Chapter 32: The Assassination of King Chiba I
"Sister Xuan, looking at the direction of this Qianye King convoy, it seems to be going to the Temple of Fran!" Ying Ying said to Zhou Mengxuan.
Zhou Mengxuan nodded, she had been in Chiba City for the past few days and had not returned to the Frann Temple.
"I don't think the team is a little unusual. Mu Hancai's eyebrows frowned slightly.
"What's the matter, Sister Cai'er, what did you find?" said Yingying with a curious expression.
Mu Hancai shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything, I just felt that it was too solemn." ”
"Stop, King Chiba has an order, don't follow!" I saw a guard riding a tall horse blocking the middle of the official road, preventing everyone from continuing to follow. Many guards on the side arced out and stopped everyone.
There were many shouts of discontent from the crowd.
"Why don't you let us follow?"
"We just want to show our support for King Chiba!"
......
The horseback guard heard the shouts of the crowd, but did not answer, but remained in the middle of the official road. The scene seemed a little chaotic for a while, but no one dared to move forward.
The Chiba King convoy gradually moved away from everyone's sight and arrived in a bamboo forest. This bamboo forest covers an area of nearly 100 acres, and it is full of emerald green bamboo, which is quite quiet.
"Stop!" the convoy came to an abrupt stop in the middle of the bamboo forest.
"Who dares to hide here, show up quickly!" shouted a man in guard armor at the front of the convoy.
The bamboo forest is still quiet, and you can hear the needle dropping.
No one answered.
"Appearing at this time, King Chiba can still not delve into the sins of Er and other sins, and he will be punished lightly. If not, you will definitely make an example of a thousand knives!" the armored man's voice echoed through the forest.
"Haha, a thousand cuts, to set an example... Your Excellency is holding a big breath. The voice came from the front of the convoy, and it didn't seem to be far away.
The armored man calmed down a little, and then went to investigate with the guards. I don't know when a man in ordinary guard armor came to his side, and the armored man was about to scold, only to see the other party holding a white jade token in his hand, on which was engraved a brave war elephant.
"Ah, Blade Commander!" the armored man dismounted and saluted.
"No, the enemy is in ambush ahead, occupy the position, and do not rush forward. Although this person has changed his outfit, he is the same sword Baixing who has rushed back from the vicinity of the ghost forest for several days.
"Yes, sir. The armored man looked very respectful, and then frowned and said: "The king is in the car, and if the king is delayed, I will suffer a lot of guilt!"
Dao Baixing shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter..." ”
"Alert!" the armored man shouted. The guards were well-trained, and they all raised their spears in their hands, three layers inside and three layers outside, and surrounded the carriage of King Chiba.
"Hmph, I only know at this time, it's too late!" A sneer came from the forest, and then countless black-clothed warriors poured out from all directions, killing the entire convoy.
"Ah, there are so many enemies, and there is no danger to defend here, what can I do?" The armored man suddenly saw the dense black-clothed man, and he was suddenly a little at a loss.
Although he read a lot of military books and often listened to the generals who led the troops talk about the methods of fighting the enemy, at this moment, he was numb.
Seeing that the enemy had already appeared, Dao Baixing immediately stopped hiding, and shouted: "Left guard, block the enemy in the northwest." Right guard, stop the enemy in the southeast. The central defender, full escort of the carriage. ”
The sword hundred lines were assigned to form in a moment, and at this time he stood in front of the convoy, a long-handled scimitar in his hand, and he really had the momentum of being a man.
"The Commander is worthy of the Commander, and I am not as good as it. The armored man looked at his own formation, and suddenly had a lot of respect for the sword in his heart. "It's just that the enemy is strong, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop it for long! Hmph, no matter what, I have to protect the king Zhou Quan. The armored man thought to himself.
"Haha, kill!" an old man in a black cloak showed his figure and walked slowly towards Daobai.
"It seems that you are the real commander of the guards, you have some skills!" the old man sneered.
At this time, the black-clothed warrior who rushed in front had already exchanged hands with the guards. Although the black-clothed warriors are numerous, it is difficult to break through the opponent's defense in a short period of time in the face of an elite army that is not low in strength and has been trained for a long time.
Dao Baixing looked left and right, and nodded slightly. The old man noticed the action of the sword, and said with a slight smile: "What, do you think you can stop us? I think, it is better for us to take away the King of Chiba, and you can also save your lives, why not?"
"Haha!" Dao Baixing leaned back and laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. After a while, he shouted angrily: "The old puppet really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and today he will let you have no shadow and be completely wiped out!"
"Kill!" Dao Baixing didn't seem to want to wait any longer, and when he jumped up, he had already arrived in front of the old man, and slashed at the old man's neck with a wave of his hand. The knife is fierce, and the moves are all ruthless moves to take people's lives, and a murderous aura erupts all over the body, approaching the old man.
"Hmph, I had expected that the old immortal in Mingdu would notice it. You are the commander of the sword of Xiangwei, the ferocity is fierce enough, but the strength is lower. The old man dodged several major killing moves in the hundreds of lines of the knife again and again, and then took out a weapon that was like a long knife, but there were sharp blades on both sides, and a knife was split between swings, and the two fought together.
That old man's skill is even deeper than the sword hundred lines, but everyone is a saint level, and it is impossible to kill each other in a short time. What's more, the sword is exquisite, and there are almost no flaws to follow between the offensive and defensive conversions, and the two of them fought on par for a while.
"Like the wind old man, if you don't make a move at this time, when will you wait!" the old man saw that he couldn't hold a knife in a short time, so he shouted urgently.
"Haha, like an old man, you can't even beat a descendant, your sword skills still need to be improved!" A voice like the wind sounded. But this wind is not a gentle wind, but a cold wind.
When the sound arrives, so do the people.
An old man also wearing a black cloak suddenly appeared in the field, a weapon identical to the old man's hand before, held in an almost dry hand, and stabbed at the back of the knife.
"Like the wind, Lao Tzu asked you to take the King of Chiba, not for you to make a sneak attack. The old man shouted angrily.
"Haha, like an old man, your reputation is completely ruined. The old man laughed wickedly, "If you can't beat a descendant, you have to find someone to help you and make a sneak attack, haha!"
The two old men were fighting, but they were merciless. Dao Baixing was attacked by the enemy at this time, and he was about to die under this knife.
Suddenly, a spear as fierce as thunder, the last one came first, and it had already arrived at the vest of the old man like the wind. The speed of this shot was so fast and fierce that it only made the hairs of the old man stand on end. In the interval, the old man turned his body sharply, and split the spear with his backhand, and his body couldn't help but be thrown away by the huge force.
"Haha, like the wind, the sneak attack failed, and you almost died, and your sword skills still need to be improved!"
"Hmph, junior, you dare to attack me, I'm really impatient, see if grandpa doesn't take your dog's life. The old man was angry, and as soon as his body stabilized, he scolded angrily.
It's just that there is only a spear stuck in the ground in the field, but the owner of the spear is not necessarily known. There was a sound of wind in my ears, and I saw a young man in green clothes rushing towards him, and he arrived in the middle of the field in the blink of an eye.
"Haha, Brother Nan, you came in time!" said Dao Baixing with a laugh. He really went to the ghost gate and walked away, covered in cold sweat.
"Hmph, boy, that's a lot of strength. Rufeng looked at the fierce man in front of him, and the smile on his face also retracted. The other party was far away just now, and the spears they threw were so powerful, how could they be underestimated.
The high priest of Nanyan Shade sent a message, and rushed all the way to this place, and finally arrived here at this critical juncture.
Nan Yansha's eyes were fixed on the old man like the wind, and he slowly picked up the spear. With the spear in hand, Nan Yansha's momentum increased a little.
"Leader Kamui!" shouted the guards guarding King Chiba, and at this time, the people of the Shadowless Gate had not yet attacked the carriage, so everyone still had time to shout and cheer.
"Hmph, Kamui is a fart. The old man scolded like a wind, his body flashed, and he slashed in front of Nan Yansha.
This old man is like the wind, and the speed of his body is naturally quite fast.
Nan Yansha didn't dare to slack off, and even swept the spear over, sinking vigorously. The old man was afraid of Nanyansha's strength, his body was fluttering, and his weapon was swinging his edge again and again, killing Nanyansha, and he didn't dare to approach for a while.
In the eyes of the guards, they only felt that the old man who was like the wind was like a fly flying quickly, making people unpredictable. And Nan Yansha, like a god of war standing proudly, no matter how the enemy changes his position, he stands still.
Looking at the situation, the old man like the wind can't help Nanyansha at all. But if Nan Yansha wants to get out, it is impossible.
The four great Saint Rank masters restrained each other, and no one could help anyone. But the remaining Shadowless Gate Golden Warriors fought with the guards of the King of Chiba, and in just a moment, hundreds of corpses had already been laid. The ground, which was originally covered by dry bamboo leaves, was gradually soaked in blood, and the dense smell of blood made the people who had to fight even more crazy.
After all, there are many people in the Shadowless Gate, and they have a faint upper hand at this time. If nothing happens, the guards will be killed and wounded, and they will not be able to kill the masters of the Shadowless Gate.
But here, it was too close to Chiba Castle, so close that as soon as the news spread, a large number of Praetorian Guards would arrive in a few moments. At that time, even if the masters of the Shadowless Gate were doubled, they would not want to bargain for the slightest.
Time is of the essence at this moment.
"Four guest secretaries, we can't wait any longer, it will change later!" Mu Xingye and the others stood on a small mound at this time, their eyes passed through the bamboo forest, observing the situation in the field.
"Well, I can't wait any longer. Duan Keqing nodded and said to Lang Xiaoqi: "Brother Lang, according to what was set before, do you understand?"
"Well, Duan Keqing rest assured, when the time comes, the formation will not disappoint the three of them. Lang Xiaoqi smiled slightly.
"Well, that's the best. Remember, we worked together to surround Nanyansha and kill him first. Duan Keqing looked at everyone, saw that everyone nodded, and then said, "Okay, let's go!"
A group of six saint-level masters descended the mound and came straight to the battlefield in the forest.
"Brother Duan, did you say that in that carriage, is it really King Qianye?" Xue Keqing said suddenly.
Everyone's hearts sank, and Mu Xingye said intently: "According to the intelligence, King Chiba is indeed on this carriage. At this moment, we are ready to fly, and there is no way back. ”
"Hmph, when the time comes, we will work together to break the carriage and divide the corpses of the people in the carriage first. Gongsun Keqing had a resolute look on his face at this time. Although there are doubts in the hearts of the people, there is no time to explore.
Several masters nodded in agreement, Duan Keqing saw the same, and shouted: "Up!"
I saw that the six people showed their figures in the field, Duan Keqing, Xue Keqing, Gongsun Keqing, and Lang Xiaoqi were in a group of four, and went straight to Nanyansha. As for Mu Xingye and Yu Keqing, they killed the guards directly.
Nanyan Shaben fought with the old man like the wind, and he had already gained the upper hand. At this time, he saw the four great saint rank masters coming straight towards him, and immediately snorted coldly, the spear danced, and he killed Duan Keqing first.
"Okay, if you look for death, then I'll give you a ride. Duan Keqing saw that the other party did not retreat, and even took the initiative to meet him, so cooperative, it was really no better. At that moment, the four of them stood in the direction and circled Nanyansha in the center.
Nan Yansha suddenly felt that there were sharp weapons killing him in all directions, and he couldn't tell which was true and which was false. He knew that he was powerful, and the spear danced vigorously to protect the vital points around him.
"Boom!" The sound of three weapons cutting into the flesh in a row came out, and Nan Yansha was already injured in his arms and thighs at the moment of fighting. Blood spurted out, and many blood-colored flowers dotted out on his green robe, but fortunately it didn't hurt the vital point. Nan Yansha's eyes widened, the gun shot out like a dragon, and stabbed Duan Keqing in the chest.
This formation is quite magical, the four of them wander around their respective directions, and the weapons in their hands are only focused on attacking, and it is difficult for the enemy to lock on to the four of them.
Nan Yansha's shot was no exception, the head of the gun pierced the corner of the middle section of Keqing's clothes, but it did not play the slightest role.
"Lord Rufeng, shoot with all your strength and kill him first. Duan Keqing shouted. Although Nan Yansha's shot didn't stab him, he still felt a great threat.
Nan Yansha missed a shot, and he already felt bad in his heart, if he couldn't break this formation, he was afraid that he would resist for a while, and he would be torn apart by a knife.
Just when Nan Yansha was worried, he felt that the bamboo forest suddenly darkened, and there was a faint thunder in the sky, and then black clouds rolled in, enveloping the entire bamboo forest.
A black and red sword light lit up, and it suddenly cut into Duan Keqing's four-person formation, cutting a hole in the originally flawless formation. Nanyansha found the opportunity, his body flashed, and he looked for this opening and swept out.
"It's not good, it's the Black Flame Divine Sword!" several guest secretaries exclaimed at the same time.
