The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 25 025
Zhang Yan chased along the official road, thinking that since the thief did not take a carriage and there were no horseshoe marks on the ground, he must go on foot. Even if the thief can walk fast, he still needs to take Mi Zhen with him. Much slower.

He walked forward for a mile, and there were indeed two lines of footprints on the official road, one was extremely wide, and the other was small and exquisite.

There was a faint smile on his face, and he would catch up in a short time. At that time, he must interrogate the thief to find out what happened.

"Strong man, can we stop and have a rest?" The bandit who had been following Zhang Yan couldn't take it anymore and asked cautiously.

"Okay! Then I will let you rest enough!"

A murderous intent flashed across Zhang Yan's face, and the sword hanging from his waist was unsheathed in an instant, but a cold light flashed quickly, a human head fell off the horse behind him, and the body also fell on the ground. on the ground.

At this moment, the bandit was of no use to Zhang Yan, and the closer he got to the bandit in front, the more worried Zhang Yan was, fearing that the bandit would spoil his affairs.Simply killed the matter with a sword.

Zhang Yan put his sword back into its sheath, slapped his horse out again, and galloped forward. He was riding a horse and leading a horse, worrying that the horse under him would be exhausted after such a long journey, and it would be convenient for him to transfer at that time.

He was walking alone on the night road, and after less than three miles of chasing forward, he saw a faint fire radiating from an earth temple.

He gradually slowed down and approached the Earth Temple. One mile away from the Earth Temple, he reined in the horses, jumped off the horses, tied the two horses to the tree, and Then he walked forward with his sword, for fear of disturbing the people in the earth temple.

In the dilapidated earth temple, beside the blazing bonfire, there were two people sitting, one of them was Mi Zhen, who was disguised as a man. At this time, she was tired, tired, hungry and sleepy, and she couldn't keep her eyelids from sitting there. Fighting, almost falling asleep.

But she still didn't dare to let herself fall asleep. After all, there was a ferocious person sitting beside her. He was afraid that if he fell asleep, this person would do something bad to him.

This person was wearing an iron mask, and his face could not be seen clearly, but his eyes emitted a light like a poisonous snake, even a glance was enough to make people shudder.

The man was tall and burly, and his hands near the campfire looked extremely thick, and the palms were covered with calluses, which could be caused by the accumulated use of guns and sticks.

The entire Earth Temple was very silent, except for the crackling sound of the campfire burning, only the breathing of two people remained.

After a while, the masked man turned his head to look at Mi Zhen, saw that Mi Zhen was drowsy, shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart: "What a burden!"

Mi Zhen's eyes seemed to be closed but not closed, half opened and not opened, in a daze, seeing the masked man staring at her, she was startled, and immediately became sober, and asked tremblingly: "You...you Why are you looking at me like this? Let me tell you, you must not have any wrong thoughts about me, otherwise, I will... just hit my head to death... "

"Cut!" The masked man gave Mi Zhen a disdainful look, turned his head, and continued to look at the campfire without saying a word.

Suddenly, the door of the Earth Temple was kicked open by someone, and a gust of cold wind blew from outside the door, rolled up some broken snow, and blew it on the bonfire inside the house.

The intensity of the bonfire changed immediately, sparks splashed and flew towards the masked man.

The masked man hastily covered it with his arms, and at the same time jumped up and retreated sharply.

As soon as the masked man's feet landed on the ground, a cold light pierced his face, straight for his throat.He quickly pulled out a short blade from his pocket, directly blocked the cold light, and let out a humming sound.

Immediately afterwards, there was a "clang", and the cold light fell to the ground. Only then did the masked man notice that it was actually a scabbard.

But at this moment, a figure has appeared in front of Mi Zhen, with a horizontal sword on his chest, and a pair of fierce eyes staring at this masked man.

Seeing Zhang Yan standing in front of her, Mi Zhen was so excited that she immediately stood up from the ground, hid behind Zhang Yan, and shouted excitedly: "You are finally here. Leave me alone?"

"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone. If I can't even protect a woman, how can I protect the environment and the people in the future?"

The masked man sneered, fierce lights shot out from his eyes, and he shot the short blade towards Zhang Yan with a wave of his hand.

Zhang Yan pushed Mi Zhen away, and blocked the short blade with a wave of his long sword, but at this moment, the masked man appeared in front of him, the speed was astonishing.

The masked man picked up the fallen short blade and stabbed the tip directly at Zhang Yan's abdomen.

Startled, Zhang Yan turned his wrist hastily, and the long sword drew an arc, cutting towards the masked man's wrist.

The masked man frowned slightly, and hastily withdrew his hand. With the other hand, he took out a short blade and stabbed it towards Zhang Yan's shoulder.

"Be careful up there!" Seeing this, Mi Zhen was taken aback, and hurriedly yelled.

Without Mi Zhen's reminder, Zhang Yan also knew that he was in a dangerous situation. With an idea, he thrust his long sword upwards obliquely, pointing directly at the masked man's armpit; his left palm turned into a hand knife, directly hitting the masked man's throat; Attack towards the crotch of the masked man.

The masked man broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that Zhang Yan's reaction would be so quick. If he didn't pull away and leave, his throat, armpits, and crotch would be attacked at the same time, making it impossible to defend against.

In desperation, the masked man jumped back and distanced himself from Zhang Yan in an instant. He was afraid of Zhang Yan, and said in his heart: "This man's kung fu is not inferior to mine..."

"Are you okay?" Seeing Zhang Yan forcing the masked man back, Mi Zhen hurriedly asked with concern.

"It's okay, thank you for your reminder, it seems that you still care about me?" Zhang Yan joked.

Mi Zhen was taken aback, a blush appeared on her face, she hastily retorted: "Who cares about you anymore, I care about myself. If you die, who will protect me?"

Zhang Yan smiled, but looked at the masked man standing opposite him with a ferocious face. He saw that the masked man held a short blade in each hand, and his burly body was a head taller than him.In the fight just now, Zhang Yan was deeply impressed by the masked man's agility.

"Stop singing along there, you two, and I'll send you all to the underworld in a while!" The masked man swung his double blades, and his body rushed towards Zhang Yan like an arrow flying off the string.

Zhang Yan sneered, and said to Mi Zhen: "You stay away, and don't let his dirty blood splash on you for a while!"

"Oh, good!" Mi Zhen hurriedly retreated to the side, hiding far away, but her heart was agitated.

"Big words!" The masked man rushed to Zhang Yan's side, swung his double blades and stabbed at Zhang Yan's vital parts, his movements were very coherent, without giving anyone a chance to breathe.

Zhang Yan held up the long sword to block left and right, and the defense was airtight. No matter where the masked man attacked, he blocked them one by one.

"Ding ding ding dong..."

There were cold lights shining in the earth temple, and the bonfire was blown to and fro by the strong wind driven by the two, and the light of the fire flickered even more, making Mi Zhen feel a little dazzled.

In the blink of an eye, ten moves had passed, and the masked man's rushing attack did nothing to defeat Zhang Yan, and he couldn't help feeling angry.

In the next few moves, the masked man's movements were significantly slower, as if he lacked stamina.

Zhang Yan laughed and said, "Why did you slow down? Did you lose your strength? If that's the case, then it's my turn to perform, right?"

As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Yan's moves changed, and the sword edge turned sharply, and instantly changed from defense to offense. The sword light shone, the sword shadow was shadowy, and a huge sword net covered the masked man.

The masked man was extremely surprised, he quickly swung his double blades to block, and it was very difficult to defend.

At this moment, the offensive and defensive momentum was reversed, and the masked man struggled to block, but he used too much force in front of him, and his stamina was obviously insufficient. If he didn't pay attention, a sword was drawn on his arm, and blood oozed out immediately .

The masked man did not yell, but gritted his teeth to endure the pain, but Zhang Yan's offensive not only did not weaken, but became stronger and stronger, making it difficult for him to deal with it.

At this moment, there were two crisp sounds of "Dang, Dang", and the short blades in his hands were picked up by Zhang Yan's long sword one after another, falling to the ground respectively, and a cold light pierced his face.

"My life is over!" The masked man couldn't dodge, and there was a burst of horror in his heart.

With a flash of cold light, the cold sword suddenly stopped at the throat of the masked man. The masked man looked at Zhang Yan who was holding the long sword in surprise, and asked, "Aren't you going to kill me?"

"It's such a skill, it's a pity to kill it." As soon as Zhang Yan's words fell, the tip of the sword suddenly raised, and the mask worn by the masked man was directly lifted away. Reflecting the faint fire light, Zhang Yan took a look at the masked man's appearance. Clearly.

The masked man was extremely handsome, and he didn't look very old. He seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was tattooed on his left cheek, ruining his entire image.

What surprised Zhang Yan was that the masked man was fierce and agile. He thought he was a middle-aged man, but he didn't want to be a teenager.

Zhang Yan pressed his sword against the masked man's throat, and asked sharply, "I'll ask you a few questions. If you can answer them truthfully, I'll let you go."

The masked man didn't show any fear, and said loudly: "I am inferior in skills, and I am convinced that I was defeated by you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

"Who sent you here?" Zhang Yan asked directly.

"My master."

"What's your master's name?" Zhang Yan asked again.

"I don't know!"

A murderous intent flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes, and he moved the long sword in his hand forward, the tip of the sword was about to pierce the masked man's skin.He sternly said, "If you don't answer my question truthfully again, I will really kill you!"

"I am indeed answering your question truthfully. If you don't believe me, I have nothing to do. I don't hesitate to die. The reason why I will answer your question is that you are stronger than me and worthy of my awe. If you want to kill, kill, listen Your respect." The masked man said heartily.

"Are you really not afraid of death?"

"Hmph!" The masked man snorted coldly, closed his eyes, raised his neck, and waited quietly for death.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan immediately withdrew his long sword and asked, "You are indeed a man, what's your name?"

"Xu Sheng!" The masked man replied loudly.
