At this moment, no one could calm down.
Whether it was the eight three star Armed Escort s or Ji Fengying and Yang Yuyao who climbed out of the dilapidated flying carriage while trembling, all of them were the same.
This was because this person was simply too unbelievable.
From the moment he had chopped off the chains on the flying carriage to when he had pulled the flying sedan chair down to when he had quietly avoided the mental detection of everyone, appearing strangely in the forest. All of this was not something that ordinary Star Swallowing Stage practitioners could do.
Even though the eight three star Armed Escort s had rich experience in battle and as Universe Escort Office s, it was still the first time they had seen such a scene today.
Because they had never met such a strong person!
Until now, they still could not feel a single trace of aura from this ghost-masked man. This was the most terrifying thing.
This was because the more unknown they were, the more terrifying they would feel. They constantly tried to figure out how high this person's cultivation base was, but they were unable to do so.
But no matter what, everyone knew that this person definitely had an ulterior motive. Just his ferocious ghost-mask had already hinted at this person's killing intent!
Although the bronze masked man in front of them looked like a normal person, but when they saw the ghost face hidden in the shadows, they already felt that he was even more terrifying than those Royal Vicious Beast. They did not dare to let down their guard, and they all released their auras.
As for Ji Fengying and the other two girls who had just climbed out of the flying palanquin, their hair was already dishevelled as they awkwardly hid behind the flying palanquin.
"All of you Armed Escort s, attack! Charge! "Beat the one with the ghost face to death, I'll pay you two times the price, do you hear me?!"
Hiding behind the flying carriage, Ji Fengying shouted out an order to suppress the fear in her heart, but her voice couldn't help but tremble.
"Miss Ji, please be at ease. Naturally …" "That's right."
One of the Armed Escort s did not turn his head, but stared straight at the ghost-masked man in front of him. Due to the darkness of the night, it was difficult to see him, but cold sweat was already seeping out of his forehead.
Not only him, but the other seven Armed Escort s were the same as well.
But at this moment, they couldn't retreat at all, because with every mission that came along with Universe Escort Office, if they failed, they would have to accept punishment. If they were to send an employer on a mission like this, where their employer was not properly protected, they would have to bear a great responsibility. The lightest case would be losing money and cultivation resources for the next year, while the most serious case would be being kicked out of the Universe Escort Office, unable to return.
Not only that, but he would also have to pay huge amounts of compensation, and he might even get retaliated against by his employer's closest kin.
And within the Barbarian Imperial Region, the competition was extremely intense. Cultivating was like moving against the current, one could retreat if one did not advance. If one fell behind in cultivating like this, one would have no future.
Therefore, it was simply impossible to escape from these eight three star Armed Escort s of the Universe Escort Office.
Since they were already here, it was impossible for them to escape. Furthermore, even if the Ghost Face was powerful, with the combined power of the eight of them, the Ghost Face black-clothed man might not even be able to withstand it, and do not forget, previously, even if the eight of them worked together, they still managed to kill the super Vicious Beast of the fourth level of the Emperor Level, the Blood Thunder Vulture, and even took away its heart and other treasures.
This time, if they were able to kill the bronze masked man in front of them, perhaps they would be able to obtain even more.
As the saying goes, disaster should be relied on, and fortune should be relied on. Who could set the end for this incident?
"Sir, although we don't know why you want to target our three employers, if you want to take a step forward, don't blame us for being impolite!"
The tall and skinny Three Star Armed Escort snorted coldly, his aura incredibly powerful as he suppressed the bronze masked man in front of him. The other seven Stellar Genuine Qi s released their pressure as well, causing the plants around the bronze masked man to tremble crazily, and even started to crack.
However, within a three meter radius from the bronze masked man, nothing happened.
The bronze masked man slowly turned his head, looking at tall-and-thin man, a kind of inexplicable throbbing made tall-and-thin man's heart tremble, at that moment, he felt as if his soul was frozen, before he could react, the voice of the black clothed man came from below:
"Don't worry, I won't take a step forward."
It was a male voice.
To be exact, it was a man's voice that was like the spring breeze.
But after carefully savoring the words just now, he felt as if the spring breeze carried an unapproachable coldness that was a thousand miles away. Or rather, that coldness itself did not carry the slightest emotion, was not a threat, was not cold, was only because it was heartless and cold, yet also felt incomparably distant in the depths of that coldness.
"That's good. If you give us Universe Escort Office face, then we will naturally be grateful."
The eight three star Armed Escort s in front of them never expected that the bronze masked man in front of them would actually have such a voice.
He originally thought that his voice would be as sinister and hoarse as a ghost's face, but he didn't expect that this voice was completely out of place with his strange appearance.
"And no need to be grateful."
The bronze masked man's voice sounded again, "Because if you want to take someone's head, you don't need to walk."
"These three people are the descendants of the three great noble families of Tianmu City: Ji Fengying, Yang Yuyao and Yue Wu, all of whom are beloved by the clan, doted upon by tens of thousands of people, yet still have families protecting them even though their talents are shallow." These three people are the descendants of the three great noble families of Tianmu City: Ji Fengying, Yang Yuyao, and Yue Wu.
The Ghost Face's voice was very calm and it was still as refreshing as spring wind, but it was also still as ruthless, without any sort of happiness, anger, or sorrow mixed in.
Ji Fengying, who was hiding behind the flying car, was shocked. She didn't look back, but leaned on the flying car and asked, "How did you know? You... And why, why would you want to kill me? "
Ji Fengying didn't tell anyone her purpose for coming here. Even the people from the Universe Escort Office didn't know.
But this Ghost Face knew!
"Because you are born in the Imperial Family, and the people of the Imperial Family all deserve to die."
These words finally gave off some emotional fluctuations, as if they carried a faint sense of hostility, and most of it was a statement of this fact.
"With how you are, you are really going against us!" A few three star Armed Escort s in front were eyeing him covetously, releasing their Stellar Genuine Qi outside. The Star Aperture seemed to be breathing as it flickered, emitting a strong killing intent as it pounced towards the ghost mask, "If I'm not wrong, you are an assassin, and also a powerful assassin! But the existence of Universe Escort Office is precisely to resist against a lawless evil force like you. The evil will eventually disperse and the righteous will last forever! "
The evil will eventually disappear, and the righteous will last forever!
These words were the most important vow made to all Armed Escort when they were given their titles.
Any person, item, as long as they had their protection, would be safely delivered. Moreover, their two greatest enemies were the Vicious Beast in the Wilderness, and the second, the assassins who had hidden their names and were wanted by the people on the black market for a high price.
Without the protection of the escort company, many people would be easily killed. Then the world would be thrown into chaos. This was the reason why a new force like the escort company was born seven hundred years ago!
Today, the different escort boards had to contend against the savage Vicious Beast and assassin's guilds for a full 700 years. It was during these 700 years that the eight escort boards appeared that the world became peaceful.
"But I am the righteous one."
There was no emotion in the ghost-masked man's voice as he said, "We are not the people we should kill, but if you insist on stopping me, then you are the ones who should kill. Go and stay with these three and decide for yourselves."
These words, in the ears of the eight three star Armed Escort s, made them even more furious. They had originally wanted to deal with the ghost-masked man peacefully, but now it seemed that they would never let this matter rest.
Because this was already a showdown between the killer and Armed Escort!
"Since that's the case, then we won't waste any more time on nonsense. After killing a demon like you who is filled with evil spirits, the world will only have one more piece of purity and cleanliness. Hand over your life!"
Just as he finished speaking, a silver white Stellar Genuine Qi s spread out from the eight people's bodies, with blade and sword light slamming down with a loud bang.
The Ghost-faced man stood in his original spot without moving an inch. The corners of his lips that were hidden beneath the fierce face lifted into a slight arc. Suddenly, his eyes had become fierce.
All of a sudden, her right hand moved like a shadow, and with an explosive sound, a cold shadow flew out. She couldn't see his hand, nor could she see the cold edge of his attack.
But at this moment!
The eight three star Armed Escort s felt the air fluctuating as an invisible energy condensed and trembled. Although it was only a split-second feeling, in that instant, the minds of the eight three star Armed Escort s were already completely blank.
In such a short period of time, they were actually shaken by such an aura until their heads were muddled, and their vision was hazy. They felt all their muscles, bones, flesh, and internal organs vibrate according to the frequency of this great force in the world.
Their only feeling was that the Sword Intent that had been infused with the Stellar Genuine Qi had come oppressing.1
Swoosh.
It was as if an extremely soft and cold wind had entered the ears of the eight three star Armed Escort s. That voice was extremely calm, like a gentle breeze that brushed past without any killing intent.
However, all of their movements had already stopped. For some baffling reason, they couldn't move an inch forward.
It was only until the next moment that the piercing pain suddenly spread to their minds because they felt their line of sight become shorter. Only now did they realize that their upper body and lower body were quietly separating.
The flying palanquin behind Ji Fengying and the other two also fell down. Just as they were about to turn around and see what had happened, their upper bodies suddenly fell to the ground. Fresh blood began to gush out from their waists.
They wanted to scream out in fear, wanted to completely vent the fear in their hearts, but they couldn't, because they felt that they were in an extremely sharp situation in the world, and their throats were stuck by something and they couldn't make a sound at all. They could only let the surrounding sharp auras stand around them without being able to resist.
Boom!
All of a sudden, the great force that had been in a state of stillness in the world suddenly rose up and directly exploded.
Just like the sword that was slashing horizontally, it extended out into the endless distance. Looking down from high up in the sky, one could see a wave of eerie blue energy with Stellar Genuine Qi s moving violently from a basic point towards a fan-like direction, directly sweeping out an endless distance.
The entire mountain range was swept and destroyed!
And the eight three star Armed Escort s, as well as Ji Fengying, Yang Yuyao, and Yue Wu, didn't even have a chance to cry out in pain before they were directly sliced by the sword beams and turned into dust!
The grandeur and majesty of the aura was simply astonishing. Only when one looked down from a high altitude would one be able to sense the stunning and violent nature of that sword strike. It erupted in silence and was still astounding.
On the ground, at the source of the riot.
Under the moonlight, the Ghost-Masked Man's slightly white left hand lightly tightened the Ghost-Mask on his face, but at this moment, his expression was cold. He suddenly turned his head to look out into the distant starry sky, his gaze fixed somewhere extremely far away.
"I missed one."
The emotionless voice of the Ghost Face still reverberated in the air, and his figure had already disappeared from this place.
