Chapter 91 - Thunderbolt Slays the Enemy, Thousand-Mechanism Umbrella
Li Guanqi grabbed Zhong Lin’s arm and leaped across the rising buildings’ rooftops with swift, fluid movements.
Thud!
As he landed, he flung Zhong Lin forward before even regaining his balance. No whisper of wind could be heard in the pitch-black space, yet Li Guanqi could feel the subtle currents and shifts in the surrounding air.
In a flash, his sword lashed out four times.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Several crossbow bolts were struck clean from the air, one after another. Shadows flickered—figures retreating swiftly into the dark.
Still suspended in midair, Zhong Lin’s eyes went wide with shock. Four strikes in a single breath!
His throat bobbed with difficulty as he landed lightly.
Everything had happened so quickly that Zhong Lin didn’t even realize why Li Guanqi had drawn his sword. It was only when sparks burst in the dark that he realized there were enemies nearby.
Zhong Lin drew his longsword warily and asked, “Should we pursue them?”
Li Guanqi shook his head and tossed him a set of night clothes, saying softly, “Change first. Let’s not desperately chase a cornered rat. We should figure out what’s going on underground first.”
The two quickly changed and went deeper into the passage.
