When the wind of the knife approached, he stepped lightly and moved away instantly.
With a snap, Feng Jiuer's blade forced the man in black back, and her slender white figure stood on the roof in an instant.
Leng Su's face was still expressionless, he just stared at Jian Yi coldly: "Who are you?
What is the purpose of breaking into my Tianji Hall at night?"
Jian Yi didn't answer. He drew out his long sword with a swipe sound and stabbed Feng Jiu'er with one sword.
This sword seems ordinary, but it is clear that even the attack does not feel fast.
But just looking at the slow sword, when you want to block it, you suddenly find that there are thousands of changes in it, and the sword energy has already been rushing in from all directions.
Feng Jiuer was a little shocked. Although the man in black's Qinggong was better than hers, it was not unfathomable.
But his swordsmanship was the best among all the people she had ever seen! She suddenly thought of how many times she had come out of the palace and vaguely felt the aura of being followed behind her. Could it be that this was him?
Feng Jiuer just hesitated, Jian Yi's long sword was already in front of him.
She raised her hand hard and slashed out with the short knife.
But she couldn't see where the opponent's long sword came from. The sword energy came from all directions, and the edge was so dazzling that she couldn't see through it. She could only rely on her own guesses and feelings to resist it.
It must be said that Feng Jiuer's intuition has always been particularly accurate.
With a clang, the short knife actually hit the long sword. She backed away as fast as possible, feeling a faint burning breath on her arm. Although she intuitively guessed the true location of the opponent's long sword, she was still struck by his sword energy.
Injured.
Jian Yi never expected that Feng Jiu could block his long sword. When he drew the sword, he was clearly still doubtful.
Not far away, a person came quickly.
Jianyi narrowed his eyes, turned around, and disappeared under the night.
Xue Gu came to Feng Jiu'er and saw that Jiu'er was not seriously injured, so she immediately chased in the direction where the man in black left.
Jiu'er said anxiously: "Don't chase the poor bandits!"
Xue Gu glanced in that direction again. Under the night sky, the figure of the man in black had long disappeared. Even if she wanted to chase him, she was afraid that she would not be able to catch him.
"Jiu'er, how are you?
Is the injury serious?"
He went over to support Feng Jiuer and the two returned to the room.
Jiu'er shook his head: "It's okay, it's just a little skin injury, just bandage it and it'll be fine."
"Who is he?
Have you seen what it looks like?"
The man in black was covered with a black scarf. When Xue Gu passed by, he had already left. Xue Gu could not see him at all.
As for looking at Jiu'er bandaging herself now, Xue Gu can't help.
Her own bandaging skills are better than others' help, her movements are neat, and there is no hindrance at all due to one-handed bandaging.
Feng Jiuer shook his head and said while bandaging his wounds: "I only know that his swordsmanship is very powerful, better than anyone I have ever seen."
"Could it be that he is more powerful than the Ninth Prince and Mu Mu?"
Feng Jiuer has met so many people, and they are like a cloud of masters! If you want to say that he is better than anyone else, then the opponent's swordsmanship is really incredible.
Feng Jiuer nodded and said: "More powerful than them, but this light skill and internal skill should not be comparable to Uncle Nine Emperors and Mu Mu."
Xue Gu narrowed her eyes, thought deeply for a moment, and suddenly frowned and said: "As far as I know, there has been such a young killer in the world in recent years."
Although Xue Gu has lived in Snow Lotus Mountain for many years, in the more than half a year since she came down from the mountain, she has already inquired about the affairs of the world again.
"Have you ever heard of Jue Yan?"
she asked.
Feng Jiuer raised his head and glanced at her, then lowered his head and continued to bandage himself, but his expression was a bit solemn.
"Is it the killer who received the killing order and wanted to assassinate Zhan Yuheng, the number one killer in Beimu Country, Jie Yan?"
Xue Gu didn't know whether she had received the killing order and wanted to assassinate Zhan Yuheng.
When the prince was assassinated in the imperial city, Xue Gu had not yet entered the world again.
But now that I heard Feng Jiuer say this, it was most likely the same person.
"But I haven't heard of any killing orders related to you in this world. Why would Jue Yan come to assassinate you?"
"There is no guarantee that someone will give me money and take my life."
Feng Jiuer didn't find it strange at all.
Killers, don’t they all receive money from others to eliminate disasters for others?
Are there still few people who want her life these days?
"But if he is really Jue Yan, most people can't afford to hire him."
The person who can be hailed as the number one killer in Beimu Country is definitely not an ordinary person. It is impossible to hire him with just a small profit.
"I don't think he wanted to kill me at first. I couldn't feel his murderous intent."
This is what Feng Jiuer is most confused about: "Even when he drew his sword, I could feel that he was showing mercy."
Otherwise, just relying on my own intuition, I can really only be slightly injured by Jue Yan's sword, which is impossible even if I think about it.
So, what is the reason why the top master of Beimu Country comes here?
"Xue Gu, do you still remember what I mentioned to you several times before?
When I came out of the palace, I could occasionally feel someone following me."
"Do you think the person following you is Jue Yan?"
However, why is a killer not killing, but just stalking?
"I'm not sure, but I can't rule out the possibility."
This feeling of being watched is like tonight.
However, Jue Yan was careless tonight and moved the rubble on the roof, making her notice immediately.
In the previous few times, he never made a move or chased too close, so she still had to rely on intuition to feel that there was someone behind her.
"He...has he always been in the palace?"
Otherwise, why do I always feel his presence when I just leave the palace?
But how could a killer live in the palace?
"Could it be that he still wants to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Feng Jiuer's heart tightened. In any case, she and Zhan Yuheng were just acquaintances. If Zhan Yuheng was assassinated, she would not be able to bear it.
"I don't think so."
Xue Gu shook her head and said: "If he really lives in the palace, then as long as he has not been discovered for more than half a year, how can he not have the chance to assassinate the prince?"
But until now, isn’t the prince still alive and well?
That means that Jueyan's purpose of staying in the palace is not for this.
Feng Jiu'er really couldn't understand. If it wasn't for this, could there be someone in the palace who Jie Yan knew?
Who is it?
That masked lady with a mysterious identity?
However, if the Masked Lady wanted to kill her, she could have done it directly in Liyuan when her legs were healed, without the help of anyone else.
The person Jie Yan met in the palace was not the Masked Empress, so who was it?
