Chapter 26
On the chest, the ancient compass was releasing an icy chill, directly invading her heart, making her feel the existence of the killing intent. Could it be that the throbbing feeling just now was also released by this compass?
It turned out to be the strangeness of the compass. Mu Hanyan did not take out the compass to study the reason, but evenly adjusted his breathing, and then tightened every nerve.
The killing intent kept approaching, and with all his attention, Mu Hanyan vaguely heard the almost inaudible footsteps. Obviously, a master sneaked into the city lord's mansion and came straight to her room. More importantly, Mu Hanyan had already felt his will to kill.
Who is coming? Is it the Zhao family? Those who wanted her life in the early stage should not have noticed her existence. In the current situation, the so-called enemy is only the fourth Miss Zhao family, who may want to deal with her. But the level of grievance between her and the fourth Miss Zhao family was not enough for her family to take such a risk. Because even if she is no longer a weapon, she is still the eldest son of the City Lord's Mansion in name? Aren't the Zhao family afraid that things will be exposed and the family will be wiped out? For this grievance, the Zhao family would not take such a risk. Besides, this is the City Lord's Mansion. With the strength of the Zhao family, it seems that no one can sneak in so quietly.
Not from the Zhao family.
Who would that be?
In an instant, Mu Hanyan's heart turned a thousand times, but he couldn't come up with an answer, so he temporarily hid his doubts in his heart. Now is not the time to ponder this question, from the inaudible footsteps and the chilling killing intent, she can guess that the opponent's strength is far superior to her, even if she calls for help now, the other party can still Kill her before the guards in the palace arrive.
If you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself.
Mu Hanyan slowly got out of bed, pulled the quilt out of a human form, disguised himself as if he was still asleep, then stepped back to the side of the window, held his breath, bent over to hold the sword, and prepared the best shot.
With the strength of the opponent, a rookie who quietly sneaked in and assassinated a first-order swordsman should be somewhat underestimated.
This should be an opportunity, but it is also the only opportunity. After all, the difference in strength is too great. No matter how powerful she used to be, now she is only a first-rank swordsman. After that tragic change, she has already washed away her pomp and became much quieter than before.
Closer, closer!
"Kick", in a soft sound, a black shadow broke through the window, and the long sword in his hand shone a cold light, and stabbed directly at the camouflaged human figure on the bed.
Mu Hanyan's eyes lit up, just as she expected, the other party really didn't pay much attention to her as a first-rank swordsman. Once he found the target, he delivered a fatal blow without hesitation. Not only did he not deliberately conceal the sword light, but he did not even carefully identify her position.
Of course, Mu Hanyan would not miss this only opportunity. At the moment when the opponent flew in, he slanted his sword and stabbed the opponent's lower body from bottom to top.
This sword is so ingenious, so swift, and of course, so vicious.
There is no way, the strength gap is too big, it is bigger than her earlier expectations, there is no chance of not being vicious at all.
It was only now that Mu Hanyan could see the strength of the opponent. The tenth-rank swordsman, who was known as a great swordsman, was not much less worried than her old father who was the city lord of Black Rock City. Mu Hanyan even began to regret it. If he had known that the opponent had such strength, he should not have had any illusions at all. The chance of escaping and saving his life was even greater.
Unfortunately, there is no chance to regret it until now.
