Mukang Village is a very remote mountain village in Mingyue Prefecture. Except for the hundreds of families who were born and raised here, few people usually pass by it.
The villagers lived a day of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, plain and contented.
But the peaceful days of the villagers were finally broken on this day. A group of aggressive guys gave them some money and drove them all away, saying that they would rent their village for seven days.
Forced by the opponent's strength, the villagers had no choice but to move their families to the back mountains.
Just seven days. These people didn't hurt anyone, they also gave them some food, and a lot of money that they couldn't spend in a lifetime. So what if they hide for seven days?
By the time the masked man Hammer arrived at Mukang Village with more than 20 brothers, there was no one in the whole village, and everything was in a mess and dilapidated state.
Chickens and ducks were running around looking for food, and the pigs in the pig pen fell on the ground. They probably hadn't eaten for many days.
The dogs were also so hungry that they ran around barking and pounced on chickens and ducks when they saw them.
Everything shows that the people here have been gone for many days.
However, Hammer, who has a keen sense, does not think that the person they are looking for is no longer here. If this is the case, there is no need for the villagers to hide.
Since the villagers haven't come out yet, that person must have been afraid that the villagers would reveal his whereabouts, so he hid all the villagers somewhere.
Hammer was very confident in his judgment and asked his companions to search for clues in the village.
Sure enough, after searching for most of the day, they finally found a very hidden cave entrance under the broken stove in an extremely remote abandoned house.
The entrance to the cave was recently dug, and the soil around it has not been tidied up yet, which proves this.
"Search!" Hammer gave the order, and ten companions rushed in from the entrance of the cave and entered this hidden tunnel.
Hammer was very careful, leaving the other half of the people behind to avoid being plotted and annihilating the whole army. As long as there were ten people there, even if the opponent was the pinnacle figure of the Seven Holy Lands, they would have a chance to escape together. This was the source of Hammer's confidence.
So the hammer calmly stayed outside and waited for the news inside.
As soon as the ten masked men entered the cave, they immediately took out their fluorescent pink emergency lights and looked around clearly.
This tunnel was dug very poorly and in a hurry, with dirt, mud and rocks everywhere left behind. There was only one road ahead, not even a branching road to confuse people.
The masked men chose to move on without hesitation, and they walked very fast.
The tunnel was very narrow and could only accommodate three people at most, so ten people could not move forward side by side. Therefore, the ten people formed a straight line and rushed forward quickly.
No one realized that when they were only a few dozen meters forward, the person running at the rear was caught in the mouth by a sudden black shadow from behind, and his throat was cut with a dagger.
This dark shadow comes silently, kills silently, and leaves silently.
So much so that no one expected that their ten people had turned into nine.
This tunnel was inexplicably long, and it was all the same way forward. The masked man who rushed at the front felt that he had run countless thousands of meters, but the tunnel still did not reach the end.
At this time, he subconsciously looked up, and his heart suddenly felt as cold as winter.
That's where they came in. They went around in countless circles and finally returned to their original place!
Then, this guy quickly realized that it was not that they had made countless circles, but that he had made countless circles.
Because, he discovered very sadly that there was no one around him or behind him!
Previously, in order to avoid alerting others, these specially trained people had all restrained their soul power, even their footsteps were so light that no one could hear them.
Unexpectedly, this became the direct reason for him to become a polished commander.
What's even more frightening is that the enemy can kill nine of his companions silently without him even realizing it!
The first reaction of this masked man was to escape immediately, escape, return to the main army, and return to the broad daylight. He did not believe that the enemies hiding in the dark dared to come to them in the open.
Unfortunately, he knew that he had no chance to escape.
A dagger stabbed into his back vest silently, and the dagger still contained venom. The venom instantly passed through his blood, paralyzing him all over, and he fell to the ground before he even had time to grunt.
A black figure drew out a dagger and replaced the mask on the man's face and all the clothes on his body.
At this time, nine other masked men came over from two directions at the same time.
No more, no less, just ten of them.
Hammer waited outside a little impatiently, but the time had only passed for about ten minutes, so it was normal for him to receive no reply.
However, Hammer's heart soon calmed down, and the ten brothers came back.
"Scissors, have you found Xiao Canglang?" Hammer asked in vain, because there was no living person or body of Xiao Canglang behind or on the hands of those ten brothers.
Scissors shook his head and said nothing.
"No..." Hammer was a little disappointed: "Then let's look elsewhere."
When Hammer turned around, he glanced casually and inadvertently saw that the back of Ax's clothes was a little red.
Out of instinct for danger, Hammer flew forward a hundred meters away without looking back!
When Hammer turned around, he was shocked to find that the ten brothers standing outside with him had all died under the daggers of the ten masked men who had just come out!
A dagger is deadly, very professional, even more professional than a hammer.
Hammer knew that if he didn't escape, he would never have a chance again.
Not caring about any brotherly friendship, Hammer ran wildly and rushed all the way to the entrance of the village.
A man stood at the entrance of the village, blocking the hammer's path.
"You're just a yellow-level guy, but you dare to block the way in front of me?" Hammer was so angry that he flew forward without saying a word and punched the man in the face!
Simple, direct, and effective, this is what Hammer and the others have been trained to do.
At this moment, the stimulated Hammer exerted his physical strength to the extreme. This punch without any soul power, just based on its speed and the hardness of the fist, was enough to blast any stubborn stone into powder!
Unfortunately, his fist stopped one meter in front of the guy blocking the way.
The same dagger pierced the hammer's back vest, causing the hammer to lose all its power in an instant, not even having the strength to loosen its fist.
The expression on Hammer's face hidden under the mask could not be clearly seen, but his eyes completely exposed his inner feelings at this time.
Panic, helplessness, fear, and a little bit...
incredible.
"I am the Xiao Canglang you are looking for." The guy blocking the road walked up to the hammer with a cold face: "You can die in peace."
Hammer only felt that the dagger behind his back was piercing into his body again. This was his last consciousness.
Ten masked men walked up to "Xiao Canglang" Ling Xiao, knelt down and saluted Ling Xiao very respectfully: "Meet the leader."
Ling Xiao waved his hand and said coldly: "Thank you for your hard work. Let's all go back to the Seven Demons Sect."
"Yes, leader." The ten people left without any unnecessary words, leaving Ling Xiao standing alone at the entrance of the village.
For Ling Xiao, more than a year ago, these masked men were so unfathomable and so difficult to defeat. But now, he can take care of any one of them by himself.
It seems that their leader Shen Nanfeng is not as invincible as he thought before.
Moreover, Ling Xiao now finally has a certain amount of power in his hands, and this power is the killer that Ling Xiao asked Elder Qing to secretly train in the Seven Demons Sect.
Those killers were all Qing-level assassins trained by Ling Xiao by Elder Qing using the assassination skills of the Black Brothers. They were originally assassins in the Seven Demons Cult, and with the assassination skills of the Black Brothers, they were able to do it in a short time. Within a short period of time, he was trained to become a top chain soul master killer.
These killers belong to Ling Xiao alone and do not belong to the current Seven Demons Sect.
As long as it is not on the territory of Luofeng Valley, except for Shen Nanfeng coming personally, Ling Xiao has absolute confidence that as many people as come to Luofeng Valley will die!
And the current action is just a warning to Luofeng Valley.
"I don't know how Elder Qing is doing in Xiaoganshan Village. The martial arts competition and marriage competition should be almost over, right? It's time to go back to Wanzhu City to have a look."
Ling Xiao turned around and left, heading in the direction of Wanzhu City.
Some dim sunlight illuminated the twenty-one corpses placed at the entrance of the village. The conflict between sunlight and death gave this scene a shocking and weird feeling.
