Chapter 132: Ambush Midway!
Blood Shadow Envoy thought this trip would be an easy one.
First of all, the guild leader of Qingfeng Baoxing is a smart man. He knew to send his own assassins to secretly follow the two women so that he wouldn't be unable to find them.
Having their general whereabouts makes it very easy to find them.
It was found in just a few hours.
And the only person he had to deal with was a female sword cultivator at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage!
Although the other young girl in the Core Formation stage was the target, the Blood Shadow Envoy had already ignored her. Without anyone to protect her, he could scare her to death with just a glare.
I originally thought I'd be fighting against many. But now... where are the many? There aren't even any Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
Just kill them casually.
That move I just made probably cleaved that Nascent Soul stage female sword cultivator in two, sword and all...
"Ok?"
Blood Shadow Envoy sensed something was wrong.
It seems it wasn't split in two?
She actually managed to pull it off?
Blood Shadow sensed the atmosphere in the forest below and found it to be true. Moreover, the other party did not seem to have suffered serious injuries.
Amazing!
It's rare to encounter someone so much weaker than him who can still take a hit from him without sustaining any serious injury.
Assassins never take on jobs they are certain to fail at, but for them, assassinating targets weaker than themselves is unchallenging and boring. Killing a tiger is certainly more pleasurable than crushing an ant.
It looks like I'll have some fun today.
This hunt can be more interesting.
No matter how much they struggle, they're only at the Nascent Soul stage and the Core Formation stage.
Meanwhile, after Bai Feier and Qin Yiyao landed in the forest, they immediately steadied themselves and stood side by side, looking at the blood-red figure slowly descending from the sky with solemn expressions.
Bai Feier clutched her chest and whispered, "We're in trouble."
She had no external injuries, except that her black robe was torn, so she simply ripped it off.
The opponent came on strong, and his attack was a killing blow. It was fast and ruthless, and his figure was just a blurry blood shadow that swept through the air.
But Bai Feier eventually realized what was happening. She drew her sword and fought back. Although she didn't completely block the attack, she was wielding a Saint-grade sword and wearing Earth-grade soft armor. Although she was at a disadvantage, she wasn't seriously injured.
But there's an even more serious problem.
That guy's Dao power is poisonous!
She was already poisoned after exchanging only one move with him!
Bai Feier felt the flow of Dao energy within her body slowing down.
It was only because of the Frost Dragon Armor of Earth grade that the poison's effects were slowing down. Without this armor, he would probably be paralyzed in no time and at the mercy of others.
"Is it an assassin?"
Qin Yiyao drew her sword and stared intently at the blood-clad man shrouded in blood mist who descended from the sky and stopped twenty paces away.
This sudden appearance was a deadly blow to them; in any case, the visitor was not friendly.
However, Qin Yiyao could feel an unprecedented pressure from the blood-stained man!
This is actually an assassin in the Out-of-Body stage!
Judging from the scarlet blood aura surrounding him, one can tell that this guy is extremely difficult to deal with.
Even though her combat power is far beyond the Core Formation stage, it would still be quite costly for the two of them to take down this assassin!
"They're assassins from the Blood Shadow Tower!"
Bai Feier stood with her sword attire, dressed in blood red—the attire of a Blood Shadow Envoy. She had certainly heard of the infamous Blood Shadow Tower, but she never expected to be targeted by these assassins today!
Is the Blood Shadow Tower going to kill her, or to kill Qin Yiyao?
But why?
Who wants to buy their lives?
"Oh? How interesting." The Blood Shadow Envoy also realized why Bai Feier was able to withstand his killing move.
The female swordsman's armor and soft sword both appeared to be high-grade magical weapons, at least at the Xuan-grade level.
The Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop is indeed willing to provide such high-quality items to its own "experts".
However, he didn't seem to care.
Ultimately, this is nothing more than the Nascent Soul stage.
Unless this little vixen is wearing some kind of earth-grade armor and using a heaven-grade sword, he can kill her without any difficulty!
Not to mention, she had already been poisoned by her own "blood poison".
"Who paid you to come here and risk your lives?! Your Blood Shadow Pavilion has offended someone you can't afford to mess with!"
Bai Feier shouted sharply, her wrist twitching as the tip of her sword pointed directly at the Blood Shadow Envoy.
"This is business. I do not know you two and have no ill intentions toward you." Blood Shadow Envoy approached slowly and unhurriedly. With each step he took, the grass and leaves around him withered and rotted upon touching the blood mist swirling around him, instantly decaying.
"However, you'd better hold out a little longer, because it's been a long time since I've properly tortured someone who amused me."
He wanted to see what surprises these two women could give him.
And if he kills someone, wouldn't all these treasures be his?
Killing two birds with one stone!
“These Blood Shadow Envoys are all at least at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage. They have taken the job of killing people, so they will definitely kill us. Only if we join forces can we get out of this situation.”
Bai Feier took a deep breath.
Qin Yiyao understood this as well.
The assassin came prepared.
To have any chance of survival, they had to give it their all, or even more! The next moment, she and Bai Feier simultaneously raised their swords and charged!
Suddenly, a chilling sword light filled the forest, like a chaotic storm. They attacked with all their might, leaving no room for retreat!
The Blood Shadow Envoy calmly watched them attack. The bloody aura surged, so thick it was impossible to dispel. He spread his palms out, fingers pointing upwards, and with a gentle flick, blood shadow blades swept across the sky!
"Qiang——!"
The forces of Tao collided, sparks flew everywhere!
The enormous impact caused the surrounding trees to sway precariously.
Two figures were sent flying backward during the clash.
……
Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop.
Feng Wuxin looked at the month's revenue figures and nodded in satisfaction. This Golden Spirit Liquid was indeed incredibly profitable; in just one month, the Baoxing's revenue had increased by forty percent!
If this continues, in another two months, Qingfeng Baoxing will be unable to withstand their full-scale attack. In the end, the Qingfeng Baoxing branch in Yunling City will be completely taken over by her in a sorry state!
Moreover, what they've been selling this past week has actually been the Golden Spirit Liquid provided by that Senior Gu.
After all, a master is more powerful than his disciple.
Because the concentrated golden spirit liquid he brought was of better quality. After all, for such a top-notch alchemy master, refining such low-level healing medicine was just a piece of cake.
Just as Feng Wuxin was feeling satisfied with the prospects.
Aunt Yuan came in.
"Miss, our spies received news that two assassins from the Blood Shadow Pavilion seem to have come all the way from the capital of Kuyun Prefecture and entered the city today." Feng Wuxin frowned.
The Blood Shadow Tower assassins have actually come to Cloud Spirit City?
Whom did they meet?
"I went to Qingfeng Baoxing."
After saying that, Feng Wuxin became even more certain of her thoughts.
It seems that Shang Xiong hasn't given up yet. He couldn't handle the situation with his own assassins, so now he's willing to spend a lot of money to hire the infamous Blood Shadow Tower to do the job...
But who is it aimed at?
