Chapter 258 Poisoning
Haishi.
The bright moon is still high.
However, the cold moonlight is no longer the dazzling place, and a mountain top where the two counties of Guangxi and Meng meet has become the brightest place.
The mountain fire above was burning fiercely.
From time to time, there was the sound of explosions that shook the earth and the mountains, and the wails of people turning their backs on their backs.
Everyone was in extremely embarrassed condition and scattered in all directions.
After a long time, at the southern foot of the mountain, Jin Changgong looked at everything with a livid face. There was a blazing mountain fire a few miles away, and there was a panic of people and horses in front of him.
Among these people, some were injured and some were dead; some were sweating profusely, with faces full of fear for the rest of their lives; some were dumbfounded, with numb faces.
When they jumped to the foot of the mountain, the mountain fire was very fierce. Those who were not good at light skills or walked in the wrong direction caused a lot of casualties.
At this moment, Jin Changgong saw that the six people under his disciples looked depressed, and the three injured among them looked scared.
Looking further away, Wang Yang stood there blankly, looking up at the mountain fire in the distance in trance.
And Chu Tang and the four men in black have long disappeared!
The troops were in chaos and their direction could not be found.
Jin Changgong's heart felt like it was blocked by a big stone, and he couldn't express his pain.
He also knew why Wang Yang was unwilling to come over to greet him - after running away from Chu Tang, Marquis Nanqing obviously had a lot of resentment towards the Luoshen Valley people!
In fact, Jin Changgong also regretted it in his heart, and also blamed himself for what he did tonight!
He is too confident!
He was so confident that he thought he could easily control Chu Tang, so he missed many opportunities.
However, Jin Changgong had nothing to say about Chu Tang's escape.
According to common sense, he is a master of the eighth realm, but isn't it a matter of hand to deal with a small catcher who is nominally a fifth realm?
The facts were as he expected. Although Chu Tang showed many amazing martial arts skills, even if he broke out his secret skills, he was still no match for him.
If the remnants of the Samsung Sword Sect hadn't come out halfway, Chu Tang would have been captured by him long ago.
Even if there hadn't been this mountain fire, even if the four members of the Three-Star Sword Sect came together, Jin Changgong would have been confident of taking them down.
It's a pity that there were too many accidents that led to such a change.
so--
"It's all these rat-like remnants!" Jin Changgong cursed in his heart, but the embarrassment in his heart could not be resolved.
He knew that this time he, the dignified elder of Luoshengu, had suffered a big setback!
This time, the pursuit of Chu Tang was led by Marquis Nanqing, assisted by masters from Luoshen Valley, and joined by people from various prefectures and counties. It was vast and powerful.
From Qingcheng to the east, across four or five counties, there were thousands of people participating. In the end, not only was Chu Tang not injured at all, but the number of people lost was an astonishing number!
Not to mention anything else, Marquis Nanqing lost over a hundred of his own soldiers. These men could even fight a small battle in the army.
Not to mention those people from various county yamen and martial arts people who participated in the follow-up, they also suffered great losses. Some died at the hands of Chu Tang along the way, and some died tonight at the hands of the remnants of the Samsung Sword Sect. in hand.
Such a large number of casualties is simply shocking.
And what about Chu Tang’s side?
After all, including the four men in black, everyone is still alive and well!
The contrast is too stark to accept.
If word spreads, others will indeed laugh at the incompetence of Marquis Nanqing, a dignified prince who cannot even avenge the murder of his son.
However, their fall in the Valley of Gods was even worse.
Who calls them Luoshen Valley the most famous!
After receiving a great honor, you must bear corresponding responsibilities.
In the eyes of people in the martial arts world, although Nan Qinghou's status is honorable, it is not very conspicuous. They will only remember that an eighth-level master in Luoshen Valley and six sixth-level experts were unable to defeat a small catcher!
So incompetent, what else is there to say? !
Jin Changgong could already imagine how the world would judge them: incompetent, shameful, disgraceful...
In short, there is definitely nothing good to say!
However, after this battle, Chu Tang's reputation in the Liangzhou martial arts world will definitely rise sharply, reaching a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.
Others don't care about how he escaped, let alone whether there was help. They only know that Chu Tang saved his life under the pursuit of the elders of the Eighth Realm of Luoshen Valley!
Falling God Valley, Eight Realms...
No matter which word is used, it is enough to attract the attention of the world, and Chu Tang will naturally be elevated to an unparalleled status accordingly.
"Making wedding clothes for others..." Jin Changgong had a look of loneliness in his eyes.
"Elder, do we still want to pursue him?" A disciple interrupted Jin Changgong's contemplation.
"Chasing?" Jin Changgong laughed at himself, "What should we chase? That mountain top is the best place for us to capture Chutang. If we miss this opportunity, there is the Guimeng Mountains to the east. The terrain is dangerous and there are tall trees and forests, making it extremely difficult to track. . Chu Tang and others fled into those places, and their traces can no longer be found."
The disciple said unwillingly: "He has exploded with secret skills, and he may not be able to go far."
Jin Changgong smiled bitterly and said: "With his Qinggong, he can run dozens of miles away. What's more, there are remnants of the Three-Star Sword Sect protecting him. As long as he hides... we failed in this operation. Let's admit it honestly!"
All the experts in Luoshen Valley looked at each other in silence.
Jin Changgong raised his head and looked to the northeast again, and sighed: "In less than a hundred miles, we will enter the border of Jingzhou. Do you think they will miss this opportunity and stay in Liangzhou waiting for us to come?"
Everyone fell silent.
Jingzhou, that’s a different place.
There, it belongs to other spheres of influence: the imperial court has its own institutional experts, and there is also a holy place in the martial arts world that is as famous as Luoshen Valley!
If you act in other people's territory with such a big fanfare, you will definitely conflict with other forces.
Even Wang Yang, the Marquis of Nanqing, did not dare to go wild in Jingzhou territory, otherwise it would be tantamount to treason, and the court would not let him go in the first place.
"Alas!" Jin Changgong sighed again, "Do your best and obey fate."
After sighing, he took the initiative to walk towards Wang Yang who was standing in front of him. When he reached the latter's side, he sighed and said: "Nan Qinghou, I think it's better to send the people from various counties back first. If more people die, I'm afraid. It’s hard to explain to my fellow martial artists.”
Wang Yang's face was strangely peaceful. He glanced at Jin Changgong and said, "Elder Jin, take them back."
Jin Changgong was startled and asked: "Are you still chasing me? You should know that beyond that is Jingzhou!"
Wang Yang said in a deep voice: "The hatred for killing your son is irreconcilable! Elder Jin, I can let you disperse, but I have to continue to pursue you."
Jin Changgong smiled bitterly: "Why bother?"
Wang Yang stopped talking.
Jin Changgong thought for a while and said: "Let the others disperse first. The seven of us from Luoshen Valley can continue to pursue you. However, as I said before, we from Luoshen Valley only operate within Liangzhou. We cannot move outside Liangzhou." I’ll accompany you.”
Wang Yang hummed, cupped his hands and said, "Wang thanked Elder Jin."
Jin Changgong sighed, called for his disciples, and ordered them to go and send away those who were not Nanqing Hou's personal soldiers.
The scene was once again chaotic and noisy.
Twenty miles east of them, Chu Tang and the man in black were also running for their lives through the mountains and forests.
At this time, there were four more men in black, making a total of eight people.
They were all the accomplices who supported the tall black man at the foot of the mountain. They were the ones who threw thunderbolts and fire and exploded the mountain, and they were the ones who set the mountain on fire.
When they rushed down the mountain, they met in one place.
After coming down the mountain, Chu Tang was afraid of getting into Jin Changgong's camp, so he had no choice but to run in the same direction as the man in black.
Of course, after being far away from Jin Changgong, Chu Tang used Qinggong to move forward as much as he could.
In fact, he wanted to get rid of the man in black, find a hidden place to hide, heal his wounds secretly, and wait for the damage caused by Tiangang's disintegration method to be gone before making any plans.
However, these men in black seemed to see through his intentions, and eight people vaguely surrounded him.
No matter how good Chu Tang was in Qinggong, he still couldn't fall out with the opponent at this moment.
He can hardly hold it anymore!
Tiangang's disintegration of Dafa was approaching the limit of one hour. It was not the best choice to fight against others, so he had no choice but to act in concert with the eight men in black.
After another moment and more than ten miles forward, Chu Tang felt that the power in his body began to drain away rapidly, and his speed also plummeted.
He immediately slowed down.
"Why don't you leave?" The tall man in black who was following Chu Tang noticed something strange about him and stopped.
Chu Tang looked at the men in black who were still covering their faces with complicated eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Chu used a secret skill and can't hold on anymore."
When he said this, he stared closely into the other person's eyes, trying to see something in them.
Anxiety flashed in the eyes of the tall man in black, and he asked: "How long will it take to recover?"
Chu Tang said: "You can restore two to three success points in one night."
The tall man in black thought for a moment, pointed forward and said, "Then go to the top of the mountain ahead and find a cave and settle down for the night."
Even if Chu Tang no longer wanted to hand over his fate to others, he could only do as he said and nodded.
Several people immediately ran up the mountain and found a rather wide cave on the mountainside.
The tall man in black was very cautious and made some arrangements: Chu Tang adjusted his breath, and the three people who were fighting with him on the mountain also went into the cave to rest.
Then, he sent the four people he led to go down the mountain to look out for the wind and beware of Nan Qinghou's pursuit.
After the arrangements were made, the tall man in black finally walked into the cave. When he saw Chu Tang standing with a sword, he couldn't help but asked strangely: "Aren't you still meditating and adjusting your breath?"
Chu Tang supported his body, looked at the man in black with strange eyes, and asked: "Who are you, and why do you want to help Chu?"
The tall man in black smiled and said, "Why, are you afraid that we will attack you while you are meditating?"
Chu Tang shrugged and said, "When I'm away from home, I only dare to give my sincerity to others."
The tall man in black said: "Don't you think it's too late to say this now? You have used your secret skills. Apart from recovering your skills as quickly as possible in front of us, what else can you do? With your lightness skills, you can leave us and hurry up Run? If you want to do this, you have missed the opportunity and should have parted ways with us just now when you came down the mountain."
Seeing Chu Tang's confused look, the tall man in black added, "You have no choice but to trust us now. You are a smart person and you should know that if we are going to harm you, why take the risk to help you?"
"So!" Chu Tang said expressionlessly, "You are all smart people. Why did you take such a big risk to save Chu for no reason? Neither Nan Qinghou nor Jin Changgong are easy to mess with! Falling God Valley is not something that can be easily offended!"
"We have a grudge against Luoshen Valley!" the tall man in black said in a low voice.
Chu Tang shook his head and said: "This is not a reason. Chu walked eastward aimlessly, with unclear direction and unclear route. But you were able to pick the right time and showed up when Chu was trapped in the mountain. It can be seen that you I followed you all the way, and maybe your spies will be among the people who joined in the hunt for Chu later!"
The tall man in black took a deep look at Chu Tang and said, "You are quite smart!"
Although Chu Tang gradually became weak, he still straightened his chest and said: "So, if you are honest and don't tell secrets, you might as well make it clear what your purpose is. Even if it costs Chu's life, please let Chu die clearly."
The tall man in black said impatiently: "If we want your life, we just have to stand by and let Jin Changgong kill you. Why bother!"
"Is that... a request from Chu?" Chu Tang asked back.
The tall man in black sneered and said, "You think too highly of yourself!"
"That you……"
"Chu Tang! I hear your breath is getting weaker and weaker. If you don't adjust your breath, I'm afraid you will be injured even more seriously!" The tall man in black interrupted Chu Tang, "You just need to know that we don't want your lives. "
Chu Tang was speechless, just don't die? What if you want him?
The unknown prospects are the most worrying
But he also knew that it would be useless to talk more. Now that the matter was at this point, he could only believe the other party.
After he fumbled and sat down cross-legged, Chu Tang raised his head and glanced at the tall man in black, and finally said: "Chu still said the same thing, even if he is going to die, he hopes to be an understanding person."
The tall man in black sneered: "You don't have to provoke us, this kind of thinking and means are too ridiculous! We are too embarrassed to expose you!"
Chu Tang's face was hot, but he nodded calmly. His life was at stake, so no shame was important.
Immediately, he stopped talking, and when his body was at its weakest and all his skills were gone, he began to adjust his true energy and regulate his body's breathing.
Of course, Chu Tang, who has always been cautious, used his last scheming and last resort——
Originally, in terms of regulating physical injuries, the best internal skills and mental methods should be Shen Zhao Jing or Jiu Yin Zhen Jing to heal injuries and broken bones. However, Chu Tang put aside these two magical skills at this time and used Beiming Divine Skill!
Beiming's magical skill can be generated by itself once the true energy is transferred. As long as anyone touches him, the internal energy will flow into him involuntarily.
Automatically absorbing people's internal energy is also a characteristic of the Beiming Divine Art after its operation.
Performing martial arts in front of outsiders is his last resort to protect himself!
However, what Chu Tang didn't expect was that the tall man in black didn't attack him. But when the other party lit a torch in the cave and the fragrance hit his nostrils, his head gradually became dizzy and his eyelids trembled. He finally realized that he Still caught!
"poison……"
Chu Tang struggled to stand up, but was unable to do so. His vision went dark and his consciousness fell into darkness.
