Chapter 0438: Killer in the Dark
"Oh no! There's an enemy attack!"
Everyone present was not an ordinary person, and immediately realized that a dangerous attack was coming, and immediately ducked to the side!
Even Cong Wudong and Ke Yi, who were angry with each other, were unequivocal, and the two of them stepped on each other, and their figures immediately flashed!
Bang! A sharp arrow shot at the trunk of a tree, fortunately everyone reacted quickly enough, but they were also scared into a cold sweat by this sudden cold arrow, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, then several cold arrows were shot in succession, and came to everyone in the blink of an eye!
Bang bang bang!
Everyone waved their blades to block the cold arrows, and immediately scanned the surroundings to try to spot the attackers!
"Who launched the raid?"
"What the hell is going on?"
Just when they were puzzled, suddenly a group of black-clad masked men jumped down from the surrounding trees and surrounded them!
These black-clothed masked men all held a cold sword in their hands, and their eyes were cold and murderous!
Seeing this scene, the pride of the heavens of these great sects was suddenly frightened one by one, how could they have seen such a scene, and they never dreamed that they would encounter a group of killers!
"Who are you?" Mu Guan was still calm, staring vigilantly at the black-clothed masked man in front of him, and questioned sharply.
"Huh...... I wanted to watch a battle of geniuses for free, but I was interrupted by your interference, hey...... What a pity!" Although the black-clothed killer facing Mu Guan was masked, it was not difficult to imagine that he must have a playful expression on his face at this moment.
"What are you going to do?" Yingluo couldn't help but speak, but in fact, at this moment, her heart was completely occupied by fear!
"Yo! I didn't expect there to be a delicate little clown, and she looks so smart, if you kill her like this, it's a pity!" Another black-clothed masked killer spoke, his tone was frivolous, and his gaze staring at Yingluo also had a thick lewd light.
"Do you know who Ben Shao is, if Ben Shao is missing a hair, each of you will die without a place to be buried!" deliberately couldn't help but make a loud threat, trying to deter this group of killers.
"Hahaha...... It's ridiculous!" A leading man in black laughed, "You are going to die, do you still want to threaten us with your identity, and although you have an extraordinary identity, who knows who killed you? I really didn't expect that the disciples of the great sect would be so naïve!"
"It turns out that you are a group of killers!" Mu Guan was the first to react, and he felt even more inexplicable in his heart, because he didn't know why this group of killers appeared, and who they really wanted to kill, because in addition to himself, the identities of several other people also had a lot of backgrounds, and everyone could be the target of the killers.
"It seems that you are not stupid, at least you are much better than that annoying guy!" the man in black in the lead smiled, "Accept people's money and eliminate disasters for others! Since there are people who can afford it, then we have to work for them, and you are ready to accept the fate of being killed!"
"Wait!" Mu Guan hurriedly said, "Since you are killers, then you are just working for money, if we are willing to pay a bigger price, then can you give up this mission?"
"Yes, we can come up with a price you can't imagine!" Cong Wudong also hurriedly promised.
The other party is obviously outnumbered, and they are all murderous, and they dare to assassinate them, their strength is definitely not weak, of course Cong Wudong is not sure to escape, if he can settle this life and death crisis by spending money, it is definitely a cost-effective thing.
"Although we also want to make this deal with you, but the rules are the rules, there is no way!" The man in black in the lead shook his head, "So, you only have one way, and that is to die!"
After that, it's ready to go.
"Wait!" Ke Yi couldn't help but speak again, "In our place, there are only one or two people you want to assassinate at most, right, it has nothing to do with anyone else, can you let us go?" and I'm willing to pay a lot of money!"
As soon as he said this, someone immediately expressed support, and it was Cong Wudong, "Yes, I think you also know our identity, and you don't want to cause unnecessary trouble, there is no need for you to kill the rest of us, why don't you raise your noble hand, this is good for everyone!"
It's rare that they can "release their suspicions", and even wear a pair of pants to talk.
Several others agreed, believing that they would not be targeted by the black-clad killers.
However, Luochen smiled disdainfully at this time, "I didn't expect you to be so naïve, since they surrounded each of us, it means that each of us is going to die!"
"Yes, they are professional killers, they never have any sympathy, for them, there is no difference between killing one person and killing a hundred people, although killing all of us will cause dissatisfaction behind us, but it also just hides their purpose and identity, if they only kill someone, and let others go, it is equivalent to telling the whole world, who they are really dealing with, and the forces behind the victim can naturally guess who paid the money, so that you can follow the vine and finally find out the killer organization。 ”
Mu Guan's thinking is very clear, and what he says is the Tao, and he completely reveals the purpose of this group of killers.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The black-clothed man in the lead couldn't help but applaud, "What you said is completely correct, you are worthy of being the son of the sect master of the Yunding Sect, this kind of insight is really very human, it is really admirable!"
Then he looked at Luochen again, and his tone was also full of appreciation, "You are also very good, you are much stronger than them, you can also see the essence of the problem, and you are really worthy of the identity of the core disciple of the Incense Palace, but it's a pity, you are all going to die, but you must not hate us, we are just acting on orders!"
After a pause, he added: "And the place you have chosen is also very perfect, it can be said that there is no more satisfying place than dying here, even your elders will think that you died in the mouth of a mysterious monster." ”
But as soon as he said this, the faces of the others suddenly turned extremely ugly, because it was tantamount to announcing the fate of all of them.
However, Lan Ruoting never said a word, and the beautiful face under the hat also seemed very calm, as if all this had nothing to do with her.
The man in black in the lead also couldn't help but notice her, and at the same time was a little curious, "Why don't you express your opinion?"
"What do I have to say, isn't it the same to say anything to you, no matter how much you say, it's nonsense!" Lan Ruoting's tone also seemed very calm, just a little disdain and ridicule, "Besides, you can't kill me, why should I talk so much nonsense to you?"
Her voice is pleasant and beautiful, like the sound of heaven, around the beam for three days.
But at this moment, as soon as she said this, everyone was stunned, looking at her in disbelief, and even those black-clothed killers focused their eyes on her, not understanding where her confidence came from.
"I didn't expect it to be a little clown again, and her voice is so beautiful, I guess she must be a peerless beauty!" A man in black couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and wanted to reach out and take off the hat on Lan Ruoting's head to see her appearance.
However, he hadn't approached Lan Ruoting yet, but Lan Ruoting had already launched a surprise attack, only to see that with a wave of her arm, she had already sacrificed a strange sword, and pulled a sword flower, and then stabbed at the man in black from the bottom up.
The man in black never expected this sword to come so quickly, just in a flash, a strange blue sword light shot straight in, but when he was about to dodge, it was too late, and before he could even withdraw his outstretched hand, the tip of the sword had already pierced into his chest!
He froze suddenly, his pupils dilated, and he obviously felt death coming!
This scene happened so fast, so fast without premonition, and so fast that it was unimaginable!
However, the man in black in the lead immediately came back to his senses, and at the same time realized what was happening, and immediately yelled: "Do it!"
Suddenly, a big battle was ignited in an instant......
————
The sky was getting darker and darker, and a faint mist had appeared in the forest, and the surrounding scenery was becoming more and more blurred, but it was also extremely quiet, even a little quiet and terrifying! And the air seemed to be filled with a mysterious and dangerous aura, as if something terrible was gloomy in the dark mist.
It was so quiet!
Looking at the tall trees around him, Lin Yan felt a little unusual, he had heard before that some of the brute beasts in this mountain forest had become very crazy, and many adventurers who came here had been attacked by them, that is to say, there should be many brute beasts in this mountain forest. But it's been so long, why haven't you met one?
This puzzled him!
At this time, Qianxun Yue, who had been searching for a long time, had never found anything, coupled with the cold and damp, bursts of cold air kept coming, she had become more and more impatient, and more and more irritable, "Why can't I see the shadow of the blue star begonia, it seems that today is not a good day, let's go back!"
"We haven't been around for long, and the area we searched for is not very big, and will Lanxing Begonia wait for you obediently!" Lin Yan came back to his senses and retorted angrily.
"Then what do you say, are we really just so stupid to spin around like headless flies?" Chihiro exhaled.
"Then do you have a better way?" Lin Yan asked her again, but he also knew that Her Royal Highness a princess like her had definitely never done this kind of coolie, and it was inevitable that there would be no complaints.
However, Qianxun Moon suddenly showed a hint of charm, and her tone became much softer, "If I had a better way, would I not tell you?"
Lin Yan scolded secretly in his heart: This stinky girl, come here again!
However, he didn't show his face, just snorted coldly, "My Royal Highness Princess, you have never done such a chore! If you don't want to continue, no one will stop you!"
also paid attention to how Qianxun Yue would react, and waved his hand to Liang Fengjin and Yang Qiyi, "Let's continue!"
Then he continued to search ahead, unleashing his divine sense, keeping an eye on every inch of land, even the slightest clue!
Seeing that the figures of Lin Yan and the three of them were about to disappear, Qianxunyue suddenly became anxious, and quickly chased after her, while Qi Guanxiong was always guarding behind her, almost not leaving an inch.
After a while, Qi Tian's voice suddenly appeared in Lin Yan's mind, "Attention, there are people fighting a hundred zhang in front, and there are no less than twenty people!"
Lin Yan knew that Qi Tian's divine sense was extremely powerful, and the scope of exploration was also very wide, so he suddenly became highly nervous, and paid attention to every move around him, and suddenly, there was a sound of fighting in front of him, but the distance was still far away, and he couldn't tell who it was.
At this time, Liang Fengjin also noticed the sound, "Childe, there seems to be a fight in the forest ahead, should we go over and take a look?"
"Hmm!" Lin Yan nodded, and immediately, the three of them quickly rushed over there.
As the sound of weapons colliding became clearer and clearer, it didn't take long for the three of them to faintly see that there were several black shadows moving not far ahead.
Who could these people be, and why were they fighting? These two questions immediately appeared in Lin Yan's mind.
Liang Fengjin asked in a low voice, "Childe, should we interfere?"
"No!" Lin Yan shook his head slightly, "But you can see the situation!"
These people who are fighting must have nothing to do with him, and there is no need for him to intervene.
At this moment, Qianxun Yue and Qi Guanxiong also arrived, "Who are they?"
"I don't know, I've just arrived here!" Lin Yan looked at Qianxun Yue, "I thought you were going to go back, why did you follow me here?"
"I didn't say I wanted to go back, but you just thought so. Chihiro looked at Lin Yan with disgust, "Don't forget, we're partners, you can't leave us!"
"Then you should complain less, because it will make people feel very upset. "Lin Yan doesn't have a good airway.
"Well, actually, I ...... too" Qianxun Yue pouted in response, and was about to continue to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Yan, "Shhh......h
The next moment, Qianxunyue immediately shut up, thinking that Lin Yan had made some special discoveries, so she immediately looked around, but found nothing special, and looked at Lin Yan suspiciously.
And Lin Yan pointed to the battlefield not far ahead at this time, "Look over there, the situation seems to be a little weird!"
Although it was dark and in the middle of a dense forest, the visibility was so low that I couldn't see anything clearly, but I could barely see the figures flickering, but I couldn't distinguish them.
However, Lin Yan vaguely noticed that among the group of figures, there was a man wearing a cloak and a hat, holding a very peculiar sword, the sword was constantly flashing with blue light, like a ghost in the dark, full of mystery!
What surprised Lin Yan even more was that this blue light sword was extremely fast, piercing the chests of several black-clothed figures in the blink of an eye, it was as terrifying as the scythe of death!
Chihiro Moon was also immediately attracted by the blue sword, staring at the gray figure holding the sword without blinking, and her heart was also full of shock and curiosity.
She couldn't help but ask, "Who is that, his sword is so weird and terrifying!"
"I don't know, but I'm sure that this person is very mysterious, and that blue light sword is even more mysterious!" Lin Yan shook his head slightly.
Yang Qi interjected at this time, "I feel that the people in black on one side seem to be besieging and killing another group of people, but they have been killed a lot by this person holding the blue light sword, and these people in black may choose to retreat immediately." ”
"Makes sense!" Lin Yan agreed.
Sure enough, as Yang Qi expected, in less than a moment, he suddenly heard a man in black give an order: "Withdraw!"
The next moment, the men in black who were still alive got rid of their opponents and left quickly, the speed was amazing, it was like a gust of wind, and disappeared without a trace!
Seeing that these black-clothed killers had finally left, Mu Guan and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, and one by one they were relieved as if they had been amnestied, and they all set their eyes on Lan Ruoting.
No one present thought that this seemingly weak and silent girl would be so strong, and the strange sword in her hand was even more treacherous, and almost all the people in black who were killed were done by her, and because of her amazing performance, she saved everyone's lives.
There are even people who haven't come back to their senses, looking at Lan Ruoting who is still stunned!
Ke Yi was the first to jump out and praised Lan Ruoting vigorously: "Miss Lan, I really didn't expect you to be so powerful, three times five divided by two, those hateful killers will not be left behind, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would all die here today!"
"Yes, I didn't expect Senior Sister Lan to be so good, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid someone would have gone to hell a long time ago, and you are simply the savior of all of us. Cong Wudong also came back from his stunned state, and hurriedly praised him, and when he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Ke Yi.
Yingluo was even more overjoyed, "Senior Sister Lan, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, and you are deeply hidden, I'm afraid your current strength has already broken through to the True Gang Realm! If you return to the deserted city, your status will definitely be greatly improved, maybe you can compete for the True Inheritance disciple!"
Next is Xianghua and Luochen, who also expressed their admiration and gratitude.
Mu Guan also hurriedly came to Lan Ruoting's face, and bowed very gracefully, "Miss Lan, thank you for retreating from the enemy today, Mu Guan is a big favor from you, as long as you have something to find Mu Guan in the future, Mu Guan will never refuse!"
Or does what he said have practical significance, unlike what other people say is nonsense about not beating food. It can be seen that he is also a very sensible person, and of course, he is also quite scheming.
In fact, he had roughly guessed that the real assassination target of this group of black-clothed people was himself, because at the beginning, the leading black-clothed people were coming at him, and the other party's eyes were always staring at him, even when he was fighting just now, the other party mainly attacked himself.
Fortunately, the strength of the black-clothed killer in this leader is not as strong as imagined, although he is passive, Mu Guan can barely cope with it, and he also used his life-saving hole card, and the other party can't help him for a while.
It can be said that although this distress was thrilling, it was also thrilling, and they only suffered different degrees of trauma, and no one died.
It's just that Mu Guan is very alert and never makes a noise, because that will put him in an extremely dangerous situation.
Lan Ruoting just nodded calmly, not planning to say anything, and obviously didn't care about everyone's praise, and the strange blue light sword in her hand disappeared at some point, as if it had never appeared.
Mu Guan didn't care about Lan Ruoting's response so blandly, and then he turned around, intending to check on the dead black-clothed killers.
However, at this moment, a strange blue light suddenly appeared not far from their feet!
