Chapter 992: 456: Yuwen Gai Captured! Fang Qingyi Arrested!_2

"Imperial Guards are making arrests, all unrelated individuals must leave immediately!"

"Ready!"

"Fire!"

"Whizz, whizz, whizz..."

A dense rain of arrows fell once again.

And they were rockets.

"Fire, fire, fire..."

A salvo after salvo of arrows rained down.

Six thousand Imperial Guards had surrounded this estate of just a few acres, layer upon layer, making it completely impenetrable.

After briefly clearing the area and driving away the nearby civilians, they didn’t rush in. Instead, they began furiously firing rockets.

At the same time, a loud screech came from above.

A dozen griffins flew over the estate, dropping Primitive Cluster Bombs from above.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A series of earth-shattering explosions!

Inside this secret stronghold, there were only a hundred or so attendees, among them merely a dozen or so Dragon Warrior Layer experts, and four super warriors were Fang Qingyi’s bodyguards.

Under such insane and intense bombardment, even high-level Samurai found it difficult to withstand.

The dense rain of arrows was bearable, but the lethal Primitive Cluster Bombs were just too terrifying. The hundred-pound bags of gunpowder smashed through the roofs before exploding inside, sending thousands of pellets hurtling wildly.

In an instant, there were continuous screams. Mid-level officers with lesser martial skills fell dead one after another.

Fortunately, Viscount Ye Jin had chosen a sparsely populated area for the cover-up, mostly consisting of warehouses and stables.

Even so, many civilians were still frantically fleeing, causing not insignificant casualties.

The nobility in the royal city, hearing the commotion, were initially terrified, thinking Suo Lun was starting a massive crackdown. But then they realized, all nobles were in the inner city, and the fight with the Imperial Guards was happening in a remote corner of the southern city—it couldn’t possibly be a move against them.

As long as the fire didn’t spread to them, they were more than happy to watch the excitement from the sidelines.

...

This barrage of arrows, this indiscriminate bombardment, went on for more than half an hour.

After half an hour, not to mention the estate itself, all buildings within the surrounding ten or so acres were completely leveled into ruins.

And among the ruins, Yuwen Gai, Fang Qingyi, and the others, the number of survivors was a mere dozen or so.

Most of the City Defense Army’s top officers had been killed by the arrow rain, blown to death on the spot.

Those few survivors were all warriors above the Dragon Samurai level!

The reason Viscount Ye Jin had not died was because Yuwen Gai and his son had protected him.

And at this moment, from outside, the Commander of the Imperial Guards Hei Ningqi roared loudly: "Those inside, listen up! The ringleaders of the City Defense Army’s rebellion are none other than Yuwen Gai and his son. Anyone who captures the father and son can be spared!"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Gai and his son were horrified.

Then, Yuwen Gai, with a desolate expression, said: "Given our current plight, my son and I are willing to sacrifice ourselves for you, brothers. Capture us and present us to Suo Lun, in exchange for your own lives!"

Yuwen Fa, shocked, said: "Father!"

Immediately, the general of the City Defense Army’s infantry knelt down and screamed: "Commander, what are you saying? We’ve lived and fought side by side for many years, your kindness to us is heavier than a mountain. How could we possibly be so cruel and heartless as to betray you?"

Following this, more than ten high-ranking officers of the City Defense Army also kneeled down, expressing their willingness to live and die with Yuwen Gai.

Yuwen Gai was so moved that he wept, helping the infantry general up and tremblingly said: "Good brothers, good brothers, then let’s live and die together!"

But then...

The infantry general’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and as Yuwen Gai stepped forward to help him up, he quickly slid a dagger from his sleeve, stabbing towards Yuwen Gai’s heart.

Seeing this scene...

The other ten or so officers were startled, then their faces turned cold, and they all drew their weapons, slashing at Yuwen Gai and his son.

"Commander, we’ll have to borrow your and your son’s heads for a moment."

At that moment, Yuwen Gai laughed heartily, suddenly grabbing the arms of the infantry general.

The dagger in the hands of the infantry general was only a half-inch from Yuwen Gai’s heart, but it couldn’t pierce any further, as Yuwen Gai’s arms were like two iron clamps.

"Brother, why must you do this?" Yuwen Gai said with a cold smile, then violently tore with both hands.

"Ahhh..." A shrill scream.

The infantry general from the City Defense Army was ripped in half alive.

At the same time, Yuwen Gai and his son engaged in battle with the more than ten high-ranking officers.

These officers were uniformly commanders above ten-thousand men, with abilities above the Dragon Samurai level.

Yuwen Fa, who had only recently broken through to the Dragon Samurai level, could barely fight one man.

Therefore, Yuwen Gai almost took on ten by himself!

Even so, he didn’t fall behind at all!

He fought like a ferocious tiger, brutally powerful, his battle knife leaving no adversary in one piece.

Not only did he take on ten, he also had to protect his own son.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Every strike from Yuwen Gai cleaved a City Defense Army officer in two, whether vertically or horizontally split, the scene overwhelmingly bloody and terrifying.

Meanwhile, Viscount Ye Jin stood beside them with a splendid longsword, shivering with fear, completely unsure of what to do.

The four super experts from Yin Zhou merely protected Fang Qingyi and coldly watched from the sidelines, with no intention of helping.

The overwhelmingly strong Yuwen Gai still took down one man with each strike.

In just three short minutes, he had killed more than ten City Defense Army officers.

Keep in mind, all these men had abilities above the Dragon Samurai level.

Seeing this scene, Viscount Ye Jin was completely astounded.
