Chapter 3890

No one would have thought that this relatively strong, talkative, and kind swordsman would aim his first attack at Xijiu.

Xijiu couldn't react in time, and neither could Lan Gu Meng and Shan Ya.

The glint of the blade approached. The moment danger struck, a ray of light appeared on Xijiu's body, forming a defensive barrier.

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Ma Yingmeng's mouth. If he did not find the right target, then his attack would naturally return empty-handed. However, if his choice was correct, then this unsheathed attack would kill.

With a snap, the defensive barrier on Xijiu's body shattered in an instant. The glint of the blade continued to approach Xijiu, aiming for her neck.

He was going to behead her in one strike!

The sudden change happened so quickly that the people around them didn't understand what was going on. They were all in a daze.

Just then, a black claw mark, emitting a cold metallic luster, suddenly appeared in front of the glint of the blade.

Clang!

Clang!

Two clanging sounds rang out at almost the same time.

The swordsman, Ma Meng, felt a strong vibration coming from the blade. His body kept retreating.

However, he wasn't concerned about his attack being blocked. Instead, he was concerned about the other clanging sound.

Did he fail as well?

He took five steps back and was able to stabilize his body. But just to be safe, he took another five steps back.

Hu Meng looked forward and saw a small black beast that wasn't very big. It was currently floating in the air in front of Xiu 'er, whose face had turned pale.

After taking a closer look at the little beast, his expression changed. As someone who had stayed in the Sagely Mountain City for a few months, he naturally recognized the little beast.

It was Zi Chen's pet beast.

But why was Zi Chen's pet here?

Ma Meng's gaze continued to move. He looked behind Xijiu and saw his little brother. His little brother no longer had that look of worship and curiosity. Instead, his expression was solemn. He held a short sword in his hand, and the hand that held it was trembling.

Even he, who was supposed to kill, had failed!

An ordinary-looking guy with a black staff in his hand stood opposite him, or rather, behind Xijiu.

He remembered that the guy had introduced himself as Chenz, but of course, Halcyon didn't think so. Perhaps the guy had just used an alias and used his real name.

The belated Ma Meng felt a sense of regret. If he had known earlier that Zi Chen was also in this team, he wouldn't have acted so hastily.

Right now, it was clearly impossible to kill the target in front of the other party.

As soon as this thought appeared, he had the intention to retreat.

It was at this moment that the other people in the surroundings reacted and retreated one after another.

Horror filled their eyes. Unexpectedly, before that bladesman appeared, they started fighting among themselves.

There was a flash of light in front of Zi Chen, and he returned to his original appearance. "I wanted to go the rest of the way safely, but I didn't expect you two to expose my identity.

It's definitely too late for you to retreat now. Just fight it out. Perhaps the two of you still have a chance. "

There was an uproar in the surroundings. Right now, there was no one who did not know of Zi Chen.

If this person was Zi Chen, then the identities of the other people were almost obvious.

Sure enough, Shan Ya and Lan Gu Meng no longer hid their identities.

Xijiu had also returned to her original appearance, but her recognition was obviously not as good as the two girls.

Halcyon and the existence who claimed to be his little brother looked at each other. Knowing that there was no way out, the two decided to fight to the death.

Halcyon struck out again. Saber intent lingered, and the saber light became even brighter.

You Gui left in front of Xijiu and landed on Zi Chen's shoulder again. Obviously, he didn't intend to continue blocking the attack for Xijiu.

A sword light flew out in front of Lan Gu Meng and blocked the saber light.

In an instant, the saber light shattered, and the sword light continued forward.

This weapon, which had obviously advanced to the level of a hundred soldiers, cut Halcyon's saber and pierced through Halcyon's body. It drew an arc behind him and disappeared in front of Lan Gu Meng.

Halcyon's forward body stopped, and his vitality began to fade.

A sword strike ended the battle.

On the other side, Zi Chen raised his staff and swung it down. A powerful wave of air surged and spread out, bringing up a lot of smoke and dust.

Accompanied by a violent roar, the earth shook, and a long crack appeared, sending sand and stones flying.

After the strange phenomenon disappeared, the existence who attacked Xijiu was already dead.

These two people's true combat strength wasn't strong. They were mainly good at assassination.

At this time, everyone still stayed around and didn't dare to come forward.

Xijiu stood there and didn't say a word. Her original intention was to help Zi Chen, but she didn't expect that she would be the first to be in danger.

After the two died, Zi Chen turned his head to look at Guo Tao and nodded slightly at him.

Guo Tao immediately waved his hand, and a few people came forward to deal with the bodies.

"Everyone, continue to rest."

However, someone had just died here, so the group tacitly moved forward a few miles. During this period, no one approached Zi Chen's group. They were naturally worried that Zi Chen would misunderstand and kill them with a single strike.

A few miles away, a bonfire rose. Zi Chen's group of four sat together.

There was no one within a hundred feet of them.

"I'm sorry," said Xijiu in shame.

"There's no need to blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you," said Zi Chen. At this moment, he seemed to understand the reason why Undrunk Loft let Xijiu go with them.

Shan Ya gently patted Xijiu's shoulder, indicating that she didn't need to think too much.

At this moment, Guo Tao walked over. However, when he was dozens of feet away from Zi Chen, he paused slightly. After seeing Zi Chen nod, he continued approaching.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Guo Tao sat beside Zi Chen.

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "You have to be careful. There should be a lot of danger ahead. Try your best to protect your people.

Or, you can take your people and leave in advance. "

"I promised the customer that I would send you safely to the place," said Guo Tao.

"There's no need for that. In fact, it's also a good thing that you take your people and leave first. No one should attack you again. Besides, I don't really trust the people in the group now.

After all, if there's an assassination once, there will be a second time. "

Zi Chen's concerns existed, but Guo Tao's persistence was beyond imagination. "I will let my people stay a hundred feet away from you and not disturb you."

Zi Chen didn't say anything else. He respected Guo Tao's choice.

After resting for a night, the group continued on their way.

Everyone was no longer so worried about the swordsman who dared to kill the people of the Sacred Mountain. This was because Zi Chen was in the group. He had hundreds of soldiers with him and was an existence that could suppress Sheng Lun.

However, because they were too nervous before, they didn't notice that Sheng Lun, who had been defeated by Zi Chen, had fallen into a pool of blood again.

This time, after leaving the Sacred Mountain, without the protection of the Mirror Spirit, he couldn't be more dead.

On Zi Chen's way, You Yi had been waiting for a long time. He obviously wasn't impulsive. Instead, he was fully prepared.
