Chapter 132: Night Escape
"Could it be that he's not dead?"; Wu Jiu looked at Lin Feng, his face also showing an expression of disbelief; "This doesn't make sense!";
This stab directly pierced the kidney, and according to reason, no one should have survived.
"Wu Jiu!" Lin Feng roared, throwing a heavy punch at Wu Jiu. The fist flew at an incredible speed and with immense power, leaving Wu Jiu no chance to dodge. Lin Feng's single punch directly blasted Wu Jiu's skull.
Just at that moment, Lin Feng suddenly felt Wu Jiu's sudden burst of killing intent and saw his move. It was already impossible to dodge, in the nick of time, Lin Feng relied on the ability of Zhuque Wanhua Gong to forcibly move his own vital organs with yuan force.
So Wujiu's fatal blow turned out to be a useless move.
Wu Jiu is not the real Wu Jiu, but an assassin sent by the killer organization "Sheng Tang Wu Shi". Sheng Tang Wu Shi prides itself on the art of killing, and after receiving intelligence that Lin Feng was a 7th-level strongman, they dispatched a 6th-level strongman to assassinate him.
The assassin's plan had almost succeeded, but Lin Feng's strong perception saved his life. The killer's actual strength was only at the sixth level of Tiger Fist, and he couldn't withstand Lin Feng's counterattack.
Lin Feng was stabbed by the killer, although not fatal, but also extremely serious. Lin Feng pulled out the dagger with force and threw it on the ground, and fresh blood was also flying out from his waist.
Fortunately, he had the Vermilion Bird's Infinite Transformations Technique. As long as he hadn't died at that moment, he could naturally recover quickly. The wound closed instantly, stopping the bleeding, and his body began to rapidly absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth to repair its injuries.
"Tell me, who are you and why are you doing this?" Lin Feng gritted his teeth in pain, looking at Ah Xiu with a cold tone.
"What Sacred Hall Warrior, what Murdering Art? Bullshit!" Liu Qingwu looked at the killer on the ground and said disdainfully.
Relying on himself to attract Lin Feng's attention, he still can't kill with one blow. What kind of killer is this from the four major assassination organizations?
When Lin Feng looked at her, Liu Qingwu sneered in her heart and suddenly used force. Her right hand easily escaped from Lin Feng's grasp, and the dagger in her hand flashed coldly, stabbing towards Lin Feng.
"Pffft!" Lin Feng's right arm was instantly pierced!
Lin Feng looked at his own arm which had been pierced by the opponent and was also shocked.
A Xiu made the first move and was easily captured by him. Lin Feng had already regarded her as an ordinary person without power.
However...
I thought Ah Xiu would be unfavorable to himself, but unexpectedly, it was Wu Jiu who made him severely injured! And I originally thought Wu Jiu was the main force of this assassination, but unexpectedly, the real strong one is Ah Xiu!
Facing such an opponent, Lin Feng naturally didn't fear a head-on battle, but now it's really... utterly defenseless!
Liu Qingwu's strike was successful, and she felt a great joy in her heart. However, Lin Feng's reaction was also quick enough, and he suddenly retreated backwards, preventing Liu Qingwu from expanding the wound. Then, without looking back, he rushed towards the alleys.
From the speed at which Ah Xiu struck, Lin Feng already understood that he was at least a Seventh-Grade Tiger Fist strongman. And now his strongest right arm had been severely injured, and the wound on his waist was still recovering, making it extremely difficult for him to defeat his opponent.
So Lin Feng made a decisive decision and chose to run away!
As long as he gave himself time, relying on the recovery ability of Zhuque Wanxiangong, Lin Feng's right arm would soon recover, and then with Zhuque Wanxiangong, he could suppress his opponent.
What Lin Feng needs now is time!
Want to run? Liu Qingwu smiled coldly and her body floated out like a wisp of smoke, already rushing out of the Gu Yue Xuan and chasing after Lin Feng tightly.
"So fast!"; Lin Feng turned his head to look, and he was also shocked. This Ah Xiu's speed was simply indescribable. At least his speed was incomparable.
"This is a Seventh-Order Tiger Fist strongman! And one who excels at Body Techniques, no less!"; Lin Feng also made his own judgment in an instant.
"Run!"; Lin Feng didn't dare to think of anything else, and with all his might, he fled along the street. He knew that there were no powerful masters from the Luoyun Sect in Wulin City, so no one would come to save him, and he could only rely on himself.
I just hope that before he catches up with me, my arm injury can heal quickly.
In Lin Feng's body, the Zhu Que Wan Xiang Gong was operating at full power, and a large amount of heavenly energy was pouring into his body, rapidly repairing his injuries. Meanwhile, behind him, that girl named A Xiu was getting closer and closer in pursuit.
…………
In the backyard of Yishu Building, in the small courtyard of Gu Huan'er.
The red lantern hung high, shining between the flower trees in the small courtyard. Under the lamp shadow, that beautiful woman's eyes were filled with emotions, gazing at the ordinary-looking man opposite her, her slender fingers lightly plucking the strings, playing a clear and elegant melody.
Ji Song's face was filled with a warm and gentle smile, his eyes fixed intently on the woman in front of him.
Time flies, and his beloved Huan'er is no longer young.
Her neck, although carefully dressed up, still has fine wrinkles. Her cheeks also have two shallow gullies.
But she was so beautiful, so noble back then...
It seems like it was just yesterday when I think back on how we met...
…………
Twenty years ago, within the territory of Kun Yu Zong, Beigu Castle.
The sky is cold and the ground is frozen, with heavy snow falling thick and fast.
Outside the gate of the castle, a dirty and ugly beggar huddled on the snowy ground, helplessly covering himself from the spittle of children.
Inside the gate, a beautiful girl of thirteen or fourteen years old walked out, and beside her was an even smaller maid.
As someone came out from inside, the children laughed and ran away, leaving only the beggar lying on the snowy ground.
"What's wrong with you?" The girl walked up to the beggar and squatted down, asking softly.
"My legs are frozen stiff, miss. I can't walk anymore." The beggar said painfully.
"Xing Er, let's carry him back and take a look! If we treat him in time, he should still be able to recover." The young girl said to the maid.
"Xuaner sister, I know you're kind-hearted, but these beggars always come to cheat and swindle, this one is definitely the same! " said servant girl Xing'er with a pout.
"Xing Er, don't talk nonsense!" The young girl scolded.
"Hmm!" Xing Er hummed, seeing the girl had already taken the beggar's arm and was walking away. She reluctantly walked over to the other side and took the dirty beggar's arm.
Two girls struggled to drag the beggar into the city master's mansion, at this time a tall figure walked over: "Huan'er, you've brought another beggar back again?"
The girl stopped and looked at the tall and powerful man with a pout: "Dad, are you blaming Huan'er?"
"Haha, no!"; The young man laughed and said, "You're always so kind-hearted, just like your mother. You're doing good deeds, how could Father blame you?"
I knew it.; The girl smiled happily.
The man smiled and stretched out his hand, placing it on the beggar's forehead: "Let me take a look, how is he?"
"Hum!" The Han man let out a loud hum, his tall body shook violently and fell heavily to the ground.
In his chest, a dull dagger was inserted!
"Dad!"; Seeing her father fall down, the girl was completely stunned!
The beggar pulled out a dagger and his body flashed several times before disappearing.
On this day, Gu Ba Fang, the lord of Beikuo City, was assassinated in the city lord's mansion.
Three days later, the Lu Yun Sect's army arrived for a surprise attack.
The Gu family thought that Gu Ba Fang's assassination was the work of the Luoyun Sect, and everyone was extremely indignant, so the entire clan fought to the death without retreating.
Five days later, the city fell.
Although Luoyun Sect did not offend the civilians in the city at all, the stubbornly resistant Gu family was completely merciless.
The Gu family was completely destroyed.
All men were killed, and all women were sold as slaves!
The Gu family was highly respected in Beiguo City. When the women of the Gu family were escorted out of the city lord's mansion, the people inside the city cried in unison.
In the crowd, there was a young man with an ordinary appearance, his eyes fixed on the beautiful girl with a calm and desperate expression, and in his eyes, there was also infinite guilt...
…………
Recalling the events of those years, Ji Songfeng let out a single sigh.
That year, he assassinated Gu Bafang, which had nothing to do with the war between Luoyun Sect and Kunyu Sect. It was just his mission after completing the training of Dark Night Blade.
An Ye's Blade and City Master Gu Bafang didn't have any grudges either, this target was just randomly chosen.
If it weren't for his intervention this time, the Gu family might not have fought to the death against the Luoyun Sect's army, and Gu Huan'er would not have ended up in a place like Yixiaolou.
The day he met Gu Huaner, he fell in love with this kind girl, but he didn't realize it.
By the time he realized it, the mistake had already been made.
The Blade of Dark Night must not interfere with the struggles of various sects, this is an iron law. He watched helplessly as Gu Huaner was taken away by the army of Luoyun Sect.
But several months later, when I saw Gu Huan'er again... she had already become the top courtesan of "Yi Xiao Lou" and "Wu Lin Twelve Studios".
"Songfeng brother, Huan'er is trying to redeem herself, so the price is a bit higher. I know others have some idle talk, but Huan'er also wants to be with you! Won't Songfeng brother get angry with me for doing this?"
The music ended, Gu Huan'er walked over and leaned into Ji Songfeng's arms, whispering softly.
"It's okay, I'm not angry. If my Huan'er is happy, then I am too, hehe!" Ji Songfeng gently stroked Gu Huan'er's hair and said softly.
"Songfeng brother, you're still good to me. Now it's only you who is nice to Huan'er!" said Gu Huan softly.
Ji Songfeng smiled slightly.
He's not a fool after all, how could he not know that Gu Huan'er is just using him now? But can he blame her for it?
Gu Xuan'er had no idea he was the same beggar from back then!
If she hadn't met him, Gu Huan'er would still be in Beiguzhen, living a comfortable and leisurely life. But precisely because of him, she went from being a noble lady to becoming the flower of Ulin City's pleasure quarters!
He deeply loved this woman, but was powerless to her plight. Faced with Gu Huaner's demand for money, he had only guilt in his heart.
It was because of him that she ended up like this today. Every time he thought back to the beautiful and kind young girl he first met in front of the castle lord's mansion, Kiyomizu's heart felt as if it were being torn apart.
But he's just a small fry, doesn't even have the ability to take her away from here! The big shot behind Yishu Building knows this better than anyone else.
At that time, Gu Xuan didn't know he was that beggar. Of course, he also didn't dare to let her know.
All these years, he had kept these things buried in his heart.
Xiao Yang laughed at me for being foolish and silly, if he knew about this matter, how would he think? Ji Songfeng said with a bitter smile.
…………
"Hmm?" Ji Song's eyebrows suddenly furrowed slightly, with a hint of chill flashing in the depths of his eyes.
"Is a Saint Warrior actually here?! Does our Dark Night Blade not exist?!"
"Songfeng, what's wrong?" The beauty in his arms asked softly.
"Huan'er, I'm going to see a friend, I'll be right back!"; Ji Songfeng's expression eased up as he looked at Gu Huan'er.
"Hmm! You're a man of great deeds, I won't stop you!" Gu Xiang'er said with a gentle smile.
"Thank you, Huan'er." Ji Songfeng smiled gratefully and strode out of the small courtyard.
The gate closed softly behind him, and Ji Songfeng's eyes flashed with a cold light as his body disappeared in an instant.
