I Was Too Hasty... I Thought I Could Kill Them Both!
The situation is somewhat out of control right now...
The Seventh Rank guard leader, disregarding everything else for the sake of his brothers' lives, rushed into the Jade Tower, grabbed Zhao Yanyan, and dragged her out...
After all, we're supposed to be here to guard the place, but each of my brothers only has a few spirit stones... We're just here to put on a show, okay...
So, you expect us to deal with two Ninth Rank fanatics with just a few spirit stones each?
Zhao Yanyan, who was being carried out by the guard leader, was already terrified and had wet herself...
She'd seen fanatical fans before... but she never dreamed the fans in Bewildered Heart City could be this fanatical... Would they really go to such lengths to see her?
The Night Demon Brothers were completely dumbfounded...
Who the hell is Zhao Yanyan? We need Hua Xichen!
We need this Zhao Yanyan... what the hell are you talking to us about?!
"Brother... he's playing us!" Night Demon's younger brother was so angry he almost peed his pants!
We came to assassinate Hua Xichen... and now you've given us Zhao Yanyan... are you tired of living?!
"Kill them all!" Night Demon Brother was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder!
From the moment they became assassins, what kind of people haven't the Night Demon Brothers killed?
What kind of situation haven't I seen before?
But today... what the hell is all this nonsense?
The guard leader was so angry he cried...
What the hell? You don't want Zhao Yanyan? If you don't want Zhao Yanyan, what the hell are you doing here?
Not only were the people below stunned... Chu Xinghe and Hua Xichen were also stunned...
The moment the Spirit-Severing Nails appeared, both Chu Xinghe and Hua Xichen naturally felt the force that hindered their Spirit Power. The two reacted instantly, and Chu Xinghe's first reaction was that it was aimed at Hua Xichen!
But Hua Xichen immediately declared it impossible! Only a very few trusted confidants knew he was there! It was impossible for his presence to be exposed!
But just as the two were bewildered, a fight broke out below...
Good heavens Hua Xichen and Chu Xinghe, watching from upstairs as the Night Demon Brothers battled the Guard Corps, were also utterly shocked.
I initially thought someone was trying to kill Hua Xichen... but I never imagined it was aimed at Zhao Yanyan?
I used to think Zhao Yanyan was somewhat capable... but not much. But now it seems she's incredibly capable... capable of making two Ninth Rank fans risk their lives!
"It seems like they're still after you..." Chu Xinghe finally understood.
Even if Zhao Yanyan is incredibly talented, she wouldn't let two Ninth Rank do this!
Hua Xichen's eyes were now filled with murderous intent... Only a few of his trusted subordinates knew that he had come to the Land of Bewildered Spirits. Now that he had just arrived in Bewildered Heart City, the assassins had arrived right after... So where did the problem lie? How could Hua Xichen not know?
But this is clearly not the time to consider that.
The Night Demon Brothers outside realized they had made a mistake... and at this point, they were too lazy to pay attention to anyone else, heading straight for the inn.
The Night Demon Brothers instantly located Hua Xichen's position. Like two ghostly shadows, they found Hua Xichen's location in the darkness.
"Boom!" Hua Xichen was surrounded by Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire. Although the Spirit-Severing Nails sealed a portion of Hua Xichen's Spirit Power, Hua Xichen had already stepped into the Ninth Rank. The Spirit-Severing Nails could suppress him, but it could not completely deprive him of his fighting ability!
Even after being suppressed, Hua Xichen's combat power was still terrifying. In a fight against two opponents Hua Xichen actually forced the Night Demon Brothers back with the raging fire wave brought by the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire.
The flames had already engulfed the entire inn, turning it into a sea of fire.
Hua Xichen even greater fighting prowess.
"Hua Xichen truly lives up to his reputation, but today you will still die by our hands... Spirit-Severing Nails! Heaven and Earth Spirit Severance!"
The Night Demon Brothers simultaneously activated the Spirit-Severing Nails with their Darkness Twin Pupils, and the Spirit-Severing Nails, which had been scattered and blocking the entire block, instantly gathered above the inn.
After the 108 Spirit-Severing Nails reduced their range, their effect became terrifyingly enhanced.
Once the power of the Spirit-Severing Nails was concentrated in the small area of the inn, Hua Xichen's Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire began to extinguish in patches, and in an instant, most of the power in Hua Xichen's body was also drained away!
"Dark Twin Pupils!" The Night Demon Brothers' two pairs of pitch-black eyes looked at Hua Xichen at the same time. In an instant Hua Xichen felt as if he were being haunted by thousands of vengeful ghosts. Ghosts crawled up at him from all directions as if they wanted to tear him to pieces!
However, this mental disturbance was clearly not entirely effective against Hua Xichen. In an instant, a glint of light flashed in Hua Xichen's eyes, and he escaped from the lock-on of the Dark Twin Pupils.
Although Hua Xichen's mind escaped, most of his Spirit Power was still drained. When the Night Demon Brothers attacked again, it was clear that Hua Xichen was no longer as brave as before. The Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire was unable to leave his body and transform into a sea of fire to aid him in the battle.
They could only temporarily surround Hua Xichen help him block the Night Demon Brothers' attack!
However, as the battles continued, the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire on Hua Xichen's body became increasingly fragile, and Hua Xichen was no longer able to withstand the attacks of the Night Demon Brothers!
The Night Demon Brothers each produced a longsword, and at that moment, the black skull longswords, swirling with black energy, swept towards Hua Xichen.
The skull-shaped longsword was incredibly powerful, instantly tearing apart Hua Xichen's already meager Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire. The longsword, carrying a dark light, hurtled directly towards Hua Xichen's neck.
Hua Xichen used all his strength to forcefully dodge backward, but just as he dodged the first skull sword, another skull sword suddenly emerged from the darkness, its blade carrying enough power to kill Hua Xichen it reached him.
At this Hua Xichen's eyes were filled with resentment... He never dreamed that one day he would die at the hands of an assassin.
But what's even more ridiculous is that, although it's uncertain who hired the assassin, it's certain that the one who wants to Hua Xichen is from the Hua Clan!
To die at the hands of one's own people—perhaps this is fate...
As the long blade drew ever closer, Hua Xichen knew he had nowhere to retreat. The effect of the Spirit-Severing Nails reached its peak, and Hua Xichen could feel the last of his Spirit Power being suppressed by it.
Without the Great Prophecy Art, Hua Xichen could not find a way to break the seal of the Spirit-Severing Nails.
Just as Hua Xichen was preparing to face death, the skull-shaped longsword suddenly hovered in mid-air. What made the skull-shaped longsword hover was not some treasure... but... two fingers!
At this Hua Xichen stared wide-eyed at Chu Xinghe, who had appeared from the side without him noticing. Chu Xinghe wore a smile on his face, and his left hand was Xiangqian, the black skull-shaped longsword gleaming with dark light gently held in mid-air between his index and middle fingers...
Not only Hua Xichen, but even the Night Demon Brothers were dumbfounded at this moment...
The guy standing there, holding the skull sword between two fingers, showed no signs of Spirit Power fluctuations... In other words, he didn't use any Spirit Power; he simply used his physical strength to block a Ninth Rank assassin's full-force attack with just two fingers!
You wouldn't even dare to dream of something this absurd, let alone have seen it!
Although the Night Demon Brothers are only at the Early Ninth Rank, their combat strength may not be that great... There are many things in this world that could block their full-force attack with just two fingers!
But the premise is that those people can't be without any Spirit Power!
Without Spirit Power, Martial Warrior is essentially without a source of power... Without this source of power, how can one possibly withstand a full-force attack from Ninth Rank martial artist using only their physical body? Isn't that absurd?
Hua Xichen stared blankly at Chu Xinghe, who was standing in front of him, holding the skull-shaped longsword between two fingers. At this Hua Xichen could clearly feel that the Spirit-Severing Nails was not only effective on him, but also on Chu Xinghe...
At this moment, Chu Xinghe had absolutely no Spirit Power whatsoever... which meant that Chu Xinghe was using purely physical strength at this moment!
Chu Xinghe Hua Xichen had heard about Chu Xinghe's claim to be pioneering a new path for Body Cultivation, but due to his own circumstances, Hua Xichen couldn't pay much attention to it.
Later, Hua Xichen heard that Chu Xinghe seemed to have made a name for himself, but he didn't pay any attention to the specifics.
But at this moment, Hua Xichen could only say... Is this the legendary Body Cultivation?
Is this Chu Xinghe's Power of Qi and Blood? Isn't that a bit too terrifying?
Just as Hua Xichen was staring wide-eyed at what was happening before him, Chu Xinghe gently twisted the fingers that were holding the skull-shaped longsword... and the skull-shaped longsword, which was clearly of a high level, was snapped in half in mid-air by Chu Xinghe's two fingers.
At that moment, the skull-shaped longsword seemed less like a sharp weapon and more like a withered tree branch, easily snapped in two fingers.
Just as the longsword broke and fell, Chu Xinghe flicked his finger in the air, and his finger landed precisely on the falling section of the blade. In an instant, the blade transformed into a streak of light and pierced through the chest of the Night Demon's younger brother with a soft "poof." The blade, which had pierced through the chest, did not stop there. Instead, it continued its trail of light, piercing through all the walls of the inn, finally crossing the street and embedding itself in the very center of the clock tower at the end of the street!
The Night Demon's younger brother, pierced by the blade, coughed up blood and flew backward. Although the attack hadn't pierced his heart, it had almost completely incapacitated him...
"You... you... you are Chu Xinghe!"
At this moment, Night Demon Brother finally recognized Chu Xinghe's identity. Just now, Chu Xinghe was squatting to the side, his hair was unkempt, and he looked sloppy. Night Demon Brothers had never connected him with Chu Xinghe at all!
But at this moment, as Night Demon looked at Chu Xinghe in front of him, he recognized Chu Xinghe's identity!
Escape!
Without any hesitation, the Night Demon brother grabbed his seriously injured younger brother, transformed into a black shadow, rushed out of the inn, and immediately activated the Blood Escape Art to escape.
Just as they escaped the inn and were about to use the Blood Escape Art to flee thousands of miles away, a ball of blood-red flame shot into the sky from the inn. It was pure Power of Qi and Blood, a terrifying blood energy storm. At this moment, this blood energy storm tore the inn to pieces!
Amidst the endless storm of qi and blood, Chu Xinghe stepped into the void. With a single step, he appeared as if he had teleported to the Night Demon Brothers had transformed into blood shadows and were about to flee.
Without any fancy moves, Chu Xinghe raised his hand and threw a punch that shattered the already activated Blood Escape Art, forcibly pulling the Night Demon Brothers out of the blood shadows. The younger Night Demon was the first to be hit by the punch, and he exploded in mid-air into a cloud of blood mist with a bang...
The Night Demon brother, who was shielded by his younger brother, emitted a series of crackling sounds like firecrackers. At that moment, all the bones in his body were shattered by the force of that punch, and he was sent flying backward, smashing a ditch over a hundred meters long in the long street before crashing into the clock tower, causing the entire clock tower to shake violently.
The ancient bell atop the bell tower hummed loudly under the immense force of the shaking, its sound reverberating throughout the entire Bewildered Heart City, like a death knell tolling.
Just as everyone was shocked by such a terrifying punch, Chu Xinghe spoke with a disappointed expression, "Too hasty... I thought I could kill both of them... The power of Body Cultivation is still a bit lacking..."
