Chapter 31 – Beheaded
Assassins!
They were a special trained deathsworn soldier, fielded by wealthy and influential families within the Great Yan Dynasty. Talented orphans were chosen and trained with cruel and brutal techniques, fed with all kinds of medicines, and taught a wild, crazy, and unique evil skill. All of these things had turned them into the ultimate killing machines.
Every single assassin sweared their loyalty to the chief of the family, and they would do anything the chief commanded them to do.
Right before these four new assassins jumped into the battlefield, they had swallowed the forbidden pill that gave them ten times their normal strength. Their bodies expanded in an instant. Like four dark clouds, they thrust themselves towards the three barbarian leaders while making ghostly howls.
Wu Qi kept staring at the battlefield from the slope. He could tell that, although these four assassins were pretty strong, if they didn’t risk their lives to attack those three barbarian leaders, who had lower tier magical weapons, they would just get themselves killed. Just like the four assassins who got themselves killed by Lu Chengfeng’s Grand White Gold Dagger Formation.
Their strength had increased by ten times, and their speed increased by, at least, three times.
The sudden appearance of these assassins had caught the three barbarian leaders off guard, and they only had the time to command the blade lights to cut off a leg of an assassin. Blood was splashing around, and with the loud shouting command of a barbarian leader, the blade light flew back and chased behind the four sprinting assassins. However, all the four assassins, including the one had his leg chopped off, were all sprinting forward crazily, without caring about the threat from the blade light.
Finally, the freezing breeze swept across the four assassins, making them tremble and slowing their speed down by a third. The ear-splitting ghostly howl hit them at the same time, and the assassin whose leg was chopped off and bleeding badly became the first target. In an instant, his head exploded. The freezing breeze had covered his entire body, sucking out all of his blood and making him turn into a mummy.
All nearby barbarians were cheering and yelling crazily, with excitement, they all began to turn around and look in the direction of their leaders.
The blade light struck again. The barbarian leader who was controlling the blade spit out a mouthful of blood onto the blade to ignite it, doubling its speed. It slashed down onto the body of another assassin at lightning speed. A huge amount of blood splashed everywhere, and the assassin’s body was cut in half, falling to the ground while screaming horribly.
Following the deaths of the two assassins, the other two assassins had finally gotten up to a very close distance from the barbarian leaders. Without saying anything, their bodies inflated at an incredible speed. The next second, both of them exploded into thousands of tiny chunks of meat and blood. This dark meat and blood splattered everywhere and reached at least thirty feet away, three barbarian leaders, who suffered from the intense explosion at such a close distance, died on the spot, having their bodies torn apart and being blasted everywhere.
The dark blood splashing around had hit all the barbarians and guards of the Yi Family. It was like an incredibly strong acid and immediately corroded their bodies, causing their muscles to melt and dropped off. These victims could only scream in pain, struggling and rolling on the ground. In just a few seconds, all of them had died.
Wu Qi, who witnessed this, had his face twist in disgust. He was wondering what kind of evil skill these assassins practiced in, killing others with suicide, in such evil and brutal way. Shaking his head, he brought his men and came down from the mountain quickly. Soon, they had arrived at the side of the road.
After the deaths of the four assassins, the strongest fighting force defending Yi Yan and his brothers was gone. Under the protection of dozens of elite guards, the Yi brothers kept yelling and screaming while retreating towards the rocks in the field. Those barbarians had started raging when they saw their leaders were killed in such a brutal way. With a very fast speed, they killed the rest of the people in the parade, howling angrily and chasing after Yi Yan and his men.
More than a thousand barbarians were attacking the few dozen elite guards. While these well-equipped guards were mid-level practitioners, they couldn’t resist this endless attack. In just thirty minutes, while they were still a hundred feet away from the rock field, the number of guards had been reduced by half.
When these barbarians started raging, they simply attacked without bothering for their own lives. They blocked the blades and pikes of those guards with their bodies, pulling them off from their rides by force. Once a guard was pulled down from his ride, dozens of barbarians would storm in and strike him with their heavy blades and axes, like and endless spattering of rain they killed the guards in the cruelest and most brutal ways.
Yi Yan was completely terrified, his pale white meat kept wobbling like there was no tomorrow. He made a sorrowful howl and said, “Oh my dear Heavens, what sin have I done? Why are these barbarians attacking us? Oh dear Heavens, dear Earth, please hurry and send some help!”
Suddenly, a barbarian threw out a hand axe. The rough hand axe was made of black iron, and the edge was not sharp at all. However, the barbarian who thrown it was quite strong, and the axe flew across the air with a loud swooshing sound, forcefully chopping into Yi Yan’s left shoulder.
An inhuman howl shook the land as Yi Yan’s left arm was chopped off his shoulder. His blood was splashing out, like a fountain. Yi Xing, Yi De, and Yi Cu shouted out in disbelief at the same time. Without hesitation, they immediately hid behind Yi Yan’s back. With Yi Yan’s mountain-like body, he was the best option to be a human shield. The trio had completely forgotten about their ‘brotherhood’ and ‘familial bonds’.
Yi Yan’s body trembled violently and he roared at those family guards crazily, “You useless fools! If you can’t kill all these barbarians, what is your value to my family? You all are just pieces of shit! When I return to my family, I’ll definitely sell all your wives and family members off to be mining slaves!”
Yi Yan’s curse had ignited the wild side of these guards. Tens of these guards leapt forward at the same time, unleashing their internal energy at full force. Three foot long, greenish sword light shoot out from the tips of their weapon, carrying with them an ear-splitting swooshing sound as they slashed toward those barbarians.
The greenish sword light was invincible, no matter whether it was a blade or a pike, or even armor, it was unable to defend from it. These guards swung their weapons and attacked any enemies in front of them, chopping off heads, arms, and even the legs of those barbarians, flooding the place with blood and human bodies.
With the energy of mid-level practitioners, the sword light could last for, at most, ten minutes. In just this short period of time, the guards were able to kill several hundred barbarians. Their internal energy was finally depleted, and they had been surrounded by barbarians, no doubt they were going to get killed soon.
“Use the ‘Bloody Battle Pill’, I will make sure your family members live decent lives!” The leader of the guards from the Yi Family shouted out and suddenly gave an order.
Tens of Yi Family guards, who had depleted their internal energy, shouted ‘understood’ at the same time, then they all took out a bloody red colored pill and put it into their mouths. In the next second, their bodies inflated like the four assassins, and a massive amount of energy was unleashed from within their bodies, like an explosion. With that, all of them raised their weapons up again, but now a six-foot long sword light shot out from the tip.
