Chapter 100: Killing Out of Shengjing

Xiao Moting raised his head.

His gaze was cold and chilly, a mocking sneer rising at the corner of his lips.

They wanted to kill him to claim a reward?

Xiao Moting raised his horse-chopping saber, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

"Dabao, step back and protect the wardrobe well!"

"The rest of you, prepare for battle!"

"Let them all die here!"

The few people standing behind him drew their long swords with a swish and charged forward with roars.

Metal clashed, and blades flashed!

The alley was very narrow; the Imperial City Forbidden Army could not charge in all at once.

The Northern Frontier Army, however, occupied the geographical advantage and launched their slaughter!

The Imperial City Forbidden Army was well-equipped, possessing armor and sharp blades, making them a truly strong force, but the opponents they encountered were the even better-equipped Northern Frontier Army.

Several Northern Frontier Army soldiers wore bulletproof vests, anti-riot helmets, and iron masks, and the long-handled sabers in their hands were incomparably sharp!

"Kill!"

Qin Zhan roared sternly and charged forward with his saber raised.

The horse-chopping saber in Xiao Moting's hand danced into a blur of blade shadows, blood splashing everywhere!

Screams rang out from time to time.

——They were all the fierce roars of the Imperial City Forbidden Army.

Before long, the alley was filled with corpses; all those who died were from the Imperial City Forbidden Army.

As for the seven Northern Frontier Army soldiers, apart from suffering minor flesh wounds, they were completely unharmed.

The remaining Imperial City Forbidden Army soldiers watched in terror; the long swords in their hands could not cut through these seven "assassins" at all!

The Forbidden Army kept retreating, their faces showing panic.

Seven "iron-masked men" had actually killed fifty or sixty of their Forbidden Army soldiers!

"We can't cut them... monsters..."

"The opponents are too strong, go quickly and report to the Commander."

A few drops of blood splattered onto Xiao Moting's handsome face, his eyes icy.

Seeing the remaining dozen or so Forbidden Army soldiers trying to run.

His eyes sank, "Don't let them run, or they will go and report the news!"

Having said that, he raised his saber and leaped forward!

The Forbidden Army soldiers ran wildly in fear.

Someone shouted in panic.

"We can't cut them! Quickly go find the National Preceptor, this is the sorcery of evil people..."

Just at this moment!

Among the Forbidden Army soldiers who were shouting "evil people," one suddenly stiffened all over and let out a scream.

A blood-stained triangular military dagger pierced out from his chest!

In the night, Xiao Liujin, dressed in black, flashed past in the shadows like a ghost.

His eyes were rippleless.

"Who did you say was an evil person?"

The Forbidden Army soldier who had been stabbed opened his mouth wide, blood flowing out from it.

He fell into a pool of blood.

Seeing their companion assassinated, the crowd suddenly erupted in exclamations.

"There are assassins among them!"

"Everyone run!"

In the chaos, the torches held by the Forbidden Army fell to the ground, and the surrounding environment became even dimmer.

The remaining Forbidden Army soldiers, like stray dogs, fled in all directions.

Xiao Liujin's figure appeared and disappeared in the night.

Wherever he passed, the Forbidden Army soldiers were assassinated one after another.

When the last fleeing Forbidden Army soldier fell to the ground.

Xiao Liujin's figure walked out from the night, his voice calm and rippleless.

"Prince, the people who were fleeing have all been killed."

A look of approval appeared on Xiao Moting's face.

"After returning to Beijiang, go find Qin Zhan to claim your reward."

"Thank you, Prince."

Xiao Liujin cupped his hands, and his figure disappeared into the darkness again.

"Oh my, Liujin is amazing; Big Brother will rely on you for my retirement from now on." Xiao Dabao, carrying the wardrobe, was full of joy.

Buzz, buzz...

A strange buzzing sound came from the night sky.

"It's a drone!"

Xiao Moting's long, narrow eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at a drone flying in the night sky.

The drone flew over rapidly, with a secret letter tied to it.

Xiao Moting took the secret letter, opened it, and glanced at it.

"It is the Northern Frontier Army outside the city, sending us a map of the terrain for exiting the city."

"They are already fully armed, waiting outside the West Gate to meet us."

"The West Gate has the fewest Imperial Guard, only two thousand men; we can only go out from here."

"In one hour, it will be curfew time. By then, Meng Ming will bring the remaining fifty thousand Imperial Guard to rendezvous with Xiao Rui. With eighty thousand Imperial Guard searching the entire city, we will be even less able to leave."

Qin Zhan frowned deeply.

"That is to say, we must leave the city within one hour, otherwise..."

He stopped there and did not continue.

But the few people gathered around all understood clearly.

There were only seven of them; they could easily wipe out a hundred-man squad of the Imperial Guard.

But for seven people to break through the search of eighty thousand Imperial Guard was simply impossible.

Even if they were well-equipped, eighty thousand Imperial Guard could crush them to death just by their sheer numbers.

Xiao Dabao hesitated, "Then, shall we break through from the West Gate?"

Qin Zhan immediately denied it, "No, the Imperial Guard have special Signal Rockets. As long as they are fired, the rest of the Imperial Guard in the city will see the signal and immediately rush over."

The few fell silent.

Shengjing was surrounded like an iron barrel; wanting to get out was harder than ascending to heaven.

"Chirp—"

A shrill whistle came from the air.

Two Signal Rockets rose into the night sky, their fire illuminating the night!

The bright firelight reflected on Xiao Moting's face, outlining shadows of light and dark.

"It's the Imperial Guard's Signal Gun!" Qin Zhan's expression changed, "This squad of Imperial Guard was wiped out by us; they must have discovered something unusual and will come to investigate soon!"

Everyone's heart sank.

"They are fast." Xiao Moting's handsome face was cold and stern, "The Imperial Guard trained by Meng Ming are indeed well-trained and strictly disciplined!"

Everyone looked at Xiao Moting.

"Leave this place." Xiao Moting said in a deep voice, "The Northern Frontier Army is waiting to meet us outside the West Gate; there is no other way, we can only fight our way out. The outcome of this battle is uncertain; it all depends on heaven's will!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Dabao.

"The Goddess can only communicate with the Northern Frontier through the wardrobe; we must protect the wardrobe with all our might."

"Prince, you cannot die either!" Qin Zhan said in a deep voice, "Without you, Shennü Daren cannot communicate with the Northern Frontier! We will use our lives to send you and the wardrobe out!"

Xiao Dabao immediately unslung the wardrobe from his back and drew his Mo blade.

"Prince, please forgive Xiao Dabao for not being able to fight alongside you! You carry the wardrobe on your back, and I will go with them to protect you as you fight your way out!"

Several Northern Frontier Army soldiers shouted in a low voice.

"Swear to protect the Prince, protect the Goddess!"

Their faces were exceptionally resolute in the firelight.

For seven people to fight their way out of the West Gate guarded by two thousand men was almost an impossible task.

Their chances of survival were extremely slim!

Shennü Daren could only communicate with them through the wardrobe; she was the hope of the Northern Frontier.

They were willing to trade their lives to let Xiao Moting and the wardrobe leave Shengjing!

Xiao Moting clenched his fists tightly; he scanned the soldiers before him, intense pain flashing in his eyes.

These few people were all his brothers from the Northern Frontier.

They had grown up with him in the army, sharing life and death.

He did not want anyone to die.

But, there was no other way!

He walked to the wardrobe and told her the situation.

"Shennü Daren, Shengjing is surrounded, and we must break through the heavily guarded West Gate."

"This time, life and death are uncertain."

"But we will definitely protect the wardrobe."

City center.

Bai Wei had not yet had time to return to the village; she had just finished a plate of big plate chicken by the roadside and saw the message sent by Xiao Moting when she returned to the car.

She widened her eyes.

"Xiao Moting, you are trapped in Shengjing?"

"How did Xiao Rui know you came back?"
