Chapter 727: The Last Goal (Two Shifts Today, Four Shifts Tomorrow)
Midsummer.
Walking on the mountain trail, Richard glanced down at the note in his hand from time to time, the note was crumpled and the edges were already wet with sweat.
Richard couldn't help but turn his head and complain to the beef soup: "Fifteen miles forward from the mountain road west of Xiaohuangshan, the largest house I saw was. Who wrote this note when I wiped it, it must not have been written by your father, is he Lao Tzu not a courier The way-finding skills are full. ”
Beef soup snorted: "It's not bad if my senior brother didn't write it for you, be content." Dad is so busy, how can he have time to personally arrange goals for you every time, of course, these things are handed over to the people below. ”
Richard pursed his lips and stopped talking, from early spring to midsummer, he had been doing one thing for the past few months - to gather the hundred targets that the little old man Wu Ming wanted him to kill, he had already completed ninety-nine goals, and this was the last one.
After walking for several miles, we came to a grove of trees, and through the woods I saw a small village in the middle of the village, and through the towering walls you could see the elaborate buildings in it, which contrasted sharply with the yellow mud houses and thatched houses around it.
"Looks like that's it." Richard muttered in a low voice, and Ling Bo instantly launched a slight step and rushed towards the village, and at the same time, his face changed to a plain face.
For the hundredth target, Richard didn't plan to use any more methods, he chose to use the simplest and most brutal way to attack it head-on!
As soon as he entered the village, he saw a sound of bows and arrows loosening in the houses on both sides, and two arrows came from the room towards Richard.
"Enemy!" Two voices rang out in the room at the same time, and before they could finish speaking, Richard grabbed the two arrows coming from the left and right, and threw them back in the direction from which they came.
"Poof."
The arrow hit the body, and a muffled grunt sounded in the room, and there was no movement. But the voice had already been heard, and the closed doors of the houses on both sides of the road ahead opened one after another, and out of them came dozens of fierce men with weapons in their hands, staring at Richard with unkind eyes.
"Who shouted about the enemy attack just now!" A big man at the head said in a rough voice, and when he saw Richard, his face changed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Boy, who are you?" ”
"The one who wants your life." Richard sneered, Ling Bo stepped instantly, came to the big man, his right hand swept over his waist and pulled out the black cicada, and swung out a sword.
No one could see the movement of Richard with his sword, they only saw a black afterimage flashing in the air, and the next moment a two-inch-long wound appeared on the big man's throat. Blood gushed out from the wound, and the big man's eyes widened in anger, and his eyes were full of disbelief and slowly fell to the ground.
With a successful blow, Richard did not retreat but flicked his wrist, and the black cicada swung like a soft long whip towards another strong man beside him, and the sharp blade of the sword instantly cut his throat.
Between lightning and flint, kill two people in a row!
In the past few months, Richard has faced all kinds of opponents with black cicadas, good at external skills, good at light skills, good at using swords, and many with Qimen weapons, fighting with these various opponents, Richard's attainments in soft swords have gone further, not only swords faster, more accurate and more ruthless, but also for how to deal with various types of opponents with soft swords has accumulated a lot of experience.
Like a tiger entering a flock, Richard kept shuttling through the crowd, and the black cicada was like a black mamba snake constantly attacking, tearing open the throats of one opponent after another with its sharp fangs, taking their lives. In less than a hundred breaths, dozens of strong men all fell to the ground!
Richard put away his sword, glanced at the manor not far away, and walked towards the manor. The beef soup standing at the entrance of the village hurriedly followed, and when she walked past the corpses, she looked down and saw that everyone had been killed by a sword sealing their throats, and the wounds on each corpse were just two inches long, no more and no less.
Beef Soup glanced at Richard's back and muttered in a low voice, "This guy's sword is getting more and more terrifying." ”
Walking to the front of the manor, the gate of the manor was closed. Richard was about to step forward and kick open the door, but as soon as he walked to the door, a sense of crisis rose in his heart for no reason, and his face changed and he quickly retreated.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
I only heard three sharp sounds of breaking the air, and three crossbow arrows about the thickness of a baby's forearm that were more than three feet long were immediately nailed to the place where Richard had just stood, and the arrows of the crossbow arrows sank deep into the bluestone slab, and the bluestone slab cracked like a spider's web.
A voice came from inside the manor, "This young man, I think I have no grievances with you, why do you want to trouble me?" If the young man retreats, I will not blame you for killing my brother. ”
"It's not that I'm looking for you trouble, it's just that you're unlucky enough to be targeted." Richard laughed and whispered, then jerked in the direction where the sound came from, and slammed the ground like a fly into the air, jumping over the fence.
I saw that under a tree behind the wall, a middle-aged man looked at Richard's face and changed greatly, "Quick, kill him for me!" ”
Several bowstring vibrating figures immediately sounded in the trees, and three crossbow arrows came towards Richard in mid-air. Only then did Richard discover that there were actually three strong men standing on the tree, each of whose arms were extremely thick and powerful, no wonder one person could control a heavy crossbow.
In the face of the three fast-coming crossbow arrows, Richard sneered and swung out the black cicada, the soft sword body was like a ribbon that firmly tied the three crossbow arrows together, and with a flick of the wrist, the three crossbow arrows immediately changed directions and flew back in the direction they came.
The faces of the three strong men changed greatly, and before they could jump off the tree to go to them, the crossbow arrows came to them, and the sharp arrows pierced the heavy crossbow in their hands, and then pierced their bodies. The sturdy body fell to the ground with a heavy muffled thud.
The middle-aged man looked at Richard's face and became extremely serious, and said in a deep voice: "Are you from the government?" ”
Richard didn't speak, took out a note and glanced at it, and then said to the middle-aged man: "You are Xue Gui?" ”
Xue Gui thought that Richard had taken out a wanted warrant, and his face became even more gloomy, "You are really from the government." If you retreat just now, I will not be guilty of the past, but you want to come in, there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door in hell for you to break into. I can't blame me for that death. ”
As he spoke, Xue Gui shouted angrily, threw himself at Richard, and punched Richard towards the door.
This punch was full of tigers, and Richard saw that Xue Gui actually had a pair of finger tigers on his left and right hands, each of which had four spikes on it, flashing with cold light.
If you hit it this time, it will really be cool and flying. An idea came to Richard's mind, and Ling Bo moved to the side to dodge Xue Gui's punch, and at the same time, the black cicada swung out and headed towards his back.
