The sword in his hand is extremely long and narrow, as slender as a knuckle, pitch black, and its power is like a poisonous snake spitting out a message. He only pursues a fast, accurate, ruthless, erratic, and unparalleled assassination.
This fighting style generally does not cause large-scale damage, but if it is used to assassinate an opponent, it can kill with one blow.
However, it is precisely because of this that Chen Xifang can rely on his super high combat awareness to predict the enemy in advance and avoid the opponent's attack without any danger. Otherwise, once some sword energy spreads from the opponent's sword force, it will be enough to kill him.
There is no way, his current strength has not yet recovered, it is only equivalent to the Golden Core realm, and the black-clothed swordsman has a cultivation level of about the fourth level of the Earth Immortal...
Gu Tian was also a swordsman, but he was embarrassed by this swordsman in black and was dwarfed by him.
As for the guards, they were only in the Underworld Realm and could not help at all. Their expressions were extremely different.
"Brother Chen Xi, please help Uncle Gu Tian."
Cui Qingning said in a low voice. She was still lying on Chen Xi at this time, only showing a childish little face, pale with a hint of worry.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Chen Xi patted the girl's shoulder to express comfort.
clang!
Sure enough, as Chen Xi had guessed, the swordsman in black suddenly thrust out several swords, knocking Gu Tian back, and he quickly escaped from the battle circle in a flash.
"Next time, none of you can escape."
The black-clothed swordsman turned around and glanced at the place where Chen Xi was. His figure flashed, tearing through the void like a flash of black lightning, and suddenly disappeared.
Plop!
Gu Tian couldn't help but sit down on the ground, breathing heavily for a few breaths. On his old-fashioned and stern face, a trace of throbbing like the aftermath of a disaster could not be suppressed, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Commander Gu, are you okay?"
"Uncle Gutian!"
There was a crash, and Cui Qingning and a group of guards rushed forward.
Seeing this, Chen Xi looked at the place where the black-clothed assassin disappeared, thinking thoughtfully. If it weren't for his own existence, he would have succeeded long ago.
And to be able to send an assassin of the fourth level of Earth Immortal to hunt down Cui Qingning, this girl's identity is probably extremely complicated.
"Are you warning yourself?"
Chen Xi's intuition told him that the glance the swordsman in black gave him before he left was aimed at him, but he didn't take it seriously.
If we meet again next time, his strength will not be as weak as now!
"Who is that person?" Chen Xi walked forward and asked.
"He is Qing Xiao!"
One of the guards looked extremely pale, with a hint of fear in his voice, "He is a mysterious assassin who is now famous in the Netherworld. His assassination skills are extremely powerful, and there are few opponents. Countless masters have died under his sword."
Countless times, especially the year before last, he acted alone and assassinated an ancestor of the Seventh Level Earth Immortal Realm of the Goddess Palace, which shocked the world."
After breathing for a while, the guard continued: "It is said that if you want Qing Xiao to take action, the price will be at least an immortal weapon! As long as he targets the target, he will never miss it."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look up at Chen Xi, with a strange look on his face.
The price of an immortal weapon?
Chen Xi was a little surprised and didn't notice at all that the eyes of the guards looking at him were full of weird and complicated expressions.
"Thank you so much this time, brother Chen Xi!"
Na Gutian stood up and saluted solemnly.
This time, Qing Xiao's sneak attack came without any warning. It came so suddenly that even he was not sure whether he could detect the attack just now. However, Chen Xi actually dodged Qing Xiao's sure-fire attack!
What's especially important is that he also successfully rescued the young lady...
This shocked him, but he was actually a little unsure, because Chen Xi's power was clearly only around the Golden Core realm, and it was hard to tell whether he was lucky or quick to react.
Chen Xi smiled and said nonchalantly: "It's just a coincidence that we met at the right time."
Gu Tian nodded. He also suspected that this was a kind of luck, but the look he looked at Chen Xi had become much calmer, without the vigilance and vigilance he had before.
"Miss……"
Gu Tian took a casual glance and saw that Cui Qingning's face was pale and her beautiful eyes were full of worry and fear. He couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. "Don't worry, miss, I will definitely send you to Black Cliff City safely!"
"Uncle Gutian, I'm fine."
Cui Qingning raised her little face and smiled, but the smile was a little forced. After all, she was just an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. To encounter such a sudden change was like going through a life and death. How could she not be afraid in her heart.
"Without further delay, let's set off!" Gu Tian's expression quickly returned to a serious expression and he ordered in a deep voice.
The next moment, everyone took advantage of the bloody night to run quickly.
Along the way, everyone in the team's attitude towards Chen Xi quietly changed. They no longer rejected and ignored him, but truly regarded him as a member of their side.
Think about it, that is the famous assassin Qing Xiao in the Netherworld. If it were not for Chen Xi this time, the young lady would probably be doomed.
Of course, no one would believe that Chen Xi was strong enough to avoid Qing Xiao's assassination, but regarded it as a kind of luck. After all, they all clearly realized that Chen Xi's strength was indeed too weak...
…
"Why not choose to fly through the air?"
Chen Xi noticed the change in everyone's attitude towards him, so he took the initiative to inquire.
"This is a bloody and painful place. It is a ferocious place in the Netherworld. The heaven and earth here are densely covered with countless small void turbulences. It is extremely difficult to detect. Once involved, the consequences will be disastrous."
A guard patiently answered: "Not only that, according to rumors, the Blood Basin is a place where ghosts gather. The ferocious aura is so fierce that few ordinary creatures dare to step into it. This time, if it is not to avoid being chased,
, we will not choose to shuttle here."
Chen Xi suddenly realized, and suddenly asked: "If I want to go to the Netherworld, how should I get there?"
The guard was stunned for a moment, with a strange look on his face, and said: "We are going to the Netherworld. All you have to do is follow us."
"Haha, lucky boy, you are with the right person this time. An ordinary person, no matter how powerful he is, would not be able to get even half a step closer to the Netherworld." Another guard suddenly laughed.
Chen Xi asked in surprise: "Are you all from the Netherworld?"
The guard seemed to realize something, and immediately shut up. He glanced at Gu Tian with some anxiety. Seeing that the other person had no intention of blaming him, he was secretly relieved, but he did not dare to speak nonsense anymore.
When Chen Xi saw this, he couldn't help but touch his nose and asked no more questions.
"Brother Chen Xi, don't be angry. Uncle Gu Tian and the others are all trying to protect me."
Cui Qingning opened the curtain of the bronze chariot and revealed a childish little face, "Maybe you don't know yet, but I am a descendant of the Cui family in the Netherworld. There have been some changes in my family, so I have to hide many things.
Please forgive me."
Chen Xi asked in confusion: "Cui family?"
Cui Qingning nodded and said: "Yes, the Cui family controls the Criminal Law Department of the Netherworld."
Chen Xi was keenly aware that when Cui Qingning reported this name, the eyes of all the guards, including Gu Tian, were all focused on him, as if to see how he would react.
This is really strange. Does the Criminal Law Department play a decisive role in the Netherworld just like the Six Dao Department?
His reaction was calm with a hint of doubt, and everyone seemed to relax a lot when they saw this.
"Then...who is chasing you?" Chen Xi asked.
Cui Qingning was stunned, and her expression suddenly turned gloomy, with a hint of melancholy and pain that could not be concealed.
Seeing this, Chen Xi quickly comforted him: "Okay, I won't ask anymore."
Cui Qingning shook her head and said, "Sooner or later you will know."
She took a deep breath and her expression became much calmer, "The people who are chasing me this time are our Cui family members. They don't want to let me go back and are afraid that I will take over my father's position, so they obstructed me in every possible way along the way and even sent out
Many forces want to kill me on the road."
"However, they don't know at all. I have never thought about taking over any position. If they are willing, I can even give it up. As long as everyone does not kill each other and can live in harmony, I will be very happy. It's a pity..."
Speaking of this, Cui Qingning's voice became deeper and deeper, revealing a deep feeling of loss and confusion.
When Chen Xi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It was the intrigues and intrigues within the family. This kind of strife seemed to be happening everywhere.
For the sake of power, wealth, and status, it is not uncommon for fathers and sons to become enemies and relatives to turn against each other.
Although examples like Cui Qingning are very common, they are not uncommon.
Chen Xi pondered for a long time, and then said seriously to Cui Qingning, "Miss Cui, blind hesitation and weakness will only make things worse. If you can't bear to see everyone fighting with each other, you must first become stronger yourself. In this way, don't
People will truly respect you."
Cui Qingning was stunned for a long time, shook her head and said: "Unfortunately, it's too late..." After saying that, she had lowered the curtain and sat alone in the bronze chariot.
Seeing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel pity for this kind and innocent girl. At such a young age, she was involved in a deceitful and bloody family battle. Facing those relatives and friends who turned against each other, she felt certain in her heart
Is it painful?
"Brother Chen Xi, after arriving at Black Cliff City, you should leave."
At this time, Gu Tian came over again and said in a deep voice, "This muddy water is too dangerous. If we are together, we are bound to encounter too many disturbances."
The voice was low and sincere, obviously speaking from the heart.
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, then shrugged and said helplessly: "I have already offended that Qing Xiao, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape again, so I'd better follow you."
Gu Tian was startled and didn't know what to say. He finally sighed and said, "I'm so sorry. If I had known this, I should have refused to take you with me when we met."
"Unfortunately, it's still too late. Brother Gu Tian, the matter has come to this, you can't leave me alone." Chen Xi blinked and smiled a little heartlessly...
Seeing this, Gu Tian couldn't help but sigh again.
