The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 449 Waving in the Air

Now Chen Er understood that Wei Zhongxian's main target was not himself or Zhao Tianming, but himself, a second-rank official. At the same time, Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong, accompanied by armed guards, bravely arrived at Chen Er's side.

"Chen Er, you'd better leave quickly. We'll hold them off here. As long as you're alive, you can always make a comeback." Ma Dazhi kept waving his knife in the air to prevent anyone from throwing hidden weapons at Chen Er.

Looking around at the people who had formed a human wall for him, Chen Er shook his head and smiled bitterly. He took off his official robes and threw them on the ground.

"The people fought to the death for me, just so I could run away? As a second-rank official, I would never desert, and I will not let the people down."

Chen Er's voice was no longer calm as before; instead, it was extremely cold, sending a chill down the spines of Zhang Tianfei and the other assassins, permeating every corner of their bodies.

However, Zhang Tianfei was experienced and knowledgeable. This was not the first time he had attempted to assassinate an important figure. To put it bluntly, Zhang Tianfei had even been responsible for assassinating the emperor a few years ago.

Zhang Tianfei and several of his brothers attempted to assassinate the emperor, but their attempt failed, and the remaining members were killed on the spot by the Imperial Guards.

Zhang Tianfei was left to escape alone. From then on, Zhang Tianfei was hidden by Wei Zhongxian and never showed his face again.

Of course, the one who sent Zhang Tianfei to assassinate the emperor was none other than Wei Zhongxian. Now, in order to kill Chen Er, Wei Zhongxian has once again sent Zhang Tianfei out.

Of course, this time Zhao Beixing was directly tricked by Wei Zhongxian. Zhao Beixing spent a lot of money to have Wei Zhongxian prepare several very powerful assassins for him. Wei Zhongxian agreed to let Zhang Tianfei and the others go to meet Zhao Beixing. Wei Zhongxian had given them instructions beforehand.

Things might change, so they were told to act according to circumstances. Just this morning during the court session, the Emperor and Chen Er forcibly dragged Sun Yunhe into the mess, making him responsible for killing Zhao Tianming.

Just now, Wei Zhongxian sent someone to tell Zhang Tianfei that today's target has changed, from Zhao Tianming to Chen Er.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Tianfei and his men originally came to rescue Zhao Tianming, but unfortunately Chen Er and the Emperor tricked Sun Yunhe once. So this time, Wei Zhongxian retaliated by sending Zhang Tianfei and his assassins to send Chen Er to the dungeon.

Because in Wei Zhongxian's eyes, Chen Er was much more important than Zhao Tianming.

It was Chen Er's appearance that completely disrupted several of Wei Zhongxian's plans, and recently the Emperor finally had the guts to confront Wei Zhongxian face to face.

This means that Chen Er's appearance gave the emperor a glimmer of hope. Wei Zhongxian no longer wanted to delay any longer, otherwise he would have no control over the consequences.

What the people didn't expect was that Chen Er was so strong; not only did he not leave, but he also stood firmly with the people.

The common people felt that they had done nothing wrong, and that they had witnessed a good official rise rapidly in rank.

If Chen Er hadn't died here today, then Zhao Beixing and Sun Yunhe would likely have been the ones to suffer. Of course, Sun Yunhe wasn't afraid.

Sun Yunhe was Wei Zhongxian's most trusted henchman and one of the Five Tiger Generals. Wei Zhongxian would never have watched Zhao Beixing die in front of him, but that was a different story.

Zhao Beixing was being used by Wei Zhongxian and was still kept in the dark, so Zhang Tianfei's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Chen Er, you are truly a good official who cares about the people. It's just a pity that you were born at the wrong time and chose the wrong path. Today I am going to kill you."

After Zhang Tianfei finished speaking, he swung his long sword directly at Chen Er's position.

At the same time, Chen Er had already assumed a fighting stance, his fists clenched tightly. He charged towards Zhang Tianfei with a strange gust of wind, while Ma Dazhi thrust his long knife into the neck of an assassin.

Liu Chengdong did not back down either. He brandished his weapon with great force. Neither of them dared to stray too far from Chen Er, fearing that Chen Er might be ambushed. Zhang Tianfei was somewhat surprised as soon as he and Chen Er began to fight.

Zhang Tianfei hadn't expected that Chen Er, the legendary second-rank official, would also possess such formidable martial arts skills.

But so what? One is in the open and the other is in the dark, it's obvious this is an unfair fight. Just as Chen Er was about to punch Zhang Tianfei's head.

Suddenly, Zhang Tianfei grabbed an old man and threw him towards Chen Er's position.

Chen Er was startled. He couldn't possibly kill a commoner with a single punch, could he? He knew all too well just how powerful his punch was.

This punch was enough to shatter an ordinary large rock, let alone when it hit the old man's body.

Forced by circumstances, Chen Er had no choice but to temporarily withdraw his fist. Just then, Zhang Tianfei pushed off the ground with both feet, and his body seemed to transform into a shooting star as he quickly pounced towards Chen Er's position.

At the same time, Zhang Tianfei's long knife was very strange. Zhang Tianfei swung three moves in a row, each one aimed at the most vital parts of Chen Er's body. Chen Er was a little scared at that moment. He did not expect Zhang Tianfei to be so powerful.

Every powerful move Zhang Tianfei made was aimed at Chen Er's life. Zhang Tianfei's first slash went straight for Chen Er's neck.

The second attack was aimed at Chen Er's heart, and then Zhang Tianfei's third strike was aimed at Chen Er's back, directly blocking Chen Er's escape route.

Chen Er then realized that the assassin in front of him was definitely not simple and could not be an ordinary martial arts practitioner, because Chen Er had already sensed that the assassin's moves were too ruthless.

If Chen Er knew that this Zhang Tianfei was the assassin who had tried to kill the emperor, what would Chen Er think? And what would the emperor think?

Zhang Tianfei watched as the knife in his hand was about to slash Chen Er's neck, leaving a bloody gash.

Chen Er disregarded everything and used two fingers to firmly grip the long knife in Zhang Tianfei's hand. At the same time, Chen Er delivered a beautiful knee strike to Zhang Tianfei's head.
