Su Bairen and Shi Ziling left Nangong Xia's room and immediately mobilized their manpower, and even the men and horses of the general battalion used to defend the government in the city garrison were mobilized. In addition to the martial law in the whole city, let all the people immediately launch a city-wide search in order to find these assassins as soon as possible.

For a time, the lights in Songhu City were bright, and people from all walks of life launched a rigorous search almost door-to-door.

Ku Mingzi returned to Huilongguan, and he always felt as if someone was following him along the way, but he repeatedly stopped to observe, but he didn't find anything. His internal injuries gradually attacked, and he couldn't support it anymore, although he knew in his heart that it was wrong, he could only return to Longguan first.

The defenders outside were conducting a big search, but the inside of Huilongguan was still deserted, and it was no different from usual.

Kong Mingzi staggered into his room, changed out of his night clothes and hid it, inserted the long sword in his hand into a black cane with the scabbard, and was about to put the cane under the bed, looking for some medicine to treat internal injuries, when suddenly someone knocked lightly three times outside the window.

Kong Mingzi was startled and hurriedly held the cane in his hand.

The person outside the window waited for a moment, and then knocked lightly on the window three times, Kong Mingzi pretended to have just woken up, yawned and said, "Who, come to the old Taoist priest so late?

The person outside the window whispered: "I can't see it, I can't hear it, I can't fight it, I have no form and no object, it's dark." ”

This is the code word used by Kong Mingzi when he contacted the contact person in Songhu City, although this voice is very unfamiliar, but since he knows the secret language of the Dao, it must be someone who has a connection with their "dark way".

Ku Mingzi hesitated, but still lit the oil lamp in the room and went to open the door, but still held the cane in his hand.

The person who came was a middle-aged man dressed in black and holding a long sword, he closed the door directly after entering the house, and said: "It turns out that the famous 'dark messenger' is actually an old Taoist priest in the Taoist temple, and he is disrespectful. ”

Kong Mingzi said suspiciously: "Who is the donor, why did you come to the old Taoist priest in the middle of the night?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Mingren doesn't say dark words, I am Luo Wentian, the master of this matter." Just now I followed you all the way to see the true face of your 'Dark Emissary', and by the way, to get back the jade pendant I gave you. ”

Kong Mingzi said expressionlessly: "We, the 'Dark Dao', have never met directly with any employers, I don't know what the jade pendant you are talking about, you can directly contact our contact person in Songhu City if you have something." ”

Luo Wentian sneered: "I won't tell you, the liaison has been killed by me, according to our prior agreement, since you can't kill Nangong Xia and can't get the thing on him, I don't want you to return the pass of 100,000 gold coins, but I must get this jade pendant back." The contact person said that the jade pendant has been handed over to you, so please ask the messenger to return the original thing. ”

Kong Mingzi heard that his contact had been killed, and his heart was shocked, he was ** lake, and naturally understood that since the other party had the courage to say it, it must be because he knew that he was seriously injured, and he was afraid that even if he obediently handed over the jade pendant, he would not be able to escape death.

Kong Mingzi secretly operated the true element, only to feel that the pain in the chest and abdomen was unbearable, and the true element was difficult to gather and circulate.

Before they set up an ambush, although Nangong Xia was hit by two crossbow arrows, and was stabbed by Kong Mingzi's sneak attack, but after all, he was the top ten masters in the United States, and his counterattack when he was on the verge of despair was indeed extraordinary, Kong Mingzi was finally slapped hard by him and was seriously injured, so that the credit fell short.

Although the strength of this Luo Wentian in front of him is unknown, Kong Mingzi expects that he is not the opponent of his current ability, and he can't help but feel a little bitter in his heart. Unexpectedly, he has been in the world for decades, and countless masters have died in his own hands, but recently he will miss two orders of business in a row.

Now he is threatened by an unknown person, which is really unpredictable!

Kong Mingzi smiled bitterly and said, "Since the donor said so, the old Taoist priest can only obey his fate." As he spoke, he put his hand into his arms and took out a simple jade pendant.

Luo Wentian had already drawn his sword when Kong Mingzi's hand was stretched into his arms, for fear that he would make trouble. After all, the other party is the famous "Dark Emissary", and he is the first-class assassin in the world. Although Luo Wentian had determined that Kong Mingzi was seriously injured, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Kong Mingzi took out the jade pendant and raised it slightly, and said, "But this thing?"

At this time, although there was a small oil lamp in the house, but after all, it was not very real, Luo Wentian was about to take the jade pendant to take a closer look, Kong Mingzi suddenly raised his hand, threw the jade pendant to the roof, and then pulled it up, broke out of the window, and fled out.

The man in black, Luo Wentian, didn't care about chasing Kong Mingzi, so he hurriedly jumped up to grab the jade pendant first, and when the jade pendant arrived, Kong Mingzi had already escaped through the window.

Luo Wentian spent a huge amount of money to buy the killer of the Dark Way to kill Nangong Xia this time, and seized one of the things on his body, which was very important and could not be lost, but he didn't expect Nangong Xia to escape into the city guard's mansion. Although he looks badly injured, it is difficult to say whether he will die or not.

However, even if Nangong Xia died, the thing on his body would not be able to get it for a while. More importantly, this matter is a big secret, and since it is not successful, it must not be known and spread.

Therefore, Luo Wentian made up his mind that he had to kill the empty Mingzi, even if he offended the "Dark Way" because of this, he did not hesitate to do so. After he put away the jade pendant, he followed through the window and chased after Kong Mingzi, expecting that he was seriously injured and should not be able to escape far.

Kong Mingzi reluctantly lifted Yun Zhenyuan and fled through the window, knowing that it would not be long before the other party would chase and kill, so he had to endure the pain and run to a bamboo forest not far behind Huilongguan, which was still quite dense, maybe he could hide and make plans again.

He knew that this was a life-and-death situation, gritted his teeth and finally ran to the front of the bamboo forest after a wild run, but at this time he felt that it was difficult to support it, and he reluctantly struggled into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Luo Wentian said coldly: "Old Taoist, although you are cunning, you still can't escape death after all, let me surpass you today." ”

Kong Mingzi had an internal injury at this time, and he was no longer able to gather the true yuan, even if the opponent did not chase after him, the chance of survival was not great. At this time, seeing that the enemy was chasing after him, he knew that he would definitely die, but he calmly got up and asked: "I have returned the jade pendant to you, why should you force each other hard, are you not afraid of the retaliation of our 'Dark Way' people?"

Luo Wentian said: "Of course I'm afraid, you originally refused to accept my business, until I took out this jade pendant as collateral and reluctantly agreed." ”

"Since you are willing to accept my jade pendant as collateral, it means that you know the purpose of this jade pendant. There is no way to do it, even if I will be retaliated against by your 'Dark Path', I will have to kill you. ”

"However, your business is so secretive, except for that contact, no one may know that the person who bought and killed Nangong Xia this time is me. Now that contact is dead, and so are the killers, as long as you're dead, maybe no one will know my secret anymore. ”

Kong Mingzi sneered: "You can't help but underestimate our 'Dark Dao' people, our sect leader has great powers, and one day he will be able to find out the truth of the matter." In fact, if I hadn't been slapped by Nangong Xia and suffered internal injuries, how could you, the remnant of the Huang Ting faction, be my opponent?"

Luo Wentian said with a smile: "Okay, sure enough, I am worthy of being one of the three messengers of the 'Dark Dao', and I actually guessed my identity with just a piece of jade pendant." But I'm not afraid to tell you, this time I am determined to win, even if you can kill Nangong Xia, I will still have a way to deal with you. What do you see what this is?"

Saying that, Luo Wentian took out a cylinder from his arms and raised it towards Kong Mingzi.

Although it was dim in the bamboo forest, with the moonlight faintly transmitting in, Kong Mingzi could still see the cylinder in the hand of the man in black at a glance, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "It turned out to be the 'Shadowless Rainstorm Needle', I didn't expect you to have one too." It seems that you have been planning for a long time this time, and you have already thought about destroying us, and you really have no last resort. ”

"Very good, I, Kong Mingzi, have killed countless people in my life, and it is also fate to die in the depths of this bamboo forest today. But I also advise the donor, even if you take the jade pendant to the Jade Buddha Temple in exchange for a diagram, you have always heard of it, but I am afraid that you will not be able to keep that illustration for how long. ”

"Besides, although the 'Shadowless Rainstorm Needle' in your hand is extremely powerful, it is not useful for everyone, do you really think that you can rely on it to save your life? ”

"Well, you won't understand these things either, you can do it. This bamboo forest is not far from the Taoist temple, it is a quiet and peaceful treasure land, and the old Taoist priest can die here without regrets. ”

After Ku Mingzi finished speaking, she calmly closed her eyes and died.

Luo Wentian smiled cruelly: "The stinky Taoist priest still wants to intimidate me when he dies, but this 'Shadowless Rainstorm Needle' cost me most of my net worth and property in exchange, I don't believe that anyone can hide." Nangong Xia was seriously injured, and I will be able to get my hands on the illustration on him sooner or later, but unfortunately you can't see it. As he spoke, he stabbed his sword straight into Akiko's throat.

Kong Mingzi knew that he would die, so he simply didn't dodge or dodge, and let his long sword stab him.

At this moment, a silver coin flew far away and hit Luo Wentian's wrist.

Luo Wentian's wrist was in severe pain, and the long sword fell to the ground, and at the same time, a figure rushed over. Before the person arrived, a magic voice had exploded in Luo Wentian's ears: "Pestle-"

Luo Wentian only felt a sharp pain at the root of his ear, as if thousands of thin needles were pierced into his brain at the same time. The man's film was close in the moment, and where his hand started, the three forces of the triple fist shadow attacked the man in black at the same time.

Luo Wentian was shocked, and hurriedly unfolded his master's mastery to parry, and at the same time staggered to the left, but unexpectedly, the fist shadow scattered, and the triple strength just now suddenly disappeared without a trace, and where his figure was dodging, an iron fist hit the chest with a strong force.

Luo Wentian couldn't dodge, he was hit by an iron fist and flew out, his body broke several rows of bamboo one after another, and he fell heavily to the ground after letting out a terrible scream, and immediately died of all his internal organs.

Kong Mingzi heard the voice, and when he opened his eyes, the man in black had fallen to the ground and died, and saw a person standing in front of him, but it was Shi Ziling.

Kong Mingzi smiled and said: "Who is my Dao, in a moment, I cleaned up a master of the Huang Ting Sect, and it turned out to be the Shi Shi Master." The 'Extraterrestrial Demon Sound' magic skill that the donor used just now was only sent to that person alone, but I was not affected in the slightest, so it can be seen that your 'Soul Dementor**' has at least reached the eighth layer of the realm." ”

"And the true yuan of the donor is even more powerful and incredible, and it is really strange that the donor has such attainments at such an age. The old Taoist priest can die at the hands of the donor, he is really convinced. ”
