Murong Xue raised her eyebrows, and causally kicked up a block under her feet, which was severely shot at the back of Su Nanxiang. Then came a sound of ‘plop’ as Su Nanxiang fell down to the ground. The feather arrows in her shoulders bumped into the ground, and thoroughly stabbed her shoulders. A miserable shriek “Ah !” resounded through the skies.
“You deserve it!”
Murong Xue glanced at her scornfully, unwilling to pay any attention to her. Murong looked up into the sky, only to find that dense arrows were shot to the ghosts and wooden snakes by the imperial guards.
Without girls as shields, the ghosts and wooden snakes were instantly pierced by arrows. They fell down to the ground one after another, and broke into pieces ……
Seeing the mess on the ground, Cang Qiong, who was standing in the air for observing the fighting, slightly narrowed his eyes. “The Emperor of Qingyan Kingdom has taken defense, and thus it’s impossible for the wooden snakes to grasp any person as a shield to block arrows. I should change my strategy once again. ” Cang Qiong ordered, “All wooden snakes, fly higher once more, and the higher, the better !”
“Yes, sir!” the ghosts accepted the order, and immediately flew the wooden snakes higher. The sounds of ‘whoosh’ came as all wooden snakes flew to the sky rapidly until they were out of shooting range of the arrows!
Seeing those wooden snakes out of range, imperial guards stared at each other, feeling puzzled. “Aren’t those wooden snakes her to kill us? Why did they fly so high? How can we kill them if they are out of reach? Or are they still conspiring?”
While the imperial guards were still confused, the wooden snakes suspending in the sky suddenly took action and violently threw down plenty of unknown black objects.
“Bang, bang, bang!” Came the explosive sound of unknown objects after they fell down to the ground. Debris scattered everywhere, coupled with smoke dust. After the blast, huge pits were found in the ground. Thick smell of gunpowder rapidly spread in the air!
The commander of the imperial guards suddenly narrowed his eyes, and shouted, “It’s gunpowder. Dodge quickly!”
“Yes, sir!” Imperial guards hurriedly looked for shelters here and there. The civil officials, aristocratic women, and girls protected by them also hurriedly trotted after them. The whole square fell into disorder again.
Wooden snakes suspended in the sky from top to bottom. ‘Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh’ came the sound from the wooden snakes while they recklessly threw down gunpowder to bomb the square frantically.
Under the protection of guards, the Emperor and Empress rapidly entered a relatively safe corner.
Murong Xue, Ouyang Shaochen, Yuan Fangfei and Mu Liufeng also took quick steps to shield themselves behind a stone wall. Through the carved interspace on the stone wall, they looked out quietly.
Gunpowder was thrown onto the square one after another. High stages, golden chairs and tables were blown up; fruits were scattered on the ground; and the whole square was blasted into chaos.
Murong Xue frowned as a response. She was about to speak when a package of gunpowder was thrown down to the stone wall where they hid.
“Watch out!” Ouyang Shaochen’s guard was up in an instant. He stretched out his arms and pulled Murong Xue towards him. Then he suddenly flicked his jade-liked fingers, and his powerful internal force was violently shot to the gunpowder package.
“Bang!”, came the explosive sound of the gunpowder package from the above, which was deafening. Heads and bodies of those people were scattered with smoke dust and debris.
Being in a towering rage, Yuan Fangfei waved her hands so as to scatter smoke dust quickly, and cursed in rage, “What a ruthless bastard! Neither did we rob away his wife, nor did we dug up his ancestral graves. Why did he send so many ghosts and wooden snakes to encircle and suppress us. It seems that he will not stop until all of us are slaughtered .”
Mu Liufeng looked up at the dense wooden snakes in the sky, and slightly squinted his charming eyes.
