Chapter 7: Assassination

Ziyan had long been suspicious of this short man in his heart, his body was already ready to go, and when he heard his scream, he already snorted, his slender legs bent back, and suddenly popped out of the place, and in an instant, he had already jumped backwards several meters away.

But Ziyan's leap still didn't have time to completely dodge after all. The short man had already swooped down towards the purple smoke as he screamed. And at the same time, two figures also flashed in the woods on the side, rushing towards the purple smoke like thunder.

This is...... Assassinate!

Jiang Xiao immediately understood what was happening in front of him, and his heart was pounding. The short man, who was obviously also a member of the academy, lured Ziyan into Bitan Mountain in order to set a trap in this favorable terrain and ambush Ziyan.

To Jiang Xiao's surprise, the three of them didn't use any special abilities, they just surrounded the purple smoke in the middle, clenched their hands into claws, jumped up and down, and waved violently. But under the moonlight, Jiang Xiao could vaguely see the tips of the three people's fingers, and five sharp bone claws stretched out, white light. But their speed and strength are far beyond the limits of ordinary people. Jiang Xiao could see clearly, one of them swung out with a claw, and was easily dodged by the purple smoke, but he couldn't catch it and grabbed it on a small tree. The tree, though not tall, was the thickness of an adult's calf, made a terrible crunch under that claw, snapping from it and falling to the ground.

"It's just three civilians, do you really think you can kill me?" Ziyan's arms have evolved into a large group of rats, and at this moment, they have no ability to fight back, so they can only dodge under the siege of those three people, but they dodge every time they can't do it, and they haven't been touched at all.

And the countless rats in the pit had also rushed towards the purple smoke, and the first one was no more than ten meters away. Jiang Xiao had seen Ziyan evolve his hands into pigeons and then regain his appearance, and he knew that as long as those mice returned to Ziyan's body, they would immediately turn back into arms.

It's just that...... Such a graceful beauty, being surged into her body by a group of mice, and then fused into the appearance of arms, I am afraid that it may not be good-looking.

Ever since he found out that Ziyan was here, Jiang Xiao's heart had flashed countless thoughts that he wanted to leave immediately, unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the academy, and now, Ziyan was ambushed by the same organization, and this kind of thing was not something he could get involved in.

Once involved, let alone maintaining your current life, I'm afraid that even your own life will be at risk.

However, no matter how many times this thought flashed through his mind, Jiang Xiao couldn't take a step and turned to leave. It's not that the body is out of control, it's that the mind can't make this decision.

After repeatedly urging himself in his mind countless times to no avail, Jiang Xiao's heart suddenly jumped in shock.

The idea of leaving was naturally Jiang Xiao's own thoughts. But the thought that prevented him from leaving was ...... Why is it so deeply ingrained in my mind?

Jiang Xiao remembered the last meaningful gaze of Lao Hua in the drinker's shop before.

If he had changed his usual day, it would have been impossible for him to make the decision to come to Bitan Mountain! And now, step by step, he has come here like a ghost, and after seeing Ziyan assassinated by his colleagues, he did not leave.

Don't...... What hints did Lao Hua plant for himself without knowing it?!

As soon as Jiang Xiao's thought came to him, he felt that the thought that prevented him from leaving in Fang Cai's mind suddenly vanished. I couldn't take any steps that I couldn't take anymore, but I can already move. His heart was relieved, and he quickly turned around, and was about to leave this dangerous place quietly.

As for the purple smoke...... Whether she lived or died, it was an internal matter of the Academy, and it had nothing to do with him anymore.

But Jiang Xiao just turned around and saw it...... A pair of eyes!

A pair of dark eyes, two pupils so big that they almost covered the entire eye socket, and the whites of the eyes were almost invisible, just a few centimeters away from Jiang Xiao. When Jiang Xiao just turned his head, the faces of the two were about to be pasted together. At such a close distance, apart from those eyes, Jiang Xiao didn't even know what the other party looked like, whether it was a man or a woman.

And those eyes only looked at Jiang Xiao at eye level, without even blinking, and there was no emotion in their eyes.

Jiang Xiao endured the horror in his heart, but he still didn't make a sound, but his heart beat violently, almost jumping out of his chest.

Behind him, there was a person standing all the time, silently, so that he didn't notice it at all.

How long has he been here?

Who is he?

What does he want to do?

Jiang Xiao didn't dare to move, even his breathing was suppressed to the minimum, his brain was spinning rapidly, and he only heard the sound of fighting behind him from time to time in his ears, but he didn't know what the battle situation was between Ziyan and the people in the three academies, but this was not a problem for him to consider now.

The silence continued.

Until Ziyan a sneer came from behind Jiang Xiao, breaking the silence between the two. Jiang Xiao also saw the pair of eyes in front of him, and suddenly turned them, as if looking in the direction of the purple smoke behind him.

Run!

Don't run now, wait when!

The owner of the pair of eyes in front of him was obviously diverted for a moment. In this instant, Jiang Xiao had already activated his ability to teleport.

Although his teleportation range is no more than ten meters, only by opening up the distance can he talk about the next move. Jiang Xiao's figure suddenly disappeared on the spot, and when he reappeared ten meters away, he had changed from an upright standing posture to a running posture that bent down and was ready to go.

However, that posture only lasted less than half a second. The next moment, Jiang Xiao didn't have time to exert his strength, only felt a heavy blow to the back of his neck, and then the whole person was slammed to the ground.

A hand tightly grabbed the back of Jiang Xiao's neck like an iron hoop, dragging him to turn around and walk in the direction he came. Jiang Xiao was pressed to the ground, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained by that hand, and he couldn't even do the slightest struggle.

His gaze was limited to the ground in front of him, Jiang Xiao clenched his teeth, and could only feel the owner of that hand dragging him forward step by step. And until this moment, Jiang Xiao still didn't know his appearance.

After being dragged for dozens of steps, Jiang Xiao suddenly felt a strong force coming from his neck again, lifting him all over the body and hitting a tree without resistance. A sharp pain in his chest followed, followed by a fishy sweetness in his throat.

That person's lift also set up Jiang Xiao's person, allowing him to see the situation in front of him clearly.

Ziyan was still standing in the middle of the clearing in the forest, his arms still with empty sleeves, but the remaining three people had all fallen to the ground, and their bodies were crawling with dense poisonous scorpions.

The poisonous scorpions were not very large, each one was only half the length of an ordinary person's palm, but the color was golden, even in the dark night, it was extremely conspicuous, and there were nearly a thousand of them crawling around on the three people. The tail hook behind the buttocks is erected high into the sky, showing off its might.

The three of them were still not dead, they were just trembling and twitching in place, but they strangely did not make any sound, Jiang Xiao raised his eyes reluctantly, and saw that the faces of the three people were already covered with a thick black gas, and their bodies were curled up little by little in trembling.

"Dark Flame...... Sure enough, you have a share, it's not them who are arguing. Ziyan raised her head, looked at the man who was still pressing Jiang Xiao's neck and didn't let go, and smiled coldly. And the poisonous scorpion that crawled on the three of them automatically split into two halves at this moment, crawling towards the purple smoke quickly. Half of them gathered in front of Ziyan, forming a semicircle, while the other half rushed in front of Ziyan, quickly climbing up her legs and burrowing into the sleeve of her right arm.

Ziyan's face is still beautiful and moving, but at this moment, in this situation, there are still three men on the ground who are still struggling, and they are about to die in the blink of an eye, and this first-class beauty is crawling with vicious poisonous scorpions, this picture looks like it is really a little infiltrating.

And it was only at this time that Jiang Xiao finally saw the appearance of the man who captured him. It was a tall and toned man, handsome like a sculpture in Greek mythology, wearing a slim tunic with a three-dimensional cut, which set off the inverted triangle body shape more perfectly. A slightly curly hair hung down to her shoulders, caressing it slightly in the night breeze.

And his eyes, just as Fang Cai Jiang Xiao had seen, had huge black pupils that filled almost the entire socket, revealing a touching obsidian color under the illumination of the moonlight.

"If it weren't for the fact that I've been paying attention to this helper of yours and fighting with them, do you think you would still be able to stand and talk to me now?" the man named Dark Flame said lightly, "Although they are both cadres of the academy, don't forget, I am a warrior, and you are just a mere craftsman. ”

His voice was just like his face, mellow and magnetic, so standard that he couldn't hear the slightest accent.

"Helper?" At this moment, the half of the poisonous scorpion has all returned to Ziyan's body, and has re-transformed into her right arm, but the sleeve on the left side is still empty: "Where did I get any helper?"

It was only at this time that she noticed Jiang Xiao's face, which was pinched by the dark flame and pressed against the tree, and frowned: "Jiang Xiao?!"

Jiang Xiao was tightly pinched by the palm of the dark flame like an iron hoop, and it was extremely difficult to even breathe, where could he still have the strength to answer Ziyan's question?

"But this kind of kid who hasn't awakened yet, do you think it's going to be of any use?" Dark Yan sneered, and the hand on Jiang Xiao's neck tightened a little more: "If I honestly evolved my two legs into rats just now, wouldn't it take me much effort?"

"Hmph, that guy under you, when I was asked to do this again and again, I already felt that something was wrong. But ......" Ziyan stretched out his finger and pointed at Jiang Xiao, who was tightly locked by Dark Flame: "This kid didn't come from me, nor is he from the academy, it has nothing to do with us, you let him go." ”

Dark Yan turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xiao in his hand: "Originally, I thought it was strange, even if you have any doubts about me, you won't treat this kind of goods as a helper." But ......"

His hand loosened slightly, so that Jiang Xiao's throat, which was almost suffocated, finally gained a trace of air that he had not seen for a long time: "Say, why are you here." ”

Jiang Xiao's face was already flushed red from lack of oxygen, and he suddenly relaxed at this moment, and immediately coughed uncontrollably and violently, even if he wanted to open his mouth to answer the dark flame, he couldn't do anything.

"Speak. Dark Yan looked coldly at Jiang Xiao, who was still under control, and pointed his right hand into a knife, aiming at Jiang Xiao's lower abdomen.

The next moment, if Jiang Xiao didn't open his mouth again, Dark Yan's palm would be directly inserted into his body.

"I ...... cough cough......" Jiang Xiao gasped, and was about to tell Lao Hua's affairs. Whether it's the academy or Lao Hua, what does it have to do with him? If Dark Yan had asked him earlier, he would have said it a long time ago. But the iron palm that had been tightly locked in his throat by the dark flame before, and at this moment, his lungs, which were almost holding back to the explosion, had just gained air, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Dark Yan's face sank, and he was about to make a move, but his eyes suddenly froze, he didn't care about Jiang Xiao, he rose from the ground, jumped straight on the trunk of a big tree on the side, and roared angrily: "Ziyan!
