Chapter 245 Black Knights and Massacre.

The sound came from far away and the vibration became louder and louder.

"This is?"

Several assassins became anxious and guessed that these were reinforcements coming to support Fan Xian. They did not care about the two ninth-rank warriors at their side and shook off the blood on their swords and ran towards Fan Xian again.

"Kill me!"

The enemy leader shouted.

The remaining three hundred to four hundred minions also followed the movements of the three ninth-grade minions and leaped into the encirclement one after another. The scene became extremely chaotic for a moment!
The swordsmen of the Overwatch Council are on full alert. At the last moment, they cannot afford to relax even a little!
Fan Xian looked at everything in the field. He had no worry or anxiety, but instead smiled.

He even had enough energy to respond to Haitang Duoduo's previous question. He said loudly: "Thank you Saint Lady and Senior Brother Langtao for saving me. If you two hadn't come here, I wouldn't be injured just like this!"

Haitang Duoduo smiled slightly, showing no uneasiness about not following Li An's orders.

However, Lang Tao's eyes were fixed on the intact carriage, staring at it intently. He gripped the knife with even more strength, and a fierce fighting spirit was revealed in his eyes!

"Brother!"

Haitang Duoduo reminded him softly, then turned to Fan Xian and said with a bright smile, "Brother Fan, you are too kind. I believe that even if the two of us don't come, your life will not be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Fan Xian knew Uncle Wu Zhu's character too well. He would not die, but he would suffer.

To be precise, the damage these assassins inflicted on Fan Xian was not as much as during his training with Uncle Wu Zhu.
While the few of them were talking, Wu Zhu was also paying close attention to the battle situation in the darkness inside the carriage.

Given his concern for Fan Xian, the remaining three people posed less of a threat to Fan Xian than the two who arrived later. In addition, for a ninth-rank master, the distance between the three was enough for them to launch an attack.

By then, even if he wanted to save Fan Xian, it would be too late.

The iron rod was already in Wuzhu's hand, so it was reasonable for him to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

"It's just that my cultivation is not yet perfect, and I still need some practice in actual combat. I can launch my moves but I can't retract them. I don't want you two to see me in such an awkward state."

Fan Xian regained his usual composure and composure, straightened his clothes, looked at the cavalrymen galloping in the distance and the arrows flying past his face, and asked softly, "I remember that Miss Haitang is not a combative person. Although this is the order of your country's national teacher, it doesn't mean you have to come all the way to Qing Kingdom, right?"

Fan Xian thought that the two of them were here to take his life back, so he asked this question.

"Put it back!"

A loud shout rang out again from the cavalry.

Then, the rain of arrows came again.

The screams in their ears came one after another, but did not affect the three people who were looking at each other at all.

The remaining three ninth-grade warriors on the enemy side used all their means, rushing left and right to find a way to break out.

As for the mission of killing Fan Xian, they had already forgotten about it.

They were worshippers, not warriors. If they could help the water stronghold, they would naturally be willing to do so, but if they had to sacrifice their lives, they would never agree to do so! Under normal circumstances, they would have escaped from the siege and left in style with the help of the three ninth-rank warriors, but their opponents today were not the bullying navy masters they had encountered in the past!
To deal with high-level warriors, the Black Knights naturally had their own methods: dense and rhythmic armor-piercing arrows, concentrating their firepower specifically to deal with the three people.

In the intervals between the attacks, a series of crossbows as thick as arms were fired out in response to the sound of strings, targeting the moment when the three men jumped up and tried to break out of the encirclement!
And those armor-piercing arrows also have the effect of breaking through the true Qi. Because of the rhythm, the three of them had just adapted to it when they saw the command flags in the hands of the Black Cavalry commander change, and what followed was another kind of arrow rain that was sometimes fast and sometimes slow!

Even though the three of them were caught off guard in their panicked attempts to defend themselves, their years of training and deep inner energy meant that they were not seriously injured at this moment.

But if the situation continues to develop like this, they will be worn out to death here!

Not to mention that there are several ninth-rank masters waiting on the sidelines for an opportunity to strike!
Surprisingly, Haitang Duoduo and Langtao had been silent since their previous attack, and with the two restraining them, Fan Xian did not dare to move rashly.

"This battle does not need to continue."

Haitang Duoduo said, while Langtao responded to Fan Xian's question with silence.

"We are not here to kill you, otherwise we would not have saved you just now. But we are here to stop you from returning to Kyoto."

Fan Xian had no intention of returning to Kyoto immediately, but since Haitang Duoduo said so, Fan Xian chuckled and responded, "That's unfortunate. I'm eager to go home now. Thanks to your country's national teacher, whether it's the Fan Mansion or my true identity, the Qing Kingdom is now in turmoil and undercurrents."

"The eyes of the whole country are focused on me right now." Fan Xian stepped on the dead branches on the ground with one foot, making a crackling sound. He stroked the wound on his wrist with one hand, grinning in pain. He squinted his eyes slightly and adapted to the brief pain. Fan Xian looked at the chaotic scene, the corpses of the Supervisory Council personnel on the ground, and listened to the screams. He felt a surge of anger in his heart, and couldn't help laughing: "You who caused all this are now trying to stop me from returning to Kyoto. Let me ask you, I am not a puppet who can be manipulated by others, right?"

The black knights rushed into the field and broke the formation of the remaining people.

The sounds of hacking and screaming mixed together like funeral music.

Some people find it beautiful, while others find it upsetting!

Fan Xian stepped back to avoid a flying corpse. He paused while stroking the wound, and the arrows hidden in his sleeve flew out. He shot three arrows in succession at the two men from Northern Qi!
Lang Tao withdrew his gaze from the carriage and snorted coldly. He shook his wrists and knocked away the sleeve arrows with the double swords connected by iron chains. Haitang Duoduo on the side did not move at all, but gently pounded her thighs to relax.

"This is truly a disgrace to the Ninth Rank! Such a petty trick only makes people laugh!"

Faced with the provocation, Lang Tao was about to draw his knife to attack Fan Xian but was stopped by Haitang Duoduo.

"Wait a minute!" Haitang Duoduo took out a brocade bag from her sleeve and began to examine it. After a moment, she nodded thoughtfully and said loudly, "This is a collaboration!"

"cooperate?"

Fan Xian rolled up his sleeves, picked up someone's iron knife on the ground, and stabbed a member of the Water Village gang who had his back to him, and asked, "I really don't know what to cooperate with Li An now!"

The previous cooperation was indeed pleasant. Although it was short, it allowed Fan Xian to accumulate a large amount of wealth.

After all, it was a no-cost business, and it also made it convenient for Fan Xian to carry out his subsequent unknown plans.

But after the Hanging Mountain, the Ye family in Kyoto suffered. Although the outcome was favorable to Fan Xian, the Kyoto of Qing Kingdom underwent a major reshuffle, which could be considered a blow to its vitality.

From then on, the two sides were like water and fire, and there was no possibility of cooperation!
Not to mention the Northern Qi's subsequent attack on Fan Jian and the revelation of his true identity.
"To be precise, the main target of this cooperation is the one behind you!" Haitang Duoduo smiled and pointed at the carriage beside Fan Xian. "Of course, there are also benefits for you."

Seeing that the two were still arguing, Lang Tao could no longer bear it and rushed towards the chaotic crowd with his knife, killing everyone he saw!
Because of the cooperative relationship and Li An's instructions, he deliberately avoided the Black Knight.

As a result, the people in Jiangnan Water Village suffered.
