Taiping Inn

At daybreak, Luo left in a hurry, but he did not go to Ping'an County, but turned to the south of Wulong Mountain, and told the eight escorts not to wait for him and to return directly to Ping'an County.

The eight escorts had no choice but to obey the order, and waited until the horses had finished eating the grass, and then continued to head north to Ping'an County.

Ping'an County was the territory of the Long family, the owner of Wancheng Escort Agency. Arriving in Ping'an County was like going home. The eight usually cautious escorts relaxed a little at this time, walking slowly along the way, chatting with each other, such as the good or bad business of their respective escort agencies, or the recent situation of their children and disciples.

Suddenly, Li, who was walking in the front, pulled the reins, raised his hand and made a gesture. The seven escorts were all old hands, and they reacted instantly, and immediately reached out to the handle of the long sword at their waist, but did not draw the sword immediately. After all, there was a precedent of Shao Baotou, and it was on his own territory. If it was a friend rather than an enemy, it would not look good.

After a while, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness. At this time, the sky had turned dark blue, and the east was pale. With the faint morning light, it could be vaguely seen that this was a young man. He held a sheathed long sword across his shoulders and back of his neck, and his hands were placed on the handle and the end of the sheath, respectively, which looked quite frivolous.

Li Baotou looked at the person in front of him, his face gradually became solemn, but he still followed the rules of the rivers and lakes, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Wancheng Escort Agency is passing by, courtesy!"

After that, Zhang Baotou beside him took out a small money bag from his bag, which contained ten Taiping coins, that is, three hundred taels of silver. After throwing the money bag far away, he said loudly, "It's just a token of my appreciation, not a sign of respect!"

The young swordsman didn't even look at the money bag that fell not far in front of him, and his body didn't move at all.

The eight escort leaders understood that they had no escort, they were already in their own territory, and they did not accept money, which meant that the people who came were mostly seeking revenge and killing, and it was no longer a matter of how much money they paid.

There was only the sound of swords being drawn, and eight long swords were unsheathed at the same time, shining coldly under the sky.

The young swordsman grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, which was particularly creepy in the current environment.

The next moment, without any nonsense, the swordsman began to rush forward, and the whole person seemed to be a phantom, and instantly came in front of Li Escort.

Li Escort did not react at all, and he was beheaded by a knife before he even raised the long sword in his hand to block.

In the slightly dim morning light, a stream of blood first sprayed up to a height of more than a foot, and then the headless body fell to the ground from the horse's back.

The young swordsman flicked his wrist, and the blood on the blade immediately splashed an arc of scarlet blood on the ground. His gloomy eyes swept over everyone, making the other seven escort leaders feel terrified.

The speed of that knife just now was really terrifying.

Among the eight of them, the cultivation level of this escort leader Li was the highest, and he was only one step away from the Baodan realm, but he was still no match for this person's knife. So what kind of cultivation level would the newcomer have?

The seven escort leaders looked at each other. Even without saying a word, they knew that the cultivation level of the person in front of them was so high that even if the seven of them joined forces, they would never be able to defeat him. The plan now was to flee separately, as many people as possible would count. After all, this was already in the territory of Ping'an County, and the Long family mansion was not far away. As long as they fled there, the big boss would take care of them.

After a glance, the seven escort leaders threw away their torches without any hesitation, shook the reins, and rushed in seven directions except the direction where the young swordsman was.

The young swordsman smiled and moved like a ghost again, instantly catching up with a escort leader. The blade was as bright as snow, and the blade flashed with a strange red light. With just one cut, he cut a wound about three feet long on the back of the escort leader, directly splitting the spine in half.

Then he swept again and instantly came to the horseback of the third escort leader, stabbed the escort leader in the back with a knife, and the tip of the knife came out of his chest, bleeding.

When the body fell off the horse, he stood upright on the horse's back, and then used a thousand-pound weight. The horse could not bear it immediately, and knelt on the ground with four legs, and the back collapsed. It was obvious that it could not survive.

The young swordsman landed lightly, looked at the five escort leaders who were about to run away, and chuckled: "Can you run away?"

After the voice fell, he began to run wildly, not chasing a certain escort leader in a straight line, but relying on his ghost-like speed, he forcibly made a huge arc trajectory, and these escort leaders who were fleeing separately were just on this arc.

He wanted to kill all eight escort leaders of Wancheng Escort Agency by himself, and not let any of them go alive.

Just as he boasted in front of the lady, clean and neat.

If he let people go, how can it be called clean and neat?

This person was Sun Hu, who came here to kill people on the orders of the palace officials.

Sun Hu always cared little about the life and death of others, but he always took the orders of the palace officials very seriously. Since the palace officials asked him to kill, he must do it very well.

When he first met Gong Guan, he said that he wanted to marry her. Gong Guan was neither angry nor happy about this "ambitious" guy. She just said "Oh" lightly, which made Sun Hu, who had always been ambitious, feel for the first time in his life what it meant to be ignored and despised.

It was then that he suddenly realized that for these high-ranking geniuses, a small person like him, who came from a humble background in the market, would be nothing more than a chess piece or a tool, even if he had some opportunities and abilities, as long as he had not reached the level of Purple Mansion Sword Immortal. Moreover, the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal might not have no background, otherwise how could he have reached the top of the Shaoxuan Ranking at such a young age?

It was for this reason that he decided to join the Female Sect.

Although there are very few outstanding men in the Female Sect, and generally the females are stronger than the males, all matters are decided by a group of women, and they especially advocate that women should control the world. Among the outstanding ancestors of all generations, there are many who are famous among the nobles and have left their names in history. There is also a patriarch who was once the queen, and as a woman, she secretly promoted the development of the world. It can be seen that the women of the Female Sect are powerful, but there are exceptions to everything. There is a male master in the Female Sect now known as "Blood Knife". His real name is Ning Yi. He was a Confucian disciple in his early years. Later, for unknown reasons, he joined the Female Sect. For more than ten years, he has traveled across the Western Regions. Those who obey me prosper, and those who disobey me die. He has owed countless blood debts with his sword. After the disappearance of the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal, he ranked tenth on the Taixuan List, a real master of the Heavenly Realm.

Sun Hu became his disciple and learned the "Twelve Blood Knife Styles" and "Purple Blood Skill" from him, and also got the "Blood Oath".

Because he couldn't stand the contempt of the palace official, he chose to follow the palace official and use the knife in his hand to prove that he was not a useless person. Then one day, he would suppress this high-ranking woman under himself.

However, for Sun Hu now, this day is still a little too far away. He should be humble and do his best. Otherwise, with the temperament of that woman, he would really spit out two "Blood Dragon Pills".

At this time, Sun Hu, who drew a huge arc, had come to the side of the fourth escort leader. Without any nonsense, he directly chopped the man and the horse in half with one knife.

Then he continued to run without stopping.

In the next short time of less than an incense stick, he raised his knife and killed seven of the eight escort leaders of Wancheng Escort Agency as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. Only the last one was left, who was just at the end of this big arc, still galloping on his horse, and was about to cross Wulong Mountain.

Sun Hu smiled coldly and was about to kill him with a knife.

If it were any other time, he might have some leisure time to play cat and mouse tricks, but today it was not possible. First, he was on someone else's territory, and he had to rush back to clean up the mess after killing people. Second, the lady must have other instructions, so he must finish the matter before dawn and rush back to the lady.

Just as he killed someone with a knife, a carriage that traveled day and night came at the end of the post road.
