"The fact that you're so wary of them shows they're quite capable."

Xia Liuqing was initially skeptical, but after meeting them, he no longer dared to underestimate them. If one were to set aside the prejudice of their identities, those assassins might not be much weaker than the elders of the Quanxing Sect.

"Let's wait and see, and wait for their good news."

Su Huo crossed his legs, lit a cigarette, and chewed on a cigar, looking completely relaxed and carefree.

.........

Sinful Sands stronghold.

In the dimly lit secret room, twelve figures in black robes gathered and sat around a round table. A copper oil lamp was placed in the center of the table, illuminating the old and indifferent faces around them.

Unlike the Tang Clan, Quanxing, and many other sects, the Sinful Sand has no specific leader. All power is divided among the strongest assassins, while the rest must obey the elders' arrangements.

Every member belonging to the Sinful Sands who wants to climb to the center of power does so by stepping on the corpses of their fellow members. The organization follows the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak. As long as one is strong enough, one can replace an aging and declining elder.

Jin Feng's elder is also one of the twelve elders. These old foxes, who have been through the gates of hell many times, are now drawing lots to select the personnel for this assassination operation.

A blood-red tumor-like head sat on the round table. Its face was ferocious, like a vengeful ghost, and its teeth were slightly open, spitting out beads of different colors, black and white, towards each elder.

Black represents participation, while white represents staying behind.

instantly.

The selection process was completed, and the old man with a physique like a mountain of flesh representing the 'Pig' position in the Chinese zodiac and the middle-aged man with black hair representing the 'Monkey' position were not included in this operation.

Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon.

Snake, Horse, Sheep, Rooster, Dog.

The ten strongest elders of the Sinful Night Sand were in charge of this assassination operation. In addition, their elite confidants also participated in the hunt.

Without a doubt, the deal for 60,000 taels of gold was their largest transaction in decades, with the target being the recently renowned San Yi Men.

Once this deal is completed, they will gain a status in the industry far exceeding that of other assassination forces. With such a generous reward, they would rather risk being torn to pieces than find any reason to refuse.

The elder in the 'Wu Ma' seat had a gaunt face and hands like dry twigs. He casually tossed a letter onto the table, and his hoarse voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"Two hours after the employer left, Xiao Zhan sent word over."

"The sect leader of Trinity instructed you all to set up a cenotaph before you set off; he's waiting for us on the mountain."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room became deathly silent.

Someone broke the silence without hesitation: "Since the news has been leaked, let's be open about it."

"According to Boss Xu, both the Shadow Bamboo Society and the Myriad Thoughts Hand participated in this encirclement and suppression. Including us, there are at least a hundred people. Those Three Ones disciples are just struggling like trapped beasts."

Elder Si, with his cold gaze and unparalleled strength, slowly rose, surveyed the area, and with a trembling smile, gave the order:

"Summon your disciples and prepare them. We shall depart at dawn tomorrow and must not disperse."

"it is good."

"If we work together, we will surely win the first place."

Elder Wu Ma seemed to have heard good news. His laughter was low and deep, and a terrifying bloodlust flashed in his eyes beneath his black robe. He supported his old friend's plan.

...........

Coincidentally, elite troops from all the Shadow Bamboo Society's outposts scattered throughout the region were dispatched to converge on the Trinity Gate.

Under the chairman's orders, the five top-tier assassins were dispatched in full force, along with several veteran figures and more than twenty core members, demonstrating a significant investment of resources.

As for the Myriad Thoughts Hand, it was arranged similarly, and was even equipped with a large number of firearms and explosives.

Under the cover of darkness, they left the city. The nearly one hundred figures gathered there moved like ghosts through the mountains and forests, crossing mountains and rivers, their swords aimed at the Sanyi Sect.

In a single day, three renowned assassination forces in the martial arts world rushed to the Sanyi Sect.

..........

The moon hangs in the night sky, on the fourth floor of the Sutra Repository.

Jiang Mo, Si Chong, and Cheng Zhen, the three pillars of the sect with the highest cultivation, sat here meditating and adjusting their state.

The disciples responsible for guarding the Qi diagram were Changqing and Shengsheng. The two gazed at the floating diagram, taking in the real-time movements near the mountain gate.

In the courtyard outside the building, several disciples were still awake. Lu Jin, Zhuge Yu, and Shui Yun were wiping their guns and reloading their magazines.

"Xiao Lu, do you think those people will really come?"

Zhuge Yu lifted the wooden plank of the box and searched inside for grenades, checking them one by one.

"It's uncertain. It could be a few days at the fastest, or no more than a week at the slowest."

Lu Jin glanced at the pavilion behind him and said thoughtfully, "Of course, if they don't come, then my uncle will have to go over there."

Shuiyun stuffed the magazine into the submachine gun, frowned slightly, looked at her two junior brothers, and suddenly instructed them:

"This struggle is destined to end only when one side is destroyed, so you two must not be careless."

"They are even more troublesome than the Quanxing and the foreign devils. They are proficient in killing techniques. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. You must go all out to fight them."

Lu Jin and Zhuge Yu's expressions tightened, and they silently made a mental note of it.

"Senior brother, we will be careful."

"That's good."

Shuiyun smiled with relief, suddenly realizing how quickly time had passed.

It felt as if he had just brought these two junior brothers into the school yesterday. In the blink of an eye, many years had passed. Now they had grown up, mastered the Double Reverse Life Technique, and were beginning to show their talents.

The three chatted idly all night, examined their weapons under the ancient tree, and then meditated to rest.

The next day, at dawn.

"Uncle-Master, this is bad! Someone is approaching, and they're moving very fast."

Changqing's exclamation suddenly woke up Jiang Mo and the others.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw four jumping red Qi dots appear on the Qi diagram. They gathered together and approached the mountain gate, appearing and disappearing intermittently. In less than a few breaths, they had closed to within a hundred meters.

Chapter 131 Courage is commendable

"Oh?"

Jiang Mo's gaze seemed to pierce through the void as he looked beyond the pavilion. Crimson-gold Dao traces appeared in his eyes, and the Qi net he had set up instantly captured a strange gray mist that was sweeping across the mountain forest and stone steps.

"Junior brother."

"Uncle Master."

Chengzhen and Si Chong also sensed something, and that inexplicable unease grew stronger. This time, the enemy attacking the mountain was probably particularly troublesome.

"Just come."

Jiang Mo slowly stood up, his hair instantly turning white, and his body was surrounded by a flawless, blazing silver flame-like white light. The Reverse Rebirth Triple Force pushed his physical body to its peak state.

"Everyone, follow me to subdue the demon."

Under their expectant gaze, Jiang Mo spoke with unwavering resolve.

"call out--!"

He leaped down through the open window, creating a strong gust of wind that startled his three disciples beneath the ancient tree.

"Uncle Master!"

Before Lu Jin could finish speaking, he saw several other senior brothers rushing towards him in their Reverse Life vehicles. He immediately realized it was an enemy attack and, along with Zhuge Yu and Shui Yun beside him, activated their profound skills and followed them.

Outside the mountain gate, eight white-haired figures stood tall, a long wind raged, and terrifying waves of Qi surged forth like a tsunami.

A deafening thunderclap echoed across the mountain sky, the heavens gradually darkened, and silvery lightning tore through the sky, disappearing in an instant.

As the gray fog gradually dissipated, four figures of varying heights emerged.

The man at the head, wearing a crow mask, suddenly locked his gaze on a figure a hundred meters away. A deep sense of apprehension appeared in his eyes, hidden beneath the mask.

"Will, it seems these idiots are well-prepared."

The dwarf old man let out a sharp, piercing jerk, his狰狞 face now laughing wildly, completely unafraid of the strange people in front of him.

The man wearing the raven mask ignored the old man and only made a request to the gray-haired woman beside him:

"You Sha, use your abilities to trap the first target, and leave the rest to me."

"it is good."

The gray-haired woman, known as You Sha, came from the overseas Kingdom of Great Britain. Her cold, sharp eyes were filled with vigilance. The white cube in her right hand began to slowly expand and then contract, like the breathing of a living creature.

As the two strongest assassins, Will and You Sha immediately sensed Jiang Mo's terrifying power; without a doubt, he was more worthy of attention than any of their previous enemies.

"All show and no substance."

The ronin swordsman from the East suddenly drew his katana from his waist, releasing golden flames that clung to the blade and burned fiercely.

"clatter......"

Will took a step, and grayish-brown Qi flowed down from his body. The stone steps began to corrode, becoming pitted and uneven, like diseased tissue, with pus oozing out and the stench of death spreading.

Facing the four men who made no attempt to conceal their murderous intent, Jiang Mo remained calm. Wanting to hear his disciples' thoughts, he asked:

Should I leave one or two alive for you to practice on?

"Or should we kill them all?"

"As you wish."

As Chengzhen watched the four approaching figures, his right hand crackled with brilliant lightning, ready for a bloody battle at any moment.

"Senior brother?"

"Yes," Si Chong replied.

Jiang Mo walked forward alone and said, "The deformed dwarf and the Japanese swordsman are yours to deal with. Can you kill them?"

"can."

"Then I'll go and break through their formation first, and you guys follow up and surround them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Mo's aura suddenly surged. Even a lion must go all out to hunt a rabbit, especially at the mountain gate, where he could not afford to be careless.

"Boom——!"

A blur flashed by, creating a terrifying sonic boom as Jiang Mo swooped down, so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to catch it.

"Buzz!"

You Sha was terrified. She felt death approaching, her heart rate soared, and the white cube in her hand instantly enlarged, forming a barrier for defense.

Jiang Mo's right fist was filled with blazing silver light, as if it were a gathering of qi to form armor. His blood and qi surged, and the tendons in his right hand were like a fully drawn bowstring, which burst out in an instant, and the force of shattering mountains was fiercely blasted out.

"Boom!!!"

Without even a moment's pause, You Sha's proud defense was shattered instantly.

"Pfft..." A mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth.

The rampaging fist energy rolled like a tornado, turning the stone steps within a radius of more than ten meters into dust. The gray aura surrounding Will suddenly expanded and covered Jiang Mo.

"call out!"

Faced with an absolute speed advantage, his counterattack seemed so pale and powerless. Before the gray mist could strike, Jiang Mo had already opened the Heavenly Kingdom with his left hand, trapping the veil of darkness that was almost within reach.

"help me!!!"

The transparent vortex twisted and twisted, bursting with terrifying pulling force. You Sha seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not break free. She immediately called out to her companions.

The ronin's pupils contracted sharply, not expecting the enemy to attack so quickly. He used his secret movement technique to attack at top speed, not to rescue You Sha, but to swing his sword from the side and slash at Jiang Mo's throat.

The densely packed shadows, each one lifelike, relied on the restraint of the avatars to deliver a clever blow to Jiang Mo.

"clang--!"

A second before his blade fell, Jiang Mo raised his hand to block. His five blazing silver fingers, covered in Qi armor, gripped the weapon tightly in the ronin's astonished gaze, and the collision between the two even produced a crisp sound.

No matter how the golden flames burned out of thin air, his palms never loosened and remained unaffected.

"Boom!!!"

A massive bolt of lightning exploded from Jiang Mo's palm in an instant. Using the katana as a medium, the thick, dazzling lightning bolts bombarded the ronin's hands relentlessly.

His flesh was charred black and dripping with blood, as he let out a piercing scream: "Ah!!!"
