Chapter 942: Chapter 939: Pursuit and Assassination

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Leaving Big Market City, Yang Wanyi and ’Luo Feng’ utilized their Qinggong, moving steadily through the vast wilderness.

Han Xuan, dressed in black, ran beside Yang Wanyi, subtly glancing back.

Under the faint moonlight, the massive light screen connecting heaven and earth from Big Market City had shrunk to a fingertip-sized speck. The undulating hills seemed like giants standing on the earth, filled with desolate and cold aura, with not a soul in sight.

"Yang Wanyi, your perception is better than mine. Have they caught up?" Han Xuan asked in a low voice.

Yang Wanyi gently nodded, a cold glint flashed in her beautiful eyes. "After leaving Big Market City, they’ve stopped disguising their tracks. There’s a presence of nearly ten people nearby."

"Haha, it seems Zhouyan is determined to pursue us this time."

Han Xuan laughed softly, his laughter filled with a murderous intent.

The two continued running for several miles until the massive light screen from Big Market City thoroughly disappeared.

At this moment, the waning moon hid behind a cloud, and the night sky showcased a few twinkling stars, leaving the vast earth shrouded in darkness.

"Be careful, they’ve caught up."

Yang Wanyi raised her Daimei, seemingly perceiving something, and suddenly spoke.

Whoosh!

As her voice fell, the distant night emitted a sharp whistling sound, revealing several figures swiftly approaching, their speed so fast that light streams trailed behind them, sweeping sand and stones violently into the air.

"Haha... stay here!"

Laughter rang out, and one person drew his sword, slashing forward.

Slash!

The air was cut through, and a highly condensed blue Sword Qi split the night, slicing through the empty space toward Yang Wanyi and Han Xuan.

Luo Feng, from a shadow on a distant hill, furrowed his brows upon seeing the sword light but didn’t intervene.

He could tell that these few people were not a match for Yang Wanyi and the person in black. What concerned him more were the hidden presences around them.

These presences were extremely terrifying, with two of them possessing Cultivation no less than Elder Qian’s, probably Martial Artists in the Spiritual Rotation Realm’s mid-stage eighth level.

What puzzled him was that these people only hid around, their presence restrained, seemingly not intending to reveal themselves. If not for his strong Soul Power and keen perception, he might not have noticed their existence.

"Wanyi and the others are not in immediate danger, let’s wait and see." Feeling the hidden presences around him, Luo Feng also restrained his aura, blending completely into the shadow of a boulder.

Facing the incoming sword light, Yang Wanyi was prepared, stopping on a slope and pressing her right palm in mid-air.

Boom!

With a thunderous rumble, the nearby air exploded, and a scorching Yuan Qi Palm Gang met the Sword Qi with force.

The Sword Qi and Palm Gang collided in mid-air, instantly exploding, the shattered Qi Force tearing the nearby ground to shreds.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, seven people from behind swiftly pursued,

Bang bang bang...

Feet fell to the ground, creating deep fissures, and seven people formed a semicircle, encircling Yang Wanyi and Han Xuan.

The leader among them, a middle-aged swordsman, scanned Han Xuan and Yang Wanyi, finally resting his gaze on Yang Wanyi, expressionless, he said, "Linglong Hall’s Fire Proud Sun, indeed lives up to the name."

The earlier sword strike was his doing.

Yang Wanyi glanced at the seven people, recognizing the leading swordsman as a captain of the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance’s guard squad, named Qin Tian. Among the seven, he was the most formidable, a late-stage Spiritual Rotation Realm seventh level Martial Artist, not to be underestimated.

The other six also had strong presences, their cultivation ranging from the fifth to the seventh level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.

Internally sneering, Yang Wanyi nonetheless looked at the middle-aged swordsman, asking calmly, "Why are you doing this?"

The middle-aged swordsman’s gaze was cold, shaking his sword’s blade, he smirked and said:

"Nothing much, my young master simply desires to invite you to the mansion for a chat. Oh, and there’s also Master Luo Feng, you’re a distinguished guest our master personally named!"

Speaking, the middle-aged swordsman’s gaze fell on Han Xuan, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Luo Feng..."

Upon hearing the swordsman’s address for the person in black, Luo Feng couldn’t help but smile wryly. However, what puzzled him was Yang Wanyi’s lack of rebuttal to this.

Han Xuan snorted coldly, remaining silent.

Yang Wanyi looked at the middle-aged swordsman, a smile playing on her lips: "So you wish to invite us to the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance. It happens I have some matters to discuss with Zhouyan, please lead the way."

Seeing Yang Wanyi’s stunning smile, the middle-aged swordsman hesitated, unaware that his hastily fabricated lie was utterly believed by the opponent, causing his own astonishment.

"Captain!"

"Be careful!"

At that moment, the six Martial Artists behind suddenly showed a look of horror.

Boom!

In the pitch-black night, flames erupted, Yang Wanyi’s bright eyes flickered with a golden flame, her right index finger pointing in the air.

Sizzle!

The crimson flame condensed into a line, flashing through the void, instantly appearing before the middle-aged swordsman.

The middle-aged swordsman, shocked and enraged, mobilized all his Yuan Qi, his right hand shook as sword light leaped around him, forming a silver Sword Qi shield, firmly guarding himself within, trying to block the attack.

However, he underestimated the speed of the flames.

Poof!

A finger force pierced through just before the sword light shield was formed, penetrating the right shoulder of the middle-aged swordsman. A martial artist behind him couldn’t dodge in time, and a hole the size of a baby’s fist appeared on his head, causing him to fall straight down.

Thud thud thud...

The middle-aged swordsman staggered back several steps, blood gushing from his right shoulder, staring at Yang Wanyi with eyes full of bloodshot veins.

At this moment, even if he were a fool, he would realize he’d been played. The other party had already detected their intentions.

Yang Wanyi remained unfazed, stepping forward slowly with a cold gaze.

The middle-aged swordsman’s eye twitched, knowing it was useless to hesitate any longer, he growled, "Attack together, kill them. The young master will reward handsomely!"

"Kill!"

The six martial artists roared, their figures rushing out to form an encirclement as they pounced on Yang Wanyi.

"You don’t need to make a move."

Yang Wanyi softly said to Han Xuan.

Han Xuan paused, then nodded, "Be careful yourself."

Whoosh...

Yang Wanyi’s eyes flickered, and the flames around her suddenly gathered, forming into a golden feathered robe that shone brilliantly, making her appear as if she stood in a blaze of golden fire, dazzlingly mesmerizing.

"Kill!"

The young martial artist at the forefront acted first, his Yuan Qi boiling over, his right hand suddenly like a branding iron, turning crimson, causing the air nearby to distort slightly as he aimed a palm at Yang Wanyi, intending to seal her movement so the others could act.

Yang Wanyi did not retreat. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Gold Flame Mitian!"

She also pushed out a palm, a scorching and domineering aura spreading from her hand. A crimson palm force about ten meters large shot out from her palm, not only shattering the young martial artist’s crimson palm gang but also sending the young martial artist flying while spitting blood.

"Watch out!"

"Retreat quickly!"

The two martial artists following behind were shocked. They hadn’t expected Yang Wanyi’s cultivation to be only slightly higher than theirs, yet her power was so formidable. That young martial artist was at the pinnacle of the sixth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, just a step away from the seventh level, and he was killed with a single palm strike, leaving them terrified as they desperately used Qinggong to avoid the palm gang’s range.

However, the palm gang was even faster.

Bam!

The air trembled slightly, and the protective gang energy of the two martial artists shattered. Their bodies flew back like torn sacks, the sound of bones cracking filling the air, as they spewed a large amount of blood, clearly beyond saving.

With one less expert, when Zhouyan arrived, the danger would be reduced. Yang Wanyi naturally wouldn’t hold back.

Swish!

With a flicker of her figure, Yang Wanyi appeared in front of a martial artist in a green robe, her jade-like finger pointing at the protective gang energy on his chest.

"So fast!"

The thought flashed through the mind of the green-clad martial artist as both his protective gang energy and body were pierced.

"Damn it, ugly woman, don’t get too arrogant! Die for me!"

A brawny man nearby roared, a fierce and murderous aura bursting from within him. His muscles bulged, tearing his clothes apart, and his left foot stomped on the ground, causing it to shake incessantly as he punched out.

This punch was overwhelming, enveloping both Yang Wanyi and the green-clad martial artist. Even before the punch landed, the fierce wind from it sent fist-sized stones on the ground flying and colliding randomly, appearing from afar like a giant wind drill.

Boom!

The ground trembled. Only a massive pit remained where Yang Wanyi once stood, with a large hole breaking through at the back, the result of the punch force piercing through, surrounded by patches of red stains, staining the ground with blood.

Seeing this scene, the brawny man’s mouth curled up, ready to sneer, but a scorching aura suddenly came from behind.

Bam!

Yang Wanyi killed the brawny man with a palm strike, then turned her gaze to the last swordsman.

The last swordsman, seeing the fallen brawny man, became slightly stiff-faced. The anger in his eyes instantly turned into extreme fear, his body frozen, not daring to move, while the longsword in his hand trembled slightly. Feeling Yang Wanyi’s gaze, a chill ran from his feet straight to his head.

"Ah! Die for me!"

He shouted, holding the sword with both hands, and charged at Yang Wanyi.

To such an uncoordinated attack, Yang Wanyi didn’t even care to look. She pressed her simple hand, and a Yuan Qi palm shot out.

Boom!

The swordsman, along with his sword, was blasted dozens of meters away.

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged swordsman, who had just recovered somewhat from his injuries and was preparing to act personally, had his face change several times in an instant.

Because this mission was critical, he had carefully selected these people, and even in the entire Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance, they were considered experts.

Yet within just four or five breaths, all six of them had died tragically, without any ability to resist. He had never seen a mid-seventh-level Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artist with such strength, it was monstrously strong.

Seeing Yang Wanyi looking this way, the middle-aged swordsman inhaled sharply, his eyes flickering, his mind racing, hesitating whether to fight to the death or to retreat as far as possible.

Huh!

In the distance, Luo Feng suddenly looked up towards the sky in the direction of Big Market City, his gaze slightly focused.
