“It’s the Heavenly Level assassin ‘Chi Mei’!”
“He actually dares to take on a bounty of this level.”
“They say he has completed dozens of Heavenly Level missions. By accepting this one, he might be aiming to become an Emperor Level assassin.”
Everyone looked at him with a sense of awe.
For ordinary Loose Cultivators, becoming a Heavenly Level assassin was already the limit.
However, Emperor Level assassins move unpredictably.
They only take assignments to assassinate Quasi-Emperors and Immortal Emperors.
Even the Holy Lands find these assassins a headache.
Assassins from Eternal Night are mysterious in origin and excel in tracking and assassination. If they fix their eye on you, unless you stay within the Holy Land, you must be prepared to be assassinated at any moment once you step outside.
After taking on the bounty, the assassin known by the nickname “Chi Mei” vanished.
Su Xiaoqi looked solemn.
She knew of this Heavenly Level assassin named Chi Mei.
Starting from Yellow Grade, he had advanced to Heavenly Level, and it was said he had never failed.
If he dared to accept the task to assassinate Lu Changsheng, he must be confident of his success.
“As long as Master stays in Tai Hua Holy Land to cultivate, assassins from Eternal Night would definitely not dare to infiltrate the Holy Land. This is one of the unanimously acknowledged rules among all assassins in the Immortal Realm. The power of the Holy Land is extremely formidable, and there’s also a barrier. Any assassin trying to sneak into the Holy Land is basically doomed to be discovered. Once they anger the ancestors inside, even Emperor Level assassins would perish… But I still need to warn Master to be wary of this person.”
Su Xiaoqi thought it over. Fortunately, she had discovered someone had put a bounty on her master. She decided it would be best to return and warn him.
…
Valley of Thousand Medicines, a medium-sized Sect that lived in peace with the world.
Yet, Valley of Thousand Medicines faced an attack by the Demon Sects, with many disciples and elders slain, leaving the remaining disciples trapped within the Sect’s Great Formation.
Thousands of Demon Sect disciples surrounded the Sect’s Great Formation, with Demonic Qi reaching the heavens.
The disciples from Valley of Thousand Medicines panicked, desperately funneling True Qi into the Sect’s Great Formation to reinforce it as much as possible.
“Every year, we provide Yaochi Holy Land with medicinal materials. You can’t touch Valley of Thousand Medicines, otherwise Yaochi Holy Land will not let you go! Don’t you know how dreadful Yaochi Holy Land is?”
The Valley Master of Valley of Thousand Medicines, a Heavenly Immortal Realm expert, tried to deter the attackers from the Demon Sect.
Valley of Thousand Medicines was a Sect formed by Alchemists, focusing on gathering medicinal materials and concocting elixirs, which is why their overall cultivation was not very strong.
Valley of Thousand Medicines specialized in supplying Yaochi Holy Land with medicinal materials and mid to low-grade Elixir Pills in exchange for protection from Yaochi Holy Land. Therefore, it usually remained tranquil. No one expected these Demonic Sect attackers to have the audacity to target Valley of Thousand Medicines.
“Hehe, our Blood Sea Palace really isn’t afraid of Yaochi Holy Land. Today, blood will flow into rivers here!”
The leader of the Demon Chiefs wore a dark red cloak and looked disdainful.
“Elder Blood Bat is a Daluo Golden Immortal. He personally leads the team. Your Sect is doomed.”
The thousands of Demon Sect disciples behind him also sneered.
“Valley Master, what do we do? They don’t seem to fear Yaochi Holy Land?”
“What’s the background of this Blood Sea Palace?”
Both the Valley Master and the surviving disciples of Valley of Thousand Medicines felt desperate.
The Valley Master of Valley of Thousand Medicines was an eighth layer Heavenly Immortal, but the Elder Blood Bat leading the attack on Valley of Thousand Medicines was a second layer Daluo Golden Immortal. There was a three-realm difference between them.
Just as the people from Valley of Thousand Medicines were in despair, a stern man passed by.
“Who are you?”
The disciples of Blood Sea Palace noticed this stranger and quickly challenged him.
Both confronting sides took note of this man.
Clothed in black with sword-shaped brows and starry eyes, the man carried a longsword on his back, paying no heed to the two fighting factions.
“Hey, hey, we’re talking to you! Are you a disciple of Valley of Thousand Medicines?”
Elder Blood Bat, noticing someone daring to ignore him, immediately flew into a rage.
“…”
Dugu Aotian stopped in his tracks.
He was simply passing by and saw Blood Sea Palace attacking Valley of Thousand Medicines.
Blood Sea Palace had previously attacked Mount Shu, Wind Sword Sect, and other Sects, with no one able to discern their motive.
“Kill him.”
Elder Blood Bat ordered two Demon Sect disciples to slay Dugu Aotian.
Two Unity Realm Demon Sect disciples stepped forward.
“Die.”
Dugu Aotian reached out and grasped, the Demonic Qi morphing into a Demon Hand, instantly eradicating the two Demon Sect disciples!
The life essence of the Demon Sect disciples was devoured by Dugu Aotian.
“Are you also from the Demon Sects? Which Sect are you from? Dare to oppose our Blood Sea Palace?”
Elder Blood Bat, seeing Dugu Aotian daring to take action and kill his disciples, had icy cold eyes.
The Valley Master and disciples of Valley of Thousand Medicines were baffled. Another person from the Demon Sects had arrived? And this one seemed to be at odds with Blood Sea Palace?
Dugu Aotian spoke coldly, “If you don’t leave now, there’s only death waiting for you.”
“How dare you offend the Blood Sea Palace, seeking death!”
An Earth Immortal Realm Demon Chief made his move, attempting to kill Dugu Aotian to earn favor with Elder Blood Bat.
“Behold my Colorful Myriad Poison Palm!”
This Earth Immortal Realm Demon Chief unleashed over ten thousand palms consecutively, each infused with dazzling, colorful poison, disorienting to the eyes.
Dugu Aotian simply struck with a palm, devoid of any flashy techniques, using his overwhelming Demonic Cultivation Skills to instantly annihilate the Earth Immortal Realm Demon Chief.
The Earth Immortal Realm Demon Chief turned into ash in an instant.
“Die!”
Another Demon Chief entered the fray, this one at the initial stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!
“Mountains and Rivers Overturned Palm!”
A monumental and boundless palm force surged forth, like a catastrophic flood!
Dugu Aotian still unleashed an ordinary palm.
“Ah!”
The Demon Chief in the initial stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm was likewise slain in one move by Dugu Aotian.
“Hiss…”
The people of the Blood Sea Palace took a sharp breath, finally realizing that Dugu Aotian was no ordinary Loose Cultivator.
The multitude of Demon Sects disciples looked towards Elder Blood Bat in unison.
Among those from the Demon Sects who attacked the Valley of Thousand Medicines, Elder Blood Bat possessed the highest cultivation.
Sweat seeped from Elder Blood Bat’s forehead.
Dugu Aotian had yet to reveal his true strength.
“No, I must probe the extent of this kid’s realm to handle him properly.”
After pondering for a moment, Elder Blood Bat decided to test Dugu Aotian’s true capabilities.
He sacrificed a Blood Bead, the blood energy towering, enshrouding the valley, trapping Dugu Aotian and everyone from the Valley of Thousand Medicines.
However, Dugu Aotian stood his ground, unmoved, with no change in expression.
“You little brat, are you not afraid of my Blood Realm?” Elder Blood Bat discovered that Dugu Aotian remained unresponsive and grew more hesitant, “Let me show you the power of my Blood Bat secret technique!”
Elder Blood Bat’s True Qi transformed into countless Blood Bats, swirling above Dugu Aotian’s head.
Dugu Aotian remained motionless, putting Elder Blood Bat in a quandary.
Elder Blood Bat wanted to use his Demonic Cultivation Skills to force Dugu Aotian to take action and reveal his cultivation level, but Dugu Aotian remained utterly unaffected.
“Are you done messing around?”
Dugu Aotian saw through Elder Blood Bat’s intention to probe his cultivation.
“You insolent brat! You’ve brought this upon yourself!”
Elder Blood Bat, infuriated to the point of shame, channeled his full power into the Blood Bats, as countless Blood Bats swarmed towards Dugu Aotian.
Boom!
As the Blood Bats neared Dugu Aotian, they exploded, blood qi filling the air!
“Each of my Blood Bats is equivalent to the self-destruction of a Void Refinement Realm demon beast. When their number reaches into the thousands, even a Daluo Golden Immortal can be seriously injured! Hahahaha!”
Elder Blood Bat laughed cruelly, detonating hundreds of thousands of Blood Bats.
Hundreds of thousands of Blood Bats exploded in succession, and Dugu Aotian was engulfed by the sea of blood.
“As expected of Elder Blood Bat, the Blood Bat secret technique is unparalleled in the world.” Enjoy exclusive content from empire
“With Elder Blood Bat in action, this kid is undoubtedly doomed.”
The disciples of the Blood Sea Palace flattered profusely.
“Not good, that Demon Sects Loose Cultivator is not a match for Elder Blood Bat either.”
The faces of those from the Valley of Thousand Medicines turned pale.
Even though they didn’t know the origin of Dugu Aotian, he represented their last hope.
When the terrifying explosions subsided, Elder Blood Bat was gasping for breath, drenched in sweat.
The Blood Bat secret technique had drained quite a bit of his True Qi.
But if he could kill Dugu Aotian, it was all worth it.
“This is what happens to those who oppose me…”
Elder Blood Bat’s words came to an abrupt halt as a dark figure burst out from the dust created by the explosions.
Dugu Aotian drew his Demon Sword, and in less than a breath’s time, he appeared before Elder Blood Bat and cut him in two with a single sword stroke, quick and clean.
“All flash and no substance…”
Dugu Aotian, upon seeing a blood shadow surge from Elder Blood Bat’s corpse, reached out and grasped, summoning a massive Demon Hand that crushed the soul of Elder Blood Bat!
Elder Blood Bat perished.
Shock.
Both the Valley of Thousand Medicines and the Blood Sea Palace never anticipated such ferocity from the passing Loose Cultivator.
