X-Dragon Era-Chapter 543 - s Consecutive Sniping_3
Faced with this sudden change, Yi Luo Xiang immediately made new arrangements. In fact... although she deemed it unlikely for the current situation to arise, Yi Luo Xiang had still taken this change into consideration, so there was no need to redefine plans.
Under everyone's gaze, Yi Luo Xiang decisively said, "Now, let's allow the Mad Dragon Gang Leader to rush back to support Ling Shan. We'll concentrate our forces to take out the Deputy Gang Leader of Kongtong first, retake Shoushan, and then move to Ling Shan for an all-out defense!"
Facing Yi Luo Xiang's arrangements, everyone immediately nodded in agreement. In fact... this was a strict rule set by Xin Yun: as long as it was a strategy determined by Yi Luo Xiang, it had to be carried out whether it was understood or not. However, opinions and suggestions were still welcomed.
Seeing that everyone had agreed, Yi Luo Xiang took a deep breath, ready to issue orders, when Liu Qing, one of the Dual Assassins, raised his hand to signal. Seeing this, Yi Luo Xiang immediately agreed to his request.
After receiving permission, Liu Qing took a deep breath and said resolutely, "Gang Leader, Deputy Gang Leaders, Liu Xu and I want to try to see if we can assassinate the Deputy Gang Leader of the Mad Dragon using just the two of us!"
"What!" Hearing Liu Qing's words, everyone exclaimed in shock. It was known that... in a one-on-one situation, even Luo Fu wasn't confident of defeating the First Level Diamond Mad Dragon Deputy Gang Leader. Liu Qing and Liu Xu only had the strength of the Crystal Rank. Why were they so confident!
Looking at the determined expressions of Liu Qing and Liu Xu, Xin Yun couldn't help but sigh. Xin Yun knew... that actually, the two had no certainty of killing an expert of the Diamond Rank, but at this point, they no longer had a choice.
As Dual Assassins who had entered Kongtong at the same time as Wave Valley Five Rats, what they needed most was Sect Contribution. The Five Rat Brothers, by virtue of the huge amount of metals they had stolen, had accumulated a considerable contribution and were now Third-Level Sect Members. Although the Dual Assassins had also participated in several operations, their contributions were minimal. They had just paid off the debt of a First-Level Sect Member and were working towards the Second Level. Compared to the Five Rat Brothers, the difference was far too great, several times over.
At this point, although Kongtong's external reputation was not prominent, as members of Kongtong, they all clearly recognized the prospects of Kongtong, which were absolutely staggering. If they didn't keep up, they might disappear among the many sect members hundreds of years later, which was obviously not what the Dual Assassins wanted.
Up to today, the Dual Assassins had never succeeded in assassinating any Diamond Rank expert, not even attempted to probe. But now, they had no choice but to try. Although the hope was slim, it was not completely nonexistent.
Moreover, both knew that if they could successfully assassinate a Diamond Rank expert with their Crystal Rank strength, their status would be greatly solidified. Even if their contribution was insufficient, they would never be underestimated. Within Kongtong, there would always be a place for them.

The reason why Liu Qing put forward his request so resolutely was that he had something to rely on. After repairing to the Third Layer, the power of the Dual Swords of Slaughter had greatly increased. Although there was absolutely no chance of defeating a Diamond Rank expert in combat, in the case of assassination, it would be different.
Assassination, or murder, both were done under abnormal circumstances, such as taking advantage of the target sleeping, or attacking during intimate moments, which could reduce the target's strength to the lowest. With good planning, it was not hopeless.
Confronted with the Dual Assassins' request, Yi Luo Xiang pondered for a while, and finally... Yi Luo Xiang and Xin Yun exchanged glances, then resolutely agreed to the Dual Assassins' request. The task of dealing with the Deputy Gang Leader stationed at Shoushan was handed over to the Dual Assassins. The others would lie in ambush along the way for the Mad Dragon Gang Leader, aiming to prevent him from reaching Ling Shan in time and completing the occupation!
In the following ten days, Xin Yun, Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, Ming Xuan, and Luo Fu, the five great experts of Kongtong, joined forces to continuously snipe at the Mad Dragon Gang Leader who was intent on rushing back to Ling Shan. Although they never managed to really injure him, and were even chased around in a sorry state, they successfully delayed his speed.
In the Sky Pot, within the Dragon Gate Hall, Xin Yun and others sat on their seats, faces weary. Everyone had lost the interest to speak. Although their eyes were open, their brains had already checked out as they each reflected on the difficult battles of the past ten days.
Facing a Second Level Diamond expert, the previously infallible Soul-Scattering Gourd had lost its effectiveness. The Soul-Scattering Gourd Seeds couldn't break through the Diamond Rank's Shield, and even locking on was extremely difficult. The Second Level Diamond Giant Dragon was simply too fast.
The most unlucky one should be Luo Fu. He was always the type to charge forth. Only at close range could he exert his greatest power. Once the distance widened, Luo Fu was virtually useless and could do nothing to the opponent.
However, the closer the distance, the greater the danger. Finally... on the ninth day of battle, Luo Fu was ultimately blown to pieces by the Mad Dragon Gang Leader. Under a full-strength strike from a Second Level Diamond, the great Steel Giant Dragon was blasted into fragments. If it hadn't been for Xin Yun's Kongtong Seal, that guy would have been a goner.
Previously, although aware of how formidable Diamond Rank experts were, including Xin Yun, they had always maintained an optimistic attitude towards the Diamond Rank. Since they could take down Purple Crystal Rank experts, they should be able to defeat Diamond Rank experts too, especially Xin Yun, who had once killed a First Level Diamond Rank expert and had himself reached Ten Stars Diamond. But even so, his estimate was significantly off.
