People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

But he knew that as long as the darkness remained, even if they destroyed this place, they could still find other places and continue to cultivate assassins through methods such as brokers or forced abduction.

"I want to destroy this place, and it would be best to involve them in it. Zifang, Brother Cao, do you have any ideas?"

Zhang Liang hesitated and asked, "What if we startle the snake in the grass?"

Han Fei pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "No, with Ji Wuye in charge of the Xinzheng City Guard, accidents could easily happen."

Cao Ze said, "Brother Han's ultimate goal is to destroy Nightfall, isn't it?"

Han Fei nodded slightly: "That's right. The Nightfall regime has been entrenched in Korea for a long time. If it is not eliminated soon, Korea will surely perish."

Zi Nu looked at Cao Ze and smiled slightly, "I suppose you have a good idea, sir."

Cao Ze lowered his head and threw a stick into the campfire. "It's not a good idea. I just think that it's better to cut off one finger than to injure all ten. Even if Ji Wuye has the ability to find another place to train assassins, it will still take a year and a half."

He looked up at Han Fei and smiled, "Brother Han, are you confident that you can eliminate Nightfall within a year?"

Han Fei smiled wryly and said, "How difficult it is. However, even if we can't eliminate Nightfall, we can still prevent Nightfall from training any more assassins."

"In that case, we will wipe out this place tomorrow."

"it is good!"

……

Silent all night.

The next day, after daybreak, Zhang Liang rode away.

Zi Nu, skilled in tracking, led Cao Ze, Hong Lian, and Han Fei slowly to a small mountain village based on the traces left yesterday.

Unlike ordinary villagers in mountain villages, the villagers here all wear different bird-beak masks.

The village was quiet and eerily quiet, especially in the mountains.

"Their strength is weak, they are probably not core members, let's wait and see."

Cao Ze deduced from some details that most of the villagers here were ordinary people, far inferior to vultures.

Honglian gripped her longsword and said angrily, "What are we waiting for!"

Zi Nu observed the situation and said, "There are no teenagers here. This village should not be where they are hiding. When we first arrived, many people came out of the village. There must be something on the mountain behind the village."

Han Fei said, "These people are not the core of the Hundred Birds Assassins. Let's go around to the back of the mountain."

The four followed the villagers who were leaving the village and arrived at the back of the mountain.

The closer you get to the back of the mountain, the stronger the pungent smell of blood becomes.

As the group entered the back mountain, they saw a huge pool of blood lying quietly on the ground, surrounded by faintly visible white animal bones and slender human bones.

Zi Nu frowned and asked, "Just how many people were killed...?"

Han Fei's face turned pale, his stomach churned, and he couldn't help but lean against a tree and vomit.

The cultivated Red Lotus was slightly stronger than Han Fei, and apart from her pale complexion, she was otherwise unharmed.

Cao Ze had become somewhat accustomed to it. In the grassland royal court, he had seen countless corpses around him, and severed limbs and broken arms every day. Apart from losing his appetite, he was fine.

"Coo, coo, coo coo..."

Partridge?

Zi Nu suddenly shot out a silver needle, pinning the partridge that had been chirping in the tree to death.

"Gentlemen, we may have been exposed."

She drew her crimson soft sword. "Prepare for battle."

Not long after he finished speaking, the chirping of birds rose and fell in the woods, accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps.

Han Fei slapped his head in frustration, "All the birds, all the birds in this forest, are their spies."

Cao Ze shrugged: "I already said, once we find their hideout, we'll just storm in."

He learned about the Hundred Birds from Yingge. Apart from their four leaders, there were very few experts who could reach the second-rate level. There were no more than three here.

He could kill his way through all by himself.

A sharp, thunderous sound rang out from Cao Ze's hand, startling all the birds in the forest into flight.

"Who dares to trespass into the Blood Pool of Ghost Mountain!"

A dozen or so bird assassins, each wearing a mask with a bird beak of a different color, surrounded Cao Ze and his companions.

Han Fei quietly retreated behind Cao Ze, saying, "Brother Cao, I'm leaving it to you."

Cao Ze glanced at his brother-in-law with a hint of disdain.

He clearly has the ability to summon his Reverse Scale and wipe these guys out in a minute, but he chooses to hide. How cowardly.

However, he also knew that summoning such a powerful spirit without strong cultivation could easily damage one's vitality and lifespan.

In order for his brother-in-law to live two more years and survive until his wedding with Xiao Honglian, Cao Ze shouted softly, "Thunder Magic - Wandering Earthworm Thunder".

Dozens of worm-like lightning bolts shot swiftly toward the Hundred Bird Killer, like long snakes.

Some assassins who couldn't dodge in time died instantly, their bodies turning into charred remains.

The assassin, who had barely escaped, saw the horrific state of his companion and the tree that had been snapped in two by the worm-like lightning bolt, and decisively said, "This guy's tough. Call for backup!"

"boom!"

The fireball exploded in the air.

Cao Ze smiled faintly. It's good to leave one alive. After killing the small ones, the big ones will come. He can keep killing the small monsters and save himself the trouble of searching for them one by one.

The assassin who fired the signal flare quickly retreated a few steps, jumped onto a tree branch, gripped his short sword, and glared at Cao Ze menacingly, saying, "Kid! You're dead!"

Cao Ze extended his halberd finger and pointed it at the assassin.

The lightning bolt struck the assassin's head in a flash, sending him to meet his maker.

Zi Nu and Hong Lian both stared at Cao Ze in shock. They knew Cao Ze was strong, but this was too much!

Han Fei chuckled. Ever since he acquired the broken sword, his spiritual senses had become much sharper, and he naturally sensed that Cao Ze was very strong; otherwise, he wouldn't have come over rashly.

Cao Ze looked at the blood pool and hesitated, then asked, "Have you noticed any changes in this blood pool?"

Just now, one of his worm-like lightning strikes was dodged by the assassin and landed in the pool of blood, where it was immediately swallowed up.

Zi Nu crossed her arms and blinked her purple eyes slightly as she said, "The pungent smell of blood has faded a bit."

Honglian said crisply, "Thunder has purifying power, and it's obvious that the blood pool has been purified to some extent."

Cao Ze seemed to be deep in thought, but he had a vague feeling that this pool of blood was unusual.

In other words, why would Nightfall go to all that trouble to create a pool of blood?

Just for intimidation?

Or are you worried that the Marquis in Blood Robe won't have enough to drink?

Chapter 275 Little sister, do you want to live a good life?

"Who are you people! Why have you come to Ghost Mountain!"

A leader of the Hundred Birds Assassins, wearing an eagle-beak mask, stepped forward and looked at the young man before him with apprehension.

The one who killed more than a dozen people with one move was definitely stronger than him, and was very likely a master like the leader!

Cao Ze withdrew his eyes from the blood pool and glanced at the Hundred Birds Assassins scattered around, numbering at least fifty.

"Is everyone here?"

The leader's face was grim. So what if he was stronger than the leader of the Black Raven? This was the headquarters of the Hundred Birds!

"Let's do it!"

"Boom-"

Dozens of bird assassins raised their crossbows and fired at Cao Ze and his men.

The sounds of vibrating mechanisms, along with the whistling of arrows piercing the air, arrived simultaneously.

Zi Nu gave a soft shout, and the crimson soft sword in her hand, which stretched out like a python, circled around everyone, blocking the incoming arrows.

Cao Ze used the sound to pinpoint the location and fired more than a dozen worm-shaped lightning bolts in the dimly lit forest.

Each of the worm-like lightning bolts would kill one of the Hundred Birds Killer.

Honglian gripped her longsword and delivered the final blow to Zinu from behind.

Han Fei was chased around like a chicken and a dog by a hundred-bird assassin, yelling for Cao Ze to save him.

Whenever the Hundred Birds Assassin was about to strike Han Fei with a swift blade, a Wandering Earthworm Thunder would always help Han Fei escape the calamity.

The brother-in-law is truly patient, cunning, and unafraid of death... Seeing that Han Fei would never summon the Reverse Scale, Cao Ze simply decided not to let any more fish slip through the net.

"Thunder Magic - Thunder Transformation Technique".

Cao Ze was surrounded by crackling electric arcs, sparks flying as he swiftly traversed the forest, finding the hidden Hundred Birds Killer and delivering a fatal blow.

The remaining dozens of bird killers were terrified.

"This beast is ferocious, attack together!"

The leader roared and thrust his short sword at Cao Ze.

Cao Ze retaliated with a lightning strike aimed at his head, sending him to meet the King of Hell.

Although the power of the Wandering Earthworm Thunder is not strong, it is almost a sure kill against these small fry who have not even reached the second-rate level.

The death of their leader did not deter the group of bird assassins; on the contrary, it fueled their savage nature.

Cao Ze simply smiled faintly.

If they were in an open area, dozens of fearless elite soldiers, fully armed and in formation, could pose a threat to him.

Unfortunately, they were in the forest, and these assassins were of average skill and did not understand military formations, so they posed almost no threat to him and were no match for him.

A moment later, the remaining seven or eight bird assassins scattered and fled.

Cao Ze twisted the assassin's weapon in his hand and obtained some information.

Honglian, slightly out of breath beside Cao Ze, said, "Let's go! We'll chase after them!"
