The battle had only just begun when the burly man, a fourth-rank martial artist, felt an unprecedented pressure.
His opponent was a person in black robes, who, judging from his figure, appeared to be a woman.
However, the power she unleashed was far more overwhelming than anyone could have imagined.
It was like a towering mountain, pressing down on people and making it hard to breathe.
The burly man gritted his teeth, gripping the longsword tightly with both hands.
His knuckles turned white from the effort, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead as he tried to defend himself against the opponent's attack.
But just as the weapons of both sides were locked in a stalemate.
A crisp "89 clicks, 39 snaps" sound rang out.
The sound was particularly jarring on the quiet street.
The longsword in his hand broke in half as easily as a fragile straw.
"This...how is this possible? What kind of weapon is this?"
A look of horror instantly flashed across the burly man's face.
His eyes were wide open in disbelief, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.
His longsword, though not a divine weapon, had been forged and refined through countless trials.
Forged by experienced swordsmiths using the finest iron, through countless forging and quenching processes.
He followed him through countless battles and slew countless enemies.
How could he accept that it had been severed in such a short moment?
However, he didn't know that in this world,
Apart from those special weapons that are tainted with spiritual or evil energy.
How can weapons made of ordinary refined iron compete with those made from special materials and advanced technology from the Swallowed Star?
Before the burly man could recover from his shock and begin to consider retreating and creating distance,
Janet's longsword, imbued with immense force, slashed down fiercely towards him.
The long sword drew a black arc through the air.
It brought with it a sharp whistling sound, like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.
In that life-or-death moment, the burly man had no time to think; he could only mobilize all his internal energy.
Like an invisible armor, it tightly protects itself, ready to withstand this fatal blow.
His chest heaved violently as he mobilized every bit of power within his body, trying to make this protective energy even stronger.
With his strength as a fourth-rank martial artist and the resilient inner energy he had cultivated, ordinary swords and blades could not harm him in the slightest.
But what he was facing at this moment was no ordinary sword or blade.
"Shh!"
The longsword in Janet's hand, propelled by a terrifying force of thirty tons,
It transformed into a black lightning bolt, slashing towards the burly man's protective aura with unparalleled speed.
That seemingly indestructible protective aura crumbled before this fierce attack.
It was as fragile as paper, and was pierced in an instant.
The moment the protective energy shattered, it emitted a dull sound, as if a balloon had been punctured.
"Shh!"
The long sword slashed down, a spray of blood, and the burly man's right arm, which was holding the sword, was severed at the root and thrown high into the air.
Blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing onto the cold ground and instantly staining it red.
The severed arm traced an arc in the air.
With a "thud," it fell to the ground not far away, a shocking sight.
"Ah! My hand..."
The burly man let out a shrill scream, his whole body contorted in agony, and he staggered backward a few steps uncontrollably.
He endured the pain, channeled his inner energy, and tried to seal the bleeding meridians.
At this moment, the look in his eyes as he looked at Janet contained not only pain but also deep fear.
His body trembled, and he could barely stand. Only one thought remained in his mind: escape!
At that moment, fear consumed all his thoughts.
Screw assassination missions, screw high-ranking positions, riches, gold, and jewels.
These things are good, but what's the use if you don't live to enjoy them?
He was filled with remorse. Had he known that he would encounter such a terrifying opponent in this assassination attempt, he would never have come, even if he were offered a mountain of gold.
However, he had only retreated a few dozen meters when Janet caught up with him like a ghost.
Her figure flashed through the darkness, moving so fast that it was difficult to catch.
"What? So fast? How is that possible?"
The burly man saw Janet appear in front of him in an instant.
His eyes once again revealed immense fear and shock.
His breathing was rapid and heavy, and his heart was pounding wildly in his chest, as if it were about to burst out of his chest.
Is the person before me a human or a god or demon?
Not only was his strength astonishing, but his weapon was also extremely unique, and his speed was incredibly fast, which was completely beyond his comprehension.
The burly man had no idea just how powerful a sixth-tier apprentice and advanced warrior in the Devouring Stars was.
A movement speed of 180 meters per second and a punch with the force of 32 tons might be a bit of a stretch against a third-rank martial artist.
But against a fourth-rank martial artist, it's practically an overwhelming force!
As the blade drew ever closer to his neck, the burly man felt an overwhelming sense of regret and resentment.
He lamented in his heart:
Those corrupt officials have killed me! My life is over!
What kind of people have I offended?!
"Shh!"
A flash of cold light, and a head was severed from the body and fell to the ground.
It rolled several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop in a corner of the street.
Blood gushed out from his neck like a fountain, splattering the entire street, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.
A fourth-rank martial artist—fallen!
The scene before them filled the other assassins with terror and trepidation.
The assassins all wore expressions of disbelief and utter shock!
Their bodies trembled slightly.
They simply couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes.
A fourth-rank martial artist in his prime was killed in a single exchange?!
.......
Chapter 34 Jiang Luzhong's Shock! The Mastermind Behind It All!
The thick darkness of night was like a huge black curtain, pressing heavily on the entire street.
A chilling, ominous atmosphere permeated the streets and alleys.
The stench of blood permeated the air, as if foreshadowing the impending carnage.
A dignified fourth-rank martial artist was mercilessly killed in the blink of an eye by the mysterious guard of the other party in a single exchange.
Witnessing this horrifying scene,
The numerous assassins present felt a chill run from their feet to their heads, as if their blood had instantly frozen.
Their movements suddenly froze, and their hands, which had been gripping their weapons tightly, began to tremble involuntarily.
The assassins exchanged bewildered glances, their pale faces etched with terror and hesitation.
Their breathing was rapid and heavy, and in their eyes as they looked at each other, a strong sense of fear and retreat was uncontrollably revealed.
At this moment, in their chaotic minds, there was only one incredibly clear thought: escape!
They knew better than anyone else that today's assassination attempt had failed miserably.
Continuing on would only be a pointless and pointless death.
While there is still a glimmer of hope, the most urgent task is to escape.
However, just as the remaining assassins were hoping for a lucky break and preparing to scatter like birds and beasts...
Wei Changxuan's voice, chilling to the bone, was like a piercing, deadly blade in the cold night.
Suddenly, the words reached everyone's ears: "Kill them all!"
As soon as the brief but deadly command was given, Janet moved with lightning speed.
Her figure was like a black lightning bolt, flashing through the darkness with a sharp whistling sound.
next moment,
"Shh! Shh! Shh!"
Dense bursts of blade light shot out like a storm, fiercely sweeping towards the black-clad men who were fleeing for their lives.
The blade flashed with a chilling light, and wherever it went, the air seemed to be torn apart instantly, making a "sizzling" sound.
"Ah...ah...ah!"
Several piercing screams ripped through the silent night sky, sending chills down one's spine.
