Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world

Yan Ju suffered the lightest injuries, but his eyes held the most despair.

He had prepared to sacrifice himself to buy his junior brothers and sisters a chance to escape, but who knew that Bao Chao was so strong that even sacrificing himself was impossible.

Their lives and deaths were not even their own to decide.

Yun Liao wore a bitter expression:

"I didn't expect our luck to really be this bad."

"Why did this old thing have to come to this forsaken place?"

Hua Lan Yue sighed twice, but couldn't say anything.

She could only grip her butterfly double knives tightly, preparing for a desperate fight.

Bao Chao stood in the rain, looking at the three with disdain.

Ants are just ants.

In his palm, these three ants could only be manipulated by him.

Bao Chao raised his palm.

In his hand, he was holding three face masks.

Yan Ju and the others were suddenly shocked and hurriedly touched their faces.

The masks they used to cover their faces had been taken away by Bao Chao at some point.

Now, their faces were completely exposed.

However, it didn't matter anymore, because they wouldn't live for long.

"Master, should we kill them or keep them?"

Bao Chao was asking Yang Jingye.

In the study, Qiu Zhuo was completely stunned by this scene.

Although he didn't understand martial arts, he could see that Bao Chao was definitely an extremely terrifying expert!

No wonder Yang Jingye hadn't panicked in the slightest from beginning to end.

With such a strong person by his side, he could indeed be fearless.

This greatly shocked Qiu Zhuo.

Yang Jingye's hidden strength once again exceeded his expectations.

Yang Jingye laughed at Qiu Zhuo:

"How is it?"

His fear of Yang Jingye deepened even further.

Yang Jingye waved his hand, and two maids immediately helped him up from his chair.

He raised his voice and said,

"Since these petty thieves have been confirmed to be members of the Guiyi Sect, there is no need to keep them alive."

"Mr. Bao, we must eliminate the root of the weed—"

Yang Jingye didn't finish his sentence.

Suddenly!

"Rumble rumble rumble!!!"

Thunder roared in the sky.

At the same time.

Bao Chao's expression suddenly changed drastically:

"Not good!"

"There's another expert!"

Before he finished speaking, Bao Chao exerted force with both feet and quickly turned around.

His posture suggested that he had to return to Yang Jingye's side immediately.

Yang Jingye's face had just revealed a hint of doubt.

Suddenly—

"Bang!!!!"

The roof of the study instantly shattered.

A black, heavy object crashed down fiercely along with the broken tiles!

Yang Jingye didn't have time to react at all.

The black, heavy object had already smashed onto his head.

"Crack!"

The crisp sound of bones breaking rang out.

The black, heavy object seemed to be hollow, and Yang Jingye's head was instantly encased within it.

However, the powerful downward force of the heavy object still directly broke Yang Jingye's shoulder bones, and the enormous force even forced Yang Jingye to kneel on the ground instantly.

His knees were completely shattered!

It was a black iron-cast weapon, like a huge iron helmet or cauldron, with a circle of chilling blades around the edge.

The top of this weapon was connected to a thick black iron chain.

The heavy weight of the weapon made it impossible for Yang Jingye to stand up.

"Master!"

The four maids came back to their senses and hurriedly tried to rescue Yang Jingye.

Only when these four maids took action did Qiu Zhuo realize in horror that they were also martial artists!

The next second.

As the iron chain quickly contracted, the inner circle of blades on the terrifying weapon suddenly tightened.

"Swish!"

The sharp blades of the inner circle generated a powerful force, instantly severing Yang Jingye's neck.

Yang Jingye's head was also drawn into the weapon and flew towards the hole in the roof.

The enormous force of the weapon leaving even made it impossible for the four maids to stop it.

One of the maids even had her wrist cut off by the outer circle of blades!

Yang Jingye's headless corpse knelt on the ground, blood spurting from the severed neck.

Qiu Zhuo stood aside, and it wasn't until he was splattered with warm blood that he suddenly woke up and ran away screaming.

All of this happened too quickly, in the blink of an eye.

By the time Bao Chao rushed over, Yang Jingye's head had already been taken away.

"Good dog thief!"

"The Guiyi Sect actually left a backup plan?"

"Damn it!"

Bao Chao looked up at the large hole in the roof with a livid face, gnashing his teeth in anger.

He only thought that he had fallen for the Guiyi Sect's scheme to lure the tiger away from the mountain, first using a few juniors to distract him, and then hiding the real killer move behind.

But Bao Chao couldn't figure out how the opponent's aura could have been concealed from him for so long?

As a fifth-rank expert, his perception was extremely strong.

As soon as Yan Ju and the others entered the county office, he had already captured their movements.

But this time, the opponent who killed Yang Jingye seemed to suddenly appear out of thin air on the roof of the study.

By the time he sensed it, it was already too late to return to defend.

"Dog thief!"

"Do you think you can escape?"

Bao Chao stomped on the ground, his figure soaring into the air, rushing towards the large hole in the roof.

Yang Jingye was a major financial backer of the Senluo Sect, providing a huge amount of funds to the Senluo Sect over the years.

Precisely because of this, Bao Chao, as an elder of the Senluo Sect, had personally come to protect Yang Jingye's safety.

Now that Yang Jingye had been killed in front of him, it was simply a slap in the face to the Senluo Sect, and it also cut off the Senluo Sect's cash cow.

How could Bao Chao tolerate this?

Seeing that Bao Chao was about to rush to the roof.

The next moment.

"Bang!!!!"

The roof tiles were broken open again, and a figure fell down fiercely like pouring rain.

At the same time, a black giant sword slashed down towards Bao Chao's head!

The thief who killed Yang Jingye not only didn't escape, but was actually taking the initiative to attack!

"Whoosh!"

The giant sword carried the inertia of the fall, coupled with the force of the slash, resulting in extreme speed, creating a whistling wind.

Bao Chao was shocked.

He should have had nowhere to borrow strength in mid-air, but who would have thought that he would twist his body like a nimble crane spreading its wings, forcibly shifting himself to the side.

The giant sword failed to hit Bao Chao.

But a maid below was not so lucky, and was directly cut down by the giant sword.

With one sword, this maid was split in half!

"Bang!!!!!"

The assassin landed heavily.

His weight seemed particularly heavy, smashing the ground with a loud noise and creating spider web-like cracks.

The assassin slowly stood up.

When everyone saw his face clearly, they couldn't help but gasp.

This figure was at least two meters tall.

He wore a pointed helmet, a metal skull mask, shoulder armor, and a gray-black robe.

In one hand, he held a heavy sword.

The other hand, however, was actually a mechanical arm, without a palm, only a beast-headed iron box.

The iron chain extending from the beast-headed iron box connected to the strange weapon that killed Yang Jingye.

This weapon was like a steel round shield, or like a huge helmet, but everyone knew that its real purpose was to harvest heads!

The heavy rain falling from the hole in the roof constantly poured on his helmet, mask, and shoulder armor, splashing clusters of water.

As this figure appeared, a cold, heavy, and gloomy aura emanated from the study.

Bao Chao's figure landed two zhang away, and he stared at the skull-masked man with a gloomy expression and asked:

"Which member of the Guiyi Sect are you?"

"Dare to give your name!"

Bao Chao knew the famous members of the Guiyi Sect like the back of his hand, and there was no one like the person in front of him.

Then there were only two possibilities.

This person was the hidden strength of the Guiyi Sect, that is, a hidden expert who was carrying out special missions.

Or, this person was a foreign aid invited by the Guiyi Sect.

In the small courtyard.

Yan Ju, Yun Liao, and Hua Lan Yue were also stunned.

They had originally thought that they were bound to die and were prepared to meet their end.

But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the situation would have taken an amazing turn.

This left the three of them unable to recover for a while.

Hua Lan Yue even couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"Senior brother, could this be a senior expert that Master invited to secretly help us?"

She was led by Bao Chao's words and really thought that this skull-masked man was a master from the sect.

Yan Ju and Yun Liao also looked at each other, completely confused.

Obviously, they still didn't understand the situation at all.

At this time.

The metal-masked man was already carrying the giant sword and slowly walking towards Bao Chao… …
