The second string was snapped by a finger. The taut string jumped up and slid out a fine blood groove on her white palm, dripping onto the Scorched Tail Guqin. As the blood dripped down, the sudden stop of heavy rain also came crashing down.
Hsu Fengnian, who was less than ten steps away from her, stretched out his arm. The Trembling Spring Thunder inserted into the wall was about to leave its scabbard. However, the Spring Thunder had only left its scabbard for an inch when Hsu Fengnian lost control of the short knife. Instead, the blind guqin master bent her middle finger slightly, and the Spring Thunder bounced back into the scabbard, completely penetrating the wall. Hsu Fengnian, whose Sea of Qi had exploded, was shrouded in a scarlet mist. After landing, he stuffed the Two Dhyana Jindan given to him by the Dragon Tree monk into his mouth. With a tap of his toes, he staggered forward. With a wave of his sleeves, nine flying swords rushed out together. The female guqin master snorted coldly. Her left thumb and index finger hooked onto a string of the guqin and pulled it up. In a flash, the nine flying swords were each twisted by a dozen silver threads. In a flash, sparks flew, crackling. Her right hand moved in an abnormal manner with her left hand. Hsu Fengnian's abdomen seemed to have been hit by a heavy object. Like a tree stump smashing into a door, his entire body flew backwards and fell onto the limestone floor.
At this critical juncture, a black-clothed man jumped over the wall like a leopard cat looking for food under the curtain of night. With a podao in his hand, he arrived at Hsu Fengnian's side in the blink of an eye and swiftly chopped down on his head.
This chop was very soft. Of course, it was not able to cut off Hsu Fengnian's head. This was because Hsu Fengnian's hands were on the ground, his body was bent, and he spun in a big circle against the ice-cold stone floor. The golden thread that was originally used to deal with the Xuan guqin master shot out from his sleeve and pierced his head through his eye sockets. The assassin who had appeared not long ago died on the spot.
Killing and being killed had always been done in the blink of an eye.
Before Hsu Fengnian's body landed on the ground, the wall of the alley suddenly split open. The second robust black-clothed man was even more convenient. He directly broke through the wall and chopped at the waist with an axe!
Hsu Fengnian did not need his hands and feet to touch the ground. His body spun to the side, and the axe was full of energy. After missing, it split open an entire stone floor. After Hsu Fengnian stood up, he leaned his shoulder against the black-clothed assassin. He stuck more than he hit, but he did not want to let this astonishingly strong man gather his energy. Hsu Fengnian then extended a palm and pressed it against the assassin's temple. He took small steps forward, and in this process, he took advantage of the opportunity to quickly accumulate the chaotic surging of the Great Yellow Courtyard. He pushed out in one breath. His and the assassin's momentum decreased, and the other increased. He pushed the axe-wielding man against the wall, his head smashing into the mud and creating a large crater. How could Hsu Fengnian give him room to fight back? His left hand punched the assassin's waist, and his right hand pressed against the head. He swiped it across the wall, forcibly wiping out a shocking pool of blood. After releasing his hand, the assassin's entire face was badly mutilated and seeped into the yellow mud. He was already a dead man.
Hsu Fengnian had killed two people in a row. It had only taken six or seven breaths of time.
This time, he was truly exhausted. The blind female zither player's fingers hooked onto a string. If she broke another string, Hsu Fengnian would undoubtedly die.
Her fingertips had just touched the strings when her expression changed slightly. She changed the broken string into a plucked string. The Scorched Tail Zither left her knees and flew backwards.
"Bang!"
The zither cracked in the air.
Hsu Fengnian sighed and supported himself against the wall. He felt somewhat regretful that such a good opportunity would not come again.
Before the rain.
At that time, Hsu Fengnian stood up and left the fortune-telling stall under the old willow tree. He saw a fifteen or sixteen year old robust youth blocking the middle of the street. His clothes were ragged, and he held a broken porcelain bowl. He looked like a shameless beggar who had made up his mind to pester him for copper coins. The youth grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. He softly said two words in Beiliang language, "Xu, Wu."
Hsu Fengnian continued forward. His eyes were exceptionally clear as he said softly, "My master is Xu of the 12 Earthly Branches. He has always been in charge of secretly monitoring Su, Zhao, and Qi. I'm an orphan born and raised here. I was taken in as a disciple by my master when I was young. Three years ago, my master died of old age. I went to Northern Liang in accordance with my master's wishes. I wanted to inherit his legacy and become Xu, but the General did not agree. Instead, he made me Wu of the Ten Heavenly Stems. Some time ago, I received news from another Earthly Branches death warrior that Your Highness the Crown Prince might be coming.
Hsu Fengnian pretended to take out a piece of broken silver. He was not in a hurry to throw it into the bowl. In the eyes of others, there were scattered copper coins. He was somewhat distressed about the money.
The youth quickly said, "There are two groups of assassins in the city. One group consists of three people who are not very skilled. The other is a female devil with a zither called Xue Songguan. She is ranked fifth in Beimang's Ten Devils. She is ranked second on the Assassin Ranking. She is very difficult to deal with. I am good at the six-stone bow. I can hurt a King Kong Physique within three hundred steps. Your Highness, do you want to kill her or avoid her? I will listen to you. "
Hsu Fengnian threw the broken silver into the bowl and said without hesitation, "Kill her."
The youth pretended to be greedy for money. He smiled brightly and asked, "But Your Highness, she is a Xuan Kun expert. She is not easy to kill."
Hsu Fengnian said as he walked. He had an impatient expression as if he was chasing away flies. He said in a flat tone, "I will attract her attention. If nothing unexpected happens, the group of three will take advantage of me fighting with Xue Songguan to hit me when I am down. If I am unable to kill her, I will definitely save my strength to kill them. When the time comes, you only need to shoot an arrow from three hundred steps away."
The sloppy youth laughed without being serious and said, "His Royal Highness, does he need to gamble so much? If you die, I won't be able to live either. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "When gambling, you can't always think of using small to win big. This kind of stingy gambler will lose nine out of ten times."
The youth's eyes lit up. He seemed to agree with this point of view.
Hsu Fengnian smiled. Like an eccentric and capricious playboy, he kicked the youth away and took back the broken silver from the bowl.
The youth was stunned as he looked at the handsome back. He swallowed and spat out two words, "Stingy!"
At this time, in the rain.
