Chapter 3: Red Flame King
One hundred and eight steps later, Shen Ye walked out of the palace gate, and after another one thousand and eighty steps, he turned into an alley.
The alleys are deep and dark, and if someone wants to intercept them, it is the easiest place to do it.
He had killed eleven people just now, but he hadn't killed them all.
This game is not over yet.
From the moment he stepped out of the palace gate, he was keenly aware that there was a beam of eyes staring at him, like a man's back, and the other party was aiming at his cervical vertebrae, begging for a one-hit kill.
He thought about it between his steps, kept his normal pace, and walked into the deep darkness without hurrying or slowing.
"My backbone is forged with divine magic, even the fine iron sword and the meteoric iron knife can be easily slashed, Your Excellency, I think too much." Shen Ye turned around in a hurry, and the horizontal knife was inserted into the bluestone slab, shaking up a layer of fine fly ash and scattering it in all directions.
"Is this the Silver Priest who rules over the six branches?"
"Sure enough, it lives up to its name."
Another person appeared in the darkness, he and Shen Ye stood face to face, neither of them could see each other's faces clearly, "Pull out your knife." β
At the same time as the sound, the thunder illuminated the faces of the two, Shen Ye's hair was like snow, and the person opposite was wearing a high crown, and the brown-red bun was not something ordinary people could have.
The person who came was the most famous wanted criminal of the dynasty - Red Flame Jun Dye Lie, who specialized in murder.
This man is easy to kill, there is nowhere to go, as long as he can afford it, anyone can invite him, but he not only asks for money, but also likes to order other things, such as the hand of the wife, the head of the parent and the child.
Now he can be worthy of the word 'king' because he never asks for anything other than money and silver from the righteous who wants to be the king, which can be regarded as a benevolent help.
"Shen was killed by the Red Flame King, which is really a great luck." Shen Ye held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, "It is clear that he is a murderer who uses people's money to eliminate disasters for others, and he is given the word 'Jun' by the world, do you think you are really a gentleman?" β
"I draw a sword, and you will die for life."
"Humph!"
"Shen Ye, let's go!"
Shen Ye pulled out the knife, squeezed out a loud cry in his throat, his shoulders were slightly sideways, he avoided the knife of Dye Lie, and then turned around, jumped up, and slashed with a knife!
The sound of metal crashing filled the alleyways, each blow as heavy and powerful as splitting the mountains and the sea. After seventy-five clanging sounds, Dye Lie slashed through the air with a knife and slashed at the tree surrounded by a person on the side of the road.
The trees snapped and fell into the darkness, kicking up countless smoke and dust.
A fire lit up in the distance, "Quick! Angelica Alley is different! β
Dye Lie picked off a leaf flying from behind, drew his knife and left, Shen Ye threw it suddenly, and chased after him with a horizontal knife.
This time, Dye Lie couldn't dodge, and Shen Ye's horizontal knife flew past his right arm, cutting through his sleeve and blood flying down.
"My lord! It's late! β
The sect members in charge of the city defense were dressed in silver robes, and when they heard the sound, one knelt down at Shen Ye's feet, and walked through a scene that could not be rude, while the other ten followed the blood stained and followed.
The person kneeling on the ground took out Yinxiu's handkerchief from his arms, cautiously raised Shen Ye's bleeding left hand, and pressed the handkerchief on the back of his hand.
The person in charge of stopping the bleeding broke out in a cold sweat, but the bleeding person didn't care about his injuries, "Call people back, you can't catch up, and if you catch up, you will also be sent to death." β
"Yes."
The whistle blew, but only three of the ten people who chased it out came back.
Shen Ye didn't look at them, took away the handkerchief and withdrew his hand, and instructed the kneeling man, "Lin San, you take over the position of guard." β
"Yes." The response that only showed surrender made Shen Ye feel bored, and at this time, the light from the torch had burned half of the sky, and the news that Red Flame Jun dared to assassinate the silver priest spread far and wide, and the city defense was about to be strict.
"The position of the guard is the top priority, so casual, be careful and be sold."
The person who appeared at the mouth of the alley opened his mouth unscrupulously, and only he dared to talk to Shen Ye, the notorious silver priest, like this.
"Hengsu, how do you know that I didn't mean to?" Shen Ye hooked the corners of his mouth and tapped his temples, "Now, I already know the strength of Chiyan Jun, and I also injured his right arm, breaking the myth that he will be killed with one blow, which is the merit of An Min." β
Li Hengsu pointed his chin with his index finger and smiled, the emerald gemstone ring glowed with a terrifying glow in the moonlight, "Lord Shen is really smart, but he is too aggressive." β
Shen Ye glanced at Li Hengsu, and Lin San handed the saber pinned to his waist to his left hand.
The horizontal knife was like a rainbow, shooting directly into Li Hengsu's chestββ
Li Hengsu suddenly lowered his body, squatted on the ground, held down his fast-beating heart, and begged Shen Ye for mercy with a smile, "Okay, okay, I said it wrong, Lord Shen is like a god, the back of his hand is replaced by his arm, how can it be a valuable word?" β
The fierce light between Shen Ye's eyebrows flashed when he threw the sword, and at this time, he couldn't see the slightest abnormality.
Neither is this one...... It should have been good at the beginning, Shen Ye sighed, where are the other five people?
"Why is Lord Shen sighing?" Li Heng looked at Shen Ye and suppressed his anger, so he stepped forward and handed over a copper-green openwork incense burner, "The Pope's will, will you take it when you go back to your house?" β
"Hmm." Shen Ye took the incense burner, his eyes sank, and he sent Li Hengsu away with a half-smile, "You and I are both silver priests, I am dressed in gorgeous clothes and high crowns, but you are only wearing straw sandals and cloth clothes, which makes it difficult for me to do." β
Li Hengsu specializes in intelligence, whether it is the cultivation of divine arts or external skills, he is much inferior to Shen Ye, and he is the weakest one among the current six silver priests.
"Alas, I'm just a little smarter, and I'm not good at it, so I'm not low-key, and I'll be targeted by people when the time comes...... I can't keep all the corpses of Shang Chiyanjun, and I ask Lord Shen to take care of them. β
"Heh~" Shen Ye wouldn't believe it, he held the incense burner and beckoned to Li Hengsu with one hand, "You are stingy, you want me to settle the bill - the location of Qiluofang has already been reserved, you go first, I will deal with the matter here, and I will go to look for you."
"Cheng~" After speaking, Li Hengsu tore off the money bag on his waist and threw it back, in the firelight, naturally other people caught it and collected it for him, "Lord Shen is bold~!" β
β¦β¦
Shen Ye is in a high position, and the position of the silver priest is already very close to the power center of the Hengtang Dynasty, and his mansion is naturally magnificent, and there are six stone lions plated with copper and gold on the stone steps in front of the door.
The inner room is even more luxurious, with gilded furniture everywhere, gold and silver intersecting, showing the dignity of the owner everywhere.
The copper-green incense burner was still burning, Shen Ye entered the study, sent all the subordinates, took out three incense sticks from the side, shook his backhand, and the sparks were scorching.
In the midst of the smoke, Shen Ye closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in his study, but in a huge hall.
The main hall is interlocking, intersecting layer by layer, a total of eight layers, up and down, left and right, each has seventy-two doors, everywhere is the same, like a huge labyrinth.
The hall was filled with smoke, and even with Shen Ye's almost foul eyesight, he could only see ten meters in front of him.
It's either a trick or a ...... It's really something, Shen Ye thought so, clasped his hands, put them on his chest, bowed and said, "Silver Priest Shen Ye, please teach the purpose." β
