Chapter 607 Assassin

Seeing that the saber was about to land on Xu Han's head, Ling Lie's boundless saber intent locked the Qi in his body to death. He could not avoid it, so he could only forcefully shake the saber that belonged to the Su Clan.

"Uncle Xu!"

But at this moment, a loud shout sounded from behind him.

Xu Han, who was only twenty years old, was probably only nineteen who could call him that. However, he did not have the mood to respond to the call of nineteen behind him.

However, the moment the nineteen voices rang out, Xu Han could clearly feel that the other party's expression under the black hood seemed to have changed. In the next moment, the long saber that had already reached his body and the figure of the black-robed man suddenly disappeared.

Everything was calm.

Xu Hanmu stood there in a daze, as if he hadn't recovered from this sudden change.

"Uncle Xu!" Nineteen's voice came to mind once again. With a burst of hurried trotting sound, she had already arrived behind Xu Han. She reached out to grab Xu Han's hand and anxiously said, "Uncle Xu, hurry up and take a look with me. My master is about to die."

Xu Han finally regained his senses from this pull. He looked at Nineteen behind him, but he was still unable to determine whether what had happened before was an illusion or something real.

However, Nineteen did not seem to have seen what had just happened. She used all her strength to pull Xu Han into the corner of the street, pulling the strange-looking youth into the corner. Then, she pointed at Zhou Yuan, who seemed to be asleep, and anxiously said, "Master, Master can't get up, I can't wake up no matter what!"

After seeing this, Xu Han finally reacted. He suppressed the doubts and uneasiness in his heart and looked at Zhou Yuan.

"What's wrong with him?" Xu Han asked, but there was still a trace of lingering fear in his strange tone.

"This" Little Nineteen was a little flustered. Her gaze wandered everywhere. After a long while, she stammered, "I don't know. It's just that he fainted in an instant!"

Xu Han squatted down. Most likely, because what had happened before was too strange, he did not carefully examine too many of the things that he rarely saw.

After stretching out his hand to investigate Zhou Yuan's condition, his expression slowed down slightly. "It's not a big deal. It seems like he just fainted. But… why are you here?" He asked.

Nineteen obviously hadn't thought of this question. A trace of panic flashed across her cheeks as she stammered, "It's just a stroll."

"Why are you hanging out so late?" Xu Han asked suspiciously.

Nineteen fell silent again. After a long while, he said, "Eh … Master suddenly became interested …"

Seeing Nineteen like this, how could Xu Han not understand that Nineteen was deceiving him? However, he did not ask any further. He only said, "We have a special status. In the future, it would be better to do less of this kind of thing."

After saying this, he helped Zhou Yuan up and led Nineteen, who was somewhat depressed after seeing through his thoughts, towards the inn where they were staying.

What Xu Han did not expect was that after they left, the black-robed figure appeared at the corner of the street where he had just stood. The black-robed figure looked at Xu Han's departing back with a flickering light in his eyes.

…

The next day, the group prepared to leave the city according to the agreement.

Yuan Xiucheng's pursuers were still chasing after them like jackals. Living here for a long time was obviously not a good method. It would be better to leave Jingzhou as soon as possible.

As planned, the group of people were still divided into three waves and left this place along with the crowd that left and entered the city early in the morning.

Walking at the end, Xu Han and Liu Sheng walked side by side. There was still the same silence between the two of them. In the end, Xu Han was unable to break this atmosphere.

The peddlers on both sides of the road were peddling breakfast. Xu Han glanced at Liu Sheng, who had a cold expression, and suddenly said, "Ah Sheng, do you want to eat something?"

Liu Sheng stopped and glanced at Xu Han. It was rare for him to agree with Xu Han's suggestion. He nodded and said, "Yesterday, I heard the shopkeeper say that there was an old man surnamed Hu who had good buns. We can go buy some."

Hearing this, Xu Han nodded his head hurriedly.

"You are not allowed to leave the city!" Suddenly, a loud noise came from the street in front of him, and a deep voice came from the front.

Xu Han and Liu Sheng exchanged a glance and saw a hint of uneasiness in each other's eyes. They did not care about whose bun they were from and began to walk towards the city gate.

They saw Li Dingxian's group and Fang Ziyu's group there, presumably trapped in Tong City by a sudden change.

There was a crowd of people who wanted to leave the city. Of course, there were also many pedestrians and merchants who came to see the city. At the end of the city gate, a girl dressed in white was standing there with a cold expression. Beside him, a middle-aged man dressed in armor was shouting something loudly.

"Let me tell you a piece of great news!"

"The lord from Yan Guang City has brought us 30,000 holy medicines. After consuming this medicine, we will be invulnerable to all poisons from now on. We will live for a long time to come!"

The middle-aged man spoke loudly with a fanatical expression. Behind the white-clothed girl, a group of soldiers also cooperatively lifted the two white cloth wrapped gigantic things that were placed at the city gate. As a result, two carriages filled with medicine bottles appeared in front of the people of Tongcheng City at that time.

Cheers rang out from the crowd.

Judging from their eagerness, they seemed to have completely believed the set of words about the sacred medicines that had been deliberately spread out.

Xu Han frowned. He looked at the fanatical people around him and then at Li Dingxian and his group not far away. These past few days of contact had allowed Xu Han to roughly understand the little prince's temperament. He was somewhat worried that Li Dingxian in this realm would be unable to restrain himself and create some trouble for them.

However, it seemed that the matter from before had made this little prince have a long memory. Although he was angry at this moment, he did not act as he used to.

"Are we not going to save him?" Liu Sheng suddenly looked at Xu Han and asked.

"Let's take a look first." Xu Han replied with a deep gaze, According to what Jiang Lai said and what they saw in Yan Guang City, once they swallowed this so-called holy medicine, they would completely lose their consciousness and turn into puppets. Xu Han could not know that other than relying on the copper coins left behind by Master Wei, there were other ways to reverse this situation. If not, in Xu Han's opinion, these people were no different from dying.

However, if they attacked now, destroying this batch of holy medicines would not be difficult. However, it would be difficult for them to expose their identities and face the pursuit of Yuan Xiucheng . Could the 30,000 citizens of the city really escape this fate? If Dark Asura Palace could create such a batch of holy medicines, they would be able to create even more holy medicines.

Just as Xu Han was thinking about this, several figures suddenly flew out from the crowd.

They went straight to the two carriages filled with holy medicines behind the white-clothed girl. Xu Han was shocked. He thought that Li Dingxian and the others had failed to control him, but when he looked closely, he discovered that those figures were strange faces.

The few figures shot out abruptly. Before the guards on both sides of the carriage could pull out their swords and knives from their waists, the few of them had already arrived in front of them.

Saber light and sword shadows lit up, and bloodstains appeared on the necks of the soldiers, causing them to fall to the ground on the spot.

However, the few of them did not stop in their tracks. After defeating the armored soldiers, they directly rushed forward and rushed towards the place where the holy medicines were located. Seeing this, Xu Han suddenly came to his senses. They seemed to want to destroy these holy medicines!

Just as they were about to succeed, the corner of the white-clothed girl's mouth suddenly curled into a smile.

She whispered, "You're courting death."

The girl's body suddenly moved. Her speed was extremely fast. She was like a ghost shuttling past the figures of the assassins. Every time she stopped, she would slap out with a palm. However, in the blink of an eye, she had already done all of this.

The assassins then stopped their steps almost at the same time and flew backwards one after another.

However, the girl's body returned to the distance. If it wasn't for Xu Han's extraordinary eyesight, he wouldn't have noticed that the girl had knocked down all ten of the assassins in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, more soldiers on both sides came to their senses. They all stepped forward and captured the heavily injured assassins. One by one, they brought them to the city gate and rudely pressed down on their bodies.

"Do you see that?" The white-clothed girl narrowed her eyes and looked at the people of Tongcheng who had witnessed all of this. She said, "These thieves want to destroy the holy medicine His Majesty gave us."

"Tell me, should they die?"

When these words were spoken, the majority of the people in the city immediately became excited. They shouted loudly, "Kill them!"

"Kill these villains!"

It was as if shouting like this was not enough to relieve his anger. At this moment, some people began to throw stones and eggs at the captured assassins.

One of the assassins, a man in his thirties, was trying to shout at the crowd, "Everyone! Don't be fooled! These so-called holy medicines are heartbreaking poisons!"

'"Think about Luo Yan City, a hundred miles away! They had previously joined forces with the surrounding Jianghu Sect to hide the children in the city, but after eating this so-called holy medicine, those parents had all sent their children out! Which parent could do this? This holy medicine was causing trouble!"

However, the man's shouts were quickly drowned out by the crowd's shouts. No one was willing to listen to what he said. Instead, they treated their group as villains.

"Why don't we kill these thieves and sacrifice flags, and then I'll arrange for people to distribute holy medicines." When the white-clothed girl saw this, the smile on her lips became even more intense. Naturally, her words attracted the approval of the people who were bent on obtaining the holy medicine.

Rows of armored soldiers stood out again. They drew their long sabers from their waists, aimed them at the assassins' necks, and were about to wave them down.
