Chapter 96: Assassinated Again

"Killing intent!"

Swish!

A person in black suddenly appeared, holding a sharp blade and heading straight for his throat.

"Damn it!"

Chu Feng dodged to the side, avoiding the blade in the opponent's hand.

And the opponent was indeed a formidable veteran.

Failing the first strike, she changed her move instantly.

She aimed straight for Chu Feng's vital parts at a very tricky angle.

Clang!

This move hit the mark on the spot, just as she had wished.

It was just a pity that there was no expression of excitement on her face.

Because her weapon had not broken through Chu Feng's defense at all.

"How is this possible?"

Hu Sha was greatly shocked.

One must know that she was a top-tier assassin at the Grandmaster Consummation Realm.

Such a strike, let alone a Grandmaster, would not be easy for even a Martial Venerable to endure.

Who would have thought that today, her full-force strike would fail to finish off the Chu Feng before her.

"Hmph, with just this bit of skill, you still want to assassinate me!"

"Ha!"

Chu Feng stomped his foot violently.

A massive aura burst forth, instantly blasting Hu Sha away.

"Ah!"

Hu Sha let out a miserable shriek.

Her whole body felt extremely uncomfortable, as if it had been struck by a giant hammer.

"Didn't the intelligence say the target was at the Grandmaster Mid-Stage cultivation? Is this really the strength a Grandmaster Mid-Stage can display?"

A stormy sea surged in Hu Sha's heart.

The opponent's strength had clearly surpassed her imagination.

Merely the release of his aura had already severely wounded her.

Initially, when the Netherworld Society sent her to assassinate him, she thought the organization had definitely overestimated Chu Feng.

But after truly encountering him, she discovered that Chu Feng's strength was actually this monstrous.

Not only could he ignore attacks from the Grandmaster Consummation Realm, but his power was also terrifyingly strong.

With this kind of strength, if a Martial Venerable did not step in, it would be impossible to take the opponent down.

"Who exactly are you, and who sent you to assassinate me?"

"No comment!"

Hu Sha dropped this sentence and immediately turned to flee.

Since she was no match for him, she could only return to the organization and have a stronger assassin come to kill Chu Feng.

"Hmph, you think you can run after offending me?"

Chu Feng flashed over and blocked Hu Sha's path, "Do you think my place is a public restroom? You come and go as you please?"

"Damn it!"

Seeing that she could not escape, Hu Sha had no choice but to take drastic measures and launch an attack on Chu Feng once again.

"Overestimating your own capabilities!"

Chu Feng formed his hand into a claw shape and lunged at the opponent.

Hu Sha knew her strength was far inferior to Chu Feng's, so she dared not take the move head-on and could only choose to dodge.

Chu Feng flipped his hand suddenly, and with a swish, he tore the covering off the opponent's face.

"Ah!"

Hu Sha shrieked in surprise.

Her entire face was instantly exposed to the air.

"Yo, turns out you're a beauty!"

Chu Feng looked at the covering in his hand and then glanced at Hu Sha close by.

The opponent had a flawless, oval-shaped face.

Beneath a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows were two watery, peach-blossom eyes.

Thin lips and a straight bridge of the nose.

Although not as stunning as that vixen Ziran, her looks were already in the top tier.

"Damn it!"

Hu Sha cursed loudly.

Right now, she could not care about anything else; she had to escape immediately.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Seeing Hu Sha fleeing into the air, Chu Feng immediately gave chase.

"What happened?"

The intense fluctuations appearing near Chu Feng's tent naturally drew the attention of other generals.

By the time they gathered at Chu Feng's tent, Chu Feng had already successfully returned with Hu Sha.

"General, what happened?"

"Look, an assassin just attacked me, and now I've caught her!"

Chu Feng loosened his grip and tossed Hu Sha onto the ground.

The generals were filled with righteous indignation.

This woman truly did not know the meaning of death, daring to assassinate Chu Feng at such a time.

"Let me behead her!"

Lu Shuwan drew the long saber at her waist without hesitation, preparing to hack the Hu Sha before her to death with one strike.

"Stop!"

Lu Shuwan's saber stopped instantly above Hu Sha's head. "General, what is this?"

"I haven't finished asking my questions yet, don't be in such a rush to act. Besides, this woman has the cultivation of a Grandmaster Consummation!"

"What!"

Everyone was shocked.

They had not expected this seemingly frail woman to be such a formidable top-tier expert.

To prevent any accidents from occurring.

Chu Feng did not hesitate to directly cripple Hu Sha's cultivation.

"You..."

Feeling the intense pain radiating from her abdomen.

Hu Sha had no choice but to accept her fate.

The other party's strength far exceeded her imagination; it was only logical that she had fallen into his hands.

"Tell me, who sent you to assassinate me?"

"I have nothing to say!"

Hu Sha remained stubborn.

Assassins have an assassin's code; they must never betray their organization.

"You won't talk, is that it? Heh, I have plenty of ways to pry your mouth open here!"

Chu Feng squatted down and hooked Hu Sha's chin. "What a beautiful woman! This face is outrageously pretty; how would you feel if I were to carve a few slashes into it?"

Hu Sha did not speak.

However, her body clearly trembled.

As a girl, loving beauty is human nature.

If the other party really were to slash her a few times, it would be even more unbearable than killing her.

"Besides, my camp is full of hot-blooded young men who haven't touched a woman in a long time, especially one as pretty as you."

"Now that I've crippled your cultivation, you're no different from an ordinary woman. A few of us will have some fun with you later, and then we'll hand you over to the other soldiers to toy with!"

"I'll tell you in advance, we have over twenty thousand soldiers; I hope your body can hold up!"

As he spoke, Chu Feng prepared to tear at Hu Sha's clothes on the spot.

"Please wait!"

"I'll talk!"

Hu Sha was, after all, worried about being toyed with by twenty thousand men.

One must know that she was still a maiden; she hadn't even married yet!

If she were really toyed with by twenty thousand soldiers, that would be even worse than death.

"Speak, who sent you?"

"Th-then will you guarantee that I won't be violated?"

"I can guarantee it, but you must confess honestly."

"Fine!"

Hu Sha ultimately chose to compromise. "I come from the Netherworld Society. The reason I assassinated the General is because the General killed Marquis Dong and wiped out the Scorpion Tower, so I received orders from the higher-ups of the Netherworld Society to come and assassinate the General."

"Netherworld Society!" Lu Shuwan was startled upon hearing of this organization.

"What, you know them?"

"I've learned a little about them!"

Lu Shuwan explained, "This is a terrorist organization that drifts between many countries. No one knows where their main base is or how many assassins they have."

"It is only known that they act decisively and will not stop until they achieve their goal."

"Once, a Martial Saint-level expert in Great Chu died at the hands of the Netherworld Society!"

Damn!

Even a Martial Saint-level expert had been taken out; the strength of this Netherworld Society truly could not be underestimated.

Chu Feng thought to himself.

The information he had previously learned from Marquis Dong was already enough to surprise him.

Now he finally had the strength to resist a Martial Venerable-level expert.

And yet, the other side could even kill a Martial Saint-level expert; this was truly...

Chu Feng asked a few more questions regarding the Netherworld Society, and Hu Sha answered them all, though unfortunately, they were only trivial pieces of information.

"Someone, arrange for this female assassin to go move bricks!"

"Yes!"

This female assassin cannot be killed just yet.

Heaven knows if this person has any restrictions placed on them.

If it were to provoke an even stronger enemy, that would be bad.

"The rest of you, return immediately to reorganize the troops. Tomorrow morning, the great army will set out to attack the heartland of the Turkic!"

"Understood!"

Right now, he must hurry to accelerate the improvement of his strength to deal with the challenge from the Netherworld Society.

At the same time.

The fleeing Turkic remnants brought the battle situation from the front lines back to the Turkic headquarters.

After the other Turkic leaders learned of this news, their jaws all dropped in shock.

Three Grandmasters were killed in a single move by the enemy general.

This strength is truly...

"Everyone, a Martial Venerable level powerhouse has appeared in Great Wei. Right now, our strength is simply unable to contend with them!"

"Then what should we do? Are we to abandon the land beneath our feet and flee to the Northern Plains?"

"We absolutely cannot flee to the Northern Plains; the environment there is harsh and simply not suitable for survival!"

"Then what should we do? Are we to wait for the Martial Venerable of Wei to come knocking at our door?"

The crowd immediately fell into deep thought.

Right now, they could neither advance nor retreat.

They were clearly caught in a dilemma.

"Everyone, right now we still have one path we can take!"

"Oh? Which path?"

The crowd asked in pursuit.
