The ground is made of diamond, how can they dig it up easily?
Just when Mu Wenyao and the others were at a loss as to what to do with the ground, a crack suddenly appeared where the cage had been placed, then two, three, and finally, a piece of the ground fell off, and then a figure flew out.
Finally stepping onto solid ground again, Lin Jinghan immediately retracted the thousand-jin rope, ignoring the intense pain in her right hand, and stretched out her left hand to feel Sikong Zhan's pulse.
"Let me see how your poison works!"
Sikong Zhan did not refuse Lin Jinghan's kindness. He put his bleeding right hand behind his back and stretched out his left hand for Lin Jinghan to take his pulse.
"Thank goodness, Your Highness is fine." Noticing that Sikong Zhan hadn't been poisoned, Lin Jinghan knew that he had successfully resolved the conflict of internal energy. She didn't know whether to be happy or worried. Seeing Sikong Zhan's calm face, she let him go and pinched her right arm instead, baring her teeth as she did so.
"Oh, my hand is about to break. I need to find Doctor Ran to give me acupuncture treatment right away. If anything happens to my right hand, how can I use my medical skills?"
Sikong Zhan understood the importance of hands to a doctor, nodded, looked at the people lying on the ground in the distance, and ordered: "Take them away and set off immediately."
Mu Wenyao, who was standing by, finally recovered from the shock of Sikong Zhan and the others flying out. For a moment, he even forgot that the emperor's troops had not returned to the mountain. He hurried over, looked at the hole on the ground, and then looked at Sikong Zhan.
"My Lord, Princess, this ground is made of diamond gold. How did you break through it?"
Not to mention Mu Wenyao's surprise, even Ye Cangmang was horrified. He looked at Sikong Zhan as if he was looking at a ghost, and muttered:
"No, it's impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Others didn't know what was going on inside, but he, the master of Cangmang Villa, knew. Even on flat ground, it would take Sikong Zhan a lot of effort to break the diamond gold. Moreover, at such a high distance, there was no place to gain leverage. Let alone them—a person poisoned by the poison, a woman, even if the world's top masters went in, there was no way they could get out!
However, the fact is, they came out and seemed to be fine!
"Nothing is impossible with me." Sikong Zhan looked down at Ye Cangmang and said coldly, "Ye Cangmang, you dare to plot against me and hurt my people. From now on, there will be no Cangmang Courtyard in this world."
Lin Jinghan looked at Sikong Zhan in surprise: This man just took the responsibility for everything that happened inside. I wonder if he wanted to protect her or had other considerations?
"Prince Jingnan, do you think you can leave here safely?" Ye Cangmang's eyes became fierce and he made a strange gesture. Then, the sound of a mechanism opening was heard. A moment later, holes as big as arrows appeared on the walls on all sides of the yard.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Ten thousand swords were fired at once, and everyone in the yard was covered by a rain of arrows!
At the same time, the place where Ye Cangmang was suddenly collapsed, and then quickly returned to normal. Ye Cangmang disappeared in the yard without a trace.
The incident happened suddenly, and Sikong Zhan no longer cared about hiding the injury on his hand. He held Lin Jinghan in his arms and waved the sword with his right hand. The injury on his hand did not affect his speed at all. With himself as the center, he created a safe area without arrows.
The secret guards that Sikong Zhan brought here were all top-notch fighters, but under the wave after wave of arrows, they were unable to block all of them, and gradually, some of them were injured.
The injured man soon became dizzy and fell to the ground, eventually dying from the hail of arrows.
"Oh no! This arrow is poisonous!" Mu Wenyao shouted, moving closer to Sikong Zhan and saying, "Protect the prince!"
Soon, all the survivors approached Sikong Zhan.
In the yard, the person who was controlling the sharp arrow mechanism was horrified to see that none of the arrows he shot could hurt Sikong Zhan.
As early as when they were planning, they believed that Sikong Zhan was poisoned and there was no way he could get through their mechanism, not to mention the simultaneous attack of tens of thousands of swords, which was the last defense of their villa. They didn't expect that after Sikong Zhan was hit by their attacks one after another, he still had such powerful strength!
The people in control of the agency were getting anxious. You know, these sharp arrows weren't endless, and they would eventually run out. If they still couldn't kill King Jingnan by then, their operation today would be a failure!
The people on Sikong Zhan's side finally gathered together. With everyone's combined efforts, no one was injured and fell down.
Sharp arrows continued to fall in wave after wave, blocking them on all sides. They could not leave the yard, and the sharp arrows could not hurt them for the time being.
However, human power is ultimately limited. Even though they are well-trained and work together seamlessly, they are just mortals. After such high-intensity interception of arrows, their bodies and nerves are exhausted.
The situation was at a stalemate. Either the arrows would run out first, or Sikong Zhan's side would collapse and be wiped out.
"Hmph~" A secret guard ran out of energy and couldn't keep up with the speed. He was hit by a sharp arrow and fell to the ground. The people around him quickly adjusted their formation and filled his vacancy.
After their defensive circle was formed, Sikong Zhan released Lin Jinghan, letting her stay inside. She then approached the fallen secret guard, also protected within the circle, and painstakingly tended to his wounds with her only usable left hand, while using the medical space to prepare an antidote for him to take.
Soon another person was shot and fell down. The situation was getting worse and worse. The few people who were still holding on were also holding on. If the rain of arrows did not stop, they would probably be shot into a hornet's nest.
Mu Wenyao smiled grimly, and the hand holding the sword began to tremble unconsciously: "Your Majesty, if we all fall, you can use our bodies as shields..."
"You can't die without my consent!" Sikong Zhan interrupted Mu Wenyao, his eyes sharp as he looked in one direction of the yard - that direction was the direction of the control room!
At this moment, another secret guard fell to the ground, and the people next to him failed to fill the vacancy in time. The sharp arrow flew into their defense circle and shot straight at Lin Jinghan who was treating the secret guard!
"Princess!" Mu Wenyao was horrified and wanted to turn around to save people, but years of rigorous training told him that at this moment, he had to resist the sharp sword in front of him and could not move even a step, otherwise, everyone around him would be implicated by him.
Sikong Zhan heard Mu Wenyao's exclamation, but he was not moved at all. The sword in his hand did not even pause for a moment, and he continued to quickly block the rain of arrows.
"Hmph~" The sharp arrow hit Lin Jinghan's back, and she felt a sharp stinging pain in her back, but it was not the pain of an arrow piercing the flesh.
She picked up the arrow that fell on the ground and touched her clothes, only to realize that the clothes Sikong Zhan prepared for her had such strong defensive capabilities.
