On the second day of May, at midnight, outside Pufu in the capital.
Chu Zongyang is waiting.
His knife was waiting, too.
But in fact, he was unwilling to wait.
Because he is a person who likes to be alone. This is true in daily life and also at work.
Another reason is that he doesn't want to expose his Xi Chen Dao.
One of the Four Divine Weapons, the famous sword "Xi Chen", was currently hidden in the simple scabbard held in Chu Zongyang's arms.
It doesn't matter if the scabbard is not worthy of Xichen, as long as the person is worthy.
Is Chu Zongyang worthy of using magic weapons?
Worthy.
Because he is the most reliable killer in the world.
Note that it is not the strongest, but the most reliable. The latter has a higher reputation value than the former.
He received many commissions of all kinds, but without exception, he completed them all and completed them well.
Chu Zongyang is by no means the strongest killer on the murder list, but he is the most difficult and difficult killer to deal with. In order to achieve his goal, he will do anything.
Of course, Chu Zongyang's own martial arts is also excellent. Like his target this time, Master Wharton, he is a near-first-class master in the world.
Just after midnight, there was a subtle sound behind Chu Zongyang, and he knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived:
"Are you all ready?"
"alright."
The three men in black said in unison, two with empty hands and one with a sword on his back. They were sent by Chu Zongyang's employer to assist in the task.
"Then let's go." Chu Zongyang raised his body and stepped on the outer wall of Pufu. The other three followed closely. The four killers moved around on the roof and quickly approached the building where Wharton lived. Wing room.
…………
Chu Zongyang believes that the difficulty in assassinating Wharton is not the target itself, but the location of the target - Pufu.
The martial arts guards in Pufu are just ordinary people who know a few foreign martial arts. To put it bluntly, they are just like farmers, so there is nothing to worry about, but there are still capable people in Pufu.
In addition to Pu Cha Shi, the frivolous young master, there are also Zhuo Jing, the teacher who taught him martial arts, and Tian Weicheng, the bodyguard of Mr. Pu.
Although Zhuo Jing is a female, she is an expert at wielding a pear-shaped silver spear; while Tian Weicheng has been famous for many years and is the leading sharp swordsman in the world. He can move the knife as fast as flying, as if there are wings on the back of the knife, so he is nicknamed "Putting Wings" knife".
Once Chu Zongyang fails to succeed, he will have to fight with Wharton, and it won't take long before he will be surrounded by the above three people. Chu Zongyang was powerful, but it was difficult for him to defeat four hands with two fists, and it would be difficult to break out of the encirclement. Therefore, Chu Zongyang's employer assigned three helpers to help him.
But Chu Zongyang didn't appreciate it. On the roof, four people climbed over the eaves and walked over the wall. Chu Zongyang took the lead. He seemed to be focusing on leading the way, but in fact he was always wary of what was behind him: "Huh, give me these three big guys, what's the use besides tripping me up?"
"Looking at their body skills, the two with bare hands should be practicing the martial arts of the Four Elephants Sect, and the one with the sword seems to be from the Xi Sword Sect. They are all righteous in the world."
"At first, my employer insisted on sending someone to help. I thought someone was tampering with the situation and setting a trap to deal with me. Since this guy came, it seems that I was overthinking. These three together are not enough for me to fight with one hand. "
"If it's in the way, it's better not to come. Forget it, I'll make the best use of it."
According to Chu Zongyang's behavior, the highest priority is not the completion of the task, but his own life safety. There are many ways to get rid of Wharton. Even if he lives deep in Pufu, Chu Zongyang can use a more reliable method, such as poisoning him from the source. A strong attack like tonight's was definitely a bad idea. Unfortunately, the employer's condition was that he should bring Wharton's head back, so Chu Zongyang could only take the risk.
In Chu Zongyang's eyes, these three people sent by their employer to assist him were just tools, cannon fodder and consumables. In fact, even if all of them could escape unharmed, Chu Zongyang himself would attack these three people: as mentioned above, he did not want to expose his Xichen Dao.
"Look, there is light in a room in the east wing." The one from the Xijian Sect pointed forward.
"...I saw it." Chu Zongyang really wanted to slap that man to death. No one is blind, and they don’t understand the rules of keeping silent as much as possible during operations. How unprofessional is this?
"Go and try the room with the light on. Get rid of the threat inside." Chu Zongyang pointed at a man in black.
"Okay." The person who was called was the friend from Sixiangmen. He performed his sect's light skill "Suzaku Wandering", landed lightly in the courtyard, and approached the lighted room.
I would like to add that Chu Zongyang did not make a mistake. These three tool men were indeed from the Xijian Sect and the Four Elephants Sect.
The leader of the Xi Sword Sect is Gu Mingkong, the famous "Sword God" in the world. This man has been devoted to the sword all his life and is extremely skilled in the sword. He is well-deserved to be the best swordsman in the world.
Gu Mingkong's martial arts is very high, ranking among the top three in the martial arts world, but the status of the Xijian Sect is not equivalent to the leader's martial arts status. The main reason is that Gu Mingkong is not good at teaching disciples, or in other words, his tricks Sword training techniques cannot be copied by apprentices.
His knowledge of swordsmanship was gained through repeated dangers, death, and death, and he was trained in the gates of hell. How can he imitate this? Many disciples of the Xijian Sect have played themselves to death, resulting in a sect that is not only underpopulated but also weak in strength. The eldest brother of the Xijian Sect who came to Pufu this time to help is already considered the leader of the sect.
The situation of the Sixiang Sect is much better than that of the Xi Sword Sect. Although the sect does not have a first-class super master like Gu Mingkong, there are several near-first-class masters and many disciples under its command. It is a healthy development of the world. sect.
What ensures that the Four Elephants Sect is rich in fresh blood is the cornerstone of the established sect and the unique martial arts technique - the "Four Elephant Divine Skills". It is actually a combination of four different exercises.
The four images are Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu, and the corresponding martial arts are Qinglong Jiao, White Tiger Hunting, Zhuque You, and Xuanwu Yu. Among them, except Zhuque You, which is a light kung fu, the other three martial arts are all outsiders' kung fu.
The biggest advantages of this magical skill are two words: it is easy to practice, and the threshold for learning is extremely low. Basically, anyone with sound limbs can learn it. Of course, the final learning results are not guaranteed. If the strength demonstration diagram of the members of the Xijian Sect is in the shape of a pyramid, then the Four Elephants Gate is in the shape of a spindle, with strong strength in the middle.
Similarly, the strength of the two Four Elephant Sect disciples sent by their employer is also reasonable. Each of them has learned two of the Four Elephant Divine Skills and mastered them skillfully. You must know that the leader of the Four Elephant Sect is only proficient in three. .
The old brother who was sent down by Chu Zongyang to investigate had two martial arts: Zhuqueyou and White Tiger Hunting. They just moved with one palm and attacked with one division, which complemented each other. He lay quietly outside the door, held his breath and listened for a while. After finding that he couldn't hear anything, he decided to open the door and go in to take a look.
So he did. But as soon as he half-opened the door, there was the sound of some kind of mechanical transmission from behind the door. At the same time, the candle suddenly went out, and three tube-shaped objects in the shape of a "pin" were shot towards the door in the darkness. Two of them hit him unprepared, and the last one hit his right eye.
These three tubes are not hidden dart weapons, but are made by breaking off ordinary writing brushes and sharpening the fractures. Although the workmanship is rough, they are easy to use. The man in black struggled for a few seconds before dying, and the pain in his right eye caused him to howl miserably before dying.
"This idiot!" Chu Zongyang's eyes were splitting. He had already alerted the enemy tonight, and a sneak attack was meaningless. Retreating was the best option at this time, so he had no choice but to try again later.
Of course, Chu Zongyang thought this way, but some people didn't. Another tool man from Sixiang Sect said sadly "Junior brother!" and also used Qinggong to rush down.
"...Well, now that the matter has come to this, it is better to kill Wharton as soon as possible, otherwise after tonight, Wharton will be more difficult to kill if he is prepared." Chu Zongyang made the mistake and ordered the Xi Jian Sect tool man: "Don't worry about plotting against us. He's a man, just go into the house, kill Wharton and leave."
"Two benefactors, I don't know when and where the poor monk provoked you, but you two actually want to confront the poor monk with swords?"
Just a short time after the incident, Wharton had woken up from his sleep, came to the roof, and heard Chu Zongyang's words.
"Come together!" Chu Zongyang didn't answer what he was thinking. He took out the Xichen knife from his waist and faced him bravely.
The words were divided into two parts, Yun Ming was now facing off against the enemies of Sixiang Gate.
The reason why he stayed up most of the night was definitely not because of the unknown, but because he was really not sleepy enough to fall asleep. According to the biological clock of modern people, twelve o'clock in the evening is not too late, but in ancient times, people had already entered a deep sleep. Therefore, in the east of Pu Mansion, only Yun Ming's house has lights on, which is as eye-catching as the thousands of flowers. If you hit a little green, no wonder the killers want to come over and take a look.
As for the crossbow arrows made with brushes, ropes and other objects, they were self-defense mechanisms set up by Yun Ming. They were easy to install and dismantle. He himself did not expect that this simple device would achieve great success on the first night.
When the trap was activated, Yun Ming was lying on the bed in a daze. When he heard the sound of the machine transmitting, he knew someone had opened the door. He immediately blew out the candle, took out a wooden bayonet made of the thickest brush holder from under his pillow, and sneaked to the door in the dark.
"It hit the eyeball and chest. He is dead. I am so lucky. I have been unable to adjust the parabola emitted by the pen barrel accurately. It was a pure coincidence that I was able to kill this person."
Before Yun Ming could examine the body more, a mournful cry came from above his head: "Junior brother!" Another man in black stood in front of Yun Ming.
"There's more?" Yun Ming was shocked and doubtful, and hurriedly hid in the room. Brother Sixiangmen blew the door away with one punch: "Give my brother his life!"
This senior brother practices Zhuqueyou and Xuanwuyu. The latter is similar to the Golden Bell Iron Shirt. It is a kind of internal martial arts. The practitioner can be invulnerable. Yun Ming cannot win with the wooden bayonet in his hand. Although Yun Ming didn't know this, he instinctively felt that he couldn't beat him, so he put all his thoughts on escaping.
"Chi-", this is the sound of a sword piercing flesh. The Xi Sword Sect succeeded, and his sword pierced Wharton's heart. He should have won, but...
"Don't blame the donor. The poor monk will save the donor." Wharton turned a blind eye to the sharp sword on his chest. He raised his hand to catch the arm of the Xijian Sect, and then pinched his forearm hard. Dear brother of the Xijian Sect, He fell to the ground.
"Dharma transfer technique?" Chu Zongyang saw clearly from behind.
Wharton pulled out the long sword from his heart: "Exactly." Just now, he moved his heart elsewhere. The Xi Sword Sect only stabbed the muscle; but Wharton's pinch was to pinch the opponent. on the heart, directly destroying the enemy's organs.
"Huh?" Wharton glanced at the courtyard with the corner of his eye and saw Yun Ming being chased: "Donor Yun, don't panic, I'll help you!" After saying that, he abandoned Chu Zongyang and headed towards the Four Elephants Gate.
Xuanwuyu is very good at defense, but "Dharma Shifting Technique" is not a martial art, but a super power, and Xuanwuyu is useless at all. After a few rounds, Brother Sixiangmen died of cardiopulmonary injury.
"Thank you, Master, for saving your life." If Wharton came a little later, Yun Ming would really be unable to hold on.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter... uh..." Wharton, who was calm and calm a second ago, suddenly vomited blood and his face was like gold paper: "Oh no, a strange disease has occurred at this moment... bad!"
Wharton reluctantly raised his head and met the brilliant edge of the Xichen Knife.
"It's really a bright future," Chu Zongyang put Wharton's head in the bag: "I thought it wouldn't happen tonight. By the way, there is also a little mouse who almost ruined my life, so hurry up and silence him."
Yun Ming took advantage of the sudden change and ran to the door of the east wing. Before going out, he glanced back and happened to be looking at Chu Zongyang.
When they looked at each other, both of them stood still.
"Kill him!" Even Chu Zongyang himself didn't understand why he had such murderous intention in his heart, so he was very serious and attacked with a knife.
However, Chu Zongyang's attack was broken by a wave of sound: "Who dares to make trouble in Pufu?". This is the sound transmission of inner strength and should not be used by those who are not extremely pure in martial arts.
The identity of the visitor was very clear: "The Winged Knife" Tian Weicheng.
"Tch." Chu Zongyang knew that the delay was too long and had to withdraw. He firmly remembered Yun Ming's appearance, jumped up to the eaves, and disappeared into the night.
What Chu Zongyang, who was running away, didn't know was that Yun Ming had the same idea as his goal:
"Kill him! Must kill him!"
