Two or three of them surrounded an assassin who was weak in individual confrontations and managed to bring down the numbers of the assassins.
Meanwhile a master assassin had taken action against the World-Serpent only to be blocked by Earth Scorpion at the last juncture. Ge Kai had brought along this master assassin to take down the World-Serpent by surprise. To his astonishment, even the World-Serpent had managed to recruit a subordinate of that level. The Earth Scorpion had been its deputy ever since the Serpent had arrived on Earth. The Earth Scorpion was in fact an Earthly cultivator who had been recruited by the World-Serpent.
The Scorpion had learned the treacherous ways of the World-Serpent after swearing its allegiance. It was in no way any lesser than the master assassin that Ge Kai had brought over with him.
