However, at this moment, there was a person standing in the alley along the escape route.
The rain could not reach him, as if there was an invisible umbrella above his head. Or perhaps the rain was afraid of getting him wet.
When Masked Sun saw this person, it was as if he was suffocating. That pressure was as strong as the heavens.
"How could that be?"
This was the best escape route he had chosen. Why would Ying Cheng be standing here in advance?
"A little later than I expected.”Ying Cheng said slowly while holding the hilt of his sword.
According to the Network's style of doing things, they would retreat immediately after failure.
This was the shortest route from Violet Orchid Pavilion to the outskirts of the city, so if he wanted to escape, he naturally had to go through this place.
Therefore, Ying Cheng was 80% sure that he could wait until the sun was covered.
"Actually, I cherish your talents, but unfortunately, you have committed a crime.”Ying Cheng seemed to be somewhat regretful, but also seemed to be regretful that iron did not live up to expectations.
As someone who was deeply trusted by Lu Buwei, he knew what kind of person Ying Cheng was.
If it weren't for Lu Buwei, he would have joined Ying Cheng, but there were no ifs in this world.
Masked Sun smiled bitterly." My life was given to me by my master, so I naturally have to repay it with my life. Lord Marquis, let me see your sword!"”
When you're alive, you'll lose your head. When you're dead, you'll turn into grass. This was his pursuit.
He could still vaguely remember that it was a snowy day. When he was about to starve to death and freeze to death in a dilapidated alley, it was a mouthful of hot porridge that gave him new life.
"Follow me in the future.”
He had survived a hundred people and countless missions, which was why he had become the current Masked Sun.
It was to repay his kindness.
But now, he knew that he couldn't escape. Even at his peak, he wasn't Ying Cheng's opponent, let alone now.
Thus, he had the words to satisfy his needs for the only time in his life.
No matter what, Yin Ri was still a swordsman, and he was also very obsessed with the sword. He really wanted to know what kind of sword was used to kill the Startling Salamander and Si Kong Ma.
"Alright."
Even if this person was here to assassinate him, Ying Cheng still gave him a lot of respect. This person could be considered loyal, but it was a pity that he followed the wrong person.
Ying Cheng naturally had information about this person.
Lu Buwei had only given him a meal, but he had used his entire life to repay it. How many people could there be in the world like this?
Killers also had feelings.
However, Ying Cheng's prestige could not be damaged.
Ying Cheng made his move. The hand on the hilt of his sword moved, and a white light lit up the alley. A dark red light disappeared without a trace in this white light.
"From today onwards, the Masked Sun will disappear from this world.”
Fresh blood dripped down from the Qin sword and merged into the puddle.
On the way back, Ying Cheng coincidentally met Xuan Jian who was chasing after him. Blood was still flowing out from his abdomen, but Xuan Jian didn't know it.
"Master." Xuan Jian lowered his head and didn't say anything.
This time, due to his carelessness, he almost let Masked Sun escape and ruin Ying Cheng's plan.
But when he saw the Sun Concealment Sword in Ying Cheng's hand, the worry in Xuan Jian's heart also dissipated.
"Return to Qin and collect thirty wooden boards.”
Ying Cheng did not blame him. After all, their strengths were not much different and it was not Xuan Jian's fault. However, since he had made a mistake, he had to accept the punishment.
The battle had almost destroyed the buildings around Violet Orchid Pavilion.
The maids in Violet Orchid Pavilion came out of the secret passage and began to take care of the injured. Violet Maiden looked at Ying Cheng with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
She felt as if everything was under Ying Cheng's control. He had calculated everything perfectly.
That Yin Ri hadn't even escaped yet, but Ying Cheng already knew his escape route. Could it be that he could really see into the future like the legends said?
"What's the matter, Miss Violet Girl?" Ying Cheng saw Violet looking at him and asked.
Hearing Ying Cheng's sudden question, Violet's face immediately felt a little hot. She quickly found an excuse and said,"It's nothing. I'm just curious why your martial arts are so high.”
Yan Lingji said as if she felt the atmosphere was not right.
"Master has just sent word that Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei have broken through the palace gates.”
The palace was broken in less than ten minutes. Yan Lingji was very suspicious of Han Fei. Now she wanted to persuade Ying Cheng to leave Xinzheng and join Wang Ben's army so that Ying Cheng's safety could be guaranteed.
Moreover, the Qin army had already arrived at the border of Korea. According to the intelligence, if the Qin army was fast, they would probably be attacking Korea by now.
" You guys stay here and guard Purple Orchid Pavilion." Ying Cheng instructed the people from the Network.
"Yes." Everyone hurriedly bowed and agreed.
Han Fei, let's see how you defend against such a big gap in the strength of the army.
