"An afterimage!" "Not good!"
Behind him, the wind whistled, and the man once again threw out a punch, but this time, because Wu Xiuying's reaction was too slow, the distance between them was too close, and he was no longer able to respond.
"He's dead for sure!" Wu Xiuying closed her eyes. At this moment, she was very calm, and all her thoughts were paused.
At this critical moment, Zhan Wushuang suddenly appeared. He drew the sword at his waist, and with a long streak of light, he attacked that man.
However, when that man saw Zhan Wushuang, he took a step forward and slipped into a song of nostalgia before quickly disappearing.
"You scared me to death. Where did you go just now?" After surviving the calamity, Wu Xiuying panted heavily, and it could be seen that she had been rather nervous just now. It was also true that in the face of death, no one would be able to remain calm and composed.
"Are you alright?" When Zhan Wushuang saw that the man had disappeared, she turned around to support Wu Xiuying, asking with concern.
"It's nothing, luckily you came back in time, otherwise something might have happened!" Wu Xiuying glanced at Zhan Wushuang unhappily.
When he heard Wu Xiuying's words, Zhan Wushuang also looked a little embarrassed. She had been too focused on her own matters and hadn't thought about Wu Xiuying at all, so she felt a little embarrassed. She had clearly said that she wanted to protect her.
"Who is this person?" Zhan Wushuang saw that Wu Xiuying did not have any intention to blame her, and immediately relaxed as she asked Wu Xiuying.
"I don't know," Wu Xiuying shook her head, the appearance and disappearance of this man was indeed unusual. She then turned to Zhan Wushuang and asked, "Where is that person you were chasing just now? Have you caught him yet?"
"That guy ran away. I can't catch up to him in a short time!" Zhan Wushuang also shook his head.
"Don't tell me these guys are from the Wu Sect?" When Wu Xiuying saw this long homecoming song, she couldn't help but sigh. There was almost no information on this in her mind, which meant that the Martial House didn't have an introduction on the Wu Sect. This meant that the Wu Sect had a secret that they didn't know about.
After calming himself down, Zhan Wushuang brought Wu Xiuying and continued walking forward. At the end of the homesick, there was a rather large palace.
This palace was different from all the other buildings that he had seen before, because it was intact and also had an extraordinary amount of neatness and cleanliness. It was like a paradise in the depths of the abyss.
"There seems to be the smell of human smoke here," Wu Xiuying frowned as she spoke to Zhan Wushuang. It seemed that the big sized man and the black figure from before were residing here.
"En!" Zhan Wushuang nodded, his entire mind focused on preparing for any movements around him. Based on the speed of the two people, if they wanted to ambush Wu Xiuying and him, they would most likely be at a disadvantage.
As they slowly walked forward, suddenly, a burst of intense fighting sounds came out from a stone house on the left. Zhan Wushuang and Wu Xiuying looked at each other and nodded, then the two of them quietly walked over to investigate.
In the empty stone room, there were actually five people fighting. The big person currently was also fighting, and the person accompanying him was a slightly petite girl. If there were no surprises, it should be the black-clothed person that appeared on the homesickness song.
But Wu Xiuying was very familiar with the other three women; they were the fourth of the Shadow Guards, Ying Jiu, and the tenth of the five.
"Why did the three of them enter the depths of the Blood Lake as well? Could she also be sent by His Majesty to search for the Blood Bodhi? " Wu Xiuying was puzzled, didn't they specialize in intelligence? Why would they come here, could it be that Second Brother and the rest are doing something?
"Sister Four!" Why are you guys here? " Wu Xiuying and Zhan Wushuang hurriedly joined the battle, separating the five people's battle area and asked Ying Four.
"Twelfth, why are you here?" Ying Si was also startled when he saw Wu Xiuying, but immediately a smile appeared on her face. Adding two people here, there was a better chance of taking down these two Chi You survivors.
"Ying Si, so it turns out to be the Qin family's young miss Qin Lanlan, this is getting interesting." Zhan Wushuang thought.
The Zhan Clan and the Qin Clan were both part of the four great military clans, but the relationship between the two families had not been good since ancient times. Only the two direct descendants knew the truth, and the Zhan Clan was the descendant of Chi You of the War God, and the Qin Clan was the descendant of the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan from ancient times.
Fortunately, the two families only had branches, so their enmity wasn't that deep. Furthermore, as time passed, the relationship between the two families slowly faded and the two families' Patriarchs could be treated as if they didn't see each other. However, if they wanted to be good friends, then so be it.
Although she was the daughter of a direct descendant of the Qin family, she was not a candidate to be the Patriarch of the Qin family. On top of her was a young master of the Qin family, thus, she did not know the relationship between Chi You and Zhan Clan.
After Wu Xiuying heard these words, she was stunned at first, but then she shook her head and retreated to the side. This Chi You descendants included her man that fought unparalleled battles, Fourth Elder wanted to kill her husband's relatives, and even wanted her to help.
"You're from the Chi Clan?" Zhan Wushuang nodded gratefully towards Wu Xiuying, then turned and asked the two nervous Chi You descendants. He then used an ancient bow and clenched both of his fists, then he extended his index and middle fingers, crossing four fingers on his left and right hands between his eyebrows.
Hearing this, the woman hid behind the big man. Then, the man said in a strange Central Plains language, "Chi family's Wenzhi, are you Zhan family's son?"
The man's tone wasn't very good, and his Central Plains speech wasn't standard either. However, it could be seen that they still knew some of the Central Plains' words. Perhaps they also had connections with the Central Plains that even he didn't know about.
"I will fight Wu-Shuang." Zhan Wushuang nodded his head. Then, he placed the two hands between his brows in front of his chest, indicating that both sides should let their guard down, and then waved his hands towards Qin Lanlan and the rest, signalling them not to be hostile for now.
That man looked at Zhan Wushuang, and then patted the shoulders of the little girl behind him, speaking in a loud voice. Other than Wu Xiuying, no one in the Central Plains could understand the ancient witch language.
The general meaning of this was to tell the girl to relax and not to kill him. The man surnamed Zhan was one of his own clansmen in the Central Plains.
After that, both sides were stopped by Zhan Wushuang alone. They reluctantly arrived at another stone house and sat down to communicate.
