Chapter 116: Blood stains the banks of the Hibiscus River
A sky-high fire, blazing in the middle of the mountain, the evening wind was cold, blowing the fire spread and overflowing, illuminating the whole night brightly, like day—
Lin Xi saw this fire from afar.
Across a large mountain, he could only see the light of a fire that shimmered in the night.
He rushed over along the winding mountain road at the foot of the mountain, the fire was only thick smoke, Lin Xi looked at the village with ashes, and the whole person was stunned-
Not a single one escaped.
The whole village, forty or fifty families, all died in the house and burned clean.
Only a few escaped, and the black hole wound on the back of the chest told Lin Xi that this was not an accidental fire.
The plaque at the entrance of the village that has not yet burned out fell to the ground, and the four characters "Luokou Wen Family" were written on it.
Although the houses have been burned to ashes, the clues can still be seen from their size and pomp - these families must be a well-known martial arts family, and they must be rich people who live here.
From the furniture that was not completely burned, it can be seen that it has been looted through boxes and cabinets.
Even the most daring robbers, after robbing villages and towns, they will never kill all the people in the village, leaving no one alive.
Murder is a capital offense, let alone killing the entire village.
Lin Xi was sure in his heart that the murderers must be extremely vicious murderers, and the purpose of these people was even clearer - money.
"It's ...... Robbery and slaughter of villages? "Longevity is on the side, and I can also see the purpose of this gang of murderers.
"Yes, and this group of people will never be ordinary bandits, they must be a group of killers with strong martial arts."
Lin Xi suddenly "hissed" and took a breath, pricking up his ears to listen to the sound in the wind.
"Shhhh
"Keep up!" Everyone got on their horses together and chased Lin Xi to the northeast.
About a dozen people are retreating rapidly to the northeast together. There were a few people whose footsteps were very light, like dragonflies touching water, and Lin Xi couldn't really hear it, not sure how many people there were.
Lin Xi chased so fast that he was far away from his companions.
Lin Xi rode his horse after him, but he didn't notice that at this time, all the sounds around him had disappeared, and he had entered a bush full of wild hibiscus.
The fierce horse under his crotch neighed, and he was planted forward in an instant, Lin Xi supported the ground with both hands, jumped forward, and barely stood still.
Lin Xi glanced back, the black horse had been planted, and he finally realized that all the sounds around him had disappeared-
Lin Xi realized that he had become a target.
Behind him, Hibiscus Hua trembled sharply, and two steel knives slashed at Lin Xi's legs.
Lin Xi jumped up from the flowers, and several hibiscus were picked off by Lin Xi, and flew into the eyes of the two knife-wielding murderers, and the two couldn't help but close their eyes, but they couldn't open them anymore.
Lin Xi's sword, which was already hanging upside down in the air, was like lightning, and his four eyes were neatly split by a sword. Another person behind him rose into the air, and a big knife smashed towards Lin Xi's head, Lin Xi flashed backwards, and instantly dust splashed, like an explosion.
And the big man behind him, when he fell, Lin Xi's long sword was already inserted in his neck, and he didn't even know when he died.
As soon as he landed, a short man suddenly came out behind him, strangled Lin Xi's neck and pressed it to the ground.
The neck received an external force, Lin Xi's body bent into an arch, the bushes in front of his legs trembled again, and two flying swords flew from the bushes, Lin Xi grabbed the dwarf in the ground with both hands, and one turned over and jumped behind the dwarf, blocking the flying sword with the body of the dwarf.
The sword light flashed rapidly, and the bushes were cut off by the waist, and the two people who were hidden behind the bushes were also cut by the sword.
In the bushes behind him, a killer Huo came out, but he was stunned.
Of the seven brothers who were doing errands together, only one was left, and the hem of Lin Xi's clothes had already been stained red by a pool of blood, and he was already thinking about finding a way to survive for himself in fright.
Lin Xi didn't look at him.
He couldn't tell how many people there were, so he didn't dare to relax.
The two corpses that were cut off by the waist in front of him suddenly trembled, and the slight movement was noticed by Lin Xi.
The two corpses that fell to the ground suddenly burst out, and a third person rushed straight to Lin Xi from between the two corpses.
Lin Xi was shocked to realize that this person was far away from him, but he had already been hit by a sword in his chest!
Lin Xi was shocked that this person's sword was as long as six feet, and in shock, he dodged and retreated.
Suddenly, there was a sword wind behind him, and Lin Xi remembered that there was another person behind him, and the sword in his right hand was quickly changed to his left hand, and he stabbed it without seeing it. Lin Xi only felt a chill in his back, as if he had been stabbed.
At the same time, a muffled snort sounded behind him, and Lin Xi's sword had pierced into his heart.
At the moment of the middle sword, Lin Xi leaned down and rolled diagonally in the direction of the long swordsman. The man's eyes were empty, and he lost Lin Xi's trace in an instant. Suddenly, there was a chill in his abdomen, and Lin Xi's sword had already pierced through it.
Lin Xi rolled into a bush, and the wound in front of him and behind his back did not make him feel pain.
Lin Xi crouched in the bushes, holding his breath and concentrating. The wound on his chest became more and more numb, Lin Xi's mind was in a trance, his eyes were black, and he realized that there was anesthetic on the long swordsman's sword.
Lin Xi was all focused on the long swordsman in front of him, but he didn't realize that among the hibiscus flowers behind him, a pair of wolf-like eyes were already staring at him.
Lin Xi stabbed again, at this time he was only a foot away from the back of the long swordsman, and suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him, and then a knife sound made Lin Xi quickly realize what was behind him.
At this time, Lin Xi can dodge a knife sideways, but he will lose the best opportunity to seriously injure or even kill a person, but once he stabs it, the knife behind him will definitely not be able to dodge.
Lin Xi not only did not stop, but instead accelerated the speed of his feet.
The swordsman tried to dodge sideways, but it was too late.
At the moment of severe pain in his back, Lin Xi's sword also pierced the long swordsman's chest.
Lin Xi rolled and fell far away, his body was covered in blood, and he couldn't stop wheezing.
All of this happened in a matter of moments.
"Do you still have the strength?" The master behind him raised the long knife in his hand and looked at Lin Xi who fell to the ground with a sneer.
Lin Xi didn't answer, he didn't have the strength to answer anymore.
Lin Xi's eyes were full of stars, and the sky was spinning, and the sword just now had exhausted her strength.
"You can't catch my knife anymore."
Lin Xi tried to support his body, but saw the cold man and the bloody knife. The long knife reflected a dazzling white light in the moonlight.
"Bell"
A loud sound of striking metal came into Lin Xi's ears, and the imaginary knife was not cut down.
A girl dressed in white pointed at the knife of the swordsman, and the knife was broken in two.
"Night White!"
Everyone arrived, and Lin Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, propped his hands on the ground, and gasped heavily.
The swordsman's eyes shook slightly, and Ling Yebai had already pulled out his long sword and swept it away a few steps away.
"If I just hit your occipital bone, wind pool, Shenque, and the four acupoints in the middle of the body, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand here alive and talk to me."
The swordsman was shocked in his heart, when he shot just now, these four acupuncture points were indeed fatal death points.
Although he panicked in his heart, he immediately thought: if he escaped, with his own body, how could she hit him? If it weren't for the fact that the knife in her hand had been cut in two, how could she have a chance to hit her own vital point by relying on her own shot?
"I advise you not to try lightly, there are still many sisters behind me, if you can't kill me with one move, I'm afraid you won't survive the second move."
The swordsman clenched the handle of the half-cut knife in his hand, and threw it violently as he fled backwards, Ling Yebai only seemed to move, and the broken knife flew over against his cheek.
Ling Yebai gestured with both hands, and a burst of cold internal energy burst out, instantly freezing the swordsman's legs. In just an instant, he had escaped more than ten feet.
"The robbery of the Luokou Wen family must have been done by your party, let's say, who instructed you? You said, and it is possible to reduce the culpability......"
The swordsman fell to the ground, laughed instead of being angry, and said straightforwardly: "Little girl, you can't count the people I killed, and the money you robbed is more than the paper money you burn during the New Year's holidays, and now you have burned so many houses...... Mitigation? Will I be imprisoned forever, or will I be locked up for a few days like a thief who steals? If you say this, it will work to deceive the thief! ”
The swordsman laughed, and at some point there was an inch-long blade in his hand, which stabbed into his heart without warning.
Ling Yebai frowned, probed his snort, and made sure that he was no longer alive, so he ignored him anymore.
Tang Yun rummaged through the long swordsman who had been dead for a long time, and through Tang Yunsui's pharmacology, he found a package of antidote, and hurriedly let Lin Xi, who had fallen to the ground, take it, and it took a long time before he gradually woke up.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Lin Xi woke up from a burst of coughing, and felt a gust of fragrant wind rushing into his nose.
"Longevity, Guanyin ......"
Yanshou wrapped the bandages on Lin Xi's body, and Guanyin said quietly: "How do you know it's the two of you?" ”
Lin Xi grinned a few teeth and said with a smile: "Even if I don't remember everyone, I have to remember you two." ”
"Poor mouth." Yanshou said with concern, "Does the injury on your body still hurt?" ”
Lin Xi shook his head, "It doesn't hurt much, we... Walk slowly for a while, and I'll be fine after a while......"
"Well, I'll hold you up."
"That's right," Lin Xi saw Zhou Baiyu rummaging on top of the corpse again, and asked, "Bai Yu, did you find anything?" ”
"Now, look at this." Zhou Baiyu handed a letter to Lin Xi, "This was found on the swordsman's body." ”
Lin Xi opened the letterhead, and a few words were scribbled on it:
Huang Yin, Tang Shu
Luokou Wen family
"Huang Yin, Huang Yin......"
Zhou Baiyu analyzed: "I think, this long swordsman and this swordsman must be the two Huang Yin and Tang Shu on this letter. ”
Lin Xi's eyes lit up: "I've heard of this Huang Yin, a horse thief, a Jiangyang thief in Shandong, known as the 'Iron God Knife', was captured by the government, how could he come out?" ”
Yanshou asked curiously, "You seem to know a lot." ”
"That's nature--you forget, I'm on the side of Hebei, and I still have some understanding of the martial arts people in the eastern part of Lianghe Mountain. This Huang Yin is a famous figure in Shandong. ”
