Chapter 340: Desperate Situation
An incomparably brilliant fire suddenly brightened in the drainage channel, which was not too open.
The blazing flames enveloped the billowing aura of destruction, colliding and tumbling on the four walls of the drainage channel, and then turned into a wave of heat, and slammed into the dozens of interceptors stationed at the key points of the channel.
The Imperial Guards who intercepted it obviously didn't expect that the few bugs they were searching for would be even more unscrupulous than they imagined, and they would directly attack them.
And with the flying firelight, a figure of an extremely fast dark guard was even more impressively in people's field of vision, taking the lead in piercing into the darkness farther away.
He even left a sentence in a loud voice: "Qin Wupiao?"
Obviously, the dark guard who suddenly made this accent at this moment and decisively chased after him was Su Mu himself, who was dressed in the secret guard.
Qin Wuxian happened to be a Blazing Knight, so Su Mu didn't try to use other rules at all.
Instead, it is simply a flying flame to attract the attention of the interceptors.
However, Su Mu's shouting to catch the thief obviously had an extremely good effect.
When Su Mu had just passed the corner of the passage, Su Mu immediately let out a scream that seemed to be terrifying, and then once again swayed the blazing fire, and then shouted loudly:
"Su Mu, Qin Invincible?"
If it was simply that "Qin has no mercy", it was not enough to make the interceptors act easily.
But at this time, as Su Mu shouted out the names of himself and Qin Wuyi, the secret guards who were originally to recover Qin Wushu and hunt Su Mu could not continue to wait after all.
So one after another, the figures that suddenly pierced the sound of the wind had also pierced into that tortuous corner.
And the other secret guards who heard the sound in all directions had already outflanked them from all angles, and they all surrounded the passage where Su Mu lit the fire.
However, the secret guards who came to surround it quickly obviously did not find the trace of those "targets" at the first time.
After all, their real goal is actually leading them to shuttle around.
Although the Imperial Guards must have a way to distinguish each other. But in such a matter of urgency, of course, everyone will not go through those tedious identifications, and can only identify their companions by their own clothing.
So all of a sudden, all the Imperial guards were hurriedly encircling it.
But as for the real target of their containment, it is constantly attracting a huge stream of dark guards, and they are moving quickly towards the depths of the drainage channel.
Seeing this, Maggie and Qin Wupian naturally would not waste the opportunity provided by Su Mu, and they had already quickly swept through the previously difficult pass in the chaos of the dark guard.
As long as you leave the pass, you can easily leave through the drainage of the outer city.
And the ordinary defense of the outer city, the two can easily break through.
......
But at the same time that Maggie and the others successfully crossed the obstacles, Su Mu, who was the bait, was a little surprised to find that although the strength of the imperial guards was not strong, their discipline was far better than Su Mu imagined.
Even under the guidance of Su Mu, the secret guards were indeed slightly irritated that the target could not be found.
However, even so, the Imperial Secret Guards were still operating in an orderly manner, making it impossible for Su Mu to get rid of the front of the crowd at all.
can only continue to attract countless dark guards, and once again track towards the unknown front.
However, Su Mu is Su Mu after all, when the imperial secret guards gradually converged into a torrent and kept approaching Su Mu's position.
Su Mu had already put away the flame blade candle shadow, and instead pulled out the standard long knife of the Imperial Secret Guard.
Then, without hesitation, he suddenly changed his direction, and with the help of the visual shadow of the phantom demon ball, and on the other hand, with the ancient fighting technique that does not need to summon the rules, he reflexively cut into the crowd of dark guards who were tracking.
The shiny blades of snow flickered through the dimly lit drainage channel.
is so sharp and compelling, he directly cut a secret guard to serious injury.
Even some of the secret guards behind Su Mu had already lit up the hand-held Qi lanterns during the tracking, making the drainage channel no longer so gloomy and dark.
But in the midst of the heavy figures, there is the visual distortion power of the phantom demon ball, but people can't see who is making the shot.
And Su Mu succeeded in a blow, and he didn't stop at all.
A succession of silver blades continued to slide down from all angles to the weak points of the guards' defenses.
In just a split second, more than a dozen Secret Guards had been traumatized.
"Assembled, arrayed, and they wore the same uniform as us, and now they are hidden among us. Don't continue to entangle with them, and keep ourselves safe first. ”
A certain person in the secret guard, who is also a commander, finally discovered Su Mu's secret.
So the most correct decision was made in the first time.
But at this moment, Su Mu obviously would not allow the secret guards to line up with each other, so as to completely exclude himself who didn't know how to line up.
Therefore, at the same time as the crowd was crowding, a surging flame triggered by Su Mu holding the candle shadow in his left hand suddenly attacked the secret guard who had given the order earlier.
Before the man could even utter the second command, he had already turned into a scorched black corpse in the boiling red flames.
However, Su Mu's move was actually extremely risky.
With the flash of fire, even the less intelligent Dark Guard could easily identify the heretic with the flame blade in the crowd.
As a result, countless sharp blades also smashed towards Su Mu's position like a thunderstorm.
If it weren't for Su Mu's preparation to withstand the impact from the beginning, and his right hand was still holding the long knife used for defense, I am afraid that he would not be able to resist this brilliant sword at all.
Fortunately, as the Knight of the Ancient Martial Arts, Su Mu's close range was his most powerful domain after all.
Even though countless swords fell one after another, Su Mu still relied on his instinctive quick reaction to skillfully push away every attack.
So much so that when the sword light gradually went out, and Su Mu once again escaped into the crowd with the phantom demon.
But there was still no one who really hurt Su Mu.
......
"What kind of system, everyone stands in place, whoever dares to act will kill him first!"
As an astonishing Qi energy coercion suddenly descended, a roar containing rolling anger suddenly brought the chaotic scene to a halt.
The secret guards searching in the imperial city finally found the three companions who were killed, and they also found the entrance where Su Mu and the three entered the drainage channel.
So the leader of the internal officials, who finally determined the whereabouts of the bugs, has now brought more secret guards again, and has also entered the drainage channel that has been blocked for a long time.
It's just that even the chief of the internal officials didn't expect that:
The other party had already clashed with the dark guards in the passage, and even hid arrogantly among the dark guards, which made the dark guards embarrassed.
But now, with the arrival of the chief of the internal officials, more and more hand-held Qi lanterns have also been lit up in the hands of the secret guards behind the chief of the internal officials.
In an instant, the dim passage was also illuminated.
And with the sudden cessation of the head of the internal officials, the imperial secret guards who were originally in the chaotic war have now subconsciously put their long knives into their sheaths under the majestic power of the internal officials.
did not dare to act rashly, waiting for the chief of the internal officials to make a decision.
"Everyone, retreat to the sides of the passage and show your faces. I'd like to see what those bugs dare to do lawlessness in the Imperial City. ”
With the order of the chief of the internal officials, all the imperial secret guards, including Su Mu, retreated to the sides of the passage separately, and each revealed their faces in the bright light of the Qi lantern.
Although the chief of the internal officials himself, it is impossible to remember the face of each secret guard.
But as for the appearance of Su Mu, Qin Wulian, Maggie and others, he had already deeply reflected these people in his mind in the academy conference for a long time.
However, with the sinister smile on the face of the chief of the internal officials, he swept his gaze over everyone little by little.
A subtle weirdness is once again in this drainage channel.
Every person, every face...... It was not even Qin Wupian that the internal official leader was looking for, and there was no Su Mu and the others who rescued Qin Wupian out!
A kind of doubt mixed with awe-inspiring emotions finally appeared in the heart of the chief of the internal officials.
Obviously, it was with the Phantom Demon Ball that Su Mu successfully distorted his original appearance.
Although among the Imperial Secret Guards, they do have their own records. However, it will undoubtedly take a long time to compare the rosters.
And now that Qin Wulian and the others really managed to escape from here, I am afraid that the head of the internal officials will not be able to take on this responsibility.
Fortunately, as the head of the internal officials in charge of the royal secrets, he is still a decisive person after all.
After a slight groan, he quickly ordered again:
"Now the people who followed me down have given priority to blocking the entry and exit gates to the outer city, and as for these people who have just fought each other, they are still not allowed to make any rash moves. ”
"Parrots that learn to speak are only brutes after all, and no matter how realistically they learn, they will never become real humans. ”
The remarks of the head of the internal officials were obviously using insults to provoke the generals.
But even it understands that this method really doesn't have much effect.
After all, those who dare to go deep into the imperial city to save people will naturally not take the initiative to become the target of being besieged by everyone in order to lose their dispensable face.
It's just that under this situation, the head of the internal officials doesn't seem to be in a hurry.
Instead, it seems to be deliberately waiting for the passage of time, waiting for the secret guards who go to the blockade pass to give priority to completely cutting off the target's retreat.
Then, with an oppressive gaze, it kept flowing back and forth on the face of each dark guard.
It wasn't until about a hundred breaths later that the Imperial Secret Guards had undoubtedly completely blocked the retreat, and the chief of the internal officials once again put a cruel smile on their faces.
Then he said in a soft tone that Su Mu only had a loophole:
"Pull out all the long knives you have sheathed again...... Even if some people can resist the light of the sword in the sky, on the long knife in his hand, there will always be some traces that reveal themselves!"
