Yan Xuehen moved immediately, holding a long sword, and with frost condensing around his body, he blocked all the incoming crossbows.
She trembled all over, and her blood boiled a little. This was a military crossbow after all, and it was extremely powerful.
Without a moment's hesitation, she pulled the broken car wall next to Zu An and Sang Hongcong and rushed out. If she stayed here, she would only become a living target.
However, the other party had obviously expected what would happen next, and another huge arrow shot over, and a terrifying aura enveloped several people.
This time, unlike the previous rain of arrows, the arrows fired were siege crossbows!
Chu Chuyan's face changed completely. You must know that the power of the siege crossbow can even collapse a corner of the city wall, and it is often enhanced by various complex formations. It has the effect of locking the enemy. No matter how you dodge, you cannot avoid this arrow. Can only be hardwired.
But even if she is now at the ninth level, she may not be able to catch this arrow, let alone protect two people.
At the same time, she was filled with doubts. Military crossbows have always been controlled items, and siege crossbows were a top priority. Maybe in other cities, the military might collude with outsiders to use them, but the capital of the capital actually used this openly. How is it different from open rebellion?
She looked solemn and raised her sword directly, intending to use the Snowflake Divine Sword to catch the arrow.
Although they thought a lot, it all happened in a flash of lightning. The siege crossbow was already approaching the three of them, and its terrifying power was enough to blow the entire place into pieces.
Compared to Yan Xuehen, Zu An is no stranger to this stuff. After all, he was attacked by a siege crossbow last time. He almost lost half his life that time. If it weren't for the Hongmeng Yuanshi Meridian that made his body extraordinarily strong, I'm afraid the remaining half of his life would have been lost. Not even your life can be saved.
But this time was different from the past. Zu An directly drew his sword, and a sharp sword energy shot out. The siege crossbow that originally came with a terrifying aura was cut in half like tofu.
The sharp sword energy continued forward, directly destroying the siege ballista hidden in the house, leaving it no chance to fire a second one.
The whole street was quiet for a moment, mainly because everyone was a little confused by this scene. How could such a thick and big tree be cut off so easily?
Sang Hong was a little worried at first, but now his eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty. After only a few months apart, this kid seemed to be a lot more powerful than before. No wonder he was confident that he could protect him.
Yan Xuehen was also in a daze because the master was vague about what happened in the secret realm this time. She didn't know what Zu An's true strength was. Instead, when they reunited, she found that there was no energy fluctuation in Zu An's body, and she was worried about whether he had a high level of cultivation. fall.
Originally, I wanted to protect him, but in the current situation, it was unclear who would protect whom.
At this time, the surrounding killers came to their senses one after another. They had no choice but to shoot, and they rushed out of their hiding places.
This time they did not wear black clothes or masks. On the contrary, they were all dressed in coarse linen and linen, the most natural attire of ordinary people on the street. Only the cruel eyes at this time made people know that they were not real pawns of traffickers.
Yan Xuehen's expression was solemn. At this moment, she noticed that there were many eighth- and ninth-grade killers. Such beings were giants everywhere. She didn't know why they were willing to be killers.
Although she was not afraid of anyone when fighting alone, these seemed to be proficient in the art of combined attacks, blocking all dodge routes. At the same time, they seemed to have real murderous intentions that made the air in the entire street seem to be stagnant.
The art of combined attack is generally used by low-level practitioners, especially those in the army. Through the combined attack formation, an army of low-level practitioners can even surround and kill a master-level master.
However, this kind of combined attack formation often requires years and months of training before one can act in unison and act in unison.
High-level practitioners often have their own pride, and at the same time each has a big career. It is unlikely that they will have much time to train the combined attack method together.
Nowadays, eighth- and ninth-level masters can actually know the combined attack formation and are so familiar with it. Who is so capable of raising so many high-level practitioners and training them like dead soldiers?
Although she was confused, she didn't hesitate at all. She held the sword in front of her with both hands, her skirt was flying, and her fluttering hair was glowing with a faint icy blue light. It was obvious that she was going to use the most powerful moves to fight the opponent.
In this case, the difference between life and death is instantaneous, and any holding back is meaningless.
Although she was very surprised when she saw Zu An's sword just now, it is obvious that we are outnumbered now, and the opponent is also good at combined attack formations. The two of them can only fight side by side, and there should be no big problem until the capital's defense forces arrive.
At this moment, Zu An swung his sword again. Since he couldn't dodge, he wouldn't dodge.
The killers who were besieging them all felt like they were going blind. The opponent's sword was as bright as the sun, majestic and inescapable.
Then... there is no more.
This group of people has been trained as dead soldiers since they were young, and they have received the best training resources, the most suitable training methods, and unparalleled efforts. Because of the cruel elimination mechanism, they have to be better than their peers if they want to survive. Qiang, there is never any waste in the building.
Of course, as their cultivation levels improved, their hearts became more active. After all, the eighth and ninth grades were all high-ranking officials outside, and no one wanted to just be a dead soldier for the rest of their lives.
But soon the cold reality woke them up. One of their companions felt that their wings were stiff and wanted to fly alone. Unexpectedly, they had been planted with poison in their bodies since they were young. Once they betrayed and couldn't get the antidote, they would be desperate for life rather than death. cannot.
From then on, they no longer dared to be dissatisfied.
Of course, in order to be gentle and avoid overly dampening their enthusiasm for cultivation, Lou Li also promised them that as long as they complete this mission, they will be arranged to serve as local officials, and there will be no problem in getting married and having children.
When they think of the coming glory and wealth, everyone feels very motivated. As long as this mission is completed...
There was also a brother in the building who was originally going to come, but after hearing such a promise, he immediately chose to perform other tasks. According to his words, such a promise was very unlucky. At that time, everyone laughed at him for being timid, but now we know that he was just This is true wisdom.
It's a pity that they have no chance to regret it.
Looking at the fallen corpses around her, Chu Chuyan was a little unable to react. So many master assassins who made her feel like a formidable enemy were gone in the blink of an eye?
At this time, in the darkness, a middle-aged man who had been holding the sword Old God Chang's eyes widened, and his jaw almost fell to the ground.
"Dear me, I thought my improvement speed was already quite amazing. How did this kid's cultivation level rise so ridiculously? It's not going to work, it's not going to work. I can't give it away if I add more money this time. It's gone." He hurriedly slipped away. He pulled down his bamboo hat to cover his face, turned around and left from a secret house.
If Zu An sees him, he will definitely recognize him as the killer "Jia Qian Jia Shi" Ding Run whom he met when he was escorted from Mingyue City to Beijing. In a few years, he has earned enough resources, plus several times By chance, he has now reached the level of Grandmaster. This time he thought he had received a well-paid mission, but it almost turned out to be a mission.
At this time, Zu An patted Chu Chuyan who was in a daze: "Let's go." After saying that, he helped Sang Hong and continued to walk to the palace.
Along the way, Chu Chuyan quietly looked at Zu An several times, with a blush appearing on his face from time to time.
Although she looked like a strong woman in Mingyue City a few years ago, she was actually a little girl who liked to fantasize. When she first got married, she was quite disgusted with the legendary "waste" husband, but now she looks at him. , how come he looks so much like the protagonist of the Sword Immortal in "The Domineering Sword Immortal Ninety-Nine Days of Soliciting Love".
No wonder Master didn't tell me about the things in the secret realm. He was afraid of hurting my Taoist heart and affecting my determination to practice.
Master is really worried, he is not someone else, he is my husband!
Soon, several people arrived at the palace. Chu Chuyan was guarding outside. Zu An took Sang Hong in, settled Sang Hong first, and then went straight to the imperial study.
I happened to bump into Eunuch Wen, who was a little surprised to see him go and come back: "Master Zu, you came just in time, the emperor is planning to send someone to announce your presence."
Zu An was stunned, thinking that the emperor knew what just happened so quickly?
The Earth Immortal is indeed an Earth Immortal!
After he entered the imperial study, sandalwood was lingering inside, where the emperor was meditating with his eyes closed.
Zu An was about to talk about Sang Hong when the emperor suddenly said, "What do you think of the Crown Princess?"
