Assassination (Part 2)

"More money?" When Kui Mu True Person heard that, his face darkened until it looked as if water might drip from it.

To invite this person to act this time, he and Zhuang Wuxian had practically spent half their family wealth already. Everything had been agreed on, and now he was pulling this? "Mm. Otherwise, with this little money, it's very hard to make me do work for you." The Bamboo Hat Figure glanced sideways at the two of them and spoke with a sigh.

Kui Mu True Person's face instantly shifted between green and white.

He glanced at Chen Tianliang and the other two as they gradually walked farther away, then finally made up his mind. Drawing in a deep breath, he said, "Fine. The price I promised you before—I'll raise it by fifty percent. How about that?"

"Hahaha, now that's more like it." The Bamboo Hat Figure laughed and said:

"When do we make our move?"

Kui Mu True Person looked at Chen Tianliang's back, killing intent flashing through his eyes. "Now!"

In an instant, the two of them walked out of the alley.

At the same time.

Chen Tianliang, who had just bought a wooden hairpin for coiling hair, gently inserted it into Ying Shuangshuang's hair.

"Wife, you're so pretty."

Chen Tianliang gazed at Ying Shuangshuang and gave a foolish laugh.

Just then.

"Chen Tianliang, you've committed countless evils. Today, I shall Act on Heaven's Behalf!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out.

Immediately after.

A Bamboo Hat Figure, long saber in hand, slashed down viciously at Chen Tianliang with a saber strike that crossed the sky! Sharp, icy saber light bloomed in the dark night like a startled dragon emerging into the world, cleaving down vertically!

"Mm?"

Chen Tianliang abruptly turned around. With a flip of his right hand, a Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd appeared.

He casually swept it in a slanting slash.

Boom—!!

A golden halberd radiance instantly slashed out, colliding viciously in midair with that icy saber radiance! Bang!!! Like two great mountains smashing together, an earth-shaking explosion burst open in an instant!

A massive Shockwave instantly spread outward through the air from the point where the two clashed.

The rooftops of countless surrounding houses were directly lifted off, shaken, and collapsed.

The originally prosperous, lively lantern festival instantly turned into a tragedy of the mortal world.

Some commoners were struck by bricks and stones sent flying on the spot, dying violently then and there.

Even more commoners screamed as they fled in panic!

Chen Tianliang casually waved a hand, scattering the aftershock, then abruptly raised his head, his gaze locking hard onto that Bamboo Hat Black-Robed Figure.

"Coming to the Chen family's territory to make trouble? You're courting death!!!"

Chen Tianliang spoke in an icy voice. His foot stamped heavily, and the earth immediately blasted open into a crater.

His entire body had already shot into the sky like a cannonball, appearing before that Bamboo Hat Black Robed Figure in an instant.

"Slash!!"

He gripped the halberd with both hands, Primal Chaos Power boiling up within him, and brought it down in a heavy cleave.

"I'd like to see just how strong Third Master Chen of the Chen Clan, whose combat strength is said to be outstanding in the legends, truly is."

The Bamboo Hat Black Robed Figure let out a cold snort through his nose. The cultivation of the True Self Third Level instantly spread out with him at its center.

He brought his saber forward in a slanting slash.

A saber light like a strip of white silk instantly illuminated the entire dark night.

Boom—!!

The two collided again! That saber light like a strip of white silk had only just touched the great halberd when it shattered layer by layer.

Then, this halberd struck heavily onto the Bamboo Hat Black Robed Figure's saber.

"This power..."

The Bamboo Hat Black Robed Figure's expression changed instantly. He only felt a terrifying, colossal force capable of shaking a hundred mountains surge toward him. Before he had time to react, he was instantly cleaved backward and sent flying.

Bang!!

He plummeted hard through the air, his back smashing through several tall buildings in succession before he barely came to a stop.

At the place where he had crashed down, a deep pit over ten zhang in diameter had already appeared! Chen Tianliang held his halberd in one hand and stood in the air.

His body was majestic, his full head of black hair dancing wildly. He lowered his head to look at the Bamboo Hat Black Robed Figure, baleful violence surging in his eyes.

"Weak as wild grass by the roadside, and you still dare come assassinate me?"

The Bamboo Hat Black Robed Figure opened his mouth and coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, then leaped up from the crater.

"Ziwei's Chen Clan's Primal Chaos Power truly lives up to its reputation." The Bamboo Hat Black Robed Figure's face was dark as he looked toward the empty air to one side. "Are you still not going to make a move?"

The next moment.

Kui Mu True Person, wearing a broad hood that hid most of his face, walked out step by step from the void.

The cultivation of the True Self First Layer radiated from Kui Mu True Person.

The two of them formed a pincer with each other, sealing off Chen Tianliang's escape route.

"Kill!"

Kui Mu True Person's voice was hoarse as he opened his mouth and spat out a single word.

In an instant, the two of them charged at Chen Tianliang once more! "Great Wilderness Nine Slashes!"

The bamboo-hatted Black Robed Figure pushed his cultivation to the limit and instantly slashed out nine times!

As for Kui Mu True Person, in order not to expose his identity, he instantly flung out a large number of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning talismans, hurling them at Chen Tianliang.

In an instant, thunderbolts struck down from the void, torrential rain poured, storm after storm swept through, and all kinds of world-shaking phenomena erupted!

"Wife, protect the child."

Chen Tianliang lowered his head and gave Ying Shuangshuang an instruction.

Then he raised his head again, his gaze turning toward Kui Mu True Person and the other man as they attacked together, sparks of excitement beginning to flicker in his eyes.

"No matter how many ants there are, how could they bite an elephant to death?"

Chen Tianliang let out a long laugh, Immortal Golden Light radiating from his entire body as he instantly charged toward the two of them.

Bang bang bang!!

In the blink of an eye.

Chen Tianliang fought one against two, exchanging over a hundred moves!

Half of Lin'an City seemed as if it were about to be split apart by the battle!

Tower after tower and palace after palace all collapsed, like a scene of the world's destruction! Boom! Chen Tianliang swept his halberd sideways, forcing Kui Mu True Person and the bamboo-hatted Black Robed Figure back.

No. If this fight continues like this, the entire Lin'an City will be split wide open.

Chen Tianliang's thoughts flashed.

The next moment.

He stepped forward with his right foot, a low, vicious laugh rumbling from his throat.

"Halberd Art: Split Heaven and Earth!!!"

Boom—! In an instant, mysterious golden patterns surged over the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd in Chen Tianliang's hand.

Roar!!! The cry of a dragon rang out from the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd.

"Every last one of you, die for me!!"

Chen Tianliang gripped his halberd and chopped down with savage force.

A golden colossal dragon, its Azure Horn propping up the sky and its body like a mountain of bedrock, instantly surged out from the dragon-patterned halberd, smashing Kui Mu True Person and the bamboo-hatted Black Robed Figure and sending them both flying backward.

Boom—! The two of them flew backward a thousand meters, their backs violently shattering the city wall, directly blasted out of Lin'an City by this strike.

"Weak, weak, weak, weak!!"

"With that little bit of skill, you think you can come kill me, Chen Tianliang?!"

"Come on! Keep coming to kill me!!!"

Chen Tianliang was like an ancient demon god descended to the world, divine light endlessly spewing from his eyes.

Bang! He lifted his right foot and stamped once more in the void.

Bang bang bang~!

In an instant, accompanied by the explosive sounds of air currents formed by his high-speed movement, Chen Tianliang leaped after them, continuing his attack toward Kui Mu True Person and the bamboo-hatted Black Robed Figure outside the city.

Seeing this, the bamboo-hatted Black Robed Figure's mind was instantly shaken with terror, and he said urgently, "This Chen Tianliang is only True Self Second Layer. How can he be this strong?"

Beside him, Kui Mu True Person's blood and qi churned inside his body, and hearing this, he could not help curling his lip.

Nonsense!

If this Chen Tianliang weren't strong, why would I spend such a huge price to hire you?

"Relax. Chen Tianliang has Reverse Malady in his body. In a hundred breaths at most, his Reverse Malady will erupt!"

Kui Mu True Person gave a cold laugh as he spoke.

Hearing this, the bamboo-hatted Black Robed Figure felt slightly more at ease and swiftly took out a bottle of elixir from his sleeve and poured it down his throat.

In an instant, the aura throughout his body surged.

The two of them once again advanced to meet Chen Tianliang.
