Just as Su Zhenyu roared, Lin Xiu, who was sitting beside him, moved his feet and blocked Su Zhenyu behind him.
Lin Xiu narrowed his eyes and pulled out the Qingyun Sword from his waist.
"Clang!"
The sword was unsheathed and blocked the sharp sword that was stabbing at him, letting out a series of sword cries.
The tip of the assassin's sword curved into an arc as it touched the body of the Greencloud Sword.
The assassin in black did not panic when his attack failed. He shook his wrist and directly stabbed at Lin Xiu's face. Once he got rid of this young man, it would be the death of Old Thief Su!
It was as though he could already see Lin Xiu's head exploding in the next second. The assassin in black smirked.
Lin Xiu did not retreat but advanced instead. He closed in on the assassin in black, then clenched his fist and punched at the assassin's ribs.
Caught off guard, the assassin in black took Lin Xiu's punch head-on and used the force of the punch to retreat.
Lin Xiu's eyes narrowed. He tapped his toes on the ground and rushed forward.
The provincial governor's residence was brightly lit at this moment. A large number of servants held lanterns and surrounded the banquet hall.
There were even some guards holding iron rods and staring at the assassin in black who had just appeared at the door.
The assassin in black was somewhat disdainful of this. In his opinion, these people were at most in the Renyuan Realm. No matter how many of them there were, if they couldn't even touch him, then they were just a few big fishes, not worth mentioning.
But the assassin in black did not notice that there was a burly man with a rough appearance standing at the back of the group of guards. At this moment, he carefully took out a hidden crossbow and took advantage of the gap between him and Lin Xiu to gently pull the trigger.
"Swish!"
There was a sudden sound of something breaking through the air. The assassin in black almost instinctively turned around, but the arrow still brushed past his chest and took away a piece of flesh.
Feeling the pain in his chest, the assassin in black's movements also unconsciously slowed down. If it was Lin Xiu who had just embarked on the path of cultivation, he might not be able to grasp this opportunity. But there were no ifs. Along the way, Lin Xiu had been instilled with the theory of taking advantage of the enemy's weakness. If he didn't make a move now, when would he?
Lin Xiu leaned forward and swung his sword gently with his right hand. The sword hilt struck the assassin in black.
With a soft bang, the assassin in black was pushed back by this huge force.
The black-clothed assassin did not have the time to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He understood that he had kicked an iron plate this time. As he retreated, he wanted to rush out of the Su Residence.
After casually throwing out a hidden weapon and knocking down a few burly guards in front of him, the black-clothed assassin's figure swiftly dashed out in a few flashes.
Although he was fast, could he be faster than Lin Xiu who had mastered the Plum Blossom Steps?
As soon as the assassin in black rushed out, Lin Xiu followed behind him like a shadow.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at a barren field outside the city.
It was already very late into the night, and even the stars in the sky were becoming sparse, making the atmosphere even more austere.
In the distance, there were a few crickets chirping as the two of them stood facing each other.
"I never thought that this old man, who has been a hero for a lifetime, would fall into the hands of a junior before I die." Out of Lin Xiu's expectations, the black-clothed assassin lifted his mask and revealed an old face.
"This junior, this old man admits that I am not your opponent. Can you allow this old man to say a few words before you make a move?" The old man looked at the green-clothed young man in front of him with a bitter smile.
On the path of martial arts, he had been diligent and diligent for decades. Coupled with his superior talent, he was lucky enough to step into the Sky Yuan Realm. But how old was this green-clothed young man? He had actually reached such a realm. What made the old man even more shocked was that Lin Xiu's elemental energy was obviously stronger than his. (Realms were generally judged by the level of elemental energy cultivation. Because Lin Xiu's elemental energy was too vigorous, he was mistaken as a Sky Yuan Realm.)
Seeing the old man's face, Lin Xiu could not bear to see him like this. He decided to first ask the old man what grievances he had with Su Zhenyun.
"Old mister, I don't know what grievances you have with the City Lord that you actually want to take the risk to assassinate him?" Lin Xiu kept his Qingyun Sword and seemed extremely confident as he asked directly.
"Pfft, who does Su Zhenyun think he is? If it wasn't for the young mistress's strong suggestion, how could he become the owner of Mu City with no martial arts cultivation at all? "The old man spat out a mouthful of phlegm and said with some hatred.
Lin Xiu was more and more confused about the old man's identity. From the old man's words, he could tell that the young mistress he was talking about should be his mother.
But wasn't his mother said to have a very close relationship with the City Lord's family? Why was it so unbearable from the old man's mouth?
"Old mister, tell me first." For safety reasons, Lin Xiu did not intend to reveal his identity and asked.
"I'll tell you the truth. I was originally a guard of the young mistress of the Mu family, but after the young mistress was captured and brought back to the family, she gave me freedom and wanted me to find the whereabouts of the young master. But all these years, some people in the Mu family have been keeping a close eye on me, so I have no way to go to the Gui Yuan Region. "The old man's face was full of regret and self-blame.
"Since my freedom was restricted by those people in the Mu family, I was thinking if I could do some activities in Mu City and rescue the young mistress as soon as possible. But when I found Su Zhenyu, he said that he could do nothing for me. How could I not hate him? If it wasn't for the young mistress, who does Su Zhenyu think he is?"
Lin Xiu listened to the old man's words quietly. He now understood that this old man should be one of his mother's subordinates back then. He did not expect that after 20 years, he was still so loyal.
"I'm from the Gui Yuan Region, I'm from Huai Ning City." Lin Xiu looked at the old man and suddenly said.
When the old man heard Lin Xiu's words, he was obviously in disbelief. He stared at Lin Xiu for a few seconds before he vaguely saw the shadow of his young mistress in the young man's eyes. He suddenly couldn't help but burst into tears.
The reason why he was so sure that Lin Xiu was the son of his young mistress was that even the people who were sent out did not know the real information about Lin Zhong.
Because he had always been by the young mistress's side, he knew some things about Lin Zhong and also knew the specific location of his son-in-law's hometown. So after hearing Lin Xiu's words, he was immediately convinced.
"The matter of rescuing my mother needs to be discussed at length. Since I'm in the Eastern Xuan Region, then the day of our family reunion will come soon." Lin Xiu narrowed his eyes and helped the old man up from the ground.
"You don't have to worry about the City Lord for the time being. It is said that my mother left some things with them. We will make plans after I get them." Lin Xiu's voice was calm.
"I will listen to Young Master." The old man said excitedly, then bowed respectfully to Lin Xiu. In his opinion, the son of his young mistress was his little master.
After fighting with Lin Xiu and learning that the young mistress's son was actually so powerful, the old man could not help but feel very gratified.
After chatting with the old man for a while and learning the old man's real name and address, Lin Xiu gestured for him to leave first. He had to return to the Mu family and see what Su Zhenyu's family was planning.
