Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.
So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.
While other...
Chapter 27 Offense and Defense Change Type
The fire in the government office was such a big deal that it naturally caused a lot of noise. When a group of soldiers rushed out of the government office, all the people outside retreated back to their rooms, not even daring to show their heads. They had seen what these bandits had done since they entered the city. Those who refused to obey had already been killed.
"Captain Zhu, General Fan's cronies haven't come out yet."
This sentence made the leader's face look a little ugly.
"What should we do next?"
A group of soldiers gathered around Captain Zhu, waiting for his decision.
They also knew that it was impossible to catch such a high-flying enemy with their own skills, but they still had to show their attitude in front of the general, otherwise they would be caught and chopped by the angry general. Where could they go to seek justice?
"Search according to the old rules. Be alert. The general is angry now. Don't be too conspicuous."
Captain Zhu glanced at the captain who asked the question and gave him a reply.
"yes."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Captain Zhu's order.
No one wants to die, and this group of soldiers is no exception. Loyalty is true, but it depends on the person. If it was Prince Ning, everyone would definitely be loyal to him, but if it was General Fan, it's hard to say how much loyalty would be left.
After a group of soldiers left, they quickly began searching the streets.
On the other side, after Chen Luo escaped from the county government office, he did not go far away, but hid on the pavilion next to him, recovering the internal energy he had just consumed while looking for an opportunity.
General Fan will definitely be killed today!
How could he just run away when his junior sister was not rescued? The reason he left first was just to get himself out of the dangerous environment and change his identity from prey to hunter. Using advantages to deal with others' disadvantages is the best choice. Standing down there and fighting against thousands of people, facing archers, poison arrows, and hidden weapons head-on is not his style, at least he can't do it at this stage.
After Captain Zhu and his group left, Chen Luo quickly changed direction and sneaked back into the government office.
After the previous assassination attempt, the government office was in complete chaos. General Fan's subordinates were alarmed and searched everywhere. Many dark spots were lit with torches to prevent possible assassinations. However, this level of search posed no threat to Chen Luo.
As long as he is not surrounded, no one in this government office can be his match.
After passing several secret checkpoints, Chen Luo returned to the yard where General Fan was.
General Fan was also a bold man, and he did not leave his familiar environment. This was a smart move, but if he really went insane and fled to another place in the middle of the night, he would be a real fool.
"Come here, put these women on the table and arrange them according to their birthdays. Don't make any mistakes."
Next, General Fan picked up the book again and gave orders to the soldiers beside him while comparing it with the book.
This time even Chen Luo noticed something was wrong.
"Could that book be some kind of secret manual?" Chen Luo's eyes flickered.
General Fan still refuses to put down the booklet at this time, so the secret hidden in it must be quite big.
Thinking of this, Chen Luo moved lightly to the corner.
This is the corner of the yard, with a big tree next to it. It is a little far from the middle platform set up by General Fan, and there are only three people on duty here. The three people also hold torches in their hands, lighting up the entire area.
Chen Luo was lurking on the roof and lifted a tile with one hand.
With a slight force of his fingers, he pinched the tile into several pieces.
Puff puff puff!!
The broken tiles were like hidden weapons, and after being infused with internal energy, they easily pierced the throats of the three soldiers. The three fell down without even having time to scream.
"who!!"
Although Chen Luo tried his best to be careful, the falling torch still attracted the attention of people nearby.
As soon as they noticed the noise, someone started shouting.
The sound startled everyone.
"It's Jichun and the other three."
“Dead!”
There was an uproar, and everyone suddenly became nervous. They all grabbed their weapons and looked around nervously. The dark sky at this moment looked like a demon with its mouth open, giving people a boundless sense of oppression.
They didn’t feel anything during the previous siege, but after the roles changed, everyone suddenly felt the horror of the Bone Tempering Realm master.
"Why are you panicking? If this thief dares to come out, I will chop him up and feed him to the dogs!"
General Fan roared, kicked a soldier to the ground, and regardless of their reactions, he forcibly gave the order to continue the mission.
The soldier who was kicked felt very aggrieved, but he dared not resist, so he had to return with General Fan.
call out.
A flash of black light.
With a "pop" sound, the throat of the soldier who had just taken two steps was instantly pierced. The hot blood splashed on General Fan's face. Almost at the same time, several other soldiers were also attacked and killed. What was even more strange was that among so many people, no one saw the location of the person who attacked from beginning to end. Every time they rushed over, they saw an empty corner of the house.
"What kind of hero is it to sneak around? If you have the guts, come out and fight openly!"
The sound spread out and reached outside the government office.
Even Wang Dajiang from the Shahu Gang who was hiding in the dark heard it.
"A master is a master. He killed so many people in the imperial court that they could only bark helplessly. Xiao Min is saved this time." Wang Dajiang was very excited. He was thinking whether he should find a husband for his niece after the limelight was over.
This 'senior brother' looks quite good. He is a disciple of Master Ma and his martial arts skills are so high.
Bang bang!
Two more bodies fell in the yard.
The same technique, the same hidden weapon.
The people around were getting more and more panicked. They ignored the formation guarding the yard and all the survivors gathered together. General Fan had no choice. He now regretted not taking a risk before, which led to him falling into a passive situation.
The only thing you can do is to keep provoking the other party with words and force them to show up.
"As a master of the Bone Forging Realm, do you only dare to hide in the dark and launch sneak attacks? Is your martial arts the 'way of rats'?"
Chen Luo is such a steady person. After going through the previous danger, he has now been reborn. Stability is the most important thing! How could General Fan want to provoke him with just a few words? !
Ten minutes later.
Several more people died, and there were not many people left in the yard, including the sentries. The roof and the house were almost completely demolished by General Fan and his entourage.
But even so, no one was caught.
The other party is like a ghost, you can't even see his shadow.
Now everyone gathered in the empty yard and cut down all the nearby trees.
Without any cover, it would not be so easy to be attacked by surprise.
Puff! !
Another person answered.
"It's a hidden arrow!"
The soldier who squatted down to examine the body's face changed.
The safe zone they had worked so hard to create was destroyed by a single hidden arrow.
The stones can be used to block the attack, but the sleeve arrows cannot!
"It's your sleeve arrow, General." Someone recognized the mark on the sleeve arrow.
This result made General Fan look even worse.
The group quickly returned to General Fan's room and found that the things inside had indeed been looted. Not only were the banknotes missing, but even General Fan's favorite sleeve arrow was missing.
Phew!
Several more voices were heard, and the soldier at the back fell to the ground and died again.
"There are seven people left, four of them use hidden weapons, and three use knives."
Chen Luo, who was hiding in the dark, was like a venomous snake, his eyes swept over the remaining seven people outside. Among the more than one hundred brains, the one that was best at observing the enemy's situation quickly gave feedback.
"Be careful and alert."
General Fan's palms were sweaty as he held the spear.
There were only a few people left around him now. Looking at the dark night sky outside, he felt regret for the first time. If he had not come to Qingya County, would he not have encountered such a thing? At the same time, a ball of anger rose in his heart. When had he ever been forced to such a point by a fringe man as a general of the imperial court? As long as he could hold on until dawn, he would find this villain and wipe out his three clans!
He was answered by the sound of a body falling to the ground.
When a master of the Bone Tempering Realm completely loses all sense of shame, the sense of oppression brought about will be so strong.
Now the few people left in their garden were no longer able to defend themselves. Even if the enemy jumped out in broad daylight, they would not be able to defeat them. But the enemy in the dark was so cautious that they did not show up even at this point, but just kept attacking.
"Kill one and I'll break even. Kill two and I'll make a profit! If you don't come out, I'll kill all these women."
Under the threat of death, the remaining few people finally went crazy.
They no longer cared about the importance of the woman to the general, they just wanted to force out the poisonous snake in the dark. Two of them rushed towards the unconscious He Min and others with knives.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
A few more hidden arrows shot out, and the three people who rushed out had just taken two steps when their throats were pierced by the hidden arrows.
His eyes were wide open and blood was flowing down his throat.
Until they died, they never saw where the person who attacked them was hiding.
