Pfft—
A muffled thud was heard!
A celestial blade fell from the night sky, viciously piercing Wu Yuchuan's crown. Suddenly, it was pried open by a force, and blood splattered all over Shen Xihai.
The surrounding guards hadn't even reacted yet.
The second Heavenly Blade pierced through the back of Tong Yun's neck, who was standing next to Wang Fang.
His eyes widened in disbelief. He clutched his throat, his whole body trembling. Blood gushed from his wound, and bubbling blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. With all his remaining strength, he uttered a hoarse, "Extraordinary..."
He died on the spot.
Wang was shocked, half of his cheek was stained red with blood, and he immediately threw himself into the flower bushes at his feet.
The guards were all veterans, and each one was well-trained and ready to fight. Bullets sprayed continuously in the direction from which the two knives flew, and gun muzzle flashes erupted!
Shen Xihai reacted a fraction of a second slower, but was still tackled from behind by the guards to protect his body.
At the same time, after the third knife slashed his right shoulder, it spun around and arced through the throats of the other two guards who were firing their guns into the air.
puff!
puff!
Two sounds!
Blood spurted out, and the person collapsed to the ground.
A dark shadow suddenly emerged from the void, its black blade sweeping over a guard and crushing his head with a single stomp.
The next second, while being hit by two more rifle bullets, the man rushed forward and punched a burly man through the chest. The man was wearing bulletproof plates, but he was powerless against this punch.
In an instant, bullets rained down on the burly man from all sides, making 'thud thud thud' sounds as he was hit, and blood flowed throughout the garden.
He was used as a human shield, thrown forward, and two guards fell to the ground on the spot.
"Come with me!"
Amidst the flowers, a guard reacted just as quickly as Wang Fang, rushing into the flowerbed as the throwing knife fell.
Seeing that things were not going well, he grabbed Wang Fang and ran wildly toward the west gate.
"Sir! We'll cover you!"
Upon seeing this, Wang Fang's subordinates, whom he had brought from Sand Castle, rushed towards the dark figure one by one.
The guards' bullets were fired in the wrong direction, and two of them were shot down as they rushed forward.
Shen Xihai lay trembling at the back, his face deathly pale. The guard who had just protected him had also been killed by a flying knife, and was placed under Shen Xihai, making him too afraid to move.
A hissing sound came from the radio. Shen Xihai, his hands trembling, snatched it and said in a deep voice, "The West Courtyard has been attacked! Bring the troops to rescue me immediately!"
As they were talking... the muffled sounds of fighting in their ears had stopped.
It took Shen Xihai two seconds to react.
He turned his head and looked through the gap under the armpit of the corpse on his back.
The dark figure stood in the courtyard, its azure eyes, like jewels, gazing silently at him.
The courtyard was filled with corpses, piled up to the ground level, and blood flowed like a river.
The boots slapped against the pool of blood. A hand tossed the corpse aside. Shen Xihai gripped the handrail tightly, staring at him with a face full of terror.
"Wait...wait! You're here for Wang Fang, right? I know where he's going, I'll tell you!"
Click!
With one foot, along with Chen Xihai's palm, he crushed the handheld device he was holding.
"Aaaaaah!" Shen Xihai let out a scream filled with excruciating pain, followed by a wave of dizziness.
Qin Che said calmly, "Lord Shen, the leader of Sandcastle sends his greetings."
"Who...who exactly are you..." Shen Xihai asked, enduring the pain.
“I come from Shabao Black Street. I am a friend of Chen Fusheng and Sha Qingsui, and an enemy of yours.”
"You are Qin Che! The extraordinary... Qin Che!!"
Bang!
As soon as Shen Xihai finished speaking, everything went black before his eyes, and he fainted.
When the guards who were observing from the front line arrived at the West Courtyard with a group of soldiers, Shen Xihai had already disappeared. Apart from Wang Fang and one guard, everyone else, including Wu Yuchuan, was dead.
“Something terrible is about to happen…” one of the guards said, his lips trembling.
The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.
Soon, the small building was breached by the army. The unit suffered heavy casualties, with only 30% of the 100-200 men escaping back. They dispersed and quickly disappeared into the night of Xibao.
Following closely behind, officers and commanders from the police force, security forces, fire departments, and military camps arrived at the embassy.
Their faces were grave as they gathered in the west courtyard of the Shen residence, watching this horrific scene unfold.
Among the crowd, Meng Jingyuan led a group of subordinates out of the crowd. He was expressionless as he surveyed the scene of the incident. At the same time, one of his subordinates was pushed out. He was the guard who had just helped Wang Fang escape. Beside him, Wang Fang was still alive, but his eyes were unfocused, and he looked deeply shocked.
Meng Jingyuan asked him, "You must have seen everything that just happened."
Wang Fang nodded, then shook his head: "He was too fast. Secretary Wu was the first to die. A knife flew down from the sky and blew his head off. Then my deputy, Tong Yun, was killed by a knife through the back of his neck."
"Didn't you see anyone?"
Wang Fang stared blankly, then shook his head: "No...no, oh no, I saw it."
Meng Jingyuan frowned and asked, "Did you see it or not?"
“I saw him, I saw him… He emerged from the darkness, with a pair of bright blue eyes. He moved very quickly. Even in this courtyard, surrounded and fighting against many, I couldn’t see his location. He was flashing around.”
Meng Jingyuan's expression grew increasingly grim...
He gave Wang Fang a meaningful look and fell into deep thought.
Immediately, he issued orders to the department heads and officers present: "Properly handle the scene. Take all of these back for autopsies. The police should thoroughly search the west wing to see if there are any other clues. Quickly seal off the west fort as fast as possible, allowing entry but not exit. Also, find out the origin and identity of the decoy unit in the small building. If they can still be rescued, do everything you can to save them. The breakthrough lies with them."
"yes!"
All the officers responded in unison.
Meng Jingyuan grabbed Wang Fang's shoulder and said, "As for you, come with me to see Lord Yuan, now!"
Wang Fang was startled and said, "We're going to Wall Number One right now?"
"Right now."
...
A car drove away from the chaotic scene, with Meng Jingyuan sitting in the back seat, his expression stern.
A young man sitting in the passenger seat chuckled, "Extraordinary, huh? Impressive, isn't it?"
"When I was in Sandcastle, I didn't know his background, but now I can tell that he is proficient in movement and manipulation, and is at least a dual-elemental sorcerer. He is very strong."
"You plan to take him to see Lord Yuan now? But the Lord has not yet conveyed his wish to see him to us."
"Not now. I plan to take him inside the walls to take shelter first. West Fort is very dangerous right now."
Meng Jingyuan coldly glanced at the person beside him who was staring blankly at the car window, his face full of sorrow.
The young man in the passenger seat sneered, then turned to look around. "Will he be following us?"
Meng Jingyuan: "If that's really the case, don't worry about me. Take him and leave first. With your techniques, even the extraordinary can't do anything to you."
"I don't like hearing that."
The young man's smile remained unchanged, but a glint of blue light flashed in his eyes. In an instant, the entire car they were in became completely invisible in the pitch-black night.
