Chapter 118: Ghost Face
The cold sword light rushed to my face like a harsh winter snow, with a sharp whistling sound, I only felt that my eyes suddenly turned white, and the knife flowers fell like snowflakes, and the cold chill immediately made my skin goosebumps. It's too late, it's fast, Yun Li and Yun Zhen protected me one after the other, the silver sword flashed countless crystal lights and shadows, blocking Namiro's sword net, and in an instant, I only heard the sound of countless swords hitting each other, and the chill suddenly receded by three points, only to hear Yun Zhen say sharply: "Young lady, run!" ”
The light and shadow are weaving, but this time it is the sword light that is approaching from the sword shadow of Yun Zhen. Yunde took the opportunity to push me on the horse, and whipped it on Xiaobai's buttocks, Xiaobai screamed in pain, pulled his legs and galloped. Seeing this, the man in black did not fight with Yun Li Yun Zhen, and approached me, Yun De stepped forward to block, and was cut to the ground by the man in black in a few clicks. I was shocked, Yunli and Yunzhen were fighting with the man in black, while leaping on the horse, following closely behind me, there was a "whoosh" sound behind me, Yunli and Yunzhen's horse was stabbed by a cold arrow, and pounced forward, the horse's head hit the little white buttocks, and fell to the ground with a bang, foaming at the mouth. Xiaobai was frightened, and suddenly raised his front hooves and neighed, and I was overturned from the horse's back by it, and rolled to the ground, and my whole body suddenly seemed to fall apart, and I couldn't move. Xiaobai "clicked" and ran into the jungle at high speed, and disappeared in an instant.
"Young lady!" Yun Zhen rushed over to help me up, Yun Li reflexively fought with the man in black who came after him, and said loudly to Yun Zhen: "Take the young lady away, I'll stop them!" ”
"Young lady, can you move?" Yun Zhen said in a deep voice, and I nodded quickly, although my whole body hurt as if I had been torn apart. Yun Zhen pulled me into the woods without hesitation, behind me was the roar of swords that kept fighting, and two more sounds of breaking the air came, Yun Zhen turned around and swung his sword to split, but he didn't expect the second cold arrow to be followed by the third cold arrow, shooting at an unsuspecting speed, and suddenly pierced Yun Zhen's left arm. Before I could scream, I saw a flash of silver light, and Yun Zhen snorted, and he had already removed one of his left arms, and suddenly blood rained down, spraying my head and face. I stared blankly at Yun Zhen's arm falling to the grass, and said in disbelief, "You cut off your own hand?" ”
"Young lady, run!" Yun Zhen was covered with cold sweat, reached out to several acupuncture points on his body, and pushed my vest with his right hand holding the sword. Yes, this is a group of killers who kill people without blinking, their cold arrows are soaked in the poison of blood and throat, if Yun Zhen doesn't cut off his hand immediately, I'm afraid that he will already die at this time.
There was no longer the sound of Yunli and the man in black fighting behind him, only the heavy gasping sound of me and Yun Zhen was heard in the dark, I turned around and saw that Yun Zhen's face was pale, and the blood loss made him lose his strength all over his body, and he staggered, he could no longer suppress the fear in his heart, and tears slid down: "How are you?" ”
"Run!" Yun Zhen didn't answer, but while urging me to run, he vigilantly paid attention to the wind and grass around him, and the blood kept gushing out of his left arm all the way, and his eyes burned with rage, and his expression was terrifying, like a man-eating beast. I was tempted to say that I couldn't run at all, but my feet didn't obey the command to run, because I knew we couldn't stop, and if we did, we would have no hope of survival.
Suddenly, Yun Zhen suddenly stopped, and quickly blocked in front of me. I slammed my head on his back, and saw him staring stiffly ahead, his sword in his hand against his chest, his knuckles white. I looked up and saw a black figure not far away, dressed exactly like the black-clothed masked men before, but holding two weapons that resembled Emei thorns in his hands, instead of the knives of the black-clothed men before. Yun De clenched his long sword and said in a deep voice: "Young lady, run to the right quickly, I'll stop him first." As he spoke, he pushed me to the right, and his body moved upright, running towards the man in black.
I didn't dare to look back, so I had to rush straight forward, and there was a sound of fighting behind me, I didn't dare to look back, just looked at the jungle of black fog and obstacles, and I don't remember how many times I fell and how many times I got up. I don't know if Yun De is dead, whether Yun Li and Yun Zhen can drag those men in black, I don't have any thoughts in my head, just a blank space, mechanically repeating the action of running. My chest swelled and hurt, the night wind hit my tearful face, a tingling pain, I couldn't breathe, there was a double image of the scene in front of me, many times I thought I was about to suffocate to death, but the numb pain from all over my body in the next second reminded me that I was not dead yet, and I couldn't give up hope!
I don't know where I ran, there seemed to be no road in this mountain forest, I stumbled forward in the dark, crawling through the rugged forest with one foot high and one foot low, and occasionally an animal flew past my feet, which frightened me to my soul, but I did not dare to scream, I covered my mouth and continued to stagger forward. In the darkness came the terrible cry of a bird that I don't know what kind, which made me feel more and more eerie, the skirt was mixed and broken by the thorns of the branches that stretched out from nowhere, and the crisp silk tearing sound was unusually clear and weird in the dark, I was terrified to cut open the luxuriant thorns in front of me, my hand was pierced by the thorny thorns, the pain in my heart, and my face was cut several times by the thatch with barbs, and there was a hot pain. There seemed to be the sound of running water in front of me, and I hurried forward, picking up clumps of thatch and thorns, and suddenly it became clear in front of me, and in the silver moonlight, I saw a huge waterfall in front of me, and below the waterfall merged into a pool of water, cascading into a stream. On the left was the waterfall and the cliff was out of the road, and I didn't know where the stream was leading to or below, and I got out of the grass and didn't know which way to go.
But I didn't have a chance to think about it anymore, and as soon as I came out of the jungle, I saw a man in black slowly stepping out of the shadows by the stream, and when he saw me, he froze, and stood in the bright moonlight, and the Emei thorn in his hand shone ghostly silver in the moonlight. I was shocked, glared at him, and said, "What did you do with Yun Zhen?" ”
When he heard my question, he looked up at me, and his body seemed to pause, but he didn't say anything. I said hatefully, "You killed him? ”
He just looked at me in silence, not knowing what he was thinking. I was angry, scared and hated, and said angrily, "Why did you kill me? Did Steward Zhao ask you to kill me? ”
I stared at him warily, and he looked at me silently, still not speaking, and his hand holding Emei's thorn tightened. I knew I couldn't run, so I sneered: "Horizontal and vertical are all death, if you want to take my life, why don't you let me be a ghost?" ”
"Wait until you go down and ask King Yama!" A figure flashed out of the dark jungle, and when I looked up, I saw a man in black walking slowly, talking to him, the leader of the men in black who had ambushed us on the mountain road. When I saw him, I knew that Yunli must be more than lucky, but it must have also caused them to lose four people, and I was sad and angry in my heart: "You killed Yunli? ”
"Your question is so redundant." The man in black glanced at the man in black who was obsessed with Emei's thorn, and snorted softly, "Yin ghost, why didn't you kill her?" ”
The black-clothed man called Yin Ghost glanced at him and said coldly, "I don't need you to do anything. ”
It turned out to be a female voice, this assassin called the Yin Ghost, it turned out to be a woman. I was shocked, not because she was a woman, but because her voice was a little familiar, I took two steps forward, stared into the eyes of the masked man in black called Yin Ghost, shocked and suspicious: "You ......"
The man in black was taken by the yin ghost, clasped his hands, and snorted coldly: "Don't worry about me? Don't forget, I'm the one in charge of this operation. ”
"There was no assassination scheduled for this operation, it was your own private decision." The yin ghost said coldly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"So what, the master of the door has put me in charge, and now you have to listen to me." The empty-handed man in black said coldly, "Do you think you are still the favored celebrity you used to be?" Don't forget who's in charge! ”
I took a step back, the more I listened to the voice of the yin ghost, the more it looked like her, I should not be wrong, I glared at the yin ghost, and said coldly: "You, you are the ...... of the moon"
"Shut up!" She interrupted me coldly, and a cold light suddenly shot out of her eyes, so frightened that I swallowed the words back immediately. The man in black let out a "huh" and said coldly: "She seems to know you?" ”
The yin ghost didn't speak, and a bloodthirsty cold light flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and he sneered: "Since the yin ghost is recognized by you, then you deserve to die!" As he spoke, he pulled him to his waist, pulled out an iron whip, and waved it in the air, and the iron whip swelled open, and the whip body swelled up with sharp hooks and thorns, like thorns. I was so frightened that I turned my head and ran, only to hear a sharp noise catch up, and I was anxious and afraid, and when I stepped on a stone, my foot slipped, and I fell to the ground, and the thorny whip swept over my head with a sinister sinister sweep, and struck a tree beside me, and the tree fell to the ground with a bang. I quickly got up, and suddenly I had a sharp pain in my ankle, and I fell to the ground again, damn it, my foot twisted. Looking back at the two of them, I saw that the man in black raised the thorn whip in his hand again, and his mouth let out a night owl-like laugh, and the yin ghost stood in place and looked at me coldly, the thorn iron whip with a fierce noise, like a flexible and winding poisonous snake, swallowed straight towards me with the yin wind, the yin wind swept away the scattered hair on my face, and I closed my eyes.
I can't escape, I'm really going to die this time. Death comes so fast that I don't even have time to think about the things I came to this world, those who can't forget, it's okay, at least the death won't be so painful. I heard the roar of metal in my ears, like the sound of bones being stumbled, this killer's method of killing people was clean and neat, and it all twisted my head off, I didn't even feel the pain, I still had consciousness in my brain, it turned out that until the moment of death, I realized that the time of death had become very slow and long, like a DVD player moving slowly.
I heard a dull thud again, my head fell to the ground, right? I didn't dare open my eyes to see the horrible scene, so I just went for it. A frightened and suspicious question suddenly sounded in his ears: "Who are you?" ”
Who am I? Don't you already recognize me? I'm pretending to be stupid now! I opened my eyes angrily, wanting to show her a terrible tragic situation before death, and then say two cruel words that turned into a ghost and didn't let her go, but I didn't expect that when I opened my eyes and saw the situation in front of me, I was stupid!
The thorny iron whip was like a black poisonous snake just now, but it was tripped into several pieces and scattered lifelessly on the ground, and the black-clothed man who wielded the whip fell to the ground, his head rolled down at my feet, and the headless body fell to the ground, and I kicked the bloody head open, almost screaming in horror. Gritting his teeth, he bracked his body and looked up, only to see a man in a black hooded cloak standing in front of the Yin Ghost with a sword, he was not masked, but his face was wearing a hideous silver mask, which glowed with a terrifying silver light in the moonlight.
It turns out that the ghost is not talking to me, he is talking to him! He ignored the ghost's questioning and walked straight towards me, exuding a terrifying aura all over his body. Walking up to me, he crouched down, and I shrank in horror from the mask on his face: "Who are you?" "His mask is really terrifying, and his eyes are not hollowed out like ordinary masks, but made into protruding windows, like medieval knights' helmets, so that people can't see his eyes. The slight retraction took a toll on my body, and I gasped and frowned.
He didn't reply, noticing my expression, his eyes falling to my ankles, which were already swollen into steamed buns. The ghost-faced man suddenly reached out and picked me up, and I struggled slightly, and my whole body suddenly ached, and he sensed my resistance, and his movements became gentle. I was stunned, and it seemed that he had no ill will towards me. I turned my head to look at the suspicious ghost, looked at the ghost-faced man and whispered, "You saved me." ”
He looked down at me, but still didn't say anything, just hugged me and turned away, ignoring the ghost standing there. "Who the hell are you?" Behind him came the Yin ghost's fierce questioning, accompanied by the strange sound of "whirring", I looked from the arm of the ghost-faced man, and saw the Emei thorn in the hand of the ghost flying towards us like two hot wheels, I exclaimed, the ghost-faced man hugged me, the body shook ghostly, and passed through the middle of the two "whirring" Emei thorns, rushing towards the Yin ghost, and the Emei thorn turned back again, the ghost-faced man hugged me with one hand, and the sword in his hand seemed to be just a wave of his hand, and the two Emei thorns were swept to the ground, The long sword was then placed on the Yin Ghost's neck, and all of this action was clean and neat, but it was completed in an instant, so fast that the Yin Ghost didn't even have time to fight back.
There was no fear or suspicion in the eyes of the yin ghost, his eyes gradually calmed down, he looked at the ghost-faced man fixedly, closed his eyes, and had the demeanor and bearing of a killer before he died. The ghost-faced man looked at her for a long time, withdrew his sword, hugged me and turned to leave, the ghost didn't make a sound, didn't stop it, just stood there like a petrified, it seemed that she knew that she was no match for the ghost-faced man, and would not hit the stone with an egg again.
It seems that this person is a hero, and he will not easily take other people's surnames, and I seem to be safe ....... The happiness of the rest of my life after the catastrophe made my whole body relax, only to find that all kinds of pain in my body had returned, I bit my lip and leaned on the arms of the ghost-faced man, and my consciousness gradually blurred. This man's arms were warm, safe, and comfortable, and ...... last thought that crossed my mind before I fell asleep.
