Chapter 234 (1/2)

With a sound louder than a sundered gong, the steel between the wood boards was finally broken by the strongand the soldiers of the Brocade Guard in the council chamber were silent

The door collapsed The well-prepared Brocade Guard, equipped with their small crossbows, let loose a hail of bolts in quick response

The strong ht arm was one that displayed countless past wounds His true strength had already been fully drained and, looking at the bolts bearing down upon hi the whiz of the onco bolts, they struck his wide body; one in particular pierced his eye With a squelch, criore projected from the socket

”Ah!” The e of bolts, he moved toward the courtyard With each heavy step, blood squirted from his wounds

After his third step, he tumbled down upon the slate floor like a mountain, in a plume of dust His blood was everywhere This made the Brocade Guard step back a few steps too

The strong man’s dead body was extremely wide, so it shi+elded the others fromhis body as protection, Tan Wu and a few of the elites that re man fell down near the Brocade Guard, they had drawn near to their eneh wall had moved to the courtyard A dozen of the black-clothed ers, of which only a few existed within the capital, had killed and mutilated over 20 of the Brocade Guard with extreh their numbers were lesser than their eneht

The scene was coe shark in the deep sea as it ripped, tore and fed on schools of s eaten by the sharks, coloring the sea battle red It wouldn’t be long before they were all consuer His adoptive father was still in the courtyard Tan Wu gestured with his right hand for the reatest warriors to lead the way forward and begin the killing

Even though they had lost three men, the Brocade Guard felt no relief A of swords, the occasional squirt of blood would be seen, followed by the writhing of a fallen coh the heart

High above, in a tall tree, Fan Xian cals were never this siyun had already been approved by Master Sheng Shang Shanhu and Xinyang both believed this plan of assault was one of great divination; therefore, Yan Bingyun was sure to knoas behind the Brocade Guard

Tan Wu also believed things weren't as sile scream erupted, the sort that would be let out by a fallen soldier It was a warning The three –black-clothed warriors ere first to enter the building were knocked back They flew through the air back into the courtyard drenched in blood It was hard to iine that the Brocade Guard were the ones inside the tower, for the average soldier did not possess such power Inside were the Brocade Guard's elite

Tan Wu’s face did not change Quickly launching himself into the air with a leap taken from the tip of his toes, he brutally beat down his chosen opponent three times And to coincide with each hit, three distinct, audible pounds rang out

”I did not expect you to be here to defend this place, Vice-provost Xiao” As Tan Wu looked upon this green-clad person with an unconcerned expression, he recognized him as one of the Brocade Guard’s , vice-provost of the Discipline Commission, had deep eyes that shone with the fire of life Coldly, he looked upon Tan Wu and said, ”E and, as such, I have arrived here to defend this place To look at ill be able to free the prisoner!”

The vice-provost’s mannerisms painted him as a supremely confident and forhed twice; specks of blood followed He knew the foe before him was not an opponent he could take on with assured victory Even so, he felt no fear With squinted eyes, Tan Wu peered intently toward the back of the courtyard

Fan Xian, still perched within the tall tree, no longer paid attention to the battle Instead, he atching a trolley placed against a stone wall at back of the courtyard It was an incredibly strong structure

Xiao Yuanbing, the vice-provost, could just about discern a faint hissing noise With skewed eyebrows, as Tan Wu rushed forward, he knocked hiaze toward the courtyard as well

Fan Xian, with great care, repositioned his stance in a manner that would allow hi in the direction of the trolley, heroar struck terror into everybody in the surrounding area How the trolley exploded, nobody knew It was like one giant lightning strike, and a hole reat stone wall in the back of the yard

Rubble and stones of great proportion were propelled through the air At the moment of the explosion, the flames eviscerated thirty soldiers of the Brocade Guard ere in hiding there

This was the greatest gift the Overwatch Council had ever bestowed upon Shang Shanhu The trolley full of explosives – the work of the Third Bureau – had finally been given a purpose Of course, the use of these explosives was Fan Xian’s suggestion, but the aiven to them by the Third Bureau exceeded their expectations The explosion was of such htened for the safety of Xiao En on the other side
