Liu'er was taken aback and was about to say something when she saw many people running out of the dense forest behind them.
Upon seeing the two of them, he brandished his broadsword and slashed at them.
Upon seeing this, Lin Yan'an quickly stepped forward to shield Liu'er.
The elite soldiers scoffed, kicked the person in front of them aside, and slashed at Liu'er with their knives.
Already lacking mobility due to their injuries, the two found themselves struggling in this situation.
Especially Liu'er, whose burns were so severe that even the slightest movement caused her excruciating pain.
He watched helplessly as the broadsword was about to fall on him, and could only close his eyes in despair.
Lin Yan'an rushed towards her, pulling her into his arms and waiting for the knife to fall.
However, the expected pain did not come immediately.
Turning around, I found that there were many men in black around me.
Those people, armed with their weapons, immediately joined the fight between the city guards and the river bandits.
The bandits who had attacked them were already lying on the ground, lifeless.
Lin Yan'an and Liu'er were both stunned, staring at the suddenly appearing men in black, somewhat at a loss.
The river bandits were momentarily stunned, but the city guards reacted quickly, shouting, "Charge! The reinforcements are here! Kill those river bandits now!"
We cannot lose; the people of Weizhou are waiting for our protection.
This loud shout was clearly heard by all the city guards.
The already exhausted group worked even harder, cooperating with the men in black to fight bravely.
However, the elite troops who were originally trapped in the forest have now all escaped.
Although some soldiers were lost in the fire, they were well-trained soldiers after all. The fire and thick smoke in the forest only temporarily trapped them and did not kill everyone.
As soon as he appeared, he quickly engaged in combat with the men in black.
Zhao Cheng was somewhat surprised when he saw the men in black. After a while, he sneered, "I forgot that Lord Lu has another identity."
"I wonder how long these members of the Ink Pavilion can hold them off."
Those people from the Ink Pavilion have always been skilled in intelligence gathering and assassination. For them to openly appear here and fight against the elite soldiers trained by the Prince is nothing more than suicide.
Moreover, those men in black were too few in number to significantly change the situation; they would just be more people to be used as fertilizer.
Lu Cijian was somewhat surprised to see those people; he never expected that the people from the Mo Pavilion would suddenly appear here.
Although there are only a thousand people, these people are usually scattered in different places, so how come they all appeared here at the same time?
The tower here has long been abandoned, hasn't it? Why would we need so many people to guard it?
While he was distracted, Zhao Cheng's broadsword was already coming towards his face.
Lu Cijian quickly dodged, but a meteor hammer and a spear appeared at his side at the same time, leaving him with no way to avoid them.
Just as the spear and meteor hammer were about to strike him simultaneously, a longsword suddenly appeared from behind, quickly deflecting the spear and shielding Lu Cijian.
With a loud bang, the meteor hammer struck the man instantly.
The massive impact sent him flying several meters away in an instant.
However, the opponent quickly regained his footing and charged forward again, sword in hand.
Lu Cijian was stunned when he saw the person who came, and he felt that the sword in his hand was a little unsteady.
Zhao Cheng and his men, however, were on high alert and quickly rushed forward with their weapons.
Seeing Lu Cijian's absent-mindedness, Song Bingcheng brandished his long sword and fought with the three men while mocking, "What, after so long, you don't even recognize me anymore?"
"Why aren't you coming to help? You expect me, at my age, to deal with all these people? You really are the same as before, lacking any respect for your elders."
Lu Cijian quickly regained his senses, grabbed his longsword, and swiftly joined the battle. Although he was surprised, he remained calm on the surface. "What are you doing here?"
Song Bingcheng snorted coldly and immediately said with dissatisfaction, "I can be wherever I want, it's none of your business. But you, if I hadn't come, you would be dead here today."
If someone comes here to show off and dies, Jiang girl will marry someone else.
You rebellious disciple, you never give me a moment's peace of mind.
That's the person he's set his sights on; he absolutely can't let anyone else marry her.
He's still waiting to attend their wedding.
Lu Cijian chuckled lightly, said nothing more, and charged directly at Zhao Cheng and the others with his long sword.
Zhao Cheng was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of this person and couldn't defend himself for a while.
To deal with Lu Cijian, one must always be on guard against his sudden attacks. Now, with another person on the team, he is finding it difficult to keep up.
The two men were working together so well that they even wielded the same long sword in perfect unison. For a moment, it seemed as if they were fighting two Lu Cijians.
Especially Chen Li and the scarred man.
The two of them were no match for Lu Cijian to begin with. If it weren't for Zhao Cheng holding the line and cooperating with them, they would have been killed by Lu Cijian long ago.
Now that there's suddenly another "Lu Cijian," they feel overwhelmed, and the weapons in their hands feel incredibly heavy. They are completely suppressed by the two men.
Although Zhao Cheng did not struggle as much as they did, he was still secretly surprised.
He had thought that Lu Cijian and Jiang Yimian were working together well enough, but seeing the two of them now surprised him even more.
Lu Cijian and Jiang Yimian complement each other's shortcomings.
It's like one person plays the spear and the other the shield, both attack and defense are enhanced, making it impossible for the opponent to find a way to attack.
