Clang!
The sharp impact stabbed painfully at Mosang's eardrums, but at that moment, it sounded like music from heaven!
A Soft Gold Vine had blocked that icy chill!
The guards beside Mosang reacted as well, their expressions changing drastically as they threw themselves in front of him without regard for their own lives.
"Watch out!" "Protect the city lord!"
Suddenly, one guard's eyes widened, and he pointed at an empty spot, shouting, "There!"
Before his voice faded, the seemingly empty space suddenly rippled like water, and the surrounding scenery took on an unreal quality.
Mosang's personal guards were all veterans of a hundred battles. Though fear gripped them, their hands did not hesitate. Every attack blasted toward that spot in a single rush!

Dirt flew everywhere. Under the full-force strikes of so many guards, a huge crater appeared in the ground!
The guards surrounded Mosang, their faces taut with tension. Their attacks had hit nothing at all. No wonder they were so nervous. An assassin who could turn invisible might not be the strongest assassin, but was undoubtedly the most nerve-racking! Every one of these guards was a formidable warrior on the battlefield, but dealing with such bizarre, unpredictable assassination attempts was clearly not their specialty!
Having narrowly escaped death, Mosang's legs still trembled, but his face remained utterly composed as he barked, "What are you panicking for?"
Mosang's composure quickly gave the guards an anchor, and they began searching hard for the assassin. There was nothing remarkable about their method: they simply plowed every inch of empty space around them with fierce attacks. At the slightest sign of movement, the Flexible Assassins standing ready nearby would unleash their full firepower!
It was a clumsy method, but undoubtedly an effective one.
Mosang felt somewhat reassured and turned his gaze
