Chapter 42: The Killer
The night was dark.
The shadows of the trees are swaying.
The figure in front of him quickly escaped from the Xuan Immortal Sect and rushed into a woodland. He seemed to be deliberately controlling his speed, always keeping a certain distance from Lin Xiao.
If Lin Xiao can't catch up, it won't let Lin Xiao lose it.
"Let go of Ling'er!" Lin Xiao's voice was cold.
However, the man in front of him did not respond at all, and his figure flickered, and he came to a valley and stopped.
Sen Han's long sword rested on Ling'er's neck.
Sou!
Lin Xiao landed not far away, confronting the man in black from afar.
Through the faint moonlight, Lin Xiao noticed that the man was dressed in a black robe, with a slender and slender figure.
A sword mark slashed from the left side of the face across the bridge of the nose to the right corner of the mouth, making it look particularly hideous.
"Who are you?" Lin Xiao's long sword pointed directly at the man in black.
"The one who killed you!" a voice without any emotion came from the black-robed voice.
Lin Xiao stared at the guy, he was sure that he hadn't seen each other, "We have a grudge?"
"Nope. "Humanity in black.
"Since there is no enmity, let go of Ling'er immediately!" Lin Xiao stared at the black-robed man.
Hearing this, the black-robed man sneered twice and said, "Although we have no enmity, someone paid me to kill you." Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others. This little girl is just the bait I lured you here, after all, killing people in the Xuan Immortal Sect is not good for me. ”
"If you want me to let her go, you can draw your sword and kill yourself now. My mission is to kill you, and as long as you die, my mission will be completed. The black-robed man looked at Lin Xiao.
"Brother Lin Xiao, go quickly, leave me alone!" Ling'er was a little anxious, she was worried that Lin Xiao would hurt herself for her.
Lin Xiao tightened the talisman in his hand and said firmly, "Ling'er, I won't leave you alone." ”
The words Luo Lin smiled, his face was cold, and he stared at the back, "Killer?"
"Yes. ”
"Are all the killers like this now?"
"Looks like you have some misunderstanding of the killer...... If a killer fights to the death with his target every time, then the killer is estimated to not live long. The killer is not only the means, but also the brain. ”
As he spoke, the black-robed man pointed to his head, "Since I can kill the target and complete the task without using my hands, why should I waste that force?"
Lin Xiao stared at the man, "It seems that you belong to the category with brains." But I'm curious, who hired you to kill me?"
"We never disclose employer information to outsiders. "Humanity in black.
"Oh, I have to know?"
"I'm sorry, you're going to have to be a dead man. ”
After the words fell, the long sword in the black-clothed man's hand flipped slightly, and the blade pressed against Ling'er's white neck.
"I don't have time to grind with you here...... I'll count to three, and if you don't draw your sword and kill yourself, collect her body!"
The long sword reflected the moonlight, and the cold light shone.
"One ......"
The man in black had already begun to count.
Lin Xiao and Ling'er's hearts jumped at the same time.
"Two ......"
Stunned for a moment, the man in black counted to the second number.
"Brother Lin Xiao...... Don't!" Ling'er became anxious.
"Three!"
The air instantly froze, and the long sword in the black-clothed man's hand reflected a fierce cold light.
"Wait a minute!" Lin Xiao shouted at the last moment.
Sonor!
The long sword suddenly stopped, and Lin Xiao's wildly beating heart seemed to pause for half a beat.
With his chest rising and falling violently, Lin smiled and said, "You let her go first!"
Sonor!
Lin Xiao pulled out his long sword and put it on his neck.
"Oh, kind of interesting. But I'm not stupid, I let her go, what if you don't fulfill the contract?" The man in black didn't mean to let Ling'er go at all.
"If you don't let him go first, how do I know if you will kill people after I die?" Lin Xiao looked at the man in black, "You don't have the confidence to kill me, right?"
"Heh, killing you is as easy as cutting leeks. The man in black smiled, "You guy is a little interesting, then I'll play with you." ”
The man in black retracted his sword.
"Brother Lin Xiao!"
Ling'er ran to Lin Xiao for the first time.
"Ling'er, get out of here. Lin Xiao stroked Ling'er who threw herself into his arms.
"No, Ling'er wants to be with Brother Lin Xiao. Ling'er had tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were full of worry.
"Obedient. Lin Xiao's voice was firm, "If Ling'er stays here, Brother Lin Xiao will be distracted...... Brother Lin Xiao still has Ling'er's talisman on his body, and the talisman will protect me from being fine. ”
Lin Xiao looked at Ling'er dotingly.
Ling'er looked at Lin Xiao seriously.
She's smart.
Although she was still worried, she nodded obediently, and then stuffed a scroll-shaped thing into Lin Xiao's arms and quickly left the valley.
When Ling'er walked away, the man in black said: "I have already released the little girl, and the game of cat and mouse should begin."
When the words fell, the momentum of the man in black changed suddenly.
There was a cold light in those dark eyes, which was extremely cruel.
Only a seasoned killer can have that kind of gaze!
The black-clothed man's aura was extremely restrained, making Lin Xiao unable to figure out his details. But one thing is for sure, this guy is definitely the toughest opponent he's faced so far.
Whether it is cultivation or actual combat experience, it is above Lin Xiao!
Lin Xiao was on guard, his face instantly turned cold, and the Eye of the Common People began to spin.
Under the darkness of the night, the man in black did not notice anything unusual.
"Come on!"
The black broken sword is out of the sheath!
Lin Xiao's ghost shadow stepped away, and appeared in front of the man in black in an instant, and the cold light of the long sword flashed, directly hitting the key point of the man in black.
The man in black did not dodge or dodge, stretched out his fingers and flicked them lightly, flicking them on the blade, and a surging force surged.
instantly shook Lin Xiao back.
"The sword is fast, but it's not ruthless enough. The man in black commented indifferently.
Lin Xiao's palm holding the sword at this time was a little numb by the bullet of the man in black, and the huge force poured into his body, which actually made his qi and blood surge.
"This guy is a Grandmaster powerhouse?"
"What damn bastard thinks so highly of me that he hired a Grandmaster Realm master to kill me!"
Lin Xiao scolded secretly in his heart.
But the battle continued, and Lin Xiao didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
The soles of his feet slammed on the ground, and using the perspective function of the Eye of the People, Lin Xiao clearly saw the situation in the body of the man in black.
Spiritual power.
Judging from the abundance of his spiritual power, he is more than ten times that of himself, and he is indeed a grandmaster.
But at the same time, Lin Xiao also discovered a flaw in the man in black.
There was a sword wound on his left chest, which was wrapped in a bandage, and bright red blood seeped out.
It seems to be a new injury!
"No wonder this guy wants me to kill myself, it turns out that he is injured. Haha, the wound is still oozing blood, and it seems that you can't move much. ”
After discovering this situation, the corners of Lin Xiao's mouth hooked up with a sneer.
"Extreme Cold!"
Lin Xiao slashed out with a sword, and thousands of ice spikes broke out of the ground under the ground, stabbing at the man in black.
Then he instantly got close, and the long sword directly attacked the wound on the left chest of the man in black.
The sword is quick and ruthless!
For a while, the man in black fell into passivity.
"Sure enough, there are two hits!But in the face of absolute strength, these are all flower fists and embroidered legs!"
The man in black's long sword swept and directly swept Lin Xiao's long sword away.
With a flip of his wrist, the long sword in the black-clothed man's hand stabbed towards Lin Xiao's throat at an extremely tricky angle.
It's staggering.
In a hurry, Lin Xiao lightly stepped on the ground with the soles of his feet, and moved his body sideways for half a minute, avoiding the vital point.
Thorn ......
Despite this, there were many blood marks on Lin Xiao's arm, and the blood stained the right sleeve!
"It's too slow!"
The man in black didn't know when he approached Lin Xiao, and slammed his palm, which was directly printed on Lin Xiao's chest.
Click!
Lin Xiao's sternum shattered instantly.
The internal organs in the body were shaken and displaced, and the qi and blood surged, and a mouthful of blood spurted out violently.
The body flew upside down like a cannonball.
Bang bang bang......
It smashed five ancient trees before it stopped and smashed on the ground.
Hum!
A mouthful of blood spurted out again, Lin Xiao's face turned pale, and he struggled to get up from the ground.
"It's so strong!" Lin Xiao sighed in his heart.
This guy may be because of the quality of a professional killer, and he has no intention of taking him lightly.
Lin Xiao's mind was racing, and he quickly sketched out a battle plan in his mind.
The gap in strength is too big, and there is only one way to die.
The only way is to outwit.
"That's it. Almost in a flash of light, Lin Xiao had already made up his mind.
The writing wheel is quietly running.
Using the power that the Eye of the Commons bestows on the Eyes of the Living,
A doppelganger manifests, but hides in the bushes at a speed that is indistinguishable to the naked eye.
After that, Lin Xiao covered his chest with his hands and stood up with the trunk of the tree in embarrassment.
"Don't struggle any more, you don't have the slightest chance of getting out alive with me. The man in black looked at Lin Xiao coldly, "Self-defeating, maybe I can keep you a whole corpse." But if I had to do it, it would be hard to say. ”
