Chapter 325 A mysterious person appears
Although this group of palace guards has always held an advantageous position in the battle, they would naturally welcome it if the enemy chose to confront them head-on.
However, if the enemy chose to flee, it would be impossible for them to stop all of them with only a hundred men. After all, the enemy's number was almost ten times theirs!
Just as many bandits were running for their lives desperately and the palace guards were doing their best to stop them, an unexpected change suddenly occurred.
Suddenly, from the depths of that distant darkness, two streaks of cold light came barreling towards them like lightning, aiming directly at the backs of Wu Ming and Nangong Wending! Their speed was so fast, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, catching them off guard.
"Archie, be careful!"
Accompanied by an anxious shout, Li Yue's voice broke through the tense atmosphere.
At the same time, a cry came from the rear: "Commander, be careful!" This was a warning issued by other guards.
It turned out that these two deadly weapons took advantage of the fact that Wu Ming and Nangong Wending were concentrating on intercepting a group of bandits in front of them and launched a sinister sneak attack from behind them.
Because the incident happened suddenly and the attacker chose the perfect timing, it happened to be the critical moment when everyone put all their energy into the battle, so Wu Ming and Nangong Wending were completely unaware of the danger coming from behind.
Fortunately, the other palace guards remained highly alert. With their sharp eyes and careful minds, they instantly spotted the sudden attack and raised the alarm without hesitation.
Thanks to the timely warnings from the palace guards, Wu Ming and Nangong Wending finally realized the situation at the critical moment. With the two blades only three inches away from their bodies, they reacted with astonishing speed.
Just as the shouting reached Wu Ming's ears, a strange feeling as if a thorn in his back suddenly surged into his heart.
This sudden alert left him no time to think about who had issued the warning, and no extra time to think about how to respond.
Almost subconsciously, the longsword in his hand twisted rapidly like lightning, stabbing straight behind him with a sharp sword energy. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind - to resist the deadly attack from an unknown direction!
However, even in such a critical moment, Wu Ming did not forget Gao Mingyuan who was trying to take the opportunity to escape in front of him.
He clenched his left fist tightly, his entire body's internal energy instantly converging into his palm. With a roar, he unleashed a powerful thunder fist. The wind from the fist whistled past like a thunderbolt, blocking Gao Mingyuan's retreat.
In a split second, there was a loud clang as a fist-sized meteor hammer, gleaming with a cold light, struck Wu Ming's sword squarely. The immense force of the impact numbed Wu Ming's palm and left his arm numb.
And this was just the beginning. Before he could even catch his breath, another crisp snapping sound echoed around him. Looking closely, Wu Ming saw that the long sword he held so dearly in his hand had actually broken in two. The half of the sword fell helplessly to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust.
Although the sword in Wu Ming's hand was broken, it still delayed the fatal blow for a breath. This breath was enough for Wu Ming to use his body skills to break the fatal blow.
The situation was similar on Nangong Wending's side. With the reminder of the palace guards, Nangong Wending dodged the fatal blow.
What Wu Ming didn't know was that at the moment he threw a punch with his left hand, Gao Mingyuan keenly realized that the person in front of him was the hateful black-clad murderer who had been so cruel and ruthless as to cut his tendons.
In an instant, Gao Mingyuan felt furious, and the raging anger surged into his heart like a volcanic eruption. His eyes were red, and he roared with a ferocious face:
"Great! So it's you, you evil villain! There's a road to heaven but you refuse to take it, there's no door to hell but you insist on breaking in. Today I'm going to tear you into pieces and make you wish you were dead!"
However, facing Gao Mingyuan's overwhelming hatred that surged like a raging storm and his hoarse, deafening roar of anger, Wu Ming instantly understood in his heart - it turned out that his rash action just now had completely exposed his identity.
However, unexpectedly, Wu Ming didn't care about it at all. The corners of his mouth even rose slightly, revealing a contemptuous and wanton smile.
Wu Ming snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Hmph! Stop spouting nonsense here! As for whether you can survive this night safely, I'm afraid it's still unknown!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw his wrist shaking slightly, and the half-broken sword in his hand danced flexibly like a spirit snake, and in an instant it swung out several sword flowers that emitted cold light and were extremely sharp.
These sword flowers flashed with breathtaking light, as if containing endless murderous intent and power, and stabbed straight towards the vital parts of Gao Mingyuan's body.
At this moment, Wu Ming actually dared to use a broken sword as a weapon to meet the enemy. This action undoubtedly deeply hurt Gao Mingyuan's proud heart.
In his opinion, this move was a blatant disdain and insult to him, a complete disregard for him. Thus, Gao Mingyuan's anger erupted like a volcano, instantly igniting and blazing.
At this moment, he had already forgotten the idea of escaping. His eyes were wide open, his face was flushed, and he let out a roar. Then he turned around, waving the weapon in his hand without hesitation, and rushed straight towards Wu Ming.
In reality, all of this was under Wu Ming's control. He deliberately provoked Gao Mingyuan in this way in order to make him lose his mind, so that he would give up the idea of escaping and attack him recklessly.
In this way, Wu Ming will be able to better use his means to defeat Gao Mingyuan in one fell swoop. After all, it is very easy for a master in the realm of driving objects to escape.
However, Shen Hao stopped running and turned to attack Nangong Wending. The two attacks just now made Shen Hao realize that his cry for help was not in vain, but that those people were looking for the right time to attack.
Shen Hao shouted without hesitation, "Brothers, stop running! Our reinforcements are here!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and started fighting with Nangong Wending.
It turned out that just when the two attacks on Nangong Wending and Wu Ming failed, two figures suddenly rushed into the fierce battlefield like ghosts in the inky black night.
