"Why haven't you made a move yet? Are you afraid? Are you hesitant? Or... is this the only way?"
Shen Zhao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, giving a disdainful smile.
Their gazes toward Dong Chao and Xu Shuyu were filled with disdain and mockery.
"Come on, continue. How can you please me? What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"
Xu Shuyu pondered for a moment: "You want to have fun, right? Fine, then let's see how you want to have fun."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shuyu drew his sword and rushed onto the sword-testing platform.
"Great Snow Wind Chime Slash".
With a single strike, Xu Shuyu's aura and cultivation far surpassed those of the previous assassins and death squads.
With a seemingly simple slash, the horizontal blade actually contained boundless killing intent, instantly enveloping Shen Zhao in a shadow of blades.
"Not bad!"
Shen Zhao didn't hold back in his comment, then stomped his foot, sending the corpses on the ground flying into the void.
With a metallic clang as it shattered the body, Shen Zhao raised his sword once more.
"Sword Six - Absolute".
A single, breathtaking sword strike unleashed boundless sword intent.
Xu Shuyu's pupils contracted as he sensed a sharp killing intent and instinctively parried with his sword.
Bang!
puff--
A clang, a mouthful of blood.
Xu Shuyu immediately staggered back to the edge of the sword-testing platform, barely managing to stay upright so as not to fall off.
"kill!"
As Shen Zhao repelled the enemy with a single sword strike, the twelve top assassins who had been forbidden from attacking suddenly moved in unison.
The leader, with his iron claws, aimed straight for Shen Zhao's face.
The soft stool entangled around its side.
The two complement each other perfectly.
Unfortunately, they encountered Shen Zhao.
"Breaking through the air and vanishing."
He raised his sword again, unleashing a four-move combo, a dense and fluid killing move that was impossible to defend against, instantly breaking through the two men's killing attacks.
Just as the iron claws and soft whip were about to be covered by sword energy and perish, a burly figure stood out and proudly blocked their way.
Ding ding ding—
The sword energy struck him like metal falling on a pile of steel.
The burly man, with his indestructible body, withstood the dense sword energy without retreating an inch.
but……
"Mysterious and utterly true."
Another four consecutive moves, followed by a backhand sword strike.
Puff, puff—
Instantly, the two twin swordsmen who had ambushed him from behind were decapitated.
"Kenpachi: Gen".
At the same time, another sword strike swept across the room, its energy swirling and penetrating the burly man, directly attacking the iron claws and soft whip behind him.
"careful."
Ah~
Iron Claw reacted quickly, dodging to the side, but only leaving a bloody gash on its chest.
But the soft whip wasn't so lucky; its throat was severed on the spot, and it died tragically in the Northwest.
"ah?"
The burly man asked in confusion.
But in the instant he lost his focus, Shen Zhao was already close by.
The spirit swords in his hand fell upon his body like autumn leaves swept away by the wind.
Pointing, parrying, flicking, sweeping, stabbing, and chopping—these are the most basic moves, yet they deliver the heaviest blows.
The moment the sword hilt struck his chest, his indestructible body was revealed.
break!
"puff--"
The burly man coughed up a mouthful of blood and staggered back three steps to his feet.
He then knelt on the ground and died.
"What?"
Dong Chao and Xu Shuyu were shocked when they saw this scene.
What was thought to be a sure-fire victory turned into a joke in the face of Ren Piaomiao's swordsmanship.
"Your Highness, save me!"
Seeing his companions all die tragically, Iron Claw was terrified and dared not continue to entangle with Shen Zhao. He turned around and ran to Dong Chao, who was also pale-faced, for help.
"ah--"
But he had only taken two steps when Shen Zhao's spirit sword pierced through his chest from behind without mercy.
In an instant, the scene fell into a deathly silence.
With the main force killed in action, the remaining Karami posed no threat to Shen Zhao whatsoever.
Faced with overwhelming power, these so-called suicide squad members and assassins would not go to their deaths in vain.
"Now, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"
Shen Zhao slowly pulled out the spirit sword that had pierced the back of the iron claw, and carrying the blood-stained blade, walked step by step toward Xu Shuyu.
"What...what are you going to do?"
For the first time in her life, Xu Shuyu experienced the fear of death.
"What are you doing? I have always treated people with sincerity."
But I will never tolerate those who want to kill me.
Therefore, from the moment you decided to surround and kill me, a fight to the death was inevitable between us.
"I...I am the Prince of Bashu, young master. If you kill me, my father will never let you off..."
"Hmm, perhaps, but I think you won't live to see the moment your father takes my head."
"No, no..."
Xu Shuyu stumbled and fell off the sword-testing platform, then scrambled and crawled toward Dong Chao.
At that moment, the shadow of death loomed overhead, and fear instantly spread throughout his heart.
Dong Chao was also stunned. He had never expected Ren Piaomiao to be so strong.
Only Dong Wen, her breathing gradually becoming rapid, stared intently at Shen Zhao, unwilling to move an inch.
This is the man I've been looking for: dashing, capable, decisive, and ruthless.
"Stop, Mr. Ren, please have mercy!"
Just then, Yuan Suiyun, supported by Crown Prince Yuan Yue, returned and promptly stopped Shen Zhao.
Upon seeing this, Shen Zhao stopped, a glint of triumph in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, why are you stopping me?"
"Mr. Ren, would you be so kind as to give me some face and not make things difficult for the three of them?"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but if I don't kill them today, they will surely seek revenge in the future. I don't want to live in constant fear for the rest of my life."
