Nine Realms Sword Emperor-Chapter 843 - 844 Assassin

"What happened? Gu Heng? How did you get so badly injured?"

This man, considered a young genius of the Gu family, arrived with Gu Jin. Seeing the injuries, his eyes turned extremely grave as he asked a martial artist beside him.

"What happened?"

"Reporting to the Second Miss, Young Master Gu Heng left Ningzhou Ancient City earlier and was attacked by the demon from Nine Devil City. His injuries haven’t healed, and he’s become extremely weak. We’ve used numerous Elixir Pills, but none can restore Young Master Gu Heng’s injuries."

A martial artist resembling a servant hurriedly spoke up beside them.

"Unable to restore the injuries?"

Gu Jin swept her Spiritual Sense over, also discovering the problem with Gu Heng’s body.

This force had already integrated into Gu Heng’s wounds, making it impossible for him to recover at all.

At this rate, even a martial artist in the Life and Death Realm wouldn’t be far from dying.

"This Spiritual Power, I can’t dispel it either."

Gu Jin glanced a few times, realizing clearly that if the heavily injured person were her, she would have no solution either.

This kind of Spiritual Power wasn’t something she could dissolve.

"I will go get Father here."

Gu Jin gathered Spiritual Power, and a Jade Talisman formed in front of her. Just as this Jade Talisman was cast out,

Suddenly, a chill surged through Chu Fengmian’s heart.

Just as Gu Jin gathered Spiritual Power,

The Gu Heng lying on the ground suddenly leaped up. From his palm, he gripped a black dagger and fiercely thrust it towards Gu Jin.

"Assassin!"

The two words suddenly emerged in Chu Fengmian’s mind.

This Gu Heng had been feigning to be on the ground, waiting for the moment Gu Jin let her guard down to make his move.

In the instant Gu Heng made his move, the essence blood within him ignited. Burning his essence blood, he gathered all his Spiritual Power to integrate into this assassination attempt, intending to kill Gu Jin in a single strike.

"Break for me!"

In that fleeting moment, Gu Jin didn’t even have time to react, all her attention on the newly condensed Jade Talisman.

But what she didn’t expect was that at this moment, the seemingly half-dead Gu Heng lying on the ground suddenly launched an assassination attempt at her. Moreover, Gu Heng’s strength had suddenly reached the pinnacle of the Life and Death Realm.

No, this wasn’t Gu Heng anymore, but had already been replaced by someone else. freēnovelkiss.com

An assassin, disguised as Gu Heng, infiltrated the Gu family to lure Gu Jin over for this one-strike kill.

"The Way of Assassination, interesting."

As the assassin struck, a few traces of surprise appeared in Chu Fengmian’s eyes. The assassin used the Way of Assassination in that instant.

Assassination was a practice many martial artists had attempted, but it hardly qualified as the Way of Assassination.

In Ancient Times, there was a group of people who specialized in assassination, creating the Way of Assassination. It’s said that supreme experts trained in it could cross entire Realm levels to assassinate enemies.

They, akin to pinnacle Saint figures, could assassinate martial artists at the peak of the Life and Death Realm.

This was unimaginable, yet truly occurred in that era.

However, this Way of Assassination disappeared thousands of years ago. Chu Fengmian had only read about it in ancient texts and never witnessed it firsthand. Seeing it now, Chu Fengmian realized this was indeed an assassin skilled in the Way of Assassination.

In the Nine Domains, the Way of Assassination has appeared once more.

"Die!"

The assassin’s face twisted in a grimace, eyes filled with murderous intent and frenzy while staring at Gu Jin. He had infiltrated the Gu family, intending to assassinate Gu Jin, unafraid of death and bordering on madness.

However, no one could kill in front of Chu Fengmian, especially since Gu Jin had indirectly helped him. Chu Fengmian certainly wouldn’t let her die.

"Your Way of Assassination is impressive, but I’m curious about its origins."

Chu Fengmian suddenly moved, stepping in front of Gu Jin. With a wave of his hand, he directly knocked the dagger from the assassin’s grip.

"Damn it!"

The assassin hadn’t anticipated anyone appearing at such a crucial moment.

Now, with the Gu family head absent, it was the best chance to assassinate Gu Jin, but Chu Fengmian’s emergence disrupted all his plans.

"Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique! Escape!"

The assassin’s body suddenly exploded, and a black Tunneling Light shot from his form, flying directly out of the Gu family.

"Trying to escape?"

Chu Fengmian laughed coldly. With a wave of his hand, he caught the black Tunneling Light in his palm, revealing the assassin as a small-framed man, no longer resembling Gu Heng.

Despite the small frame, the man exuded a terrifyingly strong murderous aura. Anyone sensing it would feel a chill, a murderous intent borne from countless killings.

"Who dares to assassinate my daughter in the Gu family!"

The furious voice of the Gu family head suddenly roared out. The sky above the Gu family split apart as he materialized from it, his face full of extreme anger.

The last time Gu Jin left Ningzhou Ancient City, she nearly died at the hands of the Blood Sword Demon Venerable, already causing the Gu family head immense regret.

Now, within the Gu family itself, someone dared to attempt to assassinate his daughter, fueling his rage.

"Thank you, Mr. Chu. Our Gu family will certainly repay your great kindness."

The Gu family head looked at Chu Fengmian and quickly expressed his gratitude.

"No problem, Family Head Gu. Let’s first look into the assassin’s origin."

Chu Fengmian spoke calmly.

This assassin, skilled in the Way of Assassination, piqued Chu Fengmian’s interest, making him want to uncover the assassin’s identity.

"Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, this assassin surely hails from Nine Devil City! Tell me, how many of your Nine Devil City people remain in my Ningzhou Ancient City?"

The Gu family head looked at the assassin and roared in anger.

If not for Chu Fengmian suppressing the assassin, the Gu family head might have crushed him on the spot, but Chu Fengmian feared this would happen and thus contained the assassin himself.

Wishing to extract the assassin’s true identity, he wouldn’t let the assassin die so easily.

The assassin, caught by Chu Fengmian, showed no fear but rather sheer madness, yelling loudly.

"Hmph! What Nine Devil City! Let me tell you, I am from the Six Paths Demon Sect! Before long, we, the Six Paths Demon Sect, will take over the entire Central Domain, and your Ningzhou Ancient City will fall into our hands too!"
