Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Assassin
On the way back, Xiao Yuan's mind has always been before leaving, the words that the old woman said, how difficult the emperor is, how difficult is the emperor's road, the face is thin, and the sky is jealous of the talent, what do these three idioms portend?
As a fifth-level puppeteer, he clearly felt that the other party's words before were definitely transmitted with soul power, not spiritual power.
From this point, it can be seen that the old woman is a puppeteer, and she is a more powerful existence than herself, and she also knows some secrets that most people in the world do not know.
How difficult it is for Emperor Lu to lose his life, hehe, how could I let this happen.
Hmph, on the path of cultivation, who can stop me? As long as I am strong enough, even the Heavenly Dao will not be able to help me.
Xiao Yuan has secretly made up his mind, no matter what, he will not let what the old woman said happen, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, how bumpy it is, and how big the crisis is, he will go on for nothing else, just for revenge, only for the two women behind him.
"Xi'er!"
Just when Xiao Yuan wanted to say something to Yan Xi, an arrow feather "whoosh" suddenly shot out from the crowd on the side, and quickly shot towards Yan Xi.
Xiao Yuan's face was shocked, and he pushed Yan Xi away without thinking, but the arrow feather hit his right shoulder, "snorting" the sound of the arrow feather entering his body, blood splattered, spraying all over the ground 1.
Fortunately, Xiao Yuan's physique was strong, and the arrow feather only sank into his epidermis.
Yan Xi, who was suddenly pushed away, did not react, and the pedestrians around him did not understand why such a scene suddenly happened.
When Yan Xi turned his head and saw Xiao Yuan's blood-sprayed shoulders, a little worry appeared on his face, and he didn't care if there were still people around him who wanted to assassinate him, whether he would shoot arrow feathers, and he didn't hesitate to move closer to Xiao Yuan.
"Brother, are you okay?" Yan Xi's eyes showed a panicked look, and she said very worriedly, she knew that the previous arrow feather had not been pushed away by Xiao Yuan, and she was afraid that she would have died.
"It's okay!" Xiao Yuan frowned, protected Yan Xi behind him, and then pulled out the arrow feather on his shoulder, and immediately black blood flowed out, obviously there was a poison on this arrow feather.
The poison entered the body, if it was an ordinary person, it would definitely die, but when these poisons wanted to destroy Xiao Yuan's vitality, divine power emerged and devoured these poisons cleanly.
This is divine power, the power that only gods can have, although Xiao Yuan can't control and use it now, but this divine power is extremely powerful, and almost nothing can withstand its erosion, so Xiao Yuan's body is equivalent to ten thousand poisons that are inviolable, and water and fire are indestructible.
And at this time, "whoosh!" Several consecutive sounds of breaking the air came, flashing from the alley not far away, quickly protecting Yan Xi and Xiao Yuan in the center.
"Subordinates damn it, let the princess be frightened!" These people are the people Yan Jiuyang arranged to protect Yan Xi in secret, seeing that someone was actually releasing cold arrows in secret, they showed their bodies one by one in a panic, and they were afraid that there would be cold arrows released, so they protected Yan Xi and Xiao Yuan in the middle.
"It's okay, these people secretly release cold arrows, which makes people unguardable, it's none of your business! It's just that General Xiao was injured!" Yan Xi's expression returned to his usual expression, but he didn't blame these guards.
"I'm fine, you hurry up and escort the princess back to the palace, if there is a slight mistake, even if the emperor lets you go, I won't let you go!" Xiao Yuan didn't care about the injury on his shoulder at all, and when he spoke, his figure had already jumped out, and by feeling, he chased after the person who secretly released the cold arrow.
Xiao Yuan's face was gloomy, his eyes were staring at the place where the arrow feathers were shot before, and he chased after them with his feelings, these people's arrow feathers shot straight at Yan Xi, and it was very likely that they were the remnants of the three major forces.
"General Xiao!" Seeing that Xiao Yuan was still going to chase the person who released the dark arrow, Yan Xi shouted in a panic, but as soon as the words came out, Xiao Yuan's figure had flashed continuously and disappeared at the end of the street.
"Princess, let's go back to the palace first, General Xiao can defeat a martial arts powerhouse like Ximen Liubai, and it will definitely be fine!" The leader of the guards who spoke, his back was completely wet with cold sweat at this moment, if Xiao Yuan hadn't pushed Yan Xi away before, then Yan Xi would probably have died
, then they are not good to protect the princess, at least demoted to an official position, assigned to the frontier, never hired, or ruined by the family!
At this moment, he was very grateful to Xiao Yuan in his heart, and his eyes were full of awe when he looked at Xiao Yuan, as long as he was not a fool, he could see that the bruises on the ground were highly poisonous, indicating that there was poison on the arrow, but Xiao Yuan, who was hit by the arrow, actually looked like he was nothing.
The arrow was only inserted into his flesh and skin less than an inch, and under such a powerful shooting force, even the flesh and blood could not be completely broken, I really don't know how strong Xiao Yuan's physique has become.
No wonder he was able to use the strength of the martial spirit to defeat Ximen Liubai, who had already reached the martial sect.
Although Yan Xi was worried about Xiao Yuan in his heart, he also knew that there was a lot of danger here and now, who knew if there were strong people or powerful archers in ambush around here, if he followed Xiao Yuan to go, he would not be able to help at all, but he might be held back, so it was better to return to the palace safely as soon as possible and send people to support.
As for these guards around him, they will definitely not follow Xiao Yuan, they will only obey their father's orders, and they will only protect their own safety.
Xiao Yuan chased all the way, although he didn't have any martial arts that could step into the air, and he didn't have a way to track it, but under the operation of the Guiyuan Divine Technique, his speed was incredibly fast.
And the powerful soul power is emanated, blessed in itself, making the body under the crazy running seem to be gliding, faster, and the divine sense scans the surroundings, perceiving the movement of a thousand feet.
The reason why he chased so decisively was because when the arrow feather hit his body, he had already locked the position of the person who shot the arrow with the breath on the arrow feather, in this case, how could he let this person escape?
This person's speed is extremely fast, Xiao Yuan chased after him so quickly, but he didn't catch up, but there was a residual breath of the other party along the way, and slowly, Xiao Yuan had chased out of the downtown and chased towards the remote suburbs.
Finally, Xiao Yuan stopped in an uninhabited alley.
"I can't imagine that Wu Zhuangyuan is so good!" A figure dressed in black stood in the alley, as if waiting for Xiao Yuan, thin and small, looking like he could be blown away by the wind, but it was not difficult to see in those eyes full of anger that this must be a ruthless and murderous master.
"Hmph, each other!" Xiao Yuan smiled coldly, and his killing intent was undisguised, no matter who the other party was, if he dared to touch his own woman, he would have to die.
"General Xiao, our fate is almost the same, we were all killed by the imperial court, so why be aggressive?" the black shadow smiled faintly, and did not mean to make a move.
"Hmph, who has the same fate as you? I only know that you almost killed my woman. Xiao Yuan sneered.
"Oh, Princess Yanxi is actually your woman? Wu Zhuangyuan's charm seems to be not small" Hearing Xiao Yuan say this, the figure frowned, but the laughter was even louder: "Have you forgotten how the imperial court destroyed the ethereal palace of the power you are in? And my Ruthless Sect, Tianling Sect! You and I should stand on the same front,
But I didn't expect you to climb the enemy's daughter, it's shameful and ridiculous!"
"Hmph, I don't want to have a war of words with you, since you are really the remnant of the three major forces, and you almost killed my woman, there is only one end, and that is death!" Xiao Yuan suddenly burst out with powerful spiritual power all over his body, and the blue and red sword was also held in his hand.
But seeing that Xiao Yuan was ready to make a move, the figure still didn't have any intention of making a move, but said sarcastically with a sneering look in his eyes: "General Xiao, do you really think that if you can defeat Ximen Liubai, you will be invincible in the world?"
