182: Assassination of Shen Xi

“Maybe I was overthinking it!”

Shen Xi shook his head, pushing the feeling to the back of his mind.

Chen Fang was right; the Tower of the Heavens was about to open, and the top priority now was to adjust his state to its Peak.

Only then could he achieve good results in the Tower of the Heavens and obtain better Opportunity.

Unconsciously, night had fallen.

For a Martial Artist, sleeping rough was not a big deal.

Moreover, a Martial Artist's physique far surpassed that of an ordinary person, so such conditions would not cause illness.

Therefore, everyone easily adapted to the environment... On the other side.

Wu Su and Sun Wei, Two People, had already met.

After sensing Wu Su’s combat power, the Deceiver couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

“As expected of a Wu Family descendant, young and promising! In just a few days, your combat power has increased again. You must be only one step away from breaking through to the Xiantian Realm, right?”

As he spoke, a hint of loneliness flashed in the depths of the Deceiver’s eyes.

Although he had successfully infiltrated the Chasing Wind Secret Realm and was not eliminated by its rules, his strength could only stop there.

This was a common problem for every Deceiver.

Due to their age, they had already missed the golden period for rapid strength improvement. Coupled with the Chasing Wind Secret Realm's rules, they could not break through their combat power quickly like young people within the Secret Realm.

Many Deceivers entered the Chasing Wind Secret Realm with a certain strength and left with the same strength. Only with an immense Opportunity could they possibly improve by chance.

Simply put, the existence of Deceivers was merely to collect various resources; they were just tools. They could not grow rapidly in the Chasing Wind Secret Realm like those young talents.

“You’re too kind.”

Wu Su appeared polite, but the pride on his Face was undisguised.

Now his combat power was on par with the Deceiver's. He originally needed to be wary of the other party, but now, there was no need at all.

He was accustomed to a high-and-mighty life and naturally could not lower his posture to the Deceiver.

On the contrary, he looked down on the Deceiver from the bottom of his heart, believing that the other party's status was not equal to his own.

If it weren't for needing the other party's strength to deal with Shen Xi, he would not even bother with a single polite word.

“The waves behind push the waves ahead!”

The Deceiver sighed again.

“Let’s stop with these useless words! I called you here because I found Shen Xi’s whereabouts. He is in front of the Tower of the Heavens, and his combat power has also increased significantly. At the very least, he is capable of crushing those at the Initial Stage of the Acquired Realm. Moreover, he has many companions with him. I am not confident I can kill him, but with you here, this matter becomes much simpler.”

Wu Su said in a commanding tone.

Hearing this, the Deceiver’s expression became a little unnatural.

He was so polite to Wu Su and deliberately flattered him; no matter what, one shouldn't hit a smiling Face, so the other party should at least be a little polite to him, right?

But the result was the opposite: Wu Su immediately adopted a commanding posture, completely disregarding him!

Even if Wu Su’s talent was higher than his own and he was a descendant of the Wu Family, at least for now, his combat power was not inferior to the other party's, yet he was treated this way. This made the Deceiver unhappy.

However, for the sake of Face, the Deceiver did not turn hostile.

He forced a smile and said, “This matter will naturally follow your instructions. Vice City Lord Vice City Lord Jiang Yun has asked me to fully assist you in killing Shen Xi.”

Wu Su nodded in satisfaction: “That’s best. In that case, we will act at dawn. That’s when their vigilance is lowest, and it will be easiest for us to kill him.”

“Furthermore, except for Liu Yiyi and Ye Zirou, none of Shen Xi’s other companions will be spared. A bunch of trash, daring to challenge my authority!”

Wu Su had already planned everything.

Even the timing of the attack was meticulously considered.

As for whether the Deceiver would cooperate, he was not worried. If the other party dared to disobey, he could use the Wu Family’s power at any time to ensure the Deceiver died without a burial place.

He could kill that bastard Shen Xi soon!

At this thought, Wu Su trembled with excitement.

He already hated Shen Xi to the bone. No one had ever dared to challenge his authority and escape unscathed.

But Shen Xi had escaped twice already; this time, he was determined not to give the other party a chance.

And once Shen Xi was dead, Liu Yiyi would be his.

Not only Liu Yiyi, but even Ye Zirou, he could seize.

During his time in Zhu Feng City, Wu Su had already thoroughly investigated Shen Xi and his group.

Especially Ye Zirou; after seeing her portrait, he felt a surge of Evil Fire (evil fire) in his lower abdomen.

Her appearance was definitely not inferior to Liu Yiyi's, and the two women’s temperaments were distinctly different, each having her own charm.

Before getting Liu Yiyi, using Ye Zirou as a transition (transition) would also be a beautiful thing.

“Heh heh, Shen Xi, the moment the sun rises will be your death. Blame yourself for offending me, for contacting people you shouldn't have.”

Wu Su muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the east.

As soon as the first ray of sunlight fell, it would be the moment for him and the Deceiver to strike at Shen Xi.

Time passed bit by bit.

Wu Su and the Two People had already left the mountain Peak, quietly approaching the Tower of the Heavens.

To avoid attracting the attention of other Martial Artists and causing a commotion, which would alert Shen Xi in advance, Wu Su even took out a treasure to conceal his whereabouts.

Thus, without attracting anyone's attention, the Three People had stealthily approached within fifty meters of the Tower of the Heavens.

And this was the limit of how close the Three People could get.

After all, the surroundings were filled with powerful individuals at the Initial Stage of the Acquired Realm, so it was best not to advance rashly, just in case.

However, this distance was already sufficient.

With the Three People's strength, they could reach Shen Xi in an instant, catching him off guard.

Finally, the first ray of sunlight fell.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

Wu Su and the Deceiver attacked simultaneously.

A furious roar instantly echoed through the sky.

The sudden sound caused many people to be shocked.

“What happened?”

“Who wants to kill someone?”

“Damn it! Who are these Two People, and when did they get within fifty meters of the Tower of the Heavens?”

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

It wasn't until the Two People spoke that they discovered their whereabouts.

This filled them with lingering fear. If the Two People’s target had been themselves, they might have died at the hands of the Two People without even realizing it.

This fear of brushing past death made their hair stand on end.
