First Court King Qinguang was baffled by Yun Yang's ability as well. He did not know more than the others. Hearing what King Chujiang had said to him, he was dumbfounded.
"Today's incident has indeed broadened my horizons once again. Tsk, tsk, tsk …"
Emperor Song and King Wuguan clicked their tongues and shook their heads as they walked into the room. More noises could be heard.
The other kings wore expressions of bewilderment as well, deep in thought. Thousands of thoughts were running rampant in their minds.
Based on the outcome alone, today's matter was just a very ordinary battle.
It was nothing more than one party being assassinated and waiting for reinforcements.
Under very, very difficult circumstances, one party had fought valiantly and finally managed to hold out until the arrival of reinforcements. Then, they had turned defeat into victory and killed the ambushing enemy, wiping them all out in one fell swoop. Was this not a very normal thing to do?
Although it was not common, it was still within reason. Moreover, it was commonly seen in novels. It was common and very common!
However, in the eyes of high-level cultivators like the Ten Court Yama Kings, the entire incident was simply unbelievable. There were too many suspicious points, too many incomprehensible things that went against common sense!
It was an assassin's habit to analyze a battle thoroughly, especially such a strange one. Everyone's eyes were on the King of Equality.
The King of Equality said faintly, "The ambushing party sent out a total of sixteen top-notch assassins. Even the weakest of these assassins is stronger than our Gold-ranked assassins. Their combined combat power is astonishing. Even if they were to target any one of us, it would be more than enough. This is also referring to us after our abilities had a breakthrough."
"However, even with such a lineup, the final result was still a great loss. We captured ten people on the scene and only one managed to escape."
"As for the five people who died before this, two of them were cleaved into halves. I believe everyone can see this. The next step in the process of death should be a single move. The attacker exerted his full strength and killed both of them in one blow. There were no tricks involved, it was a clean and clean kill."
Everyone nodded.
"There was another person who died because he was kicked. There was a footprint on his lower abdomen. Not only did the force of the kick enter from the front to the back, but it also destroyed all the meridians, bones, and organs in the lower abdomen. There was no one who was lucky enough to survive."
"The other person looks unharmed on the surface, but his internal organs are all shattered. The saber hilt in his hand is also filled with cracks. Yun Yang's forceful counterattack must have broken his weapon. Not only did he break his weapon, he even penetrated it and destroyed his internal organs. How could he not die?"
"As for the last person, he died from a saber wound as well. However, his fatal wound was a slit in the throat, but it was different from a normal slit in the throat. A normal slit in the throat would travel horizontally, but this person's slit in the throat traveled vertically from the bottom up. The edge of the saber probably quivered a little, causing the wound to appear strangely distorted. These signs prove that Yun Yang was attacked and injured when he killed this person, but he did not stop his killing because of his injury. Instead, he forced himself to stay and killed this person with a single slash."
Everyone knew that the King of Equality's analytical and reasoning ability was ridiculously strong, so they listened quietly without interjecting.
"After coming to the conclusion of the deceased's cause of death, I'm even more confused."
The King of Equality said, "From the traces we've observed along the way, Yun Yang's first move was a fatal one. He killed two people in one go. Although he succeeded, his mystical Qi was inevitably depleted, and it was even more difficult for him to move freely while carrying another person. Therefore, when he faced the third person, he must've used some trickery and kicked the other person to death. He even borrowed the force from the kick to move to the next location."
"Then, when he faced the fourth person, he mustered his mystical Qi to the limit again and killed the other person with one strike. This was the extreme exertion of his true skill, or else it wouldn't have been possible. However, everyone knows that Yun Yang's true cultivation base is only half a step to Dao realm. The one who was killed with one slash was a cultivator at the pinnacle of the eighth heaven realm. "
"The absolute gap between their abilities isn't that great. The only reason for such an outcome is that Yun Yang must've risked his life at that time."
"I believe that it's also because of the continuous mustering of his mystical Qi and the continuous depletion that when he killed the last assassin, he wasn't strong enough. Perhaps, the other party was about to surround him, so he killed his opponent quickly at the cost of a little injury. Does anyone have any objections to these deductions? "
"No objections, I agree completely."
The other nine Yama Kings nodded like chicks pecking at grains.
Each of the ten Court Yama Kings was an outstanding figure in the world of assassins. Naturally, they were familiar with the art of killing, so they had no objections and reached a consensus immediately!
"Based on the facts above, we can make a further deduction. Although Yun Yang killed the five of them swiftly, he paid a hefty price. Not only did he unleash his maximum ability twice, but he was also slightly injured as a result! Does anyone have any objections to this? "
"No, no, that's it!"
"It's also because of this reason that Yun Yang slowed down after killing the five people, causing him to be surrounded and unable to escape. Of course, another reason for the difficulty in escaping is Shangguan Lingxiu, but the main reason is that Yun Yang didn't have enough time to catch his breath. If Yun Yang was still in his peak condition after killing the five people, he could've broken out of the encirclement even if he had to bring Shangguan Lingxiu along. Does anyone have any objections to this?"
"No, no. It should be like this!"
"Let me ask one more thing. Everyone can raise any questions or objections to all the deductions above. Does anyone have any questions?" asked the King of Equality.
The other nine did not answer directly this time, but after a moment of contemplation, they signaled cautiously one after another. No one had any objections or questions.
The King of Equality heaved a long sigh. "I'm afraid you're taking it for granted that you don't have any questions or objections. I, on the other hand, have many questions that I don't understand. There are questions everywhere, big questions! Why don't you have any objections? "
The group was stunned when they heard him, asking in confusion, "What questions? What discoveries? "
The King of Equality said, "The first question is the battle traces left behind on the battlefield. That is … from the hotel to the many traces left behind along the way, we can easily confirm that there were many hidden weapon experts who worked together. Other than the hidden weapon experts, there were at least two or three who were proficient in Deicide Bow archery! Don't tell me you didn't discover this? "
The group nodded. "Yes, we did. So what?"
"Nothing much. When Yun Yang jumped out of the restaurant, he couldn't help but be ambushed by the Deicide bows. There were at least three archers firing together … but where did these hidden weapon experts, especially the three Deicide archers, go when he was besieged? If they had continued to attack, it should've affected the battle considerably! "the King of Equality asked quietly.
The group's eyes widened as they thought about it. "Tsk!"
"Have you thought of it? Is it shocking? Of the people who had attacked him earlier, five were dead, and the sixth had his hand severed. It looked like a rather difficult result, but the real mystery was yet to come. When the other party surrounded Yun Yang, it was advantageous to end the battle quickly. It should've been the time for those who were proficient in hidden weapons to show their prowess, but those hidden weapon experts and Deicide archers didn't even fire a single hidden weapon or shoot an arrow! Why is this so? Where did these hidden weapon experts go? "
