Counterattack! (4K)

"Which assassin organization do you belong to? Which faction are you employed by?"

Lu Changsheng guessed that the other party was a member of an assassin organization, but he still didn't know the real mastermind behind it.

These two assassins were merely tools.

"Although you've discovered our origins through deception, you can't escape death."

The two assassins realized they had spoken out of turn, so they kept silent.

"You killed the Demon Race's Divine Son, yet you didn't escape but stayed here, which means my target was also included."

Lu Changsheng has offended quite a few forces, so it's still impossible to guess which force hired him.

The pro-war Demon Kings had a reason to kill both the Demon Race's Divine Son and Lu Changsheng at the same time.

The Demon Realm also has ample motives to instigate a war Three Realms and to eliminate Lu Changsheng, a thorn in its side.

Furthermore, Lu Changsheng had offended Imperial Son Ku of the Heavenly Emperor's Son, giving the Heavenly Court a reason to take action.

The Heavenly Court's Hundred Thousand Divine Palaces may not necessarily act together.

The two assassins were able to kill Young Master Wang; their strength was terrifying, as they were both Great Perfection God Kings.

Moreover, he was not an ordinary Great Perfection God King.

As a divine Divine Son of the Demon Race, Young Master Wang possesses a large number of Immortal Pills, coupled with the Yin-Yang Sacred Body, making him someone that even a typical Great Perfection God King might not be able to kill.

These two assassins, capable of killing Young Master Wang, might very well be unparalleled masters on the God King Ranking.

"I'll hold them off for now. You escape back to Tushan and find Senior Ji Su and the others."

Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth. Trying to hold off two assassins at the Great Completion Great Perfection God King level by himself was extremely difficult, and he might lose his life.

Even with Ji Xuan's help, they were no match for the two assassins. Only the arrival of Great Expert from the Heavenly Fox Clan of Tushan could subdue them and uncover the truth.

"But Master, you will die."

Ji Xuan also understood just how powerful these two assassins were.

The Demon Race's Divine Son has been killed, so Lu Changsheng won't fare much better.

Her staying was at least a help.

"Don't you listen to your master? Tushan's arrival is the only solution."

Lu Changsheng gripped the Netherflame Sword with utmost caution.

This crisis was a near-death experience.

Lu Changsheng was fully prepared to go all out.

"All right."

Ji Xuan knew that even if the master and disciple joined forces, they couldn't stop the two assassins. At this point, going back to ask her Grandmother for help was the best course of action.

Lu Changsheng held the Netherflame Sword in his left hand and summoned the Ten Thousand Demons Banner Ten Thousand Demons Banner, the Primordial Spirits of the Kui-Phoenix Clan and the Chitie Demon Ox Primordial Spirit, and demonic clouds gathered.

"Roar--"

With a dragon's roar, the Primordial Ancient Thunder Dragon Primordial Spirit was summoned by Lu Changsheng, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, each whisker formed of lightning.

The three-headed Demon Race Primordial Spirit aided in the battle.

Lu Changsheng swallowed an Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill, temporarily boosting his cultivation level.

Against a master of this caliber, without using Immortal Pill to enhance one's cultivation, one wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move.

Ji Xuan also took the Medicinal Pills from the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan, causing her Demon Qi to surge.

"Dealing with these geniuses from top-tier forces is tricky; it seems like they have an inexhaustible supply of Immortal Pill."

"If I had known they were so hard to kill, I would have asked for a higher bounty."

The two assassins didn't seem worried that Lu Changsheng and his companions could escape, and let them take the Medicinal Pills.

The Demon Race Divine Son, Young Master Wang, also possessed a large number of Immortal Pills, including the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill, yet he was still killed by them.

The human and the demon before us are hardly any better than Young Master Wang, are they?

Lu Changsheng gleaned some more information from the conversation.

The two assassins' target wasn't just Young Master Wang, but also Lu Changsheng.

What force is it that is determined to kill them?

Could it be the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable, the Cold Bone Demon Venerable, and the others?

Judging from what the two assassins said, since they were hired by someone to go deep into the Yao Realm to carry out a mission, they might not know the true identity of their employer.

Lu Changsheng's Personal Disciple, Su Xiaoqi, is an assassin in the assassin organization "Eternal Night." She knows that these assassins only accept missions and may not necessarily know who their employers are.

In theory, as long as the price is paid, there will be assassins willing to take the job.

"Walk."

Lu Changsheng was prepared to stop the two assassins and secretly sent a telepathic message to Ji Xuan to leave.

Lu Changsheng waved the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, and the Primordial Spirits of the Kui-Phoenix Clan and the Chitie Demon Ox Primordial Spirit rushed towards the two assassins. At this moment, Ji Xuan flew away on her sword and fled towards Tushan.

"A trivial skill."

"External Incarnation!"

One of the assassins made a hand seal with his left hand, and an Avatar appeared, like a phantom, chasing after Ji Xuan.

Boundless Sword Qi!

The two assassins' swords moved, unleashing countless Sword Qi that pierced through the Primordial Spirits of the Kui-Phoenix Clan and the Chitie Demon Ox Primordial Spirit.

The two demon Demon Race Primordial Spirits at the God King Realm were instantly torn to shreds by the Sword Qi, unable to withstand even a single blow.

Without the sealed demon spirit, the Ten Thousand Demons Banner Demon Race Primordial Spirit silent.

Lu Changsheng had no choice but to temporarily recall the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, transforming himself into a black shadow to pursue the assassin's External Incarnation.

Lu Changsheng had not expected that the other party was proficient in such a great Divine Ability.

This assassin's External Incarnation possesses 70-80% of his own power; once it catches up with Ji Xuan, Ji Xuan will be no match for him.

Two assassins followed Lu Changsheng in pursuit.

They were moving extremely fast, and the distance between them was rapidly closing.

"Fox Fire Lotus Bloom!"

Ji Xuan was intercepted by the assassin's External Incarnation, Demon Qi transformed into countless foxfires that attacked the External Incarnation.

The difference between you and me is like the difference between clouds and mud.

The assassin External Incarnation a hand chop, his True Qi becoming an invisible blade of light that cleaved through the foxfire, the blade almost grazing past him.

Ji Xuan broke out in a cold sweat.

Even if this assassin is just an Avatar, his strength far surpasses hers.

The assassin's avatar unleashed another hand chop, which was blocked by the Primordial Chaos Bell summoned by Ji Xuan.

The Primordial Chaos Bell vibrated, barely managing to withstand the attack from the assassin's avatar.

However, the Primordial Chaos Bell was repelled, and the assassin avatar stalked him like a ghost, a Dagger appearing in his hand.

The Dagger had a dark purple sheen, clearly indicating it was coated with a potent poison.

Even the Daggers used by assassins of the King Yama-Rank are Dao Artifacts, and the deadly poison coated on Dagger can kill instantly upon contact with blood.

Ji Xuan used her Immortal Sword to fight him, desperately avoiding the Dagger.

"Your strength is not bad, but unfortunately I am eight realms above you. You will eventually perish."

The assassin's right sleeve suddenly aimed at Ji Xuan, and silver needles shot out one after another.

"Sudden Rain Pear Blossom Needles?"

Ji Xuan quickly dodged, and in the process, used her Long Sword to deflect the silver needles.

Sudden Rain Pear Blossom Needles, Fourth-Grade Dao Artifact- level hidden weapon!

Moreover, the Sudden Rain Pear Blossom Needles may be coated with highly poisonous substances!

Ji Xuan dodged with all her might, managing to avoid all the Sudden Rain Pear Blossom Needles, but the assassin's Dagger came again.

The Sudden Rain Pear Blossom Needles merely forced Ji Xuan to the position the other party had planned, while the assassin's Dagger was the real killing move!

The opponent was a peerless assassin who dared to kill even the son of Demon God. He was experienced and, in addition to his profound skill, he was also very experienced in combat. Ji Xuan's movements had already been predicted by the opponent.

The Dagger came flying, Ji Xuan had no way to dodge.

Laugh.

The Dagger pierced her flesh, but a figure shielded Ji Xuan from Dagger.

"Master!"

Ji Xuan's eyes widened in shock. Her master, Lu Changsheng, had arrived just in time to shield her from the fatal blow.

Lu Changsheng's eyes sharpened. Just as the assassin's avatar struck him, his sleeve pointed at the assassin's avatar. "You're not the only one with the Sudden Rain Pear Blossom Needles."

Jiujiu chirp chirp.

Lu Changsheng unleashed the full power of the Sudden Rain Pear Blossom Needles hidden in his sleeve, striking the assassin's avatar with all the silver needles!

The assassin's avatar was weaker than the True Body and was hit by more than twenty silver needles, forcing him to retreat.

"Puff."

Lu Changsheng repelled the assassin's avatar and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

The mouthful of black blood had a foul odor, clearly a sign of poisoning.

"Master, are you alright? This is our Heavenly Fox Clan's Detoxification Pill, please take it quickly."

Ji Xuan hurriedly took out various Detoxification Pills.

If her master hadn't blocked the Dagger for her, she would likely have been killed.

"My Dagger is coated with the Black Pool Miasma Poison; if he doesn't have the corresponding Detoxification Pill, he will surely die."

Two assassins arrived at that moment. One of them summoned his assassin avatar, which then merged with his True Body.

He sneered as he sized up Lu Changsheng, surprised that he had succeeded so easily.

"Master, don't die, I will definitely save you..."

Ji Xuan was extremely anxious and wanted to personally feed Lu Changsheng the Detoxification Pill.

Lu Changsheng grabbed her wrist, calming his agitated Disciple: "I have already taken the White Lotus Sacred Pill, which can cure this Poison. That mouthful of black blood just now was my way of forcing out the deadly poison."

Lu Changsheng's Disciple Xiao Fan, was sent by him to study under the Pill Saint in the Lianshan Holy Land. Xiao Fan was proficient in various Medicinal Pills, among which Detoxification Pills were a Medicinal Pills category. Lu Changsheng also learned a lot about the effects of Detoxification Pill pills from Xiao Fan.

The Nineteenth-Grade Detoxification Pill, "White Lotus Sacred Pill," is just right to dispel the Black Pool Miasma Poison.

"That's great..."

Ji Xuan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled, and she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers.

"You brat, I didn't expect you to carry the White Lotus Sacred Pill with you, and you even recognized the Black Pool Miasma Poison immediately. You're quite shrewd. No wonder someone offered us an exorbitant price to kill you."

Seeing that Lu Changsheng had cured the poison in an instant, the two assassins felt even more strongly that Lu Changsheng was not so simple and was on the same level as Young Master Wang, whom they had been trying to assassinate.

"What you should be worried about now is not killing me, but yourself."

Lu Changsheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He not only cured the poison immediately, but also found a way to counterattack.

"What?" The assassin, who had just retracted his External Incarnation, reacted to Lu Changsheng's words and immediately checked his entire body. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically. "Your Sudden Rain Pear Blossom Needles are coated with Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison!"

He immediately sealed the meridians near the poisoned area to prevent the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison from spreading.

"The Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison?! How could he possess such a lost and wondrous poison?"

The other assassin was also greatly alarmed.

As King Yama-Rank Killer, he is also a master of poisons, possessing an encyclopedic knowledge of every rare and potent toxin.

According to the "Exotic Poisons Ranking" of the Lianshan Holy Land, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison produced by the fully grown Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect ranks sixth.

Even Great Expert could perish if poisoned by the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison.

Although the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison used by Lu Changsheng did not originate from the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect at its peak, the two assassins were not Great Expert either, but rather at the Great Perfection God King.

The assassin, Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison, sealed his heart meridians and took various Detoxification Pill, barely managing to save his life.

However, this also resulted in one of the assassins being poisoned and losing most of his fighting ability.

"You little rascal, you're really troublesome."

For some reason, the two assassins felt a slight fear of Lu Changsheng.

They joined forces to kill the Yao Realm's Divine Son, only to be betrayed by a second, inconspicuous target.

Despite their weak cultivation level, the opponent possessed various life-saving techniques that posed a threat to them, and their attacks were decisive and resolute. If they were not careful, they too would perish.

"Leave now."

Although Lu Changsheng had cured himself of the Black Pool Miasma Poison, he managed to withstand a blow from his opponent thanks to his Invincible Gang Qi and the Dao Body of his Eternal Ages Immortality Art, but he was still not in good shape.

Only if Ji Xuan escapes as soon as possible and brings reinforcements can the situation be truly resolved.

Even a single assassin on the God King Ranking is not someone they can handle.

The enemy was careless, which is why they lost one person. The other person's skills and Divine Abilities should be no less than those of the first assassin.

"We can't let her leave, otherwise we'll alert the fox demons of Tushan, be captured alive, and the Demon God won't let us go!"

The poisoned assassin realized Lu Changsheng and his apprentice's intentions and urged the other assassin to act quickly.

They entered the Yao Realm and assassinated the Demon Race Divine Son, enraging the Demon God. They must not fall into the Demon God's hands.

Then it won't be as simple as just being killed; the Demon God will make them wish they were dead.

"I understand this better than you do. Myriad Heavens Sword Qi, heed my command! Human-Sword Unity, Ten Thousand Paths Return to Dust!"

Another assassin formed Sword Art with his right hand, unleashing a vast Sword Qi that soared into the Firmament, tearing apart the Sword Qi and shattering countless mountains.

This is a world of swords.

This assassin, at the God King Realm, is like the ruler of this world.

"You are Xie Dongjun, the peerless master ranked seventy-fourth on the God King Ranking!"

Lu Changsheng forced the other party to use his signature move and immediately guessed the other party's identity.

The opponent was indeed a renowned expert from the God King Ranking.

Xie Dongjun, Peerless Genius of the Cloud Tower Palace, one of the Heavenly Court's Hundred Thousand Divine Palaces, was banished to the Lower Realm by the Heavenly Court 50 million years ago for violating Xie Dongjun Heavenly Laws. Later, he betrayed Cloud Tower Palace and became an assassin, and was wanted by the Heavenly Court.

No wonder the Demon God discovered the Heavenly Court's methods of controlling people within the body of Young Master Wang's servant.

Xie Dongjun was originally Heavenly General of the Heavenly Court, so he naturally knew all kinds of Divine Ability of the Heavenly Court.

That makes sense now.

The only mystery is who ordered Xie Dongjun to assassinate the Yao Realm's Divine Son.

"Even if you know my identity, it's too late. You two are doomed, and will perish along with this secret!"

Xie Dongjun's Sword Qi was terrifying, like layers of dense clouds.

This is the ultimate martial Supreme Lore of the Cloud Tower Palace!

Although Cloud Tower Palace is not among the Eight Divine Palaces, it ranks among the top in the One Hundred Thousand Divine Palaces, and its ultimate Supreme Lore are extremely powerful.

Moreover, Xie Dongjun was one of the Peerless Genius in Heavenly Court back then. That's why he was able to be ranked on the God King Ranking after being exiled to the Lower Realm. He is very likely to achieve Changsheng Immortality Realm in his lifetime.

"I will live and die with my master."

The surrounding space had been sealed off by Xie Dongjun's Sword Qi, so Ji Xuan simply spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood and activated the Primordial Chaos Bell with all her might, causing the Primordial Chaos Bell to shine brightly with purple light.

Ji Xuan chose to fight alongside her master.

"Things have come to this, we have no choice but to fight."

Lu Changsheng summoned the Human Emperor Cauldron.

This Ancient Cauldron emerged with a dazzling golden light, echoing the purple glow of the Primordial Chaos Bell.

He managed to eliminate one assassin with the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison, creating an opportunity. There's still one assassin left. If he joins forces with Ji Xuan, they might have a chance to defeat him.

What exactly are you?

Xie Dongjun discovered that the person the powerful figure wanted him to kill was also extremely difficult to deal with.

He wasn't entirely sure either.
