Chapter 24: Mutations
Everyone was taken aback, and when they saw the sound, most of them suddenly changed color and trembled - in the center of the crowd, around Emperor Shenwu and the others, a large circle suddenly appeared on the ground, and a large group of black-clothed and masked warriors jumped out of the circle, wielding weapons and mercilessly slashing the Imperial soldiers near them.
Because these black-clothed masked men came too suddenly, the Imperial Army soldiers did not come back to their senses at all, let alone organize a defense, and in a moment they were cut down by someone like a melon and a vegetable. Pity these people, who are known as the elite soldiers of the three major battalions of the imperial capital, were still excited and proud to be able to follow the emperor out to bid farewell to foreign envoys, but they didn't expect to be reborn at all, and they were sent to Youyou Huangquan before they came to their senses.
Na Yanke's face changed color, and he shouted loudly in Hu language. His Hu guards immediately rushed over and drew their weapons to protect him at the core. These Hu people looked at the surrounding Imperial troops, and their faces showed a look of vigilance, obviously worried that this was a trap set by the Empire, and they would kill them all on the spot.
Those black-clothed masked men slashed too fiercely, and in a moment, they cut down a large group of Imperial Army soldiers, and then immediately split into two parts, one part continued to chase and cut down those Imperial Army soldiers who were fleeing, and the other part turned to Emperor Shenwu and the others, shouting and screaming towards Emperor Shenwu and the others.
Emperor Shenwu only had a few guards around him at this time. Those guards didn't need to be ordered, and immediately protected the Shenwu Emperor. Similar to the Hu people, they are also on guard against the Hu people, worried that they are secretly setting up an ambush, wanting to wipe out the emperor and hundreds of officials and ministers.
Prince Longde stayed in the imperial capital to guard the city, and it was Lantai who followed Emperor Shenwu out. He quickly calmed down and shouted, "Protect Your Majesty, protect Your Majesty!"
Emperor Shenwu's personal guards quickly set up a formation under the command of Lan Tai and guarded Emperor Shenwu at the core.
Emperor Shenwu had also calmed down at this time. Looking at the personal guards guarding him, and then looking at Lan Tai commanding everyone loudly there, Emperor Shenwu's face showed a hint of relief, and he nodded: "Very good! Lan Tai, you did a good job!"
Lan Tai tilted his head slightly, but did not turn his head to look at Emperor Shenwu, but turned his back to Emperor Shenwu and shouted: "Father, just rest assured!
Emperor Shenwu was relieved and said, "Very good! Lantai, don't let me down!"
Wu Peng was also among the farewell officials. Seeing that the situation was not good, he shouted: "Everyone, protect Your Majesty! Don't give the Assassins a chance! Don't mess up outside, immediately change formation, the shield hand is in the front, and the pikemen and crossbowmen are in the back!"
After all, Wu Peng was the marshal of the Imperial Army, and at this time, he was full of true qi and shouted, and the sound shook for ten miles, and the Imperial Army soldiers present clearly heard the marshal's order, and gradually calmed down, and changed the formation according to the order, forming a copper wall and iron wall to block those black-clothed masked people.
The black-clothed masked people who were rushing towards Emperor Shenwu and the others kept under their feet, and continued to shout and rush towards them, some of them rushed towards Emperor Shenwu, and some of them rushed towards Na Yanke, and fought with their guards. These black-clothed masked men were obviously selected, and their skills were not weak, and the guards on both sides couldn't resist for a while, and they were cut down again.
Leng Rushuang followed Wu Peng's side, and when he saw this, he had already pulled out the Heavenly Death Sword and was eager to try. Wu Peng shouted to her: "Don't act rashly, the most important thing is to protect Your Majesty!"
Leng Rushuang nodded, and stood beside Wu Peng with the Heavenly Death Sword in his hand. The two black-clothed masked men rushed towards this side, cold as frost, and killed the two of them cleanly on the ground.
Wu Peng also rushed up to the opposite of several men in black. With a casual palm, he beat a man in black to the point of blood spraying, and his body flew backwards, and he shouted: "Frost, stay alive! Don't kill them all!"
Since Emperor Shenwu had these two powerful characters by his side, the man in black who attacked Emperor Shenwu couldn't take advantage of it for a while, so one of the men in black whistled and raised the blood-stained knife in his hand and pointed diagonally at Na Yan Ke. Those black-clothed men immediately left Emperor Shenwu's side without hesitation and turned to attack the guards of Na Yan Ke.
There were still more than twenty of these black-clothed men, and their skills were much stronger than those Hu people, and they killed all of Yan Ke's guards in a matter of moments. Na Yan Ke, who was trembling and colorless, was exposed in front of the blades of the black-clothed masked people.
Seeing his guards being slaughtered so cleanly, Na Yan Ke was dumbfounded. These were the most outstanding warriors of their steppe, and they were slaughtered so quickly?
This can't be, it's simply not possible!
Those black-clothed masked people didn't care what he thought, they raised their weapons and shouted wildly, rushing towards Na Yanke like crazy, all kinds of swords, guns and spears greeted his old man together. When Na Yan Ke saw so many swords slashing at him together, he was dumbfounded, standing still like a zombie, and shouted in nonsense: "Oh no, I'm going to return to heaven today!"
Seeing that the situation was critical, Wu Peng shouted to Leng Rushuang: "Shuang'er, go and save the messenger!
Leng Rushuang also understands this truth in his heart. After hearing her father-in-law's command, she did not hesitate to put her toes on the ground, and the whole person turned into a white shadow, rushing towards the group of black-clothed people at a gallop, brushing two swords, stabbing the two black-clothed people to the ground, followed by the heavenly sword, and slashed a black-clothed person to the ground.
When the man in black saw that she was powerful, the people behind him immediately turned around and besieged her, while the two men in black in front ignored everything else, and raised their knives together to slash at the top of Na Yan Ke's head.
It seems that they will do whatever it takes, and they have to hack that Yan Ke to death!
Leng was as frosty as Jiaojiao shouted, her left palm was erected, and she had enough ice river magic skills, and with one palm, a cold and biting cold wind immediately blew up on the ground, freezing several people in black who were in front of her. The few black-clothed men were originally brandishing their weapons and slashing at them angrily, but they were instantly frozen, and their bodies suddenly stopped, maintaining the posture of slashing with their eyebrows and slashing angrily, like ice sculptures.
However, the two black-clothed men at the front, the swords in their hands were already about to slash at Na Yan Ke's head!
When it was too late, Leng Rushuang screamed again, and his body turned into a white shadow again, rushing behind the two black-clothed people like lightning, and the Heavenly Death Sword shook, turning into an ice blue sword shadow, slashing diagonally from left to right.
Attacking at such a distance and at such a time, and using such a rapid sword technique, it only takes a short moment for these two black-clothed men to be split in half diagonally, and they will no longer be able to hurt that Yan Ke!
