Chapter 16: The Shadow Assassins
The moonlight shines on the sycamore in front of the window, and the autumn mood is already very strong, and the fragrance of cinnamon wafts from nowhere, which seems to be urging people to fall asleep. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zuo Mingzhu sat in Yue Que's room and hadn't left, she looked up at the bright moon outside, turned her back to Yue Que, and said, "Childe, did you say those mysterious assassins would come tonight?"
Yue Que said: "Yes, and I have already guessed where they came from." ”
Zuo Mingzhu hurriedly turned around, and said with surprise on his face: What is the way?"
Yue Que smiled and said, "Do you remember what Chu Liuxiang said in Shi Guanyin's lair?"
Zuo Mingzhu immediately continued: "Are the three names of 'Yue', 'Sword Demon', and 'Demon Sword'?"
Yue Xian nodded and said, "It's these three, when I was at the Dragon Gate Inn, after Jin Zhuyu proposed to look at the sword and was rejected by me, I also looked at it many times. ”
Zuo Mingzhu said: "So, they decided that this sword was related to the 'magic sword'?"
Yue Que didn't reply this time, his pupils suddenly shrank, and the corners of his eyes suddenly looked out of the window.
Although the speed of those vague figures was fast, they couldn't escape Yue Que's eyes, but once they blended into the shadows of the night, they seemed to disappear out of thin air.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yue Que wouldn't have noticed the slightest abnormality at all.
This is the stealth technique of the old man in the mountain!
At this point, Yue Que had already made a judgment almost instantly.
Although he did not painstakingly study the way of the old man in the mountains, he did not know anything about stealth. But the other party really blended into the shadows.
The stealth technique has been used to the extreme by the other party, and has even broken the shackles of the old man's assassin way in the mountains.
"It's the four gates of heaven and earth, wind and thunder?!"
A thought flashed in Yue Que's heart.
"Poof!"
Yue Que could even see several spurts of blood staining the leaves red, such an assassination method was not terrifying. The elite hidden in the six doors didn't even make the slightest sound until they died.
However, the horror was that there were as many as five such assassins at a time.
He gave Zuo Mingzhu a look and motioned for her to stay at the table in the room and not stand in front of the window.
Zuo Mingzhu blinked, and then walked over as if nothing had happened.
"It's not good, it's poisonous smoke!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of three absolute gods catching in the next few rooms, and then the door "banged", suddenly burst open, and the three figures suddenly flew out, and before they landed, several very small voices came, and the face of the "king of hunting" Li Xuanyi changed greatly, and he didn't have time to think, he grabbed the cloak behind him and threw it in the direction of the hidden weapon, and then opened his arms to pounce the other two gods to the ground.
But the moment they swooped down on the floor, the enemy seemed to have calculated their movements. Almost at the same time, a strange black short sword suddenly leaked out of the floor, without making any sound, but it was fast to the extreme, and it was tricky to the extreme!
Liu Jiyan's pupils shrank, his face changed, and he was about to speak, but what he made was a hoarse sound of "ho-ho", and blackened blood kept gushing out of his mouth, and then the condensed pupils gradually dilated and lost their color.
Liu Jiyan, one of the three absolute gods, died like this.
That is, when Liu Jiyan died for a few breaths, Li Xuanyi and Liu Dufeng also discovered Liu Jiyan's condition.
A trace of anger and sadness flashed on Liu Dufeng and Li Xuanyi's faces, they knew that they must not be carried away by anger at this time, otherwise the two of them would also follow in the footsteps of Liu Jiyan.
"Whoosh!"
Two more sword lights flashed, and the black sword light was like a strange poisonous snake that swooped straight at the two of them.
The two divine catchers also reacted quickly, and in an instant, they pulled out their waist knives and slashed at the stabbing sword like lightning.
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
The sound of weapons striking sounded, and with the power of the waist knife to fight back, the two black shadows that rushed in also fell silently into the shadows next to them.
One hit misses and fades into the shadows.
"It's the Shadow Assassin!"
Li Xuanyi and Liu Dufeng's pupils shrank, their expressions were very gloomy, and they also paid attention to it in their hearts.
With such a big movement, no one in the entire inn appeared at this time, and the two of them knew in their hearts that these people were either killed or hid and did not dare to come out.
As for Yue Que, they never expected the other party to come to help, and the previous cooperation was just a verbal statement.
And the dark sentinels they arranged around outside are probably already asleep at this time.
The two of them turned their backs to each other, slowly moving their feet with their vests as the axis, and even carried their skills to their ears, carefully listening to the subtle sounds under their feet and around them.
"Whoosh!"
Two more sword lights suddenly flashed in front of their eyes, Li Xuanyi and Liu Dufeng had already taken precautions this time, raised their knives to block the attack of the shadow assassin, and the two didn't even give each other a chance to escape, intending to fight back.
At this moment, a hint of alarm suddenly rose in the hearts of the two of them, and a fatal sense of crisis suddenly surged into their hearts!
In an instant, Li Xuanyi and Liu Dufeng suddenly realized a serious problem.
There are two shadows that they can't avoid at all, and that is their own shadow!
Shadow assassins, wherever there is a shadow, they can hide.
Although they had thought of it at this moment, their accumulated sword momentum had already been attacked, and now it was too late to deal with the assassin in the shadows.
Fast, faster than lightning flashed with sword light.
Li Xuanyi and Liu Dufeng could even hear the sound of breaking from their Adam's apple, which was a sound of death that they had never heard before.
Yue Que stood in the room, and after hearing two sounds outside that seemed to be his body falling to the ground, he knew that the Three Absolute Divine Traps had all died.
He took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a few pills and threw them at Zuo Mingzhu.
Zuo Mingzhu stretched out her hand to take the pill, put it in her mouth without thinking about it, picked up the tea and swallowed it, and then took out a silk scarf and soaked it with the potion she carried with her, and after the silk scarf was completely soaked, she covered her nose with the silk scarf.
At this moment, a trace of essence suddenly flashed in Yue Que's eyes, and his right foot slammed down, pouring his strength through the floor under his feet, only to hear a slight muffled sound suddenly coming from under his feet.
"Bang!"
At the same time, the roof, windows, and doors suddenly burst open at the same time, and the broken wooden blocks blocked Yue Que's retreat from three directions.
In the midst of the rapidly shooting wood, three black sword rays stabbed silently, like a ghostly shadow poking out of hell and a ghostly claw.
Yue Que, who was in the center of the broken wood, at this moment, his body seemed to turn into a cloud of green smoke, and before the sword light could arrive, he passed through an extremely small space and floated behind Zuo Mingzhu.
His hand suddenly appeared on the neck of the assassin behind Zuo Mingzhu, and his fingers were slightly forced, only a "click" sound was heard, and the black sword in the shadow assassin's hand had not even had time to pierce the back of Zuo Mingzhu's head, and his neck was instantly twisted.
Zuo Mingzhu heard the sound and turned around to see Yue Que who suddenly appeared behind him and the assassin who had already fallen to the ground.
