Chapter 29: An Untraceable Assassination
Xiang Ye wanted to step forward to help, but he had no weapons in his hands, so he could only hide aside and scratch his head anxiously.
Although Li Feng was half a step ahead of his opponent in swordsmanship, he was still unable to survive alone after fighting with five people. He gradually showed signs of defeat. He narrowly avoided five people stabbing him several times.
dagger.
Seeing that Li Feng was in danger everywhere, Xiang Ye couldn't help but feel anxious. It was a pity that he didn't have a sword in his hand. In fact, even if he had a sword, he would only chop randomly like a warrior fighting on the battlefield, which is no different from a real swordsman master.
So he died.
Just when he was extremely anxious, he suddenly discovered that there were many large pieces of rubbish on the roadside. He quickly squatted down, picked up a piece of rubbish, and threw it towards a man who was fighting with Li Feng.
The man was concentrating on besieging Li Feng with his companions. Suddenly he felt a foreign object flying towards him. He quickly raised his sword to block it. Unexpectedly, the dagger blocked the flying foreign object, but it stirred up a burst of smoke and dust, which immediately blinded him.
Lost.
After the swordsman was stunned, his movements suddenly slowed down. He feinted with his sword and quickly stepped back a few steps. He stood aside and rubbed his eyes with both hands.
After his eyes felt a little better, the swordsman glared fiercely at Xiang Ye who was hiding aside, screamed strangely, and rushed towards Xiang Ye with his sword.
Xiang Ye had no weapon in his hand and quickly ran back. Although he was somewhat accomplished in fighting, he was not so arrogant as to dare to snatch the weapon from a professional swordsman with his bare hands.
The swordsman chased Xiang Ye, and saw that he was getting farther and farther away from Li Feng and the others. His footsteps were quite fast, but he could not get rid of him as he ran with his head high, his waist slightly hunched, and his legs spinning rapidly like windmills.
The footsteps of the swordsman galloping behind him.
"Boy, stop!" The swordsman chasing Xiang Ye shouted to Xiang Ye while running: "If you want to live, stop!"
Xiang Ye ran forward without looking back, thinking to himself: "Stop? Do you think I'm stupid? If you run, you might be able to save your life, but if you stand, you will really get into trouble! I'm afraid that time will come.
This life will be left in your hands!"
Seeing that the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, and hearing the rapid footsteps, Xiang Ye turned around and took a look. The figures of Li Feng and the four swordsmen fighting with him had already turned into a few black spots.
He couldn't help but feel a little desperate. It's not that he hadn't learned how to seize a sword with bare hands, but in the past, both sides used bare hands in the ring, and he had never had the opportunity to experience seizing a knife from his opponent. In this era, he had participated in two battles, but the battle
At that time, he had weapons in his hands, and he would not be as embarrassed as he is now.
"Ah!" Xiang Ye was running desperately when a scream suddenly came from behind him. He subconsciously turned around and glanced, only to see the swordsman following him lying on his back on the ground. The swordsman's neck was still covered with sweat.
There was blood, and someone had cut his throat at some point.
He stopped and looked left and right. The grass and trees on both sides of the road made a rustling sound under the breeze. The swordsman who was still chasing him had turned into a corpse. The surrounding environment was quiet.
It was terrifying. Xiang Ye couldn't help but feel a cold air coming from the back of his spine. This cold air shot upwards in a "whooshing" direction, constantly impacting his cerebellar cortex.
Everyone will feel fear, especially after something strange happens in front of them. Fear is like spring buds after the rain, growing at an unstoppable speed. Xiang Ye's heart is beating rapidly, and he can clearly hear his own heartbeat.
The rapid "puff" sound it makes when beating.
"Who? Which expert saved me?" He turned around in a circle, but the surroundings were still silent, with no trace of anyone's presence.
He carefully approached the corpse of the swordsman lying on the ground, and vigilantly stretched out a foot to violently kick aside the dagger in the swordsman's hand.
After kicking the dagger away, Xiang Ye jumped up to the sword, bent down and picked it up, then turned back and glanced at the swordsman's body.
After feeling that the swordsman was dead and would not pose a threat to him, he wanted to turn around and leave, but after taking a few steps he turned back.
The death of the swordsman was so strange that he felt a little uneasy after all. After turning back, he held the dagger in his backhand and stabbed the corpse fiercely.
After a few blows, the corpse's chest was a mess of blood and flesh. Xiang Ye felt relieved, let out a long sigh, stood up straight and ran towards the place where Li Feng and the four swordsmen were fighting.
When Xiang Ye arrived at the place, what he saw was not a scene of fierce fighting. What he saw was Li Feng standing in the middle of the road with a sword in his hand and a blank look on his face. Four corpses were lying in four directions around Li Feng. What a coincidence.
What's strange is that these four corpses all had their heads outside and their feet inside, and they fell straight on the road. The four pairs of feet were facing Li Feng, who was standing in the middle, and their heads were pointing in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.
"What's going on?" Xiang Ye ran to Li Feng, looked at the corpses around him and said with some confusion: "I was being chased just now. I heard a scream from behind, and when I turned around I looked back and chased me.
people died, what is going on here? Could it be that you killed all four of them by yourself?"
Li Feng frowned and shook his head and said, "No, I don't know what happened. Just when I was feeling overwhelmed, a figure suddenly flashed past, and then these four people fell down silently.
"
Xiang Ye looked at the corpses on the ground with some doubts, and saw that all four corpses had been stabbed in the throat. It didn't look like someone had attacked them from behind.
He raised his head and glanced suspiciously at Li Feng, who was holding a dagger with a confused face. He didn't believe that someone could have such a fast speed and be able to kill four swordsmen in an instant without Li Feng even seeing them clearly.
A brilliant swordsman. If such a person really existed in the world, there would be no need to fight another war. As long as one party hires a person with such superb swordsmanship and body skills to assassinate the other party's general, there will probably be no force that can stop him.
The ending where the resident is about to die.
After being dazed for a while, Li Feng blinked and said to Xiang Ye: "I'm afraid there is an expert secretly helping me to succeed this time. Since he doesn't want to meet us, I'm afraid he has unspeakable reasons. Don't do it again."
If this matter bothers you, let’s go back!”
On the way back, neither Li Feng nor Xiang Ye spoke anymore. Li Feng lowered his head and was thinking about something, but Xiang Ye's mind kept replaying simulated scenes of swordsman duels.
Simulating this scene in my mind, the more doubtful I became. Attacking from behind, slitting the throats of four swordsmen almost at the same time, it was impossible to do it even with the fastest movement skills.
The two of them walked forward, and when they were about to reach the city gate, Li Feng suddenly stopped and shouted in a low voice: "No! It almost ruined something big!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the path again. Xiang Ye was startled by Li Feng's shout and quickly followed him and ran towards the path.
Running back to the place where they were fighting, something strange happened again in front of the two of them. They saw that the road was empty, not to mention corpses. Even the ground soaked in blood had a layer of skin cut off, and there was nothing left to see.
A fierce fight just happened here!
Li Feng squatted on the ground, picked up a handful of dirt from the ground that had obviously been scraped with a sharp weapon, put it to his nose, sniffed and said: "It's really strange, who can dispose of the body in such a short time?"
So clean? And it scraped the ground without leaving any smell of blood."
After that, he turned to Xiang Ye who was bending down and looking at the ground behind him and said, "Brother, let's go to the place where the person who was chasing you just died. Maybe we can find some clues."
Xiang Ye responded, and the two of them quickly ran forward.
When Li Feng was running, his posture was exactly the same as that of the swordsman chasing Xiang Ye earlier. Xiang Ye leaned up and took long strides, swinging his arms rapidly, but he still couldn't keep up with Li Feng, who was swinging his small steps. After a while, the two of them
They came to the place where the swordsman who had just been chasing Xiang Ye was killed.
The road was empty, and there was no shadow of the corpse anywhere. Just like the previous road, where the corpse had been lying, a piece of new soil that had obviously been cut with a sharp tool appeared in front of the two of them.
At first, Xiang Ye had some doubts that the person who rescued him was Li Feng, but after he hurried back to the path and didn't see the body, his previous guess was overturned. Li Feng was always by his side, and there was no way he would have time.
Come back and dispose of the corpses. This way, it is very likely that someone else killed these swordsmen just now.
Not seeing the body, the two looked at each other in shock, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts. Although the people who secretly helped them kill the swordsman and dispose of the body were probably companions rather than enemies, the hidden style of those people made them
I feel a little confused.
Since we are companions, why don't we show up to meet each other?
On the way back to the city, Li Feng and Xiang Ye still looked very close, as if the fight just now had never happened at all, but the white clothes Li Feng wore had several cuts cut by swords, which showed that they
I just went through a fight.
When the First Emperor Zhao Zheng was in power, private fighting among the people was strictly prohibited. However, since the death of the First Emperor and the Second Emperor's accession to the throne, many heroes in the world have emerged. The originally orderly system was suddenly broken, and private fighting has flourished again. Many people have competed in private competitions.
Casualties caused by fighting occasionally occurred in local areas, and local officials often turned a blind eye.
No one in Xingyang City knew that Li Feng was a celebrity around Li You. Although few people knew what specific missions Li You arranged for him to do, many people had seen that wherever Li You went, a swordsman in white would follow him.
, that swordsman is Li Feng.
Li Feng had a special status, so naturally no one dared to take care of him after he had a private fight with someone, at least in the territory of Sanchuan County.
