Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 37: The edge of the ax seduces the soul, just a little bit worse
There were outsiders present, and the conversation was about interesting anecdotes in the sect circle. Xu Yuanchang could not interrupt, and there was no need for him to say more.

Join in the fun while drinking, and be a quiet diner who adds to the atmosphere.

The four male and female scholars did not propose poems and poems to cheer up the gatherings in the past, nor did they perform a few drinking orders or other elegant confrontational programs. They were all friends who had known each other for a long time and did not indulge in those trivial matters.

During the dinner, we were also discussing who the hidden "anonymous" could be?
Yi Yun suddenly laughed and said, "It's dark under the lamp. Do you think it could be Yuan Chang?"

Everyone was stunned, all looking at the dark foodie under the lamp.

Xu Yuanchang was struggling with the tender meat at the corner of a rib, and almost bit his tongue. He quickly put down the bone, picked up the towel on the side and wiped the oily hands and corners of his mouth. Facing the many probing eyes, he said seriously: "Drink more." After a few glasses of wine, whoever dares to say that I didn't write the song 'Water Melody Song', I will fight with him!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

He Shutang slapped the table, raised his lamp and said loudly: "I admire your courage, sir, and respect Mr. Anonymous!"

Everyone raised their lamps and were overjoyed to pay homage to Mr. Anonymous, including the shameless Mr. Xu.

The room was filled with cheerful laughter.

After the banquet was over, it was already past the Xu Shizheng curfew.

A few people didn't care, and walked struttingly on the quiet and deserted street. The night watchman held a torch and came forward to inquire. When he saw a few bright badges of Taoist palaces and academic palaces, he hurriedly saluted and avoided them.

Walking back to "Wen Dao Street" in the north of the city without any obstruction, everyone saluted and said goodbye.

The scholars walked towards the academy.

Several Taoist priests stopped in front of the palace gate and said a few words. Xu Yuanchang refused the good intentions of several people to see them off. He lived not far away. He had an identity card in his hand and was not afraid of the soldiers' interrogation on the road.

After waving goodbye, Xu Yuanchang walked alone in the bright moonlit night, dispelling the smell of alcohol.

When I reached the second corner, something changed suddenly.

A black shadow hiding in the darkness of the tree swooped down, and the pouring cold light and fierce murderous aura struck from the top of the head.

Xu Yuanchang reacted instantly when he heard the sound, tapped his toes, stepped back, and hurriedly swung his left hand.

There was a loud bang, sparks flew, and another cold light passed in front of his forehead, cutting off a few strands of hair and almost knocking him away. Fortunately, he had a keen sense and miraculously got out of the way with his steps.

The flying knife shoots instantly.

"Dang", there was another crash, and the cold light paused for a moment.

The two axes were swung open tightly, like wheels rolling over each other, and the rolling momentum enveloped the whole area.

In three or two breaths, Xu Yuanchang threw out several flying knives with both hands, and all of them smashed into the light curtain of the short-handled thin ax wielded by the masked killer in black.

He dodges left and right, thrillingly, and even though his sword is flying, he still can't close the distance.

The cold blade of the ax cut many holes in his robe.

Every move is fatal, and it will not stop until death.

The opponent's pursuit was too fast. If it weren't for his newly learned Gang Step, which was so magical that every turn and movement caught the opponent by surprise, otherwise he would have been killed by the axe-blade that followed him just by relying on ordinary light-body leaping skills. Thousands of corpses were found lying on the streets.

It's a pity that he has not been able to master the Gangbu skill for the first time.

He had a bottle of talisman water that he had refined in his arms, but he couldn't spare the time to drink it.

The struggle between life and death made him more and more focused, and in an instant he retreated three feet away from this side of the street to the opposite side.

The masked killer's eyes showed a trace of the fierceness of a successful calculation. The two axes forced the Taoist priest who was jumping left and right to the foot of the wall, without giving the Taoist priest a chance to leap over or dodge left and right.

There is a wall blocking the way behind. Run away. Where else can you run?
The two axes staggered to kill.

The cold light that couldn't be penetrated by splashing water unexpectedly shot into the air.

Two cracks appeared on the wall, and debris and dust fell down.

"Wall penetration!"

The masked killer was shocked and then furious. He forgot that there were such impractical spells, which made his plan fail, and he chopped it off with an axe.

"Boom", the wall collapsed into a cave of seven or eight feet, and broken bricks flew like arrows. When he broke in, he happened to see the cunning boy disappear under the nearby wall.

Back through the wall and back into the street.

The masked killer was furious, turned around and emerged from the dust of the hole, and was faced with several rays of sword light. "Catch the robber!"

"The robbers broke into the house."

There was a huge noise, and several men screamed from the other side of the courtyard wall. Before they could turn on the lights to sleep, several people noticed the movement of the wall being demolished and did not dare to show up to check.

With two "dang-dang" sounds, the masked killer charged towards the Taoist priest three feet away with a flying knife. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. There were clearly four swords, but why did they only hit twice?
Suddenly aware of the approaching danger, he twisted his body as hard as he could to avoid a sneak attack on his back. However, his robe was pierced and a bloody wound was made on his back.

The flesh wounds were insignificant. The muscles on the masked killer's back tensed and the blood stopped.

He had been observing for many days and had a feel for the target Taoist priest's cultivation strength. In addition to his extraordinary alertness, his speed was average.

He only wanted to kill with one sneak attack and win the battle quickly. He did not want to waste the amulet water on himself, nor did he expect to become such a entangled situation. The Taoist priest's movement skills were ingenious and cunning. Just a little bit different.

It's just a little bit close. I've fallen short and I can't stop.

Seeing four more flying knives blazing with light, the masked killer swung his ax and continued to charge, smashing two flying knives again.

He twisted his body suddenly, but his left foot was stabbed by a flying knife that he couldn't guard against. Hearing the sharp whistle in the distance, he knew that he couldn't get any advantage from the Taoist priest today, so he turned around and walked towards the deep place where he had stepped a long time ago. Escape towards the alley.

How many flying knives does the slippery Taoist priest have hidden in his body?

Why can’t he use up all his uncle’s money?
"It's too late, stay."

Xu Yuanchang threw out his hands at the same time, and a sword light hovered in front of the killer to interfere. The sword light shot from behind turned into three.

The masked killer swung the ax with both hands, blocking one side from the other, but suddenly he was unable to do so and his speed slowed down.

With two "Puff" sounds, two flying knives stabbed the killer's chest and back respectively, especially the one on the back. The force was so strong that a huge and transparent wound was opened.

"Asshole, use poison..."

"You attacked me secretly, but you still don't allow me to use my knife to quench the poison?"

Xu Yuanchang sneered. He had defeated his opponent. He suddenly turned around and almost shot out with his sword. When he saw Zhang Wang in gray robes appearing on the wall, he hurriedly cupped his fists and saluted.

"That's right. When life and death are at stake, you can't be pedantic. Use all means to survive."

Taoist Zhang Wang actually arrived for a while, but he didn't take any action. Seeing Xu Yuanchang come back from a disadvantage, he was able to use all his magic skills to get a chance to breathe. He drank a bottle of talisman water. He quite recognized it and saved his life. For the first time, it is not a pity to waste external possessions.

The masked killer fell to the ground with a crash, and the two axes clanged loudly.

A flying knife on his back had pierced his heart and cut off his life.

The skin all over the body showed strange blue and white spots.

That is a sign that the poisoning is not deep.

Xu Yuanchang went all out and didn't think about leaving any effort to capture the masked killer alive. The opponent's cultivation level was far better than his. He was only worried about killing the thief and attracting some killing moves that would kill them all.

He would remember his previous encounter in Xiahe Village for the rest of his life and would never repeat it again.

The follow-up investigation of the case was the responsibility of Bai Jisi. He had a rough guess in his heart. Maybe the killer was related to Zhuang Yu, who had not been heard from after escaping?
Even if someone was jealous among the casual cultivators in the city, they would not rush to sneak attack him in the city, but would use other methods.

The night watchmen arrived, and after Zhang Wang showed his token, they suddenly became outsiders cleaning up the battlefield.

Soon, the monks from Baijisi flew over. Zhang Wang briefly explained the matter and asked them to trace the identity of the masked killer. Why did he want to assassinate Xu Yuanchang in the city?
Xu Yuanchang threw a silver cake to the owner of the courtyard wall who was clamoring for compensation to calm down the minor incident of smashing flowers and plants.

Thanks to the courtyard wall, he got a chance to breathe and turned from passive to active to win the final victory.

He never felt that the spells he practiced were useless, and he would always find ways to create good opportunities even if he didn't have a chance.

After saying goodbye to Taoist Zhang Wang, he returned to the nearby guest house.

He changed into a pair of hole-in-the-wall clothes and walked slowly, thinking about the thrilling sneak attack and assassination he encountered.

He decided to go to Xian Yuyuan Shop as soon as possible to order a magic weapon-level flying knife.

How can a weapon that breaks into pieces with one blow have the power to defeat the enemy in one blow?
I always feel that the spiritual coins on hand are not enough.
