Chapter 007
Yang Ming was prepared and could easily observe the murderous intent in Xu Hu's eyes. He couldn't help but feel sank and fell into a dilemma.
He had to do nothing to eat or drink, and he had to do something now. When Xu Hu was prepared, even with the help of the dagger, Yang Ming had no chance of winning. Even if Yang Ming was lucky enough to win, Lingwu City would be sentenced to death.
After all, Yang Ming has no backing. Xu Hu is at the third level of Tongxuan. Although he is also a traitor, he is a high-level traitor and his status is much higher than that of him.
What's more, there is a scarred man behind Xu Hu with an unknown origin.
He ate and drank, and was hit by cartilage powder. Once it broke out, Yang Ming could not even pick up the dagger and could only be slaughtered by others.
However, in just a blink of an eye, Yang Ming made a decision and started eating and drinking without saying a word. Xu Hu was overjoyed when he saw this. He mentioned that the true energy in his palms finally slowly dissipated.
Yang Ming's cultivation has improved greatly and his appetite has been greatly improved. Moreover, he has the strength to eat well and has the help of Xu Hu treating him, so he has a lot of food and drinks, which is also very enjoyable.
Xu Hu didn't expect Yang Ming to have made a breakthrough, and he thought Yang Ming was about to die, so he was possessed by a starving ghost. Although he felt sorry for the silver and secretly scolded Yang Ming for eating, he did not want to kill him here unless he had to do so, so he had to hold his anger in his heart and smiled at Yang Ming.
After drinking and eating, Yang Ming took a jujube wooden pole and carried a large wooden barrel. He followed Xu Hu and a brigade of more than a hundred servants, and set out along the rugged mountain road towards the Bingyutan behind the two mountains.
Because it was an empty bucket, the servants spent only half an hour climbing two mountains along the rugged mountain road and reaching the foot of the mountain on the west side of the second mountain. It seemed like a large piece of ice-colored jade, the edge of the ice-jade pool with a hint of white cold air.
The water in the Ice Jade Pond has excellent water quality and contains a small amount of spiritual energy. Drinking it all year round can strengthen the body. The daily task of Yang Ming, Xu Hu and other servants is to draw water from it to the base outside Lingwu City, and then the carriages and horses sent from the city will pull the water into the city together.
In addition, it was from this Bingyutan that Yang Ming would truly face the danger of his life. Because there are differences in strength and physical fitness of the servile labour, there are also many orders of water draw, so the road is also fast and slow, and the distance will gradually widen. In this way, Yang Ming will inevitably be alone.
Even if Yang Ming deliberately slows down or speeds up, he will find at most one or two errands, which will not affect Xu Hu's attack. After all, Yang Ming is at a disadvantage. Even if there are other errands, he will stand by and watch at most, and most of them will even put down the wrong end.
"Okay? Let's go on the road together. When you are tired, I can help you!" The servants all took the lead in breaking the ice and drawing water. After only a short time apart, Xu Hu came to Yang Ming again.
"If you can't find anything, you can open the way and I will follow you."
Yang Ming nodded happily, showing as usual, without showing any flaws. Xu Hu was eager to kill, so he was too lazy to say anything more, so he took the lead in walking. In order to widen the distance between him and other servants, although he picked up two large buckets of water, he still walked very quickly. Although Yang Ming had known Xu Hu's strength, he was still amazed.
At this time, Yang Ming did not say a word, pretended to be hard-working, and just followed Xu Hu. Half an hour later, the two were far ahead of other servants and saw the iron chain bridge between the two mountains.
The iron chain bridge is five hundred feet long and spans a deep valley surrounded by clouds. There is another one in the deep valley: Tiger Roar Valley. Because someone once saw a demon tiger appearing in the valley. In this way, if it falls into the valley, even if it is lucky, it will fall into the tiger's mouth.
For Xu Hu, this place is naturally a good place to destroy corpses. As long as Yang Ming is killed and throw it into the deep ravine, even if there is no evidence, most of the things will be left alone.
The iron chain bridge has five arm-sized iron chains, three are below and wooden boards are placed on it, which is the bridge deck, and the other two are on the height of half a person on both sides of the bridge, serving as a protective effect. Even so, the iron chain bridge is still swaying and terrifying when walking up.
"I guess you are tired too, let's take a break here." When he arrived at a clearing ground covered with sand and stone at the head of the iron chain bridge, Xu Hu stopped and turned around and said with concern.
"Okay. You're leaving too fast, I've wanted to take a break!" Yang Ming put down the wooden barrel, leaned on the jujube wood in both hands, and gasped deliberately.
Xu Hu thought Yang Ming was exhausted and secretly happy, so he bent down immediately and prepared to take out the Baijing Steel Knife hidden in the inner wall of the wooden barrel.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ming suddenly showed horror on his face, opened his eyes wide and looked at the direction of the iron chain bridge behind Xu Hu, and shouted loudly: "No, there is a demon tiger on the bridge!"
"What?"
Xu Hu had long heard of the legend of the demon tiger eating people. He was shocked when he heard this and thought too much. He quickly looked back and saw that the bridge was empty. Then he couldn't help but feel a little nervous and a bad premonition came to his mind.
"Xu Hu, I treat you as close as a brother, but you harmed me. Fortunately, the sky has eyes, so I saw your hidden steel knife. Let me take my life now!" At this moment, Yang Ming's forehead veins swelled up, and he roared like thunder. He held the jujube wooden shoulder pole tightly with both hands, and smashed it hard on the back of Xu Hu's head.
This stick was filled with wind, coupled with a surprise attack, and it was a roar, which could shock the enemy. It was lightning-thunderous and was quite fierce.
"No, this trash knows I want to kill him." Xu Hu was shocked, and then he realized that his intention had been exposed. He was hit by Yang Ming's trick to attack the east and west. However, he dared to kill people and was naturally not an ordinary person, so he decisively rolled to the side.
"ah!"
However, Xu Hu underestimated Yang Ming's strength and reacted a little later. His head successfully dodged, but his left wrist was hit by Zao Mu. With a click, the bones were broken and his hands drooped. The severe pain made him scream.
Obviously, after being attacked by this stick, Xu Hu's left hand had been temporarily nullified, and his combat power was reduced by at least 30%. Yang Ming's waiting was not in vain.
Unfortunately, Xu Hu still pulled out the shaky Baijing Steel Knife with his right hand. Yang Ming also had the opportunity to see clearly this steel knife, which was three feet long, with a pointed head and a wide blade, and had three long blood grooves on the blade. It was sharp and light, and it was really a must-have weapon for killing people and robbing families.
"Xu Hu has obtained the Steel Sword of Hundred-Making Sword, and even one arm is not as good as a match!" Yang Ming was slightly surprised, his eyes became more serious, and his muscles were tensed up, as if he was a longbow that was pulled out, and it was like a raccoon cat with her hair standing up in danger.
"I didn't expect that you, a waste, to find the steel knife. Unfortunately, this doesn't change anything. If you dare to attack me, it will only make you die even worse!" Xu Hu stopped pretending, his face became ferocious, and he roared like a beast. Before his body could completely turn, he waved his hand and slashed towards Yang Ming.
Click!
The cold sword light flashed by, and the jujube wood in Yang Ming's hand broke with the sound, and the fracture was flat and smooth, which showed the sharpness of the Bailiang Stainless Steel Knife.
"It's so dangerous, I just almost explained it!"
Looking at the cut jujube wood, Yang Ming's pupils shrank, and he screamed with great tremendousness. He smashed them and the two wooden barrels at Xu Hu one after another, and retreated quickly at the same time.
