The development of things was somewhat unexpected by Xia Sheng.

Because he didn't expect that those killers hiding in the bamboo forest had already been killed by Pei Yuan with a sword without even making a decent resistance!

This is by no means because these killers are all fledgling rookies like Meng Qi.

It's because of Pei Yuan's sword power, which is originally so strong!

In the face of absolute strength, no conspiracy and trickery will help, and any sneak attack and assassination will have nowhere to live!

From this point of view, in the city lord's mansion in Jinling City that day, Pei Yuan really did not exert all his strength against Kang Wuwei and Xia Sheng, or in other words, he never had pure killing intent towards Xia Sheng.

Xia Sheng didn't know if this was good news, but at least Pei Yuan's existence could indeed clear all the difficulties and obstacles on the road ahead for him.

In just an instant, in front of Xia Sheng's eyes, five corpses with different heads had appeared, as well as a waste man whose arms were cut off shoulder to shoulder.

Xia Sheng knew that these six killers were not all of them ambushing him in the bamboo forest today.

Because Meng Qi hasn't shown up yet.

But he still walked with indomitable steps, came to the only living mouth in the field, squatted down, and looked at each other with a smile.

"Who sent you?"

The black-clothed killer collapsed in a pool of blood in shock, as if he had not recovered from Pei Yuan's earth-shattering sword, so much so that he had forgotten what he should do as an assassin in the first place after the mission failed.

So next, Xia Sheng didn't expect to hear any answer from his mouth, but neatly stretched out his hand and directly removed his chin.

Then Xia Sheng took out a silver needle from his sleeve and gently pierced it into the side of the other party's neck, looking into his eyes. One by one, he enumerated: "It is the Pei family, the prince, the Tianxing Academy, Qin Ran, Wei Zhiyuan, the Xu family, and Hu Shuo......."

However, in a matter of moments, Xia Sheng had already told all his possible enemies, even Xiao Zhen, the mayor of White Horse Town, and Yin Shizhen of the Adjudication Division.

It's a pity that until the end, Xia Sheng was not able to get the pulse of the black-clothed killer. got the answer he wanted, but the smile on his face gradually faded, and his brow furrowed secretly.

"Isn't it? That's interesting......

At the same time that Xia Sheng was interrogating the other party, a cold light suddenly galloped from the oblique thorn, but it was not to hurt Xia Sheng, but to go towards the killer!

In this regard, Xia Sheng didn't even blink his eyelids, and Kang Wuwei, who had been guarding him, pulled out the long sword at his waist at the first time.

In an instant, a barren blood erupted from the tip of his sword. Directly shook the dagger glowing with green light in mid-air into pieces, but he was not Pei Yuan after all, even if the long sword was in his hand, he could not hurt people with sword qi in the air.

Seeing that the fish that had slipped through the net was about to retreat, Pei Yuan snorted lightly.

So suddenly a thunderbolt sounded in the forest, and it was endless, and the green bamboo ten zhang away was smashed into pieces, and the figure hidden between the bamboo forest and leaves was also smashed. The halt is cut into two sections!

Kang Wuwei slowly withdrew the long sword from his waist and turned his head. looked at Pei Yuan with a solemn expression, and even his breathing became a little heavy.

This is the gap between the Sword Emperor and the Sword Venerable!

In comparison, Xia Sheng was not too surprised by this, all his attention was still on the only living mouth, but he couldn't find a breakthrough for a while.

Then, with the attitude of giving it a try. Xia Sheng suddenly changed the way he asked, and expanded the scope of his target to those around him.

"It's my father's enemy, the enemy of the Weining Marquis Mansion, the enemy of the Spring and Autumn Academy, and the ...... of the Shantang Huh?"

When Xia Sheng blurted out the words "Shantang", he clearly felt a completely different fluctuation from his fingers, and the contempt in the killer's eyes was quietly clouded.

So Xia Sheng finally got the answer.

The one who comes is the enemy of Shantang!

After a brief moment of surprise. That faint smile resurfaced on Xia Sheng's face: "In this way, it's interesting." ”

"In Osmanthus Alley that day, it was also your people's hands?"

"Since I am the enemy of Shantang, why did I find me, is it because of Qin Yan's relationship, or because I have a good character in my hand?"

......

After the breakthrough was completely opened, the next interrogation came naturally, and then, Xia Sheng asked the last three most important questions.

"Does Wei Xianfeng have any contact with you?"

"Second Master Qin's death, was it done by your people?"

"Did you arrange the people who chased Pingnanhou all the way from Xiling to Heishui Town?"

It's just that between the lightning and flint, a complete and clear line has appeared in Xia Sheng's mind, and it was only at this time that he suddenly realized, and no matter where this force that is hostile to Shantang came from, but at least one thing is clear, that is, in fact, he had crossed paths with them at a very early age!

And this side of the forces has actually exposed their hostility to Shantang a long time ago, whether it is assassinating Pingnanhou to blame Shantang, causing a gap between Shantang and the Ruling Division, or killing Qin Erye, causing turmoil within the Qin family, as well as outsiders' snooping on Qin Xiaohua's attitude, and even assassinating Xia Sheng many times, trying to shake the prestige and status of the Qin family's Shantang......

All of this, there is a pair of invisible hands, step by step, slowly trying to subvert the foundation of Shantang in the Dajin Dynasty, the viciousness of its heart, the secretness of its form, enough to make people's scalp tingle!

It's a pity that they underestimated Shantang, Qin Xiaohua, and Xia Sheng.

Therefore, in the next moment, Xia Sheng said directly to Pei Yuan: "Help me catch someone who can speak." ”

Pei Yuan grinned lightly: "I'm also curious, who the hell is that dares to blame my Pei family so grandiosely!"

After saying this, Pei Yuan's figure flashed in place and disappeared, and even if Kang Wuwei wanted to observe this Sword Dao Venerable's control of power up close, he still stuck to Xia Sheng's side, not moving even a step.

Ten breaths later, Pei Yuan returned to Xia Sheng's body, and in his hand, he carried a black-clothed assassin covered in blood.

"Rest assured, I've broken his tendons and hamstrings, and broken all his teeth, so at least I'll be able to outlive this guy. ”

Xia Sheng nodded, took the rather miserable-looking killer from Pei Yuan's hand with a smile, and said to him with a smile: "I know the rules of your killer world, unless you have to, you must not disclose the information of your employer, but at the same time, I also want you to recall what is the first of the seven laws of killers?"

With that, Xia Sheng slowly raised his hand and patted it on the head of the killer who had his arms cut off before, seemingly lightly.

Immediately afterward, the man's head shattered silently, until in the end, not a single corpse was left.
