Shao Yang roared loudly, trying to stop Jiuniang and the other two from joining forces to attack Yang Xiao.
It wasn't because he was worried that Jiuniang and the other two would kill Yang Xiao—after all, they had come with the intention to kill him—but he was worried that the three would end up dead by Yang Xiao's hand.
It had only been a probe earlier, and Shao Yang believed that they could defeat Yang Xiao by working together.
However, after a tough confrontation with Yang Xiao, he had to accept a fact he was reluctant to believe but had to acknowledge.
Even together, they were no match for Yang Xiao.
The strength of Yang Xiao that they had estimated, as well as what the Assassin had assumed, both had underestimated Yang Xiao.
This also made Shao Yang somewhat irate, wishing he could lay into the Assassin with a thorough thrashing.
