The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 616

But someone had already formed a bond of life and death with him.

After the performance ended, everyone left.

Xu Tian boarded the carriage of the Northern Zhou envoy alone.

However, the carriage was not going to the home of the Northern Zhou envoy.

Instead, they headed straight out of the city.

Although Xu Tian discovered it, he did not stop it.

"Drive! Drive! Drive!"

With each shout...

The carriage went directly into a dense forest.

The carriage stopped.

Whoosh!

A sword was thrust into the carriage from the outside.

Xu Tian leaned back slightly.

He narrowly avoided the sword.

Then another arrow flew in.

boom!

Xu Tian was instantly thrown off the top of the carriage.

He stood tall atop the carriage like an eagle.

Looking down from above.

There were more than twenty assassins in black, all watching him intently.

At his command, the twenty-odd assassins rushed toward him.

Xu Tian remained calm in the face of danger, and didn't even take them seriously.

Clearly, these assassins were hired by someone else.

Such assassins are only capable of dealing with weak fighters.

Xu Tian recently drew blood, and his entire body was filled with a strong killing intent.

He landed instantly and snatched the longsword from the hand of one of the assassins in front of him.

Bang!

Then came a kick, and the assassin was sent flying a great distance.

Xu Tian gripped his longsword! His bloodthirsty eyes fixed on the assassins before him.

"kill!"

With a low growl.

All the assassins swiftly lunged at Xu Tian.

Like a deadly ghost.

Xu Tian snorted coldly, leaped into the air, and brought his long sword down.

A mournful wail was heard.

The assassin who caught his eye was instantly slit in the throat.

The assassin only collapsed heavily to the ground after Xu Tian had taken a meter's distance.

The assassins were momentarily stunned as several of them had already died.

They never expected that this so-called scholar would possess such formidable martial arts skills!

When they arrived, that's not what their employers said.

"This is how the same thing?"

The leader of the assassins looked at the second-in-command and asked him a question.

The second-in-command was also unaware of the situation, shaking his head to indicate that he was also clueless.

In an instant, only a few of the twenty-odd assassins remained.

As Xu Tian approached them, they began to retreat.

Xu Tian waved his hand, and another person rolled onto the ground.

He didn't even twitch; his head lolled to the side, and he died instantly.

The second-in-command, who was standing at the front, was stunned.

Xu Tian grabbed the assassin who had been giving orders and stepped on his neck.

"Tell me, who sent you?"

He never intended to kill these last few people.

Because these people are just assassins.

The real culprit is still behind them.

The assassin was completely intimidated by Xu Tian's imposing presence.

"I said, I said!"

"If I tell them, will you let them go?"

Even at the very last moment, he was still protecting his men.

Xu Tian nodded.

Finally, Xu Tian learned from the assassins that it was Gu Chi who had bribed them to commit the murder.

However, Xu Tian was not at all surprised by the person who hired someone to commit murder.

Because in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, only Gu Chi was qualified to be a suspect.

He sighed softly to himself.
