It doesn't matter what the lord is.

"What's wrong? Why are you calling your dad? Three wretched men bullying a little girl, I've learned something new."

King Qin Guang narrowed his eyes and thought silently in his heart. Before coming here, he had known the mayor of Yuxi City. He was a playboy, incompetent, a spendthrift, and had bad luck. These words were written openly in the secret guard report. So when the Lord of Lingwu ordered the selection of suitable people to monitor the mayor, King Qin Guang was actually quite surprised. In his opinion, such a waste was not worth Lingwu's efforts.

And now he more or less understood.

After hesitating, Lid laughed and said:

"One has reached the roof, and the other is hiding in the dark, preparing to use poison mist. Is this the pinnacle of your assassins?"

King Qin Guang's pupils shrank, and suddenly the tiles on the roof collapsed. King Chu Jiang suddenly appeared, slapped the young man lying on the beam, and shouted:

"Shuzi suffers death!"

A strong wind suddenly rose, and there seemed to be a shadow around the palm, as if Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had slapped down a heavy palm. King Qin Guang shouted:

"Don't be fooled!"

King Chujiang ignored King Qinguang's shouting. He felt that his palm would soon smash Lide's head.

But at that moment, his eyes blurred and he found that the beams were empty. Then he saw those cold eyes. There was no mercy, no sympathy, only pure killing intent, eyes that made people feel like they were falling into an icy cave.

Lid, who had stood up at some point, had already come forward and was within a short distance of King Chujiang. King Chujiang only felt his wrist being pinched in an instant, and his bones creaked. The shadow of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva shattered in an instant, and then the shadow flipped in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

A blood mist dispersed in the air.

Lide fell back on the roof, and just as he stood firm, King Qin Guang came up with a sword on his left. Lide seemed to have anticipated this, and raised his left hand in time, pushing King Qin Guang's wrist, shaking him off the sword. At the moment when the internal energy of both sides collided, King Qin Guang took a half step back, coughed, and blood oozed from his mouth.

Lid moved his left wrist and said with a smile:

"Of course, you are the real big brother. You broke my bones, you are quite capable."

King Qin Guang changed his hand to hold the sword and said nothing.

The next moment, a faint pink smoke gathered silently behind Lid, and the outline of a poisonous snake with a bloody mouth suddenly appeared, biting Lid's neck, but was slapped into a cloud of smoke by Lid's backhand. Then Lid frowned and looked at the palm of his right hand, which was already bloody and bubbling with blood, as if boiling.

Lid cursed:

"Is it stronger than sulfuric acid? Who can withstand it?"

The poisonous fog lost its shape, but did not disappear, and it came around again like a shadow.

Lid jumped off the beam, and the poisonous mist fell with him. King Chujiang had already come up to block the way. He crossed his hands and placed them on his chest. His rough face was full of hair and beard. His feet were firmly grasping the ground. The virtual image of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva appeared behind him again, this time in full view. The blue bricks on the ground could not withstand this force and exploded inch by inch. King Chujiang spread his hands apart, and the virtual image of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also opened his arms, with a fierce look in his eyes, like a mountain blocking the road.

“You bastard——!”

The poisonous fog behind is coming.

At that moment, Lid kicked King Chujiang in the stomach, causing him to vomit blood. He also kicked the virtual statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva behind him into pieces. Then he picked up the sturdy body of King Chujiang in front of him, grabbed his legs and made a big windmill, using his body to blow away the poisonous fog behind him.

When he let go, King Chujiang hit the wall, breaking through the thick wall, and the whole house collapsed.

Reed quickly ran towards Shiloh, picked her up, and rushed directly to the courtyard outside.

Outside the ruins, Reed put Shiloh down and continued to look at the three people in the three directions in front of him.

King Qin Guang stood on the wall like a sculpture. King Chu Jiang was covered in blood, even his beard and hair were covered with blood, and he looked at Li De with gnashing teeth. King Pingdeng held an empty bottle in his hand, and there was resentment in his beautiful eyes. The messenger named Shuang was surprisingly calm and stood quietly in the distance.

King Chu Jiang spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed:

"Fuck, I secretly thought to myself, Jiuchong, can't even beat a kid? What kind of monster is this."

King Qin Guang said coldly:

"That's normal. The secret arts are weaker than other martial arts. In a head-on confrontation, even if he is only at the middle level of the eighth level, you may not be able to defeat him. We are good at assassination, and this time he took the initiative, so it's not surprising that we can't win quickly."

He narrowed his eyes, looked at Lid, and asked:

"However, when you advance to the tenth level, there will be a strange phenomenon. In recent years, there are only a handful of people who have reached the tenth level, and Yunyang has no one. You are obviously not at the tenth level. But I am an assassin who has reached the ninth level. Logically, unless you are at the tenth level, I should be able to sense your level. But now I can't tell your level, why?"

Lid shook his head and said:

"Because you cook."

57. Make a deal

King Pingdeng glared at Shiloh who was hiding behind Lid and said loudly:

“Prince Qin Guang, if you want to do something, just form a formation! A three-man formation is not as good as a ten-man formation, but that young man is dragging a burden with him, so how strong can he be? He broke my dragon blood mist, and today I will use his blood to refine poison!”

King Chu Jiang held his stomach and said the same thing:

"King Qin Guang, it will be too late if you don't take action now!"

King Qin Guang narrowed his eyes, looked at Lid and Xi Luo for a while, nodded and said:

"Let's form a formation."

Even if he cultivated to the tenth level in a certain path, what would it matter? When the ten Yama Kings gathered together, even a master of the tenth level might not be able to be killed. Although there are only the King Qin Guang of the First Hall, the King Chu Jiang of the Second Hall, and the King Pingdeng of the Ninth Hall, and they can only form a three-person formation, it should be enough to deal with such a young boy.

King Qin Guang turned the sword in his hand upside down and inserted it into the soil. The three of them closed their eyes at the same time. When they opened their eyes again, each of them began to emit a strange black mist. The sky suddenly became pitch black. It was not because of dark clouds, but because the light of the moon and stars suddenly disappeared. In the darkness, Xi Luo tightly grasped the corner of Lid's clothes, thought about it, and quietly let go.

She didn't want to hold him back.

Unexpectedly, after she let go, Lid took her hand again, held it in his palm, and said with a smile:

"fine."

He thought for a moment and added:

"Ten people may not be able to defeat us, but three people can still give it a try."

The darkness devoured everything in the world, swallowing everything up like a flood. In the cold wind, Xi Luo could not see or hear anything. Everything around her was silent. She suddenly felt that her assassin's path was nothing more than that. The seven major perfections looked powerful, but they were just bluffing. In front of the absolute power of her teachers, everything seemed so ridiculous.

Sound, vision, breath, all are blocked. This is a true assassin.

Even Reed was looking around, trying to find some flaws.

It’s a pity that there is no flaw at all.

He was actually cheating just now. Lide didn't see the attack by the King of Chujiang at all, but guessed it. Because the King of Chujiang was moving closer to the window, he guessed that the King of Chujiang would go to the roof to launch a surprise attack. And the nails of the King of Pingdeng were dyed purple by poison, and Lide also guessed that she was using poison. Because he guessed correctly, the King of Chujiang thought he was exposed and had to launch an attack in a hurry. This turned the situation in Lide's favor. Fighting the assassin head-on was his favorite thing to do.

King Qin Guang also noticed this.

So this time, the three of them formed a formation, the radiance of the stars and the moon were all hidden, and it was a relatively open space, so there was no way to determine the specific location. After suffering a loss last time, no matter how Lid cheated, the three of them no longer responded. So Lid pulled Xi Luo, led her to squat quietly, and then said to Xi Luo:

"Cover your ears."

Shiloh covered his ears obediently.

Reed took a breath, raised his hand, and knocked on the ground three times as if knocking on a door.

When the third blow landed, the ground began to crack.

At first it was just a small crack, and then it suddenly extended into an earthquake-like tremor. The entire courtyard suddenly turned over, and the cracks even extended into the city. Several kilometers of bricks, stones and soil were all shaken into the air, like a series of fountains one after another.

Then, Lid whispered:

"From the moment we knew of your existence, it can no longer be considered hiding. The essence of the so-called secret passage is to hide behind the scenes, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, rather than rushing to cover up the truth when the situation becomes urgent. It's not that you don't understand... but you are too arrogant."

In the cracked soil, a round sword light suddenly cut through the dust, and the three assassins who formed a formation joined forces to kill.

In the pitch black, no one can see each other.

There were the sounds of swords piercing bodies and fists smashing bones.

The fight lasted only a moment, and Shilo couldn't count how many moves the four men had made because it happened so fast.

Afterwards, there was dead silence.

After a while, the light of the stars and the moon gradually appeared.

Half of Lid's face was covered in blood, and a dagger was nailed to his right shoulder, leaving a deep and long wound from his left shoulder to his right ribs. His left hand was hanging on the side of his body, and the bone of his wrist seemed to be broken. His right hand had been holding Shiloh's hand, and he did not let go at this time.

King Qin Guang, King Chu Jiang, and King Pingdeng were all injured.

King Chujiang was the most seriously injured and was half-kneeling on the ground. King Pingdeng was the least injured, but his face was black and full of pain, and his whole body was shaking. The sword in King Qinguang's hand was broken, and his right arm holding the sword was also broken. His chest was abnormally sunken inward, and there was a bitter smile on his cold face.

Reed asked calmly:

"Are you still fighting?"

King Pingdeng said with resentment on his face:

"I want you to die miserably!"

King Chu Jiang glanced at Xi Luo who was biting his lips behind Lid and said:

"You win this round. But you will still lose. There are ten Yama Kings in the Ten Palaces, which is enough to kill you. Even if you win by chance, Lingwu still has the Three Lingwu Guards, 80,000 Iron Cavalry and 150,000 Armored Soldiers, and the old man who is a tenth-level swordsman. Most importantly, there is our omnipotent Lord. You can't win, kid. There are some people in the world you can't afford to offend. Don't think that you can rely on your youth and passion to fight for justice. How much can you do alone?"

Lid turned his gaze to King Qin Guang, who said calmly:

"Shiro is originally a member of our Hidden Guards. We have the power of life and death over her. Moreover, she was clearly in the Hidden Guards, but she betrayed and defected to the enemy. Shouldn't such a person be killed? Lord City Lord, you should think clearly. If she betrayed the Hidden Guards today, she may betray you tomorrow. The cleaning up of our Hidden Guards has nothing to do with Lord City Lord, right? Lord City Lord, you should always be reasonable."

"reason?"

Reed laughed. Under the moonlight, he was clearly covered in wounds, but he still laughed heartily.

He turned his head, but there was no smile in his eyes. He glanced coldly at the three assassins present and said:

"You can't win and you want to reason with me? Okay, listen carefully. In Yuxi City, I, Li De, am the most reasonable person in the world!"

King Qin Guang, King Chu Jiang, and King Pingdeng remained silent.

Only Xi Luo pulled his clothes and whispered:

"This is Rivet City."

Lid said "Oh" awkwardly, thought for a moment, and said:

"It will become Yuxi City's territory sooner or later."

King Qin Guang said coldly:

"Do you really want to go to war with Lingwu?"

After a moment of silence, Reed sighed and said:

"If I had nothing to worry about, not to mention Lingwu, nothing in the entire Yongtian Kingdom would be able to do anything to me. But now it's not possible. For the sake of Yuxi City, I am willing to make a deal with Lingwu."

At this time, Shuang came over with light footsteps, stood behind Xi Luo, and sneered:

"Lingwu is not short of money, so I'll take your tricks."

Li De didn't say anything. He just took out a bamboo tube from his waist, threw it at Shuang's feet, and said lightly:

"Take it back and show it to your Lingwu Lord. Tell him that I, Lid, want to buy Xiluo's life to establish our Yuxi City Anbu organization, and ask her to help us."

Shuang did not pick it up, but kicked the bamboo tube on the ground with contempt, and said sarcastically:

"Lord City Lord is so confident. Can you send us away with just this thing that we don't know what it is?"

Lid yawned and said:

"I advise you to pick it up. Otherwise, if something happens in the future, you won't be able to bear the responsibility."

After saying this, he turned to King Qin Guang, King Pingdeng, and King Chu Jiang, and said with a smile:

"Let's not talk about King Qin Guang for now. King Chu Jiang and King Pingdeng, you two should go back and practice first. I have at least three chances to kill you tonight. Sparing you is giving face to Lord Lingwu. Anyway, you have to go back to Lingwu to get reinforcements, right? It won't cost you anything to bring my stuff to Lord Lingwu. After the mission is accomplished, she will definitely reward you a lot."

The three kings were silent for a while, and King Qin Guang said:

"Frost, pick that up and put it away."

Shuang snorted coldly, picked it up and put it on his waist, muttering:

"What a rag, you treat it like a treasure."

King Qin Guang narrowed his eyes and said:

"Someone's coming. With all that noise, the guards should be here soon. Let's go."

After saying that, he took a deep look at Lid who was covered in wounds.

After the people walked away, Reed spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground and staggered. Shiloh hurriedly supported him.

Lid coughed violently, his body trembling slightly in the wind. His face was really not normal, pale and bloodless. On the one hand, he lost too much blood, and on the other hand, the dragon blood poison of King Pingdeng corroded his whole body through the wound on his palm, which had a great impact on him. The main reason was that he took too many beatings to protect Xi Luo. If he had fought alone, he would not have been beaten so badly.

Shiloh was also very clear in his mind and supported him carefully.

Lid laughed, and as the two walked towards the darkness, Lid said:

"Shiloh, I actually lied to you."

"I know."

"No, what I meant is that day, you kidnapped Alaiya as a threat, and I said I would give you a chance to kill me, but that was actually a lie. I am not someone who will die from a [heart piercing]. Even if you really wanted to kill me with that knife, you would not have had the chance. If you wanted to kill me, you had to do it quietly."
