That afternoon.
Yun Xiaoyao led Yutang's experts and stood with their swords pressed against their swords as Tie Zheng gave his order. Three thousand and five hundred soldiers swarmed into the city's east to collect the corpses.
Now, Yutang's soldiers were much better at cleaning up the corpses than they had been previously.
There was no longer a need to search in all directions; they only had to concentrate on searching the central area.
The number of corpses was getting worse and worse, becoming fewer and fewer.
After all, from the start of this war until now, whether it was the assassin alliance that was trapped inside or the heroes of the pugilistic world outside, those that were still alive could be said to be the elites of the elites. Almost all of them were ruthless characters that would not die so easily.
Based on such a premise, the search for the corpses was much easier than before. The three thousand men who had entered to bury the corpses retreated in no time.
Yun Yang, who had turned into a cloud, observed each and every one of them carefully, but he still could not find any clues.
As dusk fell, the scent of blood, accompanied by the aroma of food and wine, filled the air in the east of the city once again.
Yun Yang's heart skipped a beat when the aroma wafted over. A gust of wind appeared among the clouds, blowing into the city without a trace.
What entered his sight was a street that was crowded with hundreds of people, selling food and wine with loud voices. However, their true identities were the elite Steel Cavalry under Tie Zheng's command, warriors who had been through hundreds of battles.
Yun Yang maintained his wind form, manifesting his deific consciousness on the spot to ensure that everyone was within the range of his deific consciousness.
Yun Yang's deific consciousness was like a soothing wind, flowing through everyone on the spot, examining them carefully from top to bottom. He examined their faces, their aura, the difference in the skin color of their wrists, arms, and fingers, the difference in the skin color of their necks, shoulders, and faces, their arms, calves, and the rest of their bodies … There was nothing odd or out of place.
Did their gazes and aura match? Were there any signs of surprise?
Yun Yang understood that the blind spots of his disguise were in these places.
Tie Zheng had sent a total of seven hundred men this time, which could be considered a large-scale market for cooks. Yun Yang had only detected less than two hundred people, but he had already reaped a great harvest.
The great harvest here did not refer to finding or locking on to Ouyang Xiaoshe's suspect, but to discovering seven impostors!
"It's really dark under the light. There are actually so many fish that have slipped through the net!"
Yun Yang almost wanted to slap himself.
With so many fish that slipped through the net, it meant that his thoughts were not thorough enough and his arrangements were not strict enough. Seven hundred people had entered, and there were still seven hundred of them. However, after checking less than two hundred people, there were already seven impostors!
Then, where did the original Steel Cavalry go?
This was something that was obvious without even asking!
The imposter could be a martial artist from the outer circle, an assassin from the Grand Alliance of Assassins, or even... Ouyang Xiaoshe!
If Yun Yang had not left a secret mark on the two dragonhide treasure maps with the Endless Divine Art and confirmed that the two maps were still within the assassins' encirclement, Hong Zhan and Hen Bieli might have been among these imposters!
If he hadn't had a flash of inspiration today, he might have made an even bigger mistake!
Thinking of this, Yun Yang became even more attentive as he continued to probe forward, combing through the seven hundred people present. Finally, he realized that there were thirty-five outsiders mixed in with the rest of them.
Yun Yang sucked in a deep breath.
Now, he could only hope that Ouyang Xiaoshe was among these thirty-five people!
This was because it was no longer just Ouyang Xiaoshe's problem. These thirty-five impostors must all die!
...
...
At the entrance of the main street, two soldiers dressed in military uniforms, helmets and armors. In front of them were piles of steamed buns that looked like a mountain.
Beside the two, there were about seven to eight people selling cooked food, braised food, and wine.
Yun Yang, who had been hiding in the air, appeared from the wind manifestation. At the critical moment, he flicked his wrist.
Three golden rays shot out like lightning towards the throats of the three soldiers as if they were tearing through the air.
Wherever the flying daggers passed, there was a dazzling brilliance. The golden blades pierced through the air, even leaving faint traces of green smoke due to the high-speed friction.
It was easy to imagine that the speed of these three flying daggers had reached a level that was unimaginable to ordinary people.
If it had been an ordinary soldier from the Steel Cavalry, it would have been impossible for him to evade these deadly flying daggers.
However, just as the three flying daggers were about to reach the three targets, the three men tilted their heads almost in unison. The flying daggers slammed into the wall behind them. The three daggers that were supposed to hit their targets had all missed, not a single one of them had succeeded.
Just as the three daggers had missed their target and nailed themselves into the wall, three silhouettes flew over like giant birds and continued to attack the three men.
The newcomers were Yun Xiaoyao, Lao Mei, and Fang Mofei!
Each of them took on one of them, their eyes filled with rage!
"Shameless thieves, return the lives of our soldiers!"
The three soldiers chortled in unison and sprung up at the same time. "Yutang officials, you live up to your reputation indeed. You can actually see through our disguises."
Before their words echoed in the air, the concealed sabers and swords had already been unsheathed, clashing with Yun Xiaoyao and the other two men in the air above the street.
It was a pity that the battle was still going on. One of them had just parried Fang Mofei's sword and was about to retaliate when he suddenly felt his feet being entangled by something. When he lowered his head to check, there was nothing there. Then, his body fell as if he could no longer bear the burden.
Was there someone pulling him from below?
But there was nothing there at all.
The man was horrified, but he had no way to react. He screamed in extreme panic. As Fang Mofei swung his sword, a head flew into the air with a loud thud. The corpse was split into two, dead.
On the other side, Yun Xiaoyao, who was the strongest among them, had used his ultimate technique right from the start, slicing his target into pieces without any resistance. As for Lao Mei, his cultivation base was the lowest among them, but he was still slightly higher than his target. He immediately gained the upper hand in the battle; it was only a matter of time before he took down his opponent.
However, this problem of time did not hold water, because an invisible and shadowless power strangely appeared and forcefully wrapped around the neck of Lao Mei's opponent. That person's eyeballs bulged out as he was restrained and froze on the spot. Lao Mei did not hesitate as he swung his saber and the man was immediately cut into two at the waist, sending his soul to the underworld.
The three targets had perished in the blink of an eye, but the surroundings were filled with bewildered gazes.
The targets had probably been dealt with too quickly that no one could understand why Yutang officials would actually lay such a cruel hand on their own people.
A few Steel Cavalry officers took a step forward with rage written all over their faces and asked, "Why? Why is King Xiaoyao so mercilessly trying to kill him without any reason? "
However, as Yun Xiaoyao, Lao Mei, and Fang Mofei cleaned up the corpses and removed their disguises to reveal their true faces, all the Steel Cavalry officers who were present looked at each other for a moment before they shuddered in unison.
No one knew these three men. In fact, just the fact that these three men had attacked Yun Xiaoyao and his team first, as well as the many disguises they had put on, had already explained too much. It was not that the Steel Cavalry had not seen them, it was just that they had not thought about it at first and did not want to believe it.
