Chapter 71 Crisis
"So this is the real reason why you bought her!"
Xu Ruoyan finally understood why Ling Chen suddenly made a move to bid for a beautiful girl. Since it was not due to gender considerations, then it must be due to other considerations.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Xu Ruoyan glared at Ling Chen.
"I would like to, but do I have a chance? Come on, now is not the time to dwell on such trivial matters!"
Ling Chen couldn't understand what this woman was thinking. At this critical moment of life and death, she actually had the leisure to think about these meaningless things.
“This is no small matter!”
At this moment, the gloom on Xu Ruoyan's face disappeared, and she drew the sword at her waist, "Since we all know the assassin's location, what are we waiting for! We should attack directly, otherwise we will only become more passive!"
After saying that, she didn't even wait for Ling Chen to say anything more before she flew up from where she was and quickly flew towards the rooftop where she was aiming.
"This reckless woman!"
Ling Chen's face changed. In this situation where it was unclear who was the enemy and who was not, they didn't even know the opponent's strength. The best way now was to wait until the opponent revealed a flaw first. If they rushed forward rashly, all the advantages they had would be gone.
Moreover, it is difficult to say whether this assassin is a single person.
"Brother Lingchen, that woman is in danger. Another assassin has appeared 40 meters to your left."
Ling Yin suddenly looked in the direction of the other side, where there was a pavilion. On the pavilion, a figure could be vaguely seen drawing a bow and arrow, aiming at the target.
The other party was not aiming at him, but at the back of Xu Ruoyan.
“Damn it!”
Ling Chen quickly stomped his feet and flew up, and at almost the same moment, a poisonous arrow shot from that direction.
clang!
Blocking the poisonous arrow with a sword, Ling Chen landed behind Xu Ruoyan.
"You came just in time. Two assassins, one for each of us."
Xu Ruoyan also sensed the danger behind her. Seeing Ling Chen coming, she once again flew over the roof using her Qinggong skills.
"Hello!"
Ling Chen had no time to stop Xu Ruoyan, who had already rushed out. He could only quickly rush in the opposite direction. At this point, he had no choice but to fight head-on.
"They found my location."
The black-clothed man on the pavilion had a look of surprise in his eyes. He took out a few poison darts from his sleeve, then locked his eyes on the fast-moving Ling Chen, and threw the poison darts in his hand out one after another.
Having been on guard against this direction for a long time, Ling Chen dodged continuously, dodged the darts, and then suddenly jumped onto the pavilion.
"Since you've offered yourself up to me, don't blame me for being rude."
Looking at Ling Chen flying over, the man in black drew a sharp sword from his waist, stomped the tiles under his feet, and attacked him fiercely.
clang!
The two swords collided with each other, and bright sparks flew in all directions.
"White dragon passing through!"
Ling Chen did not dare to be negligent. This time, the assassin dared to take action in the Shenyi Gate. He must be determined to kill him. His strength must be extraordinary.
So the first move he made was the second move of the Dragon-Seeking Sword Technique, and he swung the sword with full strength.
laugh!
The sword light was like a bolt of lightning, passing through the air and striking the black-clad assassin.
However, this sword was blocked again, which made Ling Chen's face darken. The black-clothed man's reaction and strength far exceeded Ling Chen's. Even though he was caught off guard, he was unable to gain any advantage.
The black-clothed man's reaction speed was astonishing. The moment he broke Ling Chen's sword move, he suddenly drew his sword and counterattacked, and the sharp sword tip slashed towards Ling Chen's head.
clang!
There was another crisp sound of metal collision, and Ling Chen's body flew backwards , fell off the pavilion, and landed in a pile of grass.
"die!"
A hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed in the eyes of the black-clad assassin. He rushed out in a straight line and slashed his sword straight at the haystack where Ling Chen was.
boom!
A figure jumped high up from the haystack, and the next moment, the haystack was completely blown up by the sword energy of the black-clothed swordsman.
Ling Chen's expression was extremely solemn. The black-clad assassin in front of him had a cultivation base of at least a fourth-level martial artist, and might even be a fifth-level martial artist.
In fact, although Ling Chen's guess was a little off, it was almost right. The black-clothed assassin was a martial artist at the peak of the fourth level, and was very good at night raids and assassinations.
In order to get rid of Ling Chen this time and ensure that there is no risk of error, two killers were dispatched at once to deal with Ling Chen, one of whom is a martial artist at the peak of the fourth level, and the other has even reached the fifth level.
In an instant, Ling Chen faced tremendous pressure.
A martial artist at the peak of the fourth level was already a formidable foe. What was even more terrible was that the sky had already completely darkened. This was undoubtedly a natural advantage for a killer, but extremely disadvantageous for Ling Chen.
Fortunately, this was where he lived, and Ling Chen was very familiar with the terrain here. He made a prompt decision and retreated into the grove, hoping to use the terrain to avoid the enemy.
The black-clad assassin did not seem to be in a hurry to kill Ling Chen. He took advantage of the cover of night and blended into the woods. He seemed to have evaporated and disappeared without a trace.
"Oops."
Ling Chen had a bad feeling in his heart. This was undoubtedly the most dangerous time for him. The assassin seemed to have merged with the night. The next time he appeared, he would probably be around him.
Ling Chen raised his vigilance to the highest level and did not dare to act rashly. At this moment, the faster he moved, the more dangerous it would be.
"Brother Lingchen, be careful behind you, five meters!"
Ling Yin's voice suddenly broke the silence.
Hearing this, Ling Chen's expression suddenly changed. Without even looking at it, he burst out all his accumulated strength and suddenly swung a crescent-shaped sword energy behind him. The sword energy slashed out from the sword, leaving a golden light and shadow in the air.
"puff!"
The killer was caught off guard and was directly struck by the sword energy and flew away. He was seriously injured and coughed up blood.
"Damn little girl, if you keep talking too much, I'll kill you first!"
After being chopped off by a sword, the black-clad assassin's eyes were extremely gloomy. He was about to succeed, but he didn't expect to be exposed by Ling Yin. He became angry and decided to kill Ling Yin first and then deal with Ling Chen.
As soon as he finished speaking, he left Ling Chen behind, turned around and rushed towards Ling Yin at full speed, his eyes full of murderous intent, quickly locking onto the latter's slender figure.
"Stop! Ling Yin, run!"
Ling Chen's face changed. How could Ling Yin, who was only at the eighth level of martial arts, be a match for this black-clad assassin? If she was caught by this black-clad assassin, Ling Yin would surely die.
