"I guess I have to take on the role of a coyote spy to go in and check it out!"

Finished speaking, Zheng-Fu immediately flew past the dumb-faced guards in front of the entrance of the manor before jumping onto the roof, looking for the highest point to cast the Hidden-Dimension Spell.

Flop!!! Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!!

In the great hall inside the city lord's mansion...

"Quickly, find the city lord and kill him!"

"Yes, sir!!!"

Within this hall were dozens of black robes standing together. Around them were guards lying dead on the ground. This group of men in black targeted the city lord, who was in his private room and had no idea that he was in danger right now.

Not only were the guards inside the hall killed, but even outside, all of them were killed, and the guards standing were among these black-robed people who disguised themselves as guards in order not to be suspicious.

The rest of them raided the mansion to kill the Blossom Meadow City Lord, as they were assigned. The power level of this group of black-robed men was all the experts of the high level of the Nascent Soul stage and the middle level of the Immortal stage.

On the roof of the city lord's mansion...

"Phew!!! Finally, it's done. This time, no mouse can get out of this mansion, even if they are at a high level of the Immortal stage!"

Zheng-Fu, who had been at the top of the roof for nearly ten minutes, snorted proudly at the sealing spell that prevented anyone from leaving the mansion without his permission or until the spell was relieved.

"Well, this time I can go meet the city lord. Hopefully, it will be fine." After saying that, Zheng-Fu's figure flew towards the city lord's room, where the defensive spell was applied to prevent anyone from entrancing and exiting.

Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!!

"Who's that!?"

Suddenly, within the city lord's office, where the window was opened, a sudden fluctuation appeared, like a spell that had been struck down. Then a deep but majestic voice asked, which was the voice of the lord himself. Dozens of followers within the office drew their weapons, prepared according to their defensive instincts.

"Huh… There's no one, so why? Oh! What's going on outside? Why does the energy flow of the people outside look so strange!?" As the city lord looked to see if anyone had entered, he could feel the energy flow of his men outside that suddenly disappeared in a strange way.

Thump, thump, thump!!!

"City Lord, there are the intruders, sir… Aaaah!!!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the room, accompanied by the shouts of the guards outside, before a painful groan followed, and then it disappeared.

"Wha... what... What happened!?"

The city lord furrowed his brows tightly as the events unfolded outside. The guards outside were not as skilled followers as those inside this room, but they were all the middle-level of the Nascent Soul stage experts.

If they were easily dealt with like this, the only reason to explain was that the enemy's power level was much higher than theirs.

Squeak!!!

"Hello, City Lord!"

As the city lord was thinking about the reason, the door to the shielded room slowly opened with an eerie greeting sound that followed before the door opened completely and revealed a crowd of people. Dozens of black-robed men covered their faces so that only their eyes could be seen.

"Who are you to invade the city lord's mansion!?" a voice from the city lord's followers rang out as they stared at the group of black-robed people with fierce eyes.

"You bastards of the lower classes, shut up!"

Zing!!! Slash!!!

Aaaah!!!

Suddenly, a dagger was thrown from a black-robed man, slashing straight into the throat of the city lord's follower before the follower died instantly because the dagger was coated with poison.

"Da… Damn it!!! Just one attack could easily kill an eighth-level Nascent Soul stage expert?"

The death of the middle-aged man who was the city lord's follower caused all the other followers to panic and begin to feel fear because the man who died was at the highest level among their group, except for the city lord, who had an equal level with the dead man.

"Who are you guys? What do you want here!?" As the city lord saw his close followers easily die without any response, he also was afraid. But with the status of a lord and a war veteran, he decided to open his mouth and ask.

"We're the ones who came to take your head!?" the man at the very front of the black-robed men spoke up in an eerily calm but cold voice.

"Everyone, protect the city lord quickly!"

"Yes, sir!!!"

Flap!!! Flap!!! Flap!!!

Although they were afraid, the followers did not waver. They quickly shook off their fear and immediately jumped to block the city lord's front and sides.

"Muahahaha!!! Kekekeke! Leader... Let me handle it!?" Suddenly, a disgusting and terrifying laugh rang out as he offered himself to deal with the city lord's group of followers.

"Okay… but don't kill the city lord yet. I want it alive!"

"Yes, leader... Kekeke!!!" the black-robed man replied with a disgusting laugh before looking at the city lord's followers with joyful eyes, like the tiger that saw the prey in front of him.

"Tsk! That weird bastard's voice is so disgusting..."

Slash!!! Thump! Thump! Thump!

"No, no, don't speak impolitely. Kekekekkekk!!! I am the kindest, most handsome, and most polite in the three worlds. Do you all agree!?" said the black-robed man who took the task of dealing with the followers after killing the person who spoke just now until his head fell off his shoulder with an invisible weapon.

After the quick attack and words were over, everyone froze again as the man who had just died was as skilled as the rest. And like this, wouldn't they have such a fate?

In a corner of the room...

Zheng-Fu, who had sneaked in earlier, used the 'Figure Hiding and Energy Camouflage skills' to erase his identity so that no one could catch him, watching both sides kill each other without helping in any way because it was not his business to help those followers.

The city lord alone was his target this time. Whenever all the followers died, and it was the lord's turn, he would go out to help. That was not for selfish reasons but because the person who was the leader of the black-robed men's clan had an extraordinary level of power.

Both the pressure and the psychic killing were released all around him, and his expression was as calm as a lifeless puppet. If Zheng-Fu did something without thinking or looking, he would probably suffer a serious injury.

That was because it was not just the group's leader who was at the Immortal stage; there were five more men who were at the Immortal stage within their group. Although they were only at the elemental level of the Immortal stage, it would still be quite difficult to fight them all at the same time.

But it was not that Zheng-Fu did not want to fight. In any case, this was a great opportunity for him to fight in such a tough battle that was not easy to find. If he was not wrong, battling the black-robed men's leader this time would probably let him break through to the next level.

"Hey… Don't stand still, gentlemen. If you're still, I'll slaughter you myself!!"

"The city lord, please take care of my wife and my children for me... Ah!!! Wait a minute, my child is a woman, so please find a husband for her too. Yaaa!!!"

"Me too!!!"

Yaaa!!!

The four followers, who could not stand it any longer, looked at each other before shouting to entrust their families to the city lord for him to take care of them if they died. Then the four rushed towards the disgusting black-robed man with their fighting skills

[Fiery Sword Skill]

[Wind Slicing Sword Skill]

[Serpent Floret Saber Skill]

[Halberd Cut the Air Skill]

As for the four techniques that were used, one of the three was an early intermediate martial skill. The other three were only at the high level of the Qi Gathering stage. But even if it was only a low-level skill, its power was not trivial at all because it was used at the same time.

Yaa! Yaa! Yaa! Yaa!

Whoosh!!!

"Kekekkekkee! It's not bad, so it's a little fun... Come on in... Come in, baby. I'm waiting. Pour your energy on me!!" the man in black spoke like a madman with both arms open to take on the four's attack with ease.

"No, that's not good... You guys quickly retreat!!" the city lord hurriedly shouted, telling the four of them to immediately retreat because he felt the abnormality of the black-robed man. But it was too late because the four of them were already under attack by the man in black.

[Hundred Corpse Slaughtering Twisted Daggers Skill]

Zing! Slash! Zing! Slash!

Aaaaaaah!!!!!

As soon as the four entered the black-robed man's killing range, he immediately used his technique to kill them. Its power was extremely strong and fast. A normal person might not be able to keep up with him. If someone got hit by this stance and was not cut in half, they would have had some part of their body cut off.

"Damn it!!! What kind of fighting skill is that? Why was it so fast and violent!?"

"Right, even Armor Profound Energy can't even resist it!!"

"Kekekkkekekkekee! My skills are not as shoddy as yours, let me tell you. It's a secret skill only for those who... enjoy... killing! Kekekekekkkeke!" the black-robed man exclaimed, laughing madly at the killing and seeing fresh blood like this.

Right now, there were only seven of the ten followers left, and these seven were not stronger than the four who had just died. This fact caused them to tremble even more than before, unable to hide their emotions even though they had made up their minds.

"Even though I have to die, I would like to die with dignity, certainly not asking to use other people's lives as a shield. If you guys want to kill me, then just do it. Don't waste any time!" The city lord himself could not stand the situation as it was right now, so he spoke up and walked forward, telling the assassins to aim at him alone.

"Ha ha ha! What a brave city lord, but no matter what you say, we can't let anyone go. We are assassins, so once we have received a mission, we must complete it. And if anyone witnesses our events, they will die, whether they are children, women, old people, or cats and dogs!"

Gulp!!!
