#21 - An unexpected car accident
"Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"
Jun Wuxie stared coldly at the middle-aged man.
"Who needs to give orders for murder and robbery?"
The middle-aged man said.
"Let me guess." A cold smile appeared on Jun Wuxie's face: "You have a bloodthirsty aura about you, but it doesn't really belong to a human. It must have accumulated from killing many fierce beasts."
The middle-aged man remained expressionless.
"You are bounty hunters from a mercenary group, from a city outside Qingyang City. Only people in Qingyang City know that I obtained the Great River Selection Order and Qi Gathering Pill, so you must be related to someone in Qingyang City."
The corner of the middle-aged man's eye twitched, and his expression changed.
This young man actually analyzed things so clearly in such a short time!
"Heh, the city you're from must be larger than Qingyang City to have someone like you in the Qi Condensation Realm. Besides the Hunter Guild, who in Qingyang City can afford to hire you?"
"You..." The middle-aged man's attitude changed, and he said in a deep voice: "If I tell you, will you promise not to kill me?"
"Speak, I won't kill you."
Jun Wuxie nodded.
"It's Yuan Ji, the manager of the Hunter Guild in Qingyang City. He promised our Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group a spot as a member of the Hunter Guild!"
Yuan Ji?
Jun Wuxie roughly guessed it was that middle-aged manager who targeted him in the Hunter Guild, and it really was him.
"I've told you everything, you promised not to kill me!"
The middle-aged man looked at Jun Wuxie hopefully.
But Jun Wuxie suddenly attacked, shattering his dantian with a single kick.
The middle-aged man screamed, his face twisted, and roared: "You went back on your word, damn you!"
Crack!
Before he could finish speaking, both his arms and legs were broken, and the middle-aged man let out a miserable scream.
"I always keep my word and would never use my body to kill you."
Jun Wuxie took his spirit bow, drove the carriage past, and crushed him amidst the middle-aged man's screams, turning his flesh and blood into a blur, his entire body crushed.
"You were crushed to death by a carriage."
Jun Wuxie said indifferently. In the twilight, the carriage disappeared at the end of the official road.
He felt a little regret in his heart that Yuan Ji didn't come in person.
Although Yuan Ji was only the manager of the Hunter Guild in Qingyang City, due to the special nature of the Hunter Guild, with his position, he could hire quite a few experts, and might even issue a hidden mission to put a bounty on him.
"Wuxie gege~"
The carriage door opened, the curtain lifted, and Xiao Yueyao poked her head out.
"Yueyao, did I wake you up just now?"
Her little face was slightly red, and she said: "Yueyao is a little hungry and can't sleep."
"Gege will find a place to settle down and get you something to eat." Jun Wuxie let the horse run along the official road on its own, turned around and pulled Yueyao into the carriage, and said: "It's cold outside, don't catch a cold, come and cover yourself with the quilt."
……
At this moment, the place where Jun Wuxie fought.
Yuan Ji looked at the corpses all over the ground, his face as gloomy as water.
"A bunch of trash, didn't you say that with the spirit bow in hand, there was no chance of failure?" His eyes were cold as he looked into the distance and muttered to himself: "It seems I can only make plans when I get to Fengtian City. Jun Wuxie, in Qingyang City, you have Miss protecting you, but when you get to Fengtian City, who else will protect you?"
At the same time, in a certain section of the mountain forest on both sides of this official road, two figures were talking in low voices.
"Elder Qi is too cautious. Even if Jun Wuxie is capable, he is only a martial artist who has just entered the Xiantian Realm. Once I take action, I will kill him with one move!"
"Fifth Elder, do not underestimate the person that Ji Yinlan values. This person cultivates both swordsmanship and body, and must have had some fortuitous encounters. It is hard to say that he does not have some unexpected methods. The success or failure of this mission is related to whether I can get the opportunity to join the Great River Sword Sect, so there is no room for error."
"What Miss said is also reasonable, I will listen to you."
……
In a dilapidated temple, Jun Wuxie lit a bonfire and roasted two wild chickens, the aroma of meat filling the air.
Xiao Yueyao was wrapped in a velvet blanket, curled up beside him, her body trembling slightly.
"Are you cold?"
Jun Wuxie hugged her in his arms and found that her body was very cold, so cold that even wrapped in a velvet blanket, a trace of cold air still escaped.
"Yueyao is fine."
She shook her head and gave him a sweet smile.
"Come, eat something, and then get a good night's sleep."
Jun Wuxie tore the roasted chicken into small pieces and fed it to her mouth.
Looking at her pale little face, he felt both sad and anxious.
Yueyao's physical condition was changing too quickly, but there were still nineteen days before the Great River Sword Sect's disciple assessment. At least nineteen days later would it be possible to ask the Great River Sword Sect's physician to treat her.
"Is it delicious?"
"Delicious, much better than wild vegetable paste."
Jun Wuxie's heart ached and his eyes turned red.
Wild vegetable paste!
For half a year, the Xiao family had almost cut off their food supply, giving them only one steamed bun a day. He had always thought it was two.
Yueyao gave him that one steamed bun to eat, and she herself relied on digging wild vegetables to fill her stomach when she went out to collect medicine every day?
She was so young, but she had always been by his side, never leaving him, no matter how difficult and hard life was.
She was taking care of him with her life.
He owed her so much...
"Wuxie gege, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing his eyes moist, tears also welled up in Xiao Yueyao's eyes.
With a clang.
The door of the dilapidated temple was suddenly knocked open, and a woman covered in blood, with a pale face, rushed in.
As soon as she saw Jun Wuxie, the woman's desperate eyes instantly showed a glimmer of light.
"Gongzi, save me, save me, someone wants to kill me!"
The woman staggered to Jun Wuxie, saw the wild chicken on the bonfire, and swallowed her saliva.
Xiao Yueyao was a little scared and shrank into Jun Wuxie's arms.
Jun Wuxie frowned slightly and handed the woman a roasted chicken.
The woman didn't even thank him, hugged the chicken and devoured it, eating and crying in panic: "Gongzi, save me, someone wants to kill me, he will catch up here soon!"
Jun Wuxie didn't respond, just looked at her calmly.
This woman who suddenly broke in was probably in her early twenties. Although her face was pale, it couldn't hide her delicate beauty, and her figure was plump and hot, very womanly.
"Gongzi, please, have mercy!"
The woman begged, her eyes misty with tears, looking pitiful.
"Keep running, where can you run in front of this old man?"
A cold, slightly teasing voice came from outside. Almost at the same time, an old man came to the courtyard and stepped into the dilapidated temple.
Seeing Jun Wuxie, the old man was slightly startled, then showed a disdainful expression, and his gaze turned to the woman in front of the bonfire who was losing her color.
"Gongzi, save me!"
The woman hid behind Jun Wuxie in panic.
"I'm just passing by, your grievances have nothing to do with me."
Jun Wuxie said indifferently, ignoring them, and prepared to leave with Yueyao.
"Want to leave? Now that you've stumbled upon this, this old man has no choice but to kill you to silence you."
As the old man spoke, he directly attacked Jun Wuxie, blasting over with a palm.
The strong true qi wrapped in a strong wind instantly extinguished the bonfire, and even before it reached him, Jun Wuxie felt a strong sense of oppression.
Late stage of the Qi Condensation Realm!
His heart sank.
The strength of this realm was only two small realms lower than that of Elder Qi.
He was only at the first transformation of the Xiantian Realm, and the gap between the two realms was too great!
Dragon Tiger Strength!
Jun Wuxie gathered the blood qi of his whole body, evolved his fist intent to the extreme, pushed Yueyao away, and at the same time, his figure burst up and met the attack with a punch.
With a boom.
He felt like he had slammed into a crushing iron wall.
The blood qi tiger condensed by the Dragon Tiger Strength instantly collapsed, and a huge force struck, causing his feet to slide backwards along the ground for six or seven meters, his blood churning in his body, and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat.
