blood seal

The small tea shed in the forest is only made of simple straw mats.

It was the afternoon at this time, and there were very few people who came to rest in this remote path.

A drunkard collapsed by the fence at the gate, he seemed to be very drunk, and he was already lying there when Ye Chengyu came in.

He put the wine bowl upside down on his face, he couldn't see his face clearly, if it wasn't for his chest heaving, Ye Chengyu almost wondered if he was dead.

But he didn't come to this place to care about the life and death of an alcoholic.

A month ago, a village on the outskirts of Yucheng suffered a bloodbath. The whole village had more than a hundred people massacred. The murderer arrogantly left his name after the murder, expressing that he wanted to kill more.

This murderer is a well-known big devil in Jianghu in recent years. His name suddenly appeared six years ago. He was known to everyone in Jianghu for massacring the Chu family in Weicheng. After this incident, someone approached Yan Minshan, the Patriarch of the Yan family, hoping that he would stand up and catch the murderer.

And Ye Chengyu came out this time because he was invited by his friend Yan Minshan to investigate this bloody case together.

After receiving the news from Yan Minshan, Ye Chengyu immediately took a few servants with him, and hurriedly set off towards Yucheng. In order to reach Yucheng as soon as possible, he chose a more remote and difficult path. Now he is located only a few miles away from Yucheng. It was a two-day journey, but Ye Chengyu's expression did not show the expectation of seeing his friend soon.

Because he has been targeted.

The tea was poisoned, and the surrounding servants fell down one after another, foaming from their mouths. Only Ye Chengyu was still sitting on the chair, but he was already at the end of his battle.

Ye Chengyu used his internal strength to barely suppress the discomfort surging in his body, thinking about the current situation in his heart.

The two hidden guards he brought hadn't appeared so far, and they had probably been dealt with first by the enemy. There should be only one person on the other side, and they acted very cautiously.

While thinking, Ye Chengyu heard a slight sound of breaking wind coming from behind him. Ye Chengyu turned sideways, dodged the hidden weapon flying behind him, and at the same time drew his sword and turned around to fight back.

But the visitor obviously didn't intend to fight him by force, Ye Chengyu stabbed the air, and the other party had already grabbed a handful of white powder and sprinkled it on Ye Chengyu's face, Ye Chengyu was caught off guard, and instantly inhaled a lot powder.

Turning the tip of the sword in Ye Chengyu's hand, he immediately slashed fiercely towards his left arm. The severe pain from his arm prevented Ye Chengyu from being dazed, but even so, he still felt the burst of pain very quickly. A sense of dizziness came, and Ye Chengyu understood that he couldn't last long.

Even though he possesses martial arts, Ye Chengyu is a little bit less vigilant in this aspect than the people in the rivers and lakes who go up and down with swords, and he didn't expect to encounter a killer along the way.

Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Ye Chengyu looked at the visitor without blinking: "You are the one who teaches ghosts."

The person in front of him was dressed in black and masked his face, so he couldn't see his face clearly. He didn't refute Ye Chengyu's identity, obviously he didn't want to talk too much with him.

Seeing that Ye Chengyu was about to fall down, the man in black pulled out his dagger from his arms, and slowly took a step forward. At this moment of triggering, the two looked in the other direction at the same time.

The alcoholic who collapsed at the door had already woken up, sat on the ground and stretched his waist, he didn't seem to be aware of what was going on in the tea shed, he was shouting, "Where's the buddy?"

While calling, he straightened up and slowly walked towards the direction of the two, stumbling on his feet, as if he could fall down again at any time.

The tea shed did not occupy a large area, and the drunkard came up to the two of them in no time. The man in black immediately turned his target and turned around to attack the drunkard.

The alcoholic didn't seem to be fully awake yet, with half-closed eyes, he saw a cold light approaching his eyes from the corner of his eyes. The alcoholic staggered and fell backwards, and the dagger barely wiped his throat.

The heavy chill that hit his face made the drunkard stunned for a moment, and he actually maintained the posture of about to fall and did not move.

The man in black's eyes turned cold, and was about to take advantage of the momentum to pursue him, but the drunkard let out an exaggerated strange cry as if he had finally come to his senses. The fallen body turned over, and immediately hid behind Ye Chengyu, shouting at the same time: "Killer! Heroes, help!"

The man in black was vigilant and attacked Ye Chengyu again.

First he was poisoned, and then he inhaled the drug. Now Ye Chengyu's consciousness has gradually blurred. Seeing the man in black approaching in an instant, he was already powerless to fight back.

Seeing the dagger raised and swung down in the opponent's hand, Ye Chengyu just stared at the man in black in front of him, as if he had given up resistance.

At this moment, the drunkard behind him suddenly grabbed his sword-holding hand and blocked the man in black's attack. The man in black couldn't make a single blow, so he immediately backed away, his eyes fixed on Ye Ye who was hiding behind him. The "drunkard" behind Cheng Yu.

At this time, the "drunkard" has clear eyes, so how can he look like he has just woken up?

The man in black asked, "Who are you?"

The drunkard asked back, "Who are you?"

While speaking, the "drunkard" cut his fingertips with the sword lying in front of him, and put his finger into Ye Chengyu's mouth. Ye Chengyu frowned, but he couldn't stop the other party's movement.

The fishy smell enters the throat, and the consciousness is still in a trance, but the unceasing discomfort in the body seems to be relieved suddenly.

──Is it because of blood?

Ye Chengyu was stunned, and had a vague guess about the identity of this alcoholic in his heart. If it was really "him", maybe he could believe it.

Realizing this, Ye Chengyu's tense nerves relaxed a little.

His body had already stretched to the limit, but now he felt relieved, and finally he could not hold on any longer, just fell on the "drunkard" and lost consciousness.

Seeing the actions of the "drunkard", the man in black did not take advantage of the situation to make a move. Seeing Ye Chengyu's expression turned pale, he knew that the poison in his body had been released.

The pupils of the man in black shrank suddenly: "You are Wen Rongchuan!"

"Drunkard" tilted his head: "I'm Wen Rongchuan."

The man in black tightened his dagger, and said in a cold voice, "Do you dare to hinder me, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Wen Rongchuan said: "If you dare to hinder you, what consequences do I have to worry about?"

The man in black fell silent, obviously not intending to argue with him again.

He knew very well that his ability could not deal with Wen Rongchuan, and Wen Rongchuan's identity was not something that he could do now.

Knowing this, the man in black didn't want to tangle with him any more. He glanced at Ye Chengyu who had fallen into a coma, and the man in black said coldly: "Master Ghost King will not let you go."

After finishing speaking, the man in black started his lightness kung fu and disappeared in an instant.

Wen Rongchuan watched the man in black leave without saying a word, and after a while, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Master Ghost King...why did you let me go."
