Chapter 496 Must kill!
"Cold and fierce!"
King Yan came back to his senses and moved as fast as lightning, reaching Leng Jue who was lying on the ground in just a few steps.
Leng Jue fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, and he was no longer breathing.
Of the two arrows that hit him, one hit him right in the heart.
"ah!"
"ah--!"
Prince Yan hugged Leng Jue's limp body tightly, feeling heartbroken and grief-stricken.
Once again, he watched his brother die in front of him.
He didn't die on the battlefield, but in a shameless assassination.
"Your Highness, this place is not safe, we have to leave!"
After confirming that the five killers were completely dead, the accompanying Whirlwind Guards quickly returned to King Yan and whispered a reminder.
"I won't leave!"
"Send a signal and call someone!"
"Today, I will go on a killing spree!"
Not long ago, he was still telling Leng Jue that he would help him find a match, but less than a quarter of an hour later, Leng Jue turned into a cold corpse.
"kill!"
Before the Tornado Guards could release the fireworks to call for help, many people poured out of the shops on both sides of the street.
These people were also wearing black clothes and masks, and holding in their hands were the imperial court's autocratic crossbows.
Crossbow arrows rained down.
It covers the area where Prince Yan and the Cyclone Guards are.
"Your Highness, let's go!"
The four whirlwind guards protected the King of Yan with their bodies, using their bodies as shields to block all the crossbow arrows for the King of Yan.
However, this is not the end!
As for the other Whirlwind Guards, they swung their swords with all their might, trying to block the flying crossbow arrows, but of course it had no effect.
In close combat, the lethality of the repeating crossbow is unstoppable except by the most skilled experts.
Even a tough guy like Xu Laoer could only use cowhide felt as a shield to protect himself when facing a crossbow.
By the time the killers' crossbows had run out of fire, there were no living Tornado Guards left on the streets.
Of course, before all the Whirlwind Guards died, two fireworks were released to ask for help.
…
Inside Prince Yan's mansion, Princess Yan also saw the fireworks rising into the sky asking for help.
"Let all the guards in the mansion go out immediately!"
Although Princess Yan had already made up her mind to do whatever the prince did, the premise was that the prince had to be alive. If the prince died, she would definitely be sent back to Huai'en Temple again.
She had been to Huai Enguang once, and this time she would rather die than go in again.
So, when she saw the fireworks calling for help from the Tornado Guards, Princess Yan chose to rescue them.
The place where Prince Yan was attacked was not far from Prince Yan's Mansion.
The guards from Prince Yan's Mansion arrived quickly.
At this moment, the assassins who were surrounding the King of Yan were slowly approaching him, who was being protected by the Whirlwind Guards. They had no idea whether the King of Yan was dead or alive, and their crossbows had already been fired into the air.
"superior!"
Someone among the assassins shouted.
In an instant, several assassins rushed forward and reached out to pull the body of the dead Whirlwind Guard.
And at this moment, King Yan took action.
His body flashed by like a light and shadow, and he grabbed an assassin's throat with one hand, exerting force with his hand and directly crushing the opponent's throat.
Then, the King of Yan snatched the knife from the assassin's hand, swung the knife, and in an instant, the blade cut the throats of several assassins in one stroke.
"die--"
The Prince of Yan acted like a madman and instantly charged into the crowd of assassins. No assassin could withstand a single blow from him.
When the knife comes out, it will either cut the throat or the arm.
"Crossbow!"
Among the group of assassins, the voice that had issued the order before rang out again.
So, an assassin took out a crossbow and tried to lock onto the King of Yan's position. However, the King of Yan was too fast to be locked onto.
“Shoot!”
The voice sounded again.
This time, the assassins ignored their companions who were fighting with Prince Yan and fired in a blanket manner.
The crossbow arrows were still raining down, but at the moment the crossbow arrows were fired, Prince Yan had already left the battle and rushed into the shop next door.
The volley of crossbows did not kill the King of Yan, but instead helped him kill many of their own people.
"withdraw!"
Seeing guards from Prince Yan's Mansion rushing towards them from the other end of the street, the leader of the assassins had no choice but to order an evacuation.
But he wanted to leave and was not allowed to do so because the Prince of Yan rushed out again.
The King of Yan was also injured at this moment.
There was a crossbow bolt stuck in his shoulder.
He was covered by the crossbow arrows just now. Although he decisively withdrew from the battle, he was still hit by the flying crossbow arrows.
"All of you die!"
At this moment, King Yan didn't care how badly injured he was. He just wanted to keep all these assassins here.
The person who killed him wanted to leave so easily. Did he think his title as King of Yan was fake?
“Let’s fight!”
Seeing that Prince Yan was not giving in, the leader of the assassins could not help but roar.
As this person said this, someone carrying a huge thing appeared at the end of the street.
Eight Ox Crossbows!
Not one, but two.
On the streets of this capital city, two military-used eight-ox crossbows for defending the city appeared!
Seeing this scene, not only the King of Yan, but everyone felt that it was unreal.
The guards from Prince Yan's Mansion rushed over, charging straight at the black-clad assassin. At the same time, the soldiers from the Imperial City Department also accelerated their arrival.
The people in the Imperial City Bureau knew best what the fireworks of the Whirlwind Guards around Prince Yan meant when they called for help.
Of course, not only the people from the Imperial City Bureau were rushing over, but the Yulin Guards and the female guards around the Grand Princess were also speeding over here.
Soon the huge crossbow arrows from the Eight Ox Crossbow were shot out.
An arrow hit a guard of the Prince of Yan's Palace, tearing his body apart. He continued to shoot, hitting the second and third people...
The second crossbow arrow was much more accurate, killing four assassins who were trying to kill King Yan. However, the huge shaft of the crossbow arrow hit King Yan.
The King of Yan was hit by the arrow shaft and lost his balance due to the huge force, so he was cut on the arm by the assassin next to him.
Seeing that Prince Yan was injured, the killers rushed over like crazy.
They had been planning this assassination for a long time.
If this fails, then it will take forever to kill the King of Yan. Once the King of Yan has reorganized the Tang Dynasty's northern and southern camps and thirty-six guards, who in this world can stop the Tang Dynasty's prosperity?
Therefore, King Yan must die!
This assassination was carried out not only by killers from the underworld, but also by four sharpshooters from the Northern Barbarians.
Unfortunately, the sharpshooter's fatal shot was ruined by Leng Jue's collision.
“Fight your hardest!”
Seeing that the number of guards at Prince Yan's Mansion was increasing and the number of his own men was decreasing, the leader of the assassins could not help but let out a shrill roar.
However, the defeat was disastrous.
Even if there is a powerful weapon like the Eight Ox Crossbow to swipe the enemy, this thing cannot distinguish between friend and foe!
Just when the leader of the assassins felt that the assassination was going to fail, two rows of archers appeared on the houses on both sides, and a rain of arrows covered the King of Yan who was fighting with the assassins.
