Text Chapter 1277 Assassination
His reaction in the blink of an eye caught everyone's attention. There is only one word to describe it: 'amazing'. What a fast reaction!
In sharp contrast to the unpreparedness of Fu Qing, Murong Xinghua and Xu Tangran who were nearby, only Ying Wudi reacted slightly faster and suddenly threw a spear with a flip of his hand to stop the incoming assassin.
At the moment when the light of the bow and arrow shone, many people who wanted to see what Commander Niu looked like finally saw clearly at this moment. The light reflected the resolute face, cold, and unexpectedly calm in the face of life and death. !
It's too late to fire all three arrows together, so let's shoot one arrow first.
An arrow shot out with an explosion, mana surged, and the palace door behind Miao Yi collapsed. The air flow rolled out a smoke-filled hollow behind him, and the ground under his feet crackled like a spiderweb with a crash. It's nothing compared to firing an arrow in the starry sky, but the power of the spell-breaking bow is evident at this time.
The collapse of the palace gate was tantamount to cutting off Miao Yi's last escape route. The entire city guarding palace is protected by the formation. The palace gate is the only entrance and exit of the formation. Once the palace gate is destroyed, the formation immediately seals the only entrance and exit. A huge pale silver bowl cover can be vaguely seen holding the entire palace. The city guard palace faltered slightly and then disappeared.
Ying Wudi's reaction to throwing the spear was slightly faster, as he saved the process of pulling the string of the bow and arrow. However, the meteor arrow arrived last, and its speed surpassed that of the thrown spear in an instant.
"Tie the Immortal Rope!" Fu Qing shouted angrily, flipped his hand and threw a spear.
The assassin obviously did not expect that there was someone in this group of people who could react so quickly. He was only about ten feet away from hitting Miao Yi. The distance of ten feet was only an instant for the Cailian cultivator. However, this distance of ten feet For the fight, it was enough to change many things. He was stuck at this distance and collided head-on with the shooting meteor arrow.
The assassin's reaction was not slow, and he turned sideways in the air. Unexpectedly, the streamer that came towards him also suddenly turned and shot after him.
The spears thrown by Ying Wudi and Fu Qing missed the target with a whoosh. It shot straight into the sky, but was dodged by the assassin.
The meteor arrow's turn and pursuit was obviously beyond the assassin's expectation, and he couldn't think too much at this time. Seeing that the meteor arrow was about to hit him, the sword in his hand suddenly struck out. Hit the stream of light coming. Unexpectedly, the sword passed through the stream of light. It clearly hit, but it seemed to hit nothingness. The sword flashed through the stream of light.
Failed! The assassin's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he remembered something. After all, it was no secret that Miao Yi entered and exited the army of millions, and the matter of the magic-breaking bow and meteor arrows was certainly no secret either.
However, it was too late to react. A stream of light suddenly appeared in front of his chest, and an arrow made of high-purity red crystal hit his chest with a rotating black spot the size of a mung bean, breaking through his protective spell.
boom! The meteor arrow penetrated his chest directly, and a bloody hole as big as a fist was pierced in his chest, where the bright moon could be seen.
The meteor arrow bursting out of flesh and blood shot out from his back, passing through little drops of blood, and struck a fatal blow!
"Ah!" The assassin screamed and threw his hand suddenly, throwing the sword in his hand at Miao Yi like thunder.
After shooting an arrow, Miao Yi's five fingers flicked slightly, and another meteor arrow pulled the string, and the precious light flowed. Came out with a bang.
The stream of light shot out again almost missed the thrown sword. Seeing that the assassin still had the strength to fight back, Miao Yi did not block the incoming sword. Liu Guang runs towards the assassin again, wanting to kill him completely!
The assassin wanted to shoot Miao Yi, and Miao Yi also wanted to shoot the assassin. The two of them shot at each other in an instant. The thrill of this moment made countless people widen their eyes. Yun Zhiqiu and others were so shocked that they could not speak. Can't come out anymore, mouth open...
The blow delivered by Brother Cailian before his death was no small matter. Fu Qing, Ying Wudi, Murong Xinghua, and Xu Tangran all drew out their weapons to intercept him. But it was still a step slower, and only the thing in Ying Wudi's hand slightly touched the tail end of the sword that was shot. However, the opponent's cultivation level was too high, and his touch would not help at all. Instead, he was shocked and took a step back.
The four people with frightened expressions almost all tilted their heads, eyes wide open, watching helplessly as the sword shot towards Miao Yi.
boom! The body-protecting magic weapon on Miao Yi's body was instantly pierced, and it had no blocking effect at all against such a master.
Head tilt! Suddenly tilting his head, Miao Yiqi tilted his head so quickly that he didn't even have time to change the action of drawing the bow from a horse stance.
The sword that was shot almost passed between Miao Yi's left shoulder and head, almost grazing Miao Yi's neck.
Although the sword did not hit Miao Yi, the remaining power of the attack forced Miao Yi, who did not change his movements, to slide back three feet. Half of the clothes on his shoulders were torn into pieces, and half of his chest, shoulders and one arm were exposed. He fell into the air, revealing half of his strong body, and his tied hair disintegrated, drifting in the strong wind.
boom! The sword paused in the air behind, and the pale white 'bowl' holding the city guard palace upside down appeared again. The sword was embedded in the membrane wall. The sword kept trembling there, and the light on the membrane wall was wandering everywhere. Neutralize the attack power of this sword and protect the defensive palace.
The second meteor arrow came, and the dying assassin could not avoid it. He watched the meteor arrow appear and go straight to his face, with the reflection visible in his pupils.
At this moment, he remembered his contact with the superiors, who promised him a heavy reward and ordered him to kill Niu Youde directly. He knew the consequences of openly attacking the commander of Tianjie, but he didn't dare to disobey him. If he didn't obey, he would be dead, but he didn't expect that he would be dead if he obeyed...
boom! He could no longer think too much and hit his head with a meteor arrow.
At this time, Fu Qing's "Tie Xian Rope" had just made the people below take out the tie Xian Rope. Before everyone had time to make a move, the assassination ended with the assassin's body falling to the ground. And the long spears thrown by him and Ying Wudi had just made the formation covering Tianjie in the void appear for a moment, which shows how fast the fight was at this moment.
Whoosh! The two meteor arrows flew back one after another. Miao Yi caught them in his palm with one hand. His head, which had dodged by tilting his head, slowly straightened up, slowly retracted his horse stance, raised his bow and caught the arrow, and stood there with half of his shoulders exposed and his hair disheveled. Behind him was the ruins of the collapsed palace gate. Bao Lian, who had returned a step earlier, was standing inside the palace gate and looking outside in surprise.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Miao Yi. The scene was quiet with only the sound of blood flowing.
The thrilling scene just now made people amazed at Miao Yi's reaction speed, and even more amazed at Miao Yi's calmness at that moment. There was no panic at the moment of life and death, otherwise it would be unknown who would die. Everyone looked at the commander-in-chief with awe. Many people sighed secretly. He was indeed a hero who fought three times in and out of a million troops alone. He lived up to his reputation!
Little did they know that Miao Yi had no choice. At that moment, he had already used whatever he could get. He could not afford to waste any time to choose. He wanted to use the "indestructible" one, but he could only use the broken bow. He could not even shoot three arrows in a volley. He only shot one arrow in a hurry. It can be seen how urgent the situation was. The opponent was too strong and did not allow him to have too much reaction time.
Fortunately, it was at the gate of the guard palace. Not only was there a wide street, but there were also heavy soldiers to isolate him, so the assassin could not get close to the assassination, giving him a little time to react. If he had been attacked at close range like in Chunhua Qiuyue Tower, he would have been dead just now.
Yun Zhiqiu and his wives and concubines finally let go of their tense hearts, but their hearts were still beating. Fayin, who had been clasping her hands and silently chanting Buddhist scriptures to help the more than 8,000 lives, gradually put down her hands and stared with bright eyes. She initially blamed Miao Yi for being too cruel, but now she realized that others would not be polite to Miao Yi.
Ji Meili and others, who were still in shock, looked at Miao Yi, who was standing with dishevelled hair, with complicated eyes!
Although these women were raised by Miao Yi, it was impossible for anyone to have no opinion about Miao Yi's three wives and four concubines. It was only now that they realized that Miao Yi's resources to raise them were not easily obtained. It was not that they could make a lot of money by sitting in the lucrative position of the commander of Tianjie. Their comfort and ease were exchanged by Miao Yi's life. This man not only had to face fatal harm from outsiders, such as the assassination in front of him, but also had to be on guard against betrayal from his own people at all times, and for example, the joint betrayal of the five in-laws. I am afraid that he would not be comfortable with them.
Obviously, if Miao Yi had died just now, their good days in the big world would have ended!
Miao Yi stood quietly in front of the collapsed palace gate with disheveled hair, looking around coldly. He looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was also very scared. Only he knew that the place where the sword's strong wind had blown was still numb and painful.
His eyes paused for a moment on Yun Zhiqiu and others, and then continued to search the crowd to see if there were any suspicious people. He was worried that someone was still causing trouble. After all, there were many people who wanted to kill him, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to assassinate him in such a public place. His identity was the commander-in-chief who guarded a place on behalf of the heaven. It seemed that someone didn't care about the last bottom line, and even openly didn't give the face of the Emperor of Heaven. This was a very dangerous thing for him!
If even the tiger skin on his body couldn't protect himself, there would be too many people who could put him to death!
On the roof in the distance, Zhongli Kuai and the other four who had changed their clothes and disguised themselves were also very scared.
The city gate was still closed, and they couldn't get out for the time being. Who knew that just a moment after they didn't catch up, someone attacked Miao Yi. After discovering the incident, they were too far away, and even if Qian Luo wanted to stop it, it was too late. It was too abrupt.
Seeing that Miao Yi was fine, and instead killed the Cailian monk, Qian Luo nodded slightly and praised, "Good boy, this calm and responsive ability is good. It's not a fluke that you can escape a disaster!" Turning around and waving, he led the three people to jump off the roof and quickly approached the city guard palace to prevent anyone from attacking Miao Yi again.
Clang! The sword embedded in the protection array bounced to the ground, and Fu Qing and others who were looking at Miao Yi in shock in front of the collapsed palace gate came back to their senses.
"My lord, are you okay?" The fourth commander asked anxiously.
Miao Yi shook his head slightly, and his cold eyes were still searching among the crowd.
The heavenly soldiers and generals below also reacted, and a group of them immediately rushed to the assassin's fallen body, and immediately chopped the assassin's body into a meat paste with swords and guns.
"Fuck your ancestors, get out of my way!" Xu Tangran screamed, picked up a gun and jumped over, also stabbed at the chopped body, looking angrier than anyone else. (To be continued)
