Chapter 266 (1/2)

At the edge of the broad central square, every ten meters, there stands a huge metal column with two people holding each other. The lower end is deeply embedded in the hard bluestone floor, and the upper half is straight to the sky. On both sides of the smooth column surface, there are a row of neat and orderly dark holes.

Lin Lichuan had no impression of these huge metal pillars in the previous square. He thought it was mostly his days of closed training in Manchus residence, so he turned to Yao Qian and asked in a low voice, ”what's that?”

Yao Qian looked at the huge metal pillars with dense eyes and replied in a low voice: ”That is the pillar of Li Guang. After it is started, it can condense the Li Guang barrier that can cover the whole central square. It is a positional extraordinary prop prepared to prevent accidents from being interrupted in the middle of the festival. With Li Guang barrier, even if there is chaos outside the square, it will not affect the ceremony in the square.”

”Does this column of Li Guang exist every year?”

”That's right.”

Hearing the speech, Lin Lichuan nodded slightly and became silent.

With the passage of time, more and more nobles arrived at the high platform, but the front seat was always empty. From the conversation of the surrounding people, Lin Lichuan vaguely heard that it seemed to be the position of Duke Morris.

......

Different from the crowded main street in front of the central square, the street on the other side is quite deserted. Except for the soldiers stationed, there are only occasional noble cars passing by.

This is a special road for the great nobles. Before dawn, soldiers of the Royal Legion came to clear the field and blocked the entrances and exits at both ends. Except for a few great nobles, others could not pass.

The low engine sound suddenly sounded from a distance.

Several cars appeared from the corner of the street and drove slowly.

In the middle of the motorcade is a low-key but luxurious black car. Through the translucent window, you can vaguely see a thin Eagle nose old man sitting in the back seat, which is the Duke of Morris.

Recognizing the origin of the convoy, the soldiers stationed on both sides of the street subconsciously straightened up.

However, as the motorcade reached the middle of the street, an accident broke out.

A gust of wind rolled up steeply and roared towards the motorcade with a low sound like thunder. It even blew the heavy vehicle upside down, and the front car was even blown over and upside down.

The people in the team reacted quickly. As soon as the strong wind rose, the black car in the middle suddenly stopped, followed by a milky halo on the body surface, expanded into a semi-circular hood, like an inverted bowl to firmly protect the car and block the raging strong wind.

After that, more than a dozen powerful men quickly opened the door, trained to rush out of the car and put on a defensive posture.

In this short moment, the surrounding void had been filled with sharp air breaking sounds, and countless sharp blades like knives emerged out of thin air, shooting at the big men like a storm.

In the face of the overwhelming wind blades, the big men looked dignified, but did not panic. They either pulled out weapons to defeat the wind blades, or used their powers to condense all kinds of shields to ward off. When the wind blades dissipated, the streets, ground and vehicles became devastated, but only a few of the big men were slightly injured and their combat power was almost intact.

”It is worthy of being the Maurice family, a great aristocrat inherited by the Empire for thousands of years. It has a deep heritage. The guards guarding the master of the family are all extraordinary people of the golden class. It's really a big deal!”

A strange voice suddenly sounded, and the people followed the prestige, and then they found that there was a tall, thin, narrow eyed, gloomy middle-aged man in front of the team.

Seeing the middle-aged man, the big men immediately separated half of them and killed them expressionless.

Seeing this, the tall and thin middle-aged hey ran sneered, but he didn't see any action. The void in front of him suddenly twisted, and countless thin filaments with a faint green meaning emerged out of thin air, interwoven to form a spiral wind roll, whistling and killing the big men head-on.

The leading men are burly and have a strong sense of strength between their movements. They are obviously horizontal practitioners specializing in body cultivation. When they see the spiral wind roll coming, they are strong in their own flesh. They even avoid or avoid hitting the wind roll directly, opening the way for their companions to fight for the opportunity to attack.

However, they soon found that they were wrong. At the moment of contact with the spiral wind roll, the faces of several big men changed greatly, but it was too late to retreat. With a numbing sound of bone and meat grinding, they were like being thrown into a rapidly rotating turbine blade, which was hard ground into blood and flesh in the blink of an eye.

This terrible scene immediately changed everyone present.

”Step back!”

A low drink exploded like thunder.

At the moment when the last word fell, a figure rushed out of the car protected by the hood and flashed in front of the people.

”The enemy is you, not this man's opponent. Go back and protect the Duke's safety.”

”Yes!”
