Chapter 322 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze (Movie Version) 17
The scene on the big screen suddenly changed, like a sudden change in the weather. The originally colorful clouds were instantly swallowed up by surging dark clouds, and a fine rain fell silently.
At the edge of the chaotic battlefield, a dozen or so women dressed in white stood silently, exuding a chilling aura.
With hands outstretched, fingers flew across the page, as if plucking invisible strings in the void, weaving a giant net that covered the heavens and earth, tightly binding this world.
In this world shrouded in darkness, assassins from the Dark River come in droves.
Su Muyu unleashed the Eighteen Swords Formation without hesitation, her sharp sword light aimed directly at Li Changsheng, but all of this was in vain.
Li Changsheng calmly stepped down from the carriage. With a mere flick of his sleeve, as if summoned by an invisible force, the Undying Dust sword in Baili Dongjun's hand seemed to come alive, leaping up automatically and precisely meeting Su Muyu's deadly attack, causing Su Muyu to be severely injured and collapse to the ground.
At the same time, Su Changhe lunged at Xiao Ruofeng, but was repelled by Xiao Ruofeng's Rifting Sword Technique. If Su Zhe hadn't intervened in time to save him, he would probably have died on the spot.
The assassins from the Dark River who came with the two were also seriously injured and collapsed.
Even so, they still did not retreat.
“The Dark River has never failed in its assassinations. Now that they have accepted the orders to assassinate the Prince of Langya and the Marquis of Zhenxi, they will certainly carry them out…”
As soon as Su Muyu finished speaking, the barrier that had been shattered by Xiao Ruofeng's sword energy cracked open, and the world regained its original color.
Baili Dongjun and the others suddenly realized that three or four hundred Dark River assassins had surrounded them. These assassins were men and women, young and old, and some were carrying knives, some swords, and others other hidden weapons.
What's even more chilling is that among this group were dozens of experts at the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, while the rest were all at the Free and Unfettered Earth Realm.
As the images on the big screen kept changing, the audience felt a chill run down their spines as they watched the endless stream of assassins from the underground river.
The Free and Unfettered Heavenly Realm uses the Heavenly Dao as its martial force, and its methods resonate with all things. Those who can enter this realm are all masters of the human world, and are rarely seen in ordinary times.
However, at this moment, in order to assassinate Xiao Ruofeng and Baili Luochen, the Dark River actually dispatched dozens of experts from the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm and hundreds of assassins from the Free and Unfettered Earth Realm, with more and more assassins on their way.
What's even more chilling is that the scene shown on the big screen is a vision of the future, which means that in the near future, they will really have to personally experience this thrilling life-or-death struggle.
This situation was quite challenging, even for Nangong Chunshui, let alone others.
Faced with so many assassins, even someone as powerful as him could never eliminate them all at once.
If these assassins can hold them off for even a short while, then Xiao Ruofeng, Baili Luochen, Baili Dongjun, Yueyao, and the others will surely die.
So how exactly did they in the parallel world survive this ordeal?
"The Dark River truly lives up to its reputation!" Baili Luochen said with a sigh.
The Dark River Quartet: ...
Damn it! Why did they have to put them in the same movie?!
Yi Bu glared fiercely at Mu Mingce. He had finally managed to get on the good side of King Jingyu, even sacrificing his daughter, but unexpectedly, everything was ruined because of the Dark River.
This group of people is really hindering people's progress!
Yi Bu: (╬◣д◢)
Just as Li Changsheng was sighing that he was about to unleash a massacre today, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky, like a swallow soaring through the air, and landed lightly in front of everyone.
Upon seeing the person's appearance clearly, Li Changsheng chuckled, "So it's this person. Looks like I can save some effort."
Upon hearing this, Baili Luochen's heart stirred, and a person quickly came to mind: "Could it be that you know this person, sir?"
Li Changsheng nodded.
Baili Dongjun quickly asked, "Who is it?"
"How many people in the world could be able to travel here in spirit at this time?" Li Changsheng looked at Xiao Ruofeng meaningfully.
"A divine journey? A divine journey through the mystical realm?" Baili Dongjun's heart skipped a beat, recalling the news that had come from Tianqi City some time ago: "Prince Jingyu, Xiao Ruojin?"
Li Changsheng nodded.
"So it was him!" Baili Dongjun scoffed, turning away and deliberately avoiding Xiao Ruojin's gaze.
Baili Dongjun's gaze was fixed on the screen. Seeing the assassins wavering upon seeing "Xiao Ruojin," he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ruojin beside him, a feeling of displeasure rising in his heart.
Jingyu Wang really knows how to pick his timing, showing up at such a crucial moment and making a big show of himself.
Just like his counterpart in the parallel world, Baili Dongjun's initial impression of Xiao Ruojin was deeply ingrained and difficult to change because of the Yi Wenjun incident.
He simply disliked Xiao Ruojin, and even though Xiao Ruojin appeared to save people, he still felt no goodwill towards her.
……
At this moment, Mu Mingce was extremely anxious and had no time to pay attention to Yi Bu's fierce gaze beside him.
The mission to assassinate the Prince of Langya and the Marquis of Zhenxi in the underground river changed dramatically the moment 'Xiao Ruojin' appeared.
If it were just Li Changsheng, the assassins of the Dark River could grit their teeth and fight to the death, using the 'delaying tactic' to wait for an opportunity.
But now, with the addition of "Xiao Ruojin," facing the combined forces of two of the world's greatest masters, if Anhe insists on starting a war, the only outcome will be total annihilation.
In this parallel world, what choice will he ultimately make?
Was he simply carrying out Emperor Tai'an's orders against his will?
Or should they choose to retreat, prioritizing the lives of their men?
An answer vaguely surfaced in Mu Mingce's mind, and he closed his eyes helplessly.
The underground river was originally an affiliated institution of the imperial court, a sharp weapon in the emperor's hands, so they could not possibly disobey Emperor Tai'an's orders.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Dark River assassins will fight to the death.
Su Muyu, Su Changhe, and Su Zhe also realized this and fell silent in unison.
That's why, when they saw the firework blooming in the scene, they were all momentarily dazed.
"Was that the patriarch's signal to retreat?"
Su Changhe pointed at the big screen in disbelief and said.
"Yes." A glint flashed in Su Muyu's eyes as she responded affirmatively.
Mu Mingce suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on the fireworks exploding on the screen. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly understood.
Emperor Tai'an was able to set up such a deadly trap because he was determined to kill the Prince of Langya and the Marquis of Zhenxi, and he would never easily change his mind.
However, his parallel world self dared to defy Emperor Tai'an's decree, which undoubtedly shows that he made a choice in the struggle between Emperor Tai'an and Prince Jingyu and Prince Langya.
He chose to stand on King Jingyu's side!
