Chapter 213: Chapter 212 [A Person from ’Japan’ Appears]

Ye Tianchen and Murong Xin, both completely naked, were embracing and kissing each other, squatting in a large wooden tub filled with hot water. It was a critical moment, and they could not afford any disturbance. If the Detoxification Herb inside Murong Xin was startled, not only would Murong Xin die, but Ye Tianchen might also lose his life.

To neutralize the poison of the Detoxification Herb, it was essential to use Ye Tianchen’s life to gamble for Murong Xin’s life. The Detoxification Herb was extremely yin and cold. That was why Ye Tianchen and Murong Xin needed mouth-to-mouth contact, using the utmost yang and firmness to suppress the Detoxification Herb, preventing it from running wild within Murong Xin’s body and damaging her internal organs.

Zhang Yide had done everything he could. As he had said, the rest was all up to Ye Tianchen. Twelve Golden Needles were inserted into various acupoints in both Murong Xin and Ye Tianchen, providing a bit of safe protection to force the Detoxification Herb out without causing it to run amok, which could lead to internal organ rupture and severe bleeding.

However, just as Ye Tianchen and Murong Xin were tightly embracing each other, and everything had reached the most critical point when no disturbance was permissible, a top-level assassin broke through the defenses of several hundred armed elite soldiers and rushed into the Zhang family compound intending to kill Murong Yudou.

At that time, the only warrior by Murong Yudou’s side was Hei Mian. However, the first black-clothed person who rushed in was quite formidable, nearly evenly matched with Hei Mian. The two exchanged over a hundred rapid moves without determining a victor. This was surprising to both, as they had not expected to encounter an opponent of equal caliber.

Especially for Hei Mian, it was clear that these hundreds of armed soldiers were incapable of stopping the assassins, or else the enemies wouldn’t have breached their defenses so effortlessly. He now faced a strong assassin and more experts kept rushing in to kill Murong Yudou. With Ye Tianchen busy detoxifying Murong Xin, he definitely could not attend to anything else, and it seemed likely that Murong Yudou would indeed die there.

Following a loud explosion, the doors of the Zhang family compound were blasted open, and several black-clothed individuals stormed in. Each was a first-rate expert, everyone wielding a long saber with a murderous aura that startled Hei Mian. These people, all from the Ancient Martial Sect and aiming to assassinate Murong Yudou, were much more formidable than typical firearm-wielding assassins; otherwise, they wouldn’t have so effortlessly evaded the bullets from several hundred elite soldiers. Hence, many ordinary people, who regard modern firearms as the most formidable, don’t realize that, in the face of true superpower experts and Ancient Martial Sect experts, these are merely toys.

"Kill him, complete the mission," one of them coldly said to Murong Yudou.

Hearing the order from the middleman, two black-clothed individuals by the side quickly swung their sabers and charged at Murong Yudou. The Zhang family courtyard was stormed by four black-clad individuals, each a top-level expert; with only Hei Mian fighting the initially hidden black-clothed man, it was virtually impossible to spare attention for others, giving an idea of the peril Murong Yudou was in.

At that moment, what was particularly admirable was that Murong Yudou, a veteran forged in the fires of war, showed no fear or retreat in the face of such deadly assassins. In his cloudy eyes shone a hint of majesty; the old general who did not fear death radiated a regal, domineering aura.

Swish!

Swish!

Two sharp blades hacked towards Murong Yudou. He stepped back, kicking one of the attackers and sending him flying. However, being advanced in age, over seventy years, and grappling with chronic pains from years of combat, the fact that he could still react quickly and kick a top-level assassin was a testament to his enduring warrior spirit as an old general on the battlefield.

But just as Murong Yudou kicked one assassin away, the other assassin’s blade came straight down towards his head, glinting coldly, capable of cleaving a man in two.

Clang!

In the nick of time, Hei Mian managed to disengage from his opponent and rushed to the front of Murong Yudou, using his Military Blade to block the descending saber of the other assassin.

At that moment, the assassin who had been kicked away by Murong Yudou lunged at them again. In that instant, Hei Mian demonstrated his strength as a Heavenly Gang level warrior, engaging with two top-class experts simultaneously. His left-hand Military Blade blocked one assassin, and his right-hand punched opened the other, simultaneously retreating while protecting Murong Yudou. This action made all four assassins involuntarily exchange glances; they had not expected such a formidable expert like Hei Mian beside Murong Yudou.

"You’re strong, but you can’t save Murong Yudou. He must die tonight!" said the slightly bulkier black-clothed man who had yet to act, coldly staring at Hei Mian.

"Who are you? Which organization are you from?" Though not verbalizing it, Hei Mian felt the crisis. Despite his silence, he knew it was difficult for him alone to fend off these four top-notch assassins, particularly since the man who had not yet attacked gave him a strong impression that once this person took action, it would be at the most critical moment.

"You needn’t know. Just let us kill Murong Yudou, or you will die too, regardless of how strong you are," said the burly man, sneering.

Without responding, Hei Mian continued to retreat while protecting Murong Yudou. The four black-clothed opponents facing them were incredibly formidable. Up to now, not a single one of the hundred elite soldiers guarding outside had broken through to assist. It seemed likely they had met a grim fate, and at this rate, everyone here would die tonight.

"General Murong, you go first. I’ll cover our retreat!" Hei Mian whispered to Murong Yudou.

"No need. If it costs your life for mine, wouldn’t my lifetime of honor be destroyed? I, Murong Yudou, have never let my comrades die for me." Murong Yudou shook his head, stepped in front of Hei Mian. He wasn’t bragging or trying to show off. Throughout his life, Murong Yudou had fought fiercely. Even now, in his old age, he would never allow anyone to tarnish his reputation.

"Hmph, Murong Yudou, you are indeed a noteworthy adversary. If it weren’t for the fatal orders I received, I would have indeed considered sparing you!" the burly man in black snorted coldly.

"Bring it on. I, Murong Yudou, have never feared anyone!" At this moment, Murong Yudou’s eyes, too, blazed with anger. As an old general, even in the face of death, he maintained his dignity and authority, not to be violated by anyone.

"Kill!" the burly man in black said with a tone utterly devoid of humanity.

Three men in black charged simultaneously toward Hei Mian and Murong Yudou. Murong Yudou, unflinching amidst danger, never retreated a step. This was the domineering spirit of an old general; even if a knife were held to his throat, he would never step back.

Hei Mian didn’t say much. As a Heavenly Gang level warrior, and someone who placed orders above his own life, protecting Murong Yudou was his mission, even if it meant being splattered with blood on the spot, he had to block these four men.

The melee began. Three top-tier assassins battled Hei Mian. The lead burly man in black, who hadn’t made a move yet, frowned as he watched Hei Mian. He was indeed stunned by Hei Mian’s abilities. His own men, each a first-class expert, had all mastered the Absolute Skills of Ancient Martial Sects. Ordinary bodyguards or soldiers couldn’t match them. But Hei Mian, fighting one against three, was still holding his ground, which was indeed impressive.

As a Heavenly Gang level warrior in China, he belonged to the kind of single fighters with the strongest capabilities, even superior to Sky Dragon Team and Falcon Unit. Their tasks mostly involved protecting national leaders or even more confidential matters, never to be known by the outside world.

Even so, Hei Mian couldn’t hold out for long. He was facing three assassins with rich combat experience. Soon he had been wounded by their knives. Although there was no threat to his life, continuing like this would certainly lead to his death.

"Old General Murong, you go first. I’ll hold them off!" Hei Mian pushed one assassin back with a slash and turned urgently to Murong Yudou.

"Do your best. No need to sacrifice your life for me. They want to kill me. Let fate decide!" Murong Yudou would not leave. As an old general, he was prepared to die here and would never flee. Moreover, without seeing his granddaughter Murong Xin safe and sound, how could he possibly leave?

"Since you’re also prepared to die, I’ll fulfill your wish!"

At that moment, the burly man in black who had yet to take action had already drawn the sword from his back. As he did this, Hei Mian was shocked. It was a Japanese military blade, glittering coldly. Could it be that these assassins were from Japan? Who on earth would hire Japanese assassins?

Whoosh!

The burly man in black moved, his speed inconceivable, shocking Hei Mian, who had guessed correctly. This burly man in black was indeed the strongest, a top-tier assassin, far more formidable than the three first-class assassins.

Hei Mian desperately tried to break free from the three assassins surrounding him to stop the burly man in black. Unfortunately, the three assassins clung tightly to Hei Mian, their lethal strikes leaving him no time to even care for himself, only to watch helplessly as the burly man in black swung his blade toward Murong Yudou.

"All Chinese must die!" the burly man in black said coldly as he reached Murong Yudou.

"Who exactly are you?" Murong Yudou frowned and asked.

With a flash of cold light, the Japanese military blade chopped down toward Murong Yudou...(To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian.com to vote and support me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
