Chapter 236 Will You Bleed?
The old eunuch was in a panic.
The last time I was so anxious was when that man with a sword came to the front of Hanyuan Palace, and I was also helpless like today.
He searched all the places in the hall where people might be hidden, even the coffins of the two concubines of the main owner in the tomb above were searched, but still found nothing.
"If it doesn't work, go to the academy to find Meng Yan. This must be another weird thing like a barrier!" The old eunuch muttered to himself, and prepared to search again. If there was still no result, he would go back to Dongdu first.
It doesn't matter if the person ran away, but it's not okay for him to disappear in such an unclear way.
And when he floated down the secret passage and returned to the hall, he suddenly narrowed his already narrow eyes.
"Boy, no matter who you are, if you play tricks on me, you will get a beating."
The torches in the hall had all been extinguished at some point, leaving only a few faint lights coming from somewhere. On the black stone chair that was broken by Zhao Yushu, a blurry figure stood there, turned slightly and glanced at him.
Zhao Yushu stared at the figure intently, holding Madam Xu tightly in his right hand and releasing the Dragon Bird in his left hand. Judging from the wounds on the corpses outside, it can be seen that the other party is also using weapons. The Dragon Bird can even suppress the weapons of the seventh-level elders of Wangjiang Tower, so it must have a certain effect on the weapons of the person in front of him.
The other party seemed to smile when he saw the two short weapons in his hands. At this distance, the man's figure was very blurry, so his smile should not be visible.
The next moment, Zhao Yushu turned around almost instinctively and crossed the two weapons together.
With a slight ding sound, Zhao Yushu was knocked away by the huge impact force and fell to the ground.
He didn't have time to feel the pain coming from his back, there was only horror in his eyes.
Shadow step!
Just now he didn't even see the shadow disappear, because it would be too late after it disappeared. There is no time interval at all with the Shadow Step. Unless one has extremely high cultivation and can react the moment the opponent appears, one must know what is ahead if he wants to block the sneak attack of the Shadow Step.
Most assassins like to backstab, and this person is no exception, so Zhao Yushu had the opportunity to predict the success in advance, and Longque also contributed to it.
The opponent used weapons, and Longque's attack was not ineffective. It was just that the opponent's cultivation was too high, so high that it could only suppress him for a moment. It was this moment that gave Zhao Yushu time to make a blocking move.
But this success was only once.
Why can the opponent use Shadow Step but I can't?
Zhao Yushu jumped up and started to move around randomly without any rules. At the same time, he quietly transformed into Chengying and wrapped the Tiancan silk around his wrist in case of emergency.
But he still wasn't sure.
If it was an ordinary fifth or even sixth level, even without the Shadow Step, Zhao Yushu would have given it a try. Winning or not is another matter, but it would be difficult for him to lose in a particularly ugly way, unless the opponent was a mobile treasure house like the Little Heavenly Master.
But this opponent in front of him, who he couldn't tell whether he was a human or a ghost, had shown his terrifying performance in the passage before. If he really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't even need to use two moves. But if he didn't want to kill him, where did the omnipresent malice come from?
Can't he kill it?
Although the attack just now was heavy, it should not be at the level of Neijing, otherwise he would be dead even if he blocked it.
With the rapid running, the black stone hall, which was not too big to begin with, was soon filled with afterimages like an ink painting.
However, the expected second attack did not come. His constantly tense nerves almost overwhelmed him, and the constant high-speed running was also rapidly consuming his spiritual power and physical strength.
This is not a solution. Zhao Yushu looked at another corpse appearing and suddenly had an idea.
The old eunuch swatted away a dagger that was attacking from the side, but he didn't even have the chance to use the vortex of spiritual power to stick to his opponent.
too fast!
The black shadow disappeared in an instant after looking at him, and appeared beside him almost at the same moment. If he had not noticed the extremely slight spiritual power fluctuation caused by its appearance, he would have been defeated by the other party by now.
The other party is definitely an interior scene!
The sword blade was almost touching his skin when he slapped it away with his palm. After slapping it away, his palm actually felt a slight pain. This slightly palpitating feeling has not appeared since he had a sparring match with the master a few years ago.
"Who are you?" The old eunuch is best at defense, but that doesn't mean he can't attack.
The next moment after he slapped away the sword, the old eunuch's body flashed and he stuck closely to the assassin, striking him with his palms continuously. Within such a short distance, his speed was no different from teleportation.
And with every strike of his palm, the surrounding spiritual energy was forced to be sucked into his hands. Once stuck, no matter how fast you are, no one can easily escape except for those few people.
However, the opponent's footsteps were so fast that a shadow was left. When he was about to get close to him, the black shadow disappeared out of thin air and appeared several feet away at the same time.
The old eunuch stopped and stood with his hands behind his back: "Hand him over, and I will spare your life."
The black shadow said nothing and slowly raised his right hand. A pitch-black dagger seemed to absorb all the remaining light around him. The old eunuch could not help but clench his fists. Even though he was in the inner scene, he could not see anything.
The light disappeared completely.
Zhao Yushu stopped, Chengying was thrown out, and stabbed silently towards an empty space. Of course, there would be nothing here, but Zhao Yushu was not stabbing randomly. There was nothing here now, but in his impression, there had been something here before.
There was a dead body.
This temptation seemed to be completely groundless, just to verify a fleeting thought that occurred to him.
But in the face of such an exaggerated gap in strength, no matter what tricks he used, it would be useless. It would be impossible to hurt that shadow, so he had to try another method.
If you can't get out with your strength, then use your brain!
Zhao Yushu ran out of the hall again and returned to the corridor. As expected, there were more than a dozen corpses in the corridor.
Zhao Yushu pulled out Madam Xu and chopped at the front in a seemingly random manner. There are so many corpses here, so he should be able to encounter one, right?
But at the same time, there are a lot of corpses here, and I might happen to be hit by one.
Before he could finish his thought, a black light flashed from the corner of his eye. Zhao Yushu only had time to turn his head. A trace of blood instantly seeped out of his left cheek, and a very thin wound appeared on his face.
Why didn't he cut my neck!
Zhao Yushu covered his face and quickly retreated. This was the second time. He could kill but didn't. It seemed that his idea was wrong.
But it seemed to be right, because the location where the other party appeared was almost the same as what he expected!
However, I am afraid that I will not have more opportunities to verify it. The wound on the left face is very small, but the blood cannot be stopped from flowing and it does not drip.
The blood disappeared out of thin air!
The speed was not fast. It was not like the mummies he had seen before, which only took a few breaths to completely drain all their blood. But if this continued, he would only be a few minutes away from death.
Damn, even if I guessed it right, so what? The other party was obviously playing tricks on me. Seeing through it would only make him more angry, and maybe he would kill me?
With a puff, a subtle sound came from the hall.
Zhao Yushu finally revealed a smile, took a step forward, and rushed forward leaving a trail of afterimage.
Tell me. Do you bleed?
You will.
