681 Eliminate The Treacherous Ones! (2/2)

On one end of the street, two soldiers clad in military uniform, armored and helmeted, were stationed behind steamed buns piled up like a mountain. Beside them, there were about seven to eight more people who were selling cooked food, braised dishes, and wine.

Yun Yang, who was hovering in the air, appeared with the wind manifestation. He flicked his wrist quietly.

Three beams of golden rays shot out, threatening to tear the sky into a vacuum as they catapulted towards the three soldiers' throats. A brilliant radiance was left in their wake, the golden blades that cut through air actually leaving faint trails of smoke due to the intense friction.

The speed of the flying daggers was unimaginable. If it had been any ordinary Steel Cavalryman, it would have been impossible to escape such a fatal attack. Only death awaited them.

However, right as the three daggers arrived before the three targets, all three men tilted their heads almost in unison, causing the daggers to stab right into the wall behind them. The three daggers that were released with such an intention to kill had actually completely missed their targets.

At the same time that the three daggers had missed and embedded themselves into the wall, three silhouettes flocked over and began attacking the three targeted soldiers.

These were Yun Xiaoyao, Lao Mei, and Fang Mofei. Each one of them took on an opponent, their eyes burning with rage.

”Brazen and treacherous ones, return the lives of our soldiers!”

The three soldiers let out a peculiar laugh and sprung up simultaneously. ”Yutang officialscertainly live up to their names indeed; you actually see through our disguises!”

Before their words echoed in the air, they were already brandishing their hidden swords and sabers, fighting with Yun Xiaoyao and others above the street.

It was too bad the battle could not last long.

One of them had just deflected Fang Mofei's sword and was about to counter only to suddenly feel his legs tangled up. Upon lowering his head to check, there was nothing. Then, he dropped to the ground like a deflated sack.

Was someone pulling him underneath the ground? I don't recall seeing anything!

The person was absolutely frightened but he had no way to react, thus, he cried out in panic. Fang Mofei's sword waved, a head flew up into the sky. The victim's head and body were separated, dead.

On the other side, Yun Xiaoyao, who was the most skilled among the trio, performed his best once he entered the duel, cutting his target into eight pieces without hindrance. As for Lao Mei, who had the lowest cultivation base in the group but was still more capable than his target, he took the upper hand once the duel began; it was only a matter of time before his target succumbed.

In spite of this, any concern about time was invalid because a mysterious force had appeared and forcibly tangled itself onto the neck of Lao Mei's opponent. The man's eyes bulged and he stood on the spot, frozen. Lao Mei did not slow down, hacking his saber and severing the man into two halves.

The three targets had perished in a handful of techniques but everyone around the area was filled with lost and confused gazes. The targets were probably killed too quickly that no one understood why Yutang officials would do such cruel things to their own people.

A few Steel Cavalry generals stepped forward furiously and hollered, ”What is this for? Why are you killing them so mercilessly without asking anything, King Xiaoyao?”

When Yun Xiaoyao, Lao Mei, and Fang Mofei came upon the three corpses and removed their disguises to reveal the men's original appearance, all Steel Cavalrymen wore simultaneous expressions of shock after a shared glance.

They did not know any of these three men.

In fact, a lot had already been stated when these three men had launched their counterattack against Yun Xiaoyao, Lao Mei, and Fang Mofei first as well while wearing their various disguises. It was not that the Steel Cavalry did not see those, it was just that they had not thought of it in time and were even more reluctant to believe it.

”Do you understand now? These three men have masqueraded as your people and muddled in with ulterior motives,” Yun Xiaoyao explained in a gentle tone.
