Screaming the sky with swords

Seeing the three people saluting respectfully, Zhang Xiaoyun was very satisfied, and laughed loudly: "Haha, three little guys, I really didn't expect that you have come to this place, how is it, have you walked around? In fact, this Hongnong City It's still a very nice place, do you want me to send someone to take you around to have fun!"

Seeing Zhang Xiaoyun, the three of them naturally didn't dare to sit down, but Wenren Qiaoer looked very familiar with the bald old man, and said directly, "Master Deputy City Master, why are you here!"

"Haha, um, you should all know the situation in Hongnong City, right? We have never let go of our attention to Hongnong City. As soon as we received the notification of the abnormality here, we responded immediately. Therefore, I will Come on, um, if the three of you are here, you can just help me solve some things." Zhang Xiaoyun said.

At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps outside, and a square-faced man in his fifties walked in. It was obvious at a glance that he was the kind of person who had been in a high position for a long time, and he hardly needed an introduction. Just know that he is the city lord of Hongnong City!

Seeing the person coming, Zhang Xiaoyun also stood up, laughed and said: "Haha, come on, let me introduce to you, this is Hongnongcheng City Advocate Xiaolin, a level nine swordsman, these three little guys are the most famous in our martial arts hall." The three outstanding disciples are also seedlings that our City Lord's Mansion has devoted all our efforts to cultivating, haha."

Zhang Xiaolin glanced at the three of them, and was a little surprised. Although the three of them have now used the breath restraint technique to control their cultivation to the level of a first-level swordsman, their age cannot be concealed. , with a gentle look on his face, he nodded, but didn't speak, just walked to Zhang Xiaoyun's side and sat down.

Zhang Xiaolin said indifferently: "I heard that the three of you are looking for me, what's the matter?"

From the other party's tone, Zheng Lingxiao could hear that the city lord must have thought that the three of them were here to ask for help or to show off their identities, so he curled his lips indistinctly and released the four corpses.

Immediately, the two people in the seat were a little surprised. They could easily see how these dead people had cultivated in life, but what shocked them most was the word "Secret" on their chests. I told them everything I had seen and heard, but they turned the process of killing the four into a sneak attack.

After listening to the narration, Zhang Xiaoyun frowned and said, "That's impossible. The Hidden Guards were clearly blocked by us at the border, and they fought every day. How could they go to Lianhua Mountain?"

Zhang Xiaolin just paced in the hall like this, ignoring the four people present. After about a stick of incense, he shook his head, but he couldn't figure it out anyway. He glanced at the three of Zheng Lingxiao and frowned slightly. Eyebrow, said: "Do you have anything else to do? If not, I will order someone to arrange a place for you. You can rest assured that it is safe."

After hearing this, the three of them felt as if their chests were blocked by something. They were very uncomfortable. Wenren Qiaoer even wanted to turn around and leave. She looked at Zhang Xiaoyun and saw that he didn't respond. The aunt immediately He was so angry that his face was bulging, and he was about to leave in anger, but he endured seeing Zheng Lingxiao and the others not moving. However, even a fool could see the dissatisfied expression.

Zheng Lingxiao took a deep breath and said, "My lord, my disciples believe that the key to the so-called Hidden Guard lies in the word "Secret". , even you were deceived by the lord of Yunhe City!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiaolin's sharp eyes shot at Zheng Lingxiao, and even Zhang Xiaoyun, who was drinking tea first, stopped. However, facing the falcon-like gaze, Zheng Lingxiao was quite happy. Frightened, he stared at him calmly. After about 2 minutes, Zhang Xiaolin's ice-like voice sounded slowly: "Continue talking."

Zheng Lingxiao smiled lightly, and said: "The so-called secret, if it is so easy for others to know the details, can it still be called secret, so, I think, there is a great possibility that the city lord deliberately let us know the news, And the real Hidden Guard did not appear in our sight at all."

Zhang Xiaoyun pondered for a while, and then said, "You mean, there are actually two Hidden Guards, the one we know is just a cover, and the real Hidden Guard has been lurking in the dark all along!"

Hearing this conclusion, Zhang Xiaolin couldn't help trembling all over his body. At this moment, he finally figured out the key point. Zheng Lingxiao continued to say: "Hehe, I'm afraid the strongest of the opponent's three guards is not the iron guard at all, but the secret one. The Hidden Guard, and, I infer, this hidden guard has always been active in the hinterland of our Black Wind City!"

Another heavy news made the two people above stunned in place, unable to accept it for a while, Zhang Xiaolin shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, the other party has such a strong force lurking in my territory, but we don't even have a clue Didn't notice, are you insulting the ability of my city lord's mansion?"

Zheng Lingxiao smiled disdainfully, but didn't say anything else, and turned around with the first brother and the two to leave. At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyun suddenly said, "Wait a minute, little guy, I still have something to ask you!"

Stopping, turning around, Zheng Lingxiao cast doubtful eyes over, Zhang Xiaoyun pondered for a moment and said: "Little guy, our border is a little tight now, the main reason is not that we don't have enough troops, but that we don't have enough backbone. At this level, the opponent is almost twice as strong as us, so I want the three of you to accompany the troops who will go to reinforce tomorrow, so as to reduce some pressure for us."

Zheng Lingxiao looked at him with a half-smile, and slowly said: "Master Deputy City Lord, you really think highly of us, do you think that just the three of us can change the trend of the entire battlefield?"

Zhang Xiaoyun didn't care about the sarcasm in his words, and explained: "Of course not, as I said, there must be other troops going to reinforce, um, let me tell you, our group went there There are about 100 great sword masters, and the rest are also top-rank sword masters."

Speaking of which, he looked at the three of them, with a sly gleam in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Hehe, you three little foxes, don't pretend to be in front of the old man, I don't believe that you are only as strong as a low-rank great swordsman!" , Even if it is a sneak attack, someone who can instantly kill a ninth-level great swordsman is definitely not mediocre, I believe that you will be the nightmare of the other great swordsman!"

Hearing these very firm words, the three of them couldn't find a reason to refute for a while. The first brother opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. After thinking about it, Zheng Lingxiao said: "Okay, we can go to , However, we will not go forward with the big army, hehe, the hunter hiding in the dark is the most terrifying, so, I hope that only the two city lords know our whereabouts, so that we can truly become each other Nightmare of the Great Swordsman, all you need to do is give me a detailed map and detailed information about the opponent."

Upon hearing Zheng Lingxiao's words, the eyes of both of them lit up. With a wave of Zhang Xiaolin's hand, he gave the three of them everything they needed, and also distributed enough pills and low-grade spirit stones.

At night, three black shadows flashed out from the back door of the City Lord's Mansion, and after just a few flashes, they had already arrived on the roof of a house two streets away. I didn't notice the figure on the roof, and walked over quickly. The black shadow continued to jump on the roof, and after avoiding a few waves of patrols, they came to the city wall and easily knocked out a few soldiers , and then jumped off the city wall with a tool, and left quickly, two howling wolves came from a distance, and when I looked again, the five figures were already at the end of the sky.

The border line is actually a large jungle about 300 kilometers wide that is more than [-] miles away from Hongnong City. It happens to separate Heifeng City and Yunhe City, just like a natural dividing line. The terrain in the jungle is complicated. But there are no monsters, this is also known as a strange land, and what is even more strange is that there is a large plain about [-] miles wide on both sides of the jungle, which is as flat as an airport, without any obstacles. It is absolutely impossible for the above to do something like a sneak attack.

Looking at the military camps appearing every other distance on the plain from afar, Zheng Lingxiao exclaimed: "The power of creation is really amazing and great."

Wenren Qiaoer rolled her eyes and said, "In this situation, how can we enter the border without being discovered?"

The first brother said indifferently: "Why do you have to be sneaky, can't we just go there in such an open and aboveboard?"

"Don't we want to enter secretly? If people know of our existence, then wouldn't it be meaningless for us to come here alone!" Wenren Qiaoer retorted.

Looking up at the sky, Zheng Lingxiao said: "It will be dawn soon, and we will not be invisible. If we want to go across this great plain without being discovered, it is simply a fantasy, but we have this, so we can do it now." Go to the No. 33 barracks, wait until dawn, and we will mix in with those mercenary regiments."

The first brother also took out a silver-white round metal sign with a pattern of rice fields on one side and a word "secret" engraved on the other side. He shook the sign and said, "Just this shit , what's the use of it, if others don't know about it, I'm afraid they will arrest us as crazy."

Wenren Qiaoer frowned, and asked, "What is neuropathy?"

In front of the No. 33 barracks, when the guards saw the sign in the hands of Zheng Lingxiao and the three of them, they respectfully invited the three of them into it. What surprised them even more was that the general here came out to greet them in person. It was like treating his own immediate boss, but he didn't mention the identities of the three.

After repairing for about two hours, the horn sounded. At this time, the three people discovered that the entire team was actually a miscellaneous army composed of soldiers, mercenary regiments, mercenaries, and family children. I'm afraid it's not satisfactory, and maybe some people will hold back.

The general's voice sounded on the general platform: "Everyone knows the rules, so I won't repeat them. In short, disperse your actions and use the enemy's head as evidence of merit. !"

More than 1000 people from Hulala rushed out of the barracks and rushed towards the dense jungle. Zheng Lingxiao, the three of them and two wolves mixed in the crowd and entered the forest. When he saw the trees here, Zheng Lingxiao's heart was extremely shocked. It was a thick tree surrounded by ten people. There were battle marks scattered all over the tree, but they were all very shallow. It can be said that there was no harm to these trees. There is a feeling of being hit on steel, but the tree is completely motionless!

The first brother was surprised and said: "I can't see it, the trees here are so hard, if it is the kind of tree in the Monster Mountain Range, although Xiao Wuyi Palm can't say it can break it, at least it can make it shake Let's go for a while!"

"Also, have you noticed that the aura here is much stronger than other places, but there are no monsters or even medicinal materials here, it is really unimaginable, but, I I have a question, why no one is practicing here, I am afraid that the progress will be very large." Wenren Qiaoer's voice sounded.

Zheng Lingxiao frowned, and said: "There is no one practicing here, it should be because of him, or because of the war during this period, no one dares to practice here, you wait."

As he said that, he just sat down cross-legged and began to practice the exercises. The first brother and the two also looked at him nervously. He didn't do anything else, just left.

After about a stick of incense, Zheng Lingxiao opened his eyes, stood up and said, "There is nothing wrong with the aura here. I have run a small week, and I didn't feel any discomfort, which is strange."

Next, the first brother and Wenren Qiao'er also took turns to try it, but they didn't feel that there was anything wrong. They really couldn't figure it out. The first brother laughed and said: "Haha, why do you think so much? Find someone to ask Is that enough?"

Zheng Lingxiao also laughed at himself, instead of being entangled in this issue, he continued to move forward, and the light became dimmer the further he walked in. Suddenly, Xuan Yue and Xi Yue stopped and took a fighting posture. Almost stood up.

Seeing this situation, the faces of the three of them darkened, and even Zheng Lingxiao couldn't notice the arrival of the other party, which showed a situation - an assassin, and an assassin who had practiced stealth to an extremely advanced level!

Assassin is a very rare profession in the mainland. There are hundreds of millions of swordsmen in the whole continent. However, there are less than [-] assassins among them. , and most of them do not have a high level of stealth, and there are very few who can practice stealth to the level in front of them!

Needless to say, the three of them immediately stood back to back and looked around vigilantly. However, they didn't notice anything. The defensive posture of the two big guys clearly told them that the assassin was still watching!

The three of them maintained this posture, and an hour passed quickly, but nothing happened, but the three of them and the two wolves did not relax their vigilance. Suddenly, there was a scream not far away, Wenren Qiaoer His spirit suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously looked in that direction.

At the same time as she turned her head, a faint figure suddenly appeared in front of her, and a cold sword light shone from her neck, as if, the next moment, that beautiful head was about to fly up, However, the sudden crisp sound of ding changed the ending.

The tip of Zheng Lingxiao's long sword just hit the blade of the dagger, and the dagger was only a hair's breadth away from Wenren Qiao'er's snow-white neck. When the hit missed, the assassin's figure retreated quickly, and it seemed to disappear In sight, however, Zheng Lingxiao had no intention of chasing him.

Just when the figure was almost invisible, two flashes of silver light appeared at the place where the figure was at a speed that surpassed the speed of eyesight. He opened his mouth wide and bit the assassin's legs at the same time, With a violent pull from both sides, click, crack, and with the sound of bones cracking, the man was actually torn in half abruptly!

Until then, the three people could see clearly that it was a masked man in black clothes about 1.5 meters tall. He was not interested in observing anything. Zheng Lingxiao turned around and left, but the first brother said: "His things Don't want it?"

Zheng Lingxiao said indifferently: "Assassins, apart from their weapons, they won't have any good things on them, because all their money will be converted into cultivation and combat power in the first place."

"Also, if his head is taken back, it must be a great achievement, don't we want it?" Brother One continued to ask.

"If such a person is killed, the owner of Yunhe city will probably die of heartache. This credit is not worth it, otherwise, he will definitely be targeted by the hidden guard!" Zheng Lingxiao said lightly.

At this time, Xuan Yue came to Zheng Lingxiao's side with the dagger in her mouth, her big tail swaying non-stop, her wolf eyes narrowed into crescents, Zheng Lingxiao smiled, took the dagger, and stroked its big head twice. Next, Xuan Yue yelled twice in excitement.

After playing with this mysterious mid-grade dagger, Zheng Lingxiao said: "Let's go, let's go and see what happened over there."

20 meters away, there was a headless male corpse. Blood stained a big tree behind him. It could be seen from his clothes that he was from the side of Black Wind City. The storage bag on his waist was gone, but What makes the three of them feel cold is that there is no trace of fighting here at all, that is to say, this fourth-level great swordsman was instantly killed by someone, and the person who can do this is either a seven A great swordsman above the level is either a ~~~~ assassin!
