Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“With my current strength, I might not necessarily be able to kill mid-stage True Energy Realm warriors. But assassinating them is not impossible either.” Ye Mo had found out from Black Impermanence that the two deputy chiefs were mid-tier True Energy Realm warriors. Moreover, they were powerhouses that had broken through with their own strength and were reasonably powerful.
After leaving the building, Ye Mo directly flew towards the residences of the two deputy chiefs. He had found out the locations from Black Impermanence was well. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Ye Mo jumped from one roof to another. He moved speedily, like a black breeze coursing through the air.
Shortly after, Ye Mo could see a rather imposing residence standing tall. Although this residence wasn’t exactly located within the valley itself, it was extrely luxurious. Ye Mo leapt straight to the top of the building. Imdiately, he could sense a powerful aura within the building. This was evidently one of the deputy chiefs.
“Let sever both his right and left arms before the One Ard Butcher returns. That way, the power at his command will have completely collapsed by the ti he returns.” Ye Mo silently landed on the ground beside the residence and carefully looked for the exact location of the deputy chief. There were many bandits patrolling around the residence, but Ye Mo ignored them all and flickered about everywhere amid the dark night as he started his search.
Next, Ye Mo stopped outside a certain wing of the residence. Within the wing, a warrior with a crimson cloak was seated cross-legged in ditation. In front of him were nurous corpses with their heads plucked from their bodies. Layers of bloody whirlpools ford around his hands as the spiritual energy of the world around poured inside him unceasingly.
This deputy chief that cultivated a blood cultivation thod was even more sinister than Xue Xiu. His cultivation thod was one that required him to devour human blood. It was incomparably sinister. Ye Mo slowly sat down while the Will of the Chu Killing Spear started welling up within him with his killing intent surfacing. His killing intent kept growing and intensifying without stop. This was the first ti Ye Mo had tried assassinating a mid-stage True Energy Realm warrior. Although he was confident he could battle this person even without assassination, it would be troubleso if their battle attracted the other deputy chief.
Yao Yue’s dao of assassination is one that involves feign, concealnt, one that kills when the target has completely let go of his guard. As for my style of assassination, it is true assassination which is done noiselessly, one where my entire being is focused into the act to unleash an explosive attack that can kill with a single hit. Ye Mo thought as his expression turned solemn.
As of this mont, Ye Mo’s heart started purifying again. The Heart Minion within his heart beca excited as his killing intent converged onto the Heart Minion. This was the act of mixing his killing intent into his cultivation heart. The purification of his heart signified that the Ye Mo Will of Killing had increased again. Ye Mo could feel that his killing intent had never surged like this before.
With a whoosh! The Heart Minion stabbed forth. Simultaneously, Ye Mo vanished from where he stood, pierced through the wall, and pierced straight inside the wing. This attack did not create any sound even when he pierced through the wall. It was incomparably powerful and sharp. The next instant, Ye Mo’s spear images had already surrounded the deputy chief. One could say that this assassination was conducted to perfection.
However, the deputy chief was still able to react to it. Astonishnt was on his face as he was at a loss as to what to do. The only thing he could do for now was to react reflexively, forming his blood armor. Unfortunately, his blood armor was unable to take full form before it was imdiately defeated. Ye Mo’s Dragon Spear pierced into the deputy chief’s body. No energy fluctuation was created. Just like that, the mid-stage True Energy Realm deputy chief was silently assassinated. Even in death, he had no idea how an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warrior could release such a powerful attack.
After the successful assassination, no joy could be seen on Ye Mo’s face. After taking the deputy chief’s dinsional bracelet, he vanished where he stood. The current Ye Mo had transford into an assassin of the night.
“One more deputy chief to go,” Ye Mo said as he landed on top the chief’s residence. “Even if I can’t defeat the other deputy chief, I will be able to easily escape. I might as well check the chief’s residence first to see if there are any treasures.” Then, Ye Mo sneaked into the chief’s residence. It was now late at night. Only a few rooms were still brightly lit. Ye Mo captured a random bandit and interrogated him to find the One Ard Butcher’s cultivation room. The room was locked behind a large steel door.
“Well, this leaves no choice. I have to break in with brute force. Since this is the One Ard Butcher’s cultivation room, his treasures must be stored inside as well.”
Bang!
Three thousand streams of Bright Dragon Power erupted as Ye Mo punched out with his fist. The steel door imdiately caved in from this single punch.
Bang!
He punched out again, imdiately creating a hole in the door. The loud noise had definitely shocked everyone there, including the deputy chief.
Ye Mo unleashed his Bright Dragon Clone and had the clone guard the entrance while he entered the room. He first tossed a coin into the room to confirm that there was no trap. He nodded and was about to step in when he noticed sothing.
“Damn it! It’s a trap!” Ling’er’s expression shifted.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Swishing sounds reverberated in the air as nurous purple energy swords shot straight at Ye Mo.
“Damn it!” All his retreats were blocked by the nurous swords. Ye Mo imdiately ford his Bright Dragon Armor.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
The energy swords were incredibly sharp, seemingly capable of penetrating anything. Instantly, Ye Mo’s Bright Dragon Armor was destroyed.
Bang!
His arms, his abdon, his shoulders, his thighs, his entire body was pierced through, leaving him lying on the ground. Blood poured out without stop as nurous pieces of at were slashed off his body. The strength of these energy swords had probably reached the late-stage True Energy Realm.
“Brother Ye Mo, this cultivation room is not simple. If I guessed correctly, the traps here will only activate when they detect energy fluctuation. Fortunately, you have already fused with the Glorious Sun Power. As such, these tiny injuries will easily heal.” Lying on the ground, Ye Mo had a bitter smile as he sized up his injured body. This ti, he had been too careless.
“How brazen of you to assassinate Deputy Chief Xue! Today, you shall perish here!” a shout thundered, arriving like a montous blade that caused the corridor to start collapsing.
This strength was as heavy as the mountain and as wide as the ocean. Evidently, the owner of this voice had reached mid-stage True Energy Realm. An old man with white hair shot towards Ye Mo from the distance and stopped outside the room. Looking at Ye Mo lying on the ground, a cruel smile ford on his face.
“Hmph. You overestimated your abilities. Even I would fall for the trap set by the chief. It is quite surprising that you are still alive. But this is where it ends for you,” he said and slapped forth, intending to end Ye Mo’s life.
“There’s soone else?”
The old man suddenly noticed sothing and turned around to see an energy clone attacking him with a spear.
“Only a clone,” said the old man with disdain. He slapped towards the clone as well.
