The darkness of the night subsided like water, as time approached midnight. The wind whistled, causing dust and sand to whirl, scattering in the air like mist or fog.
This silent path was only illuminated by the cold moonlight. Not far ahead, Smoky Thea Tower was still lit up with a lit lantern, as an obscure musical instrument sound rang out from there. It makes the streets more unpleasant.
Following the sound of drunk hiccups, as well as slurred speech, the convoy of people walked closer in pairs and threes. The troops of the hundred freaks walked slowly in an undisciplined manner, causing the entire army to be delayed.
After enjoying good food and wine, NanGong Le and the Yang Family brothers brought their guards, as they sat unsteadily on horseback discussing some unknown topics on the way home. Occasionally, a lewd laugh would be heard from one of them.
They were approaching, even closer.
Finally, the silhouette of the front of the horse was seen crashing into a desolate and long road.
A silhouette flashed like a ghost. It was shot down from the roof of the building beside the road, without any warning. A hand holding a long sword shone with a cold light as it floated without sound or warning, piercing towards NanGong Le who was in front of the Yang Family brothers!
The busy NanGong Le, who was still discussing with Yang Wei, suddenly stiffened as he sensed killing intent and hurriedly lay on the back of his horse! The two bodyguards behind him jumped forward, the sword ready. The third guard even threw himself at NanGong Le, willingly sacrificing himself to block the sword for NanGong Le.
The ghostly figure seemed to warp and spin in the air, its sword flashing like electricity. It pierced through the ribs of the bodyguard in front of NanGong Le, easily piercing viciously into the chest of the panicked NanGong Le.
Blood splattered in all directions as NanGong Le let out a terrified scream. Thin streams of blood shot out from his chest, spurting out at least three feet in length. His body slipped from the top of his horse weakly, his status unknown.
The assailant calmly pulled back his sword, and with two ‘dang dang’ sounds, deflected the attacking sword thrust by the two bodyguards at him. The sword flashed past the necks of the guards, and they only felt a chill around the area before the two fell to the ground like a broken sack, warm blood spurting out from their necks.
The black masked man looked coldly smiling as he kicked with one leg, taking the opportunity where the guard protecting NanGong Le did not take his sword to kick his crotch. The guard was lashing out as he flew through the air, a whimper restrained out of his mouth, blood flowing out from all five holes in his face. Even before he landed, he had already stopped breathing. With another kick from the black-robed man, all of his organs and meridians were destroyed!
The horse received a shock, threw its head up and neighed.
What was conspiring in the NanGong area had made the three Yang Brothers extremely frightened. With a sweep of his sword, the black-robed man then brushed aside all the weapons coming towards him. Raising his right leg, the sound of ‘pop pop pop’ rang out as the Yang brothers kicked off their horses, flying away before touching the ground. The three of them hit the ground hard, shouting in pain.
The Yang Family Guards collectively heaved a sigh of relief – from the sad cry, one could hear that the lives of their three young masters were not in trouble, seeing how excited their cries were. However, the same could not be said for NanGong Le who stopped making noises after being stabbed once.
Hundreds of strange guards looked red as they attacked the black-robed man, as if they were possessed.
The latter did not dodge or flee, his body lightly hovering among the crowd of guards. With a brilliant flash of his sword, four heads separated from the body, shooting upwards into the sky and leaving four pillars of blood spewing out the ground. Before the head landed, the other six picked up the sword in their throats, their bodies stretched out in all directions as they fell down like cut grass. Blood arrows were seen flying everywhere.
The various guards all felt a chill in their bodies.
The black-robed man was like a demon! He did not hesitate in killing people. Once his sword appeared, at least one life would be extinguished. It's like the meaning of ‘one attack, one kill’, no middle ground! In the blink of an eye, corpses scattered on the ground around the black-robed man, as fear increased among the other guards. This was the first time they had felt death so close to them!
The NanGong Family had several guards risking their lives to rush into the killing zone. In an instant, three of them fell onto the black-robed man's sword but one of them managed to grab the unconscious NanGong Le to one side. Checking for his vital signs, an extremely weak breath could be found from him, as if he could die at any moment. The guard could not help feeling panicked, even though he was overjoyed by this unexpected news. He shouted, “Young Master is not dead yet! Hurry up and block the path, I will save Young Master first!” The other 70 to 80 were split into two, one part guarding and escorting the three Yang Brothers as well as NanGong Le, and the rest swarmed the black-robed man as if they did not want to live any longer.
The black-robed man's eyes let out a trace of ridicule. With a light sound coming out of his mouth, his body floated — like a butterfly among the men of — and his sword suddenly shot out thousands of brilliant cold rays. With another flip, the ten men closest to her started bleeding while retreating. They all had similar small wounds on their necks and were running out of time, returning to the darkness even before they could wail.
The remaining bodyguards knew that they had no way of survival to speak of. A certain giant figure, upon realizing that he would not come out alive, raised his sword and charged ferociously towards the black-robed man. He exerted the rest of his strength, grabbing the black-robed man in the bear's arms as his throat was pierced. If he succeeded, the surrounding guards would be able to hack the black-robed man into pieces.
The black-robed man's eyes remained calm and cold. With the sound of ‘shua shua’, the two big man's arms were severed. At the same time, a foot landed right on his stomach, causing the heavyweight to be lifted off the ground. The big man then collided with everyone behind him. At that moment, the guards behind were unable to pull back their swords in time, causing three or four of them to be buried deep into him. The big man then bumped into the people behind, squeezing them like pancakes. Before they could even get back up, a chill ran down their necks and they could no longer feel anything.
The sword in the black-robed man's hand became increasingly swift. Facing the siege like a tidal wave from all directions, he looked like a huge boulder that was resistant to the weathering of a thousand years, standing steadily without moving. Light after ray of sword light flashed, leaving only a warm corpse behind him.
The cold and dark path turned into hell in no time. As for the black-robed man, he was the life-seeker who led this hell!
After one round of killing, there were not many guards left. On the other hand, the group in charge of escorting NanGong Le as well as the three Yang brothers had not even left the streets. From this, one could see how ruthless the black-robed man was, killing at such speed. The faces of everyone present turned pale in panic and no one dared to look back to witness that scene of hell. All present only felt their scalps numb and their legs soften.
With a whistle, the black-robed man's sword made another round around his body and another eight people fell under his sword! Ownerless limbs flew everywhere and shattered body parts scattered on the ground. The last ten guards all knew what was coming next and revealed desperate expressions in their eyes. They all rushed forward in haste, hoping to use a self-sacrificing method to take down the black-robed man. However, the black-robed man simply jumped up, his sword emitting a silver spark of light around him, before borrowing the power to leap into the sky. In the air, he tipped over and pushed himself in the sky towards the fleeing group like a meteor!
Behind him, eleven bodyguards stood still as their throats let out a strange gurgling sound. Slowly, the swords in their hands clang on the ground as they all fell backwards, simultaneously shooting blood arrows from the slit of their throats.
From the beginning until now, the 67 guards who were besieging the black robes had fallen in battle, fresh blood painting the scene, with not a single one left alive! Such speed, such killing intent! Killing intent soared into the night, tyranny beyond words!
The figure of the black-robed man moved up and down, as he used his fastest speed to chase the fleeing group. At this point, the last one in the guard line suddenly stopped his steps, shouting as he raised his sword and slashed down with a slash overhead! The wind was cut by his blade, a signal of strength behind it!
The black-robed man, whose soaring speed was gradually decreasing due to the lack of external strength to support, suddenly swooped down and crossed his sword with a guard blade, like a comet falling to Earth. Using this newfound support, the black-robed man jumped over the man, stepped on his head and used it as a kickboard!
With the sound of ‘pa’, the guard head suddenly broke, similar to an 8kg hammer smashed on a watermelon! Blood and brain matter littered the area!
