Chapter 17 The tragedy of annihilation
Liang Hui stared at the twisted blood words on the ground and showed a look of realization.

So this is where the problem occurred?

As the cause and effect came to an end, the figure who collapsed to the ground did not stop sliding his fingers, and wrote tremblingly:

"Sir, can you spare my life?"

Staring at the last words written in blood, begging for life.

Liang Hui stood up straight and slowly shook his head in the face of his desperate gaze.

The next moment, the right foot kicked him on the neck.

Amid the crisp sound of breaking, the figure on the ground became silent.

Liang Hui's figure soon disappeared into the dark alley.

Not long after, several stealthy figures crept into the alley.

After seeing the figure collapsed on the ground, several people's eyes flashed with surprise, and they immediately rushed forward and stripped off the clothes of the corpse.

Soon, there was only a naked male corpse left in the alley.

A slender figure appeared at the entrance of the alley again, took a deep look at the corpse on the ground, and then left.

All traces have been cleared, and the government should not find any valuable clues through normal searches, unless of course they use Taoist magic.

But is it worth asking the Taoist priest for such a lowly life in the eyes of the court?
Not to mention that occasional casualties in the city are very normal.

But is there still a hidden danger that needs to be cleared?

Liang Hui, walking on the street, looked up in the direction of the leather shop. The owner should be the only person who knew that he owned the furs of exotic animals.

He frowned slightly, but still walked quickly towards the tavern.

Soon he returned to the tavern again, and after eating the dinner prepared by the tavern, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Time passed by minute by minute and the night grew darker.

Suddenly, Liang Hui, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes abruptly, casually tore off a piece of black cloth and wrapped it around his face, while the crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard continuously.

Wait until the facial bone changes are completed.

He gently opened the window and climbed onto the second floor like a cat.

With another jump, he was already on the street.

According to the plan that had been made long ago, Liang Hui quickly went to a blacksmith shop.

As he ran along the streets, leaning against the shadows cast by the houses, he met more than one group of people dressed similarly.

However, both sides just glanced at each other casually, and then passed each other cautiously.

About fifteen minutes later, Liang Hui arrived at the door of a blacksmith shop.

At this time, the door of the blacksmith shop was half open, and the low sound of iron hammering could be heard from the courtyard.

Liang Hui lowered his footsteps and rushed in.

As soon as I entered, I saw the waiter dozing off at the counter and the fire in the courtyard.

After that, he turned his gaze to the various weapons hanging on the wall. Without looking at them for too long, he just stared at a very ordinary longbow.

The next moment, he suddenly exerted force with his legs, jumped over the counter, took the longbow and arrow from the wall, and left quickly.

At the same time, some small pieces of silver were placed on the counter.

"Thief! Thief! Master thief!"

Even though Liang Hui was extremely fast, he still woke up the sleeping guy.

He looked up at the dark figure disappearing at the door and immediately shouted.

Before he finished his words, a sturdy man with his upper body naked ran over with a hammer in his hand.

"Where is the thief? What did he steal?"

At this time, the guy woke up completely from his sleep and looked at the weapons on the wall.

After a moment, he said uncertainly:
"Master, it seems that a common bow and some arrows are missing."

"You've seen it wrong. Nothing is missing." The big man picked up the silver coins on the counter and weighed them a few times.

After a pause, he said with some regret:

"Zeng Zhuang, next time you are on night duty, you must be more vigilant. Be careful that you may be beheaded at any time."

"Master, I've got it." Zeng Zhuang nodded, also feeling a little nervous.

the other side.

Liang Hui was running quickly on the street, holding the longbow. He pulled the bowstring a few times to feel the strength, and then put it on his back.

Soon the leather shop I had visited in the morning came into view.

He stared at the shop in front of him with cold eyes, and without hesitation, he climbed over the wall and entered.

Tao You tossed and turned in his bed, unable to fall asleep, and always felt that something was going to happen.

Crunch!

"Brother Tao, my brother hasn't come back yet. I hope nothing has happened to him."

A middle-aged woman who still had some charm pushed open the door and said with some concern.

After a pause, she walked to the bedside and whispered, "He has never been out this late."

The brother-in-law who did not return home late at night, the blue animal fur, and the unwillingness in his eyes when I refused.

A chill went straight from the top of his head to his brain, and he finally found the reason why he had trouble falling asleep.

That idiot, he must have still given up the idea of ​​stealing the furs of the exotic beasts. How dare he do that!

"Brother Tao, why do you suddenly look so pale?" The middle-aged woman bent down and asked with concern.

"Wife, let's go to the government office tomorrow"

Stab it!

The arrow went through his heart and got stuck in the wall.

The warm blood sprayed on Tao You's pale face.

Looking up, I vaguely saw a dark shadow standing on the wall.

"Brother Tao, Brother Tao..." The middle-aged woman looked at the bloody hole on her chest blankly, at a loss as to what to do.

call out!call out!
Two arrows with cold metallic light pierced through the window in an instant like silver snakes under the moonlight.

One bullet instantly pierced the woman's neck, ending her life.

One of them went towards Tao You's face.

Ah!
Amid the roar, Tao You ignored the grief of his wife's departure and tried his best to shake his head to avoid the arrow.

But the arrow was too fast, and even though his wife's death gave him time to react, he still couldn't completely dodge it.

The arrow streaked across his cheek, leaving a deep bloody mark.

Before there could be any other reaction, two more arrows were shot at him.

One pierced his arm and pinned him to the bed, and one went through his chest.

The arrows did not end at this point. One arrow after another flew across the night sky and shot towards Tao You's fat body.

puff!puff!puff!
The sound of metal entering flesh continued to be heard.

Liang Hui stopped shooting until he had used up all his arrows and threw his longbow aside.

Through the moonlight and the broken window, I saw the shopkeeper who had been shot into a hornet's nest.

The figure jumped down and disappeared into the night.

It was not until half an hour later that the neighbors around the store dared to knock on the door to check on the situation.

However, no one answered the door no matter how hard they knocked, and the neighbors realized that something might have happened to the shopkeeper's family.

The authorities were informed overnight.

At this time, Liang Hui had already returned to the tavern.

Lying on the bed thinking about today's killing.

The owner of the leather shop is actually not weak. He should also be at the leather refining level and has already gone a long way in this realm.

But under the long-range arrows, he was shot to death without any resistance.

It seems that we will have to continue to enhance the striking capabilities of bows and arrows and other long-range weapons in the future, and of course we must also prepare defensive measures against such attacks.
