Hidden Blade

Chapter 10 See You Beloved under the Moon

Night.

Outside an inn called Feng Ning in Jingsheng City , black shadows swarmed.

They descended one after another from afar, lurking in the shadows of the night like wolves. They stared coldly at the inn, like hungry beasts staring at a fat elk.

The killing intent began to spread.

However, the inn in the center of the storm was still filled with laughter and joy, unaware of the imminent slaughter.

As a member of these Asuras, Xu Han frowned as he looked at the inn in the distance. His mind was still revolving around what Yuan Xiucheng had said today.

"The Ten Halls of Yama will definitely attach great importance to the red-robed magistrate under Emperor Song's command. If you are soft-hearted in this battle, you will definitely reveal yourself and be noticed by others. At that time, not to mention you, even I will be implicated. Therefore, you must be ruthless today. No matter who the opponent is, you must kill him!"

Xu Han wasn't a person who couldn't distinguish the importance of the matter. In the past two years, he had let go of some people who didn't seem to him to be dying, but he had also killed many people he had no choice but to kill.

In his opinion, Yuan Xiucheng's instructions were actually a big problem. Furthermore, perhaps Yuan Xiucheng had done it intentionally. Today, his goal was only to hide the disciples of the Xuanhe Peak sent by the Exquisite Pavilion. Xu Han naturally knew how powerful these immersed cultivators were. The most troublesome ones were probably a few green-clothed disciples who were responsible for protecting them. However, under these twenty plus Asura subordinates, they probably wouldn't be able to cause any big waves.

As for Long Congyun, he was probably already on his way to intercept and kill the ocean currents. However, what he didn't know was that this mantis was still hunting cicadas. Today, Xuanming Sword Immortal, who was famous in Jianghu, would probably have a different head and used it as a bargaining chip for the Dark Asura Hall to exchange for wealth.

However, Senluo Hall was unwilling to tear apart the Linglong Pavilion, the first sect of the Great Zhou Empire. Therefore, they naturally couldn't leave any survivors tonight. At that time, he could even pour this dirty water on Canghai Liu's body and kill two birds with one stone. Just thinking about the Dark Asura Hall 's scheme made Xu Han feel a chill run down his spine.

"Go!"

Accompanied by a low shout from the darkness.

The Asuras who were hiding in the shadows responded. They shuttled through the night like ghosts and surrounded the inn at an extremely fast speed.

"Who is it!" The disciples of the Exquisite Pavilion's Sword Hall were clearly not in vain. When the Asuras were still several zhang away from the inn, they were noticed.

Following a loud shout, a crisp clanging sound rang out and the sword was unsheathed.

Neither side had any intention of talking. In the next moment, the knives and sabers met in close combat.

Clearly, the Linglong Pavilion had not anticipated the Dark Asura Hall 's surprise attack, and there were only two or three green-clothed disciples left behind to defend.

Although their cultivation was not ordinary, a master at the Great Success of the Pill Sun Realm would definitely be the target of the various forces in Jianghu, but they were still unable to stir up any big waves under the twenty plus Asura subordinates.

After slightly resisting for a while, his neck was cut off under the siege, spraying out a stream of scorching blood. Then, he fell on his back, unable to stand up again.

After taking care of the corpses, the black-clothed Asuras charged towards the inn like wolves.

The noise here had already revealed their intentions.

The disciples of the Xuanhe Peak of the Exquisite Pavilion in the inn were instantly shocked. Even though a small number of them had gathered their courage to fight to the death, how could these inexperienced teenagers and young girls be the opponents of the ruthless black-clothed Asura?

At that moment, the entire inn was filled with mourning, and blood splashed everywhere.

As an Asura, Xu Han naturally followed the crowd into the inn. Looking at the lives that had been harvested like wheat straw, he frowned.

In the end, he still couldn't ignore all of this.

But similarly, if he didn't kill anyone in Dark Asura Hall , then he would be the one to die.

He had no choice.

Thus, he sighed and pulled the black masked cloth upwards. A cold light flashed in his eyes. In the end, he had to kill one or two people, or else he would really be seen through.

Thinking of this, he jumped to the second floor of the inn. He chose a door and kicked it violently. The door was like paper, and it was kicked to shreds by him.

He walked in.

The candlelight in the room had already been extinguished, but white smoke was still rising up the wax head that had been extinguished. Apparently, there was still someone in this room not long ago.

Xu's cold gaze slowed his pace.

He held his dagger in his hand. The past few years of life and death had taught him the simplest truth. A lion fighting a rabbit also needed to use all of its strength. Any underestimation of your enemies can put you in a situation where you will never be able to recover.

Xu Han understood this reasoning, so he was still cautious when he knew that the inn no longer had any combat strength to take action.

He kept himself in a state where he could explode at any time in response to any situation that might arise.

Obviously, he had overestimated his opponent who was hiding in the darkness.

He walked around the room. The person in the darkness had no intention of taking action. Instead, he hid in a corner. Xu Han could even faintly hear his trembling breathing.

This is not a good choice.

Xu Han knew very well that avoiding was never the solution to a problem. This principle was the same for everything.

He had to risk his life to hide, but he could only wait for death to arrive.

He sighed again, but he didn't know whether it was because of the trembling elk in the darkness, or because of himself who was now raising the butcher's knife.

Thinking of this, he turned around and walked towards the door.

The moment he stepped out of the door, a soft sound suddenly came from inside the room.

It was an extremely soft voice, so soft that it was almost unrecognizable.

It was the sound of breathing, the sound of breathing when the heart finally came down.

This was the voice that Xu Han was waiting for.

He keenly captured the location of the voice and suddenly turned around and ran towards it.

The figure in the darkness obviously did not expect Xu Han to do this. He could no longer hide. He stood up and tried to escape.

But how could he be Xu Han's opponent?

In just an instant, Xu Han arrived in front of the figure. He stretched out a hand and grabbed the neck of the figure tightly. Then, he exerted a slight force and lifted it up.

Female.

Xu Han was stunned. In the next moment, he could feel the identity of this elk from the touch in his hand.

"Unfortunately, I still have to kill you." Xu Han raised his head to look at the girl he had mentioned. In the darkness, he could not see her appearance clearly, but the fear in her eyes clearly fell into Xu Han's eyes.

He said helplessly.

If she was released, today's matter would be exposed. Once the Dark Asura Hall tracked her down, all the Asuras that participated in today would not be spared the Dark Asura Hall 's rules, which had always been so rude.

Thinking of this, the dagger in his hand was raised high by him. The cold light on the sharp blade made the elk's heart feel despair.

She knew that she had no chance of surviving today.

Her eyes slowly closed at that time, waiting for death as quietly as possible.

Perhaps it was fate.

Or something else.

Just as Xu Han's saber was about to land on the girl's neck, the dark clouds shrouded in moonlight suddenly dispersed. The bright moonlight spilled into the dark room through the screen window.

The moonlight illuminated Xu Han's cold and gloomy dagger. Of course, it also illuminated the girl's face.

It was a face that was not beautiful, and because of the fear that filled his heart, that face was incomparably pale, without the slightest bit of blood.

But Xu Han was stunned at that moment.

Although they hadn't seen each other for four years, and even though it was just a quick glance, he still recognized her at this moment.

His pupils suddenly dilated, and he even began to tremble inexplicably. As time passed, this tremor grew stronger and stronger.

"It's you …"

"It's you …"

"It's you!!!"

He muttered to himself as if he was stunned by the devil.

At that moment, the dagger in his hand suddenly fell off and fell to the ground.
