Chapter 924: Chapter 924: Blood Splatters on Spring Moon Tower (Part 2)

In an instant, Spring Moon Tower turned into a killing battlefield.

At the same time as the dancing girl and other female assassins attempted to murder Wang Chen, the musicians, who were originally playing their instruments, tore off their disguises and the instruments in their hands instantly became murderous weapons.

Whizz, whizz, whizz!

Accompanied by a spine-chilling screeching sound, over ten tendrils of silver thread shot towards Wang Chen all at once.

Each strand of silver was imbued with immense power, showing extraordinary flexibility!

Wang Chen’s gaze flashed and he dropped the severed hand he was holding, suddenly clawing forwards into empty space.

A circle shield of dark gold appeared in his grasp in a flash!

The next moment, the silver threads flying towards Wang Chen were blocked by the shield, immediately creating a series of explosive crackling sounds.

Wang Chen gave a cold snort and his whole body surged forward in a rush.

He swung the shield heavily down upon an assassin who had crept up on him.

Bang!

The nimble assassin was brutally swept away, blood spraying from his mouth as he flew, his bones breaking unknowingly in number.

Instantly, he slammed into a pillar behind him, rebounded and fell onto the floor, exhaling more than inhaling.

By then, Wang Chen had already gathered the four Evil Wheels of Corpse Dog, Obscure Tortoise, Sparrow Shadow, and Swallowing Thief, with more than half of his vital points opened. This crushing blow carried more than a thousand pounds of force, and the fact that the opponent wasn’t instantly smashed into pulp was a testament to their formidable strength.

But at this time, he felt no joy in killing a powerful enemy, instead, his alertness skyrocketed.

Wang Chen moved his feet without hesitation.

Hiss!

Just as he had changed his position, a bright sword tip suddenly protruded through where he had been standing.

There was an assassin hidden beneath the floorboards!

If Wang Chen’s reaction was just a fraction slower, he could have been stabbed through the sole of his foot.

This relentless and vicious pattern of assassination made the fierce Evil Qi coalesce between Wang Chen’s brows, and he suddenly put away the round shield and grasped a long spear.

The Qiling Spear appeared!

Thud!

The sharp spearhead pierced through the thick floorboards effortlessly, penetrating more than three feet deep.

“Ah!”

A piercing scream came from below.

When Wang Chen pulled out the spear, a plume of blood mist sprayed up.

At this moment, Spring Moon Tower was in utter chaos, filled with screams, groans, the sounds of clashing weapons, and hasty footsteps like the coming of doomsday.

Wang Chen’s gaze swept over the room, and he immediately thrust his spear like a dragon into the melee.

Qiu, along with three Junior Flags, was fighting a group of assassins, and Wang Chen’s arrival instantly tipped the scales of victory.

“Retreat!”

Seeing the situation turn dire, an assassin immediately threw a dark sphere onto the floor.

Boom!

The sphere exploded violently, releasing a large cloud of poisonous smoke that obstructed everyone’s vision.

Qiu roared, “Everyone be careful!”

Although Wang Chen’s vision was obscured by the thick smoke, with the power of the four Evil Wheels, his perception was far sharper than usual, instantly locking onto an assassin closest to him.

He thrust out the Qiling Spear again without a second thought.

The spear punched through the smoke, ruthlessly impaling the body of his target.

But because of the surging poison smoke, Wang Chen, exercising caution, held his breath, retracted his spear, and retreated to a window without pursuing the remaining enemies.

When the night wind blew through the window, dispersing the smoke within the tower, the remaining assassins had already fled far away.

Leaving behind nothing but disarray and bodies strewn all over the ground.

“Cough, cough!”

A Junior Flag covered his mouth and coughed a few times before hurriedly extracting a detoxification pill and swallowing it, then he said resentfully, “It’s an assassin from the Hidden Dragon Hall!”

At that moment, another Junior Flag excitedly grabbed a woman from the ground, shouting, “There’s still someone alive here!”

The captured woman was limp all over, her right hand gone, and blood was still spurting from the wound.

Her face was as pale as paper, showing a contemptuous smile, then her head tilted, and black blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

“Damn!”

The Junior Flag who had grabbed her threw the body heavily onto the ground.

Old Qiu, witnessing this scene, had a particularly gloomy complexion, “It’s indeed the method of the Hidden Dragon Hall.”

At this time, there was a flurry of footsteps from the stairs, as guards in blood cloaks rushed up.

They had been gambling in the underground casino of the Spring Moon Tower before and rushed up urgently upon noticing the commotion, having missed the battle.

All they could do was clean up the aftermath now.

Since Spring Moon Tower was considered the foremost high-class establishment in Linjiang City, the people inside were either rich or noble, and now such a major incident had inevitably alerted the defense forces in the city.

First to arrive were the Patrol and Arrest Officers, followed by the City Guard Army, and finally, even Pang Tai was disturbed.

If Wang Chen and the others weren’t part of the Blood Cloak Guard, they would have faced significant trouble, even though they were the targets of the assassination.

Despite this, they were still questioned thoroughly.

Which made everyone very angry!

By the time they returned to the Defense Area of Linjiang, it was the middle of the night, and Pang Tai kept Wang Chen and Old Qiu in the study to question them.

After listening to Old Qiu’s detailed description, the General Flag looked thoughtfully at Wang Chen, “So, you’re saying that the assassin from the Hidden Dragon Hall came specifically for you?”

Wang Chen smiled bitterly, “I don’t even know what the Hidden Dragon Hall is.”

Of course, he didn’t deny that he was the target of the assassination—that much was obvious!

Pang Tai and Old Qiu exchanged glances, and the latter said in a deep voice, “The Hidden Dragon Hall can be considered a major enemy of our Blood Cloak Guard…”

The Hidden Dragon Hall had a significant reputation; its origin was no ordinary matter. In fact, this organization had been a thorn in the side of Great Liang for hundreds of years, a group like the Rebel Faction that had to be eradicated.

Yet, due to its ties to matters from previous dynasties, the Great Liang Imperial Court always shrouded it in deep secrecy, forbidding public discussion.

It was quite normal for Wang Chen to be unaware of it.

The initial Hidden Dragon Hall was a restorationist organization, aiming to overthrow Great Liang and restore the former dynasty. Relying on the secret wealth of the former Royal Family, they had repeatedly caused trouble for Great Liang and created countless difficulties.

The Hidden Dragon Hall also had intricate connections with today’s Rebel Faction.

However, for hundreds of years, Great Liang had remained strong and unyielding, and the power of the Hidden Dragon Hall had been continuously weakened until it went into hiding within the Martial World, becoming a thoroughly covert organization.

As the wealth of the previous dynasty had been squandered, the Hidden Dragon Hall had to resort to dirty deeds such as espionage and assassination.

It had completely transformed.

The Hidden Dragon Hall was undoubtedly a sworn enemy of the Blood Cloak Guard; their covert battles had been ongoing for centuries, deepening their feud.

They were also very familiar with each other!

Pang Tai, frowning, asked, “Have you offended anyone?”

Wang Chen was merely a Junior Flag, and one who was newly promoted at that.

He was originally unknown, and even though the Hidden Dragon Hall harbored a great grudge against the Blood Cloak Guard, they would not unnecessarily deploy such force for an assassination.

Unless someone wanted Wang Chen dead!

Ordinary assassins would definitely not dare to kill a member of the Blood Cloak Guard due to their inability to withstand the latter’s retaliation.

But the Hidden Dragon Hall would dare to take on such a job and would even be eager to kill members of the Blood Cloak Guard.

A thought crossed Wang Chen’s mind.

Someone indeed wanted him dead, or rather, they wanted Ling Zhiyuan’s life!
