Chapter 105: The Assassin in Black

Li Ji and Monk Zhikong persevered behind the old man in white and the other three people, chased them for several streets, turned countless corners, and found them hiding in a dilapidated mansion.

Li Ji was out of breath, holding his knees panting like a cow, and said: "Grandma's, these grandsons, can really run, are they being chased by ghosts? It's really hateful, setting up a game in the ring, drugged and cheating money, if I catch him, I have to beat him all over the ground to find teeth!"

When his breath evened out a little, the corners of his mouth hooked happily again, because he knew that the place where these liars hid was a dead end.

Monk Zhikong listened to Li Ji intermittently tell what happened in the ring, and he was already angry, without saying a word, rolled up his sleeves, raised his fist, and rushed directly to the gate of the house.

A terrible cry suddenly sounded, which seemed to be full of horror and weirdness, so frightened that Li Ji shook violently and shouted, "Great monk, what's wrong?"

As soon as the words fell, I suddenly felt a black shadow flash in the corner of my eye, and before I could react, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head, and my eyes were dark, and I didn't know anything.

After a long time, a basin of cold water was splashed on Li Ji and Monk Zhikong, and they woke up leisurely, and soon found themselves tied to a pillar, unable to move at all.

At this time, it was already dusk, and there was a dilapidated scene as far as the eye could see, and there was a horizontal plaque hanging on the hall, because the years were long, after the wind and rain, the lacquer font was mottled, and it was impossible to tell what words were written on it. The courtyard wall is also very old, and the wall is overgrown with wild grass, and it seems that no one has repaired and maintained it for a long time.

The frescoes in the hall have long since peeled off, and the gilt on the statue of the god has also fallen off, revealing a bronze base with mottled rust.

The old man in white sitting in the distance made a firewood pile, and the sparks "poofed" and bubbled, reflecting the faces of Li Ji and Monk Zhikong.

They had completely come to their senses, realizing that this was an abandoned temple, and when they rushed in just now, they were attacked by the old man in white in the dark, and now they had become fish and meat for others.

Li Ji immediately shouted angrily at the old man in white: "Dead old man!"

When the old man in white saw him wake up, he walked over with a weird smile, patted him on the cheek, and said, "Stinky boy, dare to chase me if you do bad things for me?"

Li Ji looked at him as usual, but his tone was extremely gloomy, and he couldn't help but shudder, he struggled a few times, but found that the rope was tied strongly, and he couldn't break free at all, so he couldn't help but shout: "Let go of me!"

The old man in white just smiled and said nothing, quietly watching the anxious appearance of the two.

With his intuition, Li Ji smelled a hint of conspiracy, and secretly said, "I'm afraid the dead old man is thinking about how to deal with us?"

Through the firelight, you can see that this ancient temple is indeed old, the ruins are broken, the cobwebs are intricate, and the ground is thick with a thick layer of dust.

The old man in white dusted off his clothes, his face was the same as before, he still squatted down, and said to Li Ji gently: "The more you struggle, the tighter it is, I advise you to save some effort!"

Li Ji scolded angrily: "Dead old man, you are so despicable and shameless, in broad daylight, bright and clear, in full view of everyone, you set up a situation to cheat, secretly attack, kidnap and hurt people, and you are not afraid of retribution!"

The strong man in black walked out of the backyard with a gloomy face, and raised his hand with a palm: "Stinky boy, you dare to be hard-mouthed!"

Hearing only a crisp sound of "crackling", a clear blood-red palm print appeared on Li Ji's cheek.

Monk Zhikong said angrily: "Bastard, you dare to fight the little hero and look for death......"

Before he finished speaking, the strong man in black slapped his backhand again, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of Monk Zhikong's mouth.

I only heard the strong man sneer, and said sarcastically unceremoniously: "Boss Yu hasn't asked yet, it's not your turn to speak." ”

The old man in white named Boss Yu sneered: "Retribution? For people like us who live a hard life, the day is precarious, and there is no fixed place to live, so it is good to be able to live well in the present. ”

Li Ji pursed his lips and sneered: "The gentleman thinks it is good, the villain thinks it is evil, the gentleman does good things with his talents, and the villain does bad things with his talents." If you are willing to fall, I have nothing to say!"

"Stinky boy, who do you say is the villain?" Hearing this, the strong man in black raised his hand and wanted to slap him again.

Boss Yu stopped him: "Black Bull, forget it, this stinky boy has a hard mouth, it's useless for you to kill him!"

The strong man named Hei Niu said: "Boss Yu, today we were smashed by this stinky boy, and we can't get along in Yangxian, how can we let him go easily?"

"That's okay, who told us to go out without looking at the yellow calendar, bumping into such an evil boy, count us unlucky, let's find another way to make money!" The old man in white shook his head, his face suddenly showed worry, and said, "How is Xi'er?"

Hei Niu said: "It's nothing, now rest in the backyard, and it will be good when the effect of the medicine fades later!"

Boss Yu relaxed a little when he heard this.

Li Ji asked: "I said dead old man, let's loosen our ties, otherwise we will go to the official's house, it's not a joke!"

The old man in white squinted his eyes and pinched his fingers and calculated: "Our business was smashed by you, and we have to pay a hundred taels as compensation!"

Li Ji sneered: "Hehe, lose money? I haven't asked you to get back ten taels of silver, and you have the shame to ask me for a hundred taels, which is really ridiculous! ”

At night, a noisy sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the silent alley, and someone stayed in the courtyard and shouted in a deep voice: "Listen, come out and surrender, otherwise you will be killed!"

The black bull pressed his hands tightly on Li Ji's shoulders, as if he was about to crush them, and roared angrily: "Stinky boy, you dare to report to the officials to arrest us!"

Li Ji was caught by him and was in pain, and said, "I didn't report to the official......"

"Stinky boy, you still ......have a hard mouth," he said, and the strong man in black increased his claws again, so painful that Li Ji almost fainted.

"Stop!"

There was a cry from the backyard, and Li Ji looked up, only to see a young girl named Xi'er slowly appearing in front of everyone, and her face had faded from the veil at this time.

She has a slender figure, a pair of eyes like two clear springs, delicate appearance, elegant conversation, and generous manners.

Li Ji originally thought that the person who was abducted and deceived must not look very good, but at this moment, he found that this girl was a first-class beauty embryo in terms of figure and appearance.

Xi'er listened quietly for a moment and said, "It's not necessarily officers and soldiers outside, it seems to be coming for us." ”

The old man in white looked puzzled and said, "Xi'er, how do you know?"

"If it were officers and soldiers, they would have broken into the door by now, but they outflanked first, and their actions were secretive, and it seemed that they didn't want to slip through the net, and it seemed that they wanted to kill them all. ”

Hei Niu was a little unconvinced, and said, "You mean these people are not officers and soldiers?"

Ciel nodded and said, "Yes, it's very likely that it's the killer who came at us." ”

Hearing this, Boss Yu and Hei Niu were shocked in their hearts, and a trace of panic flashed on their faces, but they quickly calmed down.

They have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and they are doing some illegal things, which naturally offends many people of all shapes, and of course, it is not excluded that some people spend money to hire murderers.

Hei Niu picked up a wooden stick placed in the corner of the wall and asked, "Boss Yu, what now?"

Boss Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Since it has been heavily surrounded, now that the matter has come to this, there is no other way but to fight with them." ”

In the interval between speaking, more than a dozen black-clothed people fell from the wall, with cold faces, swords in their hands, glowing with cold light, and surrounded them as soon as they entered the house.

The man in black asked coldly, "Which one is Boss Yu?"

Boss Yu was slightly startled and said, "I am, I don't know what you're looking for me?"

The man in black said gloomily: "Kill you!"

After speaking, he slashed with a knife, and Boss Yu quickly dodged and dodged the fatal knife.

Seeing this, the black bull hurriedly came to the rescue, only to see him pick up his arm, exert all his strength, and punch the man in black in the face, causing him to fly upside down for more than a few feet.

Worthy of the name Black Bull, people are like brute beasts, extremely ferocious, innate with infinite strength, even if they do not practice superior exercises, they can tear lions and tigers alive, far more powerful than ordinary people.

But these black-clothed people didn't seem to be afraid, and several people surrounded them, swords and swords and shadows, densely covering their bodies, forcing the black bull to retreat again and again.

Xi'er suddenly shouted: "Brother Black Bull, be careful behind your back." ”

Unfortunately, it was still a step too late, and a man in black hid in the corner, holding a bow and crossbow, and shot at the back of the black bull.

The bow and crossbow are powerful and domineering, and the arrows are very penetrating, and the speed of the shot is beyond the dodge.

The black bull heard a loud roar suddenly coming from behind him, tearing the air and making a screeching sound, and was immediately shocked, and hurriedly retreated in horror.

However, under the confusion, his movements and reactions inevitably slowed down, and the wooden stick in his hand was cut off, making it impossible to parry.

Although he avoided the catastrophe of an arrow piercing his chest, his broad shoulders were still pierced by sharp arrows, and red blood suddenly gushed out, staining his clothes red in an instant.

"Uh......" The black bull squeezed a painful wail out of his throat, and his knees went limp and he fell directly to the ground.

He clutched the penetrated wound on his shoulder, but he couldn't suppress the blood that was spilling, and he convulsed involuntarily.

"Brother Black Bull......" Xi'er screamed, and two pink ribbons hit the crossbowman with a gust of wind, seemingly soft ribbons, but like two sharp knives, they have the potential to cut everything.

Seeing the streamers coming towards him, the crossbowman quickly flashed sideways, but the two streamers seemed to have a sense of force, and as soon as they flashed, the streamers automatically changed direction and hit their faces.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and immediately tilted his head, because the speed of the streamer was too fast, although it flashed, but there was still a cut on his face.

The man in black saw that Xi'er's skills were extraordinary, and he didn't dare to be careless, and at the moment he gathered his skills, only to see the brilliant sword light flashing and flashing, and he couldn't see how he made a knife at all.

Ciel hurriedly blocked the attack with the streamer, and then slammed a harrier over and kicked him in the back of the head, and the bear-like body flew out upside down and slammed into the gate not far away.

There was a loud "boom", and the whole courtyard trembled like an earthquake.
