Chapter 33: Hunting and Killing 1.3

  Time was ticking away second by second, and more and more assassins were dying under Wu Ye Yu's sneak attacks. Whether they were jumping around or standing still, none could escape the laser sniper rifle in Wu Ye Yu's hands, which had occupied the highest point. No matter what outstanding achievements these dead assassins had originally achieved, how many extraordinary masters they had assassinated, or how much hardship and effort they had paid to stand here today, all ended with their deaths.

  No one will remember them, for they are the weak. No one will remember them, for their identities have long been unknown. No one will remember them, for they were just assassins. When the last wandering assassin died at Wu Ye Yu's hands, more than half an hour had passed.

  "What? Just over half an hour? The mission time is three days, and looking at the remaining ones, it seems that even Xueyue's original courtyard can't be broken through. With such a weak strength, how can it be worth so many energy points? Could it be because this is just the first wave of attack? What kind of brainless commander would have this level of ability?" Wu Yeyu wondered in his heart.

  ……

  "Whatever, let's take out the targets first." Wu Ye Yu shook his head and aimed his gun at the chaotic crowd in the distance. "Good visibility, wind speed... 'What wind speed? I've only heard of bullets being blown off course, when have I ever heard of laser beams being blown off course? And it doesn't seem like there's any wind tonight either'."

  At this time, the leader of the assassins had gradually discovered that something was wrong. The formation he led was constantly retreating, and the subordinates who were sent to create chaos around him were also silent. Even the Wu family, which was in a state of turmoil just now, has gradually returned to calm.

  "Could it be that my own men have killed everyone around?" The leader of the assassins thought of this answer, and then quickly denied it. Even if he was the one who created chaos in the surroundings, it was impossible to kill all the people in the Wu family in such a short time. "That means they've already been taken out."

  After reaching this conclusion, the leader's heart was shocked, and his movements slowed down for a moment. Wu Zongyue seized the opportunity to slash a sword at the leader. Although he narrowly dodged it, due to being a beat late, a deep mark was left on his thigh.

  "You can't underestimate me, right? You were distracted during the battle with Wu, hum! It's simply seeking death!" Wu Zongyue saw that he had already heavily injured the leader of the incoming enemy, so he hurried forward to continue attacking, while also using words to disturb his opponent, in order to quickly achieve merit.

  This leader wasn't foolish either, knowing that he had reached a critical moment of life and death, and that he couldn't hold back any longer. He gritted his teeth and endured another sword strike from Wu Zongyue, which severed his left hand. Then, with his right hand, he summoned the internal energy within his body, gathering the dripping blood in an eerie manner, forming a crimson-colored sphere on his palm. With a flick of his wrist, he sent the sphere flying out.

  Wu Zongyue was perplexed because he had just cut off his opponent's arm without any hindrance, and after a slight hesitation, he saw his opponent make a strange move, so he hastily retreated backwards, concentrated and prepared to defend against his opponent's moves.

  Only to see the blood balls that were thrown out by the leader rapidly transformed into blood arrows, shooting towards Wu Zongyue at an extremely fast speed. Fortunately, Wu Zongyue had anticipated something was amiss and had taken precautions, using his internal energy to protect his body while swinging the sword in his hand with great force onto the ground, striking the blood arrow right on target. In an instant, the high-quality precious sword was mysteriously wrapped around by the blood arrow, making a "clang" sound as it fell to the ground, followed by a loud "boom" as an explosion occurred, causing smoke and dust to fill the air and thunderous sounds to reverberate everywhere. Fortunately, Wu Zongyue had used his internal energy to protect himself, or else he would have lost something in this blast.

  "Something's wrong! Get ready to defend yourselves! Don't let the assassins take advantage of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack!" Wu Zongyue shouted loudly as soon as he saw the dust rising.

  Having heard the master's warning, the guards who were fighting against the assassins hastily retreated and gathered together, concentrating their minds to prevent any sneak attacks by the assassins. They were well-trained, as were the people of the Wen family, quickly forming a battle array in preparation for the assassins' attack.

  But no matter how long they waited, not a single assassin came to make a move, the guards were also puzzled for a while, but still carried out the master's orders, not daring to relax their vigilance.

  At this time, Wu Zongyue was also somewhat perplexed, secretly wondering why there was no attack. Just then, a faint scent wafted into Wu Zongyue's nostrils. Upon smelling the fragrance, the master of the Wu household suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented, his face changing color in an instant. He hastily circulated his energy to protect himself, preventing even a wisp of smoke from approaching. "Hold your breath, there is poison in the air! Be careful!" he warned, before quickly sitting down to meditate, attempting to expel the toxins from his body.

  However, it seemed to be too late. All that could be heard were the guards around him constantly letting out waves of anguished wails and cries of pain, followed by the continuous sound of bodies falling to the ground, and the mournful cries continued unabated.

  The smoke and dust in the air gradually dispersed, and everyone's line of sight slowly recovered. Wu Zongyue saw that the guards on his side had fallen down one by one, and the people from the Wen family were also the same, apparently already poisoned. These poisoned people kept scratching their ears and cheeks, wailing loudly, one wave after another, looking very painful. It's estimated that in a short while, they will all be dead.

  Only a few guards who were far enough away from the explosion zone and heard Wu Zongyue's warning in time did not get poisoned. These guards quickly moved to this side after seeing the tragic situation of their companions, protecting Wu Zongyue in front of them.

  Looking at those assassins, each of them now had a black silk cloth on their face, with drops of murky water falling from the cloth non-stop, apparently well-prepared.

  "Hahaha! Wu Jiazhu! How do you feel now? Don't you feel dizzy and itchy all over your body? Hmph! Let me tell you the truth, this is a special poison personally concocted by our leader, Blood Tooth Fog. This toxin is so potent that even if you inhale just a tiny bit, your body will become unbearably itchy, and internally, you'll be in excruciating pain. Even if you try to force the toxin out, it's impossible! Hehe! In just a short while, all of your subordinates will succumb to the poison and die! All your years of hard work will be for nothing, reduced to ashes! Hehehehe! Want an antidote? Tsk tsk! The antidote is on me, come and take it if you dare!" The leader, with a smug expression, reached into his robes with his one remaining hand and pulled out a white porcelain bottle, waving it at Wu Zongyue.

  "Hmph! You think I don't know, you're trying to disrupt my cultivation and force out the poison? Even if I'm currently unable to move due to my cultivation, you still wouldn't dare come over and kill me, heh heh heh! Are you afraid that when the time comes, I'll make a desperate last strike?! Hmph! You're such a cowardly rodent! It's unknown how you've managed to survive until now, your temperament is even inferior to my single guard, it's simply a shame for cultivators like us!" Wu Zongyue remained motionless from start to finish, cultivating and forcing out the poison while scolding the enemy leader.

  "Haha! As expected of the Wu family's master, you've managed to build up your business to this point today. Indeed, it's reasonable, and you're not a bad person either. I admire you!" The leader said, bowing his hands to Wu Zongyue, then continued, "But what's the use? In the end, you'll still die at my hands, haha! I don't dare go over and kill you myself, but do I need to take action personally to kill someone? Minions! Take out your hand crossbows and shoot this person for me! Haha!" The leader of the assassins looked around at his subordinates, then gave a very pleased wave of his hand.

  The assassins around heard the order, quickly took out their crossbows, started pulling strings and loading arrows, preparing to shoot Wu Zongyue to death with random arrows. The guards in front of Wu Zongyue, however, did not dodge a single one, standing very loyally in front of him, gripping the swords in their hands, ready to protect him at any time.

  In the distance, Wu Ye Yu's heart was speechless, this leader was actually shameless to such an extent, really a rare treasure! The muzzle of the gun aimed at the opponent was also ready, and the head of the assassin leader was clearly in sight. Wu Ye Yu hooked his index finger and pulled the trigger.

  Only to see the leader's head suddenly tilted, and then lost all his strength, even the triumphant look on his face had not yet faded, and he fell down with a smile. The assassins and guards around looked at each other in shock, seemingly still unable to react, staring blankly at the corpse that was still triumphant just now. Only Wu Zongyue thoughtfully glanced in the direction of Wu Yeyu, but because it was too dark, nothing could be seen, and his soul was also without any abnormality.

  Wu Yeru didn't show any courtesy either, and started firing at the nearby stunned assassins. Since they were all gathered together earlier, Wu Yeru didn't need to aim much, and every shot hit an assassin. Most of the time, when the laser beams pierced through an assassin's body, it would also shoot through the ones behind them.

  Wu Ye Yu fired twenty or so shots in a row, fortunately creating several strings of sugar gourds. Now there isn't a single assassin standing on the scene, they all fell to the ground wailing, their bodies constantly twitching.

  Wu Ye Yu carefully looked through the scope, slowly examining the assassins' situation, and found that most of them had already been shot in vital areas, dead beyond recognition. The few lucky ones who were still alive had also lost their ability to move, and were easily finished off by Wu Ye Yu, becoming his spoils of war.

  "Mission accomplished!" Wu Yeru confirmed several times from a distance, and upon finding no remaining loose ends, he quietly retreated from the rooftop into the darkness. Only when he reached the ground did he use his agility technique to sprint rapidly towards his own courtyard! As Wu Yeru ran with all his might, he checked the mission map, avoiding the guards left behind, his mouth curved up to his ears. If not for considering that he didn't want to be discovered by others, he would have probably burst out laughing already.

  No wonder, Wu Yeru's random shooting killed more people than his previous total, and together they took out 48 of them. This time there were only over 50 assassins, excluding one who was needed for the task, which means he extra-killed 47 assassins, that is to say, in just half a night, he got 570,000 energy points! How could Wu Yeru not burst out laughing?!
