The middle-aged man was silent. The shock in his heart was no less than the shock he felt when he received this task.
A normal person would have been scared witless by such a night attack, not to mention that the attacker was Huang Quan. However, not only did the young man in front of him not panic in the slightest, he even quickly determined the opponent's intentions. Such intelligence was something that even he could not compare to.
"Waiting is not the same thing. If Acheron's men kill all the guards, then it will be a tough battle." The middle-aged man said, "It's better to strike first and gain the upper hand!"
"It's good to strike first and gain the upper hand, but the problem is that you don't know how many people they have. Aren't you looking for death if you rush in?" Ye Tianze poured a bucket of cold water on him, "Look at them, Acheron's men have already predicted their movements. So now we have to go against them and gain the upper hand!"
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the guards suffered heavy casualties. The ordinary servants were even worse off. They rushed into the darkness and disappeared without a trace.
Acheron's assassins were obviously reluctant to use the Poison Dragon Crossbow to deal with them.
The guards shrank their heads and did not dare to make the slightest move. The sound of fighting in the forest had also completely stopped.
In the camp, there was a strange silence except for the sound of the fire burning.
Acheron's assassins were hiding in the darkness. They were not in a hurry. When the fire burned down a few carriages, the guards' figures were exposed and a crossbow arrow flew through the air.
After a long time, more than half of the guards were killed. The remaining ones were extremely nervous. Some couldn't even stand the oppressive atmosphere and rushed out with their swords.
But it was useless. They would be shot to death immediately if they rushed out. Even if they didn't die, the poison on the arrows would make them bleed from their seven orifices.
Ye Tianze and the middle-aged man in the bamboo hat were silent. They were even indifferent to the casualties of the guards.
In their opinion, since they were in this line of work, they should be aware of this. After all, the money from the Jubao Hall wasn't for nothing.
An hour later, only a few of the dozen or so carriages were left. There were less than five guards left, and two of them were injured.
The bamboo hat middle-aged man couldn't help but say, "This is our last chance. Let's just kill our way out. I'll lead the way. Once I'm sure it's safe, you can follow me."
"No need." Ye Tianze shook his head. "They're about to make a move!"
"Hmm?" A strange expression appeared on the face of the middle-aged man.
In the darkness of the night, a sharp whistle suddenly rang out. This caused the originally oppressive atmosphere to become even more tense.
"Five in the southeast, six in the north, and three in the southwest!" Ye Tianze said, "Fourteen in one. Are you sure you can kill them all?"
The bamboo hat middle-aged man looked at him in surprise. He nodded and said, "If they don't run, I'll make sure they don't return."
"When they come, we'll first kill the five in the southeast, then the six in the north. The three in the southwest are the leaders!" Ye Tianze said, "We have to kill them in one hit!"
Although he didn't know how Ye Tianze figured it out, he believed in Ye Tianze's strategy. He held the hilt of his sword, but he didn't release any killing intent.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
The sound of crossbow arrows piercing through the air was followed by screams. Finally, the figures of Acheron's assassins appeared in the firelight.
Cold faces were hidden under the bronze Yonghe ghost masks. Their black robes were embroidered with spider lilies. They blended perfectly with the night.
A few of the guards had been waiting for this moment. They immediately rushed out. The sounds of fighting were endless, but they were quickly dealt with by Acheron's men.
The sound of footsteps approached their carriage. The bamboo hat middle-aged man didn't have the intention to make a move. Ye Tianze was also waiting at the side.
"Whoosh!"
When they were about ten feet away, the bamboo hat middle-aged man suddenly moved. With a flash of his sword, he dashed out like a ghost.
"Pfft pfft pfft …"
The bamboo hat middle-aged man left like the wind and came back even faster. However, there was an additional smell of blood on his body. Strangely, there wasn't a single drop of blood.
"The ones in the southeast have been dealt with!" The bamboo hat middle-aged man said calmly. It was as if the ones he just killed weren't Acheron's Bronze Assassins, but a few small fries.
"The six in the north are here!" Ye Tianze was extremely surprised. He knew that Acheron's Bronze Assassins were all Spirit Realm experts.
However, this bamboo hat middle-aged man had killed five Bronze Assassins in just a few breaths. It was obvious how terrifying his strength was.
The bamboo hat young man licked his lips. His eyes were bloodthirsty. The flash of his sword had obviously alerted Acheron's other assassins.
The two Acheron's assassins from the north slowed down. However, even though their footsteps were very soft, Ye Tianze could still hear them clearly.
First release of the BV version?
"Now!" Ye Tianze suddenly said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man immediately rushed out. With a flash of his sword, heads rolled on the ground.
When the bamboo hat middle-aged man came back, his body was stained with blood. He was panting. It was obvious that his spiritual power was weak. However, he still said stubbornly, "They're all dead. There are only three left!"
"Let's recover for a while." Ye Tianze said.
The bamboo hat middle-aged man immediately took out an elixir and swallowed it. Although he was the one who killed the assassins, he stopped looking down on Ye Tianze.
Ye Tianze's timing was very good. Although these Acheron's assassins were vigilant, when he rushed out, their defense was the weakest.
As a result, when he used his Saber Technique, it was as if he was chopping cabbages, chopping off heads one after another. These guys, on the other hand, had just killed an entire team of Treasure Trove House guards without any casualties.
If it was just one person, it would be impossible to kill eleven of them and escape unscathed.
"My name is Iron Hand." The bamboo hat middle-aged man hesitated and said.
"Ye." Ye Tianze replied.
After a brief introduction, the two finally got to know each other. Ye Tianze didn't care about his previous indifference. After all, a lion wouldn't care about the thoughts of a sheep.
"Should we deal with the remaining three at once?" Iron Arms inquired.
"The remaining three should be Silver Masked Assassins. Are you sure you can kill them all?" Ye Tianze asked.
"Silver Masked Assassins!" Iron Hand frowned, "As long as they're not Gold Masked Assassins, I can handle them!"
"Let's wait a little longer." Ye Tianze said, "If we don't have full confidence, it's better not to rush out. After all, their goal is to kill me. If they can't kill me, they won't return!"
Although Ye Tianze said so, what he was worried about was not these Silver Masked Assassins. With his current strength, he could deal with one Silver Masked Assassin.
He was worried that one of the remaining three would be a Gold Masked Assassin. However, he didn't dare to be sure, so he didn't tell Iron Hand.
It was also at this moment that a sudden change occurred. A terrifying force attacked, directly overturning their carriage.
The two of them immediately dodged. When they stabilized themselves, they saw that three Acheron's assassins had surrounded them.
