Assassin Wu Liuqi starts with a bull and horse talisman and smashes Red Fang.

The Imperial Palace of Xuanwu Kingdom.

In the Imperial Garden.

The King of Xuanwu sat in the pavilion, with exquisite pastries and fruits in front of him, and maids serving him on both sides.

He was picking up a grape with his hand, but his expression was somewhat serious.

He could feel the power of Gu Qianhan's sword strike earlier.

He entered the Dao through the sword, and mastered the Dao of the sword.

He can be described as a true master of swordsmanship!

Since the epic war more than twenty years ago, Xuanwu Kingdom has not produced a true supreme being for many years.

This should have been a good thing.

But then he realized something was wrong.

By observing the map of Xuanwu Kingdom presented by the eunuch, it was discovered that the location where the power of this sword strike was unleashed was actually the location of the Flying Bird Gate!

He immediately issued an imperial decree to summon his commander-in-chief of the Golden Armored Imperial Guards.

After the Grand Commander's attempts to communicate via telepathy failed, he quickly bowed to the King of Xuanwu Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, I have been unable to contact that scoundrel Shiratori."

"I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

The King of Xuanwu simply waved his hand in response.

"That guy is probably dead."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Commander couldn't help but show a look of shock.

"Your Majesty, although that white bird was of mediocre talent, it was still modified by the Blood Demon."

"Even if he's not the strongest, he's still stronger than Red Fang, the former Shadow Assassin who also uses the Blood Demon Technique."

"Moreover, he also possesses the golden armor token bestowed by His Majesty, and is the leader of one of the major sects in our Xuanwu Kingdom."

"Who are you, scoundrel, daring to act so presumptuously?"

The King of Xuanwu chuckled at this.

"Do you really think that just because you possess the golden armor token bestowed upon you by me, all the people of Xuanwu Kingdom will fear you?"

"Has the Grand Commander forgotten how my blind sorcerer died?"

"You saw the horrific state of his body when it was discovered."

At this point, the King of Xuanwu looked at the Grand Commander with a half-smile.

The latter nodded as if enlightened.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. Perhaps the one who killed the White Bird this time is the same thief who killed the Eyeless Mage that day!"

Just then, the deputy commander of the Golden Armored Guards rushed over with two of his men.

The three of them immediately knelt down.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, and greetings to the Grand Commander."

"We were ordered to secretly go to the Flying Bird Gate, but it no longer exists."

The King of Xuanwu continued eating fruit with his eyes slightly closed, while the Grand Commander beside him frowned slightly.

"Did that person slaughter the entire Flying Bird Sect?"

Upon hearing the commander-in-chief's words, the deputy commander-in-chief shook his head.

"more than."

The King of Xuanwu laughed upon hearing this.

"Oh?"

"Tell me."

The deputy commander continued to kneel on the ground and speak.

"My subordinates rode flying magical beasts to speed up our journey, and we have arrived at the location of the Flying Bird Gate."

"Not only Fei Niao Men, but all the nearby villages and towns have disappeared."

"In its place was a dark, bottomless sinkhole, tens of kilometers in diameter!"

Upon hearing this, the King of Xuanwu Kingdom opened his slightly closed eyes, and the Grand Commander beside him stared wide-eyed in shock.

"You...what did you say?!"

"A diameter of tens of kilometers?!"

The three people kneeling in response nodded in agreement.

"It is absolutely true, I dare not speak falsely."

Upon hearing this, the president couldn't help but swallow hard, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

"This……"

"The supreme master of swordsmanship is truly terrifying..."

The King of Xuanwu Kingdom, however, did not seem to care much about this.

"Hehe, it's worth it for that blind guy to die at the hands of the supreme swordsman of my Xuanwu Kingdom."

After saying this, the King of Xuanwu looked at the few people whose faces were pale.

"Why, are you scared?"

"The Sword Master's strength is undoubtedly outstanding."

"But the martial arts world is not a battlefield."

"His sword will become dull, his body will be injured, and his internal energy will be depleted."

"However, my armored soldiers will advance relentlessly until they crush him into a pulp!"

"Sword Master, if three hundred men cannot subdue him, then I will send three thousand! Thirty thousand!! Three hundred thousand!!!"

"Every living being, regardless of its race, gets tired, and if it gets tired, it will be worn down to death!"

"Even the mighty Heaven and Earth Rakshasa was ultimately annihilated by a group of people. The Blood Demon was devoured by us and became the nourishment I used to cultivate you!"

Human strength has its limits.

"But my golden-armored guards are endless."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Commander cautiously inquired.

"Your Majesty, should we then punish this person?"

The King of Xuanwu smiled and shook his head at this.

“Killing is possible, but doing so will inevitably weaken the power of my Xuanwu Kingdom.”

“The Kingdom of Ster is eyeing us covetously, and I do not wish to see that happen.”

After saying this, the King of Xuanwu Kingdom pondered for a moment.

"Issue my decree."

"Spread the word throughout the streets and alleys of the Xuanwu Kingdom that our supreme swordsman is the greatest in the Xuanwu Kingdom, and make all the people worship him."

"As for Shiratori and his Flying Bird Sect, they're gone, so be it. I don't care."

"Compared to a master who comes along only once in a century, a mere small sect is not worth mentioning."

At this point, he looked at the Grand Commander beside him.

“I have a hunch that this person might be related to the nine-star alignment predicted by the Imperial Advisor.”

"Even if he wasn't the one who caused the alignment of the nine stars, if we could recruit him, he could help us fight against the monster that caused such a great calamity as the alignment of the nine stars."

Upon hearing the words of the King of Xuanwu, the commander of the Golden Armored Guards also knelt down.

"Your Majesty is holy."

"How magnificent is my Xuanwu Empire!"

As he finished speaking, the deputy commander and the two golden-armored guards also shouted.

"How magnificent is my Xuanwu Empire!!"

...............

a few days later.

Two figures appeared outside a secret building in Xuanwu Kingdom.

The newcomers were none other than the masked assassin leader and his mechanical female attendant.

The guards responsible for protecting this place are the silver-armored imperial guards of the Xuanwu Kingdom.

Although they were just silver-armored guards, their strength was not to be underestimated.

In the words of the King of Xuanwu Kingdom, these five-man teams of silver-armored guards could hold their own against the leaders of some sects.

And here, there were actually hundreds of silver-armored guards deployed both openly and secretly!

This is simply because it was a training ground for assassins jointly established by the Xuanwu Kingdom's royal family and an assassin organization.

The animals housed here are mostly orphans from all over Xuanwu Kingdom.

They were taken in here for only one purpose: to train them to become royal guards or assassins for an assassin organization.

At this moment, the assassin leader, accompanied by the female mechanical messenger, entered the building without hindrance and watched the battle unfolding below from their elevated position.

"This boy did a good job."

Upon hearing this, the commander of the silver-armored guards, who was in charge of both receiving and supervising him, nodded.

"The assassin leader is absolutely right. This child is the most cold-blooded and bloodthirsty one I have ever seen."

"Whether it's explosive power, reaction speed, or the decisiveness in taking action, they are the strongest in this batch."

Upon hearing this, the assassin leader looked at the fighting youths below and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"It seems that this experiment was quite successful."

"As agreed before, remember to report his achievements to the royal family in a less favorable light."

"I will take this boy back to the assassin organization."
