The crossbow was taken away, and the archer instinctively raised his hand to fight back.
But the person who came didn't give him any room to fight back. In the next moment, his throat was grabbed with fingers.
"Who are you?" Xia Zhaoyi said in a low voice.
The clear and sweet girl's voice surprised the archer.
"If you don't say anything, I won't be able to hold this crossbow." Xia Zhaoyi said again.
The archer's two companions who were nearby rushed over. Seeing this, they did not dare to step forward easily.
"Who are you?" the archer asked angrily.
"I'll count to three," Xia Zhaoyi looked at him, "I want to hear the truth."
The archer was quiet for a moment, and then said: "We are Shen Lie people."
"Who is Shen Lie?" Xia Zhaoyi said.
"Yunliang Shen family, Zuilu Guo family, don't you know them?"
"...Oh," Xia Zhaoyi said, "I'm sorry."
Her slender fingers loosened, and the crossbow hit the ground hard with a "pop" sound.
The archer's eyes widened, and in the next moment, the cloth covering his face was ripped off by the opponent.
He rushed to fight back, but Xia Zhaoyi stepped back.
Appearing to be in his forties, this face is easily recognizable among the taller people.
Xia Zhaoyi glanced at him, then turned and ran into the darkness before his fellow archers fired crossbows.
The loud sound of the crossbow falling to the ground immediately attracted all attention.
Except for the officers and soldiers, the people in black around them were also shocked.
Not to mention saving others, it is very likely that you will be involved in it.
Xia Zhaoyi didn't run far away. Seeing the men in black escaping hastily and the soldiers coming with torches from afar, her eyes turned to the bodies of the men in black who were knocked down by them on the other side.
He was a hidden nightwalker, and the place where his body fell was in an extremely remote corner.
After thinking for a while, she walked over silently, leaned over and took off the cloth that covered her face.
Before he could see clearly in the dim light, there was a sound of footsteps approaching behind him.
A blast of punch came at him, Xia Zhaoyi quickly avoided it and raised his hand to fight back.
The attacker struck out quickly and violently, with heavy punches. Xia Zhaoyi dodged them all, and suddenly turned from defense to attack. He grabbed the opponent's wrist, twisted his fingers, and used the skill of force to directly remove the opponent's arm.
The severe pain of dislocation made the man groan, but when he saw a bright white light in the darkness, the cold dagger immediately pressed against his neck.
Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Which group are you from? Are the accomplices of the corpse on the ground, the group that ran away just now, or another group?"
After saying that, Xia Zhaoyi felt familiar. She skillfully pulled off the cloth covering her face and raised her eyebrows.
It was the brother I saw outside the city today, who was leaving with his brother's body on his back.
At this time, I heard the sound of officers and soldiers approaching from behind.
Xia Zhaoyi took back the dagger and grabbed the big man who was sweating from the pain of dislocation: "Let's go!"
The big man resisted for a while, but finally cooperated.
The government office was in chaos, and the several gates were full of soldiers and horses running around. But listening to the noise, it seemed that the streets were even more chaotic.
Xia Zhaoyi came here tonight to wait and see, so naturally she wouldn't leave.
The big man was sweating profusely in pain, biting his teeth so hard that he wished he could strangle the girl to death.
Xia Zhaoyi ignored him and kept looking outside.
It seemed to be really lively, because she saw several men in black leaving, one after another, and she didn't know how many groups they were.
"Are you here to save people too?" the big man asked in a low voice.
"What about you?" Xia Zhaoyi asked casually without turning around.
The big man estimated that he had a chance of winning in a sneak attack on this girl, but in the previous confrontation, he even felt that the other party did not use all his strength.
"Well," the big man responded, "I'm here to save people too."
"...Oh." Xia Zhaoyi said without much interest.
Suddenly, I seemed to smell a burst of blood under my nose.
She turned back: "Are you hurt?"
His eyes fell on the opponent's left rib, and there was a darker color on his clothes.
"Small injury." The man gritted his teeth and said.
Xia Zhaoyi nodded. It didn't look like he was injured now. Thinking back to the set of punches just now, he was still so strong and powerful even when he was injured.
She withdrew her gaze and continued to look outside.
The big man continued to observe her. Although he could sense that her hostility and murderous intent were not strong, he was still uneasy after all.
Just... let's give it a try.
The big man took a deep breath and touched the dagger hidden in his boot with his other hand, while saying, "I came alone, where is your companion?"
"I'm alone, too." Xia Zhaoyi said.
The big man nodded, holding the dagger with his fingers, and with a fierce look in his eyes, he was about to pull it out.
Xia Zhaoyi turned around: "I'll help you take your arm, you can go."
The big man changed his face and looked at her with a guilty conscience.
The girl directly reached out, grabbed his arm that collapsed in pain, and lifted it up. With a sound of bones cracking, she returned his arm to its original position.
This technique, the big man has to say, is truly unique.
"Farewell." Xia Zhaoyi said, stood up and left.
The big man was afraid of her tricks and stared at her closely, but he saw that she really just left like that. He jumped up to a water tank lightly, and then like a swallow, he climbed up the eaves nimbly.
The big man gasped, then closed his eyes and raised his head against the low wall.
After finally regaining his strength, he pushed himself up and planned to explore the current situation.
Just when he reached out to the Qingji courtyard door, a gust of wind came from behind his ears. He quickly turned around to block it, while at the same time he was shouting in his heart that he was unlucky.
Just now he was sneak-attacking someone, but soon the situation changed and he was sneak-attacked!
Not that girl, but a lean man who was taller than him.
But her moves were much more ruthless than that of the girl just now.
The big man's boxing and kicking skills were not weak, but now he was attacked by a sneak attack, and then he was completely led into the opponent's rhythm.
He finally found an opportunity to punch, but was tightly suppressed by the opponent.
Suddenly, he was punched in the face and fell to the wall behind him.
The other party reached over and pulled off the gauze on his face.
The big man saw the right moment and hit him with a palm. The opponent easily avoided it and was about to grab his neck. At this moment, a stone suddenly hit him from a distance.
The opponent turned his head and avoided the stone.
Immediately afterwards, the big man saw the girl who had just left running towards him quickly.
The man who was holding him wanted to give him a final blow, but the big man hurriedly avoided the vital point, and immediately after, the man was entangled by the girl.
Both men's moves are very fast. Under the moonlight, they can do dozens of moves in an instant, which is an excellent close combat technique.
One side attacks with force and swiftness, while the other side dodges and retreats in order to advance.
The big man looked at them, knowing that the girl would definitely find the best time to give the opponent a fatal blow.
But what he didn't expect was that after fighting for a while, the girl suddenly retreated far away.
At the same time, the opponent also stopped his momentum and retreated.
The big man was covering his bleeding wound, looking at them, thinking about how to join forces with the girl.
Xia Zhaoyi gasped and frowned slightly.
The thin man in black was stunned over there.
After a while, a clear voice came from the darkness: "... Ah, Ah Li?"
