Chapter 43: The Ghost by the Bridge

Earlier, on the stone arch bridge near the ferry.

Xu Buling suddenly stopped, raised his hand and hugged Ning Yuhe tightly in his arms, and leaned down hard.

"Ahh......h

Ning Yuhe threw herself into Xu Buling's arms, and immediately panicked, thinking that the apprentice was so excited that he wanted to take advantage of her in this place where there was no one around, but he didn't dare to resist in a panic.

It's just that the moment he was pressed down, Ning Yuhe suddenly saw that the oil-paper umbrella above was neatly cut, and the umbrella bone broke silently, as if the wind swept and blew it off, and he didn't even see the blade.

Suddenly, Ning Yuhe's hair stood on end, knowing that she had been assassinated, if it weren't for Xu Buling's hugging her and forcibly bending over to dodge, the two of them would have been hit.

Ning Yuhe's eyes instantly sharpened, he grabbed the long sword at his waist, and his afterglow scanned the surroundings, but he found no trace of the enemy.

Xu Buling was also angry in his heart, although the six senses were keenly aware that something was wrong, but he didn't see what had cut the umbrella.

Bell—

The slight sound of plucking strings resounded again from the night, barely audible under the cover of the raging river.

Xu Buling unsheathed the long sword at his waist, and stood in front of him by feeling, and the next moment the blade of Xueliang burst out with two sparks, as if something had been cut off, and the sound of the strings breaking also sounded.

Xu Buling knew that a trap had been set up on the bridge, hugged Ning Yuhe, and raised his foot to kick a side kick, kicking on the guardrail of the stone arch bridge, the stone guardrail immediately broke and fell into the river below, there was a sound of a string of strings breaking, and a few pieces of gravel were hanging in the air, obviously with something in the wire tied to it.

The stone bridge fence broke, and the pre-laid trap was naturally destroyed.

The black light blinded the fire and couldn't see the surroundings clearly, Xu Buling stood in place and moved his ears slightly, carefully identifying the faint sound in the rain curtain and the flow of water.

Ning Yuhe's eyes were cautious, leaning on Xu Buling's back with a long sword in his hand, paying attention to the back, and even his breathing was inaudible.

The rain curtain was dashing, and the silence on the stone arch bridge was a little weird, it seemed that he had just accidentally stepped on a trap, and there were no hunters around.

"Let's go."

Xu Buling was not careless, and Ning Yuhe was back to back, slowly moving under the stone arch bridge.

As soon as he took a step, under the guardrail that had just broken, he remembered the sound of clothes breaking through the wind.

Sa –

Ning Yuhe quickly turned his head, the blade of the sword pointed in the direction where the sound came from, but he saw a fiery red shadow rushing up from the edge of the stone bridge, the speed was extremely fast, the figure was pale, through the hazy faint light, it could be seen that it was a hideous and terrifying grimace, his eyes were empty and there were two blood marks, and he held two daggers under the red-clothed embroidered robe, and he pounced directly towards the two, making a sharp howling sound.

Such a terrifying and terrifying scene frightened Xu Buling, who had never believed in ghosts and gods, and Ning Yuhe was directly frightened, screamed, and raised his hand to stab a sword at the façade of the figure.

Xu Buling was not good in the secret way, it was too late to raise his hand to stop it, so he could only raise his hand to grab Ning Yuhe and dodge to the side.

Sure enough, after the long sword pierced into the ghost, the grimace exploded directly, bursting out a cloud of lime powder.

The two of them were attracted by the ghost that suddenly appeared in front of them, and they didn't notice that a shadow covered with night clothes appeared on the stone bridge behind them, and they didn't make a sound between actions, and the ghost in front of them appeared at the same time, and when Xu Buling pulled away Ning Yuhe to avoid the lime powder, the black figure approached quietly like a ghost, and two pitch-black daggers stabbed at the backs of the two.

Ning Yuhe closed his eyes so that the lime powder would fly into his eyes, and he didn't understand what was going on.

Xu Buling saw the trick of attacking the west, although he didn't hear the sound, he could see where his dead end was by virtue of the current situation. The moment he knocked down Ning Yuhe, no matter whether there was anyone behind him or not, he slashed back with a sword.

Ding——

The sound of gold and iron clashing sounded, and the long sword slashed at something.

Xu Buling let go of Ning Yuhe, and the moment he forced the assassin away with his sword, he turned around and stood up again and faced his back, the long sword in his hand was still trembling, and he vaguely saw the black shadow in the rain and jump off the stone bridge.

Xu Buling's body was like electricity, and he flashed to the back of the black shadow and stabbed out with a sword, but it only pierced the corner of his clothes, and the probe was ready to pursue, and there was another sound of strings.

Xu Buling's eyes were full of astonishment, and he quickly raised his head and retreated, this time finally seeing the inky black thin lines flashing in front of his eyes, cutting off a few hairs.

"Ling'er!"

Ning Yuhe's face turned pale with fright, and she wanted to run over to help.

Xu Buling didn't hear the sound of falling into the water, so he secretly said that something was wrong, and when he turned around, the elusive black shadow really pounced on Ning Yuhe, who was unaware, from the other end of the stone arch bridge.

"Be careful!"

After just a few steps, but there was no time to return to help, Xu Buling raised his hand and threw the long sword out, trying to block the black shadow.

Ning Yuhe is also a master of martial arts, and when he saw Xu Buling's eyes, he understood, the long sword in his hand flipped over, and stabbed at the back at a tricky angle from under the sleeve robe, using the Tibetan sword style that the Tang family is famous for.

Ding Ding –

After two soft sounds, one dagger was knocked away by the long sword, and the other dagger caught Ning Yuhe's sword.

The black shadow may be the strongest of Xu Buling's opponents, his movements are so fast that there is almost only an afterimage, and while holding the long sword, he slapped Ning Yuhe's back with a backhand.

Ning Yuhe didn't have time to turn around, so he could only bend down and dodge. Xu Buling's footsteps were extremely fast, and he had already rushed to the front, raising his arm to block the black shadow's arm, but the force was too great, and he still wiped Ning Yuhe's shoulder, and slapped Ning Yuhe with a stumble.

Xu Buling pulled Ning Yuhe down with his left hand, and the five fingers of his right hand were like hooks, trying to grab the black shadow's arm, but only grabbed the sleeve. The black shadow held the dagger upside down in his right hand, but it slashed directly at Xu Buling's throat.

Between the calcium carbide sparks, Xu Buling leaned back to dodge, the dagger swept against his chin, and a punch in his hand blasted out, hitting the black shadow's chest.

The black shadow was not satisfied at all, and the dagger fell short and smashed his elbow on Xu Buling's chest.

Bang –

Swap a trick and make a muffled sound.

Xu Buling's chest was as if he had been hit by a bison, and he took three steps back before stabilizing his body, and his chest turned over in an instant. However, he was born with a non-human physique, and although he was a little ruthless this time, he could completely withstand it.

The black shadow forcibly changed his move, obviously underestimating the strength of Xu Buling's fist, and the whole person flew out directly upside down, breaking the stone bridge guardrail behind him, but before falling, he hooked the stone pillar of the guardrail with his toes, and flipped back lightly.

A short confrontation, but full of dangers.

Xu Buling's heart was beating extremely fast, a few traces of sweat rolled down his forehead, staring at the black shadow that merged with the night, and raised his hand to signal Ning Yuhe to dodge.

Ning Yuhe's face turned pale, maybe it was the first time in his life that he had met such a strong opponent, he had no power to parry, he was not reckless at the moment, handed the sword to Xu Buling, and carefully retreated from the stone bridge from the way he came......
