Chapter 13: The Attack on the Homeland
Since the last time Qi Kai frustrated the sharp spirit of the Wuji Hall in one fell swoop, Shou and the city is no longer calm, and the news of the Black Shadow Guard being killed has been spread one after another outside the city, although the Wuji Hall is angry, but there is nothing to be done about the elusive Qi Kai, so he can only continue to increase the number of people.
The news of the death of the Black Shadow Guard seems to be telling the Wuji Palace: I have come back together!
Located on the top of a big mountain hundreds of miles north of Shouji City, among the three or five humble houses, an old man leaned on a chaise longue, his eyes were half-closed, but occasionally there was a flash of fine light, only to hear him muttering alone: "Qi Kai is not dead, but he has made some progress, which is really impressive, but the leaders of the Demon Heaven Pavilion have been killed, and the magic associations in various places have also been restrained by the strength of the Wuji Palace, and they will not be able to draw out manpower in a short time, but why is he still so fearless?"
He closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Wuji Palace, in the middle of the courtyard.
Although the Wuji Hall had lost dozens of shadow guards in recent days, the old man still looked calm and relaxed, slowly removing the weeds among the flowers.
Dongfang Hao had been standing for half an hour, but he didn't dare to move, nor did he dare to say a word, as if the old man was doing an extremely important thing at the moment, and there was no room for distraction.
It was a long time before the old man straightened up, but he held a short dagger in his hand.
It turned out that the tool he used to weed was a short dagger, and it was no wonder that the small flower garden had taken him nearly an hour.
He suddenly said, "Do you know that I don't use a grass shovel for a straw shovel, but I use a dagger?"
Dongfang Hao was stunned, the old man's brainless words made him confused, and he could only remain silent.
The old man snorted in his nose, as if he was a little disappointed, and said: "The Wuji Hall has been passed down to me for nine generations, and the reason why we can have such achievements today is because of the weapons in our hands!
Dongfang Hao suddenly realized and said, "What the lord said is extremely true. ”
The old man continued: "If anyone dares to infringe on the majesty of the Wuji Palace, even if it is at any cost, they must be brought to justice, and I should not need to teach you this truth. ”
Dongfang Hao lowered his head and said: "The strength of the Black Shadow Guard is not weak, but Qi Kai doesn't know what method he used, and his strength has increased dramatically, and we have lost dozens of good players in a row these days." ”
The old man snorted and said, "Could it be that my Martial Pole Hall only has a Shadow Guard?"
Dongfang Hao was taken aback and said, "What does the lord mean, use that team?!"
The old man said in a deep voice: "It's time for the people of the world to see and see the 'Blood Shadow Guard', lest the people of the world think that my dignified Martial Pole Hall can only be bullied by others!"
Dongfang Hao thought of this team that had been training in secret, and suddenly became arrogant, and couldn't help laughing: "The Lord is wise, the appearance of the Blood Shadow Guard will definitely make the people of the world tremble!
Walking out of the small courtyard, Dongfang Hao's mood was no longer as low as when he came, as long as he thought that the Blood Shadow Guard was personally trained by the 'Xue Wuji Blood Prince' for many years, his body couldn't help but tremble.
Xue Wuji was famous for his brutal assassination in his early years, fifteen years ago, because of the assassination of the owner of the 'Shocking Wind Village', 'Divine Travel, Light as the Wind Wu Tian', unfortunately failed, but was seriously injured, and his strength has plummeted since then, and then he was recruited by the Wuji Palace, and ordered him to secretly train a team.
Even though his strength is not as good as before, his experience is not less than before, but more abundant, so he is favored by the Wuji Palace.
There are only ten people in the Blood Shadow Guard, but these ten people who have been selected through layers of rigorous selection are all talented and have excellent reactions, and they have been trained by the blood prince for fifteen years, even Dongfang Hao does not dare to speculate.
Only half an hour later, two ordinary-looking middle-aged people came to Dongfang Hao.
Two pairs of listless eyes looked at him numbly.
Dongfang Hao stared at these two people carefully for a long time, but he didn't see anything special, if you have to say that they are different, it is that they seem to be very indifferent, like wooden people without emotion.
Because no matter what method Dongfang Hao uses, he can't make the slightest fluctuation between these two people.
After a while, one of them suddenly said, "Why is the young master staring at us like this?"
Dongfang Hao suddenly came back to his senses and smiled slightly embarrassedly: "Are you really the Blood Shadow Guards trained by Senior Xue?"
Another said: "Uncle Xue said that the people who are most likely to succeed in assassinating their targets are often those who seem the most inconspicuous. ”
Dongfang Hao suddenly said: "I see." He continued, "The two of you are called as they are." ”
The man bowed down and said, "Young master, you don't have to be polite, my name is Blood Five, and he is Blood Six." ”
Dongfang Hao nodded and said, "Your task is to kill Qi Kai, but he is erratic and good at disguise, and the most notable feature is the dual cultivation of demons and martial arts, and dozens of black shadow guards have been lost outside the city one after another." ”
Blood Liudao: "Obey." ”
Without a single superfluous word, the two of them turned around and left in unison.
Dongfang Hao looked at their departing backs, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: these two people look ordinary and impermanent, even if they walk, they can't see anything special, can they kill Qi Kai just by the two of them?
There is a small river outside the east of the city, and the banks of the river are planted with purple-leaved willows.
Every spring, when the blue catkins are falling like snow under the purple drooping hair, if you walk among the small white flowers blooming on the riverbank, lean on the green grass and talk, the blue snow, the purple sky, the white flowers, and the green grass, in this beautiful environment, small talk also becomes a chatter.
So it's the perfect place for lovers to go on a date.
Qi Kai crouched among the slender and dense purple leaves, quietly waiting for his tenth 'prey'.
He had already succeeded in assassinating nine Shadow Guards who were famous for their assassinations, but at this moment he still didn't dare to relax in the slightest, he still clearly remembered that last time as long as his Wind Blade was a moment late, the signal in the Shadow Guard's hand would be sent into the sky, and if all the Shadow Guards around him rushed over, he could only flee in the wilderness.
Even though he had been dormant in the dense leaves for two or three hours, Qi Kai's body did not move a bit, as if his body was as insensible as wood.
The breeze blew, the purple slender leaves swayed, and Qi Kai suddenly remembered some past events that should not have been remembered at this time.
At that time, it was early spring, and the new leaves of the purple willow lilac had not yet fully unfolded, and the color was not as dark as it is now, and they walked along the green path among the purple willow leaves and blue flying flakes, counting the wildflowers everywhere.
He watched her lean over to pick flowers, the long green silk flying in the breeze, and the white clothes were like snow, she carefully plucked a flower, and took it to her eyes to look at it again and again.
Flowers are beautiful, people are more beautiful.
The look of joy on her face was something he would never forget.
At that moment, he felt that the heaven and earth suddenly lost color, and the only thing in his mind was the woman who seemed to have walked out of calligraphy and painting.
His heart throbbed slightly, and he shook off the thoughts in his head and looked around.
At this time, there were almost no pedestrians on the road, only two people who carried a box together came from afar, they were not walking fast, but they had a tacit understanding, the person in front had just stepped out of the left leg, and the person behind had just stepped out of the right leg, Qi Kai only glanced at it and knew that they must be picking up workers for a living, he sighed secretly, and the figure that haunted him appeared in his mind.
Now, unexpectedly, he is back here, after two years, the catkins that used to fly have been paid to the flowing water, the once spotless bluestone path has been paved with fallen leaves, and even the woman who used to walk beside him has not seen him for two years.
He sighed again.
The two men carrying the box walked under the tree, slowly lowered their burdens, and sat on the stone bench to rest.
Qi Kai suddenly envied these ordinary two people, living the most ordinary life.
One kneaded his shoulders, and the other picked up the cloth on his shoulders and wiped his forehead, but the two just sat quietly and did not say a word.
Qi Kai looked at them and suddenly felt that something was wrong. The two obviously cooperate very well, and it looks like they have been carrying burdens together all year round, but why do two people who are so familiar with each other not say a word when they are tired and resting? Moreover, although the fabric of their clothes is rough, the cushion cloth of the person who wiped the sweat just now is very soft, and the fabric on the shoulders is also very new, and there is no trace of perennial burdens at all. Qi Kai carefully looked at the cloth on the shoulder of the other person, and sure enough, it was also brand new.
For those who carry burdens all year round, the cushion cloth will be pressed very hard and smooth, but why are the shoulder cloths of both people brand new?
His eyes flickered, and as soon as he noticed something unusual about the two of them, the sweat-wiping man suddenly rushed towards him.
It turned out that while he was wiping the sweat with his left hand, he had quietly pulled out a short dagger with his right hand.
I saw a flash of cold light, and a snow-bright short dagger appeared in front of Qi Kai's eyes.
It was the first time Qi Kai had seen someone so fast, and he already knew that he had been exposed, so he could only turn over and fly up, dodging this short dagger that was as powerful as an arrow.
Another cold light flashed.
It turned out that at the same time as the body of the person who was wiping sweat just now flew up, the other person had quickly circled behind the big tree, so they all avoided the sneak attack of the previous person, and the sneak attack of the other person followed, and the two attacks were like flowing clouds without delay.
Qi Kai was in mid-air at this time, and in a hurry, his body could no longer turn around, and it seemed that it was impossible for him to dodge this blow!
Hearing only the sound of 'ding', Xueliu suddenly felt that the short dagger in his hand seemed to be pierced on a steel plate, and the force of the shock made his wrist numb.
Qi Kai felt a strong surge behind him, and he simply flew out with his strength and landed on another tree.
Blood Six looked at Qi Kai in surprise, could it be that he was wearing steel armor?
Qi Kai was much more surprised than Blood Six at this moment, these two seemingly ordinary burden-bearers not only walked very tacitly, but also had a tacit understanding when they attacked secretly, it seems that the two must be veterans in this.
Blood Five's body was still in the air, and his left foot lightly tapped the willow branch fluttering in the wind, and the willow branch swayed suddenly, and his body suddenly changed direction incredibly, and rushed towards Qi Kai again.
This seemingly ordinary person has such outstanding light skills!
Qi Kai knew that he had kicked a nail today, so he turned around and swept south.
Three people, three black shadows, shot towards the south.
