An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

The moonlight was bright and clear, Zhao Jue sat on the ground with his back against a tree. There was blood on the corner of his mouth, but his face was calm, neither happy nor sad.

He Miaocong glanced at him secretly and asked, "Master Zhao, can you... still walk?"

"It's okay, just a disorder of qi." Zhao Jue raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and answered softly.

First, it was a one-on-two fight, then a surprise attack to kill two people, and then a one-on-three fight. The process was difficult and the body and true qi were overloaded and consumed. To be honest, his current state is not good. The true qi is disordered, the operation is not smooth, and the body is very tired.

But there is still a long way to go, and there is not much time to adjust and rest. It is really not easy to have a moment of leisure and take a few breaths.

"Master, where are your four junior brothers and sisters?" Zhao Jue asked this question, not because he was worried, but simply didn't want to cover the retreat of the four people, which would only increase the difficulty.

He Miao had experience working together on the mountain, so he naturally understood what Zhao Jue meant.

He shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, we have attracted most of the firepower, and the four of them must have had a smooth journey. Calculating the time, they are estimated to have gone down the mountain early."

"That's great." Zhao Jue murmured as he stood up with the help of a tree.

Turning his head and looking at the road behind him, he couldn't help but feel a little bitter. What was unexpected this time was that this group of people in the martial arts world were so persistent, as if they insisted that the matter of Xu Zhenjun was true, and that the two of them must have accurate information.

Something was wrong, it was really wrong!

Thinking carefully about what happened, I always felt that someone was secretly guiding it. Unfortunately, he was exposed too early and couldn't see the whole picture from the sidelines. What's more, he had too few people and couldn't do it even if he wanted to investigate thoroughly.

"Alas..." Zhao Jue sighed helplessly.

There were too many accidents in a few days, and he couldn't figure out the clues for a while, so he could only take one step at a time.

It was so frustrating, it was really frustrating!

He Miaocong, who was standing next to him, thought that Zhao was sighing because he was in danger, so he smiled and comforted him: "Master Zhao, there is no need to do this. The world is like this. Let's go first."

"Well, let's go." Zhao nodded, glanced behind him, and decisively turned and walked down the mountain.

The two walked forward a few steps. Just when they raised their true energy and planned to use the force to sweep out, two sounds of breaking wind sounded not far away.

Although they had just experienced a hard battle, both of them remained vigilant. Almost at the moment of the sound of breaking wind, the two swords were unsheathed, and two white lights lit up.

"Ding Ding Ding"

"Ding Ding Ding"

Several hidden weapons were knocked down, and the two stopped, one on the left and one on the right, with gloomy eyes scanning the surrounding forest.

Picking up a hidden weapon on the ground with the tip of the knife, Zhao carefully examined it. There was nothing special about it. It was just an ordinary hidden weapon that any blacksmith could throw.

"Did you find anything?" He Miaocong frowned.

"No, just an ordinary hidden weapon." Zhao shook his head.

He calmed down and scanned the surrounding forest for a few times, and no sound came out. But Zhao couldn't help being surprised. The scene just now made him feel familiar. Could it be the same as the assassination of Liu Zhiyuan? Want to stop the two?

It would be fine if he didn't connect the two things together. After a little daydreaming, all kinds of strange ideas came up. What he is most worried about now is that the people who chased Liu Zhiyuan and the people who stopped them tonight are the same group of people.

If this is true, it will be bad!

The Jianghu people behind him came for the treasure left by Xu Zhenjun, not thinking about killing people. And the group of killers before came for killing people. The two are not the same concept!

Compared with Jianghu people, professional killers have clear goals, diverse methods, more cunning, and more difficult to deal with. If they are discovered, it will be more difficult for them to get away.

Thinking of this, Zhao couldn't help but feel anxious. Seeing that there was nothing unusual around, he didn't want to stay any longer, and hurriedly said: "Let's go, let's go!"

After speaking, he didn't hesitate at all, and the true energy moved in one step, and he was already dozens of steps away. Although He Miaocong didn't know why Zhao Jue was so impatient, he still followed him.

The two of them rushed out one after the other, without even the desire to look back, and ran down the mountain at a high speed.

Just as the two of them rushed out, a slight sound was also heard in the forest. In a few breaths, the sound intensified and chased in the direction of the two people.

After walking a distance, Zhao Jue was still uneasy, and had no choice but to speed up again.

Unexpectedly, at this time, several hidden weapons broke through the wind again. The two of them didn't look back, slightly changed direction, avoided the hidden weapons, and then rushed forward.

After another distance, the two of them exhaled a breath of turbid air and fell down. When they touched the ground and wanted to use the force to rush out again, the sound of breaking wind came from their side again. Obviously, this time he took advantage of the opportunity of the two people to take a breath and took the opportunity to attack again.

"Ding Ding"

Zhao Jue waved the knife in his hand and knocked down the flying hidden weapons with a few knives. In the moment when the white light flashed, he didn't glance around, but raised his eyebrows and smiled, and his tightly locked brows slowly relaxed.

The reason for the change in expression is that he can clearly feel the lack of power from the hidden weapon that just flew over. This situation is most likely caused by haste, panic and failure to adjust the power and accuracy to the best state.

The previous killers would never have this situation. The reason is that there are too many people. Once someone gets tired, another person will take over immediately. The connection is naturally fast and there are few mistakes.

This is the difficulty of professional killers. The division of labor is clear and the alternation is orderly. Even if someone makes a mistake, someone will immediately try to make up for it. The overall situation will not be ruined because of a small negligence.

"It seems to be a greedy ghost..." Zhao snorted coldly.

But soon, the feeling of something wrong came to his mind again. Why would such a bunch of people still hold on to them and chase them relentlessly? Could it be that this group of people in the martial arts world really believed that the two people had the treasures left by Xu Zhenjun?

Even if they really did, why did only one or two people chase them? Aren't they afraid of death? Suddenly, a strange idea came to Zhao Jue's mind.

"Could it be to delay?"

But he immediately denied this idea. How long can they delay with just a few people? It's better to chase them in large numbers!

"If it's not to delay, then what is it for?" Zhao Jue's mind was confused, and he couldn't figure out the other party's purpose for a while.

If he couldn't figure it out, he simply didn't think about it. He waved his hand and said to He Miaocong: "Master, let's take turns to block the hidden weapons from behind."

"Okay." He Miaocong nodded.

Without giving the people behind them time, the two rushed out again without saying a word, but instead of trying their best to hurry on their way, they changed to rushing out one after the other.

Hidden weapons would fly behind them from time to time, but the people behind them would always block them in time. With this change, the effect of the hidden weapons behind them was greatly reduced, but the speed of the two people did not slow down much.

Perhaps they knew it was useless, or perhaps they had used up all the hidden weapons. After a few rounds, there were no more hidden weapons flying behind them, but the people behind them still followed closely.
