Text Chapter 571: The Second Assassination

Winter nights always come very early, and Wugu City was shrouded in night early, and the lights just came on. This once-stricken city finally recovered some of its original prosperity within a few years, and the original residents were less than fifty. Wan's Wugu City, under the continuous attraction of people from various states and counties in Cangnan Province, has recovered to a population of nearly 1.5 million this winter. People come and go on the streets at night, and business travelers are endless. .

City Lord's Mansion.

Several bleak jujube trees were planted around the backyard of the city lord's mansion. The cold wind blew past, and there was a soft rustling sound from the jujube trees, and a few fragile dead branches finally couldn't survive the winter and snapped and fell down.

Xu Jiantao was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, carefully wiping the long sword in his hand with a cloth. There was a faint golden light on the body of the sword, which was the luster of the engraved scriptures. The sword, and it was sent from Lanyan City not long ago. Xu Jiantao knew that this was Lin Muyu's masterpiece, and only the talented adopted son of the former emperor could make such a perfect work. How rare is it to have a low-grade ground book integrated into one embryo, and this long sword, which may not have a second one in Lanyan City, is now in my hands.

After wiping the long sword, Xu Jiantao stepped to the center of the courtyard, sinking into the sea of ​​energy, and in a blink of an eye, streaks of fighting spirit extended from his body, and the next moment the sword light was a set of swordsmanship, and at the same time, there was a faint golden guard around him. The luster of the shield is a sign of the third level of the vajra body protection magic skill.

On the side, a guard said with a smile: "Master Governor, your vajra body protection should be able to cultivate to the fourth level in a short time, right? The governor's martial arts comprehension is one of the few in the entire empire."

Xu Jiantao couldn't help laughing: "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Commander stepped into the sanctuary at the age of twenty-six. This kind of cultivation is really one of the few. I am far away from me, and I have grown so many years."

"Haha, how can you compare with Lord Commander? He is a rare genius in the empire, otherwise, the late emperor would not have adopted him as a son. You see, Commander Feng Jixing and Commander Chu Huaimian followed. It is needless to say that the late emperor has adopted the two of them as adopted sons for many years, and the late emperor's eyes are like torches."

"That's right, the first emperor sees fire like a bird."

Xu Jiantao sighed, looked up, and saw a branch of a jujube tree falling from the sky, falling straight to the top of his head, but encountered the aura of the diamond body guard less than five centimeters away from the top of his head, and immediately shattered inch by inch!

"These annoying date trees!"

The guard said: "Tomorrow, my subordinate will order someone to cut them down."

"No need." Xu Jiantao smiled: "Keep it."

"What are you keeping them for?"

"One day we will grow old and have children around our knees. At that time, wouldn't it be a good thing to plant dates every late autumn to amuse the children?"

"Haha, what the governor said is very true, the general will be taught!"

"How is the situation in Lanyan City?"

"No big movement." The guard said respectfully.

"Um."

Xu Jiantao sat back on the stone bench again, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "When will the people who went to patrol the steel parapet come back, and how are the supplies for the steel parapet prepared?"

The guard said: "People should be able to come back early tomorrow morning, and the supply is almost ready, enough to feed and clothe a hundred thousand horses for half a month. Governor, our Cangnan Province spends so much supplies every month to supply the steel parapet, But you don’t get any rewards at all, doesn’t your lord governor feel wronged?”

"Haha, if you can block the iron hooves of the demons, what's wrong with you?"

At this moment, suddenly a chilly breath rushed over!

"Not good!"

Xu Jiantao hurriedly drew his long sword out of its sheath, and shouted in a low voice: "Call the sword guards!"

"What's wrong?!" The guard turned pale with shock.

Above the head, a cold killing intent surged, but it was a killer with a long sword in his hand. His body was full of frosty breath, and a blue icy air crashed down, blasting directly at the top of Xu Jiantao's head!

This sword energy was astonishingly strong, Xu Jiantao knew in an instant that his protective energy would not be able to withstand it, and without hesitation, he reached out and pulled out a short dagger from his waist. It soared into the sky, snowflakes fluttered around, and instantly formed a huge ice shield in front of the dagger!

Mid-grade Earth Book Embryo Ice Shield Technique!

"Boom!"

The comer's sword energy bombarded the ice shield, under the impact of force, Xu Jiantao retreated in embarrassment, the light of the dagger dimmed in a blink of an eye, and a middle-grade ground book could only block the opponent's easy blow!

"Die to me!"

The handsome face of the assassin was a bit distorted, and blood-red guru demonic energy danced wildly around his body. With the overwhelming blow of the long sword, Xu Jiantao couldn't dodge this blow. The castration was too fast, even if Xu Jiantao was No matter how fast you run, you can't dodge it.

"Buzz!"

The blade in his hand trembled rapidly, and the low-grade heavenly book was activated. Xu Jiantao felt as if all the strength in his body was about to be drained. Suddenly, his body split apart, and he reunited tens of meters behind him in a blink of an eye. The low-grade law of space book from the ground!

...

"Swipe, swipe..."

A series of cold arrows came out of the mansion, and more than a dozen soldiers of the Gendan Battalion with steel swords hanging from their waists and crossbow arrows in their hands appeared, and those arrows were blocked one by one by the assassins in the air.

Under the moonlight, the handsome face of the assassin looked very much like Lin Muyu!

And the blade in his hand also had a faint starlight, which made Xu Jiantao and others very puzzled, could this person be the murderer who assassinated Tang Lu and Tang Tian? The only difference is that at this moment, this person does not conceal his identity as a demon. The master's magic energy and demon fighting whirlwind dance wildly, holding a long sword, and descending from the sky wrapped in a powerful aura!

"Boom!"

The mansion building of the city lord's mansion, which was tens of meters away, was instantly reduced to powder, and the bodies of the three soldiers of the Gendan Battalion could not move. They were dismembered when the sword light passed by!

"Use the heavenly book to form an formation!"

Xu Jiantao shouted loudly, and everyone dispersed, and the long swords in the hands of the three guards flew into the sky with fire, which was the middle-grade heavenly book of the law of fire!

A thick whirlwind of frost was flying around Bi Bing's body, and he couldn't help sneering: "What the hell! I'm not afraid, just bring as many as you want!"

"put!"

Xu Jiantao let out a low cry.

In an instant, the three middle-grade heavenly books that recorded the divine text of "Vulcan destroys the world" were activated together, and countless fire rains fell in the air, sweeping the frost around Bi Bing.

"Um?"

At this time, Bi Bing felt the power of these three heavenly books, which was far beyond the comparison of the fire law heavenly book in Tang Lu's hand. The power of the flames penetrated into his body everywhere, burning him The spiritual power in the veins, the ice layer on the body surface was shattered and melted inch by inch, and the armor on the chest turned red in an instant, melting rapidly!

"Oh My God……"

At this time, Bi Bing finally felt the fear, his right arm had been scorched, and heart-wrenching pain came from all directions of his body!

"Bastard!"

Enduring the great pain, Bi Bing slashed out a frosty sword energy!

"puff!"

A soldier of the Long Dan Battalion who was holding a Heavenly Book Artifact Sword was cut in half immediately, and died before he could even make a scream.

"Fire the arrow!" Xu Jiantao ordered loudly.

More and more soldiers came from the mansion, and dense white diamond arrows were flying in the air. In a blink of an eye, there were at least seven or eight arrows stuck in Bi Bing's chest and arms, but the arrows did not enter. The flesh is too deep, and the bones and internal organs are not even injured. The body of the five-star demon sect powerhouse has been tempered countless times, it is too tyrannical.

Bi Bing was full of embarrassment, originally thought that he could make a miracle here and kill Xu Jiantao, but he didn't expect to be defeated by Tianshu!

With the palms raised, streaks of frost formed a swirling storm, blocking streaks of white diamond arrows. When the frost storm subsided, everyone couldn't see Bi Bing's figure. The five-star demon sect powerhouse had fled away. .

...

Xu Jiantao held the long sword with dim light. This long sword of space law allowed him to teleport once and saved his life. He stepped on the broken bricks and walked towards the courtyard. Looking at the mess on the ground, Xu Jiantao couldn't help but feel dark in his heart. With a sigh of distress, there are so many people and so many artifacts from the Heavenly Book, but they still can't kill this demon assassin.

"Governor..."

The guard on the side said bitterly: "We lost 7 people."

"Understood." Xu Jiantao looked up to the sky and sighed: "The demons have already set their sights on me, and it's all my fault. Let everyone take this risk with me."

"Governor, don't say that. We are soldiers of the empire. We can die for the empire at any time. It is better to die here than to wait to die in Lanyan City."

"I know, send Yu Shu to Lanyan City, and tell Commander Yu everything that happened today."

"yes!"

...

Three days later, in Lanyan City, a flying letter arrived at the commander's tent of Longdan Camp.

"It seems that the demons are really eyeing Xu Jiantao." Lin Muyu slapped the feather book on the table with some irritability, and said: "We can forget about the calculations of the two palace agencies, and the demons are coming... "

Situ Sen and Wei Chou pulled Yu Shu together, took a look, and looked at each other.

Situ Xue knew what happened just by taking a glance, and said with a slight smile: "My lord, Xu Jiantao guarding the Cangnan Province and providing troops, food and combat supplies for the steel wall has long been a thorn in the side of the demons. If I were As the commander of the demon clan, I will also get rid of Xu Jiantao first, and then attack the steel wall."

Lin Muyu was taken aback: "If you use General Xue's inference...doesn't it mean that the demons will soon make a comeback?"

Situ Xue was taken aback for a moment: "I... I just said it unintentionally..."

"My lord, is this really possible?" Wei Chou asked.

"The demons have been dormant for seven months. It stands to reason... they are indeed almost unable to hold back."
