The three masked figures moved cautiously among the trees. They had been observing the Liu Family's campsite for some time, paying close attention to the guards' positions and the tent where Liu Chengdu was resting. No conversation could be heard between them. They communicated their intentions to one another through brief hand signals.However, when one of them passed a large tree, his steps suddenly slowed."Someone is over there," he whispered to his two companions.The other two immediately followed his gaze. Behind the large tree, they saw a small figure sitting with its back against the trunk. Judging by the shape of the body, the person appeared to be a child.One of the men wearing a silver mask observed Long Tian for a moment before shaking his head."There is no need to pay attention to him. He is just a child. There is no way he could detect our presence from this distance. Even a First-Class Warrior would have difficulty detecting our movements if we did not deliberately r

Although Liu Chengdu was always protected by Ya Wu, an illusion expert capable of hiding within someone's shadow, he still felt concerned about his safety. After all, Ya Wu could not possibly remain by his side at all times, especially when facing a sudden attack from multiple enemies.Liu Chengdu had heard all kinds of terrifying stories about the Sinful Flower Organization. Many nobles had fallen victim to their assassinations, and even the Crown Prince of the Han Empire had been attacked about a year ago. If the organization was truly targeting him, he dared not guarantee that his guards would be able to protect him."Elder Xuan, I sincerely hope you are willing to help me. We happen to be traveling along the same route. I only ask that you escort my group until we reach our destination, the city where the family of the young woman I intend to marry resides. I am not asking you to do anything excessive. As long as you are willing to accompany us, I will feel much more at ease," Liu

Long Tian had actually intended to consume a second Water Ginseng to continue his training. However, just as his hand was about to reach for the herb, he suddenly sensed a faint killing intent coming from a distance.His movement came to an immediate halt.Although the person was trying to conceal their murderous aura, Long Tian could still sense their presence. He did not turn around immediately. Instead, he remained seated, pretending to concentrate on his cultivation.That person was still waiting for their companions. They had not made a move because they were not yet confident they could kill their target in a single strike.Long Tian narrowed his eyes. The distance between them was considerable, preventing him from clearly seeing the figure hiding in the shadows. However, based on his experience from his previous life, he knew that a professional assassin would not act recklessly when the chances of success were uncertain.If they intended to attack the residence of a noble fami

Long Tian stared at the Gold Mask assassin standing not far away. The man appeared bewildered by the sight of his eight subordinates lying in pools of blood. However, as a First-Class Warrior who had survived numerous battles, he quickly regained his composure and raised his sword, preparing to face the next attack.Unfortunately, Long Tian had no intention of giving him time to recover his composure.Slash! Slash!Two throwing knives shot toward the Gold Mask assassin. The man reacted swiftly, tilting his body to evade the first knife before swinging his sword to deflect the second. When two more knives followed, he once again moved his sword with precision, sending both small weapons flying away.Clang! Clang!"You cunning little brat! Don't think cheap tricks like these can kill me!" the Gold Mask assassin roared. Although his voice was filled with anger, his eyes remained fixed on Long Tian, watching him cautiously. He had finally realized that the boy was no ordinary opponent. Ho

Clang! Clang! Clang!The sound of clashing swords echoed throughout the room, deafening everyone who heard it. Sparks flew whenever the two blades collided, while waves of internal energy shook the surrounding tables and chairs. Within the first three exchanges alone, the difference between the two fighters had already become apparent.The Purple Mask assassin, who had initially laughed with confidence, was now forced to exert all his strength to withstand Xuan Mo's attacks. His arms trembled violently every time their swords collided. He had never expected the Jade-Faced Swordsman to possess such terrifying attack speed.Before he could be pushed further into a disadvantage, his two companions immediately moved to assist him."Don't let him take control of the fight! Attack together!" one of them shouted.The two Purple Mask assassins lunged from the left and right, while the first continued pressing Xuan Mo from the front. They attempted to form a coordinated combination of attacks
