Despite being an enemy, Zaun had to admire him. When this man wasn't fighting, he seemed like a quiet, handsome man, but once he drew his gun, he exuded a fierce and indomitable aura. He truly was "charging forward with no retreat! Determined to fight to the death!"

His marksmanship was clearly honed through countless battles and countless deaths.

Zu An's heart sank. The siege crossbow, the broadsword formation, the short man's golden mace, and this man's marksmanship all bore too many traces of the military.

Was it really the Qin family who attacked him? How are Chu Yan and You Zhao, caught in the middle, supposed to cope?

However, he had no time to think about these things, because the man with the gold and silver rings also made his move. His gold and silver rings appeared and disappeared unpredictably, attacking Yun Yuqing's vitals from all angles. At the same time, the assassins also used the broadsword formation to squeeze the target's dodging space.

Yun Yuqing's expression was solemn as her slender fingers quickly formed hand seals and wrote in front of her. Soon, flashing runes appeared in the air in all directions.

"Be careful, don't let her form a formation!" The man with the gold and silver rings was both shocked and furious. He tried several times to attack the runes in the air to destroy the formation, but the runes seemed to be invisible, allowing his gold and silver rings to pass straight through them.

However, the surrounding energy was clearly starting to stir, and the increasingly chilling atmosphere indicated that these runes were not fake; the opponent was gathering a terrifying attack.

No wonder people are so wary of rune masters; their attack methods are so mysterious and unpredictable that they are impossible to find.

However, he did not despair. His initial panic and rage disappeared, and instead, a strange smile gradually appeared on his face.

He looked in a certain direction and shouted sharply, "Launch!"

Almost as soon as he spoke, a huge beam of dark light shot out from the pavilion next to him, appearing in front of Yun Yuqing with terrifying force.

He had deliberately acted flustered and helpless just now in order to gradually force the other party to this angle.

Clearly, with so many experts attacking together, even a high-level rune master was forced into a trap without realizing it.

Although rune masters have many tricks up their sleeves, their bodies are much weaker than those of normal cultivators. If they are hit by a siege crossbow that can even blast through a city gate reinforced with runes, they probably won't be able to use any of their skills.

Yun Yuqing's expression also changed drastically. In fact, she had been focusing most of her attention on setting up the surrounding formation. She had already drawn half of the last rune. Once the formation was complete, these people would be powerless to turn the tide.

But unexpectedly, something went wrong at this crucial moment!

She had already done a great deal of work by dodging the desperate attacks of these experts, and now that her strength was exhausted and the siege crossbows were too fast, she had no time to dodge.

"My life is over!"

She instinctively turned her head to look at the corner of the wall, wanting to see that man one last time before she died...

Huh, where did he go?

Are you looking for me?

Just then, a gentle voice rang in her ears, and she felt herself being embraced in a warm embrace, while the terrifying siege crossbow just brushed past her.
