In the past six months, a thief has appeared in Chang'an City, which has made the residents of the city panic.

Originally, it was difficult for a small thief to stir up any strong winds and waves, but this thief was different, because he was not moved by those gold and silver treasures, but stole incense and jade, picked flowers and looked for fragrance, and on the first and fifteenth days of each month, he would inevitably take away a lady in the city, and then send it back after about four or five days, but when those girls were sent back, they had already become a corpse, and looking at their unclothed appearance, they were obviously humiliated in every way.

When the thieves first committed the crime, although the residents of the city reported the crime, the government did not pay too much attention to the matter, and only sent additional personnel to patrol the city. But with the passage of time, the thief has become more and more emboldened, and shifted the target to those princes and nobles, high-ranking officials and celebrities aggravated by the daughters of the daughters, coupled with repeated successes, for a while, everyone in Chang'an City was in danger, and the thieves' movements were guarded against everywhere. Some high-ranking officials and princes can still send more people to guard their families, but ordinary commoners can only fear all day long, praying that bad luck will not befall their families. Therefore, although it is now close to the New Year Festival, Chang'an City is much more deserted than in previous years, and there is a lack of a lot of festive atmosphere for the New Year.

The New Yuan Festival is already like this, and how cold and silent the Shangyuan Lantern Festival will be after half a month, you can imagine.

On this day, it is Chinese New Year's Eve, and according to tradition, as soon as the child hour passes, it will be the first day of the new year, and it will be the time for the thief to make a move. Therefore, although it is close to the Spring Festival, the originally prosperous Chang'an is now only surrounded by a wave of uneasiness surrounding every household in the city, and a trace of vigilance has quietly penetrated into it on a festive night.

The bright moon hangs high in the night sky, and at this moment, it is already sub-time.

This year, Chang'an City rarely did not sound the sound of firecrackers saying goodbye, but instead it was the sound of a muffled heartbeat in everyone's hearts.

As is customary, the thief is about to appear, but tonight, I don't know whose daughter will suffer bad luck?

At night, everything is silent.

A figure suddenly came, and I saw that he was of medium stature, dressed in close-fitting black, flying on the roofs of various houses, as if walking on the ground, with a slight touch of his feet, and he had jumped more than ten feet away in the blink of an eye.

The flower-picking thieves who disturbed the scene of Chang'an's shengping have appeared.

In the middle of a few ups and downs, the thief had come to the vicinity of a large house. A pair of eyes stared directly at the mansion in front of him, as if he was searching, as if he was waiting.

Suddenly, the thief's eyes lit up and he jumped into the house.

Before long, a few heavy blows were heard, and the thief had jumped out of the house again with a delicate body in a coma, and after a quick rest, he walked through the house again.

Just as the thief had just jumped onto the roof of the first room, an exclamation came from the house: "Miss has been taken captive!"

Suddenly, the originally dim house was already brightly lit, and panic and tension were already pervasive.

At this time, the thief had already left the mansion three miles away, and seeing that he had temporarily avoided the housekeepers who had just begun to chase and search, he hid in an alley, put down the beautiful woman on his back, and was about to take a good look at the spoils of the night......

"In a matter of moments, you can gallop for miles, you should be a cultivator. ”

A sudden comment startled the thief to turn around, only to see a figure, and he didn't know when it appeared behind him. Although the visitor was dressed in a warm robe, he could not hide his thin figure, and he leaned sideways against the wall, and by the moonlight, a pair of playful eyes pointed directly at the somewhat unexpected thief.

"I'll give you a piece of advice, and you won't have to worry about it. ”

Still leaning against the wall, Tang Ling reminded the other party.

Although the skill is restricted, Tang Ling's spiritual perception is still the same as before, as early as night, Tang Ling has opened his spiritual sense, searching for the uninvited guest who is about to appear tonight, and when the thief first appeared, Tang Ling has already locked his position, the only surprise is that the thief's skill is not as mediocre as he imagined.

However, this did not make much of a difference to the results.

After the thief saw Tang Ling, he didn't say a word, raised his left hand, and three flying knives were nailed towards Tang Ling, and at the same time quickly picked up the woman who was still in a coma and swept away into the distance.

"The eyebrows, throat, chest, after a blow, immediately flee, regardless of the result, this is the typical Assassin style. Tang Ling flicked his fingers, and the three flying knives had lost their crosshairs and fell to the ground weakly.

Staring at the figure that was fading away, Tang Ling asked a question that could not be answered for the time being: "Only using three flying knives against me, is it your confidence in yourself, or is it aimed at disturbing the enemy?"

After encountering Tang Ling's interception, the thief's speed increased significantly, and before long, he had reached the Chang'an city wall, and just as he was about to jump off the city wall and disappear into the night, Fang Cai's joking voice sounded again.

"The second reminder, just be caught, otherwise you will bear the consequences. ”

The answer is still throwing knives, but this time there are more of them and the momentum is stronger.

"Good. ”

As soon as the knife left his hand, the thief only felt that his hand was sinking, and the other party had appeared beside him, and his left hand reached out, and he was clamping his left hand tightly, which had not yet been withdrawn.

The thief's brows tightened, and he raised his foot and kicked at Tang Ling, who easily flashed sideways, but still didn't let go.

The blow was unsuccessful, and the thief returned to attack again, pointing directly at Tang Ling's left chest.

This kick is tricky, seeing that Tang Ling has not let go, the left side is inconvenient to move, if Tang Ling still does not let go, he will inevitably be hit, with this kick, if ordinary mortals are hit, they will inevitably be seriously injured or even killed.

It's a pity that the thief didn't expect that Tang Ling was not an ordinary mortal, but saw Tang Ling not retreating but advancing, bullying the thief, his right hand stretched out, and a soft force arose, which had lifted the woman in his arms, and then the one hand turned in the air, and a whirlwind rose, sending the woman a few feet away, and fell to the ground unharmed.

Seeing this, the thief saw this, and the hand that originally held the woman had an extra short knife at some point, slashing at Tang Ling's left hand.

"If you can't pick flowers, will you hurt people?" Tang Ling snorted, and immediately released his left hand, only to see a flash of silver light in front of him, and a short knife again, but this move had been easily dodged by Tang Ling again.

The silver light faded, and the thief had jumped off the wall and fled.

Tang Ling leaned on the city wall, looked at the fleeing back, and sighed: "It turned out that it was just to escape for your life." ”

It's a pity that the thieves who can escape from the hands of the Raiders do not exist yet.

Looking at the figure that was about to disappear from afar, Tang Ling just bent his finger and flicked at him, and a blue lightning bolt like a swimming dragon had shot out from his fingertips, instantly biting the flower thief who had been cursed thousands of times by the residents of Chang'an.
