Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 343 Leave no trace behind
Huang Sixi himself also carried a glass poison bead.

But it was raining heavily and the poisonous smoke could not spread outdoors at all.

Huang Sixi asked Kankan whether there was anything special about the poison pill in her palm.

Kankan shrugged her shoulders slightly and said, "These poison pills can only be used indoors, but there are several Buddhist temples on the top of the mountain. Most of those beasts are taking shelter from the rain in the temples. As long as you can break open the door of the temple, the poison pills will be useful!"

Huang Sixi waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go up the mountain!"

The shield soldiers who had previously intercepted Huang Sixi had already retreated to the Buddhist temple, but the archers were still guarding in the temple courtyard, shooting arrows from a high position across the courtyard wall.

When Huang Sixi rushed to more than ten feet away from the temple gate, the rain of arrows became extremely dense.

He swung his sword and knife together, forming a net with his energetic energy, and slashed forward, cutting down more than 90% of the incoming arrows, but there were still a few arrows that attacked Kankan.

He turned his head and saw Kankan waving her delicate hands and brandishing a white ribbon with strange and graceful movements, weaving an invisible, round white net full of rippling beauty outside her body, wrapping Kankan tightly inside.

Even if Xianxian charged into the battle alone, she could still resist all the rain of arrows.

Xianxian noticed Huang Sixi's concerned look, smiled softly, and said in a touching and gentle tone: "My dear, just go and kill the enemies. Xianxian can take care of herself."

Huang Sixi nodded at her, channeled his internal energy into his feet, and suddenly jumped high.

He performed the fifth move of "Wind God Kick" 'Wind Sweeping the Broken Building' in mid-air. The power of his legs created a swirling airflow. The rain of arrows in the sky were pulled by the airflow and instantly rolled back, flying back to the temple courtyard along with Huang Sixi's body.

When Huang Sixi flew over the temple, a rain of arrows flew down first, and hundreds of archers in the courtyard immediately fell to the ground in chaos.

After Huang Sixi landed, he combined his sword and blade into "Sha Po Lang" in an instant, emitting thousands of sharp edges, and began to cut and kill in the narrow courtyard. In the blink of an eye, the courtyard was filled with corpses.

Xianxian leaped to the gate of the courtyard, stared at Huang Sixi for a moment with her beautiful eyes, and suddenly shouted, "Please break open the gate first, my dear!"

She was going to poison.

When Huang Sixi heard her shout, he swung his Tanlang Sword sharply, pointed it at the palace gate, and used the "Twenty-one Sword Styles", spitting out sword energy.

The rain in the air was attracted by the sword energy and instantly absorbed by the sword energy, condensing into a ten-foot-long Pang Guangyu Sword, which pierced the palace door with a "whoosh!" sound.

At this time, all the archers in the courtyard had been killed by "Sha Po Lang". The sword and energy would hurt anyone who touched them, and kill anyone who hit them. Moreover, the energy covered an area of five or six feet in radius. The hundreds of people in the entire courtyard were like a group of dry grass, allowing Huang Sixi to harvest them at will.

All the archers lost the idea of besieging Huang Sixi and fled in all directions. More than ten people were crowded in front of the palace gate. They were hit by the rain swords and shattered with a "bang!", splashing a ball of blood.

The palace door was also pierced through by the sword and collapsed on the spot.

Seeing the might of the Rain Sword was so fierce and domineering, Qianqian was slightly lost in thought: "This young man's swordsmanship is the best in the world. How could such a master be unknown?"

Now that she was on the battlefield, Kankan had no time to think about it. As soon as the palace door was broken by the rain sword, she immediately snapped her fingers with both hands and shot poison pills into the palace.

The poison pill dissipated into billowing red smoke as soon as it entered the room. Unfortunately, there were only a group of wounded soldiers in the hall, so it did not cause much killing effect.

Kanan felt something was wrong, and she flashed across the courtyard and jumped onto the roof of the temple. She looked towards the Buddhist temples behind her and found that Zhu Can was fleeing rapidly towards the back of the mountain under the protection of hundreds of shield bearers.

Xianxian immediately flew in pursuit, and her sweet voice was relayed back to Huang Sixi: "These beasts have been frightened by my lord, and they are fleeing towards the city!"

The city was built on a mountain, with streets and houses in front of the mountain and steep rocks behind the mountain.

Since there were no buildings to block her view, Kanan could overlook the situation of all the soldiers from the top of the mountain.

There are no obstacles below, so these soldiers can quickly rush to the foot of the mountain.

Although there was a flood at the foot of the mountain, Zhu Can's army had already considered a retreat before entering the city. They built rafts at night to help them cross the water and escape.

Seeing this, Qianqian gathered her inner strength and shouted to the dense crowd below: "Don't leave, wait for me, wait for me quickly..."

While sending out the magic sound, she rolled up her sleeves to her elbows, revealing a pair of jade-like arms as white as snow. She waved her hands, creating layers of flickering arm shadows, just like the Thousand-Armed Guanyin performing the magic dance.

Her arms were as crystal clear as jade, and when she danced they glowed with an eerie bright color. The soldiers fleeing in the mountains would be obsessed with her as soon as they looked back, and would be dizzy and unable to take another step.

Only Zhu Can was not bewitched by her peerless grace.

Zhu Can's face was full of cruelty, and he fiercely ordered: "Everyone, cover your ears, don't listen to her shouting, don't look back at her, and hurry to the foot of the mountain..."

Before he could finish his words, a flying sword suddenly flew down from the top of the mountain and pierced his arm with a "poof!". The sword was infused with a strong force, which directly knocked him over.

Before he could even let out a scream, three more swords flew down at the same time, piercing his torso, shattering his bones and nailing him to the ground.

At this time, the shield guards around finally reacted and raised their shields in an attempt to resist the sword attack from the top of the mountain.

But the flying sword was activated by Huang Sixi, and it was only thirty feet high from the top of the mountain to the foot. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the top masters in the world who participated in the guarding could not escape Huang Sixi's attack from a high position.

Huang Sixi thrust his sword, and when the sword reached the guard's head, it first splashed out fine sword energy, which could often kill a shield-holder on the spot.

After he fired several sword strikes, the morale of these guards was crushed. They all moved away from Zhu Can, rushed to the foot of the mountain, jumped onto the raft, and fled in panic.

After the guards fled, the area around Zhu Can became empty. He was not killed. He raised his head with difficulty and found Huang Sixi and Kan Kan rushing down from the top of the mountain side by side.

Kanan danced gracefully and shouted in a tender voice, distracting the soldiers' minds, while Huang Sixi fired hidden weapons from the air. He used all the materials available, such as branches, stones and leaves at his feet, and all of them were fatal.

The two men cooperated in this way and soon hundreds of dead bodies of soldiers were lying on the back mountain from top to bottom.

When there were no more standing figures to be seen in the mountains, Huang Sixi and Kan Kan jumped down to Zhu Can's side together.

Zhu Can carefully identified the two men's faces, and they were both unfamiliar. He could not help but ask angrily: "I have no grudge against you, why do you want to slaughter my soldiers and destroy my foundation?"

Huang Sixi kicked Zhu Can, breaking his jaw and teeth. He could no longer make a clear sound and could only waile hesitantly.

Huang Sixi let him endure the pain and torture and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

Kanan followed with a smile, feeling that Huang Sixi was fierce and powerful, punished evil with moderation, and used his unparalleled martial power accurately and without error.

She felt that Huang Sixi had done a near-perfect job in this assassination attempt on Zhu Can's army, as most of Zhu Can's 2,000 soldiers were killed by Huang Sixi single-handedly.

The only flaw was that Huang Sixi did not set up defenses at the foot of the mountain. At present, hundreds of remaining soldiers fled from all over the mountain city and escaped into the flood with the help of various wooden tools.

Kanan accompanied Huang Sixi to stand on a huge rock at the foot of the mountain, looking at the hundreds of soldiers floating on the surging water, standing or lying on bamboo rafts, doors and windows, and wooden boards.

Seeing that these soldiers were scattered in the waters in all directions, it was impossible for Huang Sixi to annihilate them alone, so Xianxian sighed softly to Huang Sixi: "My lord, you have made them lose their minds and frightened them. Even if they escape, they will be in constant fear in the future. They will definitely hide in the mountains and forests and dare not show their heads again!"

Huang Sixi said, "They can't escape!"

A trace of surprise appeared on Xianxian's jade face: "My dear, you plan to cross the water to chase them? But the water surface is different from the land. If hundreds of them jump into the water and escape in all directions, how can you chase them alone?"

Without waiting for Huang Sixi to respond to her.

Suddenly, a scream was heard from afar.

Xianxian immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw a large raft filled with dozens of people. For some unknown reason, the raft suddenly disintegrated and all the people on it fell into the water.

No one knew what was hidden under the water, which caused the crowd to panic. They fell into the water one after another and could never float up again.

"Ah! There's a monster under the water!" "My leg was bitten!"

"This monster is extremely poisonous, run!"

There is flood all around, where should I escape to?

Long before climbing up the mountain city, Huang Sixi had anticipated the rout of Zhu Can's army, and he ambushed the little dragon in the water at the foot of the mountain in advance.

The moment those hundreds of defeated soldiers entered the water, the little dragon did not launch an attack, but followed them and drifted along the river. When the defeated soldiers were hundreds of feet away from the mountain city, the little dragon suddenly attacked.

It prioritizes attacking large rafts, using its dragon poison to corrode the bottom of the raft, causing it to disintegrate. It then waits for all the people on board to fall into the water before launching sneak attacks one by one.

It swims as fast as the wind underwater and no one can catch it.

If the fleeing soldiers were bitten by it, they would be poisoned and die instantly. Even if there were martial arts masters among the fleeing soldiers who could suppress the dragon poison with their inner strength, they would still be unable to stop the flood from drowning them in the end.

After a while, more than a dozen rafts on the water had all disintegrated, and the soldiers on the rafts were wandering around like ducks drowned.

Kanan looked at the soldiers who fell into the water, screaming and falling to the bottom, her face full of disbelief.

"What did you arrange underwater?"

"A friend of mine!"

"Friend? Is there a breath-holding expert hiding underwater?"

"It's not a human. I'll introduce it to you later!"

"Xianxian can't wait to meet this inhuman friend!"

Just now, Kanan felt that there were some flaws in this assassination attempt, but now she discovered that Huang Sixi had already taken all the loopholes into account.

Perhaps the only accident was herself. Huang Sixi did not expect her to be in the city, so he asked her to lure the soldiers and improve the efficiency of the assassination.

But even if she was not present today, the fate of Zhu Can's army had already been determined, and it would definitely end up being the complete annihilation of the army!
Huang Sixi can single-handedly deal with this brutal and evil army.

As all the soldiers on more than ten bamboo rafts sank to the bottom and died tragically, the fleeing soldiers floating on the water around them also collectively panicked.

They did not dare to retreat to the mountain city, nor did they dare to continue on their journey. It was like they were crying out to heaven and earth for help, but no one was able to help them.

Seeing the little dragon begin to corrode their floating tools underwater, they all cried out to Huang Sixi: "Sir, spare us, spare us!"

Seeing that Huang Sixi did not respond, they bravely swam back and prepared to kowtow and apologize to Huang Sixi in person.

Who would have known that the surviving people in the mountain city had already learned that Zhu Can's army had been massacred, and they left their hiding places and gathered behind Huang Sixi.

Most of them were the elderly, the weak, women and children, but at this moment they burst out with amazing strength, picked up stones on the ground, and smashed them hard at the fleeing soldiers.

These defeated soldiers had lost their means of ferrying and could no longer survive in the flood. They had to get to the shore even if their heads were broken and bleeding.

When the people saw someone coming ashore, they immediately picked up the weapons scattered on the ground and hacked the person into a bloody mess.

In the end, not a single defeated soldier landed on the ground. They all died in the water, without a single piece of armor left.

The little dragon also completed its mission, and with a "whoosh!", it flew onto Huang Sixi's shoulder.

Xianxian stretched out her eyes to take a look and couldn't help but open her pretty eyes wide: "Oh, this green snake looks very auspicious!"

Huang Sixi agreed with her assessment: "It is indeed auspicious!"

Kankan was shocked. The more she looked, the more she felt that the green snake was of a different species.

She subconsciously reached out and wanted to touch the little dragon, but was met with a hostile roar.

Xianxian then retracted her jade palm and smiled awkwardly: "It seems that it doesn't like me very much!"

Huang Sixi said: "If it liked everyone it saw, it wouldn't stay by my side."

Xianxian couldn't help but smile: "My dear, what you said makes a lot of sense."

Huang Sixi turned to look at the little dragon: "I have other friends staying in the nearby mountains. They have no food or clothing. I need to bring them into the city!"

After saying that, he signaled the little dragon to go and deliver the message to Xu Shiji.

The little dragon jumped back into the water and disappeared. If Kankan wanted to get close to the little dragon again, she could only wait for it to come back.

When the people saw that the thugs who had been ravaging the mountain city had all been killed, they all came forward to pay their respects to Huang Sixi and Kan Kan.

Huang Sixi took the opportunity to tell the people: "The villagers in the nearby villages will soon enter the city for refuge. You should go and clean up the bodies in the city first. The weather is hot now and the bodies cannot be buried. Find a place to burn them all!"

This is the people's hometown, and they will take the initiative to do it without Huang Sixi's instructions.

The people went about their business.

Huang Sixi and Kankan continued to stand on the shore at the foot of the mountain, waiting for Xu Shiji to arrive.

After waiting for half a day, when it was almost dark, we saw densely packed rafts and boats appearing on the surging water, with families and all of them fleeing people.

Seeing that there were thousands of victims, Qianqian fixed her beautiful eyes on Huang Sixi and said, "This flood is not small in scale. There are probably tens of thousands of villagers nearby who have been affected. If we bring them all into the city, it will be like being trapped on an isolated island. How will we get food? Have you considered this, my lord?"

"I plan to open up a nearby area with granaries and have the government transport grain here!"

"All the government offices within a hundred miles have been looted. I'm afraid we won't be able to find food! If we transport food from farther away, it will be of little use."

"Who robbed it?"

"My dear, have you heard of the four great bandits roaming around Jianghuai? Their lair is in the Bie Mountain in the north. They have visited all the government offices around them, and even the mansions of the gentry have been looted!"

"The Four Great Bandits?"

Huang Sixi heard Xu Shiji and Shen Luoyan mention the Four Great Bandits, a group of roving bandits with erratic whereabouts and never had a fixed place to live.

But Kankan seems to know more information about the four major bandits.

He asked, "I heard that the four bandits don't have a fixed lair. Are you sure they are living in another mountain?"

Wan Wan smiled sweetly and replied, "The four major bandits have gathered tens of thousands of vicious bandits. My dear, if they don't have a fixed base, how can they support their troops?"

Huang Sixi immediately grasped the key point: "So, they have food stored in their nest?"

Xianxian said confidently, "They have been plundering the land all year round, and the food and treasures they have looted are piled up like mountains. Not to mention 10,000 soldiers, they can even support an army of 100,000!"

A trace of sadness appeared on her beautiful brows again: "But the four bandit lairs are easy to defend but difficult to attack. Their troops are several times more than the beasts here today. It will be quite difficult to snatch food from them!"
