Chapter 621: Taken By Surprise
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the ground, there were multiple masked men in black. They launched a frenzy of attacks from different directions, concentrating their focus on the spot where Yun Yang was about to land. The attackers were unrestrained, charging brutally and sending the people on the street flying…
They were not at all bothered by their indiscriminate violence, for they only had Yun Yang as a target in their eyes. Whatever and whoever was blocking them were but obstacles; they would not be unduly bothered by their deaths.
The killing intent permeated the air, condensing, gathering, surging…
In the sky, under the ground, and in the space between, countless assassins that hailed from every corner of the land had built an invincible net! To top it off, they were all excellent killers with substantial cultivation base.
Yun Yang, who was in dire danger, became exceedingly focused; he held Shangguan Lingxiu with one arm while the other gripped the refined steel saber tightly, wielding it in a constantly changing motion. He hacked, flicked, stuck, thrust, blocked and crushed everything in his path…
He had deflected all the weapons and arrows that were part of the ambush without missing a beat. At the same time, he continued moving ceaselessly, his eyes following the path of the weapons so as to avoid them and leverage on their trajectory.
All the while, he thought to himself, 'Who is it? Who is this?'
As he spun around, he managed to steal a glimpse at the top room that was now clear for all to see. The third prince's entourage had all died in there. Although Yun Yang had wanted to kill them for being so heinous, he did not want to act on it so fast; little did he know that they would not survive until he was able to act out his wishes. He wondered if this was considered the cycle of fate, the provision that God forgave no one.
On the whole, the whetstone should be trashed from this day forth. Forget about being a whetstone, it would be a great boon of fate if the third prince could retain his sanity and abilities after today's experience!
Yun Yang sighed regretfully.
'I really did not mean to trash you. I truly intended for you to retain your power… however, your luck, as it stands…'
Suddenly, a gut-wrenching voice roared out tearfully, "Quick! Quick, save His Highness! Faster… faster! Report to the officials! Young Master Yun is being attacked… Ahh… Quickly, quickly…"
It was the Redolent Inn's keeper. The fat keeper knew he was about to die as he felt the sky falling on him; his entire being was chilled to the core. After this incident, the Redolent Inn was basically doomed.
When Yun Yang had killed the third prince's subordinates, it was a hassle, but at least there was an explanation behind it. Observers like the keeper would only have to pay the penalty when such altercations and wrangling of influences happened.
However, what transpired afterward was beyond terrifying. It had instantly turned into a martial world assassination attempt.
Firstly, all of the third prince's guards and servants, a dozen of them, had all died here. While the fate of the third prince was still unknown, his odds of survival did not look good. Even if he was alive, he would be terribly hard-pressed to stay that way until the end of the whole fiasco.
Concurrently, King Xiaoyao's heir, Yun Yang, had been ambushed in a siege by numerous assassins. He was being attacked, at an absolute disadvantage and was in a critical situation as well!
One was the son of the emperor while the other was the son of King Xiaoyao.
No matter which one of these two people died here, the keeper and his entire family would have to follow his fate! The Redolent Inn… Compared to familial extermination, the tower was a mere insignificance! Nine familial extermination was never only an adjective!
'Oh my God… why is my life so horrible?'
The fat keeper was in a state of panic and so anxious that he felt like hanging himself. Yet, no matter how suicidal he felt, he dared not die; he had to face this mess and hope for the best!
In mid-air, a wash of purple light radiated. Yun Yang howled and spiraled swiftly like a top. His saber light lashed out in a spraying motion, following his movements. Where the light passed, two masked men in black who were coming in for a strike were minced into chopped meat. Despite his best attempts at evasion, however, countless beams were gathered towards where Yun Yang was about to land as well. The moment he set foot on the ground, he would have to endure the fatal attacks.
Against all expectations, Yun Yang did not land where the assassins had thought he would. His saber dove into the ground first before the rebounding force pushed his descending form upward. As his purple robes fluttered, it was like a purple thunderbolt had dashed over to the wall with blinding speed.
With a loud bang, a masked man dressed in black who was waiting on the wall bore the brunt of Yun Yang's powerful blow. The masked man's blood spurted before he reached the ground, the crimson liquid contained pieces of his shattered internal organs; it was apparent that he would not survive.
The powerful saber energy had crushed the person's internal organs the moment it had met the hapless man's body; even the opponent's spirit was utterly crushed! In order to obtain a safe landing point, Yun Yang had used a hundred and twenty percent of his force in this blow.
Even though the fatal trap had been overcome in a brilliant manner, complete with a counterattack, the solid collision caused Yun Yang to pause and stagger slightly.
Four rays of light shot towards Yun Yang's faltering form then, the threat to end him not at all weakening.
Yun Yang did a flip, already hopping off the wall while carrying Shangguan Lingxiu, and narrowly avoided the four beams of attacking rays.
Upon landing, Yun Yang panted harshly, his face drained of color. Large beads of sweat dotted his forehead, a sign that his state was unusually bad, far from his graceful and amazing performance earlier.
Yun Yang was unprepared for this batch of killers to be so strong. A few of them were even super ace cultivators of ninth heaven realm! Their leader had not shown himself yet, but Yun Yang assumed his ability to be even higher.
The killer whom he had killed from the momentum earlier, too, had eighth heaven pinnacle cultivation base!
Where did all these people come from?
Yun Yang truly did not expect this and was greatly surprised.
Since the Dictum of Death appeared, Yun Yang was already anticipating the gathering of pinnacle assassins in Tiantang City. In fact, Yun Yang possessed information and records of the martial artists who entered Tiantang City during this period of time. Even the area of their activities had been clearly documented with his men watching over them.
Yun Yang had prided himself as a local of Tiantang City, an unabashed pride that was not tempered by any form of hesitation.
However, he did not have a single iota of information regarding the many masked men in black who had suddenly emerged this time around. He was so surprised that it was not even merely an abrupt plot twist; he had been utterly caught off guard!
