Chapter 48
"Hmm..." Shen Changling was full of worries and was deeply distressed, but he didn't show it at this time.
Looking at the dilapidated suspension bridge swaying in the wind, he sighed inwardly—if only he could pass it smoothly.
The bridge was originally narrow and could only be passed by one person.After the ravages of wind and rain and the tempering of the years, it is now dilapidated and old, as if it will disintegrate immediately in the next moment.
Even if you can pass safely by gritting your teeth, but in the case of pursuers, the people on the bridge will be very dangerous, right?
With just a slight wave of the sword, people on the bridge will immediately fall into this abyss without any effort, and there is no room for return.
Turning around and seeing a group of people rushing towards in the white snow not far away, Shen Changling gritted his teeth and had to make a decision right away—if this continues, even the last chance will be wasted yes.
"You go first, I'll follow you. Remember, don't look back..." He suddenly heard the people beside him say so.
Nodding, looking at the handsome silhouette of the other party, those eyes are still full of charm, as if they were born with affection, and they are watching him with a smile at this moment.
Shen Changling didn't dare to have any more hesitation. He quickly walked onto the wooden bridge, trying hard to maintain his balance, stepping on both sides of the wooden bridge with his toes, so that the bridge, which was almost in its dying years, could work smoothly. shake.
He moved forward quickly, not daring to stop for a moment, and never thought about looking back—at this time, looking back is a real waste of time, even if he can see the situation behind him, so what?It will only increase your anxiety.
When walking to the middle at an extremely fast speed, Shen Changling's heart was about to lift up.He didn't hear the voice behind him, nor did he feel the sway of the other party stepping on the bridge, but he firmly remembered Duan Shuangming's instructions, and didn't dare to look back.
——Probably because the other party's light body skills are very powerful?In comparison, the speed at which I walked across the bridge deck was too slow.
So he didn't mess up his pace, but accelerated his pace.
Hurry up, we're almost there.
The vine branches on the opposite bank are entangled on the rock wall, some are withered and yellow, and some are especially green.
As a symbol of destruction and new life...
Shen Changling suddenly felt a great anxiety, his heart was beating violently, the sound of the heartbeat almost drowned him.
All of this is just my imagination, don't get confused and go away.He said to himself in his heart.
He could only move forward mechanically, he was completely unable to think...
When he finally stepped on the ground, Shen Changling couldn't control it anymore, his legs softened and he fell to the ground.
It is finally safe, and then as long as the bridge is cut off, those people on the other side can be blocked.
It would be even better if they were on the bridge at this moment. If they slipped, they would fall into the bottomless abyss, and they would no longer be able to chase them down.
However, before he had time to think about it, he turned his head to see if Duan Shuangming had arrived here.
"...Quickly, we..." Hurry up and cut off the bridge...
But these words could never be uttered. He sat on the ground and stared at the distant shore with wide eyes.
Why?Duan Shuang stunned him...why is he still there?
There was only that small figure in the pupils, because it was too far apart, that figure only left a small dot deep in the eyes, but Shen Changling was kneeling on the ground, as if his body was frozen.
He was too cold to breathe.
"What are you doing? Why don't you come here quickly?" Shen Changling yelled out, feeling that his voice was trembling, and was quickly blown away by the wind.
So powerless, so small, just like his mood at the moment.
The man on the other side stood by the ropes of the wooden bridge. Behind him were the killers who had already chased him. The blood-stained frost dripped blood in his hands. Beside him was the fallen man. enemy.
But there were more enemies rushing forward, Duan Shuangming swung his long sword, and a cold light flashed, deeply piercing Shen Changling's eyes.
That person turned his head in layers of fog, and in the bloody wind, he seemed to show a smile, and then...
The long sword in his hand swung down mercilessly, and the rope tied to the bridge broke in the cold blade. The wooden bridge, which was already creaking and about to collapse, fell from one side into Bai Yunshen under Shen Changling's astonished sight. , can no longer connect.
"No!!!" He trembled and threw himself on the edge of the cliff, looking at the person opposite, stretched out his hands weakly, as if he wanted to grab something.
All this is in vain after all.
In the last sight, he saw the cyan figure on the opposite side falling from the sky like a bird with broken wings, there was no way to avoid it, and he was forced into a desperate situation after all.
There was severe pain in his head, and Shen Changling's tears had already covered his cheeks. He held his head weakly and wept in a low voice.
Some memories deeply buried in his mind spread from the depths, and he was unable to recall them now.
It always seemed like this, forever, that he would never be able to protect the person he wanted to protect.No matter who they are, they are just passers-by in time. No matter how he tries to keep them, he can only watch them slip away from his fingertips without a trace...
Under such physical and mental exhaustion, a whistling sense of desperation swept through his body along with the shattered memory. He could no longer control himself, and then passed out.
At the last moment of waking up, it seemed that someone caught him from behind.
He fell into a warm embrace.

"Oh, fortunately, the fourth brother arrived in time, otherwise that guy might really capsize..." Holding the unconscious man, Duan Xingliu passed through the fog and layers of white clouds, and saw a black figure like lightning Generally, it slides down quickly and disappears in the layers of clouds and mist in a blink of an eye.
Afterwards, that figure split through the sea of clouds like a sharp arrow, and flew up from bottom to top until it rose to the cold white sky, where it could no longer be seen clearly.
Snow fog birds are the most intelligent flying birds. They have extremely strong vitality and have the ability to fly quickly in the thin air and high altitudes. There are even rumors that they can stay in sea water for a short time.
And the last two snowfog birds on the Yunzhou Continent gathered here. Duan Yunchao sat on Xiaoxue's back, looking at Duan Shuangming, who was rescued by him at a critical moment, with a gleam in his amber eyes. Emotions are also absent.
He quickly looked at the opponent's clothes, and found that there were only stab wounds of different shades on the arms and shoulder blades, and the abrasions on the back and arms were not obvious. It is obvious that he is sleeping here now because of the many days of layout and The heart and mind are haggard under the rush.
Probably really tired?He sighed—that's right, firstly, he arranged all aspects of the layout in Litian Palace, and properly placed the four people in spring, summer, autumn and winter. The internal patrol and external search also required personnel arrangements, which required hard work.
He didn't expect that the third brother, who always seemed cynical, could actually take on all kinds of affairs and arrange everything in an orderly manner.
There was still a smile on the other party's face, as if he had fulfilled some kind of wish before he fell into a coma. This kind of smile that fulfilled his wish made Duan Yunchao ponder for a moment
He only had time to pick up the third brother who fell off the cliff, and he didn't know anything else, but...
The rope on the side of the cliff was cut off by someone, and the traces are very fresh.All the ambush killers are located on the outer side. According to the deduction, Duan Shuangming is relatively close to the cliff, so he should have a certain chance to pass here.
Duan Yunchao's pupils narrowed as his sight swept over a certain place. He quickly jumped off the back of the bird and ran towards the grass. On the edge of the cliff overgrown with yellow grass, besides the fallen corpses, there was a bright flash of light. Just now at high altitude, it was this flash that dazzled his vision.
That's actually... Liushuang!Turning the sword edge into a ribbon shape, Duan Yunchao returned to Xuewuniao and flew towards the opposite bank.
There were signs of fresh pressing in the grass, but no other signs of movement.
——If Shen Changling really stayed here, then he should have been tricked by the third brother in some way, and then the third brother cut off the rope.
The thoughts in his heart turned sharply, and after only a moment of speculation, he had almost pieced together all the truth.
However, in this case, it is impossible for Shen Changling to leave Duan Shuangming and escape by himself, this is not in line with his character.
Duan Yunchao lowered his body and observed everything with his hands behind his back.His long white hair fluttered in the air, almost blending with the mountains.
He looked back and forth at all the information left on the ground, not missing a single bit, and finally found a piece of white feather in a hidden bush with some barbs.
Looking at the long hair that floated in front of his eyes inadvertently, Duan Yunchao smiled when his eyes shifted to this piece of feathers—it turned out to be like this, it seems that he was still a step late.
No, maybe just now, there were still people here, but...
Looking at the endless white snow-capped mountains in the distance, Duan Yunchao held a feather and placed it on the top of the snow-capped mountains, the colors were exactly the same.
The same white and transparent...
"Let's go back, it seems that some internal matters must be dealt with first..." Duan Yunchao had already made a plan in his heart, and Duan Yunchao smiled calmly, but his amber eyes were filled with deepness.
Then, surrounded by mountains, he summoned all his subordinates and left with the wind.
However, Duan Xingliu, who left earlier, did not bring him back to the peaceful world. He placed Shen Changling in a quiet courtyard, watching the other party's brows still frowning in a coma, and remained silent.
If he hadn't seen Duan Canglan lying in the stone room, he probably wouldn't have guessed that that guy came to chase and kill Shen Changling again.
After hearing what the other party was muttering to himself, his complexion changed, he didn't care to call someone, and followed the feeling that Duan Canglan's dharma body was broken, he found Shen Changling.
To be able to leave the Qiming Mountains without being noticed is really a thrilling and unusual operation.
However, he had to do this because...
None of them had a choice, but this one did, this one who was involved in this dispute from the very beginning.
He looked at Shen Changling, and wanted to smile, but found that he could only show a wry smile, so he touched the corner of Shen Changling's mouth, his eyes were full of sadness——
I give you a chance to choose again, as long as you give up, you can regain a stable and stable life.
These fates that have nothing to do with you will be borne by others.
However, knowing what kind of decision you will make, I still gave you a seemingly fair choice. Is this my hypocrisy?
Duan Xingliu could only leave, shutting all the unknowns in the door.
