Only those who had once been given the opportunity, "Zeus," as well as "Poseidon" and "Athena," watched them leave with pity in their eyes.
They knew that eting the Lord of the Killing Realm could bring great benefits.
But along with the benefits ca a heavy price.
That was the loss of freedom!
Of course, losing freedom ant nothing to the ordinary assassins who envied and despised Mu Jinyu and the others at the mont, but for top-grade assassins like them, it was an unbearable outco.
Therefore, unable to warn Mu Jinyu and the rest, they could only send them off with eyes full of pity, stepping onto a point of no return.
...
Mu Jinyu, Xiang Mantang, and San Liu followed the Vice Alliance Hierarch down the profoundly dark tunnel, arriving at the fourth sub-level.
The fourth sub-level was also imnsely spacious, housing countless rooms, a swimming pool, a gym, an art studio, an entertainnt room...
Following the Vice Alliance Hierarch for a few minutes, they finally reached a tightly shut door.
The Vice Alliance Hierarch opened the heavy door, revealing only the back of a man inside.
The man, dressed in a black robe, stood with his hands behind his back, staring at a piece of calligraphy on the wall that bore the words "Heaven's Path is Clear."
The brushstrokes of the writing were sharp, powerful enough to seem as though they pierced through the paper, giving a peaceful phrase an ominous sense of murderous intent!
At that mont.
The man heard the noise and called out without turning around, "The newcor has arrived, right?"
After a pause, he added eerily, "But San Liu, why have you followed them here?"
"What? San Liu?!"
The Vice Alliance Hierarch who had brought them there was startled by the words of the Lord of the Killing Realm, utterly surprised to find that San Liu had infiltrated the group of three.
San Liu, upon hearing the words of the Lord of the Killing Realm and realizing he had been discovered, showed no surprise.
He knew he had restrictions placed on him by the Lord of the Killing Realm, and that coming here, he was bound to be discovered, but no matter, since he was already there, what did it matter if they found out?
As long as he killed the Lord of the Killing Realm and the Vice Alliance Hierarch and took care of all witnesses, who would know what happened here if Mu Jinyu beca the new King of Slaughter?
"Ha!"
San Liu, seeing the Vice Alliance Hierarch's astonished look when he turned back, instantly revealed a murderous aura in his eyes, pulled a chillingly bright dagger from his pocket, and stabbed directly towards the Vice Alliance Hierarch's heart.
The Vice Alliance Hierarch was also very strong, but caught off guard and at such close range; there was no way he could escape and was imdiately stabbed in the heart by San Liu.
"Hiss!!"
As San Liu's dagger pierced the Vice Alliance Hierarch's heart, he emotionlessly twisted his hand a few tis, shredding the heart, then quickly retreated, putting distance between himself and the Vice Alliance Hierarch!
The Vice Alliance Hierarch, initially caught unawares, by the ti he realized what had happened, his heart had been shredded by San Liu, letting out an unwilling and angry bellow as a fierce Qi Force surged in all directions, and then his body went limp and fell backward.
With his strength, even though he could muster a final retaliatory strike after his heart was shredded, that was all he could manage. With a broken heart, he was dood to die!
Mu Jinyu and Xiang Mantang had also sensed sothing was amiss and retreated as they saw San Liu backing away.
Thus, they were not struck by the Vice Alliance Hierarch's dying counterattack!
"Whew..."
At that mont, the Lord of the Killing Realm, who had been watching the hanging calligraphy on the wall with his back to them, finally slowly turned around.
He wore a mask over his face, his specific features unclear, but one could see his eyes—deep like an abyss, exuding a strange allure as if they could devour a person's spirit!
He spoke in a deep voice, his tone carrying an inexplicable magnetism, "San Liu, have you finally decided to betray ? I am truly disappointed!"
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
As the words fell.
Without any visible movent from the Lord of the Killing Realm, three flying daggers shot towards Mu Jinyu and the others at a high speed and tricky angles!
"Clang!"
Xiang Mantang gripped the Demon Sword Muramasa, drew the sword with a swift motion, and positioned himself in front of Mu Jinyu. With a rapid slash, he split the flying daggers aid at both him and Mu Jinyu in half!
As for the three daggers flying towards San Liu, unfortunately, Xiang Mantang couldn't help him fend those off; San Liu had to fend for himself.
"Clang!"
San Liu naturally had the ability to protect himself. With a casual flick of his dagger, he sliced through the flying daggers sent casually by the Lord of the Killing Realm!
"Ting!"
The daggers he cut changed their course and embedded deeply into the wooden door beside them, the blades quivering incessantly!
"Ha!"
In that mont, as Mu Jinyu and the others countered, the Lord of the Killing Realm also unleashed an extrely terrifying presence.
"Crackle and pop!"
In an instant, all the furnishings inside the room—tea tables, teacups, chairs, and other items—were crushed into dust by the vigorous energy.
The Lord of the Killing Realm, with nothing obstructing his way, suddenly leaped into the air, carrying a furious murderous aura as he charged directly at San Liu, who had just fended off the flying daggers!
San Liu, sensing the montum of the Lord of the Killing Realm, his face changed drastically, and he swung his dagger forward in a stabbing motion with all his might!
But at this mont, he was at the point where his old strength had faded, and new strength hadn't yet erged. As he swung his dagger, it barely carried any inner strength—likely insufficient to harm the Lord of the Killing Realm in the slightest!
Fortunately,
Mu Jinyu, who had not made a move yet, saw sothing was wrong. He quickly pinched up three Silver Needles and with a flick of his hand, shot them towards the Lord of the Killing Realm!
"Ting! Ting! Ting!"
But to their surprise, those infallible Silver Needles of Mu Jinyu, which even "Zeus" had fallen to, were now bent and twisted by the Qi force of the Lord of the Killing Realm as they flew at him.
"What?!"
The expressions of Mu Jinyu and Xiang Mantang changed drastically in an instant.
This Lord of the Killing Realm turned out to be not at the peak of Energy Transformation, not a Martial Arts Grandmaster, but...
A cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm, a Terrestrial Immortal!
The realms of martial arts are divided into: Mingjin, Dark energy, and Energy Transformation.
Mingjin: It is the stage when one has just started on the path of martial arts, using more than brute force but still only having a rudintary understanding of how to use Force Energy.
Dark energy: It represents truly stepping into the threshold of martial arts. Those who enter this realm are one in ten thousand, with those at the completion stage being able to punch from behind a mountain, and those at the peak able to hit an opponent as if hanging a picture, leaving them unable to fall to the ground for a long ti!
As for Energy Transformation, that's the realm of true Grandmaster-level figures. They can move a thousand pounds with four ounces, not even a feather can add weight, nor can a fly or insect land on them. Martial Artists inferior to them can't even touch them.
They can also exert their inner strength externally, breathing out energy as sharp as a knife. They can kill a man from ten ters away, an extrely fearso existence!
Mu Jinyu, Xiang Mantang, and San Liu all belong to this category of Peak powers.
Yet this Lord of the Killing Realm was actually above them, in the supre realm, the arduous "Embrace the Elixir"!
This realm of Embrace the Elixir, in so places cultivators call it the Innate Realm, others call it the God Realm, because those who step into it are no different from immortals, which is why they are also often referred to as Terrestrial Immortals!
This realm is where one integrates the physical body, spirit, and inner strength. All three unite as one, stepping into the unity of Heaven and Man, communicating with heaven and earth. With a simple gesture, they can draw upon the abundant Heaven and Earth Vital Energy to kill their enemies. Within a hundred ters, those who are weaker than them have only the path of death!
Warriors who have reached the Embrace the Elixir realm cannot withstand a nuclear bomb, but ordinary missiles can hardly do anything to them!
They are the terrifying existences that can rival a nation by themselves!
And today they have unexpectedly... encountered such a legendary figure?
Mu Jinyu inwardly cursed their misfortune, no wonder San Liu and Naless were constrained by the Lord of the Killing Realm. Even with the intention to rebel, they had never made a move against him. So this was the reason! ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel[f]ire
