The assassin's head flipped back, onlyon upside down by that lonely and thin vertebraA blood red and disgusting throat faced the no longer snowing blue sky
Without time to take a breath, Fan Xian flipped his hand pulled up the long sword stuck into the snowy groundRising to his toes, he curled his body into a ball and retreated quickly backwardAfter he curled into a ball, the surface area of his body exposed to the air becarey-white Overwatch Council robes covered his entire body without any gaps
The crossbows rang out again and again, like the austere killings on West Lake, but very few landed around Fan Xian's bodyHis movements were truly too quickEven fast crossboere unable to hit him accurately
Occasionally, a few bolts landed, but none were able to pierce through
Fan Xian swept to a position above the city-guarding crossbowsMobilizing the remnants of the Tyrannical zhenqi in his body, he turned his hand and flipped theiant city-guarding crossbows rolled in the air and s crossbows to the side
In this short a a strike on the spring locks of the crossbow mechanism while it was still in the airThe mechanism was still nocked and stretched to its li Qinian had sent from so far aas indeed a treasured blade rarely seenThe blade passed through, and the spring lock snapped without further reason
All around theed toward Fan Xian but had forgotten the proble crossbows
A series of heart-stopping creaks rang out from the top of the snowycrossbows sether and immediately tilted in a different directionWhile one of the bowstrings had already been snapped by Fan Xian, the co time finally shot out
But, it wasn't airound
The powerful reboundcrossbow juht of a personThey directly ca to kill Fan Xian
After being run over, all that was left was a patch of blurry blood and flesh, broken ar crossbows that were ss and s, they firedThe crossbow bolts flew out randohts flashed byOne bolt landed on a young treeHow could the trunk of the tree endure such a powerful force? The bark flew off, and the hard wood split open like tofuA large hole appeared in thethis, it broke from this point in the tree and crashed down
Fresh blood followed the terrifying bolt and flowed onto the groundThe three killers, who had been skewered into a meat skewer but were not dead yet, moaned continuously
The scene was chaotic for a tiain secretly entered the snooodsHiding in the tree branches, he breathed heavily and was careful to not let the fresh blood on his back fall down from the trees and startle those killers
The other party had crossbowsIf, at this roup of crossbowmen surrounded the heavily injured Fan Xian, even he wasn't sure he would be able to survive
His task was already completeThe denseness of the crossbow bolts in the snooods had decreased greatly, and the three leaders were already deadThis further made these ambushers feel a chill in their hearts and panickedThere was no one giving orders, and they no longer had the backing of the three city-guarding crossbowsThe pressure on the black carriages in the valley ireatly
Fan Xia hid in the trees and listened to the moveotten there ahead of him and disturbed the camp on the top of that mountainThe hearts of the ambushers were unsettledThe assassins of the Sixth Bureau of the Overwatch Council finally had a chance to demonstrate their abilities
Naturally, the people of the Overwatch Council knehen an opportunity had comeThey didn't need to wait for the orders of a leaderThey had already charged out of the carriagesPulling out the black ha the now sparse rain of bolts, they silently and sinisterly entered the woods
In the carriages, they had turned their black official robes inside outLike grey-white spirits, they entered the snooods and began to use their er to kill every life in the woods at all costs
A long-planned aht had finally, under Fan Xian and the Shadow's, these two aces', desperate attacks, becoe massacre in the woods
There was no one in this world ere better than the assassins of the Sixth Bureau of the Overwatch Council at killingEven the ardoe assassination battle, were still not a e silence in the snooods, occasionally a crossboould soundOccasionally there would be the sounds of steps in the snow, the sound ofthe abdomen, or a wretched cry
Fan Xian knew that his subordinates had already taken the definite advantageThe revengeful slaughter was being carried out hlyFor the 200 archers who had a the Overwatch Council suffer heavy casualties and injuries, it would be i been strung up finally relaxed
…
…
No survivors, just has Fan Xian had expectedThe swordsmen of the Sixth Bureau had attacked ruthlessly and not left a single survivorOf course, this was not just because the Sixth Bureau had attacked ruthlesslyWhen the battle was about to end, the re archers had uniforround and looked coldly at these 20 odd bodiesLooking at the expression on their faces, he found that showed no sorrow or fearThere was only deterdom was indeed the most powerful martial force in the worldIf this kind of discipline and bravery were placed on the battlefield, how terrifying that poould be
There were 30 Overwatch Council officials in the black carriages in the valleyIn the end, only about 20 people were able to enter the snooodsJust these 20 people ed to kill over a hundred archers
In the woods on the two sides of the valley, behind those quiet and dark rocks and trees, there should be a number of bodies whose blood had already frozen solid
Fan Xian's ehed up so his body, he looked at the bloody person on the ground
He was covered in bloodOne eyeball had been punctured by a dagger and looked as ugly as a deflated wineskinHis two arms had been neatly brokenHis left hand was a bloody hole, and his right hand had been snapped by the Tyrannical zhenqi
This was one of three aces from earlier, the one that had attacked Fan Xian from the back who had held onto him without fear even as he was about to dieUnexpected, in the end, he was the only one of the killers who had survived
Fan Xian walked to his side and slowly raised his footStepping on the person's face, he stepped a few times to make him wake up
The bloody person slookeHis spiritless eyes swept around and saw the Overwatch Council secret agents around Fan Xian, as well as the bodies of his brothers scattered through the woodsAfter a wave of sorrow, he recovered his resolutionSuddenly, a pitiful expression appeared in his eyes, resisting the pain, he said in a tre to do anything…”
There ca
Fan Xian's hand shot out like lightning and stuck his finger into the man's mouthWith a wrench, the man's chin was bloodily forced open a notch, unable to fully close again, a few teeth even came out with it
Fan Xian stretched out his hand and wiped away the blood on the snow beside hi suicideYou are still useful to one and you cannot close your h death?”
”Help hiave the order to his subordinates beside himHe then sloalked toward the valley at the bottohed blood, and blood flowed down his back
Hong Changqing followed behind himHe wanted to help hold hiqing's luck was not badHe had not died today under the rain of crossbow boltsOnly his left shoulder had received a light injury
However, the other people in the Overwatch Council did not have such good luckOf the 30 people who had followed Fan Xian back to the capital, al ones had all been injured and were very weak
All the way to the valley, the Overwatch Council officials along the way slightly inclined their bodies in greetingThis was a show of respect to the Commissioner from the depths of their heartsEveryone kneithout the Commissioner's fearless secret attack, every one of the Overwatch Council officials would probably have died in the valley
Gradually, the Overwatch Council officials gathered behind Fan XianDragging the only survivor, they returned to the valley, to the side of those broken carriages
…
…
Fan Xian crouched down beside his overturned carriageHis finger pulled at the shattered shaft and occasionally slanted a glance at the dead coacheHis expression was calHe also refused the requests of his Overwatch Council subordinates to treat his wounds
Why? What was all this for?
The valley was covered with the bodies of provincial soldiersWhich faction was so daring as to carry out an adou? Who had the power to mobilize socrossbows here?
The city-guarding crossboere the second point of suspicion in this incidentThe killers needed tireat deal of noiseWhy did the Jingdou garrison, ere responsible for the safety of the areas around Jingdou, not notice anything?
However, what most chilled Fan Xian's heart was how could the other party have calculated the tizhou to Weizhou, he had created a diversionHe had the Jiangnan water bandits put out a fake ruht aheadIf they wanted to kill hidou for too longHow could they have calculated the ti was that even though they were closer to Jingdou, Fan Xian had never let down his guardEvery 3 li he would send out a scoutWhy had the first scout reported that everything was as normal? Did the scout not discover the unusualness in the valley? Until the Shadoarned hied into Fan Xian's mindThere was one set of questions in particular that made his entire body run cold
Today's situation had been co Temple
