I can't live forever, so I have to reincarnate infinitely

Chapter 260 The enigmatic young master

After less than half an hour, Du Youqian heard a slight sound of dead branches breaking in the forest in the distance.

If it were someone else, they might think it was an auditory hallucination in the dead of night, or they might think that the sound was inadvertently made by a small animal in the forest.

But Du Youqian not only heard the sound, but also felt the murderous intent.

This is undoubtedly the enemy.

He stood up and glanced at Qing He.

The bonfire had long since been extinguished, leaving only a few reddish embers.

However, the moon and stars are sparse, so the field of vision is pretty good.

Qing He's face was naturally quite ugly. I don't know whether he was cold or frightened, but he was shivering.

The acting is pretty good.

Du Youqian was actually [-]% sure that she was the mole.

But after thinking about it, he decided to keep her.

It's not that she is kept here to deliver wrong information to the enemy.

Frankly speaking, the pursuers are just mortals. They can be crushed by strength. There is no need for any strategy. It is most convenient to defeat them with force.

Qinghe was left here just because there was no one to serve him in this wilderness, so it was somewhat inconvenient.

Even if Qing He is left to wash clothes and prepare some food, it is better than doing it by himself.

The footsteps were getting closer.

There should be five people who heard the sound.

Where the four people's footsteps came from, there was another person who quietly approached from behind. Not only did he not make any sound, he even restrained his breath well.

But it still couldn't be hidden from Du Youqian's consciousness.

In fact, the foundation of this body is quite good. The reason why it is no longer magical and is not even close to death is because it is not sick, but because it has been poisoned.

Moreover, it is definitely not an ordinary mortal poison.

Why would Du Youqian know?
Because this was what Zeng Baiming, who had already formed an elixir, asserted when Baili Yingxiong took him to Lingxiao Jiange to seek medical advice.

Qing He's face became even more ugly, but he didn't beg Du Youqian to run away anymore. He just stood there with his head lowered, as if he was waiting for death quietly.

It was as if he had given up on this young master who had sharpened his wooden sword and prepared to fight.

Du Youqian was very interested to know that she and the mastermind behind the scenes had been creating a sense of urgency, trying to force herself to retrieve the token of her ancestor Baili Shang.

And now that he doesn't escape, will the other party change his strategy?
The pursuers finally showed up.

They were all dressed in black and masked, holding very ordinary ring-headed knives. There were no details that could reveal their identities.

"Why don't the remnants of Xianlai Castle escape? Have you finally accepted your fate?" The leader said with a joking look in his eyes, "I didn't expect that you, a sick man who can't carry your shoulders or lift your hands, are so strong-willed that you are actually in our midst. He was hunted down and was on the run for three months. But that was the end of it."

Du Youqian looked at them for a few times, put the wooden sword on his shoulder a little frivolously, and said with a smile: "You all have a good foundation in swordsmanship. You can be regarded as second-rate masters in the world. If you were in some counties, you might be able to dominate. , or Xiaoju Mountain Forest. Even if you put it in Xianlai Castle, you can still compete with the disciples who entered the house. I'm afraid, your status is not low, right?"

The masked man's eyes flashed with surprise, obviously surprised that Du Youqian was not afraid of danger and talked eloquently.

"You are actually a bit brave. It seems that the rumors are wrong and you are not that useless. But you don't have to think about asking for our details. Even if I tell you, you won't be able to tell others alive."

Du Youqian smiled and said: "You misunderstood... I don't want to inquire about your details. Really, I have no interest in your origins. I just want to find out how many others are in your organization above you." Master? How many more batches do I have to kill before the mastermind behind the scenes shows up, or do I give up?"

The masked man and his companion looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "I thought you were brave, but I didn't expect you to be a lunatic."

After saying that, he raised the knife and said, "Don't worry, I will give you a happy one!"

He moved like a rabbit and was as agile as a leopard. He rushed towards Du Youqian and aimed his sharp ring-headed knife at Du Youqian's neck.

However, with Du Youqian's eyesight, he could see that his foothold was not facing him, but at his side. The Huanshou knife in his hand also changed. In the end, he would not directly hit himself with the blade, but would use it to hit him. He hit himself with the back of the knife, probably trying to knock himself out.

So my analysis was correct. After I stopped running away and prepared to face him head-on, the other party also changed his strategy and no longer forced himself to take out the token in a tense atmosphere.

Instead, he planned to capture himself alive and torture him to find out the whereabouts of the token.

Rushing in front of Du Youqian, the masked man found that Du Youqian still didn't make any movement, not even moving his shoulders. He didn't know whether he was frightened or unable to react.

A trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. Such a sick man dared to stop fighting with himself and others. He was really tired of living and looking for death.

While thinking about it, he quickly turned the blade and prepared to knock the kid unconscious with the back of the blade.

But at this moment, he found that all his strength seemed to be drained out of him in an instant.

What's going on here?
Am I poisoned?

He paused blankly.

At this time, he heard the exclamations of his subordinates.

what happened?

He wanted to turn around to look at his subordinates and ask.

But then he realized that he couldn't speak, and he also felt severe pain in his neck.

He tried to breathe, but he only made a "ho-ho" sound, like an old bellows.

He looked down and saw that the wooden sword that the sick man was playing with had been inserted into his throat at some point.

What's going on here?
Could it be that this kid is hiding his secrets and has already been promoted to the innate master?
But even if it is an innate master, I have seen it before. His actions are not so weird, right?He clearly didn't see any movement from Du Youqian.

With confusion and confusion, he watched Du Youqian pull out the wooden sword with a smile, and watched the blood spurt from his throat.

The sky and the earth spun for a while, and he fell down in confusion, with the bright moon and starry sky in his eyes, the buzzing of insects in his ears, and the exclamations and curses of his subordinates.

"What evil method is this!"

"Kill him to avenge the leader!"

"Don't be afraid, he is just a sick boy. The three of us will go together and chop him into pieces!"

He heard his men draw their swords and rush forward.

Those who are useless must die... Then he closed his eyes.

As he was dying, he heard the sound of four corpses falling almost at the same time.

Hey, why four?

"Yeah, the killing went smoothly. You don't seem to be on the same team as them?"

Du Youqian inserted the wooden sword into the soil as if erecting a tombstone, then looked at the guy who sneaked up from behind and was stabbed to death by him and said.

Although this person is also dressed in black and masked, he is fundamentally different from the four people in front of him.

First, this person uses the sword openly and honestly, instead of using the sword to cover up his swordsmanship.

Secondly, this person does not smell like a dead soldier.Although the four people who came forward were second-rate players, they were probably not well-known figures. They were dead warriors trained by a force.

And this person feels more like a gangster who has been bribed.

As for whether it is right or not...

Du Youqian touched his body and took out a few copper coins. He took out three coins and tossed them randomly.

"Hey, it is actually related to the royal family. But whether it is the royal family of Wu State is open to question."

With his current divination attainments and the status bonus of "Knowing the Destiny", even picking a few leaves can predict the affairs of monks below the Foundation Establishment.

He did not go to bury these corpses, but shouted: "Old Fu! Old Fu!"

An old man in his 40s - yes, although the old man was only in his 40s, he was already hunched over, with white hair and beard, slow movements and an old look - stood up awkwardly from the grass and responded: "Old slave. here!"

Du Youqian woke up when he was talking to the masked man.

Then he kept hiding in the grass.

This was inconsistent with his image of a loyal servant, so it was embarrassing.

"Let's search these corpses." Du Youqian didn't argue with him. After giving the order, he returned to Qing He and took her hand to sit down.

"Give me a shoulder squeeze."

"Oh, oh!" Qing He seemed to be sleepwalking. He still hadn't come back to his senses. He knelt down behind Du Youqian mechanically and squeezed his shoulders.

"Cough! Cough!" Du Youqian coughed heavily.

"Young Master, are you okay?" Qing He used the honorific unconsciously.

Du Youqian looked at the old man working hard to search for the corpse, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's an old problem."

Although his swordsmanship crushed these people countless times.

But after all, his body has not been trained and he has been poisoned before, so he is really powerless.

So just now he implemented the secret technique of burning essence and blood that he created in his previous life, and after several improvements, it can also be used by mortals, "Fight to the End".

Of course, because this body is already almost exhausted, the remaining life span will be even shorter...

It doesn't matter though.

In this life, just think that this world is in vain.

After a while, the old man took the collected things and placed them all in front of Du Youqian.

With Du Youqian watching and smelling the strong smell of blood, he naturally didn't dare to cause trouble.

He simply didn't understand how the young master killed those five people.

It feels like a magic trick. Just poke here and there. It's completely unstructured and doesn't look like some great swordsmanship. Even a child can do those moves.

The strong men holding swords seemed to have suddenly suffered from hysteria. They stupidly slammed their throats against the wooden swords and actively begged for death.

He secretly looked at the young master who was counting the items, and then quickly looked away, not daring to look further.

This young master... is really unpredictable.

Behind Du Youqian, Qing He, who was holding his shoulders, was also secretly looking at the young master whom she might have never seen clearly.

She recalled the sights she had seen with her young master before she was ten years old. She thought they were novel at first, but later became accustomed to them.

No matter where the young master goes, the swords around him will ring softly, as if paying high respect to the young master.

So, the young master is really born with a sword heart?
Did you make the wrong choice...
