Volume 1 I Came from Heaven Chapter 23 Youth
"Your Highness!"
At the last moment, Xia Wuhua's long knife flew out of his hand, and in the moment of astonishment, the emperor jumped up and grabbed the sword in the air with his bare hands.
He was extremely dangerous with one enemy and three enemies, and at this time the posture retreated slightly, and another knife naturally stabbed into his lower abdomen, but he let the knife tear between his henchmen, turned around sharply, and fell between the "Aurora" and the Seven Princes who were about to launch.
"Boom!"
At the same time, a red light burst out, and a huge black hole appeared on the wall.
In the smoke and dust, Xia Wuhua suddenly knelt down in front of the Seventh Prince, and the three assassins lost their minds for a moment.
Abandon the knife, sacrifice your life, and protect the driver. In the blink of an eye, the three of them fought for their lives, and the blow was also resolved by Xia Wuhua with the method of fighting for their lives.
"Puff puff!"
Suddenly, three bloody holes appeared in the chest of the assassin who had mastered the "Aurora", and he slowly fell to the ground in disbelief.
The other two assassins were shocked and looked intently, only to see that where their companion had died, there were three crystal clear droplets of water in the air, and the cold light appeared and slowly dissipated.
According to legend, the Xia family of the royal family of Dayu, there is a kind of heavenly energy that spreads with the bloodline, called "cold rain".
The Seventh Prince, Xia Hui, was half-kneeling on the ground, his right hand hanging weakly, his left hand clenched into fists, and his eyes were calm.
The slightest trace of water vapor gathered in the air, and several crystal clear water droplets slowly formed, hanging quietly in the air.
At the same time, there was a chaotic footstep outside the door, and several guards had already rushed to the door.
"Withdraw!"
The short assassin governor couldn't do anything, he broke off his drink, raised his hand, and suddenly the sky and the earth were dark, and Shang Yu on the roof lost his vision.
In the darkness, the calm voice of the Seven Princes came: "Silence, form a circle, and defend in place!"
Although the Seventh Prince had never seen this kind of celestial ability before, he was caught off guard by this technique, and Fang Zhi was seriously injured as soon as he saw it, but he had been familiar with the military formation for a long time, and in a moment he had already figured out the use of his celestial ability and how to deal with it.
The guards of the Pingye Army were well-trained, and although they could not see, they were not chaotic at all, and they were quiet and ready for battle with the orders of the Seven Princes
The Seventh Prince instructed the guards to calm down, but he was nervous in his heart, the opponent's blade was highly poisonous, and he took the opportunity to sneak attack, at this time he was already powerless to move, and it was just a bluff to barely use the heavenly energy, if the other party took the risk at this time and assassinated again, he was afraid that his life would be confessed here.
The sound of breaking the sky in the darkness suddenly sounded, and the Seven Princes only felt chills all over their bodies, and the feeling of dying was extremely strong.
But then there was a clash of gold and iron, and the Seven Princes were shocked to hear their footsteps in the dark, knowing that they were safe, but their hearts were soaked in cold sweat.
After the darkness dissipated, the guards hurriedly entered the house with the help of fire candles to surround the thoughtful Seventh Prince and the unconscious Xia Wuhua, but they looked around but did not see the shadow of the assassin.
A guard went to look at the corpse on the ground again, and was shocked to find that its head was missing, and only an unknown male corpse remained.
Naturally, there was no mention of the disturbances here, and under the stars and moon, two assassins, one tall and one short, had already escaped from Liu's Mansion with the heads of their companions.
Shang Yu was unhurried with the two of them, his figure moved in the eaves of the house, often separated from the two by several rows of buildings, but he could always find a suitable position to include the two in his own perception, so that both sides were out of sight tracking, Shang Yu had never been discovered.
In the darkness just now, the assassin shouted "withdraw", but in fact, the two of them had a very tacit understanding, and the two knives attacked the Seven Princes together, and Shang Yu had to move to the scene in person to block this blow.
Although the two didn't know who Shang Yu was, they immediately made a decision, turned around and left after a blow, and before leaving, they didn't forget to cut off the head of their companion with a knife and take it away, Shang Yu was surprised by the well-trained and decisive of these two, and his curiosity followed.
Zizhou City is boxy, the curfew is strict, even if Liu's mansion is in chaos, the streets and alleys are still deserted.
The two Assassins arrived in an alley in the southern city and stopped in front of a small courtyard, and Shang Yu moved to the attic of the mansion and peeked through the wooden window into the courtyard.
There was a rhythmic knock on the door, and someone downstairs went to open the door to welcome the two people outside, and quickly closed the door.
"How?"
Under the faint moonlight, the person who opened the door was a kind-faced young man in white, he led the two to the living room, and asked with a smile.
The short man in black threw the head in his hand on the ground, ripped off his mask, picked up the teacup and took a big sip, and said, "Xia Hui is injured but not dead, and the seventh is also dead." ”
The tall man in black also took off his mask and sat on his chair without saying a word.
"Since he hurt Xia Hui, then he must have been poisoned?" the young man scratched his head, his expression was simple and cute, "Didn't you say that this snake venom saw blood and sealed its throat?"
The short man took another sip of tea: "Xia Hui's Tiantian power is higher than the previous intelligence, and after being poisoned, he can still support the Heavenly Energy." ”
At this time, the tall assassin who was the Heavenly Energy "Aurora" said: "The Seventh Prince is now in the Liu Mansion, it must not be difficult to find a way to detoxify, I don't know if he can survive until then." ”
"I see. The boy said, "So what do we do next?"
The short man put down the teacup and said, "According to the order of the headquarters, we will leave Zizhou immediately." ”
"Okay," the boy nodded, "you wait a minute, we will be out of the city tomorrow morning when I have set up the spies in the city." ”
With that, the boy exited the living room.
Shang Yu listened for a while, but he didn't solve the doubts in his heart, and then found that after the young man went out, he didn't go anywhere else, but just found a random place to sit down in the courtyard, as if he was waiting for something.
Inside the room, the two Heaven-level assassins stopped talking and closed their eyes.
Half an hour later, the short man's eyes suddenly widened, and he fell to the ground with a thud, his hand on his chest, and his face looked pained.
"What's wrong?" the tall assassin was startled and was about to ask, but he noticed a cramping pain in his abdomen, and his whole body gradually lost half of his strength.
At this time, I only heard the footsteps outside the hall, and the young man slowly walked in with a happy smile.
"Zhaoyue! you ......" The short man understood what was going on, but he looked at the young man angrily, "That tea ......"
"Naturally, it's the venom of the snake. The young man squatted down and said with a smile, "I don't have any poison here, so I have to use this, but I didn't expect this medicine to be so slow after taking it internally." ”
"For ...... Why?" puzzled the tall assassin.
They both work for the organization, they have never had conflicts, and they have cooperated several times without much interaction, so why does Zhao Yue want to kill them?
"There is no why. The boy remained harmless, and gently pressed his hand on top of the tall assassin's head.
Suddenly, a strange ghost light appeared around the two of them, and an indescribable strange power surged, and the tall assassin was shocked to realize that his heavenly energy was slowly draining, and what was even more terrifying was that his body was also slowly disappearing, scattering into a little light spot, converging into the strange ghostly light, and the young man's breath was actually getting stronger and stronger in the ghostly light.
"It's devouring!" exclaimed the short assassin next to him, his poison was deep, his voice hoarse, and blood was already pouring from his mouth and nose.
"You're the Devourer!"
"Yes," the tall assassin had disappeared without a trace, and the young man in white sighed, and came over to grab the short assassin's shoulder, and the ghost light came again, "It's natural, and I don't want to do that." ”
There are thousands of kinds of illusory heavenly energy, and there may be differences between strength and weakness during the period, but in the eyes of ordinary people, they are all gifts from God, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. There are only a few kinds of heavenly abilities, but they are recognized as taboos in the world.
For example, the ninety-ninth heavenly energy of the heavenly department can "devour".
Legend has it that this kind of celestial energy can take the celestial energy of others for its own use, and it can also improve its own heaven-bearing power by devouring the bodies of other celestial bearers. Because it is too powerful, people with this natural ability often can't resist the temptation of power, and begin to hunt down other heavenly inheritors, setting off countless bloody rains, so it is generally believed that this kind of heavenly ability is really the source of the world, and those who awaken this kind of natural ability are often either forcibly wiped out or strictly guarded.
After a few breaths, the glow faded, and the two assassins had disappeared, except for two piles of clothes spread on the ground, in a very strange situation, and the young man in white stretched his waist with a look of satisfaction.
Shang Yu was above the attic, and although he hadn't seen this scene, he already knew what was happening.
I just wanted to see who this group of assassins were, but I didn't expect that there was a windfall.
Shang Yu thought about it, found a mask from the attic and put it on his head, and then his figure flashed and came to the young man.
Zhao Yue saw a person suddenly appear in front of him, but he was startled, and when he raised his hand, an ice arrow was shot.
Shang Yu didn't say much, he rushed to the front, waved at Zhao Yue with an empty hand, and as his hand fell, the short knife on the ground naturally appeared in his palm.
"Bell-" Zhao Yue made a move, and another short knife on the ground flew up in the air, blocking in front of Shang Yu's knife.
Shang Yu's blade slid past the opponent's blade, stepped back to the side, and slashed out a second slash diagonally.
Zhao Yue raised his hands, his forearms were the color of gold and iron, and he blocked the knife again with a bang, and then, the white-clothed young man pressed his left hand, and a suction force in his hand firmly grasped the blade, and his right hand was one, and a gust of cold air rolled up, and the frost spread along the blade to Shang Yu's arm and then to his whole body, and instantly frozen the whole person Shang Yu into an ice sculpture.
Shang Yu struggled, the frost on his body was shattered, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Zhao Yue's right hand was burning with a raging fire, which was extremely hot, and it was imprinted towards his heart.
Shang Yu pulled back the short knife with his right hand, grabbed it behind him with his left hand, and held the short knife that was summoned to control the floating in the air in his palm, and then jumped into the air, his body danced a whirlwind, and the two knives swung down one after another.
In the midst of the splashing of sparks, only the countless sounds of swords and soldiers could be heard, summoning more arms to protect their heads, and retreating again and again.
Twenty-nine knives later, Shang Yu's figure fell to the ground, the two knives were combined, and the last knife was slashed out with thick strength.
"Whew-"
With an extremely unpleasant sound, Zhao Yue fell out three or four steps, and there were two deep cracks on the golden and iron arm, and blood spurted out of it.
Shang Yu threw away the two steel knives with broken blades and stood in place, watching the young man's hands glow with milky white fluorescence, and the wounds slowly healed.
"How old are you this year?" Shang Yu asked suddenly.
Zhao Yue was already soaked in sweat at this time, he didn't know where the person in front of him came from or why he wanted to fight him, but he tried his best, but this person injured himself with just two steel knives......
"XVI. Zhao Yue replied vigilantly.
I don't know how many Heavenly Bearers this body has devoured, if this young man is really only sixteen years old, there must be many stories about him.
Shang Yu was silent for a moment, he could test whether the young man was a demon king or a corpse with just a knife, but he didn't think he needed to do anything.
He asked the young man, "Who instructed you to assassinate the Seven Princes tonight?"
