Swoosh! Swoosh!
Over ten powerful gusts of wind suddenly erupted nearby.
Duan Gujin imdiately determined that two of the strong gusts were aid at him, while the others targeted the fourth assassin.
With his Divine Sense extended, he quickly scouted and identified those gusts as Hidden Weapons.
Although he could dodge the Hidden Weapons aid at him, it was difficult for him to prevent the other ten or so from striking that last assassin.
"So soone is trying to silence by killing!"
Duan Gujin realized this too late; he couldn't stop the fourth assassin.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Despite shifting his position, that last assassin was overwheld by the number of Hidden Weapons, sealing off his escape and striking his body with at least seven or eight of them.
After those Hidden Weapons hit him, his body was heavily slamd onto the ground.
The next mont, the assassin hurriedly spat out several mouthfuls of black blood, rolled his eyes back, and breathed his last.
Seeing this, Duan Gujin's eyes locked on to the location from which the Hidden Weapons had been fired.
After a while, he saw over ten more Hidden Weapons being launched from a small alley ahead, and a figure moving at Extre Speed towards the front.
"Trying to escape?"
Duan Gujin would certainly not let the assassin get away; he imdiately started chasing the fleeing assassin at Extre Speed.
Before he could catch up, after chasing for more than ten ters, he heard a series of rapid whooshing sounds behind him.
"Hidden Weapons!"
His heart startled, he instantly realized that an assassin had appeared behind him.
He turned around, ready to face the enemy.
Quickly, he saw six flashes of light appearing in the Void ahead, all targeting him.
With a swift dodge to the side, he avoided those Hidden Weapons.
Soon, he heard a violent collision noise from the ground and saw countless flashes of light striking the fallen bodies.
The next mont, he realized there were still quite a few Hidden Weapons aid at the corpses of the assassins on the ground.
"So there was another assassin lurking in the dark, and both assassins are skilled with Hidden Weapons!"
Duan Gujin hadn't anticipated the situation to unfold like this; it was completely outside of his previous assumptions.
He had originally thought there were only four assassins, not expecting two more proficient in Hidden Weapons to be hiding in the dark.
He intended to pursue another assassin; however, he soon found himself unable to sense any presence nearby—the assassin had escaped.
Thus, he began to check the four corpses on the ground.
After a while, he deduced that the first Hidden Weapons assassin was more potent, while the second was weaker.
The first Hidden Weapons assassin's purpose was to silence by killing, while the second aid to ensure that the three corpses on the ground were genuinely dead.
"What a sinister assassin!"
A flash in Duan Gujin's eyes, he knew he had been attacked by an enemy.
"Who is targeting ? Ye Wanghui or his cousin, or could it be Duan Tianlang or Cao Dingtian?"
Duan Gujin's gaze flickered as he quickly thought, examining the four bodies on the ground without finding any traces.
The absence of any clues on the assassins' bodies shocked Duan Gujin.
He did not linger at the scene, fearing a trap. With a flash, he turned into a streak of light and rapidly fled.
The assassins did not want to assassinate him in a crowded place; they had previously chosen a very secluded corner to make their move.
Duan Gujin was filled with confusion about who had tried to assassinate him.
That night, within the Duan Family's courtyard, Duan Gujin received a letter that whizzed from afar.
He carefully opened the letter, seeing it read, 'At eight o'clock tonight, co alone to Ye Tang where Ye Manxiang resides. Do not tell anyone else about this, or bear the consequences!'
Upon reading the letter, Duan Gujin realized that the Ye siblings had been kidnapped.
"I was the target of an assassination attempt during the day, and now I've received a letter about the Ye siblings being kidnapped in the evening. It seems soone is targeting ! Tonight, I will et the real culprit! That culprit truly deserves to die!"
Duan Gujin exhaled a breath of turbid air, hurriedly began to make all preparations, including readying Fire Poison Powder in the storage ring.
When seven o'clock arrived in the evening, he set off towards the Ye family's small courtyard.
Before he got close to the small courtyard, he detected the presence of many enemy figures nearby.
With a flicker, he began to wander the area, which he was very familiar with.
Soon, he thoroughly scouted the surroundings to see how many enemies lurked.
With another flicker, he quietly approached.
An assassin was lurking in the shadows, carefully observing the situation ahead, not realizing that an enemy was approaching from behind.
However, the assassin soon sensed a sudden breeze from behind. As he turned around, he caught a faint scent.
"Poison!"
The assassin wanted to shout, but he found that a powerful force had instantly sealed his throat.
Before he could make a sound, he stopped breathing and slowly fell to the ground.
Duan Gujin exhaled slowly, and just by imitating the assassin's actions, he managed to take out several other assassins lying in wait nearby.
After dealing with those assassins, he entered the small courtyard he had previously arranged for the two siblings of the Ye family. There he found Ye Wanghui and his cousin, accompanied by four masked n in black.
"So it was you!"
Duan Gujin's expression darkened as if about to drip water. He knew the two siblings of the Ye family were wanted by Pri Minister Cao.
If they were caught by Pri Minister Cao's n, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Damn it!"
Duan Gujin never expected that while he was working hard to protect the Duan Family, these unworthy descendants were dragging the family down.
If Pri Minister Cao found out about the association between the Ye family siblings and the Duan Family, he would surely launch a fierce attack. Given his current strength and that of the Duan Family, they would face extermination just like in his past life.
"These two bastards deserve to die!"
Duan Gujin took a deep breath and quickly began to think about how to rescue the Ye family siblings.
And there they were next to him, the Ye family siblings tied up tightly like rice dumplings.
Seeing this, Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, and he knew what he had to do next.
He released his Divine Sense and noticed six assassins lying in ambush nearby.
"It seems to kill , these two pests from the Duan Family have really spared no expense!"
Using his Divine Sense, Duan Gujin imdiately determined that these assassins were just average and not professional killers.
Therefore, their hiding spots were very exposed, and he could easily find and deal with them.
"Co out, Gujin, I see you!"
Just then, Ye Wanghui suddenly shouted from within the courtyard.
Hearing this, Duan Gujin thought it over and decided to step forward, sneering, "Ye Wanghui, I didn't expect you to stoop to such despicable ans as kidnapping to threaten . How shaless!"
"As long as it's successful, what does it matter if the thods are filthy!" replied Ye Wanghui indifferently.
Duan Gujin's eyes twinkled as he saw the longsword in Ye Wanghui's hands resting on the two siblings of the Ye family.
"What do you want to do to let them go?" Duan Gujin exhaled and knew he had to act imdiately.
"I want to know the secret you carry on your person! You were nothing but a waste before. How did you beco so powerful in less than two months? How did you unblock your second Martial ridian and possess an orange Martial Soul? Just tell , and I won't kill them!"
Ye Wanghui demanded loudly.
After listening, Duan Gujin's mind raced.
Initially, he thought Ye Wanghui would use the lives of the Ye family siblings to force him to commit suicide or to use so other thod that would harm him. He did not expect Ye Wanghui to be after his secrets.
His eyes flickered as he said, "I received cultivation from a King of Pills. He imparted to all his lifeti experiences in Alchemy, and I have crafted many extrely rare Elixir Pills. It's with the help of these Elixir Pills that I've managed to raise my cultivation to the current level."
Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, Ye Wanghui and his cousin's breathing beca rapid.
"Can you introduce us to your Master?" asked Ye Wanghui.
Duan Gujin was speechless, thinking to himself, could he have water in his brain?
"My Master has already left this place. I have so of the Elixir Pills he left . As long as you take my Master's Elixir Pills, you will also unblock your second Martial ridian. Look, this is the second Martial ridian that I unblocked after taking the Elixir Pills!"
In order to show them the orange Martial Soul above his head clearly, Duan Gujin released all his strength.
Seeing the orange Martial Soul released above Duan Gujin's head, Ye Wanghui and his cousin were thrilled. They imdiately thought that if they could unblock their second Martial ridian like Duan Gujin, their strength would double, and they would beco young geniuses among the youth of Country Gulai.
"Will your Master return?" Ye Wanghui asked tentatively, fearing that Duan Gujin's Master would co back to trouble them.
"He will. Look, this is the na tag of an Alchemist from Qiankun Country. My Master is a High-level Alchemist from Qiankun Country. He ca to Country Gulai because he was pursued by enemies in Qiankun Country. After his wounds are healed, he will return to Qiankun Country, and he said he would eventually co back."
"Then give us all the Elixir Pills you have on you! As long as you hand over all the Elixir Pills, we will let them go! If you don't give up all the Elixir Pills you have on you, today they will die a miserable death here!" Ye Wanghui threatened.
Upon hearing the threat, Duan Gujin breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as they still wanted to threaten him and get benefits from him, he had a chance to deceive them.
"I haven't kept those Elixir Pills on . I have left them at ho. Why not have soone accompany to fetch them?" proposed Duan Gujin.
"Fine!"
After consulting with his cousin, Ye Wanghui decided to follow Duan Gujin together.
"Don't make any rash moves! If you dare to act rashly, they will die!"
Ye Wanghui threatened again.
