Chapter 674: Sunshade
Chapter 674: Sunshade
A voice like this sounded familiar yet confusing to him.
Normally, in such a life-or-death situation, the target person should not make any movement.
But it happened anyway. Does this mean he doesn't take himself seriously?
This was a contempt for a killer of his level, an extreme contempt, and even an insult to his professional skills.
Just a moment of anger made him slightly adjust the direction of the crossbow and pull the trigger steadily.
As soon as the mechanism sounded, Lin Feng and Pei Qiyin, who were in a daze, immediately turned over and dodged.
Although the two men were trapped in a situation from which they could not extricate themselves, they knew in their hearts that there was a powerful enemy lurking around and waiting to strike.
From the very beginning, Lin Feng counted the number of the opponent's crossbow arrows in his mind.
Lin Feng knew very well how many crossbow arrows could be loaded into the quiver of this very familiar weapon.
This time, the two of them no longer hesitated. Lin Feng used both hands to push Pei Qiyin up.
Pei Qiyin, relying on Lin Feng's arm strength, stretched his body in mid-air and quickly floated towards the place where the crossbow arrow was fired.
The killer knew that the crossbow arrow did not hit the opponent, but he heard the sound of clothes fluttering in the air.
He moved silently in another direction, avoiding Pei Qiyin's counterattack.
The crossbow was thrown away and a short knife was drawn from his body with his backhand.
His body approached Pei Qiyin silently like a ghost.
Pei Qiyin's attack was unsuccessful, so he immediately took out his weapon from his arms, put it to his mouth and started playing.
When the killer was halfway through moving his body, he suddenly heard a sound that made his body numb.
"Huh? Seven Sounds of Terror..."
He made a sound unconsciously.
He was familiar with this music. Using sound as a weapon to attack the enemy was rare in the martial arts world, unless...
He was very close to Pei Qiyin, the voice was so clear, and his hearing was different from that of ordinary people.
So, I felt very sad. My whole body was weak and numb, my legs and feet were sore, and I felt so sad that I wanted to roll on the ground.
He covered his ears with both hands, but still couldn't stop the sound from entering his earlobes.
Pei Qiyin held the xiao in his left hand and played it in front of his mouth, with a sharp spike protruding from his right wrist.
His body flashed and he pounced on the killer.
She heard the other party's footsteps become chaotic and make quite a noise.
The killer was distracted by the music and was unable to make a correct judgment until the spikes were about to hit him.
It was too late to dodge, so he could only turn sideways and shrug his shoulders to block his throat.
A sharp pain made the killer sober up for a moment.
He retreated his body, out of Pei Qiyin's attack range.
Without hesitation, he jumped up with his legs, climbed over the high wall behind him, and fell backwards into the wall.
Pei Qiyin put away his weapon.
"General, where are you?"
Lin Feng casually responded: "What about this, the killer is dead?"
"No, he's gone."
"gone?"
Pei Qiyin followed the sound and walked over, holding Lin Feng's hand. The two continued to move forward and walked towards the entrance of the alley.
"This killer reminds me of someone, the top killer in the organization, named Zhai Ri."
"Blocking the sun?"
Lin Feng muttered to himself.
“It means never seeing the light of day.”
"Oh, what's so great about him?"
"You felt it just now. This man is said to be blind. Apart from his blindness, his other organs are extremely sensitive. If it is in the dark, he almost never fails."
Lin Feng listened attentively to the movements around him and muttered to himself.
"Another top-tier one, but I didn't feel it was that powerful."
Pei Qiyin chuckled and said, "General, haven't you thought of the reason?"
"what?"
"It's because the general has become much more powerful."
Lin Feng shook his head: "I think you are really good and scared the killer away."
"I just scared him away. If the general had taken action, he would probably be dead."
"We went a little too far and ignored the killer's existence."
Pei Qiyin's face flushed in the dark as he whispered.
"We all have excessive confidence in our own abilities."
"So, we both did it on purpose just now?"
Lin Feng said deliberately.
"I don't..."
Although Pei Qiyin had been in the underworld for a long time, he was still embarrassed by Lin Feng's words.
She took his hand and pinched it hard.
When Lin Feng heard that her breathing was not smooth, he quickly changed the subject.
"Why didn't you chase him and kill him just now?"
Pei Qiyin shook his head: "No one can catch up with Zha Ri in the dark night."
Lin Feng frowned: "So, even if it was me just now, I probably wouldn't be able to kill him."
"It's hard to say, you're too weird."
"Ah? Why do you say that?"
Pei Qiyin was even confused: "You are always unexpected, it's hard to judge..."
As the two were talking, they had already come out of the alley. In front of them was a wide street with soldiers standing on the street holding torches.
"who?"
As soon as the two men showed their heads, they were pointed at by four soldiers with spears and shouted at.
Since no one had entered the alley for such a long time, I knew that the entrance to the alley was blocked by someone, and it was not someone from my team.
"Who are you?"
"The Royal Guards are on night patrol. Tell us your identities."
Lin Feng frowned. How did the Royal Guard Battalion get involved?
Zhao Gui has basically been ruined by what he did, so who was behind this assassination?
Lin Feng took out his badge and raised it forward.
"Lin Feng, deputy commander of the Imperial Guard."
The soldier was startled and stepped forward to grab the badge, but Lin Feng took it back.
"Who asked you to patrol here at night?"
"you..."
Several soldiers looked at each other, not knowing whether to answer.
Judging from their expressions, the soldiers had no idea that there was another purpose for patrolling here at night.
Lin Feng was also wondering where the guards he had arranged were.
How come I haven’t seen any of them yet?
"Our captain said... no one is allowed to pass through here."
"Did your captain mention that the deputy commander of the Royal Guards is also banned?"
The four soldiers were confused and shook their heads subconsciously.
"Are there only four of you here?"
A soldier murmured: "Sir, there are still...many..."
"Come and talk to your leader."
Although they were soldiers of the Royal Guard Battalion, they were frightened by Lin Feng's reputation and high rank.
Lin Feng's name was known to almost everyone in Kyoto. Moreover, after he became the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, he killed many officers in succession and defeated 40,000 Black Turban Army in one fell swoop, taking back Kuncheng.
Seeing that the two men were not carrying any weapons, a soldier quickly ran out.
He led an officer from the dark, and judging by the armor he was wearing, he should be a centurion.
In the light of the torch, the centurion looked at Lin Feng carefully and felt that this man was not fake from his appearance.
But judging from his behavior, I feel that as the deputy commander of the Royal Guards, he should not appear here alone with a woman.
"Who ordered you to set up guard here?"
Lin Feng asked in a deep voice.
"Uh, Captain Ji Yanping..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of hurried horse hooves in the distance.
In just a moment, a team of cavalry rushed over from the street corner.
One of the knights was holding a torch and stopped his horse not far from the entrance of the alley.
The leading knight was Lin Feng’s guard captain, Wen Jian.
He jumped off his horse in a hurry and strode to Lin Feng with an anxious look on his face.
"General, we've been deceived. We've fallen into a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain..."
