Chapter 335 Assassination
The capital of flowers, the General's Mansion.
A small team quietly entered the mansion, with swords in hand, and all the guards and servants in the mansion were killed in their sleep without knowing anything.
Fu Lushou, who was asleep in the black charcoal snake's side room, had his eyelids twitching, and he quickly regained consciousness.
But just when his body was about to move, a sharp blade touched his neck.
The figure behind him was like a ghost, and even his breathing could not be heard.
Fu Lu Shou subconsciously held his breath. He knew that he was no match for a killer of this strength.
"Oh!"
The door of the dormitory was pushed open with great force, and the cold wind swept into the room. The black charcoal snake, which was immersed in a sweet dream, was instantly awakened.
"Who?"
"How dare you break into my general's bedroom without permission! Do you think you've lived too long?"
"Fu Lu Shou!"
The black charcoal snake sat up from the bed and yelled angrily.
"欻~"
There was a flash of silver light, and a figure as fast as lightning swept out of the door. The sharp blade brushed his neck, and a needle-like chill climbed from the back of his neck to his scalp.
Black Carbon Orochi is not a complete loser. He has experienced various pursuits since childhood and has naturally developed an extremely cautious character.
But in an instant, he could tell the difference in strength between himself and the visitor.
Without hesitation, he activated his ability to transform into the form of Yamata no Orochi, swung his thick tail towards the visitor, and eight heads with teeth and claws roared and rushed towards the arm holding the sharp blade.
However, the person who came here was no ordinary person. He leaned back, flipped his wrist, and after forcefully dodging the attack from the snake's tail, he flexibly slashed at the head closest to him.
However, if the body is out of balance, the strength will naturally be greatly reduced.
The blade penetrated the flesh and cut a long, flesh-and-blood wound.
"Ah ah ah~"
The snake's body twisted and took several steps back, blood dripping down its torso.
The screams of the black charcoal snake were sharp and ear-piercing. The man missed the target and did not hesitate to fight. He took a few steps back without hesitation and stood at the door.
"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you assassinate this general!"
"Fu Lu Shou! Where did you die? Get him quickly! I will tear his body into pieces!"
After not receiving a response for a long time, Black Carbon Orochi began to panic.
"Fu Lu Shou!"
"He's already dead."
A soft female voice sounded outside the door.
Hearing this familiar voice, Black Carbon Orochi couldn't help but widen his eyes.
As that familiar face appeared in front of him, his beating heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"Little purple!"
"No! No! I should call you Princess Hiyori now!"
Hiyori Kozuki, who was dressed in fine clothes and holding a shamisen, slowly walked into the dormitory. Her cold eyes stared at the figure that made her resentful.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Seeing the obvious panic on the face of the black charcoal snake, she couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed.
"Black Charcoal Serpent."
"Really, long time no see."
The black charcoal snake moved its body backward while warily staring at the samurai holding a long sword at the door.
Only the samurai and the helpless Xiao Zi had a great chance of escaping.
"Xiao Zi, you really deceived me, Jie Jie Jie~"
"It's in vain that I treat you sincerely, but you actually want my life!"
"If you stay on your own terms, even if you are from the Guangyue clan, I can give you my position as the general's wife, but it's a pity..."
Guangyue Rihe's eyes flashed sharply, and he held his palms with both hands.
"Black Carbon Orochi, you are ungrateful for your ministers and cruel for your king. What qualifications do you have for a despicable villain like you to serve as the general of my country!"
"The law of heaven is clear, and the retribution is not good."
"Black Carbon Serpent, even if I cut you to pieces today, it will still not be able to quell the resentment of the countless innocent people of our country who died in vain, and it will not be able to eliminate the blood feud of the thousands of righteous people of our Guangyue clan!"
"Jiejiejie~ Princess Hihe, are you too confident?"
He stuck out the letter with a ferocious tongue, and stared at the beautiful face of Mitsuki Hiyori with his cold eyes.
With a twist of the body, eight snake heads violently crashed into the window on the side.
The two people at the door turned a blind eye to his actions and were indifferent.
"Oh!"
The black charcoal snake felt a powerful force collide with his body, and was kicked back before he even got close to the window.
There are other people in this room!
This terrifying realization made his heart tighten instantly.
At the window, a black figure slowly appeared in front of the big snake.
I saw that the man was covered in black clothing, with only a pair of black and white pupils exposed.
He held a sharp dagger in his hand, glowing with a hint of chill under the flickering candlelight.
"Princess Hiyori, let's fight quickly! The battlefield over there is still waiting for us."
The man played with the dagger in his hand and spoke casually.
Guangyue Rihe nodded slightly, sat on the floor without any scruples, and gently plucked the strings with his slender fingers.
"Captain Amon, Hesong, let's do it!"
The black charcoal snake was in panic.
"No! You dare!"
"Behind me is Hyakju Kaido! Hyakju Kaido, one of the Four Emperors! If you dare to touch me, he will never let you go!"
"Wait! Xiaozi, no! I really admire you! You can't...ah~"
The cheerful and beautiful "Moon Princess" played in the general's mansion for the first time in a long time.
Accompanied by the sound of clanking strings, the sharp blade sliced through the flesh.
Blood splashed, and strong blood energy floated in the air.
The desperate screams and wails of the black charcoal snake were all buried by the sound of the piano. The members of the White Blade team in the courtyard heard the sound of the sharp blade slicing through flesh, and they all held their hands and shivered.
Their assassinations were always fatal, and their prey never let out such painful groans.
But looking at the captain's slow movements, he obviously enjoys the evil pleasure of torturing his prey to death!
The music stopped, and the heart-rending screams in the dormitory also disappeared.
In the blood-stained dormitory, eight snake heads were scattered in disorder on the wooden floor.
Amon put away the purple devil fruit on the ground and nodded towards Kouzuki Hiwa and Kawamatsu.
"The mission is accomplished, we are going to Ghost Island."
Kozuki Hiwa bowed solemnly.
"Thank you for your help. Hiyori is grateful. If there is anything Hiyori can help with, please feel free to ask."
Amon waved his hand.
"It's Lady Anne's order. If you want to thank her, just thank her! Farewell!"
The figures of the White Blade Team gradually disappeared into the dark night, and there seemed to be a few vague complaints in the wind.
"Captain, will this Devil Fruit stay in our team?"
"I didn't win over the captain with the transparent fruit last time, so this one should be mine!"
"Idiot! What's the use of this for our assassination team? Does it turn into an eight-headed snake during the assassination to scare your prey to death?"
"Huh? That's right~"
"Captain, after this mission is over, can we apply for a Devil Fruit as a reward?"
"It's not impossible if you perform well."
"Captain, look at you!"
"Shut up! Be quiet!"
"Oh~"
