The leading man has reached the Spiritual Transformation Realm, his face is covered with a black cloth, and he has a pair of cold and calm eyes. In all likelihood, he is also a death warrior.
It is easy to find a death warrior in the Innate Realm, but it is difficult to find one in the Spiritual Transformation Realm. I don’t know how much resources will be spent to train such a death warrior. It is far less cost-effective than training a disciple with a flexible mind.
For a family as big and powerful as the Huangji Sect, the limit is the number of innate realm death warriors. Unless there is a special need, resources will never be wasted on such a place.
Therefore, Lu Bei felt honored to meet this assassin and began to doubt Hu San's previous statement.
The assassination was not an assassination, it was just to teach a lesson.
Is there a possibility that it was indeed an assassination, and the Western Palace was affected by the delay in intelligence and misjudged the true realm of the two brothers.
You know what, the possibility is very high, especially for him. It is estimated that in the Western Palace, the strength of the two purple guards of Ningzhou is written as innate and the other as transformed.
"That's not right. If we really investigate it carefully, I have the ability to kill those in the Void Refining Realm when I was in the Spiritual Transformation Realm. The Royal Extreme Sect knows this very well. It shouldn't be difficult for the Western Palace to find out this."
Lu Bei muttered to himself, dispersing his mind with doubt, and after a moment he suddenly realized.
He chuckled, feeling more justified in his conscience, and after his assassins had formed up, he walked out of the pavilion with his sword in hand.
Under the cover of night, golden light and shadows interweaved in all directions, and one after another afterimages chopped down with a straight knife. After chopping down a group of dead warriors, the golden afterimages moved forward and overlapped one by one, and finally converged into one place.
Lu Bei shook off the red blade and raised his eyebrows to look at the shadow of the courtyard wall: "Don't hide. I've explored that bush before. I remember clearly how many imperial robes and jade seals could be buried in a few trees and grasses."
As soon as the words fell, a shadow twisted in the darkness of the courtyard wall, a big tree disappeared without a trace, and in its place, a woman with a masked face appeared.
She has a decent figure, lively eyes and a pretty good-looking face.
"What a useless official you are! The lineage of King Dong is certainly not good people, but you deserve to die." The woman said coldly.
"If saying this can make you feel better when swinging the knife, Lu will not refute it."
Lu Bei chuckled: "Hurry up, while it's still light and there's still some time before the rooster crows, after you and I finish the gesture, let's do something fun."
Dog official!
The foul language made the woman's murderous intent surge. She opened her own little world in an instant, and icy cold air descended, blowing directly at Lu Bei, who had a strange look on his face.
He had seen this technique before. It was the Hanquan Forbidden Scripture, one of the Ten Wonders of the Upper Palace of the Huangji Sect. Zhu Qilan practiced this technique before he obtained the Western Jade Emperor Sutra.
There was nothing much to say about the result. Zhu Qilan was depressed for quite a while.
Lu Bei was familiar with the killing moves of the Cold Spring Forbidden Codex, and he also had the natural counter to the Taiyin Killing Power Dao, so he could use this skill to deal with him...
This is a free rhythm!
So the question is, who is this assassin's relative? Is she his cousin or niece
Lu Bei was lost in thought in the cold wind. The woman saw him and sneered in her heart. Extremely cold air flowed through her fingertips: "You dog official, do you have any last words?"
have.
You talk too much nonsense, this is not what a villain does!
Lu Bei took a deep breath and said, "During the day, the West Palace tried to assassinate my elder brother. Why didn't you show up? If it was you, my elder brother wouldn't have only been seriously injured. He would have at least lost half his life."
Fox Three has an extraordinary bloodline. When he is in the Dan stage, he can defeat the Xiantian stage, and when he is in the Xiantian stage, he can defeat the Shenhua stage. When he reaches the Shenhua stage, he can't say how many moves he can withstand from Lianxu's hands, but with Fox Two's long legs, it will be difficult for Lianxu to kill him.
"Catch them all in one fell swoop and eliminate the trouble forever."
The woman replied calmly: "I will kill you first, and then send your brother down to accompany you."
She didn't take action during the day because she couldn't find Lu Bei's whereabouts. Based on the principle of double kill, she sent someone to assassinate Hu San first to lure Lu Bei out.
Sure enough, as soon as the action started, Lu Bei showed up over there.
"I see. He is so lucky to have a brother like me."
Lu Bei sighed with emotion. Rounding it off, he saved Hu San's life. If it was the eldest sister, wouldn't it be...
He shook his head to dispel the strange thoughts in his mind, narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman, his gaze swept across a few arcs, sneered, and constantly provoked the other party's anger.
The next second, a fist filled with icy cold air rapidly enlarged in front of him and hit him directly in the face.
This punch was extremely lethal. If nothing unexpected happened, a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator would be turned into ice powder on the spot after being hit by this punch. A Void Refining Realm cultivator would also feel that cold air had entered his body, sealing off all the important acupoints and meridians in his body and limiting the speed of his physical movement.
Lu Bei had no intention of getting punched to show off. Considering that she was his relative and the woman was very likely acquainted with Zhu Qilan, he held back 80% of his strength when he fought back.
Hard against hard, fist against fist, with a bang, the frosty fist collided with each other.
With a muffled sound, the cold air rolled back and the silver thread disintegrated into no shape.
The woman's cold eyes were filled with fear for a moment as she watched helplessly as the tremendous force flowed into her arm along the tip of the fist, shattering her entire arm bone and breaking her shoulder bone and sternum.
BANG!!
The woman flew backwards and fell more than ten meters away. She supported her body with one arm and looked around in horror.
It’s her little world for sure!
Then the question is, how could someone be knocked down by just one punch when he is in his own little world
"Who are you? You are not Ningzhou Purple Guard!"
"Always."
Lu Bei put away the Exiled Immortal's Breath-Concealing Skill, demonstrated his strength at the Void Refining Realm, raised the knife above his head, and swung it down fiercely.
The scorching white sword light stretched out into the distance and split the woman's small world in half with one strike, severely injuring her soul while kindly answering her doubts.
Around the small world that was split into two halves, a huge phantom slowly took shape. The sky was high and the earth was vast, the full moon was hanging high in the sky, and the light of the stars radiated the power of the four symbols.
The woman rolled over to avoid the sword, but was not as fast as the sword. Her severely injured boneless arm was broken at the shoulder, and large amounts of bright blood gushed out.
She didn't bother to stop the bleeding, her eyes staring at the vast sky in horror. When she came to her senses, Lu Bei had already come to her with a knife.
Under the moon, a face was clearly in shadow, but the sword in his hand was always shining with a cold light.
The next moment, the straight knife swept across and the head flew up.
[You defeated Zhu Qiming and gained 4 million experience points]
Lu Bei raised his hand to wipe away the blood drops on the blade, then tried to activate the Blood Nest. He was not disappointed when he failed to steal any skills. He closed his small world and looked in the direction of the temporary government office.
In the divine sense, two groups of assassins acted separately. One group split up in front of the prison, and the other group tried to ambush Fox Three but failed, and was counter-ambushed. They also split up in no time.
Without the suppression of Lu Bei's small world, the woman's body continued to rupture, joints grew at the shoulders of her broken arms, and a human head looked up at the sky in shock and anger.
It is difficult to kill the soul of a cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm, so there is no need to kill him while he is still hot, you can just use his head as soon as it is connected.
“Hehehe…”
…
Yizhou, Changming Prefecture.
Lu Bei climbed over the wall with a sack on his back, and took advantage of the formation's inattention to force his way through and reach the inner courtyard.
In the study, Zhu Qilan raised her eyebrows, put down the book in her hand, and thought to herself that the dead man finally kept his promise and did not stand her up tonight.
Butler Yu covered his mouth and laughed secretly. He was not afraid of Zhu Qilan's glare. He smiled and picked up the teapot to refill half a cup.
At the same time, don't forget to add another cup and put it on the desk.
As if she thought of something, she became playful and swapped the positions of the two teacups in front of Zhu Qilan.
Zhu Qilan: “…”
At this time, Lu Bei couldn't find anyone in the bathroom, so he came to the study room, threw down the sack in his hand, picked up the teacup and drank it down in gulps, saying happily: "Good tea, no worse than the special tea provided by my leader, but it's a little sweeter, did you add honey?"
"Maybe, some people have honey in their mouths." Butler Yu said meaningfully.
"Bai Yu understands me. Besides his strengths, his only thing is his nice words." Lu Bei nodded repeatedly. As expected of someone who came from the palace, he always spoke nicely. It was a pity that he chose the difficult mode when he was reincarnated, otherwise he would at least be a prime minister.
Zhu Qilan's eyes twitched, and he looked at the sack that Lu Bei had thrown aside, frowning and asking, "Who's in there? Is he the fugitive on the list?"
"Not yet. Cousin, just say a word and she will be."
Lu Bei sighed, "You may not believe this, but when I was watching the moon in Dongwang County, this man led hundreds of assassins to ambush. If I hadn't had some skills, I wouldn't have been able to see you tonight, cousin."
Who is so pessimistic
Zhu Qilan looked puzzled and somewhat unconvinced.
"Not only that, the attacker has big plans. Not only does he want to kill me, but he also wants to kill another Purple Guard of Ningzhou, my eldest brother."
Lu Bei told the story truthfully, and ended sadly: "What a pity, they were just one step away from killing my eldest brother. Really just one step away. If a cultivator from the Void Refining Realm had come out personally..."
"Stop talking nonsense. Even if you say that, I won't kill your brother."
Zhu Qilan interrupted Lu Bei's nonsense, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then shone with a cold light, shattering the sack and revealing Zhu Qiming's figure.
Her hands and feet were tied behind her back, a rag that looked like a smelly sock was stuffed in her mouth, one clean arm was naked, her clothes were stained with blood, her hair was messy, and her face was frighteningly pale. Looking at her...
This is the victim.
Zhu Qilan remained silent. He could not say that the victim looked familiar, but he had seen him several times at clan gatherings. As they were both practicing the Hanquan Forbidden Scripture and were of the same generation, they had many common topics and had a very happy chat at the time.
"She... is my cousin Zhu Qiming. Tell me the truth. What do you mean by bringing her to see me?"
Zhu Qilan had a bad eye. Her cousin Zhu Qiming was born decades earlier than her and had once given her some guidance in cultivation. She had a good impression of this cousin. If Lu Bei didn’t make things clear today, don’t blame her…
Anyway, let’s make things clear first!
"The raid on the East Palace caused the West Palace to mistakenly believe that Your Majesty was reducing the power of the feudal lords. They did not dare to act recklessly towards Your Majesty, but they were afraid that Your Majesty would push too hard, so they attacked me and my elder brother."
Lu Bei confessed honestly, and added at the end: "Cousin, do you have any information about the West Palace? What is the family status of this cousin? How much can she be sold for?"
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by mistakenly thinking that Your Majesty was reducing the power of the princes? Wasn't that the case at the beginning?" Zhu Qilan was extremely surprised.
"Of course not. I confiscated the property just to make money. I buried the imperial seal and framed the East Prince's Mansion for treason. As the confiscating continued, Your Majesty thought there was money to be made, so he joined in."
"…" x2
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"That's not what you said last time!"
"It's almost the same, none of them are good anyway."
