Creation of the Universe

The knife fell to the ground in the distance, making a "clang" sound, which was extremely harsh.

The assassin who escaped looked down at his right hand, then stretched out his left hand and pressed his wrist, a look of doubt in his eyes.

He didn't understand what had just happened. He could have easily killed the old man with one knife, but the knife was directly shaken away. Even his right hand was still numb and he had no strength at all.

This scene surprised everyone, especially the four accomplices behind the assassin, who were even more confused.

"What's wrong? You can't even hold a knife. I've told you many times not to drink before doing anything, you idiot!"

The leader among them was a tall man holding two whips, and he was cursing at his subordinates.

The assassin was speechless. He knew that he had never drunk any alcohol before he came to carry out the mission, but it was useless to explain it now. Besides, he couldn't give a more reasonable reason to explain what had just happened.

He was now feeling very embarrassed and also becoming angry.

"Damn you old man, I can crush you to death with my bare hands, just like crushing an ant!"

Seeing the assassin attacking again, Lao Huang himself didn't know what had just happened, but his determination to protect his master never wavered.

"Thank you for taking me in over the years, Master. I, Old Huang, will be leaving first!"

He shouted loudly, then closed his eyes, knowing that no matter how hard the stick in his hand was, it could not withstand the opponent's fists and kicks. His body was probably not strong enough to withstand even one blow.

As soon as he finished speaking, the assassin's palm wind was right in front of him. Old Huang waited for a while with the determination to die, but the palm that took his life did not fall for a long time.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and looked, only to find that the assassin's chest had a big hole cut by a knife, and blood was spurting out. In fact, it had already splashed all over his face, but he was too nervous and hardly felt anything.

When the assassin reluctantly reached the end, the remaining four assassins simultaneously took half a step back and looked at Lao Huang with strange eyes.

One of the assassins said, "Something's wrong. There's something strange about this old man!"

One of his accomplices immediately chimed in, "He's the Prime Minister's trusted confidant, but I'm afraid he's a hidden talent. Don't look at him as just a dying old man, he might actually be a master."

The leader heard what his men said and said viciously, "You two idiots! I can't sense any spiritual power from this old man, which means he has no cultivation at all. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will chop you down with a knife!"

After regaining their composure, the three assassins decided to act simultaneously. He was clearly just an old man with no power at all, and they didn't believe how he could deal with it.

So the three of them approached cautiously and surrounded Lao Huang. Now that he was imprisoned, Lao Huang's situation seemed to be on the edge of the abyss. It was really unknown whether he had any chance to escape danger.

However, no one noticed at this time that the Prime Minister's expression was normal, even calmer than before. He seemed indifferent to Lao Huang's life or death, or he simply did not believe that anyone could kill Lao Huang.

"What are you waiting for? He's just an old man. Let's go together!"

The three assassins attacked Lao Huang at the same time. They had learned from their accomplices' previous experience and were very cautious this time. While attacking, they also did not forget to be on guard against possible plots at any time, to ensure that they would hack Lao Huang to death this time.

However, they didn't expect that as soon as they approached Lao Huang, they were bounced away by an invisible force and were unable to get within three steps of Lao Huang.

This power makes it impossible for people to detect its existence, but when Lao Huang is in danger, it can suddenly exert its power. Even though the three assassins are prepared, they are still caught off guard.

After the three men fell down, Lao Huang checked himself in a panic. His hands, feet and head were still there, and he was completely unharmed.

"This...what's going on? Is there a god blessing us today?"

Old Huang muttered in confusion.

On the other hand, these assassins now unanimously believe that Lao Huang is the hidden master, otherwise there is no reason why he would make them so embarrassed.

Seeing this, the assassin leader couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. He had to complete the mission tonight. He thought it would be very easy, but he didn't expect to run into an unexpected tough guy.

But now that things had come to this, returning empty-handed was absolutely impossible, so the leader shouted a warning: "Cheer up, everyone! If we don't complete the mission, what will happen when we return? I believe I don't need to remind you, right?"

The three subordinates' faces turned pale immediately, as if they had thought of something terrible.

So they were driven by fear and attacked Lao Huang angrily with swords and sabers. However, at this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Lao Huang, blocking all the attacks and neutralizing them.

After a scream, three people fell to the ground, and before the assassin leader could react, the black shadow grabbed his throat tightly.

"You're so quick... Who are you?"

"My name is Shen Zhan."

"Shen Zhan! When did you come back?"

"Do I need to tell you this in advance?"

Shen Zhan increased the strength in his hands and asked, "Let me guess, you should be assassins trained by the palace, right?"

"I don't know anything, don't think I'll tell..."

Before the assassin leader could finish his words, Shen Zhan strangled the leader to death.

Among the three assassins who fell to the ground, there was still one who was still breathing. Seeing that his accomplices had been killed by Shen Zhan, he stood up desperately and fled far away. Shen Zhan did not chase him, but walked straight to the front of the prime minister.

"It seems that the Prime Minister's Mansion is not safe either. I will find a few trustworthy people to guard here."

The Prime Minister nodded. "It seems that Prince Jinning is determined to get rid of me this time. Otherwise, the guards outside the palace gate would not be able to be transferred. They can't just turn a blind eye to what's happening here."

"So the person who sent the assassin could only be King Jinning?"

"indeed."

Old Huang, who was standing by, was still in shock. It was only then that he suddenly realized, "Ah, I get it. It was you, the young master, who had been secretly protecting me. I kneel down and kowtow to you, young master!"

Shen Zhan reached out to support Old Huang and said, "You're welcome. I won't let a good person like you die at the hands of those villains. Besides, you were so brave just now. It's really admirable."

"You're joking, sir. I was actually so scared that I almost peed my pants!"

Old Huang burst into laughter, his face filled with joy at surviving the disaster.
