Perhaps in the entire Zhenhuang City, Chu Qiao is the only one who truly understands Yan Xun's strength. From Yan Xun's perspective, getting rid of Li Ce is a good strategic plan. As soon as Li Ce died, Zhenhuang City was in chaos. The trust between the major families and the royal family was instantly shattered. Bian Tang and Da Xia started fighting, Huai Song Dahuang took the opportunity to revolt, and the Quanrong rose up in the north. The whole Simon would immediately fall into a chaotic war. At that time, Emperor Xia would certainly find it difficult to spare any time to deal with Yan Xun, and he might even have to rely on Yanbei's military strength to fight against the northern Quanrong. Yan Xun would be invincible in an instant and gain complete initiative.
If it was really Yan Xun who did it, then shouldn't she immediately find a way to expose her whereabouts, try to kill Li Ce, and then cleverly divert the blame and throw the dirty water on the major families?
If it wasn't Yan Xun's doing, then since she has already seen the benefits of this matter for Yan Bei, from the overall perspective, shouldn't she take advantage of the situation and go with the flow?
The agent's code of conduct is to always look at the overall situation and sacrifice any cost in exchange for the maximum benefit of one's own side.
Chu Qiao slowly clenched her palms, and the dagger under her ribs emitted a cold light, almost piercing her skin. She didn't want to think about how she got ashore after falling unconscious, didn't want to think about Li Ce's profile as he staggered through the jungle with her on his back, didn't want to think about the eagerness and worry in his voice as he called her over and over again.
If it weren't for me, he would have died in the previous assassination.
What goes around comes around, God is fair.
Chu Qiao slowly narrowed her eyes and slid her fingers towards the dagger under her ribs. Her calm mind allowed her to quickly wipe out the unrealistic emotions that had previously arisen. She always knew what she should do, just like a mission. For the past eight years, she has always wanted to return to Yanbei. Apart from that, nothing else matters.
The blade is printed with dark patterns and made of cold iron. It is thin and compact and wrapped in cotton cloth. Judging from the current iron forging technology, it is a high-tech product that is ahead of its time. The moment Chu Qiao touched the weapon, her mind became clear, all the emotions that shouldn't have existed disappeared in an instant, and she instantly turned into a qualified iron-blooded agent.
Hold the blade with the middle finger and index finger, draw the knife, rotate it, grip the handle, and strike!
Everything happened in an instant. Li Ce suddenly pounced in mid-air, and shouted in panic, "Qiao Qiao, be careful!"
A huge hound pounced from behind Chu Qiao, and in a flash bit Li Ce's wrist who was protecting Chu Qiao. As Li Ce stepped aside, an even bigger hound jumped out. The cold dagger remained in the same direction and pierced into the hound's carotid artery, rotating and pulling it horizontally!
Blood splatters! The wails began!
Chu Qiao turned around and kicked the other hound in the waist. The hound screamed and fell to the side!
Six masked men in black emerged from the woods. They had fierce eyes and steady steps. They were obviously masters of martial arts. Chu Qiao slowly took a step forward and pulled Li Ce, who was enduring the pain without crying out, behind her. She slowly drew out the Broken Moon Sword from her waist and looked at the six people opposite with a cold gaze.
When masters fight, their speed is always extremely fast. The Broken Moon Sword was unstoppable and instantly split the two men's swords. It slashed into a man's shoulder at extremely fast speed. The right foot followed up and kicked the man's lower body heavily. The left hand formed a claw and grabbed the man's neck tightly.
With a snap and the crisp sound of bones dislocating, the man fell limply to the ground and turned into a corpse before he could even scream.
In an instant, one died and one was injured, and the fighting power was extremely strong.
At this moment, the other four people had already arrived. Two of them attacked Chu Qiao, while the other two went to besiege Li Ce.
Chu Qiao turned around quickly and saw an assassin swinging a knife towards Li Ce. She frowned immediately and threw out the Moon-Breaking Sword. The sword whistled away, bringing with it a thunderous wind.
In the blink of an eye, a huge sound of bone breaking was heard, and a fast and fierce attack came in an instant. Before the two assassins could react, everything went black in front of their eyes, blood splattered, and their brains burst.
At the same time, a scream suddenly came from in front of Li Ce. The man who was swinging the knife at him was about to succeed, but a sharp sword came at him from the side and pierced his chest with a swish. Blood seeped out from his heart, and the sword stopped steadily in front of Li Ce.
Li Ce's face turned pale and he was terrified. Before he could even scream, the only remaining killer immediately pounced on him.
The girl rushed forward instantly and drew out the Broken Moon Sword.
Break the wrist, twist the arm, break the elbow, grab the knife, turn around and commit suicide!
The movements were swift and smooth. In the next second, the originally aggressive assassin had his eyes wide open, a huge wound on his lower abdomen, blood gushing out, and he fell to the ground with a thud!
At this moment, the girl had just turned around from jumping, the cold wind blew slowly over her body, and her hair was stained with blood, dripping down drop by drop.
The time from the opponent's sneak attack to now was just a blink of an eye, but what was tested was the courage, eyesight, speed and skills of both sides. Obviously, it turns out that Chu Qiao, the super agent of the 21st century, is slightly better in this regard.
"Qiao Qiao!" Li Ce rushed forward, hugged her and shouted excitedly, "You are awesome!"
Chu Qiao remained calm and slowly pushed him away. She looked coldly into the depths of the jungle and said in a cold voice, "Come out!"
Li Ce was stunned and his face suddenly turned cold. He turned around and saw four men in black wearing the same clothes slowly walking out of the dense forest. Their swords were not yet unsheathed, and it was obvious that they had just arrived.
The four men felt their scalps tingling when they looked at the thin girl. They were only a few dozen steps away from the six people in front of them, and yet in just such a short few dozen steps, five of their own people were killed and one was injured. How powerful was the fighting power of this girl who seemed like she could be blown down by a gust of wind?
Chu Qiao looked arrogant and coldly glanced at the four people opposite her with a look of contempt. Suddenly, she snorted and said coldly, "Are you coming one by one, or all together?"
The few men were cautious and did not speak. Instead, they slowly drew out their swords and held them diagonally in front of them, but did not dare to attack rashly.
Chu Qiao snorted coldly, threw away the Broken Moon Sword in her hand, and snorted: "To deal with you guys with bare hands is considered a girl bullying you."
The four of them were startled at once, and then four pairs of eyes burst into ecstasy. They thought to themselves that this girl was boasting too much and was so stupid that she actually wanted to fight several people with her bare hands. She was simply courting her own life. I've seen fools, but I've never seen one as foolish as this. Everyone was an assassin themselves, so there was no need to talk about the code of conduct. They shouted in unison and attacked suddenly, fearing that they would lose the initiative, and pounced without any courtesy!
The blade was sharp, the sword energy was intimidating, and the cold light almost approached Chu Qiao's pores, but the girl still stood there coldly, with a calm face and a sneer on her lips, as if she didn't take them seriously at all.
The four of them were immediately overjoyed, and they watched the opportunity to gain this top military achievement, and rushed forward without hesitation, with astonishing momentum and explosive like thunder!
However, at this moment, Chu Qiao suddenly made a move. She shook her wrist and four sharp flying knives flew out of thin air like magic. The blades were smooth and as smooth as a mirror, just like a work of art.
But the four assassins no longer had the leisure to appreciate the work of art. Their faces suddenly changed and their eyes widened in horror. Faced with a deadly weapon that is faster and more cunning than a sword, no one would be without worry and fear, but it is too late to retreat. The girl just shook her wrist and swung out immediately. Four flying knives suddenly attacked forward like death warrants. There was nowhere to hide at such a close distance. The four flying knives seemed to have eyes and pierced into the throats of the four people at the same time. Blood gushed out. The four people's voices were hoarse and they couldn't even shout out "We've been fooled" clearly.
Seeing that the four assassins were killed in the blink of an eye, Li Ce's face turned pale and he was stunned for a long time before he blurted out a complete sentence: "Qiao Qiao, you are so despicable!"
It was hard to tell whether this was a compliment or sarcasm. Chu Qiao gave him a cold look and suddenly felt weak all over. She fell down as her body softened.
"Ouch! Your wound is bleeding again!"
Chu Qiao was no longer able to care about him. She looked at the injured black-clad assassin lying straight in the distance and ordered the lazy man, "Go, kill him."
"Okay!" Li Ce agreed cheerfully, fumbled around the ground for a long time, finally picked up a stone with nostalgia, and ran towards the assassin who was bleeding and unconscious.
"Hmph, you dare to attack me, I will send you to hell right now." After saying that, Li Ce immediately raised his hand, raised the stone and hit the man.
A scream of "Ah" suddenly rang out. Chu Qiao frowned. Li Ce also had a grim look on his face. He saw that his confident blow not only failed to kill the man, but instead woke him up. The assassin felt pain and screamed loudly, the sound of which could be heard from far away. I believe that enemies several miles away would be attracted by this scream.
The look in Chu Qiao's eyes could no longer be described as anger. Li Ce tried frantically to cover the assassin's mouth, while waving a large stone with his other hand. In a short while, the assassin's head turned into a mass of paste, so horrible that no features could be recognized.
Chu Qiao couldn't help but feel sorry for the assassin. He was considered a skilled martial artist, but she didn't expect him to die at the hands of such an idiot, and in such a tragic way.
"Qiao Qiao," Li Ce rubbed his hands, walked back embarrassedly, and said flatteringly, "Can you still walk?"
Chu Qiao glanced at him coldly and stood up, leaning on the scabbard.
The roar of a waterfall came to my ears, the sky was full of fire, and there were enemies on all sides. I didn't know in which direction the emperor's rescuers were, so I could not be careless.
"Qiao Qiao, that move you just made was so powerful, can you teach me?"
"Qiao Qiao, do you think those people were killed by the flying knives or were they pissed off by you? I saw two of them died with their eyes open. They must have died with their eyes open."
“Qiao Qiao…”
"Shut up!"
The woman shouted angrily in a vicious voice, concentrating her mind and carefully exploring the way ahead. She seemed to have forgotten what she had thought an incense stick ago, and the idea of killing Li Ce was temporarily put aside. She thought of the hound just now. There was still a wound more than an inch long on Li Ce's wrist.
Forget it, just consider it as interest and let him live a little longer.
At this moment, Li Ce, who was following behind, had no idea that the hound had saved his life. He looked at the hideous wound on his fair wrist angrily and muttered depressedly, "I have a group of big dogs in my palace. Any one of them can beat ten or eight of them."
