Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Hand of Shadows
The figure unfolded, and the old man's figure turned into a blurred streamer, moving forward rapidly.
The verandahs, trees, rockeries, and flowers in the mansion have all become his best cover, and coupled with the shrouding of night, the old man dressed in black seems to blend perfectly with the surrounding environment, making it difficult for people to detect his traces.
Dozens of breaths of time are fleeting.
After turning a courtyard wall, the old man's figure fluttered like a ghost, like a tanuki, and he quickly rushed up to a tall building.
As strong as he is, the speed of moving forward is extremely fast, even if he needs to dodge a detour on the way, it doesn't take too much time for a second.
The tall building here is already very close to the direction of the moonlight pink, after climbing the tall building, the old man stands close to a beam, his eyes narrowed, and he looks around: "Let's observe first, and then make the next step." â
Taking out the dark green lens from his bosom, the old man put the lens in front of him again, and looked around, but saw a bright yellow light in a courtyard not far away.
This bright yellow light was emitted by the moonlight powder, and the old man was now looking at it from a high place, and the observation was naturally very clear. By now, he knew exactly where the target was, and at a distance of hundreds of meters, he could see the scene in the courtyard at a glance.
At this moment, it was the second half of the night, and the courtyard was completely lit and dark, but one room emitted an extremely dazzling bright yellow light.
The old man sneered in his heart: "With moonshine powder to guide the way, who can get rid of my tracking? â
A team of seven or eight guards guarding outside the courtyard was all a group of low-level martial artists, and the old man didn't pay attention to it at all.
After carefully observing the situation in the courtyard, the old man breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then there was a burst of joy and complacency: "With this kind of guard force, it seems that Brent's status in the Edra family is not very high. Even if you live in the inner courtyard, if you meet the old man, you will die wherever you hide. â
Under the joy, the old man no longer hesitated, stretched out his arms, and his body was like a winged roc, floating down from the tall building. Since he was going to make a move, he no longer wasted time, and was ready to solve the target in an instant with the power of thunder, and then quickly retreated.
The night wind is howling, and the shadows of the trees are shaking. As soon as the old man's figure appeared, he was noticed by a team of guards guarding outside the courtyard. In the middle of the night, a black suit appeared, and he rushed straight at him with a fierce momentum, as long as he was not a fool, he knew that the person who came was friend or foe.
The eight guards were immediately like a great enemy, their weapons in their hands formed a formation, and the whistle of warning came from far away.
Seeing this, the five Dharma protectors who were lying in ambush around the courtyard did not move, and it was not yet time for them to make a move. Since it is an ambush, it is natural to wait for the enemy to enter the trap before it can be caught off guard.
Facing the figure of the old man approaching quickly, the eight guards rushed forward together, the light of various combat skills bloomed, and the offensive became a tacit understanding, one wave after another, quite a bit of continuity.
However, the old man seemed to be disdainful of the offensive in front of him, his eyes were not shocked, and his figure did not avoid the slightest evasion.
Just when the eight fierce and fierce attacks were about to bombard his body, the old man's footsteps quickly connected to the ground, and his rickety body seemed to turn into a wisp of flying smoke, passing through the eight attacks like a needle.
The guards were shocked, and hurriedly wanted to gather the offensive again, but the old man who was already approaching would not give them this opportunity.
With a snort, the arm was slightly poplar, the cold light flashed, there were a few muffled sounds, and blood splashed, but it was the three guards who were cut by the old man in a moment.
The three corpses fell to the ground, and the bloody qi was blown by the wind and dispersed far away.
The remaining five guards looked horrified and retreated in a panic, and within a few minutes of the battle, three were killed, the hot blood still steaming from itself, and it was only at last that they could see that the weapon they were using was a scimitar.
The five old men who retreated one after another ignored it, and now that time is pressing, it is not worth wasting on these small miscellaneous fish. He scurried with his steps, holding a short scimitar, and rushed into the courtyard like an arrow from a string, heading straight for the room where the bright yellow light shone.
As he walked forward, the old man also had doubts in his heart: "There was such a big commotion, why didn't that kid Brent come out to take a look?"
However, at this moment, time is pressing, and the old man doesn't have time to think about it, what the reason is, he can't see it when he goes in.
As his mind turned, the old man's figure was approaching the front of the room, and he kept walking, and a knife fell on the tightly closed door. With a touch of silver light, it was like a crescent moon hanging upside down, and the thick door was torn apart into sawdust and scattered with a clatter.
However, at the moment when the door shattered, the old man's heart suddenly throbbed, and a strong sense of crisis made him feel like falling into an ice cave.
Without thinking about it, the old man paused, and his body just wanted to fly away, but suddenly, a little cold light appeared from the scattered sawdust.
Without any hindrance, before the sound of breaking the sky could be completely heard, the cold light that flashed in the sky pierced into the old man's body fiercely.
Suddenly, a flying knife of an inch size was inserted into the old man's chest, and half of the handle of the knife went deep into his chest, and if he deviated a little further, it hit his heart.
"Hand of Shadow, Hawke. The old man's face was horrified, and his heart jumped, thinking of this person.
At the moment, he was pale, and he didn't care to look at the enemy, so he stomped his feet and retreated.
But as soon as his body flew into the air, a burst of dazzling light suddenly came from all around, and five extremely powerful attacks roared in, and the attack was extremely tricky, covering the old man's whole body.
However, it was the five long-hidden Dharma Protectors who suddenly appeared, seized the good opportunity, and launched a powerful attack together.
The rise and fall of the rabbit that happened in an instant, as strong as the old man's middle-level 4 storage zĂ i, is now also in a critical situation.
The death crisis that had not been seen in a long time was born from the bottom of his heart, and the old man had a complicated expression of disbelief and anger on his face.
He never expected that he would be planted in an assassination that was nine times out of ten, and the other party had already set up an ambush waiting for him to enter the urn.
"Amy, what the hell is going on?" the old man roared angrily, his hair open, but at this moment, the crisis did not allow him to think too much, and five powerful attacks were about to blast in front of him.
"Reincarnation Blade!" In the face of the attack of five middle-level martial artists, the old man did not dare to hold it up, he was injured at the moment, and he had to get through this level first no matter what.
As soon as this Pu made a move, the old man displayed his mid-level combat skills, and his power shook the mountains and the earth.
The scimitar in his hand was thrown out abruptly, turning into a circle of roulette and light and shadow circling in the air, and the old man's figure also landed and stood firm at this moment.
The cyan light was like mist, and a circle of sharp giant roulette suddenly emerged from the air, and strips of energy swords like the Milky Way were hanging upside down from the roulette wheel.
A huge coercion swept in all directions, sand and rocks flew around the courtyard, and the ground was hit by the strong energy and rolled like waves.
The fierce attack of the five Dharma protectors only stopped abruptly in front of the old man, and under the cover of the giant roulette wheel, the overwhelming sharp blades flew down like a galaxy waterfall, and it was a question of whether he could retreat safely if he was attacked.
"It's a mid-level skill. A purple-clothed protector gritted his teeth and said, his body was completely shrouded by the sword at this moment, as if he was in a sea formed by the sword qi, which was the skill attack he had used before, and now he could only barely protect himself.
"While this person's skill offensive is not yet fully launched, let's retreat quickly, otherwise we will suffer heavy losses. A black-robed Dharma protector on the side hurriedly said, this was only a moment's work, and the corners of his mouth were already bleeding. The endless stream of knives was stronger than the other, and the direct hit made him tremble, if he carried it again, I am afraid that he would really have to finish the game.
Under such a violent sword shroud, the other three Dharma Protectors were also shocked, and the idea of retreating sprouted in their hearts.
"Want to go, the old man will let you enjoy the pain. The resentful words came out of the old man's mouth, and he was injured in such a trap, if he didn't recover some interest on these five people, it would be really difficult for him to swallow this breath.
And the most important thing is that Hawke, who had injured him with the knife, hid from the sidelines and watched, so that the old man did not dare to make the slightest move. It is also delusional to want to get out and retreat as soon as possible, so you can only stay where you are and respond to all changes.
The blue light of his hands appeared, and between the old man's void slight grip, the slowly rotating giant roulette wheel suddenly stopped, and the swords gushing out of the roulette wheel were also much thinner.
Seeing this, the five Dharma Protectors were overjoyed and wanted to take the opportunity to retreat. But I saw the old man's palm suddenly pressed down, and the giant roulette wheel smashed down fiercely.
The raging energy soared, and the dense swords around the giant roulette wheel appeared, and before they could completely land, the overflowing sharp swords forced the five Dharma protectors to the point that they were unbearable, and two of them spurted blood, and their faces turned pale.
"Five garbage-like things, even if the old man is injured, it's not something you can shake. The old man looked at the five people under the roulette wheel with a playful expression, and then looked at the house on the side with some fear, and just now Hawk was hiding in the room, and he was caught off guard by a knife.
At the moment when the old man's eyes moved to the room, suddenly three swishing sounds of sharp weapons breaking through the air sounded behind him.
"Not good...!" the old man's heart was cold, and without hesitation, his body quickly rushed to the ground, but a sharp pain accompanied by a huge impact still swept through his body in an instant.
With a thud, the old man's body fell to the ground, and two bloody arrows shot out of his body.
After a closer look, two flying knives were inserted into the old man's body, one pierced into the shoulder, and the other pierced directly through the chest, the handle of the knife did not enter the body, and two hideous blood holes appeared, and blood flowed out happily.
The thrilling scene just now, if it weren't for the old man's timely reaction and dodging the deadliest third flying knife, I'm afraid he would have lost any combat effectiveness by now.
"Ahhh The old man hissed and staggered up from the ground, blood spurted from his mouth, and the masked scarf was torn off by him, and his face was hideous.
After being attacked again and again without the power to resist, the old man was almost mad at this moment, his eyes were red, and the anger in his heart seemed to turn into real anger and burn him.
