The four guards tightly surrounded Liu Lang and used their bodies as human shields to block the crossbow arrows.
With the continuous sound of machine gunfire, crossbow arrows were shot ruthlessly into the depths of the alley. In just a moment, the bodies of the four guards were shot into hedgehogs, but the guards continued to persevere, even if only one was left.
He also vowed to protect the prince!
However, there were too many crossbows among the four, and the four guards could not hold on for long, and they began to fall at Liu Lang's feet one by one.
Seeing the guards who were protecting him fall down one by one, Liu Lang was filled with grief, anger and despair. But at this moment, he could not think of any way to escape from the dead end. It seemed that it would be his turn soon!
When the last guard fell in front of Liu Lang, for a moment, his entire body was exposed to the range of the crossbow.
At this moment, the four crossbows were aimed at Liu Lang, and they pulled the mechanism together. There was a "whoosh" sound, and the four crossbow arrows shot at Liu Lang's body at the same time.
The moment the crossbow was fired, Liu Lang's whole body was already cold. He closed his eyes in despair, and his heart was full of unwillingness. He didn't expect that he, who was determined to become a wise king, would die without doing anything...
.....
Just when he was desperate, Liu Lang suddenly felt a strong wind blowing from his head. He was startled and hurriedly opened his eyes. It was Chai Yan who fell from the sky and protected him in front of him with his body.
"Puff puff puff..."
After a series of muffled sounds, four crossbow arrows hit Chai Yan on the chest.
Chai Yan opened his arms and used his body as a cover for the prince while saying: "Your Highness, I am here to save you!"
Just as Liu Lang was about to speak, there was another burst of machine noise from the side of the four masked men, and then several more crossbow arrows flew and hit Chai Yan in the chest.
"Chai Yan, how are you..."
At this moment, Liu Lang was touched and surprised by Chai Yan's actions. He never expected that Chai Yan could actually protect himself with his body at the critical moment of life and death!
"Prince, don't worry, I won't die that easily!"
Chai Yan, who was hit by an arrow, still spoke with great energy.
The eyes of the four masked men couldn't help but show surprise. After being hit by eight crossbow arrows at such a close distance, this kid actually acted like nothing happened...
Could it be that he is made of iron?
"continue!"
One of the masked men shouted, and the four of them quickly pulled their crossbows again, and immediately another powerful shower of arrows flew towards Chai Yan and Liu Lang.
"Hide!" Chai Yan shouted, reminding Liu Lang to avoid carefully.
Liu Lang quickly bent down and hid behind Chai Yan. Then, he clearly heard the sound of a crossbow arrow hitting Chai Yan's body...
Liu Lang felt it very clearly. There were not just one or two arrows in Chai Yan's hand. Counting the eight arrows just now, there were now about twenty arrows.
How can one body withstand the fire of more than twenty crossbow arrows? Even a rough-skinned and thick-fleshed beast cannot withstand it!
But Chai Yan was like a miracle, standing motionless in front of Liu Lang, protecting his life.
The next moment, the sound of the machine gun disappeared, and the four masked men had fired their crossbows, and they were also dumbfounded.
Chai Yan's upper body, like the four fallen guards, was covered with crossbow arrows, but he was still alive and well.
"Your Highness, are you okay?" Chai Yan turned his head and asked Liu Lang behind him.
"Uh...it's okay to be alone..." Liu Lang's voice was a little painful.
Chai Yan quickly looked back and saw that a crossbow arrow was stuck in Liu Lang's thigh, and blood had stained a large area around the wound.
"Your Highness, are you okay?" Chai Yan asked hurriedly.
Liu Lang frowned, but he still endured the pain and shook his head: "Don't worry, I won't die for a while..."
"Your Highness, hold on, they have run out of arrows!" Chai Yan said, and began to pull out the crossbow arrows stuck in front of him one by one.
While Chai Yan pulled out the crossbow arrow and threw it at his feet, he said to the four masked assassins: "Don't you want the prince's life? Come on, let's go through my test first..."
However, the attention of the four masked assassins was on the crossbow arrow that Chai Yan threw away. It was obviously a hit, but why did he pull it out without any trace of blood?
"Why is this happening?"
The two masked men were shocked and confused, and couldn't help but look at their accomplices.
"Don't worry, let's go!"
The masked man at the head felt that the delay was too long, so he immediately gave the order to retreat.
The three of them did not hesitate after hearing the order. In just one breath, the four masked men holding crossbows exited the alley and disappeared from sight.
Chai Yan was greatly puzzled. If these four assassins were to attack together now, he would definitely be more concerned about his head than his body. The prince was injured again, so he would definitely die!
Strange, why did he run away?
Chai Yan couldn't understand and was too lazy to think about it. He turned around and helped Liu Lang sit on a pile of debris, and then started to check the wounds on Liu Lang's thigh...
Fortunately, the wound was not too deep, it did not hit an artery, and the bleeding was not serious.
Chai Yan did not dare to pull out the crossbow arrow rashly, but just tore off his clothes as a tourniquet to perform simple hemostasis on Liu Lang.
While tying the tourniquet, Chai Yan asked, "Your Highness, why did you bring so many people with you when you came out?"
Liu Lang looked at the four dead guards without saying a word, and just shook his head sadly. He blamed himself very much in his heart, regretting that his stubbornness had harmed them.
Originally, Xu Mao advised Liu Lang to bring more guards with him for protection, but Liu Lang felt that too many people would reveal his identity, which would hinder him from understanding the true sentiments of the people, so he only brought the four most capable guards.
.....
In fact, there weren't many people who went on patrol incognito in the past, but I didn't expect that they would encounter assassins this time!
After the tourniquet was tied, Chai Yan said: "Your Highness, these assassins use repeating crossbows, they must not be ordinary assassins!"
Liu Lang nodded: "Yes, the use of repeated crossbows by the people is prohibited. This matter will be investigated thoroughly! Revenge them!"
Immediately, Liu Lang asked: "By the way, Chai Yan, how are you? Are you injured?"
Chai Yan patted his chest and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, I'm fine..."
Seeing the surprised look on Liu Lang's face, Chai Yan added: "Because I am a man who has learned to wear a golden bell and an iron shirt, hehehehe!"
"Golden bell...iron cloth shirt?" Liu Lang was confused and didn't understand what he was talking about.
Chai Yan explained simply: "It's a hard skill that can make you invulnerable in a short period of time!"
"Oh? Is there such a powerful martial arts in the world?"
Liu Lang was very surprised. Out of curiosity, he quickly pulled Chai Yan to his side to check, not even caring about the injury on his thigh.
Sure enough, the twenty-odd crossbow arrows just pierced Chai Yan's clothes, but his body was not scratched at all.
