Eternal Sword

Chapter 324 Instant Kill
Yunniang fell silent.

After a long while, she smiled and said, "I didn't make a mistake in choosing you. Your favor is indeed valuable."

"Did Yunniang agree?"

Chen Tang asked.

Yunniang said: "Feng Ao lives in a separate courtyard in the bamboo forest north of Qianzhu City..."

As she spoke, Yunniang dipped her fingers in the tea and drew a simple map and route on the table.

"There is a secret passage here that leads to a dry well about a mile away. You can take the secret passage later to avoid the eyes and ears near Shadow Building, come up from the dry well and head to the north of the city."

"When the time comes, I will cover you in the lobby downstairs. When you hear the sound of the wine glass breaking, you can take the opportunity to leave."

After confirming Chen Tang's intention, Yun Niang quickly made arrangements.

"Thank you."

Chen Tang bowed.

"Take care of yourself."

Yunniang nodded, took Chen Tang to an empty room on the second floor, pointed out the location of the secret passage, took out a set of gray clothes suitable for night travel, and went downstairs.
-
"Brother Tanimura, why don't you go upstairs and find a room to rest?"

Yunniang came to the lobby and saw Tanimura still sitting upright in the chair with his eyes closed, and asked with a smile.

Tanimura opened his eyes and asked, "It's so late, why isn't Yunniang asleep yet?"

Yunniang said, "I have to keep an eye on those two upstairs. How can I sleep? If they escape, it will be a joke."

"Thank you for your hard work, Yunniang."

Tanimura was expressionless.

Yunniang poured two bowls of wine at the counter, and came over gracefully, with an enchanting posture and a charming smile, saying, "Come, Brother Gucun, I'll treat you to a glass of wine to cheer you up."

"No need."

Tanimura said coldly.

"come on."

Yunniang brought the wine bowl to Tanimura's mouth.

Tanimura frowned and stood up suddenly, trying to avoid it.

"oops!"

Yunniang seemed to be startled, and the wine bowl slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the wine bowl was about to fall to the ground, Tanimura reached out and caught the bowl steadily.

"Yun Niang, be careful."

Tanimura handed over the wine bowl.

Yunniang was so angry that her teeth were itching.

She and Chen Tang agreed to use breaking cups as a signal. The shattering of the wine bowl would attract Tanimura's attention and cover up the sound of the secret passage being opened upstairs.

As a result, the wine bowl was caught by Tanimura, who didn't say anything.

Yunniang's face darkened. She looked at the spilled wine and threw the wine bowl in her hand heavily to the ground, saying loudly, "Tanimura, what do you mean? If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished, right?"

Tanimura looked at the angry Yunniang and felt a little confused.

He seemed to have thought of something, frowned slightly, and moved his ears, showing an expression of listening.

“Is this person’s hearing so sharp?”

A thought flashed through her mind. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yunniang snorted coldly: "If Gucun is worried, he can go upstairs to check. Why is he listening here?"

"I'm not worried."

Tanimura shook his head and said, "Even if they can leave Shadow Building, they can't escape."

"Oh?"

Yunniang heard the hidden meaning in Tanimura's words and asked, "What do you mean?"

Tanimura said calmly, "Young Master, you are accompanied by four senior hermits on this trip."

Yunniang was shocked.

There are four top hermits around Feng Ao!
One of them is Tanimura, in the Shadow Building.

There was also a Xu Ye, following Feng Ao.

Where are the remaining two?

Are they all in the bamboo forest villa outside the city, or do you have other arrangements?

No matter what the situation is, Chen Tang's trip will become extremely dangerous! ——
One mile away from Shadow Building, there is an abandoned house.

At three o'clock in the morning, a tall figure slowly climbed out of a dry well in the yard. It was Chen Tang who ran out from the secret passage of Shadow Building.

Chen Tang looked around and listened with the help of the Wind-Listening Technique. Not finding anything unusual, he set out for the north of the city.

He was wearing a gray robe that covered his face, and the gray cloth tightly wrapped the bow and arrow and tied it to his back. Under the dim starlight, the whole person almost blended into the night.

Chen Tang used the gecko wall-climbing skill to climb along the corner of the wall, out of the courtyard, and into an alley. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

On the side of the alley, there was a dishevelled old man sitting with dark eyes and a cane beside him. He was the blind fortune teller that you see every day!
Chen Tang originally didn't intend to pay attention and pretended not to know him.

But he changed his mind and realized that no matter whether he succeeded or not, he would not be able to stay in Hermit Island today.

He still had more than a hundred hidden coins on him, which he had no way to spend.

Thinking of this, Chen Tang deliberately changed the pace of his steps, walked to the blind fortune teller, and put all the gold coins in his arms into the broken bowl.

The bowl couldn't hold it all and some of it overflowed.

"I can't use these to tell fortunes."

The blind fortune teller listened carefully and laughed strangely.

Chen Tang did not answer, fearing that his voice would be heard by the blind fortune teller, and left quickly.

He tried to avoid the main roads and moved quickly through the dark alleys.

During this time, he noticed that there were some hermits also walking through the city.

Some hide in corners, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

At night, it is completely a world for hermits!

Chen Tang turned into an alley again. Before he had taken a few steps, a figure suddenly flashed at the corner in front of him, blocking the exit of the alley.

The man was about fifty years old, wearing a gray robe, with a stern expression, and looked at Chen Tang without a trace of emotion.

Chen Tang narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression solemn.

The person is not good!
This person's attire is very similar to the two people beside Feng Ao, and it is obvious that he is coming for him!
Chen Tang smelled an extremely dangerous aura from this person!

"who are you?"

Chen Tang asked in a deep voice.

The visitor said slowly: "Young Master had expected that you might escape from Shadow Tower in advance, so he ordered me to patrol the area, and it turned out to be true."

"I've been following you for a long time. I thought you and Fairy Jade Flute had agreed to meet somewhere, but it looks like you're alone."

Chen Tang was secretly shocked.

That mad dog actually thought of this!
Moreover, this person followed him but he never noticed.

This person is probably a high-ranking, third-grade warrior!
The man walked over slowly and said calmly, "It would be better to kill you first, so that I can have an explanation."

Chen Tang gripped the long sword tightly, and while retreating, he concentrated and waited.

This person gave him a great sense of oppression.

He didn't even dare to turn around and run away.

He had a premonition that if he turned around, he would surely die!

This person's attack will definitely be a thundering blow!
At this moment, there was a series of "knock knock" sounds behind Chen Tang, as if something was hitting the ground.

Before he could react, a figure walked past him.

Chen Tang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

When did this person appear?

When the gray-robed man opposite saw this person, he stopped and frowned.

Chen Tang looked at the man's back and was stunned.

Blind fortune teller!

"You blind bastard, this is none of your business!"

The man in gray robe stared at the blind fortune teller and said coldly.

The blind fortune teller seemed not to hear the other person's words. He still held the cane in one hand and kept exploring the way ahead, making a "thump thump" sound.

"court death!"

The gray-robed man's eyes turned cold, his arm shook, and a long sword slipped out of his sleeve and fell right into his palm.

hum!
It seemed like the chanting of a sword, or the sound of a knife.

The cold light flashed and disappeared!
The blind fortune teller kept walking, while the man in gray robe stood there, motionless.

The two figures passed each other.

The next moment, a line of blood appeared on the gray-robed man's throat, growing bigger and bigger!

With a thud, the gray-robed man fell on his back on the ground, his pupils dilated, blood gushing out of his throat, he was dead!
Chen Tang was shocked.

From beginning to end, the man in gray robe didn't even have the chance to attack.

Wait until Chen Tang looked up.

The blind fortune teller had disappeared. In the dark alley, a vague voice could be heard intermittently: "Take money from people and help them get rid of disasters..."
