Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1014 - 606: Assassination! (Dou Han and He’s Jade +)_2
Li Ling and the others disappeared, unknown whether they were killed or escaped amidst the chaos.
Nevertheless, Sui Yi and Fu Zhuo genuinely had no extra mind to care about them.
Blub blub blub, underwater chills, Sui Yi and the other chose to swim upstream!
However, at this moment, they suddenly felt a strong scent of blood in the water.
It was the front person pierced by arrows shot from above the water.
Swish swish swish!
Arrows shot into the water from above.
Those fleeing in the water could only swim downward. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
At that moment, shadowy figures chased closely from behind, dressed in black water gear, quickly coming to assassinate them one by one from behind.
Thud thud thud!
One after another, being killed!
In the end, only Sui Yi and Fu Zhuo along with the group from Dali Temple were at the forefront...
Splash splash!
They arrived!
Fu Zhuo slightly sobered from the effects of the lake’s icy water, turned to find the assassins behind already engaged in combat with Dali Temple’s men.
Yuchi Zheng indeed possessed extraordinary strength, striking ruthlessly, killing several assassins in the blink of an eye.
However, these assassins seemed extraordinarily adept in water.
Soon they bypassed Dali Temple’s men and headed towards the two of them!
No, their target appeared to be Sui Yi!
A dozen assassins with formidable skills besieged Sui Yi, Fu Zhuo reflexively prepared to draw her sword, however, just as her sword emerged.
A stream of sword flow ring-cut through these assassins’ necks.
Moreover, several sword flows twisted in arcs, bouncing like bows, eerily bypassing Yuchi Zheng and the others, killing the assassins coming from behind.
Blood stains spread.
Such terrifying swordsmanship!
The members of Dali Temple, including Yuchi Zheng, were astonished.
Underwater, sunlight from the surface could still penetrate down, revealing half darkness and half azure, with an unidentified woman suspended in the water, her right hand holding a hook sword, the sword emerging with a dragon-like water color, as if the underwater resistance was no hindrance to her.
Water ghost?
No breathing bubbles from her mouth or nose!
Waterborne sword fairy demon spirit?
Fu Zhuo suddenly recalled the fish that carried this person upon their first meeting, and couldn’t help but furrow her brow, could this truly be not a human?
Meanwhile, Sui Yi glanced back at Fu Zhuo, eyes indifferent.
Fu Zhuo suddenly stiffened, dispelling the strange thoughts from her mind.
Sui Yi accelerated forward, breaking through the encirclement and slaying these assassins by force.
Soon, they submerged completely into the darkness.
————————
After a quarter of an hour.
On a large ship above the water, Yuwen Huaji stood on the deck, coldly observing Li Ling and the others suppressed to the ground.
"Sir, we were just about to interrogate them when we discovered they had already committed suicide using poison hidden in their teeth,"
Reported the subordinates, prompting Yuwen Huaji to raise an eyebrow as he rotated the thumb ring on his finger, and he said lightly, "This style somewhat resembles that group’s... Forget it, they’re merely disposable men without access to any vital information... Just eliminate everyone here."
Suddenly, one of the assassins from underwater.
A man half-knelt on the ground.
Yuwen Huaji observed them... "Judging by your appearance, you failed to kill Yuchi Zheng and the others, eh? Give me a reason not to kill you."
"Sir, upon Yuchi Zheng and others entering the water, we instinctively intercepted him, but one of the targets, the mysterious house owner’s swordsmanship, was exceptional; it allowed her to act effortlessly underwater, easily killing thirty of our hidden agents."
This statement caused Yuwen Huaji to raise an eyebrow, "The mysterious woman mentioned in the secret message? Capable of killing thirty of you in one go, she stands out among the first-rate masters in Jianghu."
"Ha~" Yuwen Huaji took out the secret message, glanced at the informant’s content, squinted suddenly: "Dali Temple’s people are driven by Yang Su, that old ghost’s remnants, and these two are part of that group~~"
"Sir, we’ve killed many of them already; tracking their origins might now be difficult."
"Nothing worthy of investigation anyway, as Yang Su’s old man’s been dead for a month, and the treasure’s news won’t remain hidden for long. After today’s incident, more forces will surely come forward tomorrow, rendering investigations unnecessary."
"You’re right sir, but the house indeed belongs to Zheng Long, should we search it?"
"No need,"
Yuwen Huaji furrowed his eyebrows, coldly sneered: "There’s definitely nothing inside; if there were, it would’ve been taken already."
"The rumor of Yang Su’s treasure isn’t false."
He pondered for a bit.
Yuwen Huaji crushed the secret message in his palm, voice icy: "None today shall escape; as for the secret message’s origin, make sure to investigate thoroughly!"
"As for the Dali Temple... has Shihe arranged everything?"
Yuwen Huaji’s trusted subordinate, Zhang Shihe, smiled: "After the Lord returns, he can hear the news of Dali Temple’s sub-decree Yuchi Zheng’s collusion with traitors."
"Very good."
Then Zhang Shihe released a fish arrow towards the sky, which exploded in the sky, spewing red powder.
The assassins underwater, upon hearing and seeing this, knew what to do next.
Continue the chase!
--------
On the wooden platform by the lakeside house, a hand suddenly emerged from the water, gripping the wood, the person climbing onto the wood.
It was Fu Zhuo.
She gasped heavily, hearing a faint splash, turned to see Sui Yi standing calmly on the platform, with water dripping all over, but compared to her disheveled state, the other appeared much calmer. And at this moment, tilting her head, the long silky hair hung to one side, and as she gently brushed it with her fingertips, a substantial amount of water streamed down from the ends...
Like enchanted.
Pure and exquisite, with gentle eyebrows, eyes shining like stars, stood like a waterborne Spirit God.
"You’re not human."
Fu Zhuo’s sudden words made Sui Yi pause, looking over lightly, with a somewhat strange expression: "Why are you cursing me?" (To be continued.
