I won't let you leave here alive...
These words echoed in the minds of all the Dark Knights.
A group of killers who had committed countless murders, living on the edge of a knife every day, had long since lost all fear. However, upon hearing these words, their hearts still skipped a beat:
Jing Zhe is, after all, a sixth-level expert. Even if he takes the Half-Month Powder, it will take half a month for the effects to take hold. Killing them now would be as easy as turning his hand.
The middle-aged shopkeeper was also speechless with anger.
He was a little angry when Jing Zhe called them "suicide envoys" and originally wanted to say some harsh words, but before he could open his mouth, Jing Zhe said some harsh words instead.
He...is unaware of the current situation?
"President Jing, don't forget, you've been poisoned by Half-Moon Powder!"
"Hmm, and then what?"
"..."
Jing Zhe sneered: "Do you think that just because I've been poisoned by Half-Moon Powder, I have to listen to you and be at your beck and call? If that were the case, wouldn't it have been incredibly stupid of me to deliberately take Half-Moon Powder to lure you out?"
"..."
"Since you're here, then leave your lives behind!"
Jing Zhe's voice turned cold as he drew the Emperor's Sword.
He did carry grenades, but it would be a waste to use them against a few assassins who were only at the third or fourth level of cultivation.
Pei Yunxi felt a little nervous when she saw him draw his sword.
"Zhe'er, half-moon powder..."
Pei Yunxi knew the power of Half-Moon Powder and was worried that if Jing Zhe killed the other party directly, he would anger Prince Jin and then Prince Jin would not give them the antidote.
"Don't worry, Fourth Sister!"
Jing Zhe patted her hand and flew away.
"etc…"
The aura emanating from the sixth-level powerhouse instantly increased the pressure on the group of Night Envoys. The middle-aged shopkeeper dared not be careless and said, "President Jing, if you kill us, you won't want the antidote anymore?"
"It's like you're saying that if I don't kill you, Prince Jin will give me the antidote! There are so many disciples in Tongtian Palace, who has he ever given the antidote to? It's probably not that he didn't want to give it, but that he didn't have many antidotes on hand!"
The Twin Monsters of Tongtian only managed to take five antidotes in their entire lives; how many could the Prince of Jin possibly have?
"You can lie to me, but you even poisoned my woman! I can't tolerate that! Anyone who dares to touch my woman deserves to die!"
"..."
The middle-aged shopkeeper was completely bewildered. According to the information he had, Pei Yunxi was clearly the most outstanding disciple of Kunlun Mirror and Jing Zhe's fourth sister. How did she become his woman?
Pei Yunxi blushed deeply, her eyes, like pools of spring water, fixed on Jing Zhe, her lips pursed and she remained silent.
"Brother, don't give in to him!"
"Yeah, he killed so many of our brothers last time, we haven't gotten our revenge yet!"
"Brother, let's kill him together!"
"..."
The Dark Knights were, after all, a group of professional assassins. Although they had been afraid of Jing Zhe's sixth level of cultivation, they had long since become fed up with his repeated humiliations and coercion.
The middle-aged shopkeeper gritted his teeth, raised his head, and looked piercingly at her.
"President Jing, are you really planning to fight to the death?"
"The fish are dead," Jing Zhe sneered, "but the net won't break!"
...
Although these Dark Knights opposite him were of much lower cultivation level, they had experienced many assassinations and were quite adaptable.
"Set up the formation!"
At the middle-aged shopkeeper's command, more than twenty assassins from the Dark Night Guard surrounded Jing Zhe and Pei Yunxi.
The men in front of him all drew their broadswords and charged straight at Jing Zhe, but the assassins behind him reached into their robes and pulled out many gleaming hidden weapons!
"Whoosh!"
Next came the sound of sharp weapons slicing through the air, and dozens or even hundreds of hidden weapons came rushing towards the two of them!
Ultimately, the Night Elves are constantly on assassin missions, and the opponents they face are far more skilled than them. They have long since developed a series of techniques to "kill the strong with the weak."
For example, right now, they can use hidden weapons to clear the way. Even a master as strong as him would have to use his true energy to create a defensive barrier to block the hidden weapons. Then, others can take advantage of the moment when the master is too busy to pay attention to anything else and attack with their knives.
This tactic has proven effective time and again. Moreover, Jing Zhe has not yet reached the Grandmaster level, and the information they have obtained indicates that Pei Yunxi is only at the initial stage of the sixth level and cannot yet externalize her true energy.
As the middle-aged shopkeeper predicted, when their hidden weapons were launched in succession, Jing Zhe could only stand there and externalize his true energy to form a defensive barrier, while Pei Yunxi could not move for a short time, because if she moved, she would destroy the barrier.
"kill!"
The middle-aged shopkeeper had already led his men forward, swords raised, and were just one step away from striking Jing Zhe.
You're asking for it!
Then don't blame us!
Of course, if the King of Jin doesn't want people to die, it wouldn't be a problem if he maimed them, right?
Thinking this, the middle-aged shopkeeper had already arrived in front of Jing Zhe.
But then, a strange phenomenon occurred!
Jing Zhe, who was still forming an external true qi barrier, suddenly raised his right hand, which was holding the Emperor's Sword!
"Smack!"
The swords clashed with a crisp sound, and then the middle-aged shopkeeper's broadsword was knocked to the ground. His hands trembled uncontrollably as he stared at Jing Zhe in disbelief.
"How...is this possible?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper had carried out countless missions over the years and was quite knowledgeable, but he had never heard of a fierce person like this before, who could externalize true qi in one hand and wield a sword to kill people in the other!
"Fourth Sister, don't move, let me move, oops, I mean watch my performance!"
"..."
Perhaps worried that breaking the barrier would ruin Jing Zhe's plan, Pei Yunxi remained unmoved.
It has to be said that Jing Zhe's ability to multitask, similar to "fighting with both hands simultaneously," is truly impressive!
He had tasted the benefits of this when he first fought Lin Qingshan, and now it was the same. He used one hand to create a barrier and the other to return to normal, and then he swung his sword.
After the middle-aged shopkeeper's sword was cut down, he quickly took two steps back, while the other assassins took his place.
But all these assassins became cannon fodder. Due to the huge gap in cultivation level between Jing Zhe and these assassins, it was like a university student fighting an elementary school student, one elementary school student after another with a single sword strike.
Wherever they went, men and horses fell, and blood and flesh flew everywhere!
In a short span of time, the sword struck five times, killing five people in succession!
The assassins who were just about to charge forward all stopped!
This... rushing in would be suicide!
"Use hidden weapons! Use hidden weapons!"
Seeing his men retreating frantically, the middle-aged manager knew he couldn't hold out any longer. But he couldn't just order a complete retreat, or they would become easy targets for Jing Zhe!
The only option was to order the throwing of hidden weapons to continue, which would at least temporarily hold off Jing Zhe, allowing the others to retreat in an orderly manner!
"Boss... Boss!"
Just as he gave the order, the Dark Knights behind him pointed at him and stammered.
"..."
The middle-aged shopkeeper sensed the danger because he had his back to Jing Zhe. Based on his experience, he didn't even turn his head at this point; he simply took off running.
