Chapter 243 The Shadow Visitor (Thanks to the leader of Xuanyuan Qinghuan!)
After following Liu Banxian for another round, and knowing the layout of the venue clearly, Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu quietly walked away from Liu Banxian.
Instead of walking around the venue, they walked up the stairwell, which led to the backstage of the dinner.
People from the Pan-Asian Chamber of Commerce are said to be resting in the back.
"It's very likely that people in the club will recognize me." Yin Xiu said in a low voice.
Ma Xiaoyu glanced at him and said, "You have become like this, how can they still recognize you? You had a very happy chat with Shisan and Long Gen just now."
Yin Xiu didn't take it seriously, "Those are just two mortals. If I can't scare them, then I might as well stop messing around."
As he said that, he put his hand close to Ma Xiaoyu and said, "Do you want to hear it?"
Ma Xiaoyu leaned her face in doubt. Besides the smell of perfume, she also smelled a faint smell of burning coal ash.
This is a smell that Yin Xiu will pick up after every fierce battle, and it won't dissipate for several days.
"Understand? You can smell it. Those vampires fought with me all night. I'm afraid they can recognize me even if I turn into ashes."
"Then how..."
Before Ma Xiaoyu finished speaking, Yin Xiu pulled him closer, and the two of them were almost close to each other.
"Do you believe I killed you?" Ma Xiaoyu gritted her teeth.
"Hush, there's a guy from the club coming over."
Ma Xiaoyu was a little surprised, turned her head slightly, and sure enough she saw a woman walking slowly over, trembling every step of the way.
"I'm sorry, didn't I bother you?"
That person is Elena.
After Yin Xiu saw Elena, she moved closer to Ma Xiaoyu and smiled at her: "No, no, we are the ones blocking your way."
Ma Xiaoyu was quite speechless at this time, but she could do nothing. She could only let Yin Xiu lean on him and dilute his scent with her own fragrance.
Sure enough, Elena walked around Yin Xiu several times intentionally or unintentionally, but she didn't find anything strange.
She said calmly: "The Pan-Asian Chamber of Commerce has reserved an entire floor of guest rooms downstairs. If necessary, you can go downstairs."
"As for this place, please do not enter here unless you are authorized to do so. I hope you will understand."
Yin Xiu immediately laughed happily and said, "That's great. We are in hot water right now. Thank you Miss Elena for your guidance."
"You're welcome, we are all young people, I know this feeling!"
Elena said, and after touching Ma Xiaoyu's leg intentionally or unintentionally, she was surprised for a moment, and then cast an encouraging look at Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu immediately smiled back and pulled Ma Xiaoyu out quickly.
Elena watched the two walking away, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.
She looked at a shadow and said: "There is something wrong with these two people. I guess they are not on the invitation list at all. Follow them and find out their details for me."
The shadow shook for a moment, as if something had gotten out of it, and then returned to stagnant water.
After issuing the order, Elena looked at her right hand again, and there was a burn mark on her fingertips.
After turning the corner of the corridor, Ma Xiaoyu put her hand into her skirt and took out a silver flying knife.
There were several black fingerprints on it.
Yin Xiu covered her forehead, "So I said that everyone should be happy when attending the banquet. Who are you bringing?"
Ma Xiaoyu glared at him, "Don't worry, that woman, I will kill her myself later."
"What about the others?"
Ma Xiaoyu pulled up a corner of her skirt, revealing the magic weapon on her thigh, "Kill it together."
Yin Xiu sighed, "Well, I originally wanted to outwit you."
"If outwitness is useful, why should I bring so many guys with me?"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them turned around and shot the talismans in their hands toward the shadow on the wall.
Suddenly there was a thunderous light in the corridor, illuminating the ceiling.
After a muffled groan, the shadow fell into pieces and scattered around.
Because of the use of magic, Yin Xiu returned to his original appearance as the white smoke evaporated.
"Shadow magic," he said.
Seeing those shadows escaping, Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu did not pursue them, but just stood back to back.
Sure enough, after discovering that they were not pursuing them, the shadows turned back and surrounded them from all directions, like sharks in the ocean ready to attack schools of fish at any time.
Yin Xiu made a rough count and found that there might be more than one hand of enemies here.
Ma Xiaoyu held the talisman paper with one hand, touched behind her back with the other hand, and took out the three-color ruler.
Yin Xiu couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Holy crap, how did you do this? No wonder I kept feeling something pushing against me from behind."
Ma Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him.
"Why, you are allowed to stand up to others, but others are not allowed to stand up to you?"
Yin Xiu pursed her lips and said, "You can support me in any way you like."
While the two were chatting, one of the shadows finally couldn't hold it any longer and tentatively dropped from the ceiling, attacking Yin Xiu's head.
Yin Xiu didn't wait for the shadow to completely fall from the ceiling, and then quickly flew up with a kick, from bottom to top, leading an arc towards the opponent.
Seeing Yin Xiu's menacing approach, the figure hanging down like melted asphalt suddenly retracted to the ceiling.
At the same time, at Yin Xiu's feet, another shadow took the opportunity to come out and go straight to his crotch.
Yin Xiu didn't care, and just turned around to attack another enemy who attacked Ma Xiaoyu from the side.
Just when the shadow under his feet was about to succeed, Ma Xiaoyu, who had been ignoring the enemies around him, finally took action.
The ruler in her hand thrust forward like lightning, bringing out a brilliant rainbow light, and then the shadow seemed to be stuck to her ruler and was pulled out by her.
The darkness faded, and the man emerged from the shadows.
Wearing white clothes and white trousers, his face was covered by a scarf, only his strong bronze arms and frightened eyes were exposed.
"Assassin from West Asia!"
Ma Xiaoyu slapped the man on the chest, and the unlucky assassin immediately flew backwards. Blood passed through the veil and splashed everywhere.
Assassin, the English name for a mysterious organization in the West Asian desert, translates to assassins.
When the English and French armies first entered the mysterious ancient kingdom in the desert, they encountered the greetings of these professional killers passed down from generation to generation, and suffered heavy losses.
They assassinated people regardless of day or night. They had to be careful every moment when sleeping, eating, and going to the toilet.
They have almost no specific identity or characteristics. Sometimes there is an old man or a child sitting next to you, and the other person asks you for a piece of candy, and they can kill you without any sound.
Sometimes a small group would spend the night sitting around a campfire, and they might wake up the next day with their throats cut while they were still sitting there.
It wasn't until the foreign army entered the capital of that kingdom that this long, sleepless nightmare finally ended.
After the war, these businessmen discovered new business opportunities, and they sold Assassin's force to the world. As long as you can afford the price, an assassin will appear from the shadows at any time to serve you.
After killing an Assassin, the remaining assassins stopped acting rashly and sneaked into the wall again, continuing to patrol.
Obviously they didn't expect that Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu had such a good rapport.
When one person attacks, the other person provides cover for the other person, and this cover is mutual.
Giving your back to the other person requires not only tacit understanding, but also trust.
You can't do it simply by spending time training.
After these killers escaped into the wall again, Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu looked at each other, and almost at the same time, they ran towards the lower stairs.
The shadow magic used by these Assassins is obviously higher than that of Yin Xiu. For example, they can walk through the wall at will, appear and disappear, and quickly switch between the two states.
As for Yin Xiu's [Shadow Travel], the moment he ends his hiding state and appears, he will have to decide whether to live or die, or change his battle plan.
Because there is no second chance to escape, he cannot switch repeatedly.
Knowing the convenience of traveling by shadow and its unpredictable nature, Yin Xiu did not dare to be careless.
Behind them, the Assassins followed like a shadow. The ceiling, walls, and floors were all these eerie ghosts.
"Are these guys considered humans or ghosts?" Yin Xiu asked.
"I don't know now, but they will become ghosts soon."
Ma Xiaoyu already held a tube of talisman paper in her hand. It was not the three talisman papers she bought from Junhuo Li before, but other talisman papers, all black and yellow, with gloomy red runes painted on them.
Apparently, Ma Xiaoyu discovered the convenience of sealing talismans in glass tubes, so he copied all the rare talismans and put them in the glass tubes.
"It's not yet time."
Yin Xiu shook his head, "They are too scattered now. I'm afraid it's impossible to deal with them all at once with just one spell."
"I know."
Ma Xiaoyu glanced at him and said, "But if it were you, there would definitely be something you can do, right?"
Yin Xiu grinned, "Of course."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two men's feet suddenly accelerated, pulling the shadows far away.
The Assassins didn't communicate with each other verbally, and didn't even look at each other. They just paused briefly and then accelerated to catch up.
Just for a moment, Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu disappeared from the corner of the stairs and rushed to the next floor.
[They cannot be allowed to leave the hotel. 】
【Go to that person...】
With this idea in mind, the Assassins accelerated towards the corner.
At this moment, another strange shadow bumped in and got mixed up with them.
Obviously, this sudden change made them all confused, and they couldn't help but huddled at the corner of the narrow stairwell and stopped.
"The Dragon God issued an order, and the Water God Yin Ji used her method to punish evil spirits!"
Ma Xiaoyu's skirt was flying, her hair was flying, she was holding the tube of talisman in her hand and pointing this way.
The moment she pointed it over, Yin Xiu released the [Shadow Walking] state and fell down from the ceiling at a 90-degree angle with his head down and his feet up.
From Ma Xiaoyu's hand, a seal flew out, rubbed Yin Xiu's cheek, and penetrated into the ceiling.
Immediately afterwards, a golden light overflowed the entire ceiling, as if high-voltage electricity was connected.
A series of muffled groans came from the ceiling, and the assassins fell from above one after another, in the same posture as Yin Xiu, falling upside down on their heads and feet.
It's just that Yin Xiu opened his eyes with a smile, while these people rolled their eyes and lost their vitality.
When her scalp was about to hit the ground, Yin Xiu twisted around in the air, put her hands on the ground, and stood on the ground properly again.
As for those Assassins, their bodies rumbled when they landed. Even if they hadn't been killed by the spell before, I'm afraid their necks would have been broken directly by this fall.
Yin Xiu grinned and said: "Where did you get such a powerful spell? It can be used against monsters and ghosts. It can even be used against humans who are hiding and can kill them instantly."
"Is it awesome?"
The corners of Ma Xiaoyu's mouth raised slightly, then she calmed down quickly, and rolled her eyes at Yin Xiu, "I have something even more powerful. If you dare to mess around next time, I can ask you to try it." .”
"I'm afraid I won't have this chance. You know I never mess around."
"You better be."
As the two talked and laughed, their physical strength had recovered a lot.
After tidying up a bit, I was ready to go up again.
Since the other party has noticed their arrival, spying in secret is also spying, and walking up to them openly can also be regarded as spying to a certain extent. It's the same anyway.
"By the way, why don't you call Uncle Ming for help?" Ma Xiaoyu asked.
"Hey, why is he here? Even a handsome man like me has to rely on Liu Banxian to get in here, let alone Uncle Ming. He is not allowed to enter even in the kitchen even in his nightgown!"
"That's true."
Ma Xiaoyu winked playfully.
The two walked as they talked, and now they had returned to their original position. After walking up a few steps, they could return to the floor where the cocktail party was held.
"That's right."
Yin Xiu suddenly said: "When tonight's things are over, I want to..."
Before he finished speaking, a black shadow jumped out and crashed into his arms like a cannonball.
Before Ma Xiaoyu could react, she saw a burly man wearing golden carved armor, armed from head to teeth, smashing the railings and stairs with Yin Xiu, and falling down.
The concrete floor was like paper in the face of such a huge force, shattering upon impact. By the time the two fell to the bottom, the smoke and dust raised had covered the entire stairwell.
Ma Xiaoyu took out his ruler and was looking down while holding on to the broken railing when another bloody light stabbed above his head.
She jumped away quickly, and the place where she was standing was smashed into pieces by a bloody whip, causing sand and gravel to fly.
As soon as Ma Xiaoyu felt the breath and shape of the long whip, she knew the identity of the person who came. Without raising her head, she fired the silver dagger at hand as a flying knife, causing a burst of exclamations.
This momentarily forced the opponent back, and also allowed Ma Xiaoyu to see clearly the identity of the person coming.
That person was Elena. She was standing on the stairs one floor above, arrogant, staring at Ma Xiaoyu with her chin.
"We meet again, lovely Miss Taoist priest."
Hi, I would like to thank Brother Xuanyuan Qinghuan for being the leader. This is the first time I have received such an expensive gift. It is really expensive. Red bean puree Aligaduo.
I have been taking care of patients recently. I get up before 7 o'clock every day and don't rest until 12 o'clock. With the update, I can only barely survive at 4k. I'm really sorry. When the matter is over, I will resume the day 6, or challenge the day 8.
Thank you all for your continued subscription and support!
