Chapter 1: Assassination

The clouds and mist were covered, the moonlight was hazy, and there was not a single star in the sky, only a faint light of moonlight shone lightly, and a layer of mist shrouded the mountain peaks below, as if draped in a gray veil. From a distance, it looks even more unreal, and the whole mountain seems to merge with the gray moonlight, quiet and impermanent.

A subtle rustling sound suddenly sounded, but it was not clear in the gray night, only a puff of smoke came from far and near, like a huge butterfly flying in the night.

I saw that the butterfly stopped when it approached the peak, and there was no movement around it, and it was impossible to see whether it was black or green in the night.

After a while, the smoke poured out, and then it turned out to be a group of black-clad men, about a dozen of them, all standing neatly and looking at the mountain in front of them, as if their eyesight was limited in the gray moonlit night.

After a while, the leader began to move, only to see him stretch out his hand, the black smoke dispersed forward, but it seemed to be resisted by an invisible thing, and a person walked out behind the leader and looked at this place and respectfully bent towards the black-clothed captain and said, "Captain, this is it." ”

The leader also understood, and continued to drive the black smoke forward to cover a small area in front of him, but he still couldn't see clearly under the mountain peak in front of him, the leader frowned and then ordered backwards: "This array can cover such a large area, I'm afraid it's not ordinary, Zhao Lin, Zhao Yu, your aura has a corrosive effect, take a look at how this array is." ”

As soon as the words fell, two people with similar faces walked out behind them again, bowed down slightly and answered yes, and then walked forward and took out an object in the shape of a butterfly from the storage bag on his waist.

Immediately after that, he used both hands to make a set of tricks on the object, and the object suddenly emitted bursts of fluorescence, but under the black smoke, there was not a single leak outside.

Zhao Lin and Zhao Yu stepped forward solemnly with the glowing butterfly-like object and gently stuck to the gray mist that shrouded the mountain peaks. At this time, a beam of black silk suddenly emerged from the arms of the two of them, and hit the mist through the fluorescent object, only to see that the air in front of them was surging, and it actually revealed a faint white light, and then slowly wriggled and turned into a huge butterfly with a strange black light.

Seeing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but one of them was still thinking about it, and the other replied happily: "Captain, this formation looks quite big, I can't imagine that it is so easy to solve, there is no need to worry." ”

The captain nodded, but still replied seriously: "Then you move quickly, don't mess up, remember not to alarm the people inside." ”

The two of them used their aura again, only to see the butterfly with a strange black glow vibrating its wings, dancing silently, slowly winding on the layer of white light, revealing a gap that could be entered, and this operation did not reveal the slightest sound.

The captain waved his hand lightly when he saw this, and the black smoke covering them rose again, and then whispered back in the smoke: "Lei Leopard, you take a small team to follow me in, and the other two teams guard both sides of this road, don't let the people inside escape." ”

Everyone replied softly, and when the black-clothed captain raised his hand, Zhao Lin and Zhao Yu hurriedly put away the glowing object in their hands and took the lead into the long door, and the captain and the thunder leopard behind him led a small team of mermaids to enter, and the dancing butterflies gradually dissipated in the air.

When you enter, you will not be greeted by a mountain peak, but a valley, in front of which is a bamboo forest, and the sound of insects chirping softly. The captain closed his eyes and felt it, beckoned everyone to follow him, and the whole smoke fluttered into the bamboo forest like a butterfly.

Deep in the bamboo forest is a bamboo house, in which a slightly thin man in a long blue coat stands leaning against the window, holding a jade pendant, which is a semicircle, as if it has been cut in half.

The man stroked the jade pendant, raised his head, and stared at the sky above. At this time, I could see that the man's expression was slightly vicissitudes, but his eyes were dark and shiny, and his face was relatively delicate, and it could be seen that the man should be younger than his expression.

The man looked at the sky, not knowing whether to stare at the hazy moonlight or the clouds that were about to completely obscure the moonlight, and he couldn't help but think of a child in his mind: the child was only five or six years old, but his eyes were extremely smart, like stars swaying among the flowing clouds.

The sound of insects next to the bamboo house was still chirping, the man's brows furrowed and he seemed to be slightly irritable, sighed, and said to himself: "The things have been packed up, it's time to go home to see the children, and this place should be abandoned." ”

The man closed the window, walked out of the door, turned to look into the room, and there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but he still firmly closed the door, and turned again to leave.

At this moment, the sky suddenly completely darkened, the clouds finally completely obscured the moon, and the sound of insects was completely quiet at this moment.

The man sighed softly: It's going to rain again, and it seems that there will be rain in the next two days.

With the route in his memory, the man walked out with his feelings on the bluestone path in the dark night.

After a slow moment, the clouds gradually parted, and the hazy moonlight still shrouded in the fall, and the man regained his sight, and walked out on the path according to the faint hazy moonlight.

Suddenly, the man's footsteps paused, and he felt that something was wrong, it was too quiet, and the sound of insects was no longer heard in the moonlight.

At this time, two black shadows suddenly appeared on both sides of the man in Tsing Yi, two beams of knife light slashed towards the man, the man retreated unhurriedly, and at this time, a person was killed behind him, and a black knife slashed at the man's back, the man had to stop and retreat, and at this time, the knife light on both sides of the original slashed from the left and right fronts, instantly sealing the man's advance and retreat space.

The young man snorted coldly, tapped the ground with his toes, and instantly rose from the ground, and at this time, a person suddenly flew out from the bamboo forest, and slashed downward, the momentum was even louder, and there was a great tendency to cut down this person.

Seeing this, the man finally stopped keeping his hand, released the cyan aura all over his body, pulled out the sword in his hand, and raised the sword with his left hand obliquely on the scabbard, and the tip of the scabbard pointed at the edge of the knife.

The man didn't care about this person, he pulled out his right hand and waved it around, and the half-zhang long cyan sword qi spread around him, only to hear the sound of three ding, and the three black sword lights on his side were all covered by the cyan sword qi.

A burst of black light also appeared on the bodies of the three black-clothed people in the shadows at the same time, attacking the cyan sword qi, but they still couldn't block the swirling cyan sword qi, the black light dissipated instantly, and the sword qi also swept to the blade.

The cyan sword qi was still attacking the three of them, and even if the three of them resisted with all their strength, they couldn't stop the sword qi at all, and the three of them were instantly penetrated by the sword qi, and they also shouted a word when they were dying.

After the young man sent out his sword aura to his side, he didn't pay any attention to his surroundings, obviously not worried at all. Just raise the sword and stab upwards again, and this time it is no longer the scabbard, but the body of the sword.

The person above also happened to slash down at this time, and the tips of the blades touched each other, but there was no imaginary hold, and the tip of the sword instantly stabbed the big knife and stabbed towards the black-clothed man on the bamboo.

The man in black could only use the aura of his whole body to inject only half of the hilt in his hand, in order to block it for half a moment, but he saw a flash of blue light at the tip of the sword, and the sword qi instantly smashed the hilt and continued to stab at the man in black above his head.

When the sword qi struck, the first thing the man in black felt was a trace of warmth, but under this trace of warmth, he felt a strong sense of death, and he didn't have time to think about the contrast between the front and the back.

At this time, the young man's face suddenly changed, and the aura in his body was running solemnly, and he could no longer support the sword qi. Although the sword qi he swung out no longer had the support of spiritual energy, it still pierced into the body of the man in black by inertia.

The man in black was hit by the sword qi, shook and fell to the ground from the bamboo, and when he landed, he could no longer hold back, and spit out a large mouthful of blood from his mouth, obviously suffering serious internal injuries, this person was indeed the thunder leopard who had just entered.

The young man also fell to the ground then, and after a pause, he picked up the surprise on his face, and only slightly mobilized the intermittent aura in his body, and looked around without changing his face.

At the same time, he quietly took out a small round object from his chest, as if it was a circle disk, only the size of a palm, and he didn't react when he saw the circle disk for a moment.

The man's heart was a little strange, he didn't know how these people didn't alarm the formation to enter here, and he didn't have time to think about it before he hid the array plate in his hand.

Lei Leopard saw that the young man was just standing in place and did not kill again, his frightened face was stunned at first, as if he had thought of something, but he saw that there was no abnormality on the young man's face, and he couldn't be sure for a while.

With a miserable face, he looked at his dead companions in front of him, although those people were not as good as him, but they were also good players who had just broken through the foundation building period and entered the spirit gathering period, and all three of them were defeated under one sword.

Thinking of this, the fear struck again, and Lei Leopard could only prop up his elbows and quietly retreat, so that the young man really stopped paying attention to him.

The young man finally found a little abnormality in the surroundings, and he knew that there must be someone hiding in the bamboo forest, but he couldn't know where he was under the scanning, and he knew that he couldn't show a flaw at this time, otherwise he would not be able to leave after the aura was lost.

I can only force myself to move forward, although the aura is not good, it is not difficult to rely on my own strength to kill this seriously injured person, but I can't be seen by the people who are hiding around me.

The young man was no longer silent, and walked forward without hurrying, and said as he walked: "Holding a standard saber in his hand, the exercises are of the same origin, and he is good at the method of joint attacks, and the cooperation is so tacit, it must not be a loose cultivation, let's talk about it, who asked you to assassinate me." ”

These were the first words spoken by the young man after the attack, but Lei Leopard did not dare to answer any words, just looked around anxiously.

Seeing this, the young man knew that he couldn't learn more about this matter, but he himself was just using dialogue to draw the attention of the people around him, and the exercises and other information that he had just deliberately tried out were enough for subsequent investigations.

But now is not the time to think about this, but how to get out. The man walked up to Lei Leopard without hurry, raised the long sword in his hand lightly, and slashed at his throat.

Lei Leopard has been seriously injured, the aura of his body was destroyed by the sword qi, looking at the cyan long sword that was chopped off, he could only anxiously and desperately crawl back, but how fast can a seriously injured person climb, and finally the sword in the man's hand arrived in front of Lei Leopard, Lei Leopard couldn't hold back anymore in a hurry, and finally shouted for help.
