Xu Jinhua is a handsome-looking middle-aged man with three strands of clear beard under his chin. At this time, he was stroking his beard and frowning: "Madam, what happened?"
Li Feiyan said softly: "There may be assassins. Master, please continue to sleep. I will go out and take a look."
"Let's go and take a look." Xu Jinhua said solemnly.
The two of them got dressed, pushed the door open, and saw Ding Xingqing standing outside, wearing a black shirt, blending in with the surrounding night.
Under the moonlight, her beautiful face was slightly sunken, and her eyes were shining brightly.
Xu Jinhua felt that there was a cold air on her body. She was obviously a very beautiful girl, but she gave people a dangerous feeling.
"Uncle Master." Ding Xingqing said: "An assassin has been solved."
"Looking for me?"
Ding Xingqing looked at Xu Jinhua: "I should be looking for Mr. Xu."
Xu Jinhua frowned: "Looking for me?"
"He is a master from a small sect." Ding Xingqing said: "The swordsman from Beijiang Sword Sect came to assassinate Lord Xu in order to avenge the elders of the sect."
"Beijiang Sword Sect..." Xu Jinhua thought for a while and finally shook his head: "I have never heard of such a sect."
As the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel, he had nothing to do with punishment, only the promotion of officials. I really can't think of where he got the hatred.
Ding Xingqing said: "Maybe Mr. Xu did it unintentionally."
"Master Nephew Ding, have you checked carefully?" Li Feiyan said: "Who is he looking for? Is he really the master?"
"Yes." Ding Xingqing said: "He insisted that he wanted to take revenge on Master Xu, saying that Master Xu had harmed his senior brother."
"Inexplicable." Xu Jinhua snorted, "Just throw it to the city guards."
"Yes." Ding Xingqing agreed: "Uncle Master, Mr. Xu, you should go back and rest. There is nothing to see."
"Let me meet the assassin." Xu Jinhua said.
He always felt inexplicable that he had offended someone for no reason and was being assassinated. It was so unjust.
"Where to go!" A voice echoed through the night sky.
Ding Xingqing frowned.
"Junior sister Ding, the three guys, divide into three groups!" came a shout from a distance.
Ding Xingqing stood next to Li Feiyan and Xu Jinhua and said softly: "Uncle Master, Mr. Xu, go back to the house!"
Li Feiyan turned around and went back to the house. Seeing this, Xu Jinhua didn't try to be brave and followed him back. However, at the door, he saw Li Feiyan walking out again with a sword in hand.
"lady!"
"Master, please go into the house first, and I'll help them!"
"Madam, you haven't done anything for a long time, how can you still do it?" Xu Jinhua said solemnly: "Forget it."
"We can't let them do it on their own, I just sit there obediently." Li Feiyan shook her head.
"Madam, just sit down and help." Xu Jinhua said: "Although you feel sorry, but if you feel comfortable, they will suffer, and you will be unhelpful!"
"Master!" Li Feiyan glared at him dissatisfied.
Xu Jinhua said: "Madam, tell me how often you don't have time to practice martial arts. I know that martial arts is a thing that cannot be practiced without practicing for a day, let alone how long it has been since you practiced!"
"...My skills haven't fallen yet." Li Feiyan hummed, "My cultivation is still there."
If the cultivation level is not there, it is impossible to stay young forever, so I have never relaxed in practicing the mental method.
However, all the time can only be spent on maintaining the practice of mind skills, and the practice of sword skills and palm skills fell behind.
Moreover, as Mrs. Gaoming, she had no chance to take action. She had her own bodyguards, so there was no need to waste her time.
If you have this time, why don't you practice more mental methods, or get together with other wives of Gaoming, chat, communicate and enhance your relationship.
This will also help Xu Jinhua's promotion.
Xu Jinhua grabbed her lapel.
"Master!" Li Feiyan stomped her feet: "Hurry up, let go, I have to help!"
"Don't go!" Xu Jinhua said: "I don't want to lose my wife at this time, so I'd better stay here honestly."
"You..." Li Feiyan blushed with anger.
But she couldn't use force, lest she hurt Xu Jinhua. Xu Jinhua's cultivation was too shallow and he couldn't resist a blow of his own.
Ding Xingqing's eyes suddenly brightened, turning into a hazy shadow and shooting at the two of them. She waved her long sword and the cold light surged.
Two masked men in black pounced on her with swords.
"Bang bang!" Ding Xingqing's long sword was just a cover. It was suddenly thrown out, and then lightly hit the two men in black with both palms.
They didn't expect that Ding Xingqing's movements were so agile, nor did they expect that her palms were so strange. Their attention was diverted away by the long sword, and they received a solid slap and flew into the wall.
They slid down softly and lost the ability to continue.
Five women fluttered down from the wall, as light as feathers.
"Senior Sister Ding, we have already captured it."
"Get it here."
"yes."
The five women floated over the wall again, and soon turned over again, carrying eight people in their hands, and threw them into the center of the yard.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The eight people fell to the ground like mud, and the ground shook several times.
"Senior Sister Ding, it's them."
Ding Xingqing looked at Li Feiyan, who was standing at the threshold of the house, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I have taken them all."
Only then did Xu Jinhua let go of his hand.
Li Feiyan glared at him angrily, came to Ding Xingqing's side, pointed her long sword at the eight in front of her, and then pointed at the two under the wall: "Are they in the same group?"
They were all dressed in black attire, with black scarves covering their faces. They were dressed in standard night-walker style. It was hard to say they were in the same group.
Ding Xingqing nodded slightly: "They are in a group and divided into three groups. They must have a careful plan."
"It's a pity that they didn't expect Master Ding and nephews to be here." Li Feiyan said with a smile: "I have to thank you very much this time, otherwise, our husband and wife would really be in trouble!"
If they were able to break in, the guards in the mansion obviously didn't stop them. Looking at the movement and sword skills of the two of them just now, I might not be able to cope with them.
If you can't do it yourself, then your husband can't do it either, so tonight we became a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate.
It doesn't matter if I die, I'm afraid they won't spare the others in the house and kill Hui'er and the three of them too.
Then you will die with your eyes closed.
"Uncle Master, there is no need to thank us," Ding Xingqing said: "It was the deputy sect leader's clever calculation that they would come and assassinate you, Uncle Master Li."
Li Feiyan smiled and said: "I want to thank you both as deputy sect leader...who are these guys?"
Ding Xingqing said: "According to the calculations of the deputy sect leader, he belongs to the Nine Yuan Holy Sect."
"Nine Yuan Holy Sect, what a coward!" Xu Jinhua snorted coldly.
Ding Xingqing nodded: "They are all crazy people, and they have to pull a few people to support them before they die."
She stretched out her hand.
A girl flew lightly to the wall, pulled out a sword, flew back to Ding Xingqing, and handed the sword to her.
Ding Xingqing took the sword, came to a masked man in black, and stabbed it directly into the heart of the masked man in black.
The masked man in black glared at him, his eyes gradually dimming.
Ding Xingqing came to the second masked man in black and stabbed him again in the heart, stabbing him to death.
Li Feiyan opened her mouth, but closed it again.
Xu Jinhua watched with cold eyes, but secretly sighed in his heart, who said that all the disciples of the Jade Butterfly Sect are as gentle as water, kind and pure.
This Ding Xingqing is not like this.
Ding Xingqing stopped in front of the third man in black and said calmly: "Are you, the Nine-Yuan Holy Sect, trying to pull us Jade Butterfly Sect disciples into the background?"
As she spoke, she lightly tapped the man in black on the shoulder with her sword.
The man in black immediately untied his acupuncture point and sneered: "You bitch, you are useless, you can't escape."
"So, if you don't succeed this time, there will be another group of people who insist on killing us Jade Butterfly Sect disciples, right?"
"You will soon go down to keep us company!" The man in black sneered without fear: "You will die miserably, and you can't wait to die early!"
Ding Xingqing nodded lightly: "I am really too scared to kill you. I want to kneel down and beg for mercy from you."
As she spoke, she gently moved the sword, and the tip of the sword pierced the heart of the man in black, stabbing him to death again.
Ding Xingqing came to the fourth man in black.
The fourth man in black closed his eyes, too lazy to say anything more.
Ding Xingqing did not kill him, but came to the fifth man in black and looked at him. The man in black smiled proudly and closed his eyes.
Ding Xingqing came to the sixth one, then the seventh one, and then the eighth one. Without stopping, she pointed to the base of the wall.
The two girls stepped forward, slipped the two black clothes under the wall, and threw them at Ding Xingqing's feet.
"Bang! Bang!" The two fell to the ground hard.
Ding Xingqing shook her head and said: "If you still want to assassinate someone with your level of cultivation, you must have some special tricks, right? Your acupuncture points are not sealed, so you might as well use them."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly flicked her sleeves.
Two men in black flew into the air.
"Boom! Boom!" A slight sound came from the bodies of the two men in black, and then they suddenly expanded.
They let out a wild laugh, accelerated suddenly, and rushed towards Ding Xingqing, intending to kill her for revenge.
Ding Xingqing flashed lightly, avoiding the palms of the two people lightly and freely, appeared behind one person, and patted him on the back.
"Bang!" The man received a hard slap, turned around and punched without caring.
Ding Xingqing dodged and then struck him with another palm behind him.
"Bang!" The man didn't care yet and turned around again, but was slapped again.
Ding Xingqing's movement skills were wonderful, and she was always behind him like a shadow, hitting him with slap after slap, but it seemed like she couldn't hurt him.
Another man in black rushed towards Li Feiyan.
The man in black's cultivation level has increased several times compared to the previous one, his body skills are extremely fast, the wind from his palms roars, and a strong wind rises in the whole courtyard.
The five girls flashed lightly and blocked Li Feiyan behind them. Five long swords were thrust out at the same time, using different moves from different directions.
The man in black was stabbed several times in the blink of an eye.
Li Feiyan's bright eyes widened in disbelief.
When did the swordsmanship within the sect become so exquisite?
In particular, the five of them cooperated mysteriously with an inexplicable rhythm, which turned the Jade Butterfly Sect's swordsmanship from decay into magic, and its power increased several times.
She understands this wonderful change very well.
By cooperating with each other, the shortcomings of the Jade Butterfly Sect's swordsmanship are compensated and the advantages of the swordsmanship are amplified.
But how exactly they work together, I can't explain clearly, it's all a bit confusing, I just feel it's mysterious and unpredictable.
The man in black who rushed over turned into a bloody gourd in an instant, with blood holes all over his body oozing out, turning into a bloody man in the blink of an eye.
He stood upright on the spot, proud and unyielding.
The five girls stood in front of Li Feiyan with swords. They did not relax their vigilance, but ignored the dead man in black and looked at Ding Xingqing's opponent.
Ding Xingqing had been following behind the man in black, and struck out with a palm, but there was nothing unusual about the man in black, as if he was not the one who was hit.
Li Feiyan asked curiously: "Master Nephew Jiang, what kind of sword technique is this?"
A girl holding a sword said crisply: "Uncle Master, this is the sword formation passed down by the deputy sect leader."
"Deputy Sect Leader..." Li Feiyan nodded lightly.
She didn't actually take the deputy sect master seriously at first.
After all, the focus and energy are placed on the palace, on the officialdom, on her husband and children, and not so much on the Jade Butterfly Sect.
Regarding the changes within the sect, the third nephew became the sect leader. She knew about it, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
In her opinion, no matter who is the sect leader, the Jade Butterfly Sect has always been the Jade Butterfly Sect, and there is no change.
Although the deputy sect master also heard about it, he didn't care.
The sect leader doesn't even care, let alone the deputy sect leader.
This time Ding Xingqing came over. She listened to the deputy sect master several times and couldn't help but become interested. She vaguely felt that the deputy sect master's prestige was extremely high. It seemed that Ding Xingqing and the others only had the deputy sect master in their eyes, not the sect leader.
But when she saw that the sword skills of these five girls were actually sword formations taught by the deputy sect master, she was immediately shocked.
Because the Jade Butterfly Sect does not have a sword formation.
This sword formation can elevate the Jade Butterfly Sect's swordsmanship to several levels, from second-rate swordsmanship to top-notch swordsmanship, which shows its mystery.
The deputy sect master knew that such a sword formation was obviously obtained by his own chance encounters, but he was able to teach it to his fellow sects, so he was very generous.
"Have all the disciples in our sect practiced this sword formation?"
"Yes." Jiang Miaomiao said crisply: "Everyone has practiced this small dust sword formation. The small dust sword formation is amazing, isn't it, uncle?"
"It's really amazing." Li Feiyan said with emotion: "The deputy sect master is so generous."
"The deputy sect master is really brilliant, and everyone admires him." Jiang Miaomiao said with a smile: "He doesn't hesitate to give everyone guidance on weekdays. We have all made rapid progress. If it weren't for the deputy sect master, our current cultivation level would be far behind."
"No wonder..." Li Feiyan nodded.
Ding Xingqing hit the palm of the man in black again and suddenly floated back.
"Bang bang bang bang..." The muffled sound sounded continuously, coming from the body of the man in black.
The man in black had stopped where he was, his body shaking with every muffled sound, shaking a little with each sound.
When the muffled sound stopped, the man in black fell to the ground softly, as if his bones had been removed.
Ding Xingqing nodded and returned to Li Feiyan: "Their secret technique is indeed powerful. The speed is increased by half, the strength is doubled, and the defense is tripled. It is really a powerful secret technique."
"Jiuding Zhenyuan Jue." Jiang Miaomiao said: "Senior Sister Ding, is this the Jiuding Zhenyuan Jue?"
"It should be." Ding Xingqing said: "The Jiuding Zhenyuan Jue is already very popular. It is not a small person. Such a person must be kept alive."
He looked at Li Feiyan: "Uncle, the deputy sect leader originally ordered that the powerful figures of the Nine Yuan Holy Sect should be kept alive..."
"Okay, if you don't want to kill, we won't kill." Li Feiyan said: "We have killed enough."
Ding Xingqing smiled: "Don't worry, they will not escape death. It's just that the deputy sect master wants to figure out the Jiuding Zhenyuan secret."
"The deputy sect master has such great ambitions." Li Feiyan said: "I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
"There is nothing the deputy sect master wants to do that cannot be done." Ding Xingqing smiled and said, "I will definitely get the Jiuding Zhenyuan Secret."
Jiang Miaomiao said: "By then, the strength of our Jade Butterfly Sect will have greatly increased."
Ding Xingqing smiled.
Li Feiyan sighed with emotion: "I hope the deputy sect master can get his wish!"
Ding Xingqing waved her hand: "Junior Sister Feng, keep an eye on him."
She looked at Li Feiyan again: "Uncle, let's kill the rest. They are all little people."
"..." Li Feiyan hesitated.
Ding Xingqing said: "Uncle Master, the imperial court has a martial arts order. If these dead guys are included in the Xu Mansion, it will be a huge reward."
"How embarrassing." Li Feiyan shook her head and smiled: "Okay, first report it in the name of the government, and the reward will be sent to you."
Ding Xingqing wanted to talk again, but was blocked by Li Feiyan, so she could only agree in the end.
