Chapter 169: Even a God Wouldn't Be Spared

Boom boom boom boom~

The ground was blown to pieces.

Ah...

A miserable cry rang out.

The assassin hidden underground hadn't suffered yet, but the first Fusang assassin couldn't hold out and was pierced through by Lu Xun's flying sword.

Message inside~ (Go die)

The Fusang assassin went all out, scattering a large number of beads.

Baka! (Idiot)

The second Fusang assassin, seeing the situation turn bad, changed expression and was about to flee.

But he suddenly realized that, though he had clearly rushed forward a great distance, he had actually ended up back where he started.

Boom boom boom boom boom~

Around Lu Xun, the beads scattered by the assassin exploded violently.

Faced with such an explosion, Lu Xun didn't even frown; instead, he fiercely swung his sword.

Violent sword qi surged toward the ground; with the support of entry-level sword intent, the granite-paved ground became as fragile as tofu, and Lu Xun's sword qi cut into it.

There, the assassin hiding a few meters underground hadn't even reacted before being sliced apart by the sword qi.

This guy must have learned the earth-escape technique.

Lu Xun's fireball just now hadn't managed to kill him, because this guy was frantically burrowing underground.

But after the fireball bombardment, his position was exposed to Lu Xun's perception.

Lu Xun, while withstanding the first Fusang assassin's killing move, also needed to finish him off.

Otherwise, being stared at by an assassin who knows earth-escape would be rather unpleasant.

Only a thousand miles for thieves, but not a thousand miles for guarding against thieves.

Even if Lu Xun isn't afraid, what if these assassins attack Chu Youqing and the others?

The Fusang assassins are too professional.

For the sake of killing, there's nothing they won't do.

Their reputation is too good.

So, Lu Xun won't leave a single survivor.

A yi cu mo—wu wa li da ze! (He's done for)

At the same time Lu Xun killed the underground assassin, outside rose the cheer of the first Fusang assassin.

This guy thought Lu Xun had been killed by the thunderbolt fire he released.

That thunderbolt fire was his assassin's mace.

With so much thunderbolt fire, even if Lu Xun had a fifth-grade defensive talisman in his hand, he could hardly escape disaster.

Masaka...? (How could it be?)

But immediately, this Fusang assassin was dumbfounded.

When the firelight faded, Lu Xun actually remained unharmed.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Several flying swords pierced him again, even cutting off his hands and feet.

Thus this Fusang assassin completely lost his combat ability.

Want to escape?

The assassin who could achieve invisibility through light refraction tried to flee.

This guy had earlier been briefly trapped by Lu Xun's spatial magic, yet in the thunderbolt fire's explosion he surprisingly wasn't injured, apparently also having used a trump card.

As for Lu Xun, he relied on the seventh-grade treasure robe on his person.

Just as he gave chase, suddenly Lu Xun sensed something and his left hand lashed out.

Clang!

A slender, invisible snake sword was knocked away by Lu Xun.

Immediately after, Lu Xun's sword qi and flying sword struck out together.

The invisible assassin couldn't hold out long before being defeated and revealing his form.

This guy was actually quite young, looking about twenty years old.

His appearance was that of a standard Fusang person; although he was somewhat handsome, his sneaky vibe was strong, always giving a petty, sordid feeling, lacking the openness of Easterners.

Mo—wu wa li da ze ao ma e~ (You're dead)

After being heavily wounded by Lu Xun, this assassin unexpectedly showed a victor's smile on his face.

Sure to die?

Lu Xun swung his long sword and cut off one of his arms.

To deal with these three guys, he didn't even need to use a holy weapon.

A ta li ma e da yo? (Of course)

The assassin could also understand Lu Xun's words, but his reply was in Fusang language.

Poison?

At this moment, Lu Xun suddenly felt dizzy.

Only then did he realize something was wrong.

He had been poisoned!

In the air, some toxin had permeated at some unknown time.

What poison is this!

Lu Xun went "swish-swish" with his two swords, cutting off the assassin's other hand and foot completely.

This poison is too strong; he had opened his nasal apertures, yet earlier he couldn't even smell it.

From now on, you will gradually become weak, then your whole body will be in pain, as if being cut by a thousand knives....

The assassin spoke in Hibiscus language, happily.

These guys, as expected, are assassins who have trained in Ninja Technique.

His hands and feet were cut off by Lu Xun, yet he didn't even make a grunt.

He is a werewolf.

Where is the antidote?

Lu Xun searched them, but found nothing.

Do you think we would carry the antidote on us?

The assassin who could turn invisible sneered.

Indeed, not on them.

Release our young master, and I'll tell you the antidote.

Suddenly, the first assassin said.

This is the assassin hiding in the tree.

Young master?

Lu Xun looked at the assassin who could turn invisible.

This guy, judging by his status in Hibiscus, is likely a descendant of some great family.

Wu Jie, don't demand of him!

The young master's bones are very hard.

Our young master is the young master of the He Yue Clan; he came this time to complete his coming-of-age ceremony. If you kill him, the He Yue Clan will be your eternal enemy... If you release him, I can tell you the antidote.

Wu Jie, however, began to state his conditions to Lu Xun.

He Yue Clan?

The He Yue Clan is the most famous top ninja family among the Four Kingdoms; our clan chief has even succeeded in assassinating someone in the Six Realms. If you don't want to invite such big trouble, you'd better release our young master; otherwise... young master...

Wu Jie had only spoken halfway when he cried out, because Lu Xun had sliced off one of their young master's ears.

Sorry, I don't accept threats; first tell me the antidote, then I'll decide whether to release you.

Lu Xun said lightly.

Even if you release me, since I took this task for my coming-of-age ceremony, I will still be your eternal enemy; if I can't kill you, I will kill everyone around you, creating a demonic obstacle in your Dao heart...

The young master, heedless of the blood covering his body, fixed his gaze on Lu Xun and spoke these icy words.

Lu Xun didn't give him a chance to finish speaking.

With a motion of his long sword, he severed the young master of the He Yue Clan's head.

Whoever threatens him like this, even if a god came, Lu Xun would still kill without mistake!

You, you actually killed the young master; you're done, you won't get the antidote from me, and the He Yue Clan won't let you off...

Wu Jie, after saying that, actually tried to bite his tongue to commit suicide.

But he didn't succeed.

Lu Xun stopped him.

Then, in Wu Jie's shocked gaze, Lu Xun's complexion improved at an astonishing speed, with no trace of poison left on his body.

Poison? Is it that powerful?

Lu Xun said lightly.

How is that possible? This is the Cicada Sigh, ranked top three in the Ninja World; how could you be unharmed? Impossible, impossible....

Wu Jie couldn't believe it, repeatedly shouting 'impossible'.

Nothing is impossible; you think it's impossible only because your experience is too limited; now, you may leave.

Lu Xun raised his hand, a fireball shot out, blowing Wu Jie to pieces.

As for his belongings, Lu Xun had already searched them away.

These three guys still carried a lot of Dark Energy, especially the He Yue Clan's young master, whose spatial pouch contained several dozen cubic units of Dark Energy.

So rich, yet they came to be assassins.

From what he said, it seems to be for the coming-of-age ceremony?

Complete a high-difficulty assassination, and then you become an adult?

But this guy chose the wrong target.

Having chosen Lu Xun, who else would die if not him?

As for that He Yue Clan, Lu Xun isn't worried.

Kill them, and that's it.

This young master dares to threaten to kill those around him; if we don't kill him, aren't we just letting the tiger return to the mountain?

Block the soldiers, flood the water.

Moreover, Lu Xun can make use of this matter.

With the East now so strong, how could Hibiscus try to pull a scam?

These Hibiscus people are really asking for death, daring to come to the capital to assassinate our genius!

Half an hour later, the voice of Xu Commander of Martial Manor rang out from Qingbei Jie.

Xu Commander, this matter cannot just be left like that.

Fei Tai'a spoke.

Today's Fei Tai'a made Lu Xun somewhat unaccustomed.

Because he shaved his beard, the wine gourd was gone as well, and his entire appearance became quite normal.

Such a Fei Tai'a actually gave off a somewhat handsome uncle vibe.

This made Lu Xun wonder whether Fei Tai'a had completely turned over a new leaf.

If so, that would be a good thing.

Now Lu Xun no longer worries about Fei Tai'a giving him extra lessons.

Beside him, Fu Xue was also there.

After Fei Tai'a spoke, although she didn't speak, the chill on her body decreased by several degrees.

"Of course I won't let it go like that; I will now issue a kill order against the He Yue clan—any Eastern cultivator may see the He Yue clan and kill them!"

Commander Xu's face was full of killing intent.

Toward the Fusang people, Easterners never show mercy.

In fact,

If it weren't for the awakening of the heavenly way, worrying that mass slaughter would invite heavenly punishment, the very existence of present-day Fusang would be a question.

Some demonic cultivators among humanity, after conducting blood sacrifices on cities with tens of thousands, even tens of millions of people, often choose to ally with the demon race, precisely because they fear heavenly punishment.

Lan Xing's heavenly way is of the motherly type.

This makes cultivators dare not massacre ordinary people on a large scale, even if they are ordinary people of other countries.

But,

However, at the nodes of the Starry Sky Ancient Road, they are not restricted.

Among the ancient road nodes, the Fusang people suffer the most.

Their enemies include not only foreign peoples and starry sky alien species, but also Easterners.

The people of Goryeo and Bangzi Country likewise hate them, and will strike a deadly blow at the Fusang people at any opportunity.

Thus, the Fusang people's Chinese is spoken so well it's needless to say, and pretending to be Easterners at the ancient road nodes is something they excel at.

This matter came to an end with the Martial Manor's kill order.

With this kill order, the He Yue clan will not have an easy time.

As for the He clan.

Lu Xun prepares to settle it himself.
