Two Assassination Attempts

"Leave this to me. You just need to tell me the location!" Di Yan said.

Lin Mu nodded slightly.

He found that having subordinates made things easier.

No wonder so many big shots like to take on followers.

If you can find one or two capable people, they can help you solve many problems.

After confirming a few more details, Lin Mu left the place.

Having just regained consciousness, Black Saber King asked curiously, "How was it?"

"There's no major problem, the Earth Soul Clan will be prepared!" Lin Mu said.

"That's good!" Black Saber King cautioned, "Be very careful. You're facing Demon King, not Qin Bingfeng, who was possessed by a wisp of a remnant soul before."

Lin Mu nodded slightly. He had fought against the Demon King before and naturally knew how terrifying the other party was.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Ji Xi hadn't intervened, he might have died at the hands of the other party.

Lin Mu let out a soft sigh, a hint of helplessness on his face.

He's really unlucky to have gotten involved in something like this out of nowhere.

Just as Lin Mu was about to go to sleep, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Mu was a little puzzled. He stood up and walked outside, opening the door.

All that could be seen was a middle-aged man in his forties with a refined appearance standing at the door, a faint smile on his face.

Lin Mu recognized the person in front of him; he was the counselor of the Ask Blade Department. Lin Mu had seen him a few times before, through Lin Yaoyao.

"Hello!" Lin Mu greeted politely.

"Hello!" The middle-aged man smiled and took out a Space Bracelet from his pocket.

"I'm here on behalf of the Academic Affairs Office to deliver some things to you. The Demon King will be making moves during this period, so please be careful!"

Lin Mu nodded. "Yes!"

"It's getting late, you should get some rest!" the middle-aged man said.

After saying that, he turned and left.

But the moment he turned around, the Space Bracelet in Lin Mu's hand suddenly emitted rays of light.

A Formation appeared out of thin air.

Lin Mu's figure was imprisoned within the Formation.

A ruthless glint appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes. A poisoned dagger appeared in his palm, and he stabbed it fiercely towards Lin Mu's chest.

Laugh!

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

The dagger landed on Lin Mu's chest, but the middle-aged man's expression changed noticeably because he didn't feel the knife pierce his flesh.

It was as if it had pierced the air.

Looking at Lin Mu again, they found that Lin Mu's figure had disappeared from the spot.

It appeared a few meters away.

He held a long knife in his hand, and his eyes were cold.

"How did you figure it out?" The middle-aged man asked immediately, his eyes filled with indifference.

"These are extraordinary times; the academy would never send anything at this time!"

"And you were too hasty. You made your move before I even checked the Space Bracelet, which means you only have one chance to make a move!" Lin Mu said coldly.

There was another reason he didn't mention: he possessed the Divine Soul Eye.

They are able to clearly perceive the other person's good or evil.

Although the middle-aged man disguised himself well, a hint of ruthlessness still flashed deep in his eyes.

This is definitely not the look a typical counselor would have.

That's why Lin Mu made a prediction in advance.

Lin Mu also felt somewhat helpless.

The Demon King's methods are indeed astonishing; his henchmen have spread to this extent.

The counselors at the Blade Inquiry Academy wield considerable power.

They often come from privileged backgrounds and possess exceptional talent.

Such people all became the Demon King's loyal followers.

Moreover, Lin Mu knew that this was not the Demon King's last trump card.

Sizzle!

Two whooshing sounds rang out.

Two wounds appeared on the middle-aged man's body, and he coughed up blood before slowly collapsing to the ground.

Two men dressed in black were seen approaching.

They only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the middle-aged man's death.

"Are you alright?" one of the middle-aged men asked.

"It's nothing!" Lin Mu shook his head slightly.

"Be careful!" the middle-aged man said.

"Okay!" Lin Mu nodded.

"It's not safe here anymore, let's go to the safe house first!" A middle-aged man thought for a moment and then said.

"A safe house?" Lin Mu looked puzzled.

"There's Formation set up there, and powerful experts are guarding it, so it's very safe!" the man explained.

Lin Mu pondered for a moment, then immediately nodded. "Okay!"

"Come with me!" the man said, then turned and walked forward.

Seeing them leave, Lin Mu didn't hesitate at all, turned around and fled in the opposite direction.

As he fled, he couldn't help but curse, "That Ji Xi is so unreliable! It's only been a short time, and he's already been attacked twice!"

Not long after Lin Mu fled, the two figures who had left earlier appeared on either side of him, their eyes filled with a sinister look.

"Didn't I say I was taking you to a safe house? Where are you going?" one of the men questioned.

"Are you stupid or am I stupid? Ji Xi originally planned to lure you all out. If he really wanted me to go to the safe house, he would have sent me there already!" Lin Mu scolded.

"That's really cunning!" A murderous glint flashed in the man's eyes.

This was originally a trap they had set.

First, they would have the counselor intervene; if the counselor's attempt to ambush the counselor failed, then they would take action themselves.

Normally, after surviving one wave of assassinations, a person would never expect a second wave to come so quickly.

But Lin Mu realized what was happening and acted so decisively.

Unbeknownst to them, Lin Mu's Divine Soul Eye had already undergone a transformation.

It allows one to directly sense subtle changes in the other person's Divine Soul.

It can also sense enough malice.

The man to Lin Mu's left had a sinister look in his eyes.

Hidden weapons resembling daggers appeared in the palm of his hand.

Whoosh whoosh!

A series of whooshing sounds rang out.

One after another, daggers flew towards Lin Mu.

The Demon Ghost Phantom Body!

In an instant, Lin Mu was enveloped by the Netherworld Power, giving him an elusive and mysterious aura, and his speed was astonishing.

Another man came up above Lin Mu, holding Long Sword, and slashed at Lin Mu.

Sizzle!

One attack after another landed on Lin Mu.

A Phantom an Earth Dragon emerged from Lin Mu's body.

Roar!

The Earth Dragon roared, and a terrifying force swept towards the man.

The man retreated repeatedly, his eyes filled with a cold expression.

Because he knew very well how terrifying the power Lin Mu had just unleashed was.

It could actually attack his Divine Soul directly.

It should be noted that both of them are Fifth-stage Martial Artist.

If dealing with an ordinary Fourth Tier Martial Artist, it would be enough to kill them in almost a single exchange.

But they didn't gain the slightest advantage in front of Lin Mu.

While Lin Mu was fleeing at top speed, several figures were watching the situation from the other side, their eyes filled with indifference.

"They've already started taking action so quickly!"

"They're just small fry; the real players haven't made their move yet!"

"Even the weaklings are this strong, I'm worried he won't be able to handle it!"

"Don't worry, someone has already gone to provide support!"

"..."

The group discussed it amongst themselves.

At this moment, several figures rapidly approached Lin Mu. They all possessed the aura of the Fifth Order. Upon seeing the two men in black, they immediately engaged in a fierce battle, creating a chaotic scene!

Lin Mu gazed at those figures, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Huang Mo, Han Gu...

These are all people who trained with him before.

I just didn't expect them to come and help.

Huang Mo was surrounded by wisps of energy resembling sand and dust.

The terrifying force, like a giant beast, slammed down on one of the men in black.

The man in black retreated quickly, a hint of fear in his eyes.

Seeing their methods, Lin Mu felt a chill run down his spine.

Although he completely surpassed them in cultivation.

But if it really came down to a fight, he would be no match for these people.

"I'm still too weak. I must become stronger!" Lin Mu thought to himself.

"You should leave here first," Huang Mo's icy voice rang out.

That's just his personality; he doesn't like to let his emotions show.

However, this period of arduous training also allowed Lin Mu to get to know him better.

He is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

"Okay!" Lin Mu didn't hesitate and turned around to run towards the Academic Affairs Office.

There are many strong people there, so even if the other party wants to make a move, it won't be so easy.

The battle fluctuations behind him continued to resound, demonstrating the extraordinary combat power of Fifth-stage Martial Artist.

But Lin Mu's figure quickly approached the Academic Affairs Office.

A sense of gloom seemed to descend upon the world.

A soft laugh suddenly rang out.

"As expected of the Nether Emperor Successor, she is truly extraordinary." A woman dressed sexily, around thirty years old, and resembling a bewitching flower, slowly appeared in the night.

She licked her lips, her eyes revealing an unmistakable allure.

When Lin Mu saw her, his eyes were filled with shock.

He recognized the person in front of him; he was a tutor in the Divine Formation Department and someone who had the potential to take charge of the Divine Formation Department.

Lin Mu never expected that she was also one of the Demon King's subordinates.

"Truly worthy of being called the Demon King!" Lin Mu clenched his fists; he had underestimated his opponent's abilities.

"How do you plan to die? My master is very keen to kill you!" The woman had a smile on her face, as if she were asking Lin Mu for his opinion.

"I'm quite surprised. I didn't expect that the prodigy known as the unparalleled genius of array fighting would also submit to the Demon King," Lin Mu said.

"I can't help it, my master is just too valiant, I can't help but be captivated by him!" the woman said with a smile.

"But you've made your move this time, so it's unlikely you'll survive," Lin Mu said.

"My master will naturally find a way to revive me. On the contrary, you should think carefully about how much suffering you will face before you die," the woman said with a smile.

As she spoke, a hundred square meters of space centered on her appeared, with runes Rune Seal Stars, shimmering with light.

An aura of destruction permeated this space.

Each Stars seemed to contain a sharp blade, carrying boundless killing intent.

"This Formation is called the Star River Killing God Formation."

"Those who enter the Formation will not only be unable to Formation, but will also be attacked by tens of thousands of Stars powers. Even if you have Seventh Order cultivation, you will not survive," the woman said with a smile.

She pinched two fingers together and snapped them lightly.

The surrounding light instantly brightened, like countless sharp blades rushing towards Lin Mu at an astonishing speed.

Seeing this scene, Lin Mu sensed the presence of death and knew very well that he could not withstand such an attack.

"Principal Ji, you're really going to get me killed this time!" Lin Mu thought to himself.

Just as tens of thousands of sharp blades were about to fall on him, a majestic voice rang out.

"Condense!"

All the attacks stopped half a meter away from Lin Mu.

A middle-aged man's figure came into view.

The woman looked surprised when she saw the figure.

She didn't expect that this person would actually come.

Lin Mu stared at the figure, slightly taken aback.

Du Zian!

He never expected that he would actually come!

Du Zian stared at the woman with a cold expression and said in a cold voice, "I never expected that you would associate with Demon."

"I didn't expect the academy to send you out." There was a hint of helplessness on the woman's face.

"Tell me why?" Du Zian snapped.

Although the woman in front of him was not his student, she was very talented and had always been valued by Du Zian.

If Du Zian fails to find a successor in the future, he will consider passing on these true skills to the other party.

He just didn't expect that the other party would betray the human race.

The woman wore a faint smile. With a slight stroke of her long, slender fingers, she emitted a Demon aura.

"Why? Guess why?" Scale-like substances appeared on the woman's skin, making her look like a humanoid Demon.

"Even a hundred years of cultivation on the righteous path might not yield much progress, but the demonic path can grant one the power one desires in a very short time. Why, you ask?"

"Today I'll show you why!" The woman's figure was surrounded by wisps of Black Qi, and an extremely dense killing intent surged forth.

Tentacle-like substances appeared around her.

Whoosh whoosh!

A series of whooshing sounds rang out, and these tentacles, like sharp swords, attacked Du Zian's vital points.

Du Zian snorted coldly, and Formation of array fluctuations appeared around him.

"The Thousand Jin Formation!"

"The Ten Thousand Tribulations Formation!"

Power appeared out of thin air, and the tentacles seemed to be suppressed by some kind of force, stopping in place.

The woman's eyes were filled with a sinister look. She quickly formed hand seals, and behind her appeared eyes that emitted an eerie light.

A terrifying fluctuation of Divine Soul emanated from it.

"Death's Eye!"

With the woman's shout, those eyes seemed to resonate with the space around them, cracks appeared in the surrounding space, and invisible forces enveloped Du Zian and Lin Mu.

Her move alone was no less powerful than a full-force attack from Seventh Tier Martial Artist.

Moreover, their methods are bizarre, and even Du Zian needs to be careful in dealing with them.

"Interesting!" Du Zian snorted, and a book appeared in his hand, from which streaks of light flew out.

All that could be seen was Formation appearing between heaven and earth.

Then the Phantom of a deity appeared.

There was an incredulous look in Lin Mu's eyes.

Because he could sense just how terrifying this Formation was!
