Chapter 144: The spies are released
In the west of Stone City, in a tavern.
Ling Chen and Yue Chaoqun sat at a table, while Mu Feng and the others were hidden in other corners of the tavern.
"Brother Lingchen, I have been busy with affairs these days, and I haven't had time to thank you for your rescue."
Yue Chaoqun hugged his fist towards Ling Chen, showing a grateful look on his face.
"Where the duty lies."
Ling Chen raised his wine glass and said lightly.
"But Brother Lingchen invited me out today, I'm afraid it's not just for a drink." Yue Chaoqun is such a smart character, Ling Chen must have some deep intention when he invited him out.
"Use your Excellency as bait to lure the snake out of the hole."
Ling Chen didn't hide it, the other party's sense of smell was very keen, even if he didn't say it, the other party might be able to guess his intentions.
"Are you sure?" After all, Yue Chaoqun was a person who fought on the battlefield, his face did not change, and he asked calmly,
"I dare not say with complete certainty, if the enemy does not come, we will just drink normally, and act as if nothing happened."
Ling Chen looked at the surrounding environment, there didn't seem to be any particularly powerful aura around him, and it was still unknown whether he could catch a big fish today.
Suddenly, he felt a trace of murderous intent appear on his right, his gaze looked straight at him with a "swish", and the next moment, a middle-aged man in linen clothes suddenly took out a flying knife from his sleeve robe, and then suddenly turned around and burst out, shooting the flying knife at Yue Chaoqun.
Bite!
Ling Chen had to be prepared early, and used his scabbard to block the flying knives that were shooting quickly.
Whew!
The entire table of people actually pulled out their short blades from their sleeves and rushed towards Ling Chen.
More than a dozen darts were thrown at Ling Chen.
Bang Bang!
Ling Chen danced the Tianfu Sword into a sword flower, and flicked all the darts and hidden weapons out of the air.
Bang bang bang!
Mu Feng and Mo Yu and the other four people also overturned the tables and chairs one after another, killing those assassins.
Among the four assassins, one of them was very dexterous, and in the blink of an eye, he had already killed Ling Chen, throwing three darts in a row to block Ling Chen, and then stabbed Yue Chaoqun's neck with a sword.
At the critical moment, Ling Chen could only free his left hand and hit Yue Chaoqun's body with one palm, knocking the latter out of the air, and only then did he dodge the killer sword.
Poof!
The Tianfu Sword in Ling Chen's hand stabbed into the assassin's chest, and the blood-stained blade leaked out of his back, and blood burst out.
Just as Ling Chen's side had just killed one person, two tables nearby were overturned, and more than a dozen assassins disguised as guests attacked again.
"So many people at once?"
Ling Chen's face was slightly shocked, this demon gate had actually installed so many people in the stone city, and all of them were very good and brisk.
It would be fine if he was alone, but behind him, there was also Yue Chaoqun who only had the realm of a martial artist in the First Heavy Realm.
"Bold rats, dare to commit murder here!"
At this moment, several figures rushed out from outside the tavern, and these people were all wearing the costumes of the sect alliance, which made Ling Chen breathe a sigh of relief.
The leader was an old man in a green robe, and as soon as he came in, he shouted at Yue Chaoqun: "General Yue, come to the old man, the old man will definitely do his best to protect you!" ”
This person, Ling Chen is also quite familiar, he is one of the great grandmaster powerhouses guarding Stone City, Elder Han.
"It's Elder Han, that's great. Ling Chen, I didn't expect you to let Elder Han ambush nearby, and you really thought it through. ”
Yue Chaoqun was still a little worried that Ling Chen and a few people would not be able to stop the assassins, but now that a great master has come, no matter how many assassins there are, they can't get close to him.
After that, he was going to move closer to Elder Han's position.
"Wait!"
Ling Chen stopped Yue Chaoqun, his face sank, "I didn't inform Elder Han of this matter at all, how could he be so coincidental and just appear at this point in time?" ”
Originally, Ling Chen was not suspicious, but when Yue Chaoqun said this, he couldn't help but be suspicious, to say that this Elder Han was here to rescue them, it would be too coincidental, he used Yue Chaoqun as a bait to lure the Demon Sect's spies, only the five people in their team, and the Heavenly Punishment Elder knew, this Elder Han would not know about it at all.
"Then according to what you say, this Elder Han may be ......" Yue Chaoqun's complexion also changed, and in his sight, a touch of calm color appeared on that Elder Han's face, and then he suddenly turned his right hand into a claw, and the green true qi condensed and turned into five sharp claws.
"It's not good, retreat!"
Ling Chen secretly screamed that it was not good, and he was also shocked in his heart, this Elder Han, a great grandmaster and powerhouse, turned out to be a spy planted by the Demon Gate in the stone city!
The other party first asked these assassins to do it to confuse the public, and then an Elder Han came out, pretending to be his own person, waiting for the opportunity to do it, and the person who came up with such a process was simply thoughtful and could be said to be foolproof.
It's a pity that Baimi is still a little negligent.
The other party only had a flaw, but fortunately it was detected by Ling Chen, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Boom!
The screen behind Ling Chen suddenly exploded, and the majestic true qi fluctuated, and suddenly exploded, and an old figure, carrying a long-handled broadsword, rushed out.
Ling Chen and Yue Chaoqun dodged to both sides at the same time, and the old figure was carrying a long-handled broadsword, exuding an astonishing momentum, appearing in the center of the two, the blade was like electricity, and it suddenly slashed out from top to bottom.
Click!
Elder Han's True Qi claws were shattered by a split, his palm was injured by the sword qi, and his five fingers were shattered by the strength of the knife, and blood flowed.
The whole person took seven or eight steps backwards, and Elder Han looked at the old man's figure with a frightened expression.
"Elder Heavenly Punishment, you've made a move."
Ling Chen looked at the old man in front of him, but the corners of his mouth swept a smile, but in his heart, he secretly pinched a cold sweat, if the Heavenly Punishment Elder appeared a few breaths late, then this time the matter would be in trouble.
Yue Chaoqun will definitely die, and he himself will hang.
In front of a great grandmaster powerhouse, his current strength does not have much resistance power.
"Elder Han, you turned out to be a spy planted by the Demon Gate, I can't imagine it, if you hadn't taken the initiative to show the fox's tail this time, the old man really didn't know how long you would have to hide it."
The Heavenly Punishment Elder's eyes were very gloomy.
"So this is a trap you have set."
Elder Han also had an ugly face, this Heavenly Punishment Elder rushed out from the screen in the back, which showed that the latter had been hiding there, waiting for the right time to make a move.
His arrival happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.
With the Heavenly Punishment Elder here, the Great Grandmaster of the Sevenfold Realm, he wouldn't have any more chances now.
Escape!
Without the slightest hesitation, Elder Han planned to escape, and while fleeing, he shot out two hidden weapons respectively, shooting at Ling Chen and Yue Chaoqun.
These two secret weapons wanted to hurt the Heavenly Punishment Elder, it was purely a dream, but he didn't believe that the other party would not save these two people, as long as the Heavenly Punishment Elder was distracted, he would be able to escape smoothly.
