Chapter 1108

After being blocked a few times, a black-clad man flew into a rage, drew his blade, and roared furiously at the remaining martial artists.

"Luo Wang?"

"This is the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty — one of only two intelligence agencies."

"Compared to the Black Ice Terrace, Luo Wang is even more saturated with assassins."

"For intelligence, for achieving their objectives, and so on, they will casually slaughter people until the fields are filled with corpses."

"It can be said that in Great Qin, even across the Nine Provinces, Luo Wang is synonymous with terror."

"Now that these black-clad men had revealed their identities, the previously frenzied martial artists all gave a start of fright."

"They no longer dared to push their way toward the Baozangzhi Sect."

""Luo Wang?""

Hearing Gai Nie furrowed his brow deeply, finding it strange.

He was already Great Qin's number one wanted criminal — why had none of these Luo Wang assassins recognized him?

""Hmph! Chase them, quickly!""

Seeing that even the Six Ghosts of the Yellow River had stopped their interception, the leader, puffed up with self-importance, gave a great wave of his hand.

A group of suspected Luo Wang black-clad assassins immediately shoved aside the martial artists blocking the path, plunged into the void vortex, and vanished.

""Boss, what do we do? Old Six alone can't handle this many people!""

The Six Ghosts of the Yellow River were truly in a dilemma now, retreating to one side and watching as this large group of Luo Wang assassins charged in.

Old Two whispered to Huang Laosi.

Huang Laosi was equally torn.

Setting aside the importance of the Fire Monkey, just the sworn-brother bond among the Six Ghosts of the Yellow River alone meant he could not sit idly by while Old Six was besieged.

But now this squad of black-clad men had revealed their identities — they were Luo Wang people.

Recalling Luo Wang's fearsome reputation across the Nine Provinces, who would dare openly make an enemy of Luo Wang?

""Don't worry! I will keep her safe.""

Just at this moment, a voice rang out beside the ears of the Six Ghosts of the Yellow River.

The few of them heard it and immediately knew this was Hearing Gai Nie.

Both startled and delighted, they looked over.

They saw Hearing Gai Nie, who had shown no movement until now, already flickering through the air as he charged toward the void vortex!

With Hearing Gai Nie making a move, this squad of Luo Wang assassins was no match for him, no matter what!

The delight of Huang Laosi and the others was written all over their faces.

""Excellent!""

Old Two was so excited he couldn't help leaping up.

Just at that moment, the Luo Wang assassins noticed Hearing Gai Nie's movement.

""Who are you, to dare meddle with Luo Wang's affairs? Are you truly unafraid of death?""

Several black-clad assassins, seeing Hearing Gai Nie suddenly appear before them, immediately began cursing and swearing.

Hearing Gai Nie paid them no heed at all; his figure moved again, bypassing several more Luo Wang assassins, drawing ever closer to the void vortex.

""Seeking death…""

Watching Hearing Gai Nie hurtle toward the void vortex at high speed, the nearest black-clad assassin immediately, recklessly, struck out at Hearing Gai Nie.

Luo Wang assassins are divided into: Heaven, Kill, Earth, and Oblivion!

Among them, Heaven-rank is the highest; every Heaven-rank assassin is a renowned master in the jianghu.

For example, Sun-Splitter Wang Ben and Dark Edge — the two of them are already Heaven-Path Gold List-level masters.

But Heaven-rank assassins, whether of noble status or of great strength, generally do not easily show their faces.

Those moving about the jianghu are more often Kill-rank assassins.

These Kill-rank assassins are not only formidable in strength, but also stop at nothing to achieve their objectives.

When tasked with assassinating someone, whether by poison or by scheme — as long as the mission can be completed, they will not hesitate to sell even themselves.

Every Kill-rank assassin has more blood on their hands than can be counted.

In this deep valley within the heart of the Desolate Wilds Mountains, the level of this squad of black-clad assassins was unknown.

But when several of them struck together, their blade techniques interweaving brilliantly, they not only sealed off Hearing Gai Nie's path forward.

They even blocked his retreat.

Clearly, since Hearing Gai Nie meant to step forward, these Luo Wang assassins were not sparing with killing either!

""Get lost…""

Hearing Gai Nie gave a light shout; his long sword did not leave its sheath, he merely thrust with the sheathed blade.

Casually, he employed a subtle sword technique from the Ghost Valley Vertical Sword Art.

The densely packed blade techniques that had sealed off Hearing Gai Nie's path instantly crumbled to nothing after that thrust.

Before the Luo Wang assassins could even register shock, Hearing Gai Nie lightly flicked his wrist.

The sheathed sword suddenly thrust out in rapid succession, stabbing out over a dozen times in an instant.

Every thrust was aimed at the vital acupoints on the wrists of the dozen or so nearby Luo Wang assassins.

Before the sword arrived, sword Qi had already reached them.

With the vital acupoints on their wrists struck, naturally they could no longer hold onto their weapons no matter what.

Clatter after clatter — they all dropped to the ground.

""Th-this…""

The Luo Wang assassins exchanged glances, all feeling only a blur before their eyes, a numbness in their wrists, and then being unable to hold onto their blades and swords.

"Who are you… How dare you…"

The leader assassin wearing a bamboo hat hurried over at this moment.

Seeing Gai Nie drop the weapons of over a dozen of his subordinates in a single move, he was both furious and terrified.

Just as he was about to invoke the Luo Net again to force this expert to back down,

He did not expect that after catching a glimpse of Gai Nie's profile, this leader assassin suddenly awoke to the truth,

"You are Gai Nie…"

The Luo Net assassins, hearing that this man was precisely the Qin Empire's number one wanted criminal, stirred in their hearts, and were instantly overcome with dread.

Able to disarm over a dozen companions in a single move—this Gai Nie truly lived up to his reputation as the Qin imperial court's foremost swordsman.

Their hearts uneasy beyond measure, they unconsciously put some distance between themselves and Gai Nie.

"…"

Gai Nie was instantly at a loss for words; he hadn't expected these Luo Net assassins to only just now recognize him.

Without waiting for this leader assassin, he arrived beside the void vortex, leapt up, and his body had already plunged in.

With Gai Nie vanishing into the void vortex, these Luo Net assassins let out an inexplicable sigh of relief.

"Boss, do we still pursue?"

Seeing Gai Nie disappear, a Luo Net assassin came to the leader assassin's side and asked for instructions.

The Luo Net, as a sharp blade of the Qin imperial court, would clearly pursue someone like Gai Nie, the Qin Empire's number one wanted criminal, to the very end.

But the skill Gai Nie had just displayed made the Luo Net assassins present all understand—

A Gai Nie like this, unless the Luo Net's high command stepped in personally, with only people like themselves, they were probably no match for Gai Nie to kill.

"Pursue? Pursue my ass…"

Though the leader assassin's face was covered by a light veil, everyone present could see his dejection.

"What about the Fire Monkey?"

Although he had suffered a setback, this Luo Net assassin still reminded him once more,

"This is the Zhongche Fu…"

"Shut up!"

The leader assassin flew into a rage, cutting off the words this assassin was about to say next.

His gaze sharp and fierce, he swept it around once, then waved his hand grandly,

"Pursue! Swear you'll get that Fire Monkey back for me!"

"Yes…"

Seeing this, the Luo Net assassins could only accept the order unwillingly and continue throwing themselves into the void vortex.
