Chapter 79 The Slaughter Begins, Arrows Sweep Across the Sky (Please Subscribe)

Moon stars are rare.

Figures moved about on the roads leading to Linjiabao.

It was the third quarter of the hour of Xu (7:45 PM).

Su Chen and the others were arranged to stay on a mountain path in the northwest direction, less than a mile away from Lin Family Fort.

If things go as expected, the group will arrive at Linjiabao in no more than half an hour.

This group included not only members of the Hong Family Martial Arts School, but also members of other martial arts schools, including the Huang Family and the Jiang Family.

Led by more than ten soldiers, the group slowly approached Linjiabao and arrived at the city walls of Linjiabao after about half an hour.

The dozen or so soldiers did not continue their actions, but instead signaled to everyone to wait quietly.

This situation naturally aroused suspicion among everyone.

Su Chen looked around, and apart from the chirping of insects, it was eerily quiet.

In the distance, faint lights and the figures of the defenders of Lianyun Village could be seen.

"Master, weren't we supposed to start at midnight? Why did we have to set off at 7 p.m., and now we're still waiting here?"

Qin Hao wasn't the only one who shared this thought. Faced with Qin Hao's question, one of the soldiers impatiently said, "Just wait when I tell you to, stop talking nonsense!"

"You..." Upon hearing this, Qin Hao's face immediately turned red, his eyes filled with resentment.

Hong Ming stopped him in time, shook his head, and said nothing.

"Just wait, it won't be long," another soldier said casually.

Some people's expressions changed slightly upon hearing this, as if they had guessed something.

Su Chen looked thoughtfully at Lin Family Fortress ahead. If he wasn't mistaken, the so-called midnight attack was just a pretext.

"When you make your move later, be careful of people from other martial arts schools!"

Not only did he guess it, but Hong Ming also guessed it, and reminded Su Chen and the others.

Qin Hao was about to speak when Wei Ping stopped him, shook his head, and whispered a few words in Qin Hao's ear.

"Signal has arrived, move out!"

Just as Hong Ming finished giving instructions to everyone, bursts of light appeared not far away. The light flickered three times to the left and four times to the right in the darkness before being extinguished.

But the soldiers received a signal and turned to Hong Ming and the others behind them.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious, clearly not expecting the attack to happen so quickly.

"Let's go!"

Hong Ming said something in a low voice, then followed the soldiers around to the side gate of Linjiabao.

Upon arriving at the side door, they discovered it was already open, and everyone walked in without hindrance.

The bandits guarding the side gate of Lianyun Village had been killed, and their corpses lay on both sides of the road, the ground covered in crimson blood, making them look particularly gruesome.

"Follow up quickly!"

The soldiers whispered, not daring to waste a single moment, intending to rejoin the main force as soon as possible.

After walking for ten minutes on the street, the group finally rejoined the main group.

Tao Dingfang, dressed in full armor, strode confidently with his troops, followed by numerous martial arts forces from White Stone City.

Hong Ming and the others joined the team like rivers flowing into the sea.

"The inner city of Lin Family Fortress is just ahead!"

Su Chen looked at the buildings at the end of the street, which were clearly different from those in the outer city, and a strange feeling flashed through his mind.

Quiet!

It's so quiet!
It was so quiet, it was like an abandoned city.

Even if the people of Lianyun Village didn't know they had launched a surprise attack beforehand, they shouldn't have been so quiet.

Moreover, what made Su Chen even more suspicious was that this operation seemed to have gone too smoothly, so smoothly that they broke into Lianyun Village with almost no losses.

"Master, let's slow down and stay at the back," Su Chen said to Hong Ming in a voice only the two of them could hear. Hong Ming nodded and slowed down, while Su Chen reminded the others. With everyone deliberately slowing down, they quickly reached the back of the group.

Deng!
Tao Dingfang, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Someone felt a pang of panic and looked around warily.

After a while.

Wow!
"Hahaha, no wonder he is the general that Hong Yue values ​​most!"

Suddenly, bright torches lit up all around, and a group of people emerged from the buildings on both sides of the street like ants.

Archers lay in wait atop the buildings, awaiting their chance.

"You didn't expect that, Tao Dingfang, did you? In the end, it wasn't you who took advantage of the situation, but rather we who waited for the rabbit to run into the tree stump and caught it like a turtle in a jar!"

Zhu Hu strode out, stood in front of the crowd, a smile playing on his lips, and said calmly.

"Haha, I really didn't expect that. I deliberately set off two hours early, but I didn't expect that you would still find out." Tao Dingfang's expression turned serious as he spoke.

"Hmph, you think your plan is brilliant? You probably already knew we had people in White Stone City, and you deliberately tried to release a smokescreen to mislead us, but unfortunately, we turned the tables on you and trapped you." Zhu Bao sneered, speaking with disdain.

Tao Dingfang said in a deep voice, "The plan isn't particularly clever, but do you really think you can trap us with just the people around you?"

"Let's give it a try! Archers, fire!" Zhu Hu ordered.

shhhhhh!
At Zhu Hu's command, the archers lying in ambush on both sides of the street immediately sprang into action, and a dense forest of arrows pierced the night sky and rained down from above.

"Don't panic, follow me and fight your way out!" Tao Dingfang said, and took the lead, swooping forward.

Seeing this, Zhu Hu did not make a move, but instead turned his gaze to Sun Yun, who rushed out without hesitation.

Chi Chi Chi!
A sharp arrow streaked across the sky.

This completely disrupted Tao Dingfang's team.

"Be careful, everyone stay close together!"

Hong Ming reached out and grabbed an arrow that was about to hit Qin Hao, then shouted. Upon hearing this, Su Chen and the others quickly moved closer together.

"Haha, Junior Brother Su, I never thought we'd have a chance to fight side by side!"

Li Mo, leaning against Su Chen, tried to find humor in the situation and laughed.

"Senior brother, be careful!" Su Chen smiled after hearing this, then suddenly a cold light flashed and he grabbed a sharp arrow.

"Thank you, junior brother!" Upon seeing this, Li Mo's gaze sharpened, and he said gratefully, still feeling lingering fear.

If it weren't for Su Chen, that arrow would have hit him, and he would have been injured even if he hadn't died.

Su Chen shook his head without saying anything more; these arrows did little harm to him.

Thanks to his Tortoise Shell Technique and Iron Shirt, his body is not invulnerable to swords and spears, but his defense is definitely not low. As long as he is not careless, even if an arrow of this level hits him, it will not be able to penetrate his skin.

While Su Chen and his group fought off the arrows from Lianyun Village, Tao Dingfang and Sun Yun had already exchanged blows several times. With a fierce collision, both of them retreated several steps.

“Sun Yun, the protector of the Rebirth Sect!” Tao Dingfang recognized the other party’s identity and chuckled, “He’s indeed got some skills.”

“You’re not bad either!” Sun Yun said casually, secretly shaking his arm to dissipate Tao Dingfang’s strength.

"Unfortunately, I am destined to die here tonight."

"If you're here to spout nonsense, I think you don't need to. The current situation is actually disadvantageous for you. It won't be long before you're the only one left."

"not necessarily!"

Tao Dingfang's words startled Sun Yun.

Before he could even ponder the meaning behind those words, screams erupted from the battlefield where Hong Ming was.

One after another.

Amidst these screams, the number of bandits from Lianyun Village decreased at an alarming rate.

Upon seeing this scene, Sun Yun, Zhu Hu, and the others were all shocked, their expressions almost frozen.
