Chapter 294 Pursuit on a snowy night (Part 2)

Zhao Ya reached out and grasped the exposed arrow tail, and used a lot of strength to pull it out of the tree.

I saw that this crossbow arrow was only about twenty centimeters long in total. It was completely black and made of an unknown metal. It was heavy in my hand and felt very heavy.

Zhao Ya looked at it carefully for a while and found that the arrow was cross-shaped and extremely sharp. Even if it penetrated several big trees, it still suffered no damage.

This should also be the work of the Guan Sect.

Seeing this, Zhao Ya couldn't help but become more and more interested in this mechanism sect, because this crossbow arrow represented extremely superb metal smelting technology.

Coupled with this hand crossbow, which was almost black technology, Zhao Ya really wanted to know what else the people from the Guan Sect couldn't do.

After groping for a moment, Zhao Ya successfully tied the hand crossbow to his arm, and then gently pushed the crossbow arrow into the firing hole.

With a burst of gear rotation and the sound of the machine spring tightening, the crossbow arrows were loaded again.

Not only that, there is also a safety switch thoughtfully placed on the wrist to prevent accidental firing.

With this hand crossbow, it greatly made up for Zhao Ya's shortcomings in long-distance attacks.

Although there is only one crossbow arrow, as long as it is used properly, it will play a decisive role at the critical moment.

Zhao Ya couldn't put it down and played with it for a while before returning with satisfaction.

At the same time, Hei Yunzi was lying on the snow, still trying to regulate his energy and blood, trying to escape from here.

Although the process was difficult, some results were seen through persistent efforts.

The originally scattered energy and blood was regrouped, and some feeling finally returned to his left leg and right hand.

Heizizi was overjoyed. Although most of the bones and veins in his body were injured by the shock, and the slightest movement would cause severe pain, these pains were nothing compared to his own life.

Relying on strong perseverance, Hei Yunzi moved his body little by little.

He remembered that there was a gentle slope not far ahead. As long as he could climb there, he could roll down the mountain by inertia, which would greatly increase his chances of escaping.

Relying on this hope, Hei Yunzi gritted his teeth and moved, but at this moment, a wisp of cold wind blew, and then he heard a soft sigh from his side.

"Why are you doing this? You can't run away from me even if your legs and feet are intact, let alone what you look like now?"

Hearing this voice, Hei Yunzi felt that the blood all over his body solidified instantly.

What he feared most did indeed happen.

But when he turned around to look with difficulty, he saw a tall and tall young man.

Although his facial features are very similar to the man just now, this boy looks younger.

Hei Yunzi looked confused.

Zhao Ya knew that Hei Yunzi was wondering about the changes in him.

After all, he had only been away for more than a quarter of an hour, but a huge change had taken place in him, which would make anyone confused.

He didn't bother to explain, but walked up to Hei Yunzi.

"Actually, I didn't want to kill you. After all, if I bring you back alive, my master might give me more rewards, but now I can't keep you."

He obtained hand crossbows and a large amount of eighth-level dried meat from Hei Yunzi, all of which could not be seen in the light.

Although Canglong Temple also has an unspoken rule, that is, anything obtained when going out to perform tasks is considered an additional reward for the task executor. Canglong Temple generally does not interfere too much.

But this time it was different. The hand crossbow seized this time was a rare and powerful weapon, and Zhao Ya planned to use it as his secret weapon.

In this case, this black cloud will naturally not be able to stay.

Because if Hei Yunzi is brought back and he tells the story, wouldn't that be directly exposed?

After hearing Zhao Ya's words, Hei Yunzi's face was full of despair, but in the end he did not say a word for mercy.

He also knew that it was useless to say anything now.

Anyway, I have eaten, eaten and played in the past few years. If I really want to die, it will not be a loss.

But he still had something to say before he died.

"Can you tell me your name and make me understand?" Hei Yunzi asked in a deep voice.

Seeing Hei Yunzi acting so tough even when he was about to die, Zhao Ya smiled, stretched out his hand, pulled out the cold iron sword, and said two words suddenly.

"no!"

After saying that, the knife came out like the wind and cut through Hei Yunzi's neck in an instant.

Hei Yunzi was stunned, obviously not expecting that the young man in front of him would act so unreasonably.

Logically speaking, shouldn't you say a few nonsense words at this time to show your prestige?

Why did you just take out the knife right away?

But these questions were quickly overcome by the surging darkness.

A line of blood spread across the neck, and then the head was blown away by the spurting blood.

Zhao Ya stretched out his hand to catch the flying head, ducked away from the blood, and then looked at Hei Yunzi's head.

The shock and confusion before his death were still frozen on his face.

Zhao Ya said calmly: "You know what ghosts don't understand? If you die, you will die. There are so many idle things."

Although Zhao Ya has not seen any supernatural events since time travel, who can guarantee that there is really no magic in this world.

If this guy uses some sorcery after asking his name, wouldn't that be causing trouble for himself?

Even if there was only the slightest possibility, Zhao Ya was not willing to take that risk.

Everything on Hei Yunzi's body had been plundered by Zhao Ya, so Zhao Ya didn't care about the body on the ground. He just took off his coat and wrapped his head.

It's so cold today that there's no need to worry about the head rotting. As for the corpse, it should be eaten up soon by those hungry snow wolves and wild dogs.

After confirming that nothing was missing at the scene, Zhao Ya tied Hei Yunzi's head to his waist, then flew back.

Hei Yunzi is dead, but his group of people are still there.

These are all bandits who have followed Hei Yunzi for many years. They all have lives on their hands, so naturally no one can be spared.

Although he wasted some time chasing Hei Yunzi and later practicing, Zhao Ya was not worried that these people would run away.

Because the scent of the bait on them was so obvious in this cold mountain forest, it was like a torch in the dark. Zhao Ya could find them by following the scent without even trying.

After returning to the place where he met Geng Ying and others, Zhao Ya stood in the wind and smelled it carefully.

After a moment, Zhao Ya opened his eyes suddenly and chased in one direction.

The smell is strongest in this direction. It is obviously not left by one person, but several people must have escaped together in groups.

This makes it easier for Zhao Ya to take action.

Although these people have been running for a long time, this is not a problem at all for Zhao Ya who has an absolute advantage in physical skills.

With just a stick of incense, Zhao Ya caught up with this group of fleeing bandits, eleven or twelve of them.

What a coincidence, one of them is Geng Ying.

However, at this time, Geng Ying was in an extremely embarrassed state, and he did not retain the majesty he had before.

Regarding this group of people, Zhao Ya was too lazy to talk nonsense. He pulled out his knife and cut them one by one, harvesting the lives of these people like chopping melons and vegetables.

This group of bandits either yelled for mercy in horror, or drew swords with pale faces to fight back, and some even knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if pounding garlic to beg for their lives.

But Zhao Ya ignored him. After all, no one who could become a bandit would be a good person.

Soon, the bandits were lying in the snow in a huddle, and the blood stained the snow red.

The last person to die was Geng Ying. He originally wanted to hide among the dead and pretend to be dead in order to survive, but he didn't expect that Zhao Ya wouldn't give him this chance at all. He picked him up and cut off his head with a knife.

The same applies to other bandits.

Soon, more than a dozen heads were piled together.

Zhao Ya then followed the smell and rushed to several other places, and finally eliminated all the bandits and bandits under Hei Yunzi.

After doing this, Zhao Ya piled these people's heads into a pile and marked a location, planning to let the master handle it after returning to Canglong Temple.

It was almost dawn at this time. Although he had been working hard all night, Zhao Ya did not feel any tiredness, but was in high spirits.

He first changed his appearance in the woods, hiding his current state as much as possible, and then without stopping for a moment, taking advantage of the last darkness before dawn, he quickly ran towards Canglong Temple.

Although the speed was very fast, by the time we returned to Canglong Temple, the sky was already bright.

The young disciples started sweeping the floor in front of the mountain gate early.

I don’t know why they sweep the floor every day, but the front of the mountain gate is still so dirty.

When they saw Zhao Ya coming back from outside the mountain, these young disciples all looked surprised and moved out of the way.

Zhao Ya ignored him and walked straight past.

After he left, the young novices gathered together again and started talking in low voices.

"Senior Brother Zhao didn't return all night without reporting. Elder Xia of Chuanwu Hall was furious. He was talking about rectifying the temple rules, but he didn't expect to come back in such a grand manner?"

"Who knows, maybe there will be something good to watch now."

Although the voices of these young disciples' discussions were low, they still reached Zhao Ya's ears.

Um?

How did Xia Jiye know that he hadn't returned home all night?

He also got angry and said that he wanted to rectify the temple rules. What temple rules should he rectify?

Doesn't he also look at what his Chuanwu Hall has become?

However, Zhao Ya is not stupid. He understands that this is Xia Jiye's excuse. Just like the previous malicious isolation, he is deliberately targeting himself.

However, Zhao Ya had no fear and walked into the temple with his head held high.

as expected.

After entering, Zhao Ya obviously felt that many people were pointing fingers at him.

Especially those disciples of Chuanwu Hall, many of them were looking at themselves with gloating eyes.

Only Gui Xuanqing looked worried and winked at him desperately.

Zhao Ya knew that Gui Xuanqing was probably reporting to him, which obviously meant to keep him away.

Zhao Ya just smiled back, and then walked towards the courtyard where he lived.

From a distance, Zhao Ya saw a group of people gathering in front of his courtyard.

One of the people talking eloquently is who if it's not Xia Jiye?

He spat and said, "Did you see that Zhao Ya hasn't come back yet, and according to the guard in front of the door, he went out yesterday afternoon in the name of completing the sect's mission."

"He was alone outside for a whole night. Who can guarantee what will happen if he is unattended? What if he relies on his own strength to do something evil? Wouldn't that be a disservice to us Canglong? Is the temple’s reputation compromised?”

"So I think this boy seriously violated the temple rules and must be severely punished."

The people around him are basically his people, and they will naturally echo his words.

"That's right! He should be severely punished!"

"I agree!"

At the time when "everyone was excited", Zhao Ya came back.

Upon seeing him, Xia Jiye was stunned for a moment.

Because he didn't expect Zhao Ya to return in such a swaggering and majestic manner.

But he quickly reacted and raised his hand to point at Zhao Ya.

"Okay, you actually dare to come back and ask, did you stay out all night?"

Zhao Ya nodded naturally, "Yes, I did just come back."

Xia Jiye was overjoyed and his voice suddenly rose an octave higher.

"Listen, everyone, don't say that I wronged him. He admitted that he didn't come home all night. Tell me, what did you do outside? Did you take the opportunity to pick flowers and steal willows, and did something casual? "

This speculation was very vicious, and he obviously wanted to push Zhao Ya into the fire pit.

Of course Zhao Ya understood Xia Jiye's intention, but he didn't panic, he just spread his hands.

"I went to the Contribution Office yesterday to receive a division task, and then I went out to perform the task. Unexpectedly, I encountered some situations, so I couldn't come back in the evening. What? Isn't this okay?"

"Of course not. Who knows if you are going out to do mischief in the name of doing the sect's mission." Xia Jiye sneered, but his smile soon became stiff.

Because just after he said these words, Zhao Ya's eyes suddenly became extremely deep, as if he were looking into a bottomless pool.

Even Xia Jiye couldn't help but feel frightened when faced with such a look.

However, this scene passed fleetingly, and then Zhao Ya returned to normal, and then said calmly.

"Elder Xia, I admit that it was my fault that I didn't report that I didn't return home all night, but I just made random assumptions without any evidence. Isn't this a bit too much?"

At this time Xia Jiye also woke up, feeling shocked and angry.

What was surprising was the momentum Zhao Ya showed at that moment, even he was shocked by it.

What makes him angry is that he dares to accuse himself in person. This is simply a direct challenge to his authority.

If this cannot be handled properly, then I will not be able to become the elder of Chuanwu Hall.

Therefore, he sneered a few times and said, "You are just making random assumptions without any real evidence. According to you, if you didn't come back after a night out, it's my fault that I questioned you?"

"I didn't say that, but if you don't understand it that way, there's nothing I can do about it." Zhao Ya said lightly.

"Zhao Ya, don't be too arrogant. I am your elder who teaches you Kung Fu. What is your attitude?" Xia Jiye asked sharply.

Zhao Ya was not intimidated by his momentum at all, and instead smiled.

"Then what attitude do you want from me?"

"you……."

Xia Jiye was about to speak when the sound of footsteps was heard in the distance, and then he saw Qin Jianji hurried over with his disciple Tian Yixin.

"What's going on?" Qin Jianji asked immediately after arriving at the scene.

Xia Jiye sneered, "Let's ask this precious apprentice you recruited."
