Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

Under the high speed of the horse and the cover of the low position, no one would notice the abnormality here, not to mention that Lingyan had been using her spiritual energy to detect the surroundings on the horse just now in order to prevent an ambush. Diverting her attention would instead make her ignore the "tripping ropes" that were not living creatures.

The question is, who made this thing?

Seeing her own horse lying on the ground neighing in pain, Lingyan understood that these transparent silk threads might also hurt the horse's legs.

No one is around.

She couldn't even detect the presence of anyone's physical signs, but she could smell danger.

Pulling out the knife in her hand, Lingyan circulated her body with aura, and the wind around her was also lingering around, ready to help herself out of danger at any time.

The slight sound of the wind was continuously amplified by her keen perception, and it was getting closer and closer.

Ling Yan burst into flames, swinging the long knife with almost all the strength in his body, and with the sound of the wind, he went straight to his right side!

An arrow came through the wind, and the hurricane she summoned to protect herself couldn't change its course. The arrow came straight to her and hit the long knife!

Sparks splashed, the sound of metal colliding, accompanied by Lingyan's unbelievable expression——

Long knife, broken.

She successfully blocked the arrow, but the long knife was cut off by the huge force carried by the arrow and fell to the ground.

Someone is shooting arrows in the distance, and the distance is not ordinary, at least, it is definitely beyond the range of his perception!And judging from the strength of this arrow, the opponent is probably a professional archer.

The excellent archers who have been trained in Daxia can make good use of the influence of spiritual energy on arrows. Through the application of spiritual energy, the arrows can obtain a short-term connection with the caster. After the arrows are shot, the archers can continuously calibrate them. Reaching the kilometer level also has a range of lethality and accuracy.It is also possible to make the latter far more powerful than ordinary arrows through the aura spell attached to it in advance.

Although crossbow arrows are the classic equipment of Daxia, those who can really be compared with those profound practitioners are still the trained archers of Daxia.

And the opponent's blow was obviously the ultimate that those excellent archers could do.

For Lingyan, this crisis is far from over.

Enduring the numbness in her arms, she quickly hid under a tree, and pulled out the bronze sword at her waist.

This sword is actually hung on her body as a symbol, but now, she can't hesitate anymore, the opponent's arrow attack is too fierce, if she doesn't have a weapon, she can take down one arrow and two arrows with her body and her own spells, but she can't If you can't find the other party against the other party's attack, or return to Fushan County, that's not necessarily the case.

Just as she was holding the bronze sword and was about to confirm the opponent's position, she heard the sound of violent wind behind her!

Even though she had already hid behind the tree, the reaction of the crisis still made her bow her head. The big tree, which was as thick as a person, was torn apart by the power of this arrow!

Lingyan immediately changed her position, and while she kept moving, she chanted a spell in the direction of the arrow, and several rays of light flashed.

After a brief silence, several explosions soared into the sky at that position.

Lingyan didn't know if she had hit the opponent, it was just an approximate position.

This attack obviously had an effect, because after Lingyan changed positions, the opponent did not attack for a long time.

She was not in the slightest happy mood.

Because, at this moment, hundreds of auras appeared around her.

At this time, she knew exactly what it meant to have hundreds of people with obvious aura fluctuations.

This is not an assassination at all, but an undisguised hunt.First the archers weakened and tested it, and then other hunters surrounded it... The other party looked like they didn't intend to leave any room.

The spells in her hands began to condense, and at this moment, she was ready to give them a little surprise with her spells.

Suddenly, from both sides of her, two arrows struck almost simultaneously.

Realizing this, she almost immediately chose to jump behind a rock to ensure that she only had to face at least one arrow at the same time, and then, at the moment when the arrow was about to strike, she used ghostly speed to Dodge aside.

The arrow hit the boulder, the gravel splashed, and the smoke and dust filled the air. However, to Lingyan's surprise, an arrow flew over from the corner of his eye.

"!?"

The fact that an arrow bends is quite unbelievable.

Under the interference of spiritual energy, such an operation is not impossible, but in the distance, a huge spiritual energy is needed to maintain the consumption of the spell, which is a kind of spell that is not worth the candle.

But the other party did just that.

It was too late for Lingyan to dodge, she was indeed agile, but she was still human after all.

The bronze sword tried to block it, but her speed was still a bit slow. The arrow pierced through the defense of her whole body, then penetrated the soft armor commonly used in the battlefield, and finally pierced her abdomen.

excruciating pain.

However, Lingyan knew very well that she couldn't and shouldn't fall down here.

Her eyes were indifferent, and she looked down at the arrow that pierced through her abdomen, the black shaft and arrowhead, if it was in the dark night, it would be an invisible king of death.

Blood was flowing out, and the rustling sounds all around were getting closer and closer. Obviously, the hunters couldn't bear their temper anymore.

Chapter 36 Gap

When did Lingyan enter the Devil's Cult, she herself didn't know.

All she knew was that she had been a member of the Devil's Cult since she could remember, and had been exposed to the baptism of the Devil's Cult's thoughts since she was a child. What is it against morality to practice insanely?

Since then, she has not been a good person.

Until the arrival of Daxia's black armored cavalry.

Among the people accompanying the black armored cavalry was a middle-aged man.Just like the experience taught by the leader, Lingyan made a move without hesitation.

But the man just flipped her weapon away casually, and picked her up like a flopping goose.

The huge gap in force made her lose the ability to attack again.

"What's your name?"

"...Yan."

"Last name?"

"No."

"...The cultural level of this group of people is not high, and they can't even think of their surnames," the middle-aged man's smile looks very generous, but his skills honed on the battlefield can prove that he It is definitely not a simple and honest person, "I said, Your Majesty, what do you think of sending these children to the palace for training?"

The man called His Majesty seemed to be indifferent to this question: "Okay, let's throw it over to the Tianshi Mansion. Those Tianshi like to teach students the most."

Therefore, the girl was sent to the most mysterious place in Daxia, which is the Tianshi Mansion. In the Tianshi Mansion, she was given the surname "Ling" by her master who was not a master. Then, not long after, Then she was taken home by the middle-aged man who had defeated her on the battlefield.

She had heard stories instilled in her by the elders in the sect. After being captured by the court of Great Xia, most of the people in the sect would be squeezed out of all use value and finally killed to avoid future troubles. In their description Everyone in the court is so cruel and ruthless.

It's just that nothing happened as she imagined. She became the guard of the Duke's mansion, and her duty was to protect Duke An's only son and daughter.

Then, it is day after day of protection, and communication that sounds hierarchical, but the topic is not taboo at all.Regarding this matter, the old Duke didn't take much care of it. He thought he was just a warrior, and everything he did was to pave the way for his son.He cared about his son, and it didn't matter what kind of interaction his son had with his guards in private.

Only once, at a family banquet, the old prince beat his own son.

There is no other reason, because his son actually blatantly asked the guards to sit down with him for the family banquet.Maybe these are not big things in private, but at family dinners, especially those with relatives from all walks of life, such behavior is extremely detrimental to his son.

After all, the old prince didn't regard her as his own child, he just loved his son deeply.She can enjoy the warmth of home not because the duke treats her so well, but because the duke's son treats her as his family.

She is well aware of this fact.

In Qin Ji's eyes, no matter how important he is, in the eyes of outsiders, he is still his pawn, a pawn that can be thrown away.From arranging her to go to Tianshi's Mansion to picking her up to the Duke's Mansion, everyone knew that this was just to cultivate an obedient pawn for Qin Ji.

That's why many people have bewitched her before. They thought that this so-called loyal guard just didn't wake up, and when she understood this, she would see through everything and accept her bewitching.

But for Lingyan, she never cared who she was from Qin Ji in the eyes of others.

Sometimes, outsiders are not qualified to judge a certain special emotion. If they could, this emotion would not be praised by others.

The hunters around were still approaching, and they approached very carefully. These people were well aware of the ferocity of this "prey", so they were on guard every step they approached.

Eventually, they came within a few meters of her.

"You, want to capture alive?"

Lingyan asked in a low voice.

The pain was gradually blurring, and her consciousness was passing rapidly.

"Sorry, Lord Ling, to be precise, the order we received was to intercept and kill."

A person beside her said.

"why?"

"We don't know...on orders."

The man held a delicate knife in his hand, and pointed it at her.

"By whom?"

"You don't need to know."

Knife light flashed.

However, to everyone's surprise, the imaginary picture of Lingyan's head being cut off did not appear, but instead left a clearly visible bloodstain on the neck of his boss.

The man was horrified, and stretched out his hand to stroke his neck, which was in hot pain, while the woman in front of him was playing with the bronze sword in her hand.

"It's not good for anyone, Lord Ling."

The man was helpless and said in a low voice.

He knew very well that Lingyan was a talent that Daxia lacked, and those who could work under that King An would not be mediocre and incompetent.But with official duties in hand, Lingyan's resistance will not change her fate, but will harm both parties.

"I don't intend to care about my own interests. In the final analysis, I am just a pawn. In the eyes of your Majesty, even if you kill me, the first target will not be me." She looked normal and held the arrow in her body. , pull out.

The arrow had a barb, and when she forcibly pulled it out, she could clearly see the minced meat brought out, blood spattered, and the pain made her muscles instinctively spasm.

"Have your people rushed over?"

silent

It seems he guessed right.

"Master Ling."

The man blocked her way, then stared at her.

"how?"

"The next duty is, I want your head today, you should think about yourself first."

In an instant, the man had rushed in front of her, swung the long knife in his hand, and went straight to Lingyan's throat.And those people around also rushed up following the boss's movements.

All this seems very tight.

Until a flurry of sword energy exploded from the encircling circle in the center.
