Volume 1 Autumn Festival Chapter 8 The Drifter of Xicheng Lane
Qixia Street has returned to its former tranquility.
The investigation of the Huncheng murder case is still ongoing.
The monster Aoyin has been ambushed, but the monk incident in the East Bazaar has not yet been resolved.
Jiang Wang tried to walk around every corner of Qixia Street.
Although I was so tired that I lay on the bed for two days before resting, after various verifications, I also had a deeper understanding of that power.
He realized that his weakness was probably caused by a 'mirage'.
Because he found that the 'mirage' had been on the verge of collapse, it was only by absorbing his life that it was able to stabilize it.
And the Long Night Knife seems to be able to stabilize the 'Mirage' for a little longer.
But this is clearly a palliative rather than a cure.
He had to really become a monk and gain a long lifespan before he could completely stabilize the 'mirage'.
But the process of building the foundation had to endure inhuman suffering, which his weak body could not bear at all.
That would only hasten the passage of life.
He thought of what Tao Tianshi had said, if it wasn't alarmist, he really saw something.
Perhaps we may take the opportunity to find a temporary solution.
Recently, the temperature in Lihun City has decreased.
And Qixia Street is empty and uninhabited, filled with the smell of bitter wind and rain.
Jiang Wang walked forward, and Xiaoyu held an oil-paper umbrella and followed alongside.
I just came to the intersection of Qixia West Street and stepped on the street of Xicheng Lane, where Tao Tianshi lived.
When I looked up, I saw a man dressed in gray, wearing a hat, a sword in his hand, and a heavy sword box on his back, bathed in the baptism of bitter rain.
Jiang Wang's expression gradually became serious.
He slowly wanted to retreat to Qixia Street.
But the man in the hood directly drew his sword out of its sheath, and the blade of the sword rushed through the wind and rain.
There was a strong sense of oppression, which made Jiang Wang's body freeze in place.
The tip of the sword was pointed at the door of his head.
Although Xiaoyu had reacted quickly, it was still a step too late.
The hood was lifted slightly, and it was looking at the man in his thirties, and he grinned: "You are quite valuable, for the more valuable prey, I will always be more excited, I will let you enjoy the last time." ”
Jiang Wang probably understood what was going on.
Someone asked the Assassin to kill him.
The hooded man opposite is a martial artist.
But Jiang Wang couldn't see what realm he was.
"I don't ask who hired you, I just want to know how much you are worth, what is it?"
The hooded man smiled: "The people I have killed are very consistent with the word "strange", because there are all kinds of people, like you, who don't seem to care, and even those who are funny about me, there are not a few." ”
"I've seen a lot, no matter how you behave, it's no longer worth looking at me differently, but you are indeed my most profitable business, enough to make me worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life."
Jiang looked at it and said, "That's really valuable, but it's really not all money." ”
The hooded man's index finger tapped the hilt of his sword, and the blade of the sword made a violent trembling sound.
The raindrops falling from the air were bounced away, and some of the raindrops slapped directly on Jiang Wang's face, making him subconsciously squint his eyes.
"Doing business is to pay attention to integrity, even if the word integrity is not valuable to me, but to do business, you have to talk about a point, after all, it is the most valuable business, I will give you some preferential treatment, that is, all the means of doing business in the past are used on you."
The sword shines like a rainbow in the rain.
The hooded man's sword movement was fast.
But because Xiao Yu had been staring at the sword, he swung his sword in time to intercept it.
But the tip of the sword was already very close to Jiang Wang, and the moment the two swords collided, Jiang Wang's eyes were not blinded.
The hooded man looked at the little fish and was surprised.
"It's actually a martial artist who is close to the third realm, that sword just now is really wonderful, the sword that can stop me at such a distance, even if it is already a martial artist of the third realm, it is difficult to do it easily."
Jiang Wang was also surprised.
He always thought that Xiaoyu might be very powerful, but he didn't expect that he had already stepped into the third realm of martial arts with half a foot.
But then I thought that Xiaoyu only practiced the move of swinging the sword, maybe practice makes perfect, but in fact, it was not that powerful?
As it turned out, in the face of another attack by the hooded man.
The little fish used the sword swing to block, and gradually began to lose its strength and was beaten back one after another.
The hooded man also found a problem.
"It turned out to be just a waste wood who had just started learning martial arts, but when he swung his sword, he was able to slash with a power comparable to the third realm, and he was indeed talented, but it's a pity that you met me."
His voice had just fallen.
The sword aura covered the entire street.
The martial artist who can cut out the sword qi is at least at the peak of the third realm.
And the hooded man is clearly showing signs of breaking through to the fourth realm.
At this age, he is already very talented in martial arts.
The rain froze at that moment, and the crystal raindrops were suspended in the air.
Countless sword shadows were reflected.
Xiao Yu swung his sword again, pulled out a line of water, and slammed into the opposite sword, making a clanging and crisp sound.
The rain-soaked pretense fell, the lanterns hung in front of the shops on both sides of the street broke one after another, and the doors and windows flapped as if a fairy song was playing.
The hooded man grinned.
His raised hand clenched into a fist.
In the rain curtain, the sound of breaking the air was loud.
The pupils of the small fish shrink suddenly.
The head quickly tilted back.
But the hooded man was approaching in the blink of an eye.
A strand of green silk slid down her cheek.
Jiang Wang coughed lightly.
He had retreated to Qixia Street at this time.
In his hand, he held the long night knife that had been unsheathed.
The hooded man's sword was thus frozen.
His expression became stunned.
Didn't wait for him to come to his senses.
Jiang Wang held an umbrella in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, and threw it directly towards the hooded man.
The hooded man was also surprised to find that he could move, even if he held a sword to block.
But when the long sword collided with the flying knife, it was the long sword that broke in response.
The hooded man did not believe in evil, and followed the sword box behind his back, and several long swords attacked.
Jiang Wang repeated the action and threw the Long Night Knife that flew back again.
The knife is out, and the sword is broken.
"Hell!" The hooded man couldn't understand what was happening.
He couldn't feel the slightest breath fluctuation from Jiang Wang's body, as if he was just an ordinary person throwing a knife around.
Jiang Wang smiled slightly, "I said a long time ago that not you can take any money." ”
The hooded man's sword box was empty, and there was only one sword left in his hand.
He said with a gloomy face: "I take back what I said before, you did make me look a little different, sure enough, the most valuable deal, it has to be worth the money, although I don't know what is going on with you, but the business I want to do, there is no reason to fail." ”
He didn't hesitate at all, and drew his sword decisively.
His body is elegant, and the blade of the sword slashes through the wind and rain, causing thunder to explode.
And Jiang Wang just raised the knife in his hand again.
The sword in the hooded man's hand still failed to avoid a direct break.
And the long night knife continued unabated, slamming heavily on the hooded man's chest.
With the crisp sound of cracking bones, the hooded man spurted out a large pool of blood, mixed with the rain and scattered on the street.
He staggered under his feet and looked at Jiang Wang in disbelief.
Jiang Wang put the knife back into the sheath and said slowly: "You took the money you shouldn't take, took the task you shouldn't take, and appeared when you shouldn't have appeared, so you have to die." ”
The hooded man clutched his collapsed chest, coughing up blood.
"Don't ...... Don't kill me, I'm just taking money to do things, it's all a misunderstanding......"
Jiang Wang looked at the hooded man who was slowly kneeling on the ground and said, "Do you think I believe it or not?" ”
The hooded man cowered tiredly, a 'ho-ho' sound coming out of his throat.
He raised his head with difficulty and stared at Jiang Wang's face, "The person who wants to kill you is surnamed Du, I am just a knife he bought with money, as long as you are willing to let me go, I will help you get rid of that guy, and I won't ......take a penny."
Jiang Wang was silent.
The hooded man crawled into Qixia Street, grabbed Jiang Wang's trouser legs, and coughed up blood again due to excitement.
His face was pleading, and he couldn't even cry, but there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Jiang Wang lowered his body and broke his hand, and at that moment, a cold light suddenly appeared.
The hooded man actually had a two-inch small sword in his hand, and with a rapid speed, he stabbed straight at Jiang Wang's throat.
"I'm going to be the strongest leaver of Bitter Sandalwood! There's no way I'm going to lose! You're the one who is going to die! ”
The hooded man is hysterical.
Jiang Wang bent over, his face calm.
The little sword was three inches away from him.
His right hand tightly wrapped around the wrist of the hooded man's sword.
Twisting his wrists stiffly, twisting them to an extremely terrifying angle, the small sword had already entered his throat amid the hated man's terrible screams.
The screams also stopped abruptly.
When the hooded man was dying, he heard Jiang Wang's flat voice, "If your sword hadn't stopped at the beginning, I would definitely have died no longer, you have too much nonsense, and you are not suitable to be an assassin at all." ”
The man in the hood had the last thing that flashed in his mind what the teacher had said.
Although he has the ruthlessness that a leaver should have, even to the point of being a little perverted, the leaver wants to kill with one blow, not to get pleasure in killing, so as to forget his identity.
......
Jiang Wang held Xiao Yu a little weakly, and wondered: "What is the one who gradually leaves?" ”
Xiao Yu's face was flushed, and he strongly supported Jiang Wang's body, pursed his lips and said: "It's similar to the assassins in the rivers and lakes, but if you can become a leaver, the lowest realm is also in the third realm of martial arts, and there are even monks in it. ”
Jiang Wang was thoughtful.
He never asked Xiaoyu's identity, but Xiaoyu's ability to know so much was enough to prove a lot of questions.
"...... surnamed Du"
Although there are many people surnamed Du in Huncheng, there is only one person who has the money to invite the person who is leaving, and wants to kill him.
But he didn't feel that he had such a big grudge against the Du family.
The facts are already in front of you.
Regardless of the truth, he had no reason to swallow his anger.
In order to avoid any more leavers, he decided to go home first.
Du's family is in Nancheng Lane, and Jiang Wang, who is a waste of firewood when he goes out of Qixia Street, naturally can't go in person.
He only needs to point out the country in the Hou Mansion, and the Black Flame Army will set foot on the Du family!
