Chapter 402 A Terrifying Night Under the Half Moon - Dark Night Pavilion
Chapter 402 A Terrifying Night Under the Half Moon - Dark Night Pavilion
Because of the old emperor's relocation of the capital, Ling'an Prefecture is now a battlefield!
Gao Mengli closed the inn in Wangyue Village.
All five of Liucun's Black, A Li, and Meng Ze were transferred to the prefectural city.
Fatty, Ayu, and the others also arrived in the prefectural city one after another with Dou Zhan!
Tonight, Qin Shengsheng and Yu Mengmeng arrived last!
Chen Xu, along with his men Wang Meng, Zhou Ping, Zhang Hao, and Qian Xiaohu, also came here.
Therefore, Gao Mengli and Lin Xi, who were surrounded by many experts, finally breathed a sigh of relief in the tense environment.
For the first few days, the two of them were so nervous that they couldn't sleep.
Only after everyone arrived did the two of them finally fall asleep.
It's true that as long as a skilled person lives next door, you can have peace of mind all day long.
War, regardless of the era, is always heartbreaking.
These two were no exception.
What's more, neither of them knew martial arts and were more afraid of death than anyone else!
But just as everyone had fallen asleep, they heard a slight noise from the roof.
With a "crash," the people on the roof burst through the roof and fell down.
Mengze on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the crescent blade beside him, and rolled over, barely dodging the attack.
The crisp sound of shattering tiles echoed in the air. Mengze had already landed with his knife, the blade pointing diagonally at the ground, his eyes fixed intently on the dark figure leaping down from the hole.
The dark figure, dressed in black and wearing a mask, wielded a crescent-shaped blade with ghostly speed, aiming straight for Mengze's heart.
Looking at the cold, crescent-shaped blade under the moonlight, Mengze was shocked, "Dark Night Pavilion!"
When an assassin gets close, he has no time to think and can only fight back!
The crescent blade slid along the inside of the crescent blade with a crisp "clang".
In the instant sparks flew, he flipped his wrist, and the blade slashed upwards, aiming straight for the shadowy figure's throat.
As the opponent drew his crescent blade, fear deepened in the shadowy figure's eyes, like a raging storm!
But with the deadly attack at his throat, he hastily retreated.
She tiptoed over the edge of the bed, using the momentum to flip over to the corner of the wall, creating distance between herself and Mengze.
"You are Mengze, ranked number one on the assassin list!"
The shadowy figure's voice trembled, and his grip on the crescent blade tightened involuntarily.
The title of number one on the assassin's list is a death warrant in the dark!
Even though they both came from the Dark Night Pavilion, he had no chance of winning against the number one assassin on the assassin's list!
I thought Mengze's team had been wiped out during the assassination attempt, but I never expected to run into them here!
The result was self-evident: they—betrayed them!
"Mengze, do you know the consequences of betraying the Dark Night Pavilion?"
Mengze's hand holding the crescent blade remained motionless, his eyes showing no emotion. "Betrayal is betrayal. If you want to bring me the consequences, then come at me!"
The shadowy figure felt uneasy at his fearless demeanor.
He still maintained a show of bravado, saying, "What a fool! This time, the Pavilion Master himself has come. All of you will pay the price for your betrayal with your lives!"
After saying that, the man in black, his eyes icy cold, rushed forward with his crescent blade and engaged Meng Ze in battle.
The moment the commotion started in Mengze's room, Ayu burst through the window, scooped up Gao Mengli, who was still half asleep in bed, and hoisted her onto her shoulder. "Ali, don't be afraid, I'm here to get you!"
Gao Mengli was startled by Ayu's actions. When she came to her senses, she and Ayu had already jumped out of the window and landed in the courtyard!
The moment Gao Mengli was pulled up by Ayu, she suddenly opened her eyes. Before she could pull Lin Xi, who was on the upper bunk, Ayu had already carried her away!
"Xixi!"
"It's alright, Qian Yan'er went in with me!"
No sooner had they finished speaking than the roof of the room they were sleeping in collapsed, and two men in black jumped down from the hole.
Qian Yan'er grabbed Lin Xi, who was momentarily dazed but instantly regained his senses, and with a forceful throw, tossed him out of the window!
"Ah, Yan'er!"
Lin Xi was so frightened that she turned pale!
Just when he thought he was bound to fall to the ground, his father, who had missing teeth, appeared like a god, flying over from the side and catching him in mid-air.
He spun and landed, not forgetting to grin with his slit mouth and wink at Lin Xi, "Don't be afraid, missing-toothed dad is the best at picking up kids!"
Inside the house, the sounds of fighting erupted!
Qian Yan'er dodged left and right, and thanks to her short stature, she managed to fight the "butcher" to a standstill!
Everyone was startled by the commotion of the assassination attempt and gathered in the courtyard!
Ten black-clad figures, including Ah Li, gripped their knives, staring in horror at the murderous leader on the rooftop.
"Pavilion Master!"
Ah Li glanced at her and called out the name of the person she never wanted to meet in her life!
The pavilion master stood on the rooftop with his hands behind his back, his night clothes fluttering in the night wind. When his gaze swept over the people in the courtyard, it was as cold as if he were looking at dead people.
He noticed that Ah Li's hand, gripping the crescent blade, was trembling, and a murderous glint appeared on his lips. "Ah Li, you dare to betray the Dark Night Pavilion, then tonight you will all—die!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the assassins following the sect leader immediately drew their knives and charged down from the rooftop!
Ah Li gritted her teeth, grabbed her knife, and charged out, shouting, "Let's go!"
As soon as she finished speaking, ten black-clad assassins, each wielding a crescent-shaped blade, followed her, their blades clashing violently against the assassin's slashes.
A crisp "clang" rang out.
Sparks flew in the courtyard as they fought amongst themselves!
When the Pavilion Master uttered the word "betrayal," Gao Mengli and Lin Xi were shocked!
Ah Li and his companions weren't actually pig butchers, but rather Rain Night Butchers—ruthless killers!
God!
No wonder, no wonder she always felt that Ah Li and the others were not simple. It turns out they were assassins trained from childhood!
There was no fear in her eyes, only the desire to have gained something!
Gao Mengli never dared to imagine that she could have a top-notch team of assassins as her bodyguards without spending an exorbitant amount of money!
By any measure, she's made a killing!
After dealing with the assassins in the house, Mengze immediately flew out.
The landing created a gust of wind, and drops of blood from the crescent blade fell onto the bluestone slab, spreading a small patch of dark red.
His gaze swept over the wound on Ah Li's arm, and his eyes filled with tension.
When masters clash, no one else can get involved.
Especially those trained by the Pavilion Master—they are the most deadly of assassins!
"Bang" sound.
One of the assassins was kicked out!
The chubby girl saw this as a golden opportunity!
Unexpectedly, with a sudden, overwhelming force, his entire body crashed heavily onto the assassin's chest!
Two "click" sounds!
The assassin suffered a broken rib and died coughing up blood!
Mengze, ranked number one on the assassin leaderboard, lived up to his ranking, sending one assassin after another flying!
As long as you fly out of the combat range.
Ayu and her buck-toothed father rushed over and took care of it on the spot!
Upon seeing this, the pavilion master on the roof was furious!
The very person he trained turned against him and even helped outsiders slaughter their own fellow disciples!
The sect leader gripped the crescent blade tightly with his fingertips, and the killing intent in his eyes was almost tangible!
He suddenly exerted his strength, kicking away the tile that was in his way, and leaped forward, shouting, "A bunch of ungrateful wretches! Today I'll clean house!"
Having said that, he leaped off the roof, his curved blade whistling as it slashed straight at Mengze's back—he could see clearly that once he dealt with the number one assassin he had trained, the rest were nothing but a rabble.
