Luring the tiger away from the mountain?
Secretly crossing the river?
No matter what they did, Nightingale's current strength was too weak. Even if there were only half of the escorts left, they would not have the strength to fight back at all, let alone rescue so many people.
There was only one way for them to take the initiative in such a disadvantageous situation: to catch the bandits, first catch the ringleader.
Distracting the enemy's strength, disturbing the enemy's mind, pretending to be a secret agent to pass the order, all of these operations were just for this one attack.
As for Wei Tianqi, the three family guards who remained by his side, and the members of the garrison guards, they were all disturbed by the bad news that came one after another. None of them paid any attention to the two secret agents who brought them the news.
Nightingale was here!
The stern shout once again shocked everyone's mind. The person who had been crawling in front of Wei Tianqi, now revealed his face, his eyes staring at Wei Tianqi on the horse.
Hua Yue!
The one who bore the most important blow was Hua Yue, the strongest of the remaining members of Nightingale. Before his voice died away, he had already rushed to the side of Wei Tianqi, and with a blow in the air, he wanted to capture Wei Tianqi alive on the horse.
On the other side, Yu Ji, who had the same Three Spirits Linked as Hua Yue, did not move when Hua Yue attacked. It was not until everyone's attention was attracted by Hua Yue's shout that he quietly began to move.
One in the light and one in the dark, one in front and one in the back.
The sacrifice of raiding the Castellan's Mansion was exchanged for such an opportunity, their only chance.
Success!
Seeing that everyone was caught unprepared, and seeing that no one noticed Yu Ji's quiet move, Hua Yue's heart calmed down. He stretched out his right hand and was about to press on Wei Tianqi's shoulder.
At this moment, Wei Tianqi suddenly revealed a smile, an extremely contemptuous smile.
A brilliant light suddenly blossomed from his body. Wei Tianqi's body had already transformed into a beam of light. Hua Yue, who had been staring fixedly at Wei Tianqi and was about to slap him, suddenly felt as if his vision had turned into a vast expanse of white. This blazing beam of light almost blinded him.
He lost his eyesight in that instant, but he did not retreat. This was their only chance. Whether he was blind or deaf, his palm was only inches away from hitting Wei Tianqi, but he did not waver in the slightest. The speed and power of his palm were not affected at all.
But in the end, his palm still hit empty air. He hurriedly waved his palm and drew a circle. No matter which direction Wei Tianqi dodged to, he felt that he would still be in this circle.
He, who had temporarily lost his eyesight, did not see that Wei Tianqi, who had turned into a beam of light, had already flown up from his horse. He drew a huge arc in the air and finally rushed towards Hua Yue's back.
Judging from their previous positions, no matter how Wei Tianqi counterattacked, targeting Hua Yue's back was the most troublesome and had the lowest success rate. But he had done it, and he had succeeded very easily. This was undoubtedly to show Hua Yue and Nightingale that with his strength, it would be easy for him to deal with them.
The beam of light hit Hua Yue's back, and he immediately flew off from his horse. Wei Tianqi raised his leg in midair, and the beam of light faded. He had already sat back on his horse, and continued to look at Hua Yue, who had fallen to the ground, with a contemptuous smile. Then, his gaze swept towards Yu Ji, who was still trying to approach him.
This time, he did not attack again, and only waved his finger.
The three household guards, who seemed to have woken up from a dream, and the garrison soldiers immediately rushed towards Yu Ji like a tide.
Yu Ji fought with all his might.
The strength of a Three Spirits Connected could not be considered weak. Most of the garrison soldiers were only at the First Glimpse of the Perception Mirror, not even at the Connected realm. In front of Yu Ji, they could only be slaughtered wantonly.
But there were still three household guards among them, and their strength was not much inferior to Yu Ji's.
Yu Ji's resistance did not last for long. After killing several garrison soldiers, he was finally knocked to the ground. And the casualties of these ordinary soldiers did not even bat an eyelid at Wei Tianqi. To the mayor's residence, this was not a loss at all.
Yu Ji raised his head, and glared at Wei Tianqi, showing no intention of surrendering.
Wei Tianqi only glanced at him casually, and then waved his finger again.
A household guard raised his blade, and blood sprayed out. Yu Ji's head fell to the ground.
Even in the most prosperous capital of the Qingfeng Empire, a cultivator with Three Spirits Connected, would be a talent worth spending some effort to recruit, much less in the remote and sparsely populated Gorge Peak Region. But Wei Tianqi did not even ask a single question, and killed him with a wave of his finger.
Then, his gaze landed on Hua Yue.
After suffering an attack from Wei Tianqi's Moonlight Like Day, Hua Yue could only lie on the ground, watching as Yu Ji fought for his life, watching as Yu Ji was knocked down, watching as Yu Ji's head fell to the ground, but there was nothing he could do.
The only thing he could do was cast his furious gaze towards Wei Tianqi.
"You will not have a good ending!" he cursed. But no matter how vicious this curse was, what use was it? Wei Tianqi, who was sitting calmly on his horse, did not seem to hear him at all.
"Your plan is not bad." Wei Tianqi looked at Hua Yue, and said to himself, "But in the face of absolute power, schemes and tricks are useless."
"Senior Brother's words are really well said. Hahahaha. "Wei Tianqi laughed. Hua Yue could not help but want to rush up and twist off Wei Tianqi's head, no matter what price he had to pay. But the moment he moved, an intense pain immediately came from the wound on his back that Wei Tianqi had injured, cutting off his movement. His fists could only rub against the ground, causing them to be badly mutilated.
"If you want to die, there's no hurry." Wei Tianqi continued indifferently, "Very soon, all of you will die." As he spoke, he looked at the members of Nightingale who were chained together. Their faces were already covered in tears.
Of course, they recognized Hua Yue and Yu Ji. They were all their companions, who had luckily escaped when Nightingale was surrounded. Now, they had disregarded everything to save them, and in the end, they had also fallen into the hands of the City Lord.
"String him up too." Wei Tianqi said.
"Yes." A family guard received the order and used the iron chain to chain Hua Yue, connecting him to the team.
"And that, and that head, don't let it fall." Wei Tianqi said again.
Yu Ji, who had already been decapitated, was not let go. His head and his corpse were also chained up, right beside Hua Yue.
Wei Chao, who had rushed back with a team of people, saw this scene. He did not ask any questions, and quickly walked to the front of Wei Tianqi's horse.
"The Nightingale thieves who sneak attacked the City Lord's Mansion have all been eliminated." Wei Chao said.
"What damage?" Wei Tianqi asked.
"Two people broke into the backyard. Fortunately, the two teachers were not there, so they were not disturbed." Wei Chao said.
"Very good." Wei Tianqi nodded.
"Should we bring those people too?" Wei Chao looked at the end of the iron chain, which even had their heads strung up, and asked.
"Forget it, just these two. It's getting late, don't let my senior wait." Wei Tianqi said.
"Yes." Wei Chao nodded.
Thus, the team continued to advance towards the execution ground. Hua Yue and Yu Ji, the two with three connected souls, were experts among the Nightingale. At this moment, one was dead, and the other was injured. They were chained to the back of the team, dragged along like dead dogs.
The Nightingale people could not bear to watch, but the people from the City Lord's Mansion were wantonly bullying and ridiculing them. Many people could not help but come up to kick and spit. For many of them, the opportunity to bully an expert with three connected souls was a rare opportunity.
Wei Chao did not do these things. After receiving another report, he came to the side of Wei Tianqi's horse.
"The count is out. Three people escaped in the end, but they are not worth worrying about. The other one has not appeared yet. "Wei Chao said.
"Who?" Wei Tianqi asked.
"Disperse." Wei Chao said.
"Also a small character." Wei Tianqi said.
"She was the one who met Lu Ping on the day they entered the city." Wei Chao said.
"Right, there is also Lu Ping." Wei Tianqi seemed to have just remembered.
"Do you want to ask?" Wei Chao looked back at Hua Yue, who was being kicked like a ball.
