Chapter: 2027

It was to find a group of at least ten people who had recently arrived at Poyang Lake. The order came from none other than Noh Tae-tae.

Although she had stepped back from the frontlines, everyone in the Imperial Yuan Merchant Group still held great respect for her.

Orders issued under her name took priority over all other tasks. Because of this, the man disregarded everything else and focused on carrying out Noh Tae-tae�s command.

�Now that we know that they had stayed here, we can concentrate our efforts here��

However, the man�s thoughts were abruptly interrupted.

Shiak!

Suddenly, a sword flew toward the man.

�Who�s there?�

The man cried out as he swung his sword.

Though the attack was unexpected, he was still a formidable expert.

Kang!

He blocked the attack by a narrow margin.

The attacker was a person whose face was covered by a mask.

The man blocked him with his sword and shouted,

�Who are you? Reveal your identity!�

�Hehe! If I wanted to share my identity, why would I bother wearing a mask?�

At that moment, the masked man chuckled darkly and attacked the man.�

�It�s impossible. Do you think you can defeat me with just this level of skill?�

�If it were just me, maybe.�

�What?�

Sshwack!

Suddenly, an arrow flew from behind with a piercing sound.

The man failed to respond properly and was hit in the shoulder by the arrow.

Thud!

�Keugh!�

With a groan, the man staggered.

At that moment, the masked man�s companions, hiding in the darkness, jumped out.

They attacked the staggering martial artist.

The man tried desperately to counterattack, but his body felt sluggish from the arrow. Above all, the coordinated assault from the masked individual and his comrades was overwhelming.

They attacked like a pack of wolves targeting their prey. Relentlessly biting and tearing, their combined assault left the man with little chance to respond. In the end, the man allowed a sword strike to land on his back and succumbed to it. JrNovels.com
