"Not good." Wu Xiong wanted to tear his eyes apart, he only hated himself for being careless.

His subordinate died, and in a fit of rage, he forgot that protecting Wu Yuan's safety is the number one priority!

"No!"

"Young master." The other five city guard centurion commanders were anxious, but they were more than a hundred meters apart, and could only watch thirteen armor-piercing arrows shoot at Wu Yuan.

"quick!"

"Protect Young Master." The four centurions who had been closely following Wu Yuan were also shocked and angry. With their strength, if they forcefully received an armor-piercing arrow, they would also be seriously injured!

If there were only three or four armor-piercing arrows, the four of them would still have hope to protect Wu Yuan together.

But thirteen?

Almost impossible to protect!

It should be noted that once the armor-piercing arrow is shot, how terrifying is the speed? The thirteen black-armored figures have been hiding in the dark, aiming for a long time, only to hit with one blow.

It doesn't give the guards too much reaction time at all.

... "Thirteen armor-piercing crossbows, worth thousands of gold!"

"They are only protected by four in-stream masters, so they cannot be stopped."

"The one protected in the center should be Wu Yuan, shoot him directly." More than a dozen figures in black armor were staring at him, especially the burly figure in black armor at the head, full of murderous intent.

If they had attacked with armor-piercing crossbows from the very beginning, under the protection of ten high-level experts, it is very likely that Wu Yuan would survive.

Ambushes with crossbows, the first blow is the most unexpected and the hardest to avoid!

They recruited a large number of land bandits to launch the first wave of attacks. The purpose was to distract the attention of many guards, and it would be best to disperse them.

The goal has been achieved.

Only by shooting and killing Wu Yuan can the task be considered complete.

"Hoo!" "Hoo!" "Hoo!" When Wu Xiong and the others saw these black-armored ambushers, in an instant, the terrifyingly powerful armor-piercing arrows had already shot in front of Wu Yuan.

One of them, which no guards could stop, shot directly at Wu Yuan's head!

suddenly.

"Wow!"

"Wow!" "Wow!" A strange sword light lit up out of thin air, and immediately divided into thirteen, turning into a sky-filled sword light that enveloped the team that was moving forward at high speed.

"Peng~" "Peng~" The thirteen armor-piercing arrows precisely collided with the saber lights and burst one after another.

In an instant, Wu Yuan's life-and-death crisis was resolved.

Not a single armor-piercing arrow approached Wu Yuan.

"this!"

"It's him? The steward?" The four centurion guards who were about to fight for their lives looked at the incredible Gu Ji who suddenly jumped up with strong sword skills in shock!

With one blow, thirteen armor-piercing arrows were instantly shattered!

What kind of terrifying power?

Such a master was secretly sent by the sect to protect Wu Yuan?

"Everyone stop." Gu Ji's voice was indifferent, and he had jumped onto Wu Yuan's horse, holding a knife in one hand and embracing Wu Yuan in the other.

He suddenly pulled the reins of the horse, causing the horse to stop quickly!

"Hoo!"

"Woo!" The four centurion guards pulled the reins one after another.

"Young master, I will protect you, you go to help the captain and the others, and kill everyone!" Gu Ji's voice was indifferent, and the killing intent was prominent: "Remember, just leave a few alive for questioning."

"yes!"

"Kill." The four guards all cheered up, immediately turned their horses' heads, accelerated sharply, and rushed towards the gentle slope of the mountain.

At this time.

"Hoo!" "Hoo!" "Hoo!" There was a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound, and more than a dozen terrifying armor-piercing arrows struck again.

"Wow!" The knife lights up!

"Peng!

Still none of them could get close to Wu Yuan.

Gu Ji's terrifying strength is undoubtedly prominent!

There is no third wave of arrows.

Because, the first batch of guards Wu Xiong and the others to kill, the moment they noticed the black-armored men, they frantically formed an formation and rushed towards the dozen or so black-clothed figures, forcing them to discard their bows and crossbows and draw their knives. Fight!

"team leader!"

"How can there be a first-class master?"

"What should I do?" These figures in black were all terrified, they were well-trained, and they also fought against Wu Xiong and the others.

However, in terms of strength, they are far behind!

Of the dozen or so black-clothed figures, only two have the strength of third-rate masters, and the rest are only martial artists.

As for the large number of land bandits?

In the face of the terrifying strength gap, they have completely collapsed.

Especially the leader of the land bandits, after seeing the terrifying strength of 'Gu Ji', his scalp was about to explode.

"A second-rate expert may be able to avoid armor-piercing arrows, or even split three or five, but can split thirteen in an instant? Absolutely impossible!" The leader of the land bandits was terrified.

It can smash thirteen armor-piercing arrows with one knife.

At least a first-class master!

"Licheng obviously doesn't have any first-rate masters. That old guy from Dongye County is already old. Where did this master come from?"

"How could you provoke a first-class expert on this mission?" The leader of the land bandits frantically fled to the depths of the dense forest.

No more courage to fight.

If he is a second-rate expert, he can try one or two with the advantage of numbers and the armor-piercing crossbow, maybe he can win!

Can be a first-class expert?

In terms of physical fitness, they are at least three times that of third-rate masters, plus the gap in fighting skills?

Ten times the difference in strength is not enough to describe.

A third-rate master, in front of a first-rate master, would normally be instantly killed.

"Boom!" The air roared faintly.

The leader of the land bandits turned his head in horror, and saw Gu Ji holding Wu Yuan in one hand and rushing towards him at an astonishing speed.

Gu Ji stepped on the ground with one foot, the dust rose up along the way, the knife light was bright, and the fleeing land bandits fell down like mowing grass.

All necks were cut open!

He was obviously leading a person and was still killing enemies along the way, but his speed was actually faster than that of a fierce horse.

He rushed directly to the bandit leader.

"Senior, spare your life! Spare me! I have important information!" The leader of the land bandits suddenly knelt down, kowtowed, and begged for mercy.

beat? Can't beat it!

escape? Can't escape!

Only by begging for mercy can there be a glimmer of hope for survival. The leader of the land bandits does not want to die like this.

"Wow!" A terrifying knife light passed by, splitting apart in an instant.

"ah!"

The leader of the land bandits showed pain and fear, and the light of the spatula swept across his arms and thighs in an instant, breaking the tendons of his limbs and hamstrings.

He flew up in an instant and landed heavily again.

Coughing up blood.

His whole body was dripping with blood, and it was difficult to get up for a while.

"escape!"

"It's terrible, run away." Seeing this scene, the group of land bandits finally collapsed completely, without any thought of resisting, and some even threw away their weapons, only hating themselves for not running fast enough.

But.

"Puff!" "Puff!" Gu Ji held onto Wu Yuan's inner armor with one hand to protect him, but his speed was still astonishingly fast, the sword lights lit up, and a gangster fell down.

Those centurion guards also divided into four people, and they rushed to both sides of the battlefield in a tacit understanding, and they kept strangling in groups of two, chasing and killing the fastest fleeing land bandit.

Just a few tens of breaths.

The sound of screaming and killing disappeared, and the gentle slope forest was completely quiet, only the blood of the corpses all over the ground, telling how terrible the battle has been experienced here!

call!

Gu Ji finally brought Wu Yuan to a stop, and let go of Wu Yuan's inner armor, allowing Wu Yuan to land.

"Huh! Huh!" Wu Yuan panted heavily, his eyes swept over the bloody corpses on the ground, as if there was a trace of fear.

"My lord, I've surprised you." Gu Ji whispered, "It's just that if we don't kill all these land bandits, if today's news leaks out, I'm afraid it will cause some trouble."

"I understand. Thank you, Uncle Ji, for your rescue." Wu Yuan whispered, his face pale, as if trying to maintain his composure.

Gu Ji nodded slightly.

"Young master!"

"It surprised you." Wu Xiong gathered up with many bloodied guards.

Especially Wu Xiong, his face was full of fear.

"Don't blame you guys, who would have expected that a group of gangsters would have so many crossbows?" Wu Yuan shook his head and said, not blaming Wu Xiong and the others.

He does not blame.

"I hope that this kind of thing won't happen again." Gu Ji, who has always been taciturn, said in a cold voice: "Remember, our task is to protect the young master to reach the sect safely."

"Also, forget about my existence and don't mention me to anyone." Gu Ji glanced at the guards.

"Yes!" Wu Xiong and the others all lowered their heads, not daring to explain.

Wu Yuan didn't explain Gu Ji's identity, but his revealed strength already explained everything.

Besides, Wu Xiong and the others are not idiots.

The sect secretly arranged for such a master to protect Wu Yuan.

One can imagine the importance of Wu Yuan.

"This group of land bandits is weak, and it is impossible to have so many armor-piercing crossbows." Gu Ji said indifferently: "The group of men in black have obviously been trained, and most of them would rather commit suicide than surrender. A living person, hurry to interrogate and find out the reason as much as possible."

"yes."

Wu Xiong and the others quickly dispersed, some went to interrogate the few survivors, while others rummaged through the corpses, looking for clues and... property!

Bandits have a tradition of hiding property on their bodies.

time flies.

In just half a quarter of an hour, the interrogation came to a conclusion, and the land bandit leader and several other survivors were directly killed.

so far.

All the gangsters who participated in the ambush were killed!

"My lord, this is an ambush that was premeditated." Wu Xiong didn't dare to put on airs anymore, and solemnly reported: "According to what the man in the black armor said and the evidence we found from the man's body, we arranged for this The murderer of this ambush should be the 'Gui Yuzong' of Dongzhou."

"Gui Yuzong?" A trace of doubt flashed in Wu Yuan's eyes.

"The Guiyu Sect is one of the eight major sects in Dongzhou. Its overall strength is stronger than our Hengyun Sect." Gu Ji suddenly said, "If we say that the current enemy of my Hengyun Sect is the Great Jin Empire, then, Gui Yuzong is the undisputed second."

Wu Yuan nodded slightly.

Middle-earth is vast and has a long history, and the history of each state is very complicated. Although I have read a lot of classics in the past few months, I can only say that I have a deep understanding of Jiangzhou and Chuzhou.

other states? I only know roughly.

The impression of Dongzhou is that it ranks second among the thirteen states in the world, second only to the holy state occupied by the Jin Empire.

Dongzhou's area and population far surpassed Jiangzhou's.

Being one of the eight major sects in Dongzhou, the strength of Guiyu Sect can be imagined.

"We have clearly assigned a suspicious army, why did Gui Yuzong ambush it so quickly? Could it be that someone leaked the secret?" Wu Yuan frowned.

"Here, it's just an ambush team arranged by Gui Yuzong." Wu Xiong said: "According to what the Gui Yuzong disciple said, they didn't confirm which direction we would start from, so they arranged four teams Teams, ambush in different paths."

"The strength of the other three teams is no less than theirs." Wu Xiong said solemnly.

Gu Ji's eyelids moved slightly.

"Four teams?" Wu Yuan looked shocked: "Gui Yuzong secretly dispatched so many forces into Licheng?"

"Pay such a high price just to kill a special disciple of me?"

"Gui Yuzong, are you crazy?"
