Chapter 226 Blood Shadow Assassin

The banner was eight feet long, with a tassel on the head and a pheasant tail on the tail. On the plain yellow flag was written the words "Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard" in black.

The thousand-household official ran up from the slope, knelt on one knee on the yellow earth, and saluted.

"Your Excellencies, all departments are in place and everything is ready."

"let's start!"

"Follow the order!"

The captain turned around, raised a large blue flag, and waved it vigorously nine times.

In the valleys and ravines, nine whistling arrows almost simultaneously emitted a sharp whistle and flew into the air with smoke trails...

On the barren slope, flags were fluttering, heading south against the north wind, making a rustling sound. The soldiers were wearing flying fish costumes, black gauze hats, and embroidered spring swords hanging from their waists. They surrounded the three armchairs.

"The Blood Shadow Assassin selection is held every three years, and all participants are elite Jinyiwei."

The middle-aged man sitting on the left, tall and sturdy, with a red face and red beard, nicknamed "Fire Spirit Officer", is Mao Wushang, one of the two co-officials of the Jinyiwei. He looked down and suddenly sighed for some reason.

"In the end, less than 30% of people can survive. It's really heartbreaking!"

Those valleys and gullies are like guinea pig breeding jars. Every Jinyiwei candidate not only has to face attacks from specially selected death row prisoners, but also has to deal with the pursuit of Class A Blood Shadow Assassins. No matter what, only those who get the token are qualified to leave the valley alive.

The old man with white hair and eyebrows on the right laughed and said, "If it is not so cruel, how can the Blood Shadow Assassin become the sharpest sword? How can it intimidate foreign countries, Japanese pirates, and martial artists?"

Mao Wushang chuckled and said, "It's understandable that it's cruel, but it should be fair, otherwise it won't convince the public."

Chen Feibai smiled and said, "Master Mao's words seem to have a deep meaning, so why not speak frankly!"

Mao Wushang snorted coldly: "I heard that in addition to the 200 Jinyiwei selected from various places, there are also outsiders participating in the Blood Shadow Assassin Trial this time?"

Chen Feibai remained silent.

Wan Chonglou, who was sitting on the middle armchair, glanced at Mao Wushang and said calmly, "I know about this matter, no need to say more."

Upon hearing this, Mao Wushang immediately shut his mouth and stopped questioning Chen Feibai, who was in charge of the Blood Shadow Assassin selection.

…………

The iron sword in Yang Yuyan's hand was dripping with blood, but she could no longer tell whether it was the enemy's blood or her own blood. She stood there with five or six bloody marks on her body. The knife on her shoulder almost cut off her entire left arm.

"Come die!"

The prisoner in front of him had bloodshot eyes, every strike of his sword was filled with hatred, and his half-scarred face looked extremely hideous.

There were many bloody holes on his legs caused by sword piercings, but he was completely unaware of them and tirelessly swung his two scimitars, slashing at his opponents like a whirlwind.

These people were death row prisoners imprisoned in a secret cell. They were told that they could leave alive as long as they cut off the head of a Jinyiwei.

"Mad dog!"

Yang Yuyan wanted to retreat. The opponent gave up all his moves and made it clear that he wanted to exchange injuries for injuries and life for life. She had already obtained a token. As long as she left the valley, she could become a member of the Blood Shadow Assassin and receive the next step of training.

"There should be a stone forest ahead..."

She looked around, seized the opportunity, kicked away the two swords with her legs, turned and ran towards the stone forest.

The double-bladed prisoner raised his sword and tried to chase him, but was met by the Jinyiwei who rushed out from the ravine on the left, and the two sides fought...

This stone forest is made up of stone pillars and cones that are several meters high.

A top-ranked Blood Shadow Assassin leaned against a rock, closing his eyes to rest.

His whole body was covered in a very strange cloak, which was very similar in color to stone.

"Someone's coming in!"

He held the sword with his right hand and held a rhododendron in his left hand. Listening to the noise coming from the front, he slowly drew out the long and narrow sword from his waist and lightly chased in the direction where Yang Yuyan fled.

Yang Yuyan walked westward along the stone forest and suddenly stopped.

She looked up and saw the sun setting over the mountains.

The air in the mountains in the evening smells particularly good, with the warmth left by the sun and the fragrance of flowers and plants. For her, who has been trapped in Yeyouting for a year, this smell seems to linger deep in her soul and she can never forget it no matter where she is.

As the cool breeze blew, a huge sadness surged into my heart. People who have not experienced the separation of life and death cannot understand this kind of pain, unwillingness, and hatred that is like falling into the abyss.

She couldn't sleep at night because she thought of the headless body lying in the yard.

"Why can't you let us go?"

"Sun Moon Sect, Dongfang Bubai, and that devil!"

"One day, I will take revenge for this blood debt."

Yang Yuyan walked westward. After walking for seven or eight miles, a narrow path appeared in front of her. There were gray-white mountain walls on both sides. The space was extremely narrow, allowing only one person to pass through. This kind of terrain is called a thin line of sky, and it has been a place for ambushes since ancient times.

"This is the only way to get out of the valley!"

Seeing the dangerous terrain, she couldn't help but be more cautious. She hid her left hand in her sleeve and walked into the narrow valley.

Halfway through the journey, Yang Yuyan's brows twitched and she was about to step back.

Between sizes.

The man walked out from the stone wall in front of him and thrust out a sword at high speed. The narrow sword pierced into her chest easily as if it had broken through several layers of silk.

Yang Yuyan was surprised to see the blood gushing out of her chest, and she felt very unwilling. The opponent was too fast. Was this the speed of a real Grade A Blood Shadow? In such a short distance, even a first-class master might not be able to defend against it, let alone her.

The Blood Shadow Assassin drew out his dagger, blood spurted out, and he did not stab out a second time.

Yang Yuyan leaned against the stone wall, covering the bloody hole. Her physical and internal strength had already been exhausted. She could not possibly be a match for this mysterious assassin. Moreover, the other party was so cautious and seriously injured her first.

She smiled bitterly and said, "As expected... of a Blood Shadow Assassin, banning weapons and eliminating violence, using the weak to defeat the strong!"

"You...are...weak!"

The Blood Shadow Assassin spoke slowly. His entire body was covered in a cloak that did not reach his ankles, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, staring at Yang Yuyan.

"But that's not fair!"

Yang Yuyan slowly sat down against the stone wall, looking as if she had given up resisting. She shook her head slightly and revealed a helpless bitter smile.

"Is there anything fair in this world?"

"If you had been treated fairly, you wouldn't have come here, right?"

The Blood Shadow Assassin's voice was dry and hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time.

Yang Yuyan nodded and said, "You are right! Lord Wan said so too."

"Master Wan, do you know Commander Wan?"

"Aren't you surprised?"

The corners of Yang Yuyan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a charming and youthful smile.

"Where are the women participating in the Blood Shadow Assassin selection?"

The Blood Shadow Assassin was obviously afraid and asked, "What is your relationship with the Commander?"

"you guess?"

At this moment, Yang Yuyan took advantage of his moment of distraction, quickly took out two black iron balls from her pocket, and threw them forward. After the huge explosion, colorful smoke rose from the ground and quickly spread.

The Five Poisons Fireworks Bombs refined by Liaodong Thunderbolt Hall are made of explosives mixed with a variety of poisons. The exploding glass fragments have great lethality and can also produce poisonous smoke. They are very popular among border troops and are often used to cover escape. Due to the scarcity of their number in the world, they are often out of stock.

Niu Jukui was a man of the world and was unwilling to be restricted by the Jinyiwei. Before leaving, he gave Yang Yuyan two five-poison firework bombs as self-defense.

"Cough cough cough..."

The blood shadow assassin rushed back three feet, and after the initial explosion, he stabbed dozens of times in the poisonous smoke, but all missed.

When he walked out of the poisonous smoke, there was a piece of broken iron stuck in his left eyeball and tears and blood were streaming.

There was only a line of blood on the ground at the entrance of the valley.

Yang Yuyan has already escaped from the valley...
