Chapter 469: Defense

He knew that if these people could not defeat Fang Yue, he would probably die today.

"Come on, you must kill him! As long as you kill him, I will agree to your Lord's request!" Zhao Meng shouted loudly.

The masked men heard Zhao Meng's order and attacked Fang Yue even more desperately.

Fang Yue's expression became more and more solemn under the siege of the crowd.

His hands flashed with light, and he kept resisting the attacks of the masked men, but these masked men seemed to be stimulated by Zhao Meng's words, and their offensive became more and more fierce, and they actually exerted the strength of Grandmaster warriors.

Fang Yue was secretly shocked, and he didn't expect these masked men to have such strength.

While resisting the attack, he was thinking about the origins of these people.

After all, there are still many masters in the current Great Chu Dynasty.

But Grandmaster warriors are by no means everywhere.

These masked men suddenly showed such powerful strength, and there must be a mysterious force behind them.

Fang Yue's mind was running fast, guessing the possible behind-the-scenes master.

Is it a master specially recruited by the Prince of Da Chu to deal with him?

Or is there another force secretly manipulating it?

At this time, the battle became more and more intense, but Fang Yue's thoughts became clearer.

He knew that if he did not find out the origins of these masked men and the forces behind them as soon as possible, he would face more dangers in the future.

While resisting the attacks of the masked men, Fang Yue observed their moves and fighting styles.

He found that the martial arts of these masked men were very unique, which were different from the martial arts schools of the Da Chu Dynasty he had seen.

It was somewhat like the martial arts of the Da Wei Dynasty.

Fang Yue's heart trembled. If these people were really related to the Da Wei Dynasty, then this matter would be even more complicated.

There is an undercurrent under the Empress Zhu Linlang in the Da Wei Dynasty!

If these masters really came from the Da Wei Dynasty, then the Da Wei Empress, his confidante Zhu Linlang, would probably be in danger.

And the Lord mentioned by these people!

I don't know who he is!

Thinking of this, Fang Yue felt a strong worry in his heart.

Immediately, he decided not to hold back!

Fang Yue's eyes condensed, and his momentum suddenly rose.

The light in his hand was bright, and he displayed a powerful martial art.

I saw a bright light flashing like lightning, instantly hitting a masked man.

The masked man groaned, flew backwards, and fell heavily to the ground.

The other masked men were shocked when they saw this, but they did not retreat, but attacked Fang Yue more frantically.

Fang Yue was not afraid at all. His figure shuttled between the masked men like a ghost, and the attacks in his hands kept falling.

Each attack was powerful, making it difficult for the masked man to resist.

Fang Yue's speed was getting faster and faster, and his strength was getting stronger and stronger. He seemed to have turned into an invincible god of war, making the masked man feel desperate.

Under Fang Yue's fierce attack, the masked man began to retreat step by step.

Although they were numerous, they seemed vulnerable in front of Fang Yue's powerful strength.

Fang Yue attacked while keeping an eye on the surroundings.

Because at this time, he sensed a faint fluctuation of vitality locking onto him!

There are still experts in the dark!

Fang Yue's heart tightened. He didn't expect that under such a crisis, there were still hidden experts watching in the dark.

He didn't dare to relax at all. He continued to slaughter these black-clothed masters, and at the same time, he rushed towards Zhao Meng, while being alert to the mysterious fluctuation of vitality.

Fang Yue's figure was like lightning, and the light in his hands flashed. Every attack was accompanied by powerful force, making it difficult for those black-clothed masters to resist.

He rushed towards Zhao Meng at a very fast speed, his eyes full of determination and determination.

Zhao Meng was terrified when he saw Fang Yue rushing towards him.

He shouted loudly to the black-clothed masters to protect himself, but at this time, the black-clothed masters were already unable to take care of themselves under Fang Yue's attack and could not take care of him at all.

Fang Yue was unstoppable all the way and soon approached Zhao Meng.

Zhao Meng looked at Fang Yue desperately, wanting to escape but it was too late.

Or rather, with his skills, he couldn't run away at all!

Just when Fang Yue was about to catch Zhao Meng, the mysterious energy fluctuation appeared again.

A black shadow shot out from the darkness in an instant, blocking Fang Yue and Zhao Meng.

Fang Yue stopped and looked at the black shadow that suddenly appeared vigilantly.

The black shadow was shrouded in darkness and his face could not be seen clearly, but from the powerful aura emanating from him, it can be judged that he is an extremely powerful master.

"Who are you? Why do you want to stop me?" Fang Yue asked coldly.

The black shadow was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I can't let you kill him."

Fang Yue frowned and said: "He aided and abetted the evil and endangered the Great Chu. I must kill him."

The black shadow said: "Although he was wrong, it is not wise to kill him at this time. He may still be useful and can lead us to the master behind him."

Fang Yue's heart moved, thinking about the words of the black shadow. After a moment, he said, "Who are you? Why do you know so much about the Lord?"

The black shadow sighed slightly and said, "I have had encounters with the Lord before, and I know how terrible his conspiracy is. Now that the Great Chu is in danger, we must act with caution."

Fang Yue looked at the black shadow, his eyes full of doubt: "Why should I believe you? Maybe you are also the Lord's man."

The black shadow shook his head: "If I were the Lord's man, why would I stop you from killing Zhao Meng? I just want to find a way out for Da Chu."

"This reason is not enough!" Fang Yue shook his head.

Fang Yue stared at the black shadow, the light in his hand flickered slightly, ready to deal with possible emergencies at any time.

"Unless you can provide more powerful evidence to prove that you are not in the same group as the so-called Lord, and you are really thinking about Da Chu."

The black shadow was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I know some secret bases of the Lord, these places hide the key clues of his conspiracy. If I were the Lord's man, how could I reveal these to you?"

Fang Yue's heart moved, but he still did not relax his vigilance.

"Just knowing some bases is not enough for me to fully trust you. You still need to prove that you have the determination and ability to fight against the Lord."

The black shadow seemed helpless. He raised his hand slightly, a hideous wound was revealed, and then a unique breath emanated.

"This is the aura left by the wound I suffered when I fought against the Lord, and it has not completely dissipated. I have been looking for an opportunity to stop the Lord, but I have always been alone. Now that I meet you, perhaps we can fight him together."

"Of course, in addition to this, there is also this person's head!"

Then, a head was thrown over.

Fang Yue took a look and found that it was another target of his trip.

Prince Cheng's chief strategist!

Fang Yue was shocked and looked at the head with a complicated look in his eyes. He didn't expect the black shadow to act so quickly and actually bring this person's head.

Fang Yue was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "You have indeed shown your determination and ability. Okay, I can not kill this man today."

The black shadow breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Now our top priority is to use Zhao Meng to lure out the Lord and completely solve this hidden danger."

"Lord? Who is this person?"

The black shadow pondered for a moment and said: "The true identity of the Lord is extremely mysterious. I only got some clues in several confrontations with him. He seems to have great ambitions and wants to overthrow the Chu Dynasty and the Wei Dynasty and establish his own rule."

Fang Yue frowned and said: "Such a mysterious person must have a powerful force and a careful plan. How can we successfully lure him out and defeat him?"

"That naturally depends on Zhao Meng! As long as the Lord shows up, I will notify you at that time. We will work together and we will definitely be able to end him!"

After a brief discussion, Fang Yue disappeared into the darkness.

It was not until there was no movement here that the city guards attracted by the noise dared to enter the street.

The city guards carefully stepped into the street that had just experienced fierce fighting. Looking at the mess and the fallen masked men, they were shocked.

They searched for clues everywhere, trying to figure out what happened here.

The leader of the city guards frowned and said to his men: "Check carefully to see if there are any important clues. This battle is too strange. We must report it to the higher-ups as soon as possible."

The men nodded and began to search more carefully. At this time, a soldier suddenly shouted: "Sir, there is a strange mark here!"

The leader walked over quickly, looked at the mark pointed by the soldier, and fell into deep thought. "This mark has never been seen before. Could it be related to the person behind this battle?"

Just as the city guards were confused, a black shadow quietly appeared on the roof not far away, silently observing their every move.

At the same time,

The residence of Prince Cheng of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Prince Cheng sat in the study with a gloomy face. He listened to the report of his subordinates and learned that the chief strategist was killed, and a surge of anger surged in his heart.

"Who has the guts to kill my adviser? And General Zhao Meng is missing!" Prince Cheng asked angrily.

The subordinates were trembling with fear and dared not speak.

Prince Cheng thought for a moment and said sternly: "Investigate and find the murderer. If the murderer cannot be found within three days, you will be beheaded!"

The subordinates were nervous when they heard Prince Cheng's order, and they quickly responded:

"Yes, Your Majesty! We will do our best to find the murderer."

Then, they quickly retreated and began to organize people to conduct a large-scale search in the city.

Prince Cheng sat in the study, his face terribly gloomy.

He knew that this matter was no small matter, not only related to his face, but also likely to affect his position in the court.

Even now, the time has come to reveal the dagger.

He lost his left and right arms, so it would be no different from fighting for the throne.

Prince Cheng paced back and forth in the study, feeling anxious.

He understood that now that he had lost his chief strategist and general Zhao Meng, his situation in the fight for the throne had become extremely grim.

"We must find the murderer as soon as possible to save the situation."

Prince Cheng thought to himself. He began to carefully analyze the current situation, thinking about possible clues and countermeasures.

Prince Cheng thought of the strange mark, and he felt that this mark might be a key clue.

He decided to send someone to investigate the origin of the mark to see if he could find the murderer's trace from it.

At the same time, the subordinates who were searching in the city were also busy and nervous.

Fang Yue quietly returned to the Princess's mansion, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He knew that the complexity of this incident was far beyond imagination. The mysterious lord was like a dark cloud hanging over the Chu and Wei dynasties, and could trigger a huge storm at any time.

When the eldest princess saw Fang Yue returning, her face showed concern. "How's it going?" she asked softly.

Fang Yue frowned slightly and told the eldest princess what happened in detail.

After hearing this, the eldest princess' expression became solemn.

"Who is this Lord? He has so much energy."

Fang Yue said in a deep voice: "It's not clear yet, but what is certain is that his ambition is extremely ambitious, and his level of harm is higher than that of the two princes. We must find a countermeasure as soon as possible."

The eldest princess nodded slightly and said: "This matter is indeed difficult. The black shadow said that using Zhao Meng to lure the Lord away, I don't know if it is feasible."

Fang Yue thought for a moment and said: "At present, it seems that this may be our only chance. But we cannot completely rely on the shadow, and we need to be prepared with both hands."

The eldest princess frowned slightly and asked, "Then do you have any specific plans?"

Fang Yue said slowly: "On the one hand, we will continue to secretly investigate the strange mark to see if we can find clues to the Lord; on the other hand, we will pay close attention to the movements of the black shadow, and as soon as there is news about the Lord, we will immediately prepare Ready for battle."

The eldest princess nodded in agreement: "Okay, as you said. But in this process, we must also be careful to avoid falling into the Lord's trap."

After Fang Yue and the eldest princess completed their discussions, they immediately took action.

Fang Yue sent his cronies to collect information about the strange mark, while he was always paying attention to the movements around him, waiting for news from the black shadow.

At the same time, Prince Cheng's subordinates searched around the city, but never found any clear clues about the murderer.

And just when they were about to continue searching.

However, Prince Cheng issued an order for them to return to the military camp and not leave without authorization.

Although Prince Cheng's subordinates were full of doubts, they could only obey the order and quickly returned to the military camp. They didn't know why Prince Cheng suddenly issued such an order, but they didn't dare to disobey it.

In the study, Prince Cheng looked at the person in front of him solemnly.

Standing in front of Prince Cheng was a man in armor. He bowed slightly, waiting for Prince Cheng's instructions.

Prince Cheng looked at the man in armor in front of him and said slowly: "This incident is not trivial. The power behind the mysterious lord is unknown, and he may also be involved with the Wei Dynasty. Now my chief adviser has been killed, and the general Zhao Meng is missing and the situation is extremely unfavorable to us. "

The man in armor raised his head and said resolutely: "Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries for you. But how should we deal with it now?"

Prince Cheng frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "That strange mark is a key clue. Continue to send people to secretly investigate its origin. At the same time, strengthen the guards of the palace and military camps to prevent enemy sneak attacks. In addition, pay close attention to the movements of all forces in the city. Movements, especially those of Fang Yue and the mysterious shadow."

The man in armor took the order and said: "I will obey the order. Don't worry, Your Majesty, the General will do his best to protect the safety of the Prince and the palace." (End of this chapter)
