Chapter 4341 Masked Warrior
After the masked warrior entered the house, he quickly merged with the night, and even his own energy was consistent with the rhythm of heaven and earth. He was like heaven and earth, and heaven and earth were like him. Following the faint moonlight, the masked warrior quietly approached the bed of Chen Zhong and his wife.
Chen Zhong and Ruan Lingyu have always loved sleeping under the moonlight and quilt. It is their special hobby, which has been like this for thousands of years. The moment the masked warrior approached the head of the bed, murderous intent surged in his heart, like a breeze blowing across the lake, stirring up a wave.
Then the murderous intent surged, as powerful as thunder. A black mist condensed into a sword, piercing Chen Zhong's head with the force of thunder. As long as Chen Zhong was solved, the remaining Ruan Lingyu was not worth mentioning.
But at this moment, Chen Zhong suddenly opened his eyes, raised his right hand, and a hard black shell quickly condensed on his arm to resist the fatal sword of the masked warrior.
With a puff, the sword still pierced into Chen Zhong's arm, penetrated to the tip of his nose, and almost pierced into his face.
Ruan Lingyu was startled and woke up, shouting, "Husband, someone is trying to assassinate me!"
Chen Zhong held Ruan Lingyu, pulled back his left hand, and the moment his arm was free of the sword, he turned into a black shadow and fled to the west.
"Where to escape to!" The masked warrior sneered in his heart, and his whole body turned into a black mist, blending into the night, following behind Chen Zhong and Ruan Lingyu.
Ruan Lingyu was held by Chen Zhong's waist, and she was terrified. She kept looking back. Behind Chen Zhong's shadow, there was a faint black gas surging, approaching madly. This black gas was wrapped in an astonishing murderous intent. As long as Chen Zhong's speed was a little slower, the black shadow would immediately attack.
"Husband, put me down, I'll lead him away!" Ruan Lingyu said in a voice transmission.
"No, we can't be separated as husband and wife. If we are separated, we will never see each other again. Even if we die today, we must die together." Chen Zhong's whole body was full of imperial blood, and he was burning his lifespan and desperately running away. He knew the opponent's strength very well. He was at the peak of the ancient emperor's cultivation, and his strength was probably not weaker than Broken Sword. Even if Chen Zhong and Ruan Lingyu joined forces, they were definitely not his opponents. So the only choice was to run away.
"You can't run away."
A cold laugh came from the shadow behind him, and then the black sword energy in the shadow shot out like a rainstorm, all hitting Chen Zhong's back. Chen Zhong could only take all the attacks, because he couldn't stop. Once he stopped and was entangled by the masked warrior, then only death would be waiting for him. ..
Chen Zhong was hit hard, and the emperor's energy mixed with the emperor's blood continued to leak out, and his figure became much more stagnant. The masked warrior sneered: "You are finished!"
Then a black spike quickly protruded from the shadow, piercing Chen Zhong's head faster than Chen Zhong.
Ruan Lingyu bit her tongue, ready to burn the emperor's blood and squeeze the potential to fight to the death. However, at this time, a figure fell in the air, and a Tai Chi seal suppressed it in the air, above the black shadow.
The masked warrior was shocked and quickly got out of the shadow and retreated a hundred feet away. Chen Zhong and Ruan Lingyu looked back and saw that it was Emperor Mo Feng who rescued them.
The masked warrior stood in the vast field, with rolling black air constantly lingering around him.
"Mo Feng, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."
Emperor Mo Feng said, "With me here, you won't succeed."
The masked warrior hesitated for a moment, then turned and disappeared into the void.
"This guy retreated neatly." Emperor Mo Feng looked at the direction where the masked warrior disappeared and fell into deep thought.
"Brother Mo Feng, today is really thanks to you. If you hadn't come in time, my husband and I would probably have died here." Chen Zhong said breathlessly. He had not fully recovered to begin with, and after such a toss, his physical condition was even worse.
Emperor Mo Feng said, "What is the identity of the person who is chasing you?"
Chen Zhong said, "I don't know either."
"But no one should want to kill you for no reason." Emperor Mo Feng said.
Ruan Lingyu said, "Brother Mo Feng, you know us. Since we lived in the Tomb of Eternity, we have hardly offended anyone. Apart from Broken Sword, we definitely have no other enemies."
"The masked warrior just now is definitely not Broken Sword. This person's strength is above Broken Sword, and he is probably not much less than Li Hanxue." Emperor Mo Feng said with a serious face.
Chen Zhong felt even more confused: "How could we provoke such a person? To be honest, I am confused about being chased today."
Emperor Mo Feng said: "Let's go to my house first, and we will talk about this matter slowly and in detail."
"Okay."
Emperor Mo Feng took Chen Zhong and Ruan Lingyu to his own empire. Chen Zhong's residence could not be returned, and the couple did not dare to go back now. If the masked warrior was still ambushing there, they would die if they went back. It would be much safer to stay in Emperor Mo Feng's empire.
Emperor Mo Feng said: "Do you really have no clues?"
Chen Zhong thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought of one thing in his mind, that is, giving the mysterious box to Li Hanxue. But this matter should have nothing to do with the box. If the other party really came for the box, he should have killed people and seized the treasure long ago. Why wait until now?
Chen Zhong shook his head and said, "No."
Emperor Mo Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Then you were hunted down for no apparent reason."
Chen Zhong sighed helplessly, "Maybe it's just bad luck. Brother Mo Feng, please lend us the precious land so that we can stay for a while. We will go back after the storm has passed."
Emperor Mo Feng said: "It's okay. Before we find out the true identity of the murderer, I don't feel comfortable letting you go back like this."
Ruan Lingyu said: "Why don't we think of a plan to lure the masked man to attack, and then we set a trap to ambush him?"
Emperor Mo Feng shook his head and said: "No."
"Why?"
"I just said that this man is as strong as Li Hanxue. Unless we find a strong man at the level of Emperor to help, it is impossible to catch him, and we may even be seriously injured by him." Emperor Mo Feng said.
"Then don't we have no way?" Ruan Lingyu's face was full of worry. If she couldn't catch the murderer, she would not be at peace for a moment.
Emperor Mo Feng said: "Don't be impatient, there will always be a way."
After the assassination failed, the masked warrior returned to the Du Tian Realm. He was received by an unknown high-level Emperor of Du Tian Realm.
"How did it go?"
"Emperor Mo Feng came at a very bad time and failed to kill Chen Zhong." The masked warrior said.
"I'm asking about the box on Chen Zhong's body!"
"I didn't get it either." The masked warrior was puzzled, "Sir, since the higher-ups value this box so much, why didn't they fight for it earlier? And if you personally took action..."
