In the middle of the night, it was silent.

The slender and straight young man was wearing a purple suit, standing motionless in the most luxurious private room of the Handan Inn.

His face was sleepy-eyed. His ears, however, were silent, catching the sound of the wind and the fluctuations of the air.

In order to hear further, he slowly closed his eyes, and looked like a person who had fallen asleep standing up. But in this way, his sense of hearing and perception will be sharper.

The entire guest of the inn fell asleep. All the mantis can hear is heavy or light breathing.

In the distance on the street there were two wild cats, and farther away, a wild dog ran past.

It was very quiet, except for the autumn night wind, which blew uncontrollably, rolling up the fallen leaves that had drained the water and making a sound on the ground.

The mantis opened his eyes after confirming that everything was normal. He tied the masked black scarf behind his head, jumped lightly, and quickly climbed out of the back window of the inn without a sound.

Like a gecko hanging on the back wall of the inn, he slid down at great speed and fell into the grass by the river behind him.

The creek behind the inn leads to the palace. Along the artemisia grass by the river, the mantis used the technique of retreating, and crawled close to the ground very quickly.

From a distance, the river is nothing more than patches of grass that have been bent more by the wind.

Childe Jia stood up from the ledger of bamboo slips. Since he apprenticed at the Hanshan Academy, he has to go to the courtyard to practice at midnight every day.

He first played the "Breaking the Void Fist Technique" that flowed through the clouds and water, and then familiarized himself with the swordsmanship "Fufeng Sword Technique" and "Liuyun Sword Technique" that Master Lu Ming had taught him successively.

He still only replaced the long sword with a branch more than two feet long. When he infused all his true qi into sword intent, the branches of the tree were entwined with white qi, sharp and fast.

After a trip to fist and foot swordsmanship, Gongzi Jia was refreshed. He was just about to meditate cross-legged pranayama in the courtyard when he faintly heard some chaotic voices in the distance.

He took a few steps and jumped onto the top of the highest hall of Jingming Palace, looking into the distance.

Gongzijia saw two places that seemed to be faintly filled with smoke and fire. Judging by the location, one should be the palace prison, and the other is the judicial prison.

There are three prisons in Handan City, and there is one prison in the palace; There is a judicial prison; There is also a place where the Handan Mansion Prison is located.

Two of the three prisons had a faint glow of fire. Childe Jia's heart sank. Almost without thinking, he instinctively ran towards the only prison that was not on fire.

In the past few days in Handan City, the virtual mantis has already stepped on a little bit.

The three killers A, Ding, and E, because the ghost stacking array they cast in full view of the heroes meeting was too terrifying, so after Zhao Guo captured them, they have been imprisoned in three different prisons, beware of the possibility that the three of them may work together or be robbed and attacked.

Once the three top killers were imprisoned, they couldn't escape. Twelve iron chains were locked, and they were fed and drank herbs that were soft and soft and dispersed their true qi every day, and almost all of them had been temporarily abolished from martial arts.

In the past few days, it has been determined that the palace is locked up by "A", the judicial prison is locked up by "Ding", and the "Xu" is locked in the prison of the Handan Mansion.

Unhurriedly, he set fire to the two prisons, and the mantis quickly moved towards the prison in Handan Mansion.

In Handan City, I saw from afar that the other two prisons were on fire, and the Handan Mansion was probably on strict alert.

But this time, the mantis did not light a fire in the prison, but set a fire to a large family in the upwind half a street away from the prison.

The fire was blown by the cool night breeze of autumn, and it became more and more violent. The firefighters and the rescuers quickly became chaotic.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the mantis followed the wind and lifted a packet of medicinal powder in his shirt into the air. It was called "Ten Steps Down", which was mixed into the thick smoke and blew towards the government prison at the downwind outlet.

The mantis climbed onto the prison wall. His body was still the flexibility of a young man, and as he climbed over the wall, he drew a beautiful arc in the air, and his voice fell into the courtyard very softly.

In fact, the Handan Mansion Yada Prison is the most loosely guarded of the three prisons.

Dressed in a purple night suit, covered with a black scarf, the virtual mantis is as fast as a raccoon cat's prey, walking in the shadows of the dark prison courtyard, it is difficult to be found.

He hurried to the entrance of the cell, and saw that the two cell heads, who might have been bored guarding the door, had now been hit by "ten steps".

One is already dazed and dozing, while the other is still open, but his eyes can no longer focus, and he is also half-asleep and half-awake.

The mantis quickly hit two mourning nails, hitting the two. The two of them did not make a sound, and fell on the spot. The mantis pounced on them and pulled out a large string of keys from them.

The key was inserted into the lock hole and spun with a click, and the door to the prison opened.

The mantis saw the patrol soldiers who had been drugged upside down. He slapped the wind and first broke the lock of the prison door.

If this gate is locked by outsiders, then the way to retreat will be blocked.

The prison guards in Handan Prefecture are divided into three floors. The outermost two layers of guards and soldiers have been eliminated by the Void Mantis.

He ran forward at a rapid pace. The lights and candles on the walls had not yet been extinguished, flickering and dimming, making the Void Mantis seem to be shuttling on a completely endless netherworld path.

There are irregular protruding stone bricks on the walls on both sides, and in the trance light, they look strange and gloomy, as if they are tombstones.

Yes, the mantis remembered. There is such a tombstone in his house, which is in the barren grass not far from the old house, half buried in the ground, and half skewed on the ground.

His parents were buried in it. They were both hacked to death in an instant in an instant during a war-torn attack.

One second they were still shouting the name of the mantis, and the next second they were already separated.

The Void Mantis Blade can now also make people's heads fly away within one-tenth of a snap of their fingers, or open their unwilling eyes, or open their mouths for the last cry, and leave their bodies.

Occasionally, the mantis would wonder if the people he killed also had a three-year-old child, and would also need a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy to save the child from the knife.

But most of the time, the mantis can't think about it that much.

Just like now, he rolled lightly, crossed the second door, clinged to the dark wall, dodged the area where the fire candle could shine on the wall, and quickly rushed towards the third door.

The key to the last door, like the previous one, hangs from the large set of keys. It only took two tries before finding the key to unlock the lock.

Through the iron fence, he had already made another funeral nail, and quickly brought down the four jailers on duty in the prison who had not yet been all drugged.

Then he swooped through the air and slammed open the last prison gate. His movements were extremely light, his back arched in a beautiful arc, and he flew steadily in front of a prison at the end.

At this moment, the eyes of the mantis were no longer awake, but shimmered, which did not match his young man's slender figure and clean face.

With a little effort, the mantis found the key that opened the highest-level cell in this government prison.

The cell was almost completely enclosed at the end of the long corridor. The inside of the cell was dark and smelly, and the occasional sound of chains scraping against each other could be heard.

The mantis quickly lit a torch on the wall that was almost burned out with a scythe.

For a moment, there was a faint light in the cell, but it still did not shine on the man in the depths of the cell, who was chained.

"Brother," the voice of the mantis trembled slightly, "I'm here." ”

A faint voice in the darkness asked, "Little mantis, is that you?" ”

"It's me, Brother Bitter Locust, I'm here!" This time, there was some excitement in the voice of the mantis.

He applied the shadow of the darkness with great speed. He had already identified the man he was familiar with from the voice and silhouette, "E" in the Tiangan Killer, codenamed "Bitter Locust".

The mantis was neatly shaped, flew to the side of the bitter locust bound by chains, and pulled his hands over the bitter locust's face and shouted in a low voice: "Brother, you wait." Let's go."

With that, he returned to the guards who had been stunned by him just now, and after feeling around, he finally found the key to unlock the shackles.

He turned back to his cell and quickly untied the shackles from the bitter locust.

As soon as the twelve chains were opened, the tall body of the bitter locust suddenly softened to the ground, and his weak whole body had no strength, so he only glanced at the mantis whose face was close at hand, opened his mouth but did not say anything more, and passed out.

The mantis used his arms hard, frowned tightly, bit his lower lip with his teeth, and directly carried the bitter locust on his shoulder, trying to lift the essence of his whole body, exercising lightly, and flying out of the dark and damp cell.

At this moment, the entire government prison has been filled with smoke from the fire.

The mantis took out an antidote from itself and stuffed it into the bitter locust's mouth. Turning out of the cell door, he withdrew to the back of the prison.

Through the shadow of the big tree next to the wall, until the hidden place in the corner behind the mansion, the mantis threw the dragon claw into the wall.

He untied a roll of hemp rope from his waist, tied the bitter locust firmly with the rope, carried it behind his back, and climbed the high wall of the prison with both hands along the rope under the dragon's claws.

Turning over Gao Qiang, because of the weight of the big man, the sound of the virtual mantis landing looks very weighing.

Outside the courtyard of the Fuya Prison is a quiet street that is not unusual. A small carriage, with royal blue curtains, stopped unobtrusively on the side of the road.

It was a delicate carriage that the mantis had prepared in advance for the escape, a delicate carriage with complete formalities and could enter and exit the wealthy at any time.

Carrying the bitter locust on his back, the mantis galloped towards the carriage. He didn't run two steps, and suddenly there was a pause at his feet, and he stood on the spot with the mantis knife in his hand across his chest.

Because in the smoke, the mantis saw that above the carriage, there was a moon-white figure.

The man was picturesque, heroic, and about the same age as the mantis, but with a better calmness and calmness.

I saw that he was behind him with one hand, and in the other hand he was holding an ordinary branch, his back was erect, and he didn't say a word. Although it is standing there quietly, it gives people a continuous deterrent power.

"Who are you?" The mantis asked cautiously.

The figure in the moon-white suit let out a chuckle.

"In my Zhao country, I should be regarded as the master. I would like to ask you, where did you come from and where are you going? ”

The mantis hesitated. In the absence of being able to judge whether the other party is friend or foe, he chooses to remain silent.

"Ying Jia, Zhao Guogongzi Jia." The white shadow of that moon added.

The mantis was stunned. He didn't expect to encounter obstacles here, let alone the former crown prince of Zhao State.

"You're alone?" The mantis looked at it carefully and confirmed that it was Gongzi Jia who he met when he was following all the way, so he asked.

"Alone." Gongzijia said calmly but clearly: "From my Zhao State prison, it shouldn't be so easy to save a person easily. For example, as a person, today is also a hurdle that you must overcome. ”

The mantis untied the rope around his waist and gently lowered Kuzen to sit against the wall.

Then I changed the Bisong Mantis knife in my left hand to my right hand, and drew a knife flower to protect my chest. Then he said, "I don't know what kind of hurdle it is, let my knife test if it is strong?" ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Gongzi Jia to say anything more, and directly raised his knife and killed him.

The person who came was Gongzi Jia. He judged from the two fires that someone was going to rob the prison tonight. It's just that Zhao Guo usually has a limited number of soldiers stationed in the city, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to surround all these prisons for a while.

Gongzijia just wanted to stop the robbers from taking away the important prisoners before the soldiers arrived.

The emerald green pine mantis knife constantly emits a reflected light in the night, looking like a shining jasper, reflecting the coldness of the moonlight.

The mantis is a quick knife hand. His movements were like a touch of purple light and shadow in the wind, and when he jumped and floated, the moonlight was reflected in a strange lilac color.

And Gongzi Jia, at this moment, is like a bright moonlight, unfolding a silver-white figure.

The two of them fought in one place, flying up and down, like two entangled lights and shadows, flickering on the street where the smoke was getting thicker and thicker.

Childe Jia and Void Mantis fought for about thirty rounds, and they didn't feel that they had the upper hand. The branch in his hand was infused with true qi, and when it collided with the Bisong Mantis Knife several times, it was all saved, and he let out a trembling and buzzing sound that could not bear the heavy blow.

The mantis mantis knife in his hand retreated behind him, and at the same time leaped back three steps, dodging Gongzi Jia's sword qi blow in time.

Childe Jia's branch changed very quickly, and once again attacked the eyes of the Void Mantis. The mantis flashed to the left, and its body swayed out, slashing the mantis knife diagonally downward.

Gongzi Jia suddenly lowered his body, dodged this split, and used the "Flying Cloud Piercing" of the Liuyun Sword Technique, and stabbed at the Void Mantis when he lifted the branch upside down.

The void mantis jumped backwards in the air, swept the knife flat, and slashed at Gongzijia's chest with a move of "flat sand and falling geese".

The smoke and dust on the street grew bigger and bigger, and gradually filled people's eyes, and they could no longer see their opponents clearly.

At this time, the stunt of listening to the wind and identifying the position of the virtual mantis was just performed. He closed his eyes slightly, only listening to the sound of the wind brought by the sword qi of Gongzi Jia Shuzhi, and judging where the attack came from.

After a few moves, it made Gongzi Jia, who couldn't see the enemy clearly in the smoke, fall behind. Gongzijia's heart tightened, and he felt the mantis knife of the void mantis attacking him from all directions.

He did two backflips in a row and landed directly back on the wheels. Standing on a high place, the smoke was a little lighter, and he saw the green mantis knife in the purple-clothed young man's hand spinning and attacking him again.
