Chapter 1076: Chapter 665: Counteraction! (4K)

“Which assassin organization are you from? Who has employed you?”

Lu Changsheng guessed that the other party belonged to an assassin organization, but he was still unclear about the real mastermind behind the scenes.

These two assassins were just tools.

“Even though you’ve found out our origin, you won’t escape death.”

The two assassins realized they had slipped up, so they remained silent.

“You’ve killed the Demon Race’s Divine Son, yet you didn’t flee; instead, you stayed here, indicating that your target also includes me.”

Lu Changsheng had indeed provoked quite a few forces, so he still couldn’t deduce which force had hired them.

The war faction Demon Kings had reasons to kill both the Demon Race’s Divine Son and Lu Changsheng at the same time.

The Demon Realm, wanting to incite a war among the Three Realms and to remove Lu Changsheng, a thorn in their side, also had ample motivation.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng had even offended the Heavenly Emperor’s son, Emperor Ku, so the Heavenly Court had reason to act.

The Hundred Thousand Divine Palaces of the Heavenly Court wouldn’t necessarily act in unison.

The two assassins had the strength to kill Prince Wang; their power was terrifying, both being Greatly Accomplished God-Kings.

Moreover, not just any Greatly Accomplished God-King.

Prince Wang, as the Demon Race’s Divine Son, had a vast amount of Immortal Pills, and with his Yin-Yang Holy Body, even an ordinary Greatly Accomplished God-King might not have killed him.

These two assassins, being able to kill Prince Wang, might even be top experts on the Divine King Ranking.

“In a moment, I will hold them off. You escape back to Tu Mountain and seek assistance from Elder Ji Su.”

Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth. To stand alone against two Greatly Accomplished God-King-level assassins was extremely difficult and could be life-threatening.

However, even teaming up with Ji Xuan didn’t make them a match for the two assassins. Only with the Great Experts of the Heavenly Fox Clan from Tu Mountain could they capture these two and uncover the truth.

“But Master, you will die.”

Ji Xuan also understood how strong these two assassins were.

The Demon Race’s Divine Son was already dead, and Lu Changsheng wouldn’t fare much better.

Her staying was at least a source of assistance.

“Don’t you follow your master’s words? Assistance from Tu Mountain is the only solution.”

Lu Changsheng held the Nether Flame Sword in hand, extremely cautious.

This crisis was a matter of life and death.

Lu Changsheng was prepared to give his all.

“Alright.”

Ji Xuan knew that even with the two of them working together, they couldn’t stop the two assassins; seeking grandmother’s help was the best strategy.

Lu Changsheng held the Nether Flame Sword in his left hand, and with his right hand, he summoned the Myriad Demons Banner. With a wave, the Primordial Spirits of the Kui Phoenix Clan and the Iron-toothed Demon Ox appeared, ominous clouds gathering.

“Roar—”

With a dragon’s roar, Lu Changsheng summoned the Primordial Thunder Dragon Soul, which bared its fangs and claws, each whisker formed by thunder.

The three Demon Race Primordial Spirits joined the battle.

Lu Changsheng swallowed an Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill to temporarily boost his cultivation level.

Against experts of this level, without using Immortal Pills to enhance one’s cultivation, not even a single blow could be taken.

Ji Xuan also took a pill from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, increasing her demonic Qi sharply.

“Dealing with geniuses from top forces is truly troublesome; it’s as if they’re never short on Immortal Pills.”

“Had I known they were so hard to kill, I’d have demanded more bounty.”

The two assassins seemed unperturbed about Lu Changsheng and the others’ attempts to escape, allowing them to consume their pills.

The Demon Race’s Divine Son, Prince Wang, also had ample Immortal Pills, including Ancestral Dragon Blood Pills, yet he was still killed by them.

This man and demon before them couldn’t possibly be stronger than Prince Wang, could they?

Lu Changsheng gleaned some information from the assassins’ conversation.

The target of these two assassins wasn’t just Prince Wang but also him, Lu Changsheng.

Which force was so set on putting them to death?

Could it be Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, Cold Bone Demon Venerable, or their ilk?

From the assassins’ hints, since they were hired by others, executing the mission within the Demon Realm, they might not know their employer’s real identity.

Lu Changsheng’s direct disciple, Su Xiaoqi, was an assassin from the “Eternal Night” organization, understanding that assassins only take assignments without necessarily knowing who the employer is.

In theory, as long as someone could afford the price, there would be assassins willing to take the job.

“Go.”

Lu Changsheng was ready to intercept the two assassins, secretly communicating with Ji Xuan to leave.

Lu Changsheng waved the Myriad Demons Banner; the Primordial Spirits of the Kui Phoenix Clan and the Iron-toothed Demon Ox each charged at the two assassins while Ji Xuan at this moment used Sword Flight to escape toward Tu Mountain.

“Such petty tricks.”

“Incarnation!”

One of the assassins formed a seal with his left hand, creating an avatar that, like a phantom, chased after Ji Xuan.

“Unlimited Sword Qi!”

The two assassins moved their swords, and thousands of strands of Sword Qi pierced the Primordial Spirits of the Kui Phoenix Clan and the Iron-toothed Demon Ox.

The two Divine King realm Demon Race Primordial Spirits were instantly torn to shreds by the Sword Qi, unable to withstand even a single move.

The Myriad Demons Banner, without the sealed Demon Race Primordial Spirits, fell silent at once.

Lu Changsheng had no choice but to temporarily retract the Myriad Demons Banner and also transformed into a shadow to pursue the assassin’s incarnation.

Lu Changsheng had not anticipated that the opponent was adept in such a Great Divine Power.

This assassin’s incarnation possessed seventy to eighty percent of his own cultivation power. If it caught up to Ji Xuan, she would stand no chance.

The two assassins followed closely behind Lu Changsheng in pursuit.

Their speed was extremely fast, with the distance between both sides closing rapidly.

“Fox Fire Lotus!”

Ji Xuan was intercepted by the assassin’s incarnation, and her demonic Qi transformed into a sky full of fox fire, attacking the incarnation.

“The difference between you and me is like that between clouds and mud.”

The assassin’s incarnation delivered a hand chop, and True Qi turned into an invisible blade that cleaved through the fox fire, the blade nearly grazing her.

Ji Xuan broke into a cold sweat.

Even though it was just an avatar, the assassin’s strength was far superior to hers.

The assassin’s incarnation struck again with a hand chop, which was barely blocked by the Chaos Clock that Ji Xuan summoned.

The Chaos Clock trembled, barely withstanding the incarnation’s attack.
