Chapter 1: Wedges
Chu State, Jiangcheng.
A large group of excited people gathered in front of the helm of the Jiangcheng faction, waiting for the triumphant return of Li Jiangcheng, the head of the Jiangcheng faction.
Jiangcheng has Li Daxia in charge, which is indeed a blessing for the people.
Since the rise of the Jiangcheng faction in Jiangcheng, Jiangcheng has never had trouble. The disciples of the Jiangcheng faction are all strong in martial arts, and under the leadership of Li Daxia, in just three years, they have exterminated several bandits within nearly 100 miles to the left of Jiangcheng.
In this troubled era where people's lives are as cheap as grass, the people of Jiangcheng are so lucky to be blessed by Li Daxia.
Li Daxia's great achievements made him warmly supported by all the people of Jiangcheng and was known as the Buddha of Ten Thousand Families.
Half a month ago, Li Daxia led the disciples of the Jiangcheng faction to the Ranshigang two hundred miles away to exterminate the last group of bandits near Jiangcheng. In fact, since the rise of the Jiangcheng faction, the bandits of Chaoshigang have never dared to come to disturb the people of Jiangcheng. But Li Daxia still insisted on completely exterminating them. After exterminating the bandits in Chaoshigang, the people of Jiangcheng will be completely safe.
Since the day Li Daxia left Jiangcheng, the people of Jiangcheng have been discussing enthusiastically, seeing how long it will take Li Daxia to kill the bandits in the rocky hill this time.
Some say three months.
Some say two months.
Some people even say that it only takes a month for Li Daxia to kill the bandits in the Rocky Gang cleanly, leaving no one behind.
Li Daxia is the number one master in Jiangcheng, and some people even say that Li Daxia is the number one master in the world, except for those Xiuzhen immortals who can fly to the sky, no one in the world is Li Daxia's opponent.
Li Daxia is out of the horse, a group of bandits in the messy stone hills, what is it?
Sure enough, the news came that Li Daxia had leveled the chaotic stone hill, and all the bandits were wiped out.
Jiangcheng suddenly boiled, and the people rushed to tell each other, celebrating with their foreheads.
Li Daxia is Li Daxia, and in less than half a month, he has exterminated the bandits in Chaoshigang.
Today, it is a good time for Li Daxia and the disciples of the Jiangcheng faction to return to Jiangcheng, and countless people spontaneously flock to the helm of the Jiangcheng faction, beating gongs and drums, singing and dancing, and welcoming Li Daxia's return.
In the distance, a group of people in fresh clothes and angry horses galloped over.
"It's Li Daxia......"
The sharp-eyed people recognized that the handsome man riding on the tall horse at the front was the hero of Jiangcheng's Wanjiasheng Buddha Li Jiangcheng.
"Li Daxia ......"
The people were boiling and clapping and cheering.
Li Jiangcheng and a group of disciples galloped to the front, smiling and waving to the people.
Li Jiangcheng's hero was wearing a Shu brocade flower robe, and his bright red and fiery robe was flying behind him, looking handsome and extraordinary. Li Daxia is always so dignified, it seems that he went out this time, not to suppress bandits, but to take his family on an outing, and he was in high spirits.
Li Jiangcheng, his disciples, and the common people, no one would have thought that in the crowd, Xu Jin's hand had already tightly grasped the bamboo pole beside him.
The bamboo pole is hollow, and inside it hides a short-edged goose feather knife.
Xu Jin is an assassin!
He came to Jiangcheng this time with only one purpose, which was to assassinate Li Jiangcheng.
As for why he killed Li Jiangcheng, Xu Jin didn't know. He didn't want to know either. For as long as he can remember, he has been a member of the "hidden killing", and over the years, it has formed a habit. He will kill whoever the gang leader tells him to kill.
After many years of training, Xu Jin's nerves have long been as tough as a steel wire, tougher than the Yanling knife he hid in the bamboo pole, and almost never fluctuated.
Except when he faced Xiaolan.
Xiaolan is the daughter of the "hidden killing" gang leader and is very good-looking.
The gang leader said that as long as Xu Jin completes this mission and kills Li Jiangcheng, he will marry Xiaolan to him when he goes back, and then pass on the position of the "hidden kill" gang leader to him.
Xu Jin is a genius who practices martial arts and is also a genius who kills, and after so many years of assassin career, he has learned a lot of killing skills. He can mingle in all kinds of situations, not showing the slightest flaw, waiting for the best opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
In the past 20 years, the brothers who practiced martial arts with Xu Jin back then, trained together, and went out on missions together fell in a pool of blood one by one, only Xu Jin and Min Yuxing were still alive and grew into the strongest killers of "hidden killing".
The "hidden killing" Lin gang leader was already old and didn't want to take care of the mundane affairs in the gang anymore, so he decided to choose one between Xu Jin and Min Yuxing, marry his daughter Lin Xiaolan, and inherit his mantle.
After repeated comparisons, the old gang leader chose Xu Jin.
In his opinion, Xu Jin's martial arts are higher, he is more stable, and he is more affectionate, Xiaolan marries him, and the "hidden killing" is handed over to him, which seems to be more reassuring.
This will be the last time Xu Jin will carry out an assassination mission with his own hands.
Xu Jin was still very calm, without the slightest hint of nervousness.
He has performed such a task countless times, and even Xu Jin himself doesn't remember how many people, how many martial arts masters, and the tycoons of the rivers and lakes died in his hands.
It must be admitted that Li Jiangcheng is a master, and he is an extremely powerful master.
Xu Jin could detect it by looking at the momentum of his riding on the horse.
It is not easy to kill such a master.
So the old gang leader didn't just send Xu Jin to Jiangcheng alone.
There were four people in the hideout.
In addition to Xu Jin, Min Yuxing and the two other assassins were also hidden in the crowd at the moment. Xu Jin couldn't see them, but according to the assassination strategy planned in advance, Xu Jin knew that Min Yuxing and the three of them would strike at the most appropriate time.
In a dignified face-to-face duel, Xu Jin estimated that he might not be able to defeat Li Jiangcheng. Min Yuxing is even more impossible. In terms of martial arts and the experience of killing, Xu Jin is even higher than Min Yuxing.
Therefore, Min Yuxing and the others were only responsible for disrupting Li Jiangcheng's line of sight and attracting his attention in order to create the best assassination opportunity for Xu Jin.
Li Jiangcheng walked slowly among the people who welcomed him, with a gentle smile on his face, and only from his eyes could he see that he was actually a very proud person.
The more proud Li Jiangcheng is, the faster he will die!
That's what Xu Jin believed.
The more proud a person is, the more he has many rules, even in the moment of life and death, this habit that has been cultivated for many years will not change. That's their weakness.
In Xu Jin's view, it is not difficult to kill people.
As long as it is human, there will be weaknesses.
Anyone who catches his weakness can be killed!
Even if he is a peerless master!
It's close!
At this time, a gray-haired old man came out of the crowd and presented a bowl of sweet wine to Li Jiangcheng.
"Thank you, boss!"
Li Jiangcheng hugged his fists in thanks, bowed down, took the wine bowl from the old man's hand, raised his neck, and was about to drink the wine.
It was at this point that the upheaval began.
The white-haired old man who was old and long-haired suddenly shot three black and shiny sleeve arrows from his sleeves, hitting Li Jiangcheng's chest.
Li Jiangcheng was drinking with his head up at this time, and his chest was wide open, like a live target.
Seeing that the three sleeve arrows were shooting straight forward, Li Jiangcheng suddenly raised the wine bowl and waved, and there was a series of crisp sounds of "Ding Ding Ding", and the three sleeve arrows were swept away by the porcelain bowl in Li Jiangcheng's hand.
"Poof!"
The wine syrup that Li Jiangcheng had just drunk into his mouth turned into a crystal wine arrow, and shot at it, the white-haired old man had no room to dodge, and the wine arrow hit his chest in a blink of an eye, breaking a blood hole in his chest, and the blood was like a fountain, splashing Lao Gao.
The white-haired old man didn't say a word, he looked up to the sky and fell, and before his body touched the ground, he had become a corpse.
However, a spear like a poisonous dragon flew out of the crowd and came out of nowhere, directly taking Li Jiangcheng's lower abdomen. This blow was also carefully calculated, Li Jiangcheng was riding on a horse, and his lower abdomen was his vacancy.
For ordinary people, this is almost a sure blow.
But Li Jiangcheng is not an ordinary person, he is a peerless master, and he will not be killed so easily.
Li Jiangcheng shouted, his waist and hips were forced, his feet kicked the saddle, and he rose into the air, his posture was very chic and wonderful, in the air, the wine bowl in Li Jiangcheng's hand flew out, and the assassin who attacked him in the crowd had not yet come to his senses, he had been hit by the wine bowl split, and his head suddenly turned into a rotten watermelon.
Seeing the graceful posture of Li Jiangcheng in the air, Xu Jin's hand holding the Yanling knife loosened, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
There's no need for him to make a move.
Li Jiangcheng is already a dead man!
He didn't have to take off, he just had to jump backwards to avoid the blow. However, he did not choose this simple and safe way, but chose to show off his strong light skills and wonderful body skills.
This is the fatal mistake made by the proud.
Being in mid-air, with nowhere to borrow strength, and it is impossible to change posture again, Li Jiangcheng has really become a live target this time.
Min Yuxing will not let go of this opportunity.
Sure enough, Li Jiangcheng, who was in mid-air, suddenly showed an extremely shocked look on his face, and when he looked down, an extremely sharp Emei steel thorn was revealing a half-inch-long blade tip from his chest, bringing out a few drops of red and bright blood.
Li Daxia of Megatron River City became a dead man like this!
Xu Jin raised his hand, and a thick cloud of smoke suddenly exploded in the crowd, and the scene suddenly shouted and neighed, and there was a big chaos. Xu Jin, on the other hand, slowly left the crowd, turned a few streets, and came to a corner.
He hid two good horses here, and once he succeeded, he immediately left Jiangcheng.
Min Yuxing was already standing there waiting for him.
Xu Jin smiled slightly, walked over, stretched out his hand to untie the horse's reins, turned to Min Yuxing and said, "Let's go!"
Min Yuxing nodded.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Xu Jin's eyes, and before he had time to react, an Emei steel thorn that was exactly the same as the one that killed Li Jiangcheng just now was inserted in his chest, and the other end of the steel thorn was held in Min Yuxing's hand.
"Why?"
Xu Jin looked at Emei Thorn in surprise, and then looked at Min Yuxing with a sinister smile on his face in surprise, and asked with difficulty.
"Li Jiangcheng was killed by me, so the position of the gang leader is mine, and Xiaolan is also mine!"
Min Yuxing said lightly, with a flick of his wrist, Emei stabbed a big hole in Xu Jin's chest, and blood gushed out. Xu Jin clearly felt that his heart was twisted into pieces, and then the white light flashed in front of him, and he fell into the endless dark abyss.
