Today was a conspiracy!
As Commander Yu's trusted aide, Zhao Yu, to actually betray at such a critical mont, it was a huge blow to the entire battle morale!
The Black Clothes Society has been harassing us for more than a day or two!
The Martial Arts mbers of Xuanwu, seeing so many of their brethren fall to the blades of the Black Clothes Society's Martial Arts Experts, felt even worse than if they had been killed themselves!
Just as they had found an opportunity to uproot the Black Clothes Society's nest in Penglai Canyon, now... before the action even started, the leader was directly beheaded...
The solemn aura of those who were approaching was felt by the Xuanwu experts present!
If the enemy had planted a spy by Commander Yu's side, then those from the Black Clothes Society must be clearly aware of today's operation and have set a net in the heavens and a trap on earth here!
...
In the surrounding woods, approaching were the Black Clothes Society's strong n, led by none other than Matsumoto Bilian!
Seeing Zhao Yu's actions, a sinister smile appeared on Matsumoto's face, "It seems that Great Xia's Number One Valkyrie is not that formidable after all! Hehe, a single infiltrating chess piece I arranged was able to solve it so easily. Had I known, why would we have bothered to make such a grand fuss?"
"Indeed! Master Matsumoto is formidable, having everything well-prepared ahead of ti!"
"Exactly, exactly! We can hold a celebration now. Slaying Great Xia's Number One Valkyrie will surely make every Martial Artist in Great Xia fearful!"
Matsumoto, listening to the flattery from his n, felt sowhat elated, "Of course! After this battle victory, those within the Great Xia Realm who wish to oppose the Black Clothes Society will have to weigh their options. Collecting treasures afterward will be so much easier!"
"Master Matsumoto speaks the truth, we swear to follow Master Matsumoto to the death, and when Master Matsumoto rises in rank, don't forget about us old brothers!"
"Well said, well said!" Matsumoto appeared generous, smiling and greeting the people around him, but in the next mont, he blurted out loudly, "Damn... *expletive*..."
Matsumoto was originally lurking behind the trees, but now he stood up excitedly, staring in horror at the situation in the canyon.
Huh?
The other Black Clothes Society experts, hearing Matsumoto's shouts, couldn't help but turn their heads to look into the canyon, and they too were stunned by the scene before them.
...
In the canyon, the Battle Saber in Zhao Yu's hand was blocked by Yu Linglong, and the other dagger in Yu Linglong's hand had pierced through Zhao Yu's heart.
The sound of the assassination that had just been heard did not co from Yu Linglong but had pierced through Zhao Yu's heart.
"This..." Zhao Yu's maniacal laughter stopped abruptly, he looked in disbelief at the dagger in his chest and the blood dripping down his clothing, numbed, "Commander Yu, you... you actually..."
Zhao Yu's pupils dilated, feeling the Vitality Force rapidly draining from his body, but his eyes were filled with disbelief.
He had concealed himself so carefully, and in such a tense atmosphere, he suddenly launched an attack, yet Yu Linglong managed to react? Not only did she block his attack, she even killed him in response?
How was that possible?
Where exactly had he exposed himself?
Yu Linglong pulled the dagger out of Zhao Yu's body, allowing him to fall to the ground, "Hmph! Zhao Yu, you didn't expect this, did you? You actually failed to kill ... Hehe..."
Yu Linglong sneered, whispering into the dying Zhao Yu's ear, "You treated Penglai Canyon as bait, thinking to draw us from Xuanwu here for an ambush, only to counter and kill us in turn! But have you ever considered, our squad was bait as well?"
"Ah... you all..." Zhao Yu let out a cry of shock, his last thoughts violently shaken, he could not believe that the Xuanwu Domain had such thods. Zhao Yu tried to convey the information to the surrounding Matsumoto and others, but his Vitality Force completely dissipated, his head tilted, and he died instantly.
"Commander Yu, are you alright? That's great!"
"Wonderful! Commander Yu is truly divine!"
Around them, Yu Linglong's Direct Lineage Troops, seeing that she was unscathed and even managed to kill Zhao Yu in retaliation, were all excitedly crowding around.
"Zhao Yu has rebelled, colluding with those bastards from the Black Clothes Society, intending to attack , and has now been put to death by ... Brothers, should we let those mad dogs, those scum from the Black Clothes Society go?" Yu Linglong raised the bloodied battle saber high, and vigorously rallied all the combat personnel present for one final call to arms.
"Never let them go! Fight them to the end!"
"To the end!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
By this ti, everyone had realized that the Black Clothes Society had set up an ambush around them; the elent of surprise was gone—this was to be a fight to the death.
In an instant, under Yu Linglong's lead, the atmosphere at the scene began to boil, with cries of battle reaching the skies, and a powerful fighting spirit spread all around, causing the surrounding trees to sway without any wind!
Although Yu Linglong had only brought a team of a hundred this ti, their intense will to fight could not be ignored.
The experts from the Black Clothes Society surrounding Yu Linglong and her people had almost gathered all the lurking personnel they could pull together, outnumbering Yu Linglong's forces by five to one.
"Vice President Matsumoto, Zhao Yu's action plan has failed, should we take action now?" A man with a scarred face spoke coldly beside Matsumoto, "If Zhao Yu couldn't kill or seriously injure Yu Linglong, our problem just got much bigger."
The team under Yu Linglong, known as the Qilin Squad, had an extrely terrifying overall offensive capability. Especially Yu Linglong—she was the soul of this team. As long as Yu Linglong didn't fall, the fighting power of her team would at least double.
"Don't rush! Who told you Yu Linglong only had Zhao Yu by her side?" Matsumoto smirked devilishly, "I fear Yu Linglong doesn't know that two of the four most elite experts under her command have already been bought by our Black Clothes Society, right?"
A whistle!
Matsumoto put his fingers to his lips, issuing a signal to move.
The next mont, while Yu Linglong was fervently calling all her combatants to arms, another one of her subordinates, a general, seized the mont to strike at Yu Linglong's lower back again.
Thud!
This ti, everyone saw it clearly—Yu Linglong had no ti to react at all. The dagger in the hands of the Grandmaster Realm general had clearly pierced through Yu Linglong's clothes and into her body.
"Yu Linglong, you should finally be dead now, right?" Matsumoto Bilian huffed coldly, feeling relieved once again.
And that middle-aged man who took action harbored the sa thought!
Yu Linglong could defend against the first assassination attempt by Zhao Yu, but she couldn't guard against my second attack, right?
Boom!
Yu Linglong felt a sharp pain in her waist and instinctively turned around. With a punch, she sent the assassin flying, "Yang Tong, I never thought that another traitor would be you! Despicable!"
Yu Linglong, with a face full of anger and slightly pale, reprimanded him.
Pushed back by Yu Linglong, Yang Tong managed to stand his ground a few ters away and sneered, "Yu Linglong, now you know it's too late! My blade is coated with a potent poison, Blood Sealing Throat! Yu Linglong, today you're undoubtedly going to die..."
All of Yu Linglong's subordinates around her were dumbfounded!
Another one?
Beyond Zhao Yu, there was yet another assassin who wanted to kill Commander Yu?
Yang Tong had been waiting for quite a while when he realized that aside from looking a bit pale, Yu Linglong exhibited no signs of abnormality. He frowned, "What's going on?"
Was his poison ineffective?
Yu Linglong was also puzzled. She had been stabbed in the waist; logically speaking, she should feel excruciating pain. Why was there no blood? And it seed like there was a warm current flowing in her waist!
What was happening?
Yu Linglong reached for her waist and then pulled out a yellowed Rune Talisman...
