Chapter 23: Assassination
In the dead of night, Zhou Qian was still sitting quietly in his residence, carrying out his daily routine cultivation, but what he didn't notice was that a few uninvited guests outside his house came uninvited.
Outside the house, several masked black-clothed men quietly came to Zhou Qian's residence, and the leader nodded to the others. Then, the two kicked open the door and rushed towards Zhou Gan.
Zhou Qian woke up suddenly and hurriedly dodged to the side. "Who are you?" Zhou Qian hurriedly shouted.
Naturally, the masked man did not answer him, but still attacked him quickly.
Zhou Qian dodged sideways, and hurriedly grabbed the long sword in the room and hurriedly defended.
The two people outside the house also hurriedly rushed into the house and attacked Zhou Qian.
Zhou Qian hurriedly dodged, and then stabbed out with a sword. Zhou Qian was defending against the attack of the four on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was analyzing who these people were. Under his perception, the four of them are all the strength of the foundation building period, and none of them are his opponents when they fight alone, but they are not invincible when they join forces. Fortunately, these four people are not good at fighting together, and they do not cooperate tacitly, otherwise they would have been injured, but even so, the situation is not optimistic.
Zhou Qian dodged a sneak attack by a man in black, and stabbed the man in black behind him with a sword. The man behind him also stabbed with a sword, and the two swords intersected, and the strength of the man in black was inferior to him after all, and he was shocked and retreated. Zhou Qian was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and a person on the left hurriedly attacked. Zhou Qian's horizontal sword blocked the opponent's attack, and struck the opponent with a sword that broke through the stone palm. The other party waved his palm, and his palm was red, as if a flame was burning.
The palms intersected, and the man took a few steps back. And there was a feeling of being burned in Zhou Qian's palm.
"Flame Palm. Zhou Qian recognized the other party's tricks, and then there was a shock in his heart. This is Wang Yan's trick, and this person actually used it casually. Zhou Qian fought with Wang Yan and was quite impressed by that move. And Wang Yan is the strength of the peak of the foundation building period, and this person is similar, is he Wang Yan?
This thought flashed in Zhou Qian's heart, and then he shook his head, the palm technique that burned like a flame was so much martial art in the world that it could not be concluded that it was the Flame Palm. Besides, his relationship with Wang Yan should not be to the point of killing someone, so who is this person? Could it be someone from the Demon Spirit Sect? But the people of the Demon Spirit Sect have already left, and besides, the Demon Spirit Sect will not run to the territory of the Martial Spirit Sect to assassinate one of his small disciples. How can he make the Demon Spirit Sect take such a big risk.
Zhou Qian shook his head, ruling out these thoughts, the most important thing at the moment is to save his life under the siege of these four people, and then report it to the master to deal with. As long as you hold on for a while, you must be able to alarm others, and then you will be safe. At that moment, Zhou Qian immediately exerted a tight defense and focused on protecting himself.
The four men in black were quite anxious when they saw that they couldn't break through his defenses. The leader glanced at one of them, and the man hurriedly attacked Zhou Gan, completely ignoring his own flaws, while the other three attacked Zhou Qian with all their might. Zhou Gan stabbed out with a sword, and was blocked by the long sword of the man in black, and a cracking stone fist hit the man in the chest, and the man spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
The other three long swords stabbed from three different directions, Zhou Qian hurriedly turned around to resist, the long sword blocked the next sword, his body turned sideways to dodge, and narrowly dodged the second sword, but the third sword stabbed on his arm, and the blood flowed for a while. If he hadn't cultivated the barren stone body, he would probably have pierced his arm in an instant.
Seeing that Zhou Qian was injured, the other two also hurriedly attacked, and Zhou Qian was forced to hurry for a while, and they all fell behind.
The man who was seriously injured by Zhou Qian saw that Zhou Qian was entangled, and quickly stood up and turned around to leave. Zhou Gan's palm was not light, he was seriously injured, and he was almost about to lose his combat effectiveness. Zhou Qian has been injured, and the remaining three people are already in the upper hand, so it's better to leave by yourself, otherwise even if you stay, it will be a burden, but it will affect others.
Zhou Qian watched the man escape, but he was helpless. Now that he is wounded, although the other party has gone alone, the attack of those three people is also extremely fierce, and he has to deal with it well.
The battle has been going on for more than ten minutes, and if you hold on for a while, I am afraid that someone will hear the sound of fighting, and it will be difficult for these three people to get out at that time. Zhou Qian knew this, and the three of them also understood it.
Seeing that Zhou Qian was still struggling to insist, the three of them hurriedly flashed. The two of them hurriedly attacked with palms in their swords, and Zhou Qian resisted to the death. The third person's long sword immediately slashed, and Zhou Qian narrowly avoided it, but the man's palm print couldn't dodge it, and was hit hard by that person. At the same time that Zhou Qian was hit, he also kicked out and kicked at the man. Both spat out mouthfuls of blood.
The remaining two hurriedly attacked again, Zhou Qian blocked one person, one palm and the other person's palm print collided hard, and both of them took a few steps back. The first person rushed over and slapped Zhou Gan's chest, and Zhou Qian immediately punched out and smashed on the man. The man also spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Zhou Gan's chest burned as if it had been burned by flames. Right now, Zhou Qian was hit by a sword and two palms, and the injury was not light, and the wound on his left arm was still bleeding. Zhou Qian gasped heavily, looking at the three people in front of him with a solemn face.
The situation of the three of them is not very good, although Zhou Qian has been injured, his own strength is much higher than them, if it weren't for their strength, he would have been defeated. At this moment, among the original four people, one person fled with serious injuries, two were injured, although there was still an intact person, but the person who fought alone was not Zhou Qian's opponent, and the combat effectiveness that the other two could exert at this time was also quite limited. Besides, the most important thing is that someone here is going out at any time, and there is such a big movement here, I am afraid that if it continues, it will be discovered. He came to stab Zhou Gan, and he came in black clothes with his face covered, and was discovered by others, no matter what background he had, there was no good fruit to eat.
The three of them figured this out, and quickly turned around and ran.
Seeing this, Zhou Qian hurriedly shouted: "Where to go." Zhou Qian hurriedly chased after him regardless of his injuries. If you don't figure it out, how will you survive in the Martial Spirit Sect in the future. Zhou Qian chased after him, tore off a piece of clothing, and hastily bandaged the wound.
The three of them fled steadily towards the west, with Zhou Qian following closely behind. The four of them chased and fled to an empty wasteland, where there were no figures. I saw a huge stone tablet standing in the center of the wasteland, and the stone tablet had a fiery red word "forbidden" written on it.
The three people in front glanced at the stele, nodded, and immediately rushed in.
Zhou Qian stopped and muttered to himself: "These guys have entered the forbidden land, do they chase after them?" After thinking for a while, he decided that it would be better not to go in, trespassing on the forbidden land is a big crime, and there is no good fruit to eat if he is caught.
Seeing that Zhou Qian didn't come in, the three people in front hurriedly attacked Zhou Gan. Tricks want to put people to death.
Zhou Qian was furious: "If you don't catch these guys, I will not give up." He hurriedly fought with the three of them.
Seeing this, the three of them hurriedly rushed into the forbidden place. This time, Zhou Qian was aroused into anger, and chased after him without the slightest hesitation.
