Berserk God of War-Chapter 1547: Assassination—Kill Without Seizing the Banner
The arrow light was exceptionally abrupt, directly knocking Xiaotai’s blood flying out.
In that instant, the Emperor Martial Stage and Jiutian who were about to turn around were stunned on the spot, Xiaotai certainly was too.
The next moment, their expressions changed drastically as they simultaneously shouted: "Who is it?"
Buzz...
The response was a second sound of breaking wind.
Brutal arrow winds appeared suddenly, instantly reaching a count of ten.
The ten arrow winds were both fast and fierce, the middle-aged Emperor Martial Stage expert couldn’t react at all, and then... thud thud thud thud!
Ten arrows plunged directly into the hearts of ten young talents in the courtyard.
In an instant, all ten died simultaneously, without even having the time to scream. The middle-aged Emperor Martial Stage expert was dumbfounded, his eyes widened as he unleashed the Spiritual Platform Sea Power and roared: "Who are you, come out for me..."
He was both angry and anxious, afraid, as they followed the Qianwang Holy Tower’s sweep, how could there be a covert attack?
Ten disciples, all dead.
However, what responded to him was an incomparably cold voice that said: "Beast Skill: Blood Charm Wind Vortex!"
As soon as the words fell, the fresh blood from the ten freshly dead young talents spurted out, instantly transforming into a scarlet cage surrounding the middle-aged Emperor Martial Stage, then a sword light pierced through the wind.
The sword light was also fast and ruthless, silently stabbing into the middle-aged Emperor Martial Stage’s forehead...
In the blink of an eye, the scarlet wind dropped slowly from the middle-aged Emperor Martial Stage, and in front of him, was already another person.
A young man in black, holding a long sword, cold and ruthless.
The middle-aged Emperor Martial Stage’s eyes widened in disbelief, saying: "Si, Sikong Jing!"
After speaking, he fell heavily to the ground, dead.
Sikong Jing slowly withdrew his sword, glanced indifferently around him, then turned to leave. He muttered to himself as he walked, "Qianwang Holy Tower, how could I let you take too many courtyards."
"Taking down ten means you take ten fewer battle flags..."
After speaking, Sikong Jing disappeared from the spot, hurrying quickly to the next courtyard.
Through Pei Yuzheng’s previous conversation, Sikong Jing had a complete understanding of the situation in the Hanyi District, and he could not let the Qianwang Holy Tower succeed, so he had to eliminate as many as possible before the chaos of the Hanyi District erupted.
A half of the battle flags or a third, don’t even think about it.
And Sikong Jing rejoiced at having entered the Hanyi District one step ahead, otherwise Hanluan City and even the future of the Central Plains East would be controlled.
The battle flag courtyards were sporadically distributed in every part of the Hanyi District, some hidden and some very obvious.
Generally, when reaching the next courtyard, there may not be anyone inside...
In other words, under normal circumstances, one might arrive in vain, wasting a lot of time, but for Sikong Jing, such a situation wouldn’t occur. He would precisely lock onto each courtyard with people grabbing flags.
Because he had sent out the Little Demon Beast, tracking all those who sided with the Qianwang Holy Tower.
However, when he reached the second courtyard, he was a step late, the battle flag of this courtyard had already been taken, but Sikong Jing didn’t care, because the one who had taken this courtyard was also an Emperor Martial with ten young talents.
Merely for taking a battle flag.
He killed the other nine, ensuring that the flags nearby would not be grabbed by these nine.
Repeating the method... buzz buzz buzz!
Sikong Jing continued to eliminate nine people plus an Emperor Martial Stage in the same covert way, now having reached the Shadow Control Realm, making assassination of ordinary Emperor Martial Stage individuals not difficult.
He had many methods, from the Blood Charm Demon Cat’s Beast Skill to the Ice Eternal Mystic Turtle’s Beast Skill.
Paralyze then kill, silently!
As for the person who had taken the battle flag, he couldn’t attack, but since this person had taken the flag, they couldn’t leave the courtyard or even send messages, and Sikong Jing certainly wouldn’t let them see his face.
Thus, Sikong Jing lurked like a ghost in the Hanyi District, killing with covert arrows.
Upon encountering those unbeatable in the third realm of the Emperor Martial Stage, he would evade, but for others, he would still proceed to kill, and for Pei Yuzheng and the Qianwang Holy Tower, didn’t they say they wouldn’t seize the Holy Flag first?
Then naturally he wouldn’t bother for now...
Kill, kill, kill...
Following the intelligence provided by the Little Demon Beast, Sikong Jing lurked through the Hanyi District like a hidden devil, constantly killing undercover, and these forces that sided with the Qianwang Holy Tower certainly couldn’t all be in one place.
They had already assigned the courtyards across different areas, some in the east, some in the west.
Some went directly to more distant courtyards, others in nearby courtyards... meaning some had to run a distance before breaking courtyards to seize battle flags, which gave Sikong Jing plenty of time.
It wouldn’t be a case of killing one batch and finding no time to kill another.
Also because of the distributed areas, after killing one batch, others couldn’t immediately discover...
As for those Emperor Martial Stage experts he couldn’t contend with, Sikong Jing avoided them without worry, even if they seized two or three battle flags it was insignificant, since major forces had begun to invade.
Let others stop them...
As Cang Lin said, other forces could not continue slaughtering, or it would only allow the Qianwang Holy Tower to seize more battle flags, so now all forces stopped fighting, aiming solely at the Qianwang Holy Tower.
The sound of chaos...
A dense crowd of young talents, led by Emperor Martial Stage experts, rushed into the Hanyi District.
Those major forces displeased with the Qianwang shouted mightily: "Find those who sided with the Qianwang Holy Tower, kill!"
Also, Emperor Martial experts from major forces commanded: "Hurry to the direction of the Holy Flag and Emperor Flag, seize the Holy Flag at all costs."
This was the order from the Super Major Sects, as Pei Yuzheng anticipated, setting their sights vehemently on the Holy Flag and Emperor Flag, determined to contend with the Qianwang Holy Tower.
Suddenly, the whole Hanyi District fell into complete chaos.
Yet Sikong Jing ignored all this, now targeting places where there were fewer people, he no longer needed to assassinate where crowds gathered.
...
Time passed, while Sikong Jing continued his relentless assassinations...
A few disciples from forces just entering the Hanyi District simultaneously appeared outside the courtyard where Sikong Jing first killed, they exchanged glances, thinking to seize the courtyard, but immediately froze.
"Strange, the courtyard’s formation puzzle has been solved, so why does the battle flag still have an unowned aura?" An Emperor Martial questioned, murmuring while staring at the courtyard.
The reason for their stupefaction was the peculiar discovery within the courtyard,
The next moment, a second Emperor Martial remarked: "Inside, there’s a very strong smell of blood."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s hair stood slightly on end, then they simultaneously darted swiftly into the courtyard.
Subsequently, everyone was stunned.
The battle flag, still solidly planted in the ground...
Surrounded by eleven corpses with eyes open wide in death, ten slain by arrows, and an Emperor Martial with a sword through the forehead!
"Who did this?" someone with a hoarse voice asked.
They exchanged looks, clueless themselves.
Next, one young talent dumbly asked: "Killing but not taking the battle flag, why?"
