Before Zhang Xiaoshan stood twelve assassins dressed in blood-red clothes and wearing masks representing the twelve zodiac animals.
Besides Jin Jiuling, the Marquis of Jinyi, Mei Chaofeng, the Sichenke, and Cui Wenhao, the God of White Ze (sheep), there are also Heishan Jun (tiger), Babi Naga (snake), Zhuifeng (horse)... These are all top masters in the martial arts world.
At this moment, the twelve people looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with respectful expressions.
First, Zhang Xiaoshan held their lives in his hands.
Secondly, after truly witnessing the strength of the Zhang family, they realized that even top experts could be easily defeated by Zhang Xiaoshan.
Even when Gu Jianhun faced a Grandmaster alone, he remained unstoppable against seven peerless masters.
Zhang Xiaoshan's strength is by no means inferior to that of Gu Jianhun.
"This time the target is Cai Jing's residence, who was also the mastermind behind the previous murders and embezzlement committed by the Flying Guillotine."
Therefore, Lord Bai Ze, Lord Hei Shan, and Zhui Feng, you are responsible for dealing with the servants and guards. Remember, do not alert anyone!
"Yes, son!"
The three nodded, but they were also more curious. They had dealt with the guards and servants, but what about the other nine people?
“Well Moon and Eight-Armed Naga, go to the backyard and cleanse Cai Jing’s bloodline. Also, leave no one in the backyard except Cai Jing.”
"Yes, son!"
"Lord Jinyi, take the rest of the men and head straight here."
Suddenly, someone will meet you at the assassin base in the Cai residence, and everyone inside will be killed without mercy!
As for gold and silver jewelry? Just take them directly to Central Street, I'll get them for you there!
"Yes!"
Looking at the location Zhang Xiaoshan pointed to, which was a spacious garden in the Prime Minister's residence, Jin Jiuling immediately understood that it must be where Cai Jing trained his assassins.
It was incredibly easy for the seven top-tier experts to deal with a group of assassins who were only at the first-rate level.
"Don't be careless, there is a top-level expert inside - the Nine Nether God Lord."
In addition, there are twelve zodiac assassins, all of whom are top masters in the martial arts world, plus a group of death squad members. You should not be careless!
Go! "
At Zhang Xiaoshan's command, Jin Jiuling, the Marquis of Jinyi, led his men away with bows.
At the same time, Zhang Xiaoshan's warning filled everyone with horror.
First, they were shocked by the strength Cai Jing possessed. In addition to that group of mysterious assassins, he also had a top-notch expert and twelve elite fighters under his command.
Secondly, Zhang Xiaoshan had a thorough understanding of the Cai family's power.
It's only now that Zhang Xiaoshan is leaving; otherwise, they would never have known how powerful the Zhang family's 'intelligence system' was.
Especially Jin Jiuling, the Marquis of Jinyi, who knew the inside story, was very clear about Zhang Xiaoshan's purpose.
The Zhang family donated a million taels of gold; so that's how they did it.
The city of Bianjing was under strict curfew at night because Fang La's army was about to arrive, in order to prevent spies from taking the opportunity to disrupt public order. Even the Red Mansion was closed before nine o'clock.
More importantly, the number of visitors to Hongfu has decreased significantly, and it no longer enjoys its former glory.
".‖ Varied···"
puff!
A cold star shot out, and before a single word could be uttered, the gleaming dart was already embedded in the Night Watcher's throat.
Woof! Woof! Woof...
Immediately, a chorus of barks erupted, but Black Mountain Lord, as if prepared, waved his hand and threw out several roast chickens.
It should be noted that these hunting dogs were personally given to Cai Jing by the Zhang family.
Unfortunately, dogs recognize their masters, and since they had already recognized Cai Jing as their master, they naturally couldn't recognize the Zhang family as their master either.
The moment the roast chicken was thrown out, the barking of the dogs stopped, and the guard who got up to check in the middle of the night shook his head at the scene inside.
The moment he turned around, the guards' necks were snapped instantly, and even the vicious dog that had been feasting suddenly struggled and howled before collapsing and dying.
After all, a group of ordinary people facing a top expert is like facing a superman.
Although the Cai residence was an important place in the capital, the strongest guards in the residence were only third-rate experts.
As for Cai Jing's bodyguards, they were four top-notch fighters, but they were easily dealt with by Yin Zheng after nightfall.
Otherwise, if these four top experts were to fight outside, it would definitely alert other people.
···
Rumble rumble rumble...
On one side of the Cai residence, Jin Jiuling, who had just arrived at his destination, saw the entrance to the underground secret chamber slowly open.
The empty passageway looked more like a trap.
Under other circumstances, Jin Jiuling would certainly not joke about his own life.
But at this moment, Jin Jiuling led Mei Chaofeng, Yue Laosan and others directly into the room.
Moreover, upon seeing those assassins, he would immediately go up and silence them, cleanly and swiftly killing them with a single blow.
"Who?"
Just as the Nine Netherworld God was instructing the twelve zodiac assassins on their next task, he suddenly looked toward the entrance to the secret chamber.
The door to the secret room slowly opened, revealing that the group of assassins who had been training outside were now surrounded by a river of blood in the hall.
They were in the secret room, and had not heard a sound beforehand, nor had any assassins come to warn them.
It wasn't that the assassin was too weak, but rather that the opponent was too strong.
Especially the seven assassins, each wearing a mask representing one of the twelve zodiac animals, made the Nine Nether God Lord suddenly realize something.
"Are you the Zhang family's twelve assassins?"
At some point, legends of the Zhang family's twelve assassins began to circulate in the martial arts world, along with the incredibly mysterious Blood Thorn.
But no one had ever truly seen it before; they never expected to witness it today.
Chapter 373 The Nine Netherworld God Lord and the Brocade-Clad Marquis's Test
"The Marquis in Brocade Robes!"
"Golden Hairpin!"
"Poison-Eating God (Rat)!"
···
The seven assassins lined up one by one, and even the Nine Nether God-King couldn't help but look solemn.
Seven top-tier masters. Keep in mind that Cai Jing only had one top-tier master by his side, and that was only because he had voluntarily joined Cai Jing out of greed for wealth and glory.
Even so, Cai Jing has never had a second top-notch expert by his side all these years.
A top-tier master can dominate a region and become the leader of a major sect; why should they serve as someone else's lackey?
Cai Jing's reputation, in particular, is utterly terrible.
Therefore, the Nine Nether God Lord was even more aware of how terrifying the Zhang family, which could gather twelve top experts, was. He simply could not contend with them. Cai Jing and he had underestimated that 'servile' merchant.
"Your Excellency, the Zhang family is merely a merchant family; Prime Minister Cai is second only to the emperor, holding a position of immense power..."
"Too much nonsense, kill him!"
If it were really that simple, why would they be loyal to the Zhang family?
Most of them were lured and restricted by the Zhang family, and had no choice but to obey Zhang Xiaoshan. They would not be easily fooled by the other party.
Bang!
The Marquis of Jinyi moved with the speed of a nimble ape chasing the moon, and at the same time, he struck out with both palms, his palm force as powerful as a thunderbolt.
In an instant, the inner forces of two masters at the pinnacle of their cultivation clashed, their palm strikes surging and shaking the space. The entire secret chamber trembled as if the earth were shaking.
pedal!pedal!pedal!
The Marquis in Brocade Robes, who was facing the Nine Netherworld God Lord head-on, was immediately forced back three steps after exchanging palm strikes. It was obvious who was stronger and who was weaker in terms of skill.
After all, the Marquis of Jinyi was a highly skilled expert nurtured by the Zhang family. Among the lay disciples of the Southern Shaolin Temple, even though he was known as the number one expert in three hundred years, he was still too young and no match for the Nine Netherworld God in terms of internal strength.
Upon seeing this, the Nine Nether God immediately launched a powerful attack.
Nine Netherworld Divine Palm!
Suddenly, a palm strike erupted, spreading like black mist. The extremely cold energy was like a bone-deep infection, penetrating everywhere.
The moment the Nine Netherworld God-King appeared, a silver screen suddenly appeared in front of the Brocade-Clad Marquis.
In an instant, a dazzling silver light flashed, and sword energy intertwined like a net, or like mercury spilling onto the ground.
Under such terrifying killing intent, the Nine Nether God Lord clapped his hands repeatedly, attempting to break through the dense sword net with his palm force.
However, the Marquis of Jinyi's soft sword, though seemingly soft, was actually incredibly sharp.
A flash of silver light appeared, and the chilling sword light caused the Nine Nether God Lord to retreat instantly. At the same time, a sword strike as fast as lightning followed.
The two figures were locked in combat at the same time, causing the crowd below to stop watching.
kill!
The other six assassins will face off against the twelve zodiac assassins.
In a one-on-two situation, the top master may seem to be at a disadvantage, but in reality, after a few hundred moves, the top master can suppress the two top masters.
Moreover, they have five external reinforcements. Once these five experts arrive, the mere twelve top experts can completely suppress them.
"Iron Pen Chasing Souls!"
Suddenly, a cold star pierced through the space. The sheep assassin among the twelve assassins was caught off guard. Before he could even turn around and see his opponent clearly, he was struck on the Guanyuan acupoint on his lower back by a judge's pen!
From the sound of the sword cutting through the air to the strike hitting his pressure point, the Sheep Killer had no chance to dodge in the television cremation room.
puff!
With its meridians severed and internal organs damaged, the mutton-like killer naturally collapsed in a pool of blood.
At this moment, Black Mountain Lord and Wind Chaser, who had entered one after another, simultaneously pounced on several other top assassins. Seeing that there were three more top experts, even Nine Nether God Lord was both surprised and furious.
Clearly, the opponent's twelve assassins are top-tier experts; if they manage to pull out just two more, he won't be able to handle them. (bjca)
If they attack together...
escape!
The Nine Netherworld God immediately chose an escape route; if he didn't run, he would surely die.
boom!
Near the entrance to the secret chamber, the Nine Netherworld God Lord suddenly thrust out a palm, unleashing a terrifying force that even the Marquis in Brocade Robes had to hastily dodge.
Having repelled the brocade-clad marquis in front of him, the Nine Nether God Lord turned and fled outside.
Originally expecting that the Marquis of Jinyi would pursue him, the Nine Netherworld God-King turned around and saw that the Marquis of Jinyi had not made a move, but was merely looking in the direction he was fleeing with a cold smile.
Is there a trap?
Before the Nine Nether God could react, he suddenly felt his body freeze and he fell to the ground.
Sorrowfully, she looked in one direction, but found nothing there.
But he couldn't even see where the attack came from, or how fast it was launched and how strong its force was.
You should know that he is a master at the pinnacle of the Great Perfection realm.
He possesses extremely powerful internal energy, and his reflexes far exceed those of a normal person.
He could handle any attack with ease in the blink of an eye, but he couldn't see how the attacker made his move. How could the Nine Nether God not be horrified?
Even the Marquis of Jinyi, whose gaze had initially been tentative, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Just now, all he saw was a silver light entering the body of the Nine Nether God Lord; he knew nothing else.
The source of this silver light was not clearly seen at all.
But undoubtedly, this proves his guess—
