“Swish!”
The crossbow bolt flashed and pierced into the assassin’s butt. Due to the violent power of the crossbow bolt that was shot at point-blank range, it penetrated right through the entire body and into the brain. It was an instant death!
“Lao San?”
The other assassin was also trying to dodge the rock shards. He was shocked to hear something pierce through the air and feel the wave of essence force. He looked over to the assassin beside him and saw his comrade’s eyes wide open as blood trickled down his mouth. The body went soft and fell to the ground.
“Bang!”
The ground shook, moving aside the mud on top as a green dagger thrust from within, turning the dead assassin’s body into mince. A figure that was drenched in blood burst forth as the green short sword thrust towards the other assassin with a rain of blood!
Jiang Yi’s face was covered in fresh blood, and his eyes were filled with a chilling murderous intent—as though he was a devil from hell. When the assassin saw Jiang Yi, his body trembled.
“Die!”
Jiang Yi might have emerged from nowhere, and the assassin might have been stunned by the sudden change of events. However, the latter was still able to react on first notice. Essence force revolved around his hand as he slammed it towards Jiang Yi’s head. It was obvious how competent the combat strength of the assassins from the Death God Organization was.
“God-Exterminating Crossbow!”
Jiang Yi roared as he suddenly lifted his left hand. The God-Exterminating Crossbow let out a black glow while the assassin immediately withdrew his fist and retreated frantically!
“You got tricked, you stupid pig!”
Jiang Yi laughed lightly. The Green Destiny Sword which shrouded the assassin like a rain of arrows suddenly dispersed. The sword turned into a flying blade, thrusting towards the assassin. It was the third stance of the Overflow Rain Sword—Autumn Intent Desolation Release!
During a fight between martial artists, the most important thing was control! Not only control over the enemy but also of oneself. This assassin was confused by Jiang Yi’s constant changes in moves, causing his state of mind to be frenetic. He didn’t even dare to counterattack, but instead, he was just reacting to the different moves.
The third stance of the Overflow Rain Sword, Autumn Intent Desolation Release, was a move that was meant to be all or nothing: using the essence force to revolve around the weapon and using the largest strength and speed to shoot it out. If this move didn’t manage to injure the enemy, the loss of weapon would be a huge setback.
When the assassin saw Jiang Yi shot out his weapon, he wasn’t shocked but delighted instead. His arms flashed and wanted to—at all costs—deflect the Green Destiny Sword. But… he didn’t know that Jiang Yi’s true killer move wasn’t this—but the Exploding Essence Palm!
The Exploding Essence Palm that hadn’t been released had already condensed. Jiang Yi’s body burst forward together with his sword. A blue and black essence force suddenly slammed on the assassin.
“Boom!”
An intense explosion resonated, instantly blasting the assassin away. Due to the point-blank range, how would his flesh body withstand such extreme explosion? Jiang Yi was now at the seventh stage of the Cast Tripod Realm. Coupled with the black essence force and Exploding Essence Palm, his current firepower was as though a full force attack from a martial artist at the third stage of the Purple Mansion Realm.
Had this been any other time, the assassin wouldn’t need to fear an attack from someone from the third stage of Purple Mansion Realm and would be able to easily evade it. But after being suppressed by Jiang Yi, how was he going to dodge such a surprise attack?
“Ah—”
While the assassin let out a miserable scream, a high-pitched scream came from a female cadet squatting by the carriage. Jiang Yi advanced forward within the blood mist and lifted the Green Destiny Sword with his leg. He caught hold of the Green Destiny Sword with ease and rushed forward like a phantom. Before the assassin could react, Jiang Yi used the Green Destiny sword to pierce his heart!
“En?”
The huge explosion alerted the mentors and members of the guards’ team. But due to the distance, they could only see two fuzzy figures. One of the male mentors had a change in expression, and he shouted, “I will go over and take a look! You guys kill this Mountain-Piercing Mouse!”
This Mountain-Piercing Mouse was at the end of its road, but it was still a superior tier-two demonic beast. There was a saying that a starving donkey was stronger than a horse, and the mentors didn’t dare to be complacent while continuing to attack with full strength.
“Mentor Xiao, we shall go with you!”
Two other male mentors shouted, and the eyes of Mentor Xiao flashed as he nodded. The three of them rushed towards Jiang Yi with a high speed.
“I shall go take a look, too.”
A clear voice echoed as a beautiful female mentor came chasing. Mentor Xiao and the other two mentors looked at one another in the eyes. Their brows frowned, and Mentor Xiao spoke with some hesitation, “There is no need right? Mentor Su, there shouldn’t be any problem.”
Su Ruoxue, who was dressed in white, sprinted towards Jiang Yi without listening to any explanation. Mentor Xiao and the other two mentors followed closely with a solemn expression.
“What is happening?”
When the four of them arrived at where Jiang Yi was, Mentor Xiao took a glance and shouted coldly. The other two mentors locked their eyes on Jiang Yi who was drenched in blood.
“Murderer! He murdered a member of the guards’ team!” The female cadet, who was still hiding in the toppled carriage, pointed at Jiang Yi and screamed in horror.
Jiang Yi had been blasted and was seated on the ground after consuming a recuperation elixir. When he saw Su Ruoxue and the mentors walked over, he stood up and walked out from a corner. He tore his human skin mask and said indifferently, “I am Jiang Yi, a Write-In Cadet. Nothing much happened; a few bastards tried to kill me and had been killed by me.”
“Such audacity! Actually killing the members of the guards’ team? You court death!”
Mentor Xiao flared up and was about to rush over to Jiang Yi. The two mentors on the side revealed killing intent in their eyes while the weapons in their hands were glowing with essence force. Su Ruoxue suddenly spoke coldly, “Mentor Xiao, do you want to give up your life? You overstep your authority and kill a cadet? Or do you have the confidence to silence me as well?”
Mentor Xiao stopped in the midst and revealed a perfectly astonished face as he turned to look at Su Ruoxue. “What are you talking about Mentor Su? This cadet has gone berserk and actually dares to kill a guardsman? Isn’t it appropriate to execute him on the spot?”
“Even if you want to execute him, you have to wait for Principal Qi to be back, right?”
Su Ruoxue’s eyes were filled with mockery as she said indifferently, “Let me advise you. If you aren’t certain that you can silence me as well, then you better not make any moves. If not… you only have death waiting for you.”
Jiang Yi laughed too. “No worries. Let them kill me. Since I, Jiang Yi, already killed three Purple Mansion Realm guards consecutively, I am not afraid to kill another three mentors! If you aren’t afraid of death, then come. My three dearest mentors, I know that you have received plenty of purple gold, but do you have the life to spend it?”
“En?”
Mentor Xiao and the other two mentors had this change in expression. They hesitated when they looked over at the corpses on the ground and saw that one of them had already turned into a minced flesh. Most importantly, they didn’t have any certainty that they could take out Su Ruoxue together.
Just when the three of them were hesitating, two figures suddenly flew over. They both wore the warrior robes just like the guardsmen. When their eyes locked onto Jiang Yi, it was nothing but killing intent.
Dammit!
Jiang Yi and Su Ruoxue looked at each other in the eyes; this time, it was their expressions that changed. The opposition’s reinforcement had arrived, and these three mentors might take the risk.
As expected!
The two mentors that were beside Su Ruoxue suddenly brandished their swords and attacked Su Ruoxue. On the other side, Mentor Xiao burst towards Jiang Yi and shouted, “Jiang Yi! You recklessly killed a member of the guards’ team. I, as a Mentor, shall enact the law on you now!”
“Kill!”
The two assassins that came from a distance didn’t have a clear picture but instantly understood what was happening. These three must be the spies that their client mentioned. They immediately split up: one of them went assist Mentor Xiao to kill Jiang Yi while the other headed towards the Su Ruoxue.
“Murder, murder…”
The female cadet, who hid at the carriage, didn’t understand what was going on. Her body trembled as she continued to scream. That frightened face was especially pale under the light of the moon.
