Chapter 14: Confrontation
This sudden assassination caught the mercenaries off guard, and the timing chosen by the other party was just right. The two sides confronted each other, and most of their attention was focused on each other, and they didn't expect that there would be cold arrows at all, which left a gap for the killer to assassinate!
"Earth Shield Talisman!"
At this moment, a shield with an earthy yellow halo appeared in front of Su Lianyi's body out of thin air, and the talisman apprentice of the Snow Mountain Mercenary Regiment did not hesitate to make a move.
The shield lasted under the cold arrow for a moment before shattering, turning into bits of light and disappearing. But with this momentary buffer, Luo Kai had already blocked in front of Su Lianyi, and the weapon in his hand was horizontal, blocking this cold arrow.
"Protect Miss Su!" Before Luo Kai's words fell, several cold arrows were shot from different angles, depending on the situation, there was more than one killer!
The sudden change also startled Chen Jie, you must know that he was only a few meters away from Su Lianyi and the others, and it was very likely that he would be caught up in it. As a young master, nothing is more important than your own life.
But soon Chen Jue discovered a phenomenon, that is, all the killers' attacks actually avoided him. Even the few killers who had just rushed out of the crowd deliberately avoided fighting in his direction.
After discovering this, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Chen Jie's mouth, waved his hand and led a few followers to retreat a distance, hugging the little girl who was already stunned in his arms to watch the show.
"Haha, the strength of these killers is really good, they have already killed several mercenaries in such a short time, if this continues, Su Lianyi will probably not be able to escape this catastrophe. It's a pity......" Chen Jue shook his head and sighed, but the schadenfreude in his tone was so obvious.
The mercenaries and killers were fighting, although there were not many killers who were assassinated in close quarters, but because they had to protect Su Lianyi at all times and beware of cold arrows shot from afar, there was no way to take a few killers for a while.
Xiao Mo once again picked up the cold arrow that flew towards him, the cold light flashed in his eyes, and he found that he was the person who was attacked by the cold arrow the most except for Su Lianyi!
If five of the ten cold arrows were aimed at Su Lianyi, then three were aimed at him, and the other two were aimed at the rest of the mercenary group.
"Ah Hong, can you find out the location of the killer who released the cold arrow? Xiao Mo asked Zhao Hong beside him.
"Tracker!" When Zhao Hong heard this, a talisman was struck, and the trajectory of several cold arrows shot was magically revealed!
Xiao Mo looked along the trajectory and found that the source of the trajectory was on the roofs of several houses two hundred meters away.
Xiao Mo took a strange step under his feet, and within a few breaths, he was already out of the range of the battle, and rushed towards the place where the killer who shot the cold arrow was.
At this time, all the pedestrians on the street had already hidden, except for the two sides of the battle, there were only Chen Jue and others who were watching the show not far away. However, the position where Chen Jue and the others stood was between Xiao Mo and the killer.
Looking at Xiao Mo rushing in his direction, Chen Jue suddenly waved his hand and said, "Stop him for me!"
A few followers naturally did not disobey Chen Jie's order, and directly held their weapons in front of Xiao Mo. Where did Xiao Mo have time to spend here with them, he didn't hesitate to make a move, and put all his followers on the ground between three punches and two kicks.
A sharp sound of breaking the air sounded, and a cold arrow suddenly shot in front of Xiao Mo, the killer actually wanted to seize this opportunity and planned to shoot Xiao Mo to death!
Xiao Mo lifted the Yilong Sword to block, and the cold arrow was blocked by him.
"Ahh The screams came, and I saw an arrow stuck in Chen Jie's shoulder, and the cold arrow that Xiao Mo had just blocked had accidentally injured him!
The little girl in Chen Jie's arms also exclaimed, frightened by this scene.
The changes here attracted the attention of the killers and mercenaries, and for a while, both groups were a little stunned. Suddenly, a whistling sounded, and several killers instantly broke away from the battle and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The mercenaries didn't chase after them, as their first task was to protect Su Lianyi. In this battle, the killer left two corpses, but the mercenary group paid for the lives of five people.
A few followers who were beaten to the ground by Xiao Mo quickly got up and hurriedly helped Chen Du to leave. Before leaving, Chen Jue glanced at Xiao Mo with resentment in his eyes, obviously he would not give up on this matter. But the little girl was not taken away.
Su Lianyi was surrounded by more than a dozen mercenary groups, her face was quite normal, but there was a little look of surprise in her eyes. Sure enough, she is worthy of being the eldest lady of the Su family of the four major families, if ordinary girls encounter such a situation, I am afraid that they would have already been frightened.
Su Lianyi walked up to the little girl and said softly, "Little sister, don't be afraid, hurry up and go home." ”
"Thank you...... Thank you......" the little girl said in a trembling voice, and then quickly left.
At this time, Luo Kai's face was ugly, because two of the five mercenaries who died were members of the Red Lotus Mercenary Group.
"Damn killer, Lao Tzu will avenge his brothers!" Xue Ren scolded, this time the Snow Mountain Mercenary Group also killed two members.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, there is such a big commotion here, the killer should have left. However, for the sake of safety, we still escorted Miss Su back immediately. Bai Ye spoke.
Everyone escorted Su Lianyi back to Su Mansion, and Luo Kai immediately reported the matter to Su Yang, the head of the Su family. Su Yang listened to Luo Kai's report, and the whole person was furious: "Okay! Okay! Chen family, you deceive people too much! Since you are unkind first, don't blame my Su family for being unjust!"
As the head of the Su family, Su Yang will naturally not be a good man and a woman.
According to Luo Kai's description of this incident, the killers deliberately avoided Chen Jie, as if they were afraid of hurting Chen Jie. This can also be explained by the fact that the killer didn't want to offend the Chen family, but as soon as Chen Jue was injured and killed, he immediately retreated, so it seemed very strange.
The most important thing is that even without the above two points, Chen Jue's obstruction of Xiao Mo's behavior is obviously to fall into the well, helping the killer deal with Su Lianyi in disguise!
This alone is enough to provoke the contradiction between the Su family and the Chen family!
"I said Su Yang, why are you yelling so much, what do you want to do to our Chen family?" Just here, outside the hall of the Su family, a deep voice came. Then a middle-aged man in his forties dressed in black and with a gloomy face walked in.
"Chen Qiu, it's okay if your son is rampant and domineering in Lingfeng City on weekdays, this time his actions your Chen family will give my Su family an explanation no matter what!" Su Yang replied unceremoniously.
The person who came was Chen Qiu, the head of the Chen family, who immediately went to the Su family after hearing the reason and what happened to his son's injury, and happened to hear Su Yang's angry words.
At the same time, Ling Yue and Ling Hong, the heads of the Ling family, also received the news.
"Father, the killers failed to assassinate Su Lianyi, what should I do next?" Ling Hong looked at Ling Yue and asked.
"Haha, although I didn't succeed in killing Su Lianyi and that low-level mercenary, but because of the existence of Chen Jie's stupidity, the contradiction between the Su family and the Chen family has been provoked. What we have to do now is to go to the Su family to be a 'peacemaker'!" Ling Yue laughed loudly, got up and walked towards the Su family.
Just when Su Yang and Chen Qiu were arguing with each other, Ling Yue took Ling Hong to the Su family hall.
"I heard the dispute between the two heads of the family from afar, why don't you let me say a word?" Ling Yue saw Chen Qiu and Su Yang stop arguing and look at him, and smiled slightly.
"Chen Jie's approach this time is indeed inappropriate, but fortunately, Miss Ripple was not harmed, and Chen Jue was also punished accordingly, so the head of the Su family, I think Chen Jie's matter might as well be left like this. ”
"On the contrary, Chen Jue was injured because of a small mercenary, the Su family master should give the Chen family master an explanation for this matter, if the Su family master hands over the mercenary, the Chen family master should be willing to help the Su family master find the killer, right?"
After listening to Ling Yue's words, Chen Qiu didn't know where he was, and immediately said, "As long as Su Yang and you hand over the people, it will not be a problem for the two of us to join forces to investigate these killers." ”
Looking at Ling Yue and Chen Qiu singing and harmonizing, Su Yang replied, "What if I say no?"
Su Yang is not the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, the reason why Xiao Mo accidentally injured Chen Du is, in the final analysis, to protect Su Lianyi. Just this point, Su Yang would not hand over Xiao Mo! Otherwise, if the heart of the mercenary group was chilled, I am afraid that Su Lianyi would be really dangerous.
As soon as Su Yang's words came out, a strange smile appeared in Ling Yue's eyes.
"Su Yang, you have to think about it, is it worth it to make a feud with my Chen family for a little mercenary!" Chen Qiu said in a deep voice.
"You don't know what kind of relationship our four major families have, and what does it matter if you have a feud or not. I, Su Yang, am not the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge! On the contrary, your Chen family is notoriously bullying, haha!"
"Good! A deep voice came, and then a burly and majestic figure walked into the hall, and it turned out to be Tang Cheng.
"Chen Qiu, if you want to deal with Xiao Mo, except for the Su family master's different accidents, I, Tang Cheng, don't agree either!"
"Tang Cheng, I see that you are going back more and more, even if you taught my son a lesson for a little mercenary before, but now you are still arguing for him and the head of the Chen family, is it possible that your Talisman Forger Guild has fallen to this point now?"
Tang Cheng's appearance was somewhat unexpected by Ling Yue, and he hurriedly spoke out so as not to ruin his plan.
"I don't need Ling Yue to teach me how to do it, you are the same as Chen Qiu, you should teach your son well. Tang Cheng said lightly, seemingly ignoring Ling Yue at all.
Ling Hong's face on the side instantly turned red, and he stared at Tang Cheng with angry eyes, but he didn't dare to attack.
"Tang Cheng, what are you here for?" Chen Qiu stared at Tang Cheng tightly and asked, today I originally wanted to take the opportunity to knock on the Su family, who would have wanted to kill Tang Cheng halfway and disrupt all his plans.
