Dragon Pool Town, Hidden Dragon Lake, 30 kilometers away from Yangzhou City.
This was one of the necessary routes from the capital to Yangzhou.
There was a natural barrier here, the Dragon Pond Line of Sky.
An Abyssal Canyon was the most suitable place for an ambush.
At this moment, a group of people in yellow official robes were protecting a carriage that was slowly moving in the Line Canyon. A fat middle-aged man was sitting in the carriage.
It was Yangzhou Prefecture Magistrate Pan Juhua.
The carriage was being driven by the Cloud Eagles, while the two black and red eagles, who were as tall as horses, rode on both sides of the carriage to guard it.
The group of people slowly traveled in the canyon. At this moment, many black-clothed, masked burly men were hiding on the rocky cliffs of the canyon. They were holding crossbows and arrows, which were already hung on the string and aimed at everyone in the canyon.
One of the masked men had a fierce look in his eyes. He raised his right hand in the air and then lowered it. He shouted,"Release."
"Swish""Swish""Swish"
The arrows that filled the sky shot towards the yellow flags in the valley with a whoosh. It was a black mass, like dark clouds.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Miserable screams rang out one after another. In an instant, at least half of the two hundred soldiers with the yellow banners fell into a pool of blood, wailing in pain.
The Black and Red Eagles and the Cloud Eagle guarded the carriage tightly. They used their weapons to fend off the incoming arrows. However, there were too many arrows. In order to preserve their strength, the three of them had no choice but to give up the carriage. They brought the trembling Pan Juhua and retreated to the side of the rock. The three of them formed a triangle to protect Pan Juhua in the middle.
"Leave no one alive."
With a loud roar, the masked men in black on the rocky cliff all pulled out the weapons at their waists with a clang and jumped down the cliff, starting a hand-to-hand battle.
The Eight Banners Army was a ferocious army. Although they were caught off guard by the rain of arrows and lost half of their two hundred yellow banners, when they saw the man in black jump down and prepare to fight with their weapons, they charged at him angrily.
The scene was chaotic as the men in black and the men with yellow banners engaged in close combat.
"Ding, ding, dang, dang"
The crisp sounds of swords and sabers could be heard in the canyon. Occasionally, screams could be heard as they lingered in the canyon.
Three eagles surrounded Pan Juhua. Yun Ying frowned and said thoughtfully,""These people don't look like they're from the Heaven and Earth Society.”
"Yunying, look." The black eagle picked up the bow and arrow that had just been shot down and handed it to Yun Ying.
Yun Ying took the bow and saw the word " Wu " carved on it. He frowned deeply.
"No wonder. I was wondering why these people were so uniform and their movements were done in one go. They didn't look like the hoodlums of the Heaven and Earth Society at all.”
Yun Ying's face darkened as he instructed the black and red eagles,""Black Eagle, Red Eagle, leave this to me. The two of you go up and end the battle as soon as possible.”
The black and red eagles looked at each other, and without saying anything else, they charged toward the battlefield.
With the addition of the two men and the fact that all the men from the Bordered Yellow Banner were brave and invincible, they outnumbered the men in black.
Very soon, the men in black were forced to retreat. Many of them were knocked to the ground and then hacked to death by four or five men with yellow flags. Blood flowed and dyed the rocky ground of the canyon red.
The leader of the men in black saw that things were not looking good and immediately gave the order to retreat.
"Retreat."
The group of black-clothed men moved like the wind and didn't panic at all. They retreated from the canyon and scattered.
"Don't pursue a desperate enemy."
Yun Ying roared loudly and stopped the black and red eagles that were still chasing. He squatted down and picked up a large saber belonging to the man in black. Holding it in his hand, he narrowed his eyes when he saw the word " Wu " carved on the saber not far from the hilt.
"Pack up and leave immediately."
The dark clouds in the sky hissed and cut through the lightning. The blood-red smell spread in the quiet and noisy canyon.
The wails and sword shadows that had just dissipated bloomed in the wind again. The accumulated remains were ferocious and terrifying, and the dense aura was almost suffocating.
"It's going to rain."
The Cloud Eagle looked at the dark clouds in the sky and said to the black and red eagles who were walking over. The black and red eagles looked at each other in confusion.
"It seems that this time, Master's trip to Yangzhou is a little troublesome.”
Yun Ying said without any rhyme or reason. His face was solemn, his ears twitched, and his eyes flashed.
"Someone is coming."
The black and red eagles turned their heads and saw a group of masked men holding weapons running towards them from the other end of the canyon.
The Yellow Bordered Banner was ready for battle.
It was the members of the Heaven and Earth Society who had arrived late. Li Shikai took the lead and walked in front. Looking at the corpses and broken limbs everywhere in the Line Canyon, he frowned.
Li Yuehong took a step forward and came to Li Shikai's side. She whispered into his ear,""Hall Master, it seems like someone beat us to it.”
"Oboi that dog has made too many enemies. We're not the only ones who want him dead.”Du Peng interrupted.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I really want to meet these righteous men.”
