Chapter 162

"What? You are Luo Tian?" Mr. Qu was shocked.

The youth before him was actually the target of his mission this time?

The other party had actually taken the initiative to come to them?

Theoretically, this should have been a good thing.

But at this very moment, Mr. Qu felt incomparable fear.

"Sir, how did you detect us?" Mr. Qu was puzzled.

Luo Tian glanced at him and said, "It's hard not to notice when two strangers in the Return to Ruins Realm enter the city, especially when you spent so long lurking and observing outside the city walls."

"What? You detected us from the very beginning? But how is that possible?" Mr. Qu was shocked.

He had to know that the two of them had tried their best to conceal their auras precisely because they were worried about being discovered.

Yet, the result was all in vain?

Luo Tian spread his hands and said, "I didn't want to notice you either, but my soul power is too strong right now. Although I tried my best to pull it in, it still covered the entire Bianbei City and dozens of miles outside the city."

"What did you say?" Mr. Qu shouted in shock.

Soul power covering Bianbei City and extending dozens of miles out?

Is this something a human can do?

Mr. Qu also knew quite a few soul cultivators; he knew that soul power indeed had the ability to scout.

However, the most powerful soul master he knew could only cover a distance of a dozen meters around himself, and he couldn't maintain it for very long either.

Yet this guy said his soul power covered that far?

He didn't want to believe it, but if he didn't, then how did he detect them?

On the other side, Luo Tian continued, "If the two of you came to my Bianbei City without causing trouble, I wouldn't care, but you just showed killing intent toward my people, and that is not acceptable."

At this point, Luo Tian's face turned cold.

The temperature in the entire restaurant plummeted along with it.

"You..." Mr. Qu's eyes darted around, thinking of a way to escape.

However, Nie Long beside him attacked directly.

"Hmph, I don't believe you're really that strong. Go to hell!" Nie Long roared, his Return to Ruins Realm aura about to erupt.

But the next instant...

Pfft!

Nie Long's head flew straight off.

"Sorry, you're too strong. If I let you make a move here, I'm afraid half of Bianbei City would be destroyed, so I had to kill you instantly," Luo Tian said, shaking his hands.

"You..." Nie Long's head fell to the ground, yet he still couldn't believe this was real.

He had actually been killed in one move?

He hadn't even seen clearly how the other party had attacked!

For a moment, Nie Long was incomparably furious; he thought of countless words to curse Luo Tian, but he couldn't say any of them.

Gradually, his vision began to blur, and his consciousness began to scatter.

But at the very last moment of his fading consciousness, he actually had a strange thought: to be able to die at the hands of such a heaven-defying talent... how refreshing!

He lived up to the name of a freak!

On the other side, seeing his companion dead, Mr. Qu had cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

Naturally cautious, he never thought he would fall so hard this time!

"Young Master Luo Tian, I didn't intend to attack just now. As long as you let me leave, I can guarantee that I will never come to Bianbei City again in this life, and whenever I see you Luo family members, I will proactively give way!" Mr. Qu said.

However, Luo Tian remained unmoved.

Whoosh!

The next instant, Luo Tian teleported behind Mr. Qu.

"I..."

Mr. Qu was stunned; just as he wanted to say something, he realized there was a bloody hole in his chest.

"Regretting it now is too late. Do you think my Bianbei City Luo family is a vegetable market? You come when you want, leave when you want, kill when you want, and when you find you can't kill, you want to retreat unscathed?" Luo Tian said coldly.

Thump.

Mr. Qu's corpse fell to the ground.

Luo Tian looked at the two corpses, then flicked his finger, and the sound transmission talisman in Mr. Qu's robe fell into Luo Tian's hand.

Without a word, he activated the sound transmission talisman.

"Mr. Qu? Did you succeed so quickly? Haha, I told you, although that Luo Tian is strong, under the hands of two Return to Ruins Realm experts like you, he is not worth mentioning!" A voice of an old man came from the other end of the talisman.

Luo Tian gripped the talisman and sneered, "Sorry, I am not any Mr. Qu."

"Hm? Who are you?" the old man on the other side asked in surprise.

"I am Luo Tian. The two assassins from your Ghost Fiend Hall are both dead. Let me give you a reminder: if you want to kill me, you'll have to send stronger people."

After Luo Tian finished speaking, he crushed the sound transmission talisman.

At the same time, thousands of miles away at a Ghost Fiend Hall stronghold, the old man from the Ghost Fiend Hall turned pale.

"How is it possible? Mr. Qu and Nie Long are dead? You must be joking, right? Those were Return to Ruins Realm experts I borrowed from a foreign country. How could they..." The old man was still in disbelief.

Just then, a black shadow suddenly emerged within the stronghold.

"My lord, please immediately have Mr. Qu and Nie Long return. That Luo Tian is not right!" the black shadow said.

"What did you say?" the old man looked at the black shadow and asked.

The black shadow gasped, "I just received intelligence that just a few days ago in the Ziwei Secret Realm, Luo Tian killed Wei Baidao of the Jade Dragon Kingdom with his own hands! He is very likely a Tribulation Crossing Realm expert!"

"What? Tribulation Crossing Realm? Are you kidding me?" The old man was completely stunned.

The black shadow said helplessly, "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, according to the intelligence, this is indeed possible! Let's not talk about this for now; you must have those two return immediately!"

The old man looked at him and smiled bitterly, "Return? It's already too late. They are already dead."

"What?" The black shadow was also shocked.

"Then... my lord, what do we do next? Why don't we cancel the assassination mission? Assassinating someone suspected of being in the Tribulation Crossing Realm is too dangerous!" the black shadow said.

After hearing this, the old man smiled bitterly and said, "If it were yesterday, canceling it wouldn't matter, but now... it's impossible! You have to know, Nie Long doesn't matter, but that Mr. Qu is a disciple of that lord! Do you think that if his disciple is dead, he will just let it go? Not to mention that Luo Tian, I'm afraid even you and I will be implicated!"

The black shadow panicked, "Then what do we do? Conceal the news?"
