Chapter 418 – I Won’t Kill You! (1/2)

Gui Yu and the middle aged man by his side had extremely gloomy expressions on their faces as they gazed at the 30 plus corpses of their fellow disciples lying on the ground.

Less than two breaths of time had pa.s.sed since those shrill cries had resounded from these disciples of the Ghost Sect and they found the bodies. However, even with such speed, they were still unable to notice who had killed these disciples, and it was even to the extent they hadn’t even noticed a shadow.

All of these disciples were experts at the peak of the King Realm, yet such experts didn’t even have the ability to resist before they’d been killed!

“It’s not just one enemy!” Gui Yu said in a low voice, “Gui Hao, you possess extensive knowledge. Have you noticed anything?”

The middle aged man called Gui Hao shook his head and said, “You’re right, it’s not just one enemy, but it’s impossible to know exactly how many of them there are. Because I’ve investigated the surroundings and there are no traces at all. There isn’t even a trace of aura. But there’s one thing I’m sure of, it was a.s.sa.s.sins who’d killed them, and it was a group of professional a.s.sa.s.sins!”

“It was the work of professional a.s.sa.s.sins indeed!” Gui Yu said, “Their methods were extremely sharp and direct. All of them were killed with a single slit at the neck, and these disciples were able to let out shrill cries was probably because they’d done so on purpose. They intend to throw us into disorder and create more opportunities for them to a.s.sa.s.sinate our forces!”

Gui Hai remained silent for a long time before he said, “Notify all the disciples to form groups of five and maintain a vigilant state at all times. Gui Yu, we’ll go investigate instead. Let me see exactly which power has made a move against out Ghost Sect!”

“Ah!!” Right at this moment, a shrill cry resounded from a disciple of the ghost sect who was around 100m to the right of them. Everyone in the surroundings was shocked and swiftly turned around to look towards the source of the sound. There was a headless disciple there, and blood was spraying like a fountain from his neck. However, the person who killed this disciple of the ghost sect was already gone….

All the disciples of the Ghost Sect felt terrified when they witnessed this scene!

A disciple had been killed right beneath their noses, yet they hadn’t even caught sight of the culprit’s shadow. So, how could they not be horrified?

Gui Yu and Gui Hao exchanged glances, and they saw a serious expression in each other’s eyes. An a.s.sa.s.sin was so close to them, yet they hadn’t noticed at all, and they still hadn’t noticed the a.s.sa.s.sin after a disciple on their side had been killed….

At this moment, both of them had become serious. Because the slightest carelessness might cause them to lose their lives here.

“10 in a group and every group must have two Spirit Realm experts!” Gui Hao spoke in a deep voice. “Every single group must not be more than 60m away from another. Everyone must maintain full vigilance. We’ll move backward swiftly and leave this forest as soon as possible!”

At this moment, Gui Hao was very regretful in his heart. He regretted setting up camp in this forest. The forest here was dense, so it was undoubtedly the best spot for a.s.sa.s.sins to carry out a.s.sa.s.sinations. After all, there were too many objects to be utilized as cover!

If it were on level ground, the a.s.sa.s.sins would absolutely not dare to act so fearlessly!

The other disciples of the Ghost Sect seemed to understand this principle as well, and they immediately moved backward.

On a thick tree, Ye Yun gazed at those disciples of the Ghost Sect who were retreating, and then a wisp of a complacent smile immediately arose on the corners of his mouth. He said, “Zhang Liu, it’s your time to s.h.i.+ne.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at the Specter Set he wore and said, “They really are amazing treasures. With this set in my possession, I can even a.s.sa.s.sinate peak Spirit Realm experts, right? Haha….” As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yun’s figure flashed like a shadow and vanished on the spot.

They could still kill these disciples of the Ghost Sect without the Specter Sect, but they could absolutely not accomplish it soundlessly and to the point their enemies couldn’t even catch their shadow!

The Specter Set was simply like wings on a tiger to them!

Right when Ye Yun had just left, Yang Ye, An Nanjing, and those two Exalt Realm a.s.sa.s.sins had appeared here. When he saw the members of the Ghost Sect retreat like a receding tide, he said, “Not bad, This leader of the Ghost Sect isn’t an idiot. Unfortunately, it’s too late to retreat now!”

“According to my knowledge, you seem to be capable of summoning flying Darkbeasts. Since it’s like that, then why don’t you summon them and return directly to the southern territory?” An Nanjing said, “Why take all the trouble to kill your way back!?”

Yang Ye grinned and said, “Don’t you think we can take it as a form of training and tempering? Moreover, those fellows who want to kill me aren’t aware that I actually really want to kill them as well. Since they’ve given me such an opportunity and dispatched their members to give their lives away to me, then why shouldn’t I kill them? This time, I intend to annihilate every single profounder that has come to kill me!”

When he spoke up to here, Yang Ye’s expression was icy cold.

An Nanjing shook her head and said, “Amongst the Sword Emperors in history, only you seem to be the most pitiable and have made enemies out of everyone! After all, every single Sword Emperor of the past has been someone that all the powers fight madly in order to recruit, yet you are one who is being madly pursued by all the powers with the intention to kill. Could it be that you were destined for loneliness and misfortune?”

The corners of Yang Ye’s mouth twitched. Since when has she known how to crack jokes? After all, she’d remained silent throughout their journey even if he’d tried to start a conversation, and she’d treated him like he didn’t exist.

Yang Ye disregarded An Nanjing’s insult, and he turned around to glance at the two black robed women while a wisp of helplessness flashed through his eyes. In the beginning, he was extremely happy when An Biru had sent them with him. After all, wouldn’t he be able to kill all his enemies all along the way when he had them by his side? However, reality wasn’t as he’d expected. Because they were merely responsible for him safety, and they completely disregarded everything else….
