The sound was so soft that you wouldn't be able to hear it if you weren't concentrating. In addition, the shouting outside the room was very noisy at the moment, making it even harder to hear clearly. But the assassin holding the two swords could hear it clearly.

The sound was like someone stepping on the snow, or someone breaking a piece of wood in the silence of the night.

Although the two swords in his hands had reversed direction, they never struck.

The light in the room was dim, and Pei Yue, who was lying on the bed, looked up at him, his eyes indifferent and a little mocking.

The assassin suddenly lowered his head and eyebrows, looking at his chest.

A long sword was thrust out from his chest, and blood was dripping from the tip of the sword.

Pei Yue sat up calmly and said calmly: "This sword is very beautiful."

A calm voice sounded behind the assassin: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for the compliment."

Immediately afterwards, the owner of the voice walked from behind the assassin to the front. He looked at the blood pouring out of the assassin's mouth, wiped the sword on the opponent's body, then raised his hand and pushed gently, and the assassin's tall body fell to the ground.

He has an ordinary appearance and rarely attracts the attention of others. He is Qian Bing, the head of the Taishitai Pavilion's exchange department whose identity is extremely secretive.

Pei Yue did not look at the assassin on the ground again. Instead, he looked up at the big hole in the roof and asked slowly: "Is everything arranged over there?"

Qian Bing said respectfully: "Yes."

Pei Yue nodded, then took out the steel knife on the table, turned and walked towards the door. At the same time, Qian Bing's figure disappeared into the darkness again.

When he opened the door, he saw the tall and straight figures of the soldiers.

"hehe."

Pei Yue looked beyond his own soldiers and looked at the master of the seven assassins outside, sneering expressionlessly.

The moment he saw him appear, the leader of the assassins' face darkened, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart. From the time when the companion jumped directly into the house to when Pei Yue suddenly appeared, there was a very short interval of time. They were about to take advantage of the situation to break through these

The soldiers defended themselves, but before they could complete their goal, the assassination inside the house ended.

Pei Yue stood there intact, which naturally meant that there was no suspense about the battle situation inside.

"Withdraw!" This person shouted angrily in a low voice without any hesitation, extremely decisively.

"Want to leave?" Pei Yue twitched the corner of his mouth and said two words from between his teeth.

The soldiers understood and moved out of the way, and then saw Pei Yue rushing forward.

Although many people know that Pei Yue's martial arts skills are not weak, very few people have seen him take action with their own eyes, so it is difficult to have a clear understanding of his strength, let alone what his style is. In fact,

Even Pei Yue himself didn't know, and he had secretly thought about it in the past, if there were martial arts schools in this world, which one he belonged to.

Mr. Xi laid an extremely solid foundation for him and taught him sharp sword skills and elegant body skills. In addition, Ye Qi's subtle influence on him during countless practice sessions, and Gu Liang and Gu Fan's unreserved teachings to him

, various styles gradually converged into a trait that no one had ever seen before.

In a word, Pei Yue's martial arts is the real killing technique.

When he rushed into the midst of these master assassins, they immediately felt the overwhelming momentum of a mountain.

The moonlight is like water, and the steel knife is flying.

The steps under Pei Yue's feet were unpredictable. One moment he was still in the northeast, and the next moment he was in front of another person like a ghost. He could only hear the sounds of swords clashing like dense raindrops, and the powerful force penetrated the blade.

When it reached the hands of every assassin, the weapons in their hands shook violently uncontrollably.

After nearly a full year of training on the battlefield in the Western Territory, Pei Yue's sword skills have reached a state of perfect ease, without any unnecessary movements. The pressure on these assassins has increased. More than a dozen soldiers did not rush forward.

Instead of stepping forward to help out, they spread out in the court to form a peripheral encirclement to prevent any fish that slipped through the net from finding an opportunity to escape.

They have followed Pei Yue for so long and have unreserved trust in his strength.

After a while, Pei Yue put away his sword and stood in awe.

All seven assassins fell to the ground.

It's not that he didn't want to stay alive, but after these people knew that they couldn't leave, especially when they realized that the gap between themselves and Pei Yue was too big, even if they had a numerical advantage, they were no match for this young powerful man, so they all chose to die together.

Although Pei Yue was not hurt in the end, this decisive momentum still made Pei Yue frown.

Pei Yue quickly calmed down and said calmly: "Let's go."

The soldiers responded in unison: "Yes!"

He walked ahead with the steel knife that was dripping blood, and soon arrived outside the hospital. The scene in front of him made him slightly surprised.

According to previous predictions, Donglin Wenhui will obviously have many dangers, so the soldiers he brought are all carefully selected masters, and they are all veterans who followed him on the bloody battlefield in Lingzhou. They are both strong and loyal.

There was no problem. Therefore, he had made arrangements for Feng Yi early on, asking him to lead most of his soldiers to stop the assassins who might appear in the first place.

With their strength and Pei Yue's specially improved small mandarin duck formation suitable for masters, they were able to block enemies several times their size.

However--

A strange master swung his sword forward and cut a scar on the last assassin's neck.

As the man fell to the ground dead, none of the assassins survived.

But when Pei Yue saw more than a dozen Xu family guards in the field, he immediately understood.

The appearance of the Xu family's guards was obviously unexpected, but after looking around, Pei Yue did not see Xu Churong's figure.

Feng Yi stepped forward and bowed: "Master, the first group of assassins have been killed. Just now something happened suddenly, I was about to go in to report Miss Xu's visit, and then these assassins suddenly came out, and Miss Xu asked them to come forward to help.

So we were able to kill these people successfully."

Pei Yue nodded and said, "What are the casualties?"

Feng Yi glanced at the leader of the Xu family's guard who was walking over, and said in a low voice: "Four of Miss Xu's guards are injured, two of us are heroic, and twelve of us are injured."

Pei Yue said in a deep voice: "The injured went in for treatment, and the heroic brothers were also carried in."

Feng Yi took the order and left.

Pei Yue turned to look at the Xu family guard leader who was approaching, and said gently: "Thank you very much."

The leader was in his thirties, and he was usually a well-rounded person. However, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment, because he knew that there must have been a fierce fighting inside, and Pei Yue's evil reputation was already well known, so he said respectfully:

"You're welcome, Marquis Pei. This is my lady's order."

Pei Yue nodded and said: "I will thank Miss Xu in person someday. The situation is still unclear at the moment, so please go back immediately to protect your young lady. I will definitely keep this kind of help in my heart."

The leader cupped his hands and said, "Please take care of yourself, Marquis Pei. Our efforts are insignificant."

This person is quite clever. Now that Pei Yue has given him a step up, they will certainly not stay and work for their lives. In fact, if Xu Churong had not been resolute, they would have been unwilling to pay attention to the things in front of them.

After a group of people left, Pei Yue still stood where he was, with his soldiers arrayed beside him.

The night fell silent, and everything seemed to be calm.

Suddenly there was the sound of breaking wind.

Pei Yue's expression changed slightly, he raised the steel knife in his hand and said sternly: "Go back!"

More than a hundred steps away in front of the courtyard, hundreds of people appeared from behind the bushes. Everyone was constantly raising their bows and arrows. The only target in their sight was Pei Yue, who was outside the courtyard gate.

The strings sounded.

In an instant, it was as if a dark cloud covered the stars and the moon, and the sky fell into darkness.
