Although night had fallen, with the help of the hazy moonlight and lanterns within the courtyard, a large group of masters like Xu Jingming, who could control at the cellular level, could clearly see what was happening inside the courtyard.
"Protect Your Highness!" The twelve guards, who had been standing scattered about the hall, instantly rushed to the entrance, attempting to block the enemy.
"Stop them!"
Cheng Yanan in the hall anxiously commanded.
"Go!" Swordmaster Wang, the gray-haired elder, urged. Immediately, he led the people around him to break through the walls of the hall and flee outwards.
Sword King and Xun Shengshi, both extraordinary individuals, made the same decision unanimously - to have their twelve guards hold back and delay the pursuit while they fled with all their might.
"The visitors are not friendly." Sword Law King's eyes blazed with anger, "At least three top-tier masters leading the charge, the enemy must be fully prepared! Who betrayed me? Who leaked my whereabouts?"
At this moment, Jian Fa Wang instinctively thought that this terrifying raiding party was targeting him!
Because he had the highest status and greatest influence present.
The title "Prince of Yan" sounds impressive, like a powerful prince. But in reality, his influence was very limited. Even the Prince of Yan himself didn't care!
Xun Sheng, although powerful, is only a lay expert.
He is the sword master! Ranking among the top five in the Red Lotus Sect, he has been traveling the world for a long time and successfully supported several rebel forces, earning him immense prestige. The current Sect Master is getting old, and he even has the potential to become the next one.
As a high-ranking member of the rebel faction, he dared not make a public appearance in the capital.
"I came here secretly tonight. My eight attendants are always by my side, never leaving an inch. Only Yao'er and Yanran have the opportunity to betray me, but they both underwent the 'Red Lotus Heart Washing', shouldn't they be loyal? Then what went wrong?" Sword King thought to himself.
He didn't feel that the other people present could attract such a large-scale assassination.
“Someone assassinated the master?” Cheng Yanran was also taken aback by this scene, “The Honglian Sect is ruthless and has many enemies. There are quite a few who want to kill the master. The Heilin Sect is also at odds with the Honglian Sect, and both have the possibility of assassinating the master. Am I being implicated?”
Xun Sheng's eyes turned cold: "Where did this formidable foe come from? Their mental power is no less than mine. These three enemies are considered top-tier even among super first-rate masters!"
Such terrifying spiritual power that most top-tier masters cannot achieve.
This is also the reason why Jian Fa Wang and Xun Sheng Shi led their men to flee without hesitation! The enemy was too powerful, and if they fought head-on, they had no chance of victory.
……
Xu Jingming and over sixty other masters, each transformed into a shadow, rushed straight towards the main hall. Seeing this, the twelve guards were also terrified.
"Form a battle array."
The twelve guards were all battle-hardened veterans. Even though they were nervous, none of them fled.
Xu Jingming and others acted mercilessly, fully executing Pang Ze's plan.
With three masters of the Eighth Stage as the spearhead, and other first-rate experts cooperating, they would first deal with the twelve guards.
"Pff." "Hmph." "Rip—"
Blades flash!
Blades of light flash!

Two fists are no match for four hands. With twelve guards suddenly facing so many enemies, and three eighth-rank experts among them, almost every exchange left one of the guards down. Four fell in an instant.
The remaining eight were naturally killed shortly after, with no more than five seconds passing between the two events!
"There are top-tier masters!"
"Ah!"
Amidst the piercing screams, all twelve guards fell, a pool of blood staining the ground. Xu Jingming and the others didn't even pause, charging into the hall. They saw that one wall had been shattered, and Cheng Yanran, Jian Fa Wang, Xun Shengshi, and the others had fled in that direction.

Under the psychic power of an eighth-rank master, they could completely pinpoint the location of Cheng Yanan and the others.
"Chase!" Xu Jingming and the others quickly caught up.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Rescue arrows shot into the sky one after another.
These arrows, unlike the Blood Rain Arrows, burst into golden patterns in the air, representing the status of the Yan Wangfu.
Apparently, the guards around knew that the enemy was strong and had also sent arrows to call for reinforcements.
"Swish, swish, swish..." Guards were scattered around the courtyard and immediately converged on Cheng Yanran to protect his Highness.
"Damn Yu Feng, he has mobilized thirty top-notch experts in total." Cheng Yanran watched as one by one they arrived and converged, protecting the dark guards around them. He grew even more resentful of Yu Feng, and also his father, King Yan.
“Originally, I had twelve guards and thirty-eight undercover agents, all first-rate masters. Plus Senior Xun's protection. Even if we encountered danger, so many masters would be enough to protect me from escaping.” Cheng Yanran secretly hated, “But now there are only eighteen undercover agents, and less than ten have arrived!”
As for the twelve guards in plain sight, they have all fallen!
Cheng Yanan felt a strong sense of crisis!
When Wang Jianfa and Xun Shengshi, who were escaping, saw the distance, they couldn't help but change their color: "Not good!"
As soon as the large group of them burst out of the courtyard, they saw countless figures appearing from all directions. Some trailed along the streets, others leaped across rooftops, and still others crept along the walls, converging upon them from every side.
This is precisely another team led by Liu Hai, consisting of a hundred second-rate masters. Of course, only fifty to sixty came first to intercept, and some other second-rate masters are rushing over at full speed.
"Stop them!" Liu Hai and the others had no fear in their eyes. As players of the Cosmic Citizen game, they were not afraid of death, but rather looked forward to fighting against masters!
Break through them!
Sword Law King, Xun Shengshi, Cheng Yanran, the one-armed woman, eight Red Lotus Sect masters, and the eleven newly arrived dark guards also fought desperately. If they had enough time, this group of masters could completely defeat Liu Hai's second-rate team.
But they didn't have time to waste!
"Bang bang bang!"
A brutal battle erupted in an instant.
Even Sword King and Xun Saint-Officer, these two top-tier masters, fought desperately. One wielded twin swords, the other a blade thin as a cicada's wing, they hacked through any enemy that dared to stand in their path, enduring rain of darts and thrown weapons alike.
"Kill." Prince Cheng Yanran, also unsheathed the two swords at his waist and fought desperately. He was indeed talented to be able to learn swordsmanship from Sword Master Wang. What the outside world didn't know was that Prince Yan had quietly reached the realm of a first-rate expert!
At this moment, Cheng Yanan was madly attacking the enemy before him. The masters of the Red Lotus Sect and the dark guards beside him were all acting like lunatics.
But—

Universe Citizen players go even crazier! More reckless!

"They are not afraid of death!"
"They are all death soldiers!"
Jiànfǎ Wáng, Xún Shèngshǐ and others were disheartened.
When an enemy is fearless in the face of death, their offensive threat becomes much more formidable.
Although it was just a brief encounter, Sword Law King and his group killed over ten experts who tried to block their way. However, in the few seconds they were delayed, Xu Jingming, three eighth-order masters, and sixty first-rate masters had already caught up.
Snort snort snort ——
Many masters quickly surrounded Wang Jianfa and his group.
"Stop." Sword King spoke.
Xu Jingming extended his hand slightly, and the masters really stopped.
The Dark Guards of the Prince Yan's mansion had just released their signal arrows! Within ten minutes, only a limited number of masters could arrive. Xu Jingming knew very well that there was still enough time.
