The black-robed assassin's martial cultivation was terrifying, and his methods of killing made people tremble. Even the Marquis Mansion's chief guard at the seventh level of the Worldly Detachment Realm had been slain, his blood splashing five steps away, chilling everyone to the bone.
The Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion guards were all well-trained martial artists who had been tempered on the battlefield and possessed strong nerves. Though they had been badly frightened, not one of them dared to flee.
"As expected of guards trained by the Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion. They really are different from those of other families." Second Brother grinned.
If a Gold-Rank Assassin from Dark Emperor City appeared in another sect or martial manor, merely showing himself would make countless martial artists tremble and scatter in flight. Although the Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion guards were also terrified, they did not run. This showed that the Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion maintained strict discipline in its troops.
"No matter how lawless Dark Emperor City may be, if they dare to break into the Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion, they are courting death." An aged voice rang out from deep within the Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion, laden with fury, as a massive hand seal struck through the air.
Second Brother and Seventh Brother turned solemn. They gripped their sabers with both hands as Martial Dao Profound Qi condensed over their bodies, forming Profound Qi Armor.
An expert of the Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion had made a move!
Though Dark Emperor City's influence intimidated the world and cowed all directions, the Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion was no pushover either.
Dark Emperor City had sent six Gold-Rank Assassins to the Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion to assassinate Ning Xiaochuan precisely because they knew how powerful the mansion was, with experts as plentiful as clouds.
