Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

The rain was pouring down harder, and the thunder in the sky was growing brighter and brighter...

The moonlight and starlight that were once visible have now dimmed considerably.

The Blood Skull assassins were clearly hesitant.

Although they were given a mission that meant certain death, a mission that only the most loyal assassins could undertake.

But precisely because they are loyal enough, even if they are destined to die today, they will still think for the Blood Skull organization.

Even if Li Changqing, a grandson of the emperor who was not recognized by the emperor, were assassinated, it might not cause too much of a stir.

After all, the identity has not been confirmed, so who knows if it's true or false?

But the people of the Marquis of Sanyang's mansion are different.

Having mastered the Wuji Whip technique, Murong Yao must be a direct descendant of the Marquis of Sanyang.

If such a noblewoman from the main branch of the family were assassinated here, the Marquis of Sanyang's mansion would absolutely not let it go.

If Marquis Sanyang submits a memorial to His Majesty, His Majesty may very well take the opportunity to purge the entire Blood Skull.

And this is precisely what they absolutely do not want to see.

"What do we do now?"

One of the assassins couldn't help but ask their leader, the man in black, a question.

After a moment of silence, the man in black gave the order: "Things have come to this point; there's no turning back. Our goal is to complete the mission. As for what happens after that, that's beyond our control."

So what if I have some worries?

As qualified assassins, they have already accepted the missions and now they must complete them.

And it has to be done well!

Otherwise, their deaths would be meaningless and without any value.

"yes!"

"Do it!!"

Once assassins make up their minds to do something, they don't waste words. Seeing Li Changqing emerge, the assassins went berserk and swarmed him.

In the pitch-black rainy night, their swords reflected a cold, eerie light.

"With all this fuss, can you tell me who's behind you?"

Li Changqing was genuinely curious.

As the eldest son of the King of Qin, the thirteenth prince was involved in extremely important interests.

Li Changqing was not surprised that someone was targeting him.

As long as the profits are large enough, there will always be people willing to take the risk.

But he didn't expect that the forces the other side could mobilize would be so strong.

Previously, he used the Heavenly Divine Skill to attract a master of the Profound Realm and more than a dozen Innate Realm experts.

To put it bluntly, the mastermind behind the scenes has laid a trap.

Now they can also mobilize the assassin organization Blood Skull.

The Blood Skull assassins even knew exactly who they were assassinating.

Under these circumstances, the other party still dared to accept the order.

Li Changqing didn't believe it; he thought it was all about monetary employment.

The person behind it is most likely a high-ranking member of Blood Skull, or someone who can secretly control Blood Skull.

This is a ruthless character!

No assassin could answer Li Changqing's question.

He smiled calmly and made his move.

"Whoosh!"

With a burst of power, the assassin who had just charged forward suddenly froze in place, as if he had been frozen in time.

Murong Yao's whip was merciless; the moment the assassin froze in place, he was immediately whipped away.

"Snapped!"

After the person was thrown out, he smashed through the ship's planks and fell into a mountain stream in the rainy night.

"Um?"

Upon realizing this, the assassins immediately went on high alert.

They clearly sensed that a great danger was looming over them.

"What happened?"

No one could answer their questions, and even Murong Yao was stunned for a long time.

The strength that assassin just displayed should have reached the mid-stage of the Innate Realm.

This is a true master.

Even within a killer organization like Blood Skull, he was definitely a core member.

Even if he's not good at direct combat, it's impossible for him to be sent flying by a single whip.

Something must have happened here.

Before Murong Yao could think further, the assassins launched a long-range attack.

They threw knives and darts at the two of them as if they were free.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

……

Murong Yao wielded her whip with such skill that it was impenetrable and airtight.

That was barely enough to stop it.

The instant she blocked it, two knives plunged into his throat and heart in the darkness.

These assassins have an unparalleled ability to seize opportunities.

However, just when they were about to succeed, Li Changqing made another move.

"Whoosh!"

"Snapped!"

"Whoosh!"

*Smack!*

A loud bang came from each of the two assassins.

The voice wasn't loud, but everyone who was paying attention heard it.

Then they saw the two knife-wielding assassins, just like the previous assassin, who had turned into stone statues.

Not moving at all.

"court death!"

Murong Yao's whip struck the two men, sending them flying.

This is the second time Murong Yao has done this.

Even without prior discussion, the little girl's movements became much more skillful.

Three people!

In that brief moment, the three assassins had already left the battlefield.

I doubt they'll survive either.

"Damn it! There's a master protector in the shadows."

Now that things have come to this point, even the Blood Skull assassins have realized it.

Someone must have interfered.

The opponent's strength far exceeded their expectations.

That person could not only accurately locate assassins in the dark and pinpoint their pressure points, but also use a technique called "striking pressure points from a distance" to precisely strike their vital points.

They had never seen such a master before.

But one thing is certain: such a master must not be of innate talent.

The other party is a grandmaster at the Tongxuan realm.

"We've met our match!"

The leader of the assassins spoke in a low voice.

They should have realized it long ago; their master went to such great lengths to assassinate them because he had already confirmed their identities.

How could the 13th imperial grandson, whose identity has already been confirmed, not have any skilled guards protecting him?

It is said that every member of the royal family is protected by a master-level expert.

And that wasn't just any ordinary grandmaster!

"We can't win!"

If their opponent is a grandmaster, then with only a dozen or so of them, they simply cannot possibly be a match for him.

This is a kill order!

For the members of the Blood Skull organization, it was a task they had to complete no matter what.

They would risk their lives for it.

"Destroy the ship!"

It's just a ship; for experts at the Innate level like them, destroying it wouldn't be difficult.

In this mountain stream, it's impossible to see which way to go.

Once a person falls into the water, they will most likely drift with the current...

Even a master as powerful as him could not save someone in such an environment.

"Find an opportunity in the water; kill that man no matter what. As for the woman, kill her if you get the chance."

"yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the four assassins, all at the Innate level, smashed the ship with their weapons.
