Chapter 131 Come Closer to Me
Zhong Lin didn't bother to pay attention to these so-called royal affairs, but since it was a task assigned by the clan leader, he had the obligation to protect Jiang Yuan.

He reached into his quiver, pulled out three arrows, and drew his bow.

The darkness did not affect Zhong Lin's vision. The next moment, three arrows shot into the middle man among the black people in a V-shape, like meteors chasing the moon.

This person is the leader.

Faced with the arrow that suddenly shot towards him, the man in black's expression changed drastically.

He swung the long sword in his hand to block quickly. The first arrow was blocked, the second arrow was blocked by the men beside him, but the third arrow hit his shoulder.

Zhong Lin felt a little regretful. The last arrow was meant to hit his heart, but he didn't expect it to be avoided.

Faced with the injury of their leader, the attacking black-clad army was only a little agitated, but then they calmed down and continued to attack the formation of Niu Dali's army in an orderly manner.

Zhong Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "What a cunning fellow! He's just a small leader. The real person behind the scenes is still hiding in the crowd. But do you think I can't do anything to you just like that?"

There was a gleam of light in Zhong Lin's eyes. Since we can't find you, we'll kill everyone.

The ebony bow in his hand changed direction, and arrows shot into the black-clad crowd like beads.

Every time the bowstring vibrates, a life will be lost, and no one can stop it. After all, although these men in black are powerful in battle formation, they are just ordinary people, at most a little stronger, and there are only a few of them who are of the highest rank. How can they block Zhong Lin's bow and arrow? Even a warrior of the third rank can only suffer in frustration when facing Zhong Lin's amazing archery skills.

Among the men in black opposite, a burly man was hiding in the crowd, his hands trembling slightly. Looking at the man next to him who was covering his shoulder, his eyes twitched slightly. He secretly felt lucky that he was careful, otherwise he might be the one injured this time, or even die.

"General, the guy on the opposite side is too good at archery. Almost every time he shoots, a brother falls. Although we have more people, we can't withstand such a torment. If this continues, we will probably collapse before we can even break through the enemy's defenses."

The man in black had a slightly dark expression on his face. "What impressive archery skills! Pass the word down. Separate a group of men and go attack that guy specifically. We need to kill him first. At the very least, we need to disrupt his archery skills."

As he spoke, he waved the command flag, and naturally some soldiers separated and charged towards Zhong Lin.

The soldiers formed a defensive formation, which naturally had weak and strong spots. The place where Zhong Lin was located was a weak spot.

Niu Dali also considered many aspects when deploying his troops. He was well aware of Zhong Lin's martial arts skills, so he only left a few soldiers for defense, and used the rest to defend other places.

Several soldiers saw a large group of men in black rushing towards them. Although they did not retreat, they subconsciously looked at Zhong Lin.

"interesting."

Zhong Lin smiled, not caring at all, but his hands moved faster.

"Bowmanship. Continuous bows."

shhhhhhhh!

Five arrows were fired in succession, almost in rapid succession, and the five men in black who were closest to them were shot through the neck in an instant.

Before the people behind could react, five more arrows shot out from the air.

However, in a short moment, the entire team of dozens of people had lost most of their men before they could get within a hundred steps of Zhong Lin.

This scene was seen by everyone. No one would have thought that this young man who had been in the carriage and rarely got out had such archery skills. After all, only Jiang Yuan and Niu Dali knew about Zhong Lin's martial arts skills.

With such a great archer here, victory is already beckoning to them. The army's morale is soaring, and even the swords in their hands have become three times more powerful.

Suddenly, a man in black in the crowd suddenly rose into the air, and a faint blood cloud appeared around him. He crossed the defense of Niu Dali's army in the void, and rushed in front of Jiang Yuan in an instant like a stream of light, holding a black short blade, and slashed towards Jiang Yuan's neck.

"Qi and blood are like clouds, in the realm of divine power, princess, be careful."

Niu Dali was horrified and roared, turning his body quickly, trying to block the man in black. However, his speed was too slow, and the man in black had already reached Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan seemed to be stunned and didn't react at all.

laugh!
Suddenly, a golden sword light cut through the dark night sky, tearing through the air and shooting towards us like lightning.

With a scream, the man in black was cut into two pieces by the sword light. His body fell to the ground and blood spilled onto the earth.

Zhong Lin retracted his sword finger, his face expressionless. The sword energy he just released was the "Spiritual Sword Finger" he released.

The man in black is only at the fourth level of divine power, how can he resist?
Among the black-clad crowd, the leader's expression changed drastically when he saw Zhong Lin's terrifying sword energy, and his eyes were filled with fear.

"A top third-rank warrior? Retreat, retreat quickly."

After saying that, he ran out first, entered the distant jungle and disappeared.

When the call for retreat was sounded, the men in black, who were panic-stricken and frightened, no longer wanted to fight any further. This was because the organization had strict discipline and would not allow anyone to retreat, otherwise the consequences would be dire.

The retreat was faster than the attack, and soon, except for the corpses on the ground, all the men in black disappeared into the dense forest.

Niu Dali did not order a pursuit. The jungle was pitch black. If they were ambushed by the enemy, it would not be a matter of casualties, but the entire army would be wiped out.

Don't chase a desperate enemy, and don't enter the woods.

"Princess, are you okay?"

Niu Dali asked anxiously.

Jiang Yuan looked at the man in black who was cut into two pieces in front of him, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. It was just a little bit, just a little bit!

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yuan bowed to Zhong Lin's body.

"Thank you, senior brother, for saving your life."

Zhong Lin remained silent and said, "You are not weak in martial arts, but you lack combat experience. Next time you encounter an assassination attempt, stay close to me."

"Brother, I will teach you a lesson, Junior Sister, remember it."

Zhong Lin nodded, turned around and returned to the tent. Someone would clean up the battlefield.

Jiang Yuan stood there, looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, the rage in his heart rising to the sky.

"Princess, these men in black are all from the military."

"I know."

Jiang Yuan's eyes flashed coldly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This is the work of the fourth brother. Only he can mobilize such elite troops. My dear brother! You really gave me a great gift."

Niu Dali remained silent. He had long guessed that only the elite troops of the Huben Camp could achieve such combat power, and the commander of the Huben Camp was the fourth prince's uncle.

"Where are you going to take these bodies?"

Jiang Yuan looked at the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield, his expression changed, and he spoke in a cold voice.

"Princess, there are many wild beasts in this wilderness at night. They want to bury these bodies to prevent them from being eaten by wild beasts." Niu Dali explained.
