Late Warring States period.

The border area where the states of Wei, Han, and Zhao meet.

Heavy troops were deployed.

However, there are still several smaller paths to take.

However, the paths are always narrow and winding, which is not conducive to the movement of large armies. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the enemy army sneaking in through these paths. Moreover, there are some symbolic outposts for guarding.

But today.

On this night of torrential rain.

Dozens of figures sped past on the increasingly muddy path.

The muddy water that occasionally splashed up was extremely murky.

However, due to the properties of water...

It still managed to barely reflect the image of this group of people.

The leader was a woman with a curvaceous figure.

Wearing an iron Masks.

His specific appearance was not visible.

He held the sword in one hand, carrying it behind his back.

She wore a long fishtail dress with inner soft armor.

The one-piece soft armor even covered both the upper and lower body at the same time, creating a rather unique sight.

Fishnet stockings!

However, unlike ordinary fishnet stockings, these two fishnet stockings, which are connected to the soft armor on the upper body, are woven from the First Silkworm Hundred Refined Silk. Both their toughness and hardness are stronger than ordinary bronze and iron weapons, only weaker than some divine weapons, such as those forged from meteorite iron.

In other words, even if someone were to slash you with a bronze or iron weapon, you would at most suffer superficial wounds and not damage your bones.

In addition, the most important characteristic of the First Silkworm Hundred Refined Silk is its excellent containment of Internal Force. Internal Force can be transmitted almost without loss, using each thread on these two fishnet stockings as a carrier to form a special film. It's like putting a net in soapy water, rinsing it, and then pulling it out; a transparent film appears, and blowing it out creates bubbles. Although these fishnet stockings can't actually make people blow bubbles, they can still achieve this kind of coating. With the fishnet stockings covering those dazzlingly white long legs, the problem of defense is perfectly solved, and it doesn't affect flexibility.

Therefore, as long as Internal Force is not exhausted, one will not even suffer physical injuries.

And these two fishnet stockings.

And the black mesh reflective soft armor on top.

Including this long dress.

In summary, this complete set has a special name.

Fish Scale!

Just like the sword in the woman's hand.

That sword also has a special name.

However, compared to the beautiful Fish Scale soft armor skirt, the name of this sword is absolutely terrifying, often inspiring fear in people.

Startled Salamander!

One of the Eight Swords of King Yue.

The sword wielded by Jing Ni, the top Heaven Ranked Assassin the Net Startled Salamander.

Wherever they went, death followed.

However, the deployment of the Net meant that someone else would die, so even if it wasn't Startled Salamander who was targeted, death would still follow.

Therefore, the blame cannot be entirely placed on Startled Salamander.

However, one thing must be confirmed: the deployment of the Net Heaven Ranked Assassin often means that the mission is extremely difficult, and it also means that those powerful people standing at the top of this world are going to suffer, or rather, face death!

Some people put in a lot of effort but still fail to achieve great things.

Some people can cause a huge upheaval with the slightest movement.

This is a weighting ratio summarized by a certain Daoist master.

Therefore, while the hunt by Net is terrifying, the deployment of the Heaven Ranked Assassin is even more terrifying. This fear can even spread throughout a country, just like the target of Startled Salamander Ni's mission.

Wei Wuji!

Lord Xinling one of the Four Lords of the Warring States.

He is also the mainstay of the Wei Kingdom today.

The successor of one of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions.

If Wei Wuji a tragic death.

It's uncertain whether King An of Wei will feel relieved.

But the Qin Kingdom will surely be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

As a result, the people of the Wei Kingdom suffered.

In the end, it is always the ordinary people who suffer the most in any war.

But in this chaotic world.

Ordinary people have no channels to voice their opinions.

Whether it hurts or not, gradually no one cares anymore.

Just like how the Qin Kingdom sent Net to assassinate Wei Wuji.

What Wei Wuji thinks has nothing to do with the Qin Kingdom.

Of course, attempting to take Wei Wuji's life in this way is a sign of the incompetence of the entire Qin Kingdom and an extreme disrespect for talent. If possible, Qin Kingdom would rather confront Lord Xinling on the battlefield, defeat him, and execute him than resort to such despicable methods to directly attack the person in question.

However, this was not the early Spring and Autumn Period.

It was at the end of the Warring States period.

The practice of Duke Xiang of Song remaining inactive and allowing the Chu army to cross the river, which was morally sound but unlikely to bring victory, has been rejected by the modern era.

To achieve one's goals, one will stop at nothing.

This is the current mainstream trend.

Therefore, even though Lü Buwei felt ashamed.

Even those in the Qin Kingdom who knew about this were ashamed to talk about it.

For the benefit of the country.

They had no choice but to order Net to carry out the assassination.

Even if it might cost the life of a Heaven Ranked Assassin, in the eyes of powerful figures, it is merely a necessary sacrifice.

Let's get back to the main topic.

Behind this top- Heaven Ranked Assassin the Net organization Startled Salamander.

Dozens of assassins from the Net organization, each with different equipment and appearances but all bearing the mark of a spider, silently followed Startled Salamander, letting the rain soak their clothes. They didn't stop to seek shelter, but instead silently headed towards their destination, which was within the territory of the Wei Kingdom.

It's worth mentioning.

They are now at the border of three countries.

They had just left the territory of the Zhao Kingdom.

To the right is the Han Kingdom, one of the Seven Warring States.

To the left is the Wei Kingdom, one of the Seven Warring States.

Although it was possible to enter Wei Kingdom directly from the Zhao Kingdom territory, since the two countries were adjacent, it was just a matter of crossing a border. However, the fact that Qin Kingdom and Zhao Kingdom were constantly in a state of friction meant that the weakness of the Zhao Kingdom territory did not affect the strength of the Zhao Kingdom's border defense. These people were not strong enough to directly break through the border.

The existence of Internal Force only made them more capable of fighting.

It doesn't mean they've become invincible.

Even a top- Heaven Ranked Assassin assassin like Startled Salamander, one of the world's most renowned experts, would be no match for such a well-trained army.

Three hundred cavalrymen came up.

Under a barrage of arrows.

They'll die just like that.

Just like the words spoken by the Ying Zheng Ying Zheng in the opening of Qin's Moon.

If we can't catch them with 300 men, then we'll use 3,000!

Thirty thousand people!!

Three hundred thousand!!!

At full health, Gai Nie is widely recognized as the Number One Swordsman in the World. Even though he was severely injured by three hundred Golden Fire Cavalry while protecting Tianming, and even fell into a coma and was on the verge of death several times, this is an indisputable fact.

Even the Number One Swordsman in the World has been beaten to this state.

If anyone else went up there, the outcome would be predictable.

Even without considering the factor of dawn.

Even Gai Nie couldn't kill through three thousand Golden Fire Cavalry.

Therefore, it's best to avoid conflict if possible.

They are killers.

Not a traitor.

It's best to avoid doing anything that might cause unnecessary trouble.

However, they were very unlucky today.

It wasn't because they chose the wrong assassination target.

It wasn't because the rain affected the speed.

Rather, it means...

"Snap!"

An exceptionally loud and unusual thunderclap rang out!

Golden Thunderclap Academy swept across the heavens and earth in an instant!

The unusual color caused even the assassins from the Net, who were traveling in the rain, to slow down and instinctively observe their surroundings.

They had seen white Thunderclap Academy before.

They had never seen blue and red Thunderclap Academy, but they had heard of it.

What's with this golden Thunderclap Academy?

There was also sound.

Normal thunder is dull and muffled.

The kind that makes a rumbling sound.

Unlike this time.

With a click.

That gave me a fright.

Even Startled Salamander subconsciously slowed down.

But it was only a brief slowdown.

She quickly regained her composure, glanced at her subordinates—the lower-ranking assassins of the Net —whose attention was somewhat scattered, pushed up her Masks with one hand, and unusually spoke, reprimanding, "Keep up! Don't slow down!"

The group of assassins from the Net nodded.

This is a silent answer.

It seems disrespectful.

But this is one of the professional habits.

Because sound can give away an assassination, a successful killer and a successful assassin are two different things. A killer has to consider an escape route, while an assassin does not. Therefore, for them, remaining silent has almost become an instinct.

However, accidents often happen unexpectedly!

Lightning flashed brilliantly!

It crashed down from the sky!

Golden lightning pillars rippled out layers of lightning magma!

They blocked Startled Salamander and the others' original path!

In fact, the distance wasn't far at all. Startled Salamander, who was running at the very front, was only about fifty meters away from the lightning pillar. Given her running speed of more than twenty meters per leap, she only needed to touch the ground twice with her toes to reach the range of the lightning pillar and die without a burial place!

The splashed pebbles were annihilated in the thunderous magma.

Turned into a handful of ashes.

Against the backdrop of extremely bright lightning.

It vanished easily from everyone's sight like a black bubble.

This left many assassins from the Net breathless.

Faced with such overwhelming power, individual strength is far too weak, to the point that even the Sisi of competitive spirit seems presumptuous.

It's utterly ridiculous.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

What horrified them even more was the scene after the lightning disappeared!

"Cough cough cough..."

The boy, his clothes torn, knelt on the ground.

No.

It should be said that they were supporting themselves on all fours.

A visible white aura swirled around him.

Amidst heart-wrenching coughs.

It was large swaths of vomited blood.

It crashed onto the muddy ground.

Mix with mud and water.

It looked utterly disheveled after being washed by the heavy rain.

However, the tattered boy seemed to realize this as well, raising his hand to cover his mouth. But the blood flowing from between his fingers and his hunched, swaying body still indicated that he was in a very bad state, and at least he looked like he was not far from death.

This bizarre scene is truly baffling.

But what happened next was even more chilling.

"The oppressive force of this place is incredibly strong!"

A mini version of the Snow Empress.

It looks to be only the size of two palms.

It appeared out of thin air.

Then, smack.

He fell to the ground just like Ye Qingcang.

It even landed directly in a small mud puddle.

He compared the sudden increase in size of Ye Qingcang from his own perspective.

Immediately, I understood.

This is not Ye Qingcang growing bigger.

Instead, I've become smaller.

They compared the body sizes of the two sides.

He tried using his own power again.

I was just about to speak up and give my specific estimate.

Then he saw Ice Empress, who was about half his size, also appear out of thin air, and then, without understanding what was going on, he fell into another small mud puddle next to him with a thud.

"I'm seriously... fuck!"

Looking at myself, all dirty and disheveled.

Ice Empress was immediately stunned.

She was only the size of a palm, and even swearing was a bit hesitant, because her mentality had been shattered to the point that she had no desire to swear.

I couldn't help but gag.

Only then did they notice the blood that Ye Qingcang had coughed up.

She exclaimed in surprise, "What happened to you... no, where are you hurt?"

"Bing'er, shut up."

"Feel the pressure of this world."

"You should understand by now."

Snow Empress struggled to her feet. The overwhelming pressure caused even her soul to flicker intermittently, like a reflection in water.

Ice Empress obediently shut their mouths.

They even closed their eyes.

It lasted for less than a second.

Suddenly she looked up.

He exclaimed, "What the hell kind of place is this? My mental power has been suppressed by more than 16,000 times! Even if I've lost my physical body, this level of suppression is just too outrageous... Wait, if we recalculate the resistance ratio between the soul and the body based on this data... the pressure has increased by more than forty times?"

"You know... cough cough, the world is so big, right?"

"More than forty times the pressure... it's really unbearable."

"Blood flow has been affected."

"Not to mention the internal organs."

Shortness of breath and chest tightness... cough cough, all normal.

"I can still breathe, which means I'm still alive... At most, my mobility is affected. Originally, I could run 100 meters per second, but now, I can barely run 3 meters per second... Even when I enter the magnetic field state, I can easily run 1,000 meters per second and break the sound barrier three times. But here, at this moment, I can only run 20 meters per second. Whether I can reach 30 meters per second depends on my condition."

"Now you understand why I only dared to descend upon this world after completing the Fifth Sublimation and entering the Sixth Sublimation, right?"

"It's not a skill."

"Just talking about physical fitness."

"Because the only way to withstand pressure is through physical fitness."

"After three sublimations, the base speed is 288 meters per second."

"After four sublimations, the base speed is 576 meters per second."

"Fifth Sublimation, the speed can be increased to 1,152 seconds."

"So... under forty times the gravity."

"You can do the math."

"I... cough cough, how many more meters can I run?"

Ye Qingcang adjusted his breathing.

The magnetic field is then activated.

I finally managed to stand up.

Even if it's a little shaky.

Both the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress mentally calculated this number.

Of course.

Snow Empress is quite calm and composed.

I controlled my emotions.

But Ice Empress is less composed.

He exclaimed in disbelief, "Twenty-eight point eight per second... less than thirty meters per second?"

"One thousand one hundred and fifty-two divided by forty."

"Isn't it normal to be under thirty?"

"When it reaches thirty, that's 1200 seconds per second."

"While it's not difficult to double your bet, or even five times or less, with some techniques, technique and physical ability are ultimately two different things!"

Ye Qingcang slowly clenched his fist.

Honestly.

This feeling of weakness is not good.

It was just like when he was a teenager running with weights on.

The feeling of being able to run faster but being limited by the weight you carry, and being forced to accept reality, is certainly not pleasant.

But on the path to becoming stronger.

Carrying heavy loads is a common occurrence.

People strive for higher positions, while water flows downhill.

People who grow up under such oppressive gravity.

Any one of them could be placed in the Douluo Continent.

They could easily kill a Title Douluo.

Even if God King from the Douluo Continent came to this world, he would be severely suppressed. Forget about traversing the starry sky; if his speed could exceed 340 meters per second, he would still lose!

so...

"I'm waiting for my body to adapt to this environment."

"I'm waiting for my magnetic field to merge with the environment."

"And you?"

"What are you waiting for?"

Ye Qingcang slowly raised his head.

He looked at Startled Salamander and the others, who were fifty meters away.

A wide, toothy smile.

It was very sunny and very bright.

However, the rain was cold and slightly chilly.

He delivered his calm words to Startled Salamander and the other assassins from the Net organization. "I'm sorry, you've seen a secret you shouldn't have... So, I can only keep it a secret in my own way!"
