This skinny man was definitely a terrifying assassin.
He was well versed in the art of assassination.
He had been holding back and did not find a chance to kill him in one strike. He would rather not make a move.
At this moment, the best opportunity he had been waiting for finally arrived!
Wu Mingyue was deeply immersed in her memories, and her mind was in turmoil. She couldn't pay attention to the changes in the outside world at all.
The five Emissaries did not dare to disturb him and kept a long distance behind him.
It was simply too late to rescue them.
"This is a half-step Heaven Tier cultivator, and a current Empress! He created history!"
"There has never been a precedent of an empress ascending to the throne in the various empires.”
"Unfortunately, today, this awe-inspiring empress will die in my hands!”
"Hehehe…I will leave my name in the history of the assassin world!!”
A cruel smile appeared in the skinny man's eyes.
He was confident that he could kill his opponent at such a close distance.
Once he succeeded, he would become famous in the assassin world and become a true assassin!
Assassinating a half-step Heaven Tier elite, although formidable, was still not enough to make him famous.
However, successfully assassinating a peerless Empress would definitely shock the world!
In the skinny man's hand, the Yuchang sword pierced through the air like a bolt of lightning.
It was about to pierce Wu Mingyue's heart.
Even now, Wu Mingyue had yet to regain her senses. Her eyes were still filled with pain and confusion.
The assassin suddenly exploded, but she was completely unaware of it.
It was only when the killing intent penetrated into her bones and was bone-chilling that she suddenly realized what was going on.
However, there was no time for her to react!!
"The Empress of a generation, with her amazing talent, ice skin and jade bones, is going to die today.”
"What a pity…"
The skinny man sounded regretful, but his eyes were filled with wild excitement.
The hand that was holding the sharp blade and dagger trembled slightly from excitement.
After completing this mission, he would be able to obtain a huge amount of wealth, supreme power, and fame!
However, just as he was about to succeed, something happened again!
A cold beam of light floated in the air, as silent as the spring rain, or as fast as the northern aurora. It was so fast that it was unbelievable!!
This cold light did not have any earth-shattering power, nor did it have any soaring killing intent.
However, it was extremely mysterious and deathly silent.
It was truly impossible to guard against!
" This…How is this possible?!"
The skinny man was horrified.
From the moment this sudden cold light appeared, he did not react.
However, the moment he sensed it, the cold light had already cut his throat!!
"Pfft!"
A muffled sound rang out, and a bloody light appeared.
The skinny man clutched his throat and fell to the ground.
His eyes were like a dead fish as he stared to the side.
At some point, a tall man in black soft armor had appeared in that position.
The other party held a thin and long sword in his hand, which was stained with the skinny man's blood.
"As an assassin, you have such a huge flaw in your state of mind. You are still far from reaching the peak of the assassin path.”
The tall man in black armor looked down coldly at the skinny man who had fallen.
There was no fluctuation in his voice.
It was as if he had done something ordinary.
Even if he had killed a Half-Step Heaven Tier assassin, it was not something to be proud of.
Or rather, it gave people the feeling that this black-armored man's state of mind had already reached the point where he could control it freely!
Regardless of whether he was killing or being killed, he would always be in an extremely calm state!
At this moment.
The five Emissaries had already rushed over. They took out their weapons and guarded Wu Mingyue.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
"It's all our fault for our negligence. Please punish us, Your Majesty!”
They still had a lingering fear in their hearts!
The scene just now almost scared them out of their wits.
Although they saw the assassin being killed by the black-armored man who appeared later, they still did not dare to let their guard down.
Even though they knew that the other party had saved the empress, they were still extremely vigilant.
The black-armored man in front of him had a faint aura and looked ordinary.
But the instant he attacked, everyone sensed that the other party seemed to be a half-step Heaven Tier expert!
Moreover, the five Emissaries felt that he was much more dangerous than the dead assassin!!
"I'm fine."
Wu Mingyue had already regained her composure and regained her cool expression.
She didn't blame her trusted aides. Instead, she stared at the black-armored man.
To be exact, he was looking at a symbol on the opponent's black soft armor!
The symbol was a ghost-like head, like a demon from hell, fierce and ferocious.
The scarlet color seemed to be emitting traces of bloodlust.
"You're from the Network!"
Wu Mingyue's eyes were cold.
Hearing this, the five Emissaries were all shocked, as if they were facing a great enemy.
When they saw the symbol on the man's black armor, they instantly reacted!
The Network was a notorious assassination organization!
Moreover, this assassin organization was extremely mysterious. No one knew where they came from.
No one knew who founded this assassin organization.
However, this did not affect the reputation of the Network in the assassin world!
This assassin organization had killed many nobles and ministers, and even a martial arts magnate had been defeated by them!
The most terrifying thing was that the success rate of this assassin organization was frighteningly high.
Almost every time he attacked, it was a situation of death!
He had never heard of a case of failure.
Those who were targeted by the net did not seem to be still alive.
Not to mention the Great Zhou Empire, even the other empires were wary of this assassin organization.
He would rather be killed by Wuchang than be targeted by the net!
At the same time, several Emissaries were very surprised.
Why did the other party save Her Majesty?？
"Senior Prime Minister Sima Changfeng of the previous dynasty was assassinated by the net!”
"At that time, Lu Ping 'an even admitted that he was the one who instructed him.”
"Lu Ping 'an's will also mentioned that he seems to have an unusual relationship with the Network!”
Some time ago, the five Emissaries had also read some of the contents behind the will.
There was a very important part of the content. It mentioned that the master of the network was very respectful to Lu Ping 'an!
At that time, the five Emissaries did not comment, thinking that Lu Ping 'an was just bragging.
At most, they were in a cooperative relationship.
What kind of nobles and generals wouldn't dare to assassinate the ruler of the notorious Net?
How could he be under someone else?
However, after experiencing these things, the five Emissaries were not sure.
Lu Ping 'an had hidden himself too deeply. Didn't the Heavenly Sword Villa and the Divine Weapon Pavilion also treat him respectfully?
It wasn't impossible to have another net, right?
Wu Mingyue didn't think too much about it. Instead, she looked at the man in black armor with eyes full of killing intent!
"Is Senior Sima's death related to you?”
Wu Mingyue pulled out the Dragon Spring Sword and pointed it at the black-armored man.
It was as if as long as the other party said yes, she would immediately attack!
In Wu Mingyue's impression, Sima Chang Feng treated her extremely well. He was both a teacher and a caring elder.
When Sima Changfeng was killed, Wu Mingyue secretly swore that one day, she would avenge him!
However, the black-armored man stood with his hands behind his back. He had no intention of making a move. He only calmly said,
"Does Your Majesty hate our Network that much?”
