Seeing that her hair was completely ineffective against the enemy, Number One simply retracted her hair and took out a powerful sword from her storage ring. It was obviously an Earth-step treasure.
Prince Namgong stomped on the ground and his body turned into a shadow as he rushed toward Number One. At the same time, he waved his Qilin Claw at her.
At the same time, Number One also used a sword art, shooting out a crescent-shaped sword energy toward the charging Prince Namgong.
Accompanied by a strange loud noise, the crescent-shaped sword energy was directly torn apart by the Qilin Claw. In an instant, it turned into a turbulent flow of sword energy that shot out to both sides.
Number One's pupils shrank, and her eyes instantly flashed with a trace of horror. At the moment her pupils shrank, Prince Namgong had already rushed in front of her, his hands crossing at her at the same time.
Crack!
Two blurry claw shadows flashed, and then the Earth-step treasure sword in Number One's hand broke into countless pieces from the middle.
Number One was directly sent flying. Her chest had been hit by the Qilin Claw just now, and it was cut into several pieces that hung on her body like a plate of freshly cooked pork with preserved vegetables.
This scene completely subverted everyone's worldview.
The legendary Earth-step treasure, under the Qilin Claw of Prince Namgong, was as vulnerable as tofu dregs. This was simply too shocking!
Number One dragged her seriously injured body and retreated again and again. Obviously, she knew that she was no match for Zhou Donghuang and wanted to escape.
But no matter how fast she was, how could she be faster than Prince Namgong in his Battle Qilin form?
Prince Namgong's figure flickered, and he once again caught up with the seriously injured Number One. Without giving her a chance to breathe, he directly stretched out his claw and went straight for her throat.
Number One's eyes were filled with horror. She desperately wanted to avoid this attack, but Prince Namgong's speed was too fast for her to dodge.
However, just as Prince Namgong's claw was about to pierce Number One's throat, a figure flashed in an instant, stretched out a strong and powerful hand, and grabbed Prince Namgong's Qilin Arm.
After being grabbed by this hand, Prince Namgong's movements instantly stopped. No matter how strong his Qilin Arm was, he could not move it at all.
What incredible speed!
What a powerful strength!
Prince Namgong was startled and hurriedly raised his head to look at the person who had suddenly appeared.
It was a middle-aged man dressed in red. His hair was disheveled, the corners of his mouth were black, and there was a vertical line of blood between his eyebrows. He gave off the feeling that he was possessed.
Unlike all the other killers in the past, although his forehead was branded with the Meteor Dart totem, there was no number, only the letter "S".
The aura that emanated from his body was so powerful that it was suffocating and despairing.
Even the aura on Number One's body was far inferior to the tip of his iceberg!
Level 9 Martial Lord!
This was an existence close to Wu Huang's!
"Branch … Branch Leader." Number One looked at the red-robed middle-aged man in astonishment. Clearly, he had not expected this important figure to personally take action.
"Enough, I've run out of patience." The middle-aged man in red said lightly. He then extended his other hand and lightly punched Prince Nangong's chest.
That seemingly gentle punch contained an unimaginably terrifying power.
Prince Namgong's body instantly disappeared and he flew backward at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. Even the sound of the sonic boom as he flew through the air was left far behind him.
However, the red-robed middle-aged man's speed was even faster than Prince Namgong's flying backward!
In the blink of an eye, Prince Namgong flew backward for 200 meters and was about to crash into the fortress's walls.
The red-robed middle-aged man's figure had already appeared at the bottom of the wall and was waiting for Prince Namgong to fly toward him.
When Prince Namgong flew in front of him at a speed that was several times faster than the speed of sound, he casually stretched out his hand and caught Prince Namgong's head. Then, he fiercely pressed Prince Namgong onto the ground.
Bang!
That seemingly casual press created a pit with a diameter of 10 meters in the ground. Meanwhile, Prince Namgong was crushed more than a meter deep into the ground.
This scene instantly shocked everyone present.
Everything had happened too quickly. It was so fast that no one could react in time and they stood rooted to the ground with their mouths agape.
Prince Namgong, who had almost killed Number One in two or three moves, had been defeated in the blink of an eye by an enemy that had suddenly appeared.
Prince Namgong, who had fused with the Qilin, was like a clay chicken in front of this enemy that had suddenly appeared. He could not withstand a single blow!
They simply could not accept this kind of thing that had shaken their worldview in such a short time.
The red-robed middle-aged man stepped on Prince Namgong with one foot and looked at him condescendingly. "Kid, if I wanted to kill you, I would only need to move a finger and I could easily crush you to death. It would be as easy as crushing a worm."
"However, you have the Qilin's bloodline in your body. It would be a pity to just kill you like this. Today, I will give you a chance."
"As long as you choose to join the Assassination Guild and work for me from now on, I will spare your life and make you the number one assassin of my branch."
Number One's face instantly turned pale when he heard the red-robed middle-aged man's words. If Prince Namgong really agreed, then the title of number one assassin would no longer belong to him.
Prince Namgong raised his head with difficulty and spat out a large amount of blue blood. He then spat out two words in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. "Dream on!"
The red-robed middle-aged man's face was expressionless as he said coldly, "In that case, I can only send you to hell."
"Hurry up and stop him! We can't let him kill Prince Namgong!" The Country Protector Lord immediately squeezed out all the remaining energy in the energy crystal and aimed his palm at the red-robed middle-aged man.
At the same time, Bai Hanbing, Shi Zhenxiang, and a few other marshals charged forward and used their own techniques to surround and attack the red-robed middle-aged man.
The red-robed middle-aged man did not even look at the encirclement of so many top powerhouses. He merely waved his hand casually and an earth-shattering Yuan Qi burst forth like a monstrous wave.
Before the people surrounding him could even get close to him, they were sent flying from a distance of more than ten meters and slammed into a tall wall.
This scene shocked everyone once again. The generals and deputy generals who had originally intended to charge forward froze on the spot as if they had been petrified. Even the cold sweat on their faces seeped into their eyes, but they did not dare to wipe it away.
The cultivation of these marshals was at least above that of the level-five King Wu. Coupled with Bai Hanbing and Shi Zhenxiang, this lineup was enough to flatten the entire South-East region.
However, such a powerful lineup was like porcelain in front of the red-robed middle-aged man. They could not withstand a single blow. He merely waved his hand casually, and they were all wiped out in an instant!
Meanwhile, the energy in the Country Protector Lord's palm was still brewing to its limit.
Boom!
