Chapter 131: The Unlucky Assassin

~8 min read 1,484 words

Fan Ping's heart stirred:

*Also? Assassinate? Good fellow, I've crouched onto a big fish. *

*If this matter is handled well, Master will definitely be moved by me! *

Thinking of this, Fan Ping made a gesture to be quiet and said, "Keep your voice down, don't get discovered. I've been crouching here for a while and haven't found a chance to strike."

The man in black sighed, "This Yang Yu has offended quite a few people. Brother, why do you want to assassinate Yang Yu?"

"I have some personal grievances with him..." Fan Ping couldn't make up a reason for a moment, so he put on a hesitant look.

"What personal grievances?" The man in black became interested.

"I... my wife, sigh, you really shouldn't ask more... I won't say any more." Fan Ping sighed.

The man in black showed sympathy and said, "Brother, sorry, it was my big mouth. This beast truly deserves to die."

"Then what about you? Why do you want to kill Yang Yu?" Fan Ping asked back.

"Just taking money to do a job," the man in black said.

"Who is the buyer?" Fan Ping asked again.

The man in black said lightly, "Brother, don't ask what you shouldn't."

"Haha, yes, yes, I won't ask, I won't ask." Fan Ping gave a dry laugh and then suggested, "In any case, we are both here to assassinate Yang Yu; why don't we cooperate?"

"Cooperate? That's a good idea."

The man in black was a bit tempted.

It was said that this Yang Yu was deep in schemes and cunning.

Even though he was a Half-Saint and skilled in concealment and assassination, he didn't dare say he would definitely succeed.

The reward for this assassination mission was extremely generous.

It could not fail.

Moreover, this brother in front of him, being able to discover him in the night, must also be a Half-Saint.

With two Half-Saints assassinating together, it would be a sure thing.

"The Bai Family Ancestor, Bai Zhantian, has quite a bit of strength, and the other few Kings cannot be ignored. If you and I join forces, even if Bai Zhantian takes action, he won't be able to stop Yang Yu from being killed!"

Fan Ping added.

"Good, then let's cooperate!"

The man in black finally agreed.

Anyway, his goal was to kill Yang Yu, not to fight one-on-one.

Having an extra helper certainly wouldn't hurt.

At the very least, after the assassination succeeded, the Bai Family would definitely come out in full force, and having an extra person to attract firepower would be good.

"Brother, how do you plan to cooperate?" The man in black continued.

"I have an idea..." Fan Ping beckoned with his palm.

The man in black leaned over, listening intently.

The distance between the two became very close.

A vicious arc appeared at the corner of Fan Ping's mouth; he suddenly raised his hand and slammed a palm onto the back of the man in black.

This strike contained an extremely massive amount of Xuanqi.

And because the distance was so close, there was no loss at all.

Almost all of it penetrated into the body of the man in black, raging through his meridians.

The aura of the man in black was instantly thrown into chaos, his face deathly pale: "What? Damn, you plotted against me?!"

As he spoke, he also raised his arm, intending to counterattack.

But having just received a heavy blow, not only was he internally injured, but his Xuanqi was also in chaos, and for a moment, he found it difficult to exert much of his strength.

Fan Ping didn't have any spare time; he rose into the air, and then several Big Hand Seals slammed down fiercely.

Several consecutive Big Hand Seals instantly enveloped the man in black.

With several layers of superposition, they blasted the man in black's feather garment to pieces, shattered many of his bones, and covered him in blood...

His entire aura weakened by a large margin.

"Hmph, what kind of trash, don't even look at who the assassination target is!"

Fan Ping snorted coldly.

With his strength, there was actually no need to sneak attack.

In a normal fight, he could easily defeat the man in black.

But this man in black was a professional assassin, extremely skilled in concealment and escape.

Fan Ping couldn't give him any chance to escape.

This was someone who wanted to assassinate Master; capturing this person was a great merit.

He had to ensure there were no mistakes.

So Fan Ping first got close, tricking the opponent into getting near.

First, a sneak attack that was guaranteed to hit, severely injuring the opponent and making them lose their composure, making it difficult for them to circulate their energy.

Then, not giving the opponent a chance to catch their breath, several consecutive Big Hand Seals completely crippled the opponent's combat ability.

In this way, no matter how skilled this man in black was at escaping, he had no chance at all.

"You, you old schemer, how vicious!"

The man in black was furious and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

In the exchange just now, although he was completely on the receiving end, he could still tell that this old man was a Saint Realm powerhouse!

Only a Saint Realm powerhouse could easily defeat him.

But!!

You, a Saint Realm powerhouse, actually used deception to deal with a Half-Saint? Actually used a sneak attack?

You don't even want your face anymore!!

"Scheming? Hmph, this is called being steady, terrifyingly steady!" Fan Ping didn't think so.

For Master, one must be steady!

An expert's face?

Is face more important than becoming a disciple?

"Steady? Steady your grandfather! You make me feel sick." The man in black spat.

Saint Realm powerhouses usually cherish their reputation; how could there be such a shameless old dog?

Fan Ping laughed and said, "You are an assassin; do I still need to be cute to you?"

"..." The man in black was suddenly speechless.

Isn't that right?

He was here to assassinate.

Everyone is playing dirty; no one should laugh at anyone.

"You kid, you are lucky to have met me today." Fan Ping grinned and lifted the man in black up.

To prevent the opponent from having any remaining strength, he slammed several more palms.

"*Cough... Pfft!! *"

The man in black's internal organs were almost vomited out, his face deathly pale, and the Xuanqi in his Qi Sea had been completely scattered.

"You, you are a Saint Realm powerhouse, is it necessary?" The man in black was about to collapse.

He had originally thought that this mission would not be difficult.

He was experienced and strong; wasn't assassinating a Spirit Sea Realm young master something he could easily do?

Even if he failed, he could still escape safely.

A Half-Saint, if he just wanted to leave, the Bai Family couldn't keep him.

Who would have thought he would run into a shameless Saint Realm powerhouse?

"You are stupid yourself, and you blame me?" Fan Ping mocked.

"When I saw you, I only thought you were a Half-Saint. Who would have thought that a Saint Realm expert would secretly crouch outside the Bai Mansion?"

The man in black's teeth were almost crushed.

Unexpectedly, Fan Ping kicked him without warning.

*Bang! *

The man in black was kicked into the mud and said resentfully, "What are you doing?"

"Didn't expect me to be a Saint Realm expert? I'm even angrier!" Fan Ping said irritably.

The man in black said bitterly, "There are only five Saint Realm experts in Great Xia, and they rarely show up. Which Saint Realm expert would run to a crooked-neck tree and act suspiciously? At first glance, they don't look like good people!"

"You don't recognize me, crime upon crime!" Fan Ping kicked him again.

*Bang! *

The man in black was disfigured, and tears were almost falling: "I... don't recognize you, who are you?"

"I am the Sword Saint!"

Fan Ping snorted coldly and suddenly drew his sword.

*Master doesn't recognize me, fine, but what kind of thing are you, not even recognizing me? *

*Hmph, it seems I have been too low-key in recent years; it's time to show my face more. *

The man in black shuddered and didn't dare to talk back, quickly admitting defeat:

"S-so it's the Sword Saint... I haven't seen you before, and besides, there hasn't been any news of you in the martial arts world for a long time; who would dare to think in that direction? You are a big person with a big heart; don't be like me, just let me go..."

Fan Ping said coldly, "Let you go? You don't think I took action against you just because you don't recognize me, right? Kid, do you know who the Yang Yu you are assassinating is? He is my Master!" ===== CHAPTER 132 =====
