The ancient path leading down the mountain has been repaired over many years. Although it is not wide, it is relatively smooth.
The sudden, sharp blade pierced through the sedan chair, causing it to overturn and tilt to one side. Xiao Rou was both shocked and frightened, losing her ability to think for a mere half-second.
She lurched toward Jiangcheng, and the two were about to fall to the ground due to inertia.
"Snap—"
Jiang Cheng reacted instantly, a cold blade appearing in his hand in an instant. He slashed open the side curtain of the sedan chair, grabbed Xiao Rou, and rushed out.
After the field of vision is widened.
Xiao Rou looked down in a panic, still dumbfounded.
There were scattered lights illuminating the surroundings. The sedan chair drove onto a suspension bridge with an iron plate underneath and thick chains on both sides. There was a lamp every ten meters.
Four masked people lay sprawled on the ground, some with knives piercing their hearts, others with half their heads severed.
Blood gushed outwards.
A dozen or so people dressed in uniform, their faces covered by bronze masks, surrounded the entire suspension bridge.
The atmosphere was extremely tense.
His cold, piercing eyes, brimming with murderous intent, were fixed on Jiang Cheng and Xiao Rou, the knife in his hand already poised to strike.
"There's an assassin!!!"
Only then did Xiaorou realize what was happening. She screamed in terror, her legs kicking wildly like a frog escaping a pond, but there was nothing beneath her feet, and she was standing in mid-air.
She was even more astonished.
It felt like a dream, so I rubbed my eyes.
This...it really is flying in the sky!
It was a good eight feet away from the suspension bridge.
Jiang Cheng glanced coldly at the assassins below. With a wingspan of four or five meters, his streamlined silver-gray wings had a high-tech feel, and his azure engine emitted a ghostly glow. He held Xiao Rou's waist with one hand, and an ice blade in the other.
Such a bizarre scene.
No matter how battle-hardened the assassins below were.
How many times have I crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood?
He was completely stunned at this moment, his eyes filled with astonishment, his emotions changing rapidly, and his brows furrowing deeply.
"What happened?"
"Wasn't it supposed to be that Demu Jiaxian was inside?"
"I think the intelligence is wrong, let's retreat!!"
The group exchanged hushed conversations.
Apart from the glass lamps, in the pitch-black night, Jiang Cheng, standing silently in the sky, was terrifying beyond measure. He was like a creature from a higher-dimensional world that had suddenly descended to a lower-dimensional one, radiating light from his entire body.
These assassins were actually here to ambush Demuk Jiaxian?
Jiangcheng has captured crucial information.
A look of doubt appeared in his eyes.
This is the second time he has revealed his true form since he devoured the Heart of the Universe. He has traveled a long way on the path of life's evolution. Now his intelligence is about twice that of Einstein, his brain development has reached 40%, and he has mastered most of the laws of the universe.
Now that these things have been seen, he absolutely cannot let these people go, otherwise the plan will be ruined, and this dream world may completely collapse.
"Cover us, we're retreating!" one of the men with a more neutral voice growled.
Then the two people next to them looked at each other and read the emotions in each other's eyes.
Despite their shock, they still cooperated seamlessly, climbing the suspension bridge chains in a few quick movements. Using the downward pressure, they leaped down, pressed their knives down, and delivered a fierce and decisive upward slash!
The blade flashed, drawing a perfect semi-circle.
Just like the half-moon in the night sky.
The clouds were also tinged black by the night, occasionally obscuring one or two stars.
Despite the pincer attack, Jiang Cheng showed no emotional fluctuation. He was completely unconcerned, and his silver wings wrapped around Xiao Rou, protecting her firmly within them.
"Clang!"
The steel knife struck the surface of this rare metal, flashing dazzling sparks, but not even leaving a white mark.
Extremely hard.
The next second.
His silver wings opened again, revealing Jiang Cheng's face. He looked down at the people from his high position and could easily read the fear in their eyes.
He didn't even say another word.
The hurricane roared up in an instant, carrying countless feathers that fell from the sky and hurtled down.
The arrow-like attacks flew at extremely high speeds, seemingly with eyes, heading straight for the assassins below, accurately piercing the heads of one after another.
And only a faint bloodstain was left on his forehead.
This shows how sharp the feathers are.
In the blink of an eye, the area below was littered with corpses.
Xiao Rou stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the scene; the bizarre events of the night were completely beyond her comprehension.
First, assassins, who appeared out of nowhere, attacked their sedan chair as they descended the mountain, killing the mute man who carried it.
Then Minglingye suddenly transformed into a monster even more terrifying than the assassins below.
She turned around, trembling, swallowed hard, and glanced at his face out of the corner of her eye, not daring to look him directly in the eye, for fear that this great demon might kill her if he was displeased.
"Please, please don't kill me, please..." she prayed in her heart again and again.
I couldn't help but shed tears.
For some reason, faced with overwhelming shock, she felt an urge to cry, her heart churning like a raging storm.
Suddenly.
She felt herself falling rapidly.
He hurriedly closed his eyes.
With a "thud," it landed on the suspension bridge in less than two seconds.
Jiang Cheng left her there for the time being, but Xiao Rou felt a sudden release around her waist. She looked down and saw that she had been let go.
