At this time, the movements of Xia Luotong and the others also attracted the attention of others on the deck. When they saw that they were surrounded by assassins of unknown origin, all the dignitaries screamed in fright. They kept moving away, for fear of being targeted by this group of assassins.
The guards patrolling the deck also noticed the situation here, but just when they drew their swords and prepared to rush over, someone rushed out from the door of the banquet hall.
While running out, he yelled in panic: "There is an assassin! Hurry and escort him! Protect the emperor!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, there were bursts of noise from the banquet hall, and sharp and frightening screams resounded in the night sky. Even Xia Luotong, who was at the edge of the deck, could clearly hear it.
The emperor was actually assassinated? !
Xia Luotong's heart skipped a beat, feeling that this matter might not be that simple. The target of the assassins in front of him was obviously him. Even when he heard that the emperor had been assassinated, he did not waver at all. He only wanted to break through the defense of Xi Menghan and Lindong.
He and the emperor were assassinated at the same time. Are these assassins the same group, or do they belong to different forces?
Xia Luotong felt uneasy. She always felt that this matter was not over yet. Since the secret forces were able to send so many assassins to the ship, they must have the idea of succeeding, so it would definitely not be just that.
Moreover, there were many people in the banquet hall at this time, including Wu Zechen and the Xi family. I wonder what the situation is now...
Xia Luotong paid close attention to the surrounding situation in case someone was secretly attacking him.
Before the dragon boat prayer today, Wu Zechen had reminded Xia Luotong, so at this time she still had a lot of poison in her body that could make her opponent miserable.
But Wu Zechen also reminded her that the people on the dragon boat were multi-minded, so she should not expose her poisonous skills unless it was absolutely necessary.
Xia Luotong knew that Wu Zechen's explanation was actually to protect her. Once the poisonous technique was exposed, with her life experience, she would definitely be criticized verbally and written, and she would be in a bad situation.
In fact, there is another situation where she can show off her poisonous skills without any harm, and that is as a member of the Baihuagu Poison Technique lineage.
The reputation of Baihua Valley for many years has been there, which is enough to protect Xia Luotong from attack. Although Baihua Valley's poison technique is powerful, it will not harm one party, because if such a disciple appears, Baihua Valley will definitely We will pursue and punish them with all our strength and will never tolerate them.
So if Xia Luotong had the identity of Baihua Valley, she wouldn't have to worry about being discovered that she knew how to use poison.
It's just that Xia Luotong couldn't tell whether what she accepted was the inheritance of Baihua Valley. If it wasn't, then after she accepted it regardless, she couldn't explain her origin at all.
If Kong Yimeng returns and exposes her identity, her situation will be even more unfavorable.
It was precisely because of this that Xia Luotong had to hide behind Xi Menghan, not daring to take action at all.
At this time, the dragon boat has long been shrouded in fear and murderous intent. There are screams, clashes of weapons, and people running in panic. The dignity and elegance of these dignitaries have long disappeared, and they can only interact with ordinary people. Human fear.
"Tong'er!"
Suddenly, a faintly trembling voice seemed to have passed through time and space and reached Xia Luotong's ears without any hindrance.
It's Wu Zechen!
With just such a call, Xia Luotong immediately recognized the owner of the voice.
Her eyes brightened slightly, and she suddenly turned around and saw a slender black figure running towards the banquet hall.
fine! He's fine!
This was the first thought that came to Xia Luotong's mind. God knows how worried she was about Wu Zechen's safety when she first learned that the emperor in the banquet hall had been assassinated.
Even though she knew that Wu Zechen was highly skilled in martial arts, she still inevitably felt worried, fearing that those assassins were targeting Wu Zechen, so could he protect his own safety in the chaos of war?
Fortunately, after seeing Wu Zechen's figure at this time, Xia Luotong finally felt relieved.
But Wu Zechen's call seemed to arouse the murderous intent of the assassins in black. Their offensive became more fierce, and they looked like they were not afraid of death and wanted to break through Xi Menghan and Lin Dong.
The pressure on Xi Menghan and Lindong increased sharply. They were tired of fending off these assassins and did not dare to relax at all. They could no longer take Xia Luotong into consideration.
When Xia Luotong saw this, he was worried that Xi Menghan and Lindong, who had no weapons in their hands, would go on a business trip. He quickly shouted to Wu Zechen who was running towards him: "Help them first, I'm fine!"
When Wu Zechen saw that Xia Luotong was standing well behind, and there were indeed no assassins around him, he felt at ease and prepared to turn to Xi Menghan's side to fight.
However, just as he made a move, a strong uneasiness suddenly arose in his heart, and his eyes instantly became solemn. But at this moment, the corner of his eye glanced in the direction of the third floor deck...
"Tong'er! Danger!"
The cold light suddenly swept across, and Wu Zechen felt that his liver and gallbladder were splitting, and a strong fear that he had never experienced before enveloped him. He had no time to think anymore, and suddenly turned around and headed straight in the direction of Xia Luotong. He rushed over, as if using the fastest speed he could achieve in his life!
Wu Zechen's horrified call made Xia Luotong freeze on the spot. She had never heard Wu Zechen speak in such a fearful voice. The trembling in his voice seemed to touch the depths of her soul.
Immediately afterwards, she saw this unforgettable scene. Wu Zechen rushed toward her, his eyes full of fear that made her heartache. And behind Wu Zechen, what followed was a rain of dark arrows all over the sky...
The image seemed to be frozen in Xia Luotong's mind, but in fact it was so fleeting that she had no time to react.
The rain of arrows completely covered all the angles she could dodge, leaving her with nowhere to hide. The poison she had prepared was completely useless in such a situation. She was defenseless and could not escape without being injured. Come down, block so many arrows...
Xia Luotong knew that she couldn't escape this time, but at the next moment, Wu Zechen flew in front of her, completely covering her in his shadow.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Zechen's powerful momentum directly brought Xia Luotong with him, jumped out of the railing of the dragon boat, and plunged into the dark river under the night...
