Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 109 Death
"Everyone obey orders!"

The deputy chief of the imperial guards straightened his face and spoke in an increasingly serious tone.

"From now on, anyone who interferes with the Imperial Guard's duties or causes disturbances in the streets will be arrested and detained on the spot, regardless of whether they are the mastermind or an accomplice! Anyone who disobeys will be killed or injured!"

"No one is allowed to move even a step." Having said that, his gaze was no longer just on the personal guards, but he also intentionally or unintentionally swept over the civilians and warriors who were causing trouble, giving them a warning.

After hearing what the deputy chief of the imperial guards said, although they still couldn't leave the street to support the City Lord's Mansion, they could first control the warriors and civilians who were causing trouble, and the situation was much better than before.

"Yes!" The morale of the guards rose, and their voices were deep and in unison.

Seeing this, the people realized that the situation was not right and the direction of development was somewhat beyond their expectations, and they began to have doubts in their hearts.

Even the usually taciturn deputy chief of the imperial guards was rarely angry and learned to adapt. In order to protect themselves, the common people would no longer listen to the instigation of those troublemakers and chose to commit crimes against the wind at this critical juncture.

The people realized the pros and cons of this, fell silent, and began to understand the current situation.

They still stood there motionless, but did not speak anymore, and did not dare to push, shove, beat or scold the guards anymore.

"Cheng!"

The deputy captain of the imperial guards drew his shiny double-edged sword from his waist with one hand, raised it above the heads of the people, and played with it in the air.

The common people had never seen the deputy chief of the imperial guards in such a state before, and they were frightened by the brand-new long sword he raised high, so they retreated step by step and quickly made way for him to pass a path with a wall of people on both sides.

Even the group of troublemakers standing behind the people did not dare to go up against the sword of the outstanding peak warrior.

After all, he has been recognized as the "martial madman" in Qizhou City for many years.

From the first day he stayed in the City Lord's Mansion after his parents passed away, he began to practice martial arts like crazy.

Every day he either studied martial arts manuals or engaged in high-intensity training, never taking a moment's break.

Day after day, year after year, he finally became an outstanding top warrior with his talent and terrifying efforts, and temporarily served as the personal guard of Lord Bai.

……

Soon, the deputy chief of the imperial guards passed through the crowd easily. The path he had opened through the human wall was very smooth and no one blocked his way.

Leaving the crowd, he looked around and saw that he was the only one walking on the entire street in front of the city gate.

He held a long sword in his hand, facing the moonlight, and ran alone towards the City Lord's Mansion...

The three parties that were in chaos on the street before, the royal guards, the common people and the warriors, are now still standing firmly in their original places.

All pairs of eyes were fixed on the same spot, fixated on the figure speeding down the street and gradually moving away from them...

The back view made people feel distressed. The tall figure seemed so small on the wide street.

Looks lonely and a little sad.

……

What these three groups of people didn't know was that at this moment, there was another person standing in the dark, where they could hardly detect him, and witnessed all of this.

And this person is none other than Mr. Sha.

After the deputy captain of the guards left, Sha Lao did not stop and did not hesitate. He tapped his feet along the wall a few times and easily climbed onto the roof of a shop on the street.

Then, like a dragonfly skimming the water, he took big strides lightly towards the city lord's mansion.

Old Sha ran all the way across the rooftops, and soon he leaped down, the City Lord's Mansion in sight. Except for the lack of connected shops near the outskirts of the City Lord's Mansion, Old Sha's route formed an almost straight line.

With his ability, he didn't need to take the long route along the main street like the deputy chief of the guards did, winding his way to the city lord's mansion.

Therefore, although Mr. Sha's speed on the roof was not as fast as the deputy chief of the guards speeding on the avenue, the final result was that Mr. Sha arrived at the City Lord's Mansion earlier than the deputy chief of the guards.

The deputy chief of the bodyguards and Old Sha are both top martial artists. Since Old Sha did not display his own unique skills or higher-level abilities just now, it is impossible for the deputy chief of the bodyguards not to have the strength that Old Sha displayed on the roof just now.

If you think about it carefully, you may still have some concerns or he may have his own persistence in his heart.

……

City Lord's Mansion, in front of the gate.

The entire city lord's mansion was brightly lit, and under the bright moonlight, it looked even more majestic and solemn.

The brighter it is inside the building, the more intense and darker the fighting outside becomes.

The entire city lord's mansion was surrounded by a circle of guards, and the guards at the gate were stacked layer upon layer, with the weaker ones standing in front and the top warriors lined up at the back, closely guarding the gate.

After fighting till now, the elite team of troublemakers has suffered very little damage. On the contrary, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion who are guarding the gate are constantly coming forward in batches, and it can be said that they are giving up their lives in vain.

In fact, when a weaker Heaven-level warrior faces a powerful Peak-level warrior, let alone trying his best to injure the opponent, he may not even be able to fight for a few moves before being easily defeated by those Peak-level warriors.

If the City Lord's Mansion guards' behavior of sending up batches of soldiers could have any effect on those top warriors who were causing trouble, it would only consume their physical strength.

Swords are clashing, it's a fight to the death, there's no retreat, no room for maneuver.

It's a life-and-death contest. No one will show mercy, no one will hold back, and no one dares to even blink, for fear that if they let their guard down in the blink of an eye, they'll be stabbed.

The guards were sent up in batches, and then fell down in batches.

Unlike those elite warriors who were causing trouble, one or two of them would only fall down occasionally when their strength was exhausted and their bodies reached their limits.

It can be seen that the guards of the City Lord's Mansion wanted to send out the weaker guards first to consume the physical strength of those elites, and then send the stronger guards forward when those elites were exhausted and physically exhausted, and then take down those elites in one fell swoop.

Maybe this method does work, but the sacrifice is too much...

But apart from this, they had no other choice, because the number of peak warriors in the guards of the City Lord's Mansion was far less than the number of peak warriors in the elite team that came.

If the guards of those peak warriors go forward first and are consumed one by one by the enemy, then even if the enemy is injured or tired, it will be easy to deal with those warriors below the peak.

Therefore, the method of swapping the order of the weaker Heavenly Rank guards and the guards at the peak level will not work.

In order to avoid the complete destruction of all the people and property in the City Lord's Mansion, they had no choice but to resort to this last resort and watch those warriors who were not strong enough die tragically.

And those weaker guards who knew clearly that they had to play such a role could only watch quietly, wait and fight after entering the field until the last moment of their lives.

They have only one goal, which is to consume the opponent at all costs after entering the court.

Although they were afraid, no one chose to retreat or run away.

They appeared unusually calm. Perhaps they had mentally prepared themselves for this over and over again since the day they became guards.

As Old Sha walked from the outskirts of the City Lord's Mansion towards the main gate, the closer he got, the more corpses piled on the ground he saw, and the more tragic the scene became...
