Chapter 154: Died of self-poisoning
In an instant, more than a dozen people in black clothes all stood still like statues, and Fusu was no exception.
"Die to me!"
Zhang Liang still protected Fusu tightly, waving the long sword in his hand. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen sword lights flashed by, and those black-clad assassins were all killed by Zhang Liang before they could make a move.
However, Zhang Liang did not let down his guard. If these few idiots and a dozen assassins in black were to threaten him, it would be impossible. Since someone dared to assassinate him, there must be follow-up arrangements.
Sure enough, at the same time Zhang Liang killed those black-clad assassins, a cold light shot out from his side.
It was an arrow, the shaft of which was thicker than a finger, the arrowhead was sharp and large, and it was as fast as lightning, with a strange and tricky angle, and it was shot at the critical moment when Zhang Liang was dealing with the black-clad killer. The timing was just right.
If it were an ordinary master-level expert, he would probably be seriously injured even if he could save his life under such an arrow, not to mention having to protect Fusu.
But Zhang Liang was obviously not in this category. He grabbed Fusu's shoulder and flashed like a meteor, almost brushing past the arrow and successfully avoiding it.
But this was not the end. As soon as the first arrow passed, the second arrow came right after, leaving Zhang Liang no chance to catch his breath.
"snort!"
Zhang Liang snorted lightly, and swung the sword in his hand like a streak of silk, chopping the second arrow into pieces.
However, in the blink of an eye, Zhang Liang felt a chill on his back. The arrow that he had just avoided turned around and shot towards his back again.
“Can an arrow turn?”
At this time, Zhang Liang was indeed a little careless and did not expect such a situation to happen.
However, this alone was not enough to take Zhang Liang's life, so he quickly stabbed back with his hand, trying to block the arrow.
At this moment, a sinister and strange sword light suddenly stabbed towards Fusu from under the eaves next to him.
Fast, fierce, accurate, and amazing! Even in Zhang Liang's opinion, this sword was a nearly perfect assassin's sword, enough to kill a master-level expert. However, what made him more alert was the opponent's hidden skills, which had not revealed a single trace of his aura before.
"Get away!"
Zhang Liang let out a low shout, and his figure changed as quickly as light and shadow. In an instant, he split into several phantoms, each blocking the fatal sword.
Swords and arrows intertwined, and the offensive continued unabated. Several phantom bodies of Zhang Liang flashed, and although he tried his best to protect Fusu, with the opponent's clever cooperation, he was unable to break the deadlock and kill the enemy to escape.
This stalemate lasted for more than a dozen breaths.
"Something is wrong. They must have some hidden cards that they haven't played yet. If they fail to hit the target in Xianyang City, they should immediately withdraw. How could they delay for so long?"
Zhang Liang's thoughts turned rapidly and he deliberately revealed a flaw.
Facing the siege of top assassins and top archers, and having to protect Fusu, Zhang Liang's situation was already quite difficult, so it was not surprising that he showed flaws.
At this moment, a deep blue light came as if it had traveled through space.
It was a blue needle, carrying endless coldness. Even though the distance was far, Zhang Liang could still feel the extreme coldness coming from the needle.
"Don't let it pierce you, not even a little bit!"
This needle was not pointed at Zhang Liang, but at Fusu. At the same time, the assassin and the archer also rushed towards Fusu, especially the assassin with the sword, who didn't care about his life or death at all. The sword light that burst out at that moment shocked Zhang Liang.
"Do these people want to kill me or Fusu?"
Zhang Liang cursed in his heart, but he had no time to think now. Three attacks approached Fusu at the same time. Even Zhang Liang himself found it difficult to deal with them, not to mention that they were targeting Fusu.
"Hundred Death Battle Body!"
"Sword of Immortality!"
Zhang Liang roared, not holding back any more strength.
The "Hundred Deaths Battle Body" was directly opened to the second level, and the power of the "Eternal Life Sword" was also fully stimulated.
In an instant, Zhang Liang's strength was comparable to or even slightly better than those top masters.
"brush!"
A flash of sword light flashed, and Zhang Liang cut off the assassin's arm with one sword. Then he turned the sword tip and pointed it directly at the blue needle.
"Ding!"
A crisp collision sound was heard, and the blue needle instantly turned into powder, and the blue smoke continued to cover Zhang Liang and Fusu.
"withdraw!"
Zhang Liang didn't have time to think too much, he pulled Fusu up and retreated quickly.
At this moment, the archer's attack also arrived, and three arrows flew in a triangle formation.
“Ding! Ding!”
Zhang Liang swung his sword and cut off two arrows in succession, but he could not avoid the last arrow and it flew straight towards Fusu.
"snort!"
Zhang Liang made a prompt decision that nothing must happen to Fusu at this time, otherwise it would be too late to say anything.
He just slightly turned his body and used his body to block Fusu without hesitation.
The last arrow pierced Zhang Liang's shoulder directly.
"Ding!"
It was like the sound of knocking on metal. Zhang Liang focused on his physical body, and his physical body was so strong that even if the arrow was strong enough to penetrate steel thicker than a person, it could not penetrate Zhang Liang's body.
The arrow only penetrated about an inch into Zhang Liang's body and could not go any deeper, finally stopping on him.
In the distance, there was silence. The archer and the man who shot the blue needle had disappeared without a trace, and the assassin with the sword had taken poison and died after Zhang Liang cut off one of his arms.
