Soul echo

Chapter 228 Evidence

Purcell followed Zhong Ye and left the banquet hall. After entering the corridor, he felt much warmer.

He quietly looked at Zhong Ye and Lilian. In his eyes, these two people looked like adventurers in their outfits, but their acting style and fighting ability were not what adventurers could possess.

Before Purcell could figure it out, the group of them ran into Graham's personal guard.

As a general, Graham was qualified to have personal guards, and his personal guards lived in this mansion, but the area where the daily activities did not overlap with the area where the servants were active.

The previous battle between Zhong Ye and Graham made a lot of noise, even the house was shaken, it is impossible for Graham's personal guards not to feel it.

After seeing those soldiers with muskets, Lilian turned to look at Zhong Ye, "Teacher, what should I do?"

"You hide aside first." As he said that, Zhong Ye stretched his neck, continued to move forward, and drew out his big sword at the same time.

Lilian followed suit and hid behind a stone pillar beside her, not forgetting to drag Purcell along.

This mage is an important witness, who can prove that the unknown noble is a cultist, and can help them clear up a lot of trouble.

Zhong Ye was covered in blood, and he came from the direction of the banquet hall. The guards didn't even need to use their brains to know what happened.

"shooting!"

The captain of the personal guard made a decisive decision and took the lead in aiming his gun at Zhong Ye.

Hearing the order, the guards raised their muskets one after another, looked through the mechanical sights, crossed the crosshairs, and landed on Zhong Ye.

They pulled the trigger together, and the bullets shot out of the gun almost at the same time.

Zhong Ye took a deep breath, swung the big sword and the straight knife, and a fierce sword wind blew.

He stood there, with swords and swords forming an intercepting net in front of him, splitting all incoming bullets.

Then, Zhong Ye stepped forward!
forward!forward!
As Zhong Ye advanced, a strong sense of oppression descended on everyone. They looked into the deep eyes of the tall man opposite, as if they saw an abyss.

He was silent, his footsteps were firm, even a bullet that could kill a knight who had trained for more than 20 years could not stop his footsteps.

Fear slowly rose. Even if the personal guards fired in an orderly and alternate manner under the captain's command, they couldn't stop Zhong Ye from advancing.

Zhong Ye didn't run, he just left footprints on the stone bricks step by step. His heavy steps seemed to be stepping on the hearts of the soldiers. Every time he took a step, their hearts would beat violently.

As the general's personal guards, the firearms used by these soldiers would naturally not be flintlocks, but even with the firing speed of a bolt-action rifle, there was no way for Zhong Ye to stay in place.

Fear surged like a tide, covering the soldiers' ankles, calves, and hips...

"Back! Back!"

The captain of the personal guard standing in front of the team finally couldn't hold back his fear and ordered the others to retreat with him.

After giving an order indiscriminately, he reacted again, and hurriedly said: "Keep shooting! Keep shooting even if you are retreating!"

"is that useful?"

Zhong Ye spoke for the first time, and a cold voice overflowed from his throat.

His line of sight and his perception have firmly locked on every muzzle. No matter which muzzle emits flames or bullets are fired, he can immediately detect that no bullet can fall on him. .

The captain of the personal guard opened his mouth to speak, but Zhong Ye yelled, "Those who surrender will not die!"

clap clap-

In an instant, several soldiers threw the muskets in their hands to the ground.

Those soldiers raised their hands with pale faces, and the others turned their heads in disbelief. They never imagined that their comrades would abandon them at such a time.

The other soldiers were still hesitating, but Zhong Ye would not give them another chance.

The soles of the feet were arched as hard as possible, the breath poured into the supporting legs, all the muscles were tensed, and the strength was channeled into the ground.

The earth responded with the same force, pushing Zhong Ye's body forward!
The distance of more than ten meters passed in a flash, and the eyes of the soldiers holding the muskets slowly opened wide. When they realized it, the sword's edge gleaming with cold light was already approaching their eyes.

Moonlight tore the skulls of several soldiers, chipping off their brains.

Before the blood spewed out, the straight knife let out a groan, piercing the head of the head of the personal guard from bottom to top.

Zhong Ye crashed into the formation of the guards, and his indifferent gaze swept across everyone's faces, arousing their fear from the bottom of their hearts.

But some people have already lost the opportunity to feel fear, they had no time to drop their muskets, and the sharp swords harvested their lives.

The blades and blades passed by the soldiers who had dropped their weapons, without hurting them at all. However, all their comrades in arms died under Zhong Ye's sword.

In just five seconds, more than a dozen bodyguards were killed and injured!

Even if the remaining bodyguards were sprayed with blood and brains, they didn't dare to move. They watched Zhong Ye harvest the lives of their companions, but they didn't dare to do anything, and they didn't even dare to breathe. .

Glancing at them, Zhong Ye shook his arms to shake off the blood stained on the sword.

"Tell me, who is the owner of this house? Where does he usually work? Where is that place?"

The rest of the bodyguards trembled and stared blankly at Zhong Ye, not daring to say a word.

Even if Zhong Ye asked a question, they didn't dare to answer or make a sound.

Purcell poked his head out from behind the stone pillar, saw the corpses all over the ground, and couldn't help swallowing.

Where did this butcher come from, he was able to kill so many people without changing his face...

Hearing Zhong Ye's question, feeling his beating heart, he gritted his teeth and walked out, "I know!"

Zhong Ye looked back, looked at Purcell indifferently, "Take me there."

Unable to resist rolling his Adam's apple again, Purcell put on an ugly smile on his face, and walked over with difficulty, "Okay, okay..."

The muscles of the body were extremely stiff, and the joints seemed to be condensed into one piece, making it difficult to move.

Even so, Purcell still stepped over a pile of horribly dead corpses, stepped on a pool of blood, and came to Zhong Ye's side.

"My lord, please come with me, I, I will take you there."

Purcell knew that the smile on his face must be ugly now, but he didn't know what expression he could put on besides a smile.

Lilian also walked over, her eyes flicked over the corpses all over the floor, and she couldn't help pursing her lips.

Looking up at Zhong Ye, he saw that he had asked the mage to lead the way to the owner's office, so he followed.

After the three of them left, the guards woke up like a dream, realizing what they had just done and what had happened.

Their eyes trembled, their gazes slowly lowered, and blood came into their eyes.

The two soldiers sat slumped on the ground, staring blankly at the corpses all over the ground, with tears overflowing from the corners of their eyes.

Sobbing and crying...

Along the way, Zhong Ye and the others did not encounter any obstacles.

Those servants didn't have the guts to stand up and stop them at all, just the terrifying image of Zhong Ye covered in blood was enough to make them fearful.

Purcell took Zhong Ye up to the second floor and came to Graham's office.

The door of the office was locked, and just as Purcell was about to do something, Zhong Ye kicked the door open and walked in.

Frowning slightly, Lilian, who seemed to have some thoughts, followed behind Zhong Ye and walked into the dark room.

Purcell closed his mouth, hurriedly followed, and then lit the crystal lamp in the office.

Looking around the office, Zhong Ye turned his attention to Purcell again, and asked, "Do you know where that guy's letters are kept?"

Purcell was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but looking at Zhong Ye's eyes as deep as the abyss, he couldn't say the words 'deny'.

...Perhaps, he shouldn't have followed.

The corner of Purcell's mouth twitched a few times, showing an ugly smile, walked to the edge of the desk, and opened the drawer, "Probably, it's here?"

After opening the drawer, he was stunned, because what appeared in front of his eyes was a pile of letter paper!
