Long Sorrow Song - C74

There was a small path that wound all the way to the end of it. Ye Wen Han turned onto the path, which was covered in dust. It was obvious that some horses had just passed through, so Chu Li and Li Zhi Xiang didn’t ride any horses.

This road led to the Kongtong Sect. Kongtong had been sent to Gongsun Chun Qiu. It would take two days to walk, and it would take more than one day to use the Qing Gong during that time. Ye Jianhan suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why did Chu Li and Li Zhixiang need to walk at such a distance? Could it be that the two of them were really in the vicinity yesterday? Or could it be that the two of them were the murderers of Wang Fu and Ghost Valley? Ye Wen Han didn’t understand.

Ye Jianhan quickened his pace and turned three corners. The small road suddenly widened, and the dirt road became a stone road. Under the sunlight, the stone road was littered with corpses. Blood was flowing through the dirt, and the smell of blood was mixed with the smell of earth. It was an unspeakably strange feeling.

Ye Mo Han was still too late. Chu Li’s saddle and Li Zhi Xiang’s bodies both had quite a few wounds, at least twenty of them were sword wounds. Obviously, the two of them had been in a fierce battle with each other.

Clearly, the opponent had high martial arts skills and high sword arts. Ye Chonglou knew that only the sword art of Liang Rufeng could reach such a level. Liang Rufeng also had enough time to kill the two of them, and also had enough reasons. Of course, the reason was because the two of them had killed the Ghost Valley Child and Wang Fu. However, if the people who killed Wang Fu and Ghost Valley Zi were really Chu Li and Li Zhixiang, then the Hornbeam Lamp would fall into the hands of Liangrou. Had the good wind left in the night just to seize the Horned Lamp? At this moment, Ye Mo Han’s thoughts were in a mess. He felt like he had entered a maze. He had just found an exit, and in the blink of an eye, it had become a dead end.

Ye Jianhan suddenly raised his head and saw that in front of the corpse, there were several red marks the size of a palm. They were left behind by the horse hooves stained with the blood of the saddle and Li Zhixiang. However, the horse’s hooves had already been wrapped by something, so there were no footprints left on the dirt road. It seemed like the killer had prepared everything beforehand, as if he had expected Ye Mo Han to come over. Ye Mo Han rushed to catch up with him. Although they had been dead for a while, Ye Mo Han was going to run with a horse in Marseille in less than two hours. Just thinking about it was an incredible thing, but he really did it.

Ye Mo Han, who had used all of his strength, was much faster than before. In the time it took to boil a cup of tea, he had already traveled seven miles. He had already reached the end of the stone road, which connected with another stone road. Turning around, he saw a simple inn, and beside the inn, there was a horse tied to the door. Its hooves were not wrapped, but blood could still be vaguely seen on its fur.

No matter how simple and crude an inn was, there should at least be a manager. However, the counter was empty, and there was only one person in the inn. A guest dressed in green was sitting with his back facing the door. There was a sword on his table, and it was already hidden, but how could a person hide his edge?

Ye Mo Han sat across from the blue-robed man. There was only a large plate of cooked beef on the table, so the blue-robed man directly grabbed it and ate it. There was no wine on the table, not even a bowl of water.

“You don’t drink?” Ye Mo Han clearly saw this person’s face, purple face without any beard, the bones of his hands that grabbed the beef protruded, and the veins in his hands were exposed.

“You ran so far in one breath, you should be hungry.” He was indeed waiting for Ye Mo Han, so this person should be the killer of Chu Li and Li Zhi Xiang.

His meaning was naturally to let Ye Mo Han eat as well. Ye Mo Han was also not polite, so he grabbed a piece of beef with his hand and started to eat. The two of them did not say anything else until they finished the platter of beef on the table.

“Don’t you want to know why I’m here alone?” The green-gowned person casually wiped his mouth and asked Ye Mo Han.

Ye Wen Han stretched and said, “He should have been killed by you.”

The green-robed man nodded, “The shopkeeper and waiter are too noisy. Their corpses are right behind the counter.”

A man who is going to kill for being noisy must have a very violent temper. However, Ye Mo Han felt that the man in front of him was abnormally calm.

“You killed four people today?” Ye Wen asked coldly.

The blue-robed man nodded again. Then, he took something from his waist and placed it on the table. It was wrapped in a black cloth and looked like a square box.

“This is the Hornbeam.” The green-robed man’s words were tantamount to replying to Ye Mo Han, which meant that Chu Li, saddle and Li Zhi Xiang had indeed killed Wang Fu and Ghost Valley Zi.

Ye Mo Han looked at the black cloth wrapped around the Hornless Lamp, his heart mixed with mixed feelings. This set of martial arts had caused so much harm to so many people. If they were kept alive, it would only lead to more slaughter, and they might as well just destroy it.

“If you can kill me, the Hornbeam is yours.” The blue-clothed man said in all seriousness. His words were neither arrogant nor impetuous, but they caused one to feel a chill in one’s heart.

“I just want to know who sent you.”

Of course it’s the Jade Pavilion.” At this moment, a hint of a smile appeared on the purple-faced man in blue clothes. If I were to die in your hands today, I would advise you that you really can’t offend this Emerald Jade Pavilion. “Against him, you are a moth in a fire, a mantis in a car.

“You are not from the Jade Pavilion.” Ye Mo Han shook his head and said.

The sword suddenly came out of its scabbard and sliced horizontally. Ye Mo Han raised his head and dodged. He slapped his palm on the table, and his body borrowed the force to swim ten feet away.

The green-robed person’s wrist lightly trembled, rolling towards Ye Mo Han like a snake. Ye Mo Han saw that there were dozens of benches in the room, so he kicked one by one, sending all the benches beside him flying towards the green-robed person. The green-robed person’s sword was indeed very fast, so fast that it formed a barrier. Even if it was a fly, it would not be able to fly into the barrier that he created with his sword. Flies could not fly in, let alone benches, so the inn was soon full of sawdust.

When the last bench was kicked, Ye Mo Han also followed with his palms. One move was enough to topple mountains and overturn seas. Waves of air surged out, causing the house to shake, as if it was about to collapse from the overwhelming energy. The green-robed man’s long sword hacked horizontally. The attack he sent out instantly transformed into a sword beam that was ten feet long, slashing into the waves of air. With a loud bang, the wood shavings that were about to land flew into the air once again. With this shock, the simple and crude house shook even more violently, as if it was about to collapse soon. The sword in the green-robed person’s hand pierced towards Ye Mo Han. He struck out with his left palm from the right, intending to trap Ye Mo Han within it. The sword had arrived in the blink of an eye, and Ye Wen launched several powerful attacks to the right. The green-gowned person only felt a huge force counterattack from his left, and immediately drew back his sword, dodging Ye Mo Han’s attacks. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was fast, Ye Mo Han’s palms would have cut his left arm off.

When the green-robed person sensed that Ye Chanhan’s internal energy was higher than his, he did not dare to compete with him in internal energy. Instead, he made the sword in his hand move faster, more ruthlessly, and more viciously. The sword Qi and the Qi waves created by Ye Wen’s attack clashed, and countless wood shavings flew around the two of them, wrapping around them.

The sword of the blue-robed man became denser and denser, one to ten, one to a hundred. The sword beams intertwined, and the power of the attacks was overwhelming. Ye Mo Han didn’t dare to directly counter it, he could only dissolve the sword Qi attack with his palms and fists. The two of them had exchanged more than a thousand moves. In terms of inner force, Ye Mo Han had the upper hand, but the green-robed man’s swordsmanship was exceptional, and he had the advantage in dealing with the bare-handed Ye Mo Han.

The sun began to set. There was a lonely inn by the side of the road. It seemed as if a storm was brewing. Invisible waves of air and sword light came out in layers, adding to the already shabby house. It was like a dying camel, waiting to crush its last straw. As more and more sword lights appeared, they became more and more abundant. Ye Mo Han’s Qi was also steadily increasing. The Qi waves were getting thicker and thicker, pressing against the sword Qi. The tables in the room had already been broken, followed by the inn’s counter and wine jar. The sound of something shattering could be heard, but how could Ye Mo Han and the green-robed person hear it?

The man in green suddenly bent down and flipped his sword. The sword qi that was wrapped in sword light shot towards Ye Mo Han’s chest at an extremely fast speed. Ye Mo Han turned his palm into a fist, slightly bent his legs forward, and faced the attack from the side with the ‘Twin Dragon Goes to Sea’. Initially, Dual Dragon Goes to Sea was the same as toppling the mountains and overturning the seas. It was the simplest and most basic of techniques, but the power of the user varied greatly. At this time, Ye Mo Han’s internal energy was no longer inferior to the top masters in the martial arts world, so he used this move. A vigorous energy surged up from his dantian and flowed out from his hands.

With a boom, the earth shook and the mountains shook. The last straw that overcame the inn finally fell down. The four walls collapsed and the roof directly fell down. Dust and debris flew everywhere. The horse that was tied to the door ran away in fright from the collapse of the house. It was the only living thing that had witnessed this fight, but it had no mouth, otherwise it could boast that it had witnessed an amazing fight in which one could put one’s life on the line.

In the center of the collapsed building, two figures suddenly flew out. The sun was about to set and the night was about to arrive. If someone was here and had a slightly better eyesight, they would see that one of the people suddenly had something fly out of his body and insert it into the unprepared other person.

The sword in the green-robed person’s hand was buried under the rubble, and there was something in his chest. It was a green bamboo that was about a foot long and as thick as a thumb. The blue-clothed person looked at the green bamboo with disbelief. He had not expected this bamboo to be so fast. He was so fast that he couldn’t even defend himself.

With a ‘bang’, the green-robed man’s corpse fell onto the ground. Ye Mo Han’s body was soon drenched in sweat. Fighting was a very exhausting affair, especially with his opponent who was on par with him. Not only did he have to fight with force, he also had to fight with intelligence and reaction speed. During the fight, he couldn’t relax his vigilance even a bit. Two days had passed since noon, and it was already dark. It was strange that Ye Wen was still not tired.
