Chapter 33: Ambush in Bluestone Alley
The shopkeeper sent Murong Yu out of the gate of the Treasure Pavilion.
It was nearly dusk, the twilight was vast, the red sun was falling in the west, and the sky was blurry.
The bluestone alley is still crowded with people, as if it has not been affected by the weather at all.
Saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, Murong Yu walked straight forward and walked in another direction, which was not the direction he had passed when he arrived.
He chose to continue walking, and after walking forward, a narrow path appeared in front of him.
Although the path is narrow, it is also possible to pass three or four people side by side.
This path was what he learned from the shopkeeper's mouth, it was a shortcut, a shortcut back to the inn, and few people knew about it, so he didn't have to worry about being too crowded, and the more he went, the more scarce the people became.
The trees on both sides are numerous, the flowers and plants are gorgeous, the fragrance is fragrant, and the scenery is pleasant, which can be described as winding paths, and it is not an exaggeration.
As he was walking, Murong Yu's brows couldn't help frowning, he felt that this path was too quiet, even a little too quiet, there were no birds, no insects, and even except for the sound of the wind, it was silent, and no one walked by at all.
Obviously this is an unreasonable existence, and it is also obviously abnormal.
The more this was the case, the more he felt that the atmosphere was weird, but he didn't know what the problem was, and he couldn't help but cheer up.
Suddenly, he felt a strange smell coming to his nose, a rich floral aroma mixed with a faint fishy smell, which obviously shouldn't be in this place.
This smell is very similar to the book records, a kind of poison that prevails in the coastal zone, called 'Suo Ming San', often used to fight against the rogue pirates in the coastal zone, the poison is like a longan, the color is pure white, and the smell is like fish in the water, the poison is extremely violent, if the middle cannot be cured in time, it will definitely die.
And this poison, often smeared on arrows, can often have unexpected effects when people are unprepared, and can inadvertently kill people and kill people invisibly.
Since Murong Yu had discovered this situation, he categorically could not be ambushed by this again. Otherwise, wouldn't it seem that he was very stupid?
Even if it was really his wrong judgment, he was not willing to accept a wrong judgment.
Although these poisons did not cause him much harm, he could not let it go.
Judging from the smell on the tip of his nose, the person in the shadows was already very close to him, and the arrow was about to be fired, and the assassination without warning was about to begin.
He would rather believe that this was a wrong judgment, he would rather it was just a false alarm that he was nervous about, but he did not dare to bet on the accuracy of this matter, so he had to make a choice, even if it was just a wrong decision, he had to give it a go.
Murong Yu stopped and said in the distance, "Come out, I've already found you." ”
The person hiding in the shadows seemed to be very calm and didn't respond to him, or maybe the person hiding in the shadows just felt that Murong Yu was just deceiving him and testing him at this time.
"Since you don't come out, then I'll blame my men for showing no mercy. As he spoke, Murong Yu's toes moved towards the ground, and his figure flew up suddenly.
The long sword in his hand was unsheathed, without any hesitation, and immediately pulled a sword flower, the sword flower flew and flashed with sword light in the sky, the virtual and the real corresponded, and the real was hidden in the void, fast as a meteor in the direction where the fishy smell came, and a grass bush not far away stabbed it, but it was also a look, comparable to the first-class master in the rivers and lakes.
Just as Murong Yu was about to stab the target, an arrow flew out of the grass, and the momentum was swift and whistling, shooting straight at the door in front of him.
Obviously, the assassin hiding in the grass also discovered that Murong Yu had already made a move, and reacted immediately, although this arrow was ready to be fired at any time, he couldn't help but look a little flustered at this moment.
It was a stunning. Although it was an arrow fired in panic, the power did not fade at all.
Murong Yu hurriedly turned around, turned over in half of the space, and narrowly avoided the oncoming arrow, and the arrow passed by, making people shudder.
Just before Murong Yu was about to fall down, another arrow behind him took the opportunity to shoot over, and the momentum was even more amazing and swift.
This is a deliberate arrow.
This arrow is just right in terms of timing and timing.
It's all well thought out and rigorously calculated.
It not only helped his teammates solve the dilemma, but also brought some trouble to the enemy in front of him.
Apparently, there was more than one Assassin ambush here. Otherwise, there would not have been a situation of front and back attacks at this moment.
Murong Yu was not in a hurry, the long sword in his hand danced and flashed with silver light, slashing straight at the arrows shot behind him.
Before he could cut off the arrow behind him, a pitch-black figure stood out of the grass just now, and another arrow shot out and approached.
Murong Yu's sword style changed slightly, as if a big net was spread out, without any hesitation on his feet, his footwork was exquisite and ghostly like smoke, dodging again and again, this was like an arrow shot like a maggot on the tarsal bone.
The more Murong Yu's sword style danced, the more the sword moves became more and more tightly defended, and although the arrows were menacing, they were all slashed and scattered all over the place by the sword qi, and Murong Yu was faintly in a state of madness at this moment.
Seeing that Murong Yu's sword-style defense is like a turtle shell, there is not the slightest flaw, and it is impossible to shoot through the defense at all, and the bow and arrow ambush is obviously ineffective, no matter how many arrows are shot, I am afraid that it will not be able to do so, it is all in vain, and it is meaningless.
The two assassins had no choice but to abandon the longbow in their hands, as if they were in the same mind, and at the same time, their bodies flew up and drew their swords, slashing towards Murong Yu, and the front and back pinching were very tacitly coordinated.
The sword style of the two is exquisite, the sword qi moves are one by one, each sees the same, one is fast and one is slow, both defensive and offensive, and the two sword strikes faintly complement each other.
It is not difficult to see that this is a set of combined fencing moves, the sword style is tight, the advance and retreat complement each other, one defense and one attack, complement each other's advantages and disadvantages, and cooperate quite tacitly.
It is true that this is not the first time that these two people have cooperated, and for a while, with their exquisite and intricate sword moves, Murong Yu felt under pressure, and he couldn't see any flaws in this sword move.
It is not difficult to guess that after a long period of cooperation between these two people, I am afraid that they have already practiced this set of combined attack techniques to the realm of fire and pure love, and the familiar ones can no longer be familiar.
It is clear that these are two rather experienced and well-trained assassins.
Murong Yu retreated while blocking, his figure flashed sharply one after another, and he retreated back again and again, without any hesitation, and he didn't dare to touch it with force, and countless ways to crack it flashed in his mind, and he rehearsed and calculated in his mind while resisting.
If it was obvious that he was fighting for internal strength, Murong Yu would have no way to compare with the two people in front of him, and he would not have any advantage.
Therefore, he can only look for opportunities, shoot at the most opportune time, and seek to hit the first blow.
Only in this way can he get out of the way.
The so-called "avoiding its edge and attacking its weak brigade" is this principle.
For a while, the sword style roared and raged, and the flowers and plants everywhere were injured by the sword qi, and they flew all over the sky with the breeze, but they also looked very good.
However, at this moment, no one has the heart to appreciate this wonderful scene, and no one has the opportunity to appreciate it at all.
The two assassins saw Murong Yu blocking and retreating, not daring to resist this series of attacks at all, and they could guess what he was thinking at the moment, it was obvious that Murong Yu was delaying time, otherwise he was waiting for foreign aid, or he was waiting for the opportunity to make a move.
Obviously, they didn't want to give Murong Yu any respite.
