Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Shadow Assassin
Xu Ziling is no longer a person who has never seen a battle, but he has never thought that there is such a terrible martial art in the world. Only then did he realize that someone had sneak attacked, and his whole body had fallen into an almost irresistible whirlpool.
It was a thousand strange forces, some of them pulling him forward, some of them pressing straight down, and a few lateral and rotating forces. It is like falling into the whirlpool of the raging sea, making it difficult for people to have the ability to control independently. Fortunately, Xu Ziling was vigilant first, otherwise he would be afraid that he would be staggered at this time, and it would be difficult to stand firm.
Xu Ziling knew that this was a matter of life and death, and he didn't think about it, so he gathered all his strength with the halberd in his hand, leaned over and sat on the horse, and at the same time stabbed and looked at the people who came and went. For a moment, he could only see a dark shadow.
A little sword light was expanding in front of his eyes. The invincible sword qi invaded through the long sword, causing him to stop breathing, and his whole body was like a knife.
Xu Ziling found something strange when he climbed here, until this terrible enemy launched a secret attack, it was only two blinks of his eyelids, but Xu Ziling had fallen into a danger that he had never encountered in his life.
Seeing that the halberd in his hand could accurately block the enemy's weapon, the opponent's long sword changed, and Xu Ziling's halberd actually hit in the air.
The feeling of using the wrong force and being unable to exert its strength made Xu Ziling so uncomfortable that he almost vomited blood. There was no one in sight.
Fortunately, his feeling clearly told him that the other party was coming to a blind spot on his left side with strange and unpredictable footwork.
The strangest thing is that there is still a little bit of sword light in front of him, constantly flashing, making him blind, and he can only react purely by feeling.
A sharp sword qi seemed to be about to stab at his left waist and eye.
Such a powerful body sword move is indeed terrifying. Xu Ziling didn't have time to think, so he forcibly withdrew the short halberd that pierced the air, and twisted his body to split it sideways. At the same time, he turned his head and stared at this terrible enemy.
The figure flashed, and Xu Ziling's halberd split the air twice. Xu Ziling was obedient this time, and he immediately changed his moves before he used up enough, and at the same time retreated backwards. He didn't mean to escape, but to regain his position. Although he only made two moves, he did everything he could to fight for his life to the end.
The sword and light of the earth are flourishing, and the sword shadows are roaring in all directions, and the virtual reality is unpredictable. But Xu Ziling could clearly grasp that the other party was not only in front, but also a deadly sword was lightning attacking his lower abdomen.
The other party's speed is obviously a few points faster than him, so although he is already retreating, he is taking the initiative in the opponent's hands. At this life-and-death juncture, Xu Ziling picked up the halberd, and even exerted the characteristics of the halberd to rotate, strangling on the sword stabbed by the opponent.
He was the first entity to come into contact with an opponent's blade since the engagement. Due to the unique structure of the short dynasty, it is the weapon that is best at locking up the enemy. How do you know that halberds and swords intersect, but this is not the case at all. First of all, Xu Ziling felt that the true qi that was concentrated on the halberd was suddenly sucked dry by the enemy sword, and then the enemy sword gave birth to a pasting force, teaching him that he couldn't even draw back the halberd.
Xu Ziling was in danger, and when he was about to abandon the halberd and flee for his life, the opponent's long sword attached to the halberd like a poisonous snake and squeezed into his lower abdomen.
After Xu Ziling left, Kou Zhong's attention was focused on the front yard, and as long as there was a slight change in his mind, he immediately pretended to be a cat and told Xu Ziling to escape.
However, there is no situation downstairs yet. There was a sudden sound of vigorous fighting from the small building. Kou Zhong was taken aback, and he didn't care about exposing his hiding, so he picked up his knife and rushed towards Xiaolou.
"Bang!" the sound of the weapon falling to the ground. Xu Ziling's back smashed the big window of the boudoir of the sinking goose, and with a puddle of blood, he fell down. A black shadow swept out like a ghost, chasing the falling Xu Ziling with one palm in the air, and he had to be put to death.
Kou Zhong collected his thoughts, threw the big knife in his hand, and at the same time swept at Xu Ziling at full speed, and shouted: "There is a thief!"
This shows that Kou Zhong's intelligence is superb. You must know that since the other party can hit Xu Ziling seriously injured and fall from the building in such a short period of time, he Kou Zhong will not be able to stop the other party, and the only way is to alarm Shen Luoyan and the others, and teach this unpredictable enemy to have scruples. Of course, this person may also be an ambush soldier in the building, but looking at his fearful hideout, this possibility is not very likely.
In the blink of an eye, Kou Zhong came up with a strategy with the sole purpose of saving Xu Ziling's life.
The man obviously didn't expect to kill Kou Zhong in the cross, because with his amazing hearing, he should not be able to hide any movement in the garden, but he didn't realize it until Kou Zhong shot a big knife. This is also the reason why he killed Xu Ziling.
When Xu Ziling pushed the door into the building, he had an induction, and realized that in time, this son must be a small servant. He himself is not a narrow-minded or jealous person, only because he misunderstood that Xu Ziling was a person who fell into the wild goose, so he would kill Xu Ziling by any means.
This person is the world's famous 'shadow assassin' Yang Xuyan. This time, he hid in the boudoir of Shen Luoyan, the purpose of which was to assassinate Shen Luoyan, so as to make a preemptive blow for the Sui army to attack the nest of the Wagang army. And he changed the target of assassination because he saw Xu Ziling's profound attainments, which shows how high his evaluation of Xu Ziling is.
The long knife stabbed him in the left rib with lightning and lightning. The cold aura emitted by the blade completely enveloped him in front of his body.
With Yang Xuyan's ability, he had to postpone the killer of Xu Ziling, and deal with it with all his might. With a sudden breath, he suddenly changed his body in the air, and he actually took a long knife.
At this time, Kou Zhong had already hugged Xu Ziling before he fell to the ground. Yang Xuyan snorted coldly, and threw the flying knife he received in the same gourd, straight to Kou Zhong's back.
With its strength, it is believed that it can penetrate the bodies of two people at the same time.
Kou Zhong didn't think about it, he used his toes to push Xu Ziling, who was covered in blood and fell into a coma, and rolled into the nearby grass, only narrowly avoiding the long knife that came from the lightning. Yang Xuyan was about to continue the pursuit, and the sound of clothes breaking through the air was all around. He asked himself if it would be difficult to kill Kou Zhong in one or two moves, sighed, unfolded his body, and soared into the sky.
Kou Zhong rolled out of the grass from the other side of the grass with Xu Ziling in his arms. Jump and run.
At this time, the delicate cry of the sinking goose sounded from the heights: "Who dares to come to make trouble?"
Then came a series of weapons and a terrible snort!
Looking at Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong was so painful that he almost cried, gritted his teeth, and swept towards the outer wall in front of him with Xu Ziling in his arms, and the shouts immediately sounded in the rear, but he couldn't care about so much.
Kou Zhong tore open Xu Ziling's coat, and what he saw was a pierced roster.
This is the storage room in the backyard of a relatively large residential house near Shen Luoyan Manor, and after avoiding the pursuers, Kou Zhong took Xu Ziling to hide here.
Kou Zhong secretly called it lucky, if it weren't for the strength and sharpness of the opponent's sword to block this roster, I am afraid that Xu Ziling would have died sooner.
Xu Ziling lay on his back on the grass, his eyes were closed, and his face was as pale as death, but his breathing was surprisingly even and slow, and there was no urgency.
Kou Zhong put the roster aside, tore open his underwear, and examined it carefully, finding that the wound had long been glued together, and no blood was oozing out. After breathing a sigh of relief, Kou Zhong pressed Xu Ziling's palms and silently injected the true qi into Xu Ziling's body, hoping to help him heal.
I don't know how much time has passed, Xu Ziling let out a breath, woke up, and his face returned to blood.
Kou Zhong was overjoyed, tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes, and he screamed sadly: "Xiaoling! Xiaoling! You scared me to death!"
Xu Ziling opened his eyes and said in shock: "What kind of place is this?"
Kou Zhong hurriedly explained.
