Chapter 571 Black-Clad Death Squad

"What you say is somewhat possible. I'll go to the palace to take a look."

His pupils contracted slightly, and Wen Xiang seemed to remember something. His expression changed immediately, and he patted Ye Ru on the shoulder, saying, "I'm leaving this to you. If you can find the murderer, you must bring him to justice. Otherwise, the palace will not be safe."

"I understand. Minister Wen, please go and check if there is anything amiss in the palace. I will take care of the murderer. Rest assured, since he dared to commit murder in my palace, he must pay the price."

Ye Ru nodded, then his face became more serious. He then flapped his wings and began patrolling in all directions.

Watching Ye Ru's departing figure, Prime Minister Wen strode towards the inner palace.

These things are undoubtedly due to the Left Prime Minister.

Only the Left Chancellor could possibly incite such assassins to commit violence in the palace.

However, even if they are fully aware of the situation, there is nothing they can do about it.

As Ye Ru walked through the palace, he kept a close eye on every place. But in a certain shadowy spot, he stopped flapping his wings and then slowly landed.

Ye Ru turned his gaze to the right, his eyes landing on the shadowy area. His gaze sharpened, and he slowly spoke:

"Come out. This palace is not a place where you can act recklessly. Come back with me, and perhaps we can be treated leniently."

The voice lingered there for a long time. After a while, footsteps slowly emerged from the shadows. The footsteps grew closer and closer until the person finally stepped out of the shadows and revealed their figure.

He was dressed in a black robe, exuding an aura of malice. He then slowly raised his head, his red eyes shooting out a chilling light that made people tremble.

This scene made Ye Ru's expression turn somewhat serious.

He had long known that the demon race had a special kind of assassins, all of whom were specially trained and possessed extremely strong endurance and vitality.

These demon warriors were primarily there to provide the demon race with supplies and money.

The demon race's development involved two main methods: exploiting its own resources and purchasing human materials, armor, and weapons from black market merchants.

After all, humans are the most intelligent beings on this Confucian and Taoist continent, and the weapons and armor they make are much better than those of the demon race.

Moreover, they were quite capable, basically at the level of Jinshi and Hanlin scholars.

They do not participate in the war between humans and demons, but only in assassination missions. Moreover, they are no different from humans in appearance, and even the Holy Academy can do nothing about them.

The only distinguishing feature they had was that their eyes turned red at night.

"Humph."

The black-clad assassin's eyes were filled with a chilling light as he stared intently at Ye Ru. The next moment, he moved like a sharp sword, hurtling towards Ye Ru.

This attack caused Ye Ru's expression to change.

Because this move possessed the power of a scholar of the Hanlin Academy.

"boom!"

In haste, Ye Ru clashed head-on with the black-clad assassin. Ye Ru channeled his powerful talent into the assassin's body through his palm, causing the assassin to grunt. Then, Ye Ru turned his palm, and the Three Absolute Literary Heart Brush appeared in his hand, along with a cluster of Netherfire.

Seeing that his palm strike had not caused much damage to Ye Ru, a look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the black-clad assassin, but the next moment his body gradually turned transparent.

Sensing this killing intent, Ye Ru's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly wrote:

"Viewed from the side, it's a range of peaks; viewed from the front, it's a single peak. Its appearance varies depending on distance, height, and perspective."

"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain."

The poem was completed in an instant, and the image of a heart appeared between Ye Ru's brows. The poem then quickly transformed into talent, eventually forming a phantom of a mountain that completely enveloped him.

As the illusory mountain shadow enveloped them, the attack from the black-clad assassins swept in instantly.

boom!

The attack struck the phantom of the mountain, and a recoil force blasted directly at the black-clad assassin.

In the blink of an eye, the black-clad assassin staggered back dozens of steps, his horror deepening.

"How is that possible? He's just a scholar! How could he possibly write such powerful verses?"

He had previously dealt with scholars with a single, decisive blow, and he had rarely encountered such extraordinary talent as this young man before him.

Now he understood that the reason the other party dared to come to him alone was because they had something to rely on!

"call."

Taking a deep breath, the black-clad assassin turned his hand, and a silver light blade appeared in his hand. The silver light blade emitted a flowing light and looked extremely cold under the moonlight.

"Now you can die."

With a hoarse voice, the black-clad assassin stomped his foot hard, and with a loud bang, he crashed into the spot where Ye Ru was in an instant.

His figure was like a shooting star, reaching Ye Ru's head in the blink of an eye.

Although the mountain's illusory form provided defense, however...

Under the attack of this silver light blade, the illusory mountain began to sway precariously under Ye Ru's horrified gaze.

"How can this silver light blade be so powerful!"

Ye Ru's heart was also filled with shock; it seemed that this was the opponent's true strength!

boom!

In just three strikes, the illusory mountain shattered completely, transforming into countless specks of starlight.

call out!

The silver blade, like a beam of light, pierced Ye Ru.

But the expected sound of blood splattering did not occur; Ye Ru's figure slowly became transparent and finally disappeared completely.

Seeing this, the black-clad assassin curled his lips into a mocking smile, and then kicked backward fiercely.

puff!

The sound of vomiting blood rang out, and Ye Ru's body flew backward, finally crashing heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough."

After coughing twice, Ye Ru stood up unsteadily. The opponent's attack was so powerful that even Yunshui Chanxin could not recover from it instantly.

"Now, use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve. Your talent is too great; our demon race cannot let you live."

The black-clad assassin's gaze turned cold. He knew that if Ye Ru were allowed to grow up, it would probably not be good for either them or the demon race.

"You're celebrating too soon."

He gave a disdainful smile, which made the expression of the black-clad assassin freeze instantly. The Emperor-Slaying Blade swept directly from the void and easily pierced the skin of the black-clad assassin.

However, just when Ye Ru thought he had hit the mark, the black-clad assassin severed his own arm and hurled the silver blade at him, which rapidly magnified in Ye Ru's eyes!

The speed of the silver light blade was so fast that Ye Ru had no time to react.

Just when Ye Ru thought he was about to die, the silver blade of light suddenly solidified three inches from his head, then exploded. At the same time, a chilling voice echoed throughout the world:

"Your Excellency has gone far too far in killing people on the territory of my Yanhuang Kingdom!"
