Chen Jie said, "Stirring up trouble? What is he, a man once punished by the Fishing Guild with the three-cuts-six-holes execution, a dishonorable fellow who killed his own brother-in-arms? Does he dare to comment on who can kill him?"
"Haha... he just wanted to provoke a rift in our relationship, criticising my brothers just now, saying how I was this and that—merely trying to incite my brothers to hate me. By causing this discord, he planned his revenge. Such scheming, do you think my brothers wouldn’t see through it?"
"Nan Batian, you really are a shameless scoundrel!"
Chen Jie pointed at Nan Batian and cursed furiously.
Elder Liu and Qimu Ge exchanged glances. Truth be told, they did feel something was off about Chen Jiusi earlier and were somewhat displeased with him. However, after hearing what Chen Jie said, they realized that they had indeed fallen for Nan Batian’s malicious plan.
Elder Liu said with sudden realization, "This old green-haired turtle deserves to be cuckolded. Carrying such cunning at this time, he still thinks of harming me, utterly shameless."
Qimu Ge also squinted his eyes and said, "Hmph, traitors to the court, everyone is entitled to execute them!"
The two then said to Chen Jiusi, "Let’s all make a move!"
Chen Jie suggested, "Thousand arrows piercing the heart, let’s not bother lifting our hands!"
Thousand arrows piercing the heart?
The two were startled, and at that moment, Yelu rode up and said, "Hahaha... Jiu Si is absolutely right. ’Thousand arrows piercing the heart’ befits Guild Leader Nan’s death. Archers, get ready!"
Although ’Thousand arrows piercing the heart’ was an exaggeration, considering the human body’s size, firing ten thousand arrows hardly seemed possible.
But a few hundred could be.
Two hundred Cavalry at that moment took their positions, armed with crossbows, aiming at Nan Batian.
The formation was ready.
Nan Batian, now exhausted and severely injured, unable to move, appeared to be at death’s door.
Now, he couldn’t dodge the crossbow arrows.
The Black Cavalry formed three rows; the first row dismounted and squatted, aiming at Nan Batian with crossbows. The second row also dismounted slightly, targeting Nan Batian, and the third remained on horseback shooting at him.
Nearly two hundred people in three rows stood ready to execute, preparing to give Nan Batian a chilling end.
Nan Batian looked at the dense crowd and crossbows before him.
His face displayed unwillingness, monstrous resentment. I had just broken through the Qi Blood Holding Core Realm, I was about to complete my grand ambitions, but why must I die, why here?
I am not willing, I cannot accept this!
Nan Batian glared with wide eyes, but regardless of his reluctance, his belief provided no solace, nor did anyone care about his thoughts. Despite his unwillingness, he couldn’t change, about to be pierced by a thousand arrows.
Qimu Ge glanced at Yelu, who nodded slightly.
At that moment, Qimu Ge raised his curved blade, "Everyone, fire!"
At his command, a thousand arrows were released.
At this moment, Nan Batian watched, bug-like arrows swarming towards him.
He involuntarily closed his eyes. Is this the end? My ambitions!
But just then, suddenly Nan Batian felt a shadow flash before his eyes. Following closely, he saw the shadow step in front of him, and the next moment, swung a Chain Blade. The chain flew into the sky, and swiftly, all the flying arrows were struck down to the ground!
Arrows littered the ground!
The arrows fell, and then the figure swiftly swung the Chain Blade, wrapping it around Nan Batian’s waist and immediately leaped into the air.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Straight up to the rooftop. Seeing this, Elder Liu roared furiously, "Who’s that thief daring to save him? Shoot him down."
As Elder Liu went after him, but just as he launched a palm strike, he saw the Chain Blade flying towards him, emitting Gang Qi from the blade, extremely frightening.
Elder Liu turned and dodged to the side.
Seeing this, Yelu furrowed his brows and bellowed, "Keep him here."
He then leaped forward, directly lunging at the rescuer.
The man responded by firing a Chain Blade directly at Yelu, who dodged by swerving his head, then, in mid-air, struck a palm towards the man.
But unexpectedly, the man swung the Chain Blade to block it.
Yelu frowned deeply, recognizing a master’s skill. He stepped on the saddle, displaying his Qinggong, and lunged forward.
Seeing Yelu pursue, the man shot a palm towards Yelu.
Yelu, noticing the man’s face covered and unable to discern his face, only saw a relatively short and slightly frail figure.
At that moment, the masked man, facing Yelu’s palm strike, also counter-struck.
With a thump, he catapulted using the force, disappearing in front of Yelu, who looked at his own palm, his expression filled with shock: "Holding Core Realm!"
How did another Holding Core Realm expert appear?
At that moment, Qimu Ge followed up and asked, "Master, what do we do?"
Yelu responded, "Chase, but be careful, he’s a master!"
Hearing this, the crowd snapped to and under Yelu’s lead, chased after.
Meanwhile, not far away on a rooftop.
Ah Da looked at the chaotic chase scene and said, "Commandery Princess, shall we join in?"
Zhao Ya replied, "No need to chase. It’s not our concern."
Hearing this, Ah Er said, "The one using the Chain Blade is also a Holding Core Realm, huh. This small Mianshui County actually has so many Holding Core Realm experts."
Ah San suggested, "Commandery Princess, shall I go take a look?"
Zhao Ya replied, "No need, wait. They will come back soon. They won’t catch him."
