Chapter 89: The Power of Qingyun
Saburo Abe is one of the Twelve Red Leaf Killers of the Sakura Empire and also the most experienced assassin. He has carried out more than a thousand assassination missions and never failed. He always completed the mission perfectly and was deeply trusted by the empire.
As he got older, he carried out fewer and fewer assassination missions and gradually retreated behind the scenes, training Red Leaf Assassins and Green Leaf Assassins for the Empire. This time he came to assist Xiao Daoyun in carrying out the Empire's mission, and he just stayed behind the scenes and gave advice.
I thought that this time the mission would be completed as usual without any exceptions, but I didn't expect that the two groups of assassins sent out one after another both failed!
At one time the whole army was annihilated, six bodies were killed by mysterious hidden weapons, and one assassin was never found.
Once again, the entire army was wiped out, one Red Leaf Assassin and nineteen Green Assassins, all of them were killed without a trace!
This has never happened before in the empire's history of carrying out assassination missions!
Before he could come to his senses, Xiao Daoyun was thrown into prison. The Empire Baiyun City plan was almost aborted, which made him horrified again.
The imperial revival plan had been planned for decades, and other cities were progressing in an orderly manner, but Baiyun City was the only one that had such a big mistake. For Saburo Abe, this was a great shame and humiliation!
One's own personal honor and disgrace are trivial matters, but if one affects the revival of the empire, one will be a sinner of the empire!
He can't afford it!
Therefore, after receiving the order from Xiao Daoyun, he decided to go into battle himself and lead all the remaining Green Leaf Assassins in Baiyun City to turn the tide!
There were two assassination groups in total.
One wave was led by him personally to kill the city lord Qingyun.
One wave was composed of supporting assassins taught by him personally, who destroyed the Shen family!
It's a dark and windy night, a perfect time to kill someone.
Saburo Abe led twenty green leaf assassins and went straight to the city lord's mansion. He sneaked into the mansion quietly, hid himself, and waited for the opportunity to kill the city lord Qingyun.
At this time, almost everyone in the City Lord's Mansion had turned off the lights and gone to sleep, leaving only the City Lord's room with the lights still on. Under the flickering candlelight, the figure of a middle-aged man appeared and disappeared in front of the window.
"Um?"
Saburo Abe, who was hiding in a secluded place, was a little surprised, because the information given by the intelligence was that Qingyun, the lord of Baiyun City, had been poisoned and was terminally ill. He usually lay in bed to rest, but today he was sitting in front of the window drinking tea, which was really weird.
Saburo Abe did not act rashly, but continued to hide for half an hour. Then he moved silently and appeared under the eaves in front of the window in almost a flash, hanging directly .
"Friend, since you are here, why not come in and have a cup of tea!" At this time, a middle-aged man's voice sounded from the room. Although it was not loud, it sounded like thunder in Saburo Abe's ears.
Have you been discovered?
impossible!
Although his ninjutsu was not the highest in the empire, ordinary warriors could not detect it at all. Even if their realm was higher than his, they still could not find his trace!
This is the capital that enables him to successfully assassinate people repeatedly!
But, the person in the room could actually say such words!
Is he trying to trick him?
Saburo Abe frowned, narrowed his eyes into slits, then adjusted his breathing, and his whole body seemed to merge into one with the wall.
"Friend, you seem a little embarrassed. Let me invite you in!" The middle-aged man's voice sounded again in the room.
The next moment, Saburo Abe felt that all the hairs on his body stood up. An extremely dangerous aura burst out from the room, and the fierce martial energy was rushing towards him under the eaves!
It was really discovered!
"call!"
Saburo Abe moved and fell to the ground gently like a fallen leaf, without making a sound.
"Squeak!" The sound of a door opening was particularly harsh in the lonely night.
"Friends, now that you are here, don't hide, come out!" Qingyun appeared at the door of the room, with his hands behind his back, and glanced around the courtyard, finally looking at Abe Saburo beside the window.
"Swoosh!" Twenty figures appeared in succession in various places in the courtyard, either on the wall, under the tree, or on the roof.
"You're not poisoned?" Saburo Abe turned his head and looked at Qingyun and said coldly.
"I was indeed poisoned!" Qingyun said with a smile: "But, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise! "
"Come to think of it, I have to thank you guys!"
"Without you, I would have to practice for a few more years before I could achieve a breakthrough!"
"Now, with your help, I have made a breakthrough!"
Qingyun smiled cheerfully: "So, I should thank you very much today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingyun raised his right hand, and a huge golden palm slapped towards Abe Saburo.
"Dragon Catcher!"
Saburo Abe cried out, and with a "bang", he used ninjutsu to suddenly disappear beside the window, and the next moment his figure landed steadily in the courtyard.
"I didn't expect that someone like you would recognize this martial art!" Qingyun praised: "Not bad, not bad!" After that, he waved his right hand again, and the huge golden palm slapped towards Abe Saburo again.
"Arrogant!" Abe Saburo shouted coldly, how dare someone despise him like that? He used ninjutsu again, and his body turned into a puff of smoke with a "bang", and suddenly disappeared on the spot.
The next moment, six identical Abe Saburos appeared in front of Qingyun, holding cold knives and stabbing at Qingyun from different directions.
"Six Shadow Killing Formation!"
"hehe!"
Qingyun sneered: "What a trifle!"
After saying that, he suddenly stomped his right foot on the ground, and an incomparably powerful martial energy burst out, instantly sweeping across the entire courtyard. The wind was howling, and the big trees in the courtyard were rustling, and some were even bent by the powerful force. An invisible force instantly shattered the five afterimages of Abe Saburo.
The next moment, a huge golden palm slapped towards Saburo Abe, and with a "bang", he fell heavily to the ground. With a "wow", a mouthful of blood spurted out.
This is the first time Saburo Abe has been injured since he carried out the assassination mission!
"Impossible!" Saburo Abe cried out in horror and looked at Qingyun at the door of the room, his eyes full of disbelief.
"I've already told you that I want to thank you very much!" Qing Yun put his hands behind his back: "Without you, I wouldn't be able to reach this level!"
"Humph!" Abe Saburo snorted coldly. With a "bang", his figure disappeared from the courtyard again and appeared on the roof. He waved his hand and said, "Let's do it together!"
"yes!"
Twenty Green Leaf Assassins spoke in unison, and the next moment there were continuous "bang bang bang" sounds. Along with bursts of smoke , all the Green Leaf Assassins disappeared into the night.
"I haven't stretched my muscles for a long time. I'm going to have some fun with you guys today!"
"Dragon Catcher!"
