Volume 1: Cangyan Festival Chapter 22 Fate hangs by a thread
Zhong Yu was grabbed by Xie Wuyi's waist and deftly avoided it with her strength. Xie Wuyi pulled out the phoenix marrow and bypassed Feixue's claw hook to block her attack.
Seeing that the blow missed, Feixue no longer dwelled on it, and immediately dodged and retreated. Xie Wuyi was just about to chase after him, but suddenly reacted.
She wasn't Feixue, and the maid who invited them to Lone Peak didn't have kung fu. This person's posture...... and the pair of mother and son met on the way back to Zeyang is the same road.
Is it the people behind the scenes who can't help but do it?
Before he could react, there was another movement in the grass, and three black shadows went straight to Zhong Yu. Xie Wuyi didn't care about being exposed or not, he pushed her with his backhand, resisting with the phoenix marrow, and retreated into the forest.
If Zhong Yue was smart enough, she should have hurried back to the school to find someone. With her three-legged cat kung fu, staying here for a moment longer is a burden for Xie Wuyi.
After all, the phoenix marrow is a defensive weapon, and it is okay to resist the attack, but it is difficult to use a killing move. After a few rounds, Xie Wuyi rested his left little finger against the base of his palm, quickly judging the assassin's purpose.
Zhong Yu.
They came for Zhong Yu, or rather, for Lu Yun.
Xie Wuyi had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly shook off his cloak. Under the fading twilight, the other party couldn't tell where Zhong Yue was hiding for a while.
The three of them were in hot pursuit, all the while trying to break through Xie Wuyi's defenses. It was easy to determine the direction, Xie Wuyi retreated to a willow tree, grabbed a thick and flexible willow, and stepped on the trunk and flew up. But after all, she was fighting alone, but the opposite side could cooperate with each other, and one of them had already stepped on the shoulders of her companions and glimpsed up, ready to echo up and down to repel Xie Wuyi.
Seeing that the dagger was about to fall on top of his head, Xie Wuyi smiled smugly.
It's you!
She jerked hard in her hand, and leaned outward, and the man's dagger slashed at the willow branch, and in the blink of an eye he threw himself into the air.
Xie Wuyi kicked at him, snatching the dagger he had taken off. She sprang over in the air, her legs clasped over the neck of the man who was flying upwards, and the wicker in her hand turned and twitched.
"Ahh
The man let out a scream, clutched his eyes and fell to the ground. Xie Wuyi got up and slit his throat with a dagger.
The remaining two didn't expect Xie Wuyi to be so fierce, and their footsteps were slightly stagnant, so Xie Wuyi directly got up and counterattacked. The wicker that had just been "disposed of" used her hand to take advantage of it, and she flicked and pulled, directly dragging the two assassins who were weak in their legs and feet and trying to escape in front of her, killing them with one blow.
Xie Wuyi grabbed the wicker and pulled the cloak, letting the blood splash on it.
She sneered, these people are used to weapons, and I am afraid that they have long forgotten the ability of wicker. Although the wicker is soft, it can borrow ingenuity; Although the willow leaves are thin, they are also as sharp as knives. I think that when Hua Feidu taught the soft whip, her hands were not cut a lot.
However, Xie Wuyi still had a doubt in his heart, how did such a poor assassin sneak into Pinglin Yuan?
"Sister ......"
The voice came from the bushes, and Xie Wuyi immediately ran over with a frown, and saw Zhong Yue hiding inside, his face pale.
"I ......"
Before, she opened her mouth and closed her sister, but in the blink of an eye, Xie Wuyi was left in danger alone, Zhong Yue was ashamed and embarrassed, and he really didn't have the face to continue. Xie Wuyi didn't care, and after confirming that Zhong Yu was not injured, he said, "It's okay, you and King Qi's child are important." ”
The sun sets, and the night falls. Zhong Yu took Xie Wuyi to shuttle through the bushes for a while, and his footsteps suddenly slowed down.
"Uncomfortable?" Xie Wuyi hurriedly went to pick her up.
"No...... Zhong Yu was excited, holding his lower abdomen with both hands, "I...... I can't find my way......"
Xie Wuyi's eyes darkened, but she didn't complain about Zhong Yu, after all, there were bushes here, and even she couldn't tell the direction. Xie Wuyi touched the fire fold on his waist and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is there a crossbow?"
Zhong Yu nodded repeatedly, she carried a small sleeve crossbow with her, and there were just two arrows left. Xie Wuyi was overjoyed, and hurriedly picked a piece of wood of suitable size from the grass, lit it with a fire breaker, tied it to the body of the arrow, and shot it vertically into the night sky.
The feather arrow broke through the air, and the firelight became weaker and weaker, but it still held on to mid-air and burst into a small point of light.
Xiao Wei should be able to see it.
Zhong Yue's eyes widened, and then suddenly, Xie Wuyi just used one enemy and three enemies, and she was a killer move, it turned out that her kung fu was so good?
"You ......"
Hiss –
Before Zhong Yu finished speaking, Xie Wuyi heard a strange sound and squatted into the bushes by pressing Zhong Yu's head. She lay on the ground and listened, and suddenly her heart was cold.
That's more than 10 people.
The signal just now has revealed the location of the two, and those people are surrounded from all directions, and the two of them are simply turtles in an urn.
Before he had time to think about it, Xie Wuyi stuffed the dagger and phoenix marrow in his hand to Zhong Yu, and made a gesture of wrapping her arms around her to protect herself. Just about to go out, Zhong Yu suddenly grabbed her hand.
Xie Wuyi was so anxious that he saw Zhong Yu pull out a thin whip from his belt.
Before, she saw that Xie Wuyi was very comfortable with wicker, and she knew that this whip was very suitable for her.
Under the last ray of skylight, the whip body that was as pale as water was covered with a layer of rippling and cold mist, which was reflected in Xie Wuyi's eyes, like a candle flame, like the rising sun, like ten thousand rays of light.
Xie Wuyi's breathing stopped at this moment.
The situation was urgent, she was busy stabilizing her mind, nodding to Zhong Yue, throwing away the willow branch and taking the soft whip.
After moving a little away from Zhong Yu, Xie Wuyi emerged from the bushes, her hand twisted through the bayonet on the side of the soft whip, and two rows of spikes burst out of the earth, standing proudly with her.
There were more than a dozen black-clothed people standing in front of him, gradually becoming a trend of convergence.
Xie Wuyi was engrossed, his gaze sweeping over this black oppressive barrier.
With a flick of his wrist, the man in black stepped forward at the same time, Xie Wuyi found the weakest one among them as a breakthrough, and the soft whip quickly swept towards his front door.
Driven by the soft whip, the man wailed loudly and stood unsteadily, and even the formation with the others loosened somewhat.
Xie Wuyi broke out of the formation, and it was not a smart person to do a dozen or ten, if it weren't for Zhong Yu behind her, she would have fled along the bushes. Xie Wuyi's original intention was to get out of the formation first, and then break through from behind one by one when the other party rushed to Zhong Yu, but she didn't expect the wind to be under her feet, and the wind behind her was tighter.
Two darts flew past his ears, and Xie Wuyi reacted suddenly.
Dead soldiers!
She's the one they're going to kill!
Immediately after, a name came to mind.
Chu Yufeng is the secretary of the military department, it shouldn't be difficult to arrange some manpower in the Forbidden Garden, right?
Xie Wuyi was furious, she found a stocky shrub and jumped up, and at the same time raised the middle finger of her left hand slightly, releasing the poison that had not been used in the smoke for a long time, and let them all slide onto the silver needle and soft whip.
It's really life-threatening, of course, how to save effort.
Chu Yufeng, you forced me.
The wind blew the dark purple mantle, and the hunt rattled. She looked condescendingly at the Assassins who surrounded her, almost crushing her silver fangs.
As people approached, Xie Wuyi shook the soft whip violently, and the outermost leaflets of the bushes attacked everyone as if they had eyes. The night was dark, they thought it was a hidden weapon, and instinctively intercepted it, and at this time, Xie Wuyi's second wave of attacks had arrived.
The soft whip has sharp hook spines on the outside, perhaps Zhong Yu doesn't know how to use them, and some of the thorns are already rusty. Xie Wuyi swung his soft whip, wrapped in a buzzing air flow and slashed into the crowd, the opponent's attack had been slowed down by the bush leaves, and now the soft whip against her was suddenly overstretched.
Assassins who can infiltrate the Royal Forbidden Garden must use short weapons and hidden weapons, which are just right for soft whip attacks. Unlike in the Guanyin Temple, where you need to wrap up the long knife to get it out, you can now avoid the blade as long as you hit the weapon itself. What's more, her soft whip has already been poisoned, and once it is contaminated, she will be able to get twice the result with half the effort.
Although she successfully eliminated the relatively slow few people, after all, they were outnumbered, Xie Wuyi knew that she must not fight for a long time, and in order to unload their weapons just now, her arms and legs had already been painted, and she was ready to withdraw from the formation again.
However, this time Xie Wuyi failed to get his wish, and the rest of the elites cooperated more and more tacitly, and their methods were extremely ruthless, making it clear that they wanted to put her to death. The darts were fired in turns, weaving through the air into an impenetrable web, ready to trap her inside. Xie Wuyi was completely unaware of the pain in his body, and only focused on the changes in the airflow and cold light around his body, and once the darts were gathered, he used a soft whip to block them.
I don't know how many rounds of fighting, but there were finally not many darts left in the Assassin's hands. As they picked up their blades and swung them at her, Xie Wuyi counted the right time to lower his body, covering himself with the darkness of the night and his cloak, and with a wave of his left hand, the silver shimmer was pulled by the soft whip and flew from his fingertips.
As soon as the smoke came out, there was no false occurrence.
Xie Wuyi was tired and out of strength, grabbed a short knife from the ground, and re-examined the dozen or so corpses on the ground before stumbling back to Zhong Yu's side.
Zhong Yu looked at her as if he was looking at a ghost.
Xie Wuyi's mouth was full of saltiness, and she was just about to tell Zhong Yu that she was safe for the time being, when she saw her face turn pale and shrink to the ground. Xie Wuyi tried to call her, but Zhong Yue was covered in sweat and kept twitching, unable to answer at all.
"Hurt ......"
Xie Wuyi felt strange and hurriedly leaned under Zhong Yu, but only felt a sticky coldness.
"Zhong Yu?"
Not sure if there were any assassins, Xie Wuyi couldn't hold on to finding a way in the forest with Zhong Yu, who had a miscarriage, at night. There was no way, Xie Wuyi could only forcibly set up Zhong Yu, staggered for a long time, and found a relatively hidden cave. She wrapped her cloak around Zhong Yu, and then took the time to examine her wounds.
I didn't feel anything when I was concentrating on fighting, this would stop, Xie Wuyi suddenly felt dizzy, and his whole body hurt hotly, especially his right shoulder, the injury was visible to the bone, and he didn't know if the weapons of those people were poisonous or not.
Beside him is Zhong Yu, who has a miscarriage and fainting, and his pulse is messy, Xie Wuyi has no experience and doesn't know what to do. She was so cold and hungry that she couldn't even make a fire or go out to find something to eat, so she had to wait until dawn.
Xiao Wei.
Usually I always want to kick him out three feet away, but this is the first time Xie Wuyi is looking forward to him.
She herself is fine, she will endure it and it will pass, but Zhong Yue will be in danger if she delays any longer.
Xie Wuyi gritted his teeth and moved to Zhong Yu's side, snuggling up to her to keep warm. When Zhong Yu's breathing finally calmed down, Xie Wuyi picked up a wide leaf and began to clean the poison from the soft whip.
The bayonet turned, the hook retracted, and the whole soft whip was mixed into one, like a dragon.
Xie Wuyi opened his mouth, as if calling for an old friend who had been reunited after a long absence.
"Candle bones."
This is Hua Feidu's birthday gift to her, and it is also the most handy weapon she sold in order to raise money for Hua Feidu to heal her injuries when she traveled in Daliang at the age of sixteen-
A candle bone like no other in the world.
Xie Wuyi didn't know why it was in Zhong Yu's hands, but it was worth it to let it fight with him again. She hugged the candle bones and smiled tiredly.
I don't know how long it took to finally see the warm morning light outside the cave.
It also brought heavy footsteps.
Xie Wuyi was ecstatic. She was about to speak, but she could not be contained.
No, there is a problem with the sound.
In fact, now Xie Wuyi has a fever and can't move at all, and what's even worse is that the silver needles and drugs in her smoke have been used up. But there is no way, Zhong Yu is still here, she can't leave her and run away. Xie Wuyi touched the candle bone and phoenix marrow, endured the dotted spots of light in front of him, and slowly stood up, moving to the backlight of the cave.
One foot into the cave, and even more advanced than it was a knife that shimmered with cold light.
The candle bone didn't have time to make a move, Xie Wuyi's heart was crossed, and he turned over and pounced on him and knocked him out of the cave.
Tumbling a few times on the grass, the knife and candle bones gone, Xie Wuyi finally saw the man's face, which was the assassin she had fought off the night before.
He had become a one-eyed dragon, but he had survived by luck, and Xie Wuyi had forgotten about him in his eagerness to solve it last night. He probably spent half the night in the bushes, trying to find a place to hide, but he happened to run into Xie Wuyi.
The battle was too fierce last night, and Xie Wuyi used all his strength to wangle his legs, but he no longer had the strength to fight hand-to-hand. After all, it was a man, and the other party's physical strength was obviously stronger than Xie Wuyi. He grabbed Xie Wuyi's neck with one hand, and twisted her left hand with the other. Xie Wuyi was close to suffocating, and he couldn't hook out the smoke, so he could only use his seriously injured right arm to find the phoenix pith that was cushioned under him, and smashed it towards the back of his head.
The man was in pain, and a burning heat flowed down his neck to Xie Wuyi's face. He roared like crazy, desperate to strangle her to death.
The blow of the phoenix marrow consumed the last of Xie Wuyi's strength, and now she couldn't even struggle.
The pain in my chest was terrible, and the scene in front of me was blurring. Xie Wuyi gasped for breath, his legs hung down weakly, and the phoenix pith fell off his hands.
Probably...... There's no way to continue investigating the case.
However, he died on the way to explore, and he took more than a dozen people with him.
Dad, my daughter did her best......
