Assassination

Late at night, a shadows were leaping through the walls, crossing the garden and surrounded the certain building . Three of the shadows leapt over the roof while the others were slowly entered the house. The shadows were very agile.

After awhile, sounds of clanking metals and crashing were heared from the inside.

The roof blocks were fastly but silently removed to made a man way. Then one of the three shadows leapt down, holding a sword, pointing it directly to the left chest of the lying figure in the bed. Just as before it hit the chest, the sword was blocked and the shadow was sent flying crashing to the side wall. The lying figure fastly leapt out from the blanket while holding a sword.

The two shadows up the roof saw what happened and were shocked. They looked into each others eyes. 'The City Lord was really cured?' Then one after another they leapt down the hole to give a hand.

The shadow who was crashed into the wall looked at the standing figure who successfully avoided his attacked and leapt out from the bed. He squinted his eyes as the figure was standing in the front blocking the oil lamps light.

The figure has a greyish hair and stood like the City Lord. As the shadow stood up, he saw his two brothers leaping through the hole and started attacking the cured City Lord.

The shadows were surprised by the City Lord's strength.

'What the heck kind of antidote did this City Lord take to be able to recovered at this extent in just few hours?

'Sh*t! I thought he's still weak but he was not just cured even his strength was fully recovered as well.'

'Sh*t! I thought he will be finished by just one strike but it's not. Sh*t let's finished this quickly before the other guards come.'

The three shadows immediately surrounded the City Lord and attacked together from the different angles.

The City Lord was clearly skilled as he successfully avoided their attacked. The four fighting shadows were like dancing from the reflection of the oil lamp light.

Facing the three expert assassins, the City Lord was hit one of the assassin's blow and was pushed a few steps back near the lighting lamp.

The three assassins were shocked to see the City Lord's face being brightened up from the single light inside the room.

The handsome man wipe out the blood from the corner of his lips and watched the three black figures sharply.

Angers was written all over his face. Then he gave a shot looked in one corner of the room before he started his moves against the three.

Minutes passed, one figure was sent flying out the window with blood in the chest. Then another one was crashing to the wall with blood dripping out from the lower part of the abdomen. The remaining one was trying to scape but failed and was forcefully kneeled down the floor, wounded.

Gu Jingshen put his sword in the neck of the assassin and unmasked the man.
