Chapter 237 The Merman
"I'm going to kill him."
Lin Chuan stretched out his hand to stop Murong Longyue who was about to try. He withdrew the murderous look in his eyes and teased: "Are you sure you can kill him?"
Murong Longyue looked slightly embarrassed, recalling the scene where the tall and strong man killed his fellow assassin with a giant sword, and suddenly felt shuddering.
This tall and strong assassin's cultivation level is at the top level of Xuanling. He has a wide range of skills and can swing his sword extremely fast. Murong Longyue is good at speed. If he cooperates with Miasma, he can take him down.
There was no restriction from the miasma at the moment, so Murong Longyue had very little chance of winning in a fight with him using physical skills alone. What's more, the opponent was still an assassin, and his awareness of danger was much higher than that of ordinary people.
"Just stay in the carriage and I'll follow you and have a look. If they come back from shopping, you can go on your way first. When I finish here, I will catch up with you." Lin Chuan said, taking out his curtain hat and putting it on his head.
"Wait a minute, this is for you." Yu Xiaoyao said and threw the broom to Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan subconsciously took it with his right hand, which was wrapped with a bandage and was quite resistant to this evil object.
The fat merchant felt a flash in front of his eyes, as if something was passing by. He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look, but did not notice anything strange.
…
On the official road outside the town, the crowds gradually thinned out.
Lin Chuan kept a good distance from the tall assassin. With that broom, he didn't have to worry about losing him, let alone being discovered by him.
The tall and muscular assassin was wearing an earth-colored coarse cloth short shirt, and the four people behind him were also dressed in the same way. On the surface, they looked like ordinary people, but if you pay attention to a few people, you would find clues.
The steps of these people were vigorous, one step was better than two steps for ordinary people, and there was always murderous intent in their eyes.
Lin Chuan was about to kill the tall assassin, but found that the five people suddenly left the official road and walked along a rocky path. Both sides of the road were covered with withered grass as tall as a person, and the withered yellow weeds moved in the wind.
Lin Chuan followed into the path and found that several people looked left and right from time to time while walking, but they seemed a bit sneaky. Especially the tall and strong assassin in the lead was the most cautious, turning his head repeatedly to look behind him.
The path became more and more rugged and winding. Lin Chuan followed but found that there was no movement in front of him. There was no trace of the five people. It was really difficult to find the location of the five people.
Lin Chuan stopped and hid behind a dead tree, looking at the slightly trembling broom in his hand. The direction the broom was pointing kept changing, thinking that the five people were still moving quickly.
Lin Chuan immediately walked deeper. When he passed by the place where the five people disappeared, he couldn't help but be surprised. The arrangement of several trees here was quite regular, which must have been caused by man.
Blind trick! Who would set up a blind trick here? Lin Chuan couldn't contain his excitement. These five people must have an ulterior secret when they come here.
Half an hour later, the broom stopped spinning, and Lin Chuan fixedly looked at the direction the broom was pointing.
There is a family in this barren mountain. The house is low, and the fence wall of the courtyard is covered with fruit vines. Through the withered yellow vines, you can see the scene in the courtyard.
The woman, no more than twenty years old, with a graceful figure, was drying her clothes and humming a ditty.
There was a hint of roughness in the man's voice in his soft and smooth voice. Lin Chuan took a closer look and saw that there was another man in the courtyard.
The man was lying on the rocking chair, squinting his eyes and humming the same tune as the woman.
Could it be that those five people came after this person? Lin Chuan wondered in his mind, searching around the house with his eyes.
After half a stick of incense, Lin Chuan discovered a person. The man was hanging upside down on the tree, and his body was covered with dead leaves. If he hadn't swayed in the wind like other branches, Lin Chuan might not have been able to find this person.
Well, I told you why these guys wear these clothes. They are used to cover up their figures! Lin Chuan sighed inwardly.
Lin Chuan followed this thought and observed again, and soon found the location of the other four people. These five people were hiding around the house in an encirclement.
"Xiang Lin, how long have we been here?" The man on the rocking chair had a hearty and high-pitched voice.
"It's been nearly three years. If Mr. Shen feels depressed, don't worry about Xiang Lin. You can go out and play for a few days."
The girl named Xiang Lin looked at her Mr. Shen with a wooden basin in her hands, her beautiful face full of pity.
"What nonsense are you talking about! I, Shen Huaizhen, like this pastoral home the most, why should I hold back on talking about it! What's more, having the company of a beautiful woman is something I never want to be here all my life!" Shen Huaizhen said, sitting up and glaring at the woman. .
The love in Shen Huaizhen's eyes was beyond words, but Xianglin was not angry and shy like ordinary children, she just looked at each other lovingly.
"Mr. Shen saved Xiang Lin in a critical moment. Xiang Lin will never be able to repay his life-saving grace in his lifetime..."
"Didn't you promise me with your body? Remember not to say this again in the future. There is nothing between husband and wife that cannot be repaid!" Shen Huaizhen said as he stood up and hugged the woman into his arms.
Xiang Lin suddenly started sobbing. Shen Huai's face was panicked and he said nervously: "Xiang Lin, what's the matter?"
"Mr. Shen, I've been having nightmares lately. I dream that my enemies are coming to my door, and you and I are both dying in a pool of blood... It's all me who has caused you..." Xiang Lin swallowed more.
"It's just a dream, don't believe it. Aren't we living a good life? Don't worry about it in vain! If it continues like this, I will get angry!" Shen Huaizhen patted Xiang Lin's back gently.
Xiang Lin wiped her tears and said with a cry: "I didn't mean to make Shen Lang angry. Maybe I have lived a comfortable life for too long. The more comfortable I am, the more scared I feel. After all, the person you killed was the Prime Minister of the North." My son..."
Shen Huaizhen snorted coldly and said angrily: "I don't care what kind of son he is, as long as he dares to bully you, I will kill him even if he is the prince!"
Lin Chuan, who was hiding in the distance and eavesdropping, couldn't help but curl his lips, thinking that this man was bloody and would be fearless for the sake of beauty.
The son of the Northern Prime Minister, the Northern Prime Minister should be talking about Fuxuan. In Lin Chuan's eyes, Fuxuan was an elegant old master who spoke benevolently, righteously and ethically, but his son had never heard of it.
If Fuxuan's son insulted the wife of a man named Shen for no reason, he deserved to be killed.
It turned out that the financial backer behind Ling Dong was actually the old guy. Lin Chuan was just about to decide whether to save the two of them when suddenly a blue light flashed into the house.
Shen Huaizhen's reaction was half a beat too slow, and he turned around violently while holding Xiang Lin. The blue arrow scratched his shoulder, and a blood streak appeared in it.
Xiang Lin happened to see the arrow stuck on the ground, and immediately exclaimed: "Ah! The arrow is poisonous! Shen Lang..."
After hearing this, Shen Huaizhen quickly excreted the dirty blood on his shoulder, but it was too late. Only a small part was excreted, and he felt dizzy.
Xiang Lin suddenly felt the weight on his body. When he saw Shen Huai's blurred eyes, his beauty immediately turned pale and he called out: "Mr. Shen, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Xiang Lin! Shen Lang! Wake up, Shen." Lang! "
Shen Huaizhen only felt that the strength in his body was disappearing, and his vision was a little blurry. The Qiankun ring on his right hand flashed faintly, and a long sword appeared in his palm.
But as soon as he took it, it seemed to be hot to the touch, and the sword fell to the ground, and Shen Huaizhen looked like he was dying.
The five Winter Assassins appeared, jumped into the courtyard, and displayed their respective weapons.
The tall, muscular man in the lead trembled with facial hair, and walked toward the couple with a grin.
"Shen Huaizhen! I have caught you! Shen Huaizhen, do you know how hard it was for me to find you! You are so happy, hanging out with this mermaid girl all day long! Now you are making our brothers happy too! "
After the tall and strong assassin said this, the other four people also had a lustful look on their faces and approached the two of them.
Xiang Lin supported Shen Huaizhen and couldn't help but retreat. He kept begging for mercy and had fear on his face.
"Zhu Chu...it turns out to be you, a despicable villain..." After Shen Huaizhen recognized the person, he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't exert any strength.
Zhu Chu smashed the giant sword to the ground and shouted coldly: "I'm despicable? How can you have the nerve to say I'm despicable! If it weren't for you, I would have been promoted to the enshrinement! You almost killed me for this little bitch, I really want to smash your elm head into pieces with one sword!"
"Come on... my head is right here..." Shen Huaizhen's eyes were bloodshot and he stared at Zhu Chu.
"Do you think I don't dare? That would be too easy for you, kid! When the brothers are done having fun with this little bitch in front of you, I will send you to the west! Hahahahaha..." Zhu Chu looked up to the sky and smiled.
"You...uh!" Before Shen Huaizhen could say a word, he was kicked three feet away by someone.
Xiang Ling was also knocked down. Just as he was about to stand up, his hands were held down by two assassins. The other two assassins had already begun to take off their clothes.
When Shen Huaizhen saw this, he spat out a mouthful of blood, but his eyes regained some clarity. He turned over and staggered towards the people.
Zhu Chu snorted coldly when he saw this, raised his giant sword and swept it towards Shen Huaizhen's chest. Although he did not use all his strength this time, if he was hit, Shen Huaizhen would inevitably break several bones.
Seeing Shen Huaizhen's fearless appearance, Zhu Chu couldn't hold back his power, so he had to take half a step back. He really didn't dare to kill Shen Huaizhen, because what Jin wanted was a living person!
Why are they always being kept alive lately!? Zhu Chu was upset and suddenly felt that his sword was empty. When he looked at Shen Huaizhen, he was already two feet away from him.
When Zhu Chu was wondering, an extra person appeared beside Shen Huaizhen. This person was wearing a black silk robe and a curtain hat.
Lin Chuan still couldn't help but take action. He couldn't just watch the evil people do evil, so he put the curtain hat into the Qiankun Ring in order to let these criminals die in peace.
The blue-grey ginseng knife was trembling slightly. I don't know if it was caused by Lin Chuan's excitement or because the ginseng knife was bloodthirsty.
Feeling the coercion emanating from Lin Chuan's body, Zhu Chu and the four assassins were dumbfounded, and they were all shocked and speechless.
"Load the crossbow!" Zhu Chu was the first to react, jumped back and shouted loudly.
After all, the four of them were veteran assassins who had been killed for a long time. In an instant, five blue lights shot out.
The corners of Lin Chuan's mouth raised, not wanting to hide or dodge. When the arrow approached, a layer of glass-like barrier suddenly appeared around Lin Chuan. The arrows struck it and made a tinkling sound, and then slid down one after another.
Chapter completed!
