Li Qianxuan’s face changed drastically.
Such a swift dart!
He couldn’t make out its trajectory.
This ant that if the dart had been aid at him, his fate would have been no different from Housekeeper Yu’s.
What’s more ruthless was that these black-clad assailants dared to strike with lethal force!
Seeing the black-clad assailants charging over, Li Qianxuan’s hands shook slightly. Steeling himself, he dropped the corpse and readied his sword to et their charge.
But soone was faster than him, zipping past him in a whoosh.
It turned out to be several team leaders and their subordinates.
They had completed their search task early, either returning to report intelligence or to await further orders.
With Diao Deyi’s whereabouts unknown, three or four team leaders and more than twenty people had already spontaneously gathered here.
They hadn’t expected to encounter an ambush by the black-clad assailants.
Gong Jihai, Zhong Xiangxiang, Cheng Guohuan, the team leaders who had just been conversing with him, had already engaged in battle with the black-clad assailants.
Li Qianxuan’s heart sank; he had no desire to be a shrinking turtle!
Indeed, there were strong fighters among the black-clad assailants, but their numbers were not large, totaling just over twenty. As long as they could hold out for ti and wait for others to arrive, or even for the Foolish Underworld patrollers in the vicinity to co, these black-clad assailants would be trapped!
So the only thing to do now was to hold the line.
He charged forward and t a black-clad assailant.
Just as he was about to make a move, the assailant struck at him repeatedly with rapid thrusts.
Clang clang clang clang clang!
Li Qianxuan parried swiftly with his sword, imdiately feeling the imnse force behind each of the assailant’s strikes. After a few exchanges, his palms tingled, and his arms began to tremble.
Such a fast sword, so heavy!
This couldn’t go on.
With a loud shout, he fended off the sword technique and counterattacked with a backhanded slash.
His sword glead with a twisting luster, containing so power, signalling Li Qianxuan’s countercharge.
However, the black-clad assailant suddenly stopped in a strange move, causing Li Qianxuan’s sword to miss, sweeping through the air in front of the assailant’s chest.
Li Qianxuan’s eyes widened, imdiately realizing that the opponent’s strength was definitely superior to his own.
Before he could ponder further, the assailant suddenly closed the gap, raising a foot.
Bang!!
A sharp pain in the chest sent Li Qianxuan flying backward, traveling over a ter, sliding half a ter upon landing, crashing into a stone lion behind him.
His throat turned sweet as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Master Li Qianxuan?!"
At the entrance of a courtyard to the side, Ning Youchun, who had just led the team back, witnessed this scene.
His expression changed, and he drew his sword rushing to join the fight.
But within monts, he too was kicked in the knee by a nearby black-clad assailant. His leg seed broken as he knelt, waving his sword in a futile attempt, unable to assist.
Looking closely at the situation on the battlefield, Foolish Underworld’s forces were being completely suppressed. One of the team leaders had even fallen to the ground, unconscious, his life hanging by a thread.
The black-clad assailants’ strength was formidable! Where did this group co from, to wield such tactics?
Li Qianxuan was shocked. Although colleagues from Peony Workshop were continuously arriving, overall they seed to be sowhat outmatched by the black-clad team.
Watching Ning Youchun, and behind him a group from Peony Workshop’s Protector team, holding weapons, looking stupefied, he imdiately roared.
"Peony Workshop, heed my command, imdiately cooperate with Foolish Underworld to take down these black-clad assailants!"
The Protectors hesitated, exchanging glances, then gritted their teeth and rushed forward, roaring.
"Hmph!"
Soone among the black-clad assailants snorted coldly, suddenly leaping into the midst of the Protectors and in the next instant...
Bang!!
With one palm strike, a Protector was sent flying three to five ters away, his heart shattered, breathless.
Another Protector swung his Sword, only to be countered with a punch from the assailant, piercing through his chest!
Drawing back his hand, he grabbed a corpse and swung it in a circle, knocking down a group of attacking Protector team mbers.
This guy?!
Li Qianxuan was stunned by the man’s ferocity.
It seed he was the leader of the black-clad assailants!
Capture the leader first.
"All my fellow team leaders listen to , that person must be the black-clad assailants’ leader. Capture him first!"
Hearing this, two of the engaged team leaders quickly shook off their opponents and sprang forth, following Li Qianxuan toward the black-clad leader.
Before they could get close, a circle of Peony Workshop Protector corpses had already hit the ground.
By the ti the three of them arrived, the ground was already littered with bodies. The black-clad leader emotionlessly withdrew his piercing hand and looked coldly at the trio.
"Seeking death!"
In a cold shout, the leader of the black-clad assailants advanced like a specter and kicked Li Qianxuan, flinging him away.
Having landed, Li Qianxuan struggled to rise.
Looking up, one team leader was down on the ground, his situation as dire as Li Qianxuan’s, while another managed to withstand around ten moves before getting his right arm broken and slapped unconscious on the head.
The attack of three team leaders was so effortlessly resolved and reversed by this one person.
His strength, at the very least, was of grass-level!
Li Qianxuan’s heart sank, but fortunately, more team mbers and Protectors from Peony Workshop poured in, managing to hold back the now murderous black-clad assailants.
However, faced with the influx of team mbers and Protectors, the black-clad leader beca even more ferocious. With every move, he claid several lives.
Looking at the other black-clad assailants, so were down on the ground, while others were still entangled in battle, their combat abilities uneven.
Li Qianxuan was contemplating the situation when it took yet another turn.
With the black-clad assailants at full strength, the incoming support from Foolish Underworld and Protectors from Peony Workshop were mostly slain or injured—the situation now controlled by the group of black-clad assailants!
