Chapter 7: Red on the Snow Seven

A dozen red knights in crimson armor walked slowly and heavily out of the alley.

Each of their faces was buried in the shadow of their iron helmets, and each of them was silent with his hands on the hilt of his sword at his waist, and no sound could be heard except for the muffled sound of his military boots on the ground.

The leader of the Red Cavalry was very young, and he looked at the young assassin with some appreciation, some surprise, and some regret.

The reason for his admiration was that it was not until the moment the Assassin walked out of the main gate that he was sure that this person must have expected that the Red Cavalry Guards around the Li Mansion had been alarmed, and if he chose to use his body to cross the wall, he would definitely become a target for the crossbow through the throat. Except for those Void Transformation Realm cultivators who were able to fly in the air, ordinary cultivators, no matter how agile their movements were, could not dodge the shot of crossbow arrows when they were stagnant in mid-air.

The reason for the surprise is the youth and ignorance of this person. Although the female assassin covered her face with a black scarf, it could be seen from her eyebrows and eyes that this person was probably just a young girl who was not out of her twenties, and when she committed such a major crime, she let others know her gender and age, which only showed that this girl was a crappy novice.

The last regret is that he has always been merciful, but tonight this young and beautiful female assassin has only two options: capture or die, which makes him feel a little pity.

Below the void, no one could escape from a team of fully formed red horsemen, especially in this Xuanyang City. He was so confident that he didn't send a signal to Xuanyang Mansion or the surrounding Red Cavalry.

When he heard the screams in the palace, he was already sure that the famous squire of the Criminal Department would probably not be able to see the sun tomorrow morning. But it didn't matter to him, Xuanyang City had been quiet for too long, and he and his subordinates needed a chance.

If Li Yanfeng didn't die, they wouldn't have this opportunity.

The dragon in the cloud looked at the assassin's face and smiled slightly.

At the moment when the corners of his mouth curved an arc, a slight sound of breaking the sky suddenly sounded in the night sky that had been silent.

Ye Qingxue saw the smile of the Red Cavalry General, and also heard the sound of those arrows passing through the night sky, and felt the cold killing intent in the air.

The pair of willow-like pale eyebrows frowned slightly, and dozens of arrows with cold light had already appeared within sight.

The tip of the knife was raised and swung down, turning into a shiny circle around her.

Dingdingding......

After a dense thud, the bolts, each deadly, broke or missed, landing on the ground beside her.

Seeing such a clean and neat knife technique, Yun Zhonglong couldn't help but clap his palms, and laughed loudly: "Good knife technique, it seems that it is not easy to catch you." ”

He paused, his face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Then I can only choose to kill you, and a dead assassin is a good assassin." ”

With a slight wave of his hand, the Red Knight Clan, whose expressions were resolute and indifferent, drew the knives at their waists in unison, and the light of the knives swayed in the dark alleys, making people dizzy.

The gentle night breeze swirled between the leaves and stone pillars in front of the Shilang's mansion, and one person faced a group of people, all waiting for the other to make the first move.

Ye Qingxue didn't wait any longer, because she understood that if she waited a little longer, the danger would be greater.

So she moved first.

At the moment when she moved her steps, the Red Knight guards who had been silent for a long time and had been watching her for a long time also moved.

A red whirlwind blew in front of the squire's mansion.

At the very front of that whirlwind, a red cavalry sergeant with a cold face roared wildly, jumped high with a knife in both hands, and the blade slashed towards the top of Ye Qingxue's head with the momentum of wind and thunder.

There was no Assassin's delicate body in his eyes, as if there was only a cold stone there.

Then he stopped in mid-air.

The Red Cavalry sergeant who rushed to the front of the line was obviously not the kind of great cultivator who could fly through the air, and he had only been able to stand still in mid-air for such a short moment because he had been met with great resistance.

A long knife sliced through his armor and skin, stabbing deep into his flesh, deep into his lower abdomen, and out of the back of his waist.

Blood poured out of the blade and dripped to the ground.

The sergeant did not close his eyes until after he died, and quickly fell to the ground, Ye Qingxue drew his long knife, and with a flip of his wrist, the blade met the second knife that came from the left.

Ye Qingxue is not good at knives, but her knife is very fast, cutting through the night, and after slashing at the blade standing on the left, it slashes directly into the neck of the knife wielder.

The man's head flew up and was thrown far away.

It's a very cruel picture, but the person who painted it is a young girl in the prime of her cardamom years. She doesn't like to kill, but when she has to kill someone, she doesn't hesitate anymore.

As soon as they met, the two people died, and this was only a very brief incident.

The Red Cavalry is known as one of the most elite ground warfare troops in Great Xia, and of course it will not stop its progress because of the death of two of its companions. These soldiers in crimson armor have no companions in their eyes when facing the enemy, only the enemy.

Before the sword could be exhausted, several more people rushed forward.

So the long knife turned slightly, slashing forward, every inch of the long distance, there will be a few blood flowers, those red armor that seems to be unbreakable in the eyes of ordinary people, in front of the long blade in the girl's hand, it is like water tofu, losing the meaning of defense.

More often than not, the long knives were slashed or stabbed at the parts of the Red Cavalry sergeants' bodies that were not protected by armor, which would have saved some effort.

In the second round, five more people died.

None of them fell from their injuries, and the eyes of those who lay on the ground were forever lifeless.

Perhaps there was some fear of the young assassin's skills, and the rest of the people seemed to hesitate when they swung their knives again.

When the sound of breaking the air came again, Ye Qingxue knew that it was not really hesitation, but that she didn't want to be accidentally injured by the crossbow arrows shot from a distance and began to become cautious.

Although the crossbow is very powerful, it takes some time to load the crossbow on the crossbow body, so it is not possible to shoot continuously like a bow and arrow. The Angry Ones who hid in the shadows, their hands groping in the darkness, kept their eyes fixed on the skilful Assassin, looking for every gap they could exploit.

When her knife plunged into the body of one of the Red Cavalry sergeants again, eight crossbow arrows were fired from different directions, seemingly blocking all her retreats.

The dragon laughed, believing that the assassin's body would be pierced by a crossbow arrow in the next moment.

The imaginary thing did not appear, because a dazzling streamer roared,

At the moment when it seemed that there was no way to retreat, Ye Qingxue's left hand, which had been empty, moved, and the streamer suddenly appeared, knocking away all the incoming crossbow arrows.

The dragon in the cloud narrowed his eyes, because he saw that it was a small dagger.

Cultivators of the Distraction Realm!

At the same time as he sighed silently in his heart, the Red Cavalry, who had been silent, also drew his sword.

The dagger flying at high speed in the air did not stop after shooting down the crossbow arrow, but broke through the air and pierced into the darkness under the stunned gaze of everyone.

The dragon in the cloud turned pale, and the dark path was not good.

In an instant, he finally understood why he had always found the Assassin's actions to seem strange.

She exposed herself to the open space in front of the Squire's Mansion in order to identify the angry sergeants who were hiding in the shadows!

There were a few faint noises in the darkness, as if someone had fallen to the ground.

The next moment, the streamer turned around and fell into Ye Qingxue's hands, and before everyone around her came back to her senses, her body moved, and the whole person jumped high.

A fresh breeze blew, and the delicate figure had disappeared into the vast night.

That night, Li Yanfeng, the servant of the Criminal Department, died in his own mansion, and the Red Cavalry guards guarding around the Li Mansion were killed, and the assassins fled unharmed.

This is the version of the story that was later passed down by word of mouth, and no one knows what happened after the Assassin left.

Except for a teenager and a teenage girl.
