Chapter 163 Only 300 seconds!
Unable to learn of Yang Yizhou's death, Ji Xingyi broke into the Jin residence and immediately began his operation.
He memorized the map drawn by the stone. At this moment, all the residents of the town were gathered near the Three Lives Bridge, and the guards in the houses were greatly reduced. He easily sneaked to the vicinity of the underground palace.
During this process, Ji Xingyi discovered that the closer he got to the underground palace, the stronger the stinging pain in his brain became, and his heart was beating uncontrollably at high speed. He could also faintly feel some power calling to him from within the underground palace.
He initially believed that Qingxi Tea was made using corpses, but Ji Xingyi suddenly realized that this guess was probably wrong and that it wasn't that simple.
The power contained in the tea was clearly connected to the blood pool in the underground palace, which was why it gave him this strange feeling.
"Who's there!"
Ji Xingyi's vision suddenly blurred, and he accidentally stepped on a dead tree, making a sound that was noticed by the nearby patrol team.
Ji Xingyi immediately ducked behind the artificial hill in the garden. When the patrol team approached and he realized there was no way to avoid them, he drew his sword and attacked. His first strike slit one man's neck, and then he swung his sword at the chest of the second man.
A cold glint appeared on Ji Xingyi's lips, and his movements became even more ruthless. He was not good with a knife, and in modern society, his marksmanship was actually better, but the killing techniques that Zhang Hui had taught him were universal.
The human body's weaknesses are not limited to the neck and heart; in fact, all the internal organs are quite vulnerable, as are some easily overlooked areas, such as the major arteries in the legs.
One of Ji Xingyi's stabs pierced a person's femoral artery. Although it wouldn't kill immediately, the amount of bleeding from a severed femoral artery was terrifying. The person soon collapsed and fainted due to excessive blood loss.
In no time, Ji Xingyi had dealt with an entire patrol team. However, the commotion had already attracted the attention of everyone in the manor, and more and more patrol teams, carrying torches, were rushing towards them.
The most conspicuous among them was the patrol captain, whose attire was noticeably more upscale. He shouted loudly, "Seal off the courtyard gate! Everyone, follow me to apprehend the thief!"
Ji Xing frowned. If they rushed towards the underground palace now, they would only draw everyone there. If this group of people could just guard the entrance to the underground palace, they would be trapped like turtles in a jar!
After a moment's thought, Ji Xingyi made his decision.
The man casually picked up the patrolman's knife from the ground.
Jin Lushan's men were mostly concentrated at Sansheng Bridge, and the defenses at his residence were at their weakest!
He absolutely cannot miss this opportunity!
One long, one short, two swords in hand.
Since they're not planning to escape, let's just kill them all!
Using the artificial hill as cover, Ji Xingyi climbed onto the roof and hid in the darkness. When the second patrol team approached, he first threw his goose-feather knife, the tip of which pierced through the chest of one of the men, pinning him to the ground.
"who!"
Before the patrol team could spot him, Ji Xingyi jumped off the roof, stomped on a man's neck and snapped it. The moment he landed, he rolled over, drew his goose-feather saber, and threw the long sword in his right hand, taking another life!
He was incredibly fast, taking down three people in an instant, leaving the patrol team in awe!
"Surround him!" The patrol captain, being somewhat experienced, immediately calmed down and gave the order.
With a burst of speed from his legs, Ji Xing charged towards the patrol team leader once again in the darkness, like a cheetah.
Ji Xingyi's knife-wielding technique is not the traditional way of using a goose-feather saber. His moves were all learned from Zhang Hui, who used modern special forces training methods. Therefore, in Ji Xingyi's hands, the agility and elegance of the goose-feather saber are not visible. Instead, he uses his height and long legs to make large, wide, and powerful movements.
But this only created a terrifying sense of oppression for the patrol team; the man was like a god of death, unstoppable!
After slaying two men, Ji Xingyi charged towards the patrol captain. Ji Xingyi swung his sword in a vertical slash, but the patrol captain, who was skilled in martial arts, reacted quickly and parried with his own sword.
"Get him!" The patrol captain, unable to withstand Ji Xingyi's strength, immediately shouted to his terrified subordinates.
Ji Xingyi kicked the patrol team leader in the chest, then rolled away to dodge the attack coming from behind.
The patrol leader scrambled to his feet, roaring, "Attack together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the four of them rushed towards Ji Xingyi.
Ji Xingyi picked up the sword from the corpse on the ground, his expression unchanged, and charged forward again.
No one can stop him!
"Captain! We can't win!"
These patrol members were just young, strong men bought by Jin Lushan; they weren't soldiers. They usually just looked after the yard and kept watch against petty thieves. Originally, they were quite confident because of their numbers.
But Ji Xingyi killed more and more, and became more and more ferocious. The surviving patrol team could no longer hold on.
Just then, the third patrol team arrived. Seeing this, the patrol leader's morale soared, and he roared, "Everyone, attack together! He's almost out of strength! The winner will be rewarded with gold! One hundred taels each!"
Upon hearing this, the patrol team's morale instantly returned. With chaos and turmoil outside, who wouldn't want gold? When they heard there were a hundred taels, their eyes turned red with envy!
"He's injured! Hurry!"
"Kill him! Brothers, charge!"
"You fucking get up there! Stop just talking and don't actually do anything!"
"Hey, you go first, I'll cover you from behind!"
The remaining twenty or so people surrounded Ji Xingyi. They all wanted to rush in, but due to Ji Xingyi's lingering influence, none of them wanted to be the first to charge, and for a moment they were deadlocked.
Upon seeing this, Ji Xing planted the knife in the ground, wiped the blood splattered on his face with the back of his hand, and then coldly swept his gaze over the crowd, who were so frightened that they involuntarily stepped back.
The patrol captain yelled, "Damn it, get them here now!"
Ji Xingyi took out the injection and inserted it into her arm.
This vial of injection comes from a system item called "Regeneration and Recovery Potion".
[Regeneration and Recovery Agent: Activates the body's latent self-repair functions within 300 seconds.]
The regeneration potion is worth 30 points, equivalent to consuming one low-level dungeon point. It was originally prepared by Chi Xuan for Zhou Jue. After learning of Ji Xingyi's plan, Chi Xuan gave it to him.
If possible, she hoped that Ji Xingyi could also save Zhou Jueyi's life.
As the medicine entered his bloodstream, the cut on Ji Xingyi's back healed at a visible speed. Not only that, he could also clearly feel his strength returning.
300 seconds!
He only has 300 seconds!
Facing the crowd that surrounded him, Ji Xingyi kicked away the long sword stuck in the ground, and the sword hit a guard directly in front of him.
After the man let out a scream, the rest of the people were finally awakened, and they all rushed forward with a roar.
Ji Xingyi grabbed one of them and used him as a human shield, choosing to break through in one direction first.
After slaying three people, one of the blades pierced Ji Xingyi's waist and abdomen. Ji Xingyi's eyes sharpened as he pulled out the knife and slashed the fourth person's carotid artery with a backhand!
Thanks to the regeneration potion, the wounds on his waist and abdomen did not affect the man's fighting ability. With the added aid of painkillers, the number of corpses on the ground increased, and the man's clothes became increasingly red.
A series of screams erupted. Seeing the situation rapidly deteriorating, the patrol captain panicked and tried to escape, but was spotted by the man. Ji Xingyi lightly stepped on the tip of the knife on the ground, and the hilt sprang up and landed in Ji Xingyi's hand.
He threw the knife again, the tip piercing the patrol captain's thigh. Instantly, the patrol captain collapsed to the ground, clutching his thigh and crying out in pain.
The patrol captain looked back and saw only one figure amidst the vast sea of blood.
The man under the moonlight was so handsome he was almost inhuman, yet also so terrifying he was almost inhuman.
The man's face was covered in blood, from head to toe, not a single spot was clean, and warm blood was still flowing from his hair.
He was holding a knife and walking towards the patrol captain.
"Don't kill me!"
"Don't kill me!" the patrol captain pleaded in terror, yellow liquid already seeping from between his legs.
Without uttering a word, Ji Xingyi raised the long knife in his hand with an indifferent gaze and pierced the patrol captain's heart.
