Chapter 1668: Fatal Blow
Bang.
There was an explosion, like thunder, and the sword fell to the ground, flying sand and rocks......
You Xi Sword is the sword of the Qin general Bai Qi, which was obtained in the ruins of Chang'an, Ye Shikai never expected that he would be able to really return to the Qin Dynasty, You Xi Sword contains a fierce and evil spirit, and the murderous spirit is extremely heavy, and Mi Wen on the side stared at this "artifact", with a faint look of horror on his face.
The sword fell, the dirt and stones on the ground splashed in the air, and everyone couldn't see what was happening in front of them clearly, Ye Shikai took out the Youxi Sword, and even the speed of his body was several times faster, and everyone could only see the afterimage.
"What's wrong. ”
"What happened. ”
The dirt and dust in the air dissipated, and everyone slowly stepped forward, and the black-clothed killer had fallen to the ground, bleeding from all over the body, and up close it was beyond recognition.
Ye Shikai held his sword on the ground, supported his body, and gasped for breath, this was a fatal blow, consuming a lot of his internal strength, so calculated, if he could only hold a sword to resist the enemy, he might not be able to hold out for ten minutes, as an extremely murderous "artifact", not any cultivator can use it, Ye Shikai is already a top master among cultivators, but it is still difficult to control, it can be seen how powerful Bai Qi was at that time.
"Are you alright? Mi Wen put away the hanging sword and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
"Don't worry, it's just that the internal force consumption is a bit large, just rest for a while. Ye Shikai breathed a few breaths and recovered some of his internal strength slightly, in the final analysis, it is not that he is too weak, it is really that this weapon is not available to "masters", such a top treasure can become a god, and evil can become a demon, but whether it is good or evil, a god or a demon, it is only worthy of the "strongest".
"There may be assassins in the woods, be careful. Ye Shikai reminded, the rest of the guards hurriedly guarded Mi Wen, and slowly left, these people have obviously been planning for a long time, waiting here, and bringing such a strong killer, one assassination can't be successful, maybe there is a second wave.
Drive, drive, drive......
At this time, a team of cavalry also came from Far EasTone Telecommunications, and everyone was shocked, thinking that it was the cavalry of the assassins, but not to mention, everyone saw the big word "Chu" on the banner.
"The commander of the cavalry team defending the city of Linxiang City, see the lord. The leading general hurriedly dismounted, knelt down on one knee in front of Mi Wen, and when he saw that it was his own troops, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"We are attacked in the woods, you send some men and horses to escort us back to the city, and the rest of the men hurry to pursue. Miwen ordered.
"Well, the last will go. The leading general sent hundreds of cavalry escorting the guards into the city, while the rest of the men threw themselves into the woods in pursuit of the Assassins.
It was not so much that Ye Shikai escorted Mi Wen, but that she "escorted" Ye Shikai into the city, in the fierce battle just now, Mi Wen was unharmed, but Ye Shikai consumed a lot of internal strength.
"Are you alright? ”
"Don't worry, I said it, just rest for a while. Ye Shikai took out a few pills from the storage ring and swallowed them in one go, these were all good things he had saved before, but unfortunately he used a little less now, so he also used them sparingly.
"The killing moves used by these assassins are the same, they should be the martial arts of the same sect or organization, so I speculate that these cultivators are a group of killers, not a temporary group of cultivators, as for the master...... He is not in league with the other Assassins, and may have been specially invited to deal with you by the masterminds behind the scenes. Ye Shikai analyzed.
"That's right, I also found out that such a domineering and demonic martial art is indeed very human, if the two of us join forces, it will be fine, but if we fight him alone, it may really take a lot of work. Mi Wen said lightly, turned his head up, and looked at him solemnly, "Who do you think will do it?" ”
"I don't know, they didn't say a word during the fight, and I can't tell who they are by their accents. Ye Shikai shook his head and said.
"You have restored the country in Chudi, and you have defeated the soldiers and horses of the imperial court several times in succession, so you and I must be a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the imperial court, but judging from the arrows shot today, this group of people should be aimed at you. Ye Shikai analyzed, if the main messenger behind the scenes wanted to kill the two of them, I am afraid that more than one master would be sent over.
"Earlier you said that this is a professional team of assassins, could it be that the imperial court sent it from Xianyang. Mi Wen asked rhetorically.
"I'm afraid not, Xianyang is thousands of miles away from Linxiang, and dozens of assassins have lurked in the mountains and rivers, and they have to hide from the garrisons in various places, which is simply impossible. ”
"Could it be...... It was an Assassin group in Chudi. Qi Wen said coldly, "Not too many people will know the time and place of our hunting, and these assassins have already laid an ambush in advance, which means that our internal people want to assassinate me." Mi Wen's tone was very cold, if it was really as she said, it was a traitor inside, and he even dared to poison Mi Wen himself.
"Even if it is really a local assassin group, it may not be planned by our internal people, perhaps, the imperial court has spent a lot of money to hire a local assassin group, and this possibility cannot be ruled out, so that they do not need to send killers from Xianyang to travel long distances. Ye Shikai continued.
......................................................
Back in the city, everyone returned directly to the official mansion, which was heavily guarded, Ye Shikai was worried that those assassins would attack on the road, and he didn't dare to be careless along the way, until he entered the official mansion, he was relieved.
"Quick, call the doctor. ”
"Wow. ”
"You're alright, I'll let the doctor come over. Qi Wen said with concern.
"It's just an internal injury, just recuperate, you better let the doctor heal the seriously injured brothers first, their injuries are very serious. Ye Shikai waved his hand and asked the doctors to all step back.
"By the way, lord, don't tell Ling Er about this attack. Ye Shikai said suddenly.
"Why, are you worried that Miss He will worry about you because of this? Qi Wen smiled slyly.
"After all, it's a woman's family, and she's very sensitive to fighting and killing, and if you tell her, I'll have to spend a lot of time comforting her. Ye Shikai sighed and said lightly.
"Okay, then you have to promise me one condition. Mi Wen raised an index finger.
"What, there are conditions, I still owe you two conditions, besides, it's just a matter of keeping Ling Er secret. Ye Shikai rolled his eyes, he always felt that Mi Wen was taking advantage of him.
"Don't worry, it's just a favor for you, and it won't be that difficult. Miwen continued, "Your saber ...... Tell me about your origins. ”
"Ahem, this ...... I'm afraid not, I've promised that old-timer to keep his mouth shut and not leak secrets. ”
