Seeing this posture, the sporadic passers-by panicked, and many of them were so frightened that they lost their umbrellas, and fled in all directions one by one, and soon disappeared into the rain, and the whole street was so deserted that only the sound of the rain hitting the ground remained.

Ling Xiao's expression froze, and the knuckles holding the handle of the umbrella were slightly white. Looking through the rain curtain, all I saw were sharp weapons that were cold in the skylight, but they were slightly different from what I saw that night, and it was difficult to determine whether these people were under the command of Kong Bozhi.

Even Lu Jingxing didn't expect these people to be so bold. In the blue sky and white day, he assassinated in Huizhou City, and the time was still chosen at the time of the Dragon Boat Festival sacrifice ceremony, which is no different from openly confronting the imperial court. However, it is not difficult to see that this was premeditated, and the officers and soldiers in the city were dispatched to the city early this morning to protect the safety of the city and monitor the movement of the altar in case of sudden accidents in the middle of the sacrifice. These killers had been observing the two of them for more than a long time, hiding on the roofs on both sides and following them all the way, and the movements were all hidden in the sound of the rain, so it was not easy to detect. The "Qi Ming Building" is located in the east of the city, and even if there is a big mess at this time, the officers and soldiers cannot arrive in time, and this is the best time to start. Because there was no chance of winning, they didn't dare to go directly to the Lu Mansion, so they used this method.

Countless raindrops joined together, merging into a rugged stream of water on the foreheads of those green tendons, and flowed down the river. Their eyes were confused in the water curtain, but their anger swelled all around them. With the leader's order, countless pairs of feet jumped up and attacked Lu Jingxing.

"Wow!" The sharp sword in Ling Xiao's hand was unsheathed, half of his body was turned, the cold light flashed, the tip of the sword passed, and the three people in front of him fell to the ground in response, forcing those who were advancing to have to retract their footsteps. The water trails were mixed with the blood between their necks, and the bright red spread under their bodies, and their limbs twitched several times, and they quickly lost consciousness.

The footsteps that had just retreated but attacked Ling Xiao again in the blink of an eye, she didn't care about the three people who died under her sword, a scimitar behind her had swung towards her, and under the front and back strikes, she stood on tiptoe, swept her legs forward, and the sword blocked behind her, "bang", she only felt that her arm was numb, and the knife was successfully avoided, but she was cut off a strand of her semi-wet hair, and fell into the water.

Forced to take a few steps back in front of her, the knife in the back slashed at her again, the plain oil-paper umbrella was thrown up from her hand, her body flipped back, and the sharp sword stabbed horizontally, piercing the heart of the person with the knife.

"Bang dang!" The scimitar fell, Ling Xiao landed steadily, and the oil-paper umbrella swirled in the air and fell into her hand.

"Xiao Xiao, is there something wrong?!" Lu Jingxing was also too busy to take care of himself, just now everyone rushed up, completely isolating the two, he saw that the knife slashed at Ling Xiao's back, and his heart was difficult to calm for a long time, and he didn't forget to ask after resisting. However, at this moment, a sword slashed diagonally, the rain splashed, and the blade slashed through Lu Jingxing's sleeve, a blood stain suddenly appeared, and a hot pain quickly came out of his arm. Lu Jingxing frowned, his body churned, and he struck out with a few kicks, and seven or eight people fell to the ground.

Raindrops flowed on Ling Xiao's bloodstained sword, the sword crossed the bodies of the two, and glanced at the person who fell to the ground, Ling Xiao turned his head to look at Lu Jingxing, who was slicing with sword flowers in his hand, and said nervously: "Jingxing, your injuries ...... Leave me alone. ”

The enemy followed one after another, not giving the two of them a chance to breathe at all, at this time, Lu Jingxing could only listen to Ling Xiao, and no longer dared to be distracted. Distraction will only give the enemy a chance, so it will be even more disadvantageous to the two of them, this is not a good way to protect Ling Xiao, now he can only fight quickly and devote himself to the battle, he also believes that Ling Xiao can cope with it.

Ling Xiao's "Cold Heart Sutra" was not used, and once that set of exercises appeared, it would inevitably cause another turbulent situation, which would also make her the target of public criticism, threatening her own safety. Therefore, she will not use it unless she has to. Although these people are difficult to deal with now, they are not to that point.

But in a moment, the ground has fallen horizontally, as a dead soldier, until death, the rest of the people are determined to fight to the end, without flinching. After all, it was a little difficult to defeat the crowd, although Ling Xiao was not injured in flesh, but the placket of his clothes had been damaged in many places. The sharp sword in front of her approached her again, and in an instant, the rotating oil-paper umbrella was blocked in front of her, and she took the initiative to attack, and the fast-rotating umbrella surface broke with the sound, and the paper flowers stained with water were sprinkled, and the umbrella bone saw that there was already a sword that took off her hand.

The man's eyes were already hazy, and he was robbed of his weapon by Ling Xiao, and he was timid. Ling Xiao had a chance to take advantage of it, and he raised his leg with a kick, which hit the enemy's jaw. In the spray of saliva, his body shook in the rain and fell to the ground.

The two sides fought hotly, but the people watching the battle in the building not far away were leisurely.

"Brother Ke, it seems that you still underestimate the strength of this Lu Jingxing." The man turned around and smiled faintly at Ke Tianxu, blindly long.

Ke Tianxu was still dressed in tight-fitting black, his straight hair was half draped over his shoulders, and his forehead was smooth and white. He didn't care about what the man said, he drank the blue tea in his hand unhurriedly, and paced to the window: "I don't think I underestimated him, but the woman." Does the white deputy owner know the details of the woman? I had never heard of such a powerful person in the Lu Mansion before. In this way, the task assigned by the cliff master is afraid that it will be more difficult to complete. ”

"I've met this woman in Junjian Pavilion, but as for the details, I really don't know." The deputy owner of Bai in Ke Tianxu's mouth is Bai Yuting, the deputy owner of White Twilight Villa.

Ke Tianxu got such an answer, and looked at Ling Xiao's eyes a little deeper: "It seems that I still need to go out in person." This Lu Jingxing can't let go, I'm afraid that it will leave a disaster in the future. ”

"Brother Ke said this a long time ago, and my White Twilight Villa would not have suffered such heavy casualties." Seeing that the people lying on the ground were all people in his village, Bai Yuting inevitably felt a little regretful. Although those who achieve great things must pay a price, he is not a completely cold-blooded person. Besides, the battle with the Absolute Dust Palace not long ago had caused the vitality of the White Dusk Villa to be greatly damaged, and today he suffered heavy casualties, how could he not be worried.

Three bells rang in the distance, echoing in the gray sky covered with falling rain. Ke Tianxu sighed lightly: "It's late today, it seems that we need to find another time." "The bell represents the end of the sacrifice, and it is inappropriate to act rashly to attract officers and soldiers, Ke Tianxu knows that more is better than less.

In the rain curtain, the clothes of the two were soaked, smeared in the blood mist, like a strange mountain and river map painted by cinnabar. This fierce battle finally came to an end, and Lu Jingxing glanced at the bright red ground, shocking. He stepped over the corpses, and before he could put away his sword, he walked in the direction where Ling Xiao was. At this time, Ling Xiao was also somewhat injured, and she couldn't kneel down with a sword, and just hit her waist with a sword.

"Xiao Xiao, how's it going?" Lu Jingxing helped Ling Xiao up, looking anxious and worried.

Ling Xiao endured the pain from the wound in his waist, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that I have a slight injury in my waist." ”

"That's it, and it's okay. It's me who is not good, and I shouldn't have brought you out today. Lu Jingxing looked at the bleeding wound on his waist, and his heart was instantly occupied by self-blame.

The water stains were all over Ling Xiao's slightly pale face, and his blurred vision stopped in Lu Jingxing's eyes full of guilt, smiled at him lightly, shook his head, and said, "How can I blame you, even if it wasn't today, they would have made a move on us sooner or later." However, this "Cold Sword" really lives up to its reputation, and today it is thanks to it. ”

"These men don't seem to be the ones who assassinated us that night, you can see the weapons they used, and the moves they just used." Lu Jingxing's expression was solemn.

Ling Xiao looked to the ground when she heard this, and only then did she notice that all the swords scattered in the rain were not the weapons of different shapes she had seen that night, and some of them she couldn't even name. A conjecture arose in her heart, and when she looked up again, she had changed her look of surprise: "You mean, there is still a force?" ”

Lu Jingxing nodded slightly: "It's not impossible, it's just a guess now." ”

They might not have thought that this was just a trick Ke Tianxu used to confuse them, deliberately not sending his own men, but using the people of the White Twilight Villa. This is not to kill people with a sword, but to create an illusion that will cause these sects to panic even more, so that they can mess with themselves, and it will be much easier to subdue them.

Lu Jingxing wiped the sword in his hand casually with the placket of his clothes, and put it away: "I'll take you back." ”

"I'll go by myself, the injury on your arm ......" Before Ling Xiao could react, his body had already risen into the air and fell steadily into Lu Jingxing's arms. The thin clothes of the two were soaked, and Ling Xiao was wrapped by the faint body temperature in Lu Jingxing's arms, and he felt that a restless deer was contained in his heart.

"Minor injuries." Lu Jingxing's voice was gentle, and he raised his hand to bury Ling Xiao's face into his arms, so as to block the raindrops that wanted to drip on her face.

The back immersed in the rain curtain gradually faded away, and two tattered oil-paper umbrellas lay quietly in the bright red rain, accompanied by corpses. The sacrifice had passed, and the number of pedestrians on the street had increased, and the shocking scene in that place could only be left to the officers and soldiers in the city.

The festival sacrifice is not only prevalent in the Central Plains, the other three countries also attach great importance to it, and it can even be said that the sacrificial activities of the Nanzhuan country are more grand and grand, which is also related to the importance of witchcraft in the Nanzhuan country, and the sorcerers who sacrifice in various places are presided over by the highly accomplished disciples in the Baihong Valley.

After watching the grand ceremony, Jiang Tingxue walked alone on the crowded streets, looking at such a lively scene, but she felt more and more lonely in her heart, Xu was used to the days accompanied by Ling Xiao, Lu Ci and others, and suddenly returned to the previous step-by-step life made her very uncomfortable.

Walking and stopping, her footsteps stopped in front of a stall, looked at the dazzling array of delicate sachets on the shelves, picked up the one that she valued at a glance, and asked the middle-aged woman behind the stall, "How can this be sold?" ”

"Three knife coins." The woman smiled and gestured with her hand.

Jiang Tingxue lowered her head sideways and took off the money bag at her waist, but at the moment when she raised her head, the corner of her eye glanced from the crowd, but she saw the figure she hated so much. What has not been avenged for Ling Xiao's wrist cutting at the beginning, it is that the figure almost killed Ling Xiao.

Lu Jingxing sent someone to look for him for a long time, without any trace, and now because of Kong Bozhi, he put this matter aside, he never thought that this wooden hand would dare to appear openly in this Qiantang City, how could Jiang Tingxue let him go.
