The cold wind was like a knife as it blew snow over a thousand li away. The wind was not yet settled as a carriage came from the north. The rolling wheels crushed the snow on the ground, but it did not shatter the loneliness of the world.

The man driving the carriage was around thirty years old. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his slightly purple face was covered with a curly beard. He gave off a very heroic vibe.

The man in charge of the carriage let out a long sigh and pulled the horse into his arms, holding her in his arms. He stretched out his palms to meet her, allowing her to continue her cultivation. Not long after, the woman's face eased a little, and the man took out a small bottle from his bosom and took out three red pills from the bottle. He placed it in the woman's mouth, and the woman let out a long breath, as if she had come back to life.

Shao Xueshen replied, "That's right. No matter what, his head is worth at least ten thousand taels of silver!" As she said this, she brushed Mu Heng's body.

Wu Yin smiled and said, "The two of us have no enmity with you. We only borrowed your heads because they are too valuable."

Mu Heng was stunned for a moment before he asked, "Are you the Eighth Hand Heaven Chaser?"

Wu Yin smiled and said, "Yes, I am."

Mu Heng let out a long sigh and said, "I didn't expect that I, Mu Heng, would end up being killed by a bounty hunter and that I, Mu Heng, would become the prey."

The origin of the bounty hunters was not traceable, it had existed for a long time, but it was still used by the imperial government in recent decades or so. Because the Ming Dynasty's ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang had started his life as a martial artist, he had joined different martial arts organizations and launched many rebellions, causing the collapse of the Dayuan regime.

Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he had to vigorously suppress all the factions in the martial arts world. However, there would always be a few strong martial arts experts who could not be controlled by any gangs, leaving Zhu Yuanzhang helpless. The personality of these people were usually both righteous and evil.

However, because they were experts in martial arts and ordinary soldiers, they could not control them. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang began to issue bounty warrants to those who wanted to arrest them. He wanted to set a clear price for those who were in the martial arts world, and as long as someone could kill them, he could use their heads to exchange for a corresponding amount of money. Gu Ye Wuhen was the most famous bounty hunter in the martial arts world.

Wu Yin said, "Brother Mu, it's better if you don't mind."

Mu Heng sneered, and without replying, he heard Shao Xueran shout in alarm, "Senior Brother, be careful behind you!"

Without even thinking about it, Wu Yin used both of his palms to raise his palm. Facing the incoming person's one palm, the three palms made a "bang" sound, and that person leaped to Mu Heng's side. He pointed his fingers at Mu Heng's body, lifting her up.

When he looked up, he saw a hunchbacked old man with white hair dressed in a dark green robe. Wu Yin said, "Tiannan …" Wu Yin originally wanted to say, "Tiannan Sword Art truly lives up to its reputation!" However, before he could finish his sentence, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Shao Xueshen shouted, "Blood Sacrificing Hand! You're Huo Yan!" Before he could finish his sentence, he swung his two female swords horizontally in front of Wu Yin.

The old man said, "Is this all that the Eight Hand Heaven Staff can do? "You want to be bounty hunters? It's your luck that you didn't die on the way."

Wu Yin stood up and said with a sneer, "Old Senior Huo's head is worth a hundred thousand taels of snowflake pattern silver. How could I be willing to die before I obtain such a treasure?"

Huo Yan laughed out loud and said, "Good luck with being a youngster. This old man's head can be taken here, but so be it!"

Wu Yin said, "Then this junior won't be polite." Before Shao Xueshen could finish his sentence, he used the staff in his hand and sent a shovelful towards Shao Xueshen. Shao Xueshen hurriedly used both his male and female swords to block and the shovelful sword only felt an extremely gentle force pushing against him as his body flew away with a "sou" and he could only hear Wu Yin shout, "Go!"

A long sword appeared in his right hand, and with a "shua" sound, the long sword flew straight towards Shao Xueshen. With a "hu" sound, Wu Yin's crescent shovel flew straight towards Huo Yan's waist, and Huo Yan knew that if he followed up, he would definitely be cut in half by Wu Yin. If he didn't pursue Shao Xueran, he wouldn't be able to catch up.

However, under the critical situation, Huo Yan sidestepped, dodging the shovel, and then stabbed his sword towards Wu Yin's abdomen. The Wu Yin Staff circled once, sweeping away the sword's momentum, and jumped away to block Huo Yan's path to ensure Shao Xueran's safe escape.

Huo Yan sneered and said, "Since you want to die alone, I will grant your wish." The long sword had one move each, while the left move was displayed from top to bottom with the move "Heavenly Crown Sun" and the right move "Crossing Skills". These two moves were one of the fourteen ace attacks of Huo Yan, and once he used them, it meant that Huo Yan didn't want to keep him alive.

Wu Yin shouted, "Senior, I hope you can fulfill my wish!" He waved his staff, and a series of blade sounds came out from his palms, the sound of his palm and sword created by the Fiery Blaze Sword Art was extremely fast, adding on the fact that there were 17 or 18 changes to his technique after one strike, after a while, the technique gradually became chaotic, and the Fiery Blaze Flame flew forward, and with a 'Piercing Sun through the Heavens', it pierced towards the martial sound, causing Wu Yin to be unable to think, "My life is over!"

Just at this moment, a silver needle flew over from the sky. Huo Yan quickly took back his hand, and more than ten types of concealed weapons shot over from all directions. With a loud shout, the Zhen Qi in Huo Yan's body shook all of the hidden weapons back.

Three waves of silver needles were shot out from the source "sou sou sou". Who knew that when the silver needles came into contact with Huo Yan's palm, they were all broken by the fierce wind from the palm. Shao Xueran let out a sharp "Ah!"; even if she wanted to dodge, she couldn't at this moment.

At this time, a shadow flashed, Wu Yin had already blocked in front of Shao Xue Hen. Huo Yan's palm was unstoppable, and with a "Pu" sound, Shao Xue Hen vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. Immediately, blood spilled everywhere, because at the last moment, Shao Xue Hen had held onto Wu Yin and switched positions with him.

Wu Yin hugged the dying Shao Xue Hen and cried loudly.

At this moment, he only heard Huo Yan sneer, "You're going to die from impatience!" He brandished the sword in his hand and said, "Don't cry, I'll let you accompany her right now!" The sword stabbed straight for Wu Yin's throat.

When the long sword came, Wu Yin did not dodge. Instead, he continued to laugh wildly, his laughter was sharp and miserable, causing Huo Yan to be stunned as he asked, "A dying person, what are you laughing at?"

Wu Yin laughed maniacally. "Haha … Haha … I don't only want to accompany her, I also want you to accompany me … Haha … Haha."

Huo Yan was startled, he straightened his sword and stabbed it out, but Wu Yin didn't dodge. The sword stabbed into Wu Yin's chest, and Wu Yin seized the opportunity to grab onto Huo Yan's wrist, laughing madly, "Let's die together! Haha! Haha! "Haha!" The palm struck towards the top of Huo Yan's head. Huo Yan hastily dodged, but his right hand was grabbed firmly by Wu Yin. He did not manage to pull back. Although he dodged to the side, he was hit on his shoulder.

Huo Yan furiously struck out three times at Wu Yin's abdomen with his left palm. Wu Yin could no longer withstand his palm and fell to the ground.

He was no longer able to pull his sword out of Wu Yin's body. Mu Heng quickly ran over and wanted to pull out his sword to kill him, but Huo Yan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, they won't live long. I still need to find a place to heal and help me leave."

Mu Heng nodded in agreement.
