Swoosh!
The six assassins cooperated with tacit understanding, pulling the 'hanging blade' almost at the same time. The hooks separated, the crossbow teeth pulled back, and the taut string suddenly sprang back. Six crossbow bolts left the string at the same time.
"Go!"
Yan Suzhuan shouted and rolled to the right. When he reached the edge of the pile of goods, he suddenly leapt onto the ground. With a nimble forward roll, his entire body was already thirty feet away. He bent his back and shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. When he reached the edge of the dock, he threw himself forward without a moment's hesitation.
Thump!
His graceful figure submerged into the river. The surface of the surging ice only produced a slight splash. His figure completely disappeared into the water. He was as quiet as a virgin, but as agile as a rabbit.
The other five assassins reacted almost at the same time. After their attack succeeded, they immediately fled far away. In fact, in the past, when they succeeded in their crimes and quickly escaped, they would always bring their livelihood, the crossbow, with them. They would not be willing to abandon it. This kind of thing was not something that could be obtained at any time, especially an excellent and incomparably sharp high-grade military crossbow.
But this time, they were killing people in the territory of the Cao Gang. It was truly too dangerous. Moreover, the reward they received was enough for them to live a life of riches and honor after this success. What was the use of these crossbows? Of course it was to flee as fast as possible.
Before washing their hands in a golden basin, they would first come to the Wei River to cleanse themselves. When the last assassin also jumped into the river, the turbulent water quickly calmed down. The sparkling and translucent ice continued to collide and grind against each other as if nothing had happened.
Wei Xiaoxiao had wanted to escape as well. She had just heard from Yan Suchuan about their escape plan after they attacked. Living on Ba, she was also good at swimming. Although the water of the Wei River was bone-chilling and was a terrifying experience for someone as delicate as her, she didn't want to fuss too much about it since she was running for her life.
But while the 'Living King of Hell' Yan Suzhuan could be a hundred times more confident in his attack and immediately flee after one attack, Wei Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a bit doubtful. She wanted to personally see her enemy die. This wasn't just because she was worried, but also because of the pleasure of avenging a great hatred.
Thus, when Yan Suzhuan shouted, "Go!", her figure paused for a moment, and she glanced at her target happily. With just that one glance, she couldn't leave.
"Helmsman Shu, we can reduce our demands, but you should at least make some concessions so that we can give an explanation to our tens of thousands of brothers. We, Helmsman Dugu and Helmsman Gu, are actually very sincere in resolving the dispute through peace talks …"
Following Gu Zhuting's instructions, Li Hei was prepared to make some concessions. Dugu Wentao and Gu Zhuting, whom he'd mentioned, smiled and nodded to the Western faction leaders. Just then, six crossbow bolts flew through the air. Before the sound of arrows piercing through the air could be heard, they were already within reach.
The position Yang Fan was standing in was facing the sunlight. The light in his eyes changed slightly when the six sharp arrows flew across the sky. It suddenly aroused his vigilance, and he reacted almost without thinking.
Fortunately, the minute the arrows were released, the slight change in light caught his attention. Fortunately, his vigilance was as quick as his reaction. Otherwise, if he only noticed the arrows that could pierce through heavy armor within a hundred paces of him, he wouldn't have a chance no matter how skilled he was.
Although martial artists devoted themselves to the development and improvement of physical strength, no matter how high one's physical strength was, it couldn't surpass the speed and strength of machinery. Machinery was the crystallization of human intelligence. As the most intelligent of all creatures, humans could become the rulers of this world not because they had the enormous strength of an elephant, the ferocity of a lion, or the agility of a leopard, but because of their intelligence.
Yang Fan made his move the moment the arrows left the bowstring. They were so fast they left behind a blur in the air that the naked eye couldn't follow. Yang Fan was relying entirely on the initial fluctuations of light to make his judgment. He didn't even have time to shout a warning.
Yang Fan leaped up, like an eagle, and with a whoosh, he arrived in front of Gu Zhuting. Gu Zhuting was smiling and nodding at Shu Zixuan and the others. The light above her head dimmed. She clenched her fists and was about to counterattack in the air, but what she saw was Yang Fan. Gu Zhuting could not help but be startled.
Yang Fan's hands and feet moved at the same time. He kicked with all his might, and at the same time, he used his sleeve to grab another blur. Three arrows were fired at the same time by three people. But even if it was only a millisecond, by the time the arrows arrived in front of Yang Fan, there was still a distance of ten feet between them.
Bzzz!
Yang Fan only felt the bottom of his boots shake. Half of his leg went numb. A thin arrow could reach a speed of more than one hundred meters per second after passing through the military crossbow. It was a terrifying kinetic energy, but Yang Fan's kick still hit the arrow. The arrow deviated and pointed to the sky, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Gu Zhuting's shoulder shook slightly. A pearl fell from her earlobe.
The pearl was not big. The small beads were connected by a thin chain. This was the only ornament on Gu Zhuting's body. Normally, she didn't wear any ornaments. Today, this pair of beads was specially worn because Yang Fan came in disguise. It was just a small thought of a woman putting on makeup to please her lover.
But now, the thin chain was broken. The pearl fell to her shoulder. The wind from the arrow cut Gu Zhuting's jade-like face in pain.
Yang Fan wrapped his hand in his sleeve and stretched out his hand to grab the arrow. A shadow flashed and he caught the back half of the arrow shaft. The arrow slid through his hand. Although the sleeve was thick, it was still torn into pieces. Then the arrow flew past his palm, leaving a deep cut on his palm. His palm was badly mutilated.
But his grab was effective, especially on the wings of the arrow. It changed the direction of the arrow. The arrow that was originally aimed at Gu Zhuting's throat flew past Gu Zhuting's right arm. Gu Zhuting cried out in pain. A piece of flesh was scraped off from her shoulder. Then, there was a muffled groan behind her. The arrow had pierced through a guard's lower abdomen.
At this time, Yang Fan's strength was exhausted. He fell in front of Gu Zhuting!
The third arrow shot out like a ray of light. Yang Fan's body fell from the sky. At this time, even if a skilled martial artist stabbed him with a sword, he wouldn't be able to block it, let alone an arrow that was as fast as the netherworld. The sharp arrow pierced through Yang Fan's chest with a 'pu' sound. He was knocked into Gu Zhuting's bosom by the sharp arrow.
On the other table, Dugu Wentao was also hit by an arrow.
The powerful kinetic energy of the arrows caused Dugu Wentao's body to fiercely fall backwards. The first arrow accurately pierced through his throat, and the second arrow shot through the top of his head as he fell backwards, nearly ripping it open. The third arrow brushed past his scalp, and fortunately, it passed through the gap between two guards, disappearing into the distance across the river.
"Ah … Ah …"
Gu Zhuting looked at Yang Fan in her arms in horror. An inch of bloodied arrowhead could be seen from his back. There was a black arrow feather in front of his chest. The sharp arrow had pierced through his body. Gu Zhuting felt as if she had fallen into an icehouse. Her hands and feet were cold and her body was stiff.
She had been used to death for so many years. She would never have reacted in this way, whether she was putting someone else to death or falling into an ambush. But this was different. For so many years she had lived only to live. It was not until she had fallen in love with him, until she had been acknowledged by him, that she had lived with taste, that she had lived like a woman.
But now, her man was lying in her arms, his body pierced by a sharp arrow. Gu Zhuting wanted to call out to Ah Lang, but her voice was stuck in her throat and she couldn't make it out. Her vision turned black and she almost fainted.
All of this happened in a flash. When Yang Fan fell to the ground and Dugu Wentao fell on his back, the whole dock was silent. Everyone was shocked and didn't have time to react.
A moment later, the sound of drums was heard. The leaders of the ASEAN gangs jumped up. Those who didn't know martial arts quickly retreated. Those who knew martial arts didn't wait for the guards to come forward. They roared and pounced on the leaders of the Western Alliance. They didn't give the other side any time to explain before they started fighting.
Some of the guards outside pulled out their swords and rushed towards the pile of goods, while others tried to rush back to protect their leader. However, both sides suspected that the other side's guards were going to harm their leader, so they each took a few steps forward and shouted at each other to stop. Seeing that it was useless, they pulled out their swords and started fighting.
The scene was chaotic. On the outside, there were swords and swords flashing. On the outside, there were guards shouting and fighting. On the dock, there were punches and kicks from the leaders. Gu Zhuting held Yang Fan in her bosom. She murmured, "Ah Lang, Ah Lang …"
Tears were welling up in her eyes. Her cheeks were as white as snow.
"Get out of my way!"
Gu Da's fists were as large as bowls. The wind howled as he swung his fists fiercely to knock away the two martial arts experts hired by the other side. He leapt to Gu Zhuting's side and stretched out his hand to check Yang Fan's breathing. He shouted anxiously, "He's still breathing. Take Ah Lang to the doctor!"
"Oh! Oh! "
When she heard that Yang Fan was still alive, Gu Zhuting suddenly came to her senses. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she suddenly stood up from her cross-legged position while carrying Yang Fan. She staggered and ran. Gu Da was like a ferocious tiger released from its cage. His fists were unstoppable as he rushed in front to clear a path for her.
Gu Er and Gu San also saw the situation. They didn't want to get entangled with the others and quickly approached. The three of them formed a triangle around their little sister, who was carrying Yang Fan, and rushed out to protect her.
No one knew why Helmsman Gu was so concerned about an ordinary bodyguard, nor did they have the heart to think about it. The scene was already a mess. If they hesitated for even a moment, the other people's fists would land on their faces. Everyone was roaring and fighting to the death with the enemy in front of them. They couldn't care less about anything else.
Shu Zixuan, who was hidden in the middle of the bodyguard, jumped up and shouted, "Don't do it! Don't fall into their trap! We didn't send the assassins! We didn't send them! "
But his shout had no effect. Not to mention the fact that the leaders of the ASEAN gangs were as furious as lions, even if they still had some sense left, they would still choose to fight with the other side. Who knew if the assassin with the crossbow had another target? At this time, fighting with the other side was the safest option.
"It's Miss Wei!"
"It's Wei Xiaoxiao!"
"It's the daughter of the Heavenly Eagle Gang's leader!"
"Come down! Come down right now! "
The guards surrounding the pile of goods shouted in a stern voice. Wei Xiaoxiao slowly stood up from the pile of goods. She looked at Gu Zhuting, who was staggering away with a 'corpse' in her hands, with a bit of disappointment. She then turned her head to look at the chaotic scene of battle and that terrifying corpse, and suddenly began to laugh crazily.
What a pity, what a pity that she only killed one. But it doesn't matter, they can no longer talk peace now. That bitch betrayed her father, her allies will now go all out to kill her. Wei Xiaoxiao laughed maniacally as she pulled out a dagger and pressed it against her throat.
This crazy woman is dead. The other woman is crazy!
