Chapter 296 Chu Jin, you dare!
Xiao Nanyue stared at the collapsed rear hall, bricks and flames surging wildly in his pupils.
Xiao Beicheng should have died in the sea of fire. This man whom he had called father for twenty-two years was ultimately the hatred and disaster that he could never erase in his life.
Suddenly, he leaned his sword against the ground, and his voice broke like a candle in the wind:
"Dig three feet deep into the ground...I must find Xi Yan..."
Before he could finish his words, another mouthful of blood spurted out. His body could no longer support him and he fell to the ground with a thud.
"Your Majesty!"
Han Xiao and Mo Ren hurried forward and supported his limp body.
Wherever the tentacles touched, there was blood.
It turned out that he was too eager to kill Xiao Beicheng to avenge Xiyan, and was a step late in leaving the hall. He was hit on the back by the flying wooden wedge, which obviously injured his heart meridian.
The sounds of fighting and shouting outside the mountain gate were all blurred into the last ray of light in Xiao Nanyue's consciousness - he seemed to see the beautiful lady in white clothes as white as snow, walking towards him with a smile.
Then, consciousness fell into endless darkness.
Manluo was shocked when she saw it:
"I'll send a signal right now, asking Fu Yunqing to bring his men over as soon as possible!"
Mo Ren led the way with a sword in hand, Han Xiao carried Xiao Nanyan on his back, and Man Luo stayed behind.
The three of them quickly withdrew from the back hall, but just as they walked out of the mountain gate and before they stepped onto the stone steps leading down the mountain, they found that they were blocked by countless black-armored soldiers.
The man in the lead, holding a sword, was Helian Feng.
His pair of sparkling eyes fell on Xiao Nanyan's bleeding lips, and he sneered:
"Xiao Nanyan, you have come to this day!"
His gaze was like a blade, sweeping across the faces of Han Xiao and the others:
"Hand over the military token and leave Xiao Nanyan behind, and the three of you will be spared from death."
"Don't even think about it!"
Mo Ren roared angrily, drew his sword and stepped forward, but was entangled by Mingying's chain knife.
Manluo drew her sword and stepped forward to hold Zou Yi.
Helian Feng, holding a long sword, walked towards Han Xiao step by step, because Han Xiao was carrying the unconscious Xiao Nanyan on his back.
Han Xiao was forced to retreat step by step. Helian Feng sneered:
"You ungrateful thing, then I'll let you go to hell with your master!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly swung out with the sword in his hand.
But at this moment, a yellow shadow seemed to fall from the sky, holding the long sword in his hand to block Helian Feng's sword:
"Helian Feng, you're taking advantage of someone's illness to kill them. You're a royal bloodline, but you're truly despicable!"
Fu Yunqing thrust his sword hard, and the hem of his yellow shirt rustled due to the rush.
He had just gone to mobilize the secret guards hidden in the dense forest, and hurried over after receiving Manluo's signal. Unexpectedly, he ran into Helian Feng trying to kill Xiao Nanyue. He immediately became furious and came over to stop him.
When Helian Feng saw that it was Fu Yunqing, his eyes suddenly became sinister:
"Fu Yunqing, if you hadn't aided the tyrant, how could I have been driven out of Yandu? Today, I will kill you, my dog-headed military advisor!"
Where the two swords intersected, a series of golden sounds erupted. Fu Yunqing's swordsmanship was as agile as a butterfly, while Helian Feng's moves were brutal, with his sword blade aiming for vital points.
The mountain wind blew up the smoke, wrapping the fighting figures in a blood-red mist.
At the foot of the bluestone steps, the secret guards brought by Fu Yunqing were fighting with Helian Feng's black armor army and Xiao Beicheng's death squad. Amidst the flashing of swords and shadows, people kept screaming and falling down the broken cliffs on both sides of the mountain road.
Han Xiao took advantage of the situation and carried Xiao Nanyan on his back, and under the protection of several assassins brought by Fu Yunqing, he tried to escape down the mountain.
But at this moment, a fishy wind suddenly rose at the corner of the mountain road, and a dark crowd of people swarmed in like an ant colony.
The red-robed man in the lead had flying black hair, and the snake-bone hairpin on his head gleamed slightly in the sunlight, making his flawless white face look as if covered with a layer of cold jade. There was a cinnabar mole under his eye, which gave off a bit of evil spirit.
At this moment, the man stared at the unconscious Xiao Nanyue with a half-smile, adding a bit of strange and gorgeous color to his whole face.
The person who came was none other than the Poison King Chu Jin.
"Xiao Nanyan, if I don't kill you today, I'm afraid I won't have another chance in my lifetime. Give me your life!"
He suddenly raised his hand and shot out three bone-piercing nails, directly attacking Xiao Nanyan who was carried on Han Xiao's back!
The palace's secret guards rushed forward to resist and cut off the bone-piercing nails one by one.
Chu Jin sneered and waved his hand at the assassins behind him. They drew their swords and engaged in a melee with the palace's secret guards.
Chu Jin didn't hesitate any longer, he raised his sword and rushed towards Han Xiao again, aiming the sword straight at Xiao Nanyan!
At this moment, he felt a few cold stars flash before his eyes. He hurriedly used his sword to knock them away. When he stepped back, he saw several poisonous needles scattered on the ground.
Looking up, he saw that Manluo had already abandoned Zou Yi and jumped in front of Han Xiao.
But she stared at Chu Jin, her face filled with shock and anger, her long sword pointed angrily at his face:
"Chu Jin, how dare you!"
