“There were blood and pieces of flesh flying across the teahouse, and hu down upon the floor There was one head that fell before rinned at me”

“None of the 20 killers were left alive”

“All 50 killers perished in the fight”

“A hundred killers…”

“Follow me,” a masked archer said The voice was evidently that of a wo on to unloaded bows and did not seem to pose any threat to hi onto it just in case

The three of them ran deep into the alley, made a few turns and came to a small yard They leapt over its walls, and there were three black capes ready for them to wear in a room As the two archers removed their masks, Gu Shenwei could see that they oe
