Chapter 402: The situation reverses, Zhang Liang appears! (Please subscribe and support!)

Clang!

Bang!

The sound of blades clashing echoed through the woods.

The group of night guards following Prince Fusu were clearly no match for the group of ambushers.

Coupled with the fact that their numbers were not very large, they were in a completely disadvantageous position.

"Brothers, protect the Young Master."

Shi Feng felt he could not just keep waiting like this.

If they continued to wait, he feared this group of black-clad men would only end up defeated.

In that case, the pressure they faced from these black-clad men would be even greater.

Before the brothers below could manage to stop him, Shi Feng drew his sword and charged out directly.

He had originally been considered a brave and skilled fighter on the battlefield.

But he had met the wrong person, encountering a superior who coveted military merit.

This led to all the great achievements he had earned being snatched away by his superior.

Over time, Shi Feng slowly lost heart in the army.

But he was unwilling to leave the army entirely, so he came here.

The attacker saw a guard rush up and a flash of contempt crossed his eyes.

The long sword in his hand thrust toward Shi Feng at an extremely tricky angle.

He wanted to let this guard see that this was not a situation they could interfere in.

A sharp light flashed in Shi Feng's eyes as he parried upward with his long sword.

He quickly dodged the attack.

His posture in striking was not particularly profound or mysterious.

It was just those ordinary, basic movements.

But it was precisely because of his proficiency in these basic movements

that the attacker opposite him was unable to break through Shi Feng's defense for a time.

Prince Fusu had originally wanted to stop him when he saw the man rush up.

This group of people escorting the grain and fodder lacked the strength; if they rushed up, they would only be throwing their lives away.

Yet he had not expected this man to have such good strength, actually able to contend with specially trained assassins.

And the anxiety on the faces of the brothers under Shi Feng's command also relaxed at this moment.

They knew their boss was the most formidable.

"Don't hold back, finish this quickly, resolve it with the fastest speed."

The leader of the black-clad ambushers said in a low voice.

The longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable their situation would become.

The group of black-clad men below clearly understood this principle as well, and their strikes became even more crisp and decisive.

Every move and every stance carried sharp killing intent.

Although the difference in strength was not great, under the crushing weight of numbers,

the guards around Prince Fusu were still quickly defeated.

These secret guards were killed one after another by the swords of the black-clad ambushers.

Watching his trump cards being killed, Prince Fusu's pupils contracted violently.

Just as a black-clad man raised his sword and charged toward him, a figure suddenly flew out from the side.

Zhang Liang, holding his sword, appeared by Prince Fusu's side.

Although he had come out following Prince Fusu, he had been in the shadows and not appearing in the open.

After all, Young Master Prince Fusu should not walk too closely with the people of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

"Young Master, are you alright?"

Zhang Liang's complexion was very ugly, and his voice was somewhat cold.

When they first set out, his senior brother had already told him that Young Master Prince Fusu would definitely encounter all kinds of trouble.

And Zhang Liang himself had actually already prepared his heart.

But when he truly encountered an assassination, Zhang Liang still could not suppress the anger surging in his heart.

This group of people truly did not hold Young Master Prince Fusu and their Confucian school in their eyes.

They clearly knew that their Confucian school had already chosen to support Young Master Prince Fusu.

It seems that after this matter is completed, he must have his senior brother thoroughly investigate what forces are behind Hu Hai.

"I am fine, let's resolve this group of black-clad men as soon as possible."

Prince Fusu had some understanding of Zhang Liang's strength.

Seeing Zhang Liang appear, Prince Fusu's expression relaxed slightly.

The group of people following around Prince Fusu had not expected that there was still a master by Prince Fusu's side.

"Just by yourself?"

The group of black-clad ambushers looked at Zhang Liang's appearance, their eyes flickering.

"To resolve you, I alone am enough."

Zhang Liang's face, which usually held a smile, turned completely cold this time.

An aura emerged from his body.

In the pitch-black woods, Zhang Liang's figure was like a ghost.

His movements were as fast as lightning.

Just as he struck, the tip of his sword had already sliced across the neck of a black-clad man.

That black-clad man fell to the ground with a thud, and there was no breath left in him.

Those black-clad men clearly did not expect this person's strength to be so powerful.

"A half-step Grandmaster."

The leader of the black-clad men said it out loud.

Zhang Liang's current strength had not yet reached the Grandmaster Realm.

But clearly, his strength had already reached a bottleneck.

"You have some discernment, but that won't save your life."

A smile appeared on Zhang Liang's face for the first time tonight.

This smile, like his eyes, carried a hint of coldness.

Subsequently, his figure disappeared once again from the clearing.

The night was his best cover.

"Two in a group, back to back, don't expose your backs."

The leader of the black-clad men decisively issued the order.

If they exposed their backs, the final result would be death.

The strength of this group of theirs, apart from his own which could reach the peak of the Master Realm,

most of the others were only at the middle level of the Master Realm.

Facing a master-level expert of the half-step Grandmaster, they could not possibly be opponents.

But their goal tonight was not this half-step Grandmaster, but Prince Fusu behind him. ===== CHAPTER 404 =====
