Chapter 20: Rising in Battle

Walking slowly on the narrow path in the middle of the night, Ning Yue's sense of uneasiness became more and more intense, compared to the previous nights, today seemed to be too quiet, deathly silent.

"Not true. It stands to reason that there should be guards patrolling at night, right?"

He muttered, and at this moment, he really saw two guards standing in the dim corner of the wall not far away, and hurriedly stepped forward and beckoned: "Excuse me, do you have the ...... that is looking at me?"

Suddenly, his voice stopped, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he tentatively reached out and nudged one of the figures.

Boom!

He fell to the ground in response, and there was no reaction at all.

He's dead?

Shocked in his heart, Ning Yue suddenly looked back and looked around, all he saw was houses and trees in the darkness, and nothing else.

Night, still so quiet.

"It seems that there is still warmth. ”

Touching the second person lightly again, Ning Yue confirmed what he felt just now, the guard didn't die for a long time, that is...... The murderer should still be in this mansion!

In the distance, the core of the City Lord's Mansion was still brightly lit, but the brilliant orange-red light and flame, looking at it now, made people feel a little terrifying, mutated blood red.

Even if the lights are bright, there will always be blind spots that can't be illuminated, and the coldness hidden in the darkness will act quietly.

"Not good!"

The next moment, Ning Yue turned around and jumped, returning to the house at the last speed, the ancient sword was behind him, and the sword that he had just received today was sheathed in his hand, and the faint coldness and weight from the palm of his hand made his heart feel a chill again, the sword eyebrows curled, and he resolutely turned around and went out again, and rushed away quickly in the direction he had already known.

"Jingsi, wait for me, you must not have anything to do!"

Snort!

Strange chains danced in the night, as dexterous as a viper, but with a sharpness that surpassed fangs, and the black blades were inconspicuous in the darkness of the night, but deadly.

"I thought that the dignified City Lord's Mansion could have a few opponents who could be seen over, but I didn't expect that they were all such unpopular goods. ”

Under the miserable white moonlight, a graceful figure stood alone on the ground covered with bluestones, her short light red hair only reached her shoulders, and the bat's wing-like mask covered half of the woman's face, and her true face could not be seen.

In her hands, the two daggers connected to the chains were stained with blood-stained scarlet, and many guards of the City Lord's Mansion fell all around, all of them killed with one blow, and the wounds were all throats.

"Feng Yue, don't waste your time with these guards. I think only the chief of the guard level will be able to know that secret. Otherwise, there's no need to kill them all. ”

At the entrance of the courtyard in the distance, a tall and thin figure walked out of the darkness and threw it away, and a captain of the guard team who had lost his breath fell to the ground.

"In terms of the number of lives in my hands, I am not a fraction of yours, and now I have come to teach me?" the woman snorted lightly, raised her hand and pointed to the buildings in the distance that were obviously higher than the surrounding area, and said, "Do according to the plan, I'll go over there, and you look for that place." ”

The tall and thin man nodded and responded, "Be careful." I think there should be a strong man in charge here. ”

The woman smiled: "Come one, just kill one." When did the red wolf do things, when were you afraid?"

As the words fell, she rolled over and skimmed, directly over a wall in front of her, and landed in another courtyard. The Castle Lord's Mansion is huge, but the map has long been memorized.

Over there, it should be the eldest lady's room.

After the woman left, the tall and thin man still stood still in the distance, slowly raised the slender sword in his hand, and said with a smile: "Why continue to hide, come out." ”

The next moment, two figures appeared together at the edge of the eaves above, and one of them slammed his hands with two knives and sneered: "It is worthy of the famous killer organization Red Wolf, so keen to perceive it." Only, why didn't you just ask your companions to come together against us?"

"I'll be enough for you. ”

The tall and thin man smiled playfully, his blood-red robe gently swaying in the night wind.

At the same moment, Ning Yue, who was galloping, finally saw a familiar figure, and a small group of guards was gathering.

"Liu Wei, what's going on!"

Hearing this, he turned his head to look, Liu Wei saw that it was Ning Yue, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes, and he replied casually: "Enemy attack, if you guess correctly, it is the red wolf who comes." ”

"What, Red Wolf! The notorious Red Wolf of the killer organization that has been wanted for more than four years but has never caught a single member?" Ning Yue was taken aback, and his tone became even more uneasy: "So, Jing Si—no, what's going on with the eldest lady?"

Sensing the difference in the title, Liu Wei's eyes changed again, and he snorted: "Of course, the eldest lady has someone to protect her, so you don't need to worry too much." I advise you, leave the City Lord's Mansion while there is chaos, this is your best choice. ”

"Thank you, but what I want to do, I know in my heart, Commander Liu just do his duty. ”

Ning Yue replied coldly, no longer bothering with Liu Wei, turned around and left, his feet were in a hurry, and the spiritual qi in the meridians in his body burst out at the moment of running, and the body martial arts Feiyan Tiyun suddenly launched, galloping away quickly in the night.

didn't stop him from leaving, looking at the direction leading to Yuan Jingsi's residence, Liu Wei just smiled cruelly, the big bow was raised, bent like a full moon, and the arrows flashing in the cold light pointed at the back. At this distance, he couldn't possibly miss. Moreover, in his opinion, no matter how fast a person in the Yuan Martial Realm was eightfold, it was far less than the arrow he shot from his fingers.

"This kind of death is actually quite comfortable, isn't it?"

Sou!

The bowstring trembled, and the cold light shot out, and he had almost seen Ning Yue's body torn apart by arrows.

At this moment, a cruel smile was slightly pulled up at the corner of Liu Wei's mouth. However, it froze in an instant, and along with the gaze in his suddenly widened eyes, full of disbelief and shock.

A jet-black sword wind quietly fell into the night, and the arrows fired instantly crushed into flying powder, and the fierceness of the aftermath did not diminish at all, and it slashed across the continuous bluestone floor and passed through Liu Wei's entire body unimpeded.

The sword was broken in two, without the slightest drag of mud and water, and the explosion of the furious sword qi shook the two pieces of the body into the rain of dancing blood, and the little scarlet was not conspicuous in the night, but it was enough to make the hearts of the rest of the guards be frozen by the sudden chill.

In the distance, a sturdy figure strode forward, carrying an extremely exaggerated jet-black sword on his shoulder.

As if hearing the strange movement behind him, Ning Yue slowed down his pace a little and looked back, but it was already a little far away, and it was night, so he couldn't see clearly.

At the same time, a slight sound in front of him alerted him, and his figure suddenly stopped, only to see two figures behind the wall door falling together, and behind them, a slender figure stood in the darkness, unable to see it really.

"Oh, and one came to the door alone?"

The man snorted lightly, stepped out from the cover of darkness, lifted his robe, and the right arm that poked out was all covered in the dark silver armor, five fingers, and the fingertips flashed with cold light The moment he pointed at Ning Yue, the five fingers were closed and retracted, and a more puzzled voice sounded.

"Wait a minute, how could it be you?"

Hearing this, Ning Yue was stunned, naturally he didn't dare to relax his vigilance, he took out the saber on his waist and pointed at it, and said coldly: "Who are you, do you recognize me?"

The person in front of him wore a mask, and his nose was covered up to his forehead, so he couldn't see his face, but judging from the exposed half of his cheeks and the figure just now, he should not be very old. However, Ning Yue couldn't associate any figure with this person in his memory no matter what, and one of them alone couldn't do it.

Ochre hair, I don't have it in my memory.

Regarding Ning Yue's inexplicability, the other party smiled faintly: "It's just that I've seen it on the wanted notice, Yunxu Sword Pavilion abandoned Ning Yue, and the reward is 10,000 silver coins." Compared to the worst one of our red wolves, you are worth ten times less. What's the matter, you also want to wade into this muddy water? I advise you, our target tonight is not you, hurry up and leave, I can pretend that I haven't seen you. ”

"Shouldn't I feel honored that the most notorious red wolf in the Snow Dragon Empire actually recognizes me?" Ning Yue's five fingers holding the sword increased his strength, and his eyebrows were also curled: "Let me pass, or I'll do it myself!"

"Isn't it, you're still going to fight me?"

The man was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and the five fingers of his right hand were closed one by one, and the slight sound of metal grinding was very clear in the night.

"Red wolf, silver hand, bounty of 180,000. Measured by this gap, how?"

Zheng!

In response to him, there was only the sound of the sword roaring, which was fierce, and under the bleak moonlight, the flickering silver rainbow sword light was inconspicuous, but the deep cold was enough to penetrate life.

Ning Yue knew in his heart that there was not much time left for him, and it might even be too late. According to rumors, the Red Wolf Attack never took more than a quarter of an hour to solve the target, it came in a hurry and went without a trace. A killer has already appeared in the current location, so it is likely that the core residential area of the City Lord's Mansion has been invaded.

Yuan Jingsi, now in danger!

"It's a fast sword, but it's a pity it's useless to me. ”

With a casual smile, the silver hand bow jumped back, and the five fingers of his right hand turned into palms together, taking advantage of the emptiness of reopening the distance, he hit Ning Yue's thrust fingertips and pressed hard.

Clang!

The tip of the sword slanted and slammed into the bluestone floor, toppling with the sword-wielder's figure.

In an instant, Ning Yue gritted his teeth and drank, the Xuan power circulating in his body suddenly intensified, the blade bent and struck on the ground, and the force of the shock actually made his body fall turn over and again, and his left hand twisted at the same time and pulled out the sword he was carrying, and the brown-red sword shadow roared softly in the night.

Bite!

The firelight flew and shone, and the silver hand took a step back, glancing in disbelief, only to see a shallow sword mark on his special alloy forged arm armor.

"Good sword, before that, only I broke other people's blades, and no one could hurt me. ”

"There are no absolutes in everything, aren't you going to meet tonight? Get out of the way, otherwise, the next sword will cut your throat!"

With a cold voice, the two swords were raised and pointed at the person in front of him, a pale red slowly appeared on Ning Yue's cheeks, and the aura emitted by the whole person was also slowly heating up, like a flame.

It's hot, it's hot.

He didn't know why his meridians were suddenly like fire, and it felt like when he first unlocked the seal of the ancient sword, and it seemed like ...... A few days ago, I felt when I drank the blood of the Iron Spine Tiger.

Ahead, the eyes under the silver hand mask narrowed slightly, and an idea appeared in his heart about the sudden change of aura on Ning Yue's body.

Could it be, upgraded?
