The group of assassins immediately went forward and attacked the ten people. The assassin leader sneered, he also made a move. Limu gritted his teeth, and stood up. He gathered all of his remaining strength to confront the opponents. His expression was awfully cold.
Feng Mingyue took out the red whip and began to attack the nearest enemy. Her eyes turned fierce and ruthless at this moment, as long as the person in front of her was the enemy, she would immediately attack without any hesitation.
Meanwhile, the assassin leader took out a long sword and dashed toward Limu at the fastest speed. The other party won’t be idle either, he abruptly summoned his spiritual weapon, which was the metal long spear that barely appeared.
The assassin leader halted, he raised his brows with interest. “Oh? You didn’t take out your powerful weapon, it seems like you still take me lightly.”
Limu’s expression sharpened. He raised the long spear in his hand, and advanced forward. The blue mist suddenly gathered at the edge of the metal long spear, and before everyone could react, the blue mist rushed toward the assassin leader at lightning speed.
However, the opponent was not a weak chicken, so he successfully avoided the attack. Limu wasn’t at all disappointed when he saw the opponent could dodge his attack. He knew the other party’s strength very clearly. Besides, even if he was powerful, he had never underestimated his opponent.
The assassin leader used his sword to counterattack, Limu caught a glimpse of the sword sprinting toward him. He hurriedly turned his heel and dodge to the side. Then he raised his leg and kicked the assassin leader abandoned, making the other party staggered and fell onto the ground.
Seeing that the opportunity was in his hand, Limu hastily lifted his long spear and struck it toward the assassin leader who was laying on the ground. However, the opponent’s reaction was also fast, he also raised his sword to confront Limu.
The assassin leader transferred all his spiritual energy to his sword while engaging with Limu’s long spear. He grinned wickedly. “Your highness, you should know that your power isn’t stable right now. So you are not my opponent at all.”
With that said, he raised one of his hands and hit it hard against Limu’s chest, making the other party caught off guard and stumbled backward three steps, and he also spat out a mouthful of blood.
Everyone similarly noticed Limu’s situation at this moment. Feng Mingyue wanted to help him many times but was prevented by those assassins. The others were also the same, they still tangled themselves with those annoying assassins.
Just as everyone thought that the assassin leader would kill Limu directly, they saw him retreat backward a few meters away from Limu while smiling meaningfully.
“Your highness, since I’m determined to kill you and complete my mission today, you should be prepared.” The assassin leader laughed. The sword in his hands suddenly changed into a black sword filled with a demonic aura.
As if aware of something, all the assassins hurriedly withdrew and knelt on one knee behind their leader.
Feng Mingyue and Limu’s faces turned instantly cold. She said, “This is the power of the Demon King’s weapon. However, the weapon in his hand is not the real one.”
Li Qin quickly voiced her thoughts. “So this is only one part of the real weapon’s power right?”
This time it was not Feng Mingyue who responded to her question, it was Limu instead. The man’s voice was light, and emotionless. “We can’t take it lightly. You should know that the Demon King’s power is already at its peak.”
Feng Mingyue’s four subordinates gasped in surprise. They only knew that the Demon King was powerful but they had never thought his power had already reached its peak. None of the spiritual martial artists in this whole continent was his opponent. Nevertheless, there was still one person who might be able to defeat the Demon King. But it was a pity that she died.
Before everyone could react, the assassin leader lifted the sword that was filled with demonic aura up, then a black mist suddenly gathered together at the edge of the sword. Thunder and lightning were rumbling and striking down to the earth. The wind was blowing fiercely while roaring in everyone’s ears.
The ten people raised their hands to prevent the wind from hitting their faces, all while squinting their eyes slightly at the opponents who were standing opposite them. This time Limu held the long spear tightly, when he closed his eyes, wanting to transfer his spiritual energy to the long spear. He unexpectedly felt that every part of his body was very painful and numb, the spiritual energy in his body weakened from time to time.
Blood flew out of his mouth, the hand that was holding the long spear also shaken. Limu clenched his jaw tightly, he couldn’t help but cursed a few times in his heart. The poison had already spread to every part of his body, and it also began to destroy his organs. Once in a while, the spiritual energy also tried to fight back the poison in his body.
Feng Mingyue discovered Limu’s current condition. Her face changed slightly, she hastily walked over and grabbed his arms. Her voice trembled. “You…stop it. We can’t beat them, don’t force yourself…if you continue like this, the strength that you cultivate from the beginning until now will become a waste. And you…you might die as well.”
However, despite Feng Mingyue’s pleading, Limu continued to gather all his remaining spiritual energy and transfer it to his long spear. Considering that sooner or later he would die, he could at least use all of his last strength to protect these people and let them leave this forest alive. At this moment, the man’s complexion was deathly pale, yet his eyes were extremely cold and emotionless as if he was just a puppet that was used to slaughter people.
Feng Mingyue’s hand that was grabbing Limu’s arms turned as white as a paper. At this moment, tears slid down from her crimson eyes, and she murmured unconsciously, “Stop it, please…I’m begging you. Brother Yan…”
Limu’s action froze, his heart was beating violently while his head hurt, as if it was being hammered by some heavy stone. He released the long spear in his hand, and began to clutched his hurtful head. Yet, Limu couldn’t help but raise his head and asked the lady in front of him, “You…what did you call me just now?”
