Merchant From Earth in the Magical World-Chapter 535 - 377 True Old Fox_1

Yan Xing braved the torrential rain, taking a Beak Eagle special flight from the Eternal Domain to the Nuta City airport.

He then took a special car dispatched by the Eternal Commerce Guild, escorted by a convoy of guards, to the Lord's Mansion in Nuta City.

Dense clouds filled the sky, casting the entire city in a gloomy shade.

Looking out the car window, he could see the rain-washed streets and people in the windows of roadside houses, holding candles and praying devoutly.

The citizens of Nuta City mourned their old lord in their own ways.

These scenes deepened Yan Xing's sorrow. It reminded him of when he first met Count Theodore.

Back then, I was high-spirited, conceited, and recklessly stormed into Nuta City. Before I caused too much trouble, it was Count Theodore who gave me a gentle but firm lesson. That made me re-evaluate my position and stop treating the people of this world as fools. It feels as though I've known Count Theodore for over two years, yet it also seems like more than twenty. Perhaps Count Theodore had his own selfish reasons during our time together, but then again, who doesn't?

There were no pedestrians on the road, and the convoy moved very quickly.

After about twenty minutes, the main gate of the Lord's Mansion came into view.

At that moment, Chui Chui, sitting next to Yan Xing, said, "Master, the Heart Demon Survey Team in the Land of Corruption found a Contrary's body in a cave. According to investigations, it is Demon Sarlous, historically known as the Abyssal Eye, an ultimate demonic creature from Hell.

Due to Sarlous's immense energy, we are unable to perform spatial calculations on him and therefore cannot use spatial teleportation to bring him back to the Eternal Domain.

I have arranged for a transport plane to head to the Land of Corruption.

If everything goes as planned, you should be able to see Sarlous when you return to the Eternal Domain from Nuta City."

Yan Xing said, "Demon Sarlous from Hell... I originally thought Max was Sarlous. After all, in the myths of the real world, he is Satan of Hell and loves to play devilish tricks. It seems he made some clever moves to hide his true identity."

Chui Chui said, "Max recommended that you use the body of the Contrary Angel to obtain your Divine Body, so surely Max isn't that Angel. Master, who do you think is the real Max among the remaining Contraries?"

Yan Xing laughed and said, "There's no need to guess; we'll know once they're all dug out."

At this time, the convoy came to a halt, Yan Xing's car stopping right in front of the Lord's Mansion.

A guard standing at the entrance of the Lord's Mansion quickly ran over. He was clad in fully enclosed metal armor, rain cascading off it like streams.

The guard ran to the side of the car, one hand reaching for the door handle, the other resting on the hilt of the longsword at his waist. Through the slit in his helmet, his eyes radiated intense murderous intent.

Just then, Hibel's warning reached Chui Chui's ear.

The car door opened a crack, and Chui Chui instantly swapped places with Yan Xing.

The guard, realizing his cover might have been blown, quickly yanked the door fully open. With a backhand draw, his sword flashed, slicing vertically towards the person inside.

Chui Chui, now positioned on the outside, already had her arm covered by a layer of armor. A shield deployed from her bracer, intercepting the deadly blade.

Simultaneously, Chui Chui shoved Yan Xing, sending him tumbling out the other side of the car.

As Yan Xing was thrown clear, he looked back into the car and saw Chui Chui's arm severed. She met his gaze, a triumphant smile on her face, glad her master had escaped.

Then, the falling rain transformed into countless ice spikes, piercing down through the car's roof.

Another boulder crashed down, completely flattening the car.

While still airborne, Yan Xing activated his Ultimate Super Armament. By the time he landed, armor completely encased him.

He drew the greatsword from his back, gripping it firmly, and called out to Chui Chui in his mind, "Are you okay?"

Panting with frustration, Chui Chui was already back at her computer console, exclaiming, "This infuriates me! Truly infuriates me! Do you know how many precious things I put into that body? It was destroyed before it could even please you, Master! Master, they've successfully angered me, and they must know the cost of infuriating Chui Chui!"

Knowing Chui Chui was safe, Yan Xing felt a wave of relief.

A Heart Demon wouldn't truly die as long as it could upload its consciousness core in time.

"They should indeed pay the price!" Yan Xing declared.

Just then, Hibel, clad in her Judgment Super Armament, landed beside Yan Xing.

She stood back-to-back with him.

"It's Anderson... My father met with Anderson before. I never imagined he would use my father to try and assassinate you!"

The boulder that had flattened the car split apart, reassembling into a stone golem. A Mage landed on its shoulder. The assassin, who had been disguised as a Lord's Mansion guard, removed his helmet. It was Anderson. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Yan Xing's escorting guards burst from the vehicles in front and behind, attempting to rescue him. However, a large number of Mages and assassins surged from their hiding places, clashing with Yan Xing's men.

The sounds of magical explosions and fierce combat erupted from within the Lord's Mansion as well.

Anderson had really gone to great lengths to assassinate Yan Xing this time. Regrettably for him, Yan Xing had evaded their first assassination attempt.

Anderson's eyes turned blood-red, and a crimson fog began to emanate from him, spreading outward.

To kill Yan Xing with his own hands, he had pleaded with a Tower Mage to use Alchemy to enhance his body. Despite the dire side effects, Anderson no longer cared.
