Chapter 974: Swords and Shadows in the Dark

At this moment, in the originally dark and silent alley, there was suddenly a hurried sound of footsteps.

The footsteps were very urgent, like raindrops, "pa pa pa" constantly stomping on the ground, and then, there was a muffled "bang" sound, and a muffled groan came out in the dark alley. It felt like two people collided head-on.

And followed closely by the sound of swords hitting each other.

The sound of swords hitting each other was urgent and fast. Even if we haven't entered the alley yet, we can see the flashes of fire and swords in the alley from time to time, and in the flashes of swords, two blurry figures were also reflected.

"What a fast knife and sword!" Wu Sheng's pupils shrank, and he whispered: "Someone is fighting with that black shadow. That black shadow is most likely the Northeast woman with the knife. As for the one with the sword, judging from the frequency of the swords hitting each other, he is most likely using the Maoshan sword. Only the speed of the Maoshan sword can keep up with the speed of this woman's knife."

I have seen how fast that woman's knife is. If I just fight her in close combat with a knife, I don't think I am her opponent.

And this person who suddenly appeared can actually fight with this Northeast woman with a knife?

This must be a master!

"It should be an intelligence agent from the Intelligence Bureau. Let's go!" After I finished speaking, I got up first and rushed into the alley.

Wu Sheng and Tie Jun looked at each other, and then quickly followed.

But what surprised me was that when we rushed into the alley, the sound of swords clashing suddenly disappeared. It felt as if both of us put away our swords and knives at the same time and hid them all.

"They don't know whether they are enemies or friends, so they hide subconsciously. Be careful. At this time, it's easy to get hurt by the one using the sword." Wu Sheng lowered his voice and whispered in my ear.

I nodded, and my right hand slowly raised at this moment, and gently pressed on the Zanling Knife at my waist.

It was a dark and windy night. In a dark and dirty alley, an unknown female swordsman from the Northeast and a sword master suddenly appeared...

This should have been an extremely tense moment, but at this moment, I don't know why, my heart suddenly became excited for no reason, and even my pores and cells began to tremble slightly.

It was not because of the fear of the unknown darkness, but because of...excitement!

Since I came back from the mountains, I haven't fought for a long time. Countless brushes with death have made me a belligerent character. If I had met a strong enemy before, I would be terrified and might even retreat, but after experiencing so many storms, my character seems to have changed dramatically.

I had not noticed this change before, but only now did I realize that when I found a powerful enemy, I was so excited. I

even had the urge to look up to the sky and let out a long roar, then draw my sword and rush out!

But in the end, I still suppressed this urge, because I knew that I was not facing an ordinary person, but a real master.

For this kind of person who uses the sword to the extreme, killing is as easy as breathing and eating, and as long as the sword is drawn, it is definitely a fatal killing move!

I took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in my heart, and then squinted my eyes and scanned around.

Dark, this alley is really too dark. The most important thing is that everyone is hiding their breath at this time, which makes me dare not let go of my five senses completely.

Once my five senses are completely let go, the wisps of netherworld energy will diffuse out of my body, and those wisps of netherworld energy will become a bright light in this darkness. At that time, everyone will be aware of my position and may attack me together.

I held my breath and took a step forward slowly.

However, my suspended foot did not land on the ground, but kicked a stone on the ground lightly.

In an instant, I heard a "whoosh" sound, and the stone was kicked away by my foot and flew straight into the darkness.

Almost at the moment when the stone flew out, I saw a flash of cold light, and then there was a sound of "dang", and the stone was directly chopped into pieces, and the debris flew all over the sky.

At the moment when the knife light flashed, my eyes condensed, and my feet suddenly landed in the air, and I kicked hard on the ground.

The next second, I was like a ghost in the dark, silently but extremely fast, and instantly stuck to the position where the knife light just burst out.

At the moment when the knife light flashed just now, I instantly caught the figure of the woman, but the knife light only flashed for a moment, and then it fell into darkness again. The figure of the woman was swallowed by the darkness again, and at this moment, she was very likely to have changed her position.

But none of this is important, all I want is her approximate location.

When I came to the position where the blade flashed, I suddenly exerted my strength on the handle of the blade, and then pulled it out fiercely.

At the moment I drew the blade, all the strength and Qi in my body flowed into my right arm, and then passed through my palm and into the Soul-Slaying Blade.

At the moment the Soul-Slaying Blade was unsheathed, all the cells in my body began to tremble violently, and the Qi and blood in my body kept surging.

"Shua..."

First, the sound of the blade being unsheathed sounded, and the sound was so crisp, and it seemed so harsh in the silent night.

Then, a dazzling blade light suddenly flashed.

At that moment, the destructive blade light illuminated half of the alley, and two figures were instantly exposed in front of my eyes.

The plump northeastern woman with heavy makeup had a look of surprise on her face. She obviously did not expect that I, who suddenly barged in, would make such a powerful slash.

I saw that she had changed out of her revealing clothes and put on a tight sportswear, but this outfit made her plump figure more prominent. In addition, she was holding an extremely short knife between her middle and index fingers on her right hand. If you didn't look closely, you couldn't even notice it.

As for the other person, he was a man wearing a mask and holding a very thin sword about 20 centimeters long.

He was also stunned, and at the same time, he was flying back quickly, trying to avoid the range of the blade.

"It's you!" The surprise on the woman's face disappeared in the blink of an eye, and she said coldly, and then her feet tapped on the ground, and her plump body flew back at a speed that was disproportionate to her size.

"Do you know me?" I frowned, and at this moment, I heard a 'ripping' sound, but I was still a step too slow. Her chest was directly cut by the blade, and the moment her clothes were cut, bright red blood spurted out.

She groaned, gritted her teeth and looked at me, then turned and walked away.

"Want to leave?" My eyes focused, and then my figure flashed, and I quickly chased after her.

"Who are you?" The masked man blocked my path, and asked me with a look of doubt on his face.

"Get out of the way!" I said coldly. He was stunned at first, and then quickly pressed his body against the wall to make way for me.
