Knife splashing

Chapter 587 Breakout
Boom boom boom!
In the streets and alleys around, heavy footsteps were heard coming from afar.

Two thousand elite guards poured in from every street like a black tide.

Among them, there are two hundred Black Feather Guards.

The ordinary Black Feather Guards focused on speed, and most of them rode fast horses in light armor, but this group wore heavy black iron armor, and each of them was tall, and even the magic fire spears in their hands were one size larger.

Not only that, but each person's armor had a brass-carved amulet inlaid on the chest, which was almost exactly the same as the one Li Yan had snatched from Xiong Baodong, but it was much heavier.

This talisman is called "Six Ding and Six Jia Talisman".

It can protect one's life and resist evil magic, and is also often used in military battles. The Ministry of War of the Daxuan Dynasty commissioned someone to make it specially for military officers of the fifth rank and above to wear to prevent harassment from evil magic.

Although it is not an authentic product, it can still easily resist magic.

This is the strength of the "Black Feather Guard". The heavy armor can resist swords and weapons, the "Six Ding and Six Jia Talisman" is a protective spell, and the more powerful magic fire gun, it can be called a killing god.

These soldiers rushing over seemed to appear out of thin air.

This can only be achieved through careful deployment.

The cold wind was howling, and everyone in the Prince's Mansion looked grim.

Everyone knows at this moment,
They have fallen into a trap!

Li Yan closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath.

Before coming here, he had always felt a little uneasy, but he didn't understand what was wrong. It was not until this moment that he figured out the reason.

They underestimated "Lu Sheng".

This old monster was able to deceive even the First Emperor, triggered the burning of books and burying of scholars, and has been secretly living until now. How could he not see the flaws in his own plan?

There's no flaw there. It's clearly a fishing net.

And today is the time to close the net.

He also thought that when he went out of the city today, he would directly ask the ghost soldiers to kill the King of Shu when he saw him.

But now it seems that there may be even more terrifying traps outside the city...

On the street opposite the Prince's Mansion, several generals from the garrison came riding on horses.

The army of the Daxuan Dynasty was mainly composed of a garrison system, and each state was managed by the Duzhihuishisi.

Next came "Wei" and "Suo".

Each "wei" had about 6,000 people, with a third-rank commander. The "suo" was further divided into thousand-household suo and hundred-household suo according to the number of people.

These generals are all commanders of the garrisons.

The leader was wearing fish-scale chain mail and had a clear and cold look in his eyes.

But what the surrounding soldiers didn't notice was that under the thick scarf on his neck, the blood vessels were bulging with dark red lines, as if there was a bloody centipede hidden under his skin.

Li Yan’s guess was correct.

These garrison commanders were not cursed.

That day they were lured into the mansion by the Grand Prince. After they fell unconscious, a poison was put on their whole family. They were also promised that after the deed was accomplished, they would be rewarded with titles of nobility and land.

From the beginning, they knew what they were doing.

The reason is very simple, if someone is under a spell, although he will obey orders, because the spell affects his thinking, he will often be confused in doing things.

This is a big taboo in an army that is strictly disciplined and could easily be discovered by his subordinates, so the King of Shu took some effort to do it.

Even these garrison soldiers knew what to do.

But some things cannot be stopped once they are started, and the reputation of the King of Shu also made them feel a little bit optimistic.

If successful, your status will be immediately different.

"Surround them, don't let any one go!"

"Blow up that rat hole for me!"

At a command from the leading commander, a large number of soldiers immediately surrounded the Prince's Mansion.

Wow!
The troops in the rear all raised their muskets.

Although not a new firearm, they make up for their power in quantity.

At the same time, some soldiers, under the guidance of the evil sorcerer, rushed into the inn, hacked to death the gangsters guarding the door, and threw explosives into the tunnel.

"boom!"

With a loud roar, the inn collapsed, with dust and broken tiles flying everywhere.

When everyone in the Prince's Mansion heard this, they felt even more disheartened.

"still have a chance!"

Upon seeing this, Master Wuxiang tore off the sleeve of the dead body, stained it with blood, and quickly drew a map of the nearby terrain and marked a few circles.

Although it was simple, everyone could see it clearly.

Three streets away from the Prince’s Mansion, there are new secret passage entrances, and there are four of them!
For a moment, everyone regained hope of survival.

"Everyone, bring out your best skills and prepare to break out!"

Young Master Wuxiang's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his facial features were constantly distorted.

Even he may not survive this time.

Boom!
There was a muffled sound.

However, when everyone was looking at the exit, the prince had somehow moved to the door, suddenly broke open the side door and rushed out.

His python-patterned brocade robe was stained with dust and blood, his crown was askew, and one of his gold-threaded shoes was missing. He walked barefoot on the snow, waving his hands as he ran:
"Uncle, please save me..."

Bang!
With a loud bang, the head exploded and the headless body fell to the ground.

The leading commander had a cold look in his eyes. He put away his smoking flintlock musket and said calmly, "The evil man has harmed the Grand Duke. Attack!"

The eldest prince was also naive. When he saw that something was wrong, he immediately rushed out, wanting to say that he was being held hostage.

It is better to lose wealth and throne than to lose life.

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that this uncle, who had loved him the most since childhood, had already been full of resentment towards him.

After the Grand Duke was killed, the soldiers nearby didn't care at all.

Among the surrounded team, two people rushed out from all directions, carrying bamboo ladders and rushing forward.

Bang bang bang!
The sound of bamboo ladders hitting the wall suddenly came, and the soldiers at the rear began to climb.

The Grand Prince's Mansion is wealthy, large in area, and has high walls. These soldiers do not know how to maneuver lightly, so they can only use siege tactics.

At the same time, the soldiers in the rear holding strong bows also drew their bows and shot arrows, and arrows fell into the palace.

Not to kill the enemy, just to provide cover.

"Help me protect the law!"

It was Granny Jin who gave the order directly.

Everyone knew that she was going to cast a spell to break out, so without further ado, they rushed towards the wall under a hail of arrows.

At this moment, some soldiers had already climbed over the wall, ready to raise their firearms.

"Go!"

The big man who looked like a butcher roared, stepped on the wall and flew into the air, then performed a Baji "Dingxin Elbow".

He is tall and although not as big as Wu Ba, he has also stepped into the dark energy and has amazing strength.

Boom!
With a dull thud, the soldier's breastplate shattered, and the whole person flew backwards, fell heavily to the ground, and vomited blood.

The man didn't even look at it. He grabbed the wrist of the soldier next to him with his backhand, shook his arm, and with a crackling sound, twisted the soldier's arm bone into a knot with the "big silk twister".

Bang bang bang!
Before the soldiers' howls had died down, the sound of dense gunfire rang out.

The big man who looked like a butcher suddenly burst into blood all over his body and fell heavily from the wall. Blood foamed from his mouth and his eyes gradually became lifeless.

This is the change brought about by firearms.

The man's name is "Zhu Laosan". He is a famous hero in the streets and alleys of Shuncheng, Chengdu, and has extensive connections in the underworld.

Not only did he learn Baji, he also mastered hard Qigong.

With the help of luck, it is difficult for flying arrows and hidden weapons to hurt you.

But his old habits killed him.

Of course, no one cared about it at the moment.

The Prince's Mansion was too large, and they did not have enough people, so they could only defend the area around the front hall. In the backyard of the mansion, soldiers were constantly crawling in, lining up and firing, attacking the front hall.

But this narrow area is not conducive to firearms attack.

As soon as these soldiers rushed past the gatehouse, a man from the Cao Gang who was hanging upside down on the beam fell down and stabbed them in the throat with a water-dividing spear.

The water-dividing thorn had a bloody groove, and when it was pulled out, half of the throat was pulled out. But in the blink of an eye, the Cao Gang man was shot to death...

"Go!"

The blind Taoist priest from Kinmen showed his superb kung fu skills at this moment.

He swung his whisk and caught three crossbow arrows. He listened to the wind to determine the position and swung it onto the roof, shooting and killing a soldier, but gunshots rang out as well.

Bang bang bang!
There was constant gunfire, but the blind Taoist was not injured.

It was his somewhat foolish medium who used his huge body to block the way ahead and fell to the ground with blood holes all over his body.

"Silly boy!"

The old Taoist cried out in grief and took out a black jar from his arms.

This is a wandering soul jar, tied with layers of red ropes, with yellow talismans pasted on it and a few lucky coins used. It is obvious that there is some evil thing sealed inside.

The old Taoist was blind and knew he could not escape death, so he wanted to recruit a few people temporarily.

Click!

The black can smashed to the ground and billowing black smoke rose up.

Even during the day, you can hear strange hissing sounds inside.

"Find them!"

The old Taoist roared and chopped his face into pieces with his knife. Then he kept chanting spells and pointing forward.

Call ~
A strong wind blew up and black smoke rushed towards the soldiers.

But at this moment, Dorje Tashi, a Black Sect lama on the street outside the door, sneered, took out a human bone prayer wheel from his waist, and shook it while chanting scriptures.

"Hezozhbasapade..."

This was his original Black Cult inheritance, originally used to pray for blessings and drive away evil spirits, but when the old devil turned it around, it became a fierce evil magic.

The black mist suddenly rolled back and pounced on the blind old Taoist priest. As the black mist dissipated, the old Taoist priest turned into a dried corpse.

"kill!"

Young Master Wuxiang had a murderous look on his face and his figure was like a ghost. While dodging arrows, he killed seven or eight people in succession.

At this moment, his heart was filled with resentment.

Although these dead gangsters were all gangsters, they were also his good friends and helped him escape the most difficult times.

Unexpectedly, everyone died here today.

Li Yan also acted ruthlessly.

If he used the escape technique, he might have a chance to escape, but if he escaped, the resistance alliance would become a complete joke.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look towards the hall.

I saw Granny Jin with a gloomy face, standing in front of the altar that had not yet been dismantled, wearing a Zi Gu Nuo mask, and taking out pottery jars from the backpack beside her and placing them on the altar.

As the old woman performed the Nuo dance, all the pottery jars broke into pieces.

All kinds of poisonous insects swarmed out, including red centipedes, tiny poisonous flies, poisonous snakes as long as chopsticks... and pounced in all directions.

These poisonous insects were quite intelligent and moved very fast. In a blink of an eye, they had bitten the soldiers so hard that their faces turned black and they died of poisoning.

The rest rushed out the door.

The Nuo altar technique of "Five Poisons Opening the Way"!
Li Yan was a little surprised and hope rose in his heart.

He had heard from Long Yaner that this kind of magic was extremely powerful.

However, Lama Dorje Tashi, who was standing outside the door, shook the human bone prayer wheel again and threw out seven bone beads from his sleeves.

clap clap clap!
A series of crisp sounds were actually embedded in the stone slabs in front of the palace gate, which was obviously some kind of sophisticated hidden weapon technique.

The bone beads fell to the ground and turned into the Big Dipper formation.

This is not the Xuanmen Seven Star Formation, but the "Seven Star Lock" created by this evil monk who practices evil magic.

Buzz!
All the human bone beads vibrated at the same time.

Those poisonous insects seemed to be restrained by some force. They ran around the palace restlessly but found it difficult to get out.

Granny Jin gritted her teeth and continued to perform the Nuo dance.

However, her skills were still not as good as the evil monk's, and she was immediately attacked back, her face turned pale, and blood spurted from her mouth.

Having said that, these poisonous insects poisoned and killed all the soldiers who invaded the palace, thus blocking this wave of attack.

"Bring that thing here!"

The commander-in-chief's face suddenly turned gloomy.

The soldiers in the rear quickly took action. Eight of them worked together, carrying a short cannon and placed it in front of the Prince's Mansion.

This cannon is forged from purple copper, with a tiger head embossed on the cannon head and two animal claws supporting it in the front. It is the "Tiger Cannon".

Several soldiers picked up the gunpowder bags and stuffed them in.

When Li Yan heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

This "Tiger Cannon" was the one that was taken away by the people from the Shu Palace after they lost it.

Forged with spiritual materials, it is strong enough to withstand new gunpowder.

The soldiers were also loading new-style gunpowder bags, and judging by the concentration, it seemed like one shot would be enough to destroy the Prince's Mansion.

"Close your eyes!"

At this point, Li Yan could not care about anything else. He took out the certificate, clasped his hands together, and chanted: "Qingjia! The sky is black above, the earth is black below, the sky is dark, the earth is dark, there is no door..."

"not good!"

When the Black Sect Lama outside heard this, he turned around and ran away. He wrapped his body and turned into billowing black smoke, and left the street in the blink of an eye.

This is the method to summon the soldiers from the underworld.

To be honest, Li Yan didn't want to use this trump card, but he had no choice at this point.

The Black Sect Lama was highly skilled in Taoism and if he blocked the door, he might be able to break his escape technique. More importantly, those heavily armored Black Feather Guards were lined up in a row and standing in the distance.

There was a skinny man with huge eyes next to him.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be some kind of eye-sight.

Two hundred divine fire spears fired at the same time, even the ten great masters would be killed.

Hearing Li Yan's shout, Wuxiang Gongzi and others quickly closed their eyes.

Of course they knew what this was, and the reason they tried to curry favor with Li Yan was because this method was so powerful.

Almost instantly, the surroundings fell into darkness.

Visible frost spread outwards wrapped in darkness.

The soldiers of the garrison were somewhat confused and retreated cautiously.

Of course they didn't know what it was, even the commanders.

Hululu!
The warhorse beneath him wailed in fear and knelt down.

These were all commanders with pretty good kung fu skills. They dodged in mid-air and dropped down, but before they could react, they were swallowed by the darkness.

I vaguely heard the sound of chains, and then I lost consciousness...

"Run!"

The evil sorcerers in the palace were also frightened and turned around and ran away, wishing they could grow wings.

Facing such power, no magic or tactics would work.

The darkness spread rapidly.
It was about to devour those heavily armored black-feathered guards.

Li Yan could feel it and felt relieved.

The great lama has already escaped, and these Black Feather Guards have become the biggest threat. As long as they are eliminated, everyone can escape smoothly.

Using the Gangling to summon the underworld soldiers does not mean he can do it at will. It is okay to slay demons and monsters, but if he kills too many people, he will violate the "Underworld Law" and get into trouble.

These Black Feather Guards obviously felt threatened and turned around and ran, but because they were wearing heavy armor, their speed was slower than everyone else.

The darkness was about to swallow them up.

At this moment, a yellow silk came whistling and was nailed directly to the gate of the palace by a sharp arrow.

Something happened that horrified Li Yan.

The underworld troops actually began to retreat...
