I have an endless army of warriors, rampaging across the heavens.

Chapter 144 With a little trick, I'll take them down in one fell swoop.

Level 8 assassins have four times the base stats, and with the Lone Wolf perk triggered by Solitary Walk, their stats increase by another 1, reaching five times the base stats.

Extremely strong endurance.

Run fast.

In critical moments, one can activate 'Blood Burning' again, with three stages, up to a maximum of +3 to one's attributes, reaching eight times the attribute, comparable to an eighth-tier master.

Looking across the Great Yan Dynasty, even in this new era, where most Descendants are now at the twelfth rank, this strength is more than enough to travel between the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

after all.

The main purpose was to guard against thieves along the way.

It was not to guard against those who would descend.

"The Descendants are generally at the 12th rank. If you really run into one, even a level 10 assassin fighting alone will only be dead."

If you encounter an invading force, simply surrender.

Afterwards, Zuo Jing will dispatch thousands of elite soldiers to seek justice.

That's another situation altogether.

Excluding this factor, level eight assassins are more than enough.

However, once the blood is burned, the first and second stages are weak, and the third stage is death. It is difficult to move forward and can only dig the soil in place to recover, with no ability to protect itself.

Therefore, Zuo Jing set up an observation point every twenty or thirty miles along the route, and stationed three assassins there.

Once the enemy is weakened and helpless after burning blood, three assassins will quickly come to their aid. One of them will stay behind to look after the assassin who has broken out, while the other two will continue to transport the cultivation fruit together.

Ensure safety.

Ensure efficiency.

At the same time, it can also ensure that the Peiyuan Fruit is not lost to the greatest extent.

This time, the assassins at the observation point first played another role, which was also their primary duty—

"observe!"

Wang Yi is currently positioned between the sixth and seventh observation points along this route.

Zuo Jing quickly approached the six observation points ahead.

as predicted.

"There really are Descendants tracking us!"

"And it stayed with me the whole time and never got lost!"

Zuo Jing immediately possessed the body of a low-level assassin at the Seventh Observation Point.

This observation point is located on a protruding platform halfway up the mountain, offering a clear panoramic view of an unobstructed scree slope below. Anyone passing by is bound to see it.

Zuo Jing stared wide-eyed.

Soon.

I saw Wang Yi run across the scree slope following the predetermined route.

after that.

A little while later.

really!

Zuo Jing finally saw a woman with a heroic and valiant stride, yet incredibly light and agile, easily following Wang Yi from a distance.

She couldn't see Wang Yi from her position at all, and she was far behind him, yet she managed to stay close and never lose him.

"What kind of skill is this?"

Sakyo was shocked.

He looked closely and saw the woman fly by at high speed.

But Zuo Jing recognized him—

"is her!"

……

"Wen Xiao!"

"It's actually her!"

"It really was Yao Shu who caused this trouble!"

Zuo Jing guessed correctly!
Correct!
now it's right.

That's right, Yao Shu seems much smarter than her sister, how could she so easily give the black fruit to 'Cheng Yaojin'?

The case has been solved.

However, Zuo Jing speculated: "Yao Shu and others' actions of tampering with and tracking may not be because they are reluctant to part with the level 12 cultivation fruit, but more likely because they want to uncover more about the underground meeting."

even--

"Perhaps it's for that so-called 'secret technique'!"

The so-called 'secret technique' is actually 'blood burning'.

Zuo Jing knew from the beginning that the 'blood burning' of the high-level assassins would be absolutely explosive.

One section was okay, not very obvious.

However, in the second and third stages, their height and physique increase dramatically, and their expressiveness is simply too strong.

So Sakyo had been keeping it a secret all along.

It wasn't until the Yan army sealed off the city that the truth was revealed.

Once it's exposed, it can't be hidden anymore.

Zuo Jing, of course, knew the ins and outs of this; he knew that this was the 'blood-burning' talent of a high-ranking assassin, something that others couldn't learn.

But others don't know!

"Those who descended probably thought it was some kind of divine skill!"

"Besides 'training techniques,' the only thing that those high and mighty descendants would value in the Underground Society is 'blood burning.'" Zuo Jing knew that this technique would be coveted sooner or later. In the past, no one in the Great Yan Dynasty could even think about it, and no one or any force could pose a threat to the Underground Society.

Now, we have it.

But this time.

"Why was Wen Xiao able to catch up?"

"What did they rely on?"

Zuo Jing was on high alert.

His usually infallible "underground escape technique" failed for the first time.

Fortunately, he was very cautious throughout his life. Even though his 'tunnel escape technique' was successful every time, he never believed in superstition. He also set up observation points along the way. If they weren't needed on ordinary days, he would have his assassins dig in the ground. They really came in handy at critical moments!
"Wen Xiao must have special methods."

"Perhaps Yao Shu tampered with the Peiyuan Fruit."

"Or perhaps Wen Xiao has cultivated some unique technique."

But Zuo Jing couldn't guess.

He went to question Yao Xi, who was brought to tears and kept saying she didn't know.

I guess they really don't know.

But it doesn't matter.

"This Wen Xiao, at the twelfth level, thinks he's invincible in the mortal world. Such arrogance is a death sentence for him!"

It’s okay if you don’t know.

Since Zuo Jing discovered it in advance, there was no reason for them to sit idly by.

"I'll use a little trick to take them down in one fell swoop."

As for how to set up the ambush, that's too simple!

……

"damn thing!"

"He can really run!"

Wen Xiao tracked Wang Yi relentlessly for three days and three nights.

She has mastered cultivation, possesses extraordinary endurance and boundless energy, and can sustain low-intensity running like this for ten days and ten nights.

It's not enough for it to just be able to run.

If you want to follow someone without being detected, it's best to follow them from a distance.

But if they're too far away, it's easy to lose them.

This is a dilemma.

But Yao Shu has a secret method that allows Wen Xiao to lock onto those three Qi-cultivating fruits.

At this moment, even if they are three to five miles apart, they can be easily sensed and locked onto.

After locking.

Track all the way.

This followed them for seven days and seven nights.

Seven days later.

It was the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month in the eleventh year of the Daye era.

The end of the year is really getting closer and closer.

Wen Xiao has no concept of Chinese New Year.

Coincidentally, there were no assassins either.

This day.

Wen Xiao's steps already showed signs of fatigue.

Although she could run for ten days and ten nights, that was her limit.

Having run for seven days and seven nights, exhaustion is inevitable.

"What a bastard!"

"He can really run!"

When no one else is around, Wen Xiao doesn't pretend. Her mouth is as sweet as honey, and she keeps saying things like "son of a bitch" and "little old man." Her mouth is really dirty.

She knew that the person transporting the Peiyuan Fruit had been replaced, but the underground society could make changes in advance, while she had no choice but to endure it.

At this time, Wen Xiao's physical strength and energy were declining, but fortunately she could still persevere.

Following Wang Yi, they arrived at a canyon. The canyon was flanked by two walls, about 20 meters wide and over 100 meters high. It was winding and long, about 17 or 18 miles long, and extremely dangerous.

Wang Yi passed first.

Not long.

Wen Xiao arrived.

She was highly skilled and daring, but had very little experience leading troops. She never expected that this place was the perfect ambush spot, and she rushed in headfirst.

A fierce wind howled at the top of the canyon.

Below, however, all was calm.

The strong winds overhead carried away the scent, and Wen Xiao did not detect any danger.

She reached the middle of the canyon.

"put!"

A loud shout was heard, and the next moment, with a rumble, countless large rocks tumbled down from the top of both sides of the canyon.

"Oops!"

There is an ambush!
