Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

I still don’t know why the army outside is surrounding this place. If they are not sure of their identity yet, it will be funny if I accidentally leave these things behind.

"What?? Da Yan finally couldn't help but want to attack us?!"

Hearing the news, Xi was shocked and angry.

As the incarnation of the Sui Beast, Xi is still somewhat afraid of Dayan. After all, the Sui Beast itself fell into the hands of Dayan back then, so her incarnation is nothing.

However, because Dayan was worried about them being defeated, and because most of the incarnations of the Year Beast did not pose a threat, he never took action against them. The two sides have maintained this fragile balance until now.

What makes Xi angry is that after so many years, Dayan actually wants to ignore their achievements and attack the incarnation of the beast?

Not to mention that her eldest brother and eldest sister had guarded the border for them for thousands of years, nor how much help her brothers and sisters had helped in the process of mobile urbanization in Yan country. Even Xi herself had made a considerable contribution to Dayan.

Even if Xi is not very willing to admit that calligraphy and painting are one, the current special skill of the Dayan Rites Department, the talisman, was completed with the help of Xi and her third sister.

Xi completely detested Dayan's practice of killing people and wanted to rush out immediately to kill all the troops surrounding them.

Even if Xi is not good at fighting, it depends on who her opponents are. If it is an old monster like Zhang Daoling, she will naturally not be her opponent, but Xi is not something that just any mortal can compete with.

"Calm down first, there may be some misunderstanding here." Li Ang comforted Xi helplessly.

Now we can't let Xi do it casually. If we really let Xi rush out and kill all those soldiers, there will really be no room for maneuver.

"Misunderstanding? Haven't they already surrounded this place? Is there any other misunderstanding?"

"Have you forgotten Jingzhe? She has not come back since she left in the morning, and then officers and soldiers surrounded the place." Li Ang calmly analyzed the situation in front of him.

"Isn't she the one who called these officers and soldiers?" Xi said coldly.

"In my opinion, this is exactly the opposite." Li Ang shook his head, "The most likely scenario is that something happened to Jingzhe."

Li Ang has not forgotten why Jingzhe, one of the Nine Qings, hid in this remote courtyard, and why the master of the Tianshi Mansion simply explained the situation and left in a hurry. They still have enemies inside Dayan. And the enemy's power is not small, so they have to move carefully.

Now it seems that Jingzhe didn't know what went wrong, and she ended up accidentally leaking the news.

However... not much information should have been leaked, as can be seen from the number of troops gathered outside.

Perhaps for ordinary people, or even most warlocks, a military formation composed of hundreds of soldiers will be an invincible opponent, but for the incarnation of the beast, this is something that people are somewhat powerless to deal with. Even Xi, who is least good at fighting, can catch all these people and walk away.

In other words... the incarnation of the Sui Beast has not been leaked. Are the hostile forces just aware that someone is here to interact with Jingzhe?

But the question is, what about her now?

If Li Ang's guess is the same, then Jingzhe's current situation may not be good.

"...I understand, brother, what do you decide to do?"

Under Li Ang's persuasion, Xi finally calmed down.

"Pack up everything, we are going to evacuate first." Li Ang replied, "Adele, have you packed it up yet?"

"It's already packed," Adele replied.

In fact, the two of them didn't have many things that they had to take with them. Most of the luggage was personal belongings and could be given up at any time. If necessary, they could spend money to buy them again.

But now with Xi's ability, they can take most of the things away.

Some time ago, Li Ang was still thinking about how convenient it would be to use this kind of scroll to store things. Unexpectedly, less than half a month later, he had already used it himself. His fate was really unpredictable.

"Then let's put them all in Jin Xi's paintings." Li Ang said.

Later, just as Adele stuffed the messy luggage into the painting and was about to stuff the painting of Sagazaki City into it, Xi suddenly stopped her.

"That painting can't go in."

Just like a space ring cannot be inserted into a space ring, another painting cannot be inserted into one of Xi's paintings, otherwise both paintings will collapse for some unknown reason, and living things cannot be painted. If you stay there for too long, you may be assimilated into the world inside the painting and never be able to get out of it.

But even with so many shortcomings, Xi's ability is already strong enough.

"You all go in, those guys are about to take action."

After all the luggage was packed, Li Ang said to Xi and Adele.

"...brother?"

Xi looked a little reluctant, as if she wanted to stay outside to help Li Ang.

"They are not aware of your existence yet, and it is not suitable for you to appear in front of them now."

What's more, Li Ang has no point in getting entangled with them here.

It's still unclear whether these are enemies or third parties who have been fooled. What if all these people are eliminated?

And if he just wants to break through the siege outside, it will definitely be much more convenient for Li Ang to move alone. He only needs to protect the two scrolls on his body, and although the scroll drawn by Yu Xi is not indestructible, it is definitely not like Ordinary paper is so fragile, otherwise it would not be immortal for thousands of years.

In the end, Li Ang persuaded Xi. Just after they entered the scroll, Li Ang had just packed up the two paintings when he heard a loud shout from outside.

"Shoot arrows!!"

Chapter 34 Siege

"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-"

Arrows poured out from dozens of crossbows, tearing apart the curtain of heavy rain.

In a series of popping sounds, the masonry of the house did not play any protective role, and was pierced by sharp arrows like tissue paper.

In the world of Terra, the most powerful long-range weapon is the crossbow. Only a few people can play with guns. Moreover, etched ammunition is very expensive. It is like putting real money and silver into the gun and shooting it out. Same.

The crossbow is different. It is cheap and easy to use. With a little training for a period of time, most people can become qualified military crossbowmen. Coupled with Terra's exaggerated materials science level, in addition to the rate of fire, In addition to being slower, crossbows are much more powerful than firearms.

The arrow was less than an inch in front of Li Ang, as if it was blocked by an invisible wall, and fell to the ground with a clanking sound.

However, the arrow rain had no intention of stopping for a moment, and was even more violent than the storm outside. In just ten seconds, the barrier in front of Li Ang was already on the verge of crumbling.

But the first thing that couldn't stand it was the house here.

Those people outside did not consider leaving anyone alive at all, and they had an attitude of killing them all as soon as they took action.

The load-bearing columns of the house had been damaged by arrows, were overwhelmed by the heavy rain, and eventually collapsed.

Before the house collapsed completely, Li Ang tore off a piece of cloth from the curtains in the house and covered his face, and then was completely exposed to everyone.

Similarly, Li Ang also saw clearly who was surrounding the courtyard.

It was an army wearing silver fish scale armor. The armor and swords on their bodies were still shining even on this rainy day.

Although they don't seem to be Dayan's ace army, they are definitely the leading troops stationed in Gouwu City... If the group of enemies lurking inside Dayan can even control this kind of army, then the situation inside Dayan will also be It's a bit too subtle. Li Ang is more inclined to think that they were taken into a big pot without knowing it.

"stop!!"

Seeing Li Ang standing out from the ruins, the leader of the army also ordered to stop shooting.

The person who could survive the wave of arrows unscathed just now is certainly not an easy person. Taking advantage of the break from shooting, he had ordered the crossbowmen to replace the arrows with more powerful ones. Such dangerous weapons should not be used in the first place. It is used in urban areas, but right now we don’t care about this kind of scene so much.

While the crossbowmen were replacing arrows, a man walked out of the military formation and shouted loudly, "You traitor and traitor, just arrest them without mercy. You are already surrounded by us and you can't escape!!!"

This is not only to persuade them to surrender, but also to buy time for the crossbowmen. It would be best if they can succeed, even if they fail, it doesn't matter.

When he saw that person, Li Ang knew that his previous disguise was meaningless.

That person was Magistrate Gou Wu who had a relationship with Li Ang and the others. There were only a few people in the city who could command the army, and he was one of them.

Unfortunately, Magistrate Gou Wu knew very well who lived here, and also knew who visited the compound yesterday.

"...Rebellious ministers and traitors? Are you talking about me?" Li Ang suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

He is not even from the Yan Kingdom, so how can he be called a traitor?

However, Jingzhe seemed to have given him an identity of Dali Temple, which actually tricked Li Ang. Without this identity, he would not be so passive now.

So... where is the person who woke her up?

"You still want to quibble?"

Magistrate Gou Wu shouted righteously, "I shouldn't have told you where Lord Tingwei lives in the first place. You are an official of Dali Temple in vain, and you dared to assassinate the imperial official."

"Surrender! You and your accomplices will never escape the siege of Dayan's soldiers today!"

Ignoring Magistrate Gou Wu's persuasion to surrender, Li Ang couldn't help but frown. "Assassinating an imperial official? Did something happen to Jingzhe?"

Sure enough, he was blamed and he became the murderer of Jingzhe inexplicably.

How did this happen... Hasn't Jingzhe already lived here for quite some time?Why did something unexpected happen to Jingzhe just after they arrived yesterday?

Could it be because of them?

It doesn't seem right... Li Ang is nominally Jingzhe's subordinate, so there is no problem at all coming to Jingzhe, and he doesn't seem to have revealed anything special.

By the way, it’s Zhang Daoling!

Li Ang, who had not exposed anything, was just an insignificant little shrimp to the group, but that old guy was different. His sudden departure yesterday would definitely attract a lot of attention. Unexpectedly, it was Jingzhe who stopped him in the end. Knife.

And Jingzhe must have been seriously injured. Even if he didn't die, he still lost consciousness. Otherwise, she wouldn't let this blame fall on Li Ang.

Seeing that Li Ang remained silent, Magistrate Gou Wu stopped persuading him and turned around and retreated into the military formation.

"Captain Zhou, order the arrows to be fired. It looks like that guy is determined to resist."

"This thief is very powerful. Captain Zhou, please be careful. It's best if you can spare his life. If it doesn't work, forget it. In short, we must not let him escape from here alive today!"

"Don't worry, we are fully prepared and there is no way he can escape from here."

Colonel Zhou took a deep breath, "But... the damage to this area is probably unavoidable."

"Captain Zhou doesn't need to worry. As long as we can kill this beast, it's not a big price to pay."

The two of them didn't take Li Ang to heart at all.

Being able to survive the first wave of arrows unscathed is indeed somewhat capable, but in fact it is just like that. Because it is impossible to determine where exactly he is hiding, the distribution of the first wave of arrows is very scattered. A slightly more powerful martial artist It can be done.

But surrounded by military formations, he couldn't make any waves.

On the other side, Li Ang was also observing the two people in front of him.

So... who is the spy arranged by the mysterious organization, Magistrate Wu or Captain Zhou?

The suspicion of hooking up with Magistrate Wu is high, but Captain Zhou is not completely impossible.

To be able to seriously injure Jingzhe, even a sneak attack requires some strength. That Magistrate Gou Wu looked like an ordinary person, with weak limbs and no traces of magic on his body. If he had done it, he would probably have been hit by Jingzhe with his backhand. Shoot to death.

Judging from the muscles on his body, Colonel Zhou's suspicion is obviously not small. They can't both be the same, right?

Anyway, let's control both of them first.

With this thought in his mind, Li Ang moved like a ghost and disappeared in front of all of them in an instant.

Chapter 35 Breakout

Lieutenant Zhou, who was talking to Magistrate Gou Wu just now, caught this scene with his peripheral vision. He didn't care about having any more relations with the Magistrate, and hurriedly asked the crossbowman to shoot the crossbow arrow that was already ready to go. If he let This man escaped from the heavy siege. Let’s not talk about the embarrassing incident for now. He, the commander, is directly responsible.

"Don't let him escape!!"

In Captain Zhou's strenuous shouts, even though Li Ang's speed was somewhat beyond their expectations, they also showed the qualities that a professional soldier of the Yan Kingdom should have.

Two blindingly bright flares were launched high into the sky, replacing the sun obscured by dark clouds and becoming the only source of light here.

Even if Li Ang couldn't be captured for a while, the crossbowmen still had their own coping methods. They were divided into three groups and fired at the range directly ahead in order.

What they replaced this time were explosive arrows, the most powerful of all special arrows. Although the armaments of each country are different, ammunition like explosive arrows, which are cheap, easy to use, and very simple to make, can basically be used by all countries. The country is equipped.

The dense explosion instantly covered most of the area in front of the military formation, and some arrows flew further to prevent the enemy from escaping here.

If it is a source stone skill such as invisibility, then it will be blown out by these explosions in an instant. It is a pity that the deployment was a bit hasty this time, and the military heavenly masters could not get here immediately. Otherwise, with their help, a mere Even if the enemies had wings, they would not be able to escape from their encirclement, and they could even be captured alive with greater certainty.

But... what they didn't expect was that Li Ang was not an invisibility spell, it was just the purest speed, and Li Ang didn't want to escape from here.

A distance of hundreds of meters was covered in just an instant, and Li Ang could already clearly see the rain-stained faces of the soldiers holding long swords.

In the final analysis, these soldiers were just following orders. There was no enmity between Li Ang and them. He was not a murderous maniac. There was no need to kill all these people.

Otherwise, as long as he stood there and used the Wave Sword at random, he could cause heavy casualties to the soldiers in the formation in front of him.

When the soldier didn't react at all, Li Ang grabbed the armor on his body and directly lifted him up. Then, as if he was bowling, Li Ang pointed the man in his hand towards the crowd. The dense area was lost.

In the next moment, those people were knocked upside down by the friendly troops thrown by Li Ang. They were wearing armor. Although their lives were not worried, a few broken bones would definitely be inevitable.

The surrounding soldiers reacted and drew their long knives. At this distance, the crossbows had completely lost their effect. Once the explosive crossbow arrows hit, let alone whether they could hurt their enemies, the surrounding friendly forces would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

However, as soon as they raised their swords, before they even had time to take a step forward, a biting chill penetrated their souls. Even the rain falling from the sky seemed to turn into liquid nitrogen, freezing through the armor on their bodies. their bodies.

Most people lost control of their bodies in an instant. The remaining ones with a stronger will also became extremely slow in their movements, posing no threat at all.

Li Ang ignored the soldiers who had lost their combat effectiveness and rushed straight towards Magistrate Gou Wu and Captain Zhou who were hiding behind the military formation.
