Chapter 347
C347 – Breaking Through the Back Doors
Posted on April 2, 2019 by AzureOrchid92
The guards, who were watching the back door, hurried to close it. But instead of slowing down, Shao Xuan’s legs picked up speed again.
Shao Xuan actually wanted to go over the wall, but it was not possible. The walls were not only high, it surpasses Shao Xuan’s jump range. It was also polished and smooth, which was likely deliberate. He could only jump over using other tools, but with that, he had to reduce his speed. Once his speed was reduced, Shao Xuan would be in danger of being shot by his chasers.
Since he can’t go over the wall, he could only fight hard as there was only one door on this floor.
Seeing the figure rushing over this side of the door, the guard at the back door had his heart drumming. They could not see what the person looked like because the person’s speed was too fast, their eyes could not keep up. They only felt that that figure was clearly only a person, not a monster. However, it gave them a kind of feeling that they were facing a beast, giving them an oppressive feeling.
This was not the Colosseum and the other side was only one person. They shouldn’t worry, shouldn’t fear. It would be alright, as long as the boy came over and everyone cooperated to cut him off. Even if that guy chose to flip past the wall, the other side of the door was ready with bows and arrows, all pointing to the top of the wall.
He was getting close and closer.
The guards were twitching with excessive tension, their eyes staring at the figure rushing over, their hearts roaring: Impossible!
The other side really chose to attack forward!
Shao Xuan ran past the block obstructing him in front.
At this time, the gate was yet not closed. It was now dusk, and there would be other people outside, patrolling and about to return. No one ordered them to close the gate.
Several guards were still talking about whether there had been another assassination on the other side of the palace, when they heard a sound as a gust of wind swept through.
The speed at which the figure who ran past raged like the wind, rolling up waves and layers of snow covering the sand. Then, it dispersed behind the runner like flowers.
“What’s going on?!”
“Just now, it was like… a man ran past us.” They wanted to chase the figure, but looking at the other’s momentum, they knew they certainly could not catch up, hence they simply did not chase him.
“Was that the assassin from the other side of the palace?”
“So, shall we close the gate?”
“Now, it’s useless. He’s gone!”
“But if there were any other assassins, wouldn’t they all run away here?”
The people at the city gate deliberated. Finally, their decision was to take the lead and close it down first. If there were patrols outside returning, they would open it again.
However, when they had only closed the gate half way, they heard roaring sounds. As soon as they saw the source, they almost peed due to fear.
“Its the Jinjiawei, the Jinjiawei! Come on, open the gate!!!” The leader then rushed to open the half-closed door again.
The 200 Jinjiawei passed, their pairs of indifferent eyes had no other feelings as they kept looking straight ahead. They would act the same, mercilessly kill those who prevent them from moving forward, even if these people were people of the Snowfield City.
The sounds of colliding metals and ripping of flesh showed how cruel they can be, like how a meat grinder was also straight forward. It made the slaves inside the city terrified, shivering and timidly hiding in the corner of their houses to jot out that memory of their fears. They covered their ears, wanting to resist those clamoring outside. Listening to the sound of blood spraying and knives and spears chopping, they could guess how many people outside have not had time to avoid them and were directly killed.
