In Taiyuan City, there was deathly silence on the streets outside Wenchangfang.
Dugu Xin, with one sword and one man, was holding his breath and facing the air. But just before, dozens of glowing arrows were suddenly shot at him from the wall around him. If he hadn't been a master martial artist, Master, if it weren't for the exquisite swordsmanship of Dugu Nine Swords, just this volley would be enough to injure him!
Because the opponent suddenly launched an attack in the dark, and in a hasty response, Duguxin focused all his attention on swordsmanship and life-saving, so he did not pay attention to the enemy's specific location at that time. Now that the enemy's offensive has been suspended, Dugu Xin finally has time to look at his surroundings. However, at this time, there is no one around him. If it weren't for the dozens of chopped arrows "lying" on the ground, Dugu Xin would have thought that just now The frightening scene I experienced was an illusion!
Master!
Among the opponents, there is definitely a martial arts master, and there is more than one person!
Because when Dugu Xin was resisting the rain of arrows just now, he clearly felt that several of the feather arrows carried huge amounts of Qi. The martial arts realm of the archer was definitely at the peak of Qi transformation or above! And except for those few extremely powerful Zhenqi feather arrows, the rest of the assassin's archery skills should be very good, all above the Qi transformation realm!
How did such a powerful assassination team sneak into Taiyuan City? And why did you choose to attack yourself at this time?
At this moment, many questions flashed through Dugu Xin's mind!
Since he only went to the south of the city to see if Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan had been caught, when he came out of the post house, he did not bring any guards. Not only did he not bring any guards, he even brought the distress fireworks distributed by the imperial army. None! At this time, he was alone, but he still had no fear!
"Boohoo~!"
Dugu Xin happened to be standing at the intersection of two square roads at this moment. His upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right corners were all the walls of the folk square. Just when Dugu Xin was holding his breath and on full alert, civilians on all sides surrounded him. Above the square wall, dozens of masked men in black suddenly popped up. Faced with Dugu Xin's previous shouts and questions, they did not make a sound, but directly responded with a new round of arrow rain!
"Hmph! Dugu Nine Swords - Broken Arrow Style!"
Dugu Xin was unprepared before, and even that volley of arrows couldn't hurt him. Now he was already on guard, so how could he be afraid of the black-clothed assassin's repeated tricks? He just heard him snort coldly, and then the tip of the long sword in his hand trembled, and he shot the arrows that were shooting around him one by one. He drew the sword too fast, and ordinary people could only see countless blurry shapes in the air. Sword Shadow followed and heard a crisp sound of "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding out out out!"
Compared with the previous response, Dugu Xin responded more calmly and calmly this time! Obviously, with his full defense, the volleys from dozens of black-clothed masters could not hurt him!
The "Broken Arrow Style" of Dugu Nine Swords is originally a supreme sword technique for breaking all kinds of hidden weapons, but Dugu Xin has just begun to get a glimpse of it. If he masters Dugu Nine Swords, with this move alone, he can not only resolve his own crisis, It can also bounce arrows shot by the enemy back to injure the enemy!
But even if this is the case, it is completely enough for Dugu Xin now! Because this arrow-breaking move can not only break the enemy's volley of arrows that threatens him the most, but the most important thing is that Dugu Nine Swords emphasizes intention rather than form. He can win with no moves but with moves, and it does not consume true energy at all. many!
So even if these black-clothed masters fired volleys of bows and arrows here for an hour, Dugu Xin was still confident that he could resist them with the broken arrow style!
This is Taiyuan City. There are not only patrolling government officials but also garrison troops stationed in the city. As long as he holds these men in black for a quarter of an hour, he will definitely be able to wait for rescue. Therefore, Dugu Xin is not too worried about his life safety at this moment! Unless the masters in black in front of them have other methods!
"The idea is prickly, and the smoke is spreading!"
On the east wall, a masked man in black put away his long bow, quickly took out a small purse of gray muslin from his arms, and whispered to the people around him.
This man spoke Turkic, and Dugu Xin didn't understand him!
It seems that this guy should be the leader of this group of masked men. Obviously, after seeing Dugu Xin's exquisite swordsmanship and superb martial arts realm, he also understood that it would be difficult to hurt Dugu Xin just by relying on the volley of arrows that had been tried and tested in their previous assassinations. And their assassination today must be The battle was quick, so he had to change his strategy, abandon the bow and use poison!
It just so happens that they all have their faces covered, so even if they release poisonous smoke, they won't poison themselves!
Soon after, after the masked leader gave the order, the men in black on the walls surrounding Dugu Xin all took out the powder wrapped in gray fine cloth from their arms, and then in unison, they moved toward Dugu Xin. Smash it hard in the direction!
All this happened a bit quickly, and Dugu Xin was caught off guard. He could tell that what these men in black threw at him was not a hidden weapon, but it was definitely not a good thing. It was probably some drugs that could make him lose his fighting ability!
Twenty-two small packages were spread out on top of Dugu Xin's head, and the white powder in the package immediately poured down. Although Dugu Xin's Dugu Nine Swords - Broken Arrow Style can prevent the sky-wide rain of arrows, how can it prevent it? Can you survive this sky full of powdered medicine and dust?
Dugu Xin immediately held his breath and retreated like lightning. He was facing the east at this time, and his retreat was towards the west. But what a coincidence, the east wind was blowing in Taiyuan City at this time! Although Dugu Xin retreated quickly, he inevitably inhaled some of the powder and smoke when the sky was blown by the wind!
"Kill! Quick victory!"
The leading masked assassin roared, drew out the sword from his waist, rose into the air from the wall, and then slashed hard at Dugu Xin!
The other twenty-one assassins followed the lead assassin's movements and drew their swords to strike at Dugu Xin!
"Hmph! Well done! Gufeng Sword Technique!"
Dugu Xin was not afraid at all, a fierce look flashed in his eyes! Previously, these assassins were conducting long-range attacks on the wall. It was not easy for him to defeat them one by one, because it was difficult for the body to change directions at high altitude. If he used light skills to climb up the wall and kill one assassin, the other assassins would definitely be the first to attack. Time shot an arrow at him. At that time, not only was it difficult for him to change his body position in the air, but it was also difficult to use the Dugu Nine Swords - Broken Arrow Style!
Now these people are voluntarily giving up long-range attack methods and switching to close combat. This is exactly what Duguxin wants, because in terms of close combat, he has mastered Gufeng Sword Technique and Dugu Sword Technique and is not afraid of these at all. Black assassin!
I saw Dugu Xin rising into the air, spinning in the air, the dazzling sword light rising straight up, like a gorgeous silver dragon, the pure and arrogant sword intent filled the entire alley, and then, I saw the dazzling sword In an instant, Mang faced the twenty-two sharp swords coming from all directions!
"Ding ding ding~!"
A harsh metallic sound suddenly resounded throughout the neighborhood. Since it was almost around midnight, those who were supposed to go out to work had already gone to work, and those who were supposed to go to the market to buy things had already gone, so there were not many pedestrians on the alley here, but there was a sharp metal sound. , but it inevitably alarmed many people in the house!
Some bold "melon-eating people" are coming this way!
"Hmph! Dying struggle!"
At this time, the leading masked assassin couldn't help but snorted.
Dugu Xin couldn't help but be startled, because the assassin leader spoke Chinese this time!
"Are you Han Chinese?"
Dugu Xin couldn't help but exclaimed subconsciously.
But with his opening his mouth, he inevitably inhaled some medicinal powder in the air. After realizing something was wrong, Dugu Xin quickly shut up.
The assassin leader snorted coldly at this time, his whole aura suddenly changed, his whole body was filled with true energy, and the sword in his hand was full of sword energy, and he made a loud sword cry, and then he suddenly disappeared from the place. Got it!
right! The whole person suddenly disappeared!
Dugu Xin suddenly became alarmed. He subconsciously moved his footwork and slightly tilted his body three inches to the right. At the same time, a long sword with a light blue light appeared in front of him without any warning. The left side of his body grazed the belt on his body, and he stabbed forward so hard!
Apparently, the missing leader of the men in black launched a fatal attack from behind!
If Dugu Xin hadn't subconsciously tilted his body slightly to the right just now, this sword would have directly pierced his entire body!
Grand master!
This was the first time that Dugu Xin had a head-to-head confrontation with the assassin leader, but it was this confrontation that made him realize that he had underestimated the opponent's strength. The assassin leader in black turned out to be a master-level martial arts master, and he seemed to be a professional in The assassination of a master-level master!
At this moment, Dugu Xin suddenly felt a little dizzy in his head. He understood that this was the effect of the medicine powder that the other party had sprinkled before. This made him feel a shiver in his heart. The other party's strength was higher than he had previously expected. , and now he has been poisoned by the other party. It can be said that the house is leaking but it rains all night, and the boat is broken and the wind is blowing against him!
Dugu knew clearly in his confidence that if he could not get out of trouble in a short time, or if reinforcements could not arrive before he fell, then he would probably end up here today!
"Huh?"
The killing blow missed, and the assassin leader said "Hey" in surprise. Then, he raised his sleeves slightly, and several points of cold light shot out from his sleeves, heading straight for Dugu Xin's face!
hidden weapon! As a master at the master level, this assassin leader actually carries a hidden weapon with him, which really refreshes Dugu Xin's "three views"!
Because generally warriors who have entered the Grand Master realm have their own pride, and generally disdain to use dirty methods such as hidden weapons and poisons, but the black-clothed assassin leader in front of him not only uses poisons, but also carries them with him. Carrying a concealed weapon, you really can do anything!
Although these cold lights looked like nothing more than thin needles and could not cause much damage if they penetrated the body, after experiencing the vicious methods of the black-clothed assassin leader, Dugu Xin did not dare to use his own body to forcefully intercept them, because God knows the other party Will poison be applied to concealed weapons?
At the critical moment, Dugu Xin retreated sharply and once again used the broken arrow style of Dugu's Nine Swords, which was specially designed to deal with all hidden weapons. The long sword in his hand was seen flying up and down, and more than ten arrows shot by the leader of the men in black. The thin needles were all knocked to the ground by the long sword in Dugu Xin's hand!
But at the same time, the other assassins behind Dugu Xin took advantage of Dugu Xin's breathing time to swing their swords together and stabbed Dugu Xin hard in the back!
Feeling the surge of sword energy behind him, Dugu Xin forced his luck to dodge, but the dizziness in his head became more and more intense. He couldn't help but stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and the tip of the long sword behind him , but he is getting closer and closer!
"I can't die here!"
The strong sense of survival brought a moment of clarity to Dugu Xin's mind. As a result, Dugu Xin used the unique footwork of the Dugu family and managed to avoid the sneak attacks of the assassins behind him!
A hint of joking flashed in the eyes of the assassin leader. Apparently, he had seen that Dugu Xin was at the end of his strength at this time!
"Hmph~! Let's see how long you can last~!"
The assassin leader gave a low drink and disappeared from the place again. The next moment, he appeared above Dugu Xin's head. Dugu Xin bit the tip of his tongue hard to keep himself awake. Then, he appeared again Use your footwork and retreat from where you are!
At this time, Dugu Xin no longer wanted to injure or kill the opponent. His strength and condition did not allow it. He now only wanted to save his own life before reinforcements arrived!
Since Gufeng Sword Technique and Dugu Nine Swordsmanship are both offensive and non-defensive sword moves, at this time, Dugu Xin had even given up on using sword moves and only used his body skills to dodge!
It is said that if Li Zexuan had taught Dugu Xin the secrets of Tai Chi Sword Technique before, Dugu Xin would not be so strenuous now, because the "full defense" version of Tai Chi Sword Technique not only has amazing defensive power, but also consumes the warrior's physical strength and true energy. It is also far smaller than other sword moves, and is most suitable for Dugu Xin's current situation!
Here, Duguxin relied on his tenacious willpower to resist the surging attacks of drug addicts and assassins in black. At this time, a well-dressed man in black with a round collar ran from the end of the alley towards the north. And if you are familiar with the Wang family, you will definitely be able to tell that this is the secret guard of the Wang family!
Because Bai Qing was afraid that his achievements would be robbed, he returned to the Wang family's ancestral home alone to report the news. The Wang family's secret guards in other places in the city did not know that Wang Chengwu had captured Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan under the leadership of Wang Qing. , so they are still searching for the whereabouts of these two people in various private houses!
The battle between Dugu Xin and the assassins in black can disturb the people in the houses, and will naturally alarm the nearby Wang family secret guards. When Dugu Xin led the army into the city yesterday, many people in Taiyuan City had seen Dugu Xin's appearance. appearance, including some of the Wang family’s secret guards!
Coincidentally, the Wang family secret guard responsible for searching this area met Dugu Xin yesterday!
So when he saw Dugu Xin being assassinated, he hurried back to report the news!
