Chapter 97: To Be Broken Yet Not Dead, Is To Be A Spirit Person

"Mu Yu, it has been a long time."

As the voice arrived, an old man with skin like a chicken and hair like a crane appeared.

Beside him were over twenty experts dressed in black robes.

A terrifying aura radiated from the bodies of these assassins.

Zhao Ran looked at these people, a cold expression flashing in her eyes: "Nine Electric-level Assassins, seventeen Thunder-Level Assassins; what a grand display."

Nine Electric-level Assassins, seventeen Thunder-Level Assassins.

With a lineup like this, even an expert at the Grandmaster level could be killed.

The old man with skin like a chicken and hair like a crane was known in the pugilistic world as Yingzhua Wang.

His claw techniques possessed infinite power.

He was also the expert second only to the Tower Master within the Wind and Rain Tower at present.

He looked at Mu Yu, a look of wariness appearing in his eyes: "Who let you carry an Immortal's finger bone on your person?"

Zhao Ran did not answer and continued to sharpen her sword.

Yingzhua Wang looked at Zhao Ran and continued: "This time, not only have I come, but the Tower Master has also come.

That husband of yours has also been left for other assassins to handle."

Zhao Ran's expression shifted slightly.

However, thinking of the Jubei King, Zhao Ran felt slightly more at ease.

Just at this moment, the black-robed Wind and Rain Tower Master appeared.

His face bore an indifferent expression: "Mu Yu, hand over the Immortal's finger bone, and I can let you die with a bit more dignity."

He had two things to do on this trip to Fenglan.

The first thing was to Slay Mu Yu and obtain the Immortal's finger bone.

The second thing was to annihilate Fenglan and obtain more Immortal Corpse Bone for the Empress Dowager.

Both of these matters were very heavy.

Among them, the second matter was more difficult.

Of course, the first matter was more important.

Therefore, he had brought all the top-tier forces this time, just to finish the battle quickly and take down Mu Yu.

At this moment, the Wind and Rain Tower Master looked at Mu Yu with an icy gaze.

"Who cares about things after death?" Zhao Ran lifted her Gold Cloud Sword and stood up.

A powerful aura surged from her body at this moment.

At this time, she was no longer the little woman who served tea, cooked meals, and straightened her husband's collar, but the renowned assassin of the pugilistic world—Mu Yu.

"As expected of Mu Yu, only one step away from the Grandmaster realm." The Wind and Rain Tower Master Zhou Taike let out a sigh of admiration.

Mu Yu was indeed the number one genius of the new generation in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Even if the top ten young talents of the Hidden Dragon Ranking were to join forces, they would likely be no match for her.

"Give you a few more years, and a Grandmaster will appear in the pugilistic world.

It is just a pity that when the heavens favor someone, time might hold her back."

Zhou Taike did not hesitate.

"Attack together, finish this quickly."

Once Mu Yu was resolved, he still had to go to the Fenglan Royal Palace to annihilate the Fenglan Royal Family.

Instantly, dozens of green blades flashed with cold light.

The aura of slaughter erupted in an instant.

"Kill!"

The twenty-plus people charged at Zhao Ran instantly.

The Wind and Rain Tower Master Zhou Taike also struck instantly.

Assassins have no martial virtue to speak of.

Using the fastest speed to kill the target is the principle of an assassin.

However, just as the Wind and Rain Tower Master Zhou Taike struck, six figures appeared from outside the courtyard, surrounding him.

"The Jubei King's men?"

The Wind and Rain Tower Master narrowed his eyes, showing no surprise.

The six people remained silent and struck at the Wind and Rain Tower Master instantly.

The moves they used were extremely desperate, with no defense at all.

Seeing this scene, the Wind and Rain Tower Master's expression shifted: "Are you people from Jinyi?

So, Jinyi is a dog raised by the Jubei King."

He did not hesitate and immediately began to fight these six people.

Among them, five more people appeared, joined the formation, and stood guard beside Zhao Ran.

"Mistress." The leading man spoke, his voice indifferent, carrying a trace of reverence.

Zhao Ran was slightly surprised by this form of address.

Calling her Mistress, did that not mean their master was her own husband?

How did her husband establish Jinyi?

She knew that Jinyi was a major force in the current pugilistic world, not inferior to the Tianji Pavilion.

However, seeing these people, Zhao Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

Since her husband was the master of Jinyi, those Ordinary assassins from the Wind and Rain Tower could not do anything to her at all.

It is just that, now there are these experts in brocade robes.

It is still very difficult for her to break the deadlock.

One must know, the enemy before her is the Wind and Rain Tower, the world's number one assassin organization.

"Mistress, please sit to the side.

These assassins, let us deal with them.

Wait a moment, the Master will return."

"This..." Zhao Ran was slightly stunned.

The people in brocade robes who came are strong, but compared to the Wind and Rain Tower, they are still far behind.

And at this moment, Wind and Rain Tower Master Zhou Taike let out a loud laugh: "The people in brocade robes are nothing more than this."

After exchanging a few rounds, his powerful Great Sorrow Palm instantly imprinted itself onto the skull of a Grandmaster expert in brocade robes.

Instantly, that Grandmaster expert's skull caved in.

This level of injury would undoubtedly be fatal.

However, that Grandmaster expert in brocade robes acted as if nothing had happened.

"Die!"

Even having suffered such an injury, he was still full of vigor, his attacks fierce and overbearing.

Wind and Rain Tower Master Zhou Taike's expression changed instantly: "The rumors are true? People in brocade robes have an undying body? How is that possible!"

For a time, there were rumors in the Jianghu that people in brocade robes had undying bodies, and even if they were struck by several swords, they would not die.

Of course, when Zhou Taike received this news, he only took it as nonsense.

How could such people exist!

Now, the reality was laid out before him, and for the first time, he was shaken.

Nearby, the other assassins of the Wind and Rain Tower, and even Zhao Ran, began to look horrified.

Especially Zhao Ran; as she watched this scene before her, she suddenly remembered a scene from her childhood.

At that time, a mysterious woman appeared before Su Yunqiong.

As noble as Su Yunqiong was, she was incomparably respectful before that woman.

At that time, that mysterious woman once said: "A body that is destroyed but does not die is a Spirit Person.

When the Spirit Person appears, heaven and earth shall return to one."

At that time, she did not understand these words.

Now, she still does not understand.

However, the experts in brocade robes before her seemed to overlap with the Spirit Person the mysterious woman spoke of.

"I don't believe I can't kill you!"

On Zhou Taike's body, a trace of injury had already appeared.

At this moment, he was shocked and furious.

He used the Great Sorrow Palm, striking the skull of that expert in brocade robes once more.

And his own body, because of this, suffered a powerful blow.

Boom!

That expert in brocade robes' skull shattered, just like a broken watermelon.

And at this moment, the expert in brocade robes finally fell to the ground, having lost all combat ability.

Zhou Taike wiped blood from the corner of his mouth: "Their weakness is the skull."

They have so many top-tier assassins, and while the experts in brocade robes before them are ghost-like, there are few of them after all.

Now that he has discovered their weakness, as long as they pay a price, it won't be long before they can still win, wipe out the brocade-robed ones, and Slay Mu Yu.

The battle was still continuing.

Mu Yu did not truly remain still; instead, she raised her sword and joined the battle.

However, the experts in brocade robes protected her well, and coupled with her peerless combat power, by now, three Thunder-Level Assassins had died by her hand, and one Electric-level Assassin had been severely wounded by her.

Another expert in brocade robes beside her had his skull exploded and lost his breath.

And at this time, Zhao Ran was panting; by now, she had already exhausted more than half of her strength.

If she held on for a while longer, she feared she would not be able to persist.

Zhou Taike was injured, but his eyes held a smile: "When I return to Jingcheng and report the matter of the brocade-robed ones to the Empress Dowager, I imagine she will be very interested in them."

He was also very interested in the brocade-robed ones.

If he could control the secret of the brocade-robed ones, wouldn't that mean his own strength could reach a higher level?

"It is a pity that you will not have the chance to see Su Yunqiong."

Just at this moment, a faint voice came.

Lin Chao, in a white robe, appeared at the courtyard gate.

His expression was calm and composed; he swept his gaze over the Wind and Rain Tower assassins in the room and spoke slowly: "The destruction of Dayan begins with the collapse of the Wind and Rain Tower."

A complex look flashed in Zhou Taike's eyes: "Qi Lin, your tone is not small.

Do you think that with Chen Fengru here, you can destroy our Wind and Rain Tower?"

Zhou Taike naturally assumed that Qi Lin's reliance was Chen Fengru.

Otherwise, how could Qi Lin dare to be so calm?

Lin Chao looked at Zhou Taike indifferently, then turned his gaze to Zhao Ran: "Ran'er, may I borrow the Gold Cloud Sword?"

Zhao Ran paused, confusion flashing in her heart; was her husband not only a Fourth Grade martial artist?

"Naturally, you may."

At this moment, Zhao Ran chose to believe in her husband.

Suddenly, a sword flew toward Lin Chao and landed steadily in his hand.

Lin Chao walked forward slowly, and the moment he grasped the sword, his aura underwent a sudden, massive change.

"The Three-Color Pavilion... the Wind and Rain Tower... neither has any need to exist in this world."

Clang!

In an instant, the sound of a sword hummed through the air.

On the field, only a single sword shadow could be seen.

What Lin Chao was using was none other than the Golden Cloud Sword Technique, the Golden Cloud Sword Technique that the Old Blind Man had taught him.

With one swing of the sword, it was as smooth as flowing water.

"No! Ah!"

Yingzhua Wang let out a roar; that was his final scream.

His body, following that roar, was instantly split into two halves.

Below the level of Grandmaster, the Wind and Rain Tower's top expert, Yingzhua Wang, died instantly.

Zhou Taike looked at Lin Chao's sword technique and looked at Yingzhua Wang's corpse, a look of terror appearing on his face.

"This kind of sword technique..."

"This kind of strength..."

This kind of sword technique, he had seen before.

Six years ago, the Three-Color Pavilion was destroyed.

The Three-Color Pavilion Master had been struck by just such a sword strike.

Now, he was seeing this sword strike once again.

And the person wielding this sword strike was none other than the son of the Wu'an Lord, a young man not yet twenty years old.

How could this be possible!

Six years ago, was the destruction of the Three-Color Pavilion also related to him?

At that time, the son of the Wu'an Lord was likely only thirteen years old?

"You..." Zhou Taike was shocked.

He had had many guesses.

But he would never have imagined that the one who destroyed the Three-Color Pavilion was the young son of the Wu'an Lord.

The Lin Chao before his eyes appeared like a demon god!
