I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Zheng Pei had been tortured for days and was already at the end of his strength. He had no strength to struggle at all. His face was swollen red, his throat was squeaking loudly, and his legs were getting lighter and weaker.

Only then did the system enter the prison cell and lightly tapped the killer on the wrist.

A numb and helpless feeling spread throughout the body. The killer let go of his hand involuntarily, and Zheng Pei escaped from death, breathing rapidly with his mouth wide open, like a fish that was thrown ashore to die.

"No, senior, what do you mean?" The killer was a little confused: "Are you not satisfied with the method I chose? Or should you do it yourself?"

The system calmly grabbed his neck, easily lifted him up and walked outside the prison cell.

"Senior?" The killer didn't have any strength in his body, and his long legs were still dragging on the ground. He just felt that what he encountered tonight was a bit mysterious.

"If you have any dissatisfaction with me, then we can go out and talk about it. At least you have to wait until I kill the person. At the worst, I don't want the bounty. How about giving it all to you?"

As expected, he was a person with hypoplasia of the pituitary gland. Even at this time, he had no doubt that he was not his peer.

I don’t know what the system did, but the man never made a sound again. It led him slowly and leisurely outside, as if he was enjoying the joy of exploring the dungeon.

Luo Qianhuai sensed a hint of danger from this unhurried movement.

"System, you should hurry up. Let's not show up this time and throw him directly outside Huo Yu's room - his guards will naturally find out what happened - and then go home immediately to hide our skills and knowledge. name."

"System, did you hear what I said? If so, just say something!"

The system didn't respond at all, and just arrived at the entrance of the spiral staircase step by step.

At this moment, Luo Qianhuai noticed something strange. Of the four jailers who had been knocked unconscious when they came down, now only three were left, and one person had gone somewhere!

"System, hurry up, someone has gone up to report the news! This is the Yiting prison, and a large group of people will be surrounding you soon. If it is too late, it will be too late!"

Before she finished speaking, she heard footsteps coming from above.

It turned out to be a large group of people, and they were well-trained and uniform.

Someone commanded in a deep voice, and the prison entrance was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

Luo Qianhuai heard clearly that the person who spoke was none other than Changling Lieutenant Xu Kai.

"The crossbowmen are in position!"

"My lord, you'd better go back first. I'll wait for my subordinates to capture this daring thief who is planning to rob the prison, and then hand him over to you for interrogation!"

"It's okay. I'll wait here to see who dares to come to Yiting to cause trouble."

The voice behind was deep and majestic, belonging to Huo Yu himself.

Luo Qianhuai suddenly realized that appearing here dressed like this could not be considered innocent at all.

"System, we will throw away the people and run away in a moment. This host believes in you, and you will definitely be able to break through the encirclement."

The system was noncommittal and stepped up the stairs firmly.

Luo Qianhuai looked down and saw that the assassin in his hand had a pale face.

If you want to kill someone, you must pay a price. Luo Qianhuai has no time to feel sorry for him. He is only worried about whether he can escape.

The voice outside became clearer and clearer: "I will lead my men in here now, I won't let you down!" Xu Kai was filled with murderous intent.

Luo Qianhuai had no doubt that he wanted to silence him immediately.

"Leave alive." Huo Yu said, "I just want to know why they took the risk."

Before he finished speaking, the system had already arrived in front of the outer door and kicked it open so hard that it hurt Luo Qianhuai's toes. He couldn't recover for a long time.

This movement alarmed everyone outside. In an instant, countless swords, guns and arrows were all pointed at Luo Qianhuai.

"My lord, please step back!" Xu Kai's eyes flashed with a fierce look: "The thief is so bold, let's release the arrow immediately!"

His order was given too quickly. Even if Huo Yu reacted and shouted "Stop", the first wave of hundreds of arrows was still shot out, which was enough to turn most of the killer thieves into hedgehogs.

Unfortunately, the system is not included in this list. It took off Luo Qianhuai's carefully prepared Mao Chaoli cloak and waved it around casually with cool and neat movements.

When the arrow rain stopped, neither Luo Qianhuai nor the killer in his hand was injured.

This scene was obviously beyond everyone's expectations. Such a close distance, such a dense rain of arrows, and the most important thing is that there are fifty powerful crossbows among them.

Even the most powerful heroes in the martial arts world will face a dead end when encountering this kind of lineup.

But the man in front of him not only had nothing to do, he also protected the people around him.

What level of master is this? Everyone has doubts in their minds.

Among them, the most surprised person was naturally Xu Kai himself.

Tonight's play was originally directed by him himself. Instead of using his own people, he found someone to spend money and hired a killer to do this. As long as he killed the person afterwards and defined it as revenge, no trace would be left.

There are many killers in the world, and the prices are also different. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and the real children are innocent.

What he hired was just a third-rate guy. He originally thought that it would be easy to get rid of him by then, but he didn't expect that the other party actually bought one and got one free, and brought a real master to support the show. Judging from his skills, he was afraid that he would become famous in the world. The horn is loud and definitely not unusual.

But no matter how famous the master is, he cannot escape the encirclement and suppression by elite soldiers.

Xu Kai's thoughts were spinning, but he said: "Sir, the thieves are fierce, please avoid them as soon as possible."

"I've already told you, it doesn't matter." Huo Yu patted his shoulder and stepped out.

"Sir!" Xu Kai and Bai Sikou stopped him in unison: "You have a valuable status, and you must not take risks lightly!"

"I just want to know what you two are doing here late at night?" Huo Yu waved his hand for them to leave, looked directly at Luo Qianhuai and asked: "But are there prisoners in this prison who have been wronged? Or is there someone who has been wronged? Harsh treatment? Or maybe it's none of the above, you two are just being bold and violating the king's law to save your relatives and friends?"

When he said the last sentence, he raised his voice slightly, and the prestige he had accumulated from being an official for many years was almost gone. Most people would not be able to stand it and would have to kneel down to apologize.

It's a pity that these words fell into the sea like mud and did not receive any response at all. The system was as cold as ever, and the killer wanted to beg for mercy but couldn't.

"Bang!" The system threw the person out without hesitation, landing right in front of Huo Yu.

This action shocked everyone. Huo Yu had just banned the shooting of arrows, but Xu Kai did not dare to disobey his order in public. He immediately stood in front of him, shouting: "Protect your lord" while drawing his knife and slashing at the killer on the ground.

"You have to live!" Huo Yu frowned, but Xu Kai seemed to be unable to hold back the knife and slashed straight at the side of the man's neck.

There was a loud "dang" sound, and the hundred-refined iron sword in Xu Kai's hand was broken into two pieces in full view of everyone.

It was the system that kicked up a pebble on the ground at the last moment and broke the good knife. Soldiers had already rushed forward and put several knives on the killer's neck.

Although the other party was able to speak now, he could not move. He looked like a widower, and looked at Luo Qianhuai with eyes full of resentment.

Xu Kai looked at the knife in his hand and was stunned for a long time. Huo Yu glanced at him lightly, raised his eyes and asked Luo Qianhuai: "What does this mean, hero?"
