Supreme Summoning System

Chapter 23 - Ambush

"Everyone stay vigilant and observe your surroundings carefully! We might encounter an ambush at any minute!" the leading imperial guard yelled as his eyes sweep in his surroundings. Before they leave the Spring Breeze City, he had send a group of soldiers to survey the road that they will take. But until now, none of those who he sent return to him. So he thought that they might be already dead.

Sou!

Sou!

Sou!

Moments later, countless sharp arrows and needles flew out from the nearby brushes hitting some of the unlucky guards.

"Ambush! Everyone be careful!" the leading guard yell out to others. Looking at those who had been hit by the needles, he could see that their skin is turning black. It was clear that there is a poison in those weapons.

"There are using poison in their weapons! Protect the carriage of the second princess!!"

The Imperial Guards quickly surrounded the carriage of the second princess. Beside them, the carriage of the Shen family was also surrounded by the escorts. They needed to be sure that none of those poisonous weapons would pass through and accidentally hit the second princess.

In the nearby bushes, several rustling sounds came out like a shadow pouncing towards the guards. Each of them was wearing a set of black clothes that covered their whole body. In their eyes you could see a clear murderous intent.

The imperial guards and the Shen family quickly sets up a defensive formation around. All of them were holding their weapons in their hands ready to retaliate at any time.

The assassins showing this formation, didn't attack the soldiers head on and hide in the surroundings. Because they knew that they will definitely lose if they fight this guards head on. Their strength didn't lie in a head on fight. They rely in their cover and attack their target in stealth and kill them in single shot.

While the Imperial Guards and the Shen family guard the carriage. Soldiers from the Ye family in the rear moves forward to deal with the assassins around. Their numbers were big and they moved in pairs as they brandished their weapons to fight.

"Does this Ye soldiers really think that they can push us back! Kill them all! I want to dye this group with their blood!" the leader of the assassin said. As an assassin from the Shadow Star Tower, they definitely didn't feel fear towards this Ye soldiers. Because they had the advantage around them. They are in a forest and the Ye soldiers directly came towards them. If they are in an open, the Ye soldiers might have a chance with their great number and experience in an open combat. But in the forest where the assassins could easily hide, they are just a group of walking targets.

Soon later, several screams and cries came out from the forest. Taking this chance, the convoy moves forward while still maintaining the defensive formation.

When the fight in the forest was finished, the group was littered by the corpses of the Ye family soldiers. The leader of the assassins saw that their ambush this time was a failure decided to retreat first and formulate a new plan. Because of what happened, they were sure that the convoy will stop and spend their night in the forest. And that is a great time for another attack.

In the distance watching, Shen Yu's lips curled into a cruel smile. He said to the two behind, "Lets now move, you two block them first and move according to the plan"

"Yes, Young Master!" the two said in unison and began to make their move.

Several minutes later, the people of the convoy who all sigh in relief was once again put in a much dangerous situation. Because a few meters in front of them was two men, one tall muscular man wearing a cap and white clothes. The other was a bald man wearing black clothes with a sword hanging on his waits.

Just from the oppressive feeling that the two of them were releasing, everyone could already feel that this two is definitely a master.

Shen Yin who was an elder of the Shen family felt his whole body shaking and beads of cold sweat run down his forehead. His clothes were already sticking close to his skin and the heavy pressure in the air makes breathing harder.

As for the remaining escorts, all their faces were pale white as they didn't even dare to move. No matter how experienced they were in a battlefield or a fight. In front of this monster, they are nothing but ants.

Inside the two carriage, the second princess and Shen Lin felt the strange atmosphere coming outside so they both came out.

"Elder what is happening? I thought that we are safe for the time being?" a voice rang out from the carriage and Shen Lin came out.

Just like Shen Lin, the second princess also came outside of her carriage and stand beside Shen Lin. With her is a young maid with a cute and gentle appearance.

The leader of the Imperial Guards saw that the second princess came out of her carriage worriedly speak, "Second princess, please get back inside your carriage. Our situation here is currently unknown and we don't know if the two gentlemen in front are our enemies"

Hearing what her guard said, the second princess turn to the two person blocking their road. Just like everyone in the area, she could feel the tremendous pressure the two were emitting just by standing there. Especially the aura that was constantly being released by the man wearing a white cap.

"Greetings esteemed masters, I am the second princess of the Sacred Sun Empire, Huang Feng. Are there anything that the seniors needed to us. Just say it an I will be willing to do it" Huang Feng said respectfully as she realize that she can't offend this two. Because if she compared her imperial father towards them, although she didn't want to accept it. Her imperial father is currently lacking.

"Hand over the rank 6 magical beast core and leave all your valuable items here. After doing that maybe I can spare your lives" Sakazuki was the one who spoke. His voice carried ruthlessness in them as he stare in disdain towards the group.

'Bandit?'

This is the thought that enters everyone's mind when they heard the words of the man. But what they can't understand is why would a master like him would lower himself to be a bandit. Just with his strength, he can even become an emperor.
