Chapter 236: Seeing Injustice
This was a carefully planned assassination targeting Lin Chen himself.
After knowing in advance the path he would take, they arranged for no fewer than ten assassins with second-rate martial arts training to ambush him in disguise.
There were assassins holding powerful crossbows crouching on the rooftops on both sides of the street.
This kind of formation, even if it is used to plot against ordinary Houtian warriors, will have a chance to succeed in assassination.
However.
After these assassins confirmed Lin Chen's appearance, they couldn't help but show a hint of hostility, which was noticed by Lin Chen.
Therefore.
Lin Chen, who was already on guard, was wrapped in innate body-protecting energy.
The hundred wrought iron armor-piercing crossbow arrows flew less than half an inch away from Lin Chen, and seemed to hit a big rock, making a sound of gold and iron hitting each other.
Then he fell to the ground helplessly.
Snap.
"What?!"
The assassin on the roof widened his eyes.
This is an armor-piercing crossbow forged by the Wulin Shenbing Pavilion. The arrowhead is made of heavenly black iron, which has the ability to restrain internal forces.
The body-protecting power of a first-class warrior is no thicker than paper in front of it.
You know, in order to assassinate Lin Chen.
They specially purchased twenty armor-breaking crossbow bolts from Shenbing Pavilion in order to completely kill Lin Chenjia!
Never thought…
These assassins were not allowed to react. As the saying goes, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.
Now that the move has been made, there is no room for maneuver.
"Go together!"
An assassin shouted loudly and stepped forward with a sharp blade in his hand.
Except for the unlucky guy who was kicked away by the Yezhao Jade Lion, the remaining ten assassins all had extraordinary auras.
At least they are all second-rate warriors, and the first two are still first-rate masters!
Who is so generous?
There was no panic in Lin Chen's eyes about being assassinated. Instead, he thought about this issue thoughtfully.
As for these assassins? !
Lin Chen moved slightly, just moved sideways and raised his hand.
Buzz!
The poison-coated short blade twisted and vibrated, then shattered!
The splash blade instead injured the assassin holding the weapon.
Phew!
The broken blade passed through the body.
Several assassins whose hearts and necks were pierced fell straight down, with a trace of dark blood oozing from the wounds.
I think this is the poison on the knife edge.
The assassins who came under siege had lost half of their strength before they encountered Lin Chen!
"How can it be?!"
The leading assassin's eyes locked fiercely, his eyes full of disbelief!
Didn't it mean that this Lin Chenjia only had first-class martial arts cultivation?
Just what the other party did just now is at least the best among acquired warriors!
The information is wrong!
only.
Assassinating an important official of the imperial court in the street was already a capital crime.
Even now, they can't help but retreat.
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this.
These assassins are actually dead soldiers.
Logically speaking.
At this time, you should miss the target and run away immediately.
Only the assassin in front of him was still thinking about a fatal blow.
This kind of people can only be like this if they are specially trained dead soldiers.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen became more and more interested in the forces behind this group of assassins.
Who would take such a risk to assassinate him?
Lin Chen thought about it in his mind and felt that it was definitely not a force that could appear on the bright side.
That is to say.
One of the three major forces in Wuyou Cave, Blood Killing Pavilion!
This organization specializes in assassinations.
After being forced into a desperate situation by Lin Chen, was assassination the revenge method he thought of?
indeed.
Just as Lin Chen guessed.
The assassin who assassinated him on the street did come from the Blood Killing Pavilion, and his origins were extraordinary.
These are considered the top assassins of the Blood Killing Pavilion. In the past, the asking price would start at 5,000 taels of silver.
now.
They all came to kill Lin Chen.
Unfortunately.
The Blood Killing Pavilion underestimated Lin Chen and overestimated their own abilities.
Lin Chen's eyes were slightly cold, and he planned to take down the remaining assassins.
But don't want to.
At this time, an outsider intervened.
"He Fang Xiaoxiao!"
Just listen to a loud shout!
An old man in a green shirt came holding a bamboo pole taken from a street vendor, using the pole instead of a gun, and waved it wide and wide.
Good guy.
He really roared when he saw injustice on the road.
Lin Chen glanced at the old man in surprise.
Just look at its body shape, although it is not strong, but its lower body is very stable, and there are calluses on the tiger's mouth.
more importantly.
The surging blood energy in his body was no less than that of the Heavenly Warriors later.
This made Lin Chen look strange.
Just like Confucius was actually nine feet tall, burly, and capable of running a horse on his shoulders.
According to the deeds of Confucius recorded in history books, the other party had the strength to carry up the city gate.
He is not a thin scholar with no strength in the ordinary people's impression.
This was the first impression that the old man who came to Lin Chen's rescue gave Lin Chen.
Just look!
The bamboo pole waved out blossoming spear flowers in his hand.
This surprised Lin Chen even more.
With such spear skills, he has definitely entered the realm of a master!
An assassin who tried to block the old man was immediately pierced by a long pole.
Who said you can't kill someone without a gun?
The assassin who had his heart stabbed with a bamboo pole could not express his pain.
The assassin leader was numb.
I thought that assassinating Lin Chenjia was a sure shot.
Hearing the hurried footsteps of the soldiers patrolling the streets of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division not far away, he knew that nothing could be done today.
If they don't leave, all of them will die!
That being the case.
"withdraw!"
The assassin leader shouted.
However.
They wanted to run, had they asked Lin Chen?
The innate true qi turned into invisible sword auras.
A gust of evil wind was noticed by the assassins who wanted to escape.
But before they could react, they felt a blackness in front of their eyes and fell to the ground.
Only the two first-class assassins were left by Lin Chen, but the invisible sword pierced the meridians of his hands and feet.
Since then, the other party has become a cripple.
"Huh?"
The old man saw this scene, his face was full of strange colors.
He was self-indulgent.
With this method, these scoundrels can't hurt the other party.
However.
The old man saw the two assassins lying on the ground with their bloody hands raised, wanting to do something, and his face changed slightly.
He immediately strode forward.
He pinched the lower jaw of one person and snapped.
Dislocated it.
As for the other person, his body twitched and he immediately lost his voice.
Lin Chen stepped forward and saw black blood oozing from the other party's mouth.
Tsk.
In order to avoid being captured, he also hid suicide poison in his mouth.
Lin Chen had seen this scene in many costume movies and TV shows.
But he didn't expect to come to Li Tang and have the honor to see it with his own eyes.
Fortunately, the assassin controlled by the old man had his lower jaw dislocated and couldn't even commit suicide.
Lin Chen looked at the other party's ordinary face with his eyes narrowed.
He didn't ask anything.
Because this is not a good place for interrogation.
"What happened here? Why are you making a noise!"
A team of soldiers from the Five Cities Military Department shouted over.
But after seeing the corpses all over the ground, his face changed drastically.
The leading sergeant saw a familiar figure.
He naturally recognized this ghost mask.
That was something their former governor liked to wear.
"Hello, sir!"
The sergeant asked respectfully.
Lin Chen shook his head and said after a moment's pause: "Pack up the body and bring this man back to the Wucheng Bingmasi for interrogation!"
"Yes!"
