Invincible!
Chapter 192 Assassination
Chapter 192 Assassination
The two True Fire Realm experts who were nominated this time, one of them called himself Yuan Tong Zhenren.
In the Falling Star Sea, where even Golden Core cultivators have reached their peak, his Sixth Realm True Fire Realm cultivation makes him one of the strongest cultivators.
In addition, he himself was relatively fair in his conduct, and for a century he has sought fame everywhere and is highly respected.
Many independent cultivators, wanting to discuss the Xuanming Sea Eye, naturally approached him.
And he...
I didn't want to offend the true disciples of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, but I've built up a reputation as a renowned figure over the years, and with everyone putting me on a pedestal, I had no choice but to come.
It's a good opportunity to prove one's abilities in front of the true master, and also to lay the groundwork for further building a closer relationship in the future.
The other being, the Six Realms Serene Sea True Man, is quite low-key.
It is said that the fifth-realm cultivator who was killed by Li Xian earlier was his junior brother, which is why he had to stand up and demand an explanation.
However, no one knew that at this moment, surrounded by more than twenty cultivators at the fourth or fifth level, he had only one thing on his mind.
"Six hundred million taels!"
Not long ago, he accepted the bounty from the Heavenly Fiend Demon Sect.
The bounty on Li Xian is a staggering 600 million taels of gold!
This is an enormous fortune that he could never accumulate in his entire life!
With this wealth, he could hope to break through to the elixir of immortality, live for a thousand years, and become a true giant of all time.
Therefore, even knowing that this trip was fraught with great danger, he was still willing to give it a try.
As for seeking justice for those behind him?
Are you kidding me? You've cultivated for hundreds of years and you still don't understand the principle that the strong are respected?
Who cares whether they live or die?
With their own thoughts in mind, the two leaders quickly arrived at Xuanming Island.
Meanwhile, on Xuanming Island, Bai Shao, who had gone to purchase supplies, had already returned.
The inner sect elder, who possessed the cultivation of the fourth realm, had a hint of worry in his eyes: "Master Li, is it really not necessary to ask the sect for help?"
"It doesn't matter."
Li Xian appeared unhurried: "Since they're here, let's resolve this once and for all."
To punish someone without teaching them is cruelty.
He has never been the kind of person who would bully the weak by relying on his strength.
Therefore, he gave these people a month's grace period to make them realize that the Xuanming Sea Eye had an owner, and thus they withdrew on their own.
They didn't even investigate how much Xuanming Heavy Water they had stolen from the Xuanming Sea Eye over the years, or how much profit they had gained.
He can be described as magnanimous.
If they still refuse to leave on their own...
Let's stretch our muscles and bones then.
"Perfect timing... Fu Li's true form has broken through to the fifth level. I wonder how much his defense has improved..."
Li Xianxin thought to himself, and sensing something, he walked out of the main hall.
Behind him, Bai Shao and a few other Dao Realm cultivators followed closely, surrounding him.
"Should we activate the formation...?"
"Need not."
Li waved his hand.
Riding the sword energy of the sun-chasing sword, he soared into the sky.
Upon seeing Li Xian leave the island, a hint of secret joy flashed in Master Jinghai's eyes.
With a wide field of vision in the sky, there's no need to worry about any ambushes.
On the other side, seeing Li Xian take to the air, Master Yuantong felt a little apprehensive, but still stepped forward and said, "Is it Master Li in person? We have met Master Li before, and this is why we have come here..."
"I'm giving you one last chance."
Li Xian looked at the group of more than twenty people and interrupted him directly: "Leave Xuanming Island three thousand miles away now. If you want to come here again in the future, you must report in advance, otherwise... you will be regarded as an intruder and killed without mercy."
This gesture caused Master Yuantong's expression to stiffen slightly.
He was also a little embarrassed.
Although Li Xian was a true disciple of the Immortal Sect, and although he had a great reputation in the Fallen Star Sea, and his combat strength was said to be no less than that of a sixth-realm master cultivator, but...
Ultimately, the two sides differed in their cultivation levels.
Yuan Tong was, after all, a renowned figure in the Fallen Star Sea, second only to the top Golden Core cultivators. He had come specifically for this occasion, his face beaming with smiles, his attitude and manners impeccable, yet…
Li Xian immediately kicked people out upon meeting them!?
Still treating them as intruders? Kill them without mercy?
"Li Zhen's Biography!"
Master Yuantong took a deep breath and said, “We know that you are a true disciple of a major sect and of noble status, but the Xuanming Sea Eye is ultimately the foundation upon which countless families depend for survival. It is too domineering for you to monopolize it without any explanation. Our purpose in coming here is specifically to discuss this matter with you and see if we can come up with a solution that is acceptable to both of us... For example, your Xuanming Island can be responsible for refining the Xuanming Heavy Water into Xuanming Jade? We will pay one or two percent of the cost?”
His words quickly resonated with his fellow attendees.
"Yes, Master Li, our family has three hundred cultivators, and we all rely on the Xuanming Sea Eye for our livelihood. Without the heavy water from the Xuanming Sea Eye, how can we survive?"
"Our Luo family has been established in the Falling Star Sea for over two hundred years, and we have never heard of the Xuanming Sea Eye having an owner."
“Yes, that’s how we’ve been doing all these years. Everyone relies on their own abilities, risking their lives to collect Xuanming Heavy Water from the Xuanming Sea Eye, earning just a tiny bit of profit to make a living. But Li Zhenchuan comes here and wants to take over this treasure land. He’s not giving us a way to survive.”
The other cultivators at the fourth and fifth realms seized the opportunity to speak, creating quite a stir.
Li Xian's gaze swept over each of these cultivators.
A few individuals lurked in the crowd, their eyes gleaming, stirring up trouble.
Some people went along with the trend, seemingly just to watch the excitement, boost their own popularity, and see if they could make a profit.
However, some people were genuinely indignant, seemingly believing that it was Li Xian's fault and wanting to dig up their foundation.
but……
unimportant.
"I gave you a way out, but unfortunately, you didn't choose it." Li Xian's magic power flowed, and a layer of dark golden light appeared on his body. The Sun-Chasing Sword Qi rose rapidly at the first moment, and under the amplification of the sword intent, it was like the rising sun.
"You have chosen your own path to death."
The next moment, the sword intent, condensed to its extreme, slashed down at Yuan Tong Zhenren, who had made the first move.
Amplified by the Ten-Sun Burning Heaven Secret Technique, the dazzling and brilliant light almost completely incinerated the thoughts and will of this sixth-realm True Person.
but……
After all, he was a renowned master who had lived for three or four hundred years, and a sixth-realm cultivator who had ignited the True Fire of the Sun and could refine weapons and pills.
Master Yuantong's foundation was indeed quite profound.
The moment the sword intent struck him, a talisman on his body suddenly burst into flames, abruptly waking him from his mental blank state.
Seeing the sword energy slashing down, he hurriedly activated a crescent-shaped scimitar, spinning it to block, all the while shouting in shock and anger, "Li Zhenchuan, what are you trying to do?!"
"He's going to kill us to silence us! He's really not giving us any way out! We must resist, only by resisting can we survive!"
"Every drop of Xuanming Heavy Water I extracted from the Xuanming Sea Eye was a gamble with my life! You even want to steal the money I risked my life to earn? Are you even human? This is outrageous! Kill! Slaughter Xuanming Island! Kill everyone! I might as well go and join the Demonic Sect!"
"Wait, why are they fighting? Weren't we supposed to be here to negotiate?!"
Exclamations, shouts, astonishment, and panic immediately spread among the twenty-odd people.
Nearly half of the people were caught off guard by this sudden change.
However, half of the people followed suit and attacked at the same time as Li made his move.
Especially Jinghai Zhenren, who accepted the bounty.
The moment Li Xian struck at Yuan Tong Zhenren, a small black sword, only a foot long and resembling gold or a snake, shot out with incredible speed from his hand.
This sword strike was extremely well-hidden.
The attack erupted like a peerless assassin who had been lying in wait for a long time, seizing the most crucial and precious opportunity to deliver a decisive and fatal blow that would determine the fate of the world.
"die!"
Jinghai Zhenren's eyes sparkled with surprise and madness.
The jet-black dagger possessed an elusive and earth-shattering quality.
However, Li Xianjian had achieved a minor mastery of sword intent, and his perception was extremely sharp; he had already discerned something immediately.
Before he could make a move, his vision seemed to shift, and a chilling wind and the howling of ghosts filled the air, chilling and terrifying.
"Pretend to be a ghost!"
Li Xian focused his spirit, and ten blazing suns appeared out of nowhere with the force of scorching the sky and boiling the sea, their endless radiance instantly dispelling this hellish world.
"what!"
With someone's piercing scream, the world before my eyes cleared up again.
But at that moment, the jet-black sword, with terrifying speed and sharpness, shot towards him.
There is no way to avoid it.
Then let's just not avoid it.
Li Xian activated his Chaotic Heavenly Demon Body and Floating Dawn True Body, without even glancing at the Jinghai True Man who had unleashed the sword strike.
Even so, it maintained the sharpness of the Sun-Chasing Sword Qi, shooting towards the crescent-shaped blade hastily slashed out by Master Yuantong.
"boom!"
Amidst the bursts of fire and the scattering of true energy, the hastily summoned crescent-shaped blade was deflected by the sword energy. The remaining sword energy, undiminished in its force, struck Yuan Tong Zhenren's body, bombarding his protective spells.
but……
Ultimately, due to the influence of the illusion, the sharpness of the Sun Chasing Sword Qi was mostly neutralized by the Crescent Moon Blade. The remaining sword qi, although it sent Yuan Tong Zhenren flying backward, did not cause him any serious damage.
"bingo!"
Almost simultaneously with the sword energy striking Zhongyuan Tongzhen, the small, jet-black sword followed and struck Li Xian's throat.
At this moment, an uncontainable joy welled up in Master Jinghai's eyes.
But then...
The joy in his eyes froze.
"clang!"
As the black dagger struck Li Xian's throat, it emitted a thunderous roar.
Visible rings of dark golden light flowed across his skin, vibrating wildly and neutralizing the sharpness contained within the small sword.
Under this extremely high frequency of vibration, the sharpness contained in the black sword, which could be easily penetrated by Taiyi refined gold, was rapidly disintegrated.
Less than a second...
The little sword had almost stopped moving forward because the magic power attached to it had been exhausted.
This blow...
Failed to break through the defense!
Li Xian lowered his head slightly, looking at the small sword that was intended to pierce his throat.
Master Jinghai was also stiff, staring blankly at the natal magic weapon that was stopped in front of Li Xian's throat...
Hidden among the crowd was a demonic cultivator from the Sixth Realm Formless Demonic Sect. Seemingly suffering from the backlash of the illusion technique, his face was deathly pale. He stared wide-eyed at the scene before him.
From instigating these people to cause trouble and openly approaching Li Xian, to using Yuan Tong Zhenren to draw fire first, and then using the bounty to lure Jing Hai Zhenren into a sneak attack, it was all an illusion he used at the crucial moment...
Everything was premeditated.
The purpose was to allow the highly skilled Jinghai Zhenren to deliver this fatal blow with the Black Serpent Sword.
Despite all the scheming and exhaustion, the final result was...
No defense breached!
The atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze at that moment.
