C222 The Killer's Mind

The night swallowed the last bit of sunlight. Xue Kang was drinking alone upstairs. Hua Lingyan lived next to him. He didn't want to disturb her, so he had to drink.

Wine was really a good thing. When one was happy, it could make one happier. When one was lost, it could make one worry.

Xue Kang drank one cup after another. His alcohol tolerance was good to begin with. This way of drinking looked more like drinking water, because he was expressionless, because he was not drunk at all.

Duan Tianya looked at Xue Kang and then looked at Hua Lingyan's tightly shut doors and windows. He could not help but sigh and said, "You should probably knock on the door. "

Xue Kang said, "Maybe she is resting. "

Duan Tianya said, "Maybe she is waiting for you to knock on the door. "

"I dare not!"

"Oh?" Duan Tianya was obviously surprised by this answer. A swordsman who did not fear anything was now afraid of knocking on a woman's door.

Xue Kang looked at Duan Tianya and said, "I have something to ask of you. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "You and I should not use the word begging. "

"Drink a few glasses of wine with me. " He spoke very calmly. Of course, he knew that Duan Tianya had stopped drinking. Maybe he just said it casually.

Xue Kang did not expect Duan Tianya to agree to it, and he agreed very readily. Xue Kang was also stunned, but then he smiled faintly. At this moment, he felt that Duan Tianya was the only person who could relieve the pain in his chest.

They drank a lot of wine. Duan Tianya hadn't drunk for a long time. This time, he broke the rule for his friend. Maybe it was because he hadn't drunk for a long time, but he was a little too drunk. After drinking a pot of wine, he started to feel dizzy.

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "I am drunk. "

At this time, Xue Kang was a little drunk. He said, "I am drunk. Could it be that some things can be forgotten, and some troubles will disappear without a trace?"

Duan Tianya said, "I have not drunk too much. I don't know what kind of feeling it is. "

" Didn't you say that you were drunk? "

Duan Tianya said, "Maybe he can say that he is drunk. He is not drunk yet. "

The two of them laughed. They stopped drinking and started to talk. They talked about everything and people around them. In the end, they went back to sleep.

After the third night, the people in the inn were already resting. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed into the inn. He jumped onto the stairs on the second floor and gently groped along the stairs. In an instant, the black shadow froze on the spot. He seemed to have touched something.

It was a silk thread. People in the pugilistic world usually used it at night to tie one end to the bottom of the stairs and the other end to their own hands. It was as if someone had stepped or tripped on it. It was like a trigger that made people sense danger.

The man in black knew that he was on the road. Before he could pull himself out, he saw Hua Lingyan holding a short knife and breaking out of the window. The man in black also pulled out his sword and the two of them looked at each other.

Hua Lingyan questioned, "Who are you? You came to find trouble with me in the middle of the night. I think you are tired of living. "

The man in black did not say anything. He raised his sword and stabbed towards Hua Lingyan. Although Hua Lingyan's injuries were not serious, she was still not fully recovered. Furthermore, the sword technique of the man in black was superb.

In less than 30 moves, Hua Lingyan flipped backwards in the air. She only felt pain in her abdomen. She was distracted for a moment and was found by the man in black. Just as she was about to stab out with her sword, she was blocked by a black shadow that came out of another window.

Duan Tianya slowly walked out of the house. He looked calm and composed as he said, "It seems the famous Lee Bufann was plotted against by a woman tonight. "

The man in black took off his mask. It was indeed the sickly Lee Bufann.

Lee Bufann said, "You knew I would come?"

Duan Tianya said, "I knew you would come, but I didn't know when you would come. "

"So you used silk?"

Duan Tianya shook his head and said, "The silk might be one of Hua Lingyan's methods. "

Lee Bufann was a little confused. "Then how did you know I would come?"

Duan Tianya explained, "I drank with Xue Kang a little earlier. We talked a lot. We talked about my dead friends. We talked about our friends now, Changqing and Zhang San. But we have a friend. His name is Meng Chong. He is also a killer like you. "

Lee Bufann sighed and said, "Assassins know assassins the best. "

Duan Tianya said, "It was him who made me understand the thoughts of assassins. "

Lee Bufann smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. As assassins, it is very difficult to accept a cooked duck flying away. "

Duan Tianya said, "You could have killed Hua Lingyan, but she is still alive. You are not willing. "

Lee Bufann was silent. He was right. Hua Lingyan was not his match. He had the ability to kill this woman, but this woman was still alive. As an assassin, perhaps as Lee Bufann, he could not tolerate it.

Lee Bufann could not tolerate Hua Lingyan being alive, but Xue Kang could not tolerate Lee Bufann killing Hua Lingyan. When the two swords collided, a different light was emitted.

Some of the people in the inn were awakened by the sound of fighting, but no one dared to come out and see what was going on. After all, the concept of one less trouble was deeply rooted.

The two of them had fought for seventy rounds, but they didn't expect Xue Kang to have the upper hand. However, it wouldn't be so easy for him to win.

Duan Tianya wouldn't interfere because Xue Kang didn't want anyone to interfere in this matter. This was a duel between him and Lee Bufann.

One was defending the dignity of an assassin, while the other was defending the dignity of love. This wasn't supposed to be equal, but it was. * Hong Long. . . . . . *

Lee Bufann's sword technique was full of variations and strange moves. It was like a shadow attached to the darkness, making people unable to grasp it.

As for Xue Kang's sword law, it was more ferocious. Every move, every move, was like a poisonous snake that was spitting fire, wanting to kill the hostage.

Lee Bufann turned around and jumped. When his toes touched the ground, he threw out a hidden weapon. Xue Kang was not familiar with hidden weapons, so he could only use his sword to block it. When the hidden weapon flew away, he saw Lee Bufann jump in front of Hua Lingyan, wanting to pierce her throat with his sword.

A stream of blood gushed out, but it was not Hua Lingyan's blood, but Xue Kang's blood.

The sword stabbed into the left shoulder, making the entire left side unable to move. Xue Kang endured the pain and swung his sword back. Even when Lee Bufann died, he could not believe that the Xue Kang in front of him did not even want his life in order to save a woman.

Lee Bufann fell to the ground. His eyes were still open when he died. Was he trying to see the endless darkness or listen to the sound of the night wind? All of this returned to the dust after he stopped breathing.

Hua Lingyan held Xue Kang in her arms. Tears fell on Xue Kang's face, moistening his smiling face.

Duan Tianya walked forward and shook his head helplessly. He looked at him and said, "You are still alive?"

After a while, he heard Xue Kang's weak voice reply, "I cannot die now. "
