"What happened? Why did it suddenly turn dark!"
"Is there a power outage?"
"Guards! Guards!"
It was exactly eight o'clock sharp. Not only the banquet hall, but the entire residence suddenly lost power. Although they could barely see the surrounding environment with the help of the weak moonlight, the current environment was too dark. It was already the limit for ordinary people to be able to see a meter around them. In this chaotic moment, there was a sound of air breaking, accompanied by the crisp sound of bones breaking. Immediately, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground attracted everyone's attention. Many people who had guessed what was going on couldn't help but feel terrified and scream.
Zhang Yi had already listened to Leona's words. He used the excuse that he had something to do and sent Elias to the balcony. With the help of the emergency lights and the good night sky, the father and son didn't panic like the people inside.
"Is it Nightraid? How audacious, to actually attack at this time.”Looking at the changes inside, Lyers said hatefully. He did not have a good impression of this group of assassins who specialized in assassinating noble officials or rich people in the Imperial Capital. In his opinion, these people were restless terrorists and the cancer of the Imperial Capital. Of course, Lyers was a noble of the Empire after all, so he naturally stood on the side of the Empire.
However, Zhang Yi didn't care about these things. Be it the Empire or the Revolutionary Army, it was nothing more than a conflict of their own standpoints. One side had to maintain the thousand-year rule, the stability of the Empire, as well as their own interests and status, while the other side had to change the decadent Empire and build a new country for the people so that everyone could be happy. However, in the end, only the winner would have the right to speak. In this era where there was usually a central power, it was not surprising to change dynasties. Even if the revolutionary army won in the future, it might be overthrown by another group of people a few hundred years later. China's history was already a good lesson. There was no eternal country. The only thing that could be passed down was the spirit and civilization.
"Stay here, Selius. Daddy will go help.”Lyers said as he pulled out the sword at his waist. He was from a military family, after all. As the current family head, Lyers naturally had good skills. Furthermore, he could provide Earl Robert with timely help at this critical moment. After all, they were both nobles who served the empire. The dignity and honor of nobles did not allow Lyers to cower in front of thieves.
"Father..." Zhang Yi did not expect Lyers to do this. Seeing Lyers running into the hall, Zhang Yi became anxious. Although Lyers could only be considered as his cheap father, he was still his father in this life. His feelings for him were sincere and unreserved. Now that Leona and the others were killing people, Lyers would undoubtedly hinder their mission. He would definitely be killed mercilessly. This was not what Zhang Yi wanted to see.
Without hesitation, Zhang Yi stepped forward and caught up with Lyers. He placed his hands on the two scimitars at his waist. Lyers 'safety could not be compromised, and Zhang Yi did not want to really go against NightRaid. After all, Leona had been friends for many years, and he still had a mission to take down Scarlet Eye. In a situation where the two sides were in conflict, he could only act according to the situation.
When they entered the hall, it was pitch black inside compared to the outside. It was hard to see clearly. Fortunately, Zhang Yi's basic abilities and attributes were still there, so it was not a problem for him to see things in the dark. In addition, he followed closely. At first glance, he saw his impetuous father rushing towards a girl standing by the window under the faint moonlight.
"Holy sh * t, this bastard father. Of all people, go find Chi Tong. If that saber is even slightly injured, it will be hopeless.”Zhang Yi patted his head helplessly. He exerted force under his feet and circulated his mental cultivation method, which was also commonly known as internal energy. In addition to his basic footwork that had already reached the maximum level, his entire person floated out like a ghost.
In the next instant, when Lyers was less than five meters away from Scarlet Eye, Zhang Yi arrived first. He blocked Lyers 'path and successfully intercepted him. Lyers was naturally shocked by Zhang Yi's sudden appearance. However, before he could figure out what was going on, he felt a pain in the back of his neck. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"Seriously, how can you eat the so-called noble glory and dignity?”Zhang Yi rolled his eyes and held onto Lyers as he sighed and muttered. Of course, Zhang Yi would never say this in front of Lyers. If he knew, the consequences would be very serious. Usually, Lyers would follow whatever Zhang Yi did or said, but this was a taboo for Lyers. After all, glory and dignity were like ancestral teachings to their family, and they were more like beliefs and foundations. This kind of concept could not be blasphemed.
"You... You're in the way."”Chi Tong stepped forward and said as he watched Zhang Yi's actions expressionlessly.
Hearing Chi Tong's words, Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment before he immediately reacted. He turned around and saw that the fat pig Earl Robert was indeed hiding under a table behind him. It seemed that the assassination attempt just now did not kill him in a short period of time. Instead, he was lucky enough to escape for so long. It had been about five to six minutes since the assassination attempt began. How could such a fat pig survive so long in the hands of these elite assassins? He really did not know if he was lucky or if Chi Tong and the others were suddenly in the mood to play.
"Shh!" Looking at the fat pig who was shivering under the table, Zhang Yi made a hand gesture and quietly moved away with Lyers. Zhang Yi didn't like this kind of person. Although Zhang Yi didn't think he was a good person, at least he wouldn't harm others. He would just get rid of this kind of cancer. Anyway, it was dark and the crowd was so noisy. Zhang Yi wasn't afraid that others would find out what he was doing.
Seeing that Zhang Yi had tactfully stepped aside, Chi Tong did not delay any further. He raised his sword and easily sliced open the table, cutting off the fat pig's head as well. He stopped in his tracks and jumped out of the window. The target had already been taken care of, so there was naturally no need to cause any more trouble. Moreover, the power outage would not last long, and it would be restored very quickly. It would be very troublesome if he kept the other targets. As for the other targets, his companions would naturally take care of them.
Supporting Lyers, Zhang Yi looked at everything before him without doing anything else. Outside the window, a transparent silk net appeared. Scarlet Eye and the others returned to their positions, including Leona. Compared to watching it on the screen, the scene in front of him in real life was more interesting. However, after Scarlet Eye and the others gathered, they left without stopping.
At this moment, the power supply was restored. However, the hall had become a mess. The wedding banquet had turned into a funeral. The nobles were still in shock and immediately left the place. As for Robert's family, they had all been wiped out.
Time flew by, and this matter was soon forgotten. Occasionally, it would become a topic of conversation. A year later, after Zhang Yi's fifteenth birthday, he officially proposed to his father, Lyers, the idea of traveling far away to gain experience. Lyers naturally did not agree to this, but under Zhang Yi's coaxing and coaxing, he had no choice but to agree.
The next day, Zhang Yi set off on his journey. His goal was to reach the border and the chaotic areas and primitive forests near the foreign races. The Imperial City was no longer enough for Zhang Yi to improve his saber techniques. Only by experiencing adventures, battles, and the baptism of blood could he quickly become stronger.
