Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 247 The Sun-Covering Attack
As the sun set, darkness fell completely.

Just like the previous few days, Mo Yu took Feng Shayan to have dinner with her grandparents.

For the next few days, it seemed as if what had happened had no effect on the two of them. That is, until Mo Yu received a message from Qu Tong, deciding to travel alone to Nathan Island.

While Mo Yu was enjoying a happy dinner with her family...

The world of Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shi Moyu, who had barely been active in the chat group these past two days, was also having a meal, and it was a rather high-class banquet.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, the melodious sounds of string and wind instruments, and the twirling of dancers, the atmosphere was lively and enthusiastic.

"Commander! Come on! Drink it. *burp*"

A tall figure staggered over, holding a bronze wine vessel high in his hand. His face was flushed, his steps were unsteady, and his voice reeked of alcohol. He even let out a loud burp.

Qin Shi Moyu, dressed in a simple black cloth robe, sat quietly at the desk. He glanced up at Jing Ke, whose tongue was already slurring, and shook his head inwardly.

These days, Jing Ke has been ordered by Lian Po to protect him. Because of his forthright personality, he has gotten along quite well with the other generals.

But... after living such a comfortable life for too long, coupled with the daily indulgence in music, wine, and beautiful women, the string of vigilance in my heart was no longer as taut as it once was.

This lapse could very well come at the cost of one's life!
However, Qin Shi Moyu did not point it out. He simply raised the remaining half-bowl of wine on his table and took a symbolic sip.

His gaze, however, bypassed the noisy crowd and landed on the old general in the main seat, a man of imposing stature and white hair and beard, who was still eating meat and drinking wine with gusto.

The flickering firelight behind him illuminated his face, which was partially obscured by a bronze mask, and he suddenly froze—

puff!puff!puff!
At the same time, without warning, all the dozens of lamps and braziers burning brightly in the banquet hall went out!
Absolute darkness, like thick ink, instantly swallowed all light and sound!

The music stopped abruptly, the dancer's exclamation was swallowed back down her throat, and the crowd, who had been drinking and making a ruckus, were all suddenly stunned!
"Beware of assassins!"

Almost the instant darkness descended, a loud shout rang out!
Jing Ke was startled by this sudden turn of events and broke out in a cold sweat. His drunken state instantly sobered him up, and he finally remembered why he was there. He immediately issued a desperate warning!

Of the dozen or so people invited by Lian Po to the banquet, apart from two or three people from the Hundred Schools who were on good terms with him, the rest were either seasoned generals or chivalrous heroes who roamed the martial arts world!

Their reaction speed and combat experience are far beyond what ordinary people can achieve!

Almost at the same time as Jing Ke issued the warning, the sound of weapons being drawn rang out in the hall!
Although surrounded by darkness, there was no panic or commotion. Instead, they focused on maximizing their senses, remaining vigilant for any enemies that might appear in the darkness!

Darkness, for these peak-level martial artists who at least possess internal strength and have rich combat experience, cannot completely obstruct their vision and perception.

However, they were soon horrified to discover that the darkness that now enveloped the hall was completely different from the normal darkness caused by the loss of light!
It's not just a lack of light, it's more like a... realm?!

*Pfft! Clang!*
Just as a sense of foreboding was rising in everyone's hearts, a crisp, deadly thud as a blade pierced bone and flesh, followed almost simultaneously by a short but extremely intense clash of swords!

The source of that sound... was clearly in the direction of the main seat!

laugh!laugh!laugh!
Before anyone could take any action, dozens of fire arrows pierced the darkness like meteors, reigniting the extinguished flames!

At the same time, the sound of armor clashing and footsteps, filled with a sense of solemnity and killing intent, rang out outside the hall!

More than a hundred elite guards, clad in heavy armor and standing in strict formation, surged in like a tide and instantly surrounded the banquet hall! Clearly, they were well-prepared!

"?!"

The room was bright again. Everyone stared intently, their pupils contracting sharply!
On the main seat, the old general who had just been laughing and drinking was now slumped in a pool of blood!
A gruesome sword wound pierced his back, running straight through his chest! Blood gushed out, staining the brocade cushion beneath him! He was dead!
The sound of swords clashing just now came from Jing Ke, who rushed towards the main seat at the first moment!
The longsword in his hand was currently locked in a fierce confrontation with a strange greatsword that emitted a dark red aura!
But anyone could see that Jing Ke's hand gripping the sword was trembling violently, his face was pale, and blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth. Clearly, he had suffered a great loss in that hasty exchange of blows! In fact, if not for…

Everyone's gazes shifted instinctively, only to be shocked to discover that Qin Shi Moyu had somehow appeared between Jing Ke and the assassin!

Its claws, like iron clamps, gripped the spine of the sword tightly! At the critical moment, it blocked the fatal blow for Jing Ke!
A look of surprise and uncertainty flashed in the eyes hidden behind the Asura mask! It collided with the black eyes beneath the half-bronze mask in mid-air!
Not a single word was spoken!
In an instant, the two clashed again!

The sword light flashed, so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye!
Ding! Clang! Bang!
Three clear, metallic clangs rang out!

Dark red killing energy and pure black energy collided and annihilated each other like two dragons in the confined space!
The scattered aftershocks of the sword energy alone were like the sharpest blades, cutting the surrounding tables, screens, beams, and pillars to pieces! The shock caused the maids and singers, who were already paralyzed with fear and had no cultivation to protect them, to cough up blood and collapse to the ground!

And this was the result of the owner of that dark aura deliberately expending more power to forcibly suppress the aftershocks of the battle!
Otherwise, the entire banquet hall would probably be razed to the ground!
"Lord Commander!"

Having narrowly escaped death, Jing Ke glanced gratefully at Mo Yu, struggling to get up and rush forward to help, but was kicked away. "The top-tier assassins of the Luo Net are not someone you can handle in your current state. Everyone, retreat!" Qin Shi Mo Yu's low roar, imbued with true energy, clearly reached everyone's ears.

No one would dare to act heroically or act tough in front of top-level experts of this caliber; they would really lose their lives!

Soon, all the doors and windows were removed, and everyone left. Before leaving, Jing Ke even took the opportunity to rescue several injured and fallen singers and maids.

In the blink of an eye, the once bustling banquet hall was left with only Qin Shi Moyu and Yan Ri facing off.

The moonlight, mixed with the torchlight, shone in from outside, casting long, slanted shadows of the two people.

Lian Po's guards were all his old subordinates whom he had personally trained. They were the core force of the Zhao army's border cavalry, and their combat strength was comparable to that of the Qin Iron Eagle Warriors!

At this moment, more than a hundred elite veterans, their breaths connected and their inner strength intertwined, condensed into a deep cloud of energy that seemed to have a tangible presence, a mixture of seven parts crimson and three parts emerald green, all under the unified will of the same people!

The clouds churned and rolled, making the air seem thick and heavy! Even the two top-tier experts inside couldn't help but feel a sense of heaviness and oppression!

"Thank you for your help, Commander. I, Lian Po, will remember this kindness from the Mohists!"

An old yet powerful voice came from the courtyard.

In the midst of the battle, an old general with white hair and beard, yet vigorous and robust, stood leaning on his sword!

His appearance was seven or eight parts similar to the "Lian Po" who had just fallen in a pool of blood, but his powerful aura was something that no stand-in could imitate!
"Lian Po?!"

Yan Ri's astonished voice seemed to carry a hint of trembling.

Qin Shi Mo Yu and Yan Ri exchanged several moves with lightning speed once again!

Without any restraint this time, the clash was even more brutal! Sword energy surged and roared!
The two destructive storms collided, instantly smashing all the remaining tables, chairs, furnishings, and even walls in the room to smithereens!

Immediately afterwards, Qin Shimoyu seized an opportunity, his figure flashed, and he used the momentum to break free, leaving the already dilapidated banquet hall and landing within the protective circle of the outer military formation.

Yan Ri knew things were going badly!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh——!!!
The rapid, sharp sounds of the bowstring vibrating, stretching, and snapping taut blended together instantly, creating a deafening roar!
Zhao's cavalry was unparalleled among the seven kingdoms, and their archery skills were unparalleled!

Dozens, even hundreds, of armor-piercing arrows flashed with a cold light, blocking all his escape routes from all directions!
Yan Ri's pupils contracted sharply, unleashing a dense, impenetrable black curtain of swords! The swords clashed with the arrows, producing a dense, clanging explosion!
Sparks flew! Dust billowed! Obscuring everyone's view!
When everyone's attention was once again focused on Yan Ri, he was already standing on the roof.

Looking down from his vantage point, the strange greatsword in his hand pointed diagonally at the ground, and the Asura mask appeared even more ferocious and terrifying in the firelight!
"Such swift movement! Such powerful swordsmanship!"

Lian Po's eyes flashed with a sharp light!
If it weren't for the warning from the Mohists, who knew that the Net would be detrimental to him, and the fact that he knew of Lord Xinling's fate and had secretly taken all necessary precautions, he wouldn't have been able to avoid it.

With such a stealthy and silent assassination method, coupled with such strength, if caught off guard, I might really follow in Lord Xinling's footsteps!

The Net... truly a major threat!

Da da da! Da da da!
More elite guards, each carrying a torch, surged in from all directions like a tide, completely surrounding the courtyard! Layer upon layer!
The sun was trapped in the core, completely surrounded! It couldn't escape!

He surveyed the area from his vantage point, roughly estimating the number to be at least eight hundred.
"Such a large number of elite troops, such a grand formation... even on the brutal battlefield of Changping back then, this would be a force to be reckoned with. For a mere assassin, General Lian Po, you really think highly of me, Yan Ri!"

Lian Po stroked his beard, showing no intention of wasting words with him, and waved his hand.

Thump! Thump thump thump! Thump thump!

The war drums, designed for night battles, were immediately sounded according to the specific drumbeats!
"Three breaths! Ten arrows! Search for the enemy on your own!"

"Team One, Team Three! Slowly press the attack!"

"Second team, fourth team! Spread out to the flanks!"

"Prepare your halberds! Prevent a breakout!"

"."

As the war drums sounded, squads of elite soldiers received orders and began to change formation!
Some drew their bows and prepared to fire a barrage of arrows, others raised heavy tower shields to form a shield wall and slowly pressed down, and still others wielded long halberds to patrol the perimeter and block the route...

The entire military formation, like a sophisticated war machine, began to slowly turn!
Dark clouds coalesced into a single mass, exuding a suffocating... aura of death!
A premeditated and organized siege targeting top experts has officially begun!
