What is an assassin?
A person who uses all possible means to kill is called an assassin.
The phrase "using all possible means" gives assassins an incredibly terrifying power to kill, but it also has a detrimental effect on them.
This effect is that, once they fight openly and straightforwardly, the fear they instill in others diminishes.
So, faced with the mountain-like Zhu Yan, a hundred earth-level assassin-slaves gave up their target very decisively under rather speechless circumstances, and then fled in a panic along the sides of the Mingku Road.
Let alone fighting head-on with a monster twenty thousand feet high, they very much doubted that if they appeared on Zhu Yan's path, they might be torn to pieces by the wind from its legs.
