"Shoot! Shoot!"
The abbot stood on the high wall, his face livid, and commanded the monks to resist at the top of his lungs.
However, although those monks had practiced some martial arts on a daily basis, how could they be a match for the elite warriors of the Xuanwu Camp who had experienced many battles?
Arrows were shot down sparsely, but were easily blocked by the soldiers with their shields.
In a blink of an eye, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Camp had set up ladders and began to climb the high walls.
"Quick! Hold on! We can't let them get up here!"
The abbot was so anxious that he was sweating and his voice became hoarse. However, no matter how he shouted, the monks' defense line continued to retreat.
Seeing that the high wall was about to be breached, the abbot was extremely anxious. Just when he didn't know what to do, several dark shadows suddenly flashed around him.
"What's going on?" A cold voice sounded, it was the killer leader of Yanyu Tower.
His eyes swept over the soldiers below like a hawk, and his face instantly became gloomy.
When the abbot saw the few people, he felt like he had found a life-saving straw and hurriedly explained:
"My Lords, these soldiers are here to look for someone, not for us! We must quickly find a way to stabilize the situation, otherwise things will be troublesome!"
"I have sent people to inform the officials with connections in Yunzhou. As long as they bring people here, this group of soldiers will be finished!"
However, the assassins of Yanyu Tower did not buy it. The leader looked at the abbot coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone:
"Looking for someone? Humph, Master Abbot, do you think we are fools? These soldiers are clearly coming for us! It seems that there is a traitor in the temple, and our whereabouts have been exposed!"
Upon hearing this, the abbot's face changed drastically and he waved his hand quickly, saying:
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! We are all family members in this temple, how could there be a traitor?"
The leader snorted coldly, ignored the abbot, turned around and whispered to the assassins around him:
"You guys, go back immediately and take the resources and statues from the building, and have these monks lead the others to hold them back!"
Several killers nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
However, at this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from the darkness!
“Whoosh!”
A javelin shot out like lightning, nailing a killer to the wall! The killer died on the spot before he could even scream.
“Who is it?!”
The assassins from Yanyu Tower were horrified and turned their heads suddenly, only to see Xia He standing under the high wall, holding a spear in his hand, staring at them with a sarcastic expression.
"You guys, are you in such a hurry to leave?"
The leader's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he whispered to the assassins around him: "Go! I'll stop him!"
"Send a message to the Lord Heavenly King!"
Several killers nodded and turned to flee.
However, how could Xia He let them have their wish?
He snorted coldly, stepped on Erpang's shoulder, jumped high, leaped onto the high wall like an eagle with spread wings, and directly blocked several killers.
"Want to leave? Have you asked me?"
Xia He held his spear horizontally, his eyes as sharp as lightning, staring coldly at the few people.
"You dare to come up here alone? You're looking for death!"
