Two arrows carrying the power of thunder were shot out quickly and landed on the heads of the two guards. Before the two men could react from the suffocating feeling of almost dying, their bodies were bound and paralyzed by the subsequent Tengu Curse Thunder.
Xie Yan took advantage of this opportunity to fly out. He tapped his toes lightly and came to the side of the two people who had just passed by like a ghost. One man and one sword made them lose their resistance, and they didn't even have time to use their evil eyes.
There was a strong wind blowing behind him, which was the whistling sound of a crossbow arrow cutting through the air. However, Xie Yan seemed to have eyes on his back. He slightly turned his body and slashed forward, splitting the crossbow arrow in half immediately.
At this time, Kujo Sara locked onto the crossbowman through the trajectory of the crossbow arrow and shot arrows again to control the enemy.
"There is one more." Xie Yan pulled the last person out of the camp.
Although they didn't say a word during the process, the two of them cooperated very well.
When these people were tied up with ropes for interrogation, Xie Yan couldn't help but look at them strangely. There were six people in these five tents, and the relationship between them... seemed a bit complicated?
He was afraid that when he was tying up these people, someone would suddenly turn around and give him a "gay smile", which would be too annoying. Fortunately, he had a reputation as a cold-faced evildoer, so even gays didn't dare to act rashly when they saw him.
Kujo Sara asked coldly, "I am Kujo Sara of the Tenryo Bugyo, and this is Xie Yan. Tell me the truth, who is the adult you are talking about? Then I will take you back to Mingjin Island for trial."
After the voice fell, the six people looked at each other but no one spoke.
Kujo Sara frowned slightly and was about to continue speaking when he was stopped by Xie Yan.
The Nobushi are also divided into different regions. For example, although the ronin in Narukami Island have some problems, few of them are involved in murders. Apart from them, it can be said that none of the Nobushi are clean. Returning to Narukami Island is the same as death for them. The threat from Kujo Sara is of no use to them.
"I know you have at least five or six lives on your hands. To be honest, if I had come here alone, you would have been dead just now." Xie Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at them coldly, "But if we return to Ming Shen Island for trial, we can at least live a little longer, right?"
When they were looked at like this by him, the people in hiding felt the murderous aura condensed into substance, their hearts were tightly gripped, and their bodies could not help but tremble.
None of them were good people. They had seen many murderers, but those people enjoyed killing. They had never seen anyone like Xie Yan, whose expression did not change from beginning to end, and who talked about killing as if he was talking about cutting vegetables.
No wonder some people are already secretly telling him to stop crying for death.
"Why don't you tell me? That person should be a member of the Fatui instead of your companion, right? Wouldn't it be more advantageous for you to tell us the information and let us fight each other? Do you really have to let me torture you before you tell me?" He shook the evil eye that he had searched out from those people in his hand and laughed strangely.
Hearing that he was an elder of the Soul Palace finally broke through these people's psychological defenses.
The leader gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you're right. Anyway, that guy just wants to use us and let you fight each other. I'll feel lucky if anyone dies! Listen carefully, that man is called Sanbing. He claims to be the sixth executive officer of the Fatui. He is in the southwest of the Snake Bone Mine Cave on Bayun Island. Many of the Yefu have accepted his evil eye... There are also those who don't, but he killed them all."
Xie Yan thought to himself that it was just as he expected. He was just about to explain to Kujo Sara, but to his surprise, the other party also had a serious look on his face. It was obvious that he knew that the scattered soldiers were very troublesome.
This is not surprising. The "Imperial Sword" incident caused a big stir back then, and Sanbing had been in Takanashi before. Although the Kujo family did not know Sanbing's true identity, they could judge that the other party had extraordinary combat power.
So what to do next?
Kujo Sara acted faster than Xie Yan. She directly knocked these people out with the lightning element. Even if they woke up, they would be unable to move due to the erosion of the lightning element.
Oh no, I forgot to tell them my nickname is Jingshen Sword.
"Once we catch the Kanjo Bugyo trading with the Fatui, I will send people to bring these people back to Narukami Island." Kujo Sara said in a deep voice.
It's not that she is soft-hearted, she just thinks these people should be judged by the law.
As for why she didn't bring anyone else on this mission, she had actually subconsciously sensed that there was something wrong with Tianling Fengxing, so after asking for the news, she didn't tell anyone except Xie Yan.
"Sara, we should be more careful with our plan. This soldier is not an easy person to deal with. Even if his strength is not as good as Yae Gongsi, it will not be much worse." Xie Yan hesitated for a moment and decided to persuade, "I always feel that Shinsuke will not be unaware of it. Even if the benefits are too great for him to give up, he should consider the transaction time."
In short, this deal could very well turn out to be a trap.
31 No insider, continue trading?
Before going out, Xie Yan had a premonition that this operation would not go smoothly, and he was prepared to make a wasted trip, so he asked Xiaolu to investigate the evidence.
Of course, it would be even better if both sides could go smoothly and both literature and sports could flourish.
But now it seems that since Sanbing has been interfering in the situation in Inazuma, he might pay attention to the transaction with Shinsuke, and Xie Yan and Kujo Sara might be lured.
Kujo Sara was also a little hesitant. She knew how powerful this "Qiongqi" was, but when she thought about the General who would come to Tianling Bugyo for an inspection the day after tomorrow, if she went back without even taking a look, how could she dare to say that she had been loyal to the General?
"I think we should wait and see. The scattered soldiers probably don't know that we will act alone. If the situation gets bad, we can retreat." Kujo Sara finally made a decision.
She didn't expect to catch him in the act, mainly because she had never mobilized any of the Tenryo Bugyo's men and thought Shinsuke wouldn't be able to know about the information leak.
She would be unwilling to leave without even seeing the person... Besides, Shinsuke couldn't guarantee that she would come to the scene. Could he order the Fatui executive around in this situation?
"Okay, let's see first."
Although Xie Yan was still a little worried, he thought that the scattered soldiers were in the southwest corner of Bayun Island. It would take half a day for them to get here even with Lei Ji. Shen Jie really didn't have the face to command him to take action.
The two men returned along the same route and returned to the previous ambush site.
After what happened just now, the two were now much more vigilant. They checked the surroundings before the time was up, but even Kujo Sara found no signs of an ambush.
Xie Yan still didn't relax, but the facts were beyond his expectations. About half an hour before the transaction time, from where the two were, they could see a group of samurai wearing standard armor of the Kanjo Bugyo rowing towards them from afar.
As they got closer, Xie Yan saw that there were many wooden boxes piled on their boat, and it seemed that they were really here to trade.
"Really coming?" Xie Yan was a little surprised.
At this point, there is no way to fake it. Once they are caught in the act, even an old fox like Shinsuke will not be able to find an excuse.
But...will it really be so smooth?
Xie Yan and Kujo Sara did not act rashly. They just secretly observed through the woods. They saw the warriors unloading the goods skillfully, and then they formed several neat teams and headed towards the agreed location.
The dull sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground were heard one after another, and soon there were more than forty boxes of goods piled up here.
"Such a strong aura of the evil spirit, it is indeed crystallized bone marrow." Xie Yan frowned slightly.
Even though he didn't have elemental vision, he could vaguely feel the negative energy dissipating in the air.
The amulet he was holding in his arms also trembled just now, and he found that its durability dropped from 97 to 95.
"So much crystallized bone marrow...it seems they have been piling it up for a long time. No wonder they are in a hurry to sell it now." Kujo Sara's face was cold. There were not enough crystallized bone marrow before the Yuying furnace stopped working. It turned out that it was sold to the Fatui by Kanjo Bugyo.
And judging from the skilled movements of these warriors, the transaction between Jia and the Fatui has been going on for a long time.
The two continued to wait for a while, and ten minutes later, a team of more than a dozen Fatui advance soldiers pushed the transport trucks slowly down the hillside.
They looked around vigilantly, and only continued their action after making sure that there was no one else around, and finally came to the samurai who was in charge of the Kanjo Bugyo.
The leader, Brother Lei Chui, talked with the warrior who was also in charge. While talking, they walked towards the crystallized bone marrow for inspection.
Xie Yan took photos of all these people.
Things have come to this point. Although it is a bit outrageous, this operation was indeed very smooth. As long as we can catch the person red-handed, we can have fun with Xiaolu when we return.
In fact, he wanted to leave right now, but unfortunately, even in the continent of Teyvat, photos could be photoshopped, and without other supporting evidence, it was difficult to directly convict a minister.
"Just like before, a quick battle and a quick decision." Kujo Sara whispered, "It should be no problem. I know the leader. He is Sasaki, the head of Kanjo Bugyo, and Shinsuke's confidant."
As soon as she finished speaking, she bent her bow and drew her arrows. This time she used three arrows.
"Yu Yi!"
The longbow was drawn to its full extent, and the arrow turned into lightning and shot out, instantly locking onto several enemies at the edge and heading towards their vital points.
This time Kujo Sara did not hold back. The advance troops of the Fatui and the samurai of the Kanjo Bugyo were all well-equipped and experienced in combat. They were completely not on the same level as the Nobushi.
One of the three people standing sentry at the edge was hit in the heart by an arrow carrying the lightning element, which pierced through his armor. The other two reacted slightly faster and were only injured in the shoulders.
"Enemy attack!"
Before he could finish his words, the Tengu curse thunder came down with a loud bang. The lightning flashed and the enemies that were hit were instantly silent.
But by this time everyone else had also reacted, and the Fatui advance troops and the Kanjo Bugyo warriors quickly formed their own formations.
"Glorious Thousand Dao Suppression Style!"
Kujo Sara stretched out his hand, and the Eye of God on his waist burst into a dazzling light. The Tengu Curse Thunder and Vajra Rui were activated, and a thundercloud with a range of more than ten meters condensed out of thin air above the heads of the Fatui advance army. Along with the sound of thunder, purple lightning that meandered like a snake struck down, seriously injuring several people on the spot.
"It's Kujo Sara! Retreat!"
"Oh no, the cold-faced evil ghost is here too!"
Sasaki, the leader of the Kanjo Bugyo, reacted the fastest. Without saying a word, he retreated with a few trusted men and soon took advantage of the chaos to run nearly a hundred meters away.
He knew very well that even though he had a lot of people on his side, they were still not enough for Xie Yan to chop him down alone. He should take advantage of the fact that his teammates could block the attack and he still had a chance to run... Oh, no, this is called keeping someone alive until he is useful.
Unfortunately, Xie Yan would not give him this opportunity.
The sword slashed down diagonally, killing the Fatui in front of him, and then he leaped lightly into the air before being hit by the thunder hammer.
"Trace, on!"
While twisting and turning in mid-air, the sword in his hand transformed into the familiar three-star bow "slingshot", shooting out arrows containing magical power.
Even though Sasaki's swordsmanship was good, he still couldn't keep up with the arrow and could only barely avoid his heart.
The dull sound of the arrow piercing flesh was heard, and Sasaki fell to the ground with a groan. The trusted soldiers around him turned around and ran without hesitation, executing his previous "retreat and escape" tactics.
"Damn it!" he shouted, but his excessive excitement made the wound bigger and another wave of pain came.
The massive loss of blood made him clearly feel that his life was slipping away, but before he fell into coma, there was only one thought in his mind: Damn, isn't this cold-faced evil ghost a good swordsman?
At this time, Xie Yan successfully landed behind Lei Chui, and the Tenmoku Kage Katana appeared in his hand again. He quickly drew his sword and destroyed his equipment, capturing him alive as a witness.
After he became more careful, his martial arts gradually became more integrated, and he could deal with the situation calmly no matter what the battle situation was.
As for Sasaki's reluctance, don't be mean. It's normal that archers are better with swords, right?
However, when Xie Yan thought the situation was settled and was about to cast his bow and arrow again to capture the few people who had fled to the edge of the battlefield, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the sky. It was a purple lightning that almost completely split the sky.
32 Shinsuke's Cruelty
The lightning was accompanied by a roar that was extremely terrifying.
A strong sense of crisis quickly filled his heart. He didn't even have time to recite the spell silently. He could only barely summon three shields to block himself and Kujo Sara.
The layers of petal shields shattered in an instant, and the accompanying shock wave knocked the two people far away and crashed heavily into the distant mountain wall. At the place where the lightning had just struck, both the samurai of the Kanjo Bugyo and the soldiers of the Fatui had turned into charcoal, and there was a huge bottomless pit with a radius of dozens of meters on the ground.
This lightning strike was without any scruples from beginning to end, even though his subordinates under Inazuma were among them.
"This old man Shinsuke is really cruel. He sent his trusted aides out as a pawn. Fortunately, you took the bait and I didn't make this trip in vain."
A gloomy young man wearing a bamboo hat walked out from the shadows.
The sixth Fatui executive officer, Skirmisher, appears.
He walked towards the pit caused by the lightning strike with an expressionless face. There, in addition to the corpse that had turned to charcoal, there was also crystallized bone marrow scattered all over the ground.
He bent down slightly and picked up a piece of crystallized bone marrow. The purple chip glowed with a dangerous yet charming halo under the refraction of the sunlight. Even though he had seen it countless times and witnessed it being made into an evil eye with his own eyes, Sanbing was still a little concerned.
He murmured to himself with a slightly crazy look on his face: "After thousands of years, the power of God cannot be erased? Even if I use all my strength, it is difficult to destroy it. Sure enough, the power of God is the real eternal thing..."
Even though Orobas was dead, Sanbing could still feel the remaining will, which made him yearn to reach the realm of gods even more.
As for Xie Yan and Kujo Sara, in his eyes, there was no way they could survive. He had used all his strength, so he didn't even bother to even look at them.
What interested Sanbing more at this moment was Shinsuke, the guy who usually looked timid. He always thought that the other party was cowardly and incompetent. He was always servile in front of ladies and did not show the demeanor of a Kanjo Bugyo at all.
But when Lady Cangjing and her companions were arrested and undercurrents were surging in Inazuma Castle, Shinsuke actually showed his fangs and took the initiative to find him and ask for his help. He gave him all the crystallized bone marrow from the transaction and promised to seek his opinion on all future documents submitted to the general.
Sanbing had no interest in helping the Fatui save money, but if he could continue to influence General Raiden through the Kanjo Bugyo on his own, it would be of great help to him in seizing the Heart of God and escaping later, so he agreed to Shinsuke's request.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with this deal, it was just a matter of mutual benefit. The main thing was that Shinsuke also said that if Xie Yan and Kujo Sara did not come to the scene, the deal would still be valid. This kind of desperate courage and ruthlessness moved Sanbing very much.
As expected, how could a timid person hold the position of Kanto Bugyo securely? Although Shinsuke should have thought that even if the plan failed, the worst result would be to completely surrender to the Fatui and use the power of the Fatui to check and balance the Tenryo Bugyo.
"Humph, the struggle of humans before death is really interesting. Cunning, greedy, selfish, hypocritical, Shinsuke, you succeeded in pleasing me." Sanbing was about to lament the insignificance of humans as usual, but suddenly his face changed: "Huh? Not dead?"
Only then did the scattered soldiers realize that Xie Yan and Kujo Sara's life breath was still there.
"Interesting...then play with me for a while."
He raised his finger, and purple lightning appeared at his fingertips, and the next second it turned into a purple beam of light that shot out.
Amid a loud bang, more than a dozen trees along the way were directly swept into the air, torn and melted by the heat contained in the lightning. Then the remaining force of the light column penetrated the thick mountain.
Xie Yan and Kujo Sara rolled to the side and narrowly avoided the attack.
Although both of them were in good physical condition, they had both suffered serious injuries before. Kujo Sara's back was covered in blood and flesh, and she had no idea how many ribs were broken after hitting the mountain wall. Even she could not ignore the pain in her body at this moment.
Xie Yan's thick skin and flesh made him a little better, but his wounds would eventually affect the battle. He really didn't expect that the scattered soldiers would start fighting as soon as they met.
"This guy... is really troublesome."
Sanbing is a puppet created by God, and his power was unlocked by the Doctor. Although his strength is far inferior to that of General Thunder, he is much stronger than the lady and should be similar to the immortals in Liyue. The lightning strike just now also proved his strength.
"Sha Luo, your wings are not injured, right? You leave first, and then go directly to Yingxiang Mountain to find the Eightfold Son of God." Xie Yan said quickly.
Without thinking twice, Kujo Sara immediately refused: "No, you will definitely die if you stay alone."
At this moment, another bolt of lightning shot out, and the scattered soldier seemed to suddenly want to play a cat-and-mouse game, so he deliberately weakened his output.
Xie Yan pulled Jiu Tiao Sha Luo to avoid the attack. He pushed the other party away and said, "You still have time to leave now. I will hold him back for a while and then find a way to leave."
He believed that he could still fight back against the scattered soldiers, and with his extraordinary agility he might be able to escape, but Kujo Sara would definitely die if he continued to stay.
Kujo Sara gritted her teeth. Although she was unwilling to become a burden, she was not the kind of mentally retarded teammate who could not understand the situation. After she came to her senses, she looked at Xie Yan deeply, then spread her wings and flew into the air. With the help of the lightning above, she quickly shuttled through and avoided the next lightning strike from the scattered soldiers.
