The assassin, startled by the sound, immediately turned around. He saw a tall man standing behind him, less than two meters away.
The man stood ramrod straight, arms crossed, a heavy sword in his hand. He stood there proudly, chest out.
Though he couldn't sense any aura from the man, he felt as if he were a mountain, so imposing that the assassin struggled to breathe.
Once he recovered, the assassin, terrified, stumbled backward, breaking out in a cold sweat.
As an assassin, his senses for danger were incredibly sharp. He couldn't fathom how the man had approached him from behind without him noticing.
He only became aware of the man's presence when he spoke. It was terrifying.
If the man had wanted to kill him just moments ago, he would have been decapitated.
With this thought, his shock intensified. He retreated several meters before stopping.
Having reached what he considered a safe distance, his expression slowly returned to normal.
He then glanced at the man with the heavy sword and said to Ye Feng, "Kid, I knew you had accomplices!"
However, Ye Feng found his words utterly baffling, as he had no accomplices.
If anyone could be considered one, it was Xiao Feifei, but she hadn't even made a move.
Moreover, Xiao Feifei hadn't been present when Ye Feng killed the long-haired Rakshasa.
Even if she had been there, she wouldn't have had the ability to act. Thus, Ye Feng was confused by the assassin's statement.
In his confusion, Ye Feng turned to look at the man, and was astonished, for he had seen this man once before.
It was the same tall man with the heavy sword who had appeared during the Black Lotus Cult incident. Ye Feng never expected him to be here.
"P-predecessor, is that you?" Ye Feng greeted him excitedly.
The heavy sword man heard him, nodded with a smile, appearing completely unfazed.
At this point, the assassin addressed the heavy sword man, "I admit your stealth is impressive, managing to approach me so silently! But unfortunately, you missed your best chance to strike!"
The heavy sword man's lips curled into a disdainful arc, his gaze utterly indifferent.
It was as if he were looking at ants, as if killing the assassin at any moment were a trivial matter.
As expected, the next second he twisted his neck, making cracking sounds, and said, "Do I need to find an opportunity to kill you?"
With that, he calmly walked towards the assassin.
Seeing this, the assassin was terrified and shouted, "You two, what are you waiting for? Attack him together!"
The other two assassins heard him and immediately charged at the man.
Thus, the three of them temporarily abandoned Ye Feng and surrounded the man, attacking him.
However, as the three charged, the heavy sword man's lips curved upwards, and he lightly raised his heavy sword.
In the next instant, all three were sent flying backward, spitting blood uncontrollably.
Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that all three had sword wounds on their chests, over ten centimeters long, bleeding profusely.
Ye Feng was stunned by this sight.
He hadn't even seen how the heavy sword man had attacked.
He only felt that the heavy sword man had casually swung his unsheathed heavy sword, and the three were severely injured.
These were not mere novices, but masters in the late stage of the Grandmaster realm.
This was simply unbelievable.
"Gulp, just what kind of strength does this predecessor possess!" Ye Feng couldn't help but swallow and mutter to himself.
"This is bad, his strength is beyond our ability to resist. Call for backup!" the late-stage Grandmaster assassin urgently said.
As soon as he finished speaking, another assassin quickly took out something and shot it into the sky.
It exploded in the air, forming a fireworks-like display.
"Heh heh, calling for backup? Very well! I'd like to see who you can call!" the heavy sword man said calmly, showing no fear.
He even sat down with his giant sword, not attacking the three immediately.
This further confused the three assassins, but it was good for them; the longer they could stall, the better.
However, seeing this, Ye Feng began to pity the assassins.
This scene was so similar to the Black Lotus Cult incident in Dongchuan City, where the Black Lotus Cult had suffered heavy losses. Ye Feng still vividly remembered it.
Within a few minutes, two figures suddenly sped towards them.
"How dare you obstruct the work of the Rakshasa Organization!"
The aura of the approaching individuals was immense. Before they even arrived, their powerful presence and words echoed from a distance.
Sensing their auras, the heavy sword man frowned.
Seeing this, Ye Feng quickly asked, "Senior, what's wrong? Are they very strong? If they're too strong, you should just leave! Don't worry about me."
The man had just saved his life, and Ye Feng was already very grateful. He didn't want the heavy sword man to get involved in this mess with him.
However, the heavy sword man's next response left Ye Feng dumbfounded.
He said, "Not too strong, they're too weak. It's a complete waste of time!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng was stunned.
What?
Too weak?
The next second, the two figures finally arrived in front of Ye Feng and his companions.
They were both wearing Rakshasa masks, but their masks were different from the others; they were glowing.
The mask on the left emitted a blue light, and the wearer, seemingly a man, possessed a powerful and ferocious aura. Ye Feng estimated him to be at least at the peak of the Grandmaster realm.
The mask on the right emitted a red light, and the wearer was a woman. Her aura didn't feel as powerful, but it gave off a more chilling sensation.
"How dare you? Who killed our Rakshasa Organization members!"
Upon their arrival, the man wearing the red-glowing mask looked at the assassins lying on the ground and became furious.
However, the heavy sword man did not answer his question. Instead, he asked, "Oh, a half-step Grandmaster and a peak Grandmaster, but only the two of you showed up?"
The two were taken aback, seeming a bit slow to react.
Seeing their lack of response, the heavy sword man continued, "It seems your 'kill order' is nothing special. You caused such a big commotion for this, how boring!"
Hearing this, the two finally understood; they had been underestimated!
"Damn you, you're seeking death! Killing our Rakshasa Organization members and yet you dare to speak so arrogantly, take your life!" the woman with the red-glowing mask glared at the heavy sword man and shouted angrily.
In the next second, she made the first move, attacking the heavy sword man with a slender sword.
Her speed was incredible, her thin sword flashing, creating only afterimages that made Ye Feng's eyes blur.
However, the heavy sword man showed no panic at the female assassin's thrust, not even attempting to dodge.
"Senior, be careful!"
Ye Feng, worried, quickly warned him.
But in the next second, the middle man's action made Ye Feng's eyes widen in disbelief...
