A cold light suddenly came from the night sky behind Duan Tiande.
The long night is vast, like a fast falling meteor, and it is over in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, Duan Tiande's blood almost solidified. He touched the ground with one foot, jumped up, and quickly left the spot.
“Boom!”
The cold light fell on the roof, and suddenly an explosion sounded. The sky was filled with broken tiles and thick dust covered the surroundings.
Duan Tiande fled in a panic, his figure stopping on a roof not far away.
"who?"
Duan Tiande's face was solemn, and he turned his head to look forward with a gloomy look.
Are there any hidden masters?
Who is it?
Where is Yue Pingsheng?
At this moment, Duan Tiande realized something. How come Yue Pingsheng, who said he would join him in the fight, hadn't been seen for so long?
Where did he go?
At the same time, the pale-faced Zhiyuan slowly raised his head and looked towards the direction filled with smoke not far away, with a hint of understanding in his eyes.
The smoke slowly dissipated, and in the night sky, a figure in green slowly appeared in front of Duan Tiande.
His appearance made Duan Tiande frown suddenly.
"Where is Yue Pingsheng?"
He spoke in a low voice, his heart sinking slightly, and he had an uneasy premonition.
He couldn't figure out the true identity of the man in blue before him.
And the other person's appearance seems somewhat familiar?
"Dead."
A slightly relaxed voice came.
Duan Tiande suddenly turned his head and saw a young man climbing up the eaves on the other side.
The young man had a handsome appearance and an imposing manner, but he was in a disheveled state. His brocade clothes were stained with dust and there was a lot of blood on his body. His face was pale, but his expression was relaxed.
"Prince Lin?!"
Duan Tiande suddenly recognized Lin Jiangnian's identity, and his expression changed slightly the next second: "Is Yue Pingsheng dead?!"
He was somewhat incredulous. He knew very well Yue Pingsheng's strength. Although he was not as strong as him, he would never lose his life so easily.
Could it be...
Duan Tiande realized something and turned his head to stare at the man in green. A familiar feeling came to his heart. The next second, he looked at Lin Jiangnian, then at the man in green, as if he realized something.
“You, you are…”
"Zheng Zhiming?!"
Duan Tiande finally quickly recognized a figure in his mind, and his expression changed slightly.
The green-clothed man before him, with his expressionless face and icy aura, looked a lot like Zheng Zhiming, one of the four great masters beside King Lin Hengzhong?!
But, isn’t Zheng Zhiming...
Duan Tiande's eyes were uncertain as he stared at the man in green.
Zheng Zhiming remained expressionless: "Since you recognize me, why don't you run away?"
Duan Tiande's expression changed completely.
It’s indeed Zheng Zhiming!
At this moment, he looked stunned, realizing that there might be a big problem with the intelligence.
Prince Lin is actually protected by a master like Zheng Zhiming!
More importantly, Zheng Zhiming didn't...
With Zheng Zhiming in charge, he probably won't be able to kill Prince Lin today.
Thinking of this, Duan Tiande's eyes changed slightly. He took a few deep breaths and looked at the Prince of Lin who was not far away: "It seems that we still underestimated you."
After saying that, Duan Tiande sheathed his sword, gave Lin Jiangnian a final deep look, turned around and left, quickly disappearing into the night.
Zheng Zhiming stood still and didn't pursue, seemingly not intending to attack. He slowly raised his head and looked in another direction.
Lin Jiangnian sat on the roof. Only after Duan Tiande left did he relax. Soon he grimaced in pain, and the injury on his back made him gasp for air.
At the same time, the kite on the eaves not far away quickly landed and walked towards Lin Jiangnian.
When she noticed Lin Jiangnian's pale face, she realized something. She walked closer and saw the bleeding wound on Lin Jiangnian's back. Her expression immediately changed: "What's going on?!"
The voice was cold and contained a hint of chill.
"I was accidentally injured by Yue Pingsheng, it's nothing serious!"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head slightly and gave her an indifferent smile.
Zhi Yuan's face was pale and her breathing was unstable. It was obvious that she had been injured during the fight with Duan Tiande.
However, when she saw Lin Jiangnian's injuries, her eyes were like ice cubes on a cold winter night, so cold that it made people tremble.
"Where is he?"
She gripped the Qiu Shui Sword tightly in her hand, her eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent.
No concealment.
"take it easy!"
Lin Jiangnian grabbed her sword-holding hand, gently comforted her, and shook his head: "He's dead!"
Zhiyuan was startled, then saw a glint of pride in Lin Jiangnian's eyes, as if he was showing off: "This prince killed him!"
While Zhiyuan was stunned, Lin Jiangnian told Zhiyuan with a beaming expression about his heroic achievements just now, how he relied on his wisdom and extraordinary abilities to defeat the strong and kill Yue Pingsheng.
After hearing this, Zhiyuan remained silent.
Her expression remained unchanged, but as she stared at Lin Jiangnian, her expression became slightly complicated. She seemed to be about to speak, but hesitated. Finally, she took a deep breath.
The tone was still cold.
"Don't do that next time."
He spoke in a cold tone, in silence.
He lowered his eyes, barely noticing the slight tremor in his voice.
Like a huge weight of relief.
Then, she seemed to suddenly realize something and suddenly looked up at Zheng Zhiming not far away.
In an instant, his eyes, which had just calmed down, became cold again, filled with fierce murderous intent.
“Why don’t you take action?!”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just encountered such danger and almost lost his life. Why is Zheng Zhiming reluctant to take action?
What is he waiting for? !
Not far away, Zheng Zhiming looked at her quietly, then looked at Lin Jiangnian, his eyes moving between the two of them.
In the end, nothing was said.
"Kite, forget it."
Lin Jiangnian tugged at the kite, glanced at Zheng Zhiming, and chuckled self-deprecatingly: "General Zheng is not my retainer, so I have no right to command him."
Zhiyuan's eyes were icy, and the murderous aura lingering around her never dissipated. She stared at Zheng Zhiming and said coldly, "I will explain this matter to the prince!"
Zheng Zhiming's expression changed slightly, but he eventually regained his composure and said calmly, "I have a clear conscience."
What a clear conscience!
Lin Jiangnian gave him a last, deep look and tugged at Zhiyuan again: "Help me up."
Zhiyuan then withdrew his gaze, walked over to Lin Jiangnian and helped him stand up slowly.
"Let's go, it's almost time to wrap up!"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at the night sky. Tonight's massive assassination was coming to an end.
It must be said that quite a few experts had arrived tonight. Both Duan Tiande and Yue Pingsheng were renowned masters in the martial arts world, possessing profound martial arts skills and immense internal energy. If Zheng Zhiming hadn't appeared at the last moment, the outcome would have been far from certain.
At the moment, Yue Ping's life and death depends on Lin Jiangnian. Duan Tiande and the skinny monkey have escaped, and the assassin who poses the greatest threat to Lin Jiangnian has left. The only thing left is the attack in the inn, which can no longer cause much trouble.
…
Inside the inn.
The chaotic third-floor corridor.
"Die."
Shen Lingjun, wearing a long cloud-fall dress and holding a sharp sword, quickly took care of the two assassins in front of her.
As the two assassins fell to the ground, Shen Lingjun became breathless and his face turned pale.
There were already quite a few corpses lying on the ground in front of the assassin, which made Shen Lingjun feel like vomiting.
"Sister Shen?"
Behind her, Xiao Zhu's face was pale. He stepped forward in a panic and supported her: "You, are you okay?"
"fine!"
Shen Lingjun waved her hands and took a deep breath, but the air was filled with the smell of blood, which made her feel more like vomiting.
She covered her breath and said, "These people can't hurt me!"
The assassins outside had already broken into the inn and were killing everyone inside. Fortunately, Shen Lingjun's martial arts skills were not weak, so she could easily deal with these ordinary assassins. She protected Xiaozhu while dealing with the assassins. With the help of the guards of Prince Lin, the situation was not serious.
But the scene before her made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"How many people has this son of a bitch offended?"
Shen Lingjun gritted her teeth.
She knew that someone would assassinate Lin Jiangnian, but she didn't expect so many people to come and carry out such a desperate assassination!
It was so shocking that it frightened her.
How big a grudge is this?
Who did that dog prince offend?
Also, these assassins have been here for so long, where is that dog prince hiding?
Just as Shen Lingjun was in doubt, Xiao Zhu's surprised voice came from the side: "Your Highness?!"
The dog prince finally came out?
Shen Lingjun turned around and was about to make some sarcastic remarks, but when she saw Lin Jiangnian's disheveled figure and pale face, she was slightly stunned.
A little unexpected!
"You, this is..."
Are you hurt?
Shen Lingjun spoke unexpectedly.
Only then did he realize something. This damn prince had been assassinated?
Xiao Zhu's eyes widened in shock, and he said anxiously, "Your Highness, what are you doing..."
"I'm fine!"
Lin Jiangnian and Zhiyuan appeared in the corridor on the third floor. They shook their heads gently, telling Xiaozhu not to worry, and then asked about the situation in the inn.
"It's not good, the situation is terrible!"
Shen Lingjun seemed to remember something and looked a little worried.
The two men named Sikong Li and Gu Chaosheng in the inn were both good at martial arts, which led to heavy casualties on their side. The situation was not good.
Although Lin Qingqing and Lin Kong tried their best to resist, they could only barely block it. As a result, the situation was very passive.
"Let's go and take a look."
Lin Jiangnian immediately walked downstairs.
…
Inn, in the lobby.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the lobby was extremely tense.
Strong smell of blood.
The lobby was already in ruins and in disarray.
There were countless corpses on the ground.
Gu Chaosheng, dressed in a fiery red robe, stood in the middle of the inn, with the big knife in his hand falling to the ground, which had a huge visual impact!
His hair was messy and his body was stained with too much blood, which made him look even more fierce.
He was like a bloodthirsty monster, so terrifying that people didn't even dare to look him in the eye.
He grinned, his eyes cold and somewhat complacent as he looked forward.
In front of him, countless black-armored guards lay on the ground. These elite black-armored guards, trained for over a decade, had suffered heavy losses tonight. Even their once-indestructible armor was now tattered.
In front of the crowd, Lin Qingqing knelt on one knee on the ground, her face pale and her body covered in blood. She gritted her teeth and stared straight ahead.
She was seriously injured at this moment, but she still did not fall down!
She can't fall!
If you want to harm the prince, you must first step over her dead body.
"Do you really think you can stop me?"
Gu Chaosheng stared at Lin Qingqing and spoke with a sinister grin.
Lin Qingqing didn't say anything, but struggled to stand up again, still staring at him with a firm look in her eyes.
For some reason, Gu Chaosheng felt a little uneasy when he saw the look in this woman's eyes.
"Well, it's time to send you on your way!"
Gu Chaosheng smirked. The maid before him was already at the end of her strength, and the black-armored warriors around her had also lost their fighting power. Although he was also injured, no one could stop him at this moment.
What's more, his purpose tonight was not to kill Prince Lin!
Having said that, Gu Chaosheng turned his head and glanced at the night. Calculating the time, they should have succeeded, right?
Thinking of this, Gu Chaosheng slowly raised the long sword in his hand again. The long sword, which was stained with too much blood, was almost stained red at this moment. It looked like a raging fire, with flickering flames. Gu Chaosheng raised the sword and suddenly dropped it. The long sword was sharp, and it fell towards Lin Qingqing's head with the momentum of splitting mountains and overturning seas.
The strong aura locked Lin Qingqing in place.
Lin Qingqing wanted to resist, but she didn't even have the strength to lift her sword. Standing was already difficult. Facing the murderous blade flash that came at her again, she no longer had any power to resist.
She slowly closed her eyes and calmly waited for death to come!
But death never came!
"bite!"
A crisp collision sound was heard, and a majestic aura seemed to pass through Lin Qingqing.
The next second, a sharp scream was heard.
Lin Qingqing suddenly opened her eyes, and the next second, she was stunned!
Then came ecstasy.
"Sister Kite?!"
In her sight, Zhiyuan's cold figure stood in front of her, with an expressionless face.
Not far away, Gu Chaosheng, who had just been full of vigor and vitality, was lying on the ground, spitting blood, his face pale, staring in disbelief at the beautiful woman who suddenly appeared in front of him.
“You, who are you?!”
What answered him was the sharp green light in Zhiyuan's hand.
Gu Chaosheng was horrified. He ignored the severe pain in his chest, turned over and got up from the ground, holding the long sword tightly in his hand to resist.
"bite!"
There was another crisp collision of swords, accompanied by a crackling sound.
Gu Chaosheng's pupils shrank, and he looked in disbelief at the long sword that had been in his hand for many years, which broke.
The next second, the sharp green light came.
"puff!"
Gu Chaosheng flew backwards, fell heavily to the ground, and vomited blood.
His eyes were filled with fear as he stared at the beautiful woman in front of him, whose martial arts skills were unfathomable. He seemed to realize something: "You, you are the personal maid of Prince Lin?!"
He finally realized how could Prince Lin's personal maid be so weak?
So, so...
But after discovering this, Gu Chaosheng could no longer be happy.
Because he saw a pair of bright eyes.
He was a young man. Although he looked disheveled and pale, he still couldn't hide his innate temperament.
The young man was squatting beside him, looking at him with interest and deep eyes.
"Are you Gu Chaosheng?" The young man stared at him with interest.
Gu Chaosheng coughed violently, a fishy-sweet taste in his mouth: "You, who are you?"
"who I am?"
Lin Jiangnian sneered: "You people, you want to assassinate this prince, but you don't even know what he looks like?"
Gu Chaosheng's pupils dilated: "You, you are the Prince of Lin?!"
"You, you're not dead yet?!"
Lin Jiangnian looked at him with a smile: "Surprised?"
"Then, then..."
Gu Chaosheng looked as if he had seen a ghost. Prince Lin was not dead yet?
What about Duan Tiande?
Where is Yue Pingsheng?
"Do you want to ask about Duan Tiande and Yue Pingsheng? And that guy with the pointed chin and monkey cheeks?"
As if he saw the astonishment in Gu Chaosheng's eyes, Lin Jiangnian spoke slowly, and then, in the look of horror in Gu Chaosheng's eyes, he said with a smile.
"They are all dead!"
Gu Chaosheng's face was pale, completely devoid of any blood.
Terrified!
