Si Qin and his party were exhausted physically and mentally after a long journey. Now that they were finally safe, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
The eldest grandson also breathed a sigh of relief.
I had just received the task assigned by my husband, and I was actually very nervous. Now that the task was about to be completed, I felt relaxed.
At this moment, something suddenly changed, and the Su family suddenly became chaotic. Among the noise, someone shouted, "It's bad, there's a fire."
At this moment, Si Qin and his party had just entered the mansion and something like this happened. Someone must have wanted to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
The three of them, Changsun, thought of this in unison, and immediately responded with action. Changsun, Lei Quan, and Pu Ruili leaned towards Siqin in tacit agreement.
As soon as Changsun took action, he suddenly became alert and felt that something was a little abnormal, but it was already too late.
A figure suddenly rushed out from among the maids. The three of them had time to exclaim, but when they tried to stop them, the figure had already rushed in front of Siqin.
Among the people present, only Siqin could clearly see this figure. This person was one of the maids leading the way, but it was obvious that this person was not a maid. Even with Si Qin's subtle perception, he did not notice anything unusual about this person in advance. .
But what shocked Siqin was that at this moment, this person had rushed in front of him, and he still couldn't see his face clearly.
It's a killer, Si Qin thought in his mind at this moment.
The eldest grandson was the first among the three to notice something unusual. As soon as the figure rushed out, the eldest grandson chased after him, but he was still a step too slow. Fortunately, the eldest grandson was not far from Siqin.
When the killer was one step away from Siqin, the eldest grandson arrived first and stood in front of Siqin.
Even if he was face to face, it was still difficult to see the killer's face clearly, but what really surprised him was that he didn't feel a trace of murderous intent in his actions, and he couldn't even feel a trace of hostility until the man took out a dagger from his sleeve. , Changsun immediately felt a strong killing intent coming over him.
At this time, the distance between the two was very close. The killer put his left hand on his waist, lowered his right hand, took out a one-foot-long dagger from the sleeve of his left hand, and stabbed the eldest grandson.
From the killer's movements, Changsun could infer that he was a swordsman and was used to hanging his sword on his left waist.
It stands to reason that drawing a sword from such a close distance, even a dagger, would seem too hasty.
However, this man's movement of drawing the sword was as natural as flowing clouds and flowing water, with a steady rhythm, and even his breathing did not have any ups and downs. It was as natural as during countless trainings.
But in Zhangsun's eyes, he saw that there was indeed no flaw. He drew the sword at such a close range. Zhangsun felt that in the process, he had countless opportunities to stop the opponent.
However, Changsun did not make any move as if he had cast a restraining spell, and allowed the killer to pull out his sword and stab him.
It wasn't that the eldest grandson was frightened out of his wits, but that the eldest grandson realized that as long as he took action, the person on the opposite side would have the opportunity to get past him and stab Si Qin.
The eldest grandson felt great pressure.
From the very beginning, he fell into the opponent's rhythm, and all his actions were guided by the opponent. The person opposite stared at him like a poisonous snake. As long as he made the slightest move, he would be in crisis.
Li Youran felt that things were not going well today. After getting the news, he followed Siqin and others into the city. Su Yuanzhi protected him on the way and he was unable to do anything.
In the end, she had no choice but to pretend to be a maid. Li Youran actually did not object to men disguising themselves as women, but she couldn't stand the strong smell of rouge on her body. Relatively speaking, she was more tolerant of the smell of blood.
In the end, what Li Youran didn't expect was that someone actually saw his disguise and stood in front of Siqin.
But this is just a little trouble for Li Youran. For professional killers, there are a hundred ways to kill people, they just have to choose the one with the least effort. Now that there is some trouble, they can only put more effort.
Li Youran thought this, but his emotions did not fluctuate at all, so he stabbed out with the sword in his hand without any trembling.
When Li Youran thought about it, the person standing in front of Siqin must be subconsciously trying to stop him or avoid him. As long as he made a move, he would have room to attack from other directions and kill Siqin.
However, what Li Youran didn't expect was that when he raised his head and looked at Changsun, Changsun was looking at his sword seriously, intently and calmly.
Li Youran could understand the first two emotions. When everyone responded to his sword moves, they all had solemn eyes and focused expressions, trying to find flaws and resolve them, but Li Youran was very confident that no one could crack his sword moves.
However, Li Youran couldn't understand Changsun's calmness at this moment.
Li Youran couldn't understand that there were people who were not afraid of his sword moves, even if they were panicked.
Changsun fully understood the terrifying power of Li Youran's sword at this moment.
Just like Li Youran's confidence, Changsun felt that he had nowhere to hide when faced with Li Youran's stab.
It's not that Li Youran's sword is so exquisite, but that this sword is very straight.
Yes, in Changsun's perception, this sword is straight.
The straightness that goes straight to the depths, the straightness that takes people's lives.
How to deal with such a straight thrust is very simple, just block it.
But for Changsun, there was no weapon at hand at the moment, so this simple block became difficult.
In the blink of an eye, Li Youran's dagger was already in front of his eyes. Changsun raised his left hand and faced it without any hesitation.
Li Youran's eyes were surprised for the first time, but the one who was even more surprised was the eldest grandson. Before Li Youran's dagger hit Changsun's palm, Changsun felt the sharp sword energy.
The eldest grandson could infer that Li Youran had not reached the magician realm, and should be a traveler realm like himself, otherwise he would have had the chance to kill his group when they first entered the Su family's courtyard.
And a warrior in the Walker realm can actually produce sword energy. Although he cannot completely separate the sword energy from his body, he is already a genius.
The sword energy not only stabbed Changsun's palm, but also stabbed Changsun's left chest through Changsun's hand.
When the two of them were surprised, the dagger in Li Youran's hand had already pierced Changsun's left hand.
However, at this moment, Changsun seemed to have turned off his sense of pain, his eyes were calm, without a trace of ripples. At the same time, after the dagger pierced Changsun's left hand, Changsun's fingers of his left hand came together and he firmly grasped Li Youran's dagger.
The look of surprise in Li Youran's eyes gradually grew, but without any pause in his hand, the dagger pierced the back of his hand and stabbed Changsun's heart with an indomitable momentum.
While Zhang Sun grabbed Li Youran's dagger with his left hand, he stepped forward with his right hand to support his left hand to stop the dagger's attack.
However, what Changsun didn't expect was that Li Youran's sword actually burst out with huge energy. It can be seen that Li Youran still did not underestimate the enemy despite such precise arrangements at the beginning. This sword was aimed at not achieving the goal. The momentum stabbed him over.
Li Youran's sword was straight and without any deviation, and it penetrated Changsun's left chest.
Even though Changsun tried his best, he still couldn't stop the sword's movement.
The eldest grandson took half a step back, and his back was already touching Siqin.
Li Youran's sword had already penetrated Changsun's left chest, but it could not go any further.
The eldest grandson still looked at Li Youran calmly. The surprise in Li Youran's eyes had faded, and he looked at the eldest grandson without any trouble.
There was a brief calm in the field, and the dog-like dog was lying on the ground, ready to pounce on Li Youran. The spell in Purui's mouth was only missing the last syllable.
However, no one took any action, because if Li Youran's sword advanced even a little further, it would penetrate Changsun's heart.
At this moment, the eldest grandson was like walking on a tightrope, but he spoke unusually calmly: "How did you find me?"
No one thought that at this moment of life and death, Changsun was not concerned about how to escape, but how his disguise was seen through.
Only Li Youran was not surprised by this, because the same question also existed in his mind.
"The smell of rouge is too strong and too deliberate." Li Youran spoke calmly. It was a male voice, but his voice was unusually ordinary, making it impossible to distinguish any characteristics.
After listening, Changsun actually lowered his head and smelled it. It was indeed as Li Youran said, the smell of rouge was too strong.
If such a rouge smell appeared on an ordinary girl, it wouldn't be a problem, but for Si Qin, who had been traveling long distances for many days, it seemed a bit strong.
"How did you find me?"
Li Youran asked the same question.
"The smell of rouge is too strong and too deliberate."
The eldest grandson gave the same answer. Everyone present felt that the eldest grandson was playing tricks on Li Youran, but the eldest grandson looked serious when he answered.
After hearing this, Li Youran lowered his head and smelled it. After thinking for a moment, he realized that Changsun was not playing tricks on him, but that the smell of rouge was really too strong.
For a hunter like Zhangsun who is good at hunting, he has a keen sense of murderous aura.
But for a killer like Li Youran, murderous intent is always difficult to hide.
In order to prevent Zhangsun and others from noticing, Li Youran used the smell of rouge to cover up his murderous intent. Thinking about it now, it does seem too deliberate.
In fact, there is another thing that Li Youran did not expect. For maids, the strong smell of rouge on their bodies can sometimes arouse the disgust of their masters, so few maids wear thick rouge.
Changsun noticed something strange about Li Youran when he entered the courtyard.
Only a few words had passed since Li Youran launched his attack, and Su Yuanzhi and others had not noticed anything unusual here.
Li Youran now controls the life and death of his eldest grandson, and therefore has the initiative on the field.
However, Changsun didn't feel any nervous at this moment. Instead, he stared at Li Youran calmly, which made people feel like he was provoking.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Li Youran suddenly put away his sword, just as naturally as the servant put away his broom after sweeping the floor at the door, which surprised everyone.
Only then did Changsun let out a low groan, but did not continue to moan in pain. Lei Quan and Pu Ruili hurriedly stepped forward to support their eldest grandson, but did not dare to attack Li Youran rashly. Although they did not fight Li Youran head-on, they both felt how powerful he was.
Changsun asked slowly, "Why did you stop?"
Li Youran said: "I, Li Youran, never kill more people than the target."
