Chapter 193: Two Dead Ends to Choose
Chapter 193: Two Dead Ends to Choose
The leader took action, and the others followed suit.
Xiao Muhuai raised his eyes slightly, jumped up, and rushed directly towards the group of people.
Although the weapons snatched from the enemy were not very easy to use, it did not affect his ability to "cut leeks".
Xiao Muhuai's moves were sharp and his actions were clean and neat. He was determined to take people's lives and seemed to have no regard for leaving anyone alive.
The leader couldn't help but frown when he saw Xiao Muhuai becoming more and more courageous as he killed more people.
During the first few fights, he could indeed feel that the other party had good martial arts skills.
But he always felt that this person today seemed a little different.
The number of people they brought this time was indeed quite large, as if they were determined to take Xiao Muhuai's life at all costs.
But facing the enemy's relentless attacks, Xiao Muhuai seemed tireless and harvested one head after another.
The two sides fought for a long time, and the leader couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
He stepped out of the center of the fight and looked somewhere in the woods, as if trying to confirm something.
After a while, there was no other sound except the sound of wind blowing through the leaves.
The leader withdrew his gaze and joined the battle again.
At this moment, deep in the woods, an invisible attack was rapidly approaching their group.
It was at this moment that a figure suddenly flew out of the carriage next to him and fell into the encirclement of the battle.
He put his arm around Xiao Muhuai's waist and brought him out.
At the same time, he summoned the divine power in his hand and directly faced the opponent's attack.
After dissolving the opponent's divine power, Lu Huaiyuan's attack flew towards the depths of the woods.
It happened in just a moment, and the people who were fighting just now did not notice this silent confrontation.
But suddenly, a few muffled thunders were heard in the sky.
The system's report also came into Lu Huaiyuan's mind.
[The target's blackening value has been detected to be +10, and the current blackening value is 65. Please lower the blackening value as soon as possible!]
Lu Huaiyuan raised his eyes and looked at the woods not far away with an ambiguous expression.
It was already late at night, and the woods were pitch black, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.
Lu Huaiyuan did not take the content of the broadcast to heart. He just stared at the dark night, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Muhuai, who was standing beside him, looked up when he heard the voice, only to see that the full moon originally hanging in the sky had been covered by dark clouds, and there was a faint sign of impending storm.
He frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably strange.
However, Xiao Muhuai didn't say much, but just turned around and looked at Lu Huaiyuan beside him.
He asked, "Didn't we agree that they would leave it to me to handle? Why did you come out?"
Earlier, after he came out of the palace and got on the carriage, he saw Lu Huaiyuan sitting inside.
He didn't know how the other party appeared in the carriage without anyone noticing, but while he felt happy, he couldn't help but worry.
He was very happy that Lu Huaiyuan came to pick him up, but he was also worried that something unexpected might happen on the way back and that the other person might be hurt.
But at this point, he has no choice.
Later, when the driver changed the route, he actually noticed it.
But he didn't say anything, just wanting to see what the other party would do.
Therefore, he was not surprised when he encountered an ambush.
But now seeing Lu Huaiyuan coming out, Xiao Muhuai was afraid that the other party would be affected, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Lu Huaiyuan didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he just said, "Nothing, I just can't stand them bullying you."
"Besides, if we get rid of them sooner, we can go home."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but yawn: "I'm sleepy."
Hearing the word "go home" blurted out by Lu Huaiyuan, Xiao Muhuai inexplicably felt a strange emotion in his heart.
He couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, let's go home."
While the two were talking, the killers who were originally startled by the thunder came to their senses and attacked them again.
Lu Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows: "You really don't need my help?"
Xiao Muhuai refused: "Don't bother, I can do it myself."
His A Yuan, pure and innocent, is not the kind of person who should do such a thing.
Lu Huaiyuan didn't know what he was thinking, so he just nodded: "Okay, be careful."
Because he said he wanted to go home, Xiao Muhuai acted more quickly and decisively this time.
While the two sides were fighting, a bright light flashed over the woods not far away, as if someone had released a flare.
But no matter what orders they conveyed, these people were destined to die here tonight.
-----------------
Xiao Muhuai acted decisively; the assassins surrounding them were no match for him.
Occasionally, there would be one or two people who wanted to take advantage of Lu Huaiyuan, but he easily dealt with them all.
Lu Huaiyuan used a barrier to surround those who wanted to escape, while Xiao Muhuai quickly ended the battle.
Xiao Muhuai then summoned his secret guards to handle the follow-up matters.
Afterwards, he took Lu Huaiyuan back to the Regent's Palace.
What happened tonight was within Lu Huaiyuan's expectations, so he was not surprised.
He originally wanted to force Jun Chengyan to take action, but he didn't know that the other party was so impatient, and he didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.
It was just that the other party's divine power made him feel familiar, but for the time being, he couldn't figure out why.
-----------------
Although Xiao Muhuai had not discussed this with Lu Huaiyuan in advance, he could vaguely guess what the other party was thinking.
But he didn't know why Lu Huaiyuan did this.
However, he believed that the other party would not hurt him and was willing to cooperate with the other party.
That's why there is this big show tonight.
As for the mastermind behind the assassination, both of them knew it well.
But even though he knew it, it didn't stop Xiao Muhuai from using it as an excuse to cause trouble.
As the regent of Dongling Kingdom, Xiao Muhuai was kidnapped in front of the palace gate and then assassinated.
This matter is indeed of great importance.
He openly raised the matter of his assassination in the court. Even if Jun Chengyan was unwilling, he had no choice but to order people to investigate.
The department officials who received this case were in tears.
But he couldn't refuse in public, so he could only take on the task with great difficulty.
After throwing away this hot potato, Xiao Muhuai looked at Jun Chengyan's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his mood was really good.
Xiao Muhuai did not expect these people to be able to find the murderer, and the reason he did this was simply to make things difficult for others.
As for the results of the investigation into this matter, he actually doesn't care.
After all, what he was more curious about now was something else.
