Chapter 308 -0304: Assassin

In the dark cave, an ordinary jade stone provided illumination.

A burly Scarred Man sat cross-legged on the ground, grinding some medicine powder.

"Hehe, this ‘Red Flame Poison Flower’ combined with ‘Cold Corrosive Bamboo’ produces an even fiercer toxin. Even someone in the Late Innate stage would feel as if they were burning in fierce fire and suffering from intense cold, it’s almost worse than death. It’s extremely toxic even to those at the Innate Peak,”

Scarred Man chuckled evilly.

"Once I finish preparing it, those chasing after me will pay a bloody price!”

A ruthless light swirled in Scarred Man’s eyes.

Scarred Man screamed in terror.

Chen Yu’s burst of speed was even faster than before, reaching him in an instant.

Puff!

One slash, and a head flew off, rolling away into the distance.

"Never underestimate these evil men who live on the edge of death.”

Compared to cultivators of the same rank from the academy, these evildoers might be weaker but were far more ruthless and experienced, making it easy to fall into their traps.

If not for Chen Yu’s True Copper Statue offering immense resistance to toxins, even he might have had a hard time dealing with Poison Dragon.

Hiss!

Chen Yu’s body was contaminated with quite a bit of poison powder, continuously eroding his body.

Fortunately, the amount of poison powder was small, and Chen Yu forcefully activated his true body, quickly expelling all the toxins.

"This poison is not bad!”

Chen Yu’s True Copper Statue couldn’t be fully immune to this poison, which shows how potent it is, not weaker than the venom of the Green Moss Poison Mushroom.

Chen Yu took away the small black bottle from the hands of Scarred Man, as well as his storage bag.

"Hehe.”

Chen Yu grinned.

Although bounty missions were dangerous, they were lucrative. Once he killed a wanted target, he would also get the possessions on them.

There were countless toxic materials inside Scarred Man’s storage bag, along with seven or eight thousand Grade Essence Stones, several precious gemstones, and martial arts techniques.

Then, Chen Yu put Scarred Man’s head in a bag and placed it in the storage bag.

Leaving the cave, Chen Yu prepared to return to the academy.

But just then, Chen Yu felt a sudden leap in his heart, feeling a wave of danger sending shivers down his spine.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two shadowy figures stealthily appeared on both sides behind Chen Yu, each wielding a short blade aiming for his neck.

Even then, the two assassins didn’t make much noise as they silently stabbed with their blades.

"Scram!”

Chen Yu roared, activating his True Copper Statue and calling upon the Evil Qi.

Boom! The bronze radiance and the black evil wind, along with the sudden explosive force of his physique, burst forth.

Chen Yu’s figure instantly enlarged, turning into a giant bronze Buddha.

Ding! Hiss!

After enlarging, the assassins’ short blades stabbed into Chen Yu’s back.

One gray short blade left only a superficial scratch, while the other black blade actually pierced through Chen Yu’s defense, stabbing into his flesh.

"Late Innate.”

Chen Yu’s face hardened.

The two assassins, one seemed to have just reached Late Innate while the other had reached Innate Peak, their strength not inferior to the top fighters of the same level from the four major academies.

Moreover, as assassins, they possessed extreme explosive power, striking a deadly blow when they attacked.

If it wasn’t for Chen Yu having achieved the True Copper Statue, allowing him to enlarge greatly, he would probably have died by now under an unguarded situation.

"Eh?”

Both assassins showed surprise.

"Who sent you to assassinate me?”

Chen Yu asked coldly, his face frosty.

From their voices and figures, it was clear one was a male and the other a female.

"Go ask King Yan!”

The male assassin’s voice was flat and cold.

As an Innate Peak assassin, making a mistake against a lesser Early Innate individual was a disgrace in his assassination history.

"Hmph.”

Chen Yu let out a cold grunt.

It had been a while since he had felt such a sense of crisis. He could not let these two assassins go easily, and he had to find out who was behind this.

Roar!

Taking out his Giant Ruler Sword, Chen Yu swung fiercely, chopping out a huge sweep of Dark Red Evil Sword.

Swoosh!

The male assassin, with his exquisite movement technique, leaped to avoid the cut.

"Not so simple.”

The male assassin acknowledged the power of Chen Yu’s sword silently, not too surprised.

Swoosh!

He shot toward Chen Yu like a spring, his black short blade stabbing out.

From behind, the female assassin attacked again.

Instead of swinging his sword, Chen Yu reached into his storage bag and pulled out a black medicinal bottle.

Whoosh~

The bottle opened, releasing a red and blue mist that spread everywhere.

This was exactly the poison powder Scarred Man had used against Chen Yu earlier.

"No good! Junior Sister, back off!”

The male assassin immediately shouted.

Both halted and retreated, yet they still got dusted with a lot of poison powder.

Both took out a medicinal bottle and swallowed a Detoxification Pill.

"Ah… what kind of poison is this, so strong!”

The female, even after swallowing the Detoxification Pill, groaned lowly.

At that moment, her body was burning hot as if scorched by fierce fire, yet her spirit felt as though it was in an ice cellar.

"Sword Shocking Four Directions!”

After dispersing the poison powder, Chen Yu swung the Giant Ruler Sword, executing the “Shocking Evil Sword Technique”.

Layers of Sword Qi swept out, whistling in all directions.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The two assassins were forced to retreat, hit by the residual waves of the Evil Sword.

The female assassin, being weaker, staggered from the hit and further poisoned, her combat ability further diminished.

In contrast, the male assassin, who retreated earlier and was less contaminated by the poison powder, wasn’t much injured.

"Junior Sister, let’s go.”

The male assassin hastily called out.

However, in the next moment, he transformed into a black swift shadow, rushing towards Chen Yu.

His black short blade, carrying a lethal cold gleam, stabbed towards Chen Yu’s throat.

"Die!”

Chen Yu’s expression turned grim.

Boom!

Suddenly, his body emanated an aura resembling that of an Ancient Beast True Dragon, his skin forming a layer of transparent blood scale patterns, resembling a sinister bronze Buddha.

In this poison mist forest, Chen Yu wasn’t afraid of anything and intended to capture these two assassins, so he didn’t hesitate to use his trump card.

"This is… bloodline!”

The male assassin showed surprise.

The intel had not mentioned this.

Boom!

Chen Yu swung his black sword fiercely, unleashing a layer of dark red evil Sword Qi, howling out, stirring in all directions.
