Chapter 95 Assassination
"Should we still make a move? We've been staking out this academy for over two weeks now, there's no need to waste any more time."
"Yes, we were originally ordered to come to Tiandou to gather intelligence, but the Third Prince's words turned our mission as two Soul Kings into assassinating a Soul Venerable. It's really a waste of our talents."
"Judging from what the Third Prince said, this Xiao Yan is the disciple of Master Yan Xiao, who was quite prominent not long ago. Now, he is also a student of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. If he is allowed to develop freely in the future, he may become a Title Douluo of the Heaven Dou Empire. Really, is it that exaggerated? Just because he sees a Soul Venerable, he says that he will grow into a Title Douluo."
"That's right. When I was little, my grandma said I would become a god, but in the end, I couldn't advance any further at the Soul King level."
The two people in the tree were discussing amongst themselves. Because of their companion's martial soul ability, the spies in the shadows were not worried about being discovered by the Soul Emperor.
"Judging from this, these two are probably going to walk all the way to Heaven Dou City. If they come back, the Soul Emperor will probably accompany them. Anyway, your Martial Soul ability should be able to control that Soul Emperor for a while. With this conversation, I'll just kill him quickly, and that'll be the end of it."
"That's not a bad idea either." The other party's companion, hiding in the shadows, nodded. If they didn't make a move soon, this stalemate couldn't go on.
"Later, you will use your Shadow Martial Soul to trap that Soul Emperor, and then I will immediately kill that kid named Xiao Yan."
The two hit it off immediately. After all, they were old friends who had been partners for many years, so they had a good understanding of each other. With the help of their Shadow Martial Souls, they quietly approached Xiao Yan, who was still discussing things with Qin Ming.
Xiao Yan nodded perfunctorily, but compared to Yu Xiaogang's behavior of forcibly stuffing some distorted knowledge into his head a few years ago, Qin Ming still didn't annoy him.
Although he already knew most of what Qin Ming said, it was clear that he genuinely cared about Xiao Yan and hoped that Xiao Yan could learn something from it.
However, at that moment, the rolling beast on his head suddenly let out a cry of alarm.
Xiao Yan immediately turned around and looked around. After leaving the academy, he walked down the mountain path. Right now, he and Teacher Qin Ming had already descended the mountain and had just emerged from the dense forest.
"What's wrong, Xiao Yan?" Qin Ming asked curiously when he saw the other party stop.
Xiao Yan looked up again at the treetops, his gaze landing on the two spies from Xingluo. He then smiled and shook his head at Qin Ming.
"It's nothing, Teacher Qin, maybe I was just imagining things," Xiao Yan said, dispelling the purple aura in his eyes.
He clearly saw two Soul Masters crouching on the two trees. He could sense from the Soul Power emanating from them that their cultivation level was not as high as Qin Ming's.
"Teacher Qin, we're being watched. It should be two Soul Kings," Xiao Yan said, turning around and quietly approaching Qin Ming.
"Don't look back. If you do, they'll know we've already figured it out." Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Qin Ming looked up, but Xiao Yan stopped him.
Qin Ming frowned. Who on earth had the audacity to do this? They had only just left the Heaven Dou Academy. Clearly, this person's actions were aimed at Xiao Yan. Fortunately, he had accompanied him on this trip.
"Since they've been following me, they must be confident they can succeed in taking me down. But it would be best to capture them alive and find out their identities," Xiao Yan continued his analysis. Qin Ming looked at the teenager in front of him with some admiration, impressed that he could remain so calm under such circumstances.
"Alright, when the fight starts, don't leave my side for even a moment. If they really are two Soul Kings, I can't guarantee that I can protect you while dealing with them." Qin Ming nodded.
"What's going on? Did that brat figure us out? Did your soul skill fail?" the scout's teammate complained.
"Impossible, it's just a coincidence. My Shadow Martial Soul has extremely strong concealment capabilities, and with the soul skill I used, this brat just happened to look over. As for you, don't be so startled."
The scouts in the tree were clearly flustered by Xiao Yan's gaze, but given his weak cultivation level, they simply didn't believe that Xiao Yan had discovered them.
"We've already descended the mountain and should be outside the range that the three Soul Douluos from Heaven Dou Academy can detect. As long as we act quickly, they won't be able to arrive immediately."
The two spies exchanged a glance and then prepared to act.
"Speaking of which, Teacher Qin, on the day of the finals, why do you think Bishop Salas suddenly showed up?" Xiao Yan thought it was mostly because of Yan Xiao's reputation, which made Salas have to come to the scene to see the performance of Yan Xiao's disciple, but he also wanted to hear Qin Ming's opinion.
However, the moment he finished speaking, he did not hear Qin Ming's reply; instead, he heard the echo of his own question.
Xiao Yan suddenly looked to his side, only to find that Qin Ming, who had been accompanying him, had disappeared. At the same time, the Koromon on his head leaped to the ground and evolved into Agumon.
"Mental type?" Xiao Yan became alert and used his Purple Demon Eye again. He saw a black mist surrounding him. It was this mist that separated him from Qin Ming. Qin Ming behind him had already activated his Martial Soul, but he was clearly facing thin air.
"Xiao Yan, stay close to me and be careful!" Qin Ming had already sensed the strange martial soul the other party was using, but without the Purple Demon Eye, he obviously couldn't break it immediately.
"Stop asking. Instead of worrying about the Spirit Hall's bishop, you should be more concerned about how you died today."
Two scouts slowly emerged from the black mist, in the direction Xiao Yan was looking to guard.
"I knew this kid was weird, kid. Can you really see us?"
Xiao Yan nodded without hesitation: "Whose people are you, the Spirit Hall, or Dai Mubai?"
"Oh?" The two spies exchanged an amused glance, suddenly understanding why the Third Prince and the Star Luo Royal Family valued a Soul Master so highly.
"You won't talk? Since you came here to kill me, the fact that you dare to show yourself means you're absolutely certain. If that's the case, you won't even let me die knowing why?"
Xiao Yan inquired.
"Heh, you little brat, what you say makes sense, but don't even think about stalling for time and hoping your teacher can break through my shadow to save you. My soul skill can at least hold him off until you die. We are here on the orders of the Third Prince to send you on your way," said the scout of the Shadow Soul.
"Why waste words with him? Just kill him and be done with it. I haven't killed a genius in a long time." As spies planted in Tiandou by the Star Luo Empire, they rarely take action against others unless absolutely necessary.
"So it's Dai Mubai?" Xiao Yan's eyes turned cold.
"However, you're wrong about one thing: I never expected Teacher Qin Ming to come out on his own. On the contrary, I hope he doesn't find out until I've destroyed both of you Soul Kings."
At this moment, the Tyrannosaurus Rex at Xiao Yan's waist emitted light again, covering Agumon's body.
