Ambushed (2)

"You..." Athena gritted her teeth and held back. Of course, what could she do if she couldn't hold back? Fight her? Even a hundred of her couldn't beat her.

The Fox Tribe is inherently weak. Although Athena is a martial artist, she is only a level three martial artist. She can deal with ordinary people, but she has no way to deal with slightly stronger opponents.

For the Fox Tribe to rise to prominence, besides becoming a wise man, they must become Moon Priestess, a profession similar to a magician. Legend has it that a powerful Moon Priestess can also contend with Heaven-Rank Expert.

However, such Moon Priestess are very rare, and they still cannot change their frail physique, making them easy targets for assassination.

"Boom!"

While Ye Lang was buying things, a loud noise came from another side. That area seemed to be within the administrative district and was a key part of the Tiger Tribe.

"Hey, who's playing with fireworks in broad daylight?" Ye Lang looked up and saw a signal flare shooting into the sky.

"Oh no! Father has been attacked!! Young Master, I'll go check first, you be careful..." Tiger Girl immediately darted out when she saw the signal flare, moving so fast that she left a trail of afterimages.

The signal flare indicated that the clan leader was in danger. As his daughter, how could Tiger Girl not worry about her father? No wonder she was so anxious. However, despite her anxiety, she had given Ye Lang a safe explanation.

Tiger Girl's original intention was for Ye Lang to stay here and not go near dangerous places. With so many people here and Athena taking care of him, she believed Ye Lang was safe.

In fact, it would be quite safe for Ye Lang to stay here, since he wasn't the target.

However, Tiger Girl's way of speaking led Ye Lang to misunderstand. If she had simply told Ye Lang to wait there, Ye Lang probably would have stayed and continued browsing the market.

In any case, it didn't seem to matter to Ye Lang whether he went or not. With so many experts from the Tiger Clan, plus Tiger Girl, they could definitely handle any sudden attack.

The problem is that Tiger Girl said she would go and take a look first, so Ye Lang's understanding was that since Tiger Girl went first, he should go and take a look later!

So, Ye Lang and Xiao Rui started running!

"?! Young master, wait..." Athena called out immediately when she saw Ye Lang running away. She understood what Tiger Girl meant; she wanted Ye Lang to stay away from dangerous places.

After spending time with Ye Lang, Athena had also grown fond of him. She didn't want Ye Lang to get close to danger and felt that the people over there could handle the situation.

At that time, Athena wanted to catch up with Ye Lang and stop him, but she was surprised to find that Ye Lang was impossible to catch up with, at least she was impossible to catch up with.

Ye Lang is running way too fast!!

"Young Master..."

Athena, a third-rate martial artist, could never catch up with Ye Lang. Soon, Ye Lang disappeared from her sight, and she had no choice but to continue chasing.

Although Ye Lang disappeared without a trace, she knew that Ye Lang destination was the administrative district.

At this moment, in the administrative district, the chieftain of the Tiger Clan was holding his chest with one hand, staring fiercely at a man in black not far away. The chieftain's condition clearly indicated that he was injured.

The man in black wore a black mask that covered his head, leaving only his eyes and mouth exposed, making it impossible to determine his race.

The man in black was not particularly tall or thin; he was of average build, the kind of physique that you wouldn't notice in a crowd.

"Who are you, and what is your purpose?!" the Tiger Tribe Chief asked angrily, staring at the man in black.

Recalling what had just happened, the Tiger Tribe Chief was still somewhat confused. The black-clad man's appearance was too sudden, completely without warning, as if he had appeared out of thin air.

The moment the man in black appeared, the clan leader had already been struck in the chest by a sharp weapon. If he hadn't unleashed his Battle Qi to defend himself in the moment of crisis, the weapon would have pierced his heart, and he would have died instantly.

Although he didn't know who this man in black was, he was certain that he was a top-notch expert and a skilled assassin.

"You should worry about yourself. Who I am is not important. What's important is that I'm here to take your life!" The man in black flicked his long sword and said coldly.

"Do you think you can still take my life in this situation?" the Tiger Tribe Chief said breathlessly. At this moment, the man in black was already surrounded by the Tiger Clan guards, and he should be trying to escape.

"You were lucky to have dodged it, but I also calculated that you might escape, so it has no effect on me! Take this..." After saying that, the man in black swung his sword straight at the Tiger Tribe Chief, completely ignoring the Tiger Clan guards beside him.

"Roar!"

With a roar, several Tiger Clan guards jumped out to surround and kill the man in black, while also protecting the Tiger Tribe Chief. These guards were no ordinary people; each one was a master, and there were so many of them.

These experts are a headache for many people. Even if the Sword Saint came, he wouldn't think about killing the Tiger Tribe Chief when faced with so many experts. Instead, he would think about how to escape from here.

However, the man in black unexpectedly wanted to continue. This was definitely not because he was confused. If he were confused, he would not have appeared here, nor would he have been able to injure the Tiger Tribe Chief.

This wasn't an act of impulse; you could see a kind of calmness in him, a calmness that was frightening!

If he wasn't confused or acting impulsively, then it means he was confident that he could kill the Tiger Tribe Chief in front of so many people, or perhaps he had another, unknown purpose.

A flash of sword light!

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

The Tiger Clan guards who surrounded them let out a scream as a long wound appeared on their bodies, from which bright red blood quickly oozed.

"!!"

The Tiger Tribe Chief and the others stared wide-eyed. No one had expected that the guards would be dealt with in an instant, and that they wouldn't even see how the other party made the move.

These guards, while not top-tier experts, were not ordinary fighters either. Yet, they were easily defeated in a single exchange. It's unbelievable!

"Send the signal!"

The Tiger Clan guards acted decisively. Upon seeing the situation, they immediately sent another distress signal, while simultaneously shrinking their protective perimeter to safeguard their chieftain.

Although we don't know the extent of this man in black's strength, we can at least be certain that he has reached a terrifying level. We must be careful and not underestimate him.

These guards have to hold out and wait for the Tiger Clan's experts to arrive!
