With Gu Zhan's order, a dense barrage of feathered arrows poured down like a torrential rain, whistling through the air in a graceful arc before crashing down like a meteor shower.
In an instant, agonized wails and the clashing of metal rang out from the manor.
As one volley finished, a second rain of arrows shot forth again,
This wave of arrows was all wreathed in flame, descending in a flood upon the manor. In that instant, amidst endless howls and the clamor of steel, blazing infernos roared into life.
"Stop!"
The main gates burst open. Liu Ziyuan led a squad of men charging out. At the threshold, their eyes fell upon the formation of Embroidered Uniform Guard crossbowmen assembled at the entrance, all clutching specially-forged Divine Arm Crossbows made precisely to counter martial artists.
"Gu Zhan, stand down!"
