Chapter 113 Pegasus Meteor
night.
High walls, grey tiles, and bluestone alleys.
More than a dozen soldiers holding knives at the end of the alley blocked Chen Ji and the spy. 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 that had just been cut was lying there quietly, with a neat cut.
The soldier's expression suddenly changed. He slowly held the blade in front of him and looked at the traces in front of him with vigilance and seriousness.
The strike of the knife that I had just used was intended to kill someone, but it accidentally saved someone. The blade was not a bit more or less, and it did not damage Chen Ji at all.
The moment just now was so fast that others might not have seen it clearly, but he knew very well where he was going to chop.
coincidence?
impossible.
The blade in front of him slowly turned towards Chen Ji, and he whispered to his colleagues, "There is a master."
After that, he added: "The person who kidnapped him is probably even more powerful!"
The soldiers slowly surrounded them.
In the narrow alley, the spy tried to break out several times but failed. Moreover, he suddenly felt that these elephant armor guards seemed to be targeting him intentionally, and they attacked with all their strength and were extremely ferocious every time.
The Elephant Armor Guards approached step by step, like a pressing mountain, shrinking the space for the spy and Chen Ji to move around. After only a few rounds of probing, the spy's left arm and chest were stabbed, and blood was dripping.
The soldiers looked at each other and felt that this man was not as powerful as they had imagined!
Weird!
kill!
The next moment, the soldiers swung their swords again. Chen Ji dodged the swords and asked in a low voice, "Where is the whistle of the Secret Service? Call colleagues to come for support..."
Without even a knife in his hand, Chen Ji felt that the fight was awkward everywhere.
Previously, he had been delaying time and was reluctant to approach the Mudan Bridge, fearing that he would be affected by the fight between the Liu family and the Secret Service. Unexpectedly, the Liu family was determined to kill Jin Zhu and secretly brought so many elite troops.
There are more than ten in just one alley. How many are there in the entire neighborhood?
Now is not the time to think about these things, we must escape first!
Chen Ji continued: "Hey, your..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly froze.
The spy pulled at his clothes and used his body as a shield, trying to rush out.
The soldiers were about to pounce, but suddenly stopped slowly.
But Chen Ji suddenly grasped the back of the spy's long knife, and shook his hand lightly, and the spy involuntarily let go of his hand. The strange vibration transmitted from the knife was like an electric shock.
Before the spy could react, the soldiers saw Chen Ji suddenly turn around, holding the back of the knife with his right hand, and stabbed the tip of the knife diagonally into the spy's lung.
The spy looked at Chen Ji in disbelief, and could only make a gasp sound.
In the dim alley, Chen Ji pushed the spy's chest with his left hand and slowly pulled the knife out of the spy's lung.
In silence, he looked at the soldiers for a moment and said, "Did Lord Liu ask you to rescue me? Take me away."
The soldiers saw that he was calm and did not seem to be faking it.
Just as the other soldiers were about to put away their swords, an elephant armor guard suddenly said, "Lord Liu never explained this matter. Capture him! Tie him up first!"
Suddenly, there was a fire in the distance.
A blazing fire illuminated the entire neighborhood, as if someone had smeared scarlet paint on a black canvas, making it look both dilapidated and brilliant.
The flames passed over the white walls and gray tiles, and the shadows of people in the alley swayed continuously. Everyone felt the heat wave sweeping over.
Breathe.
Chen Ji swung his sword like an inverted galaxy, and light flowed on the shiny sword, as if the sword was burning and engulfed in fire.
The Elephant Armor Guard, who was the first to be hit, raised his knife to block, but Chen Ji's knife was too fast, and before he could raise his hand, the knife had already hit his shoulder.
The sound of leather being cut 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 stepped back. He looked at the blade and then at the opponent's leather armor.
The knife in his hand is very different from the one on Qingshan.
The spy who had fallen to the ground early coughed up blood foam and looked at the scene in despair, his eyes full of reluctance. He wanted to tell Jin Zhu that there was indeed something wrong with this person. But he had no chance.
The Elephant Armor Guard turned his head to look at the wound and said expressionlessly: "He who can split the elephant armor is an officer, but his cultivation level is not very high. Form a formation and kill him on the spot."
In the flickering 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 their life.
The raging fire was getting closer and closer, and in the winter, the flames turned into a sea of fire in Los Angeles.
The heat wave surged in the alley, and the hair was burnt and curled in the scorching air.
Chen Ji did not retreat but advanced. The moment the two sides came into contact, the Elephant Armor Guards relied on the toughness of their leather armor and attacked with great force, leaving no room for maneuver.
But Chen Ji no longer fought hard. He saw the blade cutting through the gap in the leather armor at a strange angle, like an antelope hanging its horns, vaguely and without a trace.
With a hissing sound, the tip of the knife passed by with a trace of blood, and the blood splattered on the white wall.
The soldiers were frightened by the knife and retreated one after another.
The man who was cut lifted up his leather armor to check the wound, and was shocked to find that his armpit had been cut open and blood was gushing out.
Rupture of the aorta.
It didn't feel fatal at first, but after three breaths, the soldier felt that all his strength was draining away like a flood.
This blow shattered the confidence that the leather armor gave the soldiers, and the elephant armor that they relied on for bravery could no longer block the blow!
Both of them are veterans of the battle, so they naturally know the level of this sword.
They looked at Chen Ji silently and felt that the level of the official in front of them would not be too high, but his swordsmanship was more important than the level.
One of them shouted fiercely: "Kill!"
"kill!"
The soldiers rushed forward again.
The alley was narrow, and at most four elephant armor guards besieged Chen Ji at a time. If one of them died, the living one would take his place.
One after another, the Elephant Armor Guards fell, and one after another, they joined the battle formation, until one moment, everyone suddenly realized that there was no one behind them to fill the gap.
Chen Ji moved around in the alley like a millstone, crushing all the soldiers in the alley.
I don't know how long it took, Chen Ji was covered in blood, and the blood splattered on the white walls in the alley, like a landscape painting with thousands of mountains covered in red. There was only one soldier left in the alley. Chen Ji took a step forward, and the soldier took a step back.
The soldier turned around and ran wildly, but after only two steps, he saw Chen Ji throwing the long sword in his hand with all his strength. The tip of the sword crossed a distance of several meters and pierced the soldier's neck.
In the firelight, Chen Ji supported himself against the wall with his hands, bent over and gasped violently.
"Hiss!" He withdrew his hand. In this purgatory on earth, the blood was boiling hot, the air was boiling hot, and even the walls were boiling hot.
Chen Ji stood up and looked blankly at the end of the alley. For some reason, he retched a few times and then forced himself to stand up.
He thought for a moment, threw the corpses into the sea of fire, turned around, put on leather armor, and fled.
……
……
The neighborhood and the sea of fire were filled with corpses, and everywhere one could see elephant-armored guards patrolling back and forth, hunting down and killing the remaining spies.
Chen Ji was wearing leather armor and running wildly towards the bank of Luo River with his head down. In this round tonight, he had to see with his own eyes that the golden pig was dead.
Passing through layers of alleys, the sound of flowing water became closer and closer.
When he walked out of the maze-like alley, he felt that the world suddenly became clear and even the air was fresh.
Chen Ji held onto the wooden railing beside the river bank, breathing greedily while turning his head to look towards the Mudan Bridge in the distance.
The hazy morning light and the firelight were intertwined, and I just saw that in the midst of a desperate fight, the Golden Pig actually summoned up his last bit of strength to grab the collars of Xifeng and Liu Tiao, and threw them both out, flying over the crowd and falling into the freezing cold water of the Luo River.
With two splashes, Xifeng struggled in the water for a moment and poked his head out, saying heartbreakingly, "My lord!"
The Golden Pig shouted angrily on the bridge: "Get out!"
After saying that, he stopped struggling and slowly stood still.
Liu Mingxian, wearing a black fox fur coat, placed the copper hand warmer on the carriage and clapped his hands softly: "I didn't expect that the unscrupulous Twelve Zodiac Signs of the Secret Service would actually sacrifice themselves to save others."
The Golden Pig sneered, "I am sending them to report to the Minister of Internal Affairs. After the Minister asks His Majesty for instructions, he will immediately dispatch His Majesty's troops to kill your entire Liu family!"
Liu Mingxian shook his head. "The man at Renshou Palace won't care about this kind of nonsense. He will just sit cross-legged on his white crane couch and practice Taoism, waiting for the people below to fight to the death before coming out to mediate. Only if you and I kill each other ruthlessly can he sit firmly. Over the years, my Liu family has been eroded little by little like this. I understand it better than you."
The Golden Pig was silent.
After a moment, he simply sat down on the ground like a rolling knife: "Don't bother, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, there is nothing to say."
Liu Mingxian asked with great interest: "Master Jinzhu, are you interested in working for my Liu family? You just need to write a letter accusing the Prime Minister and the court, and my Liu family will spare your life."
Jin Zhu cursed loudly: "You mother's dog fart, you want me to scold the internal minister? Who do you think you are! Is there no one left in the Liu family? Why would they let you, an uneducated second-generation ancestor, be the head of the family? Where is your father? Let him come over and give me a leg massage!"
Liu Mingxian sneered: "Eunuch party lackey, kill him."
Shopkeeper Yuan said calmly, "Pickle it with lime and I will send it back to Jing Dynasty. Jin Zhu has killed many people in Jing Dynasty over the years. I'm sure the military strategist will like his head very much."
On the river bank, Chen Ji was too far away to see clearly, and he couldn't hear what Jin Zhu and Liu Mingxian were talking about.
He just watched from afar as Zhang Guoer went to kill the golden pig. The golden pig suddenly attacked despite being seriously injured. After breaking one of Zhang Guoer's legs, it fell to the ground again.
When another tattooed man approached the golden pig, the golden pig unexpectedly attacked again, making the other man spit out blood and fall onto the bridge again.
Until the third time, the Golden Pig tried to use the same trick again, but because he was a beat too slow, he was finally kicked to the ground.
This time, he was really exhausted.
Liu Mingxian was so angry that he laughed: "I've heard that the Golden Pig in the Chinese Zodiac never speaks the truth. Today I've seen it for myself."
The Golden Pig ignored him, closed his eyes, walked across the bridge, and said nothing.
His fingers trembled slightly. Even the most arrogant person could not remain calm in the face of death.
However, at this moment, Chen Ji suddenly looked through the arch of the bridge and saw a black-sailed boat slowly approaching from the other side of the bridge. A young man in white clothes stood on the bow, with nothing in his hands, but he suddenly made a gesture of drawing a bow!
In an instant, a white bow appeared in the air, flashing with bright starlight.
With a bang, the bowstring vibrated.
A meteor flew out of his hand, dragging a long comet tail, and headed straight for Zhang Guoer who had just stood up on the bridge!
In the morning light and the firelight, the meteor drew a tiny parabola in the distance. In the blink of an eye, a breath, or a blink of an eye, the meteor seemed to have eyes and passed straight through Zhang Guoer's heart!
puff!
Zhang Guoer suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!
He looked down at the hole in his chest and murmured, "Your mother...Tianma!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Pegasus standing on the bow drew his bowstring to its full potential, and meteors came with comet tails.
Before the white-clothed Pegasus arrived, arrows had already pierced through the elephant-armored guards on the bridge one by one. One arrow pierced through four people, but the arrow still kept going!
When the Golden Pig heard the word "Pegasus", he opened his eyes excitedly.
He sat up suddenly, looked over the fence at the river in the distance, and laughed wildly: "Here comes the Pegasus, here comes the Pegasus! All of you must die!"
As he was speaking, a meteor flew over the golden pig's head. This arrow did not hit anyone, but was just meant to greet the golden pig in this special way.
The next meteor pierced through Shopkeeper Yuan's thigh. If Shopkeeper Yuan had not dodged in advance, the arrow would probably have pierced his heart.
But Tianma did not give up. He drew the bowstring again. With a bang, a meteor rushed towards Manager Yuan's heart at an extremely fast speed!
Jin Zhu suddenly shouted, "Wait, don't kill him! I want Meng Ji to interrogate him!"
In an instant, the shooting star slightly changed direction in the air and flew past Manager Yuan's cheek, causing his hair to shake violently, just like a Pegasus whizzing past him!
Shopkeeper Yuan looked at Liu Mingxian with a gloomy expression, turned around, limped into the Luo River, and swam in the opposite direction of Tianma.
The Golden Pig said urgently, "Xifeng, Liu Tiao! Follow him!"
But just as he finished speaking, screams of Xifeng and Liujo were heard from under the bridge.
The Golden Pig stood up, cursing, and ran to the stone railing to look down: "You two are useless and always make trouble. Are you dead or not? If you are not dead, make a sound!"
"not dead!"
The golden pig held onto the railing, narrowed its eyes, and stared fiercely at Shopkeeper Yuan as he swam further and further upstream.
But at this moment, he suddenly exclaimed: "Wait, who is that?"
As far as the eye could see, there was a young man on the bank of Luo River who took off his leather armor, dived into the water and disappeared.
Jin Zhu's eyes widened: "Looking at his figure, why does he look a bit like Chen Ji?!"
