The Fragrant Shadow of A Sword

Chapter 3

Le Shaolin thought,"Where is Qiu Yi? How can you explain it to Xuanjing Nun when you go back?"

All of a sudden,a figure quickly passed by him,and Le Plenary chased after him. After a few miles,they ran away.

The person in front said,"Sir,why are you always following me?"

Le Young Master said coolly,"You're too cruel. You've caused so much bloodshed in Mo Manor that you don't even spare a child."

After he finished speaking,Le took the opportunity to attack him with a palm and a sword. Seeing that Le didn't want to fight him,the man swung his spear and blocked Le's attack. Although he could not withstand a single blow from Le's companion,he was still attacked by Le's fury.

The man smiled coldly and said,"You're powerful,but you're no match for me." As soon as the man finished speaking,he thrust his long spear,not allowing any strength from Le's neighbors to counterattack.

Seeing that he was about to be hit,Le Young Master started to exert the supreme martial art and moved aside. Seeing that the opponent had an empty door on his chest,Hao Ran raised his left hand,and stabbed toward the opponent with the sword skill in his right hand.

In the blink of an eye,the two men had exchanged less than 10,moves,and the man had already pointed the gun at Le's throat. With just a slight move,Le's neighbor was killed by the spear.

The woman said,"Although your sword art has reached a realm,the power of your sword art has been greatly reduced because of your insufficient inner force. Otherwise,how can I win you?"

Le thought that the man was right. He couldn't reach a new realm no matter how hard he practiced his internal strength. If the man hadn't instantly reduced his strength when he attacked,he would have been finished.

Le Shaolin looked at the man and said,"Although I lost,there were dozens of lives in Mo Village. How could you escape?"

The man said coldly,"Don't you see that? If I were a murderer,how could I not kill you?"

Le Shaolin thundered,"Who else could it be? Did you take Qiu Yi away?!" The man laughed and said,"Brother,I heard the strange voice of Mo Manor,so I came to have a look. I didn't expect that Mo Manor was wiped out.

The man said,"If I see you following me,I'm afraid you're the murderer!"

Young Master Le said,"My master and Heightslord Mo are close friends. How could I kill him?"

The man said,"If you say that I'm the murderer,then what evidence do you have? Don't speak empty words!"

Lemidine replied,"I don't have any evidence,but I'm sure it wasn't you."

Lemidine said,"Please forgive me for my offence earlier!"

The man said,"I haven't called your name yet."

"I'm Young Master Le. May I know your surname,Senior Brother?" said Le,feeling embarrassed.

The man said,"I'm Guan Changfeng."

Young Master Le said,"You're known as Guan Changfeng,the number one person outside the Great Wall."

That person was Guan Changfeng,who was outside the frontier. He was good at using a spear,and his spear technique was fierce and fierce. He had reached the level of Zongshi Master.

Guan Changfeng said,"It's me. I'm ashamed of my false name. I didn't even see the shadow of the murderer."

Lemidine said,"So it's Senior Guan. Sorry,I've offended you."

Guan Changfeng smiled and said,"What do you mean Senior is not Senior? We martial dao practitioners should do as we please and act as we please. Besides,I'm not much older than you."

Le said next to him,"Haha,Brother Guan is really natural and unrestrained."

Guan Changfeng laughed heartily,"Since brother has called me big brother,big brother can't lose to you. Let's go drink!"

Ha ha,haha,loud laughter was still resounding in the sky above the great desert. The night of the moon became even more quiet. The desert was covered in a layer of bloody images. A terrifying night...

Night,no longer calm...

###Chapter2,Subtle Shadows in the Forest

Crescent Bay

The silence was terrifying. Even though it was daytime,it still gave off a sinister feeling. This type of feeling directly entered one's mind,making one shiver all over. From time to time,vultures would float about in the sky,vultures liked to peck at rotting flesh,making one feel disgusted with just a single look.

The fierce wind raged on the desert,and in the distance,a few poplar trees were still tenaciously surviving. From time to time,a rotten odor was carried by the wind across Crescent Moon Bay,invading this area.

Suddenly,a man came out of the desert,which was extremely horrible in shape. In particular,one-third of the skin on his face was gone,and the blood was flowing down from his face,painting Crescent Bay red. What was even more terrible was that his hands seemed to be bitten by something,decaying.

The man climbed out of the desert with all his strength,and then shouted for help.

However,no matter how hard he shouted,it was of no use. At this time,the sun was about to go down the mountain,and the man couldn't help but despair. Just because he knew that as long as the sky turned dark,no one would pass through the desert.

That was why he frantically screamed for help,a single sound,two sounds,three sounds,all the way until his throat cried out for dry joy. His head was a bit dizzy,falling into the desert. At this time,the great desert became even more peaceful.

The man gradually fainted and tried his best to wake up. He took a deep breath and couldn't help looking into the distance. He seemed to see some flashing human shadows. He really hoped that it was someone who was moving,but when he saw it clearly,he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat,because dozens of wolves were staring at him. Those wolves looked so hungry and thirsty,making his hair stand on end. That kind of feeling was like falling from heaven to hell,making people feel desperate.

Those wolves were also looking at him. The wolf pack was waiting for the best moment to attack. The shadow of the moon was even more terrifying. The man used all his strength to climb up the nearest poplar tree,because he knew that only the dying tree could save him. He,covered in blood,appeared even more blood-red under the moonlit night.

Seeing that he was wriggling and rushing to him like lightning,the wolf screamed in his heart,"I'm going to die!" When the wolf approached him,a piece of knife light shone into the wolf's eyes.

The wolf stopped and stared at the man with the knife. The fierceness of the wolf was completely exposed.

The man opened his eyes and saw the man with the falchion standing in front of him and confronting the wolf. He murmured,"Heaven won't stop me!"

The man with the saber suddenly shouted,"Beast,leave quickly."

The wolf didn't seem to want to leave,didn't want to throw the dinner away. The wolf pack quickly attacked,and the man lifted the big knife horizontally. The wolf was immediately chopped into pieces,blood splashed all over his body,and the blood of the wolf was still dripping from the blade.

The broadsword stopped,the wolf died,and the wolf fled.

After seeing the rest of the wolves escape,the machete fell from his hand to the ground. He sat down on the ground and said,"It's so close. I almost meet Yama!"

The man said to him,"Thank you for saving my life!"

The man with the saber said,"I didn't mean to save you. I just passed by here."

The man said,"Whether it's intentional or not,it's you who saved my life after all. I'm sure you'll pay me back if you're fated to!"

The man with the knife said,"Look at your embarrassed look. Obviously,you haven't eaten anything for days!"

The person said,"Brother,you must be joking. I accidentally entered the desert and got lost."

The knife-wielding man said as he took out beef jerky and a pot of wine.

He threw it to the man and said,"I don't care if he can save me or not. Let's drink first!"

The woman said,"That's great."

After that,he took off the lid of the pot and gulped it down. Then he took another mouthful of beef.

The man said,"My name is Liu Hai. May I know your name,Sir?"

The man holding the blade said,"He Dacheng."

Liu Hai said,"So it's Brother He."

Liu Hai asked again,"Are you He Dacheng,the Desert Blade Master?"

He Dacheng said,"Yes,I am."

Liu Hai said,"Brother He,why did you pass by here?"

He Dacheng said,"I wanted to go to Mo Manor,but I didn't get there before dark. When I was about to arrive at Crescent Moon Bay,I saw wolves surrounding me."

Liu Hai said,"So that's how it is!"

"Brother Liu,can you leave now?" He Dacheng asked.

Liu Hai sighed,"Not bad!"

He Dacheng said,"Then let's sleep outside tonight. We'll go to Mo Manor tomorrow morning."

With that said,he leaned on the poplar and fell asleep.

However,Liu Hai could not fall asleep. He thought to himself,did those hunting him to be an assassin or a member of the Horse Gang in the desert.

Liu Hai looked at the dark sky,and suddenly he felt a strange fear. He felt that tonight was another sleepless night.

Young Master Le and Guan Changfeng walked back to Mo Manor and found the cellar where wine was stored. Guan Changfeng took out two jars of wine and threw one to Young Master Le.

Guan Changfeng tore the seal off and said,"Brother,let's drink." After finishing his words,he took a large gulp.

"Excellent wine! Mo Manor has such good wine! Haha!"

Le Shaolin did not show weakness and also took a big sip. He felt extremely spicy and choked down his tears.

Guan Changfeng smiled and said,"It seems that the young neighbors don't drink much! This wine is very good!"

Lemidine said,"To tell you the truth,I am not used to drinking this kind of wine. I'm sorry."

"It's no wonder that I can't get used to spirits like this as I don't want to live in the Central Plains for a long time. The liquor is mellow and fragrant,and it must have been stored for at least 20,years."

Le said,"Looks like Big Brother is the one who drank with Dong Jiu."

Guan Changfeng said,"Let's see who killed Heightslord Mo."

Le's neighbor said happily,"With Big Brother here,we'll definitely be able to find the murderer."

Guan Changfeng said,"All right,you don't have to flatter me. It's up to fate whether I can find him or not!"

After that,they came to the hall and carefully examined Mo Jianhui's body,but found nothing.

Guan Changfeng looked at it again and discovered that Mo Jianhui was using a single sword to pierce someone's heart. His sword skills were tricky and vicious,merciless in his attacks.

Guan Changfeng said,"It seems that the suzerain was killed by someone with a sword. The suzerain's martial arts is also a first-class master. How could he be saved by someone with a sword?"

Lemidine asked,"Can't you tell who's behind this,Big Brother?"

Guan Changfeng said,"Don't worry,look at the other corpses."

They then checked the other corpses,only to find that they were also killed by a sword.

Both of them were lost in thought.

Guan Changfeng said,"Could it be that his enemy killed him?"

Le said next to Meng Qi,"I don't think so. I know that Manor Lord Mo doesn't seem to have any enemies."

Guan Changfeng said,"Hard to say." After that,he looked at the body and suddenly found that the body's heart,liver,spleen,and lungs were missing."

Le Shaolin couldn't help but fall back when he saw the corpse. He angrily said,"You killed someone and even took the organs away. It's really vicious."

Guan Changfeng said,"Could it be him?"

Le said next to him,"Who is it?"

Guan Changfeng said,"Evil Spirit!"

Lemidine asked,"Who is the Evil Spirit?"

Guan Changfeng said,"I haven't seen him either. No one knows his name. I only know that his Evil Spirit Martial Arts and character are weird. It is said that Evil Spirit likes to practice martial arts with human organs."

Lemidine said,"It must be him!"

Guan Changfeng said,"But it is said that the Evil Spirit was lost ten years ago."

"Did you encounter anyone on your way to the desert?" Guan Changfeng suddenly said,
