Chapter 78

After escaping the prefecture office, the twelve knights were suddenly at a loss.

"Michael, what do we do now?"

The others looked at Michael one after another, their eyes full of worry.

If they had known they would encounter rebels, they shouldn't have come.

Now it was night, the city gates had long been closed, and they couldn't escape the city even if they wanted to.

But staying in the city, given the rebels' hatred for them foreigners, they definitely wouldn't have a good end in the end.

Michael really wanted to shrug his shoulders, and also wanted to say that none of you have any ideas, what ideas could I have?

But under the current circumstances, he as the chief knight had to show the responsibility he should have.

His mind turned rapidly, and his fists clenched secretly.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Go to the Chen family. The Chen family is a big capitalist in Shanyin; they must have many guards. Let's go to the Chen family; they will definitely protect us."

"Good!"

The others nodded one after another, their eyes full of excitement.

"Go!"

Without delay, they hurriedly rushed toward the Chen family.

Because they escaped in a hurry, they didn't have time to get horses, so they could only walk.

Outside the prefecture office, there were fleeing yamen runners and servants everywhere; the twelve knights had long since disappeared.

However, Yin Qi's eyes rolled, and he rushed toward the Chen family.

As foreigners, they were definitely one of the main attack targets of the rebels; the twelve knights couldn't possibly not know this, so the most urgent thing for them now was to find a reliable place to hide.

If the church were still there, the twelve knights would definitely head to the church for refuge.

And without the church, the only one in the whole Shaoxing City that could provide shelter for the twelve knights was the Chen family.

If he were one of the twelve knights, he would also decide this way.

Several minutes later.

Yin Qi finally caught up with the twelve knights; they were running wildly on the street, and fortunately, the city hadn't completely fallen into chaos, and the main targets of the Taiping rebels were still attacking various noble families.

Murderous intent flared in Yin Qi's eyes; he took a breath into his abdomen, his feet stomped hard, and his speed soared instantly.

"Who is it!"

Only when Yin Qi caught up behind them did the twelve knights finally notice.

One of the knights at the back turned his head and shouted, only to see a cold saber light tearing through the night, and the next moment it drowned his vision; he only felt a slight pain in his throat.

He subconsciously covered his throat, only to find it full of blood.

Only then did he realize he had been slashed in the throat, and a look of horror and despair appeared in his eyes.

A large amount of blood sprayed, and he felt his vitality flowing away rapidly.

"Heh heh..."

He wanted to scream, but couldn't make a sound at all.

"Ryan has been killed!"

"Bastard, there's an assassin!"

"Kill him!"

One knight was killed, and the other knights were also alarmed in an instant.

Under the dim night, they couldn't see Yin Qi clearly, only being able to barely see a person, and that samurai sword stained with blood.

Eleven against one, the advantage is mine!

Kill!

Michael shouted, and he was the first to attack Yin Qi.

The Western sword thrust out violently, and a point of sword star, like a flower of death, bloomed rapidly in Yin Qi's eyes.

Yin Qi's gaze was cold and sharp; he stomped his feet, his body shifted to the side, and he moved horizontally two or three steps—it was a horizontal shift to the front right, rushing into the crowd, brandishing the samurai sword rapidly.

Ah! Ah!

Screams rang out one after another.

Every time he swung the saber, a knight would fall.

In terms of combat power, these knights all belonged to the Bright Jin level, which could be said to be very powerful.

But Yin Qi was at the Dark Jin level, and not an ordinary Dark Jin expert, and this was night, so he could almost see in the dark, while these knights could only vaguely see his figure.

Under the absolute gap in strength and vision, they only had the fate of being slaughtered.

"Scatter, hurry and scatter!"

"Shit, go to hell!"

Watching his companions fall one by one, Michael was about to go crazy.

He chased Yin Qi, but Yin Qi seemed to deliberately ignore him, using flexible footwork to specifically kill his companions.

Several minutes later, all his companions had fallen.

After the madness, Michael also recovered his calm.

He hurriedly retreated, opening the distance from Yin Qi, and shouted: "Friend, who exactly are you, why are you chasing and killing us? We are knights of the Great British Empire!

I know you are holding an uprising to overthrow the disgusting Manchu Qing government.

If you want to succeed, I think you must need to obtain the friendship of my Great British Empire.

Otherwise, my Great British Empire will never let you go; do you want to see the uprising fall short of success?"

He used both threats and inducements, trying to bluff Yin Qi.

Yin Qi flicked his wrist, shaking off the blood on the samurai sword.

He walked toward Michael step by step, his voice calm without any emotional fluctuation, saying: "Mr. Michael, it's only been a few days; have you forgotten me?"

"Such a familiar voice!"

Michael frowned slightly, and soon his pupils shrank, revealing a look of disbelief: "You are Yin Qi?"

After finishing, he trembled all over, his heart full of fear.

He hurriedly defended: "Yin, listen to me, I never thought about being your enemy; it was all Chen, that Chen Mingxuan, who incited us to deal with you, saying he wanted to seize your family property. Yin, really, I didn't lie to you; as long as you let me go, I can help you deal with Chen."

"No need! Chen Mingxuan is probably already on his way. I'll just send you to reunite with him. On the Yellow Springs road, you two can have company!"

Before Yin Qi finished speaking, he rushed up.

The Imperial Pole Saber Technique was domineering and unparalleled; one slash down was like a heavenly saber descending, carrying endless heavenly might.

The air was torn apart, making a piercing whistling sound.

Michael felt his whole body go cold, and the surrounding space seemed to freeze; he subconsciously raised his Western sword, blocking it in front of his chest.

Clang!

The Western sword was slender and almost snapped upon impact.

The samurai sword continued to slash down without any hindrance, from the head to the abdomen, and then the whole body was split in two, large amounts of blood spilling down, accompanied by various internal organs.

Yin Qi's gaze was cold and sharp, his whole body radiating heaven-soaring murderous intent.

He didn't stop and continued toward the Chen family.

Although he had greeted Chen Yucheng, letting them focus on the Chen family, for Chen Mingxuan, this person, Yin Qi hated him to the bone; almost everything the Yin family had encountered was caused by the other party.

If Chen Mingxuan didn't die for a day, the Yin family would never have peace.

Therefore, without seeing Chen Mingxuan killed, Yin Qi would never be at ease.

More than ten minutes later.

Yin Qi ran with all his might and finally arrived at the Chen family.

At this time, the Chen family had already been breached, with fire soaring into the sky and shouts of killing rising everywhere.

Yin Qi walked into the Chen Mansion; there were people fighting everywhere, among which the most noteworthy was Shi Zhongkui fighting fiercely with a burly middle-aged man, fighting extremely fiercely.

Both were at the Great Accomplishment of Dark Jin, and both were in their prime, their blood and Qi thick.

They were completely fighting head-on, like two humanoid tyrannosaurs, not knowing how many times they had plowed the ground under their feet, and no one dared to get close within ten meters.

"The Chen family actually invited such an expert!"

Yin Qi was secretly shocked.

Transformation Energy Grandmasters are hard to find, and Great Accomplishment of Dark Jin is already enough to run rampant in the world.
