g Brother to hunt." He added another heavy磕頭,腦中閃過剛纔所見的一切,著實嚇了一跳。Qin Xiao saw that the two men were speaking sincerely, but one of them seemed evasive. He then asked, "So, have you seen anything Speak...Chapter Thirty-Two: Senior Brother扶桑 17K Original Release
"I'm currently being hunted by them."
"What!"
Just as Qi Lin was surprised, Bai Qianye suddenly pounced over and pulled her away from her original position. At the same time, an arrow flew in through a window and embedded itself where she had been standing. Qi Lin instinctively looked outside and saw several vampire bats flying into the room through that hole.
"Swoosh swoosh."
Bai Qianye quickly threw out several venomous needles, causing the few vampire bats that flew in to fall dead upon impact. They twitched a couple of times on the ground and then fell silent.
Just as Qi Lin wanted to ask what was happening, a dark figure broke through the window, scaring her into hugging Bai Qianye tightly.
The candlelight in the room went out due to a strong gust of wind. However, Qi Lin could still vaguely see five figures standing before them and more vampire bats flying in. Of course, she also saw the sword radiating murderous intent.
This was her first encounter with so-called assassins. Qi Lin tightly grabbed onto Bai Qianye's clothes; how would he stand a chance against so many people plus the vampire bats
"It looks like you're not planning to let me go," said Bai Qianye calmly while gathering energy in his palm.
Qi Lin could feel the killing intent emanating from all five individuals, but perhaps due to her being close to Bai Qianye, she felt that he was giving off an aura similar to Xiao Bai's hunting scent. Oddly enough, those vampire bats didn't dare approach them.
"Blame yourself for knowing too much." The leader of the black-clothed men moved his hand and said coldly as a flash of frosty light from his sword appeared: "Attack."
With the order given, all others charged forward with their swords. Bai Qianye led by attacking first; those who rushed over were sent flying several meters away before crashing into walls. Seeing this, the rest split up and attacked.
Holding Qi Lin around her waist, Bai Qianye kept dodging without getting injured a bit. Qi Lin also smelled an unpleasant odor and noticed that each time Bai Qianye used his hands, there would be some powder appearing; it seemed those were to drive away the vampire bats.
Eventually, Bai Qianye led Qi Lin to dodge aside and managed to break out of the circle formed by the black-clothed men. He positioned Qi Lin behind him and drew a fan from his waistband, quickly opening it as sharp blades appeared along its edges. To avoid harming Qi Lin, Bai Qianye leaped over and plunged into the midst of the black-clothed men.
Qi Lin found herself in a relatively safer spot and watched them exchanging blows; despite facing five opponents alone, Bai Qianye was gaining an upper hand, with his fan becoming a formidable weapon that injured three of them.
"Clang."
A long sword fell beside Qi Lin's feet, startling her to take two steps back. Its wielder seemed to realize Qi Lin's presence and abandoned the fight against Bai Qianye, leaping over tables toward Qi Lin.
Seeing this, Qi Lin turned and ran but tripped on something in the dark and fell onto the ground. Her palms burned with pain, yet she had no time for that as a black-clothed man was swinging his sword towards her.
"No." Instinctively closing her eyes, Qi Lin didn’t know if Bai Qianye would come to her aid or not at this moment.
"Ah ah Ah ah."
Hearing the black-clad man's agonizing screams, Qilin thought Bai Qianye had done something. However, when she opened her eyes, she saw several vampire bats attacking that black-clad man. Sharp claws continuously tore at his clothes while other vampire bats attacked the exposed flesh of the man. In no time, the black-clad man was brought down by the vampire bats.
Qilin and everyone else were so shocked by this scene that they forgot to react. Qilin took advantage of the moment to dodge around the black-clad man and try to escape. At that very instant, the black-clad man on the ground quickly grabbed Qilin’s foot and pulled hard.
"Thud."
"Ah."
Qilin fell to the ground with her ankle still being held by someone. Damn it! She kept kicking that black-clad man, but his strength was enormous. Even more strangely, those vampire bats bypassed Qilin and went straight for the black-clad man's hand.
"Clang."
A long sword struck the black-clad man’s hand, causing him to let go of Qilin’s foot. Seizing this opportunity, Qilin got up and staggered over to the window.
"Be careful."
Hearing Bai Qianye's voice, Qilin turned around on instinct only to see a sword blade glide past her cheek. She took an unconscious step back but found that she had already reached the very edge; there was nowhere for her to retreat.
"Oomph."
The black-clad man let out a muffled groan and fell to the ground as his pupils constricted. Qilin then felt a stinging pain on her face along with something warm and sticky sliding down.
Bai Qianye threw away the sword in his hand, walked over, wrapped his arms around Qilin’s waist, leaped out of the window and onto the street. Those vampire bats seemed to have found their target as they started charging towards them. Bai Qianye picked up a silk pouch and scattered its contents into the air; a cloud of powder spread out, causing the vampire bats’ actions to suddenly slow down. Seizing this opportunity, Bai Qianye carried Qilin over several houses in one leap and arrived at an empty alley.
"Did you kill them all" Still shaken up from the incident, Qilin was bewildered by the situation and could only ask a different question: "I mean... Are you injured"
Bai Qianye nodded. However, instead of relaxing, tension filled the air around them as Bai Qianye exuded a murderous aura that even Qilin could sense when she looked at her surroundings.
"Will you leave me behind" Although this wasn't the time to ask such a question, Qilin couldn’t help but wonder; after all, she had been abandoned by Bai Qianye before.
"No." Bai Qianye gently stroked Qilin’s long hair and smiled. "I will never leave you behind."
Qilin felt a warmth in her heart as she threw herself into Bai Qianye's embrace, hugging him tightly. That was enough for now; the quick footsteps around them and the figures gathering on rooftops were just noises in the background while Qilin clung to Bai Qianye.
"Those vampire bats targeted me but didn't attack me," whispered Qilin. "If I die, would I go back"
With that said, she tiptoed and planted a kiss on Bai Qianye’s lips before rushing off.
The men in black saw Qi Lin rush out and all drew their curved knives, pointing them at her as they advanced step by step.
Qi Lin closed her eyes and waited for the inevitable. She believed that her blood was enough to attract the vampire bats.
The men in black seemed completely unaware of the approaching vampire bats, which far outnumbered those from before.
If she died this time, would she go back
Going back meant returning to the 21st century.
"Huhu Before you kill me, can someone tell me who sent you" Qi Lin was sure that these men were not from the same group as those in her room. The shape of their weapons had given them away. "Did you bring the vampire bats here"
However, instead of answering her question, the men in black rushed towards her even faster. Qi Lin resignedly closed her eyes.
"Squeak squeak."
Hearing this sound, there must be hundreds of vampire bats. Qi Lin slightly raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Bai Qianye's side. Even though people were surrounding him too, he seemed completely unconcerned. But in the next second, all those around him fell to their knees and then collapsed on the ground, making Bai Qianye once again become the focus of all the men in black.
"Ah ah ah Ahh."
At this moment, the vampire bats began fiercely attacking the men in black. The latter seemed to have not reacted yet and now had no time to deal with Qi Lin anymore. But when they were busy dealing with the vampire bats, Bai Qianye took out his poisoned needles and shot them at full speed, causing many of the men in black to fall immediately. Only a few who were stronger managed to dodge.
Bai Qianye seized this opportunity to take out the sword he had been hiding behind him and leaped into the air.
Qi Lin only heard the sounds of swords clashing. Their speed was almost too fast for her eyes to follow, but now the vampire bats were attacking Bai Qianye's side. Qi Lin anxiously wondered how she could get those hateful vampire bats away from him and why they didn't just come after her blood.
When Qi Lin had this thought, she accidentally saw something on one of the men in black’s body. Driven by curiosity, she carefully lifted up his clothes to see a token. She took it off, lit a match, and looked at it closely. On it was written just one character: "Command," but around that character were dragons and phoenixes flying. This reminded her of Qin Xiao's token. In surprise, Qi Lin tried to find other things like this on these men, but found nothing.
Just as she was about to give up, a thought struck her, causing her to tear the man’s shirt open at his chest. She discovered that there was a bat tattoo on his left chest; Fei Changqing had mentioned it when he spoke of the barbarian tribes and even drawn it for her.
"Clang clang clang."
A few clear sounds of swords clashing came from behind, which made Qi Lin realize she was still there. Bai Qianye stood right behind her with arrows blocked by him on the ground. Only then did Qi Lin stand up and move to stand behind Bai Qianye.
"They are very likely people sent by the Emperor." Although reluctant to admit it, Qi Lin decided to tell Bai Qianye this fact.
Bai Qianye glanced at Qi Lin while also noticing her shadow. However, there were attacks coming from both front and back now. He pulled Qi Lin in front of him, leaped over the men blocking his way ahead, and shot some poisoned needles to them. On reaching the roof, he pushed Qi Lin quickly aside and swung his sword to block arrows that flew past him.
Immediately after, Bai Qianye dragged Qi Lin who had just steadied herself, flying to another rooftop. At this moment, Qi Lin realized that their enemies were not only these strange assassins but also someone lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to kill them like a sniper.
This covert figure is now their greatest enemy, as the black-clad individuals had mostly been dealt with by Bai Qianye.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh."
Three arrows—Bai Qianye pulled Qi Lin and leaped onto the ground simultaneously, swinging his sword to cut down the incoming arrow while pulling Qi Lin back continuously.
Qi Lin didn't even dare to breathe loudly; she knew that if Bai Qianye abandoned her, escaping would be easy. But Bai Qianye hadn't let go of her hand at all.
Suddenly, Qi Lin felt a powerful air current start to revolve around them, and the weapons of the surrounding black-clad individuals began to stir as well. Then, following that force, they gathered together and appeared before Bai Qianye.
Next, those swords and daggers shot out rapidly like arrows from a drawn bowstring. Following where the swords and daggers had gone, she saw them blocked by another set of weapons in no time, along with the sound of clashing blades. Then, a shadow appeared on a rooftop不遠處。
That was the person behind it all; Qi Lin was surprised to find that this figure resembled Daoist Priest Shen Tong.
"Senior Brother, how are you" Bai Qianye said nonchalantly.
"Junior Brother, after our last parting, a year has passed," the man replied coolly as he notched an arrow and aimed it at Bai Qianye. "I wonder if your swordsmanship has improved or been hindered by sentimental entanglements."
"Senior Brother, please forgive me for laughing." Bai Qianye stepped forward, leaving a sword mark on the ground.
Qi Lin gradually realized what was happening; Bai Qianye actually had an elder brother. No, his senior brother wanted to kill them! No, no, Qi Lin's mind was completely confused.
"Swoosh."
The arrow swiftly flew toward Bai Qianye. He raised the sword to block it and then spun the blade, sending the incoming arrow back in its original direction, only for another arrow to pierce through mid-air as they flew apart.
Bai Qianye pulled Qi Lin back to avoid the incoming arrow, knowing that his sword couldn't stop this one.
The man smiled contentedly and leaped down with a light step. His quiver was now empty, and he casually discarded his bow before advancing forward.
"Daoist Priest Shen Tong" Qi Lin exclaimed in surprise, then looked at Bai Qianye and said, "You call him senior brother"
“He’s my senior brother, Fu Sang.”
“It's an honor to meet you."
Inwardly, Qi Lin cursed. However, the killing intent surrounding them became even more intense.ceived everyone's care and can enjoy her current fame, but ultimately, it is still due to Sister Peony’s support. Here's a cup of tea for you, Sister." As Bu Yao spoke, she picked up the teacup respec...
