C993 He Was Being Hunted down
"Ha..."
The man grabbed Qing Feng's hand and opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out. His throat had been crushed, and his whole body was covered with black blood.
Although Qing Feng was nervous, he could tell that the man didn't mean to hurt him. He seemed to want to tell him something.
"What is it that you want to say? Is there anything you need me to do for you?" Qing Feng frowned and asked this person.
When Zi Lan, who was hiding behind Qing Feng, saw this person's miserable state, she was momentarily unable to accept it. She was so scared that she buried her head in Qing Feng's clothes.
"Don't be afraid, big brother is here." Qing Feng comforted Zi Lan, and then continued to look at the person in front of him.
This person tried his best to speak, but he was unable to say a single word. In the end, because of his injuries, his body started to twitch and his eyes turned white.
When Qing Feng saw that, he knew that the man was going to die. He was not related to the man at all. Since the man couldn't even express himself, there was no need for Qing Feng to care about him.
He was going to take his hand back, but the man grabbed his hand tightly. At the same time, he put a hard object into Qing Feng's hand.
"What's this?" Just as Qing Feng was wondering what the man was giving him, the man stopped convulsing. He also let go of Qing Feng's hand and lay there without moving.
Qing Feng checked the person's breath and found that the person was really dead this time.
He looked at the man's body seriously. The man suddenly showed up in such a state. Apparently, someone was chasing after him.
Thinking of this, Qing Feng did not look at the thing that the other party had given him, and immediately turned around and looked at Zi Lan.
"Zi Lan, it's time for us to leave." He said seriously.
Zi Lan naturally listened to everything he said. Although the sky was not bright yet, but Zi Lan could not stand having such a corpse here.
After that, Qing Feng used the soil to extinguish the bonfire, and then continued to walk towards the south with Zi Lan.
Only a corpse was left here. The moonlight seemed very cold at this time.
"Awoo ..."
The howls of wild wolves could still be heard in the mountains.
Two hours after Qing Feng and the others left, a clamor came from the forest where the corpse was located.
Then three figures appeared, cold in the moonlight, chasing after the dead man, as if they had had a grudge with him.
When they saw the dead body, they frowned, as if they didn't expect him to die here.
"Dead?" One of them asked doubtfully.
"Maybe it's an act. Be careful." The other person said vigilantly, as if he did not quite believe that the person they were chasing would die here.
The third man didn't say anything. He walked over to the dead body step by step. He carefully checked the body and found that the person was really dead.
"He really is dead," he turned his head and said to his two companions.
When the two of them heard this, they were stunned. However, they quickly reacted. After that, the two of them seemed to have thought of something. They looked at each other and then quickly walked over.
The three of them surrounded the corpse. They looked at each other and exchanged glances under the moonlight. Although they didn't say anything, they knew what each other meant.
The three of them were all from the Jiang Family Chamber of Commerce, and so was this dead man. The three of them had been chasing after this person because they had received the order from the president. This was because this person had stolen something from the Chamber of Commerce. As for what it was, the three of them didn't know.
They knew only that their mission had been to bring back what had been stolen, and that now that they'd found the man, dead, as long as he hadn't been lost, the mission had been accomplished.
However, there was greed in people. They were curious about what the person had stolen. They even wanted to take it for themselves.
One had to know that if this person dared to go against the wishes of the entire Jiang Family Chamber of Commerce and take such a huge risk to steal something, that thing must be very important.
If the three of them obtained it, they would leave in the night and the Chiang Family would not be able to find them for a while.
"What do you say?" One of them suddenly asked such a ridiculous question, and his eyes swept back and forth between the two of them.
"The body is here, and the thing must be on his body. Do you want to bring it back or..." The second man opened his mouth and half-closed his eyes.
"Bring it back? Are you willing to?" The third man pointed out what was on everyone's mind. The three of them were all interested in the thing that the man had stolen.
When he said that, the other two became silent. The atmosphere suddenly became strange, and the moonlight elongated their shadows.
"How do we divide the things?" The first man broke the silence and asked the question that the other two men were also concerned about.
"There is only one thing. How do you want to split it?" The second man said so. While he was talking, his eyes were looking back and forth between the other two men. There was vigilance in his eyes.
The other two men understood what he meant. They stood up slowly and stepped back. They started to be on alert to each other.
"Then let's see what we can do," the third man said.
"Okay!"
"Good!"
The two simultaneously said.
At this moment, the auras of the three of them exploded out at the same time. They were actually all cultivators of the Condensing Origin Stage, and their auras were contending against each other.
"Hua!"
Because the auras of the three of them startled the birds in the forest, the birds in the sky immediately flew in a mess.
The three of them attacked almost at the same time.
These three people were not 100% loyal to the Jiang Family Chamber of Commerce. When faced with benefits, they all chose to plan for themselves.
The three of them had been able to work together before they had caught the target, but now that the target was here, and if all three of them wanted to get what they wanted, they would have to kill the other two.
The three of them didn't hold back at all. Every move of theirs was a killing move. They needed to attack the other party, and they also needed to be on guard against the attacks of the other two. As long as one of them wasn't careful, someone would fall down.
The dead body was lying there quietly. It was the only witness of the battle here.
...
Qing Feng brought Zi Lan along as they hurried along in the night. They did not know where they were going, but they were only fleeing in one direction. Zi Lan might not understand why Qing Feng was in such a hurry.
But Qing Feng knew that the man must have been being hunted, or else he wouldn't have been in such a state. Besides, the injured man couldn't have run far, so the hunter must have been nearby.
Although they had nothing to do with this man, they were still afraid that he would put them on the hunting list.
In order to survive, Qing Feng naturally did not dare to stay behind, so he could only escape with Zi Lan.
However, he did not know if they could escape from the pursuers.
