"The chest was the fatal wound."
"The force wasn't great, but it was very professional."
"Avoided the bones, followed the lines of the muscles and accurately pierced the heart."
In the forest of Xiafeng Mountain, Wei Qing who had stopped breathing was still hanging from a tree branch. There were many people standing in the surroundings but no one went to put him down. They allowed two people to observe and analyze his body.
"The fatal wound is the chest, but the crux is here." Wei Zhan pointed at Wei Qing's bound hands.
Wei Zhong looked closely and nodded. "The signs of using force to break free are not obvious. This is not normal."
It should have been easy for a xiuzhe with Double Break to break free from this kind of rope, but Wei Qing was a failure in this area. He didn't leave any signs of struggle on the rope.
The person that killed Wei Qing might be professional, but they were not scary. Someone that Wei Qing could not break free of was a more troublesome opponent.
The two killing experts of Xiabong Castellan had reached this conclusion within a minute of finding Wei Qing's body in the forest.
The targets were five people, and the five people had to be prioritized.
It wasn't prioritized by the city master's office, but to make it easier for them to kill all five people.
Then the two made a simple exchange and prepared to leave. A group of secret agents and city guards followed closely behind.
"Trash, don't follow." A cold voice floated over.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. They had heard that Wei Meng had been killed by these two because he had been called trash. Then what about them who had also been called trash?
Some soldiers couldn't even stand and fell to the ground. But Wei Zhan and Wei Zhong didn't even turn their heads and walked down the slope.
North exit.
The news of Wei Meng's death had naturally reached here. The unease that spread through the area could be imagined. Seeing Wei Zhan and Wei Meng return from the mountain, no one dared to avoid them. They forced themselves to greet them with the most attentive attitude.
Wei Zhan and Wei Meng walked directly in front of them, and looked at their bowing and bowing faces.
"Did they enter the city from here?" Wei Zhan suddenly asked.
"No, not a single person." Everyone rushed to answer.
"Alright, this is what you said. If you find that they entered from here again. They will all die. "
After that, the two of them left without looking back. They did not enter the city, but headed west along the north exit.
To the west was a small forest. After passing through it, they would soon encounter a mountain wall. There was no path here, but the two figures disappeared into the small forest, never to come out again.
After crossing Gorge Peak Mountain and entering Gorge Peak City, there was only one path, the North Exit. In many people's minds, that was the case.
However, only a small number of people knew that there was another secret path to Canyon Peak City.
This road was hidden between the cliffs and cliffs, so it could bypass the north exit and enter Canyon Peak City. The road was rugged and bumpy. In the eyes of ordinary people, it might not even be considered a road. Compared to the north exit, this road was not superior at all.
No one would think of developing such a path, except for a few people — those who needed to hide their tracks.
Undoubtedly, assassins often had to hide their tracks. Morin had learned from a certain senior that there was such a secret path in Canyon Peak City. Back then, he was still fleeing from the Star Luo Empire. It was through this path that he sneaked into Canyon Peak City.
Now, he was using this path again. The five of them bypassed the north exit and directly entered Canyon Peak City. However, just two hours after the five of them entered Canyon Peak City, another two people also took this path.
Wei Zhan and Wei Zhong.
Not many people knew about this path, but it was not a secret to Wei Zhong of Xiabong Castellan.
However, he did not announce it, nor did he send people to block off this path. He did not place any sentries to keep watch. He actually guarded this secret together with the others who knew about this path. Even in the City Lord's Mansion, this path was only known to a limited number of people.
And those who knew about the existence of this path naturally understood Wei Zhong's intentions.
After the first time he easily intercepted and killed two assassins who tried to sneak into Canyon Peak City on this path … They were even more certain of this.
If this path was left unguarded, it would be a dead end. Several people in the City Lord's Mansion even called this path the Dead End Path. Over the years, they had easily intercepted and killed those who tried to sneak into Canyon Peak City, or those who tried to escape from Canyon Peak City.
These people all had their own abilities. If they had not taken this path at the same time, it would have taken a lot of effort just to find their whereabouts.
Make all of this simple. This was the ingenious arrangement of City Lord Wei Zhong, who pretended not to know anything about this path.
Wei Zhan and Wei Zhong had killed their opponents on this path more than once. They were very familiar with this path that could not even be called a path. The traces they found along the way made the two even more certain that their target was entering Canyon Peak City through this path.
"They don't walk fast!" Wei Zhan picked up a handful of fresh soil from the ground and sniffed it before coming to this conclusion.
Wei Zhong raised his head and looked up the cliff.
"Is it enough?" Wei Zhong suddenly asked.
This was the second path from Canyon Peak City to Zhiling City that very few people knew about. However, only a few of them knew that there was a fork in the second path. This fork in the road was created by the few of them so that they could use this road to complete their mission more efficiently.
"It's enough." Wei Zhan understood Wei Zhong's meaning and responded.
"I'll go, you chase," Wei Zhong said.
Wei Zhan nodded.
Wei Zhong immediately changed his direction and rushed towards the fork that only a few of them knew about.
Wei Zhong's speed was slightly faster than Wei Zhan's, so he used this fork to intercept them.
Wei Zhong quickly reached the end of this fork. The environment in front of him was very familiar to him. He had ambushed here five times.
Five times was not a lot, but he had a deep impression of each of the five times.
Especially that time, just like today, Wei Zhan had chased him from behind and he had gone around the fork to intercept him here. The target was also an expert and had managed to shake off Wei Zhan. Then just as he was about to charge here full of anticipation, Wei Zhong had appeared.
Killed in one blow!
But the other's expression of shock and despair made Wei Zhong ponder it for a long time.
Today, he had the chance to see that expression of shock and despair on the faces of five people. He couldn't help but feel excited.
A familiar environment, a familiar hiding place. Wei Zhong concealed his body and then carefully withdrew his soul power.
He did not look, but used his ears to listen for any movement in the mountain crevice.
He did not wait long. The sound of footsteps quickly came.
One, two, three, four, five!
As expected.
The clear sound of five people's footsteps. Just like every target that passed through here, they all thought there would be no danger, they all thought there was no need to hide.
Wei Zhong had already prepared to attack. He had already planned the order of his attack.
Siffin!
This was his first target. This was something he and Wei Zhan had agreed on.
Chu Min's Three Spirits Connected was at the same level as them. They did not have complete confidence they could kill her in one blow.
They did not have any concrete information on Lu Ping's strength. They had to be more careful with such a target.
As for Siffin, he was only at the Single Spirit Connected, so his resistance was limited. But his ability "Broken Scar" could be used to support his comrades' attacks in team battles. It would be a fatal threat. Getting rid of him first was the best choice.
As for the order of attack after that, there was no fixed. The two of them would determine the order of attack based on the first opponent's reaction and weakness.
Wei Zhong recalled the information he had on Siffin to quickly confirm his target. At the same time, he was calculating the time. He was not just waiting for the right time to attack. He was also calculating the time it would take for Wei Zhan to catch up from behind.
After all, the other party had five people, and one of them was an expert at the Three Spirits Connected. This mission was not something either of them could complete alone. They needed to work together.
It was about time. Wei Zhong's grasp of time was abnormally accurate. He began to count down.
Five, four, three …
"Eh, there's someone in front." The countdown was suddenly interrupted. Wei Zhong suddenly heard someone speak.
Had his whereabouts been exposed?
