Chapter 76: The Death of General
An Several subordinates were stunned for a moment, but fortunately they were not slapped to death by the enemy.
Sure enough, you must not be dazed during a fight!
An Yunxi rushed to a person with a quick step, and her figure was as agile as a swimming fish. The imperial guard holding a curved knife immediately cut An Yunxi's neck, but she seemed to be able to predict the enemy's movements in advance, just tilted her neck slightly, and then avoided it smoothly, and even elbowed him with a backhand.
The guard immediately put away the knife and returned to defend, but An Yunxi retreated far away in an instant and fought with another person holding a long whip.
She only had a dagger in her hand, but she was able to easily block the long whip swung by the opponent. The man holding the whip showed obvious surprise in his eyes.
Where did this master come from?
An Yunxi was wearing black clothes, which were loose. She was taller than the average woman and shorter than the man. She also changed her voice when she spoke before, and it was impossible to tell whether she was a man or a woman.
The other guards of the palace were already in groups of two, fighting with the other three. They were obviously at a disadvantage and could not beat the opponent at all. They could only hold on.
An Yunxi looked inside. At this time, the door of the cell was close at hand. An Qinghun was hung on a rack with injuries. He had woken up and opened his eyes.
He saw the fight clearly in front of him, and his eyes widened involuntarily. The blood on his face faded, and he seemed to be stupid.
In his mind, he had only one thought.
Someone wanted to kill him!
He struggled desperately, shaking the chain on his wrist, but unfortunately he was tied up tightly and couldn't run away at all.
"Help, help, help!"
He began to shout for help at the top of his lungs. In addition to the sound of fighting, there was also General An's cry for help
. If the fight continued like this.
Even if she was exhausted, An Yunxi would not be able to kill two of the ten dead men around the emperor in a short time.
But she also brought another thing with her .
The bottles and jars that her third brother had given her before, which were used for self-defense.
While the two were fighting, she unexpectedly took out a small bottle and threw it at the whip-wielding assassin.
The next moment, the whip hit the porcelain bottle, which exploded in an instant, and the powder inside splashed out.
The whip-wielding assassin immediately covered his eyes in pain and screamed. An Yunxi grabbed the end of the opponent's whip, dragged the man in front of her, and wrapped the long whip around the opponent's neck.
Her eyes were fierce, and just as she was about to exert force, a curved knife slashed behind her. She had no choice but to let go and let the opponent save his companion.
But it was this gap that the pressure around An Yunxi dropped sharply, giving her the opportunity to approach An Qing.
She rushed to the cell door, cut the chain hanging on it with one knife, pushed the door open and walked into the cell.
An Qing was shocked to see this scene, and begged for mercy without any hesitation: "Spare my life, who bribed you to assassinate this general? This general can give you double the benefits, if it doesn't work, you name a price!"
He saw that the black-clothed man in front of him was very skilled. He
was able to break out of the siege and kill him under the siege of two palace masters, which shows that this person is definitely the top master of the entire Beiling.
Maybe he is a powerful character in some killer organization!
An Yunxisi ignored what General An meant.
The moment she pushed open the cell door, she was about to throw the dagger in her hand and pierce his neck.
But at the moment she was about to do it, An Yunxi was stunned.
Because, at some point, a figure walked out from behind the rack where General An was tied.
That person was also fully armed. He
even wore a silver mask on his face.
That mask was a fox mask that could be seen everywhere on the streets outside, like a child's toy.
At this time, he also had a dagger in his hand, and then he put it on An Qing's neck.
An Qing never dreamed that someone had been ambushing behind him. He felt a dull pain in his neck, and it seemed that blood was flowing down.
Then, the blade pressed down very slowly, and the feeling of pain gradually spread. His eyes widened, and he began to struggle and wail in great pain.
Because there was suddenly one more person, the two fighting parties were attracted by the screams and temporarily separated into two sides without fighting.
There was no need to fight anymore.
The person that the Imperial Guards wanted to protect was actually taken away silently by someone.
These assassins who wanted to kill An Qing succeeded!
The blade had already penetrated deeply into the flesh of An Qing's neck. The movement seemed to strangle him. He delayed the matter for a long time even though it could be solved in an instant.
The man in the fox mask stood in front of An Yunxi and killed An Qing!
This scene was something An Yunxi had never expected.
She looked at the scene in a daze, alert to the identity of the masked man.
The blood on An Qing's neck was gushing out, and it couldn't be stopped at all. General An's eyes bulged out because of the increasingly severe pain and the feeling of being unable to breathe, and his body kept twitching. With
such injuries, there was no hope of recovery.
Four more figures approached the door.
Several imperial guards could tell at a glance that the four people behind them were not ordinary.
Just standing there, their aura was extraordinary.
If they fought again, one of the five of them would definitely die here. Since the mission had already failed, there was no need to lose more people.
"Let's go."
Those people did not continue to chase An Yunxi, and quickly fled out of the cell.
The palace guards immediately gathered together, looking at the four people behind them with fear.
They felt that these few people were more difficult to deal with than the five just now.
A layer of cold sweat broke out in An Yunxi's palms.
Even she didn't know when there were so many masters in the imperial city.
People with such strength must have a background, and it is impossible that they did not hear any rumors. No
one made a move.
The remaining two groups of people were in a stalemate.
An Yunxi deliberately asked in a hoarse voice: "We are here to kill this man, too. Since we are in the same line of work, there is no need to shout and kill each other."
The man in the fox mask did not speak.
He walked out from behind with graceful movements, and then took the knife that had just slashed An Qing's neck and pierced his heart deeply.
This time, An Qing's body did not even twitch.
He died with his eyes wide open, and even when he died, he did not know who killed him.
The man in the fox mask did not let down his guard. He pulled the dagger out of An Qing's left chest and stabbed it to the right.
Because he had heard that some people's hearts grow on the right side.
No matter how much An Yunxi hated General An, she couldn't help but twitch her lips when she saw the brutal scene in front of her.
