Chapter 323: Cat and Mouse
Lizhou, Huoyun City, Red Leaf Villa!
At this time, Wen Hongyu, Lu Yan, Gu Heng, Meng Chang, Ding Yunjie, Liang Huaji and others gathered in the hall, their expressions were solemn, as if something big had happened.
"How's it going?" Wen Hongyu was the first to break the silence and asked.
"Last night, the Praetorian Guards killed thirty-three people, all of them with a single sword, and they saw blood seal their throats. Lu Yan said in a deep voice.
"What? So many people have died, and in just a few days, we have killed more than a hundred people, but we can't even see the shadow of the murderer, what is going on?" Liang Huaji exclaimed in shock.
Everyone was silent again, and the atmosphere was eerie.
After they separated from Jiang Yi in Xichuan, they returned to the Red Leaf Villa the same way, and in this villa, they swallowed jade liquid, retreated and practiced penance, and strived to break through their cultivation as soon as possible and be reborn.
Originally, everything was calm and peaceful, but just a few days ago, the people they sent to Huoyun City to purchase items actually disappeared.
I went out in the morning and never came back, as if the world had evaporated.
Then, overnight, more than a dozen people died in the Red Leaf Villa, and they were silently plotted, sneak attacked, killed, and killed with one blow, and they didn't even have time to call for help or scream, and the body was only found the next morning.
In the days that followed, nightmares ensued, and every night, people died, ranging from a few to dozens.
Several of them also stopped cultivating, and kept watch at night, waiting for the arrival of the murderer, and then capturing and killing him.
Unfortunately, after a few days of guarding, nothing was gained, and the next morning, the body was still found.
There were more than 1,000 Praetorian Guards, and in just a few days, more than 100 people died, and the entire Red Leaf Villa was suddenly shrouded in a huge panic, and everyone was in danger and trembling.
As a result, some people couldn't bear the fear of death and fled from Momiji Mountain Villa without permission and disappeared.
As for whether it is life or death, and what the fate is, it is unknown.
Now there are less than 700 people left in the Red Leaf Villa.
"It's the assassins of the Shadow Killing Tower, who secretly assassinated these people and came to take revenge on us. Wen Hongyu said suddenly.
"Yes, it must be the assassin of the Shadow Killing Building, otherwise how could he be so insidious and vicious, killing people silently, leaving no trace, otherwise he will be besieged by us, and he can continue to do evil?"
Gu Heng nodded, completely agreeing with Wen Hongyu's words, and said coldly.
This method of killing people was indeed done by the assassins of the Shadow Killing Building.
Shadow Killing Lou has killed so many assassins in Red Leaf Villa, and there are two silver medal assassins among them, how can they give up and just forget it?
However, they didn't expect that Jiang Yidu was no longer in Red Leaf Villa, and the assassins of the Shadow Killing Building were actually targeting them.
Against all odds!
And it is really unbearable to take such despicable means, only killing people and not showing their faces, and there is nowhere to vent their anger.
They are not afraid of hard-to-face confrontations, but they can't stand this kind of vicious assassination.
"Now that the Shadow Killing Building has established a cooperative relationship with Muwang Palace, in any respect, he will definitely not let us go, but this person specializes in assassinating those Praetorian Guards, and does not come to assassinate us, is it because of his lack of strength, and he is not absolutely sure to assassinate us, or what's going on?"
Meng Chang's face was puzzled, and he couldn't figure it out.
"It is very likely that this person is only the vanguard of the Shadow Killing Building, and his strength must not be high, it is possible that he is only a bronze assassin, and he already knows that Wen Hongyu and Big Brother Lu Yan have broken Tianyuan, been reborn, and their cultivation has reached the innate realm, so they are afraid and dare not come to assassinate us, only those weak Praetorian Guards. ”
Ding Yunjie expressed his opinion.
During this time, relying on the jade liquid given to them by Jiang Yi, they cultivated day and night, and everyone's strength improved by leaps and bounds.
Wen Hongyu and passers-by have climbed to the sky in one step, achieved a huge breakthrough, and successfully cultivated the first step of rebirth in the innate realm.
And several other people, all of them have cultivated to the peak of the third step of the martial arts master's invincibility, and have opened up more than eighty meridians, which is not far from being reborn.
"A few of us join forces, even if it is a master with more than thirty times the potential of the first step of rebirth, even if it is a master with more than thirty times the potential, no matter how powerful the assassin of the Shadow Killing Building is, how can he dare to collide with us?"
Liang Huaji exuded a strong momentum all over his body, and the spirit above his head soared to the sky, showing a strong potential: "I see that this person is assassinating while waiting for the Shadow Killing Tower, or the master of the Muwang Palace to come, and then come to deal with a few of us." ”
The words of several people are very reasonable and completely explained.
Because after their careful observation and examination of the fatal wounds on the corpses, it was determined that the assassination was carried out by the same person, and that there was no second assassin.
An assassin is inevitably a little weak.
A few of them are not soft persimmons that can be manipulated by others, with Wen Hongyu and Lu Yan, two innate masters, in charge, how easy is it to assassinate?
"I thought of a terrible thing, I wonder if you have ever heard of the story of cat and mouse?" At this moment, Wen Hongyu said again, her expression seemed to think that things were not as simple as few people imagined.
"When a cat catches a mouse, it will not eat it immediately as long as there is no one of its kind to snatch it, but will first play with the prey in its palm, and will eat it until the prey is exhausted and desperate. ”
"You mean......" When Lu Yan heard this, he immediately understood, and was immediately shocked.
Hiss......
In the hall, there was also a sound of cold air gasping immediately, everyone was not a fool, how could they not understand what Wen Hongyu meant?
"If that's the case, then we're in danger this time. Gu Heng's expression was extremely solemn, and he felt a smell of something wrong.
"Whether it is or not, this Red Leaf Villa has become an abyss, full of dangers, we can't stay any longer, we immediately gather people and horses, rush out, even if there is really a powerful master in the Shadow Killing Building, we also have a glimmer of life. ”
Lu Yan immediately decided.
"Alright, that's it, without further ado, we'll go gather the men now. Gu Heng nodded.
Immediately, everyone got up and prepared to go back and clean up and leave Momiji Villa.
Yes!
But at this moment, a scream came in from outside, and it seemed that the people of the Praetorian Guard were in danger.
"What's wrong?"
The faces of several people changed, and they immediately rushed out of the hall and fell into the huge courtyard.
Sure enough, I saw that in the courtyard, more than a dozen Praetorian Guard soldiers were picked off and their tendons were broken and collapsed on the ground, and there were five people standing next to them, all very young, four men and one woman.
The only woman among them was dressed in black, with an ordinary appearance, but her face was full of cruel color, and her lips were painted black, looking eerie and terrifying.
Her outfit is very similar to the silver medal assassin who came to Red Leaf Villa to assassinate her, Qiao Mei, and is obviously an assassin in the Shadow Killing Building, but she is much stronger than Qiao Mei, and she is full of real anger, and she is a gold medal assassin.
In her hand, she held a long sword, pointing at the heart of a soldier.
"Stop!" Lu Yan immediately shouted.
"About everyone is here, it's good, it's good......" She looked at Wen Hongyu, Lu Yan and the others, and then laughed gloomily, and with a movement of her palm, the long sword immediately cut through the soldier's clothes and slowly stabbed into her chest.
Yes!
The young soldier was only in the realm of building a foundation and shaping his body, and his hands and feet had been broken and his muscles and veins had been broken, and he had been wailing incessantly, which seemed very painful, but now it was even more painful, and he screamed again and again.
The cold weapon slowly pierced into the flesh, you can clearly feel the traces of life passing little by little, and you can see that death is beckoning to you, wanting to resist, but you can't.
Eventually, the soldier died, his heart pierced by the sword, blood spilled out, and his death was horrific.
This scene is creepy and chills down the spine.
"You should be damned!" Lu Yan watched his subordinates being killed by such cruel means, his face was suddenly full of rage, he couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately rushed forward, condensed his true qi, and blasted out with a punch.
He had already determined that the assassins who had infiltrated the Red Leaf Villa in the past few days and assassinated those Praetorian Guards were none other than this woman.
This is the assassin of the Shadow Killing Building, who is simply mad and inhumane.
"I have just cultivated the first step of rebirth in the Innate Realm, and I have twenty-three times the potential, not bad, not bad, but unfortunately I am not my opponent at all. ”
The woman did not panic in the face of Lu Yan's rage, but in her eyes, a cold light suddenly flashed, and she immediately pulled out a long sword from the chest of the Praetorian Guard soldier, and it was a sword stab.
Phew!
This sword, extremely fast, immediately landed on Lu Yan's fist, the cold light flashed, the Dao edge bloomed, and suddenly the true qi on the fist was immediately pierced and shattered.
Lu Yan's body immediately retreated, and on the back of his hand, there was a deep sword mark, and the bones could be clearly seen, and they were bloody.
If he hadn't dodged in time, this palm would have been gone.
"Twenty-eight times the potential!" his face was solemn, and he looked at the woman deadly.
This woman is also the first step of rebirth in the innate realm, but she has been cultivated for some time, has twenty-eight times the potential, her true qi is very strong, and her swordsmanship is superb, which is extraordinary.
I'm afraid it's really like Wen Hongyu said, this person is playing a game of cat and mouse.
"I've assassinated so many people in the past few days, and I haven't done anything to you, just to make you feel the fear of death?
She spoke.
