Misty Rain of the Old Times

Chapter 149 Tacit understanding
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the camp was attracted, and all eyes immediately turned in the direction of Chen Xuan.

Under the bright moonlight, he stood on the treetop like a light bird, wearing a black cloak and unable to see his face or clothes. It was even difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman. He was extraordinary and mysterious.

Except for Gao Jingming, everyone else was poisoned by the bone-softening powder and was unable to move. Everyone was anxious watching the situation.

Geng Hong's heart sank and he felt completely desperate. Just now someone came seeking revenge, and he knocked them down in just two words. It was almost a situation where he was waiting to die. Now suddenly another one came. Is he going to die here today?
We are just accompanying the young master to study. What have we done to deserve this? We are in trouble one after another. We haven't even arrived at the academy yet, why is it as difficult as going to heaven?

If it really doesn't work, he is planning to use Gao Jingming's identity as Prince Qing's brother-in-law, perhaps to intimidate him and have a chance to survive, but that is a last resort, because once he uses such an identity, there will be no room for turning back.

Looking at the mysterious figure on the treetop, Geng Hong felt that the scene was inexplicably familiar, but he didn't have time to think about it at the moment. The key was how to survive this crisis.

"We are unable to move now. Young Master is practicing martial arts and is not afraid of the so-called bone-softening powder for the time being. However, that foreigner's methods are insidious and despicable. Young Master has considerable strength but too little experience. It is difficult for him to protect himself. If all else fails, it seems that we can only use our trump card to buy Young Master a chance to escape. As long as Young Master can survive, even if he dies here, it will be considered as repaying the kindness of the master family for so many years."

Geng Hong has already made plans for the worst, either revealing his identity to intimidate others or using his trump card to give Gao Jingming a chance to survive.

After leaving Gao's house, these guards had more or less prepared some means to protect their lives. Otherwise, how could they have left Gao Jingming in the care of the four of them and set off?

Of course, they also knew that Young Master Gao Jingming had more life-saving methods, but he was still a child, how much experience could he have? Without giving it too much thought, they still had to rely on them, that's what adults usually thought.

The old man in black robe looked at Chen Xuan instantly, and frowned when he saw his outstanding lightness skills.

The death of his little baby was as painful as if he had been killed. He was so furious that he would never leave just because someone suddenly appeared.

However, Chen Xuan's lightness skill made him somewhat apprehensive, but only slightly, so he said sinisterly, "Where did you come from, you rat? You're hiding your head but showing your tail. Grandpa's in a bad mood now, so get out of here, or I'll kill you too!"

Of course, he didn't want to let go of anyone he saw, but he still knew what was important and what was not. He would scare away this guy of unknown origin first, and then deal with him after he had dealt with the enemy who killed his little baby.

He is still very confident in his own strength. He is not inferior to others and has many tricks that people cannot guard against. As long as they are not innate masters, he is confident that he can deal with them. At most, it will be a little troublesome.

"Senior, please help me. This man is indeed a vicious villain. He raised a giant python that was causing trouble and eating people in the Misty Mountain. We were lucky enough to get rid of it, but instead of being grateful to us for atonement and accumulating merit for him, he came here to kill us. Please help me get rid of this evil man!" Zhao Qingluan looked in the direction of Chen Xuan with her eyes lighting up, as if she saw a savior. She had already reacted and immediately recounted the evil deeds of the old man in black robe, hoping that he would take action.

Chen Xuan's heart twitched. Could it be that no matter what time it was, girls would just scream for help in this situation? Aren't they afraid that I might be a bad guy too?

But considering the girl's performance along the way, her performance was completely normal.

Because he was standing high, even though the black robe covered his entire face, a few gaps allowed him to see the entire situation in the camp.

Except for the old man in black robe who was speaking and Zhao Qingluan, everyone else looked nervous and terrified.

What made Chen Xuan happy was that Gao Jingming's performance was remarkable. He stood in front of Xiao Cai and the others with his sword across his face and a vigilant look on his face.

wrong!

What did Xiao Gao's eyes mean when he looked at him? Suspicion mixed with a hint of astonishment, then realization, and finally calmness, with even a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"Nimma, you can recognize me?"

Chen Xuan was shocked. Gao Jingming's reaction at that moment clearly showed that he recognized him.

On second thought, it was normal. The two sides have been together day and night for many years and are very familiar with each other. It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that he can recognize him even if he turns into ashes, but he just covered himself with a cloak and changed his voice. It would be strange if he didn't recognize him. Moreover, he has practiced advanced skills and has keen senses.

Fortunately, we have formed a tacit understanding over the years, and he did not show any abnormality after recognizing me.

Anyway, the current situation is a three-party confrontation. On Gao Jingming's side, everyone except him is useless. Then there is the old man in black robe who is seeking revenge, and finally there is Chen Xuan, the unexpected mysterious visitor.

It was just a momentary reaction from all parties after he appeared. Being wary of the black-robed old man's sinister tactics, Chen Xuan landed lightly and came within the range of the firelight. Curiously, he asked, "What are you doing in the middle of the night..."

"court death!"

The old man in black robe had a bad temper to begin with, and he was still angry at the moment. Since Chen Xuan was so tactless, he killed him without waiting for him to finish his words, and slapped him in the air from several feet away.

This person wasn't yet a congenital master, so naturally, he couldn't release his true energy. However, that palm strike was incredibly powerful, sending a ripple through the air. A powerful wave of air erupted in the air. For an ordinary person, the compressed air from his palm would have knocked them to the ground, even causing them to vomit blood. However, this telekinetic force was no match for Chen Xuan.

However, it would not be so easy for this person to take action.

On the surface, his palm strike was just a tentative show of force, with the sole purpose of showing off his skills and forcing Chen Xuan to retreat. But in fact, hidden in that strong wind was a venomous fog that was difficult to discern with the naked eye, especially in the dark of night, making it difficult to guard against.

But the real killer move is the several poison-tipped needles hidden behind it. They are as thin as cow hair and have been specially polished so that they do not reflect light at all.

It seemed that he only made one strike, but his moves were one after another. If you weren't careful, you wouldn't even know how you died.

In an instant, Chen Xuan activated 50% of his internal energy. With a wave of his right hand, his wide sleeves became like a piece of iron plate, but on the surface, they looked as smooth as flowing silk.

The Cloud-Brushing Sleeves is a move in the Invisible Sword Finger, which uses the sleeves as weapons. It is elegant and ethereal, but the sleeves are just the appearance, and the real backhand is the hand under the sleeves.

He waved his sleeves and a strong wind blew back, sending the black-robed old man's palm wind and poisonous mist back at a faster speed. The internal force in his fingertips was like black iron. With a flick of his finger, all the poisonous needles that attacked secretly from the opponent flew back. He himself did not suffer any damage, and the speed of the poisonous needles was three times faster.

"Your trick is just a mere trifle. Now you're the one seeking death. I'll give it back to you!"

After doing all this, Chen Xuan's voice was heard one after another. The fighting speed was too fast and his speaking speed could not keep up.

This person neutralized his series of deadly moves so calmly that the old man in black robe was shocked. From the tone of his voice, it seemed that the matter would not end peacefully. He was furious. Where did this nosy and boring person come from?

However, he had no time to speak at this time. He knew very well how powerful his poison mist and poison needles were. Even he did not dare to be easily affected and responded immediately.

He raised his hand and swung out a palm like lightning. The strong wind blew the poisonous fog aside. Under the erosion of the poisonous fog, the grass and trees within a radius of several meters withered and turned black in the blink of an eye.

Then he swung the snake staff in his other hand, and several poisonous needles were shot out. With the sound of ding ding ding, the poisonous needles flew towards Gao Jingming, Xiao Cai and the others. This guy was really vicious. While fighting with Chen Xuan, he did not forget to deal with Gao Jingming, the little kid who could still move.

Those poisonous needles were aimed at Gao Jingming, and also at Xiao Cai and the others, who Gao Jingming had to save. He could only take care of himself and not others, so they all had to die!
Chen Xuan was planning to use the invisible sword energy to block the poison needle, but the old man in black robe seemed to have underestimated Gao Jingming. In fact, he was not weak either, but he just never had the opportunity to show it.

The young master drew out the nimble short sword from its sheath, and the sharp edge flickered under the night sky, leaving a trail of afterimages. With a few ding-ding-ding sounds, the poison needle flew towards the old man in black robe again.

Not only did he resolve the crisis of the poison needle, he also returned it to the other party, which was exactly the same as what Chen Xuan did. However, the process was not as easy as Chen Xuan's. Although he did it, it was still very stimulating and his heartbeat accelerated.

The old man in black robe was horrified when he used the snake staff to change the direction of the poison needle, because the power of the poison needle flying back from Chen Xuan was simply terrifying. Although he forced to change the direction, he couldn't help but take a few steps back, and even felt his arm shaking violently, and he almost couldn't hold the snake staff in his hand.

But the poison needle from Gao Jingming flew back again, which made him angry and a little jealous. This little kid has such ability at such a young age, and he even killed my little baby. He can't let him go!

In a hurry, he simply dodged the poison needle like a black shadow, letting the poison needle, which had been deflected twice and greatly reduced in force, fly towards the innocent people in the escort agency who were unable to move. He then rushed towards Gao Jingming with his staff, shouting fiercely: "Die!"

He planned to deal with Gao Jingming first and then deal with the more difficult Chen Xuan.

However, the next moment Chen Xuan appeared in front of him like a ghost, startling him so much that he stopped and stepped back. This skill was really scary, and he didn't even see how Chen Xuan appeared.

Gao Jingming, however, dodged and moved away as if he had telepathy. He appeared in front of the people from the escort agency as fast as a flash of lightning. He swung his sword and knocked away several flying poisonous needles, saving several people from the escort agency who were almost hit.

This was probably the tacit understanding the two had developed over the years, similar to how Chen Xuan knew to grind ink as soon as he raised his hand, and he knew the next sentence after Chen Xuan recited one.

Xiao Gao is really not weak. The advanced martial arts he practices, Qingyuan Liuyun Gong, is a light and agile method, and he also has unique skills.

"I just came to join in the fun, but you old dog are shouting and calling for war. What's the point of bullying a child? If this is all you can do, I'll probably have to invite you down for some tea," Chen Xuan said slowly after scaring the other party away with his excellent lightness skills.

Gao Jingming was speechless after blocking several poisonous needles. A Xuan's tone was becoming more and more conscientious. Could it be that he was infected by his master?

"Yes, senior, kill him, he is not a good person," Zhao Qingluan said excitedly with a look of having survived a disaster.

You hold back your words...
