How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

These assassins were obviously well prepared. The ship happened to be parked on the canal at the time, so they were like turtles caught in a jar, unable to escape and no support could arrive.

The assassin was seen swinging the scimitar in his hand and slowly approaching the prey in front of him.

The ship is currently parked in the middle of the canal and will take another half hour to return to land. The guards on the ship have already been eliminated by them.

It can be said that these old doctors in front of them are a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"Wait, that person in the stands seems to be our main target this time."

At this time, an assassin pointed at the young man standing on the stage and said.

He took out a portrait from his arms, compared it, and confirmed that it was the person they were looking for.

"Don't worry about these old guys for now. Get rid of the person on the stage first. His head is very valuable."

"Haha, don't worry, the boat is already on the river, and no one can leave."

"Yeah, why don't we have some fun first? It would be a bit boring if we kill them all at once."

"Do it as soon as possible, so as to avoid more trouble later."

The leading man in black spoke in a deep voice. This man's voice was exactly the middle-aged man who had been standing on the stage before.

At the same time, he was also the organizer of this medical skills exchange conference, gathering all the old doctors from all over Dayan here.

Originally their target was only these old doctors, but they did not expect there would be an unexpected surprise. Even Dayan's current prime minister came.

"Do it!"

As soon as the leading man in black finished speaking, a sharp sound of breaking wind suddenly rang out in the air.

"what!"

A scream was heard from the crowd. An assassin was hit by an arrow in the chest. The power of the arrow was so terrifying that both the man and the arrow flew backwards several meters.

Although the arrow did not hit the vital point, it instantly made the target lose the ability to move.

Immediately afterwards, several arrows shot out from behind Xu Chengling, all hitting the men in black present, without a single arrow missing their target.

The middle-aged man in the lead suddenly realized something and shouted loudly:

"Oh no, there's an ambush."

As soon as he finished speaking, dense footsteps suddenly came from all directions, and soldiers in armor poured into the ship like a tide, surrounding the assassins.

At the same time, outside the ship, these assassins used a strange-shaped gliding prop to slide from the high ground on the shore to the deck of the ship.

It was by this method that they landed on the ship.

At this moment, a dozen constables in uniforms with fish patterns came onto the deck and drew their bows to shoot arrows.

In this instant, more than a dozen rockets streaked across the sky and shot out.

At this moment, these assassins were gliding in the sky, but they could not change their direction and were shot by rockets like targets.

In an instant, the rocket ignited the entire glider, and amid screams, all the assassins were buried in the river.

Immediately afterwards, another round of rockets was fired, and streaks of fire ignited in the sky, and then crashed one after another.

But even so, a few assassins managed to dodge the rockets and got closer and closer to the deck.

"Don't let them land, shoot!"

The leading constable shouted loudly to his men. They each had one rocket left, so they fired them all.

In that instant, flames lit up the entire sky, thick smoke billowed, and all the assassins were wiped out.

"Great, it's all solved."

Just as everyone on the deck was preparing to celebrate, a figure rushed out from the thick smoke and landed on the deck.

Before everyone could react, they saw a several-meter-long knife flash across their bodies in an instant.

"You, you are..."

At the moment of death, they saw a cherry-red figure slowly walking out of the flames, with fluttering purple hair and eyes beneath the fox mask that shone with a terrifying, eerie blood light.

"This mission must not fail."

Chapter 177 How could it be him!

"Chief, we've been ambushed!"

"Don't be afraid, let's go together and kill him!"

The leading man in black shouted loudly and led a group of men in black to rush towards the young man on the stage.

The plan was changed temporarily. They now had only one goal, which was the young man standing on the stage watching all this.

"Master Xiangguo, please step back to avoid the blood splattering on you."

The guard standing next to Xu Chengling said in a deep voice that this man was a young general of the Dayan Army. He was highly skilled in martial arts and was already a captain of a thousand men at a young age. He had a bright future.

Now, the young general was ordered to come and protect this lord.

"Kill the bandits, protect the adults, and shoot!"

At a command from the young general, a dozen archers behind him fired their arrows at the same time. The arrows flew through the air and shot towards the assassin in front.

"Ahhh!"

A round of arrows rained down, screams were heard at the scene, and black shadows fell one after another, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.

These dozen arrows were so powerful and accurate that the enemy had no time to dodge and every shot hit the target.

These archers were well-trained. After shooting the first round, they immediately drew their bows and loaded arrows. The whole process was done without any delay.

When the young general saw this scene, he couldn't help but smack his lips and said:

"Wow, they are indeed the treasures of the Sharpshooter Battalion. They are so accurate. I wish I could lead these elites into battle someday."

These archers were not subordinates of the young general, but were borrowed from the Heavenly Supervisor and temporarily put under his command.

You know, training an archer is a very troublesome thing, let alone this kind of sharpshooter, each of them is a treasure of Jiantiansi.

These archers are equipped with long swords on their waists. Once they are approached by an enemy, they will directly draw out their long swords and fight.

To be a qualified archer, one must not only be able to draw the bow and shoot arrows, but also be able to fight in close combat.

At the same time, a group of armored soldiers surrounded the assassins and then gradually narrowed the encirclement.

These armored soldiers were wearing heavy armor that covered them from head to toe, and the weapons and hidden weapons in the hands of assassins could hardly hurt them at all.

If there is any advantage to these soldiers, it is probably their very poor mobility.

But the space inside the ship is very limited, which gives the soldiers great room to perform.

The assassins surrounded by the soldiers became targets and were shot repeatedly by the archers behind them, falling to the ground one after another.

The other party was obviously well prepared, and the situation on the scene suddenly reversed.

They originally thought they were hunters, but little did they know that they were the prey in the eyes of others from the very beginning.

Catching a turtle in a jar, they are the turtle in their own mouths.

At this time, the ship was parked right in the middle of the canal, and even if they fought their way out, they had nowhere to go.

They have fallen into the other party's carefully designed routine.

Obviously, there was a traitor among them who leaked the plan.

Since there is nowhere to escape, we can only fight to the death and complete the task assigned by the organization.

"Go ahead, don't worry about the others, your only target is the person on the stage!"

The leading man in black gave the order, and the assassins all showed a fearless look in their eyes.

They rushed to the stage regardless of everything, were pierced by spears and shot through the bodies by arrows by the soldiers in front of them, and their companions fell down one after another.

They stepped over the bodies of their companions, fought their way out, and used the piles of corpses to break out of the encirclement of the soldiers.

Looking at these Izumo assassins who were ready to die, Xu Chengling couldn't help but frown.

There was no fear in the eyes of these assassins, as if they were not afraid of death. Their faith was incredibly strong.

But in the face of an absolute gap in strength, belief is useless.

Xu Chengling stared ahead expressionlessly, watching these assassins, like moths to a flame, fall one after another in front of him.

They used the corpses to carve out a bloody path and finally sent an assassin to the target.

"go to hell!"

The assassin shouted coldly, and when he was only inches away from Xu Chengling, he slashed down with the scimitar in his hand.

"My lord, please step back."

At this moment, a sturdy figure stood in front of him, and a cold light came first, and the spear in his hand directly pierced through the assassin's chest.

The young general never left Xu Chengling's side from beginning to end.

He took action. The murderous intent he had gained on the battlefield was beyond the reach of these assassins. He pierced the enemy with one gunshot and then threw him to the ground more than ten meters away.

If you want to hurt this adult, you have to get past him first.

When the leading man in black saw that the assassination attempt had failed, his eyes were filled with despair. They had sacrificed countless companions to create this opportunity, but they couldn't even touch the corner of the opponent's clothes.

Just then, a strange noise came from behind them.

"Stop him!"

The soldier behind him shouted loudly, and just as he finished speaking, a cherry-red figure jumped down and rushed into the encirclement formed by the soldiers.

Judging from the figure of the person who came, she should be a woman. She was dressed in black and wore a fox mask with a strange smile on her face. In her hand, she held a cherry-colored long sword that was not suitable for her body shape, and there was a strange blood-red light flashing in her eyes.

"Step aside!"

The masked woman shouted coldly and gently swung the magic sword in her hand forward.

I saw a sharp red knife light sweeping out, like cutting wheat, directly cutting the armored soldier in front of him into two halves.

"tear!"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they saw this. It was too horrifying. That was iron armor, and yet it was cut through so easily.

"Don't be afraid, she's alone!"

An armored soldier said loudly that although the opponent looked very dangerous, he was only one person after all, while they had at least dozens of people on their side.

These soldiers were veterans of hundreds of battles and did not retreat. The soldier standing in the front raised his spear high and approached the masked woman who suddenly appeared.

The masked woman snorted coldly and swung the magic sword in her hand again. The armor on the soldier's body was like paper, and both the armor and the person were cut in half.

The blood-stained sword exuded an even more enchanting blood glow, and its power became even stronger.

The magic sword emitted a dazzling blood-red light, and the blade became longer. The masked woman swung the several-meter-long magic sword with both hands and directly defeated the entire row of soldiers in front of her.

"What a powerful force."

The young general stood above and watched all this, and couldn't help but frown.

These soldiers were being harvested like straw by the enemy, one by one, and they were unable to stop the enemy's attack at all.

The surrounded assassins took advantage of the chaos and retreated back into the encirclement to reunite with the masked woman.

The leading man in black said in a deep voice to the masked woman:

"Mr. Hanyu, please use the power of this demon sword Muramasa to help us destroy the enemy."

"Ah."

The masked woman nodded, and her slender hands with bulging veins tightly grasped the magic sword in her hand, as if it was sucked by it.

The demon sword Muramasa is a sacred weapon worshipped by the Hanyu family. It has extremely high requirements for its user. If one is not careful, the demon sword may take away one's sanity and turn one into an irrational monster.

The more bloodthirsty this magic sword is, the more powerful it is. As long as she uses the power of the magic sword, she can complete the task even if the other party is prepared in advance.

But the price...maybe her life.

The masked woman raised her head and looked at the figure on the stage with her cherry-red eyes. She couldn't help but freeze in place, and her slender hand holding the magic sword trembled slightly.

"How could...it be him!?"
