At this moment, the smoke and dust caused by the collapse had just dispersed.
It was still raining and snowing, and the courtyard of the inn was still very dark under the dim light that seeped out of the room.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Whoosh!
However, Ji Ye's eyes glowed brightly.
"However, Old Kid, I can show you how to use my new thing!"
Then, Ji Ye suddenly said to Zhou Botong with a smile.
Hum!
In the next moment, the Yellow Mallet on the ground suddenly rose into the air and flew out of the hole in the wall. It quickly grew bigger in the air and turned into a yellow light that shot out dozens of feet, directly smashing into the dark ground beside a carriage that was parked in the courtyard of the inn.
"Ah!"
It was clear that it had only smashed into the empty ground, but there was a scream in the darkness.
After the smash, a humanoid figure appeared beneath the Yellow Mallet, which had shrunk back to its original size.
"Enemy attack!"
Ji Ye didn't need to say anything. The scream was enough to wake up everybody in the inn.
Ding, ding, ding …
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …
Following that, the noises of fighting echoed in several rooms in the inn.
"Long'er!"
"Aunt Ying!"
Yang Guo and Zhou Botong's expressions changed at the same time, and they both left, not forgetting to show off their affection.
However, not everyone could react in time.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …
In the courtyard, the shadows behind the few servants of the Manor of Beasts who were close to the carriage suddenly moved and jumped at them.
Then, in just a split second, the shadows quickly left the servants.
However, the few servants who knew little about martial arts fell to the ground with blood oozing out of their heads.
As for the few black shadows, their figures moved and they directly ran towards the outside!
"Array, rise!"
But at this moment, a voice suddenly echoed.
Immediately after, a layer of white fog suddenly appeared around the inn!
The beta testers were all very vigilant. While Ji Ye was fusing the Yellow Mallet, Han Meimei didn't idle around either. She instructed Ah Bao to move some things in the inn and set up an array with the array flags she took out of her bag.
"It's the Yuan Shadow Assassin!"
"They're all above Extraordinary Rank-5, and they've practiced special techniques and techniques that allow them to blend into the shadows. They can completely eliminate the sound of their movements, and they can't be detected by life detectors.
"When I was in Xiangyang City, those 'Shadow Assassins' snuck into the city and assassinated quite a few officials and generals!
Ji Ye walked out of the room. Qin Yueyu, who was nocking her bow, looked serious.
She had been to Xiangyang City before and knew how dreadful the Shadow Assassins of Yuan were.
The main thing was that its abilities were very strange and special. It could move silently in the dark, and it was also very powerful.
If Ji Ye hadn't smashed the wall with the Yellow Mallet earlier and caused a huge commotion in the inn, the entire inn wouldn't have made such a huge noise.
It was very likely that these "Shadow Assassins" had already snuck deeper in without a sound.
With the strength of those Extraordinary Rank-5 Assassins, even though they weren't Commander-level, they were enough to pose a great threat to the team when they suddenly launched an assassination.
Perhaps Ji Ye, Yang Guo, Zhou Botong, and Qiu Qianren wouldn't be a threat at all.
However, Aunt Ying, Nie Xiaoqian, Wu Qiao, and Zhou Zhiruo, who were relatively weak, would definitely be injured if not killed.
As for An Quan, he wasn't even Extraordinary Rank-5.
He probably ended up like the servants of the Manor of Beasts!
"Those Shadow Assassins only take action when they want to assassinate important people. How did it appear here? "
"Just because we killed a bunch of Yuan soldiers who were transporting food?"
However, Qin Yueyu was rather confused.
The Twin Dragon Mount fort had expected that the Yuan people wouldn't send a powerful force to deal with them.
After all, this was the Song people's territory, and the Yuan people wouldn't mobilize an army to besiege them.
Also, it wasn't worth the effort to kill a hundred soldiers in such weather.
However, they didn't expect that the Yuan people would really attack, and that they would send out the most powerful assassination team!
"I'm afraid it's because we made a mistake during the day."
Ji Ye, however, thought of something.
Today, when they killed the Yuan soldiers who were collecting food, because they were infuriated by the Yuan people's brutality, neither Yang Guo, Ji Ye, nor Qiu Qianren showed much mercy in their fury.
Theoretically speaking, it wasn't a big deal.
However, after examining the corpses, the enemy could tell from the wounds that there were several top experts among the attackers.
Also, it was easy to infer that they were going to reinforce Xiangyang City.
As long as the decision-maker who received the information wasn't too stupid, he would find a way to stop them outside of Xiangyang City.
After all, an Extraordinary Rank-7 expert was too strong. When he carried out his full strength, he could be as useful as an army.
According to Qin Yueyu's intelligence, the Yuan decision-maker couldn't be stupid. Although the Yuan emperor had returned from Dali, the East King, who ranked first among the Yuan people, was in charge of Xiangyang City.
He was also the Yuan emperor's younger brother. It was said that he was both strong and smart.
And the Shadow Assassin was the trump card of this subordinate.
"Such a trump card? Are they trying to usurp the throne … "
The thought flashed in Ji Ye's mind, but he said it out loud.
"Everybody, gather in the lobby."
His voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone in the inn.
Voice Far Away was Reverend Yideng's special skill.
In the lobby of the inn, there were several Luminous Pearls (miniature solar lamps) that weren't affected by the wind and snow and could provide stable illumination.
After all, not everybody had his vision and could find the Shadow Assassins who had snuck in.
When the miniature solar lamps were placed at appropriate angles, they would form shadowless lamps that were similar to those in hospital operating rooms. They could even suppress the Shadow Assassins' core methods!
The Yuan people were founded on martial arts. Since they were matched by the Battlefield of Providence, they must have something in common with The Return of the Condor Heroes.
But they couldn't be exactly the same. At the very least, the abilities of the Shadow Assassins weren't completely within the scope of regular martial arts.
Also, the Shadow Assassins that appeared on the Battlefield of Providence were theoretically weakened Extraordinary ones.
According to Li Qing and Elder Meng's speculation, if they were Transcendent Shadow Assassins, they would probably be able to exchange their shadows in a battle. They could even kill their targets by killing their opponents' shadows. They were definitely very powerful.
"These Shadow Assassins should be a 'special unit', right?"
"If I kill them, I might be able to obtain the corresponding 'offerings' from them!"
