Chapter 205: Shadow Assassins and Special Units

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At this moment, the smoke caused by the collapse had just dispersed.

The yard of the inn was still dark despite the rays of light from the candles in the rooms.

Everything looked normal on the surface.

Whoosh!

However, unusual light popped up in Ji Ye’s eyes.

“However, Old Kid, I can show you how to play with this new item!”

Next, Ji Ye smiled and suddenly said that to Zhou Botong.

Hum!

In the next moment, the Yellow Mallet suddenly flew off through the hole on the wall and quickly expanded in midair. It turned into a streak of yellow light and hit the dark ground next to a wagon in the yard of the inn.

“Ah!”

The ground seemed empty, yet a scream burst out from the darkness.

After the smash, the shadow of a human being appeared underneath the Yellow Mallet that had shrunk in size.

“Enemy!”

Ji Ye need not say anything at all, because the scream was loud enough to wake up everybody in the inn.

Ting! Ting! Ting!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Then, noises of battle echoed in several rooms in the inn at the same time.

“Long’er!”

“Aunt Ying!”

Yang Guo’s and Zhou Botong’s expressions changed. Both of them left for the woman they cared about.

However, not everybody could react in time.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The shadows behind several servants of the Manor of Beasts who were near the wagons suddenly moved and jumped at them.

Then, those shadows quickly left the servants after a brief contact.

However, the few servants who barely knew martial arts collapsed on the ground with blood popping up from their heads.

The few shadows moved out of the inn immediately.

“Arrays, rise!”

However, a voice echoed all of a sudden.

Then, a layer of white mist suddenly appeared around the inn.

All of the beta testers were cautious. While Ji Ye fused the Yellow Mallet, Han Meimei didn’t idle around either. She commanded Bao to move things in the inn and establish an array with the flags she took out from his bag.

“They’re the Yuan army’s Shadow Assassins!

“They’re all above Extraordinary Rank-5, and they can melt into shadows with their special arts and skills, which can erase the noises they make and prevent them from being detected by life detectors.

“When I was in Xiangyang City, those Shadow Assassins had already killed several officials and generals!”

Qin Yueyu said solemnly to Ji Ye who had just come into the lobby.

Having been to Xiangyang City earlier, she was well aware of the horror of the Shadow Assassins.

Their abilities were special and weird. They could act soundlessly in the dark, and they were very strong.

If Ji Ye hadn’t broken the wall during the test of the Yellow Mallet and caused everybody in the inn to check it out, those Shadow Assassins might have snuck into deeper places.

Since those assassins were all Extraordinary Rank-5, even if they weren’t Commanders, they could still be a great threat to the team if they launched unexpected assassinations.

Maybe Ji Ye, Yang Guo, Zhou Botong, Qiu Qianren, and the other top experts could handle them.

However, Aunt Ying, Nie Xiaoqian, Wu Qiao, and the others who were relatively weak would definitely be wounded if not killed.

As for people like An Quan, who hadn’t even reached Extraordinary Rank-5 yet, he would’ve probably dropped dead like the servants of the Manor of Beasts!

“Those Shadow Assassins are only deployed to kill important personnel. Why on earth have they come to us?

“Just because we killed some of Yuan’s food collectors?”

Qin Yueyu was rather confused.

By their estimation, the Yuan people couldn’t have sent a powerful force to deal with them.

After all, this place was still Song’s territory, and it was unlikely that Yuan would gather an army to attack Ji Ye’s team.

Gathering the army in such weather just to avenge a hundred soldiers wouldn’t have been worth it.

However, little did they expect that the Yuan people actually came, and they even sent out their most dreadful assassins!

“I’m afraid we made a mistake during the day.”

Ji Ye, on the other hand, thought of something else.

Infuriated by the atrocities of the Yuan soldiers, none of Yang Guo, Qiu Qianren, and Ji Ye himself held themselves back when they attacked those food collectors.

It wasn’t really wrong of them to do that.

However, the enemy might have inferred from the wounds on the bodies that several of the attackers were top martial artists.

Also, it could be inferred that those top martial artists were on their way to reinforce Xiangyang City.

As long as the decision-maker who received this message wasn’t too stupid, they would try to stop the martial artists from reaching Xiangyang City.

After all, those who were Extraordinary Rank-7 were too strong. When they carried out all their strength, any one of them might be as strong as a troop.

According to Qin Yueyu’s intelligence, Yuan’s decision-makers weren’t stupid at all. While the Yuan emperor was still returning from Dali, the East King, who ranked first among the kings, was supervising the battle at Xiangyang City.

The man was also the Yuan emperor’s blood brother. It was said that he was both strong and smart.

The Shadow Assassins were the ace troop under his command too.

“Such an ace troop? It’s possible that he might want to claim the throne. I wonder if I can take advantage of that...”

An idea popped up in Ji Ye’s mind, but he said, “Everybody, gather in the lobby!”

His voice wasn’t loud, but it was delivered to the ears of everybody at the inn.

It was Voice Far Away, a special skill of Reverend Yideng.

In the lobby of the inn, there were several luminous pearls (mini solar lights) that could provide stable light despite the influence of the snow.

After all, not everybody had eyes as keen as Ji Ye’s to detect the lurking Shadow Assassins.

When placed at the appropriate angles, the few mini solar lights could form a “shadowless lamp” that was commonly used in surgery rooms. It could suppress the core method of the Shadow Assassins!

The Yuan people had established their empire on the foundation of martial arts. Now that they had been matched in this Battlefield of Providence, their martial arts must’ve been somewhat similar to those in The Return of the Condor Heroes.

However, they couldn’t be entirely the same. At least, the abilities of those Shadow Assassins weren’t regular martial arts.

Besides, the Shadow Assassins who had appeared at the Battlefield of Providence were theoretically weakened Extraordinary ones.

By the estimation of Li Qing and Elder Meng, the Transcendent Shadow Assassins could probably swap different shadows in a battle and even kill their target by killing the target’s shadow. They were definitely formidable.

“Those Shadow Assassins must be a ‘special unit’, right?

“If we kill them, I think we’ll be able to reap corresponding ‘offerings’ from them!”
