Chapter 371 Headhunter
"Are you coming or am I coming?"
Since he saw that the Nantian Academy Sect Cultivator and the previous Qingju general Yang Kun dared to show up after being defeated, there must be a special method, but Lin Yi thought that he was wearing the Heavenly Treasure Clothes, and those strange True Yuan methods did not work for him, so he was not too worried, and just asked softly.
"Who are you?"
However, Ni Yunshan looked at the man in black, but her eyebrows gradually frowned, she didn't answer Lin Yi's words first, but asked the man in black.
The man in black raised his eyebrows indifferently and asked rhetorically: "Like that Qingju general, can you say it after the fight?"
"Although the Qingju general didn't say it at first, I roughly knew his identity and what grievances he had between him and the Sword Pavilion. Ni Yunshan frowned and looked at the man in black and said, "As for you, I think you are very similar to someone I have heard of, but I don't understand what the relationship between you and the Sword Pavilion is. ”
Ni Yunshan's expression was very solemn.
This seemed anomalous to everyone around me.
This shows that this seemingly ordinary man in black should be very unusual.
The man in black was silent for a moment and said, "I'm Yu Hate Shui." ”
"Hate the water?"
When he said his name, at least half of the practitioners present thought it was familiar, but for a moment they couldn't remember where they had heard it.
"Residual hatred of water... A headhunter in Sizhou?"
While these people were still confused, there were already people around them who were in disbelief, and even cried out with some fear.
Then there were more gasps.
Those young cultivators who had only thought that their names were familiar before, when they heard the words Sizhou Headhunter, they suddenly fell into an ice cave, and they couldn't connect these words with the man in black in front of them.
Western Yuzhou, Sizhou, Guangzhou, Huazhou, Huaizhou, which were used to be called the five northern states by the Southern Dynasties, whether in the previous dynasty or now, on the territory of the Southern Dynasties, these five states are undisputed as the territory of the Southern Dynasties, but the Northern Dynasties may not recognize it.
In the past hundred years, many of the cities in the five northern states in the eyes of the Southern Dynasty have changed hands many times, and even in the most peaceful times, when the border armies on both sides have maintained the most restrained attitude, there will still be many battles.
Many of the cultivation sites of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and even many of the most elite armies, regarded many places in the Northern Five Prefectures as testing grounds during practice and selection, and some of the noble clans in the Northern Five Prefectures, because of the countless grievances in history, even if some of them have moved to the interior of the Southern Dynasties, they will also take a large amount of money and some cultivation resources that are very important to the cultivators every year to offer rewards.
Since the beginning of the previous dynasties, there have been some cultivators in the Northern Five Prefectures and the Northern Wei Dynasty, specializing in assassinating those Northern Wei people who have offered high rewards to the noble clan.
The best of these people are known as headhunters.
Whether these people are walking alone or in groups of three or five, they can exert very terrifying combat effectiveness, unlike the vast majority of cultivators in the army, who mainly kill ordinary soldiers, these people are all hunting and killing generals and cultivators of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
These people are known as the demons of the night, and in order to hunt down some difficult targets, they can even sleep in the open for months, like wild beasts, looking for a chance to kill.
Their willpower can be compared with some cultivators with unusual combat methods, and headhunters who can be known to the outside world generally have proud records.
Ni Yunshan's gaze fell on his left waist.
There was a hilt made of horns.
This is a short knife, but ordinary practitioners hang the knife on their waist at most, but this person hides the blade in his clothes, leaving only the handle outside.
The handle of the horn knife had been soaked with sweat and grease from the palm of the palm like topaz, and some very rough lines on the handle were just to prevent slipping, and it was such a knife that made her guess the identity of this person.
"You are also famous in the Northern Five States, but as far as I know, you are famous because you have succeeded in winning the bounty when you were fourteen years old, and before that you were an ordinary shepherd. What kind of grievances do you have with the Sword Pavilion?" she asked, still frowning.
"I really don't have any grudges with the Sword Pavilion, I'm not here to fight you. ”
Yu Hatshui raised her head, looked at Lin Yi behind her, and said, "I want to fight with Lin Yi." ”
"Why?" asked Ni Yunshan.
"I've not been a headhunter since last fall, I failed to kill someone, and then I was rescued. I will fight him to repay my kindness. Yu Hatshui naturally touched the handle of the knife on his waist, and then said.
"It's just such a thing as repaying the favor, so whether you agree to fight with you or not depends on him. Ni Yunshan simply stepped aside.
Lin Yi heard the conversation between her and Yu Hatshui very clearly.
"Who wants to teach me a lesson? Let a headhunter come over, do you want to tell me that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world?" Lin Yi smiled self-deprecatingly, he was also very simple, looked at Yu Hatshui and said: "It's no problem to fight with me, it's just that you have to tell me who the master behind you is." ”
Yu Hatshui thought about it, since he had already been in contact with Li Moxiao, it was impossible to keep it a secret about himself and who was behind him, so he looked at Lin Yi's eyes and said softly: "Someone has warned you a long time ago... As a result, you didn't listen, that's why you're in the Tiece Army. ”
Lin Yi raised his head.
He couldn't help but shake his head.
Xiao family.
"This father-in-law, do you still think that there are not enough things in the border army?
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly in sarcasm, and he couldn't help but want to say this sentence out loud.
Just thinking about saying this, it didn't seem to be very good to Xiao Shufei, so he stubbornly held this sentence in his stomach.
"Interesting?"
He looked at the shop where Yu Hatshui came out and said, "It's very boring." ”
Then he bowed slightly to Yu Hatshui and said, "You can start." ”
For the headhunters in the Northern Five States, not only him, but even his father is very respectful.
Although most of these people are purely for money and profit, they are really exchanged for their lives, and it is impossible for the cultivators of the Northern Wei Border Army to go deep into the enemy territory to kill the characters, many of them died at the hands of these headhunters.
In a sense, the exploits of these headhunters are also amazing.
"You're careful. ”
Yu Hatshui also bowed, and after he got up, his right hand fell to the hilt on the left side of his body, but his left arm was raised.
Snorted twice, and the sound of breaking the air instantly remembered.
A crossbow arrow and a flying needle shot from an arm crossbow shot towards Lin Yi like a meteor.
The bolt and the needle shoot at about the same time, but the needle is a bit faster than the boom.
The flying needle shot at Lin Yi's eyebrows, but the crossbow arrow fell under Lin Yi's Adam's apple.
Although this kind of straight flying needle and crossbow arrow was insidious, it was too slow for Lin Yi's perception, and there was no change.
Naturally, he made a mistake with his feet and did not swing his sword, and he had already avoided the oncoming crossbow arrows and throwing needles.
At the same time, however, the bolt that had just flown past his side suddenly exploded.
Bang.
This seemingly ordinary wood-pole crossbow suddenly exploded into a ball of blue fire!
Lin Yi was taken aback.
He smelled the thick smell of bibi in his mouth and nose, and the moment his body subconsciously exerted force, the moment he flew to one side to avoid it, many fine holes had been burned on his clothes, one side of his hair was burned, and his cheeks were hot and painful.
At this moment, in the floating dust on the ground behind him, a sword light quietly swept up.
This sword light is hidden in the floating dust, and it looks very insidious when it is hidden, but when it flies out, it is very open, just pursuing speed.
Lin Yi didn't care about the flames stained on his hair, he snorted softly, turned around, and swung his sword.
When there was a bang.
This flying sword was slashed out by him.
At this moment, the black clothes on Yu Hatshui's body had exploded.
The exploding black shirt pounced in front of him like a ghost.
The mezzanine of this black shirt is constantly sprayed with black powder.
The black powder turned into a black mist as the wind howled behind them.
In the black mist, there was a strong smell of lead and mercury.
(Happy New Year, all the best, greetings to everyone.) )
