night.

High walls, gray tiles, and bluestone alleys.

More than a dozen soldiers at the head and end of the alley were holding knives and killing each other, blocking Chen Ji and the spy in the middle. Chen Ji moved his wrist and took off the cloth strip from his mouth.

A soldier looked down at the uneven stone road. The hemp rope he had just cut was lying there quietly, with neat cuts.

The soldier's expression suddenly changed. He slowly held the blade in front of him and carefully and seriously looked at the traces in front of him.

The knife he had just struck with the intention of killing someone had inadvertently saved the person. The blade was not too much, not too much, and there was no trace of damage.

The moment just now was so fast that others may not have seen it clearly, but he knew exactly where he was going to cut.

coincide?

impossible.

The blade in front of him slowly turned toward Chen Ji, and he whispered to his colleagues: "There are masters."

After that, he added: "The person who kidnapped him is probably more powerful!"

The soldiers slowly surrounded them.

In the narrow alley, the spy tried to break through several times but failed. Moreover, he suddenly felt that these elephant guards seemed to be deliberately targeting him, and they attacked with all their strength every time, especially fiercely.

The Elephant Guards approached step by step, like mountains pressing down, narrowing the space for the secret agent and Chen Ji to move. In just a few rounds of tentative exchanges, the secret agent had been stabbed on his left arm and chest, dripping with blood.

The soldiers looked at each other and saw that this man was not as powerful as they thought!

Something weird!

kill!

The next moment, the soldiers struck again with their swords. Chen Ji turned sideways to avoid the sword blow and lowered his voice and asked: "Where is the bronze whistle of the Secret Intelligence Department? I'm calling my colleagues to come over for support..."

Chen Ji didn't even have a knife in his hand, so Chen Ji just felt that fighting was awkward.

Previously, he was stalling for time, reluctant to approach the Peony Bridge, for fear of being affected by the fight between the Liu family and the Secret Service. Unexpectedly, the Liu family was so determined to kill Golden Pig that they secretly attracted so many elites.

There are more than ten people in one small alley, how many are there in the whole area?

Now is not the time to think about these things, you must escape first!

Chen Ji continued: "Hey, your..."

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned.

The spy was seen tugging at his clothes, using his body as a shield, and trying to rush out.

The soldiers were about to pounce, but suddenly stopped slowly.

However, Chen Ji suddenly grasped the back of the spy's long sword. With a slight shake of his hand, the spy involuntarily let go of his hand, and the strange tremor transmitted from the blade was like an electric shock.

Before the secret agent could react, the soldiers saw Chen Ji suddenly turning around, holding the back of the knife in his right hand, and stabbing the tip of the knife diagonally into the secret agent's lungs with his backhand.

The spy looked at Chen Ji in disbelief and could only let out a gasping sound of "ho ho".

In the dark alley, Chen Ji pushed the spy's chest with his left hand and slowly pulled out the spy's lungs with the knife.

In the silence, he looked at the soldiers who were silent for a moment: "Did Lord Liu ask you to come and rescue me? Take me away."

The soldiers saw that he looked calm and did not seem to be hypocritical.

Just when the other soldiers were about to put away their swords, an elephant guard suddenly said: "Master Liu never explained this matter, take it down! Tie him up before we talk!"

Suddenly, there was fire in the distance.

A raging fire illuminated the entire interior, as if someone's palm was stained with scarlet paint and was casually swiping it on the black canvas, which was dilapidated and glorious.

The firelight passed over the white walls and gray tiles, and the figures in the alley swayed. Everyone felt that the heat wave was sweeping over them.

breathe.

Chen Ji waved his knife like a star hanging upside down, and the light flowed on the shiny knife, as if the knife was also burning, sweeping up the fire.

The elephant guard who bore the brunt raised his sword to block, but Chen Ji's sword was too fast. Before he could raise his hand, the sword had already hit his shoulder.

The sound of leather cutting was heard. After the knife cut through the leather armor, it only left a half-inch deep wound on the soldier's shoulder, which was not fatal.

Chen Ji frowned and backed away. He looked at the blade and then at the opponent's leather armor.

The knife in my hand is too different from the one above.

The spy who fell to the ground early coughed up blood and looked at this scene in despair, with unwillingness in his eyes. He really wanted to tell the Golden Pig that there was indeed something wrong with this person. But he had no chance.

The elephant armor guard turned his head and glanced at the wound, and said expressionlessly: "Being able to split the elephant armor is a good job, but the level of cultivation is not too high. Form a formation and kill on the spot."

In the swaying firelight, the soldiers stepped over the fallen spy one after another, and their shadows passed over the spy's face one after another, like the last reflection of his life.

The raging fire is approaching, and in winter, the flames form a sea of ​​​​fire in Luo City.

Heat waves surged in the alley, and my hair became scorched and curled in the scorching air.

Instead of retreating, they advanced. The moment the two sides came into contact, the Elephant Guard relied on the toughness of its leather armor and opened and closed without leaving any room.

But Chen Ji was no longer a formidable opponent, but he could see the blade cutting through the gap in the leather armor at a strange angle, like an antelope hanging its horns, as vague and without a trace.

With a squeaking sound, the tip of the knife scratched with a trace of blood, and the blood spattered on the white wall.

The soldiers were frightened by the sword and stepped back one after another.

The man who had been cut opened his leather armor to check the injury, and was shocked to find that his armpit had been opened with a knife, and he was bleeding profusely.

Aortic rupture.

At first he didn't feel it was fatal, but after three breaths, the soldier felt that all his strength was flowing away like a river draining away.

This sword shattered the self-confidence that the leather armor gave the armored man. The elephant armor, the basis of his bravery, could no longer block the sword!

Both of them are experienced in battles, so they naturally know the level of this sword.

They silently looked at Chen Ji, feeling that the level of the official in front of them was not too high, but this sword skill was more important than the level.

One of them said ferociously: "Kill!"

"kill!"

The soldiers pounced again.

The alley is narrow, and at most four Elephant Guards will besiege the ruins at a time. If one person dies, someone alive will take over.

One elephant guard after another fell, and one elephant guard after another took up the battle formation, until at a certain moment, everyone suddenly found that there was no one behind them to replace them.

The traces were rolling around in the alley, like a stone roller, crushing all the soldiers in the alley.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Chen Ji was covered in blood, and the white walls in the alley were splattered with blood, like a landscape painting with red mountains and rivers.

There was only the last soldier left in the alley. Chen Yi took a step forward, and the soldier took a step back.

The soldier turned around and ran wildly, but after taking only two steps, he saw Chen Ji throw the long knife in his hand hard, and the tip of the knife spanned several meters and pierced the soldier's neck.

In the firelight, Chen Ji supported the wall with his hands, bent over and gasped violently.

"Hiss!" He took back his hand. In this hell on earth, the blood was hot, the air was hot, and even the walls were hot.

Chen Ji stood up, looked blankly at the head and end of the alley, retched a few times for some unknown reason, and then stood up forcefully.

He thought for a moment, threw the corpses into the sea of ​​fire, turned around, put on a leather armor and fled outside.

…

…

The inner square and the sea of ​​fire were full of corpses, and elephant-armored guards could be seen everywhere, patrolling back and forth, hunting down the remaining spies.

Chen Ji wore leather armor and ran towards the Luohe River with his head lowered. In tonight's game, he had to confirm with his own eyes that the Golden Pig was dead.

Passing through layers of alleys, the sound of water flowing closer and closer.

When he walked out of the maze-like alley, he felt that the world suddenly became brighter and even the air became extremely fresh.

Chen Ji held on to the wooden railing beside the river bank, breathing greedily while turning his head to look towards the Peony Bridge in the distance.

The misty morning light intertwined with the firelight, and he just happened to see the golden pigs fighting in a wolf. He used his last strength to grab Xifeng and Liujiao by their collars, and threw them violently, flying over the crowd and falling into the cold and biting Luo River water.

.

With two pops of sound, Xifeng struggled for a moment in the water to get his head out, and said heartbreakingly: "Sir!"

The golden pig shouted angrily on the bridge: "Get out of here!"

After that, he stopped struggling and stood up slowly.

Liu Mingming was wearing a black fox fur cloak, placed the copper hand stove on the carriage, and clapped his hands gently: "I didn't expect that the secret agent Zodiac, who is so heartless, would sacrifice himself to save others."

The golden pig sneered and said: "I am going to send them to report to the Interior Minister. When the Interior Minister asks for instructions from the Lord Long Live, I will immediately mobilize the Long Live Army to kill your entire Liu family!"

Liu Mingming shook his head: "The man at Renshou Palace won't care about such nonsense. He will just sit cross-legged on his white crane couch and practice Taoism. He will wait for the people below to kill you to death and then intervene to mediate. Only you.

I killed him ruthlessly so that he could sit firmly. Over the years, my Liu family has been bitten away bit by bit, and I know better than you."

The golden pig is silent.

After a while, he simply sat down on the ground like a knife and said: "No more effort, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, there is nothing to say."
