Chapter 54: The Sword Unsheathed, Against the Odds (I)

One night.

The cold moon is sprinkled, and the cold wind of winter is blowing, and there is a murderous atmosphere.

Murder in the dead of night......

A pitch-black figure moved in the night, like a fleeting shadow, shuttling through the martial courtyard.

This figure is Duan Chen, at this time he covered his face with a black cloth, only revealing a pair of cold eyes with amazing sharpness, with his self-created sword shadow footwork method, perfectly avoiding all the people of the Martial Academy, blending into the night.

After a while, he came to a slightly ornate building in the Martial Academy.

"Elder Xia, you are the first. ”

Duan Chen muttered softly, a killing intent appeared in his eyes, and he directly slashed out with a sword, the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and a gate burst open with a bang.

As soon as his body moved, Duan Chen walked in directly.

"Who!"

Such a movement immediately alarmed Elder Xia, who was about to go to bed, and walked out quickly in loose pajamas, his face was full of coldness.

When Elder Xia saw Duan Chen, who was dressed in black, he was very surprised.

This is a martial arts academy, and someone dares to rush to the door like this?

And just a small assassin who is no more than a fourfold refining body?

"Who are you, and how did you enter the Martial Academy?" Elder Xia didn't take Duan Chen in his eyes at all, even though he vaguely felt that the trace of sword intent revealed by Duan Chen was very terrifying, but the cultivation was here, and with his sevenfold cultivation of the body, it was enough to crush this bold uninvited guest.

"The one who killed you!"

Duan Chen didn't say much, he swung out a sword, his movements seemed to be gentle and slow, but the sudden appearance of the edge was terrifying.

Airplanes!

The incomparable sword intent, the fierce killing intent, this fine iron long sword was faintly unbearable, and it made a humming sound.

A fluttering sword qi swept through the air, and nothing could stop it, it pierced straight through, passing directly through the other side of the building, and entering the night.

A skull dripping with hot blood fell, and the skull's face still maintained an extremely frightened expression.

"Ahh......h Murder!" There are still Elder Xia's relatives in the building, and his wife and children are even seven or eight years old.

At this moment, when he saw his husband die, he suddenly burst into a terrified scream.

Duan Chen glanced at it lightly, ignored it and turned away directly.

......

The next day, the martial arts institute was in a sensation.

It was even more sensational than Duan Chen's defeat of Zhang Yansheng.

Because, an elder died in the Martial Academy, and he died in the Martial Academy.

Duan Chen's expression was as usual, and he still got up early to exercise.

But many people have been heard talking about it.

"Have you heard, Elder Xia is dead, the elder of the Mission Hall who specializes in handling the tasks of the Martial Academy, was killed by a peerless swordsman last night. ”

"It's terrible, and it's still dying in the martial arts. Tell me, what can I do, I thought that the Martial Academy was the safest place in the Tianqin Empire, and it was actually ...... Alas!"

"I guess I have a grudge against Elder Xia, but this is too crazy, I actually dare to kill people in the Martial Academy. It is said that the sword intent of this peerless swordsman is very powerful, and Elder Xia is not an enemy. ”

After a day of fermentation, the people in the martial arts academy were talking about it.

It made some people panic, after all, this kind of powerful character, entering the martial arts courtyard is like entering the back garden, killing Elder Xia is like killing a chicken.

Naturally, it makes people feel like they are hanging from their heads with a sharp sword.

Outside Elder Xia's building, on a stone that had been cut in half, the cut surface was smooth, and there was still a faint trace of sword intent left.

However, even this trace of sword intent made people feel their eyes stinging and their scalps tingling.

"Gu Yu, what do you think?"

Meng Bei looked at the stone with a solemn look and asked in a low tone.

Feeling the sword intent that was about to dissipate on this stone, Gu Yu's heart was awe-inspiring, "This is already the realm of the true intent of the sword, the innate realm. ”

Hearing this, Meng Bei and Ren Ping were both shocked, "The innate powerhouse came to assassinate Elder Xia? ”

"It's just a realm, not necessarily this person is an innate powerhouse. At least in the Yunxi Sect, among the inner disciples, there are not no geniuses who have already realized the complete true meaning before they become innate. Gu Yu said lightly.

The three of them couldn't see much, and they left after a while.

Soon, Leng Wuji also came, glanced at the stone, and there was a hint of battle intent in his eyes, "Very strong, extremely strong, it won't be an innate martial artist, that is a peerless genius." Which sect is it a disciple? I hope to have a chance to see it. ”

The day passed in a heated discussion.

At night, the black figure belonging to Duan Chen flashed out.

Elder Xia was only the first, and that time to defend the city, Elder Xia assigned him to be with Zhang Yansheng.

Zhu Wang had already set up a line between the Tianqin Empire and the Martial Academy that he could manipulate.

Elder Xia wanted to be canonized and establish a big family, so he naturally took refuge in the crown prince.

"Then, Elder Ding, you are the second. ”

Elder Ding does not have much real power in the Martial Academy, but he has the detailed information and movements of the disciples of the Martial Academy.

Elder Ding was born in a family, and his family was in Pengcheng, and he took refuge in Zhu Wang mainly because Zhu Wang threatened his family.

The night was dark and the wind was high, and a white sword light flashed in the night sky, and the sharp qi lingered in the air for a long time.

Tonight, another Elder Wu died.

By the time the other martial arts elders heard the news, Duan Chen had long since disappeared.

No matter how Elder Wu investigated, it was impossible to find anything, let alone find Duan Chen.

The next day, the deaths of two elders in quick succession caused an even more dramatic sensation.

Throughout the day, the disciples of the Martial Academy felt a strong sense of trepidation.

Another night, Elder Chen, who lived in the old mansion in Jingnan City, was also beheaded with a sword.

When Elder Chen was also killed, the Martial Academy had already had to inform the Yunxi Sect of this matter and let the Yunxi Sect send someone to investigate.

The three elders, Xia, Ding, and Chen, died in three consecutive days.

The fear of the crowd has increased day by day, and it has reached a point of heart-wrenching madness.

Although the disciples of the Martial Academy were also afraid, they were even more afraid of the Martial Elders elders.

They were afraid that they would be next, and even the swordsman's motive for killing had not yet been discovered.

In the martial arts academy, the only one who had any guess about the death of the three elders of Xia Ding Chen was Zhang Yansheng.

How could Zhang Yansheng not doubt it? He told Duan Chen on the front foot that the three people on the back foot died one after another.

Even Zhang Yansheng has been in an extremely frightened and uneasy mood for the past few days, he is also afraid, he is afraid that Duan Chen will kill him.

He didn't think it was the three elders that Duan Chen had killed, but it was very likely that Duan Chen could instruct this swordsman killer.

Zhang Yansheng never thought of exposing Duan Chen at all, not to mention that he didn't have the slightest evidence, even if he did, he was afraid that he would be the first to die.

In fact, Duan Chen has really treated Zhang Yansheng as transparent now, and he has long stopped reassuring Zhang Yansheng.

When the Yunxi Sect sent people to the Martial Academy, Duan Chen had already casually taken a task and left Jingnan City.

Now, his goal is only the capital......
