Chapter 40: Chaos

  Su Xingwang's power was unparalleled, and with one strike, he destroyed four Broken Dragon Cannons. However, he was still not a pre-heavenly strong practitioner. As a result, another Broken Dragon Cannon pierced through his defenses and struck the right shoulder of Yun Ying's substitute body.

  The terrifying power of that broken dragon bow burst out instantly, instantly blasting the right shoulder of Yun Ying's substitute into powder and falling to the ground.

  "Take action!! Kill Yun Ying this damned dog!!"

  With a loud roar, dozens of assassins wearing black uniforms and holding blades suddenly jumped out from the wall and rushed directly to the location where Yun Ying's substitute was.

  Those dozens of black-clad assassins each possessed a cultivation level above the Sixth Layer of the Acquired Realm, and there were also two Super Experts in the Nascent Soul Stage, as well as one Unparalleled Expert in the Sect Master Stage.

  This terrifying assassin burst into the mansion of Marquis Yongsheng, and immediately swept through like a hot knife through butter, killing batch after batch of Marquis Yongsheng's guards.

  Those hidden assassins also emerged from their hiding places, and crazily fought with those killers.

  Taking advantage of the great chaos, Su Han's ears trembled slightly, and he deployed his martial skills to conceal his breath. His entire being was completely retracted, then like a falling leaf, he silently and stealthily crept towards a corner.

  In just a few breaths, the first of those masters appeared in front of Suo Xingwang, and with a ruthless eight-product superior martial skill, Ku Rong Palm slammed towards Suo Xingwang.

  Endless true energy intertwined in the palms of that masked strong man, his right palm was surrounded by a green true energy, condensed into a baby's face, and his left palm was surrounded by gray true energy, condensed into a withered old man's face, extremely eerie.

  Ku Rong Palm is also a superior martial art of the eight extraordinary skills. If cultivated to the state of great completion, the true energy of Ku Rong can instantly make the enemy become old and decrepit, while restoring oneself to peak condition, with boundless power and profound mystery.

  Su Xingwang saw the withered and prosperous true energy, his eyes slightly retracted, and a ghostly resentment finger directly pointed at the withered and prosperous palm, while his mouth spoke to shake the mind of the strong man with a covered face: "Withered and prosperous palm? Are you an old man with withered and prosperous palms? You dare to come and assassinate Yongsheng Hou, aren't you afraid of being destroyed by nine clans?"

  That man with a scar on his face had a hoarse voice, and let out a strange laugh: "Hah, as long as Cloud Yi is killed, the Yong Sheng Marquis Manor will be in name only, and its collapse will be imminent. If you have the ability, then let him come and destroy my Jiu Zu, old man Ku Rong."

  Boom!

  The two superior martial arts, Kuang Rong Zhang and Gui Yuan Zhi, collided with each other, instantly producing a terrifying explosion sound. The corridor where Su Xingwang was standing suddenly burst open, splashing wood chips everywhere, and the fierce airflow spread out in all directions.

  After one blow, the figure of the masked strongman flashed like a sharp arrow towards Su Xingwang. The two sides fiercely fought together. Every time they clashed, their terrifying power shook everything around them to pieces, and no one could get close.

  The battle between the top masters has already begun to evolve in a superhuman direction. Except for those few strong men who have reached the state of dissolving energy, almost everyone else is unable to intervene.

  Dozens of assassins desperately blocked the guards of the Yongsheng Marquis's mansion, while the two masters in the later stages of the Eightfold Heaven Realm charged forward like a hot knife through butter, or a flash of lightning, towards the fake Yunying.

  When the two Nascent Soul stage experts rushed to Yun Ying's side, Su Xingwang's four disciples exchanged a glance and suddenly retreated, abandoning the fake goods and withdrawing directly.

  When they saw the actions of Su Xing's four great disciples, a sense of foreboding rose up in the hearts of those two high-ranking Nascent Soul cultivators. One of them waved his hand and a flying knife suddenly shot out, instantly stabbing into the brow of Yun Che's substitute, killing him on the spot.

  "Fall back!"

  With one move, the master of the Transcendent Realm shouted loudly.

  In the mansion of Duke Yong, there are many skilled fighters. In the Imperial City, there are also three preeminent masters who are in charge. These assassins only have the power to strike once. Once they engage in a prolonged battle, they will all fall here.

  "You think you can just leave like that? The remnants of the Zheng family are truly brazen, daring to assassinate me, a prince. They have no regard for the law and their crimes are heinous. I should have reported them to the Emperor earlier and had their entire clan executed." Just then, a middle-aged man with a robust build, wearing a general's uniform and a golden crown, emerged from behind a group of heavily armed elite soldiers. He looked almost identical to the decoy, but exuded an air of superiority and nobility that was unmatched. He gazed coldly at the black-clad figures and sneered.

  This man with an air of dignity and nobility is Yun Yi, the commander-in-chief of the 100,000-strong Northwest Army.

  Yun Ying waved her hand, and a cold command was given: "Take action, kill all these rebels!"

  Behind Yun Ying, dozens of elite archers drew their bows and shot arrows infused with internal energy, which turned into a storm of arrows shooting towards the black-clothed assassins.

  Those black-clad assassins fought desperately, but one of them was pinned down by an arrow and three were shot and wounded.

  After a wave of arrow rain suppression, a warrior holding a broken dragon crossbow made a move towards the assassin, pulled the trigger, and in an instant, the broken dragon crossbow shot out like a cannonball towards those black-clothed assassins.

  That broken dragon bow shot out, and a black-clothed assassin was immediately blasted through the body by that broken dragon bow, with blood splashing everywhere and mist dispersing. In just one round of attack, seventeen black-clothed assassins were hit by that broken dragon bow, either dead or injured, losing their combat effectiveness. Even a strong man in the state of gasification was shot through the body by that broken dragon bow and fell directly.

  These two rounds of long-range attacks had destroyed nearly a fifth of the Black Cloaks' combat strength. One hundred warriors, equipped with curved knives and fine armor, darted towards the Black Cloaks.

  "You treacherous Cloud family, my Zheng family only stopped you from taking a young woman by force at the Yuansheng Marquis's residence. After that, we even offered a large sum of money and apologized with our heads bowed. And yet, you still wouldn't let it go, secretly sending troops to annihilate my Zheng family, killing all 105 members of my household without any humanity, just like beasts! If I, Zheng Yuan, don't die, I will definitely keep an eye on the strengths and weaknesses of your Cloud family every day. One day, I will also annihilate your entire Cloud family!" A black-clad man glared at Yuansheng with a venomous gaze and shouted: "Withdraw!!"

  Yun Ying let out a cold hum and commanded, "Hmph, you lowly commoners, daring to offend my noble dignity, should die for the great Yan Wang dynasty. Now, you even dare to come and assassinate me, truly scorning the law of the king, with audacity that knows no bounds. Li Yong, go and kill all these rebellious parties!"

  Standing beside Yun Ying, a man with scars all over his face and an aura of evil energy, who possessed the cultivation base of Later Eightfold Heaven Refining Realm, Li Yong, the leader of Yun Ying's personal guard, had a flash of bloodthirsty energy in his eyes as he responded loudly: "Yes!"

  Under Li Yong's command, fifteen top military experts with spiritual energy cultivation charged towards the black-clothed assassins.

  At this time, those black-clothed assassins were already showing signs of defeat, and Yun Ying was considering how to quickly kill all these black-clothed assassins.
