C189

Within a few minutes, the activity outside had disappeared and the shop descended into a deathly silence. A heavy atmosphere permeated every corner of the shop and pressed down on everyone's hearts. The deathly silence allowed people to clearly hear their own breathing and the thumping of their hearts.

Xuan Ge rolled his eyes. He took off his outer garment and wrapped it around his hands before walking to the bronze mirror. He smashed the mirror on the dressing table to pieces, took down a piece, and extended his arm through the gap of the door as he quietly observed the situation in the corridor outside.

The killer led by Hou Zhongtian was extremely fast. The fight on the first floor had just ended and only two minutes had passed when a group of killers rushed up with shining long swords and patrolled the rooms.

Just as Xuan Ge was observing with the mirror, he suddenly felt a shadow at the entrance of the corridor. Before he could see clearly, he felt a tremor in his hand. With a "pa" sound, the mirror shattered.

Xuan Ge was so scared that he quickly retracted his hand and pointed to the door, "The killers are coming up!"

As he spoke, everyone present picked up their weapons and stared outside, ready to fight at any moment now.

Sand, sand, sand...

There was a faint sound of footsteps in the corridor, and they could tell that the other party was approaching them.

Facing the assassins sent by Hou Zhongtian, even Yun Weiyang was nervous. With a flick of her wrist, she caught the flying dagger in her hand in advance, just in case she needed it.

As the footsteps drew closer, Xuan Ge and the rest became more and more nervous. Bi Xian and the others fanned out, holding their swords and sabers as they aimed them at the door.

Rustle!

The footsteps stopped in front of the door. Xuan Ge and the rest looked at each other in the eyes as a mutual understanding was formed in their hearts. Holding the crossbows in their hands, they aimed them at the door and began to shoot arrows.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ? The ear-piercing sound of something breaking through the air resounded. For a moment, the door was riddled with holes and was filled with arrows.

Plop!

The sound of something heavy falling to the ground came from outside the door. Xuan Ge and the rest stood there with their bows in hand, not moving at all. Their gazes were still locked on the door. They leaned to the side, stretched out their arms and slowly pushed it open.

Outside the door, there was a dead body with a few arrows on it. However, it was not a killer. It was a bailiff wearing yamen's clothes.

Yun Weiyang, Xuan Ge, Bi Xian, and the others could see everything clearly, and could not help but frown.

At this moment, there was a crisp snapping sound, followed by a green smoke that came rolling in from the outside.

"This is bad!" Bi Xian did not know what it was, but he instinctively believed that it was definitely not good for his side. Without thinking, he waved the Eight Trigrams Dagger in his hand and shot the tube out.

At intervals of less than a second, with a whoosh, the cylindrical tube exploded in the corridor outside the room, as if a dozen suns had suddenly gathered and shone together. The intense, blinding light flashed through the corridor, leaving the room and the corridor in nothing but white.

"Ah ?"

Miserable screams came from both the room and the corridor at the same time. Bi Xian covered his eyes with a face full of tears. He shouted, "What the hell is this thing?"

His vision was not white, but pitch black. Everyone present at the scene was affected by the explosion, including the killers who threw out the tube in the corridor, but what made Yun Weiyang surprised was that in the ancient times, there was actually a flash bomb, and these things were only found in modern times? Even though the bamboo tube that the opponent had thrown was roughly crafted and was not as powerful as the current flash grenades, it had still affected their line of sight. Just what kind of outstanding people were Hou Zhongtian's subordinates? He could actually come up with such a powerful weapon?

However, now was not the time for Yun Weiyang to think about this. In a moment, both sides were blinded, it was clear that the other side's assassins did not expect this thing to be so powerful, both sides immediately became blind.

It was all thanks to Bi Xian's quick reaction that the tube was immediately thrown out. Otherwise, if Yun Weiyang and the rest of the assassins rushed in, none of them would be able to survive.

With one hand holding the crossbow and the other holding it, he groped his way to the door. He closed his eyes, and only fired a few arrows based on his senses.

Although it was just a blind shot, a few screams could still be heard, accompanied by heavy footsteps. It sounded like the other party was retreating out of the corridor.

Panting heavily, Xuan Ge retrieved an arrow from his back, quickly putting it on and continued shooting blindly. It was as if his eyes had not been harmed at all.

The screams from the second floor soon attracted the other assassins over. Those assassins had had their eyes dazzled by the light emitted by the bamboo tube, but they were all fine later on. As a result, it was difficult to deal with them all by themselves.

The white light outside became denser and denser. Although Xuan Ge couldn't see what was going on, he could feel that the number of enemies was increasing. Xuan Ge was suppressed to the point that he didn't dare to show his face, so he could only retreat.

Hearing Xuan Ge's cursing, Yun Weiyang wiped away her tears and asked: "Xuan Ge, what's the situation now?"

"Master, I can't see it either. However, there are a lot of enemies and their firepower is very strong!" Xuan Ge sat against the wall, panting heavily as he spoke.

This was not the way to go on! Now that Xuan Ge's eyes were being illuminated, the rest of them could already imagine what was going on. Their own forces were all blind, but their enemies could see what was going on. Even if Xuan Ge's archery skills were any better, no matter how skilled Thousand Shadows was, Jige would not be able to defend against the enemy.

As he thought about it, even the calm Yun Weiyang started to break out in a cold sweat. It could be seen that the situation in front of him was extremely dangerous.

In fact, the assassins brought over by Hou Zhongtian were not easy to deal with either. They had determined that Yun Weiyang and her men were hiding here, but they did not know that those unknown things they had thrown out had injured the enemies, but from their sharp counterattack, the effects of the bamboo tube thrown out did not seem that great. They suppressed Xuan Ge with their powerful firepower, making him not dare to show his face, but at the same time, they had their own misgivings and did not dare to rashly rush in.

The longer the fight dragged on, the more benefits Yun Weiyang would gain. Seeing the puzzled look on the other party's face, it was clear that they had never used those bamboo tubes before, so no matter what the results were, it was their first time using them, so time passed just like that. First of all, their vision was gradually recovering, and once it returned to normal, the killers' side would not have an advantage.

Hou Zhongtian did not personally take part in the operation and instead sat inside the carriage to carry out the orders. Knowing that his own people were afraid of the other party's sharp archery and did not dare to charge in, Hou Zhongtian became anxious and immediately sent out an order to his leader: "Since we have already trapped Yun Weiyang, why not charge in? "Do you want to delay the arrival of the officials from the Southern Dynasty?"

The leader was a man in his thirties. He tightened his grip on his long blade and said seriously, "Big brother, I'm worried about our brother's casualties ?"

"You don't even have to care about our brothers' casualties. Your mission is to kill Yun Weiyang. No matter how much damage you pay, you can forget about it!"

"Yes, big brother, I understand!" The leader took a deep breath and shouted to his subordinates, "Two people per group, charge forward. If the first group is finished, the second group will follow. If not, the third group, the fourth group ? In short, kill Yun Weiyang for me. "

Knowing that Hou Zhongtian had given the death order, the assassins steeled their hearts and prepared to charge forward with the determination to die.

However, at this critical moment, the members of Cloud Dragon Association who were hiding in various corners of the second floor suddenly rushed out. These men, one by one, raised their steel blades high, and like ferocious tigers, charged straight towards the assassins.

Hou Zhongtian's assassins were all shocked. They instinctively picked up their swords and brandished their swords at them.

Puff ? Plop ?

Each move was simple and efficient, and not long after, seven or eight Cloud Dragon Gang members fell to the ground, either dead or wounded, screaming and screaming in succession. On one side was a well-trained killer, and on the other was a man with medium strength.

Inside the room, Yun Weiyang and the others could hear everything clearly. They knew that their brothers must have rushed out at the most crucial moment to attract the enemy's attention. This was the brothers using their own lives to buy time for them!

Listening to the screams outside, Yun Weiyang and the rest felt as though their hearts had been cut by knives. She, Yun Weiyang, was ruthless, cunning and sinister, but the people below her were extremely good. Sometimes, it seemed like Xuan Ge and the others were extremely protective of them, but in her heart, she was very clear that the person who shielded the most was none other than herself.

Xuan Ge's nose stung, and he couldn't tell if the tears on his face were because of the intense light or because of his brothers who were risking their lives outside. He turned his head and shouted, "Bi Xian, Jigger... Fight back! " With his voice, Bee, and Giggle used the door frame as cover to launch a group of blind shots at the outside.

As for Ina, Thousand Shadows, she would occasionally give her opponent a sneak attack. Although her eyes weren't very good and the projectile would not hit the vital parts of her body, it still affected her opponent's movements.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The sounds of arrows piercing through the air were like muffled thunder, echoing within the shop for a long time.

The assassins couldn't dodge in time and were hit by the arrows. They howled as they fell to the ground and rolled on the ground in pain. The heart-rending scream had stimulated everyone's nerves.
