Chapter 51: The Assassins
Xiao He and the others returned to Guo's mansion, and their rooms had been arranged at this time, so they each returned to their own rooms to rest.
The night is getting deeper, and it has just entered autumn, although it is in the south of the Yangtze River, but the wind in the middle of the night is also a little chilly.
In Murong Yan's room, the lights had been extinguished, and the moonlight was sprinkled through the paper window, but she could see the surroundings clearly clearly.
A man in black slowly landed from the beam in the room, he took out the dagger in his hand, and tiptoed close to Murong Yan's couch.
The face of the man in black was covered, and only his eyes were exposed, and those eyes actually emitted a green light.
The man in black walked up to him and raised the dagger to stab, but he felt wrong in his heart, he lifted the futon and took a look, how could there be a shadow of Murong Yan?
"Oh no, fooled!"
The man in black said secretly and rushed out of the house, just about to use light skills to escape, but was covered by a large net falling from the sky.
"Hmph, you are not small, and you dare to assassinate Shi in the mansion?"
Murong Yan appeared, and she pointed at the man in black and shouted.
Xiao He and Luo Fanchen also rushed after, and when they saw this scene, their hearts suddenly became steady, the two of them had been stationed in the dark for a long time, just waiting for him to take the bait.
"If you dare to assassinate alone, the person who instructed you must also be a person with a head and a face, hurry up and get your name!" Luo Fanchen shouted.
The man in black did not panic at all, he raised his head, stared at a few people and asked:
"How did you find out?"
Xiao He and the others were slightly taken aback when they heard that it was a woman's voice.
"Today in 'Unenvy Immortal', you have shown your feet, I deliberately did not demolish you, just waiting for you to be captured alive tonight. Xiao He replied.
"I think your target must be Aunt Murong, tell me quickly, who instructed you to assassinate?" Xiao He then asked.
The woman in black laughed, and she said unhurriedly:
"I didn't expect to underestimate you, let me tell you, I've been waiting in Jinling City for many days, just to take Madam Murong's head..."
When Murong Yan heard this, her anger rose, and she stepped forward and shouted:
"I have no grievances with you, why do you want to put me to death?"
The woman in black sneered and replied:
"I'm innocent of you, but someone wants you to die, and they paid a good price..."
"Who is it?" said almost in unison.
"Hehe... It seems that you don't understand the rules of the way, and the Assassin won't tell the employer behind it, so you will die of this heart..."The woman in black replied.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you with one palm?" Xiao He stepped forward and threatened.
"It seems that you have misunderstood, my mission is not over yet, do you think that a single net can trap me?"
After the woman in black finished speaking, she was full of demonic energy, and turned into a black shadow and escaped from the lattice of the big net.
The shadow suddenly rushed straight towards Murong Yan, the speed was too fast for people to think about it, and the demonic aura all over his body was like a sharp dagger that wanted to kill him with one blow.
Murong Yan was shocked, she couldn't react at this moment, and her feet were locked like a boulder, and she couldn't move.
At this moment of life and death, a strong force pushed Murong Yan aside, the shadow jumped into the air, turned his head to look, and it turned out that it was Xiao He who rushed up to save Murong Yan.
"Fanchen, you hurry up and take Aunt Murong to a safe place, and I'll deal with this demon!" Xiao He shouted.
"No, the speed of this demon is too fast, I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with it..."Luo Fanchen worried.
Xiao He mentioned his strength and made a "Yanlong Exploring the Sea", he secretly combined his "carefree energy", and the "dragon claw" struck at the shadow with raging flames.
The shadow seemed to be taken aback, but the "dragon claw" hid to the side before it could get close, and the speed was unbelievable.
The "Dragon Claw" failed to strike, and was driven by the "Loose Energy" to explode, and it actually split into several small fireballs to lock on to the shadow.
"Take advantage of now, Fanchen, you quickly take Aunt Murong to retreat!" Xiao He shouted.
Luo Fanchen hurriedly helped Murong Yan up, and with a flick of his foot, the two jumped onto the wall.
"Hmph, it's not that easy to escape!" the shadow shouted, and while dodging a few fireballs, he shot a cold arrow at Murong Yan's heart.
"Auntie, be careful!" Luo Fanchen didn't have time to cast a spell, so he blocked it with his body in a hurry.
With a "poof", the cold arrow sank into Luo Fanchen's shoulder, splashing a few drops of blood.
Luo Fanchen suddenly felt a sharp pain, gritted his teeth and said:
"Auntie, let's go!"
Luo Fanchen and Murong Yan jumped up, and a few bounces disappeared into the night.
"Hmph, where to escape!" The shadow still wanted to catch up with Luo Fanchen and the others.
Xiao He vigorously released it violently, and the speed of those fireballs suddenly increased, catching up with the shadow.
The fireball saw an opportunity to collide, but the shadow turned oddly downward.
Several fireballs collided, and flames erupted. The shadow seemed to be terrified of the flames, dodging the shattered shards.
Xiao He let out a loud shout and rushed forward, the dark black flames combined with pure yang power gathered in the palm of his hand.
"Eat me!"
Xiao He struck out with a palm, and the shadow was a little faster, and it dodged like a meteor.
The force urged the black flame to explode in the air, and the black flame was scattered in all directions by the air explosion, and a wave of extremely domineering heat rushed to the shadow.
The shadow turned his head in the air in pain, and suddenly shot out a demonic aura, this demonic aura was very cold, but the speed was like lightning, Xiao He didn't have time to lift his strength, and resisted with his arms.
That demonic qi shot into Xiao He's body and flowed frantically to the veins of his whole body.
Xiao He immediately felt as cold as being in an ice cellar, and hurriedly lifted the pure yang energy to drive away the cold in his body.
The shadow took advantage of Xiao He Yungong's gap to climb over the wall and disappear into the night.
The slightest cold qi was forced out of Xiao He's body, and he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this cold qi had not yet entered his qi sea, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"The skill of this demon is not very high, but the speed is extremely fast, and the exercise is also very ruthless, just now I vaguely saw Fan Chen injured, I don't know how he is now..."
Thinking so, he ran towards Luo Fanchen and Murong Yan who had fled.
**************** *******************
The shadow slowly crept into a mansion and slipped into a side room.
There was only one oil lamp lit in the room, and in the dim light, a middle-aged man sat firmly in a chair.
This man looked to be forty or fifty years old, dressed in fine clothes, and unusually dignified.
The shadow slowly reappeared in human form, bowing to the middle-aged man:
"Master, Miao Xuanxuan is back..."
The woman in black was hit by Xiao He, obviously injured, and there were burns on her shoulder.
"How's it going?" the middle-aged man asked.
"The subordinate missed, and there is a cultivator with very strange strength beside Murong Yan..."The woman in black replied.
"Rubbish!"
Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, he held out with a palm, which faintly carried a fierce golden mana, and beat the woman in black upside down and flew out.
The woman in black struggled to get up, trembling all over, this middle-aged man's strength was also in the late stage of Shuzun, obviously this woman in black was thinking about something, and she was willing to be humiliated.
"This matter can't be done well, how can you let me explain it in front of the eldest prince? I originally wanted to let that Guo Xi retreat in the face of difficulties, but it seems that I have to think of other ways..."The middle-aged man said.
"Master, I won't miss it again next time," said the woman in black.
"Hmph, you have to remember that your 'Nine Lives Demon Ding' is in my hands, if you fail again, I will destroy it, so that you will never be able to live beyond life. Stand down!" the middle-aged man frowned and shouted.
"Subordinates obey..."The woman in black slowly retreated.
When she walked into the distance, the woman in black pulled down the cover of her face, revealing a beautiful girl's face.
Her light eyebrows, tall nose, melon seed face, and slightly thicker lips also add a bit of style.
Especially those green eyes, which give people a different kind of enchantment.
"Shen Hebi, if it weren't for my handle falling into your hands, how could I be reduced to being your eagle dog, once I have the opportunity, I will definitely retrieve the 'Nine Lives Demon Ding', and I will definitely tear you to pieces when the time comes!"
