Chapter 256 - Turning the Peak

”Retreat!”

The frightening pressure came quickly and left quickly, outside Crescent City. With a deep shout, the soldiers who were still immersed in shock were awakened. All of a sudden, they abandoned their opponents and sprinted towards the west of the city along the city wall.

”Chase!”

Tang Xiong roared loudly as the warriors and soldiers of the Great Tang Empire chased after him one after another. However, he still ran back with a dark expression.

By the side of the broken carriage, over two hundred Martial Warriors s had already gathered in a tight circle. In this team, there was only one mission for this group of people, and that was to protect Tang Huan. No matter what happened around them, they were not allowed to leave.

Because of this, they didn't participate in the slaughter.

However, even though they did not take the initiative to participate, it did not mean that they could avoid it. At the same time the two squads clashed, quite a few Sha Long Empire warriors went around the interception in front of them and charged towards them. Although it was just a moment of confusion, they were able to stabilize themselves.

However, in that chaotic moment, the archer had launched his attack.

Within Martial Warriors, there were extremely few archers, and the higher the rank of Martial Warriors, the more so. To the Martial Warriors, being an Archer was not something that could be done with a bow and arrow. To be able to unleash a strong power from the bow and arrow, one needed a special method to match it, and it was extremely difficult to learn these techniques.

Therefore, among the high ranking Martial Warriors s, archers were even rarer.

Among all the Martial Lord s at the eighth step, the number of archers could be counted with one palm and the number of archers was slightly more among the Stage Seven Martial Master s. The archer hiding on the left side of the road was most likely the Stage Seven Martial Master. If such an expert were to shoot an arrow, the Stage Six Martial Master would not be able to block him.

Fortunately, the other carriage had Divine Weapon Pavilion s of the eighth step on it, so they were not too worried.

But who would have thought that there was actually a hidden ”Secluded Night Divine Palace” killer nearby, and that the killer was also a very powerful archer.

For Tang Huan to be able to use his own strength to block the first two arrows, could already be considered a miracle. Unfortunately, the miracle did not continue on and Tang Huan was still hit by the third arrow from the ”Secluded Night Divine Palace”.

After being hit by the Secluded Night Divine Palace's ”Specter Arrows”, not to mention a of the eighth step, not even a Stage Nine Martial Saint would be able to survive.

Tang Huan was only a Stage Six Martial Master, so his chances of survival were close to zero.

Amongst the crowd, Mu Kui clearly had the same thought as the warriors around him. Looking at Tang Huan who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his expression had already become extremely gloomy and there was uncontrollable rage between his brows.

The little girl had long slipped down from Tang Huan's back. She pursed her lips and sat opposite him with a tight face, thinking about something.

But as time passed, both the little girl and Mu Kui revealed looks of surprise.

From the moment Tang Huan had sat down, let alone ten breaths, even if it took twenty breaths of time, Tang Huan had not shown any signs of a backlash from the Genuine Qi at all.

In next to no time, the surrounding officers noticed this as well and couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.

”Haha, this old man understands!”

After a long while, Mu Kui seemed to have thought of something and jumped up, dancing and laughing like a child.

”Understand what?” A rough voice sounded. It was Tang Xiong who'd separated the surrounding officers and walked in.
