Several rays of cold light were like the god of death opening its fangs in the dark night and shooting towards him.
Li Shengjia and her sister were shot and killed indiscriminately.
"Just a hair's breadth."
Li Shengjia shouted.
A bronze-colored 'Book of Life and Souls' appeared in his palm, and the pages flipped, overflowing with wonderful power.
The dark silver flying knife was supposed to hit, but at the critical moment, its trajectory was slightly reversed, and it pierced the tips of his and his sister's hair before flying towards them.
A biting chill passed by.
There was blood flowing from Li Shengjia's temples.
"Go quickly."
He didn't bother to check his injuries, pushed his sister away, and shouted: "You are as light as a swallow."
"elder brother……"
The little girl shouted, and her body flew a hundred meters away. She was as light as a swallow, as if she had no weight.
Li Shengjia didn't look back, and continued to flip through the 'Book of Life and Soul', saying: "Earth bound...swamp...slow."
All the 'Secret Techniques of Proverbs' that could be used were unleashed in one breath.
The bronze 'Book of Life and Soul' bloomed brightly in the night, as if it was burning.
The four ghostly assassins felt that their reactions were a little slow for a moment. Their legs seemed to be bound by some invisible vines, and the ground suddenly turned into a swamp, and their legs sank into the ground.
Blood was already pouring out of Li Shengjia's mouth and nose.
This is the price of forcibly activating the overloaded ‘Secret Technique of Proverbs’ continuously.
But he had to.
In the moment of the fight, Li Shengjia realized the opponent's origin and knew that there was a huge difference in strength, and it was absolutely impossible for him to escape.
Therefore, he burned the "Book of Life and Soul" and burned his own cultivation, just to try to give his sister a chance to survive.
"She doesn't know anything... If I die, please let her go."
Li Shengjia begged loudly.
But the ghost assassin on the opposite side showed no mercy or hesitation.
Their hearts are as hard as iron and as cold as ice.
One of them activated some kind of secret treasure, and his dark red brilliance flashed.
All the 'secrets of proverbs' have become ineffective.
Two of them drew out the long swords from their waists and rushed toward Li Shengjia like lightning.
The other two people were chasing the girl in the distance like a gust of wind.
laugh.
The sword energy is like a needle.
Li Shengjia's pupils dilated.
The gap in strength between them is too huge, and resistance is futile.
"Should I regret it..."
He thought of what he had done during the day, and a look of shame and regret appeared on his face.
One wrong step, one wrong step.
For some resources and money, I gave up my dignity and bottom line as a scholar and acted as a tool.
At this moment, he seemed to hear the sound of a sharp sword piercing his body.
But the coldness or pain I imagined never came.
He opened his eyes in surprise.
But he saw the two ghost assassins standing in front of him, with the swords in their hands already pressed against his heart and throat.
But the gleaming sword stopped the moment it penetrated the muscle.
Tick tock.
That was the sound of blood falling to the ground.
The two assassins had bloody sword points sticking out of their chests.
A young man wearing a moon-white scholar's robe stood behind them, holding two swords and slowly piercing two ghost assassins in his hands.
The sword was withdrawn.
Li Shengjia's mind buzzed.
Am I saved?
Who saved me?
Oops, Juaner...
The moment the thought came to mind, my sister's timid and crying voice suddenly came to my mind: "Brother, are you okay, brother..."
He turned around and breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that his sister was completely intact.
After holding her in his arms, Li Shengjia discovered that it was another young man wearing a moon-white scholar's robe who had rescued his sister.
"Who are you?"
Li Shengjia was wary of herself.
"Do you want to live?"
The young man in white scholar's robe said calmly.
Li Shengjia gritted her teeth and said, "I want to."
"Then come with us."
The two young men turned and walked towards the outside of the compound.
Li Shengjia hesitated for a moment and followed.
We walked through the alley, walked through the street, and came to the brightly lit main street.
Although something like that happened during the day, the bustling scene in the streets and alleys of Daoshan remained unabated. The main street was full of people, which gave Li Shengjia a huge sense of security. He looked at the two people walking in front of him unhurriedly.
A scholar in white clothes tried to escape several times, but in the end, for some unknown reason, he kept following him by accident.
In a state of confusion, I came to a restaurant.
Followed into the private room.
"It's you?"
Li Shengjia recognized the man sitting in the private room and feasting.
It was the bastard around ‘Crazy’ Chen Beilin.
It was completely different from the fawning look he usually had when he followed Chen Beilin. The guy in the box was now sitting there in a majestic manner. Although he was eating and drinking, his posture was still dignified and majestic.
Li Shengjia felt that many tutors and even vice-presidents in the academy did not necessarily have the aura of superiority that this person had at this time.
"Who asked you to slander Teacher Qin today?"
Wang Fengliu asked calmly while eating.
Li Shengjia protected his sister behind him and said, "I said it, what's the benefit?"
"What benefit do you want?"
Wang Fengliu chewed the piece of star beast tendon vigorously and asked calmly.
Li Shengjia looked at the two-month-old young man in white scholar's robe standing at the door of the box and closed the door. He mustered up his courage and said, "They said that as long as I follow you, I can live."
"This request is very simple and reasonable, so I can agree to it now."
Wang Fengliu gave the answer: "Tell me who is behind it, and you will live."
Li Shengjia hesitated slightly and said, "It's Vice President Li Ziyi of Donglin Academy."
"It is indeed this old dog."
Wang Fengliu got the answer he wanted, waved his hand and said: "Okay, you brothers and sisters can go."
Li Shengjia was extremely surprised.
"So simple? Don't you need me to testify against him?"
He said in surprise.
Wang Fengliu raised his head, looked at this poor scholar who was born in a remote star in the Tear Mole Galaxy, drank a glass of fruit wine, and said: "We only need to know the truth, we don't need to produce evidence."
Li Shengjia was immediately stunned by the domineering expression in these words.
He slowly turned around and walked towards the door.
Wang Fengliu suddenly felt something in his heart, wiped his mouth and said, "Don't you have any doubt that the person who just went to assassinate you was also sent by me?"
Li Shengjia shook his head and said: "One of the Nether Assassins tonight is the guard next to Li Ziyi. I remember his figure and his eyes."
"oh?"
There was a hint of surprise in Wang Fengliu's eyes, and he immediately laughed again, saying: "Interesting, speaking of it, you are just a little scholar at the Domain Lord level, but you can actually resist four Star King level assassins for fifteen breaths.
Can you still distinguish the eyes of the Star King-level assassin at such a critical moment... If I were you, I would stay and continue to take the exam. Maybe you can successfully enter the Academy of Knowledge this time, and it will be the only one in your life.
opportunity.”
Li Shengjia paused in his steps.
A look of struggle appeared on his face.
After counting the breaths, I made a decision immediately.
Plop.
He turned around and knelt in front of Wang Fengliu.
Wang Fengliu frowned and looked at him.
Li Shengjia said loudly: "I am just a little scholar in a quiet corner. I have placed all my hopes on Chen Province Academy. It took me half a year and went through a lot of hardships to reach the Tears Realm Star. I only wanted to study and had no intention of getting involved.
The secret struggle among the major colleges is like a duckweed in the waves, but I can't help myself... Please protect me, sir. If I can enter the College of Knowledge, I will never forget the kindness I received today."
Wang Fengliu raised his hand slightly.
An invisible force surged out and lifted Li Shengjia up.
"In the future, don't kneel down easily."
This guy who was as flattering as a dog next to Lin Beichen said seriously: "As a human being, you must live with dignity. Who should a scholar kneel to? The master of heaven and earth is a relative."
…
…
The night is already deep.
The old library became quiet.
High-rise VIP area.
A shrill scream cut through the restless night.
Soon, an explosive news spread in the old library.
Cao Shuyu, the chief student of Shangqi Bookstore, was assassinated.
He died miserably on his own bed. His eyes were cut off, his internal organs were gouged out, and his hand and hamstrings were severed... He died in a miserable state, with blood soaking into the mattress. It was obvious that he had suffered tremendous torture during his lifetime.
He was tortured to death.
When the news came out, everyone was stunned.
Shang Qi Shu's strength is not weak.
It is a doctoral power under the Qiuzhi Academy, at the same level as Taiping Academy, Donglin Academy, Shushan, Shuhai and other big powers, and has a profound foundation.
And Cao Shuyu himself is also a scholar at the Star King level. He has refined the golden 'Book of Life and Soul', and he also has a level 55 alchemy book from Shangqi Bookstore to protect him. Even if he encounters a veteran Star King level powerful
Otherwise, they would not be tortured and killed without any resistance.
But the truth is so weird.
Not only did Cao Shuyu die, he was also tortured and killed silently.
The level 55 alchemy treasure ‘Xinxiang Book Cover’ on his body is also nowhere to be found.
The murderer left no clues.
Everyone at Shangqi Bookstore almost went crazy.
Cao Shuyu's death directly ended the fortune of Shangqi Bookstore in the future.
Before this, the entire bookstore's resources were piled on Cao Shuyu.
The deputy dean, Cao Changchun, who was Cao Shuyu's uncle, went berserk and demanded that the manager of the old library immediately come forward to help investigate the murderer. The entire old library was immediately put on lockdown.
At the same time, shocking news came one after another.
Qiao Xie from Shushan, Shi Renchen from Xuehai and other chief students were all attacked by assassins and suffered varying injuries. Among them, Li Guangyu was the most seriously injured, almost having an arm broken off...
When the news came out, the mountain was shaken.
All the scholars were frightened.
The old library is a restaurant run by the Qiuzhi Academy. How strict are the various formations, restrictions and protective measures?
Under such a situation, the chief students of various major colleges also suffered horrific attacks.
Who did it?
The senior officials of all major colleges and academies rioted.
As the news spread, more people gathered outside the gate of Qiuzhi Academy.
The vice presidents and great mentors of the major colleges who had not appeared before also appeared and stood at the front of the team, strongly requesting [Book Emperor] Kongshan Yingquan to take action to find the murderer and kill the old man in black for the sake of peace.
Revenge of the dead.
At this time, another speculation was also spreading among the crowd.
In this collective attack, was there anyone who was not seriously injured?
