After Hua Qingmo's voice fell, there was no movement around, and those who were hiding in the shadows just looked at Hua Qingmo vigilantly, and did not impulsively go out because of what she said just now.

Their master had instructed that they needed to be cautious when killing Hua Qingmo, and they must not be brave enough to make a move. This woman is more difficult to deal with than many men, and if she is a little merciless, they are the ones who die.

Seeing that no one came out, Hua Qingmo just used her ability to look around, and her eyes fell on the crescent moon door not far from her.

Just now, she could only hear the steps of those people, and she couldn't tell how many people there were, but now, they were lurking in the shadows, which made her see clearly.

There were a total of eighteen people in ambush around here, all of whom were dressed in black night clothes and masked with black cloth. On his right arm, he carried a crossbow arrow made of black black iron, and a row of short arrows on it, which had the potential to come out of the string.

Eighteen people were located in eight places, and they just surrounded the three of them from all directions. And the place where Hua Qingmo's gaze stayed should be the place where their leader stayed, and the other people seemed to be waiting for this person's order.

"If you don't come out, then Qingmo will pass." Hua Qingmo's voice has not changed, it is still so gentle and gentle, like the bright moon in the night sky, Shu Ya calms her heart. She lifted her footsteps, and was about to move forward when short arrows struck from all directions.

Seeing this, Hua Qingmo, Qinghu and Mao Er suddenly jumped up on their toes. At the same time, the eighteen people hidden in the shadows quickly appeared, and the goal was the same as attacking Hua Qingmo.

The long sword is better than the snow, the black clothes are like the night, and the black and white colors are under the sky, like two extreme rays of light, shooting at them at the speed of lightning and flint.

Seeing that she was about to be besieged by these eighteen people, Hua Qingmo quickly handed Mo Mo to the cat, and then sent the two out of the encirclement with internal force.

Looking at the eighteen long swords that came from the siege, Hua Qingmo held four flowing cloud needles in each hand, and shot towards the southeast without hesitation. At the same time, the black-clothed people in these two places found the attacking silver needle, and quickly blocked it with their swords, and the ten people who were not attacked by the silver needle continued to attack Hua Qingmo without a trace of hesitation.

Except for the Liuyun Needle, Hua Qingmo did not carry weapons with her, so she could only temporarily avoid the attacks of these people. She began to dodge with the short arrows that those people had shot earlier, and her ethereal and smooth posture seemed to be dancing in the air, comfortable, without a trace of panic or helplessness when she was besieged. At the moment of landing, she shot out eight flowing cloud needles again, controlling it with internal force.

The silver needle was like a streamer, chasing after sixteen of them. The sword collided with the silver needle, and the shrill sound was non-stop. Immediately, the sixteen people who had been attacked stepped back, and the sixteen silver needles chased after them as if they contained spirits.

Such a strange stitch made the eighteen people stunned for a moment, except for the sixteen people who were attacked, the remaining two watched from the side for a moment before remembering the mission to assassinate Hua Qingmo.

The two of them attacked Hua Qingmo with swords, and when they were still about two meters away from Hua Qingmo, a long sword suddenly came at a rapid speed and galloped sideways in front of them.

Seeing this, Hua Qingmo quickly caught the Xue Han Sword, and her figure shuttled between the sixteen people like a ghost. After retracting the Flowing Cloud Needle, she didn't hesitate at all, and immediately pulled out the Snow Cold Sword and attacked the eighteen people.

The long swords converged, and the cold and sharp voice continued to come out. The intersecting sword light is like a spark that suddenly rises and disappears little by little, brilliant and short-lived. The sword winds were like the north wind in the harsh winter, and the moment they came to their faces, it was as if the blade was cutting through their faces, and the pain kept coming.

Hua Qingmo was dressed in white, and those assassins were possessed in black. The black and white figures are intricately intertwined, like a storm of constant impact and collision, and the fierce battle is very fierce.

On the stone slab below, the sword marks are intertwined vertically and horizontally, and the broken walls and rubbles that were originally scattered in the courtyard are even more dense with the dazzling white light, as if the coast invaded by a frenzy, and at the moment when the tide receded, all of them were destroyed.

After more than 100 moves, Hua Qingmo had a good time, and she was ready to withdraw and let the Youyun Sixteen Riders clean up these people. Although she has been fighting against these eighteen people for so long and is not at a disadvantage, it is not easy for her to defeat these eighteen people alone. Rather than wasting time fighting them for a long time, let the Shadow Cloud Sixteen Riders clean up the mess.

After deciding, Hua Qingmo immediately instilled internal force into the Xue Han Sword. Suddenly, a layer of white mist appeared on the Snow Cold Sword, and a layer of ice crystals seemed to be generated on the long sword, which was strange and gorgeous.

In an instant, Hua Qingmo raised her sword, and the movements in her hands were too fast to capture with her eyes. Then, several almost invisible sword rays attacked the people besieging her, and the moment the cold light appeared, it seemed like a huge wind and snow attacking.

When the eighteen people used their internal strength to resist Hua Qingmo's attack, she quickly passed the crowd and headed in the direction where the cat was. When she took Mo Mo from the cat's arms, the cat, the green fox, and the cloud evil hidden in the shadows and others quickly came out, and the moon scimitar in her hand was like a round of bright and clear moon.

The two sides fought, and the sword qi came out, and the surrounding weeds and gravel flew in all directions under the attack of the sword qi. In order to avoid accidentally hurting Mo Mo, Hua Qingmo stepped back a little and observed the movements of these people from a distance. Maybe she was suspicious, these people were very similar to Jinyiwei, indeed, they were very similar to Liuxuan, Mobo and others.

Dozens of rounds later, the opponent had already lost the battle, and Yun Xie killed one of them, and then knelt in front of Hua Qingmo with the other person.

"Young master." Yun Xie looked at Hua Qingmo, and there seemed to be a soft smile on his handsome face. He lit the hole of the man in black, and then took off the black cloth that covered his face.

It was an extremely young man, with an ordinary face, but his eyes were as steely as steel. At the moment when the black cloth was taken down by Yun Xie, the man's lips and teeth moved slightly, wanting to bite the poison hidden in his teeth. But Yun Xie had already seen through his intentions, and immediately intervened to stop it and took out the poison.

"What faithfulness!" Hua Qingmo looked at the poison that Yun Xie threw to the ground, and a shallow smile bloomed on her lips that were as colored as cherry blossoms. She stared at the man, trying to see some clues in his body. But all she saw was a white skeleton kneeling on the ground, and nothing else was wrong. However, when she looked closely, Hua Qingmo found that several silver needles had been inserted into the back of the man's head.

Such a discovery reminded Hua Qingmo of the fact that the cat was sealed by a golden needle.

After being silent for a moment, Hua Qingmo looked at him intently, and said loudly: "You have a few silver needles stuck in the back of your head, do you know?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the man's body suddenly stiffened, and the fingers hanging on both sides also made some subtle movements in an instant. He glanced up at Hua Qingmo, then lowered his face again, without saying a word.

From this man's movements and demeanor, Hua Qingmo understood that he knew about it.

But there was nothing but surprise on his face, so it was clear that the silver should not pose any threat to their lives. It's just that he suddenly said this, which made the man a little surprised.

In the next two quarters of an hour, Shuhua, Qinghu and others defeated their opponents one after another. However, the sword was merciless, and by the time it was over, only eight of the eighteen had been captured alive, and the other ten had all died at the hands of the Sixteen Riders of the Clouds.

"Get on your knees." The cat opened her mouth coldly, kicking her in the knee, which was holding the man. When the man knelt down, the cat reached out and tore off the black cloth covering his face, and the man's face made Hua Qingmo stunned.

"Wen Ziran?" Hua Qingmo looked at the man in front of her, her gaze was slightly deep. At the beginning, she felt that Wen Ziran was strange, so she helped him untie the needle, let him stay in the Nine Thousand Years Old Mansion, and sent someone to monitor him, wanting to find out the person behind him, but because too many things happened after that, she didn't care about her. Moreover, there is a brocade guard looking at him, and he doesn't have to bother with it.

So many things happened after that, and she couldn't think of Wen Ziran at all. In addition, she left the Hua Dynasty for nearly a year, and after she came back, she completely forgot about this person's existence.

"Princess Xiao, long time no see." Wen Ziran saw Hua Qingmo, but she was also frank, but greeted her very calmly.

Seeing him like this, Hua Qingmo looked at the others on the Sixteenth Rider of Youyun and commanded, "Go and see if there are any women among those people?" ”

"Yes, young master." The Shadow Cloud Sixteen riders answered, and quickly went to check the faces of the dead killers. After a while, Mianyi picked up a corpse and placed it on the ground.

Looking at the man's face, Hua Qingmo softly called out a name: "Ziyu." ”

After that, Hua Qingmo didn't speak, and the others naturally didn't say much. For a while, this already desolate courtyard was even more dead and silent, as if it was a battlefield after the war, with nothing but death.

The smell of blood permeated the surroundings, and the originally pure white sky was obscured by gray clouds at some point. The cool breeze gradually rose, lifting the corners of everyone's clothes and hair, and there seemed to be no vitality in sight between the flutters.

"Bai Zixiao." After being silent for a long time, Hua Qingmo suddenly said a name, a name that was deep in her bones. Looking at the eight people kneeling in front of him, a faint smile appeared on Hua Qingmo's delicate face, like a new snow, clear and clean: "You are the emperor's eighteen shadow guards, and the emperor asked you to follow Chu Yanqian and listen to his orders." But he also issued a secret order, if you meet Hua Qingmo, don't you kill her, right? ”

Hua Qingmo's words surprised the eight people who were still alive, she was completely right, and she was exactly right.

"How did Princess Xiao know?" Wen Ziran looked at Hua Qingmo and asked with some doubts.

"The Eighteen Shadow Guards were trained by Zi Xiao, so your martial arts path is very similar to that of Liutian." Hua Qingmo's gentle tone remained unchanged, and her shallow smile did not fall in the slightest. "Each of you has been sealed by the golden needle, and you should have had contact with Wenjing. After you were sealed by me before, it should be Situ Xuan who asked you to go to the Nine Thousand Year Old Mansion again, and use this as an excuse to enter the Nine Thousand Year Old Mansion. However, Situ Xuan's letting Wenjing contact you should have been a later thing, otherwise with Wenjing's ability, how could he not solve the needle I cast? ”
