Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 485 The assassination begins

Since the Xun family's patriarch's daughter married a member of the royal family, they have not faced any war for a long time, so the guards are not very vigilant. They are currently gathered in twos and threes, chatting and patrolling at the same time.

"Ada, let me tell you, the last time I went to Tosk Province on official business, the food at the newly opened Shuzhong Restaurant there was absolutely amazing, especially the spicy rabbit head. It was the first time I'd ever heard that you could eat the head of a soft-boned rabbit, and that it could taste so good."

"Is it really as delicious as you say?"

"Slurp. Would I lie to you? Look, my saliva is dripping. No, we can't talk about that spicy rabbit head anymore. I'll take you to try it next time."

"Alright, brother, but I wonder when we'll get another chance to go out on official business."

"Haha, young man, don't worry, it will happen."

Before the older Xun family disciple could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a cool sensation in his throat. He stopped speaking and quickly reached up to touch his neck, whereupon a warm liquid quickly covered his palm.

"Strange. Where did the blood come from?"

The middle-aged man held out his blood-covered hand to Ada's face. Just as he was about to ask what had happened, he looked up and saw a bloody gash on the man's neck. Blood began to gush out. Ada's eyes widened, and he covered his throat in disbelief.

"Big Brother."

As Ada collapsed to the ground lifeless, the middle-aged man finally realized what they were going through. He tried to shout for help to attract his companion's attention, but found that his voice could no longer be heard. Looking down, he saw that the ground was stained red with his own blood. It turned out that he had been slit in the throat even earlier than Ada.

"Damn it!"

The middle-aged Xun family disciple only had time to curse inwardly before he convulsed and collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness before he died.

The same thing kept happening in every corner of the Xun family. Until all the guards were killed, the Xun family members did not realize that their family was under attack.

Meanwhile, Demon Eagle quietly approached Xun Guang's door. Just as he was about to push the door open, the sound of an arrow piercing the air came from inside. A year of assassination experience made Demon Eagle subconsciously turn his head to the side. The next second, an arrow formed from soul power whizzed past his ear and pierced straight into the Xun family building in the distance.

"who are you?"

As the voice appeared, a middle-aged man with a dignified face slowly walked out of the room. He was none other than Xun Guang, the head of the Xun family, the target of Demon Eagle's mission.

The demonic eagle wiped the blood seeping from its earlobe and gave Xun Guang a bloodthirsty smile.

"Who are you? You take people's money to solve their problems, and your life and death are left to fate. I'm here to take your life."

As the Demon Eagle spoke, his smile became even more chilling, and a hint of surprise and doubt crept into Xun Guang's eyes.

"People from the Tang Clan? Were you sent by those nobles?"

"You've talked too much nonsense. Now I'll send you on your way."

Demon Eagle had no intention of arguing with Xun Guang any further. After all, the Xun family had the Oswell royal family as their backer, and the longer the time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them. Completing the mission with swift and decisive means and then getting away was the best option.

A series of eagle cries rang out from behind the demonic eagle, and seven soul rings—two yellow, three purple, and two black—rose one after another from the eagle's body. This made Xun Guang's expression even more solemn. His opponent was of the same level as him, and it was impossible to defeat him in a short time. Moreover, he could tell from the strong smell of blood coming from afar that the demonic eagle could not have come alone.

But it was clearly impossible to expect the head of the family to sit idly by and wait for his death. He quickly grasped a large golden bow in his hand, and his seven soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—were superior to those of the Demon Eagle. "Then let me see if your abilities match your arrogance. Fifth Soul Skill: Precision, Sixth Soul Skill: Demon-Sealing Arrow."

A golden light condensed on the longbow, and Xun Guang launched another attack before the demonic eagle could leap up. But how could he be hit again when he was on guard? Even though the arrows Xun Guang fired had a tracking function, he quickly used the Xun family buildings as cover to evade the arrows with ghostly speed.

"Hehehe, now it's my turn. Prepare to die, Xun Guang."

Fifth Soul Skill: Momentary Demonic Wind.

As countless purplish-black storms were unleashed by the Illusionary Demon Eagle, the entire space was covered by hurricanes. Xun Guang, a ranged attack Soul Master, had no choice but to use his only defensive Soul Skill, which enveloped him in a burst of golden light, firmly blocking the oncoming gale.

Despite the thwarted attack, Demon Eagle showed no sign of discouragement. He ran his hands over the soul tool, and countless iron projectiles flew rapidly toward Xun Guang, striking the golden soul power shield he had created with a crisp "ding-ling" sound.

Seeing the metal objects landing or flying away, Xun Guang felt a little more at ease. His defensive capabilities were not strong. If the opponent were a powerful Battle Soul Saint, they could easily break through his shield. However, the Demon Eagle in front of him was obviously not that type of Soul Master. Its terrifying speed was its advantage.

As the demonic eagle's attack ceased, Xun Guang quickly retracted his golden shield, raised his golden giant bow once more, aimed at the demonic eagle, and drew the bowstring.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Demon-Sealing Arrow Rain".

Xun Guang wanted to test whether a group attack soul skill would be effective, but he didn't see the strange smile on the Demon Eagle's face. As the soul power shield was removed, the Demon Eagle immediately used the Dragon Capture and Crane Control technique to once again trigger the hidden weapon that had fallen behind Xun Guang and shot it straight at his opponent.

Unaware of all this, Xun Guang was still unleashing his soul skill at the demonic eagle. When he felt waves of pain coming from his back, his expression suddenly changed, and his eyes turned ferocious as he gritted his teeth and looked at the demonic eagle.

"Despicable, resorting to all sorts of underhanded tactics."

"Hmph, don't worry about the methods, as long as they work, they're good methods."

After soaring through the sky and dodging the rain of arrows, the demonic eagle landed back on the ground and looked at Xun Guang with a mocking gaze. All those hidden weapons had been coated with a special kind of deadly poison, and Xun Guang was now in its grasp.

A rare glint of excitement appeared in the Demon Eagle's eyes. If he could devour Xun Guang with Tang San's help, his cultivation would definitely rise to another level.

"Hmph, you don't think you can defeat me with this, do you? You underestimate the Xun family of the Demon-Sealing Bow. Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Body."

"third."

Just as Xun Guang entered his Martial Soul True Form state and was about to launch a desperate attack, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his soul skill was interrupted.

Looking at the blood bubbling on the ground, Xun Guang's face turned extremely grim.

"It's poisonous?"

"Hmph, you yourself said my methods are despicable, so what's a little more poison?"

The demonic eagle's eyes were full of mockery as it slowly approached Xun Guang, step by step.

"Alright, after struggling for so long, it's time to hand over your life, so as not to attract the rescue of the Oswell royal family later."
