Chapter 1: The First Killing
The night was very deep, in front of the door of the Mujia compound, there was a lonely ancient camphor, the miserable white moonlight and the breeze freely chased among the branches and leaves, leaving a refreshing rustle and the shadows of the helplessly swaying branches and leaves on the ground, everything seemed so natural and unharmed.
Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot out of the ancient tree, and in the blink of an eye, it leapt into the courtyard and landed in the dark light of the top of the tallest attic in the courtyard. To say that this silent light skill is clever, but the hidden technique that has no flaws on the ancient tree and on the top of the pavilion has to be admired, thinking that this person is an assassin, speed and concealment are the best tricks of this kind of person.
What is puzzling is that the person has been hiding in the shadows and has not moved, and then it is as if nothing had happened. Under a closer look, this person is dressed in black, his nose is not exposed, his handsome eyes are quite stagnant, sometimes confused, sometimes hesitant, and sometimes there is a trace of murderous intent, as if a difficult thing is indecisive in his heart, and it is difficult to keep it.
After a while, I saw that his eyes narrowed slightly, his fists clenched, his body slid down the red tile, and stood under the eaves, and the crickets in the cracks of the stone were still chirping, and he was not disturbed by the visitor.
The black-clothed man under the eaves had a firm look in his eyes at this time, and there was no longer the slightest suspicion. He stepped out of his feet, touched on his toes, and took two fluttering steps, clinging to the door frame. The door of the house was not closed, a finger-sized gap flashed repeated candlelight, looking along the light source, a solemn temperament, gray-haired middle-aged man in plain robe was in front of the desk to lock his eyebrows and paint, the ink flowed, and the silk cloth on the desk painted an ethereal mountain scene. Suddenly, I saw that his brows were loosened, and the brush clicked on the pen mountain, looked up at the door, and said, "Since you are here, please show up." ”
The black-clothed man outside the door had a clear stagnant look, but his feet had already stepped into the house, stopping in front of the gray-haired middle-aged man, his wrist and neck turned, and a silver needle had appeared between his two fingers, and a drop of silver light flashed on the tip of the needle, which was in stark contrast to the turbid yellow candlelight.
"Your Excellency's outfit, I'm afraid it's not good, right?" The middle-aged man saw a black-clothed masked man come in, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it wasn't a good person. But there was not a hint of fear in his words, not even a hint of surprise. He looked as if it was his servant or friend who had come in.
The man in black opposite him was not as calm as him, and when he saw that the other party was so calm, he was already timid in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder: What kind of person can be so calm in the face of the person who comes to assassinate him? There are only two answers, one is that he is confident that the other party's skills are not as good as his own, and the other is that he has already laid a net, and the other party will not only not be able to succeed, but will also put himself in. However, no matter which answer is given, the man in black will regret this trip, and he hates even more that people call him to show up, and he stands in front of them openly, which is ridiculous when he thinks about it, which is the behavior of an assassin.
The man in black thought: I should have followed what the master taught, found the target, killed it with one blow, and left if I succeeded, so that there would be no embarrassing situation now, this is the first time that the master has given him a task, and if he can't succeed, forget it, if he loses his own life......
Although his heart was surging with secrets, he still had to be calm and ordinary on the surface, and immediately asked coldly: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, but it is Mu Baizhou?"
Mu Baizhou straightened up and nodded, "Exactly." Then his eyes narrowed, and he looked like he was being slaughtered by others.
Since it was the main master, the man in black was no longer verbose, his right hand was raised, and the drop of silver light silently entered Mu Baizhou's heart on the other side, and Mu Baizhou's expression also stiffened, and he fell on the chair, his hands drooped weakly, and he seemed to be lifeless.
Looking at Mu Baizhou's body slumped on the wooden chair, the man in black still wanted to check again if the other party was really out of breath. Thinking that his original guess had not come true, this person neither resisted nor ambushed, and faced the assassin so calmly, and his determination was admirable.
But admiration is admiration, and an autopsy is a must.
But just as he was about to jump over the table and poke out his fingers, his ears moved, and he could hear the sound of broken footsteps from far and near, and it was not difficult to distinguish that the comers were extremely fast, and there were quite a few of them, and they were not weak.
The man in black frowned, it seems that this person still has an ambush, but the time when the ambush person came was not right, and if he penetrated his heart at such a close distance, this person would definitely die, and it would be okay if he didn't test it. You must leave immediately, thinking in your mind, you move out of the door, and then you wrap your body around the doorpost, and with a trick of swimming the dragon through the clouds, the person has climbed to the top of the pavilion, and the footsteps behind his ears are getting louder and louder, but he has no time to look back at the moment, jumping and flickering on the top of the pavilion, and disappearing without a trace.
"Huh", the man in black paused at his feet, listened attentively, and the footsteps that had been from far and near stopped abruptly, and he didn't chase after him. Could it be that Mu Baizhou didn't die, so no one came to chase him? Impossible, the man in black tore off his face scarf, revealing a handsome face, and he jumped to the top of the tree and looked back, without the slightest movement behind him. Although he was anxious to go back to find out, he immediately remembered the teacher's training, and left when he succeeded, to protect himself, and it was taboo to go back. The man in black could only grit his teeth, and finally broke off the idea of going back to explore.
He immediately bent and flicked towards the hill in front of him, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, he found that a sky-high aura suddenly swept away behind him.
What kind of person is he who has such momentum? I'm afraid only Master can match it. At this moment, there is only one thought in the mind of the man in black, which is to run. But the momentum is getting stronger and stronger, and it seems to be getting closer and closer.
It seems that it is impossible to escape today, the man in black was forced to be frightened, his palms turned into fingers, and three marks were formed on his chest, and then he nodded directly to his eyebrows. Just a few simple actions have made his whole body burst out with green muscles, and his eyes are bloody. The next scene was quite surprising, because the man in black was able to get in shape with such a simple gesture of two strokes, and even his speed was more than twice as fast.
It turned out that on the roof where he had just left, there were two people looking at him closely, one of them was a woman, her long hair was lightly tied, her skin was like cream, she was wearing a floating skirt, and she was very dusty, that is, there was a bit of resentment flashing between her eyebrows and clear eyes!
And the man in black who escaped by luck did not relax, nor was it easy at all. At this moment, he ran aimlessly with all his might alone, and his entire body seemed to have doubled in weight.
What seemed like a simple action just now was actually a secret technique called the Destiny Solution, which was one of the few exercises his master had ever taught, that is, it instantly compressed the true qi in the body and then released it, so that the effect of the exercise could be greatly improved temporarily.
This is the first time he has performed it, and although he will suffer some backlash afterwards, he can't care about it in order to escape for his life.
