Chapter 458 Shadow Appears
The difference between a death warrior and a killer is that the death warriors are determined to die and will kill their targets at all costs, even at the cost of sacrificing their own lives and those of their companions. That's why they have such a strong aura of death.
In the afternoon, the sky became darker and darker. Large patches of dark clouds gathered and blocked out the sun.
The assassins on the roof jumped down with murderous aura and chopped down at the carriage!
"There are assassins! Protect the lady and the young master!"
Cui Liu shouted and all the guards drew their swords to fight. Buyan quickly took over the position of coachman and turned the carriage towards the general's mansion.
When swords met, the assassins rushed towards the carriage with ferocious momentum. Several threatening sword auras came down, as if they wanted to chop the people in the carriage into pieces.
Xu Wan quickly grabbed Zong Jincheng's hand and lowered her body to protect herself in the carriage. The sounds of fighting outside were getting louder and louder, and she was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out.
"Mom, is there someone who wants to kill us?"
Xu Wan shook her head and replied, "Mother doesn't know either."
But she vaguely felt that it might be related to Jincheng.
Zong Jincheng held her arm tighter, and listened attentively: "The carriage is moving. Are we leaving here? Or have we been taken away by someone?"
He wanted to open the curtain to take a look, but Xu Wan stopped him: "Don't open the curtain. We don't have martial arts skills. Showing up will only cause trouble. I trust the guards in our house."
This team of guards are the most elite personnel in the Marquis' Mansion. Although they cannot defeat a hundred enemies alone, they are still very powerful. Especially with Buyan and Cui Liu outside, they don't need to worry at all.
"Okay, I won't look around." Zong Jincheng responded obediently and continued to wait in the carriage, breathing tightly.
In the small carriage, mother and son held hands, giving each other a sense of security.
Not long after, Luo Jingfeng's voice suddenly came from outside: "Catch them all for me, and strangle them on the spot!"
The mouth of a dead man cannot be pried open.
Therefore, these people have no value at all in staying.
Anyone who dares to touch Cheng'er will be torn into pieces!
Zong Jincheng was the first to hear it. He shouted excitedly, "Mom, it's my uncle! Our reinforcements are here! We'll be alright now!"
Xu Wan also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "It really came quickly, just like it rushed here quickly from nearby. Did they know about it all along?"
Zong Jincheng said excitedly, "Dad and uncle must know who these people are, so they are waiting for them here. Humph, a bunch of bad guys who want to kill us, not worth mentioning at all!" He wanted to lift the curtain and go down, "I'll go and cheer for them!"
Xu Wan continued to hold him back: "Don't make trouble, wait until the fight is over before getting out of the car."
"Oh... okay, I'll listen to mom." Zong Jincheng curled his lips, feeling very sorry that he couldn't watch the excitement.
The two stayed in the carriage for a long time. They didn't know whether it was because Luo Jingfeng brought too few people or because the group of assassins were too strong, but the fighting outside continued for a long time.
After about a cup of tea, the noise outside gradually died down.
Luo Jingfeng's voice rang out from outside: "Cheng'er, it's okay. All the people have been killed."
Zong Jincheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately let go of Xu Wan's hand and jumped off the carriage excitedly. The guards were dealing with the corpse on the ground, and blood was all over the ground.
This was the first time that the little devil had seen a corpse, but he had no concept of life and death. He just thought that these assassins were bad guys and deserved to die.
Zong Jincheng counted as he walked: "There are so many assassins, at least twenty of them, no wonder the fight took so long."
Luo Jingfeng walked towards him and sneered disdainfully: "Twenty elite men, I'm afraid they have all come out in force. Today I must..."
Before he could finish his words, a man in black suddenly flew down from behind him and was seen by Zong Jincheng!
The little devil yelled, "Uncle, be careful!"
Luo Jingfeng dodged quickly, turned around with the sword in his hand and chopped at the assassin.
At this moment, Zong Jincheng suddenly heard someone groan in his ear, and blood spurted onto his neck.
Wet and hot.
"Young Master, step back!" Buyan rushed over quickly and struggled with the man in black who suddenly appeared.
They thought that all twenty assassins had been killed, but just now, a man in black tried to assassinate Luo Jingfeng, diverting their attention, and another assassin in black appeared behind Zong Jincheng.
The Dark Guard Commander was waiting for this moment.
Because this is the emperor's order, this evil creature must be killed at all costs.
This last attack was delivered with all his strength. With his speed and strength, even Luo Jingfeng couldn't block it completely.
But at this moment——
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared out of nowhere, using its flesh and blood body as a shield to block the attack from Zong Jincheng.
The assassination attempt failed.
He never had a chance to complete his mission.
All the guards rushed towards him. No matter how powerful his martial arts were, he could not withstand this group of elite chariot fighters. It was only a matter of time before he was defeated.
The whole world is in chaos.
Only in Zong Jincheng's ears was it so quiet that only the sound of one person's breathing could be heard, so rapid and yet so weak.
Zong Jincheng turned around stiffly, his chest heaving.
Until he met a strange face, a face that was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary, yet so familiar as if they had known each other for a long, long time.
"Who... who are you?"
Why would you risk your own life to protect him?
Why...has he never met this person?
This is his personal bodyguard.
His name is Shadow.
Three years ago, Shadow was sent by Xu Wan to be by the side of the Little Devil. He watched him causing trouble everywhere, but he always remembered Xu Wan's instructions: never take action until the last moment.
Now he finally showed up, with blood at the corner of his mouth.
A smile appeared on Shadow's lips, but his body fell down weakly. He looked at Zong Jincheng with a look of reluctance. They had been together day and night for three years, and even though the other party didn't know of his existence, he was full of love for this smart and naughty child.
Passed this level.
The road ahead will be smooth.
Mr. Cheng...
May you have a safe and smooth life and live a long life.
Shadow's eyes closed, and before he could even say a word, he fell into sleep forever.
Zong Jincheng fell to the ground in panic, and stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of Anying's mouth. He trembled and said, "You, don't sleep, wake up, I, we have a doctor in our house, I will get you the best doctor, I will get you a doctor, just hold on, you..."
Luo Jingfeng squatted down, felt Shadow's breathing, paused, and withdrew his hand.
Zong Jincheng asked quickly, "Uncle, how is he? Can he still be saved?"
