Chapter 41: The Moon is Black and the Wind is High

At night, the starlight was dim, and the crescent moon hanging in the sky was pale in the sky, and the sky and the earth were dim.

There were no pedestrians on the streets of Aomine City, and most of the houses were lit up. For ordinary people, this time has long been asleep. In the middle of the night, the people who can still wake up are either rich or noble, traitors or thieves, and ...... Certain people with a special purpose.

Standing in the shade of the tree, Ning Yue's figure almost blended with the shadows, looking at the unchanged night scene in the distance, his heart was still a little bottomless, looking back, Chang Xuanxuan's concealment was even better, and he was almost unconscious of it.

The red wolf itself belongs to the night, and he has already learned Chang Xuanxuan's hiding method, but now he is thinking about another thing.

"I didn't go back so late, I didn't even say hello, is it okay over there?"

In the dark, Chang Xuanxuan wrapped his arms around his chest and replied softly: "Don't worry, with me, they won't suspect you." ”

There are some words that can't be said clearly, but the two of them naturally understand in their hearts. Su Qian on the side heard it in a fog, but it was also the result they wanted.

As for Liu Chong and Ying Tianxu, they acted separately, and the five of them were divided into three groups, and they launched a siege from three directions, attacking the discovered Holy Mission Stronghold in turn.

It's getting closer and closer to the pre-planned time.

The most anxious person in her heart was Su Qian, the fiasco during the day was undoubtedly a shame for her, and such a long wait was simply torture for her. However, she also knew in her heart the gap between them, even if the time came, the odds of winning were not great. However, what she needs most is not a victory, but an opportunity.

"Finally, again, Nangong Xuan's life is mine, I want to solve him with my own hands, and no one can interfere. ”

Holding the hilt of the saber hanging from her waist tightly in her left hand, Su Qianliu's brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes were full of coldness.

"As long as you can deal with it, you will naturally be able to do it. However, you should be aware of the gap between us and him, and it will not be easy to win. Compared to the daytime, we now have the advantage of shooting without scruples. and, possible back-up. Chang Xuanxuan sighed, after all, he was on the street during the day, and he didn't use some powerful tricks that worried about the innocent. At this point, he believes that Su Qian is the same.

In addition, there was another point that he couldn't rest assured, his eyes turned to Ning Yue, and he solemnly instructed again.

"Holy Mission is ruthless, there is no bottom line for the sake of profit, and everyone is an outlaw. Don't hesitate to deal with such people, let alone show mercy, otherwise you will only harm yourself. ”

Hearing this, Ning Yue nodded and responded, "Understood." ”

He had heard of the name of the Holy Mission before, and it could be called a great sin, and he did all kinds of evil. In the oral accounts of many warriors, they are afraid of the red wolf and scolding for the holy mission.

This time, he won't hesitate any longer.

"By the way, your injuries are okay, are you? if not, it's okay to stay here and pick us up, so don't go in. After all, your strength has not yet reached the Spirit Awakening Realm level. ”

Estimating that the time was almost up, Chang Xuanxuan made the final confirmation.

pressed the wound in the abdomen, it was still a little painful, but the bleeding had already stopped, Ning Yue smiled and replied: "It's just a slight injury, it won't hurt the muscles and bones, and now I feel much better." Big brother, their medicine is very good. ”

"That's good. ”

Chang Xuanxuan replied softly, he and Su Qian are the same, with the elixir treatment given by Ying Tianxu and Liu Chong, the loss and injuries during the day have basically been alleviated by seventy percent, and it will not be a problem to fight again.

Soon, the regained silence was broken again, and a few hurried footsteps quickly passed through the narrow street, the footsteps were deliberately disguised, but for the martial arts powerhouses with ordinary sensory abilities, they could still be recognized in their ears.

Salsa.

The same faint sound suddenly whispered in the night, and the figures speeding through the street were stunned for a moment, and then they all collapsed against the wall without making the slightest more sound.

A ghostly figure silently appeared in front of them, ripped off one of them's pitch-black cloak and draped it over himself, and turned to leave. Lifting such a corpse, there was a bright green leaf in the exposed throat, thin as paper, soft as brocade, but it was easy to cut the flesh and blood, and it was fatal.

The three of Ning Yue, who didn't know about this, were still hiding in the shadows and continued to wait. According to the plan, Ying Tianxu will approach in disguise, find an opportunity to break through head-on to attract the enemy's attention, and then ......

Ding Ding Ding!

Ping Pong Ping Pong Ping Pong –

Suddenly, the crisp buzzing sound of swords colliding came from the courtyard not far away, Su Qian, who had already tensed her nerves, suddenly changed her eyes, and without waiting for Ning Yue and Chang Xuanxuan to turn over and jump directly onto the eaves, they quickly stepped over several roofs in a few steps, and the left hand that originally held the hilt of the sword slipped and grabbed the scabbard, and wiped the sweat from the palm of the hand with his right palm on the skirt robe, and then held the hilt of the sword instead of his left hand.

As her figure fell into the target courtyard from above, the saber was instantly unsheathed, and the cold light of the stroke shone brightly in the night, and the merciless cold kiss passed through the flesh and throat, leaving only a few streaks of blood splashing on the dirt floor.

Knock!

The two figures fell to the ground, dead and blinding, and until the last moment of their lives, they didn't react to what had just been born.

Hunting, as the name suggests, is swift and ruthless, pursuing a lethal blow, although it is an imperial city guard, but the tactics are biased towards assassins, and it is an elite who specializes in dealing with martial arts powerhouses or performing special tasks. As the captain of the squad, Su Qian is naturally the elite of the elite, and killing two secret sentinels in an instant is just a common thing for her.

Laugh at!

Not far away, a tearing sound suddenly attracted her attention, and while turning around, the blade subconsciously crossed in front of her, and a trace of vigilance in her heart faded away, and what she saw was a fallen figure, the third secret whistle that was pierced through the throat by Chang Xuanxuan, who followed closely.

"If you are too impatient, it is easy to misjudge. ”

Raising his foot and kicking the short crossbow held in the corpse's hand, Chang Xuanxuan shrugged his shoulders, the meaning was very obvious.

"At this distance, he couldn't shoot me. ”

With a cold snort, Su Qianxun recalled the map that he had firmly remembered in his mind, turned over and jumped to a remote, inconspicuous cabin. According to Liu Chong's tracking, one of the passages into the underground is here.

"Something seems wrong......"

Ning Yue was the last to rush to the courtyard, listening to the sound of the confrontation in the wind, for some reason, a touch of ominous premonition appeared in his heart, looking at a few houses in the courtyard, the black lights were blinding, like a man-devouring beast lurking in the dark, just waiting for the prey to come to the door by itself.

"Take it one step at a time, isn't it?"

Chang Xuanxuan patted him on the shoulder, and then hurriedly followed Su Qian's figure in front of him. It's not safe here, especially in an unknown area ahead.

When he leaned to keep up, Ning Yue suddenly felt that the strangeness in his heart was even stronger, and suddenly looked back, there was nothing else in the distance except for the rows of houses under the night sky, shook his head and sighed, no longer hesitated, and hurriedly followed the figure of his companion in front of him.

In the distance, on top of the tallest tower, a hidden figure walked back to the window and looked down at the courtyard below. It's so far away that ordinary people can't see it clearly. But for him, everything in the courtyard is extremely clear in his eyes, every person, every movement, is the same.

"I didn't expect to ask them to get a head start. Maybe you can't make a move. ”

Under the courtyard, the tunnel corridor is quite spacious, and the lights on both sides are slightly dim, adding a bit of weirdness.

Su Qian strode in front with a sword, the black shadow on the wall was very slender under the oblique light, flickering and faintly moving forward together, until the corner, the stopped pace made the shadow on the wall also stop, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

At the same time, Chang Xuanxuan, who was following closely, also raised his hand and signaled Ning Yue to stop, but suddenly appeared, the latter was completely unmoved, stepped forward quickly, and walked directly to the corner.

"What do you do?"

Drinking softly, Chang Xuanxuan was very puzzled, in his anxious eyes, the shadow of Ning Yue's body was also reflected in an instant.

Whoosh!

The whistling sound of the feather arrow breaking through the air is very sharp, and it is even more unprepared to attack it as a hidden arrow in the corner.

However, Ning Yue was prepared early, took off and leaned up, three short arrows under the arched body passed through quickly, and the pace did not stop directly at the moment he landed, but leaned over and rolled on the ground, and the two poisonous tribulus terrestris that were cross-shot against the ground also missed.

When he finally came to the end of this short corner, Ning Yue stepped forward and kicked his backhand, his backhand sword was as fast as lightning, only to hear a cracking sound and the sound of flesh cutting together, and a person hiding behind the wall was nailed to the wall with a sword along with the crossbow in his hand.

"I forgot to mention, I have dealt with several mountain bandits' lairs before, and the senior brothers of similar organs have called me up. It seems that my reflexes and hunches are sensitive in this regard. ”

Laughing back, Ning Yue's expression was slightly proud.

"So-so, don't mess around like this next time. ”

Chang Xuanxuan spread his hands, and when he approached, he glared at Ning Yue and said fiercely: "Don't you think, I haven't dealt with this situation, right? Don't be reckless, otherwise you won't know how to die!"

"Your strength is stronger than mine, it should be more useful later, and a mechanism like this that consumes a lot of energy and physical strength, so I'll do it. I think that's probably why Senior Brother agreed to let me come along. ”

Punched Chang Xuanxuan in the shoulder, Ning Yue was not angry, nor did he have any remorse.

"How much time are you going to waste on this matter that has been resolved. ”

Passing straight past the two of them, Su Qian kept turning the corner step by step, and when the figure disappeared, the metal sound was startled again, and there was a sound of breaking.

In the face of the mechanism, her approach is very direct and rude, blocking and cutting off. The same is true for the enemies who stand in their way.

When Ning Yue followed again, all she saw was three corpses falling on the ground and broken arrows everywhere, as well as the shadow that had stopped inexplicably in front of her.

"What's wrong?"

Chang Xuanxuan was also stunned, and caught up with Ning Yue side by side, his eyes turned, and he looked directly forward through the last short passage, and suddenly saw an underground palace extending in all directions, and there were six or seven passages leading to other places on the wall.

However, it doesn't matter, in the center of the dungeon, several figures are standing with sharp blades in their hands, their faces are cold, and among them, there is a strong figure sitting on a tiger skin chair, holding a jar of wine in their hands and gulping down.

That figure is the Nangong Xuan who has already been seen during the day, one of the five protectors of the Holy Mission Sect, a scorpion!
