The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 479: You Fight in the Front, I’ll Handle the Ambush

"Although we don’t know where Chu Nanli is, this formation doesn’t just rely on the Talisman; there are also four sorcerers in Border Nation reinforcing the power. There should be no problems at all!" Xuanyuan Che said confidently.

Ye Chengyan still looked uneasy and asked, "How long can this formation last?"

"An entire hour!"

"..." Ye Chengyan’s mouth twitched. An hour? With such a setup, he had expected it to last at least three to five hours.

Xuanyuan Che noticed his disdain and was slightly annoyed. "Do you really think Chu Nanli’s talismans are so easy to suppress? It takes the blood of dozens of virgins to craft these talismans over forty-nine days!"

People like Ye Chengyan, who enjoy the benefits without understanding the hardships, can never appreciate the difficulty involved. Having even an hour’s worth of time is already quite a feat!

Ye Chengyan composed himself and said, "Then there’s no time to lose. Launch the assault immediately!"

He gave the order, and the Black Armor Guards leaped over the walls of the Mansion of Marquis Anyang, starting their killing mission.

According to the law, the mansion cannot have more than fifty guards. The servants were not counted; their combat capability was minimal. The most challenging adversaries were Chu Hanlin, Chu Ye, and Chu Yang.

As Ye Chengyan had anticipated, the Chu family gathered in the main hall, with the servants protecting the women, while the guards and Chu Hanlin fought outside.

The wind and snow were fierce, and the bloodshed was intense.

Qing Feng, who had been biding his time, finally had the chance to showcase his skills. Tonight, he planned to demonstrate his progress and show everyone his true abilities.

With a single sword stroke, he killed several Black Armor Guards, displaying great bravery.

Looking to the side, expecting to see admiration, he found everyone’s attention drawn elsewhere. That was Chu Yang’s position.

Chu Yang wielded a long spear as if it were a dragon in flight. With a single sweep, before any blood was shed, he had already sent ten or so people flying!

This move drew applause from everyone.

Chu Ye: "Fourth Brother, your spear technique is truly remarkable!"

Chu Hanlin: "He has perfected the Fire Cloud Spell, and now he has become one with his spear!"

Chu Shuo stepped out, waving his fist: "Indeed, my fourth brother is impressive! He’s formidable!"

Chu Huan’s praise was even higher: "Fourth Brother, though young, has the aura of one who can hold back thousands. The future is promising!"

Even the injured Qingyang looked on with admiration, "Fourth Young Master’s skills... must be unmatched in the martial world..."

Qing Feng felt a pang of envy but suppressed it. He asked, "Fourth Young Master, what internal martial arts and spear techniques are these? Can you teach me?"

Chu Yang swept his spear again, and when he had a moment, he replied, "I’m afraid not. Master Zhao only taught me this set of techniques."

Qing Feng felt dejected.

Another wave of Black Armor Guards charged in, and Qing Feng wanted to step forward, but Chu Yang’s agile movements with the spear took down all the incoming Black Armor Guards effortlessly!

At this point, the Black Armor Guards had opened the gate to allow more of their number in, which in turn created an opportunity for Chu Yang.

Qingyang shouted with all his might, "Prince of Wu’an has the King of Enchanting Bugs! Kill him, and the situation will be resolved!"

Chu Yang’s eyes narrowed, and his spear danced swiftly, clearing a path through the Black Armor Guards and targeting Ye Chengyan’s fatal points.

Xuanyuan Che, standing beside Ye Chengyan, drew his sword to block the spear’s attack. However, the force of the blow had numbed his arm. He was astonished, thinking, what’s going on with Fourth Young Master Chu? How did his martial skills advance so much?

Chu Yang braved the cold wind and prepared to strike again. Xuanyuan Che, alarmed, was relieved when archers on either side released steel-tipped arrows, forcing Chu Yang to retreat to avoid the arrows.

Ye Chengyan, somewhat panicked, shouted, "Shoot! Fire arrows at me!"

His voice trembled with anxiety.

Steel arrows shot out in a dense barrage, leaving Chu Yang no chance to get close and forcing him to retreat back to the mansion.

Ye Chengyan, still apprehensive, quickly called back the Black Armor Guards to surround himself, preventing Chu Yang from finding any opportunities.

The situation reached a stalemate. Any few Black Armor Guards that entered the mansion would be dealt with by the Chu family.

Chu Yang planted his spear on the ground. His youthful figure was imposing as he declared coldly, "Ye Chengyan, as long as I am here, you shall not touch my family!"

Using talismans, they were not a match. But in a real fight, the Chu family had never been afraid!

From the distant Border Nation, the sixth sister couldn’t attend to this matter. Tonight, Chu Yang was determined to protect his family, which was the very reason he had devoted himself to martial training!

Ye Chengyan gritted his teeth but remained unhurried. "Your Chu family members are all valiant, but with just a few of you, you can’t hold back so many Black Armor Guards. However, I’ve already mobilized the Imperial Guard to the capital, including five hundred archers. If you don’t want to be turned into a sieve, you should kneel before me immediately!"

Chu Hanlin and Chu Ye’s faces changed color. Though others might not know, they were well aware of the strength of the Imperial Guard archers from their years in the capital.

The archers had great strength and long range. If they truly began shooting from all directions, avoiding them would be impossible!

Ye Chengyan added, "Consider this carefully before the Imperial Guard arrives!"

There was no need for further consideration. Chu Hanlin was focused on how to defend against the archers’ barrage.

Even if the Chu family took shelter indoors, the steel-tipped arrows would likely penetrate their defenses after a few rounds of shooting.

Xiao Wanyi, holding their son, had tears in her eyes. "My lord, we face life and death together tonight. In the next life, let us still be a family..."

Everyone understood that they might all die here tonight.

Chu Ye’s eyes were also red. He nodded and held his wife and son close.

Outside the mansion, the Qi Nation’s secret agents, hiding in a corner, anxiously awaited.

Seeing his subordinates return, the leader asked impatiently, "Did you find the locations of the Eight Directions Talismans?"

Although he had been ordered to protect the Chu family, he could not act recklessly. Breaking the evil formation was far better than trying to help directly.

However, his subordinate looked troubled. "We’re not skilled in the art of the Five Elements, how can we find the exact locations?"

The leader of the spies was furious. "Useless! You’re all useless! If anything happens to the Chu family, His Majesty will surely be furious!"

But with so few of them, they couldn’t compete with the thousands of Imperial Guards!

Where exactly did Chu Nanli go? Was he still caring for his family?

Meanwhile, in the Border Nation’s palace, Nanli sneezed, feeling a sudden chill.

She pursed her lips, thinking that Border Nation was warm year-round and didn’t have snow. So why did she feel so cold?

Although the Border Nation’s palace was not as grand as the Mu Nation’s, it was still spacious. She had been searching for a tea room for a while but still hadn’t found the place where Enchanting Bugs were kept. She decided to throw a coin.

Catching it, she glanced at it and said, "Heads, go right."

She turned to the right. After walking for a while, she found an open square with a platform in the center. On it, four people sat cross-legged, performing hand gestures and continuously channeling power into the central Talisman.
