Fei Xinlan held back her tears as she looked at Xu Jingming. Although emotions were running through her, she knew that this was the most critical moment. There was still a large number of experts from the king’s residence surrounding them.

“I can’t rush out if you’re with me!” Xu Jingming said. “Stay in here for now while I rendezvous with the experts from my sect. I’ll get you after we defeat the residence’s guards.”

“Experts from your sect?” Fei Xinlan was surprised.

“Otherwise, how can I deal with more than a thousand experts? I’ll head out now.” Xu Jingming wore his bronze mask.

“Brother Jing, I’ll wait for you here,” Fei Xinlan said.

!!
Xu Jingming nodded and immediately walked out of the building before closing the door.

Fei Xinlan walked to the window and looked out through the cracks.

Many areas in the residence had torches lit up, illuminating the area, and there was a huge commotion! A large number of guards were gathering over.

There are so many people, Fei Xinlan said silently. Brother Jing is willing to risk his life to save me.

Fei Xinlan was touched. After all, she wasn’t of much value after her brother’s death! Xu Jingming was still willing to take such a huge risk to save her. From her point of view, it was because of camaraderie!

…

The snowfall under the night sky became heavier.

The heavily protected King Qi’s eyes turned bloodshot from his fury. “An assassin actually dares to attack my residence? He even killed Mr. Yu and Master Liu?”

His residence was originally the place he was most at ease with. After all, there were his guard troops and traps. Even if the enemy attacked with a large number of experts, it would be difficult to take down his residence. But this time, Xu Jingming had relied on his mental strength to avoid the traps and storm all the way to him.

This made King Qi taste the danger of death again.

“No matter how powerful you are, let’s see how you face my thousand guards!” King Qi gazed into the distance.

“Attack!”

“Attack!”

A large number of guards swarmed toward Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming was hiding in the darkness as he enveloped the surrounding hundred meters with his mental strength. I’ve consumed Ice Flower Spirit Liquid and cultivated Light Rays, but my spear techniques need to be honed through killing.

“Kill him!” When the guards saw him, they immediately released arrows that tore through the air.

Xu Jingming relied on his senses to lock onto the arrows a hundred meters ahead of time and dodged them with a single step.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Some arrows stabbed into the wall, blasting open a hole. Some shot into the wooden planks, causing them to explode. Some flew past Xu Jingming’s face and into the building.

These guards couldn’t care less about destroying the buildings. They used every method possible—the assassin was just too terrifying.

“Senior Liu died at his hands; this assassin is too strong. Even if more than ten of us rush forward, we will only be sending ourselves to our deaths. We need good teamwork.” The guards were very certain of this as they worked in concert with each other.

Xu Jingming’s figure was like a ghost, but the guards moved extremely quickly as well!

Everyone had cellular-level control. Even though Xu Jingming cultivated the strongest heritage of the human race in the universe and Light Rays had an advantage in speed, Xu Jingming’s relative speed advantage against the guards was limited due to his physique.

The blurry figures of the guards intersected with his!

Hidden weapons shot out!

Poison was sprayed out!

Mighty bows and crossbows shot out again and again! The guards used all their means to deal with Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming treated this as a rare opportunity for training. The siege of the guards did make him feel a sense of danger, but in the bloody battle, he also fully experienced the various profundities recorded in Light Rays.

Guards fell one after another, turning into corpses. Some of them had bloody holes between their brows, some had their throats penetrated, some had their bodies slashed by the speartip, and some didn’t have any visible wounds…

But with his level of spearmanship, as long as the spear brushed past the enemy’s body, the terrifying force contained in it would penetrate their bodies and kill them.

“Kill him! Kill him for me!” Under the heavy protection of the many guards, King Qi looked in Xu Jingming’s direction from afar. Although he couldn’t see clearly, he ordered a large number of subordinates to swarm over!

A one-eyed elder beside King Qi looked into the distance as his expression changed slightly. “Your Highness, that assassin’s strength is beyond imagination. The guards can’t take him down even with their teamwork.”

King Qi’s expression turned ugly. He also realized that although a large number of guards had rushed into the distant darkness, the sounds of fighting continued.

Clearly, the battle hadn’t ceased.

“Commander Gui, mobilize the guards,” King Qi ordered. “I only have one request: Kill that assassin.”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

The one-eyed elder immediately shouted, “The First Guard will set up a Heavenly Net Formation. The Second Guard will use the Saber Mountain Fire Sea Formation. Work together to kill the assassin! Everyone else, protect His Highness and prepare for any other assassins!”

“Yes, sir!” The guards moved as fast as ghosts and quickly formed the formations.

Xu Jingming also noticed the problem. “They’re attacking me with a military formation?”

A military formation could maximize the number advantage.

It’s not suitable for me to face the entire army alone with a spear. At the very least, my spear technique realm isn’t high enough. Xu Jingming immediately disassembled the spear and tied it behind him. At the same time, he picked up two shields from the ground—these were the shields left behind by the dead guards of the residence.

Taking advantage of the time the enemy was taking up formation, he quickly left and arrived at the back garden of King Qi’s residence.

The back garden was very wide and had a lake. The lake affected the military formation to a certain extent.

“Don’t let him escape.” A large group of guards from the King’s residence rushed over. As qualified experts, they were extremely fast.

They were also worried that the assassin would escape the King’s residence while they were ‘taking up the military formation,’ but in fact, Xu Jingming didn’t escape.
