Chapter Seven: The Shadow Stream
When the three of them came to Fengyue Tower, they were already brightly lit. Fengyue Tower is brilliantly lit, and tonight is a little more lively than the previous days, because today is the day when everyone sings in person, the top brand of Fengyue Tower.
"Three sons, please upstairs!"
As soon as the three of them entered the hall on the first floor of Fengyue Building, ** stepped forward to greet them warmly. Because Xiao Yao and the three of them are frequent visitors here, and they are very generous every time.
Xiao Yao and the others came to the second floor and found a private seat by the window to sit down.
"Huh, isn't that Xiao Lengzi of the Xiao family? I heard that he was seriously injured by Qin Yang a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be healed so soon?"
As soon as a few people sat down, they heard someone next to them pointing at Xiao Yao and discussing. Zhan Ying saw that someone was talking about Xiao Yao, slapped the table, stood up, and was about to step forward to teach those people a lesson.
Xiao Yao grabbed him and said disapprerovingly, "Let them go." ”
"Look! Snow is out!"
At this moment, a slender woman walked out from the third floor. Holding a guqin in his hand, he walked down the stairs. Came to the center of the second floor and sat down behind a screen. Although she wears a veil, you can't really see her face. But her temperament that does not eat the fireworks of the world is a very beautiful person. She put the guqin on her lap, stretched out her slender fingers, and plucked the strings a few times.
The sound of the piano is melodious and melodious. Fengyue Tower, which was still noisy just now, suddenly quieted down. She cleared her throat, and her lips opened slightly:
"On the banks of the Yishui River, there are many sorrows ......"
Her voice was like a heavenly sound, as if there was a kind of magic, and the entire people of Fengyue Tower were deeply immersed in it, as if they were fascinated. Even Zhanying and Wang Wen on the side kept shaking their heads and indulging in it. Only Xiao Yao looked abnormal, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and drank slowly.
Suddenly, he felt the sound of Xue Qianyue behind the screen. Although this pause was extremely short, it was still captured by Xiao Yao.
"Lang wants to leave, tears flow, and he wants to talk and rest......"
The magic contained in the song seemed to be a little stronger, and the sound drifted in from his ears, as if it was about to invade his sea of consciousness. Xiao Yao's brows furrowed slightly, and Zhihai trembled, and the song was dispersed.
Hehe, interesting. I didn't expect that in a small Fengyue Building, there were all people who cultivated the truth of music and dancers. What is a musician and dancer? Vocal music against the enemy, dancing to kill, this is a musician and dancer!
At the end of the song, everyone who was intoxicated by the song slowly woke up. Immediately afterwards, everyone applauded, and some people took out yuan stones to reward.
Xiao Yao also took out a low-grade Yuan stone and put it in the maid's jade plate.
"Give me a word to everyone in the snow: five tones are not musical, the illusion is a hundred turns, the magic sound is thousands, and the dance rhyme is natural!"
The maid put away the yuan stone and turned behind the screen. Xiao Yao picked up the wine glass in his hand, poured vitality into the wine glass, and suddenly threw it out of the window, and the wine glass shot out of the window.
"It's windy outside, so I'm warming up with a glass of wine. ”
On the branch outside the window, a white-robed young man with a sword on his back was standing. He grabbed the glass, which was not spilled. He looked up and drank from his toast and muttered, "Interesting." ”
A white shadow flickered, and the branches were empty.
Zhanying leaned on the windowsill and looked around. Turning his head to Xiao Yao and complaining: "Xiao Lengzi, there is no one outside, what kind of nerves are you having! That wine glass is made of agate, and it is a low-grade Yuan stone." Even if I had a treat today, I wouldn't have to slaughter me like this. ”
He took out a low-grade Yuan Stone from his arms, handed it to the guards who ran over, and glanced at Xiao Yao with resentment.
Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, and got up to leave. Just as he turned to go downstairs, a look of surprise flashed behind the screen.
When I walked to the door, the wind was raging in the sky, thunder and lightning were roaring, and suddenly it was pouring rain.
"You guys go first, I still have something to do when I go to Qin's house. ”
Zhanying said goodbye to the two. Of course, Xiao Yao knew what Zhanying was going to do, and he shook his head helplessly. On the way halfway, Wang Wen also said goodbye to Xiao Yao, leaving Xiao Yao alone on the way home.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no figure in sight on the street. Xiao Yao turned an alley and suddenly stopped.
There is a murderous aura!
He frowned, and said to a dark corner:
"You've been with me for so long, come out!"
"I didn't expect that a small cultivator of the Casting Realm would be able to discover my whereabouts. ”
A figure walked out of the corner, wrapped in a black robe, and the aura of cultivation on his body loomed, if it weren't for the murderous aura he had exposed just now, it would have been difficult for Xiao Yao to find him in such a stormy night.
"Such a good concealment kung fu, you are a trickster's 'shadow stream'. ”
"What a trickster, what a shadow, I don't know what nonsense you're talking about!"
Hearing the words 'Trickster Shadow Stream', the tone of the man in black became a little uncomfortable. Seeing his appearance, Xiao Yao confirmed his guess in his heart.
I don't know why you, a fifth-fold Shadow Stream of the Casting Realm, came to Yishui City to assassinate a little cultivator of the Casting Realm!"
Xiao Yao stared at the shadow stream of the trickster, his face a little solemn. The Trickster is actually an organization of assassins. These assassins, known as "Shadow Stream". As long as they accept the assassination mission, they will do everything they can to complete the mission. Even if the target escapes to the ends of the earth, they will chase after them. If you don't kill your target, you won't give up.
"I'm curious who hired you to kill me. And I can pay double the price, let me go, and kill him!"
Facing a shadow stream four small realms higher than himself, Xiao Yao was not sure that he would be able to retreat with his whole body.
"Now that you know who I am, you should know the rules of our profession as well. Don't you think it's ridiculous to want to know the identity of your employer from me?"
The man in black laughed: "But you can pay double the price, and after I kill you, I will kill the person who hired me to kill you!"
Xiao Yao knew that he couldn't be good, so he raised his vitality and stared at the shadow stream vigilantly. The shadow stream stopped talking nonsense, and his figure flashed and shot towards him.
His figure was much faster than Zhan Ying, and he came to Xiao Yao in an instant. A cold light flashed in his sleeve, and a sharp dagger stabbed towards Xiao Yao's chest.
Xiao Yao didn't dare to be careless, and turned sideways, which was able to dodge the fatal blow.
"Red Flame Palm!"
A palm with a scorching breath slapped back.
As soon as the palm missed, the shadow stream had already retreated into the distance. The light in his sleeve flickered, and he was preparing for his next attack.
One hit misses, and it is thousands of miles away. This is the essence of the Shadow Stream's attacks, and they will never fight you to the death. Looking at the cautious appearance of the shadow stream, Xiao Yao's heart sank.
This is troublesome, this shadow stream is very cautious. Even if his cultivation is much higher than his own, he doesn't fight with himself. If he fights with himself closely, he may be able to deal with him by relying on his strengthened physical body with the "Heart Eye of Strength". Now it seems that the chances of his escape are very slim.
"Whew!"
A sound of breaking the air came quickly.
When Xiao Yao reacted, the sharp dagger was already within reach. He didn't have time to think about it, and his body flew back wildly. The shadow stream did not give up, and the dagger was still close to Xiao Yao's chest. Even though Xiao Yao's speed has been raised to the extreme, it is still a few points slower than that shadow stream. Seeing that the tip of the dagger was already close to his chest, Xiao Yao was horrified.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking the air came to mind. A white light burst out of the night, shooting towards the shadowstream. Under the light of thunder and lightning, Xiao Yao saw the appearance of the white light clearly, which turned out to be a three-foot long sword.
Seeing the long sword coming towards him, if he insisted on inserting the dagger into Xiao Yao's chest, then the long sword would also pierce the back of his heart mercilessly.
He can't kill Xiao Yao today, and next time he has a chance, he doesn't want to accompany his life. Immediately put away the dagger, and the figure retreated sharply to the side.
He retreated into the distance, secretly crying out that it was dangerous. However, as soon as he stabilized his body, the long sword turned around and flew towards him again, as if it had eyes. The speed of the long sword has far exceeded his speed. He had no time to avoid it, and looked at the longsword in horror.
"Poof!"
The sword sinked into his body, piercing through the heart of the shadowstreamer. There was not a trace of blood on the sword, and it flew into the night again, and disappeared.
The Shadowstream went limp and fell to the ground, no longer breathing, but he still had a frightened expression on his face.
"Hundred Steps Flying Sword!"
Xiao Yao looked at the long sword that had disappeared into the night, and secretly exclaimed in his heart.
"The road is slippery in the rain, I'll give you a ride. Next time you invite me to drink, remember to use a big bowl, the glass is too small!"
The voice of a young man came from the darkness of the night, farther and farther away.
Xiao Yao stared at the dark night ahead, and the solemnity in his eyes became a little stronger.
The "chic flying sword qi is horizontal, and the uninhibited and crazy sword momentum is vertical" also appeared in Yishui City, what will happen in Yishui City!
With a full stomach full of thoughts, he walked towards home.
