7. Assault

Watching his coachman catch up with the two men and chop them to the ground, Theseus jumped up for a moment of joy and shook his fist loudly and roared. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info They won, and it was only a small fight, but it still made him excited. Because although he didn't kill anyone, he managed to avoid the almost killing three-sword attack, which is definitely the best praise for his training results.

However, Sheicius, who was so excited that he had forgotten the basics of a warrior, did not realize that behind the carriage, a mysterious cloaked man was slowly drawing his sword from the darkness.

If anyone could see Merrick's face through the darkness, they would immediately notice the uncertainty of his expression at this time. One will grit your teeth, one will frown, one will be afraid, and one will be hideous...... In a few breaths, he had changed his expression to four or five times, which showed that his inner struggle was so fierce at this time.

"Kill, can't kill, can't kill, run, can't run, can't escape!can't escape!" Merrick set off a storm in his heart, he didn't expect that just a swordsman showed his face and frightened the guys who were still beating their chests in front of them, and fled in all directions, so that the situation that had been going well was suddenly reversed, and a total of twelve of their pursuers actually returned and were chased and killed.

This situation was so angry that he wanted to jump to his feet and scold, but he endured it, he had to deal with everything in the fastest time. The wounded must die, including his two men who were incapacitated.

So, his eyes were fixed on the unsuspecting young nobleman. He knew that only by hearing the screams of pain would the coachman come back desperately to protect him, so that he would have a chance to cut off the heads of the two men and take them away, and all evidence would disappear.

Otherwise...... Thinking of this, Merrick's body couldn't help but shudder, "No, I will definitely complete the task and leave successfully!" As if afraid of something, Merrick immediately cheered himself up viciously in his heart.

"It's amazing!" Seeing the guy who originally thought he was a coachman suddenly transform into a magnificent god, Xius couldn't help himself with excitement. Of course, this is not only because of the other party's good skills that make him excited, but also because of the rolling heat in his heart, which is secretly grateful to his father!

Hughes was a smart child. Although he has never been qualified to participate in family affairs, it is never clear what the family has done for him. But just looking at the charioteer swordsman who showed off his skills today, Xius already understood how deeply his father cared for and loved him!

No matter how glorious the ancestors of the Horton family are, they are still just a viscount family, just a category of nobles who are not up to the bottom. If it weren't for the extreme importance of his Xiusi, how could the family send a small number of precious swordsmen to him as charioteers?

You must know that most of the martial artists in this world are only trainee warriors, and only one of the twenty or thirty trainee warriors who can cultivate their fighting spirit can be produced! Even the great nobles of the capital are probably reluctant to use a junior swordsman as a coachman, that is by no means pomp, it is a great waste of resources, if someone really does that, I am afraid that it will attract not envy but bursts of ridicule.

At this moment of excitement, Hughes finally deepened his understanding of the love of his father and the weight of the family's heirship. While his heart was surging, his right hand was also tightly gripping the long sword in his hand, always ready to join this small battle under the orders of the swordsman!

At this point, he suddenly felt that he should use this victory to prove that he was worthy of his father's love and family's attention. This is the voice of a little man.

However, because of the violent ups and downs of emotions in his heart, he did not notice that there was a person on the other side of the broken carriage who was plotting against him in the shadows to save this ridiculous ambush farce.

At this moment, Merrick, who was hiding in the shadows, saw that his two foolish men had been knocked to the ground by the other man's coachman and dragged back with his legs, and the shrill whistle began to sound in the distance, so he had to give up all illusions and rush towards the carriage with his sword.

"Damn, I really want to kill this play-watching boy!" Cursed to himself as he rushed, Merrick unleashed a standard big sword and slashed straight at the moment when he brought the carriage into the range of attack, and a faint blue light lingered on the sword's body!

"Boom~!" The carriage exploded under the action of the great sword, the wood chips exploded, and the horses neighed in fright and ran forward frantically, even after long-term training, the instinct of the animals still made them run immediately in the face of danger.

Such a big movement immediately stirred Xiuth out of the state of watching the play, although he had his back to the carriage, but the instinct of the warrior who had been trained for a long time had already made him understand that there was a person hiding behind the carriage, and he had not made a move until now.

This time, he understood that the biggest crisis in his life so far was coming! Life and death were in an instant!

In an instant, Xius only felt a rush of hot blood rushing to his head, his face was suffocating red, and his body was in the most tense state for a moment, and he didn't even squeeze out a trace of time to warm up.

Immediately after that, Xiusi's tempered body immediately reacted instinctively, he curled up and rolled forward, and then a sword swept towards the position behind him, and when it reached the height of his chest, he immediately unloaded the momentum and withdrew and crossed the sword to protect himself!

"It's okay!" Hugh, who was already standing a few steps away from his place and making a standard swordsman's defensive frame, stared at the cloaked man who slowly walked out of the broken carriage, sweating, and secretly let out a long breath!

Although the action just now was his instinctive reaction, Xius was still afraid that it would not stop the unknown attack in the dark, and even at the moment of curling up, he was mentally prepared to be seriously injured by the strong.

But unexpectedly, the guy didn't take advantage of the situation to attack, but walked out like a walk, although this obvious contempt made Xius angry, but the joy of saving his life for a while also made him have no time to curse the other party's hatefulness.

"Very good defensive move!noble boy!" a hoarse voice came from the cloak, "but you have stood in my way, and ruined my good deeds, and even killed my men, I think I must teach you a lesson as a warning to you to be nosy, young man!"

As soon as the words fell, the cloaked man shrugged down and pounced on Xius, and a sword shadow with a glimmer of light stabbed out of the cloak and pierced straight into Xius's left shoulder, his movements were extremely clean and clean, and the standard was incomparable.

Xiusi's eyes shrank, the opponent's attack was not critical, then there was a chance to fight back. He immediately took half a step back, and then swung the long sword in his hand to meet it, and the speed of the sword was faster than that of the other party.

Of course, Xius saw the difference, but he was nervous that he didn't have time to think about the subtleties, and he had to use all his strength to meet the enemy, knowing that the glimmer on the opponent's long sword clearly told him that the opponent was a real junior swordsman.

If he doesn't concentrate and work hard this time, he may not have a chance to work hard in the future.

"Ah~!" Hughes snorted.

The long swords intersected, and there was no crisp sound of metal hitting, but a dull feeling. A huge force quickly pressed down the long sword, and Xius felt that his sword was extremely heavy for a moment, but fortunately, this level did not exceed his limit.

"This is the power of Dou Qi!" Xiu Si realized in his heart, and immediately added another ten percent of the strength to his hand, so that he had exerted ninety percent of the strength of his body. Although this force has been able to overturn five or six adult strong men, it is still weak in the face of the strength of a true swordsman's fighting spirit.

Xius gritted his teeth, trying to squeeze out the last strength in his body, and after a very short sound of metal rubbing, the opponent's long sword was finally swung back by him, regardless of the soreness of the muscles on his arm, Xius immediately moved the sword back, and re-established a defensive frame in front of his chest.

"Huh?" A sound of surprise came from the cloak, obviously a little surprised at the fruitless outcome of his attack, but he still struck a second time, "Very good, but you can't escape my second sword, I won't kill you, but I must leave you a mark, lest others say that I am afraid of a little viscount in the future!"

"You know me......", Xiusi was startled, the other party seemed to recognize his identity, but despite this, he continued to attack, could it be that the other party was some kind of great man, or at least a nobleman of the same level, otherwise, no one would dare to leave a mark on the heir of a viscount so openly!

Merrick in the cloak was actually shocked by the power of the kid in front of him, although he spoke in an extremely grandiose tone, a tone of instruction, but it was just deliberately disturbing the opponent's mind, in fact, he was really anxious.

Because he had already used sixty percent of the strength of his first sword just now, in order to be able to accurately control the strength, one sword lightly injured the opponent, and another minor injury, until the coachman who was slightly stronger than him was lured back, and he himself made a mistake and fled. And the other party is afraid of the boy, and it is probably impossible to pursue. In this way, he can calmly take away his men who are lying down, erase all traces, and escape tracking.

But if the coachman brought back and he couldn't hurt the boy, then he would be in big trouble, two to one, plus the city guards getting closer and closer, and even he couldn't run away.

But the pain is here, and Merrick does not dare to increase his strength too much.

He knows his own affairs, he is just a level 5 swordsman, and he has just cultivated his fighting spirit for a short time, and he can't control his power at all. If the power is too much, a bad one will seriously injure or even kill the noble boy in front of him, and at that time, the coachman who is about to rush over must be desperate! What's more, there is the inevitable hunt afterward!

"You are looking for death!" was less than ten meters away, but he saw that the young master was slashed to the ground by the second sword of the cloaked man, the coachman's eyes immediately turned red, and with a roar of anger, he threw out the big sword in his hand with all his strength and inserted it into the cloaked man, and he himself kept thrusting into the middle of the two people who were fighting, trying to use his body to build a second line of defense for the young master, lest the enemy jump off the wall in a hurry, and cut the young master under the sword regardless of his own life.

"Woo~!" The coachman's heavy sword let out a terrible whining sound and stabbed Merrick, who was overjoyed when he saw this, and quickly retreated to dodge the flying long sword, turned to the wrong angle and scribbled behind the coachman, and galloped away.

"Bastard!" As an experienced warrior, the cloaked man had already done it so obviously, how could the coachman not understand what the other party meant, but he didn't dare to turn around and chase after him, after all, the safety of the young master was his most important responsibility. He could only watch as the other party's two swords cut off the heads of the two people on the ground while protecting the young master, and then fled quickly without looking back.

"Young master, how are you, are you seriously injured?" Seeing that the other party had run into the darkness, although he was extremely unwilling, the coachman still gritted his teeth and gave up the pursuit, and instead helped the young master up, and carefully checked whether the boy in front of him was seriously injured.

With the help of the coachman, Hughes coughed twice and barely stood up. He also looked in the direction of the enemy's escape, trembling all over, his eyes were red with anger, his mouth was whirring and panting, and his heart was full of a sense of defeat and humiliation.

The reason for this change is simple!

Just when he thought that he would die under the opponent's third sword, the cloaked man actually fled without a fight, and escaped faster than the demon rabbit without even meeting the coachman who rushed to him, what does this mean?

This shows that the other party's words just now were completely to scare him Xiusius, and he, a well-trained warrior, actually believed the other party, only cared about saving his own life, completely gave up the bravery and wisdom that a warrior should have, and let the enemy's tricks succeed and leave easily.

Just now, as long as he barely drew his sword and delayed for a few seconds, it was very likely that the hateful fellow would be left here by him and the coachman, plus the city guards who came quickly behind......

Thinking of this, Xius clenched his fists hard, his teeth creaked, and he hated it so much that he hated not his enemies, but himself. He hated himself for having endured years of harsh training in vain, but he was so weak at a critical moment that this counterattack that should have ended perfectly turned into the mess it is today.

Unforgivable!

"It's okay," just when Xius was furious, the coachman who was checking his injuries up and down next to him suddenly exhaled and said with a little relaxation: "Although the enemy attacked twice, he was not determined to be young master, so you didn't suffer any injuries, but your body was shocked by some fighting energy, and it will be fine to recuperate for two days." Young Master, today's incident is completely dereliction of duty, and if I hadn't left without permission, you wouldn't have been so frightened. After returning to the fort, I will immediately ask the lord for guilt, I believe that the lord will arrange better guards to protect you, your safety is definitely guaranteed, please don't let this attack become a shadow in your heart, this is very detrimental to your cultivation!"

The coachman's self-blame finally calmed down Hughes a lot, and most of his attention shifted from shame, resentment, and self-blame to the coachman.

With a light breath, Hughes reluctantly raised his hand and patted the coachman's arm, smiled and comforted him: "Don't say that, you did a good job, on the contrary, it was my negligence that caused a perfect counter-ambush to become what it is now, and I should be ashamed of it." And what makes me even more ashamed is that you have been with me for so long, and I still don't know your name, which is very rude!"

Although the coachman was a formal junior swordsman, and his strength was much higher than that of Xie Xiusi, the rank of dignity and inferiority in the continent was not only based on strength, and nobles were always noble people on any occasion. Therefore, when the coachman found out that the young master wanted to bow and apologize to him, he panicked, and hurriedly supported Xiusi, who was still weak, and stopped him again and again.
