504 Reminder (1/2)

Shangguan Yun walked out of the temporary residence, expecting a deadly sword from the Dragon King.

When Shangguan Fei's face appeared in the night, he took it as the Dragon King in disguise. A thought flashed through his mind: ”This was, indeed, a brilliant idea.”

Shangguan Fei always wanted to return to Golden Roc Fort and had been in contact with his Third Brother. His appearance at this time could be very deceptive.

Shangguan Yun and two black-masked assassins attacked at the same time.

The disguising tactics of the Golden Roc Fort were unrivalled. The Dragon King was good at it, and so was Shangguan Yun as the Third Young Master of the Golden Roc Fort. This substitute of Shangguan Yun was not a random person, but a carefully selected one in Jade City who had a very similar appearance and temperament. No one could see the flaw if he got disguised after training a little.

The fake Shangguan Yun had even appeared in front of his uncle, Shangguan Jianyi. They had some small talk, and his uncle never doubted a thing.

The assassin did not suspect anything unusual, and pounced on the fake Shangguan Yun, falling right in between the two black-masked assassins.

As for the other kung fu masters, they were hidden further away. Their task was to encircle the Dragon King when he fled. Dozens more killers were scattered and hidden, trying to wipe out all the companions of the Dragon King.

The two black-masked assassins were Shangguan Yun's ace in the hole.

For a long time, the Supreme King had been reluctant to send out black-masked assassins for the assassination of the Dragon King. In his view, it was totally unnecessary to pay such a high price for dealing with a traitor of the Golden Roc Fort.

Previously, there was a female black-masked assassin named Guan Shang who was secretly used by Lady Meng and Shangguan Fei. Strictly speaking, she was only entry level.

Shangguan Fei was timid and rarely set foot in dangerous places, so it was really unnecessary to protect him with the strongest Shadow Guards.

But this time, Shangguan Yun paid extra attention to the Dragon King from the verry beginning and regarded him as a close opponent, so he insisted on getting two real black-masked assassins.

The Dragon King thought himself as a kung fu master because he had defeated and killed many Golden Roc killers. It was time for him to understand the top strength of the Golden Roc Fort.

Shangguan Yun was well prepared and spent a lot of time designing the trap. However, his excitement was fleeting. He immediately discovered something unusual with the assassin.

It was impossible for the Dragon King to reveal such a panicked expression, even when he was pretending. It looked like he was being forced to perform the task instead of doing it voluntarily.

Shangguan Yun blew a short whistle, and the two black-masked assassins immediately disappeared. Even the people with the sharpest eyes couldn't notice them, since they only showed up for a short moment in the night.

hangguan Yun took a few steps back. Even if the opponent was Shangguan Fei, he had to keep his guard up.

But the fake Shangguan Yun wasn't so calm. After a scream, he turned around and ran back to the residence.

The eldest brother and the second brother of the Xia family from the Qingcheng Sect acted much faster than all the others. But they were new at cooperating with Shangguan Yun and failed to see his hint, still pouncing on the assassin.

They didn't know Shangguan Fei. Besides Shangguan Yun had warned in advance that the Dragon King might pretend to be anyone.

” I ...” Shangguan Fei only had time to say this one word before the enemies approached and pointed at him with their fingers.

At this critical moment, Shangguan Fei had only one choice -- to fight back with a punch.

The two Xia brothers didn't even think about why the Dragon King, who was best at using sabers, would fight with his bare hands.

The eldest brother, Xia Yingxiong, decided to fight the enemy with fists. He did not believe that the Qingcheng Sect's kung fu was worse than that of a Western Region kung fu master.

Apparently, Xia Yingxiong had the upper hand in this fight. Shangguan Fei's moves were fast, but lacked variety, indicating that he was too panicked to remember his moves. Xia Yingxiong attacked last, but ended the fight first. While he punched back against Shangguan Fei's fist, his left hand was prepared to hit the acupoint of his opponent in the second move.

Everything happened so fast. Shangguan Yun figured that something had gone wrong and asked the black-masked assassins to step down. Before the fake Shangguan Yun could run away, the two Xia brothers arrived and took down the assassin with one move. Behind them, more masters were on guard and preparing to intercept the assassin if he escaped.

However, the kung fu level of the assassin surprised everyone. After only one move, the assassin's acupoint was hit by Xia Wenxiong, who attacked from behind. He couldn't fight back and fell down, seeming to be either dead or seriously injured.

Everyone was stunned, especially Xia Yingxiong, who was in front of the assassin. It seemed like he was unable to grasp what had happened. He thought for a moment and fell down, too.

Xia Wenxiong was smug, but then found that his eldest brother was behaving strangely. He jumped over the assassin to check on his brother. But Xia Yingxiong stood up and impatiently pushed his younger brother away. ”It's okay, ” he said, but he also wondered why he fell down with the weak strength of his opponent.

Xia Wenxiong had just lost his younger brother and didn't want to lose his eldest brother, too. He said with concern, ”Brother, your mouth is bleeding. ”

Xia Yingxiong wiped his mouth and saw the blood. He glared at his younger brother, blaming him for meddling and shaming him in public. But capturing the assassin alive was, indeed, very praiseworthy. ”Cloud King...” he began to say.

The Cloud King was not as happy as he was, though.

Shangguan Yun waved his hand and a guard went over to lift up the fallen assassin.

Shangguan Fei had been severely hurt from falling, with his nose and forehead bleeding. He drew a long face and said, ”Third Brother, I was forced and betrayed. ”

Maid Lotus promised to carry out the assassination mission with him. She also said that if Shangguan Yun didn't kill her the first time, he wouldn't kill her the second time. However, her only contribution was to shove him into the trap and leave him there, alone.
