"you!"

Enraged, Zhang Liao suddenly threw a punch backward.

The force of this punch was terrifying; it even produced the sound of wind breaking.

"Bang!"

The woman who had been pitifully crying just moments before actually blocked Zhang Liao's punch with both hands, using the force to quickly move backward and fly onto the top of the wall.

Her bright eyes were filled with a smile.

"As expected of General Zhang, even with thirty-six elite Blood Vanguard Battalions surrounding you, you couldn't be taken down. What a pity..."

The woman's lips curled into a smile as she said, word by word, "Your heart is too soft, and not ruthless enough!"

From the moment Zhang Liao took in the people and brought them into his general's mansion, he had already fallen into a trap.

Among the people whom Zhang Liao believed needed protection, lurked the most dangerous assassins.

"kill!"

The woman gave a soft shout and leaped into the air.

The hidden weapon that had just been activated from his sleeve was used again, and another extremely thin silver needle shot towards Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao had been hit by a hidden weapon, and now the chill had spread from his waist to his entire back.

Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and swung his broken staff to block the silver needles.

Faced with the swarming elite Blood Vanguard Battalion, Zhang Liao held nothing back and unleashed a bloodbath!

"Bang!"

One of the elite Blood Vanguard soldiers was struck in the temple by Zhang Liao's fist. Blood welled up in the soldier's eyes, and he screamed and fell to the ground.

Zhang Liao seized the weapon and continued his charge, like a raging bull, each move deadly!

Zhang Liao killed several people in succession, but his movements had become noticeably slower.

With the woman joining the battle, Zhang Liao gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

"Pfft!"

A short blade flew in and struck Zhang Liao squarely in the abdomen.

If he were in his prime, such a sneak attack wouldn't even be able to get close to him.

The excruciating pain stimulated Zhang Liao's nerves, and his strength was rapidly draining away.

But an even more terrifying force erupted out amidst the excruciating pain.

He staggered back two steps, grabbed the long sword beside him, and slashed it fiercely.

The three elite Blood Vanguard soldiers at the forefront were killed on the spot, their limbs and bodies flying everywhere, and their blood staining the courtyard red.

The next moment, the woman darted out from the side like a ghost, her short blade aimed straight at Zhang Liao's side ribs.

"Pfft!"

The short blade pierced his flesh again, and the woman swung her fist, slamming it heavily into Zhang Liao's temple.

The punch was extremely powerful, and Zhang Liao was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.

If he hadn't been born with an extraordinary physique, this attack would have already taken his life.

After landing two successful blows, the woman did not pause at all, and her attacks became even more fierce.

She leaped into the air and slowly extended the ingenious mechanism hidden in her sleeve.

That thing resembled a small pen case, made entirely of brass, with the front end carved into the shape of a ferocious snake head.

With a soft "click," another silver needle shot out from the snake's mouth, aiming straight for Zhang Liao's brow!

Once the silver needle enters the brain, even a celestial being descending to earth cannot save him.

At the critical moment, a sharp sound of wind breaking suddenly came from the darkness.

"Whoosh—"

An arrow pierced the dark night sky, narrowly knocking the silver needle away.

He could accurately hit a silver needle as thin as a cow's hair with an arrow in the dead of night.

Such archery skills are nothing short of divine!

The woman was shocked and furious. She turned around abruptly and saw a figure already standing on the top of the wall.

The young man was tall and slender, and his wedding dress was already soaked in blood.

He drew his longbow to its full extent, the arrow aimed directly at the woman's brow.

"If you want to lay a finger on General Zhang, you'll have to ask me first!"

Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, the second arrow had already whistled through the air!

He shot arrows at an astonishing speed, the arrows flying out one after another like shooting stars.

The woman, along with the remaining eight elite Blood Vanguard soldiers, were completely suppressed by Lin Feng using only his bow and arrows.

There wasn't even room to look up.

Forced by arrows, the woman dodged left and right, urgently shouting to the remaining elite Blood Vanguard, "Sever Zhang Liao's head! Retreat!"

She needed to see Zhang Liao's head severed from his body before she could be completely at ease.

Upon hearing this, the remaining elite Blood Vanguard troops roared and charged towards Zhang Liao.

Seeing this, Lin Feng no longer held back.

With the longbow in hand, arrows rained down like a storm.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Lin Feng's arrows never missed their mark. Any elite Blood Vanguard who dared to get even half a step close to Zhang Liao was instantly shot through the brow by his arrow.

Those elite Blood Vanguard soldiers, having taken Blood Vanguard Pills, had long since lost their sense of pain.

At this moment, they actually tried to withstand the arrows with their flesh and blood, but they underestimated the power of Lin Feng's arrows.

You should know that Lin Feng is a master archer who can disable a catapult with a single arrow.

At such close range, what difficulty would it be to shoot them?

In a short while, all eight elite members of the Blood Vanguard Battalion were shot in the head with an arrow and fell into a pool of blood.

The last remaining woman rushed to Zhang Liao amidst the chaos, raised her short blade high, and slashed fiercely at his neck.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow suddenly shot out, cunningly aiming straight for the woman's back.

If she insisted on beheading Zhang Liao, she would surely die from an arrow piercing her chest.

Faced with a life-or-death situation, the woman had no choice but to grit her teeth, turn around, and use her short blade to block the arrows.

"Clang!"

The arrow was deflected by the short blade and spun into the sky, but a flash of fear crossed the woman's eyes.

Because along with that arrow came Lin Feng's figure!

The woman couldn't understand how Raymond Lam had managed to do it.

He had to not only shoot the crucial arrow that saved Zhang Liao from danger, but also rush over at top speed after shooting the arrow.

This speed is ridiculously fast!

The thought had barely crossed her mind when Lin Feng's attack came.

A powerful, heavy punch landed squarely on her chest.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the woman's ample breasts trembled violently from the impact, and she was sent flying backward like a cannonball, crashing into the wall.

She felt as if all the bones in her body were about to shatter. Just as she struggled to lift her head, she saw Lin Feng charging towards her again.

It was the same unadorned, heavy punch, aimed straight at her head.

With her last ounce of strength, the woman swung her sleeve sharply.

"call--"

A cloud of yellow powder suddenly drifted out, instantly obscuring Lin Feng's vision.

Lin Feng felt a sensation under his fist, clearly indicating that he had hit the woman.

And there was a crisp "crack" sound, which meant that her bones had been broken.

However, the pungent smell emanating from the yellow powder made Lin Feng dare not be careless in the slightest.

He immediately withdrew and retreated, keeping a wary eye on what lay ahead.

However, in that brief delay, the woman's figure had already disappeared.

Just as Lin Feng was about to give chase, Su Mo's voice rang out: "Lord Lin, don't pursue a cornered enemy. It's more important to heal General Zhang first!"

Lin Feng patted off the remaining powder on his body and rushed to Zhang Liao's side to check his injuries.

Zhang Liao had wounds on his back, ribs, and abdomen, which were bloody and mangled.

The most fatal blows were the hidden silver needle lodged in his lower back and the punch that struck his temple.

"Godfather!"

A mournful cry rang out, and Lü Zheng, covered in blood, arrived late.

He rushed into the courtyard and saw Zhang Liao lying in a pool of blood; his eyes instantly turned red.

He, Lin Feng, Li Ping'an, and others had just rushed to the General's Mansion with all their might, but they were intercepted by another group of assassins on the way.

Lu Zheng and Li Ping'an fought desperately to break through the enemy lines and managed to carve a path for Lin Feng to come to his rescue.

Even so, Zhang Liao was still injured to this extent.

Su Mo, supported by someone, walked slowly over and said in a deep voice, "Young General, now is not the time to grieve. The Northern Barbarian army's night attack has already begun. I urge you, Young General, to go to the North City Wall with Lord Li, Lord Bian, and Lord Qiao to command the soldiers in resisting the Northern Barbarian invasion."

"The safety of the General's residence and the General's injuries are entrusted to me and Lord Lin."

"Zhenyuan City is now beset by internal and external troubles. Whether we can stabilize the situation depends entirely on you all!"

Li Ping'an gritted his teeth and angrily cursed, "Those northern barbarians are truly treacherous and cunning!"

"First they plotted to assassinate General Zhang, then launched a night raid, attempting to capture Zhenyuan City in one fell swoop! Despicable and shameless!"

No matter how angry Lü Zheng and Li Ping'an were, the die was cast.

Suppressing his grief and anger, Lü Zhengqiang, along with Li Ping'an and his deputies Bian Xi and Qiao Ping, rushed to the north city wall to stabilize morale and the battle situation.

The general's mansion was in complete disarray, with corpses scattered everywhere.

Su Mo immediately ordered Zhang Lu to lead the remaining guards to guard the general's mansion and prevent any further assassin attacks.

At the same time, people were sent to clean up the mess inside the mansion.

On the other hand, he quickly sent people to invite experienced military doctors and all the renowned physicians in Zhenyuan City to come and treat Zhang Liao overnight.

Night deepened, and it was already midnight.

In a quiet courtyard of the General's Mansion, Cherry, carrying a food box, tiptoed into the house.

Inside the room, Song Yuwei and Su Wan'er, still dressed in their bright red wedding gowns, sat quietly on the bed, their faces showing exhaustion.

"Miss, Lord Lin asked me to bring you some food, in case you're hungry," Cherry said softly as she closed the door.

Song Yuwei gently lifted the veil, her fatigue evident in her expression.

"Is my husband... still busy?"

Cherry nodded gently, reached out and opened the food box, and a rich aroma instantly filled the air.

"Yes, my lord has been keeping watch in General Zhang's courtyard, fearing that another assassin might take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack."

"When I passed by just now, I saw that the courtyard was brightly lit inside and out. Almost all the famous doctors in Zhenyuan City had come."

"Even Mr. Zhang Jing, the most famous doctor in our Zhenyuan City, has come in person."

Upon hearing this, Su Wan'er clasped her hands tightly and asked softly, "Sister Yuwei, tonight... will my husband not come?"
