The remaining force raged, and everyone retreated.
The leader of the men in black had a complicated expression, a sinister glint in his eyes. "Find a chance to go around them and take them out."
Two short men in black quickly left the queue and disappeared in a flash.
When they reappeared, they were less than five meters away from Qiao Xiaoxue. Their hands flashed with a cold light as they hurled forward rapidly.
Countless hidden weapons attacked like locusts.
Qiao Xiaoxue was tied down by the leader of the men in black and had no time to spare, so she could only try to dodge to places with fewer hidden weapons.
Suddenly, a long sword appeared in front of him, deflecting the close-range hidden weapon.
"Leave it to me." Fang Xin's face was frosty, his longsword trembled, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura.
Sensing the threat, the two men in black turned around quickly out of fear.
Boom!
Pfft...
The man in black was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground, convulsing, bleeding from all seven orifices, his internal organs shattered.
Fear flashed in the eyes of the leader of the men in black. He immediately raised his power to the limit, spreading his evil aura even further and suppressing the protective energy.
Fang Xin's lips twitched. He activated the Tai Xuan Scripture with all his might, and countless tadpole-like characters lit up on his body, mysterious and unpredictable.
The black-clad assassins had never seen such bizarre moves before, and were extremely unsure of themselves, so they kept increasing their distance.
"You think you can just leave after messing with us?" Qiao Xiaoxue said coldly, holding a black longsword and blocking the doorway.
The men in black were caught in a dilemma, and they all looked toward their leader.
"Group drug use."
Without any hesitation, everyone swallowed countless pills, and a stronger, more evil aura soared into the sky.
Dark clouds filled the sky, and a menacing figure could be vaguely seen approaching the houses.
Fang Xin quickly grabbed Qiao Xiaoxue and retreated outside.
"It's too fast, we can't escape like this." Qiao Xiaoxue nodded emphatically, a resolute look in her eyes.
Fang Xin understood immediately and began to circulate the Tai Xuan Scripture.
At the same time, Qiao Xiaoxue was also rapidly circulating the Tai Xuan Scripture.
The tadpole-like patterns formed a large net, enveloping the two people in the center.
The golden light swirled continuously, expanding into the distance.
The ferocious figure was terrified of the tadpole-like characters and retreated slightly.
At the same time, the outermost assassins exchanged extremely complex glances, made rapid eye contact, and nodded emphatically.
The five men slashed their arms, spilling blood.
The blood arrow soared into the air, hovering near the ferocious figure.
Buzz!
As a stream of blood was absorbed, the hideous figure solidified considerably, exuding an aura of malevolence.
After absorbing three more, it was able to clearly see its appearance: a blue face with fangs, ferocious and terrifying.
"Let's see if you live or die now?" The leader of the men in black smirked with a bloodthirsty smile.
The tadpole-shaped shield was being eroded and compressed by the evil energy.
"Honey, what should we do?" Qiao Xiaoxue asked, somewhat panicked.
Fang Xin frowned slightly, his brain racing as he tried to think of a way to save himself.
Suddenly, the entire text of the Tai Xuan Jing appeared before my eyes.
"Wife, you reverse the Tai Xuan Scripture, I will activate it head-on."
"good."
Qiao Xiaoxue could already recite the Tai Xuan Scripture backwards fluently. With all her might, she reversed the flow, and her extremely yang internal energy quickly transformed into yin and soft energy.
At the same time, Fang Xin pushed his Extreme Yang Internal Force to its limit.
The Yin and Yang internal energies began to merge, forming a Tai Chi diagram on the body's surface, which rapidly integrated into the tadpole-like characters.
Buzz!
As the Tai Chi symbol rotates, evil spirits dare not approach again.
“What a sinister couple.” A resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the leader of the men in black as he pointed to his confidant. “A blood sacrifice.”
The confidant's lips twitched, and a jet-black dagger appeared in his hand, which he plunged into his own heart.
A stream of black blood merged into the evil god, causing its power to surge once more.
With a grabbing motion towards the void, he conjured several jet-black spears in his hand, thrusting them towards the Tai Chi shield.
With spears thrusting forward, they were unstoppable.
When it was within half a meter of the Tai Chi circle, the speed instantly decreased by half.
The Tai Chi symbol rotated faster and faster, creating tadpole-like patterns and producing a resounding bell sound that shook the soul.
The bell tolled melodiously, and one could hear the enemy's chest heaving violently, his face contorted in pain.
Pfft!
As the first man in black coughed up blood, the nearby enemies all coughed up blood as well, their morale plummeting.
The evil god also became illusory, his spear shattered, and his arm was covered with cracks.
"So strong." A resolute glint flashed in the black-clad leader's eyes. "Let's see how many hits you can withstand."
The dagger pierced his body, spitting out three large mouthfuls of blood essence into the void.
A ghostly wail rang out, and the crack on the evil god's arm rapidly healed before finally disappearing.
With both hands reaching out into the void, two jets of blood shot from the black-clad leader's wound, rapidly converging in his hands and transforming into two long spears of blood.
As soon as the spear took shape, the world suddenly turned dark, the dark clouds spun rapidly, thunder roared, and lightning flashed.
Crack!
A bolt of black lightning struck the Tai Chi shield.
Fang Xin and Qiao Xiaoxue exchanged a glance and said in unison, "It's not just you who has a special skill; we have one too."
The four hands clasp together, the yin and yang energies flow and merge into Tai Chi.
when!
The moment the earth-shattering bell rang, the black lightning shattered completely.
The evil god coughed up blood, and his body became ethereal once more.
The sky was gradually brightening.
"You still can't kill me like this?" The leader of the men in black staggered, using his long sword to brace himself against the ground to regain his balance. He looked helplessly in the direction of the family head. "I did my best."
His body leaned back and crashed heavily to the ground, whereupon he died.
With his death, the surviving men in black no longer wanted to stay and fight, and scattered.
Where are you going?
Fang Xin and Qiao Xiaoxue rushed out at the same time.
Both of them used the Ghostly Shadow Step, moving so fast that their faces were completely obscured.
Two blurry figures could be seen weaving through the enemy ranks.
A few seconds later, the two stopped.
Boom!
Boom, boom!
When the first man in black fell to the ground, the others followed suit, falling and losing their breath.
"Hurry, hurry!" came a shout from afar.
Immediately, the ground trembled.
"Someone's coming. I don't know if they're friend or foe." Fang Xin frowned slightly.
"Just in case, let's hide first," Qiao Xiaoxue said.
"Um!"
The two of them darted away and disappeared into the shadows.
Soon after, Liu Changlong came into view.
He quickly looked around, his face full of bitterness, and sighed, "Sigh, I rushed as fast as I could, but I still couldn't get on."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other experts from Chimelong Escort Agency arrived one after another.
"Chief镖师, what do we do now?" asked one of the镖师.
"What else can we do? We must search the surrounding area immediately and find our two benefactors." He paused for a few seconds, his face full of bitterness. "Whether we can get through this ordeal depends on fate. Alas."
Fang Xin had been observing him ever since he appeared, thinking to himself, "This person may not be very strong, but he is upright and honest. Such a person is worth befriending."
He turned to Qiao Xiaoxue and transmitted his voice: "Do you want to meet him?"
"I'll do whatever my husband tells me to do," Qiao Xiaoxue said with a sweet smile.
Fang Xin cast a grateful glance at Liu Changlong and transmitted his voice: "Chief镖头, this place is not safe to stay any longer. Let's leave first. Let's talk at Shili Pavilion."
"Yes, benefactor." Liu Changlong's heavy brows relaxed instantly as he looked at his subordinates. "Return to the escort agency immediately, without fail."
"Yes, sir!"
No sooner had the people from Chimelong Escort Agency left than the various powerful forces in Wuzhen arrived.
Immediately identify each of the men in black.
"None of them are familiar faces; we can't find out who they are at all." - The leader of a small sect.
The leader of the most powerful gang in Wuzhen, the Quicksand Gang, named Hu Erxie, glanced at the corpse of the man in black and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips. "Things are getting more and more complicated. There's no need for us to get involved. Let's go."
This group of people came quickly and left quickly.
Shortly after they left, members of the Wu family arrived.
"These people have no guts to kill people in Wuzhen. They're courting death!" The Wu family expert glared angrily.
"Carefully verify the identities of these people and see if we can find any clues." The Wu family expert pointed to his subordinates, "Drag the bodies away and verify them slowly."
"Yes, Elder."
They each dragged a corpse as they walked towards the Wu family's residence...
Half an hour later.
When Wu Bang saw the corpse of the assassin, his face turned grim, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
"After so many years of painstaking efforts, our core fighting force has been almost completely lost. If the ancestral land investigates, we will be held accountable." - Grand Elder.
“How could I not know?” Wu Bang shook his head helplessly, paused for a moment, and said, “Things have come to this point, we should think about how to explain this to our ancestral land!”
A sinister glint flashed in the Grand Elder's eyes, and a smile that grew wider at the corner of his mouth. "Instead of waiting for the ancestral land to come and punish us, we might as well drag them down with us."
Wu Bang was startled. "How do we stall?"
Pointing to the black-clad assassins, he said, "We'll work on the corpses."
"You mean, hunt down one or two disciples of Wu Family Fortress, and then deliberately leak the news to make the righteous sects target Wu Family Fortress?" His brows furrowed deeper and deeper. "But what good would that do us? Besides getting away with it, I really can't think of anything else."
“Patriarch, Wu Family Fortress is not as clean as you think.” The First Elder said confidently, “As long as we involve them, you will know the true strength and methods of Wu Family Fortress.”
“This matter is too big. I don’t trust anyone else. You should go there yourself.” Wu Bang’s expression was somewhat complicated as he stared at him.
"Alright, I'll head there immediately, lest something unexpected happens."
The Grand Elder rushed out of the secret chamber...
Shili Pavilion.
"My benefactor, Liu Changlong thanks you again." He cupped his hands and bowed slightly.
Fang Xin raised his hand. "It was nothing, no need to be so polite. The chief镖头 (chief镖头 is a person who is very eager to find me), surely it's not just to thank me?"
"I'm sorry to bother you, my benefactor, but Changlong Escort Agency has recently encountered a thorny issue." Liu Changlong's brows furrowed deeply. "A mysterious guest has asked us to escort a shipment to Wudang Mountain. However, after seeing the shipment, I really dare not transport it."
"What is it?" Fang Xin's curiosity was piqued.
“A soft sword.” Liu Changlong smiled bitterly and unfolded a painting. It depicted a soft sword with thirty-three sections and a hilt shaped like a snake’s head, which looked very strange.
Qiao Xiaoxue stared wide-eyed, frozen in place, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
"Aside from being a bit strange, I don't see anything special about it." Fang Xin was puzzled.
Suddenly, Qiao Xiaoxue exclaimed in surprise, "This sword is called the Spirit Serpent Soft Sword. It is among the top five weapons on the weapon ranking list. There are no more than three people in the world who can wield this sword."
Liu Changlong nodded.
“However, as far as I know, all three of them have already passed away. Who would ask you to escort such a divine weapon?” Qiao Xiaoxue’s brows furrowed even more.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have been in such a predicament." Liu Changlong's expression became even more bitter.
"Did you bring it with you?" Fang Xin stared at Liu Changlong. "I want to see the actual item before I can decide whether to help you or not."
"Such a valuable item, I dare not carry it." Liu Zhan cupped his hands and gestured for them to come. "If you two benefactors would like to see it, please come with me to the escort agency."
"OK!"
The people from Changlong Escort Agency were overjoyed and immediately led the way...
