Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

Chapter 128 Shocking Ni? A Clay Chicken and a Clay Dog

Just as Cheng Jiao was preparing to offer his neck for execution, he suddenly noticed that the once ferocious assassins of the Luo Wang organization were all showing expressions of fear. What had they seen that made these ruthless and cold-blooded killers so terrified?

Do demons also experience fear?

However, this might be my chance. Cheng Xin was overjoyed; he saw a glimmer of hope. What the assassins of the Luo Wang organization feared was precisely his chance to live.

Realizing this, Cheng Jiao did not take the opportunity to escape. Instead, he followed the assassin's gaze and saw a man in black walking on water. In his hand, he held a dark gold longsword upside down, the tip of which pointed diagonally at the water's surface. Behind him, a crack appeared.

The water surface was actually split apart.

That sword—Cheng Pan didn't know what identity was hidden beneath the black-clad man's clothes, but he recognized that sword: the first of the Eight Swords of Yue, Yan Ri.

Upon confirming that the sword was indeed the Sun-Covering Sword, Cheng Pan was overjoyed. He knew he had a chance to survive.

The Luo Wang (a military organization) dispatched its strongest assassin, Yan Ri, to plot against the Wei Kingdom's elite troops, but they suffered a crushing defeat at Wei Family Village. Not only did they fail, but they also suffered heavy losses, including the death of Yan Ri himself, whose sword was also obtained by the enemy.

The Battle of Weijiazhuang can be considered the biggest defeat for Luo Wang in twenty years.

It was after Weijiazhuang that the name Butiange appeared in Qin Wangzheng's mouth. It was also at that time that Cheng Pan learned of Butiange's existence and that Butiange was specifically opposed to Luowang and Qin.

Although Cheng Jiao himself was a prince of Qin, he had now become a traitor and an enemy of King Zheng of Qin. The Butian Pavilion was also an enemy of Qin. Based on the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Cheng Jiao believed that he and the Butian Pavilion had a basis for cooperation.

Moreover, the Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion happened to appear at this time. He couldn't possibly be here for a picnic, could he?

Is that possible?

"Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion!" Li Wu exclaimed in shock. She was all too familiar with the figure coming from afar. Unlike other assassins who immediately noticed the Sun-Covering Sword, she was looking at that figure, the figure that had appeared countless times in her nightmares.

Thinking of how the seemingly godlike Yan Ri, whom she remembered as being incredibly powerful, was defeated by the newcomer's sword, and of the tragic deaths of Qian Sha and General Bi, Li Wu felt a chill run down her spine. She quietly retreated behind the assassins, her shoulders hunched, like a quail with its neck tucked in.

With her view blocked by several assassins, Li Wu finally felt a little safe.

Wait, did I forget something? Li Wu, who had regained some sense of security, suddenly remembered something.

I think I'm an undercover agent for the Butian Pavilion. Pavilion Master, don't make a move! I'm one of our own! Realizing this, Li Wu straightened up and looked at the assassins in front of her. Her eyes were filled with barely concealed malice. She clearly remembered how these people had mocked her just now.

It seems that the Pavilion Master is quite nice too. In that instant, she was filled with anxiety because of her undercover identity, fearing that one day her identity would be discovered. But now, Li Wu felt that being an undercover agent was not bad. At least for now, she didn't have to worry about being killed.

Didn't you see the assassins in front of her already trembling?

Although they didn't know how strong the newcomer's martial arts were, they knew how strong Yan Ri was. Yan Ri dominated the entire Luo Wang. While competition between assassins was not prohibited among Luo Wang's assassins, no one dared to challenge Yan Ri.

The fact that the Hidden Sun Sword was in the hands of the newcomer clearly indicated that the newcomer was stronger than the Hidden Sun Sword, while their own strength was far inferior to it. Given this disparity, they had no chance of surviving in the hands of the newcomer.

They regretted it, regretted acting rashly out of greed for credit. They should have waited until they met up with Lord Jingni before acting. Then, Lord Jingni would have faced the enemy head-on, while they could have provided support from the sidelines. But now—

The newcomer was Yang Che. With Jing Ni as his inside man, all of Luo Wang's plans were under his control, so he appeared at just the right time.

If they arrive too early, Cheng Pan won't be completely desperate yet, and the effect of subduing him will be greatly reduced. If they arrive too late, Cheng Pan will be dead, and Yang Che isn't here to collect Cheng Pan's corpse.

"The Luo Wang has ordered that anyone encountered by members of the Butian Pavilion must be killed." Although the Luo Wang assassins were afraid of the newcomers' strength, the Luo Wang had a clear order: anyone encountered by members of the Butian Pavilion must be killed without hesitation.

Now that they have encountered this situation, if they escape, going back will only lead to certain death. Rather than that, they might as well fight. If they can hold out until Lord Jingni arrives, then with everyone working together, they might have a chance.

Of course, more importantly, they knew very well that the attackers would not let them go.

As the attackers drew near, the assassins were on high alert, no longer caring about Cheng Jiao's head. The distance between them, which seemed long, was closed in an instant.

The moment the newcomer leaped onto the ship, the assassins from the Luo Wang organization made a ruthless move. They had always disliked each other due to their rivalry, but this time they chose to cooperate.

The moment the attackers leaped onto the boat, they had nothing to rely on, revealing an opening in their movements. In that instant, they seized the opportunity.

In an instant, sharp swords slashed towards the enemy, the swords working together to completely envelop the enemy in a net of swords.

However, despite being completely blocked from all possible escape routes by the sword net, the enemy suddenly rose into the air and flew out of their encirclement in an unbelievable way right before their eyes.

By the time they realized what had happened, the enemy was already standing on the deck.

Immediately, a sword strike was unleashed. The dark golden blade of the Sun-Covering Sword transformed into a blur, slashing towards a man. The man desperately tried to block, but the sword in his hand was shattered by the Sun-Covering Sword, and his body broke along with it.

Ruthless and ruthless, their swords are truly unstoppable for the assassins of the Luo Wang organization.

In the instant the battle began, an assassin was killed in a near-horrific manner, which made the remaining assassins of the Luo Wang even more terrified. Fortunately, the power of the sword made them realize that the Hidden Sun Sword was not an easy opponent, so they fought back and were able to barely manage to cope.

This discovery invigorated the assassins of the Net of Shadows; perhaps, there was an opportunity.

A clever assassin further harassed them with words, saying, "Don't be too arrogant. Lady Jingni will be here soon. When she joins forces with us, even though you are strong, you may not be able to escape unscathed, let alone save someone."

"Seems like a problem." Yang Che dodged an attack and responded calmly. He was also waiting for Jing Ni to arrive; if he was going to put on an act, he had to go all the way.

"But so what? We'll just kill you all before Jing Ni arrives."

"That's right, so what if Jing Ni comes? In front of the Pavilion Master, Jing Ni is nothing but a chicken and a dog." Cheng Jiao, feeling invigorated, dodged while also offering his support.

However, the next moment Cheng Jiao felt a cold gaze fall on him, and the owner of the gaze was the person who came to save him.

This puzzled him greatly.
