Don’t Show the Son

Chapter 69 Assassination at the City Gate



On the sixteenth day when Lingyin was away, I missed her.

Lin Xiu sat in the yard, looked up at the sky, and sighed softly.

People are cheap sometimes.

When Lingyin was by his side, Lin Xiu hoped that she would leave early, but now that Lingyin was gone, he hoped that she would come back soon.

After using Yuan Jing to break through his cultivation base, Lin Xiu's strength has basically not increased much in the past half month. Without the help of the spirit sound, his speed of practicing ice magic will become extremely slow, while Lin Xiu could still follow Dali before. To temper his strength, the current weight is no longer able to stimulate the limit of his body.

If he increased the training intensity to the same level as Sun Dali, no matter how stupid Sun Dali was, he would still be able to see that there was something wrong with him.

The first awakening of strength and ability is already the limit that ordinary humans can achieve. No matter how hard normal people exercise, they can't reach Lin Xiu's current level. Only different skills can do it.

So during this period of time, Lin Xiu could only take time to practice martial arts, but the true energy in her body had increased a lot, and she could already use it freely.

Today is still a day to miss Lingyin, Lin Xiu sat in the yard, Rhubarb lay at his feet, concentrating on dealing with a large piece of beef in the bowl.

The new servants of the Lin family all knew that this guard dog had a high status in the Lin Mansion and usually ate better than them, so no one dared to bully it.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the sky, and Da Huang jumped up from the ground in fright, looking around vigilantly.

Lin Xiu touched its head and said, It's nothing, it's just thunder.

Hearing Lin Xiu's words, Rhubarb got down on the ground again and continued cooking.

But at this time, Lin Xiu suddenly raised her head: Thunder?

At this moment, thick dark clouds have gathered in the sky, and within the dark clouds, there are lights flickering constantly, which are thunders that are brewing.

The practice of different arts is uncertain. Some of them are extremely energy-intensive to perform, and they can be quickly improved by overdrawing their energy, such as freezing and fire control. Some of them basically do not consume energy. Such as space, animal language, some strange arts can be cultivated anytime and anywhere, such as strength, and some strange arts require a special environment, freezing and thunder are the most typical two.

In the twelve months of the year, the practice speed of the ice magic is very slow for ten months, but in the coldest month, one day's practice can be equivalent to ten days and a half months on weekdays, which can be said to be one day. If it is not open every year, it will be open for one year.

The same is true for the power of thunder. Under normal circumstances, it can only be improved through the process of consuming yuan power and then slowly recovering. But once it encounters thunderstorms, it can be induced to infuse the body with thunder. Now is the best time to practice the power of thunder!

However, home is not the best place to practice.

After a while when he triggered the thunder, everyone nearby could see that the thunder fell one by one towards Lin's mansion. Those who didn't know it thought he had done something outrageous.

And that was too eye-catching, Lin Xiu was not so stupid.

He returned to the room, put on a servant's clothes that he had prepared a long time ago, covered his face tightly with a scarf, and walked out through the back door alone.

Ever since she learned that the person who assassinated her last time was not ordered by Yang Xuan, Lin Xiu became more careful.

He hid his identity, walked out of the East City Gate all the way, and then left the official road and ran towards a certain mountain outside the city. After leaving the official road, there was no one around. Lin Xiu didn't have to hide his strength, his explosive power far exceeded the limit of human And endurance, let him be as fast as a cheetah, and quickly disappear into the mountains.

Not long after, thunderbolts slanted down from the sky and landed somewhere in the mountains.

The hunters at the foot of the mountain are no strangers to this. It is not uncommon for thunderstorms to fall on the mountain. When they hunt, they often encounter charred trees struck by lightning.

It's just that there were too many lightning strikes today. Since just now, one after another, they haven't stopped...

in the mountains.

Under a giant tree.

Lin Xiu was being struck by lightning.

No, it should be him who is actively letting the lightning strike.

Those who have awakened the power of thunder can not only create thunder, but also induce thunder. During thunderstorms, they are the moving lightning rods, which can attract the thunder from the sky to practice at any time.

Thunderbolts as thick as arms fell from the sky and landed on Lin Xiu's body, but he was unharmed, and instead showed an expression of enjoyment.

In fact, Lin Xiu really enjoyed it. It turned out that being struck by lightning felt like this. It was numb, and the pores all over her body were stretched at this moment, which made people want to groan.

Although Lin Xiu's body was unscathed by the thunder, his clothes were turned into flying ash under the continuous bombardment of the thunder. Now he is completely naked. Fortunately, this place is deep in the mountains and old forests, and there are few people around. arrive.

Lin Xiu knew about this situation a long time ago, so he prepared multiple sets of clothes in his portable space.

However, when practicing in the future, it is better to take off your clothes first, so as not to waste a set every time.

At this moment, Lin Xiu's whole body was flashing with arc lights. Under the bombardment of thunder, the vitality in his body was growing rapidly at dozens of times the speed of his usual practice. This also proved once again that for him, the road to practice is not limited. One, the more abilities he has, the more ways he can practice, and the gap with those geniuses will gradually be bridged.

I don't know how long it took, the thunder gradually stopped falling in the sky, and the big raindrops fell down crackling.

The clothes that Lin Xiu had just put on were quickly wet by the rain.

Generally speaking, thunderstorms don't last very long, but even a short quarter of an hour is worth a month's worth of practice, and Lin Xiu is already very content.

He ran down the mountain in the heavy rain, and when he was about to reach the official road, he changed to a normal person's pace.

Because she was worried that she would miss the opportunity for thunder, Lin Xiu came out in a hurry, forgot to bring her umbrella, and ran down the mountain. She had already been drenched and looked very embarrassed.

At this moment, the rain was very strong, and there were no people on the official road. Occasionally, a carriage passed by, and they came and left in a hurry. When they passed by the puddles in the low-lying places, Lin Xiu was almost splashed with muddy water.

Another carriage came, and Lin Xiu got a little further away.

The owner of this carriage obviously had a different quality from the previous ones. When passing by Lin Xiu, his speed slowed down significantly.

When he came to Lin Xiu, the carriage stopped completely, and the man who drove the carriage smiled and said to Lin Xiu: Little brother, it's raining so hard, why don't you even hold an umbrella? Come on, I'll take you with you. Procedure.

Lin Xiu refused: No need, I'll be at the gate of the city right away, my house is near the gate of the city.

Seeing this, the man didn't force himself, he just waved to Lin Xiu and said with a smile, Then we'll go first.

At the moment he waved his hand, a cold light shot out from his cuff and hit Lin Xiu's eyebrows.

In an instant, Lin Xiu sensed a strong life-and-death crisis. The explosive power and reaction speed brought by the supernatural power technique far surpassed the limit of human beings, making him tilt his head at a critical moment. Through the middle, only a few strands of hair were taken away.

However, the crisis is far from over.

At the moment when the sleeve arrow fell into the air, a long sword appeared in the man's other hand at some point. Without giving Lin Xiu any time to react, the long sword pierced through the air, and there was a howling wind. The target was Lin Xiu's left chest. , the location of the heart.

As the long sword passed, the rain instantly transpired and turned into white mist. This was the effect of pouring true energy into the weapon.

If this sword stabbed, Lin Xiu's heart would be pierced directly.

Kachacha...

A thick layer of ice had condensed on Lin Xiu's chest. However, these ice layers did not form any obstacle to the long sword. The long sword stopped for a moment, and pierced through the ice layer like a bamboo, and pierced Lin Xiu's body. .

But it was also at this moment that Lin Xiu's body turned around. The sword did not pass through his chest, but his left shoulder.

Although the assassin was surprised by the target's reaction speed, he even dodged his two killing moves one after another, but as long as he activates his true energy at this moment, he can completely destroy his internal organs. Just as he was about to do so, he suddenly saw Suddenly, the pupils of the young man on the opposite side turned silver.

What's this!

Even the killer was used to seeing many scenes, but he couldn't help being startled at this moment.

He wanted to mobilize his true energy immediately and kill him with one blow, but the next moment, a strange force was transmitted from the long sword to his body, paralyzing his body instantly, making him unable to react.

Just when the assassin's whole body was temporarily paralyzed, an ordinary fist landed on his chest.
