Chapter 4: Encounter in the Water (Part II)

Zhennan, City God Temple. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The moon shadow is hazy, the starlight is sympathetic, the light smoke is wisps, and the subtlety is lingering. Tianming and Ling'er were each leaning on either side of a pillar and were resting.

……

"The country of Yan in winter is the most beautiful place in the world," Yue'er's voice echoed in Tianming's ears like a silver bell, "In the deepest days of winter, the sky will snow heavily for a whole month, turning everything around you into a silver-like world, the mountains in the distance, the palaces in the near distance, are all pure white ......"

A trace of catkins rose and fell in the wind, and it fell on Tianming's face with a slight itch. Tianming opened his eyes and rubbed his nose with his hand, only to realize that he was dreaming just now, and he missed Yue'er again. He shifted his body and lay himself down, but his mind was still full of thoughts, and it was difficult to fall asleep for a while.

Suddenly, Tianming seemed to hear something, and his brows tightened. "That's right, it's footsteps, and it's rushed." Tianming said in his heart. It's so late, who could it be that you just passed by the roof of the City God Temple? Tianming was still lying there without moving, holding the non-attack tightly in his hand.

The footsteps were very light, as if they were from a woman's light work. Tianming continued to listen intently, and was ready to fight at any time. "No, there are footsteps behind me," Tianming pondered in his heart as he listened, "It seems that they are chasing this woman, and neither she nor them are coming for me or Ling'er." Thinking of this, Tianming breathed a sigh of relief. Before leaving, the uncle and Xiao Gao explained that they must be calm in case of trouble, plan everything and move later, and don't get involved in irrelevant disputes and cause unnecessary trouble. Tianming thought to himself, after a day's journey, he was already very tired, as long as these people did not disturb himself and Ling'er in the City God Temple, they would go, and they would just sleep well and not be nosy.

However, when the woman's figure flashed through the small window at the head of the wall, Tianming's sleepy eyes, which were about to close, widened suddenly, and he only heard his heart "chuckle".

Yue'er!

A woman dressed in a night outfit holds a short sword in each hand, running in front with light skills, turning sharply, dodging, and leaping from time to time, although her steps are light, her breathing is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems that she should have internal injuries. Not far behind her, four men in black masked black scarves chased after her, and once they caught up, they would slash the woman with a knife, putting the woman to death.

Suddenly, I saw one of the men in black reach out and take out a hidden weapon from his pocket, and threw it at the woman running in front of him with a "whoosh".

The woman kept her balance with a horizontal sword in front of her, and returned the sword with the other hand to the back of the flying hidden weapon, however, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the second, third, and fourth hidden weapons followed suit, the speed was fast, the angle was dangerous, and the darkness of the night walk, for a while, the short sword woman was overwhelmed, and she could only barely protect herself from being hit in a few key points, but she had already messed up, and the distance between her and the man in black was getting closer and closer.

Seeing that she was about to be caught up, but her internal injuries were getting worse, she couldn't help but feel anxious. Suddenly, there was a loud noise in front of him, and two more men in black flew up to the eaves, forming a front and back attack with the four people behind. I saw the two men in black standing side by side, each holding one end and pulling up an iron rope, and stopped in front of the woman with two swords. Obviously, if the woman wanted to fly up and cross the iron cable, she would have to take off into the air, so that she would be completely exposed to the hidden weapon of the man in black behind her, and there would be nowhere to hide; If you want to lower yourself and slide under the iron cable, you will inevitably fall into the courtyard under the wall, and when the six men in black surround the hospital together, you will undoubtedly become a turtle in the urn, and it is also a lot of luck.

There was no other way, she had to make a choice. Just as the iron rope was about to meet her, the woman with the two swords leaned over, and when she leaned back, she took out her hand and pushed out a sword, which was piercing the throat of a man in black who was chasing after her, and at the same time slid under the iron rope and landed impartially in the center of the courtyard below.

The black-clothed man who was hit by the sword also fell heavily into the courtyard due to inertia and was killed on the spot. The other five stood on the surrounding wall and surrounded the small courtyard.

The injured woman held the ground with her left hand, held the only remaining short sword in her right hand, and stared at the five black-clothed men with a fierce light in her eyes, mixed with a hint of despair.

The five black-clothed men each pulled out their scimitars and swung the chains attached to the back of the scimitars, forming a five-person net knife array.

Over the years, this organization has woven an invisible giant net within the Seven Kingdoms, absorbing a large number of death row prisoners and wandering swordsmen, and training them to become deadly stingers, always waiting for the prey to fall into the net. The net knife formation is one of the most dangerous formations in this organization, it is composed of two or three people at least, and can be composed of dozens or even a hundred people, and the number of chapters in each middle road is ever-changing, and it is difficult for ordinary people to easily crack it in a short period of time, so most of the prey trapped in the net knife formation can only be a dying struggle, and finally they will die under the knife.

This is a very small courtyard, the length and width are only a few feet, so in the courtyard, there is no blind spot of the net knife array, and there is nowhere to hide. The standing position of the five men in black happened to seal all angles of jumping out of the courtyard. It seems that this hunt has come to an end.

The first scimitar spun and flung over, and the injured woman ducked her face sideways, reaching out to grab the chain behind the knife, but the second scimitar had already pierced out and was flying towards her elbow. The woman was stunned, and hurriedly withdrew her hand, and as soon as she turned around and took two steps, a third scimitar suddenly hooked her legs from the side. She hurriedly swung the short sword, and split the third scimitar sideways, but was hit by the fourth flying scimitar right on the sword, and the injured woman only felt a numbness on her wrist, and the short sword fell out of her hand, and before she could reach out to pick it up, the fifth scimitar had already blocked her steps, and almost slashed the woman's shoulder.

The five men in black pulled up their chains at the same time, preparing to launch a second round of attack.

Just as the injured woman closed her eyes and waited for death to come, a voice of "Stop!" Suddenly it came from the night.
