Nie Chen was only three meters away from him. The man moved very quickly, raised his sleeve and fired the arrow towards Nie Chen.
Nie Chen's pupils dilated instantly and he turned around to hide, but the arrow was too fast.
Then, at this moment, on the horse beside Nie Chen, a figure suddenly flashed past, and with an incredible speed of drawing the sword, he chopped off the sleeve arrow with one strike.
At this time, the sleeve arrow was less than half a meter away from Nie Chen's eyes.
After Jiang Lan chopped off the crossbow arrow with his sword, the man also fell to the ground. He stepped on the ground with his toes, flew up, and chopped off the man's right hand before he could put it down.
"ah!!!"
The man screamed loudly, looked at his severed hand, and wailed.
Jiang Lanfei stepped forward and had just cut off the man's right hand with the knife in his right hand. The knife in his left hand passed directly and cut the man's throat with one blow.
Blood spurted out from the man's neck, blood also spilled from the corners of his mouth, and he fell backward in disbelief.
It was too late, but it was too fast. From the time Jiang Lan took action, splitting the flying sleeve arrow, to cutting off his right hand and sealing his throat with a knife, it only took two seconds in total.
This sudden change woke up everyone around them. The shadow guards and guards immediately drew their weapons and killed those people.
"My lord, be careful! My lord, retreat first!"
Qi Huan shouted immediately.
"It's just a few assassins, kill them!"
Nie Chen snorted coldly and pulled out his own knife.
Fortunately, they wore armor on their bodies in order to travel. Unlike when they were marching, they were dragged by a trailer. At this time, they directly transformed into combat mode and could immediately go into battle.
More than thirty people on their side rushed forward. On the enemy's side, the "escorts" holding knives immediately rushed forward and killed the guards. Those dressed as servants also immediately took weapons from those vehicles. He took out his bow and arrow and shot it towards Nie Chen.
Nie Chen turned over and dismounted. He could not stay on the horse and become a living target. Relying on the strength of his armor, he lowered his head and fought forward.
The guards and shadow guards fought with those people. What was unexpected was that the enemies were all highly skilled in martial arts and chopped down two guards as soon as they met.
Even powerful masters like Zhou Long and Zhou Hu would need several moves to defeat them.
You must know that the two brothers Zhou Long and Zhou Hu are not reckless men with only brute strength. With Zhou An's second brothers who are the best in the world in martial arts, how can their martial arts be inferior.
I learned from my master when I was a child, and I also learned a lot from Zhou An during this period.
The guards are no match for those people. Those people are highly skilled in martial arts, and the Shadow Guards, who are also good at assassination, can fight with them a few times.
Qi Huan protected Nie Chen and fought with Nie Chen against the enemies who rushed in front of him.
On the entire battlefield, only Jiang Lan's side was the most exciting.
Jiang Lan was like a ghost, dodging left and right. Every time he landed, he would land in an unexpected position of the enemy, and then he would chop down with his sword.
When Jiang Lan kills people, he never needs a second move. He kills with one blow. The sword goes straight to the vital point, and the assassins have no power to fight back.
Jiang Lan's appearance broke the formation of those melee assassins and created opportunities for the guards and shadow guards.
Everyone followed Jiang Lan to kill him, and started a fierce battle against the enemy's melee assassins.
When the archers saw Jiang Lan leaving like this, and they couldn't take down the heavily surrounded Nie Chen for a while, they immediately turned their guns, pointed their bows and arrows at Jiang Lan, nocked their bows and shot at him.
The powerful shots at close range were still very powerful. Jiang Lan focused on defense, waving his two swords quickly in front of him, accurately cutting off the arrows of the assassins.
Then, taking advantage of the opportunity for the archers to reload their arrows, he rushed over and slashed the two necks with two knives.
When the archers saw Jiang Lan approaching, they gave up their bows and arrows, pulled out their daggers from their boots, and charged towards Jiang Lan.
The enemy's daggers were very flexible, and several people surrounded Jiang Lan with their daggers pointed at his vital points.
Jiang Lan reacted very quickly and took advantage of the length of his weapon to swing it directly around his body. No matter where he hit the enemy, as long as he could hit it, the enemy would lose combat effectiveness.
The effect of this move was surprisingly good. Jiang Lan slashed several people in a circle. Some of those people's fingers were cut off, and some of their arms were scratched. The flying wounds were so painful that they couldn't use their strength at all.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Lan stepped forward and ended the lives of those people with a few blows.
Suddenly, an assassin ran towards Jiang Lan quickly. Jiang Lan turned around and found that the assassin had raised his hand, but it was empty and he did not hold a weapon.
Looking at the clenched hand, he was proficient in assassinating Jiang Lan. He knew at a glance that the hand was holding poison, so he immediately turned around and kicked it out. The assassin just raised his hand, and the poison powder in his hand was not yet there. Before he could throw it out, Jiang Lan kicked him on the arm.
The poor assassin's fist hit his face directly, and the poisonous powder in his hand came out of his hand, all of which was sprinkled on his face.
The man hit the ground hard, foamed at the mouth, twitched all over and died.
"Huh, what a small skill."
Jiang Lan snorted coldly and looked not far away with cold eyes. Suddenly, someone in that direction was throwing several darts at him quickly.
Because the distance was too far, Jiang Lan immediately dodged and retreated. Then he came to his horse, grabbed the repeating crossbow on his horse, pointed it at the man, and pulled the trigger one after another. Ten arrows were shot out, but only one hit. That person.
Jiang Lan used a repeating crossbow for the first time, and even saw this thing today, so he didn't know how to use it, and it was normal for him to be inaccurate.
Throwing away the repeating crossbow, Jiang Lan led the shadow guards to kill him again.
The Shadow Guards had good skills and flexible movements. They cooperated with Jiang Lan to launch a counter-assassination against the enemy.
When Nie Chen saw that there were only a few enemies left, and the remaining people began to turn around and run away, he immediately shouted,
"Catch a few alive!"
"yes!"
Everyone responded to the order and chased after him with their repeating crossbows, and soon shot down three people.
Together with the one Jiang Lan shot over before, a total of four people were caught alive.
When everyone was dragging the survivors back, Jiang Lan suddenly stood up, picked up the knife in his hand and threw it towards Nie Chen.
This sudden change shocked everyone.
The knife was very heavy and very fast. It grazed Nie Chen's arm. Then, the sound of the knife piercing flesh and blood came from behind Nie Chen.
Poof!
"ah!!!"
Nie Chen turned around and saw an assassin who had sneaked up behind him at some point. The knife thrown by Jiang Lan was directly stabbed in the heart, causing him to fall down and die.
This person was able to come up behind Nie Chen without anyone noticing. He must have been hiding in the tree before.
