Chapter 477
It was none of his business, Tang Yin didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but he couldn't suppress his strong curiosity. After thinking for a moment, he quickly put on his clothes, put on his shoes, opened the window and flashed out of the room, then used Shadow Drift continuously to quickly chase the black-clothed man in the direction where he disappeared.
Tang Yin's spiritual energy was deep, and his spiritual heavenly realm cultivation was enough to support him to use Shadow Drift continuously in a short period of time. It didn't take long for him to chase him. He saw the figure of the black-clothed man. At this time, the man was lying on the roof of a house, looking around from time to time. Tang Yin stopped and also lay on the roof, squinting his green eyes, staring at the other party, to see what he was going to do.
Soon, the black-clothed man did not find anything unusual, supported his body with his limbs, climbed to the edge of the roof like a civet cat, and then flashed under the house with Shadow Drift. Only about half a minute later, the man in black quickly jumped from under the house to the roof, but there was a small quilt bundle in his arms.
Tang Yin was sharp-eyed and saw at a glance that the quilt held by the man in black was wrapped with a baby who was only a few months old. It turned out to be a thief who stole the baby! Tang Yin raised the corner of his mouth, but he felt very strange. Looking at the cultivation level of the man in black, he must have reached the spiritual realm at least. With such a good skill, he could support his family anywhere, why did he do such a sneaky thing?
When he was secretly wondering in his heart, suddenly, he heard a quick and sharp whistle around the man in black. At the same time, torches were lit around the house under his feet, people shouted and horses neighed. Just when the man in black was startled, four figures quickly jumped up from under the house, occupying the four corners of the roof, surrounding the man in black.
These four people were all covered with spiritual armor and holding narrow and long spiritual swords. Judging from their figures, they should be three men and one woman. Tang Yin, who was hiding not far away, blinked his eyes and smiled silently. It turned out that there had been an ambush in the town. According to the residents in the town, these four spiritual practitioners should have been transferred from the county.
Tang Yin continued to watch silently with the mentality of watching a good show. At this time, one of the four spiritual practitioners stepped forward, pointed at the man in black with the spiritual sword in his hand, and said coldly: "Today we have laid a net here, waiting for you, the thief, to take the bait. I didn't expect you to really come! If you know what's good for you, hand over the child in your hand and surrender. Otherwise, we will make people bleed and beheaded!" The man in black was obviously very surprised by the sudden appearance of the enemies around him. His head turned from time to time, looking forward, looking back, and constantly looking left and right. It's true that he is a dark spiritual practitioner, and he also knows the dark spiritual martial arts skill Shadow Drift, but now he has a child in his arms, and Shadow Drift can no longer be used. If he wants to break out, he either throws the baby away or relies on his real ability to rush out.
It is obvious that the man in black does not want to give up the baby he got with great difficulty. His eyes shot out a terrifying light. He held the baby in one hand and quickly pulled out a steel knife from his waist with the other hand. As he waved his hand, the spiritual armor and the weapon were completed at the same time. Then, he didn't say anything, but just shouted, and the spiritual practitioner behind him rushed forward with a knife.
He was fast, and the opponent's speed was not satisfactory. The spiritual practitioner swung the spiritual sword and bounced the black-clothed man's steel knife away. Then, he turned his sword back and stabbed the black-clothed man's chest. The black-clothed man's quick reaction was amazing. He didn't even think about it. He just slightly turned his body and easily avoided the sword. At the same time, the spiritual knife chopped down and fiercely took the spiritual practitioner's top.
The spiritual practitioner was startled and quickly held his sword to block, but the black-clothed man had already used all his strength in this heavy chop, and the force and energy were so strong that it seemed like a mountain was pressing down on his head. A sharp sound of iron collision was heard in his ears, and the spiritual practitioner's arms were numb and his knuckles were cracked. He couldn't help but retreat again and again.
But he was standing on the eaves of the house, and there was no way out. When he retreated, he immediately lost his balance and fell on his back with a scream. After pushing the other party under the house, the black-clothed man didn't delay for a moment, took a deep breath, exerted force with his legs, and kicked the eaves fiercely. He really seemed to fly up and jumped straight to the roof opposite.
He thought he could take the opportunity to break out of the enemy's encirclement, but the speed of the other three spiritual practitioners was not slower than his. When he was still in the air, the other three also jumped up. Before they arrived, their spiritual skills had been released first. However, the three of them were concerned about the safety of the baby, so they did not release spiritual skills for large-scale attacks, but used spiritual thorns at the same time with great tacit understanding.
Spiritual thorns are spiritual skills that spiritual practitioners concentrate their own spiritual energy to one point, turn into spiritual thorns, and shoot them out fiercely. Although it is a spiritual skill of point attack, it is fast, powerful, and can break spiritual armor. It is also one of the skills that light spiritual practitioners often use when fighting alone.
The man in black was in the air, with no place to exert force, so he naturally couldn't dodge. In addition, he couldn't use shadow drift. Seeing the three spiritual thorns shooting at him like lightning, he had no choice but to throw the baby in his hand behind him, and then use shadow drift to barely dodge the three spiritual thorns.
His reaction seemed to have been anticipated by the three spiritual practitioners. The moment he threw the baby, the woman among the three had already rushed over and caught the falling baby at the critical moment. At this time, the man in black had already escaped far away with the help of shadow drift. He looked back at the three spiritual practitioners, shook his head secretly, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and without stopping, he rushed straight to the south.
Although the three spiritual practitioners took back the baby, they refused to give up and chased after him. The man in black had obviously undergone long-term training in running and attacking. His speed was as fast as a whirlwind. In addition, he used shadow drift from time to time. He ran all the way down. There was nothing that could hinder him. However, the three spiritual practitioners were different. They were on the roof and under the house. It didn't take long for them to chase him and they could not find the figure of the man in black.
After a while of running, the man in black finally got rid of the other party. He continued to run south all the way until he ran to the woods on the edge of the town. His speed slowed down. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then he went into the woods and stopped under an old tree. He sat on the ground panting and leaned against the tree.
"Don't you think it's a waste to use this good job to steal a baby?" The man in black sat under the tree and rested for a while, and heard a voice suddenly coming from above his head.
The sudden voice frightened him greatly. The man in black was shocked and screamed subconsciously as if he had seen a ghost: "Who is it?" As he spoke, he rolled on the ground like a ball, and rolled five or six meters away. Then he stood up quickly and looked up.
He saw a man squatting on the branch of the old tree where he had just sat. He was wearing black spiritual armor, almost blending into the darkness. The most shocking thing was that his eyes flashed with strange green light, hiding in the branches and leaves of the tree, like an elf or a ghost.
The man in black had no idea when the other party appeared above him. He even suspected that the other party had been squatting there all the time. However, from the other party's words just now, he was sure that he was following him.
The man in black also reacted quickly, blurting out: "Dark spiritual practitioner!" Even when he was most relaxed, the other party could not climb over his head silently without him noticing. There was only one explanation, the other party was a dark spiritual practitioner like him, and could use shadow drift.
Seeing that the other party could tell that he was a dark spiritual practitioner at a glance, the man on the tree couldn't help but chuckle, and suddenly he turned into black mist, and then appeared in front of the man in black. "Don't be surprised, you and I are both dark spiritual practitioners, and we can be considered to be from the same school!" The man who suddenly appeared on the tree was not someone else, but Tang Yin who had been following the man in black. The man in black could shake off the three spiritual practitioners, but he couldn't shake off Tang Yin.
The man in black did not relax his vigilance because of Tang Yin's words. On the contrary, the murderous aura on his body suddenly emerged. Without any warning, he suddenly shouted and stabbed Tang Yin with a knife.
His knife was very fast, but in Tang Yin's eyes, it was not powerful. Tang Yin easily avoided his sharp edge and did not fight back. Instead, he said with a smile: "Friend, we can talk it out. Why do we have to fight?" The man did not respond, but the spiritual knife in his hand attacked faster, one knife after another, attacking Tang Yin's vital parts. At first, he could still bear it, but it didn't take long. Tang Yin was impatient. He sneered and said faintly: "You want to suffer, so don't blame me!" He didn't even draw his knife, and faced the man in black with his bare hands. After dodging the opponent's two knives, seeing the man in black using his full strength to chop his neck this time, Tang Yin laughed in his heart. The opponent made a big taboo when fighting with a master. When fighting with a master, you must reserve your strength unless it is absolutely necessary. If you have ten points of strength, use seven points, and if you have twelve points of strength, use ten points. If you use all your strength, if you miss, you will not even have the chance to withdraw or dodge when the opponent counterattacks. Now, the man in black made such a mistake.
Tang Yin lowered his body slightly, dodging the opponent's heavy knife without panic. Then, he leaned forward, pressed his shoulder against the black-clothed man's lower abdomen, and swung his fists upward. He heard four consecutive crisp sounds in his ears, "pa, pa, pa, pa". The black-clothed man retreated eight steps in a row as if he had received an electric shock. Then, he felt a stuffy chest and a sweet throat, and spurted out blood with a wow.
Tang Yin's four punches hit his chest firmly, and the black-clothed man's spiritual armor was smashed to pieces. At this time, the black-clothed man was sure that the other party's cultivation was far superior to his own, and his skills were even more terrifying. He was definitely not someone he could handle.
He gritted his teeth, shook his arms, and threw the knife in his hand straight at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin turned sideways and swung his arm outward. With a clang, the back of his hand hit the blade, and the magic blade spun and flew to the side. However, when Tang Yin raised his head to look at the man in black again, he was no longer in front of him.
