Chapter 70: The Assassin Takes Action
Wuchen Courtyard, in the courtyard.
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the courtyard, leaving ripples.
Ling Chen and Ling Yin were both present.
"It seems that your recent practice has been very effective. In less than a month, you have already practiced the Taiyin Sutra to the third level."
Ling Chen looked at Ling Yin who was mobilizing her inner energy in front of him, his eyes lit up slightly, and said.
In a month, Ling Yin dispersed all the true Qi he had cultivated from the Tide Sutra and started practicing the Taiyin Sutra again. Just like that, in less than a month, Ling Yin's Taiyin Sutra had been cultivated to the third level.
Ling Chen has been practicing for such a long time, but he has only practiced the Lingtian Sword Scripture to the second level.
Of course, "Lingtian Sword Scripture" is a saint-level technique, and "Taiyin Sutra" is only a heaven-level technique, so the two cannot be compared together.
"How many moves have you reached in practicing the Feiying Sword Technique?"
Ling Chen pondered for a moment, then asked again.
Feiying Sword Technique is an earth-level sword technique that Ling Chen passed on to Ling Yin. It is suitable for women to practice and is not very difficult. If it were a heaven-level sword technique, the leap would be too big. After all, heaven-level sword techniques are generally difficult to learn without a strong understanding of sword techniques.
Like Song Hailan, although he learned the Qingfeng Sword Technique, in fact, the power of the Qingfeng Sword Technique he displayed was not as strong as a top-grade earth-level sword technique.
"The fifth move."
Ling Yin said softly.
Hearing this, Ling Chen frowned, "The Feiying Sword Technique is not difficult to learn. I have only learned the fifth move now, which is a bit slow."
If other people were present when Ling Chen said this, they would definitely sneer at him. It's too slow to practice the fifth move in a month? Then those of them who spent a year or so to learn one or two moves, can they all commit suicide?
However, considering Ling Chen's requirements for Ling Yin, this progress did not satisfy him.
"Well, I will try harder."
Ling Yin nodded. She didn't know what was considered fast, but since Ling Chen said it was slow, then it was slow.
"Ling Chen, I didn't expect you to care about your child bride so much."
Just when Ling Chen was about to go back to the house, a figure walked in from outside. It was Xu Ruoyan.
There was obviously a hint of sourness in the tone.
"What child bride? She is my sister. Don't talk nonsense."
Ling Chen frowned. No one would be happy to hear such words.
"Okay, not a child bride."
Xu Ruoyan didn't believe that Ling Chen was such a dirty person, but she was still very upset by his evasive attitude. She just glanced at Ling Yin and continued, "Ling Chen, tomorrow is the last day of our three-month agreement."
After she said this, her eyes became serious. She wanted to see what Ling Chen's attitude was.
"Is it time?"
Ling Chen showed a thoughtful look, then nodded, "Then I will go to Tianxu Palace with you tomorrow. I must do what I promised you."
"What if I say I regret it?"
Xu Ruoyan looked directly at Ling Chen with her beautiful eyes, "I don't want to cancel the engagement now."
Hearing this, Ling Chen's expression changed slightly, and then he shook his head, "Marriage is a big deal, how can you regret it just like that?"
"It's better for us to end our relationship as soon as possible, Xu Ruoyan. With your status, there are countless young talents who want to pursue you. There are many who are worthy of your noble status. I am just a small person. If we force ourselves to get entangled, it will only hurt both of us."
Ling Chen said in a deep voice.
sonorous!
Xu Ruoyan drew out her sword and pointed the tip of the sword at Ling Chen's neck, saying, "Ling Chen! You are such a heartless and heartless bastard!"
She originally thought that after three months of getting along, Ling Chen would have some attachment to her, but she didn't expect that Ling Chen would still be so decisive in breaking off the engagement. If he were an ordinary man, he would probably try his best to keep her.
After taking a deep breath, Xu Ruoyan did not stab with the sword. She retracted the sword and turned away. "I will wait for you at the mountain gate tomorrow morning."
After saying that, she also walked out of the courtyard gate.
Seeing Xu Ruoyan's resolute back, Ling Chen sighed. His calm state of mind actually became a little messy at this moment.
"Brother Lingchen, be careful!"
At this moment, Ling Yin's exclamation suddenly rang in my ears.
Instantly, Ling Chen felt a strong murderous aura, and all the hairs on his body stood up in an instant.
Almost instinctively, Ling Chen suddenly lunged forward and rolled on the ground.
“Swish!”
A green poisoned arrow pierced through the wall and flew dangerously past Ling Chen's face, scratching his skin and leaving a bloody mark.
A moment later, the skin centered on the bloodstain immediately turned purple-black.
"poisonous!"
Ling Chen immediately took out a detoxification pill from his Tianfu Ring and swallowed it.
"Get down!"
Ling Chen quickly stepped forward, grabbed Xu Ruoyan, who was still a little unresponsive, and laid on the ground.
"Who is it? How dare you take action inside the Divine Will Gate?"
Ling Chen was secretly shocked. He had thought that Shenyi Gate should be an absolutely safe place, but he didn't expect that even here, it was not safe.
"Why do you care about me? If I were killed by an assassin, wouldn't that be exactly what you wished for?" Xu Ruoyan gritted her teeth and said coldly.
"Now is not the time to be angry."
Ling Chen's eyes were as sharp as torches. He could feel that the murderous aura had not disappeared yet, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, ready to shoot a hidden weapon at any time.
The Ling Tian Qi that Ling Chen cultivated was extremely powerful, and had a strong resistance to poison. However, the poison that had just been stained on the arrow was extremely strong. Even if he took the antidote and circulated the Ling Tian Qi, he could only temporarily suppress the spread of the poison.
"Brother Lingchen, the assassin's location is on the rooftop about fifty meters to your right."
At this time, Ling Chen's voice came again.
"Fifty meters away? How did you know?"
Xu Ruoyan looked at Ling Yin in disbelief. It was already very dark, and how could she see where the assassin was hiding from a distance of fifty meters?
Impossible, no one can do this.
"This is Ling Yin's special ability."
At this juncture, Ling Chen was too lazy to explain further. His eyes looked towards the rooftop fifty meters away. Was the assassin there?
"He's going to shoot an arrow!"
Ling Yin's voice was a little hurried.
"Hide!"
Ling Chen pushed Xu Ruoyan away, and both of them rolled on the ground.
call out!
Almost at the next moment, a poisonous arrow shot down from the sky again, landing on the original position of Ling Chen and Xu Ruoyan, and nailing them to the ground.
This time, Xu Ruoyan was completely shocked. She looked at Ling Yin with some horror. This little girl, is she not a normal person?
