C573 One Slash to the Throat
Not long after, someone started walking towards them from afar. Cheng Bo jumped off the city wall in a hurry to hide his Qi so that no one would notice him.
Hiding in the dark, Cheng Bo had been waiting for a long time. When he found that there were no carriages transporting goods here, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Generally speaking, some business people in the city needed suppliers to supply the goods in their shops in the morning or at night. However, these things didn't exist. It was truly isolated from the outside world. No wonder the prices of all the things in the city kept rising. It seemed that the merchants in the city had already known about this.
However, Cheng Bo was also very confused. If the courtyard Zhang Fann mentioned was really concocting pills, Then, wouldn't they need the supply of herbs?
One should know that concocting pills consumed a lot of medicinal ingredients. As the saying goes, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Without sufficient ingredients, no matter how good the medicinal Alchemist was, it would not be able to refine high grade medicinal pills.
If that courtyard was not refining medicinal pills, then what exactly were they doing? This point really made people doubt in their hearts.
After observing for a period of time, Cheng Bo discovered that this city gate was virtually guarded to the death. Wanting to leave from here was virtually impossible. Therefore, he decided to go back first and tell Zhang Fann everything before discussing it.
Turning around, Cheng Bo was just about to use the Lightness Skill when he found a white-clothed disciple staring at him not far away.
This made Cheng Bo frown. He thought to himself, Oh no, he was discovered. He must have been too lost in his thoughts when he was looking at the city gate. That was why he didn't notice that there was someone staring at him from not far away. The most important thing right now was to get rid of him. Otherwise, Zhang Fann and the others would be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Cheng Bo pretended to walk away as if nothing had happened. He didn't seem to be in a hurry. The young man in white behind him was also following him quietly. Although he would use the cover nearby to hide himself, he had been noticed by the sharp Cheng Bo a long time ago.
After passing through two streets, Cheng Bo walked into a small road. It was very quiet here, and no one would pass by. Therefore, Cheng Bo planned to have a conversation with the other party here.
The young man in white was still following behind Cheng Bo, as if he wanted to know where Cheng Bo was staying and whether he had any helpers.
After entering the small road, Cheng Bo suddenly stopped and said to the young man in white behind him, "Friend, we have followed you all the way here. Shouldn't we meet again?"
After saying that, Cheng Bo turned around. His eagle-like eyes looked behind him and locked onto the hiding place of the young man in white.
The white-clothed youth saw that he had been discovered, so he didn't think too much about it. Since that was the case, he might as well come out and meet him. Anyway, this place was full of his fellow disciples, so he didn't dare to do anything.
"Looks like your senses are still very sharp." The white-clothed youth walked out from the shadows, the corners of his mouth curled into a sneer.
Cheng Bo looked him up and down and saw that he was tall. He had a long knife face and a thin mouth. His face was white. He was wearing a long white robe. There was a long sword hanging from his waist. He looked like a righteous man, but his eyes were full of malice.
"Why are you following me?" Cheng Bo asked the young man in white coldly.
The young man in white sneered and said to Cheng Bo, "I think your actions are very suspicious. It seems like you are not here for the pill in the city. What is your purpose?"
Cheng Bo replied, "I am indeed not interested in your pill. I am just a traveler. I passed by a precious land but was sealed in the city by accident. I want to know when I can leave this place. Is this also wrong?"
The young man in white shook his head slightly and said to Cheng Bo, "It is easy to get out of this Lau City. Since you are already here, no matter what your purpose is, you are not allowed to go out. This is our rule. If you leave, we won't have enough people. "
"Number of people?" Cheng Bo frowned when he heard that. He couldn't help but wonder what the young man in white meant.
The young man looked at Cheng Bo and said, "Don't worry. I can't tell you now. You will understand after a few days."
Cheng Bo shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent. He asked the young man, "Alright. In that case, don't follow me. I'm just curious about when I can get out."
The young man in white shook his head and said, "Not now. You are already suspicious of us. If we let you go just like that, I'm afraid you will ruin our plan. You better come with me obediently. I promise I won't hurt your life."
"Oh? What if I don't want to go with you?" Cheng Bo hated being threatened the most in his life. His eyes turned cold when he heard what the man said.
"Since you are disobedient, don't blame me for being impolite." As he spoke, the young man's right hand was already on the hilt of his sword. The smile on his face disappeared, and his face became even colder.
While Cheng Bo was speaking, he had already secretly observed the white-clothed youth in front of him. He discovered that the other party's strength was not his match. The reason why he dared to challenge him was because he had concealed his strength, causing the other party to have the misconception that his cultivation realm was similar.
Regarding this point, Cheng Bo was still confident that he could instantly kill the young man in front of him without alerting anyone.
When he thought of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Cheng Bo's eyes. He narrowed his eyes and looked at his opponent. This time, he had to make the first move. Otherwise, when the opponent attacked, there would definitely be the sound of a fight.
Just as the young man in white was about to draw his sword, suddenly, Cheng Bo's figure flashed and appeared in his hand. A long sword appeared in his hand, and he arrived in front of the young man in white.0
He raised his sword and spun it. In the blink of an eye, blood spurted out.
All of his movements were done in one go. One sword cut his throat, and his life disappeared in a flash of the sword light.
The eyes of the young man in white widened. There was a look of disbelief in his eyes. There was no pain at all. He didn't even see how Cheng Bo attacked. A sword mark had already appeared on his throat. Blood was gushing out like a fountain.
After doing all this, Cheng Bo put away the sword in his hand. Without looking at the young man in white, his figure flashed and disappeared from the path.
