"Shadow, not good!" Wen Qi Hua burst through the door as he gasped for breath.

The shadow retracted the Penetrating Bone Nail that was between her fingers and her palm, and asked indifferently: "What happened? "Speak properly."

Wen Qi Hua said with a sad face, "It's over. It's all messed up."

It should have been at the Puppet Palace when he was ready to make his move, but Wen Qi Hua had appeared here …

The silhouette frowned, quickly understanding his meaning. "You should just tell me what to do." Wen Qihua kneeled down and said dejectedly, "It's too late. The sky is already dark. They are about to start fighting. It's already too late."

Shadow got up and picked up the mask, his tone was still calm. "I'm going to the Puppet Palace now, do you want to go with me? "If you're going, then get up. Tell me about what happened on the road, and go cry with Master after that."

Wen Qi Hua asked in a daze, "What's the use of the two of us?"

Shadow scribbled a few words on a piece of Xuan paper on the table before calling out to a carrier pigeon. "I don't know, but I don't want to disappoint Master." He no longer paid any attention to him and walked outside. Waking up from his daze, Wen Qi Hua hurriedly got up and gave chase.

At the peak of Puppet Mountain, in the Dark Palace, the battle had already begun.

Both the light and dark palaces were formed by different factions. They were dressed in almost the same attire. Only the sleeves and the sleeves were slightly different. The battle between over a thousand people, when matched by the night and the cold wind, the slaughter and the fresh blood, was an incomparably wonderful scene.

The ragged beggar appeared in the dark palace in advance when he shouldn't have, directly rushing into the crowd and starting to fight for his life. After a short period of disturbance, the two powers, who were originally evenly matched, turned their attention to the beggar who had suddenly appeared.

"What's going on?" Demon Poisonfeather stood on the treetop, his pupils slightly contracted, "Where is Wen Qichua?"

The assassins looked at each other but didn't say anything. They just waited.

Xue Sha thought for a while and asked, "Hall Master, these people are obviously doing things randomly, and did not follow the original agreement. Would you like to send someone to take a closer look? "

Poisonfeather slowly nodded. "It's better to go and take a look."

The white-robed youth standing next to Xue Sha said, "I'll go."

Demon Poisonfeather nodded. "Drizzt, you have to be careful."

"I understand." His figure flashed as he slid down the tree, not attracting anyone's attention as he approached the melee crowd.

White clothes should have been the easiest to find during the night, but from start to finish, he had never been noticed. Only the Demon Poisonous and a few others were able to see the shallow mark. He returned to the tree and said, "Wen Qi Hua isn't here. He must have separated from them long ago. The number of members of the gang was different from what Wen Qihua had said before. It was almost half of the original number. There's no reason for us to recklessly attack them. Wen Qi Hua might not even have explained the plan to them. "

Xue Sha frowned. "Then they came by themselves."

"I'm afraid so."

Hearing that, Yu Gong gritted his teeth, "It looks like you still know the arrangements, right? What was this? A bunch of old beggars rushed in randomly to fight? "

"Sorry, but it looks like there's a problem with the arrangement."

Yu Shi said angrily: "I'm not interested to know if you made any mistakes in your arrangements. I just want to know what you plan on doing with us. Go up and fight? Don't forget what kind of promise your Young Master made! "

"We will send half of our men to do battle, and we will make up for the mistakes we made."

Yu Wu sneered and said, "With just a few dozen of you, can you defeat hundreds of people?"

"We can't. We only know how to kill people. We'll just have to kill enough to kill 200 people." After a moment of silence, he half-turned around and said, "Concealed Sin."

A person came over from the tree behind and stood firmly on the branch. He bowed and said, "Your subordinate is here."

"Bring all the people from the Hidden Hall with you. If you kill enough people, come back to me."

Concealed Sin said: "Subordinate understands."

The Magic Poisonfeather looked at Xue Sha again, his expression as calm as before. "I'll let the Hidden Hall pave the way for you. I'll be relying on you when I fight with Luo Changxiu." Xue Sha nodded his head to show that he understood.

When Yu Wu heard this, his pupils shrank. He didn't continue criticizing him and heavily humphed before turning his face away.

Dazzling Spring rubbed his wrist and said, "I'll go with you."

The Magic Vicious Beast replied, "That's fine. Keep your strength well. We'll need you later." The meaning of his words was very clear — he was willing to give up all the assassins in the Hidden Words Hall to ensure that the assassination planned in advance would not be affected.

His gaze swept across the people fighting below. "I'll go down first and have them wait. We'll wait for them to finish." Right now, their physical strength was very high, which was too much of a disadvantage for an assassin. "I will open a gap for them, and the hall master will see what opportunity there is to let them in."

"Mm. Then I'll be troubling you." It was impossible to open a gap among thousands of people without having a strong martial arts technique. As the right-hand envoy of the Netherworld Valley, Qian Jin's kung fu was only second to that of the demonic jellyfishes. It was obviously the right decision for Qian Jin to let Qian Jin take the initiative.

Dazzling Spring did not say anything more. He took two hooks from his waist, turned around, and stabbed them into the crowd. As he waved the hooks in his hands, a 'kacha' sound was made as the mechanism activated. A dagger appeared on each of his elbows, which quickly took away each person's life.

The Dark Palace's numbers were actually a bit higher than the Ming Palace's. They also held the advantage, so they should have held the upper hand. However, with Weeper and Tang Xiao's underlings in the Dark Palace, the Ming Palace wasn't a weak force. As a result, the two were on par with each other for the time being.

However, the fight was internal, and the appearance of the gang belonged to the foreign enemy. The Brotherhood could not be considered weak, but they were destined to lose in the face of the greater half of the Puppet Palace's members. Now, whoever he killed, the most important thing was to attract the attention of the Puppet Palace, so that they could live as long as possible. Only by giving the beggars a chance to get used to it would they be able to play a bigger role.

Dazzling Spring had a new face to begin with, and he was wearing such eye-catching white clothes. His random killing that did not distinguish between friend or foe had created a gap in the crowd. As expected, the attention of the two powers in the Puppet Palace was directed towards him, and the pressure on the Beggar Gang was greatly reduced.

In the end, the Puppet Palace was only a mechanical sect. In terms of actual combat ability, they definitely weren't strong. Dazzling Spring's qinggong was ranked in the top 100 in the martial arts world. It stuck closely to the backs of the surrounding people where it was not easy to be detected. It continuously drilled through the crowd, completely ignoring the Puppet Palace's most proficient hidden weapons. Caught off guard, the Puppet Palace had truly caused shallow marks to kill dozens of people in an instant. The formation had been thrown into complete disorder.

The Magic Formless Poison had been watching Drifting Water's movements. As his stamina was gradually decreasing, he suddenly ordered, "Concealed Sin, half."

Concealed Sin turned around and said: "Hidden Words Hall, come out half the way with me." Assassins who had been waiting quietly followed them. They took advantage of the darkness to get closer to their "prey."

He turned in a wide circle to get rid of the people who might be following him. Then he returned to the tree and crouched down on a branch to rest. Demon Poisonfeather looked at him and saw that his breath was in a slight disorder. His face didn't change and he relaxed a bit, "Well done.

Xue Sha clenched his fists. He looked down and quickly adjusted the formation, filling up the gap and restoring the original tempo of the crowd. He gritted his teeth and said, "Not enough. It's still not enough."

He calmed his anger and raised his head to look at Xue Sha. "The number of people here is too large, the main assassins aren't allowed to use their stamina." Even if we go all out, a pair of ten won't be enough to make up for the loopholes. " He then added, "I still have two other Altar Masters to take responsibility for. After that, I don't have any more energy left."

Blood Killer gave a look of approval to Drifting Water and turned to the Magic Poisonous. "Do you want to use it?" He was asking about the five Hall of Blood assassins who were left to 'clean' under the order of the young master. Based on the current situation, the roles the five of them could play was no small matter.

The devilish viper shook his head. "Let's wait a bit longer. Blood Face, Blood Song, Blood Moon, and Blood Cui. The four of you, prepare yourself and come with me to replace them. Remember, as long as you lose less than 50% of your strength, or if your strength falls below 80% due to injuries, you are not allowed to stop for any reason. " The four of them should be.

Xue Sha also picked out six people and instructed them to prepare. He then asked, "Hall Master, do you not need me to take action?"

"You don't have enough physical strength, so you won't be able to recover in a while, so forget it."

Bloodbath also knew of its own weaknesses. Thus, he could only agree, "Yes, this subordinate understands."

He held his right hand on the wrist of his left hand and recuperated his Qi, "Hall Master, you and Xue Sha together are more than enough to deal with Luo Changxiu and the Left and Right Protectors. How about we assign a massacre?"

Poisonfeather and Xue Sha looked at each other and asked, "What do you mean?"

"All three of us have the strength to perish together with them. It would be much easier to get one of them."

The Demon Poisonfeather thought for a moment, then nodded. "That's fine, then let me do it. I don't think it's hard to kill the three of them. Try your best to protect me, who didn't have enough self-protection after the war. "

He moved his fingers and said lightly, "As a hitman, you should never dream that someone will save you."

"That won't happen. The things I taught you shouldn't be something I forget myself." He jumped back, and the four assassins that were waiting immediately followed.

"shallow mark?" Blood Killer suddenly opened his mouth.

Dazzling Spring raised his head to look at him and asked, "What is it?"

Xue Sha asked, "Both you and the hall master, do you have other plans?"

Dazzling Spring stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "You're overthinking it." He turned the hook in his hand and leisurely said, "I'm actually a little worried about Wen Qi Hua …"

Xue Sha looked down at the battle below and did not ask any further questions. He asked, "Will Wen Qihua be beaten to death by the young master?"

"I'm not sure, but it's possible."

Xue Sha clenched his fists. "I can only do my best."

He gave him a helpless look and said, "I'm going to rest. I'm going to replenish my energy."

Xue Sha replied, "Yes."

"Don't think too much into it. Relax. Maybe the situation isn't that bad yet. Maybe the reinforcements are on their way?"

A hint of a smile appeared in Xue Sha's eyes as he said, "As an assassin, you should never dream that someone will save you."

Dazhi laughed, "Right, just pretend I didn't say anything." Without wasting any more time, the few of them ran off.

The Magic Plume quickly returned. Seeing that Qian Jin was no longer there, it asked, "Did he go to rest?"

Xue Sha replied, "Yes."

The demonic insect nodded its head, indicating that it understood. It did not say anything else and just stood beside Xue Sha, watching the battle with a grave expression.

Dazzling Spring went to rest, and the Magic Poisonous and Blood Slaughter did not speak either. The rest of the killers were silent. Each of them hid in the treetop quietly, waiting for the hall master's order at all times.

The six assassins that were sent out after the Magic Poisonous Water had come back used up 50% of their physical strength and returned to the tree one after the other. The Magic Poisonous Water had also not sent out another killer.

The number of members of the Beggar Gang who had already been reduced by more than half was now reduced to less than thirty percent. Furthermore, 30% of the beggars were the most proficient in martial arts. If they were to leave, even if the Puppet Palace was unable to stop them, they wouldn't stop them.

Whether or not the remaining five Hall of Blood assassins could kill all of these people was not important. The number of people left in the Puppet Palace was far greater than they could handle. If this goes on... Xue Sha didn't dare to think too much about it. If these people were to die here, then the Poison Wine Hall's vitality would be greatly damaged, and it would even take nearly ten years to recover …

As an assassin of the Poison Hall, Xue Sha had long abandoned his fear of death, but he could not remain indifferent to the rise and fall of the Hall.

Xue Sha's fingers, which had been hidden in his sleeves, tightened. He wanted to speak, but when he saw the demonic poison's cold gaze, he swallowed his words and slowly took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

The Demon Poisonfeather's expression was indifferent, not because he was not anxious, but because he could not panic.

An assassin losing his cool was equivalent to abandoning his own life.

And what they shouldered on their shoulders, was no longer a matter of life and death, but the lives of dozens of assassins behind them, and even the future of the Medicine Hall.

He could not panic, he could not be afraid, he could not retreat.
