Shi Long rushed to Hu Jingwei's room in a hurry. At this time, Hu Jingwei had already changed his clothes and was about to go to the banquet hall with Hu Lin.
The four Shi family children who were in charge of protecting the two were trying their best to persuade them, trying to prevent them from taking risks.
As soon as Shi Long rushed into the room, he shouted loudly: "Mr. Hu, you can't go, absolutely not! Moreover, you'd better get out of here quickly and change to a more secret hiding place."
Hu Jingwei asked lightly: "Is the situation urgent?"
Shi Long nodded vigorously: "It's very serious. One of our companions has already been killed, and we can't find the killer at all."
"Can't find the killer at all?"
The expressions of the other four Shi family disciples all changed.
They just felt that a companion's spiritual power fluctuations suddenly disappeared, and they already had an ominous premonition in their hearts, but now even Shi Long, who has the strongest cultivation base among them, can't find the murderer!
That killer is too mysterious!
Hu Jingwei pondered for a while, and then said: "Then let's leave quickly. As for the banquet, there is no need to attend it."
Seeing Hu Jingwei's cooperation, Shi Long immediately told a companion: "Jialiang, you go ahead and check your surroundings carefully."
The disciple named Shi Jialiang agreed, opened the door, walked out, checked his surroundings, and then said it was safe.
So Shi Long and the other three protected Hu Jingwei and Hu Lin in the middle, and walked out the door.
At this moment, a faint shadow suddenly flashed out from the shadow of the corner of the wall, and then disappeared without any notice.
"Jialiang, why are you blocking the door?" Shi Long asked strangely as he walked a few steps forward while protecting Hu Jingwei and Hu Lin.
Shi Jialiang turned around slowly with stiff movements, his face was full of pain, a big hole was opened in his dantian, and blood kept gushing out from the wound.
"Jialiang! What's wrong with you?" Shi Long was taken aback, hugged Shi Jialiang quickly, and asked loudly, "Who did it?"
"Ying...ying...." Shi Jialiang spit out a word intermittently, then tilted his head, died, and the spiritual fluctuations in his body quickly disappeared.
Shi Long and the remaining three disciples of the Shi family looked at their dead companions with expressions of shock and anger beyond words.
In less than ten minutes, two companions had already died at the hands of the mysterious killer.
And one of them was killed right in front of their eyes, and they didn't realize it beforehand!
You know, they are all powerful cultivators. Compared with ordinary people, they are like gods. They have always been very confident in their own strength.
But now, two companions died without anyone noticing!
They suddenly realized that they had encountered a very terrifying killer, a killer who could easily kill practitioners!
Hu Lin showed a look of fear, she approached her father, trying to seek his protection.
Hu Jingwei was very calm. He put his arms around his daughter's shoulders and patted her lightly to calm her emotions.
However, his heart is very heavy.
He knows better than anyone that the current situation is dangerous.
Even the strong men sent by the Shi family can kill them silently. The mysterious killer lurking in the dark shows how terrifying it is!
"What should we do now?" Hu Jingwei looked at Shi Long and asked.
There were fine beads of sweat on Shi Long's forehead. He knew his answer, which might directly determine the fate of the few of them.
After a fierce struggle in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go out, be careful, you will just sit here and wait for death."
Several other people felt that this was indeed the case, so they concentrated all their energy, guarded Hu Jingwei and Hu Lin, and walked out cautiously.
Outside the door is a long corridor with a spiral staircase at the end. The spotlights on the ceiling, for some reason, flickered from time to time, illuminating the corridor from time to time.
Shi Long took out the spirit sword entwined with lightning from the storage ring, walked in the front, and at the same time glanced around, not letting go of any subtleties.
Despite this, Shilong did not find any traces of the enemy.
However, the more this happened, the more fearful Shi Long became. A killer in the dark is far more terrifying than an enemy in the open.
The six people tightened their nerves and walked forward cautiously. When they were about to reach the stairs, the lights above their heads suddenly went out.
At the moment when the lights went out, a thick black shadow suddenly shot out from the corner of the wall, and rushed towards the disciples of the Shi family who were guarding Hu Jingwei from behind.
The shrill screams sounded immediately.
Except for Shi Long, the three Shi family disciples were decapitated almost instantly!
For the first time, Shilong saw the killer's appearance clearly.
To be precise, the killer is not a person, but a human shadow.
He is about the height of a person, his body is as thin as a piece of paper, and he holds a shadow-shaped dagger in his hand. There were still some bright red blood stains on the dagger.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that such an intangible dagger could kill people, and even killed several powerful practitioners!
The killer stood in front of them like this, but his feet were still connected with the shadow caused by the light, giving people a strong sense of unreality.
In the blink of an eye, three more companions were lost, and Shi Long was filled with grief and anger at the same time.
Without even thinking about it, he raised his hand, took out his spirit sword, and shot at the killer.
With lightning, the spirit sword quickly penetrated the killer's chest, smashing the wall behind the killer.
However, that weird killer still stood where he was, and the lightning spirit sword did not cause any scars on his body.
"This... what kind of monster is this?" Although Hu Jingwei tried his best to maintain his composure, his face couldn't help but change color now.
"Shadow Assassin! It's a Shadow Assassin!" Shi Long finally recognized the origin of this assassin.
His heart suddenly "thumped", and he sank.
The Shadow Assassin is a powerful and mysterious assassin in the Shan Lao assassination group, who appears and disappears, killing people invisible.
He always thought that it was just a legend, and never took it to heart.
Unexpectedly, that legend has become a reality, and let him meet!
This shadow assassin is not only as mysterious and terrifying as in the legend, but even more terrifying!
Shi Long couldn't help feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart, he couldn't defeat such a terrifying assassin!
Just when Shi Long was in despair, a powerful burst of true energy, like a meteor from the sky, blasted down, just in front of the Shadow Assassin.
With a loud noise, the whole villa shook.
The huge force blasted the masonry of the villa into powder, rushed into the air, filled the entire space, and blocked the shadow assassin's sight.
Immediately afterwards, a huge force of attraction pulled Shi Long, Hu Jingwei and Hu Lin out of the window and flew to the grass outside the villa before stopping.
The three of them escaped from the dangerous situation, and after a moment of shock, they looked towards the source of gravity, and saw a mysterious man with a silver mask standing on the top of a tree.
Beside the mysterious person, there is a black ball floating, emitting a faint light.
Obviously, it was this man who saved their lives.
Hu Jingwei only felt that what happened tonight was getting more and more bizarre.
A mysterious shadow killer wants to take his life, while another more mysterious silver-masked man wants to save his life!
The only thing he was worried about was whether this silver-masked man was the opponent of that shadow assassin.
Hu Lin also looked up at the silver-masked man at this time. For some reason, she had a strange trust in this silver-masked man, as if she believed that this silver-masked man could save them from this dangerous situation!
Zhao Rui stood on the top of the tree, looking coldly at the shadow assassin below, his eyes flickering coldly.
Just now he searched for the shadow assassin in the Hu mansion, but there was no result. It wasn't until the Shadow Assassin assassinated the disciples of the Shi family that there was a fluctuation in spiritual power that the location of the Shadow Assassin was determined and he hurried over.
Even so, he came one step too late, and the shadow assassin assassinated four more Shi family disciples.
The Shadow Assassins of the Old Shan Assassination Group are indeed very difficult to deal with.
It has no form, just a shadow, not to mention ordinary attacks, even his magic ball has no effect on the shadow assassin!
Gravity Ball has no effect on a phantom.
In Zhao Rui's mind, he quickly thought about how to deal with this mysterious shadow assassin.
However, the Shadow Assassin did not, giving Zhao Rui too much time to think.
He stared at Zhao Rui, his eyes flashed fiercely, his whole body was attached to the ground, and he slid towards Zhao Rui.
The three of Shi Long and Hu Lin only saw a black shadow, sliding across the ground, and slid up the tree trunk at an extremely fast speed, and they were about to touch Zhao Rui's toes in the blink of an eye.
The shadow dagger in the shadow assassin's hand has been raised high.
"Be careful!" Hu Lin couldn't help exclaiming.
This silver-masked man is their last hope for survival. If even this silver-masked man is killed by the shadow assassin, then they are really doomed.
At this time, Zhao Rui exerted a little force on his toes, touched the top of the tree, and the whole person soared into the air.
The shadow dagger rubbed against Zhao Rui's sole, and cut it silently. If it was slower for half a second, the shadow dagger would cut off Zhao Rui's leg!
"It's so dangerous!" Hu Lin wiped off her cold sweat, only feeling that the battle between these two weirdos was frightening every step of the way, extremely dangerous.
Shi Long was not as worried as Hu Lin. He had already guessed that the identity of the silver-masked man, and he knew that with the strength of the silver-masked man, he would not be killed so easily.
The Shadow Assassin missed a single blow and gave Zhao Rui a hard look, then quickly slid from the tree to the ground, sinking into the darkness.
Zhao Rui felt a little surprised. He didn't know why the shadow assassin suddenly gave up on the assassination.
However, after thinking about it for a while, he quickly realized that the Shadow Assassin needs attachments in order to exist.
If there is no attachment, fly directly into the air, the Shadow Assassin will fall apart!
After Zhao Rui figured this out, he had a faint outline of how to deal with the shadow assassin.
