C181 Hiding in the Water
Hearing these threatening words, all the assassins had no idea what to do. Seeing Guxing's figure walking further and further away in the dark, the leading man had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask carefully, "May I ask who senior is? We are following orders. We hope senior won't stop us. "
"Following orders?"
The voice coldly snorted and said, "Under whose orders?"
Everyone was instantly put in a difficult position. "This. . . "
"Oh? Could it be that you have some shady business to attend to? Hurry up and tell us the truth! "
Sensing the killing intent in this person's words, everyone shuddered. Then, they thought about how, under the layers of security in this deep palace, even if they had extraordinary abilities, From this, it could be seen that this mysterious senior must be one of them. Therefore, the leading man gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, we are following Emperor's orders. Time was of the essence to assassinate the traitor Yeh Guxing. Senior, please let us pass. "
"Oh? So that's how it is. What did this kid do to deserve you all to come out late at night?"
Everyone had embarrassed expressions on their faces. "Senior, we don't know either. "
"Forget it. For his sake, we'll give him face. I won't bother with you guys anymore. You can leave now. "
The mysterious person faintly sighed and said, "Truly disappointing. It's rare for me to come out, yet my interest in the moon has been disturbed. Hmph. . . "
Only then did everyone wake up from their stupor. Their backs were already soaked in large patches of cold sweat.
"Leader, who was that just now?"
Recalling everything that had happened just now, one of them asked the leader in fear.
However, the leader snorted coldly. "Why are you asking so many questions? Is Senior's name something you can ask about? Hurry up and chase after him! "
Then, he unconsciously thought of a legend and couldn't help but mutter to himself in a low voice: " Could it be that those people who disappeared in the past have appeared?"
When he thought of this, he was immediately frightened.
However, on a tree not far from them, Xiao Yue was looking in the direction in which everyone had left with an ugly expression on her face. Immediately, she turned into a ray of light and disappeared.
"Idiot, I've helped you delay those people as much as possible. You'll have to rely on yourself from now on. "
In an inconspicuous corner of the corridor, Guxing recalled what Xiao Yue had told him before she fell asleep. He silently clenched his fists.
"Cough, Attack Stopping Stage, you really are not to be trifled with. "
After spitting out the remaining blood from his mouth, Guxing's face instantly turned pale. Feeling his injuries, Guxing laughed at himself and said, "This sword Qi really can't be underestimated. Once it enters one's body, it really makes one unable to withstand it. "
At this moment, his condition couldn't be tolerated. He was in a very optimistic state. The previous battle with the assassins had caused him to be covered in wounds all over his body. What was even worse was that the sword Qi of the three Attack Stopping Stage warriors had already injured his internal organs. If it wasn't for the jade pendant, he would have died in the battle just now.
"This old bastard didn't kill me during the day, but secretly sent someone to deal with me at night. It seems like he is afraid of something. "
Thinking of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across Guxing's eyes. " Since that's the case, I have to endure until dawn no matter what. Since you are heartless, don't blame me for being unjust. At that time, I would like to see what you can do to my benefactor in front of so many people!"
Guxing emphasized the word 'benefactor'. It could be seen that he was really angry.
Now that he had confirmed that it was Chu Feng who wanted to kill him, the last glimmer of hope in Guxing's mind was instantly shattered. He asked himself if he had done anything wrong, but was treated like this by someone else. Naturally, he felt extremely indignant in his heart. When he thought about how he had risked his life to save someone a few days ago, a mouthful of resentment was about to spurt out from his chest.
"Humph! Chu Feng, you still owe me an explanation for what happened today. Don't think that I can't do anything to you now. In the future, I will make you pay with your teeth! A debt of blood must be paid with blood! "
After he finished speaking, Guxing leapt into the water. Relying on his clever movement technique, he merely caused an extremely small ripple in the water. As time passed, the surface of the water gradually returned to calm. As for Guxing, he hid under a corridor and closed his eyes. Gradually, even breathing could not be heard.
After half an incense stick of time, a series of light footsteps could be heard. A few masked men had found this place. After searching this place for a while, they turned around and left.
Two hours later, someone came here again, but they still found nothing.
"Not even a shadow. Old Sixth. Are you mistaken? This kid has never been here before?"
After a few rounds of running around, the leader looked impatiently at a thin man in the crowd. His tone could not help but carry a hint of anger.
"It can't be. I clearly smell that this kid disappeared after coming here. How could there be no smell?"
The bamboo man looked back and forth at this place and said somewhat anxiously.
"Strange. Old Sixth's sense of smell has always been sensitive. Why is there a mistake this time?"
In the crowd. Someone in the crowd mumbled in confusion. At the same time, he inadvertently looked at a pool of clear water outside the corridor and suddenly shouted: Old Sixth!" Could it be that this kid hid in the water!?"
These words could be said to awaken the person in the dream. When everyone heard it, they all felt that it made sense. At this moment, they heard the leader analyze in a deep voice. " One person cannot stay in the water for long. This kid must be hiding under this corridor. "
Guxing's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "Not good!"
"Humph! Still not coming out?"
Seeing that there was still no response from the water, the leading man immediately stomped his feet in a threatening manner. It shook the water so hard that cracking sounds could be heard. The leading man turned his head to look at the crowd and chuckled. " Laoer went down and gave him a lesson. "
Laoer heard this and took a few steps to the edge of the corridor. Just as he was about to go down and pull Guxing out, a black shadow suddenly flashed past the end of the corridor. Everyone subconsciously shouted. Who is it?! "In the next moment, they chased in the direction where the black shadow had disappeared.
Feeling the footsteps getting further and further away, Guxing let out a long breath under the water. Then, he quietly climbed onto the shore from the other side of the corridor. After realizing that there was no danger, he continued to run in the opposite direction that everyone had fled in.
Old Sixth and the others returned here an hour later. Looking at the empty water surface under the corridor, the leader of the group could not help but let out a furious roar.
