Chapter 274: Distress
Wang Ke and Hua Ling hurriedly left Lu'an County and crossed the pass into the Song Kingdom.
Compared with in the Qin State, Hua Ling's face is even better, because the Burial Sword Lake is in the Song State.
When it comes to the power of the sect, the Song State is the weakest of the five kingdoms. Among the ten major sects, only the Star Picking Cliff in the Four Immortal Mountains is in the territory of the Song Kingdom.
However, there is still the Sword Sect in the Song Kingdom, and there is also the Burial Sword Lake. The swordsmanship of the Sword Sect is inferior to the Great Grandmaster. At the martial arts conference, the seat of the Burial Sword Lake was closely followed by the top ten sects.
Therefore, Hua Ling only needs to identify himself, and the gangs will go all out, and they don't even need to sing the red-faced and white-faced scenes.
Fortunately, after Xia Xueqing entered the Song Kingdom, she did not change her appearance again, so she left a clear clue, but she went in the direction of Western Chu.
Wang Ke and Hua Ling tracked them all the way, and half a month later, they were only one step away from finding Xia Xueqing - she had just left on the morning when the two arrived in Jiantai County.
Although it was close to noon now, and he would definitely have to spend the night in the wilderness at this time, Wang Ke still chased after him without hesitation, and Hua Ling naturally followed.
The two men went out of the city, galloped for more than two hours, and encountered a team of darts.
Just now after passing by with them a hundred feet away, Wang Ke suddenly turned back and shouted, "Everyone, wait a minute!"
The dart team thought that they had encountered a strongman, so they hurriedly organized into a defensive formation, and looked nervously at Wang Ke who was rushing over.
A dart head stood up and shouted: "Friend, the Longmen Dart Bureau is here, and I hope to give face!"
"You don't have to worry, I'm not trying to rob your darts!" Wang Ke stopped his horse and said, "I seem to have heard from you just now, when you encounter a fight between people in the rivers and lakes, what is going on?"
The dart head was shocked in his heart, the sound they were talking about just now was not loud, and Wang Ke was a hundred feet away, he could actually hear that this kind of internal force was definitely not something that could be acquired.
Not to mention him, even Hua Ling was secretly surprised, he didn't hear the discussion of the dart team, but Wang Ke could hear it, obviously his internal strength was much higher than him.
He hurriedly said: "This hero, we met two innate masters fighting in the morning, and the fight was very fierce, so we delayed the trip. ”
"I heard you say there's a young man, do you think he's?" Wang Ke said, taking out a portrait of Xia Xueqing's last disguise.
The dart head stepped forward to take a closer look and said, "It is indeed him." ”
"Tell me quickly, where is the battle and what is the result?" Wang Ke said urgently.
The dart head pointed to the way he came, and said: "About a hundred miles away from here, this young congenital master was defeated, fled to the mountains and forests, his opponent chased down, and in the end, we will ......."
Before he could finish his sentence, Wang Ke had already swept off his horse and galloped away in the direction he was pointing.
Hua Ling was a little relieved, and he also abandoned the horses and used light work to hurry.
The innate master exerts light skills, which are much faster than horses, but rushing with light skills has a great loss of internal force.
And not everyone is good at running long distances, so most of them still borrow horses to drive.
But now the situation is critical, Xia Xueqing has been defeated and escaped into the mountains and forests, and so much time has passed, where can Wang Ke take care of the loss of internal force.
Fortunately, he has learned from Yu Tianhe to travel thousands of miles, which is most suitable for long-distance travel, so he naturally abandons the horse.
Although Hua Ling's light skills are also good, compared with the thousands of miles away, it is far inferior, and soon even Wang Ke's figure will not be visible.
"This guy is so demonic, even if his swordsmanship is better than mine, he is especially better than me in light skills, I really don't know how he takes care of it. ”
Hua Ling scolded and chased, just when he saw a man on horseback coming from the opposite side, he jumped over, grabbed the knight and threw it down, and then threw over a piece of gold, and said, "I bought this!"
With that, he slapped his horse and chased after him, leaving the knight to look at his back with a bewildered expression.
Not to mention Hua Ling's grabbing of horses, just to say that Wang Ke ran for hundreds of miles, and finally arrived at the place where the dart team said.
With a slight sweep of his eyes, he saw that the scene was indeed caused by a congenital battle, Xia Xueqing's opponent should be using a knife, and his skills were extraordinary, at least he was congenital.
What worries him the most is that there are blood stains on the ground, if he guesses correctly, Xia Xueqing must have been injured.
Wang Ke quickly found the direction of Xia Xueqing's escape, slightly adjusted the somewhat disordered internal breath, and chased down the traces they left.
He chased after him all the way, and it was already dusk, and after a short time of pursuit, night had fallen.
By the end of the month, the sky was moonless, and the forest was even darker. Fortunately, the innate vision is not blocked by the night, otherwise it is really difficult to identify the traces left by Xia Xueqing.
On the way, he encountered several fighting places, and judging from the situation at the scene, Xia Xueqing did not take advantage, but still escaped.
As the distance of the follow-up battle became closer and closer, Wang Ke's heart became more and more anxious, he imagined that now Xia Xueqing was close to exhaustion, and it was even likely to fall into the hands of the other party.
After chasing for another half an hour, Wang Ke faintly heard the sound of someone talking in front of him.
"Xia Nuxia, if you don't come out again, I'm going to set it on fire. ”
Wang Ke breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, at least Xia Xueqing hadn't been caught by that person yet, and he wouldn't be able to throw a rat trap when he rescued him.
He held his breath and cautiously dived over, only to hear the man's voice grow clearer and clearer.
"Xia Nuxia, I'll give you ten breaths of time, if you don't come out of this hole again, I'll really set it on fire. ”
Although he didn't hear Xia Xueqing's reply, Wang Ke also guessed the situation in front of him, Xia Xueqing must have fled into a cave, and the person didn't dare to enter rashly, so he threatened her with arson.
He snorted coldly in his heart, he had already sentenced this person to death, reached out and touched the flying knife on his waist, but suddenly changed his mind.
"No, if you want to stay alive, I must know from this person who is going to arrest my junior sister. ”
Thinking of this, Wang Ke let go of the flying knife and grasped the hilt of the Ziyao sword.
After sneaking forward for more than 100 feet, I finally saw a figure, shaking the fire fold in his hand towards a cave, making a gesture to ignite the hay piled up in front of the cave, and said: "I really lit it, you will not be burned to death, but you will also be smoked to death, what a pity." ”
Wang Ke saw that all the attention of the man was on the cave, and he didn't find himself, so why not move at this time?
He suddenly jumped out, the purple sword in his hand flashed brightly, and his body and sword merged together, stabbing straight towards the man's back.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as Wang Ke moved, the man turned around and slashed out a sharp knife, and shouted: "Haha, you finally made a move, give me death!"
