A cold voice filled with killing intent sounded from the other side.

The dozen or so men in black quickly protected Yan Guangmao. “Boss, bring our lord away first. We’ll hold them back.”

The leader of the men in black glanced at Song Jingchen and jumped onto the roof of the City Lord Residence with Yan Guangmao on his back. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone’s sight.

“Bulwark Duke, be careful, ” Sikong Yi reminded him.

Although this was the first time the two of them had fought side by side, some tacit understanding was naturally formed. There was no need to say anything.

“Alright.” Song Jingchen nodded and chased after him.

Seeing this, the other men in black wanted to stop him, but a large saber blocked in front of them.

Sikong Yi sneered. “Your opponent is me.”

The men in black looked at each other and attacked him in unison. Sikong Yi flew up and dodged. When he landed, he was already behind the group. The men in black stopped.

Sikong Yi, who had been looking down on them just now, smiled and raised his hand. “Fire.”

He had so many people to use. Did they think he was stupid to fight alone?

The men in black were speechless.

After the leader of the men in black left the range of the City Lord Residence with Yan Guangmao, he snatched a soldier’s horse and headed straight for the east city gate.

He was optimistic. There were their guards at the east gate. As long as they left the city, the guards would definitely be able to stop Song Jingchen. Song Jingchen was alone, so it was not impossible for him to die at the hands of the guards if he was unlucky.

However, that was just wishful thinking. Before they could approach the city gate, they heard deafening battle cries from afar.

“The Xuanyuan army has reached the east gate. Go to the south gate,” Yan Guangmao said weakly.

He had yet to recover from his serious injuries. After the jolt on the horse, his wound split open again, and his clothes were dyed red with blood.

At this moment, his face was no longer as calm as before. Instead, it revealed deep anxiety and malice.

It wasn’t only because of Song Jingchen, but also because he was worried about the future of the Wu Kingdom.

He had spent half his life working hard and finally obtained a position above everyone else. He no longer had to live according to anyone’s wishes.

All of this was very likely to be destroyed in a day.

The man in black turned his horse around after receiving the order, but he didn’t forget to look back at Song Jingchen’s position. It didn’t matter if he didn’t look, but when he did, he realized that the young man who was chasing after him didn’t follow.

He frowned. He didn’t have time to think about it. He waved his whip and sped up the horse.

In order to avoid the Great Xia soldiers and the Xuanyuan Army in the city, he tried his best to walk through the alleys.

Seeing that they could see the south city gate after leaving this alley, the man in black heaved a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Song Jingchen darted out of another alley and rushed towards them with a sword in his hand.

Song Jingchen’s sword was wrapped in rich internal energy, and the alley was too small. If they didn’t want to be killed by his sword, they could only abandon the horse. The man in black decisively jumped off the horse with Yan Guangmao and avoided it.

Their horse was injured by Song Jingchen’s sword energy and fell to the ground.

Song Jingchen didn’t give them a chance to react and attacked again.

The man in black dodged with Yan Guangmao. However, there was a limited space and he was still injured by his sword qi. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he used his qinggong to quickly retreat with Yan Guangmao.

“Master, I’ll kill him first.” With that, he helped Yan Guangmao sit down against the wall.

Yan Guangmao also knew that if he didn’t get rid of Song Jingchen, he wouldn’t be able to leave easily, so he didn’t stop him. He instructed, “Let’s end this quickly. Don’t underestimate the enemy.”

“I understand.”

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, he drew the scimitar at his waist and faced Song Jingchen’s attack.

Clang! The swords collided, and the two of them were forced back a few steps by the other party’s internal energy.

Surprise flashed across the man in black’s eyes. Although he had never fought Song Jingchen before, he had seen him attack no less than ten times. The most recent time was the battle between Song Jingchen and Yan Guangmao.

In less than half a month, he could clearly feel that Song Jingchen’s internal energy and speed were stronger than before.

Previously, he only wanted to kill him to escape, but now, he was completely frightened by his growth.

If this person was not eliminated, he would sooner or later become a powerful enemy of the lord and young master.

With this realization, the man in black no longer held back. He circulated his internal energy and threw a killing move at Song Jingchen.

His speed was so fast that only an afterimage was left. However, Song Jingchen’s five senses were already incomparable to ordinary people under the nourishment of the spiritual liquid. Although the man in black was fast, he could still see him clearly.

Song Jingchen’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

The man in black saw his expression and had an ominous feeling. However, his attack was too fast and fierce. It was too late to stop..
