Chapter 973 Ambush

Leaving the back garden, I quickly went to Ren's house.

Pushing open the door, I stepped in and called, "Ren, I'm coming."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a strong wind blowing in front of him.

At this moment, the lights were not turned on in the room, and the curtains everywhere were tightly covered, not letting out any light. In addition, the eyes were not adapted to the darkness, and it was not clear for a moment where the strong wind was coming from. Whose hands.

Subconsciously, I drew my sword out of its sheath, and with the sound of the strong wind, I slashed diagonally.

This knife was not intended to kill, but was intended to resolve the immediate crisis, so the strength of the wrist was a little smaller.

But I saw that strong wind stopped in front of my blade, and then it turned, changed its angle, and stabbed towards my ribs.

The ribs are the weak point and fatal point of any adventurer. Looking at his strength, if this blow hits, I will definitely lose more than half of my combat power, or I will be severely injured if I don't do it.

I frowned, and my heart suddenly became cold. No matter who you are, as long as you think about taking my life, I will no longer show mercy.

As soon as I moved my steps, my body popped out of the door. At the same time, I saw the strong wind moving like a gangrene on my bones, following my body. The nimble body and movements were no worse than mine. .

Through the moonlight, I could see the figure of the man clearly, but I still couldn't see his face - his face was covered.

Wearing a dark bodysuit, he showed off his healthy and strong body. He held a short blade in his left hand, which shone coldly in the moonlight. Although his right hand did not hold a sharp blade, he wore a pair of metal handguards. This guard The hand was obviously made of fine steel, and the cold light reflected did not shine at all on the short blade.

Who is this guy?

Why at Wren's house?

Moreover, judging from his appearance, he must be an assassin. Could he be the assassin sent to kill Ren?

After a long fight, there was no sound in the room. Could it be that Ren and others have been assassinated?

Or is it that Ren and the others never came back at all, but this person has been waiting here and happened to be bumped into by me?

In an instant, so many thoughts flooded into my mind, and I couldn't help but frown.

The soles of my feet touched the ground, and I slashed with the knife without hesitation. Although it was night, there was moonlight after all, and the moonlight was quite bright. I could clearly see every move of the person in front of me, as long as his every move could still be detected. When I catch my eye, I have the strength to fight.

With that man's body speed, I definitely couldn't cut him with this sword, but I still had to swing this sword because I could force him back.

As long as the distance between him and me is always about a knife, I can almost dodge whether he is throwing hidden weapons or throwing knives - of course, I can't dodge at such a fast speed, but I can hit the vital points. completely avoided.

Sure enough, the man was forced half a step away by my blade. The moment he took half a step back, his figure shook and started to circle around me.

The speed of his circle was not very fast at first, and it could be easily identified with the naked eye. But as time passed by, his footwork became faster and faster. Through the darkness of the night, his The figure gradually became blurred.

If it were daytime, I could still use the strong sunlight to break through his blurry shadow, but now it is night, and he is still wearing dark clothes, and those blurry shadows have become his 'sharp weapon' to confuse my vision. For a while, , my naked eyes can’t tell which ones are real bodies and which ones are phantoms.

When I can't tell with the naked eye, I can only use my ears to distinguish. After all, these shadows are created by one person, and the sound cannot deceive me.

I narrowed my eyes slightly and focused all my attention on my ears, sensing the position of the person surrounding me.

Although his footsteps were light, they still made sounds. Those rustling sounds that sounded very chaotic sounded to my ears like GPS signals, sending me his location at any time.

After four breaths, I locked onto him in the shadow, stared at the shadow for half a second, and then took action, slashing towards the shadow.

There was only a metallic clang, and my Naotachi was grabbed hard by the man's guard. At the same time, his figure violently moved, and the short blade in his other hand stabbed towards my lower abdomen.

I snorted coldly, drew the knife sharply, pulled the blade out of his guard, turned around, and instantly blocked the stabbing short blade, and then hit the man's lower abdomen with a knee.

The man was also unambiguous. While moving forward, he could forcefully contract his lower abdomen, barely avoiding my sudden blow.

Then, the two of us started fighting back and forth.

After fighting each other for nearly half an hour, I felt a little weak, but the figure and movements of the man in front of me didn't show any signs of weakness.

What a powerful assassin!

I thought so in my heart.

There is no way to continue like this. If I have to fight for a few more hours, I have to be exhausted by him!

With this thought in my mind, I prepared to use a few fierce moves to force him away, and then try to shake him off.

Until this moment, I had no intention of killing him, mainly because he didn't show any murderous intention to me.

It is easy to hide murderous intentions in life, but it is difficult to hide murderous intentions in battle, because as you fight, people will involuntarily reveal their inner thoughts, which is inevitable.

But we fought for about half an hour and I didn't see him even have a murderous intention towards me. It can be seen that he didn't want to take my life. Since you don't plan to take my life, I can't kill you with malicious intent. Simply, think of something The best way is to find a loophole to escape.

After making up my mind, I turned my wrist, increased my strength, and slashed fiercely. Then I turned around and slashed again. After a few encounters, I forced him away more than a meter away.

Then he pointed the tip of the knife to the ground and said in a cold voice: "Who are you? Why do you appear at my friend's house?"

The man did not continue to pursue, his eyes were shining brightly in the moonlight, and he faced me quietly. For about half a minute, he burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, I'm lurking in my own home, can't I?" ?”

As he spoke, he pulled off his mask. Behind the mask was a familiar face, it turned out to be Renn!

"His grandma's wife turned out to be your old boy!" I swore directly: "I was worried to death just now. I thought you were killed!"

Ren chuckled and said: "In this huge Moonlight City, I can count the number of people who can really kill me with two hands, and you are one of them."

"Don't be ridiculous." I stepped forward and said haha: "I can't beat you. I have already verified it just now."

"Who said it was done with a beating?" Renn said with a smile: "If it was a real sword and spear gesture, you are far from my opponent now."
