"No!" Wu Xiong's eyes were filled with anger. He only hated himself for being careless and his subordinates died. He was furious and forgot that protecting Wu Yuan's safety was his first priority!
"No!"
"Sir!" The other five city guard centurions were all anxious, but with a hundred meters apart, they could only watch as the thirteen armor-piercing crossbows fired at Wu Yuan.
"quick!"
"Protect the young master!" The four centurions who had been following Wu Yuan were all frightened and angry. With their strength, if they were to catch this armor-piercing arrow forcefully, they would be seriously injured!
If there were only three or four armor-piercing arrows, the four of them could still hope to protect Wu Yuan together.
But thirteen?
It’s almost impossible to protect!
You should know, how terrifying is the speed of armor-piercing arrows? The thirteen black-armored figures hid in the darkness and aimed for a long time, hoping to hit with one blow.
It doesn't give the guards much time to react.
..."Thirteen armor-piercing crossbows, worth thousands of gold!"
"These four top-notch masters are unstoppable."
"The one being protected should be Wu Yuan, just shoot him!" More than ten black-armored figures stared intently, especially the burly black-armored figure at the head.
If they attack first with armor-piercing crossbows and are protected by ten elite masters, they may very well allow Wu Yuan to survive.
In a strong crossbow ambush, the first hit has the highest success rate!
It is also the hardest to avoid.
They recruited a large number of land bandits to launch the first wave of attacks. The purpose was to distract the attention of the many guards. It was best to distract them.
The goal was achieved!
Just waiting to shoot Wu Yuan, the mission was completely completed.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Almost since Wu Xiong and the others had seen these black-armored ambushers, the terrifyingly powerful armor-piercing arrows had been shot in front of them.
One of them, which no one could stop, shot straight into Wu Yuan's head!
suddenly.
"Wow!"
"Wow!" "Wow!" A strange sword light lit up out of thin air, and immediately divided into thirteen parts, turning into a sky full of sword light that enveloped the team moving forward at high speed.
"Peng~" "Peng~" Thirteen armor-piercing arrows collided with the sword light accurately, and exploded one after another!
In an instant, the crisis was resolved.
Not a single armor-piercing arrow came close to Wu Yuan.
"this!"
"It's him!" The four centurion guards who were about to fight for their lives looked at the incredible Gu Ji who suddenly jumped up and had strong sword skills!
With one strike, thirteen armor-piercing arrows were instantly shattered!
What kind of terrifying power is this?
Was such an expert secretly sent by the sect to protect Wu Yuan?
"Everyone stop!" Gu Ji's voice was cold. He had already jumped onto Wu Yuan's horse, holding a knife in one hand and hugging Wu Yuan.
He was pulling the reins of the horse to make the horse stop quickly!
"Hush!"
"Hello!" The four centurion guards pulled on the reins one after another.
"Young master, I will protect you. You go and kill everyone!" Gu Ji's voice was cold and his murderous intention was prominent: "Remember, there is no need to leave anyone alive."
"yes!"
"Kill!" The four guards were all excited. They immediately turned their horses around, accelerated sharply, and rushed towards the gentle slope of the mountain.
At this time.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" There was a sharp and harsh whistling sound, and more than ten terrifying armor-piercing arrows struck.
"Wow!" The sword light lit up!
"Peng!" "Peng!" "Peng!" There was a series of low roars and explosions, and more than ten armor-piercing arrows either exploded or were guided to one side.
None of them can get close to Wu Yuan.
The terrifying strength of Gu Ji is undoubtedly highlighted!
There will be no third wave.
Because Wu Xiong and the first batch of guards to kill them immediately formed a crazy formation and attacked the more than ten figures in black, forcing them to abandon their bows and crossbows and draw their swords to fight!
"team leader!"
"How can there be a first-rate master?"
"I can't stop it!" These figures in black were all frightened. They were well-trained and started fighting with Wu Xiong and the others.
But in terms of strength, they are far apart!
Among the more than ten figures in black, only two have the strength of third-rate masters, and the rest are only martial arts masters.
As for the large number of land bandits?
In the face of the terrifying strength gap between each other, they were completely defeated.
Especially the leader of the land bandits, his scalp almost exploded when he realized the terrifying strength of 'Gu Ji'.
"A second-rate master might be able to avoid or even split three or five sticks, but can he split thirteen sticks in an instant? Absolutely not possible!" The land bandit leader was terrified.
It can smash thirteen armor-piercing arrows with one sword.
Definitely a top-notch expert!
"There is obviously no first-class master in Licheng. That old guy from Dongye County has been old for a long time. Where did he come from?"
"How could this mission provoke such a master?" The bandit leader frantically fled deep into the dense forest.
Not a shred of fighting courage.
If you are a second-rate master, you can still try one or two with characters and armor-piercing crossbows, and maybe you can win!
But a first-rate master?
In terms of physical fitness, they are at least nearly three times as good as the third-rate masters, plus the gap in combat skills?
A ten-fold difference in strength is not enough to describe.
Normally, a third-rate master would be killed in an instant in front of a first-rate master.
"Boom!" The air roared faintly.
The leader of the land bandits turned his head in horror and saw Gu Ji Zheng holding Wu Yuan in one hand and running towards him at an alarming speed.
Guji stepped on the ground, dust rose up along the way, and the land bandits who fled in various directions fell down like mowing grass.
Every neck was cut open!
He was obviously leading a man, chasing the enemy all the way, but his speed was actually faster than a fierce horse.
He rushed directly towards the leader of the land bandits.
"Senior, spare your life! Spare your life! I have important information!" The bandit leader suddenly knelt down, kowtowed repeatedly, and begged for mercy.
beat? Can't beat it!
escape? Can't escape!
Only by begging for mercy can there be a glimmer of hope for survival. The leader of the land bandits does not want to die like this.
"Wow!" A terrifying sword light passed by.
"ah!"
The leader of the land bandits showed a look of pain and fear. The light of the knife instantly passed over his arms and thighs, breaking his tendons and hamstrings. He flew up in an instant.
Landed hard again.
He was dripping with blood, and it was difficult to get up for a while.
"escape!"
"It's too scary, run away!" This group of land bandits finally collapsed completely and no longer had any intention of resisting. They even abandoned their weapons and fled, lest they could not escape fast enough.
But.
"Pfft!" "Pfft!" Although Gu Ji led Wu Yuan all the way, his speed was still terrifying. The swords passed by and one by one the land bandits fell.
The centurion guards were also divided into four people. They strangled them in groups of two along both sides with a tacit understanding, killing the fastest escaping land bandits crazily.
Just a few dozen breaths.
The shouts of death that were rising to the sky disappeared, and the gently sloping mountain forest was completely quiet. Only the blood of corpses on the ground told how terrible a battle it had been here!
call!
Gu Ji finally stopped with Wu Yuan, and let go of the hand holding Wu Yuan's inner armor, allowing Wu Yuan to land.
"Hoo! Hoo!" Wu Yuan gasped, his eyes scanning the bloody corpses on the ground, with a hint of fear.
"Young Master, I'm frightening you!" Gu Ji whispered: "But if we don't kill all these land bandits, if today's news is leaked, I'm afraid it will cause some trouble."
"I understand, thank you Uncle Ji for the rescue." Wu Yuan whispered, with a hint of paleness on his face, as if he was trying to stay calm.
Gu Ji nodded slightly.
"Master!"
"I've frightened you." Wu Xiong gathered up with many bloody guards.
Especially Wu Xiong, his face was full of fear.
"I don't blame you. Who would have expected that a group of gangsters would have so many large crossbows?" Wu Yuan shook his head and did not blame Wu Xiong and the others.
but.
"I hope that this kind of thing will not happen again." Gu Ji, who had always been taciturn, spoke up, his voice cold: "Remember, our mission is to protect the young master and reach the sect safely."
"Also, forget my existence and don't mention it to anyone." Gu Ji glanced at the guards one by one.
"Yes!" Wu Xiong and the others all bowed their heads, not daring to explain.
Wu Yuan did not mention Gu Ji's identity, but his strength alone told everything. In the eyes of Wu Xiong and others, he must be a high-level member of the sect.
Besides, they are not stupid, they think of more.
The sect secretly arranged for such a master to protect Wu Yuan. Wu Yuan's importance was simply unimaginable!
"This group of land bandits is too weak to have so many armor-piercing crossbows." Gu Ji said indifferently: "Those men in black were obviously trained. Most of them would rather commit suicide than surrender. Only one person survived. Let’s interrogate them all and try to figure out the reasons as much as possible.”
"yes."
Wu Xiong and the others quickly dispersed. Some went to interrogate the few survivors, while others rummaged through the corpses, looking for clues and...properties!
Gangsters have a tradition of hiding their belongings on their bodies.
time flies.
In just half a quarter of an hour, the interrogation produced some results, and the bandit leader and several other survivors were killed directly.
So far.
All the gangsters involved in the ambush were killed!
"Sir, this should be a premeditated ambush." Wu Xiong said in a low voice: "According to what the black-armored man said and some of the evidence we searched, the murderer who arranged the ambush should be the returnee from Dongzhou. Yu Zong'."
"Gui Yu Sect?" A trace of doubt flashed in Wu Yuan's eyes.
"Guiyu Sect is one of the eight major sects in Dongzhou. Its overall strength is powerful, especially above our Hengyun Sect." Gu Ji suddenly said: "If we say that our Hengyun Sect's current biggest enemy is the Jin Empire, then the Jin Empire ranks first. , this Guiyu Sect is the undisputed second!"
Wu Yuan nodded slightly.
China is vast and has a long history, and the history of each state is very complicated. In the past few months, I have only learned a lot about Jiangzhou and Chuzhou through classics.
As for other states? I only know roughly.
My impression of Dongzhou is that it ranks second among the thirteen states in the world, second only to the Holy State occupied by the Jin Empire.
The area, population, etc. of Dongzhou far exceed that of Jiangzhou. It can be ranked first among the eight major sects in Dongzhou. One can imagine the strength of Guiyu Sect.
"There are obviously suspicious soldiers. How come Guiyu Sect can ambush them so quickly?" Wu Yuan frowned and asked the key question.
"This is just a team from the Guiyu Sect." Wu Xiong hesitated: "According to what the Guiyu Sect disciple said, they were not sure which direction we would set off from, so they arranged a total of four teams."
"The strength of every team is no less than theirs."
Gu Ji's eyes moved slightly.
"Four teams?" Wu Yuan was even more shocked: "Guiyu Sect secretly dispatched so many forces into Licheng territory?"
"You have to pay such a high price just to kill one of my specially recruited disciples."
"Is Guiyu Zong crazy?"
