Chapter 289: Implicated (1)
Despite it being dark at night, Xu Jingming and the other experts—who had reached cellular control—could clearly see the situation in the courtyard with the help of the hazy moonlight and the lanterns in the courtyard.
“Protect His Highness!” The 12 guards—who were originally scattered—immediately rushed to the door of the hall to stop the enemy.
“Stop them!” Cheng Yanran ordered anxiously in the hall.
“Let’s go,” the disheveled elder—Sword Dharmaraja—urged. He immediately led everyone around him to tear through the hall’s walls and flee.
Being extraordinary figures, Sword Dharmaraja and Emissary Xun made the same decision at the same time—have the 12 guards block and stall for time while they fled with all their might.
!!
“They come with ill intentions.” Sword Dharmaraja’s eyes were filled with anger. “With at least three super experts leading the way, the enemy must be well-prepared! Who betrayed me and exposed my whereabouts?”
At this moment, Sword Dharmaraja instinctively believed that this terrifying team was targeting him! This was because he had the highest status and influence.
The Prince of Yan may be a prince, but in fact, his influence was very limited. The King of Yan thought little of him!
Emissary Xun was strong, but he was only an unaffiliated expert.
Only he, Sword Dharmaraja, was ranked in the top five in the Red Lotus Sect. He had traveled extensively across the world and had successfully supported several rebel forces. His prestige was extremely high. The current sect master was in his advanced years, so he stood a chance of advancing to become the next sect master.
As a high-ranking figure of a rebel faction, he didn’t dare to make a scene in the capital.
I came here incognito tonight, and my eight attendants have been by my side the entire time. Only Yao’er and Yanran had the chance to betray me, but the two of them have undergone the Red Lotus Heart Cleansing. They shouldn’t have betrayed me. What happened?
He didn’t think that the others present could attract such a large-scale a.s.sa.s.sination.
Someone is trying to a.s.sa.s.sinate Master? Cheng Yanran was also shocked by this scene. The Red Lotus Sect is ruthless and has many enemies. Many people want Master dead. The Black Lotus Sect is also at odds with the Red Lotus Sect. All of them have reasons to a.s.sa.s.sinate Master. Am I getting implicated because of this?
Emissary Xun’s eyes were cold. Where did these people come from? Their psychic forces aren’t inferior to mine at all. These three enemies are considered top-notch among super experts!
Most super experts couldn’t project such terrifying psychic forces. This was also the reason why Sword Dharmaraja and Emissary Xun didn’t hesitate to escape with their men! The enemy was powerful, and they didn’t have the confidence to resist head-on.
…
Xu Jingming and the other 60-plus experts turned into afterimages and headed straight for the hall. The 12 guards’ hearts trembled when they saw this.
“Set up the formation.” The twelve guards were battle-hardened. Even though they were nervous, none of them fled.
Xu Jingming and the others showed no mercy and carried out Pang Ze’s plan.
With three Lv. 8 experts as the vanguard, the other first-rate experts worked together to deal with the twelve guards first.
Pu. Chi. Rip—
The light from sabers and swords flashed!
The spear beam was dazzling!
Concealed weapons whistled!
Being outnumbered, and with the 12 guards instantly surrounded by so many enemies—of which three Lv. 8 experts were among them—four of the 12 guards fell in almost an instant.
The remaining eight people were naturally killed in less than five seconds!
“There are super experts!”
“Ah!” Amidst the shrill cries, the 12 guards collapsed, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Xu Jingming and the others didn’t stop at all and had already rushed into the hall. They saw a wall in the hall shatter, and Cheng Yanran, Sword Dharmaraja, Emissary Xun, and the others had fled in that direction.
Under the envelopment of the Lv. 8 experts’ psychic force, they could completely lock onto Cheng Yanran and the others.
“Go after them!” Xu Jingming and the others quickly caught up.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bugle arrows begging for help shot into the sky. These arrows were different from the Blood Rain Guard’s arrows.
Golden patterns bloomed in the air, representing the ident.i.ty of King of Yan’s Estate.
It was obvious that the surrounding secret guards knew how powerful the enemy was, so they also issued signals for help.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The secret guards scattered around the residence immediately gathered around Cheng Yanran to protect him.
d.a.m.n you,Yu Feng. He consecutively transferred a total of 30 first-rate experts. Cheng Yanran watched as the secret guards rushed over one after another to protect him. His hatred for Yu Feng deepened, and he resented his father, the King of Yan.
Originally, I had 12 guards and 38 secret guards, all of whom were first-rate experts. I also had Senior Xun protecting me. Even if I encountered danger, with so many experts present, it was enough to protect me as I fled. Cheng Yanran burned with hatred. But now, there are only 18 secret guards. Less than ten have caught up with me!
As for the 12 guards out in the open, they had all collapsed!
Cheng Yanran felt a strong sense of danger!
The fleeing Sword Dharmaraja and Emissary Xun saw something in the distance, and their expressions couldn’t help but change. “Not good!”
Their large entourage had just rushed out of the courtyard when they saw dense afterimages either taking the streets, dashing across the roof tiles, or surrounding them from all directions along the courtyard wall.
This was Xu Jingming’s other team—the 100 second-rate experts led by Liu Hai. Of course, only 50 to 60 people came to intercept them; the other second-rate experts were still rushing over at full speed.
“Stop them!” Liu Hai and the others had no fear in their eyes. As cosmic citizen players, they weren’t afraid of death. Instead, they looked forward to fighting experts!
“Break through them!” Sword Dharmaraja, Emissary Xun, Cheng Yanran, the one-armed woman, the eight Red Lotus Sect experts, and the eleven secret guards that had just gathered went all out. If they had enough time, these experts could completely defeat the team of second-rate experts led by Liu Hai.
