Shadows can only exist in the dark. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info can't see the light, and it is always the opposite of the light.

......

......

Outside the city of Jiangdu, an unpretentious courtyard is located in a mountain stream. The vermilion color has long been corroded by time, and the mottled gate tells the story of ancient times. Such a desolate courtyard is actually an annex of the Qiao family, the first family in Jiangdu City, and the dilapidated exterior wall is just to hide people's eyes.

In the courtyard, ten black shadows stood together in two columns. The dark night clothes hid the whole person in the night, and the ten people stood there silently, as if they didn't exist at all.

"Kageichi, how long have you been with me?" A middle-aged man stood in front of the group, looking at the moonless night sky with his back to them, as if talking to himself.

The eyes of the first person in the vertical row on the left under the black scarf showed a trace of doubt, and he replied quietly.

"Master, it's been exactly ten years since tonight. ”

"Oh, it's been ten years!

The middle-aged man turned around as if reminiscing, staring at the ten black shadows in front of him. They are all orphans, with nothing to worry about, and they are also the most elite shadows of the Qiao family, the shadows hidden behind their masters.

The shadow, he exists, because the ontology exists. The shadow, he doesn't exist at all, because even if it disappears, another person will fill it.

"Ten years ago, I took you in, and in ten years, you have done a lot for me. After tonight, there is no debt to each other. ”

The middle-aged man stroked his long beard with some emotion, looking reluctant in this moonless night.

When everyone heard this, they were stunned. Then he immediately knelt down and said in unison.

"I would like to stay in Qiao's Mansion for the rest of my life. ”

"Haha, it doesn't have to be that way. It's been ten years, how many decades are there in your life? Although your lives were saved by the Qiao family, ten years of time have paid off everything. After this night, you will be free, and you will no longer be a shadow without a name. It's people who live in the sun!"

The temptation in the middle-aged man's words made the shadows that had been living in the dark for ten years come alive, and their breathing became fluctuating. It was slight, but the middle-aged man still sensed it.

No one wants to live in darkness all their lives, especially shadows, they are more eager to live in the sun.

"In this box is a pearl from the East China Sea worth a thousand taels of gold, after completing the task tonight, you are no longer the shadow of the Qiao family, you can leave on your own." ”

Everyone didn't believe it at first, and then they felt incredible, and now they saw Steward Qiao take out a box of money, and they were suffocated. There are a total of ten pearls in the box, divided into ten people, exactly one for each person. A pearl is worth a hundred taels of gold, and ordinary people will never see it in their lifetime! This money is enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

Shadow Two to Shadow Nineteen turned their heads to look at Shadow One, Shadow One was their leader and the most trusted person by the head of the family. They seemed to want to be sure of the shadow.

However, Keichi didn't speak. He was also shocked, he knew the goal of tonight's mission. But after gathering everyone to the Qiao family's courtyard, he saw Steward Qiao, and he didn't know if what Steward Qiao said was true.

"What, don't you want to leave?" Steward Qiao curled the corners of his mouth and stared at the ten people with a smile.

Don't want to leave? Fools don't want to leave! Fade away the identity of the shadow, become a new person, and see a new world. It's exciting to think about.

"We're going to finish the task!" the ten men immediately bowed down and shouted in unison.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night of murder. The excitement of the ten people made them out of the level that the shadow should be on weekdays, and they didn't even notice the essence in Steward Qiao's eyes. This is a mistake that would have been impossible for a shadow in the past.

Shadow One took the box and disappeared into the night with everyone.

Seeing that there was no usual calm shadow when walking, Steward Qiao smiled coldly and turned around and left the courtyard.

......

......

In the city lord's mansion of Jiangdu City, ten black shadows quickly entered over the wall. Gently landed on the bluestone floor like a cat's claw, and Shadow raised his hand to signal everyone to hide. Several people hid in the darkness under the corner of the wall for the first time.

"Kageichi, the target for tonight is the city lord?" one of them asked nervously.

When everyone infiltrated the City Lord's Mansion together, they should have guessed it. However, there are always people who are not reconciled. The city lord is a master of the Seven Spirits, and he is only one step away from opening up the Soul Mansion, injecting soul power, and getting the master of the Inner Dan!

This kind of existence can only make them look up, and they dare not covet it at all.

"That's right. Eichi replied coldly.

Everyone shook their faces and knew that today's task was not so simple. This is almost the rhythm of sending to death, even if they are the most elite shadows of the Qiao family, but in the end they are just ordinary people. Even the strongest Shadow One is just a realm of consummation of cohesion, how can it be the opponent of the city lord. The gap is not a star.

Cohesion, in fact, is to refine the body, exercise the muscles of the body, and lay a solid foundation for cultivation, which is not even an entry. However, this is indispensable, because refining the body to hone people's minds, if they can't even endure ten years of body refining, then how can they bear the endless boredom of the endless avenue that is far away.

"But ......"

"Don't worry, the city lord has been seriously injured and is now unconscious, as long as we avoid the soldiers of the city lord's mansion, we will definitely be able to do it. ”

Keichi interrupted the crowd and quickly shared the information with everyone.

If the city lord is well, not to mention that there are only ten shadows of them, even if the person who comes a hundred times more is not the opponent of others. However, since the city lord is now unconscious, the soldiers guarding must be several times as many times as usual.

Hearing Eichi's words, everyone's hearts were a little calmer. As long as it is not a fight with a strong person like the city lord, there is still hope. The strength of ordinary soldiers is only in the initial realm of cohesion, they are the shadow of the elite, and they are naturally stronger than ordinary soldiers.

"Let's go!"

The people moved with the shadow, and the ten people crossed the desolate North Garden like ghosts, and sneaked towards the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

In about a quarter of an hour, several people walked through the corridor leading to the center of the North Garden at a very fast speed. The geographical location of the City Lord's Mansion is kept in mind, and the North Garden is a deserted courtyard. Then there is the location of the lord of the inner courtyard and his family. To the east is the martial arts training ground, and to the west is the servant's dwelling. To the south is the main hall, where guests are received.

"Stop!"

Shadow said in a low voice, something is wrong. Something is very wrong, the North Garden is desolate, and maybe it's nothing without guards. But now they have infiltrated the vicinity of the inner courtyard and have not seen any soldiers, which is too unreasonable.

The circular arch at the end of the cloister has only two flickering lanterns, and there is not a single movement. There was not a trace of insect chirping on the grass and branches around him, it was too quiet and eerie.

"Shadow One?"

"Be careful, everyone, something is wrong!"

Sure enough, as soon as Ying Yi's words fell, a team of lights immediately rose from all directions. Eichi's heart sank, and when he saw such a situation, he didn't know that he was an idiot.

Shadow Yi forcibly calmed down the floating heart, the more times like this, the more he couldn't panic, and if he was upset, he would lose the last chance of success.

After a short time, the encirclement of ten shadows surrounded by the inner and outer three layers moved. At the archway, a group of soldiers slowly dispersed on both sides. A big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist walked in surrounded by several people, it was none other than the lord of Jiangdu City, Long Jianming.

"Tell me who sent you, and leave you a whole corpse. Taki's tone was cold, and he said with absolute confidence.

Hearing this, Ying Yi's face under the black clothes became even more ugly. Obviously, the other party is prepared, and it is not clear whether they are waiting for themselves.

At the same time, he began to analyze the situation of the enemy and me, and the strength of the soldiers around him was in the initial realm of cohesion, and Keichi did not look at it. However, the three squad leaders in front of him were in the realm of consummation of cohesion, the same realm as themselves. What's more, there is also a Taki-Jianming who is two big realms behind.

"Shouldn't Taki Jianming be unconscious? Who is this person standing now?" The shadows around him cast strange glances, doubts, suspicions.

Ying Yi couldn't say that he was bitter, and he was also deceived by Steward Qiao. But he can't explain it, and the current situation doesn't allow him to explain it.

"It seems that you won't say it, kill them all!" The city lord Taki Jianming gave an order, and the surrounding soldiers surrounded him under the leadership of three squads.

The space for shadows is getting smaller and smaller, and it can't be delayed any longer. Once the soldiers' formations were closed, even if Ying Yi gathered his strength to complete the realm, it was impossible to resist in the slightest.

"Brethren, if you don't fight, you won't even have the slightest chance. ”

Shadow snorted coldly, and the hidden weapon in the cuff had already flown out. Suddenly, the soldier on the right-hand side fell down. He didn't dare to delay, drew his long sword and rushed into the crowd, tangling with the three squad leaders.

For a moment, the forces of the City Lord's Mansion immediately surged towards Kageichi's battle group.

The other nine people glanced at each other and understood what each other meant. Don't rush now, wait for when. There is a shadow in front of him that entangles the three squad leaders, and consciously directs the troops to the right to give a few people a chance.

The coordination of shadows is seamless, no words are needed, as long as one person's movements, others know how to cooperate. Shadow One's strength was the strongest, containing the large army, and the remaining nine people immediately formed a three-column platoon, and directly attacked the city lord Taki Jianming in the formation of the Nine Palace Array.

......

"Hmph, you're just concentrating on the Perfection Realm, you won't have a chance!

The three squad leaders surrounded the shadow in the shape of a zigzag, and more soldiers raised their spears to prevent him from getting out.

Indeed, one-on-one alone, Ying Yi is 100% sure of killing a team leader in the Cohesion Perfection Realm. Even against the last two, he is seventy percent sure that he will assassinate the other party, but against the upper three and the three layers of soldiers outside the array, it is basically ten deaths.

"Impossible!"

The shadow looked slightly cold, and with a turn of the sword, two more soldiers fell to the ground. The faces of the three squad leaders trembled, although these were all soldiers who were in the initial realm of cohesion, but they would be distressed if they died! Whoever has the strongest power in his hands will have the right to speak, this is an eternal truth.

The three of them looked at each other and immediately rushed up to stop Keichi.

Eichi slaughtered the soldiers, but the corner of his eye never left the three squad leaders. Just as he was concentrating on the battle, he suddenly ......

Thundered......

A loud bang exploded in the corridor, and the four of them looked back one after another.

"Your Excellency!"

"What?"

Kageichi looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and a beam of skyrocketing fire exploded less than three meters away from the city lord. Before he could think, another wave of air hit him.

Thundered......

There were nine loud noises in a row, and a wave of air rushed to the face. Except for Kageichi and the three squad leaders, the other soldiers were blown to pieces.

"Hurry! Protect your lordship!"

One of the squad leaders shouted to wake everyone up, and the soldiers rushed towards the end of the corridor. The three squad leaders also rushed into the fire at the first time, and for a while, no one took care of Ying Yi.

Is it a shadow that blew itself up? No, it's impossible! How can a soul pill blow itself up without a soul pill? Even the realm of the city lord Taki Jianming can't blow itself up! That's ?......

"It's the pearl of the East China Sea!" Shadow's eyes changed in shock, and the equipment on everyone's mission had been checked by him. The only accident was the ten pearls brought by Steward Joe, one for each person!

"It turns out that the head of the family wants us to die!"

Ying Yi would not suspect Steward Qiao at all, he was just a minion, and he would never dare to do this without the orders of the head of the family.

So, from the very beginning, the head of the house had already decided to let the shadow die. The city lord Taki, who was not seriously injured at all, would not have been able to touch half a hairlash of Taki's sword if he hadn't taken such a suicidal attack with the strength of the shadow.

"But why didn't the pearls on my body explode?" Shadow took out the pearls in confusion and looked at them carefully.

How powerful a pearl the size of a thumb plate, translucent, round, and white and crystal clear can be?

Suddenly, a string of electricity flashed through Kageichi's brain.

"Is it ......?"

......

"Ahem, ahem...... Old, Lao Tzu is still alive, not dead...... Catch him, live him!"

At this time, the chaos at the arch gradually settled down. Because although Taki Jianming was seriously injured, he was still sober, and he was very angry now, what a big deal. In order to kill him, he actually took out the mixed yuan bead.

The Mixed Yuan Bead forcibly seals the spiritual power that cannot be directly inhaled by the fury of heaven and earth in a certain item. Then set to encounter the breath of a certain realm, the seal will be unlocked, and without the seal, the small space cannot accommodate the violent spiritual power, and a powerful explosion will be produced immediately. Each such thing is worth at least a thousand gold.

Sure enough, Eichi squinted, and he had already guessed the origin of this bead for seven or eight points. At this point, Keichi pinched the pearl in his hand between his index and middle fingers.

"You're not dead, I'll give you another one!"

A white streamer shot out, and everyone changed color.

"Protect your lordship!"

Thundered......

The pearl approached three meters from Taki's side, and another burst of fire rose into the sky. The explosion alone shocked more than twenty soldiers who were gathered in front of Taki.

At two o'clock in the morning in the middle of the night, a terrifying roar was transmitted from the palace of the city lord of Jiangdu City.

"Ah!! seal the city for Lao Tzu! search, search! dig three feet into the ground and find out!!"
