Chapter Forty-Eight: Next Year's Qingming and No Bitter Rain (2)

It was only at this time that Liu Xuan noticed a tingling pain in his waist. I don't know when, I have already cut a shallow wound on my waist by that sword.

If he hadn't changed his moves quickly, he might have been disemboweled. The movements of the man in black in front of him were so fast!

"You...... Very good. ”

Han Zhuo glanced at the blood dripping in front of him, raised his head, and looked at Liu Zhuo: "In my life, I don't need a second sword to kill." You are the first to survive my sword. ”

Liu Zhuo covered the wound on his waist with his hand, looked at Han Zhuo and took a deep breath, and his heart was shocked.

If the man in black in front of him said this sentence before the fight, he was afraid that he would laugh off his big teeth. But now, he has some conviction.

Words can deceive people, but your body will never lie to yourself.

And Liu Xuan absolutely believes in his instincts. If it weren't for that, when he first arrived in Wancheng, he would not have survived the street fights again and again.

With just a sword, Liu Xuan has already determined that this person is stronger than himself.

"Liu Ji!" Liu Xiu clenched his fists and shouted at Liu Ji behind him.

And long before Liu Xiu roared, Liu Ji had already stared at a pair of tiger eyes and rushed forward.

In his hand was a pair of axes. It was a giant axe specially built after following Liu Xuan. Almost as big as a door panel, it was worthy of his burly stature and strange power.

The giant axe brought up a fierce wind and slashed towards Han Zhuo. The dull axe body was like a mountain peak falling from the sky, crushing Han Zhuo into powder.

Seeing Liu Ji follow, Liu Ji's expression distorted, and his mouth opened, but he didn't open his mouth after all. This is not a duel of honor, but a battlefield fight where life is at stake, and in such a desperate occasion, in the face of such a strong opponent, he has no room to defend his dignity alone.

Just as Liu Ji's axe fell, the long knife in Liu Ji's hand also slashed at Han Zhuo from below.

If he and Liu Ji still can't clean up the man in black in front of him, then tonight ...... I'm afraid that the whole army will really be wiped out here.

Facing the attack of the giant axe and the long knife, Han Zhuo's face still did not have any expression fluctuations. The long sword in his hand was lightly picked, as if nothing had happened, but Liu Ji's powerful giant axe was unexpectedly picked aside by this understatement sword.

Unable to retract his strength, the blade of the axe in Liu Ji's hand slammed heavily on the ground of the bluestone slab, and the stone chips splashed.

And the long knife in Liu Zhuo's hand was about to slash Han Zhuo's waist when he saw it, but he gently twisted it backwards and dodged it by a fraction of a second. At the same time, the long sword flashed, Liu Ji's shoulder was not as good as the giant axe to protect it, and blood splashed out in this courtyard again.

"Boss, this guy is so strong......"

Liu Ji danced a ball of flowers with the axe on his chest, which was able to protect the door, and gritted his teeth at Liu Ji on the side.

"I know......" Liu Zhuo gritted his teeth and kept rushing with Han Zhuo. If there was the slightest slackness in his attack, Han Zhuo's sword would pass through his heart.

And in his heart, he was still worried about Ren Guang.

It's already past the time to raid the Taishou Mansion, why didn't Ren Guang show up from beginning to end? Where are he and those four hundred ranger swordsmen at this moment!

Liu Xiu clenched his fists nervously and looked at the fight in the courtyard inside the door. However, no matter how anxious he was, he still couldn't do anything. The gap in skill is too big, and even if you go in, it will only become a burden to your brother.

"Less...... Young Master ......"

Just when Liu Xiu was anxious, there was a faint call in the distance.

"Ren Guang? Li Tong?! You...... How could you be! ”

Liu Xiu turned his head and couldn't help but scream in horror when he saw the figure that staggered away and pushed away the cavalry and stumbled towards him.

Ren Guang's whole body was already stained with blood, one of the two short guns in his hands had been lost, and the tip of the other gun had been broken.

His body was mottled with wounds, and he had a crossbow bolt stuck in his shoulder, running from the back shoulder to the front shoulder.

And Li Tong, who was holding in his left arm, had his eyes closed tightly and didn't know what to do.

"What's going on, Ren Guang!" Liu Xiu couldn't wait to watch his brother's side anymore, so he hurriedly rushed forward and hugged Ren Guang hard to keep him from falling to the ground.

"The New Army...... The new army has raided Xiaoyue Tower! Ren Guang clenched his teeth, his eyes were white, and he tried his best not to let himself faint: "Just as we were about to set off to Taishou Mansion, a dense new army surrounded Xiaoyue Tower...... All armed with crossbow arrows...... We were stuck in the Dawn Tower...... Slaughter...... It was a massacre! The new army has long known about our plans! ”

Liu Xiu clenched his fists tightly, and his nails were pinched into the flesh of his palm.

He could imagine what a massacre it was.

Four hundred ranger swordsmen, used for surprise assassination, are naturally indestructible. However, in a small space, ** is surrounded by troops armed with crossbow arrows...... With only a long sword in their hands and no half of a shield, it is natural to imagine what the result will be.

"Only the two of you escaped?" Liu Xiu took a deep breath.

"I finally escaped with Li Tong...... Others...... All dead...... Those crossbow bolts...... It's simply a weapon brought from Huangquan. As long as it is wound, it can be fired, and you don't even need to load the arrow...... I've never seen such a dense rain of swords in my life......"

Ren Guang lowered his head, panting and looking at the crossbow arrow on his shoulder, as if he had just escaped from a hell full of demons.

"Everything was as expected......

Liu Xiu muttered to himself, his heart had sunk to the bottom. The plan to raise troops tonight had already been completely calculated by the person named Wang Mu.

The interception here in the Taishou Mansion, the raid on Xiaoyue Tower, and ......

And the South Gate!

Liu Xiu was taken aback. The defenders of the south gate were empty, which was naturally the arrangement of this king. And let his army enter the city, he ...... There must be something to be done!

However, by the time I thought about it, it was too late.

Heavy footsteps rang out at both ends of the street.
