C325 The Light in the Darkness

Ding Dingding walked at the back because her line of sight was blocked. She could not see the curved corner in front of her. At this moment, the little girl was thinking about whether or not she should scare Little Ganzi. Why did she secretly tell him to change his position? It was best not to let others hear it. But it was so difficult to achieve this goal.

In the end, just as she was thinking about it, Little Ganoko suddenly stopped in front of her. Ding Dingding, whose mind was filled with thoughts, almost bumped into him. She could not help but feel angry. It turned out that Zhang Jingxuan, who was walking in the first place, suddenly slowed down his pace. The people behind him sensed it at the same time. They also stopped or slowed down.

Almost at the same time, in the dark corner in front of them, someone attacked.

A huge object was suddenly thrown over. That thing was so big. Almost half of the tunnel was occupied by it. Zhang Jingxuan had felt something unusual in front of him just now. He stopped. Such a big object naturally wouldn't be fast. It was easy for Zhang Jingxuan to dodge, but this way, Yuen Luoyuan and the others behind him would be exposed in front of him. Therefore, he could only strike with his palm.

When the palm hit the object, it couldn't help but break into pieces. It fell from the sky and turned out to be a large block of ice. Another palm wind struck from the opposite side, but he still could not see it.

The palm wind was hot. The ice fragments that were smashed into the air by Zhang Jingxuan melted and even turned into water vapor. It rushed towards Zhang Jingxuan and the other three men. The matter happened so suddenly that the few of them hurriedly raised their Qi to protect themselves and used their palms to drive the water vapor out. The tunnel was narrow, and the water vapor instantly became denser. Moreover, when they were forced by the palm wind to hit the roof of the shed, they immediately bounced back. Zhang Jingxuan and the other three still had some strength left to protect themselves. However, none of them noticed that the torches in their hands were extinguished by the water vapor. The tunnel was immediately plunged into darkness. There was not even a tiny bit of light in the tunnel.

When the light suddenly fell into darkness, people's eyes would always have a process of adapting to it. The person lying in ambush in the tunnel was probably an experienced assassin. What they had to wait for was precisely this moment.

The sword wind flashed and the sword intent was awe-inspiring. There were only a few clanking sounds of weapons clashing. Then, with a flash of fire, the passageway lit up once again.

The object of light was in Zhang Jingxuan's hand. The person who attacked them had disappeared without a trace. As for the four of them, two of them had already been injured. Blood dripped onto the ground.

The ones who were injured were Yuen Luoyuan and Gan Shichi.

When the torch was suddenly extinguished, everyone's vision returned to zero for a short period of time. The only thing they could rely on was their hearing and the feeling they had developed over the years.

The person who was lying in ambush stabbed towards Zhang Jingxuan's vitals with his sword. He looked like he wanted to kill Zhang Jingxuan with a single strike. This sword was extremely fast. No one knew if Zhang Jingxuan would be able to dodge it. At this moment, Yuen Luoyuan already had two spears in his hands. He stood in front of Zhang Jingxuan and blocked the attack. The two spears in his hands did not defend at all. Instead, they attacked in front of him. The two spears moved up and down, thrusting and sweeping. Even if his opponent could severely injure Yuen Luoyuan, he wouldn't be able to gain much from it.

When the two spears attacked, Yuen Luoyuan suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. It was a familiar feeling, but it was also very uncomfortable. The current situation made him think of the competition in Shangluo for some reason. Immediately after, Yuen Luoyuan felt someone pull his back. His chest felt cold again. He knew he had been wounded. If it wasn't for Zhang Jingxuan's help, this strike would have taken his life. It seemed like he hadn't used enough strength. Recently, there had been something else that had interfered with his mind.

Putting aside how Yuen Luoyuan felt embarrassed in the darkness, Gan Shichi was also in danger at almost the same time. At the same time that the torch was extinguished, a black blade silently slashed at Gan Shichi's neck. Gan Shichi's eyes were still unable to adapt to the darkness. He could almost see nothing. The opponent had the heart to launch a sneak attack. The blade was black. The technique did not require speed. It only wanted to make it so that no one would be able to guard against it.

If not for the presence of a little Ding Ding, Gan Shichi might have suffered a great loss. After all, his experience in the martial arts world was still his weakness.

In this line of work, if they were to discuss the theory and practical study of assassination and ambush, Ding Dingding would definitely be the number one. Because all of this was because she had put in a lot of effort back then.

At that moment, before the torch extinguished, Ding Dingding had already closed her eyes in advance. In any case, she absolutely believed that the three people in front of her would naturally take responsibility for her if anything happened.

When she opened her eyes again, she would not be blinded by the contrast of light and darkness in an instant. She would have a slight feeling about moving objects.

Therefore, she did not even hesitate to hand over the short knife in her right hand. It happened to collide with her opponent's black knife. A small spark was created. Even so, it was still a little too late. The opponent's black blade had failed to cut Gan Shichi's neck. It had already left a wound on Gan Shichi's right arm.

However, Gan Shichi used the small sparks produced by the collision of the weapons to lock onto the opponent's body. The fish-catching knife in his hand slashed at high speed. The opponent did not stop after the attack missed, and immediately retreated.

What happened just now was very strange. It was as if the opponent had already known where he was and had planned to kill him in advance. However, the sneak attack was so short. The attack did not succeed and immediately retreated without any hesitation.

He did not expect that he would be plotted against in this secret passage. What was even more unexpected was that... He didn't expect that the sneak attack would be so fierce and dangerous. Yuen Luoyuan and Gan Shichi were both injured in one strike, but in the end, they didn't even know who their opponent was.

Zhang Jingxuan decided that they should retreat first before making any further plans. After exiting the tunnel, Zhang Jingxuan furrowed his brows and examined the injuries of Yuen Luoyuan and Gan Shichi. He discovered that the injuries of both of them weren't too serious. Yuen Luoyuan's right chest was struck by a sword. The wound was only half an inch deep. The blood had almost condensed without bandaging. However, his expression did not look good, "It's the Ye family's sword technique again!"

Since his debut, he had been injured twice. Both times, he had been injured by the Ye family's sword technique. This sword technique was known as the number one sword technique in the universe. Yuen Luoyuan had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know whether to say it was an honor or a bad luck. No matter what, Yuen Luoyuan felt that it was best not to have a next time. Although he hadn't stopped practicing his martial arts, he had been distracted by other things recently. It seemed like he had to work harder in the following days!
