Chapter 4: Newcomers to the Universe Chapter 50 Being Implicated
Although it was dark at this time, with the help of the hazy moonlight and the lanterns in the courtyard, Xu Jingming and other masters who had reached cellular level control could clearly see the situation in the courtyard.
"Protect His Highness!" The twelve guards who were originally standing separately rushed to the hall door as soon as possible, trying to stop the enemy.
“Stop them!”
Cheng Yanran in the hall gave orders anxiously.
"Let's go." The old man with messy hair and the sword master urged, and immediately led everyone around him to break through the wall of the hall and flee outside.
The King of Swords and Saint Envoy Xun were both extraordinary figures, and they made the same decision at the same time - let the twelve guards stop and delay them while they tried their best to escape.
"They come with bad intentions." The Sword Master's eyes were filled with anger. "With at least three top-notch masters leading the team, the enemy must be well prepared! Who betrayed me? Who leaked my whereabouts?"
At this moment, the Sword Master King instinctively thought that this terrifying attack team was targeting him!
Because he has the highest status and the greatest influence among those present.
The Prince of Yan sounds like a prince, but in fact, his influence is very limited, and the Prince of Yan himself doesn't care!
Saint Envoy Xun is powerful, but he is just an idle master.
Only he is the Sword King! He ranks among the top five in the Red Lotus Sect. He has traveled the world for a long time and has successfully supported several rebel forces. His prestige is extremely high. The current Sect Master is old, and he is even expected to go one step further and become the next Sect Master.
As a high-ranking leader of the rebel forces, he dared not make a big fuss in the imperial capital.
"I came here secretly tonight. My eight followers have been by my side all the time, never leaving my side. Only Yao'er and Yanran had the chance to betray me, but they both went through the 'Red Lotus Cleansing of the Heart ' and should not have betrayed me. What went wrong?" The Sword Master thought secretly.
He didn't think that anyone else present could attract such a large-scale assassination.
"Someone is trying to assassinate Master?" Cheng Yanran was also shocked by the scene. "The Red Lotus Sect is cruel and has many enemies. Many people want to kill Master. The Black Lotus Sect is also at odds with the Red Lotus Sect. Both of them have the possibility of assassinating Master. Am I implicated?"
Envoy Xun's eyes were cold: "Where did these evil people come from? Their spiritual power is not inferior to mine at all. These three enemies are top-notch among the top masters!"
Most top-notch masters cannot achieve such terrifying mental power.
This is also the reason why the Sword Master and Saint Envoy Xun led their men to flee without hesitation! The enemy was powerful and they had no confidence in resisting in a head-on confrontation.
…
Xu Jingming and his group of more than sixty experts turned into afterimages and headed straight for the hall. The twelve guards were trembling with fear upon seeing this.
"Set up the formation."
The twelve guards were all veterans of battle, and even when they were nervous, none of them fled.
Xu Jingming and others were ruthless and carried out Pang Ze's plan completely.
With the three eighth-level masters as the spearhead, other first-rate masters cooperated to deal with the twelve guards first.
"Puff." "Swish." "Rip—"
Swords flash!
The gun light is dazzling!
There are also hidden weapons whistling!
Two fists are no match for four hands. The twelve guards were besieged by so many enemies at once, and three eighth-level masters were among them! Almost at the first encounter, four of the twelve guards fell.
The remaining eight people were naturally killed soon after, in no more than five seconds!
"There is a top-notch expert!"
"ah!"
With shrill cries, the twelve guards fell to the ground, bleeding all over the floor. Xu Jingming and the others did not stop and rushed into the hall, where they saw a wall broken. Cheng Yanran, the Sword Master, and Xun Shengshi all fled in that direction.
Under the spiritual power of an eighth-level master, the position of Cheng Yanran and the others can be completely locked.
"Chase!" Xu Jingming and others quickly caught up.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Arrows calling for help shot up into the sky.
These signal arrows, unlike the Blood Rain Guard's signal arrows, bloomed golden patterns in the air, representing the identity of the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
Obviously, the secret guards around knew that the enemy was powerful, and they also sent out arrows to ask for help.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..." The secret guards scattered around the mansion immediately gathered towards Cheng Yanran to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Damn Yu Feng, he has mobilized a total of thirty first-rate masters." Cheng Yanran looked at the secret guards who came to join him one by one and protected him. He became even more angry at Yu Feng, and also hated his father, the 'King Yan'.
"Originally I had twelve bodyguards and thirty-eight secret guards, all of whom were top-notch experts. I also had Senior Xun to protect me. Even if I were in danger, these many experts would be enough to help me escape." Cheng Yanran hated secretly, "But now there are only eighteen secret guards, and less than ten of them have arrived!"
As for the twelve guards in sight, they have all fallen!
Cheng Yanran felt a strong sense of crisis!
The Sword Master and Saint Envoy Xun, who were fleeing, saw this in the distance and their expressions changed: "Not good!"
As soon as they rushed out of the house, they saw dense afterimages, either walking along the streets, stepping on roof tiles, or along the walls, surrounding them from everywhere.
This was exactly another team of Xu Jingming and his group - a hundred second-rate masters led by Liu Hai. Of course, there were only fifty or sixty people coming to intercept them at first, and some second-rate masters were rushing over at full speed.
"Stop them!" There was no fear in the eyes of Liu Hai and others. As citizens of the universe, they were not afraid of death. Instead, they were looking forward to fighting with masters!
"Break through them!"
The King of Swords, Saint Envoy Xun, Cheng Yanran, the one-armed woman, eight Red Lotus Sect masters and the eleven secret guards who had just gathered also fought desperately. If given enough time, this group of masters could completely defeat the second-rate master team led by Liu Hai.
But they have no time to waste!
“Bang, bang, bang!”
A brutal fight broke out in an instant.
The two top-notch masters, the King of Swords and Xun Shengshi, also fought desperately. One of them used dual swords and the other used a single knife as thin as a cicada's wing. They used hidden weapons and throwing weapons to frantically kill all the enemies that blocked their way.
"Kill." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Cheng Yanran also took out the two swords from his waist and fought desperately. He was indeed very talented to be able to have the King of Swordsmanship as his master. The outside world did not know that the Crown Prince of Yan had quietly reached the level of a first-class master!
At this moment, Cheng Yanran was frantically attacking the enemy in front of him, and the Red Lotus Sect masters and secret guards beside him all looked crazy.
But--
Space Citizen players are even crazier and more desperate!
“They are not afraid of death!”
"They are all dead soldiers!"
The Sword Master King, Saint Envoy Xun and others all felt disappointed.
When the enemy is not afraid of death, the threat of attack is much more terrifying.
Although it was just a face-to-face encounter, Sword Master Wang and his men killed more than ten masters who were trying to stop them. However, in just a few seconds of delay, Xu Jingming, three eighth-level masters, and sixty first-rate masters had already caught up with them.
Whoosh whoosh——
Many masters quickly surrounded the Sword Master and others.
"Stop." The Sword Master said.
Xu Jingming stretched out his hand slightly, and all the masters really stopped.
The secret guards of Prince Yan's Mansion just fired a signal arrow! Within ten minutes, the number of masters who could arrive was limited. Xu Jingming knew very well that there was still enough time.
"May I ask which group of masters want to deal with me, Pang Cheng?" The Sword Master looked at Xu Jingming. He could tell that the man with the stiff and cold expression should be the leader of the team.
"Pang Cheng?" Xu Jingming understood and said with a smile, "So he is the sword master of the Red Lotus Sect. I didn't expect that this time when dealing with the Prince of Yan, I could catch a big fish while doing it!"
The Sword Master was startled.
What?
Are you the one who got implicated?
"Deal with me?" Cheng Yanran was also extremely shocked. Such a ferocious enemy was targeting him?
"Is there any misunderstanding?" Cheng Yanran asked.
"Misunderstand?"
Xu Jingming looked at him, then turned to look at the Sword Master, and said coldly, "Sword Master, if you want to live, tell your men not to interfere. Otherwise... you will die with me!"
The Sword Master's pupils shrank, and then he grinned: "Haha... Since you have a grudge against the Prince of Yan, I will naturally not interfere. No one from my Red Lotus Sect will interfere. Can you let us go first?"
"Wait aside for now." Xu Jingming said.
The Sword Master said nothing, but just waved his hand, and then his eight followers, five secret guards, and the one-armed woman all followed the Sword Master to the side.
“Yao’er, Master, you all…” Cheng Yanran looked at this scene with some despair.
"Yanran, don't blame your master." The Sword Master said, "This is your own fault. I can't help you." The one-armed woman sighed softly, not wanting to look at Cheng Yanran again.
Cheng Yanran was silent.
There were indeed masters of the Red Lotus Sect among his secret guards. Now, as soon as the Sword Master waved his hand, the people of the Red Lotus Sect immediately followed the Sword Master and hid aside.
"Your Excellency, could you please spare His Royal Highness? His Royal Highness has done me a favor." Envoy Xun said, "Whatever you ask for, feel free to ask."
Xu Jingming's eyes turned cold: "Kill!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Three eighth-level masters and many first-rate masters rushed up instantly.
Several secret guards around Cheng Yanran fell down in an instant. Only the Saint Envoy Xun's sword light was strange and unpredictable. Every move was infused with spiritual power, affecting the surroundings and affecting many top masters. The Saint Envoy Xun also said: "I can't save Your Highness, can you let me live?"
But Xu Jingming looked at him coldly and ignored the Holy Envoy Xun.
Just a moment.
Saint Envoy Xun was dead! Although his swordsmanship was terrifying, the three eighth-rank masters were not inferior to him. With three of them besieging him, it was already remarkable that Saint Envoy Xun could hold out for a breath.
"Puff." Cheng Yanran was eventually stabbed in the chest despite her frantic resistance.
"I……"
Cheng Yanran stared down at the wound on his chest.
Xu Jingming walked over.
"Cheng Yanran." Xu Jingming looked at him.
Cheng Yanran raised his head, with madness in his eyes: "I knew this day would come. I have had a great time these years. It is worth dying for."
"Worth it?" Xu Jingming took out a medicine bottle from his arms, uncorked it, and sprinkled the powder in the bottle on Cheng Yanran's body and also on the wound on her chest.
Cheng Yanran suddenly let out a shrill scream, her voice filled with pain and fear.
But soon he could no longer make any sound from his throat, his skin turned red and he was shaking , his eyes were filled with despair and pain, he had never tasted such a terrible taste. When the pain reached an unimaginable level, death was a relief.
"This is bloodworm powder, specially prepared for you." Xu Jingming said softly, "Don't you always want to kill me?"
Xu Jingming took off the human skin mask on his face and looked at Cheng Yanran.
Cheng Yanran, who was no longer able to make any sound, looked at the person in front of him, and his eyes suddenly widened.
Jingming?
One of Fei Xinlan's two male friends? On the day when Fei Xinlan became his apprentice, Jingming and Luo Baichuan were just small characters standing in the corner. Wasn't he just an ordinary captain of the Blood Rain Guard?
Xu Jingming was too lazy to look at Cheng Yanran. He raised his head to look at the Sword Master King and others who were in shock.
"Not good." The Sword Master and the others changed their expressions. "Removing the human skin mask? Exposing his true identity? Although I don't know this person, but seeing his real face... I'm afraid..."
"Kill them." Xu Jingming waved his hand.
"Your Excellency..." the Sword Master spoke anxiously.
The three eighth-level masters led many first-rate masters to surround and kill them.
Xu Jingming watched this scene calmly.
Let them go?
No matter whether it is the Red Lotus Sect or any other force! We will kill them all!
Just now, I just "divide them", otherwise it would still take some effort to kill the Sword Master, Xun Shengshi and others. Now it becomes much easier to defeat them one by one.
"You still want to kill me even though you know my identity?" The Sword Master thought that if there was no grudge, the other party would not easily make an enemy of the Red Lotus Sect! If he put forward some conditions, he might let them live.
But who would have thought...
Still have to kill!
While they were besieging and killing the Sword Master and others, many second-rate masters were also ordered to search the house and the bodies.
"Who are you and why do you have to kill me?" The Sword Master roared angrily before he died.
Xu Jingming looked at him and saw the Sword Master die under the siege of three eighth-level masters!
"Search their bodies." Xu Jingming stepped forward and personally searched the body of the Sword Master. He was the most important figure present.
"These two swords are icy cold, obviously they are not ordinary weapons, and they are of extraordinary value." Xu Jingming first put away the two swords of the Sword King, "Silver notes, gold leaves... they are worth tens of thousands of taels! He is worthy of being the Sword King of the Red Lotus Sect."
Carrying tens of thousands of taels with you! And they are all text-free codes.
For the Sword Master, it is just a matter of carrying some money with him. When he travels around the world, he needs money a lot of the time.
"This is..." Xu Jingming suddenly took out a piece of animal skin.
The animal skin is incomplete, feels extremely soft, and has densely packed strange patterns on it.
"What's this?"
Touching the animal skin, the subtle smell on the skin made Xu Jingming feel suffocated. He vaguely felt that... this was a treasure.
"It should be a treasure. I'll check it out later." Xu Jingming put it in his arms.
The house was briefly searched, including all the bodies.
Xu Jingming was there, watching Cheng Yanran eventually die in agony.
"Letting you die like this is already a bargain for you." Xu Jingming said silently.
Liu Hai stepped forward at this moment, put Cheng Yanran's head into the wooden box, and then tied it up.
"Thank you for your help, Master." Xu Jingming looked at Liu Hai.
"Leave it to me." Liu Hai left with the package. He had to go to the Imperial Capital headquarters of the Seven Killings Building as quickly as possible to collect the bounty for "killing Cheng Yanran." Because once the news of Cheng Yanran's death leaked out, the Imperial Capital officials would definitely frantically track down the murderer, and it would be difficult to collect the bounty at that time.
