Chapter 484 Mysterious Man
Seeing the chaos around him, Huo Gang decisively protected Ling Ziyan behind him. He caught a glimpse of a door deep in the hall from the corner of his eye. He turned back suddenly and said solemnly, "Princess, leave!"
Ling Ziyan's face was as cold as frost, and she walked towards the door under the escort of two maids.
Behind the door is a quiet inner room. Although the space is small, it is arranged in an orderly manner.
After Ling Ziyan walked into the inner room, she sat down on a chair in the room. Her face was ashen and her eyes were cold, as if they could freeze everything around her.
Huo Gang followed closely behind. He first looked around cautiously, then turned around and said, "Princess, don't worry. There is no need to be afraid of such rats. The guards of the City Lord's Mansion should come to reinforce us soon!"
Ling Ziyan cast a cold gaze on Huo Gang and said in a deep voice: "The Imperial Guards are my personal guards, yet they have managed to infiltrate so many rebels! Huo Gang, shouldn't you explain this to me?"
Huo Gang was shocked when he heard this, and then he knelt on the ground, knocking his forehead against the ground heavily, and said in a trembling voice: "I deserve to die, please punish me, Princess!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the two maids beside Ling Ziyan drew their swords at the same time and placed them on Huo Gang's shoulders. As long as Ling Ziyan gave the order, they would be able to kill Huo Gang.
Ling Ziyan took a deep look at Huo Gang and said in a serious tone: "Go and find out who the assassin and his accomplices are!"
Hearing the order, the two maids sheathed their swords. Huo Gang also felt relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief, stood up from the ground, bowed and said, "I obey your command!"
What was unexpected was that as soon as he stood up, he thrust the sword in his hand forward suddenly...
The sword was so sudden that at the moment Huo Gang drew the sword, his facial features began to distort because he was too nervous.
The maid in front of him was caught off guard and was stabbed in the chest by a sword. With a dull "plop" sound, the sword pierced through her heart and appeared on her back.
The maid opened her eyes wide, looked at Huo Gang in disbelief, and whispered in a trembling voice: "You..."
Before he finished speaking, Huo Gang suddenly drew his sword, with a hint of scarlet on the blade, and then swung it at another maid.
The maid was still in shock, and when she saw the cold light flash, she instinctively leaned back to avoid it...
hiss!
The sword blade slashed across her chest, tearing her clothes and cutting her skin. Blood gushed out, turning her eyes red.
She screamed, her face turned pale as paper, and she backed away repeatedly.
When Huo Gang saw the maid retreat, he did not chase her, but turned to pounce on Ling Ziyan, with the sword in his hand pointing directly at her throat.
Ling Ziyan was not a martial artist, so facing this sudden murderous intent, she could only sit helplessly on the chair, unable to resist or escape.
At this critical moment, the maid rushed forward desperately and blocked Huo Gang's sword with her body.
The tip of the sword pierced her back. She endured the pain and gripped the sword tightly with both hands to prevent it from going any further.
Her face was as pale as paper, her lips were tightly pursed due to pain, and she used up her last bit of strength to shout to Ling Ziyan: "Princess, run..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she fell to the ground with a bang.
Seeing this, Ling Ziyan was furious. Her cheeks flushed red. She suddenly stood up from her chair and shouted at Huo Gang: "How dare you, Huo Gang!"
Knowing that Ling Ziyan had no martial arts skills and could not even withstand a casual attack from him, Huo Gang still involuntarily took a step back, lowering his eyes, not daring to look her in the face.
His body was shaking, and his sword-holding hand was shaking violently, as if he could hardly hold the sword steadily.
His voice was trembling, filled with endless bitterness and helplessness: "Princess, I... really have no choice! If not, my family, my wife, children, and elders would all die at the hands of the Jin people!"
When Ling Ziyan heard this, she immediately understood that the rebellion in the guards was instigated by Huo Gang behind the scenes. He had already secretly surrendered to the enemy and became a running dog of the Jin people.
Huo Gang swallowed his saliva and continued to tell his difficulties with difficulty: "All this is my fault! The Jin army is approaching with great force. I was afraid that my family would suffer, so I secretly arranged for them to escape. Unexpectedly, they were kidnapped by the Jin people on the way and used this to threaten me. I... was really forced into a desperate situation!"
At this point, Huo Gang suddenly raised his head, the muscles on his face twitching with emotion. He held up the sword that was still dripping with blood, and approached Ling Ziyan step by step, muttering to himself: "Lord Yi, if you are still alive, please don't blame me. I really have no other choice but to do this..."
He walked in front of Ling Ziyan, raised his arms high, but did not dare to put them down.
Ling Ziyan's cold gaze was like an icy sword, piercing his heart and making him lower his head again involuntarily.
In the end, Huo Gang could only close his eyes, grit his teeth, and swing the sword with all his strength.
With a "click" sound, the sword flashed like lightning, splitting the chair Ling Ziyan was sitting on into two halves.
When he opened his eyes, Ling Ziyan had disappeared without a trace.
He was shocked and turned around to look for her, only to see Ling Ziyan standing two meters away safely, with a figure wearing armor appearing beside her.
The man embraced Ling Ziyan with one hand and held a long sword with the other hand, looking very majestic.
What is particularly eye-catching is that two strands of silver hair are scattered in the gap of his collarbone armor, which is very elegant.
Ling Ziyan turned her head and stared, her eyes full of disbelief. The other person was covered in armor, and it was difficult to recognize his true appearance for a moment, but that extremely familiar aura was like a bond that transcended time and space, tightly wrapped around her heartstrings.
When he hugged her waist, an indescribable throbbing surged from the bottom of her heart, and her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
"Is... is it you?" She raised her head, her eyes penetrating the protective mask made of armor, and her voice was trembling with anticipation.
The other party did not respond to her question, but focused his eyes on Huo Gang, slowly raising the long sword in his hand...
Seeing this, Huo Gang on the side roared, and his whole body was covered with armor instantly. He infused the sword in his hand with spirit and swung it violently. The blade cut through the air, trying to devour the two of them with a large-scale killing skill.
The mysterious man waved his sword calmly, and a storm of sharp blades whistled out...
Two powerful attribute skills collided in the air, and the winner was immediately apparent.
The mysterious man's wind blade was like a violent storm, tearing Huo Gang's golden blade into pieces, and the remaining force continued to sweep towards Huo Gang.
Huo Gang's face turned pale and he hurriedly dodged to the side, only to find that the wind blades seemed to have spirituality and adjusted their trajectories according to his body shape, locking him tightly.
This scene was beyond Huo Gang's expectation. His body was ruthlessly swept by the storm of sharp blades and thrown out of the inner room. He was covered in blood mist and fell outside in a mess.
At the same time, several guards rushed into the room and saw a strange martial artist tightly holding Ling Ziyan's slender waist. Without saying anything, they led their troops to attack.
The mysterious man didn't want to fight at all. He flashed like a ghost and rushed towards the window holding Ling Ziyan...
