High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

This means that the masked man in front of them is very likely a member of the Black Death Gang.

Upon realizing this, Li Mo and the other two felt a chill run down their spines.

Xu Feng then said, "Weren't the Black Death Gang wiped out by our Great Xia military decades ago? How come they're still here?"

Li Mo sneered, then slowly said, "Heh, don't forget who's backing the Black Death Gang?"

The Black Death Gang was almost entirely composed of assassins, and at its peak, it had around two hundred members, with even the lowest-ranking among them being at the Two Elements Realm.

It is said that the leader is also a Four Symbols Realm expert!

Its backers are the Black Soil Tribe, one of the three largest countries in the world today.

Li Mo meant that the Black Death Gang of Great Xia had indeed been wiped out, but the roots of the Black Death Gang were in the Black Soil Tribe, which meant that the members of the Black Death Gang were most likely from the Black Soil Tribe.

Zheng Jiahao quickly understood Li Mo's meaning and asked in confusion, "How did the Black Soil Tribe know so perfectly that we were conducting combat exercises here? And how did they manage to catch us off guard so easily?"

"The military hasn't even realized what's happening yet, and ten of our thirty-two squads are already dead!"

Li Mo's face was ashen as he looked at his points watch and said, "Now it's more than ten teams."

The names of fifteen teams are now grayed out on the leaderboard.

This means that half of the people have already been harmed by the Black Death Gang.

Moreover, it seems that the Black Death Gang has dispatched more than just one or two assassins this time; the number is at least a full squad, which is more than seven people!

The Black Death Gang member in front of Li Mo and his companions was merely guarding this intersection.

The corpses around him must have been transported here by other members of the Black Death Gang, but Li Mo couldn't understand why they would use the corpses here.

The person before him was at an extremely high level; Li Mo speculated that he had reached the Two Elements Realm!

He was two major realms higher than Li Mo, not to mention the other new recruits who participated in the assessment.

Faced with such a martial artist, these new recruits were utterly powerless.

Zheng Jiahao said in a deep voice, "The Black Soil Tribe really thinks highly of us! They actually sent their painstakingly trained elites to kill us new recruits!"

Martial artists at the Two Elements Realm would be considered a backbone force in any country.

After all, most of the teachers at Starry Sky University, the top university in the Great Xia Dynasty, are only at the Blood Transformation Realm.

Li Mo said in a deep voice, "They want to strangle the future power of Great Xia, so naturally we must ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Li Mo speculated that there must be a traitor within the Great Xia military who informed the Black Soil Tribe of the news about the new recruits' trial, which is why the Black Soil Tribe sent people to assassinate him.

Although the people of the Black Soil Tribe are known for being simple-minded and physically strong, that doesn't mean they are all fools.

Of the thirty-two teams participating in the new recruit training this time, not to mention Li Moxian, there were no fewer than ten people who had reached the ninth rank of the Hidden Edge Realm.

Based on past experience, such a person will surely reach the Four Symbols Realm in the future.

The Four Symbols Realm would be considered a high-level martial artist in any country. For example, Qin Fei, a lieutenant general, is only at the Four Symbols Realm.

Looking at the three major countries in the world, there are probably no more than a thousand martial artists at the Four Symbols Realm.

That's only a thousand out of hundreds of billions of people!

It's extremely rare!

From the perspective of the Black Earth Tribe, even if they sacrificed the elite of the Black Death Gang, it would be worthwhile to eliminate these seeds of the future of Great Xia.

Just then, a sudden change occurred. The assassin from the Black Death Gang in front of Li Mo seemed to realize something and his gaze suddenly turned towards the location of the Silent Whisper Squad.

"run!"

Without hesitation, Li Mo shouted and then ran wildly backward.

Only then did Li Mo realize that the Black Death Gang practiced more than just the Black Death Gang Assassination Technique; they also had a unique method for sensing auras.

The purpose of this technique is to spread one's spiritual power outwards and then use that power to sense the enemy's presence.

It is said that when this technique is mastered, it can increase the range of one's ability to sense auras to a radius of five kilometers!

In other words, even if the enemy's presence is five kilometers away, the person who cultivates this technique can easily detect it.

There are actually many ways to sense aura, but the Black Death Gang's technique is somewhat special because even concealing one's aura is useless against it.

It is said that nothing that needs to breathe or even has active cells can escape the Black Death's detection.

Therefore, Li Mo determined that the members of the Black Death Gang in front of him had definitely sensed their presence. They had to leave the spot immediately, or their lives would be forfeit!

Fortunately, Li Mo reacted quickly. The Black Death Gang assassin did sense a certain aura, and once he realized it, Li Mo and the other two left the spot.

However, the Black Death Gang assassin immediately looked in the direction Li Mo and his companions had fled, as if he could see through their escape route, and gave a wicked smile.

"Three little mice? They run fast! Too bad they're useless!"

As he spoke, the man immediately chased after Li Mo and the other two.

……

Meanwhile, the military in Winterhold was also in complete chaos.

Because within half an hour of discovering the enemy invasion, the list of the thirty-two squads had already been mostly grayed out.

Only sixteen teams remain on the current team roster.

More importantly, Qin Fei immediately dispatched the nearest rescue team to the desolate mountain valley to save people, but they were no match for the enemy's martial artists.

The dozens of rescue soldiers who entered the desolate mountain valley also lost all contact, which means that they may have all been killed in action.

That's normal, since most of the rescuers are at the Blood Transformation Realm, how could they possibly be a match for the Black Death Gang's elite?

"Damn it!"

Qin Fei cursed loudly. If it weren't for the fact that Winter City needed him to be in charge, he probably would have already gone into the mountains to search for the person himself.

The officers of the companies to which these thirty-two recruit squads belonged were also as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Zhang Ruxue volunteered herself, saying, "General, let me go! I have to rescue them!"

Qin Fei shook his head and said, "Going there would only be suicide for you. The enemy planned this all along and sent out the nation's elite troops. Even if I went personally, it would be impossible to save everyone in a short time."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruxue anxiously asked, "Are we just going to watch them die?"

Qin Fei thought about it and realized that the only way was for him to go there himself. Even if he dispatched the nearest elite troops, it would probably take at least half an hour for them to arrive.

If we wait another half hour, the daylilies will probably get cold.

"Xiao Zhang, I'm going there personally. Remember this: if anything happens to me, you'll be in full command of Winterhold!"

Just as Qin Fei was about to leave, a phone call suddenly came into his office.

Qin Fei answered the phone, his expression suddenly becoming incredibly relaxed, even a smile appearing on his lips. After hanging up, he had no intention of leaving again and even sat down.

"General, what's wrong with you...?" Zhang Ruxue was puzzled, unable to understand why Qin Fei's attitude had suddenly changed so drastically.

Qin Fei smiled calmly: "Xiao Zhang, we don't need to worry."

"God bless Great Xia! I don't know whether to say this batch of new recruits is lucky or unlucky, but a martial god has arrived!"
