Chapter 0416: Assassination by the Lake
The starlight reflected by the lake is very bright, but the silver light is very dim, and the two are similar in color and have the interference of the lake and the cover of the night, it is really difficult to distinguish, even in the realm of Xia Qingyang, it is difficult to find it in advance without being on guard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But he still felt it in advance, because the silver light was very cold, and the cold here does not mean the low temperature, but a feeling, just like when you are walking on a sunny street, and suddenly you fall into a dark mass grave, and you feel cold from the inside out, cold hair.
Xia Qingyang naturally didn't feel furious in his heart, but he really felt the coldness, to be precise, it was an ice sword.
Not a sword, but an ice sword.
The moment the silver light broke through the lake, Xia Qingyang saw clearly, it was an ice sword. The sword is extremely thin, as thin as a piece of chopsticks, and the sword is extremely sharp, so sharp that the air is silent when it breaks through the lake, and the sword is extremely short, so short that it can not be called a dagger.
Xia Qingyang experienced a short period of loss of consciousness, because this sword was too special, he could see that this was a natal Horcrux, a Horcrux condensed and conjured by a soul master, but it was so real, not like a sword, but more like a piece of ice.
Not to mention an excellent soul master, a perfect soul master can't do it to this extent, the legend of the soul master may be possible, but at that level, you need to sneak attack?
After losing his mind, Xia Qingyang still didn't make the reaction that an outstanding master should have, because this mysterious assassin shocked him even more than the ice sword in his hand, and until this moment, there was not the slightest fluctuation of soul power.
At this moment, Xia Qingyang really suspected that the legendary soul master had made a move, because it was impossible for a perfect soul master to hide from him at such a close distance, and with his current combat strength, even if it was a perfect soul master of Lan Haotian's level, it would be a fool's dream to solve him without using soul power.
Then there is only one possible explanation for the scene in front of him, that is, an assassin who is not a soul master, holding a magical Horcrux, launched a sneak attack on him.
Is it for the Sha family's caravan, or is it for Qian Muyong's hunting team? Either way, there's no need to attack me as a fellow, right?
This thought turned, and the ice sword was already less than a foot away from Xia Qingyang's eyebrows, and the cold murderous aura directly turned the water droplets spilled from the ice sword into ice slag.
Then those ice slags suddenly changed direction in the air without wind, and shot towards Yin Sheng, who was ignorant on the side.
"Ouch!" Xia Qingyang screamed, his toes were a little, his body was crooked, and at the same time, his hands reached out, and he bent his fingers and dropped several ice slag bullets into the lake.
When Yin Sheng looked at him in surprise, Xia Qingyang's face changed, and the ice sword that could have been dodged by him actually followed him like a shadow, and the target was still his eyebrows.
You must know that his movements seem simple, but in fact he is extremely clever, not only with the help of the speed of Tianxingbu, but also with the use of the power of the divine wood comprehended, coupled with the perfect flexibility of his physical body, he has full confidence to dodge this sword.
But that sword not only chased closely, but also the target did not change, the speed remained the same, and even the murderous aura increased unabated, as if it was originally the direction of the stab.
Xia Qingyang, who was proficient in the Soul Breaking Sword Technique, instantly understood that this assassin's sword technique was extremely mysterious, although it could not be compared with the Soul Breaking Sword Technique's circular turning Ruyi, but it could also be called like an arm and a finger, and it could be called a master.
The hunting knife appeared in his hand, Xia Qingyang was so crooked, his elbows supporting the ground, holding the knife in one hand and pushing upward, but the target was the hand behind the ice sword.
Until this moment, Xia Qingyang did not see the face of the assassin, to be precise, he only saw a hand and half an arm, and the other party used the night and the stones by the river and the night clothes on his body to perfectly hide his body.
When Yin Sheng screamed after his death, there were shouts and footsteps in the distance, but Xia Qingyang and the assassin turned a deaf ear to them, and they only had their own knives and swords in their eyes.
The ice sword took the lead, and the speed became faster and faster, piercing into Xia Qingyang's eyebrows, who were no longer dodging, and it only took a blink of an eye.
Xia Qingyang didn't blink, he didn't look at the sword, his knife made a perfect arc and slashed towards that hand.
Exchanging a hand for a life is a cost-effective thing, especially for an assassin, and when the owner of this life is called Xia Qingyang, it will undoubtedly be more cost-effective.
But this assassin didn't seem to think so, with a flick of his wrist, the ice sword changed direction for the second time, stabbing Xia Qingyang's lower abdomen, and the move conversion was still freehand, but it was difficult to call it perfect, because he was a passive change of move.
Although the opponent was forced to change his moves, Xia Qingyang secretly praised in his heart, if this assassin was really not a soul master, then he was really perverted to the extreme, and he actually saw the mystery of his strange action at the last moment, and the other elbow on the ground could exert force at any time, even if he couldn't avoid the sword, he would not lose his life.
A soul master who uses one hand to exchange for an excellent level is hit by a sword, even if it is a perfect level of Horcruxes, normal people have to consider it.
From this point of view, the assassin seems to be normal, just
Xia Qingyang suddenly felt a chill in his crotch, but he felt angry and funny under the anger, generally speaking, attacking the enemy's lower abdomen is not a nasty number, but it only refers to the lower abdomen, not the lower abdomen.
At the level of the Assassin's performance, he would never have been stabbed, and such a precise choice of direction only showed that he had done so on purpose.
Could it be that the revenge of Yutai Hongyue is coming? Xia Qingyang continued to slash at the opponent's wrist with a backhand, but the other hand that was supported on the ground suddenly withdrew, and his body suddenly fell to the ground, widening the distance between the two sides, and the cold air under his crotch was much lighter.
Xia Qingyang took a long breath and said with a smile: "Come and don't be rude." A kick flew up and kicked between the man's legs.
So far, he didn't feel any fluctuations in his soul power, and he saw that the opponent's hand-to-hand combat was really rare in his life, so he had the intention of winning, so when he shot, he completely relied on his physical strength and martial arts skills, and did not use the means of the soul master.
The man was sideways in the air at this time, making a volley gesture, although the figure was still elusive, it was already difficult to avoid Xia Qingyang's eyes.
He suddenly bent his knees down, collided with Xia Qingyang's feet, and bounced up with his upper body, just like that, he volleyed in the air, bent one leg, and his knees stood in the air with the help of the little strength of Xia Qingyang's toes.
"There are assassins!" The hunting party and the martial artists of the courtyard had already come closer, but because of Yin Sheng and Xia Qingyang, they did not use bows and arrows, and could only rely on shouts to deter the enemy.
Yin Sheng didn't know where he got the courage, so he picked up a stone and threw it at the assassin with all his might, but he couldn't see the assassin's position, so he aimed at the dazzling sword.
Somehow, the assassin, who didn't even let the hunting knife give him the slightest hint of retreat, didn't hesitate at all when he saw the flying stone, and directly relied on the little strength on his knee that had not yet been exhausted, his upper body leaned back violently, and a dagger in his sleeve also came out of his hand, volleying the stone in the air.
Xia Qingyang couldn't let him get away easily, after colliding with the assassin's knee, the retracted foot stepped the ground, slapped the ground with his backhand, his body bounced upward, and the other foot quickly kicked up with the force.
The assassin seemed to suddenly become sluggish, allowing Xia Qingyang's feet to slip between his legs.
Xia Qingyang was just right, and the fight made him have a very accurate grasp of the length of those two long legs, and he would never kick the opponent's ass or thigh, and after one kick, this terrible assassin would have to be a new person.
However, he only kicked the soft fabric, and nothing else.
Stunned, the dagger collided with the stone, but it only grazed the edge of the stone, and then accelerated sharply, shooting at Xia Qingyang's eyebrows again.
"What a persistent woman. Xia Qingyang didn't know that this was a female assassin at this time, he shook his body lightly and fell to the ground, and the dagger was inserted into his shoulder.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Come on, Brother is injured!" Yin Sheng saw the battle in a fog, but he really saw the situation of Xia Qingyang falling, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him and shouted for help.
At this time, Qian Muyong led all the masters to the front, and stared at the lake for a long time before Shi Shiran walked in front of Xia Qingyang and asked coldly, "Can you see who that person is?"
Yin Sheng said with a bitter face: "It's important to save people first." ”
"Shut up, did I let you speak?" Qian Muyong's face was gloomy, and he continued to look at Xia Qingyang and said, "I didn't expect you to have some kung fu." ”
Xia Qingyang didn't bother to pay attention to him, but thinking about it, he had to help Yin Sheng, so he said: "I used to learn a few sets of fist and foot kung fu from the master in the town. ”
Qian Muyong snorted: "Don't pretend to be modest, I can't see it with my eyesight? It's a few moments, otherwise with that assassin's skills, you would have been killed." ”
At this time, Sha Yunjiao and others also came over, seeing that Xia Qingyang was injured, they hurriedly called the doctor who accompanied the team to come over, under the control of Xia Qingyang, the dagger stopped when it entered the flesh, and it did not hurt the muscles and bones, but only shed a little blood, and the doctor dealt with it after dividing five by two.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Sha Wanjiao, she was asking Yin Sheng, no matter how honest Yin Sheng was, he was also a martial artist of the Sha family.
Yin Sheng was hesitant and couldn't say why, not because he wasn't good at words this time, but because he really didn't see it clearly.
Xia Qingyang had no choice but to say: "I don't know, Fang just talked to Yin Sheng by the lake, and the man suddenly came out of the lake, so scared that I fell aside, fortunately Yin Sheng reacted quickly and attacked him with stones, and Captain Qian They also rushed over, so the assassin was scared away." ”
Fang Cai didn't see everything clearly except for him, so there was no way to question it, but it was a little strange why the assassin would choose to shoot at a guy, but thinking about the vigilance in other directions, only the defense on the lake side was slightly weaker, and it was reasonable for the assassin to choose this direction to break through, but unfortunately he encountered Yin Sheng and exposed his hiding that led to the failure of the operation.
After this, the atmosphere in the team became tense, and the most nervous was Yin Sheng, who feared that the assassin would come to take revenge on him, but he was also a little excited, because the eldest lady praised him for this.
