356 The court Assembly (2)

“Why aren’t you running?” The assassin in the bronze skin and iron bone realm asked.

His voice was hoarse and he had disguised it.

“I can’t run away, so I’m planning to kill you here.” Xu Qi ‘an narrowed his eyes. He was very satisfied with the width of the alley, which could only allow one person to pass.

One slash. He only had one chance.

The expert in the bronze skin and iron bones realm frowned. He focused his senses on his surroundings, but he did not catch the footsteps of the night watchman or the patrolling soldiers.

However, Xu Qi ‘an’s confidence made him instinctively alert.

Was he bluffing?

At this moment, he saw the copper Gong, who had just entered the spirit-forging stage, slowly put his right hand on the hilt of his saber.

Focusing on one point, one could reach the peak.

All his emotions fell back and all his QI activities were restrained, just like when a tsunami came, the sea water would ebb first.

At this moment, the three Men in Black were on high alert. Their intuition from the spirit-forging stage told them:Danger, danger, danger ...

Without any hesitation, they followed the instinct of a warrior and decided to leave the alley. However, at this moment, a deafening roar that shook the mind was heard.

The consciousness of the three people fell into a moment of chaos, and they lost control of their bodies.

Immediately after, they heard a clear sound like a Dragon’s Roar as it was unsheathed.

The assassin in the copper skin and iron bone realm was the first to break free from the lion’s roar. He immediately saw a thin blade light coming at him.

He only had time to cross his arms, gather his Qi and muscles, and resist with his indestructible body.

......... historical

“Pa da.”

A Qi refining stage copper Gong walked quickly on the roof, following the traces of destruction all the way to the alley.

He leaned over and looked into the alley. He saw four people confronting each other. Three Men in Black stood still. Opposite them, Xu Qi ‘an, who was holding a knife, was gasping for breath. He was sweating profusely, and steam was rising from the back of his head.

“Here!”

Tong Gong shouted. He held a knife in one hand and a military crossbow in the other. He jumped into the alley and stood beside Xu Qi ‘an.

The two copper gongs from the neighboring houses rushed over and entered the alley.

“Lord Xu, are you alright?”

The three-man patrol team greeted them with concern. They sensed for a moment and didn’t hear the heartbeats of the three Men in Black, so they judged that the assassins had already died.

“I’m just a little injured, it’s nothing.”

Xu Qi ‘an was panting. Before his three colleagues arrived, he had already taken a great strength pill and was slowly recovering his strength. But if he wanted to walk again, he still had to rest for another 15 minutes.

The blade given by Jian Zheng was a perfect match for the heaven and earth One blade beheading.

The three copper gongs nodded slowly and looked at the man in Black. To be able to force Lord Xu, who had just entered the spirit forging stage, into such a sorry state, one of them must be in the spirit forging stage.

At this moment, noisy and muffled footsteps could be heard. A group of 50 Imperial saber guards had arrived.

“Lord Xu, please return to the Yamen to recuperate. Leave these three to us,”

Tong Gong, who was speaking, walked out of the alley and ordered the Imperial Sword guards who had rushed over, “”Escort Lord Xu back to the Yamen, and leave ten men behind to help me deal with the body.”

“Yes,” the leader of the Royal sword guards cupped his fists.

After Xu Qi ‘an left, the three copper gongs returned to the alley. When they touched the body, the Man in Black, who had been standing still, suddenly broke into two halves. His upper body and lower body were separated, and a slanted wound appeared on his waist, parallel to the incision.

All kinds of internal organs mixed with blood flowed on the ground.

The gongs frowned, somewhat disdainful and somewhat surprised.

I remember that Xu ningyan’s ultimate technique was some kind of extremely powerful saber technique. Back then, he was able to injure the Vermillion silver Gong with a single Saber Strike.

“Yeah, it looks like it’s more powerful now. This blade killed three people, and one of them must be in the spirit-forging stage.”

The three of them looked at the man in Black at the front. It was obvious that he was the strongest of the three.

“Eh, why doesn’t he have a weapon?”

The other two men in Black were equipped with a standard long knife and a military crossbow. Only this Man in Black was empty-handed, without any weapons.

Was it picked up by Xu ningyan?

With suspicion, they examined the body of the Man in Black by themselves. When their fingers touched the body, they felt a metallic texture.

The corpse was still in the state it was in when it was channeling its energy.

“What?”

A series of question marks appeared in the minds of the three people at the same time.

After a few seconds, they finally reacted, and their hearts were filled with an absurd and horrified emotion.

“Copper, copper skin and iron bones ...” A copper Gong muttered.

.......

Half an hour later, the night watchman arrived at the Yamen.

Divine sword Hall.

After Zhang Kaitai, who was on duty tonight, received the news, he gathered all the silver gongs to discuss the assassination of Xu Qi ‘an.

Yin Luo, who had just led a team to survey the scene, reported, “”From the assassination to the killing of the enemy, the whole process took less than half a quarter of an hour. The three assassins seemed to have known Xu ningyan’s route and had laid an ambush on the road.

...

after a short confrontation, they chased Xu ningyan into an alley and were killed with a single strike.

Zhang Kaitai nodded and looked at the other Yin Gong. He was in charge of examining the corpse.

“The assassins use the most common long saber,” the silver Gong said in a deep voice.”The three great imperial army camps and the five great imperial City guards all use this kind of saber. Even the guards of some nobles and ministers used this. We can’t find any clues from the weapon.

“In addition, we found a magic weapon, a military crossbow, on one of the assassins. It’s a military crossbow that can pose a threat to those in the spirit-refinement realm. However, this still wasn’t a breakthrough.

“The situation of the Bureau of works and Bureau of military personnel embezzling is very serious, and it is also very common for the princes and ministers to privately buy and sell military supplies. Over the years, countless magical artifacts and armaments have been sent out. He couldn’t find out at all.
