Chapter 23: The Assassins

Legend has it that the wind-chasing arrows are mostly used for assassination, and when the bowstring sound sounds, the arrows are already in reach, and even Wuqu Xingjun may not even have time to summon the star hammer, let alone armor!

Wu Xing didn't have time to think about it, and swung his fist behind him, a four-star chain! He would rather exhaust his strength than destroy this fatal blow hidden in the dark. And the four-star chain is also the limit of the number of stars that can be lit up at this moment, and it is too late to light up one more star in time!

Just like Wu Xing's sneak attack on that "crooked-headed" barbarian before, he wanted to launch a fatal blow at the time when the other party was most relaxed!

This wind-chasing arrow has clearly grasped this essence, and even done better.

When the eighth star was lit up, Wu Xing's realm of Stacking Wave Fist had been significantly improved, no longer pursuing pure destructive power, but more delicate use and change, but when Wu Xing's right fist swept back, it only swept a void!

The sound of arrows crashing into the flesh!

The wind-chasing arrow even brought Wu Xing's body forward two steps, and fell into the snow with his back in the sky, a bright red bloodstain told the huge lethality brought by this wind-chasing arrow!

The shaft of the feather arrow was broken by the tumbling action of the fall, and half of the arrow and arrow feathers were left in the snow, leaving only a bloodstained arrow that slanted out from Wu Xing's left chest. From the point of view of that arrow, it should have pierced the heart directly!

Crunch!

The sound of snow treading came from behind.

Wu Xing's eyes looked at the starry sky blankly, his breathing had become intermittent, and the snow on the outside of his left chest had even shown signs of melting, which was that the hot blood had seeped down.

A masked man with a grim look walked briskly, and casually removed the boning knife from his waist as he passed by the "crooked" barbarian, which was the knife used by the barbarians to debone when they ate barbecue.

The masked man squatted next to Wu Xing's corpse, gestured at Wu Xing's body with a boning knife, and then threw it aside, muttering: "Forget it, if there is one more knife wound, it will inevitably add to the problem, but it will be easy for people to see the flaws." ”

The masked man then searched the bodies of the two barbarian scouts, and took out a piece of silk cloth from the arms of one of the barbarians and put it in his arms.

"If it weren't for the need for two scapegoats, I would have been able to complete this mission alone. The masked man muttered as he moved the bodies of the two barbarians together.

"You attacked him with this big rock and killed him....... I'll shoot you from behind with an arrow later....... When you fall, your head hits the big rock and your neck is crooked....... The reason why you two started killing people is to make money......"

The masked man was concentrating on arranging a scene in which the two barbarians would divide the spoils unevenly and die together, when he suddenly heard the sound of a drowning man inhaling greedily after being rescued from the shore.

The masked man's bow and arrows had already been put into the bow bag and hung on the saddle of the Northland horse, and the bow and arrow needed to be used with caution especially in rainy and snowy weather, and the only boning knife he ever had was left by him next to Wu Xing's corpse. The masked man now can be said to be unarmed.

The masked man's eyes flickered, and he was about to speak, and he was about to slow down the army, when he suddenly felt that his back seemed to be smashed by a hundred-pound sledgehammer, and the whole person pounced forward like a dog gnawing mud, and then saw that the boning knife on his waist had no handle.

Wu Xing was in the rabbit falcon fight just now, including the punch that dealt with the wind chasing arrow, it was mainly a four-star series of stacked wave punches, and it only consumed nearly half of the star power before and after, as for the knife in front of him, the distance within reach, such a big target, but it was impossible to deviate.

Wu Xing struggled to get up, walked to the masked man's side, held the handle of the boning knife and twisted it twice, making sure that the other party was too dead to die anymore, then he gasped for breath, gritted his teeth and said: "This position is the spleen, and it will bleed heavily after being stabbed, so it is basically hopeless...... Especially with two twists like this....... This is the part that recruits prefer to choose when mending knives on the battlefield....... No wonder Uncle Zheng asked me to practice holding my breath in the water tank since I was a child, and said that it was the key to pretending to be dead to lure the enemy, and I could hold my breath for more than half an hour to calculate the ....... of the teacher."

Wu Xing muttered to himself, ripped off the face towel, probed the masked man's snort, and touched the side of his neck, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and lie there retching for a while. The first killing, that is, three, especially the last mending knife, has already caused a strong discomfort in a teenager who has only slaughtered chickens, ducks and fish.

However, now is not the time to relax, and Wu Xing doesn't know if these three people have another accomplice.

After finding a vial of golden medicine and two rolls of clean linen from the marching bag of one of the Northland horses, Wu Xing used his saber to pick open the clothes of his left arm.

At this time, the mystery of Wu Xing's "killing" by an arrow was naturally solved.

The wind-chasing arrow was actually broken into three pieces, the middle one was pinched off by Wu Xing's fingers when he rolled, and the arrow was inserted into the mouth of the tiger's head on the back of the bronze medal of the "West Wind Star Palace", pierced out of the clothes, thus disguised as an illusion that penetrated the heart. All of this just happened between lightning and fire, and the idea of pretending to be dead can be said to be a stroke of inspiration, if Wu Xing is asked to do it again, it may not be able to do it to such a realistic level.

The penetrating wound on the outside of Wu Xing's left arm was the real arrow wound and the source of the bloodstains.

"I didn't actually want to miss the Wind Chasing Arrow with that punch, the target of the Wind Chasing Arrow behind me was too small...... That punch just used myself as a giant stone monument, and I tried to change the center of gravity of my body by the 'reverse force' of the air punch in the snow, which narrowly avoided the heart point. Wu Xing muttered to himself, using his teeth to bandage the wound, and then found a few things from the arms of the assassin who came out of nowhere.

A copper token of "Lintao County Inspection", a star stone with a bean gold point, and a piece of silk cloth.

"Jiupin Martial General....... Jiupin Wuqu Xingjun....... And my charcoal head is like a silk painting........ "Wu Xing wrapped up the three things and put them away, squatted down and looked at the assassin's face carefully, and muttered: "This person has appeared at the post station before, but he is just dressed as an ordinary servant. ”

"Your plot was well arranged just now, and I basically don't need to make any major adjustments....... Since you are pretending to be a servant of the Nine Rank Martial Stars, you must be unsightly, then let your identity continue to remain mysterious! As for the cause of your death, it is natural that you also died of murder for money. Wu Xing took off one of his money bags full of broken silver and threw it in the snow, then hesitated for a moment, but still took off the clothes of one of the barbarians who were similar to his own size, changed them into himself, and then put on the white felt hat, covered with a face towel to protect against the wind and snow, and lived like a barbarian! As for the leather boots, there is no need to change them, the leather boots popular in the northern region are all the same.

"I heard that the star bow among the Martial Qu Star Monarch is a melee five scum, not to mention that it is just a nine-rank martial star......? However, this Wuqu Xingjun is most likely just a novice, and it is okay to put cold arrows, but it is still not possible when there are real swords and real guns...... If that boning knife had stuck in me instead of in the snow, hehe! The dead person might have been me!" Wu Xing muttered, climbed to the top of the boulder and collected the hemp rope, then turned over and got on the Northland horse, and rode towards the direction of Dubao Village: "I hope it's still in time, at least to see what happens." ”
