Chapter 83 (1/2)
An Zeng sat there without getting up, his left hand reaching
out to catch a crossbow arrow that was shooting over. He casually tossed the crossbow arrow to the side, then flipped the table
over and placed it in front of Li Yenian.
””Who did you offend?””
Anjou asked.
Li Yenian shook his head in fear. He was so scared
that he couldn't even say a word.
After listening for a while, An Zhan lowered his voice and said, ””There are at least a dozen
people outside, their footsteps are scattered. This shows that they don't have a tacit understanding with each other, so they
shouldn't be from the military.””
He reached out and grabbed Li Yenian, throwing him up onto the rafters. Fortunately, he didn't
react too slowly. He held onto the ceiling beam tightly and didn't let go.
Anjou stood on the side of the door, his back against
the jamb. After a while, the door was kicked open with a kick. Immediately after, someone rushed in. An Zou reached out and
grabbed the clothes of the first person. Then, he cut the person's throat with his palm, and the person then fell limply to the
ground. Anjou picked up the crossbow and aimed it at the candle flame. The bolt shot out and put out the candle flame.
Someone
rushed in from the back, cautiously inspecting the room in the dark.
An Zeng stood at the entrance and counted the number. There
were a total of six people who had entered, and there were at least six or seven more who were on guard outside.
To actually
dispatch so many people to kill him in a bridegroom who did not know any better about cultivation and was the host of the Rites
Department, the Department for Purging Officials … this was simply not aimed at killing a person, but at exterminating the
entire clan.
When no one came in from the outside, An Zizheng killed a masked man with one palm strike from behind like a ghost.
Reaching out, he took out the short sabre from around the waist of the fallen person. The sabre flashed in the room, and in a few
moments, the people who entered the room were hacked to the ground one after another.
The people outside hadn't thought that
there would be an expert in the room, so they panicked. An Zeng picked up a crossbow and looked at it, then fired a few shots
outside. Four or five men in black immediately fell to the ground after being hit by the arrows. All of them were stabbed in the
throat with terrifying accuracy.
””An expert.””
The people outside murmured, obviously not wanting to alarm the neighbors around.
There were not many people left in the yard, but these people did not seem to have any intention of retreating. The few people
holding the crossbows began to retreat, then suddenly, An Zhe saw a large group of black shadows smas.h.i.+ng towards the house.
An
Zhe subconsciously moved his arms in front of his body to block the attack, and quickly retreated. In an instant, he gathered all
the power in his cultivation.
But nothing happened.
When An Zeng felt that something was wrong, a sharp pain came from his back.
An Zeng's body involuntarily flew forward, smas.h.i.+ng the window in front of him into pieces. In the air, several knives were
s.h.i.+ning brightly in the moonlight. He grabbed one of them and grabbed it. With the help of the man's weight and strength, he
firmly landed on the ground. When he landed on the ground, his wrist vibrated and the longsword shattered. An Xuan thrust his
palm forward, and under the force of the impact, the fragments of the blade flew out, killing four or five men in black clothes
in front of him.
The door creaked open and a man came slowly out of the room.
””You're not Li Yenian.””
This person's voice and
body were very strange.
An Zhan examined it carefully for a while before asking, ””Demonic beast?””
The man shook his head.
””Spirit beast?””
The man shook his head again.
An Zhan took a deep breath. ””So it turns out to be the most difficult magical
beast to deal with.””
The man's hair was dishevelled, and when he lifted his head to look at An Zhe, An Zhe saw that he was
wearing a metal mask. There weren't even any nostrils, but there were two holes in his eyes. There were two b.a.l.l.s of red light in
the hole. They were weak, but it was very dazzling.
This person wore a wide black robe, but under the black robe, one could
faintly see the metallic moonlight.
Whether it was Demonic Beasts, Essences Beasts or Demonic Beasts, they could only be
cultivated to a human form after reaching the high-grade Purple rank. Therefore, when An Zaiyue asked this question, he was
actually a little uneasy in his heart. An Zhe knew that something that could transform into a human form was absolutely not his
match with his current cultivation level. However, when he saw the metallic armour, he knew what was going on. Demonic beasts
were all kinds of wild beasts that had cultivated to become demonic beasts, while magical beasts possessed all sorts of auras.
Since it was Qi, there was no fixed shape. The reason why this guy was able to take human form was because he wore a set of metal
armor. If the armor broke, it would become a stream of energy.
””Where is Li Yenian?””
the man asked.
””Why did you kill Li
Yinian?””
The strange metal man was silent for a moment, then he walked towards An Zaihai and said, ””If we can't find him, we
can arrest you and interrogate you. We can also find out where Li Yinian went.””
If he used the bronze bell, it would cause
unnecessary trouble. The sound of the bell alerted all the experts in the capital. He did not have the strength to protect this
level of magic equipment, so he could not use it for the time being. Upon thinking of this, An Zhe flicked his wrist and took out
the Red Luan hairpin. If one wasn't at a certain level of cultivation, they wouldn't be able to use a purple grade divine
artifact. Therefore, this Red Luan hairpin was a peerless weapon in An Zhe's hands.
””You want to resist.””
The strange metal
man's voice also felt like metal rubbing against metal, making people feel uncomfortable. He moved forward, then raised his arm
to point at Anjou. ””Resist will die.””
After he finished speaking, a gust of black Qi suddenly spurted out from the wide sleeve
of his robe. Wherever the black Qi went, the gra.s.s withered, the tree trunk withered, and the corpse on the ground turned into
pus.
An Zhe frowned. This magical beast was originally a type of poisonous gas, but there were many different types of poison
gas, so there was no way to distinguish them. If only Qu Liuxi was by his side, she had a thorough knowledge of poisons.
