Chapter 1835: Fierce Battle in the Alley!
Taiyuan City, on the street outside Wenchangfang, there was a dead silence at this time.
Dugu Xin was confronting the air with bated breath, and just before, on the wall around him, dozens of arrows glowing with light suddenly shot at him, if it weren't for the martial arts master of the Grandmaster Realm, if it weren't for the fact that Dugu Jiu's sword technique was really exquisite, just this round of volleys was enough to make him injured!
Due to the opponent's sudden attack in the shadows, Dugu Xin focused all his attention on swordsmanship moves and saving his life, so he did not pay attention to the specific location of the enemy at that time. Now that the enemy's offensive has been suspended, Dugu Xin finally has time to look at the surrounding environment, but at this time, there is no one around him, if it weren't for the dozens of severed arrows still "lying" on the ground, Dugu Xin thought that the terrifying scene he had just experienced was an illusion!
Master!
Among the other party, there are definitely martial arts masters, and there is more than one person!
Because when Dugu Xin was resisting the rain of arrows, he clearly felt that several of the feather arrows carried a huge amount of true qi, and the martial arts realm of the archers was definitely at the peak of the qi or above! And except for those extremely strong True Qi Feather Arrows, the assassin skills of the rest of the archery should be good, all above the Qi Transformation Realm!
How did such a powerful assassination team infiltrate Taiyuan City? And why did you choose to attack yourself at this time?
At this moment, many questions flashed through Dugu Xin's mind!
Since he went to the south of the city this time just to see if Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan were caught, when he came out of the post house, he didn't bring any guards, not only did he not bring any guards, but he didn't even bring the distress fireworks issued by the forbidden army! At this time, he was alone, but he still had no fear!
"Woo Woo Woo ~!"
Dugu Xin happened to be standing at the intersection of the two square roads at this moment, his upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right corners were the walls of the people's square, just when Dugu Xin was holding his breath and being on guard, above the walls of the four people's houses, dozens of black-clothed masked people suddenly came out of their heads, and in the face of Dugu Xin's questioning, they did not make a sound, but directly responded with a new round of arrow rain!
"Humph! Dugu Nine Swords - Broken Arrow Type! ”
Dugu Xin was defenseless before, and that round of arrow salvo couldn't hurt him, at this time he was already on guard, how could he be afraid of the black-clothed assassin's old tricks repeatedly? I only heard him snort coldly, and then the tip of the long sword in his hand trembled, and he went to the arrows that shot towards his body one by one, the speed of his sword was too fast, ordinary people could only see countless vague sword shadows in the air, and then, they heard a crisp sound of "ding ding ding", and dozens of arrows all fell on the bluestone slab on the ground!
Compared with the previous response, Duguxin's response this time was more calm and light! Obviously, with his full defense, the salvo of these dozens of black-clothed masters could not hurt him!
Dugu Nine Swords' "Broken Arrow Style" is the supreme swordsmanship of cracking all kinds of hidden weapons, but Dugu Xin has just just gotten a glimpse of the door, if he is a master of Dugu Nine Swords, with this move alone, he can not only resolve his own crisis, but also bounce back the arrows shot by the enemy to hurt the enemy!
But Rao is so, it is completely enough for the current Dugu Xin! Because this move can not only break the enemy's most threatening arrow salvo, but the most important thing is that Dugu Jiujian is not heavy-shaped, and there are no moves to win with no moves, and the consumption of true qi is not much!
So even if these black-clothed masters shoot a salvo with bows and arrows here for an hour, Dugu Xin is still confident that he can resist with a broken arrow!
This is Taiyuan City, there are not only patrol officials in the city, but also garrison guards, as long as he drags these black-clothed people for a quarter of an hour, he will definitely be able to wait for the rescue, so Dugu Xin is not very worried about his life at the moment! Unless, these black-clothed masters in front of them have other means!
"Pierce your hands, scatter smoke!"
On the east wall, a black-clad masked man put away his longbow, quickly took out a small gray muslin purse from his bosom, and whispered to his surroundings.
This man speaks Turkic, and Dugu believes and doesn't understand!
Looks like this guy should be the leader of this gang of masked men. Obviously, after seeing Dugu Xin's exquisite swordsmanship and superb martial arts realm, he also understood that it was difficult to hurt Dugu Xin just by relying on the salvo of arrows that they had tried and tested in their previous assassinations, and their assassination today must be resolved quickly, so he had to change his strategy and abandon the bow and use poison!
It just so happens that they are all masked, and even if they release poisonous smoke, they will not poison themselves!
After the masked leader gave the order, the black-clothed men on the walls around Dugu Xin took out the medicinal powder wrapped in gray muslin from their arms, and then smashed it in the direction of Dugu Xin!
All this came a little fast, and it also caught Duguxin off guard. He could see that these men in black were not smashing at him with hidden weapons, but they were definitely not good things, and it was very likely that they were some drugs that could make him incapacitated!
Twenty-two small packages spread out on the top of Dugu Xin's head, and the white medicine powder in the package suddenly poured down, although Dugu Xin's Dugu Nine Swords - Broken Arrow Type can prevent the rain of arrows in the sky, but how can it prevent the smoke and dust of the medicine powder in the sky?
Dugu Xin immediately held his breath and retreated backwards like lightning, he was facing the east at this time, and retreating backwards was retreating to the west, but coincidentally, it was the east wind blowing in Taiyuan City at this time! Although Dugu Xin retreated quickly, the smoke and dust of the medicinal powder in the sky were blown by the wind, and he inevitably inhaled some medicinal powder!
"Kill! Quick! ”
The masked assassin led by him roared, drew the long sword at his waist, and the whole person rose from the wall, and then slashed towards Dugu Xin!
The other twenty-one assassins followed the movements of the leading assassins, and also drew their swords and slashed towards Dugu Xin!
"Humph! Well done! Lone Wind Swordsmanship! ”
Dugu Xin was not afraid at all, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes! Previously, these assassins carried out long-range attacks on the wall, and it was not easy for him to break them one by one, because it was difficult for his body to change direction in the air, if he went up to the wall with light skills and killed a certain assassin, the rest of the assassins would definitely shoot arrows at him at the first time, at that time, not only was it difficult for him to change the position of his body in the air, but even the Dugu Nine Swords-Breaking Arrow Style was difficult to deploy!
Now these are taking the initiative to give up the long-range attack method at this moment, and switch to close combat, which can be said to be in line with Dugu Xin's mind, because when it comes to melee fighting, he has mastered the Lone Wind Sword Technique and Dugu Sword Technique, and he is not afraid of these black-clothed assassins at all!
I saw Dugu Xin's whole person rise into the air, spinning in the air, and the dazzling sword light rushed straight up, like a brilliant silver dragon, and the pure and arrogant sword intent filled the entire alley, and then, I saw that the dazzling sword light in an instant, in turn, greeted the twenty-two sharp swords coming from all directions!
"Ding Ding Ding~!"
A piercing metallic sound suddenly resounded through this area. Since it was almost an hour or so at this time, those who should have gone out to work had already gone to work, and those who should have gone to the market to buy things had already gone, so there were no pedestrians in the lanes here, but this thorny metal sound inevitably alarmed many people in the house!
Some bold "melon-eating masses" are rushing to this side!
"Humph! Dying! ”
At this time, the masked assassin led by him couldn't help but snort coldly.
Duguxin couldn't help but be stunned, because the assassin leader spoke Chinese this time!
"Are you Han?"
Dugu Xin subconsciously couldn't help but exclaim.
It's just that his mouth inevitably inhaled some medicinal powder in the air, and after realizing that something was wrong, Dugu Xin hurriedly shut up again.
And the leader of the assassins snorted coldly at this time, and the whole person's momentum suddenly changed, and his whole body was full of true qi, and the long sword in his hand was sword qi, and he let out a loud sword roar, and then he suddenly disappeared from the place!
Right! It's just that the whole person suddenly disappeared!
Dugu Xin suddenly became alarmed, and subconsciously used the starting method, slightly deflecting his body three inches to the right, and at the same time, a long sword glowing with a light blue glow appeared on the left side of his body without warning, grazing the belt on his body, and stabbed forward so fiercely!
Apparently, the vanishing leader of the men in black launched a deadly attack from behind him!
If it weren't for Dugu Xin's subconscious slight tilt to the right, this sword would probably directly pierce his entire person!
Grandmaster!
This was the first time Dugu Xin had fought head-on with the assassin leader, but it was this time that he understood that he had underestimated the strength of the other party, this black-clothed assassin leader turned out to be a master of the martial arts of the Grandmaster Realm, and it seemed that he was also a master of the Grandmaster Realm who was good at assassination!
At this moment, Dugu Xin suddenly felt a little dizzy in his head, he understood that this was the medicine powder that the other party had sprinkled before, which made him can't help but feel a pang in his heart, the other party's strength is higher than his previous estimate, not to mention, he has now been poisoned by the other party, it can really be said that the house leak coincided with the overnight rain, and the ship broke and encountered the head wind!
Dugu knew in his confidence that if he couldn't get out of trouble in a short time, or if the reinforcements couldn't arrive before he fell, then he would probably be completely explained here today!
"Huh?"
The killing blow missed, and the leader of the assassins was shocked, and then, he raised his sleeves lightly, and several cold lights shot out from his sleeves, heading straight for Dugu Xin's front door!
Hidden weapon! This assassin leader, as a master of the Grandmaster Realm, even carries a hidden weapon with him, which really refreshes Dugu Xin's "three views"!
Because the martial artists who generally step into the realm of the grandmaster have their own pride, such as hidden weapons and poisons, which are generally disdainful of use, and the black-clothed assassin leader in front of him not only uses poisons, but also carries hidden weapons with him, which is really everything!
Although these cold lights seem to be nothing more than thin needles, and they can't cause much damage when they pierce the body, but after comprehending the ruthless methods of the black-clothed assassin leader, Dugu Xin doesn't dare to use his body to make a hard connection, because God knows if the other party will smear poison on the hidden weapon?
At the critical moment, Dugu Xin retreated sharply backwards, and once again used the arrow-breaking style in Dugu Nine Swords to deal with all kinds of hidden weapons, only to see the long sword in his hand flying up and down, and the more than ten thin needles shot out by the leader of the man in black were all shot down by the long sword in Dugu Xin's hand and fell to the ground!
But at the same time, the rest of the assassins behind Dugu Xin, taking advantage of Dugu Xin's breath, took advantage of Dugu Xin's breath to stab Dugu Xin's back fiercely with their long swords!
Feeling the sword qi surging behind him, Dugu Xin forcibly dodged his luck true qi, but the dizziness in his head became stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help but stumble and almost fell to the ground, while the tip of the long sword behind him was getting closer and closer to him!
"I can't die here!"
The strong sense of survival made Dugu Xin's mind appear clear for a moment, and Dugu Xin also carried out the Dugu family's unique footwork, and evaded the sneak attack of the assassins behind him!
A hint of banter flashed in the eyes of the assassin leader, obviously, he had already seen that Dugu Xin's state at this time was at the end of his crossbow!
"Hmph~! Let's see how long you can last~! ”
The leader of the assassins let out a low shout, and his figure disappeared from the spot again, and the next moment, he actually appeared above Dugu Xin's head, Dugu Xin bit the tip of his tongue fiercely to keep himself awake, and then, he used the starting method again and flashed back from the spot!
At this time, Dugu Xin no longer wants to hurt or kill the other party, his strength and state do not allow it, he only wants to save his life before the reinforcements arrive!
Since the Lone Wind Sword Technique and the Dugu Nine Swords are both sword moves that only attack and cannot defend, at this time, Dugu Xin has even given up using sword moves and only cares about dodging with his body!
In other words, if Li Zexuan had taught the mystery of Tai Chi swordsmanship to Dugu Xin before, Dugu Xin would not have been so struggling at this moment, because the "Quanshou" version of Tai Chi swordsmanship is not only amazingly defensive, but also far less than other sword moves for martial artists' physical strength and true qi, which is the most suitable for Dugu Xin's current situation!
Dugu Xin was struggling to resist the surging attack of the drug and the black-clothed assassins with his tenacious willpower here, and a black-clothed man with a round collar was running away from the end of the alley at this time in the direction of due north, if you are familiar with the Wang family, you will definitely be able to tell that this is the secret guard of the Wang family!
Because Bai Qing was afraid that his credit would be robbed, he went back to the Wang family's ancestral house alone to report the news, and the secret guards of the Wang family distributed in other parts of the city did not know that Wang Chengwu had already captured Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan under the leadership of Wang Qing, so they were still searching for the whereabouts of these two people in various people's houses!
The battle between Dugu Xin and the black-clothed assassins can disturb the people in the houses, and naturally it will also alarm the nearby Wang family secret guards, and when Dugu Xin led the army into the city yesterday, many people in Taiyuan City have seen Dugu Xin's appearance, including some Wang family secret guards!
Coincidentally, the secret guard of the Wang family, who was in charge of searching this area, had seen Duguxin yesterday!
So when he saw Duguxin assassinated, he hurriedly ran back to report the news!
