Chapter 343 The Person Being Tracked

Yan Qing couldn't help but stand up.

Why would the alchemists from Xu State come to such a place?

If this matter is related to the Qi Senser, she can't turn a blind eye to it - the pursuers sent by Xu State are unlikely to be controlled by the Privy Council of Qi State, unless she can take out the Seven Star Token. And these people are rampant in Shenzhou, which may endanger Li's safety.

To be on the safe side, she must at least find out the other party's intentions.

Thinking of this, Yan Qing slapped a few copper coins on the table and turned to run down the teahouse.

"Excuse me!"

"Please make way!"

She took out the silver chain on her wrist and pointed one end at the two people's figures going away.

"Kun Shu is Yin, the earth weaves a net."

The chain driven by the magic slowly floated up and locked the direction of the target's breath.

Because the iron chain was confiscated by the Privy Council, Yan Qing didn't have time to make a new chain along the way, so she could only use this kind of decoration to make up for it. It may not be useful in a fight, but the functions of magic that do not rely on weapon strength, such as memorizing breath and providing early warning, are not much different.

Under the guidance of the bracelet, she kept a distance of about 100 steps from the opponent. As long as the flow of qi was suppressed, even Qing Jian would find it difficult to detect the stalking outside this distance.

Unless one of the two had a magic specifically used for anti-tracking.

But making such a big commotion in the city only meant that they were a little too concerned about the end.

The target moved all the way to a secluded place. In addition, it was the night time, and the number of people moving around quickly decreased. It was obvious that the person being tracked was also deliberately avoiding the crowd, which made Yan Qing frown slightly.

——This person is undoubtedly a novice in escaping.

It seems easy to hide in a remote place, but in fact it is only for people who have lived there for a long time. Outsiders will become conspicuous targets because they are unfamiliar with the place. Even if the trackers are shaken off for a while, they can quickly reduce the encirclement range by bribing the locals.

The correct approach should be to escape to a crowded place.

The more people there are, the easier it is to obfuscate one's tracks. Even if there are witnesses, it is impossible for the Xu State Taoist priest to instantly select a helper who can provide intelligence from a large crowd.

It can be said that when the other party chooses to enter the streets and alleys of this outer city, it is only a matter of time before they are caught up.

For Yan Qing, the most ideal situation is that the Taoist priest just catches the target at the moment when she can sneak into the vicinity of both parties. During this period, whether it is talking or fighting, she can provide her with a lot of detailed information.

However, at this moment, the bracelet suddenly fell and no longer indicated the direction.

Yan Qing was stunned.

The weaving technique lost the opponent's breath?

There are only two situations that will lead to such a situation-one is that the opponent uses the magic to block the effect of the tracking technique.

The other is that the opponent is dead.

But how could it be...?

The two men are at least Taoist priests at the Bairen level, which means that they have fought with many Qi-sensing people with real swords and guns, and they are not the kind of "newcomers" who can only deal with evil spirits step by step. In order to solve them quietly, the opponent must at least have the level of defense, and the magic used must be inclined to assassination.

For example, Yu Linglong, the "shadow projection" of the capital's general government.

Of course, the first situation is not good news. The opponent suddenly blocked the tracking, which means that they have noticed that there is a third party following behind.

Yan Qing immediately raised her vigilance to the highest level.

At this time, it is not safe to return to the original route. It may be a good choice to retreat in the face of difficulties, but at this moment, the opponent may also use this to turn the retreat road into a dangerous trap.

She decided to move forward.

First, when the tracking was interrupted, the distance between the two sides was only a hundred steps. In other words, the two people were deep in the alley in front of her. Just by turning a corner, she can get a glimpse of what happened in front.

Secondly, it is out of the confidence of a Qingjian. She has participated in more than a thousand battles, and there are countless situations that are much more dangerous than this. She can stand out from a large group of alchemists and survive until now, and it is definitely not luck. Even if she lacks a handy weapon, she is Yan Qing, the lock weaver.

The alley was pitch black at this time, with not even a trace of moonlight overhead. The snow and ice under her feet made a crackling sound when she stepped on them. This was the only sound she could hear.

Entering the alley, Yan Qing leaned down and let the bracelet seep into the ground and spread. The chain, which was only half a foot long, kept sinking, as if it had infinite length. And these extra silver chains expanded around her in circles, forming a huge "net" with her as the center!

This is Yan Qing's most unique technique.

If Baizhan's mysterious swordsmanship is hard to defend against and he is the strongest attacker in Kun's technique, then she is the strongest defender. Without using her eyes, she can sense the environment and changes in the net, and no matter which direction the enemy attacks from, she can get early warning.

Soon, the flowing chain "smelled" the smell of blood.

In the pitch-dark alley, the figure of a human man was outlined. He fell face down on the ground, and the warm current from his chest was melting the surrounding ice and snow bit by bit.

Then, the second person was also found.

He fell only three steps away from the first person, his body curled up, and a talisman was held in his hand.

She now knew the answer.

The two Hundred Blades were almost killed within a few breaths - there were no signs of fighting at the scene, only a few messy footprints, proving that they were strongly suppressed at the moment of contact with the enemy, unable to organize an effective counterattack, and were knocked down in a panic. The only possibility that could do this, apart from the highly targeted Kan technique, was that the pursued person had an unexpected strength.

The chain was still extending, and just when the edge was about to reach the end of the alley, it touched a foot.

However, this time, Yan Qing could not see the scene outlined by the net. The foot was slightly raised and then stepped on the bracelet - she knew that it was not really "stepping on", because the silver chain made of air was located under the surface and would not be blocked by any ground obstacles, but the expanding net suddenly stopped, as if it could no longer cross the boundary at the foot.

Not only that, Yan Qing felt an indescribable pressure coming along the chain, as if the end of the dark alley was no longer a low house, but a huge open bloody mouth, and anyone who walked into it was food sent to the other side's mouth!

This momentum even made the silver chains stand up, and they spontaneously wanted to build a chain wall for protection.

"Are you here to catch me too?"

A cold voice came from the darkness.

Then, Yan Qing saw a pair of eyes.

It might have been there from the beginning, or it might have just opened, but in any case, those eyes definitely did not belong to humans.

It was clearly a lightless night, but it reflected a faint light, the sides of the pupils were golden, and the center of the pupils was pitch black - and the most special thing was that the black pupils were spindle-shaped, like a vertical crack.
