175: Chen Fei injured
Chen Qingyun's pupils contracted: "Grandmaster Level Rank 9."
What surprised him wasn't the Man in Black's strength, but that a Man in Black of this strength was actually captured alive by Chen Fei.
Killing and capturing alive are two different matters.
The difficulty of capturing someone alive is infinitely greater.
What Chen Qingyun didn't know was that the Man in Black was controlled by Chi Yu before he even had time to summon his Beast Tamer for an attack.
"Dad, watch him! I'm going to Minister Cheng's place!"
"No problem!"
Over at Cheng Jingjing's side!
The Man in Black did not appear; instead, he let his Beast Tamer transform into a wisp of green smoke and slip through the crack under the door.
This beast was a non-corporeal special Mist Element Beast, truly suitable as an Assassin Class Beast Tamer.
It then attempted to poison Cheng Jingjing without anyone noticing.
Moreover, this method of poisoning makes it hard to leave any substantial evidence, making investigation impossible.
Because Chen Fei had informed her beforehand, Cheng Jingjing was already prepared.
The moment the Element Beast entered, she sensed it.
"Luminous Heavenly Fox, [Holy Light Illumination]!"
[Holy Light Illumination] can dispel negative attributes such as darkness, evil, and Poisonous Mist.
Cheng Jingjing dedicated everything she had to fighting Evil Beasts, making Light Element Yao Beasts extremely necessary.
However, the Poisonous Mist was merely a feint; the real killing move came afterward: [Mirror World Seal].
Caught off guard, Cheng Jingjing was pulled into the Mirror Space.
The Mirror System does not belong to the attributes of the Spirit Taming Continent, and Green Robe Tower Assassins shouldn't possess Mirror System Beast Tamers.
This situation can only mean one thing: either the Green Robe Tower and the Evil Beasts have complex ties, or the Evil Beasts have also been deployed.
Regardless of which it is, Cheng Jingjing must break out of the situation quickly, otherwise, being inside someone else's Domain means constant danger.
"Goo~ Void!"
Little Gu made its move, directly deploying the Void Domain.
Whether it was the Assassin hiding in the shadows, the Mirror System Evil Beast, or Cheng Jingjing, all were turned into nothingness.
Meanwhile, the Mist Element Beast became corporeal and was struck by a Nirvana Needle thrown by the arriving Chen Fei.
"Pain, so painful!"
It was a terrifying thing that a formless Mist Element Beast could actually feel pain.
Having never experienced such a state, the Mist Element Beast fled desperately in terror.
As for the Mirror World, Cheng Jingjing was temporarily safe due to the void.
However, her Etherealized body also caused her a lot of discomfort.
The next second, the Thousand-Faced Mirror Princess and the Assassin hiding nearby were ruthlessly suppressed by Chi Yu.
"I didn't expect the Evil Beasts to come too. It seems this sneak attack was a joint effort between the Green Robe Tower and the Extinction Cult."
"That's right, Chen Fei. I was just about to tell you. There was also a special Etherealization ability used by some Yao Beast, which was terrifying."
Chen Fei chuckled: "Minister, Etherealization was used by my Beast Tamer."
Cheng Jingjing's small mouth parted slightly: "It was yours? That's seriously powerful!"
Cheng Jingjing wasn't afraid of the Thousand-Faced Mirror Princess or the Mist Element Beast, but ending everything so casually was something she knew she couldn't do.
From this moment on, she found Chen Fei somewhat incomprehensible.
Could it be that this guy already has the strength to defeat her?
"Minister, please be careful. I'm going to Minister Xie's place."
Watching Chen Fei's retreating figure, Cheng Jingjing remained unsettled for a long time: If only I had Chen Fei's talent, I could quickly avenge Dad... Chen Fei sped forward because a message came from Ya: "King-rank Assassins have appeared on Xing Shaoshan's side, and the offensive is fierce."
Because of this message, Chen Fei changed course and headed toward Xing Shaoshan's residence.
Suddenly, Chen Fei realized he was locked onto by Killing Intent.
Chen Fei immediately remembered the War Drum Master's words: The High Priest has already contacted the Green Robe Tower to assassinate you and the Baiyue City Ministers.
He himself was one of the targets.
"Whoosh~" A sound of tearing air arrived.
By the time Chen Fei noticed the Hidden Weapon, his body had no time to react.
Fortunately, Little Gu was nearby and immediately deployed the Crystal Shield and Etherealization Domain.
But these were skills deployed only after reacting. The Arrow pierced the Crystal Shield, its trajectory changed, but it still plunged into Chen Fei's arm and exploded.
Instantly, blood flowed profusely, and the wound was a bloody mess.
Chen Fei's face immediately turned pale.
This was the first time he had suffered such a severe injury since his Rebirth.
Sometimes, a sneak attack without summoning a Beast Tamer is more lethal.
Chen Fei finally let out a heavy breath: "King-rank!"
The opponent laughed sinisterly: "I didn't expect you to dodge it. The client repeatedly noted that you should not be underestimated. It seems that is indeed the case."
The Green Robe Tower placed great importance on this first major business deal, so they dispatched two King-rank Assassins.
One was to assassinate Xing Shaoshan, and the other was hiding, ready to assist wherever needed.
As a result, this one discovered the unusual Chen Fei and immediately attacked.
Yet, even under such a sneak attack, Chen Fei still dodged the Fatal Blow.
It was itself a strange occurrence that a King-rank failed to directly kill a Grandmaster Level opponent.
Thinking of this, he quickly changed position and continued to use his Bow and Arrow for sneak attacks.
However, two consecutive Arrows had little effect.
"Go, Concealment Mantis, Dark Night Ghost Shark, Phantom Feilian!"
Seeing that the Bow and Arrow were not very effective, he finally sent out his Beast Tamers.
The Concealment Mantis's Assassin Class Concealment ability is extremely powerful, allowing it to hide itself, blend into the environment, and then seize the opportunity to launch a Fatal Blow.
The Dark Night Ghost Shark possesses Dark System, Soul System, and other attributes, making it most suitable for nighttime operations.
The Phantom Feilian possesses Illusion Class and Shadow System, making it an essential Beast Tamer for sneak attacks.
Compared to Chen Fei's Four Beasts, these three Beast Tamers possessed purer Assassin attributes.
His other two Beast Tamers included one Support-type Beast Tamer and one focused on defense, protecting him.
Even if he didn't send them all out, it was enough. Could three fifth-tier Beasts possibly fail to take down a mere Grandmaster-level Beast Tamer?
Chen Fei's expression also became strange, and then he let out a sinister laugh: "You've missed the best time to kill me. Now it's my turn to act."
He valued his life the most in this lifetime, and for anyone who wanted his life, there was only one choice... to kill them back.
"Wu Yun, prepare!"
After helping Xie Xun, Wu Yun immediately rushed over to assist in the battle, using Shadow Lurking to lurk and prepare for an attack at any moment.
Chi Yu maximized the Tiger Subduing Soul Suppressing Domain to a diameter of 3,000 meters. He didn't believe this King-rank Assassin could escape this range.
Within the Domain, Chi Yu sensed the aura of three King-rank Rank 1 Beast Tamers. The closest one was about 100 meters away.
"That's him. Chi Yu, tell Wu Yun the location."
Immediately after!
[Soul Stripping] and [Guixu Tribulation Lightning] were activated simultaneously.
One targeted the body, one targeted the Soul; neither held back.
A few seconds later, when this person's Soul returned to his body, he only managed to utter one shocked phrase: "How is this possible... there is such a... pervert in the world!"
He then fell to the ground, dead...
