"I understand, rest assured."
Sikong Jing responded with a confident smile and then, with a sword in one hand and a spear in the other, coldly blocked the path of the three assassins.
At this moment, Hua Meixi gazed deeply at Sikong Jing's back.
For some reason, in this moment, she felt a bit stunned. Sikong Jing's back seemed so towering to her, and she suddenly somewhat understood why Uncle Yao and her mother both said... with Sikong Jing there, they felt assured!
Without thinking further, Hua Meixi turned and disappeared into the surrounding buildings, completely vanishing from sight.
Not until she was far away did Hua Meixi lean against a wall, murmuring to herself: "What exactly is happening to my body? Why am I going into deviation? Why does my war body keep wanting to upgrade?"
Of course, the upgrade of the war body is a good thing, but it's too strange, and the upgrade is too fast.
Thinking back to when she almost lost consciousness while saving her mother, Hua Meixi became very frightened.
Suddenly, she froze and said: "Why did I just now listen to Sikong Jing so obediently?"
If it were before, if Sikong Jing told her to leave, she definitely wouldn't have gone, even if she were really demonized... but just now she inexplicably obeyed completely.
It was as if there was a voice in her heart urging her to be obedient.
Hua Meixi was very confused...
And she certainly did not know that she possessed the bloodline of the Fierce Beast Night Charm, while the person opposite her was the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts.
No matter how rebellious the Fierce Beast Night Charm could be, Hua Meixi was not the true Night Charm, and no matter how powerful the Night Charm was, it couldn't be stronger than the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, so as one with a fierce beast bloodline, she instinctively obeyed.
Outside, Yao Yulou, who almost lost control, let out a breath and then gave Sikong Jing a look filled with immense gratitude.
Pei Feishan and Shi'an Leader wore expressions of madness, thinking it was that damned little Sky Wolf again.
"Facing one assassin alone was manageable, but facing three, I refuse to believe he won't die." Shi'an Leader ranted madly.
Here, Duanmu Chun looked towards Yao Yulou: "Brother Yulou, what's wrong with Hua Meixi's body?"
This question immediately caught Pei Feishan's attention; there seemed to be something wrong with Hua Meixi just now?
Moreover, they heard Sikong Jing say she was about to go into deviation.
Yao Yulou replied in a low voice: "After that day's events, Meixi fell into a long coma. Coupled with the emotional turmoil from her mother being kidnapped, her True Qi hasn't been regulated well, and if she continues fighting, she might very well go into deviation."
"Sikong Jing has saved Meixi once again."
Hearing this explanation, Duanmu Chun, of course, had no doubts and continued watching Sikong Jing closely...
Pei Feishan still had many concerns, but now wasn't the time to communicate with Yao Yulou.
Right now, Pei Feishan was representing the conflict between Shiyu Commerce and the East Dominator Branch, wishing Sikong Jing would just die.
However, within the formation, Sikong Jing remained at ease while facing the three assassins.
With one hand using the Ten Dragons Chaotic Kill Sword and the other wielding the Iron Wing Sky Flying Spear, he forced the three assassins to continually dodge and retreat. In an instant, they had been fighting for two whole hours, much to the frustration of Shi'an Leader and Pei Feishan.
"What kind of Emperor's Artifact could make that little beast Sikong so powerful?"
Fighting one Spirit Movement Realm should be Sikong Jing's limit, even if he has Yao Yulou's Emperor's Artifact. But single-handedly taking on three Spirit Movement Realm assassins, plus the interference from the surrounding Spiritual Shadow Array, how could a mere Reverse Soul Realm handle this?
Duanmu Chun scoffed at this: "You'd have to ask Yao Bajue about that, I wouldn't know."
He currently felt very comfortable; seeing Sikong Jing able to face three Spirit Movement Realms eased his worries, and he even silently laughed at Shi'an Leader for thinking it was due to the Emperor's Artifact.
Yao Yulou also smiled gently, not bothering to explain.
At this moment, Pei Feishan coldly suggested: "The assassins don't need to confront him head-on; they should hide and look for an opportunity."
With those words, Shi'an Leader suddenly calmed down.
Indeed, his men were all assassins, why should they fight Sikong Jing head-on? Assassins are inherently weaker in direct combat... thinking of this, he once again issued a silent order.
Of course, Shi'an Leader knew what Pei Feishan truly meant.
He meant: the so-called seeking opportunity was not to take down Sikong Jing, but to continue prioritizing capturing Hua Meixi.
Within the formation, once the three assassins received the information, they immediately fled, moving in three different directions...
Sikong Jing's eyes turned cold at the sight, and without hesitation, he pursued one direction.
"You will regret your separation."
With that, Sikong Jing suddenly activated the Shadow Moon Step and vanished from his original spot.
An hour later, an assassin's corpse lay at Sikong Jing's feet. Despite the assassin's desperate attempts to dodge, he couldn't evade Sikong Jing's pursuit, nor could he escape Sikong Jing's incredibly keen sense of smell.
The Shadow Moon Step, combined with Sikong Jing's understanding of the Shi'an Sword Skill, restrained the opponent completely.
After slaying one, Sikong Jing gazed calmly at the sky, smiling faintly: "I wonder which fool gave the order, thinking that three assassins couldn't handle Captain Hua. If they act separately, I'll at least manage to contain one, so what good are the remaining two?"
"Moreover, now I've already taken down one."
Finishing, Sikong Jing slowly withdrew his gaze and moved in the direction of sensing Hua Meixi's presence...
He knew, of course, what the three assassins' separation was intended for, still aiming to capture Hua Meixi. But pursuing and killing just one was enough for him; two assassins couldn't compel Hua Meixi's war body into chaotic overdrive.
The words Sikong Jing spoke were indeed meant for the hidden experts from Shiyu Commerce.
Outside, when Shi'an Leader heard Sikong Jing's words, he almost spat blood and stormed into the Spiritual Shadow Array to kill Sikong Jing.
Damn it, how dare he call him a fool.
Shi'an Leader truly didn't expect, after the assassins submerged into the shadows, that Sikong Jing could still pursue and pinpoint.
Both he and Pei Feishan believed that once the assassins vanished into the shadows, no matter how absurd Sikong Jing was, he couldn't contain even one. But against all odds, one had already been taken down by Sikong Jing.
Simply put, they still underestimated Sikong Jing.
Duanmu Chun and Yao Yulou exchanged glances; it seemed Sikong Jing was aware of the presence of four powerful ones... yet this was impossible, but perhaps he guessed it, proving his brilliance!
Time continued to pass, and Hua Meixi was once again entangled by two assassins.
But Sikong Jing reappeared, confronting a similar situation...
Sikong Jing instructed Hua Meixi to keep moving, while he engaged the two assassins alone. Now, he faced the interference from the Spiritual Shadow at the Sea Crossing Realm of the Spirit Martial Fourth Stage, making it no easy task.
However, the two assassins still couldn't bring Sikong Jing down, only able to retreat and dodge, but this time they learned not to separate again.
Time continued to flow...
Sikong Jing, Hua Meixi, and the two assassins kept maneuvering in their pursuit and escape until they found themselves near the breaking point of the pass, and all the Spiritual Shadows around them had transformed into the Heavenly King Realm.
In the midst of their mutual chase, almost a whole day had passed...
