Chapter 453: Wenhua Hall

Firearms, ever since Li Miao wandered the Ordinary Jianghu until now, had never appeared in Ordinary Jianghu fighting. This sharp weapon held tightly in the hands of the court appeared for the first time in a hundred years, but it was in the Forbidden City.

Boom!

Gunpowder exploded inside the cannon barrel, the huge pressure pushed the iron ball the size of a human head out, bringing a low hum, crossing a distance of hundreds of zhang and smashing toward the crowd!

Zheng Zheng Anqi had already reacted, his protective true energy instantly extended, turning into a transparent wall to block in front of the crowd.

Clang, clang, clang! ——

Several ringing sounds, the cannonballs were forcefully bounced away, flying horizontally, shattering floor tiles and walls.

Zheng Zheng Anqi retreated a step.

Blood qi surged, his face turned flushed, and was forcefully suppressed by him.

He couldn't block it.

At least he couldn't block all directions and protect everyone.

But... he was the Lord of Yingzhou, and also the Bolangsha strongman.

He might not be good at protection, but he was very good at killing.

The protective true energy deformed, gathered to his side into a giant claw, grabbed a hot, red-hot cannonball from the ground, and slowly moved it behind him. His left leg stepped out, his right leg tensed, his upper body slowly tensed like a fully drawn bow.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The second round of shelling attacked again; without Zheng Zheng Anqi's obstruction, the cannonballs the size of a human head smashed directly into the crowd. All limbs on the cannonballs' path were pierced, residual limbs and broken arms flew, and blood splashed.

A cannonball grazed Zheng Zheng Anqi's side face, his hair was scorched, his eyes had no fluctuation.

The bowstring was drawn to the limit.

The next instant—Woo!!!

As if history from a thousand years ago repeated itself, the giant claw transformed from protective true energy was like a long whip, suddenly throwing the cannonball out!

As if the process was eliminated, hundreds of zhang away, a red-barb cannon exploded, metal fragments flew horizontally, tearing the Embroidered Uniform Guards around it to pieces.

An Ziyang dodged the metal fragments attacking his face, but was still grazed by other fragments; blood splashed, and his side abdomen was torn open with a huge wound.

"Damn it."

The intense pain surged into his mind the next moment, An Ziyang's body went soft, and he knelt on the ground.

"Old monster, this works too!"

An Ziyang messily blocked the wound with his lapel, pulled his belt and pulled it fiercely!

"Ugh!"

His vision went black, and he almost lost consciousness.

"No, the arrangement here ends here."

An Ziyang barely supported himself to stand up.

At this time, the Embroidered Uniform Guards who had recovered came forward to support him.

"Battalion Commander, you—"

"Don't worry about me, continue firing!"

An Ziyang shook off the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Zheng Zheng Anqi wants to counterattack, so he can't protect the crowd. Just trade with him, see how many lives can be traded—continue firing, when Zheng Zheng Anqi approaches to thirty zhang, you all escape!"

After speaking, he staggered down the city tower and walked toward the rear.

An Ziyang's vision went black in waves; even if he had many methods, he was only at the first-rate level, couldn't regenerate flesh and blood like a Heaven-Man, the huge gap in his side abdomen almost tore his internal organs, blood soaked his belt, dripping onto the accumulated snow, forming a bloody path.

He supported himself to walk forward, counting the time silently.

Counting to three hundred, a loud noise came from behind.

He looked back, and the city tower where the red-barb cannon was placed collapsed.

This meant Zheng Zheng Anqi had broken through the Left Prosperity Gate.

An Ziyang looked back and continued forward, suddenly stumbling and falling forward.
