Chapter 175: Shadowless Assassin
Jiang Chen's oath echoed in the void, so far away that it sounded like it was in another world, and as the end gradually stopped, his consciousness returned to reality from that mysterious realization.
After taking the oath, he naturally knew that the price of this transaction was to use the martial arts taught by Su Yunqing as a weight. The more you profit from it, the heavier the invisible shackles, and if you break your oath, you will suffer backlash, and all profits will be recovered, and even affect the physical foundation. Although it did not harm his life, it was the most serious punishment for him who was determined to take revenge.
"Are you satisfied with my oath?" Jiang Chen turned his head to Su Yunqing.
Su Yunqing's eyebrows stretched and smiled: "Okay, Ah Xi didn't see the wrong person." Whatever you want to learn, I'll teach you. β
"Everything you know, I'm going to learn."
"Let's start with the Falling Flower Palm. I'll teach you the mantra first, and after you memorize it tonight, I'll feed you tomorrow when I have time. β
The two whispered in the hidden place under the sand dunes, Su Yunqing explained more than 100 variations of the "Falling Flower Palm", and Jiang Chen listened intently, thinking about the essence of the mantra with his heart.
In the camp, the white-robed knight kept a solitary vigil.
Seeing Jiang Chen and Su Yunqing both returning, the white-robed knight swept his gaze and said in a low voice: "Be careful at night and don't wander around." β
Jiang Chen felt that the tone of the white-robed knight was a little strange, and he threw a glance at him, but saw that his head was lowered, and he looked unwilling to deal with people. It seems that the sentence just now is just a casual mumble.
"Is he talking to us?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Seems like so." Su Yunqing replied.
"What does he mean?"
"It's just for you to take care of your eyes, don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't listen to what you shouldn't hear!"
"Is that so?" Jiang Chen felt that the white-robed knight's reminder didn't just mean that.
"Also, take care of your three legs, women who shouldn't be touched, never touch!"
ββ¦β¦β
After walking for a while, when she was about to break up in front of the tent, Su Yunqing suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Do you feel weird?" β
"Weird?" Jiang Chen instantly thought of several faces, almost everyone in this caravan had weirdness, "Who are you referring to?" β
"I don't think it's easy for them to carry this shipment."
"Hmm. There should be a batch of Akatsuki essences, which are very valuable. β
"It's not a question of whether it's worth the money or not." Su Yunqing tilted her head and thought for a while, "Every time I approach the big red box they escorted, I feel a chill on my back, as if I am standing in a barren mountain graveyard in the middle of the night. A few people didn't react quite right, they were too nervous, and the look in their eyes almost killed me......"
"This is also normal, these people value money more than life, of course they have to guard against you."
"I feel like there's more to it than that. Inside that big red box must have been something very powerful, very terrifying. The one in the white robe just now should have warned us to stay away from the box. β
"Then he's too worried, I'm not interested in their boxes......"
The two parted ways at the door and each slipped into the tent.
The red moonlight poured in through the cracks in the ceiling, and the mat quilt seemed to be soaked in blood, revealing an ominous color.
Jiang Chen's mind returned to the mantra of "Falling Flower Palm", and while thinking about the essence of the move, he closed the tent door, intending to undress and sleep.
As soon as his right hand touched the placket of his shirt, his body suddenly trembled, and suddenly he had a great sense of crisis, and he instinctively rolled forward without thinking about it, slammed into the curtain and rushed out of the tent.
In the scattered strips of cloth, a faint sound of wind approached from the back of his head, almost touching the back of his neck.
Someone is going to assassinate themselves!
Jiang Chen had this thought in his heart, he didn't have time to think about it, he kicked his foot violently, his body swept forward like an arrow from the string, and when he was about to look back, he only heard a subtle murderous aura following him, if he insisted on turning back, he was afraid that he would hear the hissing sound of his neck being cut.
'What a quick move! Jiang Chen's heart was awe-inspiring, the speed of the assassin was not below him.
What's worse is that the opponent's concealment technique is so powerful that Jiang Chen can't capture his position, even if he wants to use "space warp" to fight back, he doesn't know whether the assassin is on the left or right.
In thought, he flicked his left foot and leaned towards another tent next to him.
The faint aura behind him followed, and the invisible killing intent always hit the back of Jiang Chen's neck, and Jiang Chen guessed that it was a highly poisonous divine weapon similar to "Shadow Slashing".
This assassin came so strangely that Jiang Chen couldn't find a gap for a while, so he had to continue to escape.
Jiang Chen's body was like a wisp of light smoke, and he stepped into the shadow of the tent.
In a split second, he leaped from the void and flashed to the other side of the tent with great skill, and at the same time drew his shadow slashing sword, instinctively stabbing through the tent.
ββThe intuition of a sixth-order "Imperial Weapon" cultivator is often more accurate than that of a martial artist in the same realm!
The assassin was still chasing the remnant of Jiang Chen's original impression, when he suddenly saw a gray and simple black light pierce the tent curtain, and Sen Sen's murderous aura shrouded him in the shadow of death.
The Assassin's breath froze for a moment, then he rolled over and spun out, dodging the deadly sword, then gave up the chase and quietly retreated.
The next moment, Jiang Chen rushed to the assassin's original location with his sword, only to see an extremely fast and faint shadow quickly disappear in the moonlight, and a few ups and downs disappeared from view.
The assassin was very good at using light and shadow as a cover, and Jiang Chen didn't even see the outline of his figure. But that kind of treacherous and erratic body style made Jiang Chen fall into deep thought.
One hit misses, thousands of miles away, professional assassin style.
The assassin waited in the tent for a long time, and his breath was exhausted, and even Su Yunqing, who had excellent perception and possessed the secret skill of "listening to thunder", was also concealed. With such superb concealment skills and untraceable assassination methods, he can be described as the king of killers among killers.
Could this person be the man who has been harassing this young man?
Not like.
Listening to the sound of the flute many times, Jiang Chen can be regarded as the "bosom friend" of the flute, that guy gives Jiang Chen the feeling that he is like a treacherous and cunning fox, teasing you from afar and luring you into a trap. But if you don't know for sure, he won't rush into a fight with you.
And tonight's assassin is a vicious poisonous snake, hiding in the shadows, and will give you a bite if he is cold.
Although they are both enemies, their styles are different.
Thinking that these two tricky enemies were eyeing him, Jiang Chen's mood was a little annoyed, he spat out a breath of turbidity, and muttered: "Ben Shaoxia's head is very valuable, I'm afraid you won't take ...... life."
Could it be that these people are lackeys sent by the Futu Sect, knowing that I am going to find the Black Sword Saint, so they want to intercept me halfway?
On the territory of the Black Sword Saint, he dares to be so wild, it's really a lot of courage!
Jiang Chen suddenly turned his head and shouted at the tall thin man "Wujia Python" who was probing his brain not far away, "What are you looking at? β
The Wujia python came out to see the excitement when he heard the movement, and was about to go back to the tent, when Jiang Chen shouted like this, his face suddenly became a little unbearable, and a pair of gloomy triangular eyes shrank a little less, and said coldly: "Look at you?" β
Jiang Chen stretched out his finger and pointed at him: "Try again?" β
The two of them clashed with each other, and the five-armored python was slightly startled, only to feel that a strong wind pressure was coming, pressing his chest tightness and panting, and he obviously fell behind.
But when I thought that on such a quiet night, many people in the camp probably hadn't slept yet, and were listening to the conversation between the two with their ears pricked up.
