Chapter 1458: You Call This an Assassination?

Yun Xiantai had no intention of retreating; the two brothers Dongfang Hong and Dongfang Huang felt as if they had bitten a dog.

This perfectly good plan, how did it end up like this?

Before the two brothers could think much longer, they saw that at the gap in the formation, many demons had already rushed over.

Seeing this, Yun Xiantai didn't waste words, directly crossed the formation and went into battle with those demons.

Seeing that Yun Xiantai's side was already engaged, Dongfang Huang glanced at Dongfang Hong and said helplessly.

"Old Three, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do? Go for it."

It's totally impossible to just abandon Yun Xiantai here by himself, right?

Things have come to this; we can only grit our teeth and press on.

The two brothers also rushed into the city and joined the fight.

Facing three Emperor Sovereign Realm experts, the surrounding demons basically had no power to resist.

Although the demons of this third level are not low in cultivation, it's clear they were carefully selected.

But before Emperor Sovereign Realm experts, the cultivation gap is an uncrossable chasm; relying solely on cultivation, the three of Yun Xiantai are enough to suppress these demons so they have no spirit left.

With just a casual strike, a large swath of demons is wiped out; at this point, Yun Xiantai's trio naturally has no time to worry about materials.

Right now, obtaining the Demon Essence Fruit is the real business; everything else can be set aside.

Just as the three were frenziedly slaughtering those demons, the Great Emperor Perfection demon guarding the third level also rushed over.

By his side, the Yongye Assassin, after disguise, had been following him all along.

Her face was a little grim; she had made all preparations and was about to act, when suddenly a brute rushed out and launched a direct assault, throwing her original plan into chaos.

Full of resentment, he wanted to see just who had ruined her big affair.

But just as that Yongye Assassin followed the demon great emperor onto the battlefield, upon seeing the three of Yun Xiantai, he was instantly dumbfounded.

How could it be them?

But after a moment's thought, it's not strange; besides Yun Xiantai's group, who else could pull off such an outrageous act?

They had no plan at all, simply choosing a frontal assault, which totally fits their style.

But is this really okay?

The corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, and upon seeing Yun Xiantai's trio, that demon great emperor's face also changed dramatically.

Immediately, he intended to contact the demon emperor.

Three Emperor Sovereign Realm experts are far beyond what their third level can handle; even if it intervened, it would just be going up to serve as a side dish.

They probably couldn't even withstand three moves.

Without hesitation, he sought support, but the next second, the Yongye Assassin behind him suddenly erupted with no warning, a sharp dagger stabbing directly into its back.

He had no preparation at all, after all, in the demon great emperor's view, the one behind him was his trusted aide, so naturally no guard was needed.

He never imagined that his true confidant had long been replaced by the Yongye Assassin.

The dagger pierced straight through its heart, and violent spiritual power instantly erupted inside its body.

However, being a Great Emperor Perfection cultivator, that demon great emperor did not die on the spot.

Instead, he erupted violently, forcing back the Yongye Assassin.

Looking at that familiar face, the demon great emperor's eyes turned icy, and he shouted with hatred surging to the heavens.

"Who are you?"

Only now did it realize that the person standing before it was no longer its trusted subordinate.

It must have been replaced long ago, and had been lurking by its side all along; laughably, it noticed nothing at all.

His eyes were practically spitting fire, but the next second the demon great emperor felt something was off.

His eyes widened, he glared fixedly at the Yongye Assassin and said.

"Is there poison on the dagger?"

"Not too stupid."

Using poison is a required course for assassins; after all, a method that can silently kill someone without gods or ghosts knowing is something any competent assassin would learn.

But against an Emperor-level existence, ordinary poison is clearly useless.

However, Yongye, as a powerful organization spread throughout the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, naturally does not lack various high-grade poisons.

Not to mention a Great Emperor, even an Emperor Sovereign would fall victim if slightly careless.

Even if they didn't die, they'd fare no better.

And the poison in this demon great emperor right now is one of the top-tier poisons of Yongye.

The poison is extremely potent, enough to endanger the life of a Great Emperor expert; of course, its price is also outrageously high.

Moreover, it cannot be bought anywhere outside; Yongye would not be so foolish as to put this grade of poison on sale.

He only felt his demonic power's flow instantly blocked, and as time passed, in just over ten breaths his demonic power seemed to vanish completely, leaving him unable to sense anything.

At the same time came a feeling of suffocation and dizziness, and this demon great emperor grew somewhat panicked.

He could clearly feel his vitality rapidly draining away, which for him was certainly not good news.

The aura of death came rushing over.

He tried every means to suppress the poison's spread, but without exception they all failed.

Finally, in unwillingness, that demon great emperor fiercely collapsed toward the ground below.

Even if he still held a breath at this point, he was essentially inhaling more than exhaling, and would not live long.

One strike took his life, giving him no chance.

Having dealt with that demon great emperor, the Yongye Assassin looked toward the battle, which was basically already ending.

Three Emperor Sovereign Realm experts, with no restrictions, possess terrifying killing power.

These demons on the third level basically posed no threat.

But this Yongye assassin was now somewhat speechless; the good situation had been turned into this.

Now it's great—such a big commotion, and the Black Demon Swamp not far off actually has a Demon Emperor stationed there.

It's impossible not to notice the changes here in the third level; how could one still sneak in?

Not long after, the battle ended, and the three from Yun Xiantai looked at this Yongye assassin.

At this moment she was dressed as a demon, and Yun Xiantai asked doubtfully.

"Yongye's?"

Just now he personally saw this Yongye assassin slay the third level's demon great emperor, so he guessed the other's identity was a person from Yongye.

In response, this Yongye assassin did not hide it, but simply nodded and admitted.

Seeing this, Yun Xiantai didn't say more, but simply the assassin couldn't help asking.

"Senior, are you forcefully attacking the third level?"

"No, our plan is assassination."

Yun Xiantai also couldn't help speaking, but upon hearing the answer, this Yongye assassin was dumbfounded.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, this Yongye assassin somewhat doubted life—is this assassination? You call this assassination?

How is this different from what I learned? After being a killer for so many years, I've never seen such an assassination.

If this is also assassination, isn't it a bit too reckless? No, this is already reckless without bounds.
