The Legend of the Young Swordsman: A Prequel - A Phantom Melody Embarks on a Journey Through the Mar

The shadowy figure clutched his pierced neck, blood gushing from his mouth. He opened his mouth as if to speak, only to find that the flying needle had not only pierced his neck but also destroyed his throat.

He was unable to utter a single word at that moment.

My body wouldn't obey my commands and I fell to the ground!

boom!

A sound, neither loud nor soft, came from the ground. He fell to the ground, his body twitched a few times, and then he became completely still.

In the room

The noise from outside startled Helian Yun Shen from his sleep. Upon waking, he immediately reached out and grabbed the jade flute, ready to play it at any moment.

"Young Master Xi, is there any situation?"

"There was a petty thief by the window just now, and I've already taken care of him, but I don't know anything about him. I'm not sure how many of them there were."

Turning to look at Helian Yun Shen, who had already been awakened, Yue Yao briefly explained to him.

Listening to Yueyao's explanation, Helian Yun Shen became even more vigilant, and at the same time, he recalled what he had felt before going to sleep.

'It seems my vigilance back then wasn't a problem!'

As he thought this to himself, he gradually brought the jade flute in his hand to his lips.

And outside

With everyone witnessing their companion's death, all eyes turned to the leader, who was now in a state of panic.

Forcing himself to calm down, he waved to signal to continue, because if they didn't continue now, the chances of them being able to take action later would be too small.

It's very dangerous; you could die here.

But at this point, all we can do is take a gamble. As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. If we don't try, we'll fail and lose both the mission rewards and the prize money.

Ultimately, their reputation will also be damaged in the assassin world.

The impact will be even greater in the future!

Success would have the exact opposite result.

On the roof

The two assassins, who were already prepared, sprinkled the muscle-relaxing powder into the room.

in the room

Seeing the white powder drifting down, Yueyao instantly realized something was wrong and tried to warn Helian Yunshen beside her. Unexpectedly, Helian Yunshen was faster than her, and his warning came much quicker.

"Leave the room!"

After saying those four words, he pushed open the door and ran out of the room.

See this scene

Yueyao hurriedly ran out, and after leaving the room, Helian Yun Shen immediately played "Water Moon Mirror".

The moment the music was played

Ripples appeared on the surrounding water, and the figures of Lei Mengsha, Xiao Ruofeng, and Luo Xuan appeared beside Helian Yunshen. The three of them were almost identical to Helian Yunshen.

The only difference is the color of their eyes.

The three people being played on the wind had black eyes.

'We should strive to perfect this piece in the future, so that we can create illusions and mirror images that are even more powerful than their actual abilities.'

Looking at the three people beside him, Helian Yun Shen thought to himself.

In such muttering

The two quickly rushed out of the inn and came to the courtyard outside. They saw the fleeing people.

With a glance, Lei Mengsha and his two companions chased after the group.

Of the three, Xiao Ruofeng was faster, directly blocking the way of the fleeing people. He then unleashed his martial arts skills, swinging his fists to attack their leader.

The assassin leader looked at Xiao Ruofeng with a mixture of fear and seriousness on his face.

"How come he's in the room? Isn't he in Tianqi City?"

He muttered a few words of disbelief, then raised his arm and unleashed a palm strike to meet Xiao Ruofeng's attacking fist. In this exchange, the two were evenly matched for a moment.

And in the back

Lei Mengsha and Luo Xuan also caught up with these people.

Luo Xuan put the jade flute to his lips and played a tune. The moment he played the tune, the fleeing crowd seemed to be subjected to some kind of mental attack.

I felt a sharp pain in my head.

My steps slowed down considerably.

Taking advantage of the moment, Lei Mengsha unleashed his Wufang Fist at the group, striking the two closest individuals with a single punch.

The two people who were hit spat out blood and flew backward. Seeing the situation of the two, the others endured the stinging pain in their heads and continued to run away.

Yueyao stared in shock at the scene before her.

'I never imagined Yun Shen was telling the truth; the phantoms of those figures he conjured on his flute truly possessed the skill and talent of the real people!'

He murmured this in his mind, still shocked.

Then Yueyao raised her hand and launched some more flying needles from her sleeve, which attacked the people at an extremely fast speed.

The crowd, preoccupied with escaping, completely failed to notice the attack of Yueyao's flying needles and hidden weapons.

Swish! !

The flying needles hit many people directly, and the different acupoints and locations where the needles hit resulted in different symptoms.

Some people were spitting out blood, looking like they were seriously injured.

Some people continued to run away without much trouble, while others were even immobilized.

Lei Mengsha, who was swinging his fists and attacking, looked at the people who were frozen in place and threw a punch directly at their backs.

It shattered the heart meridians of these people in an instant!

The moment his heart was shattered, he bled from all seven orifices, collapsed to the ground, and died.

"damn it!"

Seeing his men dying one after another, the leader was furious, his eyes bloodshot, and he wanted to get rid of Xiao Ruofeng's entanglement.

However, his own strength was only on par with Xiao Ruofeng's, so he was unable to escape Xiao Ruofeng's attacks. He was easily distracted.

Xiao Ruofeng would then seize the opportunity.

Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Ruofeng launched a sharp attack, aiming directly at the man's heart.

Faced with such a deadly attack, the leader placed his hands on his chest to deflect Xiao Ruofeng's attack, thus averting the fatal blow.

However, he was still pushed back a great distance by Xiao Ruofeng.

When he finally came to a stop, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, indicating that he had suffered a serious injury.

Seeing Lei Mengsha and Luo Xuan handling these people with ease, Yueyao rushed towards Xiao Ruofeng. The moment she arrived, she unleashed another attack with her flying needles.

"Go away!"

With a loud shout, he turned around and unleashed a palm strike.

The palm strike directly knocked away the flying needles. Seeing this, Yueyao drew the soft sword from her waist.

Attack with the soft sword in your hand.

However, this soft sword attack doesn't look very good, and it's easy to tell at a glance that this person is not skilled with a sword.

"With such mediocre swordsmanship, what right do you have to use a sword to attack?"

The sarcastic words came out of this person's mouth without any attempt to conceal them.

The moment he spoke, he slightly dodged and dodged Yueyao's attack with his soft sword.

Seeing Yueyao's situation from behind, Helian Yun Shen knew what to do. He immediately unleashed his fist techniques, attacking the leader. The leader, facing Xiao Ruofeng's onslaught,...

He could only dodge and stop pressing his advantage against Yueyao.
