Chapter 444 Auction trap (21)
This person clinging to the bottom of the carriage had only gotten under when the carriage had slowed down.
They had slid under while no one was looking and had been clinging to the carriage the entire time, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Though they could see that the attackers were struggling against the cloaked figures, this person didn't even spare them a second thought as he only focused on the people that were inside of the carriage.
After all, his one job was to kill those people.
Seeing that the driver was distracted by the leader and the cloaked figures were all focused on the attackers, this person dropped down from the carriage and rolled out to the side before standing up.
There was no hesitation in his actions as he pulled out two daggers and jumped up at the carriage.
He was planning to kick the door in and then stab whoever was inside.
But before he could do that, the door suddenly flew out at him.
This person had a look of shock on his face, but he also quickly brought his hands up in front of him to guard his body.
The door hit this assassin and then sent him flying through the air.
As he flew through the air, he flipped twice before landing on the ground and looking up at the opened door. There wasn't a single second where he had let his guard down even though he had been sent flying through the air like this.
He was prepared to fight at any moment.
Standing at the door of the carriage was Shaka with a strange looking sword in his hand.
The assassin was surprised to see that there was someone inside of the carriage as well, but that didn't mean that he was ready to give up that easily.
After all, there were only two paths in front of him.
Finishing the job or death.
Of course, all of this had made quite a bit of noise, which had drawn the attention of the driver and the cloaked figures.
When they saw the assassin standing there by the carriage, they all immediately knitted their brows and wanted to go help. But before they could, the attackers and the leader all went into action.
Instead of being scared for their lives, they went all out as if their lives didn't matter.
A beast that was cornered fought the most fiercely, so when these attackers and the leader fought without care for their own lives, they were very powerful.
Once they stopped caring about whether they died or not, the cloaked figures and the driver were actually pushed back by them.
Of course, the downside to this was that they suffered large wounds that made it very likely that they would die soon. There would be no way out for them now that they had been injured to this extent.
But that didn't cross their minds at all since they only had one thing to do.
They would buy time while the assassin attacked the person in the carriage.
The assassin narrowed his eyes to look at Shaka, but he didn't panic. Instead, he just threw the daggers that were in his hand up into the air.
Shaka didn't lose focus when he saw this and just narrowed his eyes to focus on the assassin.
After throwing his daggers into the air, the assassin suddenly pulled out two more daggers that he threw forward.
Those daggers hit the two daggers that were falling in the air, sending all four of these daggers flying at Shaka from different directions.
Shaka had been watching all of this and his eyes had followed those daggers, so he just swept that strange looking sword in his hand out.
With the sound of metal clashing, all of the daggers around him were knocked out of the air.
But…there was one more dagger coming at him.
This was the dagger that had been thrown after all the other daggers had been sent in Shaka's direction. This was the dagger that had been delayed so that it would come from Shaka's blind spot after he knocked away all the daggers.
Shaka might have been in danger if it wasn't for his keen senses warning him of this already.
He already knew that this last dagger was coming, so he went with the force of the sword swing and twisted his body out of the way. The dagger flew past him with just a few centimeters to spare.
With another turn, Shaka suddenly dashed forward as a green glow appeared around him.
In an instant, he appeared in front of the assassin and swung the strange looking sword in his hand down at him.
The assassin was surprised to see Shaka appear in front of him like this, but he still reacted as he pulled out another pair of daggers from his sleeves and brought them up to block Shaka's sword.
It was just too bad that these daggers weren't able to resist the sword for even a second.
The moment that the daggers made contact with the sword, there was a cracking sound that rang out before the daggers shattered to pieces.
The assassin didn't even have time to reveal a shocked look as the strange looking sword slammed down into his chest, slamming him into the ground.
After being slammed into the ground, the assassin just stopped moving as his chest had caved in.
It was clear that his ribs had been shattered from this one strike from Shaka.
But one could still see his chest moving a bit, showing that he was still alive.
Even with his chest shattered like this, he was still alive which really was amazing.
That showed just how skilled Shaka was that he was able to hold back to this extent.
After the assassin had been beaten down like this, the rest of them weren't able to hold on any longer and the attackers and leader were all subdued or killed by the driver and cloaked figures.
It seemed like it was all over.
