Chapter 144: Ruthless
The Li family lives in Jianghua and is a big family in Jianghua Mansion.
Li family courtyard is several generations of ancestors continue to repair, gradually expand become, a grass and a tree are very orderly, between the pavilions and pavilions, not only separated by the fire lane, there is a lotus pond, but also prepare a variety of fire extinguishing things such as water tanks, water dragons and so on all year round.
After the fire started, many good hands hidden in the shadows, and the servants in the house, did not care about the ambush, and picked up all kinds of objects to put out the fire, but somehow, despite all the means, the fire became bigger and bigger, and the more it burned, the more it burned.
The chiefs in the pavilion were still calm at the beginning, and they did not move on the upper floor, and after a long time, the fire not only did not extinguish, but became more vigorous, and the shouts outside gradually became louder, and they could no longer hold their breath, and they walked down the attic one after another.
Bai Cheng and Lin Su were already hiding in the shadows before everyone went downstairs.
There were thirteen or fourteen people in the attic, led by an old man, about fifty or sixty years old, wearing an ochre red silk robe, wearing a green jade wrench on his hand, with a white face and a smile on his face, just like a pampered and well-maintained member, no one would have thought that he was actually a master of the Demon Gate, only a pair of eyes shot two cold lights from time to time, so that people knew that he was different.
In addition, the rest of the people were all dressed in black robes, covered with black veils, and each holding a sword in his hand, ready to fight at night.
As soon as the group went downstairs, a person dressed as a housekeeper rushed downstairs and said, "Master Qiqi, the attic in the southeast, northwest, and northwest corners suddenly caught fire, and it is suspected that someone deliberately set the fire." We have cast our hands to extinguish the fire, and the fire is about to be extinguished, please rest assured. ”
The old man in the ochre robe looked at him coldly and said, "This is a plan to scare the snakes, in order to lure all of you out, and you are all hooked." ”
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and quickly knelt down to admit his mistake.
The old man in the ochre robe said angrily: "What's the use of admitting his mistake now, I'm afraid that he has already taken advantage of the chaos to sneak into the mansion." ”
Speaking of this, he turned his head to the principals behind him and said, "You guys in groups of three, patrol the house, and don't fight if you find any traces of thieves, just send a signal." ”
The principals answered, and the trio dispersed.
Among the principals, there was a person holding a thick-backed knife in his hand, the knife was three feet long, the back was thick and the blade was thin, the blade was as white as snow, and the handle was as black as ink.
At the moment when he walked behind the old man, he kicked forward with his right foot, kicked back with his left leg, twisted his waist and abdomen, stretched out his arms, and clenched the three-foot thick back knife with both hands.
When the old man in the ochre robe heard the sound of the golden blade breaking through the air behind him, he knew that someone was sneaking up, but it was too late to dodge, so he could only slump down, grab his hands downward, and desperately rush forward, but the knife light came too fast and too fierce, Rao was so desperate, but he couldn't dodge this knife.
With a flash of the sword, a wound about two feet long and more than an inch deep was cut on his back, and blood suddenly gushed out like a waterfall.
The old man in the ochre robe roared and threw himself to the ground, and the other people around him reacted and attacked the knife-wielding man one after another.
The knife bearer's wrist flicked, blood splashed everywhere, and the knife body was not stained at all, it was still as bright as ever, and it was indeed a treasure knife.
He did not pursue the old man, nor did he hurry, and fought with everyone.
There was a scuffle in the field, Lin Su was still dumbfounded, and couldn't help asking, "Brother, why did they fight among themselves first?"
Bai Cheng shook his head and said, "They are not infighting, this knife-wielding man did not go downstairs with the Li family's principals, he hid behind the attic pillar just now, and when this group of people went downstairs, he followed the team silently. When the butler came to report, he took the opportunity to move behind the old man, so that he could get a single blow. ”
Lin Su was still dumbfounded and said, "This person is so bold. ”
Bai Cheng frowned and said: "It's indeed a ruthless hand, I'm afraid that this person is the thief." ”
Lin Su also nodded and said, "The elder brother is also very powerful, and he actually sees his every move." ”
Bai Cheng smiled and said: "It's just a trick of the rivers and lakes, although the martial arts of the Li family are high, but the experience of the rivers and lakes is too poor, so he was able to get it." ”
Lin Su also sighed and said, "Brother, this little trick of the rivers and lakes, but he will kill people." ”
The two were still whispering, and the winner had been decided in the field.
Although the knife wielding man's knife technique is not necessarily clever, the shooting efficiency is extremely high, the defense is calm, the air is impermeable, and if a knife is split, he will definitely see blood, and he will not work hard, so he will cut down all the principals of the Li family to the ground one by one.
The man with the knife was not in a hurry, and cut everyone to the ground one by one, and then slowly came to the old man in the ochre robe, and poked out with a knife and slashed at his neck.
The old man in the ochre robe was seriously injured by a knife just now, lost too much blood, lay on the ground, couldn't stand up, saw him coming over to do something, and hurriedly said: "You have been hit by my great soul searcher, if there is no antidote, you will definitely die of yin energy!"
The knife-wielder sneered, but did not answer, and the long knife in his hand did not stop at all.
The old man in the ochre robe was shocked and wanted to resist, but there was no blade in his hand, so he could only use his empty hand to catch it, the knife light slashed, and his left hand fell to the ground with his wrist.
The old man in the ochre robe screamed in pain, the corners of his eyes were almost bloodshot, and he shouted, "Don't you want to die?"
The knife wielder ignored it, shook off the blood stains on the knife, and slashed his left foot with another backhand.
The old man in the ochre robe seemed to have succumbed, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, threw it far away, and said: "The antidote is in the bottle, you take the antidote and go, go around my life!"
The knife-wielding man turned to leave, as if he was going to pick up the medicine bottle, but the moment he turned around, his right arm shook suddenly, and the knife light was like electricity, cutting towards the old man's neck.
The old man in the ochre robe was frightened, raised his hand to strike, and was about to fight desperately, when a white light flew out of his sleeve and struck at the door of the knife-wielding man. The knife-wielding man staggered slightly, and the white light hit the air, only knocking the black veil off his face. The man with the knife showed no mercy, and cut off the head of the old man in the ochre robe with a single sword.
Blood spurted out and sprinkled in the courtyard, like a splash of ink.
Bai Cheng saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a chill, this knife-wielding man's martial arts are not enough, but it is also a level of qi training, but this murderous and unblinking heart is rare in the world.
After the knife wielder killed the old man, he slowly swallowed and picked up the medicine bottle, but did not leave, but turned to the hidden place of Bai Cheng and Lin Suhuan, and said in a muffled voice: "The two of you have watched the excitement for so long, don't you plan to come out to chat?"
The embers of the Li family courtyard were not extinguished, and under the firelight, the faces of the knife-wielding people were clear.
Bai Cheng glanced at it, couldn't help but be surprised, smiled bitterly, pulled Lin Su out of the shadows, and arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be Brother Yan, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
The knife-wielder was stunned for a moment, took a closer look at the two of them, and said, "Why are you." (To be continued.) )
