Chapter 183: Visiting the Royal Palace at Night, Assassination in the Dark
"What? Visiting the palace at night?"
"Yes. If I don't find out whether my mother has arrived in the capital, I will feel uneasy."
"Okay, I'll go with you." Zhao Zhengxuan said.
"No." Lin Feng shook his head: "Father, although you have been promoted to the realm of Dou Wang, your strength is not yet stable, and the use of mental aura has not yet reached the level of subtle control. It is difficult to hide the aura on your body, and it is too easy to be discovered."
Zhao Zhengxuan frowned slightly: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have advanced to the next level."
Lin Feng laughed and said: "What are you talking about? If you don't advance to the next level, it's still not safe enough to run into the palace with the cultivation level of the Great Fighter Master... Even if you have a mithril heavy armor on you, it won't work. That's a disguise.
If it is too thick and the sound it makes is too loud, then it is not a night visit to the palace, but a night intrusion into the palace."
Zhao Zhengxuan sighed slightly: "But I don't worry if you go alone..."
After a pause, he glanced at Zhao Bingyan and said, "Of course, I would be even more worried if Bingyan follows."
Zhao Bingyan was speechless and lowered his head.
Lin Feng said: "Bingyan, father didn't mean to say anything bad about you."
"I know that my strength will improve in the future."
Lin Feng nodded: "Actually, even if Bingyan's current strength reaches the realm of Dou Wang, even if your realm is stable, father, I won't let you come with me. If you don't believe me, just take a look."
As Lin Feng spoke, he took a breath of energy, jumped up slightly, and jumped more than two meters high. Then he landed lightly, like four taels of cotton falling to the ground, and made no sound.
Zhao Zhengxuan and Zhao Bingyan's eyes suddenly widened: "This is... this is..."
Lin Feng smiled slightly and said: "This is a kind of martial arts called Qing Gong... It can only be achieved by using the special skills I practice. It is difficult to do this with Dou Qi."
Zhao Zhengxuan and Zhao Bingyan nodded slightly and did not ask any more questions.
Then, soon, it got dark.
Lin Feng first went outside the city to bring the flying dragon back to the city. At midnight, he put on his night clothes and quietly sneaked towards the palace.
I saw that the palace in the dark night was still brightly lit. However, there were still shadows everywhere in the corners of the surrounding palace walls.
Lin Feng had read the map before coming and had a general understanding of the topography around the palace. The details were not yet clear, but he could roughly feel the palace.
At this time, he walked along the palace city, preparing to jump in. He found the valet who had been serving the king and asked him to lead the way to the king.
But just when Lin Feng was about to jump over the palace wall, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart, and he saw a huge black shadow flying through the air and falling towards the palace.
"This is……"
Lin Feng's expression changed slightly.
That huge black shadow was clearly a human being wearing a huge cloak. However, this human being could actually "fly"? Moreover, it was still silent, just like an owl, lightly and without even a trace of wind.
"Weird..."
Lin Feng stared at the figure, and with a thought in his mind, he jumped up on the palace wall and followed the figure quietly.
I saw a figure in front of me, darting from left to right, shuttling between black shadows. The speed was so fast that Lin Feng almost couldn't react.
What's even more frightening is that when the shadow moved, it didn't make any unnecessary wind noise. The huge cloak was lifted up and fluttered when he moved at high speed, but it was no more than the subtle sound of ordinary clothes being blown by the wind.
For people in this world, such a small sound would not be noticed at all.
"Who is this?" Lin Feng secretly took a deep breath.
Even Lin Feng couldn't do this kind of effort to lighten one's body.
I'm afraid that even the strongest Dou Zun people in this world can't do it... After all, the essence of Dou Qi is to be explosive, not to be good at such light applications.
Moreover, if a strong person has such physical skills and wants to explore the palace at night, he will not be so coquettish as to wear such a cloak that can easily make wind noise, right?
Lin Feng was secretly puzzled, and followed the figure in a flash.
The strange figure was extremely fast and the angle it ran at was tricky. Several times, Lin Feng was almost accidentally discovered by the soldiers patrolling the palace just to keep an eye on the strange figure.
"Damn it, why is this guy so flexible and weird like a ghost?"
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the figure in front of me flash for a few moments and then disappear.
"Huh?" Lin Feng was startled. He raised his head and looked over there. No matter how hard he concentrated his eyes or even his ears, he found no clues.
I couldn't see where the figure was hiding, couldn't hear the abnormal breathing or heartbeat, and couldn't pinpoint the person's location at all.
Suddenly, Lin Feng's heart began to beat wildly, and he suddenly turned around and saw a man wearing a black cloak standing quietly a few meters behind him.
The man's face was very pale, but his lips were very red. His eyes and the expression on his face looked very decadent.
What shocked Lin Feng even more was that the man was so close to him, and he couldn't hear any breathing or heartbeat of the man.
"Who are you? Why are you following me?" the man asked in a low voice.
Lin Feng did not answer, but asked: "Then who are you? What are you trying to do sneaking around in this palace?"
"Hmph, you are actually asking me? Hey hey hey hey, young man, although you are very strong and very alert, but just because of this, you want to question me? Huh, look at me taking you down, if you don't believe it, you can't force it out
What you say."
As the man spoke, his body swayed, and in an instant, he was in front of Lin Feng, and the five fingers of his right hand were already stabbing Lin Feng's throat with a sharp wind.
"So fast"
Lin Feng was horrified, with cold sweat breaking out all over his body. Instinctively, he turned slightly, and at the same time, a powerful fighting spirit exploded from his body, forcing the man back at once.
However, Lin Feng still felt that the side of his neck was cold and slightly painful. It seemed that the side of his neck had been injured by the wind just now, and his whole body was dripping wet.
With just a snap of his fingers, Lin Feng felt as if he had walked around in front of the gate of hell and had a brush with death.
"With such strength...who could he be?" Lin Feng stared at the man coldly, his thoughts racing.
At this time, the man was only five meters away from Lin Feng. He could attack at any time, but he did not launch another attack. He just stared at Lin Feng in surprise: "Dou Wang? I can smell that the blood on your body is very energetic.
...That is blood that can only be produced by a very young blood marrow. You are definitely less than twenty years old...At such a young age, you have the strength of this realm...Who are you?"
Obviously, the man was also greatly surprised. It seemed that he had misjudged Lin Feng's strength just now.
Lin Feng snorted slightly, but before he could speak a word, he heard noisy voices coming from around him, and a small group of patrols ran over: "Who is it?"
Neither the man nor Lin Feng moved. They looked at each other quietly, secretly on guard.
From a distance of five meters, if the man wanted to attack Lin Feng, it would definitely not take a blink of an eye.
If Lin Feng had struck first, it would have taken no more than a blink of an eye to attack the man. However, now that he didn't know the man's strength, he didn't dare to attack randomly.
In this case, if either of the two is slightly careless, they may be seriously injured, or even die directly at the hands of the other due to their carelessness.
"Young man... It's been a long time. I haven't met a young man as powerful as you for a long time... Moreover, there are many people with your strength, but there are not many people who can bring me a strong feeling of threat.
.Many people who are stronger than you have failed to bring me this sense of danger... The cold blood in my body makes me feel like it's boiling. If it weren't for the wrong time and place, I really want to fight you.
Field, hum..."
As he spoke, the man did not move, but moved slowly and lightly towards the back, staring at Lin Feng on guard while moving back, which was very strange and terrifying.
At this moment, a loud shout came from the side: "Bold, who are you? How dare you break into the palace at night?"
It turned out that a small group of patrols had arrived.
The man in the cloak didn't even look at the patrols. He took advantage of the moment when they made a sound, swayed and stepped back more than ten meters, avoiding Lin Feng's Qi lock, and then left the cloak with his left hand.
He reached out and waved hard.
A sharp whistling sound was heard, and five blood-colored light blades were blasted directly towards the small group of patrols.
In an instant, five bloody blades passed directly through the bodies of the dozen soldiers and struck the rockery in the distance, making a killing sound.
Poof~~~
Waves of blood mist spurted out from the soldiers' bodies. The man in the cloak caught sight of it, subconsciously licked his lips, and then disappeared into the vast night with a sway.
At this time, Lin Feng swayed and retreated into the shadows. He leaned his back tightly against a pillar and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's so scary, such a strong pressure... I've never seen someone give me such a strong sense of pressure without releasing any momentum. Moreover, he looks like he is only in his twenties, why do you call me 'young man'
Woolen cloth?"
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a sharp cry from around me: "Ah, murderer, assassin, assassin, there is an assassin."
For a moment, the whole palace was in chaos. The lights everywhere were brightened and became brighter.
Moreover, large areas of messy footsteps continued to sound and come from various places in the palace.
Then, someone shouted again: "Hurry, escort, escort... Damn it, where are the guards? Where are the guards from the nearby court? Go and protect the king."
Then, a large number of people gathered, followed a certain palace guard, and ran in a certain direction.
Lin Feng frowned when he saw this: "In this case, you actually called for an escort with such a big fanfare. Isn't this deliberately leaking the identity of the king? If there is an assassin, doesn't that make the king more dangerous? Huh, my cheap grandfather actually didn't...
I haven't been killed by these idiots yet, but I'm really lucky... huh? Wait a minute."
A flash of light flashed in Lin Feng's mind: "Could it be that...could it be that these guys didn't have low IQs at all, but deliberately...leaked the location of grandpa on purpose? If the guy who shouted just now was a traitor, then...
Is it possible that there really is an assassin?"
When Lin Feng thought of this, his expression suddenly changed, his body swayed, and he rushed towards the direction where the patrols were running.
Along the way, people were seen rushing around, but at one place, there were more people gathered. If the estimate was correct, it should be the palace of the king of Lin State.
Lin Feng secretly gathered his energy and moved faster, just like a flowing shadow, hundreds of meters passed by in an instant.
At this time, in the king's palace, the old king was lying quietly on the bed, his face pale and breathless.
The wrinkles on his face show that he is no longer young. However, his old appearance is older than his real age, which makes people know that he is ill at the first sight.
At this time, the king opened his eyes slightly, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, but then he became confused again, coughed a few times subconsciously, and sighed slightly in his heart.
Then, he asked softly: "Why is it so noisy outside?"
"Your Majesty, I heard that an assassin has come." A maid standing by the curtain not far from the bed responded.
"Assassin?" The king smiled coldly: "My body is in this state, and there will be assassins to assassinate me? Humph, that's ridiculous."
No one around him dared to speak.
They all know the king's situation very well: although he can still stay awake for a long time due to his previous physical strength, which was at the peak of the great fighting master's level, but now he is almost like a child with no strength at all.
It has little power. And its vitality is dissipated very quickly. It will probably be over in a few days.
This is not something the king is pretending to do. As the person closest to him, the people around him know better than anything about his eating, drinking, and diarrhea.
Therefore, if we really want to deal with the king, why would there be any need for assassins to assassinate him now?
At this moment, the door was pushed open with a bang, and a chamberlain rushed in crawling: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, no, Your Majesty, there is an assassin."
As he spoke, the waiter rushed forward.
"Huh, why are you panicking?" The king hummed softly and said to the maid next to him: "Help me get up."
The maids hurriedly bowed their heads to show respect, and quickly stepped forward to support the king, making him sit up with his back against the head of the bed.
At this time, the footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer, and a large number of royal guards were arriving.
However, at this moment, with a bang, the door of the dormitory was shattered, and a figure with blood-red light all over its body flew over. In an instant, it was less than ten meters in front of the king.
However, at this moment, two white figures suddenly fell from the ceiling, with strong fighting spirit bursting out from their whole bodies. They grabbed the light long swords and blocked the direction of the bloody figures. At the same time, they waved
The sword slashed at the bloody figure.
There was a loud bang, and as soon as they made contact, the two white figures were blown away. One of them broke through the white stone wall on the left and flew out, while the other directly broke through the roof of the dormitory.
, disappeared.
When the king saw this, his expression changed drastically, and he stared at the bloody figure.
"Who are you and why did you assassinate my king?" The king suppressed a surge of anger in his heart.
Those two white figures were not clear to others, but he knew them very well... They were two powerful men at the top of the Great Fighting Masters. He had managed to recruit them because they were loyal enough and
I am willing to protect the king secretly all the time, so I stay here.
However, he was actually blown away by the bloody figure. He was not sure whether he was alive or dead. It was obvious that the strength of this bloody figure was beyond imagination.
The man snorted slightly: "Lin Tao, are you trying to stall for time, waiting for Zou Wen and Zou Wu to come over? But your efforts are in vain, they are already dead."
"Dead?" The king's expression changed suddenly. Zou Wen and Zou Wu were two strong men in the early stages of the King of Fighting. Because they owed the king a favor, they were willing to become Lin Guo's worshipers for ten years. They were the king's most powerful ones.
trump card.
"Yes... Although they are a bit old, the taste of blood is pretty good, so I gave them a decent death... just half an hour ago. Moreover, I also enjoyed a delicious meal. So,
Only then can you live until now. Haha, if I hadn’t met an interesting person on the road, I’m afraid you wouldn’t have noticed me appearing in front of you until your death.”
The pale man in the cloak said, then stretched out his equally pale right hand, revealing five pointed nails, stared at the king, and said: "Okay, it's time to send you on your way... close your eyes.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his right hand, and five bloody blades shot directly at the king. Then there was a loud bang, and violent air waves burst out in all directions, blowing all the surrounding Buhanluo tents into flying, and the hunting action
