Chapter 287: Assassin
Within the territory of Datang, there are 36 counties and 7 states. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
With the river as the boundary, it can be divided into two boundaries, Jiangnan has four prefectures and 21 counties, it is the land of fish and rice, the precipitation is abundant, the people's livelihood is rich, there are many merchants, the urban and rural areas are rich, there are many waterways, the transportation is convenient, and the traffic is convenient; There are three prefectures and 15 counties in Jiangbei, with many mountains and rivers and dangerous places, beautiful scenery, distant view of high mountains, clouds and mist, hidden families, high and deep sects, rugged mountain roads, and smooth official roads.
Luzhou is located between the Yangtze River and the Huai River, on the shore of Chaohu Lake, hugging the river and hugging the lake, known as the city of "the head of the south of the Yangtze River and the throat of the Central Plains".
Because Luzhou is located in the head of the south of the Yangtze River, the terrain is in line with the Jiangbei region, and the road to the north for 20 miles out of the northern urban area can be seen on the continuous mountains, the mountain roads are rugged, the terrain is steep, and the official roads are difficult to open up, making this group of lofty mountains and mountains become an inaccessible forbidden place for ordinary residents.
Not to mention whether there are wild beasts eating people in this mountain, just the frequent rumors of some thieves and robbers are enough to make many merchant families choose to take a detour, and over time, the mountains and rivers gradually become barren, and the deeper you go, the more difficult it is to find people.
In the mountains in the north of Luzhou, in the area known as the 'Longji Mountain Range', there are more than a dozen figures moving.
Dressed in black night clothes, they move strangely in the dark night, moving only a gentle breeze, leaving a shallow mark on the ground, and each of them is a good player with no weak skills.
After the Russian Revolution, more than a dozen figures gathered in one from all directions.
A man with a bronze plaque on his waist and a hideous ghost face tumbled down from a tree branch, his burly figure was faintly visible in his night clothes, and his vulture-like eyes were sharp, greedy and cold.
The man cried out: "Have you found any trace of him?" ”
"Didn't find it." The others looked at each other and shook their heads, their status was obviously much lower, they were just masked, they were all men, but at first glance they were not as strong as the man.
"The mountains within a radius of ten miles have been searched all over again, how can he not appear, and he can disappear out of thin air!" The man said hatefully: "There is a bounty of 50,000 taels of silver for this mission, and he must be found no matter what!" If we can force the lost magic skills from him, then we can definitely advance after a few years of cultivation, and maybe we can get rid of the identity of an assassin and don't have to do this bloody business! ”
"Boss, did he not go out at all, but just secretly hid?" One person speculated: "It's only been two days, and he has suffered a lot of injuries, so he shouldn't have gone too far, maybe he stayed near the escape place, but we didn't notice it." ”
"Are you saying that he has an excellent technique for concealing aura?" The man looked over, and he pondered for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, after all, he is an inner disciple of the Taibai Sword Sect, and it is natural to be taught some good things." ”
"Taibai Sword Sect...... Boss, if we kill him, will we invite death? An assassin was apprehensive, his panic was understandable, after all, the Taibai Sword Sect has been the best in the world, how many years has it been famous in the world, there are several strong grandmasters in the sect, and the strength of the Taishang Elder and the head of the sect is even more unfathomable, they are also quite strict about the selection of their own disciples, if they lose one or two people, they will definitely be traced to the end.
The man in black looked at him viciously, raised his hand and slapped it: "Afraid? Do you know now that you're afraid? Do you think if we don't kill him, he'll let us go? We are the assassins of the Blood Rain Building, we will take on tasks when we have them, and we will work hard for money, and we are a legitimate deal! Even if the Taibai Sword Sect came to find it, the Blood Rain Building would not change, it could stand for so many years, and naturally it had its own confidence. ”
He said coldly: "You just have this confidence, how can you become a big deal?" It's just a Taibai disciple, Zhenwu, Shaolin, which disciple I haven't killed? Aren't you alive and well now? It's not a matter of a year or two that the people of Tianxiang Pavilion want to kill me...... Hmph, take a step back, in this wilderness, if he is dead, he is dead, who can find out! ”
A group of juniors echoed and said yes.
At this time, suddenly a thunderclap sounded in the sky, and the man in black turned slightly pale, secretly scolding bad luck.
As soon as it rains, the mist in the mountains begins to dissipate, washing away all traces, whether they are residual breath or footprints, and it will be difficult to keep tracking.
Just as he was thinking about his irritability, suddenly there was a hoarse bird's cry in the woods.
A crow with a pitch-black body and bright red eyes flew over and stopped on the shoulder of the man in black, and it whispered a few times and flapped its wings to remind his master of what it had found.
The look of surprise in the man's eyes flickered.
He glanced at the few people behind him: "Hmph, a group of people can't compare to my blood crows." All keep up, that kid has already been exposed, he has been hit by my heartbreaker and unique tracking powder, he should have been exposed a long time ago, hum! ”
The man touched the crow's hair lovingly, released it, and let it lead the way.
More than a dozen figures caught up with the trajectory of the blood crow's flight, and in just half a pillar of incense, they stopped at a mountainside, which was a dilapidated mountain temple, and there should have been people here to worship before, but now no one has come, the incense is broken, no one repairs, and there is a dead silence.
The man in black stopped in the jungle, leaned down, and looked at the mountain temple in front of him, but in the dark temple, the light rose, and a figure could be faintly seen shining on the dilapidated doors and windows.
"Sure enough, there are people!" The bronze medal killer suppressed his surprise and raised his hand to signal the younger brothers behind him to get ready.
"Shoot the arrows!" He waved his hand heavily.
More than a dozen crossbow arrows burst through the air, and the arrows they shot were full of strength, all of which were made of stainless steel, which could easily be pierced through ordinary wood, and the top layer was smeared with a toxin with paralyzing properties, and it would take effect if it was scratched a little skin.
They didn't want to kill the people inside, so as not to get paid and waste the opportunity to torture the gods.
The shooting of crossbow arrows lasted for more than twenty seconds, and hundreds of crossbow arrows pierced the mountain temple with thousands of holes, and the dilapidated doors, windows, and door panels were completely useless, but there was still no sound from inside.
When the man in black was about to continue to test the truth, he only heard a 'boom', and a black light flashed through the sky.
He didn't even see it, and then one of his subordinates beside him let out a scream, and the pitch-black crossbow bolt was inserted into the shoulder, piercing through the flesh and bones, pulling him backwards, and the crossbow arrow was inserted into the tree, and the person was also nailed to the tree, unable to move.
The man in black's heart twitched violently, secretly shocked by the speed of the other party's attack and the fierceness of the counterattack.
"This kid still has so much strength left! But I'll see how long you can last! ”
The man in black, who knew that he had been exposed, snorted coldly, raised his hand and signaled his subordinates to go up together, anyway, the position has been exposed, it is better to kill him directly, and then under the cover of the night, the knife can also hack him to death!
A dozen assassins rushed over, and they felt that they had a great advantage! You can wave it!
Instinctively, all the assassins entered the mountain temple in a surrounding manner, and they had a clear division of labor and a tacit understanding.
Someone is responsible for extinguishing the fire, someone is responsible for striking a stick, someone is responsible for stabbing a knife, someone is responsible for setting a concealer, someone is responsible for subduing, and the signal for all this is the moment when the fire is extinguished.
However...... The moment they broke into the mountain temple, everyone was stunned.
What about the fire?
What's that big glowing orb of light? The groove is so bright, so dazzling!
A group of assassins came out of the darkness to kill, originally planning to play assassination with a colorful head that abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, but as soon as they came in, they were confused by the overly bright flares, and they felt that their eyes were glazed and they felt strongly uncomfortable.
For a split second, all attacks were dulled for half a second, and they lost their accuracy.
The man in black reacted very quickly, he shouted 'Withdraw', then slammed the ground, quickly retreated, slammed the door panel, and a donkey rolled around, narrowly avoiding the blade that grazed his eyebrows.
He did avoid it, but the other subordinates were only in the realm of qi accumulation, and they didn't have the reflex speed of the acquired martial artist at all, and they couldn't avoid the sharp sword light, so they were directly sealed by a sword and died on the spot.
The hot blood sprinkled in the dust of the mountain temple, like a long sword like a clear spring reflected the white light, illuminating a radius of ten meters, and the clear sword light swayed a halo, and an inch of bright red dripped down the sword body and melted into the dust.
One sword, ten kills.
The green-shirted swordsman swung his blade lightly, shaking off the bloodstains.
"I didn't want to kill you, why should you kill yourself?" The swordsman sighed in a low voice: "You have to be forgiving and forgiving, the people of the Blood Rain Building always can't learn this truth, repeating the process of killing and being killed." ”
"You...... You're not hurt? The man in black wanted to get up, but he found that his legs had been cut off unconsciously, and the strange sword qi extended half a meter at the moment of unsheathing, separating his legs, and most importantly, ...... He didn't even find out until now!
He was horrified inexplicably, at that time, his heart-destroying hand really hit Zhang Shanshui's back, shattering his back bones, and it should also severely damage his internal organs, and the heart-destroying palm force would continue to press his wounds, without the cultivation of more than six levels of the day after tomorrow, it would be impossible to suppress the injury, it would continue to deteriorate, and finally died of internal bleeding.
But the swordsman in front of him, where is half a point of injury and weakness?
He even changed a whole set of clothes!
Could this be his twin brother?
The bronze assassin's heart was almost broken, but he still lowered his head, begging for the other party to spare his life if the adult did not remember the villain.
However, before he could say goodbye, he heard a crisp gunshot.
The spiral bullet burst through the air, piercing the assassin man's stunned expression, opening a hole in his head and scattering red and white objects all over the ground.
"This kind of person can't stay alive." Bai Zhixin walked out of the mountain temple, blew away the green smoke from the muzzle of the gun, and said, "Otherwise, it will leave a big disaster." ”
ps: Joke: A friend saw that I was smoking more and more, and said with concern: "Quit smoking!" It's no good, my uncle smoked for more than 20 years, but he died a few years ago...... "I was a little moved, and I was about to put out the cigarette, and asked him casually: "What kind of cancer did your uncle get?" He sighed: "I was hit by a car on the road......"
