The Thousand-faced King looked at the thick smoke rising in front of him and laughed proudly. He never imagined that this so-called Dongshan Hou would kill himself like this.
Originally, the Thousand-Faced King was a little wary of this person, but now that they have met, he feels that this person is just an embroidered pillow, just putting on airs.
The Thousand-faced King shook his head and was about to step forward, when he and his men planned to finish off this group of guards.
In the rising smoke, a cold voice suddenly sounded, "King of Thousand Faces, are you happy too early?"
Hearing the familiar voice, the Thousand-faced King's steps stopped and his expression changed. When the smoke dissipated, Su Qi'an, who was thought to have been killed, actually appeared in front of him alive.
Looking at this scene, the Thousand-Faced King instantly understood that the explosion just now was very loud, but there was not much explosives, and since he was wearing armor, even if he was injured, it wouldn't be much.
The Thousand-faced King said in a low voice, "Okay, Lord Dongshan, you are so ridiculous!"
"King of Thousand Faces, you are number two on the killer list after all. You are an old man in the world. Don't you understand that a soldier never tires of deceit?"
"To deal with people like you, any strategy is nothing. Thousand-faced King, now that your iron claw has been taken by me, why don't you just surrender?"
Su Qi'an smiled, holding the iron claw of the Thousand-Faced King, as if watching a show.
The Thousand-Faced King, who is second on the killer list, relies most not only on his flexible skills, but also on the iron claws on his arms, which have great merits.
These iron claws are made of rare metals and are so hard that they can even tear apart shields.
It is said that in order to build this pair of iron claws, the Thousand-Faced King spent most of his wealth over the years.
Although it hurts, having this pair of iron claws allows the Thousand-Faced King to dominate the killer organization.
It was precisely because of this iron claw that he was qualified to build the so-called secret door.
Su Qi'an's original purpose was to get rid of his iron claws. Without such a sharp weapon, the Thousand Faces King's strength would be reduced by at least half.
A dozen secret door killers, because of the wrong timing, quickly retreated and returned behind the Thousand-Faced King.
The two sides were in a stalemate again, and the Thousand-Faced King was not annoyed. His face was gloomy, like a wild beast, and his eyes were fixed on Su Qi'an.
Then he ordered, "Come for me! Whoever can kill Su Qi'an will be the second-in-command of the secret door," and he was rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver. "
This time the Thousand-faced King is spending a lot of money, and he is determined to kill Su Qi'an no matter what.
When the subordinates heard what the Thousand Faced King said, they screamed and rushed towards Su Qian without fear of death.
The Thousand-faced King, who was standing there, seemed to be looking for a fighter opportunity and wanted to take action against Su Qi'an again.
In an instant, the two sides fell into a fierce battle again. At this moment, the Thousand-Faced King, who was planning to take action, finally took action.
The ever-vigilant guard's eyes narrowed, and he was about to take action, but the next moment, the Thousand-Faced King's behavior shocked everyone.
The gangster killer who ranked second on the killer list, instead of taking action, ran away.
After a few moves, the body quickly retreated, and the distance was tens of meters away in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the voice of the Thousand-faced King rang out, "Su Qian, I was careless this time. You are lucky. Good luck saved a life, but next time, I will kill you! Keep your life well, you My life is mine, hahaha."
A proud voice sounded, and under the astonished gazes of everyone, the Thousand-Faced King quickly disappeared from sight.
The new soldiers reacted and tried to chase him, but it was too late. After all, who would have thought that the Thousand-Faced King, who was second on the killer list, would just run away.
If this spreads out, it is destined to be ridiculed by countless underworld killers.
But for the Thousand-Faced King, the so-called ridicule means nothing if he can save his life.
This time, he was indeed careless and lost his most powerful weapon. It was impossible to kill Su Qi'an who was protected by everyone.
Moreover, Su Qi'an himself wore a very hard armor that even his iron claws could not scratch.
Under such heavy protection, he lost the upper hand and continued to struggle.
Damn, that's not a dead end.
Instead of doing this and retreating, he would have plenty of time in the future anyway, so he didn't believe that Su Qi'an could always be protected.
As long as there is a slack and a flaw is exposed, it will be his chance to take action.
After all, Su Qi'an was in the open and he was in the dark. If he wanted to kill him, there would be plenty of opportunities.
The Thousand-faced King glanced behind him, but Su Qi'an, who was not pursuing him, sneered in his heart. The so-called Dongshan Marquis was nothing more than that.
Just when the Thousand-Faced King was about to escape from this place and make plans for the future, suddenly, an extreme sense of crisis enveloped his whole body.
He didn't hesitate at all. He put a little more weight on his feet and retreated quickly. Although he reacted quickly, he was still a step too late.
Behind him, at some point, a figure appeared. Just by standing there, the aura exuded by that figure was enough to make the Thousand-Faced King feel frightened.
This is not important, except behind him and around him, there are several people appearing invariably.
His eyes swept over, and there were eight people. These eight people were like eight huge iron doors, blocking the Thousand-Faced King. No matter how hard the Thousand-Faced King struggled, he could not escape.
On Su Qi'an's side, the dozen assassins at the secret door were quite capable, but they saw their boss abandoning them and turning around to retreat.
His heart was already cold, and the tyrannical momentum he had just exploded was much weaker.
After paying a heavy price for seven or eight people, these ten killers were finally killed.
Not long after the killer died, Su Yong led his men non-stop to chase the fleeing Thousand-Faced King.
At this time, if we let such a dangerous person run away, we may not know how he will deal with it in the future.
Instead of doing this, it's better to attack quickly and maybe catch up.
But when Su Yong was about to take action, he was stopped by Su Qian.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
Su Qian looked forward and said softly, "Don't worry, this Thousand-Faced King can't escape. Someone will help us capture him."
Listening to Su Qi'an's inexplicable words, Su Yong was a little confused, but he still obeyed Su Qi'an's order.
Just as everyone started counting the wounded and the statisticians were taking a break, everyone suddenly looked tense.
Especially Su Yong, with a solemn expression and a long knife in his hand, stood in front of Su Qi'an.
He could feel a strong aura in the dense forest ahead.
And there are a lot of people, and the people who come here are definitely experts. Compared with the Thousand-Faced King, they are only higher but not lower.
Everyone quickly protected Su Qi'an, preparing for a new fierce battle that was about to break out.
But at this time, Su Qian came out and signaled everyone not to be nervous, saying to the figure in the dense forest ahead.
"After escorting us all the way for so long, it's time for you, Guard Lin, to show up. At least let me express my gratitude to you all."
Hearing what Su Qian said, everyone was stunned, and then, under their gaze, eight people quickly walked out of the dense forest.
The leader is none other than the Ninth Princess's personal bodyguard, Lin Huwei, and the other seven are one of the Eight Guards.
These eight guards are very strong. In a single fight, each one of them can equal or even surpass Tong Zhan.
They were the eight top people selected by Su Xuanyong from the Imperial City's Imperial Army to be responsible for the safety of the Ninth Princess.
Su Qi'an had learned about their strength when they were at the abandoned inn.
As eight people appeared, they were holding one person in their hands. Under the instructions of Lin Huwei, several people behind him threw the person out.
This man was the Thousand-Faced King who had just escaped and was very proud, but now his body was curled up, and it was obvious at a glance that all the bones in his body were broken.
His face was pale and he had passed out. It looked like he was breathing a sigh of relief.
How long has it been since then? The Thousand-Faced King, who was very proud and arrogant just now, has now become so miserable that he will be ranked second on the killer list today.
The leader, Guard Lin, bowed his hands respectfully to Su Qi'an and said, "Marquis Dongshan, our escort is just following orders, so you're welcome if you say thank you."
"Now that the Marquis of Dongshan is about to return to Xizhou, our mission has been completed and we can go back to deliver our work. As for the King of Thousand Faces, we will leave it to us."
Su Qian agreed to Lin Huwei's request without any hesitation.
It would be no exaggeration to say that the King of Thousand Faces was full of evildoers in Kyoto. Being able to bump into him and capture him while escorting him would be considered a matter of success in Kyoto. Su, of course, would not stop him.
Moreover, Su Qi'an was very grateful to Lin Huwei and the other eight people for their protection.
There were waves of interceptions along the way, and the eight guards Lin also put in a lot of effort. Without them, Su Qi'an might not have been able to return smoothly.
Secretly, they solved many masters for themselves.
He wanted to catch up with the eight people and catch up on old times, but after hearing what Lin Huwei said, Su Qi had no intention of forcing him to stay.
After exchanging a few words, they watched the eight people leave.
But before leaving, Guard Lin turned around and spoke to Su Qi'an seriously.
"Dongshan Hou, there is one thing I still want to tell you. I hope that if Dongshan Hou achieves anything in the future, he will not forget the kindness of the Ninth Princess. The royal family will not be unkind to Dongshan Hou."
Su Qi'an nodded heavily. How could Su Qi'an not know about the help that the Ninth Princess had given him? However, Su Qi'an could only keep these in mind.
On the day when he really succeeds and becomes famous in the future, Su Qi'an will definitely repay the kindness he showed to the Ninth Princess.
"Well, with the attitude of Marquis Dongshan, we are content. We look forward to the day when Marquis Dongshan returns to the capital. Take care, Marquis Dongshan."
After saying this, the eight Lin guards lifted the unconscious Thousand-faced King and then turned around and disappeared into the dense forest.
After watching everyone leave, Su Yong and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were not far from Lingbei County now, only forty or fifty miles away at most.
When the time came to return to the village, they could finally let go of all the hard work they had endured along the way.
Su Yong's tense face relaxed and he said to Su Qi'an behind him.
"Sir, let's set off quickly. It won't be long before we can go home. Let's go early to avoid a long night of dreams."
But there was no response from Su Qi'an behind him. At this time, Huang Wenyan's exclamation suddenly sounded.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Su Yong turned around, and Su Qian's face was pale at this time. He couldn't hold it back, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body was shaky.
