Chapter 234 - I Hear That Curiosity Can Kill the Cat

“Huo Tian, quickly release the prince. Otherwise, none of you will leave this yamen today!” A man in armor pointed his sword at Yin Xu.

Yin Xu recognized him, he had challenged him before at the Imperial Palace when they were setting up the array, but he was not clear on his name.

Yin Xu scoffed, “Don't think too highly of yourself. Just with you guys, this young master wants to see how you can't make me leave this yamen!”

“It's a good thing for youngsters to be arrogant with some ability, but don't be too conceited. Do you really think that you can withstand an army of a thousand men?” He really didn't know where this young master got his confidence from.

Yin Xu licked his lips, a kind of bloodlust boiling in the depths of his heart. It seemed that it had been a long time since he last went on a killing spree.

He didn't seem to be in the mood to do anything. He didn't have the energy he had in his previous life. He didn't even feel like killing people anymore.

The main reason was because he felt that killing mortals with his status was bullying the weak.

Just like how a human would not trample a group of ants for no reason, he felt that there was no need.

However, when these ants took the initiative to climb onto his body, gnawing on his flesh and drinking his blood, there was no need to be lenient anymore.

The crowd only saw the figure flash past, followed by a series of screams.

They didn't even have a chance to see how their opponents had done it. They could only watch as their comrades collapsed one by one. The better part was that their necks were broken. Their deaths were so tragic that even their corpses couldn't be preserved.

Panic spread among the soldiers. Not everyone was afraid of death, and not everyone dared to face it head-on.

The Duke of Qin had long been taken away, but they couldn't even catch up to his shadow. Gradually, some people began to retreat stealthily.

“Go!” All of you attack! Whoever dares to step back, will have to form a whole family of nine! ” The man brandished his sword, his anger soaring to the heavens. However, he didn't move his foot forward at all. Instead, he followed the stream of people and retreated.

Yin Xu's surroundings were already filled with corpses, but other than his hands that were drenched in blood, his clothes were still clean. Of course, no one noticed such a small thing.

When the ten metres around him was completely devoid of life, Yin Xu also did not want to fight anymore. No matter how many ants he killed, he would not feel a sense of accomplishment.

“My targets are only the Duke of Qin and the Second Prince. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me. If anyone wants to die, I don't mind sending them off.”

“Where did you take the Duke of Qin?”

“This question is really stupid. I have no enmity with him, and the one who had it with him is His Majesty, so of course he was brought back to the capital. As for what happened afterwards, I'm not sure.”

Everyone felt their hearts sink. They knew that if the Duke of Qin really was sent to the capital, he would die without a doubt. And for followers of the Duke of Qin, their fates could be imagined.

Just as Yin Xu was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and asked: “Right, where are the troops that the Second Prince brought?”

“No comment!”

Yin Xu smiled and extended his bloodied right hand. Everyone retreated in fright, wishing they could dig a hole and hide in it.

However, it was obvious that they couldn't dig the hole in the ground. They could only watch helplessly as an indescribable force sucked towards their summit, and in the blink of an eye, they fell into Yin Xu's hands.

Yin Xu pressed against his forehead, and a wave of demonic power drilled into the other party's sea of consciousness from the palm of his hand, nearing a section of memory fragments. Yin Xu closed his eyes, found the information he was looking for, and threw the burly general to the side as if he was throwing out a rag.

The rest of the soldiers found that they could do nothing but stare at the peak and twitch and die.

“Demon …” “The devil …” The soldiers with weak wills were shocked senseless by this series of terrifying scenes.

“So that's how it is.” Originally, Yin Xu's goal for coming here was not to include those warriors who had disappeared, but since he had completed half of the mission, it didn't seem right for him to finish the other half off. Moreover, Teng Yu seemed to want to obtain Capital Camp's loyalty.

He turned around and left, leaving the yamen in a few leaps. At this time, the yamen was in chaos, the Duke of Qin and Second Prince were kidnapped, and many high ranking officials had died. The remaining people didn't have any ideas for the time being, only the Duke of Qin and the Second Prince's personal guards continued to persevere in their search for people.

Zuo Shaotang and Xiao Feng each carried one person on their shoulders as they ran towards the city gate. The two of them walked on different paths, and in the end, they met by the city gate.

Zuo Shaotang whistled, and said with an ambiguous smile: “We are indeed a match made in heaven, to have such tacit understanding in completing the mission.”

Xiao Feng carried the dead drunk Qin Wang as he charged through the barrier and up the wall. Then, he suddenly threw the person on his shoulder off the city wall.

“Ah …” When the soldiers who had caught up saw this scene, they were all terrified. If such a high wall were to fall, it would undoubtedly lead to death.

The four men in black did not immediately retreat after the Duke of Qin fell. Instead, they simply tossed him to the side and stood in a strange position, holding onto the spear with both hands without moving.

Zuo Shaotang did the same as he threw Second Prince down to the ground. Then, together with Xiao Feng, he faced the surrounding soldiers.

“Why are we standing here foolishly waiting for them to attack? Can't you just jump off and run? ” Zuo Shaotang stood beside Xiao Feng and asked.

“If you want to leave, you can leave by yourself.”

Zuo Shaotang scolded softly. He was also curious, and naturally wanted to know what other drama their Sect Leader had arranged.

Looking down from the top of the wall, they saw hundreds of men in black standing in different directions, not moving at all.

“I heard that curiosity will kill the cat, I wonder if that's true?”

Xiao Feng sliced apart the person who was attacking him with his sword and replied: “You're not a cat.”

“Makes sense.” Zuo Shaotang also joined the battle, realizing that there were more and more reinforcements behind him, although they were easy to kill, but if he were to do it for a long time, his waist and back would start aching and his legs would start cramping up, thus he shouted: “Do you all want our lives, or your Royal Highness's?”

Seeing that everyone had stopped moving, he continued to shout, “The person you want to save is outside the city. It's useless chasing after us.”

These words were true, but the soldiers hadn't received any orders before. They didn't know whether to kill or to save, but anyone with brains could tell that the Duke of Qin's life was definitely the most important.

At this moment, the sentry had already figured out the number of the enemies outside the city gates. After finding out that there were only three hundred or so people outside, everyone rushed towards the city gates.

Seeing that, Zuo Shaotang pulled Xiao Feng and jumped down the wall from the other side, and explained: “I have a bad feeling, that place is not safe, let's hide far away.”

Xiao Feng did not object, as assassins, they all had sharp senses. Yin Xu had placed them outside the city gate, and if they accepted them but did not leave, then he definitely had other intentions.

When they reached a safe zone, the city gate was opened. A group of soldiers swarmed out and instantly blocked off the entrance.

“Release the prince, or we will kill without mercy!” It had to be said that the overcrowded side always had the advantage of making arrogant remarks.

Yin Xu was not here, and he had hidden himself far away, so no one dared to refute this statement.

However, there was no need for anyone to refute him, because in the next moment, the enemy had already used actual actions to slap his face.

Their movements were uniform, without the slightest error. Their moves seemed ordinary, but when the spear pointed out, a light lit up, striking the city wall like lightning, and following that, a huge vibration came from below.

“What's going on?” “Look, at the city wall!” “The city walls have moved …”

Everyone turned their heads to look and saw the original watchtower on the high wall collapse with a loud bang. Pieces of broken wood and stone rolled down, smashing onto the soldiers who could not dodge in time. The scene once again became a scene of miserable shrieks.

“Ah …” Miserable screams rang out one after another.

“Did you see it clearly? What move did they use just now? How could it have such great power? “

Xiao Feng watched intently, he shook his head: “None, just this one move alone, half of the enemy's troops have been lost. They must have borrowed some kind of power.”

Zuo Shaotang's heart skipped a beat, “Formation? It must be a formation! It actually had such power … I don't know when he set it up, but no wonder he wasn't worried at all about this trip.

“Are you worried?” Xiao Feng glanced at him sideways.

“I, Zuo, am only helping out in a friendly manner. This has nothing to do with me. What's there to worry about?”

“Then shut up and look good.”

“How can I not express my feelings at such an exciting moment? I am truly in awe of our new Sect Leader! “

“You should say this in front of him. Let him feel your loyalty and respect. Maybe he can teach you half a move.” Xiao Feng thought about the last move that Yin Xu had used when he had first met him. It was also because of this that he had always followed Yin Xu.

Right now, they were one master and one servant. It was unknown if they would have the chance to get him to teach them that ultimate move.

More and more soldiers were attracted to the scene at the city gate's gate, all of the Duke of Qin's and Second Prince's forces all rushed over, and when they found out that the strange scene just now was caused by more than three hundred people, a cold shiver went down their spines.

The smart ones all thought of that Seventh Young Master Huo's famous ability, formation, which benefited from the legendary array formation, and everyone had the intention to back down.

A formation that even the powerful imperial guards and generals could not break, they were naturally powerless as well.

This was especially true when people discovered that cracks had appeared on the city walls. When the news spread, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

This was no longer something that a human could resist. A timid soldier would no longer be able to hold onto his weapon steadily and would lose all will to fight.
