Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank-Chapter 712 The Strange Assassin

"Constable Ding! Quick, find a doctor! Constable Ding has been attacked!"

"How could this be? He's no longer breathing and his heart has stopped beating. This knife pierced his heart directly and destroyed all his vitality. It was too sudden. That blade seemed to have appeared out of thin air!"

"Quick, quickly inform Lord Zhang Jian! A constable was attacked and killed in the Kingdom of Dawn! Something big is going to happen this time!"

The surrounding civilians let out gasps of shock.

A constable had been killed while he was patrolling in the City of Dawn. This had never happened before. One could imagine how much of a commotion it would cause. The impact it would have would be immeasurable.

More importantly, no one had seen how the killer had made his move in the busy city.

It must be known that every citizen in the city was a transcendent cultivator. It was impossible for an ordinary assassin to not leave behind any traces.

This matter was too strange.

The civilians felt a shadow cast over their hearts.

The news of Constable Ding's death spread like wildfire. Zhang Jian was the first to receive the news and rushed to the scene as fast as he could.

"D*mn you! How dare you kill the constables of yamen in the middle of a busy city! Don't let me find out who you are!" Zhang Jian's face was gloomy and extremely unsightly. The anger in his heart was about to set his whole body on fire.

Since the establishment of the yamen, there had been no casualties among the constables in the city. The city had always been peaceful and there had never been any trouble. Now, not only was someone dead, but it was also a constable from yamen. Without a doubt, this was like a loud slap to his face.

"Lord, the one who died is Ding Shan. He is at the peak of the transcendent realm, gold rank. If he works hard enough, he will break through to the legendary realm soon. He was killed with a single stab to the heart. All his vitality was cut off the moment the knife pierced his heart. The technique was extremely sharp and tyrannical. Ding Shan didn't even have the time to react and just died on the spot."

"The timing of this stab was very strange. It was from the back. According to the wound, the knife that pierced the heart is almost the same as the long knife in Ding Shan's hand. The one who killed him must be a top expert. However, according to what I've just learned, the surrounding civilians did not see who had killed him. Moreover, he was still greeting the hawker, Zhou Dafu, before he was killed. Zhou Dafu didn't see anyone behind Ding Shan either, but that knife just stabbed into his body!"

One of the constables said with a solemn expression.

This situation was very strange. 𝗳𝘳ℯ𝑒𝓌ℯ𝚋𝐧oνe𝘭. c𝐨ｍ

One or two persons could lie, but there were hundreds of pairs of eyes around them, and all of them said that they didn't see the killer. This was too strange.

It was impossible to lie!

"It's naturally impossible for a normal assassin to do it. However, don't forget that this isn't an ordinary era. Transcendent cultivators are everywhere, and all kinds of strange talents and magical powers are emerging in an endless stream. These impossible things will become very simple by using magical powers," said Zhang Jian coldly.

He would never believe that the murderer did not exist. If there was no murderer, no one would have died. If someone had died, there must be a killer. No matter if one did it personally or with one's magical powers, one was still the murderer.

"Lord, what do we do now? Even if the murderer had used magical powers, he had not revealed any clues. How do we investigate?" A constable's face revealed a helpless expression. Looking at Ding Shan's corpse, his eyes also had a strong anger.

"Since the murderer has already made his move, he will kill again. Inform the brothers to form groups of three and patrol the city immediately. As long as he was in the city, we had to catch the d*mn rat out of the stinking ditch. This is the first major case that our yamen has experienced. Keep your spirits up and don't mess it up!" said Zhang Jian decisively.

"Yes!"

The constables replied in unison.

Immediately after, they quickly spread out and began to patrol the city.

"No matter who it is, I'll fight you to the death since you dare to provoke yamen!" Zhang Jian looked at Ding Shan's corpse in front of him and swore in his heart.

Pfft!

Suddenly, a bounty hunter not far from Zhang Jian let out a scream.

In the position of the bounty hunter's heart, a long knife had pierced through his heart. Then, it disappeared again.

The bounty hunter was facing Zhang Jian. The moment he was stabbed, blood spurted out and sprayed on Zhang Jian's face. When he fell, his face was still full of disbelief.

"B*stard, you deserve to die!"

Zhang Jian's face turned extremely ugly and he felt a burning pain on his face.

He had just said that he wanted to find the murderer, and the murderer immediately killed someone in front of him. Furthermore, he did not see any trace of the murderer. He just saw an innocent bounty hunter fall in front of him with blood spurting on his face.

It was as if this was the murderer's response, a blatant provocation. Zhang Jian felt his whole body trembling with anger, and his eyes instantly turned red.

Killing someone right in front of him showed that he didn't put him in his eyes at all.

This was a blatant challenge to the yamen and the entire Kingdom of Dawn.

"It was another strange assassination. The weapon was similar to the long knife in the hand of the bounty hunter. It was as if the bounty hunter had killed himself with his knife. But that's impossible!"

"One cut, clean and neat. The one who attacked must be an expert. There was no room for mercy at all. It was a certain kill. He's a professional assassin."

"I didn't see any enemies. The knife was stabbed from the back. There was no enemy behind him before this, so he didn't notice anything strange before he was assassinated. It was the same method as Ding Shan's death!"

A few constables immediately started to check.

After the inspection, all of their faces turned ugly.

One of the constables suggested, "Shall we clear the area first? Let the civilians return to their houses first. It was too dangerous outside! No one knows when a knife will stab out and kill them."

"We can't clear the scene. If everyone hides in their homes, we won't know what happened if they die. It might even be more dangerous. This killer is too mysterious and unpredictable. It's better to put it out in the open. Besides, dodging will only fuel the assassin's arrogance!"

Zhang Jian slightly frowned. Although he was in a difficult position, he still made a decisive decision.

Once martial law was announced, it would cause panic and even chaos.
