Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 400: Working Together to Slay the King!

But in the blink of an eye.

Li Qingyuan then realized the key to it.

It shouldn't be because of the Shadow Assassins' failure in Pure Snow City...

After all, even in a relatively "small place" like the Canglan Continent, assassination missions cannot be completed;

This is undoubtedly a huge disgrace for the Shadow Assassins organization, which has always been known for its professionalism and efficiency.

They will definitely try their best to suppress this matter and prevent the scandal from spreading, so as not to damage their reputation.

At the same time, they will continue to send people to hunt him down all over the Canglan Continent in order to save face.

Therefore, the people appearing before us must be inextricably linked to the Yu family.

The Yu family must have spared no expense to hire the Shadow Assassins organization to meticulously plan this assassination, all in an effort to eliminate this major threat...

Although my thoughts were as numerous and complex as a surging tide, in reality only two breaths had passed.

......

At that very moment, all that could be heard was:

"Boom——"

"call out......"

Two deafening sonic booms suddenly rang out, as if the heavens and earth were roaring in anger.

Then, the black-robed cultivator, wielding a short blade, charged forward like a ghost, seemingly making a final stand.

The short blade in his hand gleamed with a cold, eerie light.

At this moment, it is frantically emitting a sinister and terrifying aura, as if it wants to devour everything around it.

At the same time, the golden palm prints, like towering mountains, descended from the sky with earth-shattering power.

The jade-colored arrow, like a shooting star piercing the darkness, hurtled towards them with unparalleled ferocity.

These two powerful forces were incredibly oppressive, seemingly intent on burying the black-robed cultivator completely in this endless attack.

......

Upon seeing this, Li Qingyuan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his mind raced like lightning.

With a thought, the Dragon Abyss Sword flew back to his side in an instant, like a streak of light piercing the sky.

The sword hummed, as if awaiting a baptism of blood and gore.

Then, he transmitted his voice using a secret method that only Wang Anran could hear:

"An Ran, I will do my best to break through his defenses. You should seize the opportunity and make your move."

"Let's try to kill him in one fell swoop, and not give him any chance to breathe..."

Upon hearing this, a resolute glint flashed in Wang Anran's beautiful eyes, and she nodded secretly.

Her nerves were instantly on edge, her mind as focused as a fully drawn bowstring.

Then, she saw the Dragon Abyss Sword under the divine control of Li Qingyuan's mind.

Like a cannonball, it shot out at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

......

In an instant, a storm of sword energy arose like a raging torrent, sweeping across the heavens and earth.

At this moment, the wind that was omnipresent in the world seemed to be awakened by the Dragon Abyss Sword.

Every gust of wind seemed to conceal a sharp sword, carrying an incomparably fierce momentum, tearing through space, and moving like a ghost to kill.

This is the killing move of the third move of the "Gentle Breeze Sword Technique"!

The first two moves of the Qingfeng Sword Technique are both related to "seeing the wind," aiming to help practitioners understand and become familiar with the use of the wind, and feel its gentleness and agility.

But starting from the third move, we enter a completely new realm – “Borrowing the wind”!

Cultivators borrow the omnipresent wind of heaven and earth to make their swords omnipresent and all-pervasive, arriving with the wind.

The wind blows, the sword remains.

The sword and the wind merge into one, becoming the sharpest existence in the world.

......

Wang Anran was caught in the instant the Dragon Abyss Sword shot out like lightning!

Her jade-like hands drew the bow and nocked the arrow with lightning speed, her movements fluid and seamless.

Three jade-colored arrows suddenly shot out, like three meteors slicing through the darkness, carrying earth-shattering power.

As they streaked through the air, they produced a sonic boom as loud as thunder.

It seemed as if the boundaries of this world had been broken, arriving in an instant at a speed that transcended time and space!

Each arrow gleamed with a chilling light, containing boundless killing intent, aiming to pierce the shadow completely!

......

------

As the dark figure opposite him, clad in a wide black robe, resisted the relentless, overwhelming palm strikes, the figure seemed to be on the verge of a raging river.

It rang out with a clanging sound, its clothes fluttering wildly, as if it would be torn to shreds by that powerful force at any moment.

He was drenched in sweat, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead and soaking his clothes.

He never expected that the countless golden palm prints in the sky would seem endless.

The rain kept falling from the sky like a torrential downpour, each strike carrying overwhelming power, aiming to smash him into a pulp!

He naturally fought back with all his might, his fists flailing like the wind, trying to block the onslaught of attacks.

However, this cultivator's strength actually exceeded Li Qingyuan's expectations.

He was the weakest among them, only at the early stage of the first level of the King Realm.

However, it was precisely because he was slightly weaker that he was arranged to launch a surprise attack from behind, hoping to catch him off guard and succeed in one fell swoop.

But now they are stuck in a stalemate due to the opponent's heavy blows, as if they are trapped in an invisible quagmire, unable to move forward or backward.

Beneath the black robe, the face was covered in sweat and solemn, with a hint of fear and despair in the eyes.

He simply couldn't believe that he was facing a cultivator at the peak of the Earthly Fiend Realm!

But it was able to unleash such terrifying power that it threw him into a panic and completely lost his composure.

The most basic quality of an assassin is to retreat if the first strike fails!

At this moment, however, he was filled with horror, and his mind was in complete chaos.

For a moment, they were only focused on desperately defending against the storm-like attacks.

No one noticed that the Dragon Abyss Sword and the three jade-colored arrows were hurtling towards them at the speed of light, like the scythe of death!

......

------

When the cultivator finally realized the deadly crisis approaching like a leech clinging to his bone.

An overwhelming sense of despair welled up inside me. I wanted to turn back, but it was too late.

The Dragon Abyss Sword seemed to have transformed into the master of the wind between heaven and earth, carrying a fierce, frost-like sword aura storm that moved with the wind.

Wherever the sword energy storm passed, space was shattered and torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound, like a death lament.

It was omnipresent, like a shadow, tightly enveloping the cultivator, leaving him nowhere to hide.

It was as if they were trapped in a cage woven from sword energy, unable to escape even a step.

But that cultivator was, after all, a ruthless character in the Shadow Assassin organization who had gone through countless life-and-death trials. He was merciless to his enemies and showed no mercy to himself either.

At this critical moment.

A soul form exactly like his slowly emerged from his head; that was his primordial spirit.

The primordial spirit emanated a cold, eerie light, like a ghost from another mysterious world.

This is the divine soul that only cultivators at the King Realm begin to cultivate.

Once you reach the King Realm, it becomes extremely difficult to completely kill your opponent.

Not only must their physical body be completely destroyed, but their soul and spirit must also be buried.

Only in this way can the other party truly be reduced to ashes and completely disappear from this world.

At that moment, the black-robed cultivator was driven to a dead end.

He gritted his teeth and decided to abandon his hard-earned physical body and escape with his primordial spirit, hoping for a glimmer of hope!

......

------

However, that cultivator was clearly too naive and had overly optimistic ideas.

Just as his primordial spirit left his body.

Three jade-colored arrows, like three bolts of lightning slicing through the darkness, hurtled through the sky with earth-shattering power.

They gleamed with a chilling light, like the sharp blade in the hand of death, piercing straight into his soul.

The arrow was so fast, like a shooting star chasing the moon, that no one had time to react.

"Boom bang bang-"

The three loud bangs sounded like three angry roars from heaven and earth.

In his panic, the cultivator was completely unable to defend against such a fierce attack.

His primordial spirit, under the fierce impact of these three arrows, was pierced in an instant like fragile glass, turning into countless fragments and dissipating into the air.

As his primordial spirit departed and dissipated, his physical body lost its support and crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

A cultivator at the first level of the King Realm should be a lofty and unparalleled being in this world.

Unexpectedly, he was killed by two cultivators whose cultivation level was lower than his own.

He probably never imagined this day would come!

But reality presented itself so brutally, ruthlessly shattering all his illusions and leaving only a poignant silence.
