Eternal Sword

Chapter 41: Chasing in the Dark
By the time Chen Tang had mastered these sword techniques on the snowy mountain, it was already late at night.

Xuetuaner was leaning against the tiger and sleeping soundly.

Chen Tang quietly put on his bow and arrow, tied a long sword at his waist, and prepared to go down the mountain.

"Are you going to take action?"

The mountain visitor seemed to have noticed something and asked.

Chen Tang nodded.

His most important goal this time when he went down the mountain was to avenge Chen Daan.

First get rid of Cui Zhao, and then go settle accounts with County Magistrate Sun.

The guest in the mountain said, "After you go down the mountain this time, you have a lot of things to do, so you don't have to rush back. Xuetuan'er's nursing period is over, and you can still practice at the foot of the mountain. After you go back, find some lead weights and tie them to your limbs and torso."

"Your movements will become clumsy and inconvenient, but in this case, continuing to practice the Subduing Tiger Fist will maximize your body's potential. It won't be too late to come back after you shed your bronze skin and deal with those things."

Chen Tang nodded.

He vaguely felt that the mountain guest asked him to practice at the foot of the mountain, which might be related to Zhiwei, and also meant for him to take care of him.

Of course, that was exactly what he meant.

Although the fat old man and Qing Mu would not harm Zhiwei, he was still a little worried.

Chen Tang bid farewell to the mountain guest and went down the snowy mountain under the cover of night.

It was almost four o'clock in the morning when he arrived in Changze County.

Not far along the street, Chen Tang moved his ears and faintly heard the sound of weapons clashing.

It was now early morning, the night was dark, and the streets were empty.

Chen Tang looked normal.

He wasn't that curious enough to join in the fun.

What's more, the direction of the sound is within the area under the jurisdiction of the Black Water Gang.

Normally when Chen Tang moved around in Changze County, he would try his best to avoid the Black Water Gang to prevent anyone from recognizing him and causing trouble.

Not long after I walked, I heard a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps behind me.

It sounded like someone was running in front, and there were several people chasing behind, running towards him!
Chen Tang frowned slightly and looked back.

I saw a masked man in black in front of me with an injured left shoulder. He was covering the wound with his right hand and running away.

Behind him were three tall men with untied hair, striding forward with stern and fierce looks on their faces, holding long knives, and chasing after the man in black!

People with long hair and left-side lapel are almost all members of the Black Water Gang!

When the masked man saw Chen Tang, he paused slightly and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

“This guy recognizes me!”

When Chen Tang saw the masked man's reaction, an idea flashed through his mind.

Chen Tang stared at the man's exposed eyebrows and eyes, and by comparing his body shape, a person quickly emerged in his mind.

Meng Liangyu!
After he came into this world, he didn't know many people.

Having just met Meng Liangyu during the day, he had a deep impression of him, so it was easy for him to guess the identity of the masked man in black.

Meng Liangyu didn't expect that she would see Chen Tang here.

What time is this?

Why is he outside instead of staying at home?

Maybe he just came back from hunting, so it’s not his fault.

Seeing the bow and arrow on Chen Tang's back, several thoughts flashed through Meng Liangyu's mind.

Under normal circumstances, he would probably be able to see some clues, but now that he was being chased, he had no time to think too much.

He made a mistake in today's matter and is probably in great danger.

In this case, Chen Tang cannot be implicated anymore!
Thinking of this, Meng Liangyu turned around and turned into the alley next to him.

The three swordsmen from the Blackwater Gang followed closely behind.

Chen Tang raised his eyebrows slightly.

If he remembered correctly, the end of the alley should be a dead end.

...Meng Liangyu ran wildly along the alley, but before he ran far, he saw a dark high wall in front of him, and his heart sank.

He suddenly changed direction and fled in a hurry, and without noticing he ran into a dead end!
He took a deep breath, sprinted forward, stomped the wall twice with his feet, leaped up, raised his arms high, trying to grab the edge of the wall above to support his body and climb over.

But his shoulder was injured, the wound was so deep that he couldn't even lift his left arm completely.

The edge of the wall was within reach, but it was just a little bit short.

Meng Liangyu's figure slid back along the wall.

Due to this delay, three swordsmen from the Blackwater Gang had caught up with them.

This distance no longer allows Meng Liangyu to sprint again and try again.

"Who are you? What's your purpose in visiting the Black Water Gang at night?"

The Blackwater Gang swordsman in the middle asked in a deep voice.

"The knife he just dropped on the ground seems to have the logo of the Evil Wolf Gang." said another swordsman from the Blackwater Gang.

"The Wolf Gang?"

The man in the middle shook his head and said, "As far as I know, no one in the Wolf Gang has his skills. He should have the strength of the eighth rank!"

Meng Liangyu leaned against the cold wall, staring at the three people opposite him, and said coldly: "Although the three of you are all ninth-grade, you are definitely not ordinary Black Water Gang swordsmen. Who are you?"

"Haha, you have quite a good eye."

The one in the middle chuckled, raised the long knife in his hand, and said slowly: "It's a pity that you will die soon."

Crunch... Crunch...

Just then, the sound of footsteps on snow was heard in the alley.

"Ok?"

The four people at the end of the alley frowned at the same time.

The masked man in black in front of them had no way to retreat, so the three Blackwater Gang swordsmen were not worried that he would escape, so they turned around to look.

I saw a tall figure slowly walking out of the darkness of the alley.

"It's you?"

When they saw this man, the three Blackwater Gang swordsmen quickly realized that they had just seen this young man on the street.

After all, there was no one else on the street, and the young man, carrying a bow and arrow and a long sword on his waist, was still quite conspicuous.

"This is none of your business, don't get involved!"

When Meng Liangyu saw Chen Tang appear, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He scolded him and reminded him to leave quickly.

Since Chen Tang is here, he will naturally not leave.

He owes Meng Liangyu a favor.

What's more, these three are from the Blackwater Gang.

"You have the strength of an eighth rank, how could you be so embarrassed by three ninth rank people?"

Chen Tang asked calmly.

Meng Liangyu was so anxious that sweat appeared on his forehead.

It's already this time and you're still asking these questions.

But he still said: "These three people are from the military, and their fighting style is completely life-saving! There were originally four of them, and I killed one of them, but this person didn't care about his own life and injured me with a knife before he died."

Normally, the ninth rank cannot defeat the eighth rank.

But if all the ninth-grade masters work together, they can fight against the eighth-grade masters.

What's more, the four ninth-rank warriors of the Blackwater Gang all came from the military. Every sword move they make is a killing move, and they fight with their lives on the line!
This was completely beyond Meng Liangyu's expectations.

Before that, he drew his knife and pointed it directly at the opponent's vital points.

A normal person would choose to block his sword or dodge.

But the Blackwater Gang swordsman just chose a lose-lose tactic, and exchanged his life for the knife wound on his left shoulder!
Meng Liangyu was holding a sword in his left hand, and his left shoulder was injured. He didn't dare to use force with his entire left arm, and the long sword was knocked down.

As a result, he no longer had any chance of winning against the remaining three ninth-grade masters.

Meng Liangyu had only seen this kind of life-threatening fighting style and killing moves in the military.
