Chapter 20: Assassination
The assassins who fought with the cold shadow, snorted coldly, the Shadow Ten Guards, they had already investigated clearly, this operation was specially formulated for them, and the people who fought against them were all top-notch killers, so it was not easy to get rid of them!
At this point, Han Ying was already alert, and when he fought with the assassins, he knew that these were not ordinary killers.
They are simply ruthless, there are no extra tricks, and they are fatal to attack people.
The rules are strict, fighting from both sides, and I didn't hear a word from them, obviously because I didn't want to reveal more information in front of the enemy.
The opponents who are equal to them, the ten guards are also not simple, whether it is attacking or defending, they can't find flaws, they are extremely difficult, and they can't get much benefit from them.
However, they were not in a hurry, according to the original plan, they were responsible for solving the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and the main execution of the assassination of the emperor was someone else.
Compared with the killers who only exist to kill people, the ten guards, who are uneven, are inevitably a little difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, there were palace guards to protect the emperor, and with the support of the guards who kept pouring in, the emperor moved to a safe place.
The target of the assassins was only the emperor, and the assassins, who had not been dragged by the ten guards, rushed into the guards with three or five people, and killed anyone on sight with cruel means, including one assassin, who flew over the dense guards and rushed to the emperor with all his might.
And he was the one who stared at the emperor like a tiger before, and none of the people who fought with him survived, and now, after a few breaths, the sword with a cold light had been pointed at the emperor's neck.
The emperor fell backwards with an 'ah', and the guards who followed him blocked his attack, but the assassins who used their bodies as a foothold did not take them seriously at all, and the palace people were shocked and went to the rescue, and the palace people who approached were blocked by his sword and killed on the spot.
The assassin's unstoppable trend, the empty shadow flew and threw the hidden weapon, but the assassin kicked it away, and the assassin kicked it away, and the assassin kicked away with the empty shadow that was close to him, looking at the empty shadow that retreated again and again, his eyes were full of mockery.
"I can't help myself!"
The assassin was agile and steady, and the black sword landed on the emperor's neck impartially, touching the loose flesh······
On the line between life and death, a cold light slashed, hitting the back of the black sword, and the assassin pointed at the emperor's sword offset angle.
Blood drops appeared on the emperor's neck, but only the flesh was injured, and there was no fear of his life.
Then, the sword arrived, and a man in black stood in front of the emperor and engaged the assassin.
The emperor was so frightened that he was speechless, his heart pounding so wildly that he couldn't hear any sounds around him, and his eyes still lingered on the horror caused by his life hanging by a thread, and his eyes were fixed on the two men in black who were fighting together in front of him.
Both of them were dressed in black and masked, one wanted to kill him, the other saved him, and the person who saved him used a sword as cold as snow.
The danger is not far away!
Before the guards could escort the emperor out of the dangerous place, the assassin who was fighting with the man in black rotated the black sword in his hand, teleported, dodged the attack of the man in black, and stabbed the emperor again with a backhand sword, the blade of which was almost a stone's throw away from his head.
Everyone was distraught and moved with the black sword, holding their breath silently, staring at the silver light that was picked at the assassin's blade from the side, and the sword that followed shook open and slashed at the emperor.
The emperor escaped death, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, they would not know that the Assassins would always hide an unknown murderous move.
The black sword that slashed at the Emperor was blocked, and almost at the same time, the Assassin unexpectedly drew the short sword tied to his calf, leaned to the left, and swept the Emperor's throat with the short sword in his left hand.
The killing move was fast and ruthless, the momentum was extremely brave with a strong wind, Yu Ziling couldn't put away his sword to block the short sword, and could only kick the emperor away, and the emperor flew out upside down in countless gasps.
Taking advantage of the momentary emptiness, Yu Ziling pulled out the short sword on his back with his other hand, which could collide with the short sword of the assassin······
The assassin who was blocked again, his pupils constricted and looked at the man in black, with unknown emotions in his eyes, a moment of hesitation, and he shouted: "Withdraw!" ”
Before anyone else could react, the Assassin had already jumped onto the eaves and disappeared into the night.
The other Assassins were ordered to break their entanglement with their opponents and climb over the nearby palace walls and scatter in all directions.
The Assassins did not gain the upper hand, but quickly withdrew, and their sudden action was just as surprising as the sudden attack that preceded it.
The guards who rushed to the rescue after hearing the news did not stabilize their minds, and chased after them from all directions.
Yu Ziling looked up in the direction where the assassin had disappeared, lowered his eyes to the short sword in his hand, and fell into deep thought.
The guards surrounded the man in black, and they all saw it, it was he who kicked the emperor away, causing the emperor to fall into a coma, such a rebellious person, he should not be able to let him go...... Right?
Putting away the short sword, Yu Ziling glanced at them indifferently, not caring about their encirclement, and walked in one of the directions.
The guards who touched the cold black eyes couldn't help but retreat, they didn't forget that it was this person who blocked the assassin's successive killing moves and saved the emperor from danger.
This person's identity is unknown, and without the emperor's order, he really can't be let go!
Han Ying rushed over with the other shadow guards, and when he saw Ziling surrounded by guards, he immediately became angry.
A group of wine bags and rice bags, what is the use of them, they revolve around the emperor at a critical moment but can't protect his safety, and afterwards they play prestige in front of their life-saving benefactor!
"Don't you retreat from the things that don't have long eyes, and look for death?"
The ten guards around the emperor, when they saw them coming, the guards did not hesitate and gave way one after another.
Hanying approached him, looking up and down, the others looking at him with equal concern.
They all saw the situation just now, the assassin and Ziling were tied, although they saved the emperor from him, but every rescue was extremely dangerous!
With Ziling's martial arts, few people could match him, however, the assassin was not inferior to him by half a point, and when they saw this scene, they were shocked and speechless!
Seeing their worried eyes, Yu Ziling said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." Empty Shadow, are you hurt? ”
The empty shadow is good at fetching things in the air, not good at fighting and killing, there is no way, in the face of these deadly assassins, injuries are inevitable.
The empty shadow smiled indifferently: "I suffered a little injury, it's fine." ”
Today is the emperor's birthday, and it almost became his sacrifice day.
These assassins, all of them are not weak, who are they? Why kill the emperor?
"Who are these assassins? Why did they kill the emperor? Strange? ”
Yu Ziling remembered the fleeting shock of the assassins when they saw the short sword, their killing methods, and the answer was about to come out.
"The emperor is in the deep palace, it is impossible to offend the people of the rivers and lakes, but today he provoked these killers. There is no morality on the rivers and lakes, and there are only a few organizations that kill people for profit, and they should be one of them. ”
insinuating, without saying it directly, they read the answer in his eyes.
In the name of a killer, there is only one place for the organization that shocks the rivers and lakes - the Valley of Ruthlessness!
If tonight's assassins were really from the Valley of Ruthless, then they wouldn't need to look any further!
Ruthless Valley is mysterious in the world, and every task is that they take the initiative to find their employers, not employers to find them, and there is no truth, no way to start, nowhere to check!
Moreover, the killer is hired by others, and the mastermind behind the murder is the object of the investigation.
None of this has anything to do with the Shadows.
The topic of killers came to an abrupt end.
