Chapter 4: Hostage Exchange

The power in the ghost pupil was already surging restlessly, and the little fox fairy was also woken up, which was a warning to him.

"Don't move in the house, close the door, don't open the door until you hear my voice!" Ma Chengfeng pushed the 'door' and went out, and instructed Chang Xiaoman to lock the 'door' of the house.

In the small courtyard, there was a vast silver light, the moon sky was bright, and there was not a single cloud in the sky. Standing in the courtyard and listening carefully to the subtle sound, it has long been impossible to capture. Either the thing has run away, or the lightness of the thing has been hidden.

"Childe is it found again." The ghost's pupils glowed green, and the little fox said.

"Can your yang still come out tonight?" Ma Chengfeng asked.

"No, the slave family has run out of strength when they are in the Nine Palaces Golden Palace." The little fox said to him in the eyes of the ghost. "But the slave family found the hiding place of the nine-life cat for the childe."

The little fox guided Ma Chengfeng, jumped on the roof, and then ran towards the trail behind the village from the courtyard wall, behind which was a hill, and there were no people, and Ma Chengfeng stopped without running a few steps. In the snow not far away, a pair of eyes were shining with a faint green light to meet him, and those pupils were exactly the same as his own ghost pupils. It's the Nine Lives Cat!

Meow ...... Meow ......

Seeing Ma Chengfeng chasing after him, the Nine Lives Cat not only ran away, but yelled at him miserably. Its cry is strange, no more cute than that of an ordinary cat, and it looks extremely bleak under the eerie night 'color'. Ma Chengfeng 'drawn' out the snow-bright Seven Star Blade, and his heart was filled with murderous intent!

Maybe the cat was afraid of the evil qi on the Seven Star Blade, and when Ma Chengfeng 'pulled' out the blade, the Nine Lives Cat turned around and fled.

"The son can't be chased, its master should be nearby, they are playing a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain." The little fox in the ghost pupil said.

"Why do they have to take Xiao Man's 'life'?"

"Because Miss Chang is a moon worshipper and has absorbed the moon in her body, the 'yin' qi is exactly what the Nine Lives Cat needs to practice, if it is lucky, it can be consummated." The little fox told him.

Ma Chengfeng didn't dare to chase anymore, so he turned around and walked back with a dagger. But when I returned to the front of the house, I was dumbfounded, the door of the house was wide open, and Chang Xiaoman on the kang had long since disappeared. Sure enough, it was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. In the white moonlight, a new trail of footprints was left in the snow.

Fortunately, Ma Chengfeng's journey of thousands of miles in one night was fast enough, he followed the footsteps, chased for five or six minutes, and finally caught up with the man in front of the ruined temple outside the village.

The man held Chang Xiaoman with one arm, and his kung fu was also very sharp, but compared with Ma Chengfeng, he seemed to have more than enough heart and insufficient strength, how could he catch up with someone else?

Ma Chengfeng jumped up, rolled backwards in the air and fell in front of him, the bright seven-star blade in his hand flashing with fierce light.

"Stop!" He shouted.

The man was not young, and he was a little tired from running so far, and his brain was covered with sweat. He threw down Chang Xiaoman, wiped his sweat, looked at Ma Chengfeng and said coldly: "Why are you ruining my good thing?" "His accent is not a local when he hears it, it is a bit like the Lingzhou dialect of Chu Xiangyun, and it is estimated that he is the cat trainer in their mouths.

"That's what I should ask you."

"Hmph...... Young man, do you think you can beat me? The cat trainer was extremely disdainful of Ma Chengfeng.

"The younger generation doesn't know how my friend offended the seniors, it is said that you are older than me, and Cheng Feng should be respected by Cheng Feng, who is a person in the rivers and lakes, but if the seniors want to hurt Xiaoman! Then don't blame the juniors for being welcome! "Ma Chengfeng is confident to meet this cat trainer again this time. Although there was no head-on conflict with him last time, judging from the body of this cat trainer, the other party's light skills were good, at least in the situation at the time, it was difficult for Ma Chengfeng to chase him.

But this time, Ma Chengfeng's understanding of a thousand miles and a night trip is more thorough, if he was just entering the 'door' before, then now he should be regarded as comprehending the mystery of this peerless light achievement.

Chang Xiaoman was thrown into the snow by the cat trainer, motionless, and he didn't know whether he was poisoned or pointed at a 'hole'. Ma Chengfeng was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to talk to him quickly, so he didn't stop doing it, picked up the Seven Star Blade and rushed forward one step.

The man's eyes widened, seeing that Ma Chengfeng's body was rushing in front of him like lightning, and it was too late to resist again, the cold short knife was already on his neck, as long as Ma Chengfeng used a little force, he would immediately separate his body and head.

"Senior, do you say that the junior can fight you?" Ma Chengfeng asked.

"Humph! I didn't expect you to have such a great achievement at such a young age, I underestimated you! But don't be too happy. As soon as the words fell, the nine-life cat in the wilderness rushed out from somewhere. It grinned, whining in its throat, and two sharp fangs were 'exposed' from its mouth and were approaching Chang Xiaoman step by step.

Obviously, as long as Ma Chengfeng dares to move and threaten the safety of the owner of the Nine Lives Cat, Chang Xiaoman will not be left behind. But if the evil cat trainer is released at this moment, he will definitely find trouble in the future.

"Okay, even if I admit it today, it's okay for you and me to settle it, right? Don't embarrass your cat, my friend! I count down to 10 and I step back at the same time as your cat! What do you think? "Ma Chengfeng never dreamed that he would one day negotiate with a kitten to 'hand' over hostages.

The cat trainer naturally did not want to put himself in danger, he covered his mouth with one hand, and the Adam's apple made a purring sound, just like the movement of a cat when it was comfortable. The cat really understood the master's order, looked up and glanced at Ma Chengfeng coldly, and exchanged glances with each other, and understood!

"10,9,8,7,6......" Ma Chengfeng turned around with the cat trainer and stepped back step by step, and glanced at the cunning nine-life cat from the corner of his eye from time to time, this cat knew the rules very well, and quietly retreated away from Chang Xiaoman's body.

The cat trainer had a good plan in his heart, as long as Ma Chengfeng let him go, he could give the Nine Lives Cat another order to bite this little girl who stole the moon to death. This kid's body is really fast, can he be faster than the cat?

"4,3,2......" When Ma Chengfeng's seven-star blade stood on his neck and counted down to two, he suddenly pushed him away, and jumped up with the strength under his feet. His peerless light skills stepped on the snow without a trace, as fast as lightning, and he jumped forward slowly, and one step was six or seven meters away, and he rushed towards the beautiful senior sister.

Sure enough, there was no faith at all with this kind of cunning person, and he could only hear a long whistle behind him. Immediately after that, the nine-life cat meowed and screamed, and also rushed towards Ma Chengfeng, one person and one beast now depends on who is faster, Ma Chengfeng can save Chang Xiaoman in one step, and the nine-life cat can take Chang Xiaoman's 'life' with one paw when he pounces on it first.
