Chapter 104 This Environment is Perfect

midnight.

barren mountain.

Ruined temple.

"Go collect firewood."

Zhong Lin pointed at Mei Weixuan and gave him orders.

"why me?"

Mei Weixuan looked at the sky outside. The sun had already set, leaving only a ray of light for barely seeing things. If he went to collect firewood at this time, he would probably not be able to see anything in a while.

"You still have the nerve to say that! If you hadn't forced me to go fishing, we wouldn't have to spend the night in this wilderness."

Zhong Lin said angrily.

Mei Weixuan scratched his head. He didn't expect that fishing would be so addictive that he even forgot the time for a moment.

He turned his eyes and saw the altar under the dilapidated mountain temple. He said excitedly, "No need to collect firewood. Just chop up the altar and it will be enough to burn."

After saying that, he was about to draw his sword, but was pushed back by Zhong Lin.

"Do you still have any sense of public morality? Look at this dilapidated temple. All that's left is this table. It was obviously left there intentionally by a passing traveler. If everyone is like you, next time we'll tear down the doors and windows and burn them. Will this place still be a place for people to rest?"

"...That makes sense. I'll go collect some firewood."

Less than half an hour later, Mei Weixuan came in from outside holding a pile of firewood. However, he was dressed in white... and gray. He looked like a rich young man, but he came in covered in dust and dirt, carrying firewood. It looked out of place no matter how you looked at him.

The bonfire was lit, and I found a wooden stick to string together the fish I caught in the afternoon and roasted them over the fire.

Fortunately, Zhong Lin brought some seasonings with him when he went out, as he was afraid of this situation. Now they are useful.

Soon, the entire dilapidated temple was filled with the aroma of grilled fish.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring a pot. This fish would taste better if used to make soup." Zhong Lin said regretfully.

"It's already very good, let's eat, let's eat."

Mei Weixuan grabbed the freshly grilled fish, not afraid of the heat, and tore off a piece of fish meat and put it into his mouth with a grin.

"It's delicious, really delicious, much better than what my so-called chef from Beijing makes."

"If it tastes good, eat more. I've caught so much, eat it all tonight."

"It's not impossible."

Ignoring Mei Weixuan's antics, he took out another one and roasted it on the fire.

"Zhong Lin, look at this place in the middle of the night, on a desolate mountain, in a dilapidated temple, it's almost raining. The time, location, and surroundings all match. Do you think it's like in the storybooks, where a young lady in distress is being hunted down?"

Mei Weixuan lowered his head and said something to Zhong Lin in a low voice.

"You're crazy! Why didn't you mention there were fox demons or evil spirits? This environment is more suitable for Liao Zhai."

The corner of Zhong Lin's mouth twitched, and he looked at Mei Weixuan speechlessly.

"What is Liao Zhai?"

"You can think of it as a ghost story."

"Aren't all ghosts fake? A young lady in distress is more realistic."

"The reality is, apart from you and me, two unlucky guys, there are only wild beasts left in this desolate mountain. Stop talking nonsense, finish your meal quickly and rest after that. I don't want to stay in a dilapidated temple in the desolate mountain tomorrow night."

Wow!
The two people who were eating fish paused and looked at each other, but there was something strange in Zhong Lin's eyes, while Mei Weixuan's face was full of excitement.

This guy is a jinx! What he says comes true.

"Go out and take a look?"

After saying this, he didn't give Zhong Lin any chance to think. He waved his right hand, and his blood and energy surged. The bonfire in front of him was extinguished in an instant, without even a spark.

This also shows Mei Weixuan's subtle control over qi and blood.

Zhong Lin reluctantly put down the grilled fish in his hand and quickly followed. He should have never listened to this guy's tricks and followed him. Instead, he should have followed the main force to Wuyun City. A chase in the middle of the night sounded like trouble. Ordinary people wouldn't even have time to hide! There was no way he was going to get close.

……

"Yu Chaosheng, if you know what's best for you, hand over the things and I'll leave you with an intact body. Otherwise, I'll show you what cruelty is."

On the open space, a group of warriors were surrounding a young man.

The young man knelt on one knee with a long sword in his hand. Drops of bright red blood dripped from his body to the ground, and his face was full of murderous intent.

There were five corpses lying on the ground beside him. Each of them was killed by a single sword strike, either to the throat, between the eyebrows, or to the heart, cleanly and neatly.

Because of this, the people who besieged him just surrounded him and did not dare to move forward.

"You, the Song family, are truly haunting me. You chased me all the way from Pinggu City. If you hadn't been so despicable as to poison me, you would never have been my match."

Yu Chaosheng was breathing heavily, his eyes filled with hatred, and he wished he could kill everyone in front of him.

There was a huge wound on his chest, and the blood flowing from the wound was slightly black with a slight fishy smell. It was obvious that he had been poisoned.

A burly figure slowly walked out of the crowd. He was a swordsman holding a scabbard.

He has a burly appearance and exudes a fierce and murderous aura.

The whole person looked like a sword drawn from its sheath, extremely dazzling even in the night, making it impossible to ignore him.

The moment Yu Chaosheng saw this person, his pupils shrank slightly.

Yu Chaosheng stared at the figure intently: "Wind Blade Song Wei."

Yu Chaosheng's whole body tensed up immediately. He had heard of the reputation of Song Wei, the "Wind Blade" of the Song family in Pinggu City, and naturally knew what kind of person Song Wei was.

The second son of the Song family is a fifth-rank inner strong realm warrior. He wields a sharp knife that is as fast as the wind and leaves no traces. He is nicknamed "Wind Knife".

Song Wei glanced at the corpse on the ground, then his eyes fell on Yu Chaosheng. He said calmly, "It's a very sharp sword technique. No blood is shed when the sword strikes, and it specifically hits the vital points. It's a pity that your sword isn't fast enough. Hand over the things, and I'll give you a decent treatment. If you don't want to be decent, I can still help you."

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that it was you who took action in the end. The Song family is really shameless. Song Wei, do you dare to fight me fairly? You are a despicable villain who only knows how to use poison." Yu Chaosheng said coldly.

"Upright? Naive. In this world, the victors are kings and the losers are bandits. If you die and I live, that's upright. Besides, do you really think you can block my sword in your prime?"

"But since you want to see my sword, then it's as you wish."

Song Wei finished speaking.

"Qiang!"

The knife is unsheathed.

Yu Chaosheng suddenly felt as if he were being pricked by needles all over his body, and a frantic warning signal was forming in his heart.

There was only a streak of white light left in front of my eyes, like dazzling sunlight in the darkness.

The knife was so fast that Yu Chaosheng couldn't see the knife shadow clearly, and it seemed that the blade had already cut into his skin.

Although Yu Chaosheng still held the sword in his hand, even swinging the sword seemed to be a luxury.

Although he was also a fifth-grade inner strength warrior, there were differences between inner strengths, not to mention that he was poisoned and seriously injured.

A streak of white light flashed by, accompanied by a slight sound. When the people around opened their eyes, Song Wei's long sword had already returned to its sheath.

Yu Chaosheng was still standing there, as if nothing had changed, but the next moment a red line appeared on his neck.

"What a fast knife."

Yu Chaosheng murmured softly.

laugh!
The red line expanded, and blood instantly gushed out from Yu Chaosheng's neck. His breath slowly dissipated, and his eyes gradually lost their luster.

Bang!
With a dull thud, Yu Chaosheng's body fell to the ground.

A warrior had already rushed up to search Yu Chaosheng, and soon he found a jade box on him.
