223 Sneak Attackers
With a "whoosh", a crossbow arrow flew from behind, pointing directly at Ye Shuhan's heart on horseback. Although the crossbow arrow is sharp, it also makes people vigilant, only to see Ye Yuhan's left hand grabbed back at will, and he already held the arrow body, the strength was revealed, and the crossbow arrow folded into four sections by itself. At this moment, the horse had stopped, Ye Jihan turned around and looked back, there were a few thick poplar trees on the side of the road a hundred feet away, and the weeds around him were knee-high.
A man stood under a tree with a bow and crossbow, dressed in a straw coat, apparently disguised in the weeds, and only plotted when he was unsuspecting. This man is over sixty years old, his beard is gray, his left eye seems to be blinded, only an irregular flesh hole remains, and a scar on the corner of his right eye stabs obliquely, which is even more hideous. The man watched Ye Jihan drive his horse towards him, but he didn't move, he knew in his heart that Ye Jihan could easily grab the sudden arrow from Fang Cai's back, and it was pointless to release the arrow in front of him.
Ye Jihan looked at the one-eyed man in front of him and said, "Are you waiting for me?"
Sweat oozed from the one-eyed man's forehead, and he shook his head hurriedly.
"Then you're just trying to grab some money?" Ye Jihan said again.
The one-eyed man shook his head, then nodded.
Ye Jihan dismounted, walked up to the one-eyed man, and took the bow and crossbow from his hand, with an arrow on it that had been loaded and unfired. He could feel the fear of the one-eyed man, but was this man ambushed in the trail, really just for the money?
Ye Yuhan's left palm suddenly aimed at the one-eyed man's face and slapped out, before the palm arrived, the force took the lead, and the one-eyed man's hair and grass clothes seemed to be floating fiercely in the wind.
"Spare your life. The one-eyed man fell to his knees suddenly.
"So you're not dumb. Ye Jihan sighed, he really didn't like people kneeling in front of him, and even said that he hated the ritual of kneeling. Whether it is Nangong Ping, who has mastered the Nangong family, or the two heads of Wudang and Shaolin, or Mo Yunfan, the ruler of the Mo family. Ye Jihan only saw each other with a fist salute from the martial arts people, and as for kneeling, he did kneel, which was in front of the graves of his grandfather and parents.
After kneeling for a long time, the knees are bent, and it is difficult to stand up again, which is also servile, but many people understand this truth, or rather, they don't want to understand, after all, what you get by kneeling down is much easier than standing up straight and working hard.
The one-eyed man panicked: "Someone asked me to ambush here for three days, and all the passers-by I saw in the three days were shot." ”
The one-eyed man couldn't tell who the person who had ambushed him was, so naturally he had no way of knowing, but who knew that he would go from this road? Mo Yunfan? Although Ye Jihan changed the road at will, it was easy for Mo Yunfan to ambush all the roads. It's no wonder why Mo Yunfan had to make a move after he left the Jingxuan Palace, and he took so much pain? Thinking of this, Ye Jihan dispelled his suspicions about Mo Yunfan, after all, it was more beneficial to him to live than to die, in such a world where interests are paramount, no one would easily kill someone who could help him.
If it weren't for Mo Yunfan, who would be the people under him? Ye Jihan thought back to the people he had seen recently, and after thinking about it, he felt that although those people wanted to kill him, they had not yet reached the point where he dared to send people directly. At this time, Ye Jihan remembered Gu Yizhi. Gu Yizhi is said to have returned to Jingxuan Palace early, why didn't he see him, did he deliberately avoid him, and prepared for today's assassination show? But assassination, why didn't he send his martial arts masters, but all of them were people who didn't have the slightest combat effectiveness? This made Ye Jihan very puzzled.
With a "whoosh", the crossbow arrow flew out and shot at Ye Jihan's jaw at close range, at the same time, the one-eyed man's legs were forced, his body turned backwards, two ups and downs, and two arrows were shot, one arrow was shot at Ye Jihan, and one arrow was shot at Ye Jihan's mount, and his people were already more than ten zhang away. When Ye Jihan heard the sound of crossbow arrows, his body instinctively rose from the ground, faster than the crossbow arrows, and his left foot rose sideways to kick the crossbow arrows away. And the second one had already flown in, Ye Jihan didn't think about it, the force rushed through his palms, and he launched it together, and the crossbow arrows had been smashed into hundreds of sections.
The one-eyed man's light skills are very good, and when Ye Jihan landed, his person had disappeared from Ye Jihan's field of vision. Ye Jihan didn't stop, and chased in the direction where he disappeared, and here, there was only one horse left with an arrow in the head, whimpering and struggling, and it seemed that he couldn't survive.
The path that Ye Jihan walked was a shortcut through the four cities to Jingxuan Palace, while the terrain of Xingyuan City was mostly uncertain, with mountains, ravines, and a few hills. And beside this short road, that is, five miles away from the direction where the one-eyed people mostly fled, there was a valley, where an ambush could be hidden, and it was easy to hide a person. Ye Jihan wanted to stop the one-eyed man before he reached the mountain, but as for whether there were ambushes in the valley, Ye Jihan didn't care.
The one-eyed man's light skills are naturally inferior to Ye Jihan, so Ye Jihan quickly saw his figure, to be precise, his body, his head hanging on the branch next to him, his one-eyed eyes widened, staring at Ye Jihan angrily. The blood was flowing vigorously at the fracture, staining a large patch of soil red above the neck.
The one-eyed man's wound was round and flat, he was cut off by a sharp weapon, and he couldn't tell whether it was a knife or a sword, but it was certain that the murderer's martial arts were not weak, and he should be the instigator behind the scenes. Ye Jihan looked around, there was no one, only the valley in the distance seemed to be a little weird.
In front of me is a hill three feet high, with vigorous vegetation and many vines on the ground, growing staggered and entwined all around, without the slightest pattern to speak of. With each step, there will be a dull 'rustle' sound, and when you go to the top, there is a slope, and there are no trees at the bottom of the slope, there is a thick layer of grass, and at the bottom of the slope, there is a male corpse, still with a separate head, but he still holds a knife in his left hand. The handle of the knife was made of pure gold, and there was a small skeleton on the top, and the eyes of the skeleton were two blood-red gemstones, which were of extraordinary texture.
Ghost Saint Sword King Fan Yichen - Seeing the handle of the knife, Ye Yuhan immediately thought of this person. Fan Yichen was originally a disciple of the Wudang faction, but later violated the rules and expelled him from the mountain gate and became a ranger. Ye Jihan also heard Xie Feiyan talk about it, Fan Yichen also joined Wuyimen for a period of time, Xie Feipeng disappeared after his death, and his self-created ghost saint knife technique is known for being ruthless and tricky, and he is also a second-rate character in the rivers and lakes. The reason why Ye Jihan knew him was that when Liang Ruofeng was discussing swordsmanship before, Liang Ruofeng talked about Fan Yichen and bluntly said that his swordsmanship had dozens of moves that were influenced by the ghost saint sword technique.
Fan Yichen was lying on the ground, his blood was still hot, his legs were very straight, the knife in his right hand was also held very tightly, and the index finger of his left hand was slightly stretched forward, pointing out that the direction was not far away, which was where his head was. The murderer naturally didn't go far, but he was able to kill Fan Yichen in such a short time, and without the slightest sound, his martial arts would not be bad, now it seems that whether the one-eyed man was killed by Fan Yichen or the person who killed Fan Yichen is no longer important, because there is only one person left in the know, Ye Yuhan walked forward, he firmly believed that he could find this murderer.
