"Not good." Wu Xiong's eyes were splitting in anger, and he only hated himself for being careless.
His subordinate died, and in his rage, he forgot to put Wu Yuan's safety first!
"No!"
"Sir." The other five city guard centurions were anxious, but they were hundreds of meters apart and could only watch as thirteen armor-piercing arrows were fired at Wu Yuan.
"quick!"
"Protect the young master." The four centurions who had been following Wu Yuan were all frightened and angry. With their strength, if they were to intercept an armor-piercing arrow, they would be seriously injured!
If there were only three or four armor-piercing arrows, the four of them could still hope to protect Wu Yuan together.
Can it be thirteen?
Almost impossible to protect!
It should be noted that once the armor-piercing arrow is shot, how terrifyingly fast it will be? The thirteen black-armored figures have been hiding in the dark, aiming for a long time, just hoping to hit with one blow.
It doesn't give the guards much time to react.
..."Thirteen armor-piercing crossbows, worth thousands of gold!"
"They only have four top-notch experts to protect them. They can't stop them."
"The one protected in the center should be Wu Yuan, shoot him directly." More than a dozen black-armored figures stared intently, especially the burly black-armored figure at the head, who was full of murderous intent.
If they had attacked with armor-piercing crossbows from the beginning, with the protection of ten elite masters, Wu Yuan might have been able to survive.
In the crossbow ambush, the first strike is the most unexpected and the most difficult to avoid!
They recruited a large number of land bandits to launch the first wave of attacks. The purpose was to distract the attention of the many guards. It was best to distract them.
The goal was achieved.
Just wait until Wu Yuan is shot and killed, and the mission will be completely completed.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" When Cong Wuxiong and the others saw these black-armored ambushers, the terrifyingly powerful armor-piercing arrows were shot in front of Wu Yuan.
One of them, which no guard could stop, shot straight at Wu Yuan's head!
suddenly.
"Wow!"
"Wow!" "Wow!" A strange sword light lit up out of thin air, and immediately divided into thirteen parts, turning into a sky full of sword light that enveloped the team that was moving forward at high speed.
"Peng~" "Peng~" Thirteen armor-piercing arrows collided with the sword light accurately, and exploded one after another.
In an instant, Wu Yuan's life and death crisis was lifted.
Not a single armor-piercing arrow came close to Wu Yuan.
"this!"
"Is it him? That steward?" The four centurion guards who were about to fight for their lives looked at Gu Ji who suddenly jumped up in shock and had incredible sword skills!
One knife instantly shattered thirteen armor-piercing arrows!
What kind of terrifying power?
Was such an expert secretly sent by the sect to protect Wu Yuan?
"Everyone stop." Gu Ji's voice was cold, and he had already jumped onto Wu Yuan's horse, holding a knife in one hand and hugging Wu Yuan in the other.
He suddenly pulled the reins of the horse and made the horse stop quickly!
"Hush!"
"Hello!" The four centurion guards pulled on the reins one after another.
"Young Master, I will protect you. You go and help Captain Wu and the others to kill everyone!" Gu Ji's voice was cold and his murderous intent was evident: "Remember, only a few are left alive for questioning."
"yes!"
"Kill." The four guards were all excited. They immediately turned their horses, accelerated sharply, and rushed towards the gentle slope of the mountain.
At this time.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" There was a sharp and harsh whistling sound, and more than ten terrifying armor-piercing arrows struck.
"Wow!" The sword light lit up!
"Peng!" "Peng!" "Peng!" There was a series of low roars and explosions, and more than ten armor-piercing arrows either exploded or were guided to one side.
Still none of them can get close to Wu Yuan.
The terrifying strength of Gu Ji is undoubtedly highlighted!
There will be no third wave of arrows.
Because when Wu Xiong and the other first batch of guards noticed the men in black armor, they frantically formed a formation and attacked the dozen or so figures in black, forcing them to abandon their crossbows and draw their swords.
Fight!
"team leader!"
"How can there be a first-rate master?"
"What should we do?" These figures in black were all frightened. They were well-trained, and they also joined forces to fight with Wu Xiong and the others.
However, in terms of strength, they are far apart!
Among the more than ten figures in black, only two have the strength of third-rate masters, and the rest are only martial arts masters.
As for the large number of land bandits?
In the face of the terrifying strength gap, they were completely defeated.
Especially the leader of the land bandits, his scalp almost exploded after seeing the terrifying strength of 'Gu Ji'.
"A second-rate master may be able to avoid armor-piercing arrows and even split three or five arrows, but can he split thirteen arrows in an instant? Absolutely not possible!" The land bandit leader was terrified.
It can smash thirteen armor-piercing arrows with one sword.
At least he is a top-notch expert!
"There is obviously no first-class master in Licheng. That old guy from Dongye County has long been old. Where did this master come from?"
"How could this mission provoke a top-notch expert?" The bandit leader frantically fled deep into the dense forest.
There is no more courage to fight.
If you are a second-rate master, you can still rely on your numerical advantage and try one or two with an armor-piercing crossbow, and you might be able to win!
A top-notch expert?
In terms of physical fitness, they are at least nearly three times as good as third-rate masters, plus the gap in combat skills?
A ten-fold difference in strength is not enough to describe.
Normally, a third-rate master would be killed instantly in front of a first-rate master.
"Boom!" There was a faint roar in the air.
The leader of the land bandits turned his head in horror and saw Gu Ji Zheng holding Wu Yuan in one hand and running towards him at an astonishing speed.
Gu Ji stepped on the ground, dust rose up along the way, the sword light was lit, and the land bandits who fled in various directions fell down like mowing grass.
Every neck was cut open!
He was obviously leading a man and was still killing enemies along the way, but his speed was actually faster than that of a fierce horse.
He rushed directly towards the bandit leader.
"Senior, have mercy! Have mercy! I have important information!" The leader of the land bandits suddenly knelt down, kowtowed repeatedly, and begged for mercy.
Beat? Can’t beat!
Escape? Can't escape!
Only by begging for mercy can there be a glimmer of hope for survival. The bandit leader does not want to die like this.
"Wow!" A terrifying sword light passed by and split apart in an instant.
"ah!"
The leader of the land bandits showed a look of pain and fear. The light of the knife instantly passed over his arms and thighs, severing the tendons and tendons of his limbs.
His whole body flew up in an instant, and then landed heavily.
Coughing up blood.
His whole body was dripping with blood, and it was difficult to get up for a while.
"escape!"
"It's too scary, run away." Seeing this scene, this group of land bandits finally collapsed completely and had no idea of resistance. Some even threw away their weapons, only regretting that they didn't escape fast enough.
But.
"Pfft!" "Pfft!" Gu Ji grabbed Wu Yuan's inner armor with one hand and protected him personally, but his speed was still astonishingly fast. A series of sword lights lit up, and the gangsters fell one after another.
Those centurion guards were also divided into four groups, and they rushed to both sides of the battlefield with a tacit understanding. They strangled each other in groups of two, chasing the fastest escaping land bandit.
Just a few dozen breaths.
The shouts of killing that originally shot up to the sky disappeared, and the gently sloping mountain forest became completely quiet. Only the blood of corpses on the ground told how terrible battles had been experienced here!
call!
Gu Ji finally brought Wu Yuan to a stop, released his grip on Wu Yuan's inner armor, and allowed Wu Yuan to land.
"Hoo! Hoo!" Wu Yuan gasped, his eyes scanning the bloody corpses on the ground, and there seemed to be a hint of fear.
"Young master, I've frightened you." Gu Ji whispered: "But if we don't kill all these land bandits, today's news will be leaked, I'm afraid it will cause some trouble."
"I understand, thank you Uncle Ji for the rescue." Wu Yuan whispered, with a hint of paleness on his face, as if he was trying to stay calm.
Gu Ji nodded slightly.
"Master!"
"I've frightened you." Wu Xiong gathered up with many bloody guards.
Especially Wu Xiong, whose face was full of fear.
"It's not your fault, who would have expected that a group of gangsters would have so many big crossbows?" Wu Yuan shook his head and said, not blaming Wu Xiong and the others.
He didn't blame.
"I hope that this kind of thing will not happen again." Gu Ji, who has always been taciturn, said with a cold voice: "Remember, our mission is to protect the young master and reach the sect safely."
"Also, forget my existence and don't mention me to anyone." Gu Ji glanced at each of the guards.
"Yes!" Wu Xiong and the others all bowed their heads, not daring to explain.
Wu Yuan did not explain Gu Ji's identity, but his revealed strength said it all.
Besides, Wu Xiong and the others are not idiots.
The sect secretly arranged for such a master to protect Wu Yuan.
The importance of Wu Yuan can be imagined.
"This group of land bandits is too weak to have so many armor-piercing crossbows." Gu Ji said coldly: "Those men in black were obviously trained. Most of them would rather commit suicide than surrender.
If you are alive, go and interrogate him quickly and try to find out the reason as much as possible."
"yes."
Wu Xiong and the others quickly dispersed. Some went to interrogate the few survivors, while others rummaged through the corpses, looking for clues and...properties!
Gangsters have a tradition of hiding their belongings on their bodies.
time flies.
In just half a quarter of an hour, the interrogation came to a conclusion, and the bandit leader and several other survivors were killed directly.
So far.
All the gangsters involved in the ambush were killed!
"Sir, this is a premeditated ambush." Wu Xiong did not dare to put on the airs of his elders anymore and solemnly reported: "According to what the black-armored man said and some evidence we looked at the black-armored man's body, we arranged this incident
The murderer of this ambush must be the 'Guiyu Sect' of Dongzhou."
"Gui Yu Zong?" A trace of doubt flashed in Wu Yuan's eyes.
"Guiyu Sect is one of the eight major sects in Dongzhou. Its overall strength is stronger than our Hengyun Sect." Gu Ji suddenly said: "If we say that the current enemy of our Hengyun Sect, the Jin Empire ranks first, then,
Guiyu Sect is the undisputed second."
Wu Yuan nodded slightly.
China is vast and has a long history, and the history of each state is very complicated. Although I have read a lot of classics in the past few months, I can only say that I have a deep understanding of Jiangzhou and Chuzhou.
Other states? I only know roughly.
The impression of Dongzhou ranks second among the thirteen states in the world, second only to Shengzhou occupied by the Jin Empire.
The area, population, etc. of Dongzhou far exceed that of Jiangzhou.
Being ranked among the eight major sects in Dongzhou, one can imagine the strength of Guiyu Sect.
"We have clearly detached a suspicious force, how come Guiyu Sect was able to ambush it so quickly? Is it possible that someone leaked the secret?" Wu Yuan frowned.
"This is just an ambush team arranged by Guiyu Sect." Wu Xiong said: "According to what the Guiyu Sect disciple said, they were not sure which direction we would set off from, so they arranged four
Teams, ambushes on different paths."
"The strength of the other three teams is no less than theirs." Wu Xiong said solemnly.
Gu Ji's eyes on the side moved slightly.
"Four teams?" Wu Yuan looked shocked: "Guiyu Sect secretly dispatched so many forces to enter Li City?"
"Pay such a high price just to kill one of my specially recruited disciples?"
