A night of cholera broke out, and the ancient city of Thunder was ablaze with smoke and smoke. Many buildings were turned into ruins in the war.
Fortunately, the city residents had experienced some storms and did not flee randomly in the chaos. Instead, they gathered together, which did not cause larger-scale chaos and also made it easier for the guards to hunt down the mercenaries.
It wasn't until dawn that the chaos gradually subsided, and the mercenaries were dying and running away.
Nangong Chenyi was very 'angry'. The mercenaries knew that Jin Yancheng's team was stationed here, but these mercenaries who did not care about life or death dared to come in unscrupulously to burn, kill and loot. This was a blatant provocation and did not protect them. Yancheng took it seriously.
Tu Wei was very irritable and patrolled everywhere suppressing his anger. The thing he was most worried about happened, and it happened under his nose. The ancient city of Thunder is very large, with city walls stretching for hundreds of miles. Many places were dilapidated and collapsed before coming here, and they have not had time to be fully repaired. The city is also dilapidated. Once mercenaries break in, they are likely to cause chaos. Unexpectedly, what was supposed to come came anyway, and completely ignored the intimidation of the Nangong family.
After daybreak, they discovered that there were many mercenaries operating in the wilderness outside the city. It seemed that they had tasted the sweetness and were preparing to take advantage of the situation at night.
Nangong Chenyi gathered everyone together and said with serious indignation: "We must find a way. These mercenaries are targeting the weak defense of the ancient city. If this group gets benefits, more mercenaries will be attracted."
Tu Wei looked ugly: "What do they want? Is there anything worthy of their interest in the ancient city now?"
"It should be the Huyan family's caravan that attracted them!"
"It's possible! They guessed that the caravan sent a lot of treasures."
Qin Ming didn't say a word, but looked at the Nangong family a few times, his eyes a little cold.
After a debate, they decided to transfer the protective force to the city defense as much as possible, and also asked the guards of the Huyan family to assist.
As for the city lord's mansion, there is no need to deploy too many people. Just station more troops to show off and make a show of force, and leave Niu Dahai to sit in charge. The mercenaries generally don't dare to break in.
Tu Wei noticed that Qin Ming's face looked ugly. "Master, are you going to the city gate or staying in the city mansion?"
"I'll stay at home, don't worry."
"I'll arrange more people."
"No need, with Senior Niu in charge, it should be fine."
Nangong Chenyi said solemnly: "In this special period, everyone works together! We must suppress those soldiers, otherwise there will be trouble in the future."
Throughout the day, the atmosphere in the city was tense. Citizens, both men and women, rushed to the city wall and blocked as many gaps as possible.
After night falls, there are many people in the wilderness. It seems that there are many mercenaries coming, scattered in different directions, eager to try.
The defenders of the ancient city stood ready and strengthened patrols in the city wall area, preparing for the battle.
There were many soldiers arranged around the city lord's mansion, but there were not many people inside. It was dark and quiet.
Li Lingdai was sitting in the room practicing. She was a warrior. She was still at the fifth level of the Earth Martial Realm in her heyday. However, when the Qingyun Sect punished the Qin family, she led the crowd to resist in anger and was severely injured and was crippled. The whole body has been cultivated. Over the years, I have been sad and exhausted, and I have no time to practice, and I have become like this old and weak.
Her practice now is like starting over, but with her foundation and good conditioning, she still has a chance to recover as soon as possible.
At midnight and early morning, in the dead of night, the city lord's palace was quiet, the ancient city was also quiet, and the mercenaries didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack.
In the back corner of the living room, the stone wall rippled like the surface of a lake. A face slowly penetrated the stone wall and stretched into the room. With cold eyes like a knife, he observed the room. After making sure there was no danger, he slowly walked in. The whole person walked in so incredibly, light and airy, like a ghost.
This is a short and thin man, with faint ripples all over his body, which is very strange. Every time his toes hit the ground, the ground would ripple, and the ripples on his body would ripple along with it, as if his whole body was integrated with the earth. He walked silently through the living room, passed through the stone wall between the living room and the bedroom, and came to the bedroom.
Li Lingdai opened her eyes in surprise: "Who are you? How did you get in?"
"Someone wants to see you!" The short man raised his hand towards Li Lingdai, ripples all over his body rippled violently, the surface of the stone wall in the entire room rippled, and a strange force emerged from Li Lingdai.
"Who sent you here?" Li Lingdai did not panic.
"You'll find out soon." The man held his right hand in the air, and all the ripples on the wall burst out, densely wrapped around Li Lingdai.
But at this moment, the closet next to him suddenly opened, and Ye Xiaoxiao came out with a cold eyebrow, charging with a golden gun, as fast as thunder, and violently attacked the man.
Anyone? The man's expression changed slightly, and all the ripples returned, tightly wrapping around his body. He blended with the stone slabs on the ground and retreated in an instant.
During the attack, Ye Xiaoxiao exerted all her strength and turned over sharply. The spear hit the ground hard with a dull buzzing sound. The tip of the spear penetrated the ground hard, and a terrifying energy poured into the ground. In the next moment, as Ye Xiaoxiao's Writhing, the gun body was pulled out forcefully, and the ground of the entire room exploded and flew.
The man spit out blood, forcibly pulled away from the ground, and quickly retreated: "Disappear in the air! Escape!"
But
No matter how fast he was, he couldn't go faster than Ye Xiaoxiao's golden gun. There was a muffled pop, but before the golden gun could reach him, the gun's light pierced his chest first, causing blood to fly. He leaned back violently as if struck by lightning, and the golden gun shot The gun followed closely, and with a bang, it really hit the chest, and the strong force pushed him hard against the wall.
"Wow!" The man spurted blood again, and his body rippled again, trying to melt into the wall and escape.
Ye Xiaoxiao's golden gun suddenly turned, and an extreme golden light exploded in his body, like thousands of golden threads bursting out, piercing his internal organs, killing him on the spot.
The man's eyes widened, the ripples all over his body gradually calmed down, and he knelt on the ground weakly, his head hanging down.
"Why kill him? He hasn't been interrogated yet." Li Lingdai ran over.
"I know him! The secret killer of the Nangong family - Jueying!" Ye Xiaoxiao frowned and slowly drew out the golden gun.
"Really the Nangong family?!" Li Lingdai was angry.
"Master, you guessed it right." Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the corpse on the ground, her eyes almost bursting with fire.
Outside the city, the mercenaries in the wilderness are actually the Jinyan City team in disguise. They really attacked last night, and today's mission is just a bluff to contain them.
The ancient city's defense force was very strong tonight, and they didn't dare to rush forward.
As the sky grew brighter, they retreated one after another.
The defenders in the ancient city all breathed a sigh of relief. It was so dangerous and they seemed to be calm.
The people in the city also breathed a sigh of relief, having been worried all night.
Everyone was relaxed, but Nangongchan was worried. Why did the assassin he sent disappear? Could he have encountered any accident? But she has clearly monitored Niu Dahai. Apart from him, there is no particularly strong person in the city.
Nangong Chan was waiting anxiously. If Jueying really encountered an accident, it meant that the Nangong family might be exposed. She came to the courtyard where the Qin family lived before it got light, and stood in the woodland to observe quietly. It was quiet, not much movement.
"What are you looking at?" A voice suddenly came out of the darkness next to him.
Nangong Chan looked over, and with the faint light, he could barely see the person walking there: "Qin Ming? Why are you here?"
Qin Ming walked towards Nangongchan with a smile on his face. "I also want to ask why you are here."
"I like to get up early and walk around casually." Nangong Chan chuckled, gentle, quiet, beautiful and elegant.
"I can't sleep either. Let's go out for a walk."
"What's on your mind?" Nangong Chan did not retreat, but met Qin Ming's eyes. Bright light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he quietly used the Soul Capturing Technique.
"Don't bother, it won't work for me." Qin Ming smiled and shook his head.
"What?"
"Your soul-obsessing technique is against me..." Qin Ming suddenly punched Nangong Chan in the lower abdomen. The force was as strong as a heavy hammer. Nangong Chan was defenseless and bent over violently, staggering back. , Qin Ming followed closely. When she bent over, he grabbed her neck, raised it in front of him, and said coldly: "It doesn't work!" Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
