don't show

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 today's thunderstorms are too much. 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. When there is a thunderstorm, 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 cultivate, and the gap with those geniuses will gradually be bridged.

I don't know how long it took, the thunder gradually stopped falling from 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 was obviously not of the same quality as 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 force and reaction speed brought by the supernatural power technique far surpassed the limit of human beings, which made 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.

clack clack...

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 is 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.

Chapter 69 One Punch

boom!

Lin Xiu's fist landed on the man's chest, the killer's chest was sunken directly, the clothes on his back burst, and a fist mark appeared, and his heart also burst open under this punch.

If his body is not paralyzed, he will naturally have time to react.

As long as he protects his body with true energy, this punch will at most cause him some minor injuries.

Unfortunately, no if.

A martial artist who has lost his true energy has a mortal body like an ordinary person, and for Lin Xiu, a mortal body only needs one punch.

Kill with one punch.

The killer couldn't even figure out what the mysterious power that paralyzed him was. How could a poor guy who had just awakened his ability and had a low level of martial arts have such great strength...

boom!

The dead killer's body crashed to the ground, and the horse pulling the cart was frightened and galloped forward, before disappearing in the rain.

At the gate of the city ahead, some patrolling guards have already discovered the situation here and are trotting here.

Lin Xiu's body energy was extremely empty, and the wound was also in severe pain. He looked at the sword still stuck in his shoulder, and felt dizzy again and again...

……

Lin House.

Today's heavy rain has stopped, the courtyard of the Lin Mansion is full of people, and there is almost no place to stay in Lin Xiu's room.

The assassination at the gate of the city triggered many follow-ups.

Uncle Ping'an and his wife stood in front of the bed. Zhou Yun held Lin Xiu's hand worriedly and asked, "Xiu'er, how do you feel? Does the wound hurt?"

Being almost pierced with a sword, the wound is naturally very painful, but Lin Xiu still smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, it's all skin trauma, and it didn't hurt the vitals."

Uncle Ping'an looked gloomy, and gritted his teeth: "Who the hell is assassinating you again and again, what kind of hatred does he have with our Lin family!"

At this time, there was a commotion outside, and a beautiful figure squeezed in from the door, saying, "Let's go, let's go, I'm a doctor from Tai Hospital..."

Bai Shuangshuang squeezed into the bed, and when she saw Lin Xiu, who was lying on the bed but still awake, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to everyone in the room: "I'm going to treat Mr. Lin, please go out first, I need to keep quiet .”

Since it was someone from the Tai Hospital, everyone naturally withdrew.

Bai Shuangshuang sat in front of the bed and asked, "Where is your injury?"

Lin Xiu pulled down the quilt, revealing the wound on her shoulder. Seeing this, Bai Shuangshuang blurted out in surprise, "How could it be so badly injured..."

Lin Xiu smiled, and said, "It's a good thing I didn't hurt my vitals. The assassin's target was my chest. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you."

Hearing the news of Lin Xiu's injury, Bai Shuangshuang hurried over. After seeing Lin Xiu's wound, she was actually slightly relieved.

Although the wound on the shoulder looked terrible, as Lin Xiu said, it was just a serious trauma, and it was not difficult to treat.

She said to Lin Xiu: "Mr. Lin, please uncover the quilt, and I will treat you."

Lin Xiu lifted the quilt, revealing her naked upper body.

This body has no excess fat, and the pectoral and abdominal muscles are not protruding, but it looks very stylish even after taking off clothes. Bai Shuangshuang didn't know that Lin Xiu's body was so attractive, so she opened her small mouth slightly, and even subconsciously used her index finger He poked Lin Xiu's chest muscles.

Only then did she realize what had happened, her face blushed slightly, and she quickly sat upright, then stretched out her hands, and put her palms on Lin Xiu's wound.

After Miss Shuangshuang touched his body, Lin Xiu didn't feel any pain. On the contrary, there was a warm and comfortable feeling at the wound where the skin of the two touched.

Of course, Lin Xiu was not idle at the moment. When Shuangshuang put her hands on his shoulders, a force entered her body silently.

Did not expect to come to this step in the end.

When she was treating Sun Dali last time, Lin Xiu was thinking whether to intentionally injure her, and then ask Miss Shuangshuang to treat her, so as to obtain her abilities. Now it's a good thing, before he can make up his mind, someone else made the decision for him.

He could clearly feel that there was a new kind of power being copied into his body bit by bit.

This time, Miss Shuangshuang sat in front of Lin Xiu's bed for a long time, which showed that Lin Xiu's injuries could not be easily treated with her current ability.

Two quarters of an hour later, Lin Xiu only felt a weight on her chest, and a soft body with a faint fragrance, just fell down like this.

Bai Shuangshuang's face was very pale, and even her lips lost the color. She wanted to support her body and get up from Lin Xiu, but she couldn't pull up any strength, so she had to lie on Lin Xiu's body, blushing and weakly said: "Lin Xiu , Mr. Lin, I have no strength..."

At this time, most of the wound on Lin Xiu's shoulder had healed. He sat up from the bed, hugged her with his other hand, and said, "Thank you, Miss Shuangshuang, I will send you to the wing to rest."

Bai Shuangshuang was picked up by Lin Xiu, and her head rested on Lin Xiu's chest. He hadn't put on any clothes yet. She was feeling weak at the moment, and her little face was slightly hot, so she had to bury her head on her chest, and whispered, "Wait, wait for me. Recover your strength, and then continue to help you treat..."

Lin Xiu carried her into the wing room, and within a few short steps, she fell asleep in Lin Xiu's arms. It can be seen how much the treatment just now had consumed her.

Lin Xiu put her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, then closed the door and went back to her room.

Feeling a kind of extra power in her body, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xiu's mouth. She coveted Shuangshuang girl's ability for so long, and now, she finally got her wish.

After returning to the room, it took Lin Xiu a long time to comfort her mother. Just as Mrs. Ping'an left, a figure walked in from the outside, it was Liu Qingfeng.

He walked to the bed and asked Lin Xiu, "Master Lin, are you alright?"

Lin Xiu smiled and said, "I can't die."

"As long as Mr. Lin is fine." Liu Qingfeng said: "I am here this time to investigate the assassination incident. I have some questions. I want to ask Mr. Lin. I wonder if Mr. Lin is convenient now."

Lin Xiu nodded and said, "Just ask."

Liu Qingfeng looked at him and asked, "Why did Mr. Lin go out of the city alone today, and wear the clothes of a servant of the Lin family?"

There is nothing to hide, Lin Xiu said: "Master Liu should know that not long ago, I also encountered an assassination incident, and I almost died that time. Later, I became more careful and always brought guards with me when I went out. One time, I stayed in the city for a long time, feeling bored, and wanted to go out of the city to get some fresh air. In order not to attract attention, I changed my clothes on purpose and left through the back door. I didn't expect such a thing to happen when I came back. "

This reason makes sense. Liu Qingfeng looked at Lin Xiu and said, "It seems that the person who wants to assassinate Mr. Lin has been watching you."

Lin Xiu didn't realize this until today. In the city, especially after he moved, it was much more difficult to attack him. Naturally, the best place to assassinate him was outside the city.

The only time he left the city was when he met an assassin. There was only one possibility, and that was that his whereabouts were under the control of others all the time.

Liu Qingfeng continued to ask: "Master Lin, is there anyone who doubts?"

Lin Xiu shook her head. Although he didn't offend anyone, there were too many people who wanted him dead because of that marriage contract. Countless people had motives for committing crimes, so they couldn't be suspected at all.

Liu Qingfeng thought for a while, looked at Lin Xiu again, and said, "There is one more thing, I am very strange."

Lin Xiu asked, "What's the matter?"

Liu Qingfeng said: "We have already found out the identity of the assassin who assassinated Mr. Lin. This person is named Liu Qing, and he is a well-known assassin. With his martial arts cultivation base, how did Master Lin kill him?"

He continued without pausing, "As far as I know, Mr. Lin's ability of different arts has only been awakened for two months."

That killer's strength is indeed very strong. In a frontal fight, even if Lin Xiu's strength is far superior to ordinary people, he is not his opponent. This person's real strength will not be weaker than Lingyin.

If Lin Xiu hadn't acquired the power of thunder not long ago, which created a short time for him at a critical moment, today, he would not have escaped death.

Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Speaking of which, I'm lucky. Not long ago, I used Yuanjing to awaken the magic of ice for the second time, and the martial arts also succeeded in entraining energy. The killer stabbed me with a sword. At that time, I condensed an ice armor on my chest, slightly blocked the sword's momentum, and prevented him from stabbing the vital point, then directed my true energy to my fist, and bombarded this person's chest with all my strength..."

What Lin Xiu described was no different from the traces Liu Qingfeng saw at the scene.

There was residual ice left at the scene, the assassin's chest was sunken, and his heart was broken, which was the only cause of his death. It looked like a beautiful counter-kill.

But there is another key loophole.

Liu Qingfeng showed doubts, and said: "I'm curious about one thing, that assassin has a good martial arts cultivation, and under the condition of protecting his body with true energy, it is impossible to kill him with one punch with Mr. Lin's martial arts cultivation. , why..."

Lin Xiu shook her head, interrupted him, and said, "I don't know why he didn't protect his body with true energy. I'm afraid Mr. Liu can only ask this person himself..."

The assassin was already dead, so Liu Qingfeng naturally had no way to ask. The only possibility was that when the assassin assassinated Lin Xiu, he poured all his true energy into the weapon, resulting in the emptiness of true energy in his body, and was killed by Lin Xiu. .
