Chapter 202: Street Assassination! Slaying a Primordial Mansion Realm Expert

The diminutive frame erupted with a majestic strength completely disproportionate to its size.

CLANG! CRACK!

The collision of metal produced an ear-piercing shriek! The Dwarf Assassin felt a violent tremor run through his arms. An irresistible, tremendous force transmitted through his Water-Splitting Needles, bending them forcefully and knocking them out of his grasp! Undiminished, the blade’s momentum swept past his shoulder.

“How is this possible?!”

An arm flew into the air, accompanied by a shower of blood! The Dwarf Assassin let out a wretched howl and retreated frantically, his face plastered with incredulous terror.

He was a Middle Stage Primordial Mansion Realm expert! Although he specialized in assassination, his frontal combat strength was not weak. Yet, a mere Qi Sea Realm martial artist had sent his weapons flying and severed his arm with a single slash?! How could a Qi Sea Realm Martial Artist possess such power? He wondered if Qin Yu was a Body Refining Cultivator. Unless he was a Body Refining Cultivator of the same Realm, it would be impossible to defeat him so easily!

On the other side, the female assassin’s heart skipped a beat. Her reaction was extremely fast. Seeing Qin Yu appear beside her companion like an Instant Teleportation to launch an attack, she immediately realized their plan had been exposed and the target had long been prepared. But the die was cast, and there was no turning back! Without a shred of hesitation, her body twisted eerily. Two transparent short blades drew twin arcs of desolate cold light, lunging toward Qin Yu’s neck.

In the next moment, the Hive Guards flanking Qin Yu finally moved. Amidst low growls, the bodies of two Hive Guards seemed to combust. Blood-red mist soared into the sky. With crimson eyes, they locked onto the female assassin and unhesitatingly swung their blades at her.

Talent—Death Frenzy!

As Qin Yu’s personal guards, how could they be called Hive Guards if they lacked sufficient strength?

CLANG!

By instantly burning their Life Force, the Hive Guards gained enough power to temporarily tangle with even an ordinary Early Stage Primordial Mansion Realm expert.

SQUELCH! SQUELCH!

The two broken blades of this Late Stage Primordial Mansion Realm female assassin blurred into phantoms. A dozen bloody holes instantly appeared across the bodies of the two Hive Guards, and even their necks were mostly torn open. Yet, despite this, the Hive Guards continued to swing their Long Sabers downward.

The surrounding Hive Guards all roared. The light of the Daoist Soldier Array flickered upon them, and their vigorous aura made the female assassin’s heart sink.

“You’re courting death!” Qin Tianfeng roared in fury. He had indeed been startled by this sudden, perfectly disguised assassination attempt, but he was a veteran Primordial Mansion Realm expert with rich combat experience after all. The moment the female assassin was blocked by the Hive Guards, he reacted. His Long Saber unsheathed with a resounding clang, transforming into a bursting expanse of saber light that slashed toward her.

CLING CLING CLING CLING!

The short blades and the Long Saber collided dozens of times in an instant, sending sparks flying! The female assassin’s Cultivation was higher than Qin Tianfeng’s, and her moves were treacherous and ruthless. However, with the assistance of the Hive Guards, the two actually fought to a standstill.

Meanwhile.

At the exact same time the Dwarf Assassin retreated with a severed arm and the female assassin engaged Qin Tianfeng, Qin Yu did not hesitate in the slightest, wielding his saber as he gave chase. Behind the dwarf, several Hive Guards erupted with blood-red mist.

“Get lost!” The Dwarf Assassin was both shocked and enraged. Waving his remaining arm, his Primordial Power erupted, blasting away two Hive Guards who were desperately burning their lives. Although this only delayed him for an instant, it was enough for Qin Yu.

“Wind-Thunder Tribulation Destruction Slash!”

Qin Yu’s icy voice rang out. The Dragon-slaying Saber in his hand seemed to transform into a Thunder Dragon, letting out an earth-shattering dragon’s roar.

“Damn it!” The Dwarf Assassin’s expression turned exceedingly ugly. He could sense that he absolutely could not block the might contained within this slash; even if he barely managed to fend it off, he would be heavily injured. In an instant, a blood-colored Talisman appeared in his hand. As a Primordial Mansion Realm expert, how could he not have a few life-saving methods?

BOOM!

The blood-colored Talisman flared with light. In the next breath, the Dragon-slaying Saber cleaved into the bloody glow.

CRACK!

A crisp shattering sound echoed out. In just a split second, the Energy Patterns on the surface of the Talisman were rapidly destroyed, and fracture lines appeared.

“How is this possible?” The Dwarf Assassin stared in horror at the cracks on his protective light. This was the Blood Armor Talisman he had purchased at a great cost. Even a Late Stage Primordial Mansion Realm expert would find it incredibly difficult to break its defense! But this Qin Yu had nearly shattered the Talisman with a single slash!

Before he could attempt to flee again, an arm wreathed in Wind and Thunder Force gripped his neck. Then, his world violently spun.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Like a ragdoll, the Dwarf Assassin was seized by Qin Yu and frantically smashed into the bluestone pavement, shattering the earth and leaving behind a series of large craters. After more than a dozen consecutive slams, the blood-colored light shattered completely. The Dwarf Assassin vomited blood, his skin and membranes rupturing all over.

Once the Human Skin Secret Technique was broken, his true appearance was instantly revealed. His body even expanded out of thin air, revealing a rather skinny little man, though his skull had been battered flat by the relentless thrashing.

The female assassin watched Qin Yu’s berserk state, terror gripping her soul. She wondered what kind of monster he was. A Middle Stage Primordial Mansion Realm expert actually had no power to resist in front of this Qin Yu, and had died without using any of his numerous powerful or signature Secret Techniques. To be battered to death just like that? She realized Qin Yu must also be skilled in Body Refining, making him a Body Cultivator.

WHOOSH!

Having instantly smashed the skinny man to death, Qin Yu violently hurled the corpse at the female assassin. Lightning flashed all over his body as he charged over, treading upon Thunderbolts. The Dragon-slaying Saber carried the fury of Wind and Thunder in a simple, direct horizontal slash!

The female assassin, who was currently entangled with Qin Tianfeng and the Dao Soldiers formed by the Hive Guards, dodged the corpse. In the very next second, Qin Yu’s Dragon-slaying Saber had already arrived, leaving her with no choice but to desperately raise her short blades to block. At the same time, she let out a piercing shriek!

A visible Soul Shock swept outward in all directions. All the Hive Guards, and even Qin Tianfeng, stiffened. However, the Dragon-slaying Saber in Qin Yu’s hand did not stall in the slightest.

CLANG! SQUELCH!

The short blades were knocked aside by an overbearing power, and the blade swept through her slender waist without any hindrance. The female assassin’s upper body slid off at a slant, her eyes still harboring lingering shock and indignation as her life aura rapidly dissipated.

She realized in despair that their intelligence was wrong. How could he be a Qi Sea Realm martial artist? He was clearly a Late Stage Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivator skilled in Body Refining!

The battle, from start to finish, had taken no more than ten short breaths of time. Two carefully disguised Primordial Mansion Realm assassins, who cooperated flawlessly, had been forcibly slain.

WHOOSH!

A gale howled, sweeping up the mist within a dozen meters and scattering it into the sky.

Qin Tianfeng sheathed his saber. He looked at Qin Yu, who was surrounded by Wind and Thunder Power and whose slightly blackened palms were recovering at a visible rate, feeling incomparably shaken. The strength Qin Yu had erupted with in that split second made even a veteran like him feel inferior.

“Are you alright?” Qin Tianfeng asked. The blood-colored Shield surrounding the skinny young man disguised as a child clearly possessed extremely strong corrosive properties and even contained a lethal poison, intended to force Qin Yu to let go. Yet, in the end, he was battered to death.

“I’m fine. This bit of toxicity isn’t even enough for the Wind and Thunder Tribulation Destruction Scripture to improve my physical strength,” Qin Yu replied, shaking his head slightly.

The Beta-level Upper Grade cultivation method, the Wind and Thunder Tribulation Destruction Scripture, bestowed by the Demon Suppression Bureau, had been in his possession for over ten days. Naturally, he had already mastered it. This Cultivation Technique was very similar to the Wind and Thunder Poison Dragon Scripture that the Insect Swarm had been continuously deducing. As such, deducing it further was much easier.

The new Cultivation Technique, which fused the essences of the Wind and Thunder Tribulation Destruction Scripture and the Wind and Thunder Poison Dragon Scripture, was absolutely no weaker than an ordinary Alpha-level Low Grade Cultivation Method. Paired with the continuous feedback from the Insect Swarm, his strength was not inferior to the Early Stage Primordial Mansion Realm even in his normal state. Let alone when he activated the Power of Dominator!

“Phew—”

“As long as you’re alright! These bastards are so arrogant to actually make a move inside Yunlong County City!” Qin Tianfeng said angrily. Although Qin Yu was fine, as many as eight Hive Guards had died in battle on the spot, and the rest were severely injured.

“They are people from Shadow Kill Tower and the Red Dust Sect!”

Before Qin Yu could speak, a figure rapidly swept across the sky in the distance and landed in front of them. It was none other than Demon Suppression Bureau General Li Linfeng. At this moment, his complexion was rather unsightly. This kind of public street assassination showed absolutely no regard for him or the Demon Suppression Bureau.

“The retaliation of these so-called Demon Sects and Evil Cults is nothing more than this! Since they’ve made their move, I will slaughter another ten of their Sect strongholds as a response!” Qin Yu swept his gaze over the destroyed surroundings. Although the battle had only lasted a dozen breaths, it had still caused significant destruction. Shrouded in the mist, over a dozen innocent civilians had been killed or injured. “I wonder how many Merit Points these two heads are worth?”
