Song Zhenrong attempted to stop Nanyuan Shiran and his men from slaughtering civilians, but Shiran was more interested in a fight. Their duel began as Shiran's men continued the massacre. Elsewhere, a Nanyuan protector pursuing fleeing citizens was suddenly killed by a mysterious, swift attacker, who then disappeared into the Nanyuan Family compound.

Three shadows, like three dark currents, shuttled through the Xiaoxiang district of the Nanyuan Family.

If one were to look down from above at this moment, they would see these three shadows, although searching separately, were not too far apart from each other, vaguely maintaining a certain range between them.

That being said, their search progress was not slow in the slightest.

Because their target was clear, they only needed a quick glance to determine if the person they were looking for was in the area.

Under such actions, one of them, positioned eastward, was actually very close to the person they were searching for! Yet he was not aware of this.

Step!

Shu Shuipo’s pace was extremely swift, crossing a long road with just a light tiptoe on the ground, easily traversing!

Such Qinggong mastery was rare throughout the entire Da Liang City.

With such strength, he usually would not personally take on missions.

But this time was different.

This mission, the target to be assassinated this time, was extremely important to the Shu Family, possibly determining the prosperity or decline of the Shu Family for years, even decades to come!

Therefore, Shu Shuipo had to take action personally and had no choice but to do so!

His gaze swept over the houses beside him, and with a terrifying insight, he understood the situation inside the house at a glance, even as he sped past the house, the people inside didn’t notice his silhouette.

This involved multiple aspects.

The first was the Cultivation Technique.

His Cultivation Technique, besides the previously used skills in assassination like finger strikes and Flying knives, were selected and cultivated towards Concealment, convenient for assassination.

Backed by the entire Shu Family, he had a wide range of choices, and it was this strong background that made his terrifying Concealment means possible today.

Footsteps silent, Qi like a wandering thread, unless in the instant of an attack, his presence and breath were suppressed to the lowest extent by his Cultivation Technique while in this state.

In this state, unless the strength gap was very large, one would generally not be discovered!

Of course, being directly locked on by naked eyes was a different matter.

The Shu Family and the Nanyuan Family were at one time brothers in adversity, and each had a rough idea of the other’s foundation.

Looking at the entire Nanyuan Family, in a time when the backbone was in seclusion and recovery, fewer than ten could stand against him.

Fewer than five people could detect his concealment movement technique!

Such strength, such skill, yet being sent to assassinate a Doctor unarmed with the strength to truss a chicken, even Shu Shuipo felt the family was making a fuss over nothing.

But not just the Shu Family, the two assassins from the Yi Family and Lu Family were also seasoned individuals of strong strength, taking it just as seriously, naturally making Shu Shuipo set aside any contempt.

Step!

Crossing over the previous courtyard, he had already arrived in a new area.

The large courtyard area immediately made him alert.

Observing six directions! Listening to eight directions!

These are the basics for users of Hidden Weapons like him.

And these basics give a natural advantage in assassination and searching for people.

This is why he dared to say that the two from the Yi Family and Lu Family were somewhat inferior to him in assassination.

In assassination, he was truly professional!

Moreover, since breaking into the Nanyuan Family’s Guest Elder’s domain, he had been holding a Flying knife in his hand.

The small Shu flying knife, never missing!

As soon as he spots his target, he will throw the Flying knife without hesitation!

A doctor, with limited strength, faced with this knife, only had the result of instant death and instant death, with no second possibility!

Unfortunately, along this way, he hadn’t found the target.

But the moment he broke into the courtyard, Shu Shuipo saw it, saw the target he had been searching for! The one being acclaimed by the entire city, almost like a god... Divine Doctor Ding!

At this moment, time seemed to slow down.

Shu Shuipo found the target, yet the target and the young man beside the target hadn’t noticed him!

Because these two had their backs to him at this moment!

In front of them were boxes large and small, luxurious and exquisite, clearly containing extraordinary items.

But that was not important, what was important was that Shu Shuipo found the person.

So, Shu Shuipo, released the knife.

Swoosh!!!

Like a very short, extremely low-volume stone skimming across the water.

Shu Shuipo’s Flying knife, low sound! High speed! No trace! No wind!

The sonic boom and trailing sound usually generated at the extreme speed of throwing objects did not appear on his Flying knife.

It was an extremely silent knife, an extremely swift knife, and also... a sure-hit knife!

Finish!

The moment the Flying knife left his hand, Shu Shuipo, relying on decades of experience, already judged that this knife had hit! And that woman was already dead!

So, in the instant of action, he was already retracting, turning around, prepared for a fast retreat.

But what he didn’t expect was...

Just half a turn in his dashing escape, with the corner of his eye still vaguely seeing the situation over there in that instant...

Bam!!!

An earsplitting sound suddenly erupted from that side!

The supposedly flawless action of Shu Shuipo jammed in that instant!

He looked towards that side, his expression frozen.

Fingers.

Two fingers.
