C430 Piaoliu
In the Clouds State, This also meant that the mausoleum was right in front of them. And this final stretch of road was destined to be even more dangerous than before. After passing through it, there would be a flat plain and no one would be able to stop them. If they failed, they would die in the dust.
Getting off his horse, he walked on the streets of the Cloud State. People were coming and going. The sound of people peddling and peddling inadvertently made people want to relax. As the crowd moved forward bit by bit, everyone was anxious but at the same time, they had no other choice.
"How long will it take to get out if we dilly-dally like this?"
Looking at the long street in front of him, Mu Han immediately said impatiently.
Gu Xing and the others knew that he was in a hurry to go back. They all sighed and were about to persuade him, but at this moment, a weak fluctuation came, causing their expressions to change.
"Be careful!"
As Chen Che spoke, he took a step forward and blocked Su Xiaoxiao's front. The hand holding the sword swiftly waved. Immediately, there was a "ding ding ding" sound. It was as if something hard hit his scabbard. Looking closely, it was actually several tiny silver needles. From the black light that flickered on the needles, it was obvious that they were filled with poison.
"Who exactly is it? Hurry up and get out here!"
Seeing this scene, Mu Han was really angry. It was one thing for the assassins to target him, but now they didn't even let go of Su Xiaoxiao, who was so weak that she couldn't even truss a chicken. This had clearly crossed his bottom line, making him completely unable to remain calm. His starry eyes immediately widened, and his sword-like eyebrows rose in anger. However, there were simply too many people around. For a moment, he wanted to pull out the killers who were extremely good at disguising themselves from the crowd. It was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Suddenly, dozens of silver needles covered in poison flew towards the crowd at an extremely fast speed. Mu Han and Guxing subconsciously wanted to avoid them, but they took into account the fact that they were ordinary citizens behind them. They had no choice but to follow Chen Che's example and wave their sheaths crazily. Only then did they manage to neutralize this round of attack. At this time, the surrounding crowd also realized the danger. At that moment, far away, the place that was filled with people just now was suddenly empty.
"Still not revealing yourself?"
Seeing that the crowd had dispersed and that he no longer had any scruples in attacking, Mu Han pulled out the Dragon Roaring Sword and placed it in front of his chest with a clang. His resolute face was filled with a solemn expression. After all, he was in the light and the enemy was in the dark. He could not afford to be careless.
However, the reply he received was still dozens of ice-cold silver needles. Mu Han groaned and waved the sword in his hand. Whether it was his expression or his movements, they were much calmer than before. In a breath's time, he had shot down all the silver needles. At this moment, Guxing, who had his eyes closed and did not speak, also opened his eyes at lightning speed. He immediately held Cann Yue in his hand. Stepping on the Wind Controlling Technique, he rushed towards a figure in the crowd like a god of slaughter.
This was a man with an inconspicuous appearance and clothing. Hiding in the crowd, he would be ignored by almost everyone. But it just so happened to be this person. . . His true identity was a top assassin who had mastered the art of assassination, because the moment he attacked, Guxing had already locked onto his Qi.
He knew that this man wasn't simple, which was why Guxing used the Swift Sword Strike. Immediately after that, his hand didn't stop moving. The fifth style of killing was launched one after another. The combination of these two sword techniques was a deadly strike. Guxing believed that even though this man was a top assassin, he wouldn't be able to defeat him. At this moment, He saw a flash of shock on the man's face, and he managed to dodge the fourth attack. The fifth movement cut him in half at the waist.
"Eh? Something's not right!"
Guxing's expression immediately changed, because the sword did not seem to have hit anything. Only a piece of linen that had been cut in half fell from the sky. There was no shadow of half a man. Guxing could not help but laugh angrily. What a good move, Golden Cicada Shedding Skin!
In fact, this person's cultivation was not high. He was only at the early Spirit Smelting stage, but he had been able to fight countless enemies since he came down the mountain. His combat experience could be said to be extremely rich, and he had escaped with his life. It had to be said that this person was very capable.
"Ignore this man. He won't appear in a short period of time. Mr Mu, take advantage of the time when the crowd has dispersed. Let's hurry up and leave!"
After saying that, Guxing turned around and jumped back onto his horse, speeding forward. Everyone knew that their whereabouts had been exposed, and they couldn't stay here any longer. Taking advantage of the fact that it wasn't too late yet, it was the right path to leave the city as soon as possible. Immediately, he grabbed onto the horse's back with all his might and quickly followed behind.
After another two hours, the city gate finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Just as Gu Xing and the others were secretly feeling that the trip had gone too smoothly, the sound of the air being torn rang out once again. Although it was extremely light, how could it be concealed from the hard training of listening and debating since childhood? Guxing, who had amazing hearing ability, immediately flew up from his horse. He shouted angrily, "Again and again, I will spare your life, but you don't know how to cherish it. Today, I will definitely kill you!"
Before he finished speaking, the man and the sword had already shot several dozen zhang away like an arrow leaving the bow. A voice came from afar, saying: "Mr Mu, Mr Chen, you guys go first. Allow me to come back soon!"
Mu Han and Chen Che looked at each other and nodded. They knew that with that man's ability, he was no match for their brother. Without wasting any more time, they left the city at high speed.
On the other side, Guxing was chasing after a figure. A cold smile could be seen at the corner of his mouth. In order to get rid of this man as soon as possible. . . He used the Imperial Wind Movement Technique to its limit, and the distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer. The assassin was so scared that his soul almost left his body. In order to get rid of this god of slaughter, Guxing. . . He had chosen a place with more people to escape. He had changed his identity more than ten times along the way. However, he was seen through by Guxing without exception. In a moment of desperation, He suddenly turned his head around and shook both of his hands. Immediately, countless silver needles shot towards Guxing like a storm. Seeing this, Guxing quickly retreated and at the same time, he waved Cann Yue in the wind. For a moment, there was a continuous sound of clashing. The fine silver needles that were as fine as cow hair fell all over the ground. However, there were still more than ten silver needles that cleverly avoided Guxing's shot and landed on the surrounding people. They were extremely poisonous. Immediately, screams could be heard as more than a dozen civilians fell to the ground in pain. They died on the spot.
"Bastard! I will never forgive you today!!"
Guxing was extremely furious. He had never thought that this man would be so ruthless. He didn't even let the innocent people go in order to escape. He was treating human lives like grass. In the moment of fury, his speed increased by several times. One man and one sword were like a clap of thunder. Within a few breaths, they caught up with the assassin. At this moment, Guxing suddenly started spinning with his sword. Immediately, a boundless wind started blowing, and a sky-piercing power erupted.
"Tenth style of Ancient Chaotic Sword Arts, Lone Army Attack!"
A thunderous roar was deafening, as if a sharp blade had pierced through a piece of paper. In almost an instant, the assassin's heart was penetrated by Guxing. Looking at the blade that pierced through his body, the assassin opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he still hung his head down powerlessly.
As far as the assassin was concerned, he was already stunning enough. However, compared to Guxing, he was still a little bit lacking. His attack was not stealthy enough, and his speed was still not fast enough.
With an indifferent expression, he pulled Cann Yue back and let the blood beads that were still lingering on the sword slowly slide down. Guxing lifted the sword and jumped. Instantly, he flew swiftly and gracefully, riding the wind.
