The hunchbacked old man's name is Liu Qiao. He is the oldest killer among the four ghosts and the best at disguise.
He had just pretended to be a woodcutter and successfully deceived Lu Chen, so that the little girl next to him got it. The weapons he used were a short knife and a round shield.
The bamboo hat was a round shield. He rushed forward with a single step, holding the dagger in a dexterous trick, and quickly slashed towards Lu Chen.
brush!
A trembling cold sword light lit up, like a dazzling horse training.
Although Lu Chen was poisoned, he appeared to be very calm in the dangerous situation. He swung his sword with his left hand and faced him like lightning.
Cang! The weapons collided fiercely and sparks flew everywhere!
Lu Chen didn't move at all, but the hunchbacked old man Liu Qiao suddenly retreated two feet away, turned over flexibly while flying upside down, stepped on a big tree behind him and shot at Lu Chen again.
"Lu Chen, as things have come to this, let's just accept death!" The originally kind-hearted, hunchbacked old man revealed a sinister smile, and there seemed to be a crazy flame igniting in the depths of his eyes.
The bright silver dagger was like a blooming lotus in his hand, full of endless vitality, slashing at Lu Chen one after another, continuously, like the bone-scratching cold wind on a winter night.
"You are just a peak person, but you dare to speak nonsense in front of me, who gave you the courage!" Lu Chen clicked his right arm several times to seal the acupuncture points to prevent the spread of toxins in the muscles and veins.
The five-step golden thread snake is a world-famous poison. If it is shot by a tempered silver needle, it will definitely kill the person who reaches the peak of the day after tomorrow. It can also threaten the life of the innate strong person.
The only difference from the acquired peak strength is that the innate strength can control the flow of qi and blood throughout the body and force toxins out of the body.
But this takes time. Obviously, these insidious assassins will not give him a chance.
Facing the crazy offensive of the hunchbacked old man, Lu Chen's eyes seemed to flash with cold lightning, and he continuously waved the Xuanqing heavy sword to form a sword screen, easily blocking the opponent's short sword time and time again.
But what he faced now was not an assassin, but a carefully prepared group.
The erosion of the toxin greatly reduced his strength, and his right arm was completely paralyzed and unable to move. This dangerous situation could only be solved quickly.
At the same moment when the hunchbacked old man attacked Lu Chen, the most cunning girl in green who was hiding next to him waved her hand, and countless silver needles rained down on Chen Lu like a rainstorm.
Phew! Phew! Phew! Phew!
"Seeking death!" Lu Chen shouted angrily, and suddenly a strong wind blew on the path, and the powerful figure disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
The girl in green seemed to have seen a terrible scene, but it seemed that it was too late to shout: "Uncle Liu, watch your back!"
Lu Chen dodged and appeared on the left side of the hunchbacked old man, and slammed his knee into the opponent's abdomen.
Peng! Immediately afterwards, the hunchbacked old man seemed to have been hit hard suddenly, blood spurted from his mouth, and he flew back violently.
"You cats and dogs dare to plot against me. I'm tired of living!" Lu Chen moved like a ghost and appeared behind the hunchbacked old man in an instant. He raised the Xuanqing heavy sword and cut through the sky, trying to kill him with one blow. !
In terms of speed, there is a world of difference between nurture and nature.
Phew! A heart-stopping sound broke through the air, and a jet-black arrow flew past the leaves in the dense forest at high speed, and suddenly shot toward Lu Chen's back vest like lightning.
Lu Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, the hairs all over his body exploded, and his heart seemed to have stopped beating at this moment. It was too late to dodge, so he could only try his best to show mercy to his body.
"Oops, there are still people lurking in the nearby woods!"
These killers were so cold-blooded that they would even abandon their companions in order to kill him.
puff!
The sudden sharp arrow hit Lu Chen in the shoulder, but
It avoided the most dangerous point and penetrated his chest front and back, and the blood stained his clothes red in the blink of an eye.
Lu Chen grunted, a flash of pain flashed across his face, kicked the hunchbacked old man away, and rolled to the side.
"Hmph, your head belongs to me!" Akui, a burly man who had been knocked to the ground by Chase Lu before, suddenly rushed forward with a giant ax in hand, preparing to give Chase Lu a final fatal blow.
Feeling the severe pain in his chest, Chase Lu knitted his brows together, and anger surged deep in his eyes: "Zhazui, you are so despicable!"
The killers' successive assassination methods completely angered Lu Chen. He quickly got up, put his feet on the ground, and rushed towards the burly man in front of him, like an arrow from a string.
"Get back!" The girl in green couldn't help shouting. Among this group of killers, she was the only one who knew best how terrifying Lu Chen's strength was.
If an acquired warrior wants to assassinate an innate warrior, in addition to a surprise attack, he also needs more tacit cooperation.
If you go head-to-head, you are undoubtedly seeking your own death.
But it's too late!
Lu Chen rushed forward with an arrow, turned his feet, easily dodged the incoming axe, and then swung his sword.
After missing his sure kill move, Akui's proud expression froze in vain. Looking at the cold face that appeared in front of him, a touch of horror suddenly appeared on his rough face.
brush!
A sharp green sword energy cut through the space, instantly splitting Akui in half from the waist to the upper left shoulder, as if cutting a rag, thick blood spurted out, and Lu Chen quickly ran away from the two halves of the body.
He came out, plunged into the woods next to the mountain road, and disappeared deep into the forest in the blink of an eye.
He was seriously injured and could not tangle with this group of people.
"Escape!" Gan Sha with a murderous look on his face sprang out from the woods and landed next to Akui's dead body. Looking at his former companion, his cold eyes wrinkled slightly.
The innately strong man is really difficult to deal with. He set many traps but still couldn't kill the opponent. Instead, he lost a good soldier beside him. The target was more troublesome than imagined.
The girl in green clothes came over and looked at her former companion, but her young eyes showed no sadness at all: "Boss, Brother Kui is dead, will the assassination continue?"
"Little girl, what nonsense are you talking about? This person has a reward on his head. How can he just say he doesn't want to do it? Lu Chen was hit by a hidden arrow and poisoned. He is not far from death!" The hunchbacked old man limped.
He walked over and said expressionlessly.
"If Lu Chen is not dead, we must die. There are two ways, you can choose!" Gansha, carrying a broad sword, turned and walked towards the forest, his green pupils full of gloom.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
The dry and cold winter finally left, and a long-lost spring rain began to fall on the earth.
The first rain was very thin, like cow hair, and soon covered everything between heaven and earth. The distant scenery slowly became blurred in the gradually falling night, like an ink painting soaked by rain.
The pattering sound resounded everywhere in the forest, like a beautiful piano sound, calling for the arrival of spring, and everything seemed so beautiful.
The woods were overgrown with weeds, and there was a faint sound of footsteps on the damp ground.
The heavily armed Gan Sha squatted on the wet grass and carefully examined the blood-stained arrow that fell on the grass.
This arrow was exactly the hidden arrow that hit Lu Chen. It seemed that he had pulled it out on the way to escape, but it just gave him a clue to kill him and track him down.
"You are so seriously injured, and you still dare to pull out the arrow, without fear of bleeding to death?" A sneer appeared on the corner of Gansha's mouth, as if he saw an injured prey hiding in embarrassment.
Hua Ling, a girl in green who followed beside her, sneered: "It's exciting to think about hunting such a genius!"
The hunchbacked old man said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone should be careful. Although the opponent has been poisoned by the five-step golden thread snake, we must prevent the opponent from counterattacking before death!"
At this moment, a ray of phantom shot out from the woods in front of them. The three men could not have guessed that at this time, the other party would hide in the dark and ambush them!
Phew! The sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the space.
Just as he heard the heart-stopping sound, the phantom had cut through the cold space and approached instantly, leaving no room for the hunchbacked old man to dodge.
"Get out of the way!" The hunchbacked old man reflexively picked up the round shield to resist, and at the same time shouted to remind his two companions.
With a muffled sound, the hunchbacked old man's body suddenly trembled, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Gan Sha and the girl in green named Hua Ling immediately moved away, then turned around and looked, only to see a small round hole appeared on the shield in the hand of the hunchbacked old man, and an ancient copper coin was embedded deeply between his eyebrows. There, blood mixed with rain rolled down, quickly dyeing his old face red, and then he fell down weakly.
"What a terrible hidden weapon. If the opponent's target is me, then the person who died just now is myself!" Gan Sha pulled out the broad sword behind him, looked at his dead companion, and couldn't help but shudder.
Liu Qiao was an acquired peak warrior with a strong body. It was extremely difficult for ordinary concealed weapons to hurt him. Unexpectedly, a copper coin penetrated the shield made of black iron essence and then shot his head.
One can imagine how terrifying this master of firing hidden weapons is.
"Brother, watch your back!" Just as Gan Sha was thinking to himself, Hua Ling not far away seemed to have seen a terrifying scene and couldn't help but scream.
Gan Sha's expression changed dramatically, he turned his head and looked behind him, when an afterimage suddenly burst out from the rain curtain, like a ferocious beast that was ready to attack.
Suddenly, a flash of miserable purple sword light lit up in vain in the dark forest, and a strong murderous intention instantly enveloped the killing in the jungle.
"You didn't run away. You deliberately left that sharp arrow to lure us into being fooled!" Gansha roared through gritted teeth. He couldn't help but feel panic in his heart, but it was too late to dodge because the opponent's sword was too fast. , and was about to be hit by the opponent.
Why is Lu Chen still able to fight back despite being poisoned?
What frightened Gan Sha the most was that Lu Chen actually knew that they would follow them, but instead of escaping, he set up a complete plan to plot against them. How cunning this was!
Phew! At the critical moment, a sharp silver needle suddenly shot towards him.
Lu Chen frowned. Although this sword could kill the black-clothed killer, he would definitely be hit by a hidden weapon again, and the gain would outweigh the loss.
He made a prompt decision, stopped his stance to dodge, turned over and twisted, and then stepped on a big tree nearby and quickly used the force to bounce away.
Whoosh! At the same time as it bounced away, Lu Chen did not stay in place, and kept dodging in the woods with quick movements, like a nimble civet cat.
Thin silver needles shot at him one after another, giving him no chance to breathe.
While moving at high speed, his eyes were constantly observing the little girl hiding behind the big tree below. This guy was the most difficult to deal with. His hidden weapon skills were good, but unfortunately, the opponent chose the wrong target.
"Can your hidden weapon really be able to assassinate an innate strong man?" Lu Chen sneered secretly.
Suddenly, Gan Sha jumped into the air from the right side, swung the broad sword in his hand and struck at Lu Chen who was dodging. The sword was extremely swift and violent, drawing an arc in the air, causing the air to tremble.
Lu Chen stepped on a huge rock and quickly dodged away. Every movement increased the blood loss from the shoulder wound, and a sign of weakness appeared on his pale face.
The extremely domineering sword slashed down, and an explosion resounded through the woods.
