The cold and murderous aura swept from outside the courtyard like the coming of the twelfth lunar month, with a bone-piercing coldness that made people tremble.
The people in the courtyard didn’t need to be reminded by Xiao Zhanxian. They all knew that there was an a.s.sa.s.sin, and they all unleashed their weapons while their complexions changed drastically.
Swish Swish Swish!!
In the four directions of the quiet courtyard, many figures rushed out in an instant, all armed with weapons, staring at all sides with great vigilance. This was the manpower of War immortal Mansion and An Clan. Although good and bad were mixed, those with strong cultivation had reached the Great Sacred Realm.
More people were only in the Sacred Realm.
Boom!!
A black-light suddenly swept from outside the courtyard, like a thick fog, covering the place in an instant, leaving only a gloomy and bleak world. Several gray-clothed figures, with indifferent expressions and no trace of human emotion, entered from the void outside the courtyard.
The black longsword in their hand was made of unknown material, its sharp edge was overwhelming, and its killing intent soared to the sky. Even the red b.l.o.o.d.y brilliance could be seen permeating the air.
They wore black clothes on their heads, only their eyes were exposed, and there was a palpitating and terrifying aura all over their bodies which was even more terrifying!
Several Great Sacred Realm cultivators, along with them were the existence of Quasi-Supreme!
“Protect the young master!”
“Protect the miss!”
Seeing this scene, the faces of the powerhouses from the War Immortal Mansion and the An Clan changed dramatically. When they appeared, they were full of murderous aura, staring at the outside of the courtyard, and shouting in a low voice.
They couldn’t figure out why someone would choose to a.s.sa.s.sinate them at this time. One must know that it was broad daylight, and they were still in Kunwu City, where the most powerful people of many forces had gathered.
Once there was a change here, it was bound to alarm the rest of the powerhouses. This group of a.s.sa.s.sins was really daring, such a move was tantamount to committing murder in public, and they didn’t care about the risk of exposure at all.
“Who are these a.s.sa.s.sins here to kill? Which of us are they targeting?” An Xi’s face was gloomy, she clenched her hands tightly, and couldn’t help asking.
It was a good banquet, but it was ruined by these a.s.sa.s.sins who broke in suddenly. And she really wanted to know whom they had offended to have sent an a.s.sa.s.sin to a.s.sa.s.sinate them.
Not many forces in this world could dispatch so many powerful a.s.sa.s.sins at once. Not even the Buddha and h.e.l.l a.s.sa.s.sin organizations!
Jiang Chen and Niu Tian’s expressions appeared dignified, if the other party came to kill them, then they would really be thinking too highly of them. Any one of these a.s.sa.s.sins, they were far from their opponents.
“They’re after me, they’re here to kill me!” Xiao Zhanxian said solemnly, feeling that all these murderous auras were locked on him.
This made him even more uneasy, he couldn’t figure out when he had offended someone and even sent many powerhouses to a.s.sa.s.sinate him.
“They are here to kill you? Did you offend someone?” An Xi asked, puzzled.
Xiao Zhanxian shook his head, then said in a deep voice, “I don’t know who I offended, and my Guardian seems to be held back by someone, I can’t get in touch with him.”
In fact, he had a faint guess in his heart, but he didn’t dare to imagine that the other party was so unscrupulous.
“Attack!!”
Immediately, several a.s.sa.s.sins attacked quickly as they rushed toward Xiao Zhanxian and the others before surrounding them. All kinds of treasures and divine powers were overwhelmed.
A lot of divine artifacts emerged, including divine lamps, ancient tripods, and stoves… covering all directions, with amazing power. In just a split second, the powerhouses of the An Clan and the War Immortal Mansion coughed up blood and exploded. The methods were completely invincible against each other.
In terms of cultivation and strength, it was difficult for everyone here to compete with this group of a.s.sa.s.sins. Even if they tried their best, they would die quickly.
“Protect the miss!” A powerhouse from the An Clan yelled angrily, trying to spread his voice and let the rest of the people know.
But an a.s.sa.s.sin stared at him and disappeared from the spot. Like a black lightning bolt, the black longsword in his hand quickly pa.s.sed by, piercing through his eyebrows with a pop.
He was killed on the spot!
Seeing this scene, An Xi, Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, and the others changed their complexions drastically and hurriedly used various means to protect themselves.
In an instant, a great battle broke out in the courtyard. Many people coughed up blood and fell, their heads rolled down, b.l.o.o.d.y and pungent. There was a black mist covering this place to prevent the aura here from leaking out. Unless an Emperor Realm existence took action, it would be difficult to break this barrier.
This made the people of An Clan and War Immortal Mansion even more desperate, after all, the Ancestors behind them were not here.
After the Divine Stone Conference ended, they returned to the sect. An Xi’s great-uncle An w.a.n.gshan also returned to the family and did not stay in Kunwu City, fearing that the Ji family’s attack on Mount Kun would bring disaster to Kunwu City, so he avoided it.
“Could it be possible I have to die here today?” Xiao Zhanxian was extremely unwilling, and with a roar, the golden cross cracks in his eyes erupted with terrifying power, and his whole body emitted a strong blue light.
He performed a secret technique and like thunder roaring, shaking the world, he went forward to attack. His figure was like an eternal immortal furnace, with astonishing energy and blood.
A pair of fists seemed to have turned into an unrivaled mountain, crashing and crashing down, unmatched, causing the a.s.sa.s.sins who attacked him to get into trouble. Some people even collapsed directly under his fists, making it difficult to get close.
“The Battle of the Immortals is really extraordinary, but it’s a pity that you still have to die today.” Seeing this scene, the Quasi-Supreme a.s.sa.s.sin moved his eyes slightly and stepped forward to attack, but his words were still indifferent.
He just slashed away with a sword, and the void split open. Many powerhouses from the An Clan and War Immortal Mansion in the front exploded one after another, turning into dust, and it was difficult to block even a single sword.
This was the power of the Quasi-Supreme, unless it was someone in the same realm, other people couldn’t stop it at all.
“Who on earth sent you to kill me?” Xiao Zhanxian shouted angrily.
The gray-clothed a.s.sa.s.sin said lightly, “Who did you offend, don’t you know?”
“Who did I offend?” Xiao Zhanxian’s eyes were a little scarlet, and he searched the memory in his mind.
In the end, it was fixed at the Divine Stone Conference, Gu Changge’s casual and indifferent face with a look of contempt. At this moment, he had almost concluded that the person who sent someone to a.s.sa.s.sinate him was absolutely inseparable from Gu Changge.
“Think about it on the road to the afterlife.” The gray-clothed a.s.sa.s.sin said indifferently, and struck again, crushing down with terrifying power. It caused the rest of them to explode and become powdered.
With his peak strength, Xiao Zhanxian was invincible in the Great Sacred Realm, but he was not an opponent of a Quasi-Supreme existence at all.
Under this sword, his fist exploded, covered with sword marks, and dripping with blood. He shouted angrily, and a pair of eyes with golden cross slits suddenly bled, accompanied by a click, as if some shackles were broken.
At this moment, Xiao Zhanxian was burning all over his body, and he didn’t seem to feel any pain. He turned into a peerless War Immortal, who could fight against Heaven and Earth with an unrivaled body. A golden whip appeared in his hand, just like the sword in ancient myth. The immortal whip kept fighting with the Quasi-Supreme a.s.sa.s.sin in front of him, regardless of life and death.
An Xi, Jiang Chen, and the others also a.s.sisted from the side, using the ancient talisman method, trying to help Xiao Zhanxian. If Xiao Zhanxian died here, it would be very likely that they would not survive.
Buzz!!
The void trembled, and a giant golden cauldron suddenly rushed out of An Xi’s altar, intertwined with laws and orders, it was even filled with the brilliance of immortality. The world trembled and descended toward the a.s.sa.s.sin in front of him with a bang.
For a moment, the fluctuations here suddenly became extremely terrifying. Even the a.s.sa.s.sin in the Quasi-Supreme Realm had a drastic change in complexion.
“Not good!” The pavilions and palaces here had all been sunk and become devastated, the momentum was really shocking.
Jiang Chen’s brows glowed, and a phantom of a Bronze Immortal Boat faintly appeared, dispelling the black mist covering this place. The huge terrifying momentum shocked the entire Kunwu City in an instant, and tyrannical divine thoughts swept across in shock.
“Who is doing this?” An Enlightened being snorted coldly and poked his giant palm toward this place.
“Not good…” The face of the gray-clothed a.s.sa.s.sin changed dramatically, but he was very decisive and chose to blow himself up without hesitation.
In just an instant, the terrifying wave exploded, like many stars bursting into pieces, directly flying toward Xiao Zhanxian, Jiang Chen, and others, covered in blood, seriously injured and fell to the ground.
…
“Oh, it failed?”
In the palace, Gu Changge, who was sipping tea leisurely, shook his head lightly, with a bit of surprise on his face.
“My lord, please punish me, I underestimated Xiao Zhanxian’s methods. Although he delayed his Enlightenment, in the end, he unleashed a very strange divine power and killed the Quasi-Supreme. This is what led to the failure of this a.s.sa.s.sination. If I send more people, there shouldn’t be any mistakes. Moreover, the formation at that time was broken… This alarmed the rest of the Enlightened beings in Kunwu City.”
Yin Mei stood in front of him with a bit of anxiety on her white and jade-like face, pleading guilty, and was about to kneel down as she spoke.
Hearing this, Gu Changge groaned for a while and waved his hand before asking her to get up, and said, “Forget it, if you fail, I can’t blame you for this matter, and I didn’t expect Xiao Zhanxian to have such tricks.”
“In my opinion, this should have been a sure thing.” He didn’t blame Yin Mei.
Xiao Zhanxian walked very close to Jiang Chen and Niu Tian. His body was more or less contaminated with the aura of the Son of Luck. At this critical moment, he suddenly burst with a powerful technique, which was reasonable.
But after the a.s.sa.s.sination failed, he had to think of a way to end it, after all, the commotion was really not small. Although Xiao Zhanxian and others might suspect him, Gu Changge was not worried that he would be able to produce evidence.
Moreover, if he wanted to deal with Xiao Zhanxian secretly next time, it would become troublesome.
“Young Master, if I continue to arrange manpower, I don’t believe that I can’t kill Xiao Zhanxian.” Yin Mei nodded, and she was also very unwilling to complete the task Gu Changge gave to kill Xiao Zhanxian.
Although Gu Changge didn’t blame her, it also belonged to her ineffectiveness.
“No need for now. After this incident, Xiao Zhanxian will learn to be smart.” Gu Changge shook his head lightly.
“Yes, master.” Yin Mei lowered her hands.
“Could it be that I have to do it myself?” Gu Changge pondered for a while, he didn’t consider letting Alpha, who was in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, take action.
After all, Xiao Zhanxian was first attacked by the inheritor of demonic arts, and then suddenly a.s.sa.s.sinated. The current forces were very strict with their own heirs, for fear of accidents, Gu Changge could hardly guarantee that Alpha would not leave any traces.
If he did it himself, he would be able to solve it in secret without knowing it. But this kind of risk was really not small, and there were many people staring at him in Kunwu City.
Gu Changge still didn’t intend to let the Upper Realm attack him, so he could only wait for a suitable time.
“I’m in the limelight right now, and many things are hard to do on the bright side.” Gu Changge shook his head lightly and put down his teacup.
If people notice that he wanted to kill Xiao Zhanxian. This would cause huge turmoil in the entire Upper Realm, and many forces would not allow him to do so.
Because Gu Changge couldn’t kill Xiao Zhanxian for no reason like he could naturally kill the descendants of the other forces. At that time, they all would have excuses to attack him and even the Ancient Immortal Gu Family behind him.
After all, Gu Changge still couldn’t push the entire Upper Realm on his own.
“It’s his fate this time, but I don’t know if he will enter Mount Kun. When the time comes, I will deal with him personally.” Gu Changge smiled lightly but didn’t take this matter to heart.
Just one Xiao Zhanxian couldn’t make any trouble for him. Even if he told the War Immortal Mansion behind him about Su Qingge’s ident.i.ty, it would be difficult to have any effect in a short time.
After all, what was the point of convincing if there was no evidence? Unless Xiao Zhanxian could catch Su Qingge.
“How can just one Xiao Zhanxian hinder master. As long as you get out of Kunwu City, you can kill Xiao Zhanxian, as easily as crushing an ant.”
Yin Mei nodded, raised the teapot with her plain hand, and filled it for Gu Changge. Gu Changge smiled and stretched out his hand to embrace her in his arms, his smile was a little inexplicable.
“But you reminded me. After this incident, you just gave me an excuse, Yin Mei, pa.s.s on the order, saying that I have invited many young talents in Kunwu City to a banquet discussing the attack on Mount Kun and the rescue of Ji Sheng Chu the day after tomorrow in the Star Picking Tower… Oh no, it’s about rescuing the Human Ancestor.”
“I want to see who dares not give me this face.”
