Joy of Life: Rebirth of the Second Prince, Inviting Emperor Qing to Die

Chapter 354: The Power of the Ninth-Rank Archer

On the roof of the harem.

Yan Xiaoyi and Xie Bian stopped several hundred meters away respectively.

Originally, the task he received today was to protect the harem, because His Majesty told him that when the enthronement ceremony was held, a group of assassins would enter the palace and might very likely harm the concubines and women in the harem.

Therefore, Yan Xiaoyi took tens of thousands of imperial guards and began to set up many deployments around the harem.

As long as the assassins dare to come over, no matter who they are, they will be severely injured.

As a result, he waited for a long time, and there was news of the assassins fighting near the Tai Chi Hall, but there was no movement here.

Yan Xiaoyi was naturally anxious.

As the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, his mission is to protect the safety of the palace. Now that there are assassins coming in and out, he cannot go in to fight.

This feeling is like something stuck in my throat that I can't feel relieved until I get it out.

In the end, he still didn't get any news, so he had to wait patiently again.

However, when Yan Xiaoyi finally got the news, he found out that His Majesty had been killed, several houses in the palace collapsed, and hundreds of people died.

The most important thing is that all the assassins escaped.

That's right, from the beginning to the end, no assassin was left behind.

This is definitely not easy.

Now everyone in the entire palace is starting to look for the assassin, and Yan Xiaoyi is no exception.

Just as he was searching on the roof of the harem, he actually found a fish that had escaped the net.

Yan Xiaoyi held the bow in his right hand, and gently stroked the hilt of the sword at his waist with his left hand. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Xie Bian in front of him.

"If I'm not mistaken, your strength should also be ninth rank."

"In that case, I advise you to surrender, because if you resist, the only outcome will be death!"

Xie Bian chuckled and said, "Oh, we don't know who will live and who will die yet."

"You're still stubborn!" Yan Xiaoyi's face changed slightly and he immediately became serious.

next moment.

He immediately took out a long arrow, put it on the giant bow, and began to aim forward.

Xie Bian leaned his body, then twisted half a circle, holding the scabbard with his left hand and stroking the hilt with his right hand, making a gesture as if to draw the sword.

Although he had not fought with Yan Xiaoyi.

However, I have heard rumors about Yan Xiaoyi.

A sharpshooter above the ninth rank has the power of a grandmaster, and the arrows he shoots are extremely powerful.

It is said that people at the same level as him would never be able to catch his violent arrow.

However, Xie Bian did not back down.

The "Bixie Sword Manual" that he practiced was also a sword manual with extremely strong lethality. After it was practiced to perfection, it was still extremely powerful.

Moreover, it can also increase his own speed, which is simply icing on the cake.

Therefore, Xie Bian also believed that he would not be afraid of any opponent below the level of Grand Master.

Except for that freak Xiang Yu!

At this time, Yan Xiaoyi drew his bow and arrow, looked at Xie Bian in front of him, and not only did he not run away immediately, but he made a gesture ready to attack.

It seems that he is not stupid and knows that if he runs away now, he will just become a sitting duck.

"Ha!" Yan Xiaoyi smiled and said, "You are quite smart. You know that running away now will only lead to death."

"but……"

As Yan Xiaoyi spoke, he pulled the bowstring in his hand to the full extent, and the true energy in his body began to radiate continuously.

"If you stay, you will die too!"

There was a ‘pop’ sound.

Yan Xiaoyi loosened the bowstring in his hand, making a crisp sound.

And that long arrow, carrying traces of true energy, cut through the air and rushed forward.

Just when the arrow was about to hit Xie Bian, he suddenly drew his sword and attacked!

Xie Bian drew out the long sword in his hand and immediately slashed forward with a sword energy, smashing the oncoming arrow.

Then, he put some force on his feet and rushed forward like a cannonball. Xie Bian knew that Yan Xiaoyi was best at archery, so if he wanted to defeat him, he had to get close.

At this time, Yan Xiaoyi was also shocked when he saw the long arrow he had just shot being shattered by Xie Bian.

Was that... sword energy just now?

It was actually sword energy!
It's incredible that a ninth-grade master can also emit sword energy.

After all, in Yan Xiaoyi's understanding, only when one's cultivation reaches the level of a grandmaster can one unleash sword energy.

He had never seen anyone who was not a grandmaster being able to use sword energy to hurt others.

No, I haven't even heard of it.

This completely broke Yan Xiaoyi's perception.

However, when he saw Xie Bian rushing towards him with a sword in hand, he turned around again, quickly pulled out his arrows, and shot them out one by one.

Immediately afterwards, his body retreated backwards and appeared again several hundred meters away.

"Humph!"

"You want to get close to me, do you think you can beat me?"

"wishful thinking!"

Having said that, he still stepped back and put some distance between them.

A true master will never expose his weaknesses to the enemy.

Yan Xiaoyi knew that the opponent's swordsmanship was very strong, so he didn't waste any more time and continued to draw arrows and shoot.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

One after another, long arrows rushed forward, accompanied by gusts of wind.

However, when Xie Bian's body had just rushed halfway, he was forced back by the attack.

He originally thought that he could use his speed advantage to shorten the distance between the two men and end the battle quickly.

However, Yan Xiaoyi had obviously discovered his intention, so he distanced himself again and started shooting arrows from a distance.

After Xie Bian stopped on the spot, he quickly swung out the sword in his hand.

The long sword drew several sword shadows in front of him, repelling all the oncoming attacks.

However, each long arrow shot by Yan Xiaoyi contained a small amount of true energy, and the key was that the speed and power were extremely strong.

If you only need to block three or four of them, then it will be very easy and not a problem at all.

But the more long arrows you block, the more your body can't bear it, and if you are not careful, you will most likely be hit.

If I continue to stay here, it is only a matter of time before I get beaten or stabbed to death by an arrow.

No, we have to find a way to leave quickly!

the other side.

Just now, at the agreed location where Xiang Yu, Yanri, Fan Wujiu, Li Cunxiao and others had agreed to meet, several figures appeared again.

Fan Wujiu asked, “Huh?”

“Who didn’t come?”

Everyone looked around, and Li Cunxiao said, "It seems to be Yanri and Xie Bian, they are the only ones not here."

Fan Wujiu asked: "What's going on?"

"Logically speaking, there should be only one person who can find His Highness's whereabouts. Since two people didn't come, it can only mean that one of them has met with an accident."

Everyone also thought it was very likely.

"Now what?"

Fan Wujiu pondered for a moment, clapped his hands and said, "Got it."

"We will now split into two groups and start searching towards the location where Yanri left and the location where Xie Bian left."

"No matter who we encounter, as long as they are not Grandmasters, we can escape unscathed!"
