Chapter 159

  Tang Yin made his move first, while the assassin made his move later. Tang Yin's fist also struck the assassin's chest a step earlier.

  Crack!

  With a crisp sound, the assassin felt like his chest was hit by a giant hammer, and his body involuntarily flew out, with only a loud rumbling sound in his ears. The assassin's body crashed into the wall, and he was completely embedded in it. Looking at his chest again, his armor was shattered, and blood dripped out, flowing profusely, and he fainted on the spot.

  "Ah?" The other four assassins were shocked and lost their color, how could a human fist possibly send a Spirit Armor warrior flying? Was Tang Yin a human or a monster?

  At this time, Shuona also crawled out from under the bed, looked at Tang Yin in surprise, and glanced at several assassins. She asked coldly: "Who are you? Who sent you?"

  "Your Highness?" The assassin never thought he would see Xiao Na in Tang Yin's room, and she was disheveled, having shared a bed with Tang Yin. It didn't take a close look at the bedside table to know what they had been doing. Several assassins' faces changed color at the same time, but only Ling Kai could block it, so outsiders couldn't see it.

  The four of them looked at each other and slowly retreated from the injured assassin without a word. To them, Tang Yin was indeed intimidating, but not as shocking as Xiao Na's sudden appearance. At this point, they had no intention of continuing to assassinate Tang Yin, only wanting to withdraw quickly.

  "Haha!" Tang Yin suddenly laughed, tilting his head and looking at his palm, saying in a low voice: "What? You few want to leave? But my room isn't one where you can come and go as you please."

  The four assassins heard this and glared at Tang Yin in unison, but soon their angry gazes turned into shock.

  All of a sudden, as Tang Yin spoke, his eyes cast downward and his palms converged and merged. His palms began to slowly stretch out, eventually extending two feet long, with the back being wide and the front narrow, tapering to a sharp point, with both sides having blades. His entire palm had transformed into a long knife.

  At this sight, not only were the assassins frightened, but Princess Xiao Na was also startled and stared at Tang Yin with a mixture of surprise and anger.

  He solidified his palm into a blade, and Tang Yin's mouth curled up high as he looked at the four assassins, sneering: "Leaving is easy, but you'll have to leave your lives behind!"

  The four assassins finally came back to their senses and looked at Tang Yin with a smile all over his face. The dead men exclaimed in unison, "Monster!"

  No, at this time, Tang Yin was a complete monster in their eyes, but they didn't know that this Tang Yin was just an avatar, he was transformed from spiritual energy, and his true self was a spiritual artifact.

  "Monster?" Tang Yin laughed even more happily, his eyes shining with an otherworldly light, and said in a low voice: "I like this word!" As he spoke, his body suddenly moved swiftly, charging straight at the assassin in the middle, while his hand knife aimed directly for the opponent's neck.

  Perhaps it was her current appearance that was too frightening, or perhaps it was her swift movements. When the assassin tried to dodge, Tang Yin had already arrived at his side with her knife in hand. At this moment, her companions on either side of her simultaneously raised their hands to block Tang Yin's attack, but before they could even swing their weapons, Tang Yin vanished into thin air. The four men were initially stunned, then suddenly realized that Tang Yin was behind them. They tried to turn around and counterattack, but it was too late. With a swift movement, Tang Yin appeared behind them like a shadow and kicked out with her legs, striking two of the assassins in the lower back and the other two in the buttocks. The four men flew forward like four cannonballs shot from their shoulders.

  Bang, bang - the four assassins crashed into the wall in front of them without warning, and even with their spiritual armor protecting their bodies, the force of the impact still left the four of them dazed and disoriented, their heads buzzing.

  Looking at the four people sitting or crawling on the ground, Tang Yin swung his knife and with a "whoosh" sound, a layer of black flames ignited on the knife. That was the Dark Fire. At this moment, Tang Yin had already made up his mind to kill.

  Black flames, a long knife transformed from his palm, at this moment, Tang Yin was no longer human in the eyes of ordinary people.

  Four assassins saw Tang Yin walking step by step, wanting to stand up but unable to do so, wanting to run but unable to escape, their eyes revealing intense fear and despair.

  "Save us! The princess is going to die!"

  At the sound of the voice, the other three assassins also shouted in unison: "Save the princess———"

  Xiao Na snapped back to reality, and at this moment, she heard the four people's cries for help, feeling very familiar. She had a sudden movement in her heart, took a step forward, rushed to the front of the four assassins, blocked them, and then looked up at Tang Yan, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. Even in his eyes, Tang Yan now was too frightening, even more like a demon than an evil spirit.

  She took a deep breath and pretended to be brave, saying quickly on her phone "You... you can't kill them?"

  Tang Yin's killing intent had already been stirred, how could it be dispelled by her few words? He pointed his knife at Xiao Na and said: "Get out of the way! If you don't want to be eaten by me, then get out of the way immediately!"

  His knife tip was about to touch Shona's nose, the latter could clearly see the black flames jumping on the knife body, and at such a close distance, the black fire seemed even more eerie.

  She shivered with a chill, afraid of returning, but she didn't take a step back. She gritted her teeth and said firmly: "No!"

  "Then you want to die with them!" Tang Yin's face wore a smile, but his tone was as cold as frost.

  "No matter what, I won't let you kill them!"

  Tang Yin furrowed his brow and slowly put down the hand knife he had raised.

  He had never spared women before, but Shona's status was unusual. She was the Princess of Bessa and it could be seen at the banquet that Sanchez doted on this daughter and always kept her by his side. If he killed her, not only would the peace talks with Bessa be blown, but the war might escalate immediately.

  He no longer looked at Shona, his gaze passing over her to the four assassins behind her. He sneered and said: "Sneaking up to make a surprise attack is one thing, but now you're hiding behind a woman's back? What kind of man are you? Take off your spiritual armor and I'll consider sparing your lives."

  The four men's faces turned red and white as they were spoken by Tang Yin, feeling both angry and hateful, yet also fearful of him.

  He finished speaking and saw that the four people had no reaction, so he sneered again: "What? You have the guts to come and assassinate me, but you don't even have the guts to reveal your true identities?"

  Provoked by his words, all four of them couldn't take it anymore. They looked at each other and simultaneously threw away the spiritual armor on their bodies.

  Seeing the true appearance of the four, Tang Yin was somewhat unexpected. It wasn't that he knew them, but rather that all four were very young and about his own age. The clothes they wore were made of brocade material, which only nobles in Besa could afford to wear. It seemed that the identities of these five assassins were not simple.

  Xiao Na turned her head back then, looked at the four people clearly, and frowned even deeper. She scolded in a low voice: "Who allowed you to come here?"

  These four young men were all nobles, one viscount and three barons. The assassin who was unconscious was also a baron. Their families in Bessa were considered to be of high noble birth, their fathers were all powerful ministers in control of real power, and they themselves were young generals in the Bessa army.

  Because of her noble status, Shona often saw them at some banquets, so when she heard the four men's cry for help, she felt that their voices were very familiar. She couldn't figure out why these five people suddenly came to assassinate Tang Yin. After all, without the king's order, taking private action was a serious crime.

  "Who sent you?" she asked suspiciously.

  Four young people looked at each other's phones and quickly lowered their heads in silence.

  Xiang Na became even more angry and said: "I don't believe this is your own idea, if you don't tell me, I will report to the king right now, when the time comes to punish you, your family will also be implicated." After finishing speaking, she pretended to walk out.

  "Your Highness, wait a minute!" One of the young men called out to Shona, then looked around at his companions and said in a low voice, "It's... it's the Duke who sent us."

  "Which duke?"

  "Knights of the Cross with the Red Star."

  "I knew it..."

  As expected, they are indeed from the Knie's faction, but none of the five are under his command, so why would they listen to his arrangements?

  The young man hung his head and continued: "His Excellency the Duke said that His Majesty the King wants to negotiate because he is afraid of Tang Yin..." As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Tang Yin. Now he could understand why the king was afraid of Tang Yin - who wouldn't be afraid of a monster? If he had known earlier that Tang Yin was a monster, he wouldn't have come to make an assassination attempt either. He trembled and said: "His Excellency the Duke said that as long as we can kill Tang Yin, His Majesty's worries will be dispelled, not only will he not punish us, but he will also heavily reward us..."

  "Idiot!" Before he could finish his sentence, Tang Yin burst out laughing and interrupted him.

  At this time, the dark fire on his palm had dissipated, and his palm had returned to its original state. He plopped down onto the bed, propping up his legs, gazing at several young men with a slanted glance, sneering: "You've been used by others and still don't even know it."

  "What...do you mean?" The young man looked at Tang Yin.

  It's not hard to see from their attire that these people are nobles with a strong background. He said in a low voice, "Knis sent you to kill me just to disrupt the peace talks. If you can really kill me, the peace talks will naturally break down, and even if the king blames someone, it won't be his fault. After all, it's you who did it, and there are five of you and your families behind you to take the blame; if you can't kill me and are killed by me instead, the peace talks will still break down, and at that time, your families will strongly advocate for war and demand troops to avenge their deaths. If I'm not mistaken, your five families are either neutral or pro-peace factions!"

  Yeah! Upon hearing this, the four of them simultaneously took a deep breath and looked at each other. Just as Tang Yin had said, among their fathers, four were pro-unification and one was a neutral middle-of-the-roader.

  Just by looking at the four of them with surprised expressions, Tang Yin knew he had guessed correctly. He continued to say: "Anyway, whether you or I die, the peace talks will be disrupted, and Knie is always the final winner. You are just pawns in his hands."
