The soldiers behind Xu Denggao did not know Shang Xingjian's true identity, nor did they know that after those assassins killed the An family, they would kill them all, so they just stood there and watched coldly.
Su Wanti appeared in time. After listening to her words, Shang Xingjian and An Jing chopped off the hands and feet of several zombie warriors, and then protected the master of the An family and retreated into the yard.
The servant guarding the gate of the mansion reacted quickly and quickly closed the door, separating Xu Denggao and the soldiers outside.
But the zombie soldiers are all skilled in martial arts, and the tall gates and walls cannot stop them.
One after another, zombies climbed over the courtyard wall, entered the An family, and crazily killed people with knives.
The An family's guards know some fighting skills, but they are no match for this group of zombies.
At this moment, only Shang Xingjian and An Jing could resist.
The scary thing is that these zombies are not living people. They don’t feel pain, don’t get tired, and don’t know fear. Their numbers are still increasing rapidly. Anjia is in danger, and Shangxingjian is in danger!
"Did you hear what Miss Su said? Cut off his legs, break his arms, and behead him!" Shang Xingjian shouted loudly.
I saw several black shadows flying from all directions and landing steadily in the courtyard of An Mansion.
"Swish, swish, swish" swords and knives were flying, and the silver light was dazzling. Within a few minutes, more than a dozen zombies who jumped into the yard were killed.
The heads of those zombies were separated from their bodies, but they were not dead yet. They stared at people with empty eyes, which was extremely terrifying and made people shudder.
At this moment, the sound of fighting was heard outside the courtyard wall.
Flames lit up the sky, and weapons clashed, making clanging sounds.
The battle did not last long and fell silent in less than a quarter of an hour.
The master and mistress of the An family looked at each other, feeling extremely uneasy.
Not knowing what had happened in front of the door, they did not dare to order it to be opened.
At this moment, a cold and solemn voice sounded outside the door, "Your Highness, I have come here by order of the Grand Prince. Now that the traitor has been eliminated, please rest assured, Your Highness."
Hearing this, everyone in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief.
Shang Xingjian gestured to open the door, and the An family servant hurried forward to lift the bolt and push open the door.
Under the bright firelight, a silver-robed general stood submissively, his eyelids slightly drooped, and his hands clasped together.
Behind him were hundreds of soldiers in armor, each of them energetic, strong and with sharp eyes.
These hundreds of people were the best selected from the elite camp by Suiyuan's pacification mission in Jiangnan Road.
The patrol soldiers brought by Xu Denggao were no match for these elite soldiers. They dropped their spears and squatted by the wall with their heads in their hands.
At this time, Xu Denggao had been tied up and thrown to the ground.
And all the zombies he brought over were killed by the elite soldiers.
The elite soldiers were well-trained. They divided the bodies into four parts: head, arms, legs, and torso, and placed them in each pile.
Then they were put into sacks, loaded onto carts, and taken to the wilds to be burned.
"Grand Prince, I am late in coming to your rescue and have frightened Your Highness. Please forgive me, Grand Prince."
The silver-robed general was shocked when he saw that Shang Xingjian's clothes were stained with mud and blood, and the An family member standing behind him looked pale and disheveled. He hurriedly apologized to them.
Shang Xingjian waved his hand and said in a steady and solemn voice, "You traveled day and night to get here, and you were injured. What crime have you committed?"
The silver-robed general's face was stained with blood, and there were several sword marks on his armor.
These should be the traces left when the zombies were killed.
"Is anyone injured in the city?" Shang Xingjian asked.
The silver-robed general said, "Xu Denggao placed hundreds of zombies at the four gates of Luzhou City, east, west, and north, and ordered them to attack the civilians. I sent soldiers to count them, and there's no exact number of civilian casualties yet, but from what I've seen, there are probably no fewer than a hundred dead or wounded."
He came from the east of the city, and after entering the city, he saw a tragic scene of broken limbs and flying flesh and blood.
Some of the arms and torsos had been eaten clean, leaving only white bones without a trace of flesh and blood.
The silver-robed general was horrified and shocked. He soon discovered that the creators of this tragic scene were those assassins who looked like killing machines.
He left twenty men to strangle these assassins, and the rest followed him to An's house to rescue him.
After the silver-robed general led his soldiers to the intersection of Anjia Street, hundreds of death warriors also rushed in from all directions.
At this time, Changliu appeared and told him that these were zombies and how to kill them completely.
The soldiers were extremely brave. After getting the hang of it, they raised their machetes and killed the gathered zombies one by one, and soon cut them into pieces.
After hearing the silver-robed general's answer, Shang Xingjian's eyes showed regret and anger.
"Xu Denggao, you are truly inhumane and have no humanity at all. To create chaos in the city, you released the zombies and killed countless innocent people."
Facing Shang Xingjian's questioning, Xu Denggao said nothing. His eyes were empty and lifeless, and his body was stretched straight.
Su Wanti was standing behind Shang Xingjian, and she saw the aura of death in Xu Denggao.
She frowned, feeling something was wrong.
The next second, Xu Denggao unexpectedly broke free from the rope as thick as a child's arm. His eyes were completely black, eerie and strange, and his body swelled several times, like a paper doll paraded in the streets during the New Year.
But he is much more terrifying and weird than those paper dolls.
At the same time, his body exuded a very strong smell of internal organ corruption, and his muscles burst through the prefect's green official uniform.
The tattered silk hung in a mess on his body. He faced Shang Xingjian and made a "ho ho" sound.
"Get out of the way!" Su Wanti realized something was wrong and pushed Shang Xingjian away, but her front was completely exposed to the zombie-like Xu Denggao.
