Qin Yi snorted coldly, exerting force with his feet, his figure like an arrow, instantly closing in. Although his lightness kung fu was not as good as his opponent's, his internal energy was deep and his breath was long, giving him greater staying power. The two chased each other in the night, a silent contest.
The assassin in front suddenly turned, landing on the top of a tall building. Qin Yi followed closely behind, steadily landing a few feet away. The night wind blew, his robes fluttering, the atmosphere tense.
"Who are you, Your Excellency, and why are you trespassing into the Qin Manor at night?" Qin Yi's voice was cold and stern, his eyes piercing the other party.
The assassin did not answer, turning sideways to reveal a pair of icy cold eyes. His figure was shrouded in the night, blending into the darkness, with only those eyes flashing with a cold light.
Qin Yi's heart trembled, knowing that the other party was by no means ordinary. He secretly circulated his internal energy, his muscles tensed, ready to strike at any time. The assassin moved!
His figure was like a ghost, instantly approaching, the cold light in his hand flashing, the short blade stabbing straight at Qin Yi's throat! Qin Yi reacted extremely quickly, dodging sideways, his right palm striking towards the other party's chest.
The assassin's figure twisted, avoiding the palm force, taking advantage of the momentum to leap, opening the distance. Qin Yi was secretly shocked, the other party's lightness kung fu and movement were strange, unexpectedly able to avoid the attack at such a close distance.
"Good skills!" Qin Yi said coldly, "Tonight you will not be able to escape!"
Before the words were finished, Qin Yi urged his internal energy, his figure like lightning, once again pouncing towards the assassin. The offensive was fierce, the palm wind whistling, the fist shadows heavy, trying to completely suppress the other party.
The assassin was calm, his figure shuttling like a phantom, sometimes counterattacking, sometimes dodging, the two engaging in a fight on the high building.
The night was deep, the starlight dim, two figures intertwined in the moonlight. This fight was full of murderous intent, a slight carelessness, and life and death would be determined.
Qin Yi gradually gained the upper hand, the assassin's figure stagnated, revealing a flaw. A cold light flashed in Qin Yi's eyes, and he struck out with his palm towards the other party's chest!
The palm force was about to arrive, and the assassin's mouth curled into a cold smile. Qin Yi's heart sank, secretly thinking that it was not good, it was too late. The assassin's figure twisted, avoiding the palm force at an incredible angle, and with a backhand stab, the short blade took Qin Yi's ribs!
Although Qin Yi was shocked, he was not flustered, retracted his strength and retreated quickly, avoiding this fatal blow. His robe was torn, his ribs stinging, and he suffered a minor injury.
"What a good retreat as an advance!" Qin Yi said coldly, his eyes solemn. This assassin was not only skilled in lightness kung fu, but also had a deep mind, the flaw was deliberately made, luring him to take the bait.
The assassin did not speak, staring coldly at Qin Yi, waiting for the opportunity.
Qin Yi calmed his mind and calmly analyzed the situation. Rashly attacking, he was afraid of falling into a trap. Only by remaining calm can he find a flaw.
The two confronted each other, the night wind howled, the atmosphere was solemn.
Footsteps came from a distance, and the light of torches flickered. The guards of the Qin Manor noticed the abnormality and came to support.
The assassin noticed, a coldness flashed in his eyes. His figure flickered, and he swept towards the distance, not intending to entangle.
"Want to leave?" Qin Yi snorted coldly, his figure like electricity, chasing after him.
The two figures shuttled in the night, like ghosts jumping on the roof. Qin Yi chased closely, with only one thought in his mind - he must not let him escape!
Seeing that he was about to catch up, the assassin disappeared like a ghost. His figure was light, and he quickly turned and fell into a narrow alley. Qin Yi followed closely, and when he landed, the alley was empty, leaving only a few fallen leaves.
"Where is he?" Qin Yi was puzzled, carefully observing, but found nothing.
"Let me go, let me go!" A child's cry came from the depths of the alley.
Qin Yi was shocked: "Not good, could it be that the assassin has attacked the child?"
By the moonlight, Qin Yi saw two figures, one large and one small, pulling at each other on the wall at the end of the alley. He was even more certain of his guess, lightened his footsteps, and followed the sound.
The alley was winding and deep, and the sound of footsteps was clear. The closer he got, the more uneasy Qin Yi felt.
Reaching the end of the alley, one of the shadows on the wall was missing, leaving only a small figure standing there alone. Qin Yi was startled: "The black shadow has excellent lightness kung fu, he must have noticed me and abandoned the child to escape."
He quickened his pace, wanting to see clearly. When he reached the end of the alley, he stopped. By the moonlight, he saw a seven or eight-year-old child, trembling and standing there, his clothes thin, his face tearful, and frightened.
Qin Yi thought, this child is quite pitiful, but this assassin is too shameless, actually using a child as a shield.
He approached the child, squatted down, and tried to make his voice sound kind and friendly: "Little brother, why are you here alone? Did you see a man in black just now?"
The child looked up, stopped crying, opened his mouth, and a puff of white smoke sprayed out, with a pungent fishy smell. The child's voice was hoarse and low: "Yes, General Qin."
Qin Yi only felt his eyes go dark, this smell...this is...knockout powder?!
He barely opened his eyes and saw the child give him a sinister and strange smile, full of horror. Qin Yi was shocked, wanting to resist, but his whole body was weak and his consciousness gradually blurred.
