the knife!" Wu Jinliang kicked the knife on the ground and stabbed it straight towards Huang Yingying.
Huang Yingying caught it subconsciously.
Wu Jinliang said again: "It is not advisable to stay here for long. I don't have time to talk to you. I will give you five numbers. Either you kill them, or I kill you. One, two, three..."
Did Huang Yingying have a choice? Having seen how this grandson killed people without blinking an eye, she didn't dare to think that he was joking. She quickly gritted her teeth and swung her knife to kill the two pursuers.
The man was chopped into pieces, but because of the fixation, he still maintained his complete form.
"That's enough." Wu Jinliang shouted, and he dodged over and took the knife from Lao Huang's hand.
Huang Yingying, who had recovered from her shock, looked at the two bodies that were covered with "lines" and said with a miserable smile, "My hands are already stained with the blood of the city guards, why are you forcing me again?"
Wu Jinliang chuckled and said jokingly, "Old Huang, this time is different."
Judging from the current situation, the people we asked the other side to kill before were the traitors in Dazhicheng, and it would be easy for them to turn back. Now we ask the other side to kill the official ones.
As soon as he saw the two men's cultivation, he knew that they had extraordinary origins. With such a good opportunity, he had to let Old Huang get his hands dirty again.
Since Chuntian has already agreed to temporarily save Lao Huang's life, there is no need for Chuntian to explain some things in detail. He already knows what to do.
As for why it was different, he was too lazy to tell the other party. He waved his hand, the wall exploded, and the three magic weapons flew back. He then used the earth escape technique to bury this space.
At this time, he secretly cast a spell to take back the Qiankun bag that was also immobilized at the same time, and lifted the immobilization spell on the two corpses.
Afterwards, he forced the distraught Old Huang to continue working like a slave.
This time he was much calmer, believing that the death of the two bodies would be enough to scare off those who were planning to pursue him in the same way...
A hole appeared on the grassland ground with a loud bang, and Poyuan jumped out, attracting search teams to check it out.
When the two sides met and walked to the main road, Po Yuan looked around and realized that this was the place where Fan Wuzhe had been ordered to throw things.
In other words, this was the route the murderer took to escape after the previous meeting, and the route the two assistants were chasing was the murderer's escape route.
It was a wasted trip, so he didn't linger for too long. He flashed into the air and flew towards the entrance he had just come from.
There were also many people in the sky, riding wind scales to weave back and forth and patrol the earth...
In the prison on the mountain, the city lord Li Xianghong went to the dark prison in person and stood in front of a huge sika deer corpse with a gloomy face. It was the corpse of Mei You who had revealed his true form, with blood flowing from all seven orifices.
The waitress in charge of the interrogation narrated how Mei You suddenly died of poison.
Bai Qiru, who was participating in the interrogation, also looked unhappy. Mei You didn't know anything when asked, and then the poison suddenly took effect...
Standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, Lou Xiu seemed to be free, but in fact he was still being watched.
He was very frank and confessed a lot of things, including how he had gathered all the people. But he still used the same method and put all the blame on Mei You.
Even if Huang Yingying was found now, he had nothing to worry about. He had never appeared in the matter of Chaoyue Pavilion, nor had he said anything to other people. The only one who accepted his instructions was Mei You, and Huang Yingying could only testify against Mei You...
From a mountain where one could see the sunset, a stream of light fell. Wu Jinliang and Huang Yingying both landed on the top of the mountain and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Huang Yingying was still in a very miserable state.
The two have already left the main city.
In the glow of the sunset, Wu Jinliang took out the mother-child talisman and reported to Shichun that he was safe, and also informed him of some unexpected situations in detail.
Inside the library, Shi Chun, feeling relieved, summoned Wu Jinliang and asked him to identify the 'Quesixiang' from Axun's belongings as soon as possible.
After that, he could work with peace of mind. When he sorted out the messy books and sent them upstairs, he saw the second lady Dong Liangyu, a generous smile appeared on his face, and he even smiled and nodded actively.
It's time to leave. I won't stay long. After confirming the target, I will say goodbye. From now on, I will part ways with the people here and never see them again. They will be forgotten in the long years.
Or because of women's meticulousness, the second lady Dong Liangyu was secretly confused.
Not to mention her, the third lady Dong Liangying at the lobby counter also noticed something unusual.
At dusk, a huge deep pit appeared on the grassland. There were many people outside the pit and there were also people inside the pit.
The city lord Li Xianghong descended from the sky and asked the people near the pit. She learned that Lord Poyuan was in the pit, so she also flew in.
At the bottom of the pit, Lord Poyuan was facing the wall under the light of the golden flame, because there were two corpses embedded in the soil wall.
He had not received any news from his two subordinates for a long time and realized something was wrong, so he followed the route the two subordinates took and investigated, and discovered this scene.
After finding out the circumstances of the death, he didn't dare pursue the matter anymore because the death was too strange.
It was not easy to take the body out because it would break into pieces if taken out.
Li Xianghong knew his two right-hand men and was shocked when she saw this. After casting a spell to investigate the circumstances of the death, she was even more shocked. "How could this happen?"
Po Yuan said calmly, "There was no sound of fighting. The sound of fighting in the Earthly Immortal Realm, it is impossible for people on the ground not to hear it. There is only one possibility, either the opponent's cultivation is so high that he can be easily crushed, or some magic weapon is the cause. Judging from the way the two died, it seems that they were killed instantly, so the broken bodies can remain so intact."
Li Xianghong hesitated, "What kind of magic weapon can injure someone like this? It looks more like a knife cut."
Po Yuan: "The murderer knows the art of escaping underground. Who in Dazhi City knows the art of escaping underground? You wouldn't have mastered it, right?"
Li Xianghong looked hesitant.
Po Yuan suddenly stared at her, "Do you have a target?"
Li Xianghong shook her head slightly. "In Dazhi City, the only person who is known to be able to escape underground is the missing Huang Yingying. However, his cultivation level has not yet reached the high level of martial arts. How could he possibly be able to kill your left and right arms?"
"Based on their cultivation levels, and comparing this distance they sneaked underground, we can conclude that the murderer's escape speed using the Earth Escape Technique was not very fast, which is almost consistent with Huang Yingying's cultivation level you mentioned. If it is really him, then it means that those rats have not given up and are determined to find him!"
"He is Grandma Qi's grandson-in-law."
"If he really did it, even Grandma Qi can't protect him."
