Chapter 60: Assassination! The Pursuit!

"Assassins!"

Lu Shuwan was greatly alarmed.

She had never imagined that anyone would actually come to carry out an assassination.

If Chu Feng hadn't happened to pull her aside just now.

She absolutely would not have been able to dodge that arrow.

"Swish!"

A blade's light suddenly appeared.

A masked man in black, holding a sharp blade, charged straight at Chu Feng.

Chu Feng pushed Lu Shuwan away.

Then, with one kick, he knocked away the sharp blade the opponent was attacking with.

"Catch!"

Lu Shuwan hurriedly threw Chu Feng's battle saber to him.

Chu Feng immediately drew the saber into his hand and stood in a standoff with the man in black.

"Innate Great Perfection!"

Chu Feng smiled slightly, "What a grand gesture. Who sent you to assassinate me?"

"Hmph, a dying man has no need to ask!"

The man in black couldn't be bothered to respond.

Holding his sharp blade, he launched an attack on Chu Feng once again.

The mission he had received was very simple, and that was to take Chu Feng's head.

"Not talking? Then I'll beat you until you do!"

Sending an Innate Great Perfection expert to kill him—this person really looked down on him too much.

The two clashed again.

Chu Feng took the upper hand with a single move.

With his current strength, he could even go head-to-head with a Grandmaster.

A mere Innate Great Perfection posed no threat to him at all.

"Ah!"

The man in black let out a startled cry as his entire body flew backward and slammed into the wall.

This strike from Chu Feng was extremely destructive.

Such immense power made him feel as if he had been crushed by a giant boulder.

"How is this possible?"

"He only has the cultivation of the Innate Late Stage, why does he have such formidable strength!"

A stormy sea surged in the heart of the man in black.

A single strike was enough to put him in a tight spot; just how formidable was this person's strength?

He had no time to think in the present moment.

He immediately pulled a throwing dart from his robe and threw it toward Lu Shuwan.

"Ding, ding, ding..."

Chu Feng immediately flashed in front of Lu Shuwan, knocking down every single dart.

The man in black immediately took advantage of this opportunity to flee.

"Damn it, let that guy get away!"

Lu Shuwan was furious.

To think someone dared to come and assassinate a court official; they were truly tired of living.

"I'm going to chase him. You are responsible for things here. Tell Zhu Kang to find the best blacksmith immediately and spare no cost to forge Heavy Armor."

"Yes, General!"

After giving his instructions, Chu Feng immediately gave chase.

Daring to assassinate me—today I must tear down your nest.

Watching Chu Feng disappear into the dark night.

Lu Shuwan's eyes were filled with worry.

"You must be careful!"

Afterward, Lu Shuwan immediately went to find Xiang Yuan and Qiu Ming.

Since an assassination attempt had just occurred, the military camp had to be put on alert.

For a time.

The entire military camp was filled with a tense atmosphere.

At the same time, Lu Shuwan also mobilized a group of troops to go and guard the distillery.

The distillery was Chu Feng's lifeblood and also their important reliance for resisting the Turkic.

Therefore, it absolutely could not be allowed to fail.

Meanwhile.

Over at Wangyue Pavilion, some different situations were also quietly unfolding.

"What fine wine!"

"I truly am reluctant to leave this human world!"

Ziran sat quietly in his room, savoring the Spirit Plum Wine.

This wine truly intoxicated her.

Although she had been in the human world for quite some time, she had tasted many fine wines before.

But compared to the fine wine provided by Chu Feng, those were as different as clouds and mud.

"Boom!"

Ziran immediately flashed and disappeared from where she stood.

It could be seen that the place where she had originally been had turned into a mess.

"Fox demon, I've finally found you!"

The person who spoke was wearing black clothes and a helmet.

He held a bright silver spear tightly in his hand.

His cultivation was at the Innate Great Perfection realm.

Besides him.

Thirteen people at the Innate Initial Stage surrounded her from all directions.

They encircled Ziran completely.

"Hehe, you lot from the Demon Slayer Division really have noses like dogs; I was so careful, yet you still managed to find me!"

Ziran unhurriedly drank the wine in her cup in one gulp.

It would not be easy to drink such good wine again in the future.

The Demon Slayer Division.

The most mysterious and independent special agency in Wei.

They only obeyed the Emperor's orders.

They selected various elite personnel to form teams.

They engaged in special missions to slay demons and eliminate devils.

"Fox demon, you blood-sacrificed multiple counties, causing tens of thousands of commoners to die; today, I must take you down!"

"Hmph, Han Geng, whether you can take me down is not for you to decide!"

"Then let's try!"

The bright silver spear in Han Geng's hand shook violently.

A move, "Spirit Snake Exits the Cave," went straight for Ziran.

Ziran waved her hand lightly.

A purple barrier instantly blocked Han Geng's surprise attack.

"Form up!"

The thirteen Demon Slayer Division members at the Innate Initial Stage moved quickly to their respective positions.

A power no less than Han Geng's suddenly generated.

It went straight for Ziran.

This formation was created by the predecessors of the Demon Slayer Division.

It could gather thirteen people of equal strength to erupt with terrifying power far exceeding their own.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

The violent explosion resounded throughout the entire Anwu County.

All the Anwu County residents who had already fallen asleep were startled awake at this moment.

"What happened?"

Everyone immediately looked in the direction the sound came from.

They saw that the Wangyue Pavilion, which surrounded the center of the explosion, had actually had its roof blown off.

"Ah!!!"

"My Wangyue Pavilion!"

The madam watched as the Wangyue Pavilion she had painstakingly managed had its roof blown off.

For a moment, she cried until she was a tear-stained mess.

"Hmph, let's go somewhere else to fight!"

"I couldn't ask for more!"

The few of them immediately left Wangyue Pavilion and headed straight out of the city.

The reason Ziran wanted to go outside to fight was because there was an even more powerful existence within Anwu County.

If she accidentally lured that person over, the situation would be dire.

At this time, it was still snowing heavily outside the city.

Han Geng led his thirteen subordinates to engage in an earth-shattering battle with Ziran once again.

For a time.

The entire area looked like a battlefield swarming with soldiers and horses.

The two sides fought fiercely.

The scene shifted.

After Chu Feng left Anwu County, he followed the other party all the way to their lair.

He had been holding back his strength during the previous battle.

Otherwise.

The other party would not have been able to withstand a single strike from him.

The poor assassin had no idea that someone was following behind him.

Because he was extremely confident in his own ability to escape.

He had to hurry and report this news to his headquarters.

The person they had taken on was far stronger than they had expected.

Before long.

Liu Wei had already arrived at their headquarters.

After seeing that there was no one around, Liu Wei immediately walked inside.

"Oh? So this is your lair?"

Chu Feng looked up and took a glance.

This place was located in a remote area, and it would be hard for ordinary people to imagine that anyone would gather here.

After looking around, Chu Feng immediately followed him inside.

"Yo, Old Liu, back so soon! Did you complete the mission?"

"Don't even mention it, I almost didn't make it back!"

"What?"

The crowd was stunned for a moment upon hearing Liu Wei's words.

The man in the lead also sensed something was wrong and immediately asked, "What exactly happened?"

"Big Brother, those bastards lied to us; the other party's strength is not at all at the Innate Late Stage, I only traded one blow with him and I was defeated!"

Once these words were spoken.

Everyone present gasped in shock.

There was no need to even mention Liu Wei's level.

He had never made a mistake on a mission.

The number of experts who had died at his hands was countless.

Yet today, he actually said he had almost been finished off by someone else.

"You're joking, right, Old Liu? You, of all people, actually slipped up?"

"Exactly, your strength is the most formidable existence aside from the Boss; could it be that the other party is a Grandmaster?"

Liu Wei replied.

"I don't know either; on the surface, he is indeed at the Innate Late Stage, but his strength far exceeds that realm!"

Although it was embarrassing to say, a defeat was a defeat.

This was an ironclad fact.

"Damn it, those sons of bitches actually dared to deceive our Scorpion Tower!"

Dong Hou was furious.

He had thought they could make a profit, but who knew they would almost lose a brother.

This matter was absolutely not over.

"Big Brother, I'm afraid only you can take him out personally!"

"I know!"

A fierce glint appeared in the corners of Dong Hou's eyes, "He won't live past tomorrow!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

An abrupt voice suddenly rang out.
