Zhang Yang contacted Zhang Tie three times; however, he received no response. Therefore, Zhang Yang felt a bit gloomy.

However, Zhang Yang didn"t think that Zhang Tie would encounter any danger at this moment. Firstly, most of the people didn"t know Zhang Tie"s current situation. In Zhang Tie"s words, only sage-level demon knights dared find him trouble. Secondly, Zhang Tie was in Golden Light City in the territory of Huaiyuan Palace. Thirdly, Zhang Yang had failed to contact Zhang Tie many times before due to various reasons. In many cases, Zhang Tie contacted him. Therefore, Zhang Yang didn"t imagine the worst scenario.

Zhang Yang even doubted that Zhang Tie had some love sparkles with his senior sister apprentices after having a drink. As Zhang Tie was “busy”, he didn"t respond to Zhang Yang timely.

As Zhang Tie"s elder brother, Zhang Yang understood Zhang Tie better than anyone else. Zhang Yang knew that Zhang Tie was amorous and soft-hearted. Additionally, Zhang Tie was extremely attractive to women at this moment. Furthermore, as a man, Zhang Yang knew men"s shortcomings. In this case, if Zhang Tie lost his mind, he would really sleep with his senior sister apprentices. In Zhang Yang"s eyes, given Zhang Tie"s status, it was nothing serious for him to do that.

Out of the concern for Zhang Tie"s health, Zhang Yang contacted an executive of Jinwu Business Group in Golden Light City, having him a.s.sign someone to Wild Lake Building to check Zhang Tie"s situation.

Whereas, Zhang Yang didn"t know that Wild Lake Building had caught a big fire too when the valley in Jinwu City was burning.

At this moment, the pines and the reeds around Wild Lake Building as well as those buildings in Wild Lake Building were all burning, scaring waterfowls away from the water nearby. However, it was quiet across Wild Lake Building as n.o.body was alive.

The big fire wiped out all the malicious traces.

…

After Zhang Yang arrived at the valley 20 minutes later, a shadow had climbed over Zhang mansion"s high wall. The moment it rolled into the courtyard, a voice had sounded, “Who"s that?”

Closely after that were collisions between sabers and swords, m.u.f.fled voices and miserable shrieks. Zhang mansion was in a big chaos.

Such a night was destined to be chaotic. How could Zhang Tie"s parents sleep well? When they were waiting for news in the parlor, unexpectedly, they heard collisions between sabers and swords.

“Lord and Madam, please go to the bas.e.m.e.nt for the sake of your safety. A group of a.s.sa.s.sinators intruded into our mansion. We would never let them in with the help of Mr. Liu!”

When Zhang Tie"s parents felt a bit flurried, the head of guards in Zhang mansion had entered the parlor with a team of armored guards who were holding weapons and s.h.i.+elds. They formed two circles around the mansion of Zhang Tie"s parents.

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Ping asked the head of guards, “How about Zhang Yang"s mansion?”

“Don"t worry, Lord, I"ve already transferred young master"s wives and children into the bas.e.m.e.nt. Only after a short while, these a.s.sa.s.sinators would be solved!” The head of guards answered in low voice.

“Lord and Madam, please wait. As there"re too many a.s.sa.s.sinators, at the order of the young master, I will protect you to hide from them outside the mansion…”

The moment Zhang Tie"s parents were going into the bas.e.m.e.nt, they had heard a voice from outside the mansion. At the same time, Mr. Liu approached them with a gla.s.sy-eyed look from the garden.

At the sight of Mr. Liu, Zhang Tie"s parents were both shocked as they didn"t know whose words to follow, Mr. Liu or the head of guards.

At the sight of Mr. Liu, the head of guards frowned at once. It was not reasonable for Mr. Liu to appear here at this moment; he should be killing a.s.sa.s.sinators outside. “Is that the order of the young master? But we"ve not received that order!”

“The young master contacted me just now using remote-sensing finger ring. Give way to me. I will take away Lord and Madam!” Mr. Liu said in the courtyard as he watched the wall of guards outside the mansion of Zhang Tie"s parents.

“Mr. Liu, please wait for a second. I will contact the young master to confirm it. No matter what, we should have a plan B for any emergency. We"ve been told by the young master. In this case, as long as Lord and Madam hide in the back room, even knights couldn"t break the backroom in a short period, not to mention those a.s.sa.s.sinators outside!” The head of guards said as he took out his portable remote-sensing device to contact Zhang Yang.

However, before he took out his remote-sensing device, Mr. Liu had launched a strike.

With a loud sound “boom…”, those guards around this mansion had been covered by Mr. Liu"s battle qi as their limbs flew in all directions in a split second, making it pretty b.l.o.o.d.y outside the mansion.

It was absolutely a holocaust for a black iron knight to launch a strike towards these fighters below LV 15 in such a close distance all of a sudden. As a result, dozens of guards outside the mansion were all killed by Mr. Liu before they realized what happened.

“You…” The head of guards was so infuriated that his eyes seemed about to pop out. Nevertheless, before he made any response, Mr. Liu had already come to his front like a ghost. With only one palm, the guard"s chest had become sunken completely. Closely after that, he exploded into b.l.o.o.d.y mist in the parlor…

When some blood sprayed onto the faces of Zhang Tie"s parents, they both quivered a bit.

Mr. Liu then walked towards them in the b.l.o.o.d.y mist as his calm face had already turned as grim as that of a ghost, “In case of trouble, please follow me…”

Zhang Tie"s mom looked completely pale. However, she decisively shook her head facing that knight-level Mr. Liu. She just held Zhang Ping"s hand tightly as she threw a glance at Zhang Ping and shook her head, saying, “We will just stay here!”

“If so, please forgive me…” Mr. Liu"s voice turned cold at once. The moment he wanted to move one step forward, he suddenly quivered all over. After lowering his head, he saw a part of the pitch-dark tip of the sword that came out of his chest in an unimaginable manner. When he looked back, he saw the old slave servant Zhang Gui was gazing at him icily…

‘Zhang Gui? No way! Where did he come from? Why such a sword strike is so sharp and terrifying? It"s a sword gesture of a.s.sa.s.sination that only knights in dark could learn. Additionally, the attacker should be an earth knight…"

‘Zhang Gui is an earth knight!"

“You…” Mr. Liu wanted to say something.

However, Zhang Gui rocked his sword blade, turning Mr. Liu who made a killing spree just now into b.l.o.o.d.y mist in a split second.

Zhang Gui killed Mr. Liu like how the latter killed those guards in Zhang mansion. What a quick karma!

Zhang Tie"s dad and mom were both shocked by such a fast change as they didn"t know what to say.

“Lord and Madam, it"s young master Zhang Tie who told this old slave to hide my real ident.i.ty to protect Zhang family secretly…” Zhang Gui bowed towards Zhang Tie"s parents before explaining respectfully.

“It"s…Guoguo!” Zhang Tie"s dad widely opened his eyes at once.

“Yes, it"s young master"s order!”

Right then, some powerhouses among those a.s.sa.s.sinators in black clothes had reached 100 m away from this mansion and were rus.h.i.+ng over here while brandis.h.i.+ng their weapons.

“Lord and Madam, please wait for a short moment…” Zhang Gui told Zhang Tie"s parents. Closely after that, he disappeared from the room. In the next second, Zhang Gui reappeared in the sky above this mansion where he could overlook the entire Zhang mansion. Closely after that, Zhang Gui launched a strike. In the blink of an eye, he had launched hundreds of sword strikes. Like a peac.o.c.k in its pride, the earth knight"s sharp sword qi immediately spread over Zhang mansion. They even reached 1,000 m away. As a result, all the a.s.sa.s.sinators were swatted and killed like flies in a split second.

After killing these a.s.sa.s.sinators, Zhang Gui released a b.l.o.o.d.y battle qi tornado into the sky, which could be seen within 600 miles in the evening.

An earth knight was fighting in Jinwu City, where Zhang Tie"s elder brother and parents were living…

Zhang Gui"s battle qi tornado shocked the entire Youzhou Province, even Xuanyuan Hill at once…
