The moon was dark and the wind was strong. The biting cold wind caused the trees in the mountain range to tremble in the gloomy and oppressive night!
Whoosh... The merciless cold wind swept across the entire mountain range without any restraint.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…Three blurry figures streaked across the night sky like ghosts. Even in the dim night, one could still vaguely recognize the faint traces left behind by the three figures in the air!
Suddenly, the person at the front waved his sleeve and stopped his body. The two people behind him hurriedly stopped their bodies when they saw this!
The three of them were all wearing black robes. However, the black robe of the figure at the front was inlaid with golden edges. From this, one could see the difference in status between the three of them!
The black-clothed man at the front was a delicate and pretty youth. Although he had the face of a youth, his eyes, which were as sharp as blades, revealed a coldness that made one's soul tremble.
The two people behind him were puzzled. They stepped forward and asked respectfully,"Milord, is there anything?"
The young man did not answer. He just turned his head and looked at the two people in front of him with his cold eyes.
It was this simple look that caused the two men in black to tremble. It was as if they were facing demons from hell, causing them to feel endless fear.
At this moment, one of them finally could not help but ask. However, his voice was filled with respect.
"Lord…Lord! May I ask what instructions you have for me?" That person said submissively.
The black-robed youth still did not speak. He only slowly drew out the Vajra Flexible Sword that was wrapped around his waist. When the longsword completely appeared in the youth's right hand, the two black-robed men were already drenched in cold sweat!
The cold killing intent in the youth's eyes made them feel the threat of death. If they had the strength to escape now, they would have disappeared from where they were a long time ago!
However, when faced with the sword in the young man's hand and the pair of soul-stirring cold eyes, they could not muster even the slightest strength. They could only look at the sword in the young man's hand with fear, and cold sweat kept oozing out from their foreheads...
"Hehe…the Chu Clan is really not simple! The other party was only trying to escape as quickly as possible, but you guys were doing the opposite. You actually set up an ambush here. It was really an interesting decision!”The black-robed youth swept his gaze across the dark surroundings. His clear and sharp eyes revealed an enviable arrogance, because only those with absolute strength would have such a gaze!
As the young man's arrogant voice spread out in all directions, the two men in black finally heaved a sigh of relief. They knew that the killing intent of this fiend in front of them was not because of them. This was something they could celebrate the most.
"Haha…Little brother, you look like you're only seventeen or eighteen years old. To be able to achieve so much at such a young age, you must be the youngest assassin in the Strange Realm, Chang Wuyuan, right? I didn't expect you to appear in the end. It seems that they are really willing to spend money! I actually invited you here." A moment later, an elderly voice sounded from within the mountain range. The voice was filled with helplessness.
The young man smiled and laughed loudly,""Haha…I don't dare to be called the King of Assassins, but ever since I started taking orders, there has been no bounty that I can't get, or rather, no one has ever stolen a life from my sword!”The young man's domineering and cold voice sounded extremely confident. Even the other two black-robed men had looks of reverence on their faces. Although they were far older than Chang Wuyuan, their achievements in the sword were far behind Chang Wuyuan. Now, they could only look up to Chang Wuyuan. In their eyes, this young man was a god!
"It's reasonable for heroes to be used on you. However, your talent is so outstanding, so why did you join the Strange Sect? With your ability, you can easily establish a sect. Don't you feel wronged?”The old voice echoed in the unfamiliar mountain range again.
When the voice reached the ears of Chang Wuyuan and the other two, two figures appeared in a ghostly flash about two hundred meters away. Chang Wuyuan's expression darkened as he noticed them. His cold eyes locked onto the two figures who had suddenly appeared.
It was a white-haired old man and a petite figure wearing a bamboo hat. Judging from her figure, she was undoubtedly a young girl. However, the young girl's face was basically completely covered by the huge bamboo hat on her head, leaving only her delicate red lips.
However, Chang Wuyuan was not in the mood to guess whether the girl was a beauty or not, because the white-haired old man beside her had sent him out more than anyone else!
This was because this old man was the ancestor of the Chu family, Chu Jiannan, who had been confirmed to be dead when the Bizarre Sect besieged the Chu family. He was a top sword expert with a nine-stage Sword Soul. It was definitely not a coincidence that he had appeared here today.
At this moment, the two Sword Emperor followers standing beside Chang Wuyuan were already trembling. Their black robes were soaked in sweat. They knew what a Stage Nine Sword Soul meant. To them, encountering a ninth stage Sword Soul was equivalent to facing death. They were afraid now because they knew that even though Chang Wuyuan was an eighth stage Sword Venerable, it was like a foolish firefly competing with the bright moon if he were to face Chu Jiannan, who had such terrifying strength.
"Chu Jiannan, hehe! As expected of an expert with a Stage Nine Sword Soul. This Golden Silkworm Shedding Technique was truly ingenious! However, to be able to leave in front of the sect master without anyone knowing, I think the old sir must have paid a painful price, right? Otherwise, how could I still have the strength to stand and talk now!”Chang Wuyuan looked indifferently at the white-robed old man not far away. He turned his eyes slightly to calm himself down. In his opinion, Chu Jiannan was definitely seriously injured. Otherwise, he would not have talked nonsense with him for so long.
"Heavily injured? Perhaps! However, it's more than enough to deal with you. The only thing that's worth questioning is how many moves can you last under my sword?”Chu Jiannan waved his right hand, and in his palm, a faint green Sword Qi slowly condensed. In the end, it transformed into a light green heavy sword in Chang Wuyuan's eyes. The sword's body was almost able to cover the old man's body. This was Chu Jiannan's personal spiritual sword, Dun Feng.
As soon as the huge sword was drawn, a suffocating heavy sword qi filled the air. For a moment, there was no sound of thunder and dark clouds covered the sky. It was as if the end of the world had arrived!
Chang Wuyuan felt the sudden strong Sword Qi between heaven and earth. His expression turned serious and he looked up. He saw the dark clouds in the sky rolling like a tide. The dull thunder stimulated everything in the world. Occasionally, a sharp Sword Qi cut through the sea of clouds, revealing its true face.
After carefully sensing it for a while, Chang Wuyuan smiled coldly. The sarcasm in his smile was self-evident."Haha…Is this the true strength of the ancestor of the Chu family? How disappointing! It seemed that his previous worries were groundless!”
"Young man, don't let your guard down! As the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Do you really think that you can defeat me now?”Chu Nantian wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled.
"Horses?" Chang Wuyuan smiled. Camels? I don't seem to have any similarities with such a creature! The most important thing for you now is to think about how to escape from me!”After saying that, he injected the sword qi in his body into the Vajra Flexible Sword in his hand without holding back. Immediately, the longsword that originally felt boneless instantly straightened up like a divine spear.
As the sword Qi was injected, a cold wind blew between the sky and the earth. If someone with sharp eyes observed carefully, they would see that the sudden wind was formed by countless sharp sword Qi.
A violent wind swept out, and all the trees within a radius of a thousand meters were destroyed by the violent wind. For a moment, the originally dark mountain range was scraped with a layer of skin. Under the pale moonlight, it looked so desolate.
The wind continued to blow, and Chang Wuyuan's black robe rustled along with the wild wind. The young man's figure was set off by the fluttering black robe and the strong wind, revealing his youthful and frivolous character without any bottom line.
Dark Sword Qi continued to emanate from Chang Wuyuan's body, adding a lot of darkness to his aura. He looked like a Ghostblade who had walked out of hell. Seeing Chang Wuyuan's current appearance, the two followers behind him kept retreating, their eyes filled with deep fear for the young man.
Chang Wuyuan's eyes narrowed as he looked at Chu Jiannan, who was a hundred meters away, and said coldly,""Although you and I have never met, since I have accepted the mission, you are someone that I, Chang Wuyuan, must kill. Don't blame me for taking advantage of you.”
Chu Jiannan sneered and also looked at the young man with the threatening sword Qi in front of him. He said,""Take advantage of others! Sometimes, wasn't this also a display of strength? Just as you said, if I hadn't been severely injured, you would have been a cold corpse by now!”
"Hehe…Why are you suddenly dawdling? Let's fight! Although I admire you from the bottom of my heart, my identity is an assassin who makes everyone pale at the mention of it. Right now, I only have one goal, and that is to obtain the bounty that belongs to me!”Chang Wuyuan's cold voice rang out. After he finished speaking, he turned into a black phantom and charged towards Chu Nantian.
Looking at Phantom, Chu Nantian looked at the petite figure beside him with some reluctance. He said in a pampering voice,""Li, are you afraid?"
The girl did not answer, nor did she nod or shake her head. It was as if she had not heard the old man's voice at all!
Seeing that the girl did not answer, the old man smiled faintly and charged at Chang Wuyuan with his sword in hand.
In an instant, the two of them fiercely clashed. The green and black sword Qi clashed like dragons in the gloomy night. For a moment, clear explosions rang out endlessly. Countless sparks blossomed in the dark night and quickly disappeared.
Looking at Chu Jiannan who was fighting Chang Wuyuan, the girl slowly lifted the huge bamboo hat on her head. It was a beautiful and delicate face, but there was no smile on her face at this time. There was only endless coldness on the face of this girl who was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
The next moment, the girl said coldly," Don't be afraid, Little Li. Little Li will remember him forever. Forever!"”The girl's voice was not loud, as if only she could hear it. In fact, only she could hear her own words. However, in such an ordinary and belated reply, there was a hidden killing intent and hatred.
