Bang bang!!
With two muffled thuds, two soldiers who had just entered the room were sent flying back before they could even see who was inside. Blood spurted continuously from the holes in their foreheads.
This scene startled everyone outside.
Only then did they realize that they weren't surrounding some petty thief, but a Martial Path expert.
"Stone projectiles?"
General Fan observed with more detail, seeing the method Chen Luo used to kill his two subordinates. It was precisely because of this that he felt it was tricky.
To be able to kill with stone projectiles, one had to be at least an Internal Training Master of the Martial Path Second Realm. Judging by the depth of the wounds, this person's martial arts were probably even higher than predicted, possibly already at the Third Realm Bone Forging Level.
Bone Forging Realm Master.
General Fan subconsciously narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with murderous intent.
With such an enemy hidden in the dark, who could sleep soundly? He had originally intended to capture Chen Luo alive to question him, but now he had no such thought.
For this level of enemy, death was the most reassuring outcome.
"Set it on fire!"
His subordinates quickly retreated, and soon arrows burning with flammable oil appeared in the hands of the archers.
Just as they were about to shoot, the window on the left suddenly exploded. A large number of dark hidden weapons flew out densely.
Stone fragments mixed with pieces of the door panel arrived in an instant. The first row of archers standing at the front were hit in the chest by the wooden pieces before they could react, falling backward in large numbers.
At this moment, the first volley of arrows was also shot out. The dense arrows finally suppressed the attack from inside.
"Keep going!"
General Fan extended one hand and fiercely grabbed a stone projectile flying towards his face. The force transmitted from it made his palm numb. He had almost failed to defend against it just now, let alone the ordinary soldiers.
This was still the force of a scattered attack. If it were a one-on-one assassination, he estimated that even he couldn't block it.
Bone Forging Realm Master!
This stone had confirmed his guess. No wonder this person dared to be so bold; with the strength of the Bone Forging Realm, a small town like Qingya County was indeed like walking on flat ground.
Before they could react, another large number of brick and stone fragments flew out. Ordinary stones and wooden pieces, under the power amplification of a Third Realm Expert, were like hidden weapons, causing injury upon contact. However, there were too many people on the opposite side, and the brick and stone hidden weapons could only affect the front row. The archers behind still shot their arrows.
Thump thump thump!
Arrows shot into the house, quickly igniting the curtains inside. The fire spread at a visible speed.
Intense fire produced smoke, which quickly filled the entire room.
"Everyone fall back, be careful of the enemy's dying struggle..."
General Fan's command was not yet finished when he suddenly felt his vision go dark. A table covered in fire was swept out from inside. Following closely behind was a ghostly figure.
Bang bang bang!!!
Fast!
It was incredibly fast!
Almost in the blink of an eye, this figure had plunged into the crowd. Because of standing too close due to setting the fire, the people who hadn't had time to retreat were killed by Chen Luo as he charged out. Several archers who couldn't dodge in time were hit in the chest by his palm, flying out like straw and knocking down a large area.
"No retreating!!"
Seeing the scattering crowd, General Fan was furious.
If such an expert broke through, would there be any peace afterwards?
On the other side, Chen Luo seemed to have turned into a cold killing machine, cleverly avoiding the most concentrated points of attack each time, keeping the number of people fighting him at three. In this way, the advantage in numbers was offset by his movement technique, using more people to cancel it out.
This was an extremely advanced Combat Instinct. Chen Luo had collected over a hundred External Brains, and among them happened to be a genius in this area.
However, this method couldn't last forever. A Martial Artist in the Bone Forging Realm was still human and would eventually run out of strength. So Chen Luo killed as he went, moving closer to the edge. He had to escape the encirclement before his strength was exhausted.
Seeing this scene, General Fan drew his Iron Spear and, mixed in the crowd, thrust it towards Chen Luo. The entire process was silent; no one even noticed he had attacked, completely lacking the imposing aura of a general's strike.
The battlefield was like this; no one talked about Martial Virtue.
Any method that could kill the enemy was the best method!
Three inches to the right, heart.
Chen Luo, who had just knocked over three surrounding soldiers and was about to charge out, instantly felt a sense of danger in his mind. His body instinctively twisted. He saw an Iron Spear pierce past his face, mixed in with so many people.
He could even dodge that?!
General Fan's face was gloomy. He had already overestimated his opponent as much as possible, but he hadn't expected this person to be even more difficult to deal with than anticipated.
His Combat Instinct was almost like that of a wild beast. Logically, it was absolutely impossible to have such keen observation skills without thousands of battles. This young man didn't look like that kind of expert at all. Thus, there was only one explanation.
A genius!
"Are you the thief who killed Eunuch Wei?!" Holding the Iron Spear, General Fan didn't make another move. After one thrust, he quickly retreated back behind the crowd, giving Chen Luo no opportunity.
The soldiers nearby were also intimidated by Chen Luo's killing. Although they held swords, not a single one dared to attack proactively.
In just that short while, over a dozen of them had fallen. The lightest injuries among those who fell were broken hands and feet, while the serious ones were already dead.
"Prince Ning?"
Chen Luo's eyes flickered, and he tentatively spoke a name.
He had also guessed General Fan's identity. He was most likely the person who had entered the courtyard and was also Eunuch Wei's helper behind the scenes. Truly, I searched high and low for him, only to find him right here! As long as he killed General Fan here, he and Third Uncle would be able to live peaceful lives from now on.
"As expected, I cannot let you live!"
General Fan's expression darkened, and he instantly retreated.
"Shoot him dead! Use the poisoned ones!!"
He hadn't been talking to Chen Luo to give him a chance to rest, but rather to have the layer of subordinates outside set up a defensive perimeter.
It was just a shame that while he had a plan, Chen Luo wasn't stupid either.
Among his more than a hundred brains, the one best at escaping had already found a safe route. The section where he had fought his way out was the most dangerous. Now that he had reached this position, the situation was no longer entirely in the other side's control.
He took half a step back, then with a flash, grabbed a soldier on his left who was retreating a bit slower.
With a single twist!
With a 'crack', the soldier, who was still holding his saber, died on the spot. The saber fell to the ground and was kicked away by Chen Luo, killing another person mid-flight. The body was grabbed by Chen Luo and flung far away. Just then, the rain of arrows from outside flew over, with most of them hitting the body. Chen Luo himself used this opportunity to flash into a house on the other side of the wall that wasn't on fire.
Crash
Before the crowd could react, he broke through a window again.
After a few leaps, he vanished into the darkness, disappearing without a trace.
By the time the group of soldiers rushed over, they only saw a pile of scattered broken window frames and a black hole from which a cold wind constantly blew inwards. Seeing this, General Fan's face turned ashen!
"Chase!!"
Having reached this point, he naturally couldn't let go.
Otherwise, if the person escaped today, he would be the one to die tomorrow. Even he couldn't withstand an assassination by a Bone Forging Realm master.
Hearing this, the group of soldiers quickly chased after him.
These men, who could be brought along by General Fan, were elites, and their loyalty had been tested. Naturally, they wouldn't be scared away by a fierce bandit like Chen Luo.
