The dull "whooshing" sound continued in the ears, and the heads of more than a dozen Grand Prime Minister's Mansion priests who had just been so majestic exploded one after another. They were killed on the spot before they could even see what means the enemy used.

Hundreds of soldiers exclaimed in unison, and a general suddenly raised his left fist: "Shield!"

The soldier turned around and pulled out a heavy steel shield wrapped in rhinoceros skin with a beast-face pattern, which was half his height, from behind him, and banged it in front of him.

"Bang, bang, bang," more than a dozen terrible crashing sounds were heard continuously, and more than a dozen armored soldiers holding heavy shields groaned in unison. Their left hands holding the shields felt severe pain, and the wrist bones were shattered by the huge force.

A dent the size of a human head was created in the middle of a dozen heavy steel shields.

The rhinoceros leather on the surface of the shield was shattered into pieces, and the concave steel shield was cracked with countless hair-thin cracks around it.

In the middle of the depression, there was clearly an iron marble the size of a walnut.

"Hehe, the Great Yin Dynasty is not all a bunch of trash."

A low voice came from behind the killer team. Two days ago, the burly man who broke into the stone house where Leshan was practicing in the middle of the night and killed more than a dozen of Leshan's trusted subordinates, but finally let Leshan go, strode through the crowd and walked up.

The big man was wearing a half-body bronze armor with ancient colors. He was playing with a few iron marbles in his right hand and holding a huge sack in his left hand, dragging it along the way.

One end of the sack was dragged on the ground, rubbing against the stone bricks, making a dull metallic collision sound.

"You, stop working for these corrupt officials... We are here today to seek justice... Get out of the way, and you can live!"

The big man stared at the general who was commanding hundreds of armored soldiers with eyes as sharp as knives.

The general was sweating profusely.

He knew very well how powerful those dozen or so priests in the Prime Minister's Mansion were. They were masters of the Kaijing realm that Zhu Chong had spent a lot of money to invite from the martial arts world.

With Zhu Chong's status and generosity, there were less than thirty such masters of worship, even in the huge Prime Minister's Mansion.

But today, they were killed like chickens, and more than half of them were killed!

The general panted and raised his saber suddenly: "Traitors, follow me to kill the bandits... If we don't die today, the prime minister will not treat us unfairly!"

Hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison and raised their swords.

The swords flashed like snow and their steps were as fast as thunder. These soldiers raised their heavy shields, formed a military formation, and launched a counterattack against the killers in front of them.

"What a pity, they are all good men."

The burly man shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, remember my name, I am Xiong Taidou, you guys, what a pity!"

Xiong Taidou took a deep breath, and his muscles suddenly collapsed inwards in an extremely strange way, and he instantly became a skeleton. Then, accompanied by a long breath, his muscles expanded rapidly, and his height increased by more than a foot.

Xiong Taidou turned into a giant man over ten feet tall, with muscular body. The originally pitch-black surface of his muscles was faintly covered with a layer of light golden color.

He reached into the sack in his left hand with his right hand like a palm leaf fan, grabbed a dozen iron marbles with one palm, and threw them over his head. The iron marbles flew up several feet high, then fell rapidly. He quickly hooked up the index finger of his right hand and flung it, and the fingertip hit the iron marbles, making a terrible roar.

One after another, the iron bullets flew by, turning into afterimages invisible to the naked eye, and gas explosions the size of water tanks exploded in the air.

This force was several times more powerful than the one he used to kill the dozen or so priests just now.

One heavy shield after another exploded with a deafening sonic boom. The iron bullets pierced through the soldiers behind the heavy shields, tearing their armor and bodies into pieces.

One iron bullet can blast a bloody alley in the densely packed army formation.

A dozen iron bullets easily killed thirty or forty soldiers.

Xiong Taidou reached out and grabbed a handful of iron bullets, then continued to shoot them out. The dense sonic booms continued. The soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding heavy shields moved slowly. They were still more than ten feet away from Xiong Taidou when they were smashed to pieces by the densely packed iron bullets.

The terrifying sound of breaking through the air lasted for only a few breaths, and hundreds of brave soldiers were killed in the battle.

Xiong Taidou grinned and shook his head gently: "The difference in cultivation is too great, what's the use of numbers? Hey, it's just military merit!"

When he mentioned the word "military merit", Xiong Taidou turned around and looked at the thousands of killers gathered behind him, who were densely packed and expressionless.

He raised his right hand and waved it forward gently: "Purge the emperor's entourage and kill the traitors!"

Thousands of assassins seemed to be energized, and while shouting the slogan "Clear the imperial court", they rushed into the double gate like a tide, and in an instant completely destroyed the hall where Prime Minister Zhu Chong usually met guests and held banquets.

Mr. Xiong is walking in the front.

Wherever someone resisted, he would shoot out an iron bullet and smash that person into pieces.

With his powerful attack, this team of killers seemed to be in an empty space. They easily broke into several courtyards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, killed countless guards, servants, etc., and broke into the back garden.

In the back garden, one can clearly see that the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion is wide open, and teams of city defense soldiers wearing heavy armor are running towards him like crazy, breaking into the back garden through the back door.

Teams of killers gathered near the back door and were fighting with the city defense troops who were rushing to the rescue.

There are countless rockeries and jungles in the back garden, as well as a large number of man-made landscapes such as streams and ponds. The terrain is complex, and in many places the paths are winding and the roads are very narrow.

This kind of garden structure is very elegant for meeting guests, making friends, drinking and enjoying the scenery.
But if a killer breaks in and the city defense forces want to attack and save lives, it would be embarrassing.

The killers can move flexibly in the rockery gardens, emerge from all kinds of incredible corners, and frantically attack the city defense forces that come to support.

The city defense troops, wearing armor and holding various long weapons, found it difficult to even form a small formation of five people.

Faced with the attacks of these killers, it became very difficult for the city defense forces to break into the back garden.

In particular, the strange fragrance of green smoke caused by the burning of the two carriages was still lingering in the air.

The individual skills of these killers are not weaker than those of the city defense soldiers.

The weapons used by the killers were all unique weapons officially manufactured by Dayin, and their lethality was astonishing.

As the situation changed, the rescue operation of the city defense army seemed quite embarrassing. Near the north gate of the back garden, the corpses were piled up several feet high. However, at their most successful time, they only rushed into the north gate less than twenty feet away.

The high building where Zhu Chong, Bai Changkong and others were located, and the entire rockery were surrounded by thousands of elite guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

They relied on the rockery to form a solid line of defense.

Several heavy crossbows were even set up around the small building and on the top of the rockery. The huge arrows locked the only stone staircase leading up and down the rockery. Anyone who wanted to climb the mountain would be mercilessly shot by the crossbows.

Led by Xiong Taidou, a large group of killers swarmed in and quickly killed the groups of family guards in the back garden.

The lanterns and torches illuminated the surroundings, and Xiong Taidou and others quickly came to the foot of the rockery.

At this distance, Zhu Chong and others who were looking down from above could easily see the appearance of Xiong Taidou and others, and Xiong Taidou could also see the gorgeous purple robe at the highest point of the small building.

"Purge the emperor's entourage! Kill the traitors!"

Xiong Taidou was playing with a handful of iron marbles and yelling at Zhu Chong and others on the top of the tall building.

"Purge the emperor's side?"

Zhu Chong put his hands behind his back and chatted with his colleagues calmly: "Well, we should go and kill that old eunuch Yu Changle."

"Kill the traitor?"

Zhu Chong smiled and looked at his colleagues who were equally calm and composed: "Who among us is the traitor?"

Bai Changkong and others stroked their beards and smiled.

‘Traitor’?

Hey, they are upright gentlemen, how could they be 'traitors'?

From below, Xiong Taidou's roar could be heard again: "Revenge for the people of Anping Prefecture!"

The gentlemen who were originally smiling reservedly suddenly had their smiles frozen.

"Anping Prefecture!" Zhu Chong took a deep breath: "Hasn't that matter been dealt with?"

Standing next to Zhu Chong, Cui Wubu, the eight-foot-tall, handsome, elegant, and excellent-looking Minister of Revenue, stroked his neatly groomed beard and said leisurely, "The Ministry of Revenue has handled the matter of Anping Prefecture properly, without the slightest mistake."

Shang Yang, the Dali Temple official standing nearby, put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "There is no hand or foot left here at the Dali Temple. The Prime Minister knows that all the people involved in the incident in Anping Prefecture were sentenced by me to exile to Xiyou Prefecture. They were infected with the plague on the way and all died on the way."

Zhu Chong laughed: "So, where did all these people come from when they broke into my Prime Minister's Mansion, shouting and killing?"

Shaking his head, Zhu Chong glanced at the group of scholars around him and said quietly, "Now, they seem to have the upper hand."

Xiong Taidou took the lead, leading a large group of killers, and attacked the rockery along the stone steps.

The rockery stone steps are not wide, only a little over six feet.

The guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion could only line up in a long line on the stone steps one by one to defend.

As Xiong Taidou climbed up, only one guard could engage in battle with him at the same time.

Xiong Taidou was playing with an iron marble in his right hand, and whenever he hit a guard, he would fire an iron marble. The stone steps were narrow, with beautifully shaped rockery walls on both sides. When the iron marbles were fired, the guards had no way to dodge and could only take them head-on.

The terrible sound of sonic booms was heard continuously.

One guard after another was killed on the spot.

With great momentum, Xiong Taidou reached the top of the stone steps.

The eight crossbows around him made dull explosions at the same time, and twenty-four spear-sized steel crossbow arrows shot out and pierced Xiong Taidou's body.

On the tall building, a group of officials applauded.

The next moment, the cheers stopped abruptly.

Twenty-four crossbow arrows hit Xiong Taidou, accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of metal colliding. The crossbow arrows twisted, vibrated, and rebounded, and flew more than twenty feet away. None of the crossbow arrows could break Xiong Taidou's skin, and could only leave sesame-sized white spots on his body.
