Lin Tian was not aware of the plans of the people at Yanmen Pass.
He was still ten li away, searching for an opportunity to attack Yanmen Pass.
Yanmen Pass was different from Dai City. Dai City had insufficient soldiers, and it was the first time they had faced Lin Tian, which was why he had easily found a weakness.
However, the people at Yanmen already knew Lin Tian's combat strength and even had some understanding of his fighting style.
When they fought, they would surely be extremely cautious, ensuring they did not repeat the mistakes of Dai City.
Furthermore, their army numbered tens of thousands, plus the civilians in the city who could fight.
Defeating them would undoubtedly be very difficult.
Therefore, Lin Tian needed to plan carefully and then look for an opportunity to break through.
Even at night, Lin Tian was still working at his desk.
However, slowly, he began to sense that something was wrong.
Near his camp, there seemed to be unusual sounds.
Although many people were still patrolling, and the sound of orderly footsteps could be heard,
there were also different heartbeats mixed in.
Moreover, Lin Tian felt a strong killing intent.
This killing intent was very familiar; he had felt the same kind of killing intent when he encountered assassins in Xianyang City.
However, this time the killing intent seemed even stronger, as if they would not rest until they killed him.
Lin Tian didn't need to look up to know that assassins had infiltrated his camp.
These assassins were truly masters. The fact that they could evade the patrols of the army and reach the depths of his camp already indicated their extraordinary skill.
The fact that they approached his camp without attacking immediately further demonstrated their patience.
If it had been any other general, the outcome might have been very different.
However, after Lin Tian sensed their presence, he didn't pay too much attention, acting as if he knew nothing and continued his work.
The assassins hiding nearby did not suspect anything was amiss.
After a long while, the patrol team began to change shifts, creating a window of time.
These assassins had a strong ability to seize opportunities, and as soon as a chance presented itself, they struck.
After exchanging glances, they stealthily extended their crossbows into Lin Tian's tent.
Clearly, they intended to eliminate Lin Tian through silent combat.
However, before their arrows could be loosed, Lin Tian's voice rang out.
"Waiting until now to make your move, your patience is truly admirable!"
Huh?
As soon as Lin Tian spoke, the assassins immediately realized.
It turned out that Lin Tian had discovered them long ago, but had simply not revealed it.
And now, as they were about to attack, Lin Tian had exposed them with a single sentence.
This made them realize that all their previous efforts at concealment had been in vain.
This caused many of the Korean assassins' faces to darken, and their killing intent intensified.
They already harbored deep hatred for Lin Tian, and now that their whereabouts had been discovered, how could they continue to hide?
In the next moment, they charged out.
"Die!"
Several crossbow bolts were aimed directly at Lin Tian, and at the same time, many assassins rushed into the tent with their swords drawn.
Although their presence had been discovered, it did not mean their crossbows were useless.
After aiming at Lin Tian, they fired their crossbow bolts without hesitation.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
These crossbow bolts were extremely powerful, flying directly towards Lin Tian and completely blocking his escape route.
Not only that, but someone also launched over a dozen copper needles at Lin Tian.
This person was none other than the number one assassin of Zhao, An.
He was a master of hidden weapons, and his skill with copper needles for killing had long since reached perfection.
Copper needles were smaller, and once launched, the target might not even see where the needle was before being struck, making them impossible to defend against.
The copper needles used to deal with Lin Tian this time were also poisoned.
The intention was to kill Lin Tian directly.
However, while others might not have been prepared for these copper needles, Lin Tian was not without his defenses.
The copper needles that others could not see were clearly visible to Lin Tian.
Even with arrows and copper needles attacking him simultaneously, he remained unfazed.
In an instant, he drew the sword beside him and performed a few swift sword movements.
Before the assassins could even comprehend what was happening, they saw Lin Tian standing before them unharmed.
This made them rub their eyes in disbelief.
The previous attack had been incredibly dense, and it included many hard-to-track copper needles. To block all of them would have been immensely difficult.
Yet, Lin Tian had blocked all the attacks with just a few sword flourishes, which seemed utterly incredible to others.
An, the number one assassin of Zhao, took a deep breath.
He had used this method to assassinate others before, and had never failed. Typically, he would strike once and then retreat from the battlefield.
However, today, it seemed he would not be able to strike and leave immediately.
With this thought, a hint of boldness appeared on An's face.
"I have long heard that Lin Tian of Qin is extraordinarily powerful. After seeing him today, he is indeed as the legends say!"
"Since that is the case, then… it must be a fight to the death!"
If they could not kill Lin Tian immediately and escape, their fate was sealed. They would not be able to leave this military camp alive.
Therefore, they were willing to fight Lin Tian to the death.
Even if they died, they wanted to drag Lin Tian down with them.
As he spoke these words, the voices of soldiers also echoed from outside.
"Bad! Someone has infiltrated the camp!"
"Protect the general! Hurry and protect the general!"
With these shouts came the sound of large numbers of footsteps.
The assassins could almost foresee that a large number of soldiers would soon rush in.
Therefore, time was of the essence for them.
"Kill! Attack now!"
In the next moment, over a dozen assassins closed in, intending to kill Lin Tian in close combat.
Meanwhile, An, the assassin from Zhao, watched from the periphery, looking for a suitable opportunity to strike Lin Tian again.
It happened so fast.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian was surrounded by these assassins.
However, the first to act were not these assassins, but Lin Tian himself.
With one sword strike, Lin Tian directly pierced an assassin closest to him.
Then, with a few quick turns and evasive maneuvers, he dispatched several more assassins.
When he regained his footing, he had already cut through the assassins.
In the entire tent, only he and An, the number one assassin of Zhao, remained alive.
The other assassins lay dead at Lin Tian's feet.
This scene indeed shocked An, but it did not frighten him.
Instead, his eyes turned fierce, and he began to wildly hurl his copper needles.
In just a few breaths, he had thrown hundreds of copper needles.
Even as Lin Tian charged towards him, he continued to throw his copper needles at Lin Tian.
But Lin Tian's sword accurately struck An's heart.
"As expected… he truly is the Sword God. No one in this world can match you now!"
Then, An's eyes lost their light, and Wang Wu and others entered with their men.
Seeing the mess on the ground, their eyes were filled with shock.
Lin Tian then calmly said:
"Tell everyone that I am injured and poisoned, and urgently need a skilled physician!"
