Chapter 74: Master and Apprentice

1.

Shi Lin raised his knife and swung it at the man's neck. Suddenly, he heard the sound of "bell", and something reached out from the side to hold his long knife, but it was a jade flute as white as snow.

I saw that Ling Ying had come here at some point, he waved the jade flute "Flying Snow" with one hand to block the long knife, and with the other hand to catch the black-clothed man who was caught in the acupoint. Unexpectedly, when he touched it, the man's figure staggered, and he fell straight down.

Ling Ying was stunned when he saw this, and looked back at Shi Lin, who was still holding a knife. Shi Lin hurriedly threw the knife away, waved his hand again and again, and said: "Don't look at me, I didn't do anything! The knife just now didn't want to kill him, but just wanted to scare him, and you stopped him before he could make a move." ”

Ling Ying frowned, these people definitely didn't come to assassinate Lin Xiao for no reason, most of them were instructed by others, and it is not yet known who the person who is manipulating behind the scenes. He was afraid that this man had some poison in his mouth, and if he swallowed it, the clue to this matter would be broken.

Thinking of this, Ling Ying squatted down to check what was wrong with the man, only to see that his eyes were turned up, his face was pale and bloodless, obviously frightened by Shi Lin's knife just now, but after feeling his pulse, he found that his body was normal, except for his ugly face, there was no sign of poisoning.

Ling Ying was feeling strange, and suddenly smelled a faint fishy smell, and couldn't help frowning, covering his nose, and turned to Shi Lin in a sullen voice and asked, "What kind of smell is this?"

Shi Lin looked at the ground for a long time, then stretched out his finger and gently pointed at the man in black who had fallen, and said, "This person ...... It's like being scared to pee!"

Ling Ying was stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at the man in black, he just cared about seeing if that person had committed suicide by taking poison, and all he touched was the pulse of his neck and wrist, where would he care about what was going on with the other party's lower body. At this moment, he looked down, and only then did he realize that a yellow liquid was spreading from the crotch of the man in black.

Seeing this, Ling Ying immediately gassed in place—he thought it was so abnormal that the other party had fainted, and he even committed suicide by taking poison; he didn't think about it at all, he just fainted in fright.

Shi Lin laughed heartily, laughing so much that tears flowed out, and his face was full of the expression of "treacherous plan succeeded".

On the other side, the black-clothed man who was fighting with Lin Xiao saw at a glance that the situation was wrong, and he subconsciously wanted to capture Lin Xiao as a hostage in exchange for a companion, but Lin Xiao was much more difficult to deal with than he imagined, and he could only barely make a draw with him at the moment.

Lin Xiao's swordsmanship was taught by Ye Wuxin and Hongchen, and after recovering his memory, his cultivation also improved, and after the swordsmanship was opened, he couldn't splash water, and the evil spirit on the Biluo sword was rolling, how could the steel cone in the black-clothed man's hand resist the enemy. After the two fought more than a dozen moves, the situation had already reversed - it was originally the man in black who assassinated Lin Xiao, but now it has become Lin Xiao pressing the man in black step by step.

These two men in black are actually masters and apprentices: the one who holds the steel cone is the master, and the one who was scared by Shi Lin's calculations is the apprentice. The task of the master and apprentice tonight was originally to follow Lin Xiao and find his residence in the Forbidden City. Unexpectedly, Shi Lin first noticed that they were following, and then Lin Xiao sensed their location with the "Heaven and Earth Net Technique". When Lin Xiao raised his head to look at them, the master and apprentice knew that they had been exposed, and they were afraid that the other party would make any moves, so they decided to strike first.

It's just that what they don't know is that Lin Xiao raised his head that time, although he said that he had received the fluctuation feedback from the "Tianluo Net", but it was the first time he had cast this spell since he recovered his memory, and he only figured it out by himself with his memory, and he was not so confident in whether the spell would work. The moment he looked up, most of the ingredients were out of temptation, if the master and apprentice could continue to lurk patiently, Lin Xiao would feel that his perception was wrong, and it was safe for them.

It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now, the apprentice has been taken down by Shi Lin who "pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger", and the master has no problem with Lin Xiao. The two originally set up a game of "catching turtles in an urn", but they were forced to make it "difficult to ride a tiger"; if they knew Lin Xiao's thoughts when he looked up at that time, the master and apprentice might vomit blood and die on the spot.

The master glanced at his apprentice who had fallen to the ground and was already scared to pee out of the corner of his eye—Shi Lin was riding on top of him, tying him around with a Dingyun rope like a zongzi, and he almost didn't wrap him with another layer of zongzi leaves. The master couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said in his heart: "Apprentice...... Please forgive me for being incompetent, I really can't save you! You just stay in their hands for a while longer, anyway, the people of the Xianmen and the Sword Sect have no custom of abusing prisoners, so you can stay in peace. When the teacher goes back and finds a helper, he will come to save you!"

Thinking of this, the man in black let out a long roar, danced the steel cone with one hand to make a move "Full Moon West Building", blocked Lin Xiao's Biluo, and then reached out with his other hand, stretched into his arms, felt out a bag of unknown things, waved his hand, and a handful of white powder was sprinkled from his palm. Lin Xiao saw the ball of powder coming to his face, and he didn't know whether the thing was poisonous or not, so he hurriedly took advantage of the momentum to kick away and distance himself from the other party.

The white powder is colorless, odorless, and not toxic, but it will charm the eyes, and it can generally come in handy when covering the retreat. As soon as the black-clothed assassin made a successful move, he jumped out of the enveloping range of Lin Xiao's sword qi and jumped onto the roof.

Lin Xiao saw that he was about to escape, so he shouted behind him: "Who, don't go, you don't want your companion anymore, right?!"

The man in black glanced at his apprentice again, and thought, "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood." He ignored Lin Xiao's words, turned around and left.

Who knew that Lin Xiao shouted loudly behind him again: "I advise you to come back and explain everything clearly, then let's confess and be lenient, otherwise we will let the professionals arrest you back - I'll count three!"

"Who the believes you!" the man in black secretly spat and ran in the opposite direction without stopping.

"Three!" Lin Xiao really began to count.

The man in black walked all the way forward without even looking back.

Lin Xiao was full of anger, and then another voice came: "Two!" The voice came out from afar, lingering in the ears of the man in black.

The man in black quickened his pace, and it seemed that he didn't take Lin Xiao's words seriously at all.

"One! It's the last chance, it's too late to regret it now!" Lin Xiao's voice came again.

The man in black suddenly panicked for no reason, feeling that this was not a normal threat pattern, could it be that someone would really chase him back?! Thinking of this, he was stunned, and began to run wildly with the fastest speed in his life.

2.

"Zero! You're finished!" Lin Xiao's voice sounded for the last time.

As soon as the words fell, the man in black heard a sound of footsteps behind him, at first it was just far and near, as if it were nothing, and then gradually became clearer and clearer, and if he listened carefully, he was only three or five steps away from him.

The man in black was so frightened that he didn't dare to look back to see who was catching up, so he could only run forward desperately. But as soon as he had fear in his heart, his feet involuntarily softened, and his steps gradually became vain. Before he could run two more steps, a strong wind suddenly hit his back heart behind him, and the man in black hurriedly dodged to the side, only to see a young man in a black power suit rushing past from his position just now, and then stopped in front of him in a flash, his face was cold, and he stared at him.

It's not Lin Xiao, it's not Shi Lin, it's not Ling Ying.

It's a long wind!

The man in black was furious when he saw it, and he didn't know whether this cold child was a human or a ghost, so he didn't have time to think about it in a hurry, so he simply picked up the steel cone and stabbed it into the other party's heart.

The steel cone pierced the position about an inch in front of the heart, and the other party held it tightly, and Changfeng grabbed the tip of the steel cone, even if the man in black used his strength, it was difficult to shake it. He looked at the steel cone in his hand and smiled coldly, his internal force was transported, and his true qi traveled to the two acupoints of "Neiguan" and "Waiguan" on his wrist, and he shook violently. The black-clothed man's entire arm suddenly became sore, and he let go of the steel cone when he took it off.

The man in black looked at Changfeng in horror, the young man in front of him was feminine and feminine, walking like a ghost, making it impossible to see his whereabouts, but when he made a move, he had a pure yang domineering aura, as heavy as Mount Tai, and the oppression made people breathless. The two forces of one yin and one yang are blended in the same body, which is really incredible. Such an opponent is several times more terrifying than Lin Xiao!

The man in black has lived to the present in his life, and he has performed not a hundred but eighty tasks, but this is the first time he feels the fear of being dominated. If you want to say that he can deal with Lin Xiao, he is okay, but if you want to deal with the cold-faced young man in front of you, I am afraid that it will never be possible.

At this time, the man in black thought of the poison on his teeth.

Ling Ying's previous conjecture was not wrong: these assassins and killers were all equipped with poison on their bodies, and once the assassination mission failed, they could not escape with their whole body, and in order to protect the secrets of the organization, they would choose to swallow poison and commit suicide. The apprentice who was scared to pee actually had this poison used to commit suicide on his body, which was a capsule, tied to the inside of his sleeve, as long as he bit through the clothing, the poison could naturally flow into his mouth and poison the person to death.

In fact, according to conventional practice, such poison is tethered to the position of the teeth. But as a master, I was worried that the apprentice who went out on a mission for the first time would be too nervous when he acted, and if he accidentally broke the capsule with a cracked tooth, it would be the end of the game, so he tied it to his sleeve. It's a pity that the apprentice is still an apprentice in the end, and he was made to death by others as soon as he came up, and he didn't even have a chance to commit suicide by swallowing poison, so he was scared and fainted.

At that moment, the man in black saw that he couldn't resist the enemy, so he turned his heart sideways, and wanted to bite the capsule on his teeth and commit suicide by taking poison. Who knew that as soon as he turned this thought, Changfeng suddenly rushed forward with an arrow step, stretched out his hand and pinched his chin, and with a little luck in his hand, he only heard a "click" sound, and directly dislocated his chin.

The man in black was so painful that his scalp was numb, and he couldn't close his mouth for a while, and his mouth was full of saliva dripping down. Changfeng ripped the curtain off his face, stretched out his finger to his mouth, dug out the capsule containing the poison, and then grabbed his chin and pulled it away, and with another crisp "click", his dislocated chin was repositioned. The man in black rolled to the ground, clutching his chin tossed back and forth, and opened his mouth to spit it out.

Changfeng didn't leave much time for the other party to slow down, and before the man in black could finish vomiting, he grabbed the back collar of his clothes with one hand and lifted him up. The man in black was tall and naturally not light, but Changfeng carried him in his hand smoothly, and returned the same way with light work, looking unaffected at all.

Lin Xiao had already been waiting in the original place, and Ye Wuxin had already arrived at the scene. The "apprentice" who was "tricked" by Shi Lin was already awake at this moment, holding his urine-soaked pants, curled up on the ground, and was tied up by Dingyun Suo.

Changfeng carried the "master", flew over, and with a wave of his hand, he threw the person he was carrying on the ground, as if he was just carrying a sandbag. The master and apprentice suddenly rolled into two balls on the ground, and at first glance, there was only the difference between tied and untied.

"I told you a long time ago. Lin Xiao clapped his hands, squatted down beside the black-clothed man who was the master, and said with a smile: "You said how good it was that you just walked back by yourself, but you want me to ask someone to chase you back, not to mention that you have to fall like this, why bother?!"

"Little ...... "The black-clothed man was so angry that he scolded, but he had just been removed from his jaw by Changfeng, and then forcibly pulled it back, and he was sweating in pain at the moment, and the words he scolded were naturally vague.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "What about you, don't be too concerned." For someone like you who is an assassin and engages in assassination, you should always know about the Soul Chasing Pavilion in the first floor. Even the 'ghost envoys' they sent out couldn't kill me, and you two crooked melons and cracked dates also want to mess with me, and you don't weigh yourself—are you worthy?!"

The man in black opened his mouth and gasped for a long time, and finally gasped for the turbid breath held in his chest, and immediately said: "Soul Chasing Pavilion? Those guys who play ghost ways are also worthy of being compared to us? ! Today, our master and apprentice are planted in your hands, and our skills are not as good as others; but don't be too happy, sooner or later, the 'old family' will send another good hand to take your dog's life!"

"Really, my 'dog's life' is not as easy to receive as you think. Lin Xiao sneered: "But I'm quite interested in what you just said, can you tell me that the 'hometown' in your mouth refers to that organization or the headquarters of the institution?"

The man in black replied categorically: "You are dreaming!"

Lin Xiao smiled: "It's okay if you don't say it, someone will always tell me anyway!" Before the words fell, he suddenly stretched out a finger and hit the dumb hole on the man in black, making him speechless; ”

The apprentice glanced at his master's gaze from the corner of his eye, swallowed, and said hesitantly, "Don't you ...... Don't ask, I'...... I don't ...... anything Won't say!"

Lin Xiao smiled: "Don't worry, I didn't plan to ask you about your 'hometown', I just wanted to ask-do you know who she is?"

The "apprentice" shook his head, he faced Ye Wuxin's cold gaze, only to feel that his heart was like falling into an ice cellar, and suddenly the whole person froze, with a frightened look on his face.

Lin Xiao asked again: "Then do you know - 'Sword Idiot' Ye Wuxin?"

The "apprentice" nodded when he heard this, the name of the "sword idiot" Ye Wuxin, as long as there was a person with long ears in the quadruple building, he had heard of her name. It's just that Ye Wuxin has been living in the Ethereal City since the fission of heaven and earth happened, so everyone in the quadruple building in the current era has heard of Ye Wuxin's name, but no one has seen Ye Wuxin's face.

But this apprentice is obviously not the kind of fool who has no brains, Lin Xiao's two questions sound unrelated, but if they are connected, then the implication is obvious enough. The "apprentice" reacted after nodding, and the horror on his face instantly deepened a little, and his speech became even more stammering: "She, she, she...... It is...... Sword Sword Sword ...... Sword idiot?!" said his eyes began to turn white again, and he looked like he was about to faint again.

Although Lin Xiao didn't know what kind of crime "splitting heaven and earth" was, he heard Ye Wuxin and them vaguely mention it to him: Because of this incident, there are many people who have offended. Therefore, he knew that these two assassins must have been sent by the people of the Quadruple Building to assassinate him, and their purpose should be out of revenge, if nothing else, and most of these people got some news from the previous incident with Li Zhou, so they began to make a lot of small moves.

If you want to kill yourself, Ethereal City and Ziyang Divine Sect should be regarded as two major obstacles. It's just that Ling Ying, as the "immortal head" of the hundred schools of the Immortal Gate, has to take into account the overall situation of the Immortal Gate in everything, so he can only give support in some painless things, and it is impossible to lead the Ziyang Divine Sect and the entire Immortal Sect to do it openly.

And Ethereal City, as the first major sect of the Sword Sect, Ye Wuxin is notoriously unreasonable, and she was born in the Demon Sect, she has always been ruthless and resolute to outsiders, and her methods are more or less ruthless, so on the whole, Ye Wuxin is the real biggest obstacle.

This assassination operation must be carried out by avoiding Ye Wuxin, otherwise the people of the Sichong Building would have already risen in groups, so why let these assassins engage in this kind of sneaky tracking and assassination. It's just that they just arrived in the capital like Lin Xiao, and this is the first day of the mission, so they bumped into Lin Xiao in the night market, and seeing that he was not followed by a woman, they thought that Ye Wuxin was not by his side this time, but in a few moments, they directly pulled out the person they were most afraid of.

Lin Xiao knew that this group of people must be jealous of Ye Wuxin, but he didn't expect that the word "jealous" was only for people whose identity and strength were comparable to those of "sword idiots", such as the dustless Taoist leader in Penglai. And for these nameless little killers, it is not called "fear", but "fear" from the bottom of the heart!

"Eh~ What are you fainting about!" Lin Xiao hurriedly pinched this person's "human acupoint", but he didn't let him turn his eyes over again, and he couldn't help but slander Ye Wuxin's reputation in his heart is really big, this time he can scare people to death, and next time he may be able to scare people back to life!

The coward who was an apprentice could pee his pants even when Lin raised a knife to scare him, and suddenly the three words "Ye Wuxin" directly pressed at him, directly scaring him so much that he couldn't even pee. He grew up and said "ahhhh

The man blushed and "ahh

"Black Yarn...... We are the people of the 'Black Gauze Gate'!"
