Chapter 204 Sleepless Night(1/2)
Windy City.
Ziboju branch.
Lu Yuan held a long sword and chased into Li Wuji's room like lightning, but the black shadow's movements were not slow either. In the blink of an eye, he had rushed to Li Wuji's bed, and the short knife in his hand had stabbed the still unconscious figure without any hesitation.
Away from Wuji throat!
Lu Yuan was already too late!
The killer's face was covered, and his exposed eyes showed a hint of joy unconsciously! He knew that he was about to succeed!
But at this moment, he suddenly found that Li Wuji, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at him!
There seems to be a hint of smile in his eyes!
The killer couldn't help but trembled all over, and the movements of his hands were half a minute slower!
At this moment of hesitation, Lu Yuan finally arrived and pierced the killer's back with a sword!
"Well..."
The killer groaned and spurted out a mouthful of blood, dyeing the black veil covering his face blood red!
His short knife was less than an inch away from Wuji's throat! But he could no longer move forward!
Li Wuji looked at the killer who was gradually dying, with a strange smile on his lips.
However, just when Lu Yuan thought the crisis was finally over, several short arrows glowing with green light suddenly roared out of the window and shot directly at Li Wuji on the bed!
The killer has a backup plan!
Lu Yuan kicked away the killer who had died under his sword. He wanted to step forward to block, but it was too late!
At this critical moment, Li Wuji, who was lying on the bed, suddenly swung out his palm. The strong wind from his palm directly knocked away several sharp arrows that were whizzing towards him! They were nailed to the window frame in reverse!
The arrows are poisonous!
Li Wuji had already turned over and sat up, looking coldly at the corpse of the killer lying on the ground with a cold face.
At the same time, there was a sudden sound of metal and iron ringing outside the window, but it soon became quiet!
After Lu Yuan confirmed that Li Wuji was fine, he jumped out of the window!
On the eaves opposite the Ziboju branch, several killers also dressed in black and masked had their necks wiped off with a sword. Only the last one was left kneeling stiffly on the eaves, looking at the man standing in front of him in horror.
A woman in green!
Xuanmen Saint, Su Wanqing!
It turned out that there was more than one killer, but all the killers lurking outside had been eliminated by Su Wanqing, and one person was left alive.
After Lu Yuan saw Su Wanqing, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, jumped up to the eaves, and checked the lives of the other killers.
Su Wanqing glanced at Lu Yuan, pursed her lips and showed a relaxed smile.
At this time, the door of the Ziboju branch slowly opened, and Li Wuji stepped out with his hands behind his back. He stood on the steps and looked at Su Wanqing who suddenly appeared on the eaves opposite, with no emotion on his face.
Then, Su Wanqing picked up the killer, jumped off the eaves, came to Li Wuji, and forced the remaining killer to kneel in front of Li Wuji.
Lu Yuan also swept down and came closer.
"Thanks a lot."
Li Wuji looked at Su Wanqing and said slowly, with a faint smile on his lips.
"It's just a bunch of clowns, it's just a joke."
Su Wanqing said with a smile, looking nonchalant.
"Sir, we have confirmed that there is no one else hiding nearby."
"My subordinates failed to protect me well. Please punish me, Master!"
Lu Yuan bowed his hands and said with remorse on his face.
"Since nothing serious happened, why should we punish him?"
Li Wuji waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Young Master Lu, you are still a ninth-grade swordsman. Are you too careless this time?"
"The enemies are coming to our door and we don't even know it."
Su Wanqing looked at Lu Yuan and said jokingly.
"Thank you, Miss Su, for your help!"
Lu Yuan hugged Su Wanqing's fists seriously and said in a deep voice.
"It's just a joke, don't mind it, Mr. Lu."
"Although you didn't notice it, with His Highness's cultivation level, you should have noticed the killer's appearance already, right?"
"Besides, I'm afraid you already know that I'm nearby, right?"
Su Wanqing looked at Li Wuji with a smile and asked slowly.
Li Wuji smiled and said nothing, looking down at the frightened killer, his eyes instantly turned cold.
"Who sent you?!"
Su Wanqing stopped asking, held a sword in one hand and put it on the killer's neck, and asked coldly.
The killer lowered his head and said nothing, as if he had no intention of speaking.
"You have been following me since you left the capital, right?"
Li Wuji looked at the killer and asked lightly.
Hearing Li Wuji's words, the killer was obviously stunned for a moment and lowered his head, but his reaction had already given him the answer.
"Are they from Lingyao Sword Sect again?!"
Su Wanqing was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.
Lu Yuan on the side was also surprised, because he didn't find anyone secretly following him along the way, and he couldn't help but blame himself even more.
Moreover, he originally thought that the other party was sent by Meng Jie!
"No, it's another old friend."
Li Wuji shook his head and said calmly.
"who?"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"If my guess is correct, he should be from Qilin Mountain."
Li Wuji smiled and said casually.
Hearing Li Wuji's words, the killer who was kneeling on the ground couldn't help but trembled. He raised his head and glanced at Li Wuji. Suddenly, he swung his neck and faced Su Wanqing's sword blade!
Before Su Wanqing could react, the killer had already decisively cut her own neck!
Such a decisive determination to die is really shocking!
Seeing the killer fall straight to the ground, Su Wanqing looked solemn, and like Lu Yuan just now, she began to blame herself.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I didn't know this person was so decisive..."
Su Wanqing looked up at Li Wuji and said with a grimace.
"It doesn't matter. Now that I know his identity, whether he is dead or alive is no longer important to me."
Li Wuji waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"Is he really from Qilin Mountain?"
Su Wanqing asked in surprise.
If he comes from Qilin Mountain, then the identity of the killer is no longer a secret. There is only one place in Qilin Mountain that can cultivate such killers, and the person behind the scenes is even called an old friend by Li Wuji.
Then there is only one possibility, the killer is a person with Three Talents View!
The mastermind behind the scenes is undoubtedly the Qilin Heavenly Master!
"You can take off his night clothes and have a look."
As Li Wuji spoke, he turned around and walked towards the building, having completely lost interest in the killer's origins.
Su Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then followed Li Wuji's instructions and used the tip of her sword to lift off the killer's coat. Then she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"really!"
Under the killer's night clothes, he was wearing an undergarment that only Taoist priests would wear!
A trip to the north actually led to a double assassination attempt by Lingyao Sword Sect and Qilin Mountain at the same time!
It seems that as long as Li Wuji is not in the capital, there are many people who want to take his life!
Offending too many people is definitely not a good thing.
"Since I can't sleep anymore, let's meet the next person."
To be continued...
