Volume 4: Holy Capital Tribulation Chapter 257 Bloodbath
In an instant, the main hall of Wanfu Palace was filled with flashes of swords and splashes of blood.
This time, the fatal battle in Wanfu Palace was different from the fierce battle in Chongtian Temple and the chaotic battle in Guanlan Hall of Zishan Sect that Xu Zun had experienced.
Not only do these Xuanmen assassins have profound martial arts skills and amazing combat power, but the environments and positions they are in are also very different.
At this moment, Xu Zun's side had a small number of people, and even though they were all good fighters from the Inner Guard, they could not withstand the fierce attack of these insidious, vicious and brutal Xuanmen assassins.
After only a short moment of resistance, a gap was torn open among the inner guards, and several nimble assassins broke into the camp first, rushing towards the mechanism of the dragon pillar like moths to a flame, trying to force open the mechanism with their bodies.
Huo Anu was busy defending everyone from hidden arrows and darts, so naturally he had no time to pay attention.
At the critical moment, with the sound of swords clanging, Annie rushed out from the side and stabbed the assassin in front with a sword!
Then, she flicked her wrist, blood spurted out, and the assassin fell backwards and died on the spot.
Annie did not stop, and wielded her sharp and ruthless sword again, temporarily repelling the assassins who broke into the camp.
The inner guards saw the opportunity, stood up immediately to block the gap, and fought with the assassins again.
“Kill! Kill them!!!” The female Taoist had already lost her composure and screamed madly, “Kill them all and open the secret room for me!!!”
However, although the female Taoist master was extremely lustful, there were always several young women protecting her closely, for fear that someone would attack her by surprise like Zhao Yu did.
Weapons clashed, clanging sounds were heard, and the sound of screams was endless.
The hall was filled with a bloody storm, with so much killing that the sun and moon lost their light, the sky was dark, and someone fell down almost every second.
In a short while, the hall became like the Avici Hell!
Several Qilin Guards were killed in the battle. Each of these loyal and brave men fought to the last moment and protected their mission with their lives.
Zhao Yu's body was covered in blood, his knife was also covered in blood, and there was an arrow stuck in his shoulder. Even so, he did not retreat, but continued to fight with his knife, like a bloody god of war.
Huo Anu's iron umbrella was riddled with holes, and could no longer block the assassins' hidden arrows and darts. She had no choice but to risk her life and rush into the enemy camp to fight...
Annie's blue dress had turned scarlet, and blood was dripping from the sleeve of her left hand. It was obvious that she had been seriously injured.
However, Ani still stood proudly in front of Xu Zun with a sword in hand, protecting him tightly and not letting any enemy get close to him...
Looking at the inner guards who followed Xu Zun, they were all in terrible pain. Some of them even had their arms broken or were blinded, but they were still protecting the dragon pillar and fighting bloody battles with the enemy...
Too fast!
Xu Zun originally thought that they could hold out for some time, but he did not expect that in less than a few minutes, the killing would be so brutal.
Although most of the Xuanmen assassins were killed or wounded, they still had dozens of people. If they continued like this, they would be wiped out in no time.
In horror, he instinctively looked towards the secret room, but what he saw made his heart ache.
But Ku Niang was seen leaning against the wall of the secret room with blood at the corner of her mouth and a broken wolf claw stuck in her left arm.
Her body was still straight, but her face was pale and weak, and it was obvious that she had suffered extremely serious injuries!
However, the three top masters were not much better off. Gongsun Yelang had the remaining wolf claws stuck in his face and had been dead for a long time.
The Dark Shadow Demon Luo Jia fell to the ground and rolled over, screaming in pain, as if his eyes had been blinded.
Looking at the Saint Sword Qu Zhenbai's face again, it turned from pale to ghastly, because the left half of her neck had been torn and blood was gushing out!
She tried her best to stop the bleeding with her hands, but it was no use. As the blood spurted out, she gradually lost her breath.
Until the moment of her death, her eyes did not close, but revealed deep fear...
Bitter mother!!!
Seeing Ku Niang injured, Xu Zun felt as if something had stabbed his head.
He no longer cared about the dragon pillar mechanism, and immediately clenched his two daggers, ready to charge forward.
However, at this moment, the long-awaited shouts of killing were finally heard outside the palace gate, and the first person to rush into the hall was Xu Zun's guard Ashu!
Behind Ashura was a whole team of Jinwu Guards wearing golden helmets and armor!
It turned out that after Ashurai and his companions encountered the crazy change of the Yulin Guards at Taiping Gate, they led the team of Jinwu Guards who had just got off work and rushed into the palace.
After entering, they found that the team of Jinwu Guards who had just taken up their posts had also gone berserk and were killing people indiscriminately in the palace, wantonly hacking to death palace maids and eunuchs.
Ah Xiu was quite clever. He quickly realized that there were so many gates in the palace and most of the guards changed shifts at noon, so there should be more than one team of guards undergoing a sudden change in the palace.
Therefore, even if he took these Jinwu Guards to rescue people, it would be of no avail. The most urgent priority was to go to Wanfu Palace to protect the Queen Mother.
So he led the Jinwu Guards all the way to Wanfu Palace.
Unfortunately, Taiping Gate is a bit far from Wanfu Palace, and when they entered Wanfu Palace, they encountered the Xuanmen rebels guarding outside .
After a fierce fight, they killed the rebels of Xuanmen and finally rushed into the hall.
Seeing the bloody scene in the hall, Ashura was shocked at first, then immediately led the Jinwu Guards into the hall and started fighting with the remaining Xuanmen assassins.
Although this team of Jinwu Guards only has about twenty people, they have a great deterrent effect on the Xuanmen assassins.
The assassins were unaware of the situation and thought they were surrounded by a large army, so they retreated while resisting.
Xu Zun took advantage of this opportunity, jumped over the crowd and came to Ku Niang.
"Mother, mother..." Xu Zun asked anxiously, "How are you? Are you..."
Ku Niang's eyes were still fierce and deep, but her expression was no longer numb. When she saw Xu Zun coming in front of her, she opened her mouth slightly.
However, she didn't say a word, but a stream of blood gushed out...
"No...no..." Xu Zun knew that she had internal injuries, and he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. He shouted, "Kuniang, you will be fine! You promised me that you would protect me for three months...you...you can't be in trouble..."
In excitement, Xu Zun hugged Ku Niang and whispered in her ear: "I... I still have many beautiful songs that I haven't sung for you, and you haven't told me the secret of the iron coffin yet..."
However, Ku Niang's condition became worse and worse. In addition to the continuous bleeding, her pupils also gradually dilated...
"My lord, don't move, don't move!" At the critical moment, a bloody man suddenly rushed forward, "My mother has internal injuries, don't let her get excited again! Put it down, put it down..."
ah?
Only then did Xu Zun recognize that the bloody man was actually Zhao Yu.
But Zhao Yu pulled out a few silver needles from somewhere and pierced Ku Niang's body with them a few times. Then Ku Niang vomited a mouthful of black blood!
Then, Zhao Yu took out a pill from his arms and asked Ku Niang to swallow it, and finally asked Ku Niang to sit against the wall.
When he looked again, Xu Zun was surprised to see that the color had returned to Ku Niang's face.
this……
Xu Zun looked at Zhao Yu in surprise. He didn't expect that Zhao Yu knew first aid skills?
"Sir, please don't look at me like that," Zhao Yu wiped the blood off his face, "People in the martial arts world always need some skills to save their lives! Ahem... ahem..."
After a few coughs, several streams of blood foam spurted out of Zhao Yu's mouth, and it was obvious that he was also injured.
“Ah…ah…”
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a scream suddenly came from behind them.
The two looked back and saw that the one who screamed was the Sun Shadow Dark Demon Luo Jia who had his eyes stabbed and blinded.
Seeing that this person was still alive, Xu Zun glared at him angrily, and then said to Zhao Yu: "Old Zhao, do you still remember what nickname I gave you?"
"Oh..." Zhao Yu nodded and said simply, "I understand!"
The next second, Zhao Yu chopped off Luo Jia's right arm with his sword...
…
