42. Mystery 5

There are eight people left around Zhao Xiu, eight against sixty. Zhao Xiu hadn't been in such a desperate situation for seven years, but in just two days, he felt the feeling of dying twice. The last time someone blocked an arrow for him, what about this time?

Zhao Xiu kept waving the long sword in his hand, resisting the long knife that was slashing at him. The entire alley was filled with killers who came to kill Zhao Xiu, leaving a position in the middle for Zhao Xiu to survive. There was a hole in the defense of the eight people, and a long knife slashed at Zhao Xiu's arm.

"Ahh Zhao Xiu shouted in pain, but he quickly held back, he had to endure it. The one in his right hand lost his strength as if it were crippled, and the long cut cut cut the muscles of his upper arm, and the whole hand could only be bent, but not extended.

Underfooted was the corpse of the palace guard, and blood splattered from the assassin's body on his face. Everyone was red-eyed.

The long knives that slashed at Zhao Xiu became more and more numerous, and the four living palace guards were still making their last struggles, although they had been cut to the point of blood and flesh flying, but they were still using their last strength to raise their knives!

The high courtyard walls made it difficult for people outside to see the situation inside, the manor was not large, Ah San surrounded the east side of the higher ground with fifty demon guards, and the blood mao surrounded the west side of the low-lying ground with the remaining eighty or so demon guards.

The manor is located in a relatively remote place in the corner of Nanning, and the west side of the manor is the only access to the downtown area.

If the west side is sealed, the people in it will not be able to escape into the downtown area. The north and south sides of the manor are barren meadows, with a wide view and easy to shoot.

In the barren meadows to the north and south were hidden more than two dozen archers, all of whom were masters of mounted archery among the Demon Guards.

Xuemao and Ah San had already discussed how to lay out on the way here, and both of them were extremely confident that under this layout, no matter how many masters there were in the manor, they would not be able to escape this dead end.

Blood Mao took the lead in attacking according to the plan, more than eighty demon guards dressed in black were divided into two groups, and more than forty people in front of them slowly touched forward under the leadership of Blood Mao, and the long knife was slowly pulled out and placed behind him.

The forty demon guards in the back stayed where they were, ready for a second wave of attacks.

More than 40 people moved in unison, without making a sound, and they would be startled if they were seen in broad daylight. They were ghosts, attached to the walls of the manor.

Everyone was waiting for Blood's order.

With an emotionless mask, the blood slowly pulled out the bloodstained sword in his hand.

At the moment when he was about to raise his sword, a red light appeared in the sky, this red light was very dazzling even in the daytime, and he burned like a fire in the sky above Nanning City.

There are three types of signal fireworks for the members of the Demon Guard, the signal fireworks of the twelve demons of the earth branch are red with yellow light, ordinary members are red with white light, and only Zhao Xiu's signal fireworks are bright red fireworks without adding any variegated colors.

The long sword in Xuemao's hand paused in front of his chest, and he was stunned! Zhao Xiu's unique signal fireworks demon guard is known to everyone, because this is the first lesson to become a demon guard.

Zhao Xiu's signal fireworks were ignited, indicating that Zhao Xiu's life was in danger.

The blood was only startled for a moment before he reacted immediately.

Blood Mao shouted loudly: "Close! Protect the king! Protect the king! He couldn't take care of the people in the manor, what he wanted to do now was to rush to Zhao Xiu's side as quickly as possible.

Ah San's mind was also blank, and he didn't have time to think about it at all, so he ran to the nearest horse and turned over on the horse.

"Get on the horse, go and protect the prince!" Ah San took the lead, and when the people who were originally arranged around reacted, Ah San had already run a hundred feet away.

The two fast horses galloping in front of the gallop quickly turned. The two people on the horse were Blood Mao and Ah San, two people with unique masks, like two devils who had just returned from hell, and ran in unison in the direction where Zhao Xiu was.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way," shouted the knight on horseback, and the pedestrians in the street, despite hearing the knight's shout, had no time to dodge the galloping horses galloping through the street.

Suddenly chickens and dogs jumped on the street, and a very old man staggered down the street, and there was no time to dodge in the face of the flying horses.

The man on the horse also noticed the old man in front, but the horse was so fast that he was about to crash into the old man.

At that moment the horse under the man's crotch seemed to have wings, and the horse's hooves turned up, and with a leap flew over the old man's head.

Before the people on the horse had time to be happy, they felt the horse under the crotch pause slightly, followed by the screams of a lady. Although the man on the horse was skillful, he avoided the first old man, but he could not avoid the woman behind the old man. The woman was knocked out three feet away by the horse and was killed instantly.

The people on the street screamed when they saw that there was a death, and they could hear the people on the street shouting loudly from afar: "Dead man, everyone run, dead man, run!" ”

The people who were originally blocked in the streets ran faster when they heard that someone was dying on the streets.

The horseman's face on the horse's mask was less like a human face and more like a beast, with its mouth wide open and long fangs exposed, and the muscles on its face were tense as if it were going to eat you in one bite.

This masked knight is the mad demon of the twelve demons of the earthly branch, Mad Chen Meng Xin. Meng Xin, who had just been sent to monitor Zhang's mansion, saw the fireworks sent by Zhao Xiu, and rushed back desperately.

Even if he killed someone on the street, he rushed forward without looking back, Meng Xin was really crazy, Zhao Xiu was assassinated one after another, which made Meng Xin feel uneasy. This time, when he left, he also took all the demon guards with him, leaving only the palace guards with slightly weaker combat ability, and there were only forty people.

He thought that most of the people who assassinated Zhao Xiu had been killed in the restaurant, and the rest were in the manor surrounded by Blood Mao Ah San, even if there were assassins outside, they would not be able to become a climate.

But he never expected that he would attack Zhao Xiu again at this moment.

Zhao Xiu was forced to release a fireworks signal, proving that his life was in danger.

Meng Xin's heart was like a fire, and he was tormented.

The long knife in the assassin's hand slashed at Zhao Xiu's body again, this time even more deadly, slashing straight to his waist. Blood stained the entire body, and the two palace guards beside them used their last strength to drag the four killers, but they were scattered by the limbs of more than a dozen long knives in an instant.

The blood on the two of them spurted into Zhao Xiu's eyes, and the long sword in his hand couldn't move anymore, his eyes were blurry, but his mind was a mess.

"I'm finally at the end, just do my best, there's no regret." Zhao Xiu slowly closed his eyes, he was really tired.
