Huh
Yang Qi looked at the location of the sedan chair and raised his brows slightly. In the sedan chair, he felt a slightly familiar breath, but the breath was a little weak, and he could not tell which cultivator from the Wuji Palace it belonged to.
"Is the city lord injured?"
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed. From his perception, the city lord was obviously seriously injured. But if he was injured, why would he still appear in the city? You know, the city lord's mansion is much safer than the city.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Just when Yang Qi was feeling strange about this, several figures flew out from the crowd and instantly rushed towards Hua Nian. The cultivation of these figures had all reached the high-level Martial Master level, and there were some nine-star Martial Master practitioners among them.
"Protect the city lord!"
Seeing this scene, the surrounding city guards reacted immediately and moved towards the location of the sedan chair.
Although the city guards' reaction was not slow, the killers were undoubtedly faster. Several high-level martial masters arrived in front of the sedan chair in an instant, and several fierce attacks that had been prepared for a long time immediately burst out from their hands and fell towards the sedan chair.
"This city lord has been waiting for you for a long time."
Almost at the same time when those attacks came towards the sedan chair, a loud shout suddenly came from inside the sedan chair, followed by a figure flying out directly from the sedan chair.
"It's him!"
Looking at the flying figure, Yang Qi was stunned at first, but then he realized that the other party was deliberately pretending to be injured in order to lure out these killers and catch them all in one fell swoop!
What Yang Qi didn't expect was that the cultivator in this Hua sedan was not only a cultivator from the Wuji Palace, but also Jiang Hong, whom he was very familiar with!
Facing the incoming attack, Jiang Hong crushed the protective treasure on his body without hesitation. A turquoise light protected him tightly. At the same time, a large number of Wu Zun realm city guards rushed out from the surrounding streets. It was obvious that Jiang Hong was well prepared.
Boom! Boom!
After several fierce attacks, the green light on Jiang Hong's body trembled slightly. That was a protective treasure at the level of Martial King, so naturally it was not something that a few high-level Martial Lords could break.
Jiang Hong looked at the assassins not far away and directly ordered the city guards who came over, "Capture them!"
“Damn it.”
The expressions of several killers looked a little ugly. They didn't seem to expect that Jiang Hong would set such a trap and deliberately lure them into it. Even if they wanted to break through at this moment, it would be quite difficult.
Seeing the city guards coming to attack, the three nine-star martial masters in the lead looked gloomy and shouted coldly, "Kill him, his protective treasure won't last long."
As the three nine-star martial masters charged towards Jiang Hong, several other high-level martial masters went forward to resist the oncoming city guards, buying enough time for the three.
Buzz~Buzz~
Almost in an instant, the three nine-star martial masters directly used their secret techniques. Their aura rose and the attacks in their hands poured directly towards Jiang Hong.
Boom! Boom!
Terrifying loud noises continued to emanate from the fight between the two sides. The practitioners on the street had already fled in all directions. This was a fight between powerful high-level martial masters. The practitioners with weaker strength could not withstand the residual power that was spreading.
Those weak practitioners scattered, but some practitioners in the Martial Honor Realm stayed nearby to watch the battle.
The middle-aged man looked at the two parties fighting not far away and said with emotion, "I didn't expect that the city lord would use a trick to lure the snake out of its hole. I'm afraid this assassination will fail."
Although the battle has just begun, this is Yi Yang City. In addition to the ambush arranged by Jiang Hong, other city guards will also arrive at the first time. Unless you are a cultivator at the King of Martial Arts level, you will be held back by the city guards and will surely die!
Yang Qi looked at the battle in the distance and shook his head slightly, "That may not be the case."
"Brother, you don't think they can succeed?" The middle-aged man looked at Yang Qi in disbelief.
This assassination was completely within Jiang Hong's calculations. In addition, Jiang Hong used the life-saving items at the King of Martial Arts level, so it was almost impossible for the other party to kill him.
"It's impossible for them to succeed." Yang Qi shook his head slightly and continued, "But since they dare to attack in the city, I'm afraid they have some backup plans."
"Uh~"
The middle-aged man was startled, then nodded and said, "That's true. These assassins have tried to assassinate the city lord many times. They are indeed not that easy to deal with."
The reason why Yang Qi dared to say that these killers still had a backup plan was because he sensed that in the area of the battle, there was an extremely hidden aura that reached the peak level of Wu Zun. Obviously, that was a practitioner at the peak of Wu Zun. The other party's method of hiding his aura was very sophisticated, and the practitioners at the Wu Zun level could not detect it at all. Moreover, the other party was, as expected, on the side of the killer.
After all, if this cultivator at the peak of Martial Honor was Jiang Hong's man, he could just help Jiang Hong directly. There was no need to hide his own aura. The only explanation was that the other party was also a killer!
Under the fierce attack of the three nine-star martial arts practitioners, the energy of Jiang Hong's protective treasure was rapidly consumed, but he was not worried at all, because the city guards who received his orders were rushing over at full speed and would soon be able to surround the place, so that none of these killers would be able to escape!
“Let’s fight!”
An old man who was a nine-star martial master had a gloomy face, and with a movement of his hand, a talisman was crushed. A blade light containing terrifying power instantly slashed towards Jiang Hong. The power contained in the blade light had clearly reached the level of a martial king!
"Stop it for me!"
Facing the oncoming sword light, Jiang Hong's face couldn't help but show a solemn look. He used all the power of the pseudo-Taoist soldier in his hand to resist the incoming attack with all his strength.
Boom!
The two fierce attacks collided with each other, accompanied by a loud bang, and an invisible force storm dissipated. Even the nearby buildings that were blessed by the formation were turned into dust and dissipated the moment they were affected by the residual power.
Jiang Hong flew out of the energy storm and laughed, "What other tricks do you have?"
Although he looked a little embarrassed, there was no sign of injury. After all, Jiang Hong was now a Nine-Star Martial Lord. His strength was definitely comparable to that of an ordinary Martial Lord peak practitioner. With the help of protective treasures, it was normal for him to block the attacks of Martial King-level attack treasures.
Whoosh~
Just as Jiang Hong's voice fell, a rapid sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from Jiang Hong's side.
"It's terrible."
Feeling the terrifying power contained in the incoming attack, Jiang Hong's face suddenly changed. The power contained in the attack had already reached the level of Half-Step Martial King, and it was so unexpected that he could not resist it at all.
"Damn it, they tricked me."
Jiang Hong smiled bitterly in his heart. He plotted against these assassins and set traps to catch them all in one fell swoop. But these assassins were also plotting against him. He could not avoid the attack! (To be continued)
