Chapter 243 The power from Jiangnan!
The melee broke out again, and within a few breaths, casualties began to appear in the Inspectorate!
Although the individual strength of the swordsmen of the Overwatch Council was higher than that of the others, and they were supported by several crossbowmen, there were too many enemies to kill. Gradually, the swordsmen of the Overwatch Council gave up actively killing the enemies and instead entered a defensive formation.

Several swordsman captains from the Supervisory Council looked at each other, knowing that they were no match for their opponent and that they had to find a way to break out!
At this time, Fan Xian was alone against three ninth-grade and four eighth-grade warriors. He could not escape, let alone break through!

The people guarding Fan Xian could only silently resist the attack of the group of people and wait for the order of the wise and resourceful Fan Xian.
The battlefield between masters is always full of thrills and excitement. It seems like two different worlds from the melee next to it. Even if some people rashly enter this world for the bounty, they will only become victims of this world.

The people from the Overwatch Council did not participate in it, not even the group of people protecting Fan Xian. The reason was that Fan Xian had previously told them that if the person who blocked the road to assassinate them was too powerful, then they should not have to worry about anything.

The people in the Overwatch Council were the most obedient to orders. Even after Fan Xian's death, they would not be able to escape death if they returned to the Overwatch Council.

"You are slower than I expected!" Fan Xian laughed heartily and mocked loudly.

Unlike Fan Xian's laughter, the sword in the other party's hand sped up again.

If Fan Xian had not been wearing soft armor, throwing out a bag of poison powder and steel needles from time to time, and rolling on the ground without caring about his face to avoid countless attacks aimed at vital points, he would have been killed long ago.

Among these people, no matter they are of the eighth or ninth rank, with Fan Xian's methods, in a one-on-one fight, none of them would survive more than ten breaths.

But now seven people attacked together, and Fan Xian could hardly save his life, and could be said to be fighting and fleeing at the same time.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the arrows that occasionally flew out from the forest were smashed into pieces by tiny stones, and the direction from which the stones came was exactly the carriage that Fan Xian had been riding in!

The four eighth-rank warriors looked at each other, and instantly two of them rushed towards the carriage, which made Fan Xian breathe a sigh of relief!

Bang!
Bang!
Fan Xian chuckled, but the assassin who was hacking at Fan Xian slowed down a little, feeling confused and uncertain!
What did they see?
Two eighth-grade masters were killed one after another in just a short period of time, and they didn't even get to see each other's faces!

The carriage was intact, and the bodies of the two men lay limp on the ground like rags.
A swordsman from the Overwatch Council was stunned. When did a top expert whose identity was unknown appear in the carriage of the Lord? But now that the Lord was in danger, why did this person still stay in the carriage and not come down to rescue him?

Several colleagues died just now!
Just as he was stunned, a sword and an iron fork fiercely pierced into his body, and then his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

"concentrate!"

A captain shouted, and with a casual sword he beheaded the two attackers!
Inside the carriage, Wu Zhu's mind tilted. He heard the noise outside and the voices of several people from the Supervisory Council, but he still did not move.

He wanted to get Fan Xian out of the sight of these swordsmen. He didn't trust them, so he decided to let them all die here. By then, if Fan Xian couldn't complete his mission, he would naturally go to Kyoto with him!

Outside, Fan Xian was fighting with the enemy and feeling anxious.

It seems that Uncle Wu Zhu has no intention of intervening. Unless his life is threatened, he will just ignore this help.

The two eighth-rank assassins who had just died wanted to get rid of the people in the carriage who might have hindered them, so it couldn't be said that Uncle Wuzhu took the initiative to kill them.
On the other hand, the people in the Supervisory Council can’t hold on for that long!

He didn't expect the Jiangnan family to be so cruel and accumulate so much power just to deal with him. Originally, the swordsmen of the two teams of the Supervisory Council were enough to resist many assassinations and accidents, but the enemy had seven masters, and even sent out crossbows and hundreds of people from the martial arts world. Who could withstand it?
"You really think highly of me!" Fan Xian said sarcastically, and seeing that the other party did not respond, he began to attack verbally, trying to disrupt the other party's mind and seek to defeat the enemy.

Then, between a few moves, Fan Xian was observing the opponent's moves.

He found that each of them was different. Although their moves were different, they all had large and powerful movements. More importantly, he found dark marks on their exposed skin caused by exposure to the scorching sun.

"This is water vapor!" Fan Xian smiled slightly, blocked a stabbing sword and said firmly: "You are the worshippers of Jiangnan Water Fort!"

Jiangnan Water Fort is a very general term, but it specifically refers to a whole group of water forts along the Yangtze River Canal, led by Xia Qifei.

It is rumored that the offerings to the Jiangnan Water Fort are related to the imperial court and a mysterious organization.

Several assassins stopped their attacks tacitly and surrounded Fan Xian. They looked at each other and wondered where the news had been leaked.

While surrounding Fan Xian, they were also on guard against the carriage. Then, while listening to Fan Xian's words, they silently narrowed the encirclement, accumulating Fan Xian's living space.

Fan Xian saw all of this and continued indifferently, "As far as I know, there cannot be so many masters in the entire Jiangnan Water Village. Even if the leader Xia Qifei is among you, it is not enough!"

"Tell me about it. I'm going to die anyway, so why not satisfy my curiosity before I die?"

Seeing that the few people remained unmoved, Fan Xian had already gotten the answer he wanted from their hands that were tightening their sword hilts!
"Is it that mysterious organization?"

Seeing the leader's masked eyes narrowed, Fan Xian continued, "I have officially taken charge of the inner treasury. Some people in the three major workshops of the inner treasury have deliberately started a strike. Among them are the eldest princess and the Ming family. The inner treasury bidding is a rule that was set more than ten years ago. As the owner of the inner treasury, I can only act according to the rules and be led by you!"

"But I came to an interesting conclusion when I dealt with the Ming family afterwards."

"That is, dealing with the Ming family is even more difficult than dealing with those princes in Kyoto!"

"This is not because of the unity of the Jiangnan clans. There must be a mysterious force controlling all this!"

Dealing with the Ming family is a long-term project. The Ming family is deeply rooted in Jiangnan. If you want to bring it down legally and reasonably, you need to nibble away at it bit by bit. Fan Xian is not prepared and cannot defeat the Ming family this year, so Fan Xian’s strategy this year is to prevent the Ming family from making money.

But I didn’t expect that without any hesitation, the Ming family and the eldest princess would use all their strength from the first attack!

As soon as Fan Xian finished speaking, five sharp weapons came towards him!
