Night Watchman: Linked to the Legend of Sword and Fairy game, strongly promoting Huaiqing.

Because killing Wang Wu and the others would require a fourth-grade expert.

The records of all the fourth-rank experts in the capital are kept.

No one went to Taikang County today.

"Wang Wu and his gang are truly more trouble than they're worth!"

Sun Mingzhong showed his dissatisfaction.

He then looked at his subordinates and instructed, "When Wang Wu and the others return, have them come over immediately."

"Yes, sir." The subordinate respectfully withdrew.

···········

at the same time.

Outside the Sun residence.

A man with an ordinary face slowly emerged from the darkness.

Looking at the mansion with its gates tightly shut, Li Xuan's gaze turned cold.

He vanished in a flash.

They reappeared, now inside the Sun residence.

"Set up a sealing spell first!"

Li Xuan used his magic to activate a sealing spell over the area surrounding the Sun residence.

Soon, a faint ripple enveloped the entire Sun residence.

Seeing this, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Next, it's time to kill!"

Clang!

He drew his Longquan sword, which rang out with a sound.

He lifted his feet and walked step by step toward the Sun residence.

He had only taken a few steps when he was immediately spotted by the guards.

"Who?"

The two guards were startled and immediately drew their weapons.

"Enemy attack!"

Upon seeing the unfamiliar Li Xuan wielding a long sword and exuding murderous intent, he immediately shouted.

At the same time, he charged forward, weapon in hand.

Swish!

A flash of sword light, and the two guards' corpses fell to the ground.

After dealing with the two men, Li Xuan, sword in hand, continued walking forward.

along the way.

Guards kept rushing over, intending to kill Li Xuan.

Without exception, none of them could withstand a single blow, and they all died.

In the study room.

Just as Sun Mingzhong was about to sit down, he heard the shout.

"Enemy attack!"

First came a shout, followed by all sorts of cries.

"There are enemies!"

"An assassin has broken in!"

"Send support immediately and kill the assassin."

···········

"An assassin?"

Sun Mingzhong was startled.

He immediately stood up and strode out.

He was a high-ranking official of the third rank, possessing the combat strength of a fifth-rank Confucian scholar.

And he is the strongest person in the mansion.

Therefore, being highly skilled and daring, he did not choose to run away or hide.

After coming out.

A guard rushed over: "Sir, an assassin has broken in!"

"What level of strength?" Sun Mingzhong asked.

The guard shook his head: "I don't know yet!"

at this time.

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

A series of pitiful cries rang out.

This was followed by a sound of someone falling to the ground.

This was clearly not the screams of the enemy.

Because there is only one enemy.

It was clearly the shouts of the guards.

Upon hearing this, Sun Mingzhong's expression changed.

His guards numbered in the dozens.

Moreover, they all possessed strength at the eighth or seventh rank.

With so many people together, even when facing a sixth-rank expert, the situation wouldn't be one-sided and disastrous.

The intruder is at least a fifth-rank assassin!

This strength should not be underestimated.

Because he was only at the late stage of the fifth rank.

"Send a signal immediately to call for help!"

Sun Mingzhong immediately looked at his subordinates and gave them instructions.

"Yes, sir!" The subordinate immediately ran to the side and activated the distress signal.

call out!

A streak of light shot out and rushed towards the sky.

This is a distress signal.

The patrolling city guards, night watchmen, and others will come to the rescue immediately upon seeing this.

But just as the launched beam of light shot into the sky, it struck a ripple.

It was ruthlessly intercepted.

"What's going on?" The guard was startled and somewhat bewildered.

"A protective array!" Sun Mingzhong's pupils contracted, and his expression changed drastically.

"No wonder the surrounding mansions haven't heard any commotion or come to our aid for so long."

His residence was surrounded by his colleagues, who were also high-ranking officials and nobles.

Logically, any disturbance should be quickly heard by other residences.

But after so long, no one has come to provide support or investigate.

It turns out the sound was concealed by the formation!

"Damn it, who wants to kill me?"

The rippled defenses that appeared were clearly a powerful formation.

However, this formation still enveloped a huge mansion, and it formed silently.

This is no small feat.

Only a formation master of at least the late stage of the fourth rank can do this.

"However, there is still a chance to escape!"

Although formations can conceal the courtyard, their defensive capabilities are generally weak.

He is at the late stage of the fifth rank; if he attacks with all his might, he might be able to break through.
