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!

There were actually two doors in this back area. When they heard the chaos just now, they closed one, but not the other, because they felt it was unnecessary. A stone door was enough to block the intruder. However, at the moment, they suddenly had a sense of uncertainty, but it was too late to close the second door.

While Shao Xuan was rushing to the back door, at the same time, he also mobilized the totem power in his body. After reaching his limit, he still did not stop. The accumulated power was squeezed and squeezed, until the totem power surged inside his body. Not having the power find a place to vent, as if a volcano, it was about to erupt, but it was forcibly sealed, waiting for an outbreak. The momentum of Shao Xuan’s body was also soaring because of this constant accumulation of power and the surging of his blood.

As Shao Xuan got closer to the back door of the palace, wherever he passed, cracks appeared on the slabs of slate on the ground, until the damage became more and more obvious. The crisp sound of the breaking was like a gear moving forward too.

When they saw this, the guards who were still in front of the door could not help but move to the side, not daring to put up a hard resistance.

At the moment of his power’s outbreak, Shao Xuan suddenly issued a roar. He himself was like a cannonball, issuing a fierce punch straight to the closed door in front.

Boom!

The ground also seemed to be shaken by it.

With the shock from the punch, the stone gate could not bear the force brought about by the impact of the extremely fierce punch. It broke open a big hole, and the person who made this hole has already rushed out of it.

A few guards guarding the door twisted their necks mechanically, staring at the hole which had just been made. They felt that the hole was literally like the bleeding wound of a giant beast, stinging them with terror. As for the man who broke open the hole, he was more than a beast!

So scary! He’s horrifying!

A guard hurriedly wiped the sweat off his forehead, thinking about the power that had just hit the palace door. His ear could still hear the echo of the sound from the shock from just now that his heart was still shaken.

Outside the palace, the ones holding bows and arrows were staring at the wall. They were also stunned by this sudden scene. The moment it happened, they also stared fixedly at the wall. The next moment, they could hear their hearts almost jumping out of their throats. The sounds were even accompanied by cracked stones that were ejected outward. Afterwards, they only felt a wisp of air passing in front of them, followed by a figure that was hard to catch flashing through, and it was all over.

Not only the guards at these back doors, a few people lurking outside the palace, hidden near some of the houses closer to the palace, were observing the movement on that side. They were not from Snowfield City.

Before hearing the movements inside the palace, they were still wondering what was going on, wondering if the associates who had infiltrated the palace had been spotted in advance? Before they came, they were told by the young master of the method to avoid the Bi Luo. If they failed, they really dare not go back to see the young master. If they fail, the task would have to be abandoned.

However, they did not expect to see someone break through the back door of the palace! Staring at the person that passed by, they were all in shock.

He even punched his way out the back door of the Snowfield Palace!

Where did this idiot come from, a barbarian?!

At this time, the Snowfield king was in his bedroom.

Listening to the clutter of voices sifting to his ears, the Snowfield King, who had wanted to take a break, was not sleepy now.

As he endured his anger while listening to his subordinates’ report, the expression on his face has become more and more terrifying. The huge room had a solemn sense of repression, with all the people not daring to speak out.

The people of Snowfield City were relatively fairer compared to the people of other desert cities. However, at this time, because of their numerous defeats, the king was being provoked again and again. After just hearing the riot and an intruder successfully infiltrating the palace but managing to break out, he was even more red-faced with anger. The veins on his face looked like they were about to pop out.

When the slaves who had reported to him had finished, they shakily stood there, waiting for the king’s orders.

“So many people can’t catch a little intruder?” The Snowfield King clenched his teeth and growled low.

“He… He… He has… escaped too fast…” replied a slave. His words came out choked under the glare of the Snowfield king.

If the intruder was exposed during the night, they may have been able to catch him. However, at this time, the people for the night’s defense had not joined yet. Some areas were inevitably weak, not to mention, the intruder was said to be extraordinary. He even directly broke the palace back door!

After a kick towards the man in front of him, the Snowfield king roared out like an angry lion, “I want him dead!”

Moreover, the Snowfield king also thought of the loss of the seed again. He was so angry that his lungs were almost about to blow up.

Ignoring what happened to the person he kicked, the king turned to the people and commanded, “Jinjiawei! Call out two hundred Jinjiawei! If you haven’t killed the intruder, you don’t have to come back!”

What is known as the “Jinjiawei” [E/n: Not sure what to use, but it was golden armored guard or something on google. *shrugs*] were not because they were all golden. Instead, this team was the only team fully equipped with metal weapons.

The Jinjiawei was a group of people trained personally by the Snowfield king after he was crowned. There was a total of 1000 people, with 500 transferred to the front lines to fight against Fire Hill City. The remaining 500 people stayed in the city. Now, the Snowfield King unexpectedly pulled out 200 guards to hunt for an intruder! Why? It was fine if they still get to stay in other parts of the city. But to hunt down someone who has already ran away? Was it not a waste? What if this was actually a ploy from another city?

The people next to the king thought of persuading him to retract the order but they didn’t have the guts. They could only pretend to be dumb.

The effectiveness of these Jinjiawei on a one-on-one combat might not be able to rank among the Snowfield City guards, but they were absolutely loyal. They would resolutely carry out the king’s orders.

At the Snowfield King’s behest, after a time for them to wear their equipment, the Jinjiawei were soon riding their beasts and set off. In order to accurately find their target, they took more than twenty Bi Luos.

Gululu~

At the side of the palace, a normally closed thick stone door opened. Two hundred people in metal armor went out, riding their beasts in line.

“The Jinjiawei! Even the Jinjiawei was called out! Who the hell was the intruder just now? He could even have the Snowfield King order out the Jinjiawei!”

“I don’t know. Can you guess?”

“No matter who that person is or which city he came from, he has very well attracted the attention of Snowfield City and some of the Jinjiawei too. We can take this opportunity to complete the task that the young master has given us to attack the palace,” one said.

Some of them have been mixing inside the Snowfield City palace. When they see a chance, they would certainly act to weaken Snowfield City!

Not knowing that the Snowfield King has ordered a pursuit of him, Shao Xuan’s only goal now was to leave the city.

Many people in the city only heard the movements on the other side of the palace. However, since it was the beginning of a war, this kind of thing happens often, hence they were not too curious and chose to ignore it. The palace guards on the other side was also naturally busy, so they would not care about it.

Several people only saw a flash of a figure, but did not see who ran past. Even if they chose to block him, they could not as they couldn’t keep up with the figure’s speed. Besides, if he could not force his way out, he could just go up or on the side.

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.
