118: 118 118: 118 Soon, the two of them approached the vicinity of the Central Army Tent.

However, when they saw the dense mass of guards outside the tent, their expressions couldn’t help but darken slightly.

The Beiyuan City Lord had, unexpectedly, placed over a hundred guards outside the tent!

The entire Central Army Tent was defended to the point of being impenetrable!

“Is the Gold Army Commander so afraid of death that he keeps so many guards close by?”

Lu Li’s face darkened slightly.

It seemed that the Gold Army Commander had probably anticipated that someone might come to assassinate him and was well prepared.

Lin Yi looked towards Lu Li and said, “I will draw away the guards, and you go take the Jin Kingdom’s Commander’s head, how about it?”

“I certainly have no problem, but are you sure you can do it?”

Lu Li looked at Lin Yi doubtfully.

Aside from the hundreds of trusted aides outside the Central Army Tent, there were also several hundred patrol soldiers nearby.

Once Lin Yi made his move, he would immediately be surrounded!

Escaping would be no easy task!

It would be even harder than assassinating the Gold Army Commander!

“A real man’s dictionary does not contain the words ‘cannot’!”

Lin Yi swept his hand decisively and then burst out like lightning!

With one sword strike, several Sword Qi shot out!

In an instant, more than a dozen trusted aides were directly cleaved at the waist by the Sword Qi!

They died tragically on the spot!

“Assassins!”

Slain by Lin Yi, the remaining trusted aides were utterly panicked.

They immediately swarmed forward, attacking Lin Yi!

Including the nearby patrol soldiers who were alerted, several hundred were converging on this spot!

Meanwhile, as Lin Yi commenced his action, Lu Li had already taken the opportunity to sneak into the Central Army Tent!

Inside the tent at that moment, the Gold Army Commander’s face suddenly changed.

His camp was so tightly guarded, yet still, an assassin dared to come and try to kill him?

“Courting death!”

A cold glint suddenly flashed in the Gold Army Commander’s eyes.

He had already set up a “Heaven and Earth Net” outside the tent.

This assassin thought to kill him was akin to a moth flying into the flame!

Just as the Gold Army Commander was sneering, he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind!

He spun around abruptly, only to see a woman who had unknowingly infiltrated the tent, “Who?!”

Another assassin?

However, the woman did not waste words and drew her sword to strike!

The Gold Army Commander’s pupils contracted, but he did not panic.

He was, after all, a Fourth Realm Grandmaster, a prominent figure in the Jin Country’s army!

How could he be easily assassinated?

He picked up a long spear and thrust it out!

Clang!

But to his surprise, just one strike caused sparks to fly, and the Gold Army Commander’s spear was instantly sent flying!

“What?!”

The Gold Army Commander was utterly shocked.

Just one strike, and his weapon was sent flying by this female assassin?

How could this be possible?

Unfortunately, he didn’t have much time to think as the woman’s sword struck!

Under the Gold Army Commander’s terrified expression, she severed his head.

“Job done!”

Lifting the head of the Jin Army Commander, Lu Li swiftly dashed out of the Central Army Tent!

At this moment, Lin Yi, after causing havoc near the Central Army Tent, was escaping towards the south gate according to the plan!

As for the Jin Army Commander of Beiyuan City, with Lu Li taking action, he was absolutely reassured, even deeming it unnecessary to take a look.

At this moment, the granaries in Beiyuan City had erupted into massive flames.

This threw the Golden Soldiers inside the city into complete chaos.

At the south city gate.

Lin Yi and Lu Li met first.

Han Cheng and Xu Sanqian along with other members of Fierce People Gang arrived shortly after.

Seeing the head of the Jin Army Commander in Lu Li’s hand, Lin Yi’s eyes lit up immediately, and he gave Lu Li a thumbs up, “Truly worthy of being the leader of the Fierce People Gang!”

However, Lu Li shook her head indifferently, “It was as easy as fetching an item from a bag.”

Just as the two were about to leave the city, they found the city gate blocked by a dense crowd of Golden Soldiers, possibly numbering in the thousands!

“How come all these Golden Soldiers are gathered at the south gate?”

Lin Yi’s face darkened, “Could it be that our plan to meet at the south gate was leaked?

That shouldn’t be!”

“Is it possible that it’s just a fluke encounter?”

Lu Li furrowed her brows, “We just happened to run into the muzzle of the Jin army.”

Facing this dark mass of Golden Soldiers, Han Cheng’s face stretched long, “Damn, I didn’t check the almanac before leaving the house today, our luck is just too bad!”

“What’s there to be afraid of, each of us can fight a hundred foes, let’s just fight our way out!”

The tall Yue Buyi declared boldly.

“But there are ten thousand enemies…”

Xu Sanqian said softly from the side.

Even if each of them could fight a hundred, it still seemed more than tenfold less!

Lin Yi’s eyes darted about and he suddenly snatched the head of the Jin Army Commander from Lu Li’s hands, lifted it high and shouted, “Your commander is dead, cease your futile resistance, or death is the only path left for you!”

Clearly, Lin Yi intended to use the head of the Jin Army Commander to intimidate the Golden Country Soldiers!

However, after Lin Yi’s words fell, aside from a few Golden Country Soldiers showing slight uncertainty, most of the Golden Country Soldiers remained indifferent, still fixing Lin Yi and the others with fierce gazes.

Lin Yi immediately frowned, it seemed this move wasn’t very effective!

After all, there were just too many soldiers from Jin Country!

Lu Li, standing beside him, directly mocked, “Thinking you can subdue ten thousand soldiers with just a commander’s head, what are you dreaming about?”

Lin Yi smiled awkwardly, and the next second, he threw the head out, and suddenly cleaved through several Golden Country Soldiers with his sword, roaring, “If you won’t surrender, then fight to the death!”

Lu Li and the members of the Fierce People Gang also charged into the Jin army ranks, drew their swords, and quickly hacked their way through, carving out a bloody path!

This scene left the Golden Country Soldiers stunned, questioning who had given this band of men the courage to launch such an assault.

At this moment, even they were confused as to who really had the upper hand.

After a chaotic slaughter that left behind hundreds of corpses, the Golden Country Soldiers finally snapped to their senses.

One of the lower leaders immediately shouted authoritatively, “Kill them, avenge the commander!”

Under this leader’s call, a large contingent of Golden Country Soldiers stared down Lin Yi and the eight others with murderous rage!

However, as soon as the leader’s voice faded, his head suddenly flew up and rolled on the ground.

Beside the severed head, Lin Yi spat, “You talk too much!”

But even after killing the shouting leader, the situation for the nine of them did not improve.

With a tide-like surge of Golden Soldiers constantly streaming in, including quite a few from the Spirit Transformation Realm, their relatively weak individual strength, bolstered by sheer numbers, made it difficult for Lin Yi and his group to break through the encirclement!

Despite the piles of corpses of Golden Soldiers resembling mountains, and thousands falling in battle, the formation of the Golden Soldiers remained unbroken, and Lin Yi and his company were all wounded!

Things were looking dire!

But just then,

Suddenly, a rapid onslaught of arrows swept down, striking down amongst the crowd of Golden Soldiers, toppling them over!

A wave of arrows instantly killed hundreds of Golden Soldiers, and Lin Yi and the eight, relying on their formidable strength, avoided this volley of arrows, then immediately looked towards the south, where a troop from the Shi Country Army had clearly appeared!
