C994 Discovered

"Ah!" As Zi Lan ran with the wind, she tripped on a stone and twisted it. She cried out in pain.

Running for a long time was indeed tiring for a little girl. Qing Feng naturally knew this, but he was more afraid that the pursuers would find them, so he had to escape with Zi Lan.

"Let me see how it is." Now that Zi Lan had twisted her leg, she could only stop and rest for a while.

Zi Lan's face was slightly pale. It was partly because she had not rested well, and partly due to the fact that she had been running for too long. She covered her ankle with her hand and did not make a sound.

Qing Feng squatted down and looked at Zi Lan. He discovered that Zi Lan's ankle was already swollen, and she could no longer run.

In this case, there was no way for them to run. Furthermore, Qing Feng felt a little tired. The two of them really needed to rest for a while.

He squatted beside Zi Lan's feet and gently rubbed her ankle with his hand, trying to help her relieve the pain.

"Brother Qingfeng, why are we running!" Zi Lan felt wronged. She was already in a bad mood because of her grandfather's death, and now that she was running through the night, she was already in a mess.

Qing Feng did not say a word, and only gently rubbed Zi Lan's ankle.

Seeing that Qing Feng had stopped talking, Zi Lan also knew that her question had become a little willful. She was no longer a child, and when she saw that person die in front of their eyes, she also knew that there would be danger accompanying him. It was right for Qing Feng to take her and run away, so she shouldn't ask this kind of question at a time like this.

But Qing Feng did not blame Zi Lan. He was only focused on massaging Zi Lan's ankles, and Zi Lan did not know what he was thinking.

"How is it? Is it still painful?" Qing Feng raised his head and asked Zi Lan, his face revealing a warm smile.

Under the moonlight, Qing Feng's face appeared extremely gentle, causing Zi Lan to be stunned. When Zi Lan realized that she had lost her composure, her face immediately flushed red.

"No...It doesn't hurt anymore." Zi Lan whispered.

Under the cover of the night, Qing Feng did not see the red blush on Zi Lan's face. Hearing Zi Lan's words, he put her feet back and sat down beside her. He pulled her into his arms, wanting to give her a sense of security.

"Let's rest for a while." Qing Feng said as he comforted Zi Lan's back.

"En!" Zi Lan was now completely like a shy quail, shrinking into Qing Feng's embrace and nodding obediently.

Qing Feng's eyes looked towards the direction where they had escaped, and his gaze was extremely serious. While he and Zi Lan were resting here, perhaps the pursuers had already known about their existence, or they might have already rushed over.

It was not that Qing Feng didn't want to continue running with Zi Lan, but that the current Zi Lan could no longer run at all, so resting here was also a helpless action.

Hopefully, those people did not discover the existence of him and Zi Lan.

...

At this moment, at the place where Qing Feng and the others had fled, a large number of trees had fallen, all caused by the attacks of the three pursuers.

There was only one dead body on the ground at first, but now, there was another one. One of the three assassins had already died. Now, there were only two men who were still fighting for their lives.

Both men were tired now, but none of them dared relax, because if they were not careful, they might be the ones to die, and no one wanted to fall over there like the two bodies.

Both of them had their clothes covered with their own blood and the other's blood. They were all injured in the fight.

Now, there was only one man left. As long as he survived, everything would be his. They both had the same thought.

So the fight between them became more intense.

"Bang!" At this moment, one of the assassins found the flaw in his opponent's attack and struck out with his palm, causing a surge of Yuan Qi to flow in his hand. This palm strike was a sure-kill move, and as long as he hit his opponent, the opponent would be dead for sure.

The other one also did not expect that the opponent would actually be able to find his weakness. In his great shock, he also threw out a punch, and the aura on their bodies rose by another level.

But the latter was too late, and the other man had struck at him through the gap he could not ward off, while he had returned the blow in a hurry, and the gap between the two was clear.

"Boom!"

A cyclone surged out from between the two of them. The two of them maintained the posture of attacking without moving.

The auras on the two of them also stagnated for a moment.

After a long while.

"Bang!"

The man who threw the punch fell to the ground. His hand was still in an attacking position, but under the moonlight, the shock on his face was obvious.

The light in his eyes started to fade away. At the last moment before it disappeared completely, his eyes were filled with endless unwillingness. He was going to die.

Seeing the man die, the assassin relaxed and fell to the ground, gasping for breath. If he hadn't seen through the man's weakness, he would have been the one to die, but he had seen through the man's weakness and seized the opportunity, so he was the one to survive.

"Hahahaha! You want to fight with me? All of you, go to hell! The thing can only belong to me. Not to mention all of you, even the Jiang Family Chamber of Commerce won't be able to take it away from me. Cough..." The man laughed out loud, his eyes cold as he muttered to himself.

Since his threat was gone, he felt relieved. He got up from the ground and walked towards the body of their target.

"What kind of thing did you steal at such a great risk?" Greediness appeared on his face, and he squatted down to search the dead body.

However, as he searched, the smile on his face slowly disappeared and was replaced by an extremely cold expression.

The thing was gone. There was nothing on the body that they were looking for, but the three of them were still fighting each other. That was stupid.

"Impossible. Where is the thing? What is going on?" He was furious. He felt like he was being played. If the thing was gone, wouldn't his desperate fight be a joke?

At this time, he saw a bonfire beside the corpse, which attracted his attention.

He walked over to the bonfire and touched the ashes with his hand. He found that there was still some warmth left. Obviously, the fire had been extinguished not long ago, and the target had already died when they arrived.

In other words, the bonfire was not made by this person, which meant that other than the target, there was someone else here before they arrived.

Thinking about that, he narrowed his eyes and started to look around.

He found traces of someone being stepped on in the forest in the south.

"Humph, no matter who you are, the thing is mine!" The assassin snorted coldly and chased after the trail where Qing Feng and the others had fled.
