”Kill!”
The cry to kill rang out froed toward Fan Xian, as standing in the centerThe wave of people advancedIt was like a riverin all directionsThe sound of sharp blades slicing through flesh ran out in people's earsThe four people in the lead fell down like wooden blocks
They fell holding their throats as fresh blood endlessly poured out
A black dagger had appeared in Fan Xian's handThere were a few drops of dark blood on the lightless blade
The killing of a few people was not enough to push back everyone's attackThere was not even a pause in the soldiers' attacksOnce again, they flowed over Fan Xian

The wave of people paused
Taking this opportunity, Fan Xianpeople along the wayLike a shadow and the wind, he stuck close to the people's bodies as he passedHe occasionally stretched out an evil palers, armpits, and other weak spots
With each stroke, there was a wretched screaain
In a split second, Fan Xian chose a little trick that best conserved his energy and didn't drain too e of people, such action was the er attempted to make the soldier next to him fallHe wanted toa leap tree and covering hi beastIn the dusk, he headed toward the rear of the circle surrounding hianized the attack watchedA glih his eyes
He had never thought that there was someone in this world that could turn theaze of a thousand watching eyes and through a group of people that wanted to kill them, leave behind only a trail of blood and take away vivid livesYet, he appeared to do so easily and casuallyIt was like passing through a bush of tens of thousands of floithout a single leaf sticking
There was not even an injury on Fan Xian's body, yet he had already killed and hurt over 20 peopleHe had ed to move forward 30 eneral watched as the disturbance moved further and further away frohtlyIn a raspy voice, he yelled, ”Capture the cri outIn such a chaotic environment, it actually appeared very weak, but it was still particularly terrifying
As he entlyintiht hand suddenly paused theout
His ears had accurately caught a faht hand to pauseHe plunged it into the chest of a covering bailiff leaping toward hidou, crossboere strictly prohibited, except for the Overwatch Council, which had received special per this noise, Fan Xian knew that the Eldest Princess' side had already, through either the Qin or Ye fadouHe didn't have tiuardsHe unconsciously felt an icy chillThe dangers of the attack in the valley had left too deep an ihts happened in an instantIn the nextstones with a boo stone crackedThe corners shot out toward the bodies of the soldiers leaping toward hih the encirclement, it appeared to be relaxed and easyIn reality, it contained unusual speed and power and precise controlHe needed this powerful stoh speed

The soldiers, who had been following hi wave the entire time, didn't keep up in this instantVery wretchedly, they continued to fall forward and left a meter of empty space in front of hih the air ran out, disappeared, and entered the dirtThe area by Fan Xian's foot see a dozen sinister and terrifying crossbow boltsThey alht hand reer was sent flying forith the sudden decrease in speedThe fleshy body slid through the black daggerWith a tearing sound, it split open half the body before landing heavily on the ground, sending up a spray of blood
The soldiers behind Fan Xian could not pull back their feetThey charged straight into his suddenly still body
He turned his elbow back
Thein the dusky colors that enveloped the skyIt drew countless shocking arcs through the sky
Before the next round of crossbow bolts arrived, Fan Xian glanced at the general in the distance at the head of the alleywayHe rose to his toes and, out of everyone's expectations, followed the two ”shattered shadows” that he had sent flying toward the sky above the other end of the alley
The general felt Fan Xian's icy gaze froritted his teeth and ruthlessly said, ”Wolf CaoDon't let him escape”
In the air, shattered flesh and bone fell on the ground with slapping sounds
Ih the air as a dozen aces froave chase to Fan Xian, as running across the residential eaves not far in the distanceIn a dou Government and Ministry of Justice also led round to continue giving chase

The corners of her lips tilted slightlyShe said in a quiet voice, ”I only want Fan Xian deadYou don't need to worry about the Overwatch Council”
”Yes, Your Highness” The eunuch bowed respectfully and then raised his headIt was one of the Qing Emperor's trusted eunuchs, Eunuch Hou, as the same rank as Eunuch Yao
The Eldest Princess looked at Eunuch Hou's face with a slight smile and said, ”The fire you lit in the Eastern Palace was very goodI want to see hoell you do with this last fire in Jingdou”
