141: Chapter 141 Shifting the Blame East

Hiding within the Creation Divine Cauldron Space, Baili Yunche clearly saw the situation outside through the spatial barrier.

The silver tokens vaguely visible on the chests of those Black-robed Men, along with their highly recognizable masks, allowed him to instantly confirm their identity.

"Assassins of Yama Hall..." A cold light flashed in Baili Yunche's eyes as he sneered, "Since you are seeking death, I will play a good game with you."

"Baili Yunche, what do you plan to do?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Baili Yunche pondered for a moment, a flash of shrewdness crossing his eyes, and analyzed calmly:

"In a moment, we will secretly lurk near the nest of the Iron-Armed Grey Wolves, and kill an Iron-Armed Grey Wolf at the Golden Core Stage with the fastest speed."

"This will inevitably attract the Wolf King's attention. At that time, we will lead the Wolf King in front of that Nascent Soul Stage assassin, waiting for them to both suffer."

This move was simply killing two birds with one stone.

Not only could they obtain the purple heart lotus, but they could also use the hands of the Iron-Armed Grey Wolf to kill the assassins of Yama Hall!

Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes lit up, admiring Baili Yunche's resourcefulness to the utmost in her heart, but then a trace of worry appeared:

"But that Wolf King is at Nascent Soul Stage Level 5, what if it catches up to us first?"

"Rest assured, with the creation divine cauldron here, at a critical moment we can instantly hide into the space. No matter how fast the Wolf King is, it cannot be faster than a thought."

Baili Yunche smiled confidently.

Looking at his firm gaze, Liu Ruyan's inner worry instantly dissipated, and she nodded heavily: "Alright, I will listen to you."

Afterwards, the two quietly appeared from the Creation Divine Cauldron Space.

They restrained their auras, sneaking like two ghosts, and soon found two sleeping Iron-Armed Grey Wolves.

Those two Iron-Armed Grey Wolves were robust in build, with iron-gray fur, exposed fangs, and snoring like thunder.

Their cultivation was around Golden Core Stage Level 6, and right now they were dozing under a giant rock, completely defenseless.

"Do it!"

Baili Yunche gave a low cry, his figure like lightning.

The two attacked simultaneously, one for each.

Liu Ruyan's qingshuang sword was unsheathed, Sword Qi blooming like a lotus, instantly shredding the head of an Iron-Armed Grey Wolf.

Baili Yunche was even more direct; waving his blazing fire sword, a crimson sword beam slashed past, and the other Iron-Armed Grey Wolf was cut into two sections before it even had time to scream.

"Ahow—!"

The tragic scream of the Iron-Armed Grey Wolf before death was extremely shrill, instantly shattering the tranquility of the valley.

"Boom!"

A towering Demonic Qi erupted from the center of the valley, the ground trembling violently, sending sand and stones flying.

That Iron-Armed Wolf King at Nascent Soul Stage Level 5 suddenly stood up, mad fury burning in its scarlet eyes, howling to the sky.

"Ahow—!"

The wolf howl shook the mountain forest, causing the entire valley to tremble, startling countless birds and causing beasts to flee.

The anger and Killing Intent contained in that sound made one's hair stand on end.

The Nascent Soul Stage assassin also noticed the situation here, his expression changing slightly: "There is movement over there!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he hurried toward the direction where Baili Yunche and Liu Ruyan were located.

After killing the two Iron-Armed Grey Wolves, Baili Yunche and Liu Ruyan did not hesitate at all, turning around and speeding toward the predetermined direction.

However, they had just run a few miles when three black figures appeared ahead, who were precisely the Golden Core Stage assassins searching separately!

"Found you! Baili Yun..."

Before the assassin could finish his sentence, Baili Yunche and Liu Ruyan had already attacked simultaneously.

The qingshuang sword and blazing fire sword intertwined into a net of death light, Sword Qi crisscrossing, fast as lightning.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

The three Golden Core Stage Level 7 assassins didn't even have time to react before their throats were pierced by Sword Qi, blood spraying wildly, and their corpses falling from the air.

"Ah... Ah!"

Screams rose and fell one after another.

Baili Yunche and Liu Ruyan killed all the Golden Core Stage assassins encountered along the way as if cutting melons and vegetables.

Wherever the sword light passed, flesh and blood flew, and there was not a single enemy who could withstand a single blow.

The remaining few assassins did not dare to go up at all; they hid behind trees, trembling all over, their eyes filled with fear, fearing they would follow in the footsteps of their teammates.

"Seeking death!"

At this moment, that Nascent Soul Stage Level 5 assassin leader finally arrived.

Seeing corpses of his own people all over the ground, the face beneath the mask was incomparably furious, and Killing Intent soared around his body.

"Detestable brat, I didn't expect your strength to be so strong!"

The assassin leader's voice was extremely angry.

"The Silver Assassin sent by my Yama Hall last time died under your Revered Master's sword. I thought you would hide in the Sect and be a coward for a lifetime, but I didn't expect you to dare to come out and court death! Today, this seat will personally make a move to see where else you can escape!"

He didn't expect that a mere junior at the Golden Core Stage could kill several Late Stage Golden Core assassins in such a short time.

This child's growth rate was simply shocking!

"Go and die!"

The assassin leader roared, his figure darting out like a ghost, his right hand forming a claw, fiercely grabbing toward Baili Yunche and Liu Ruyan.

"Soul-Locking Ghost Claw!"

A huge black ghost claw condensed out of thin air, entwined with countless grievance-ridden soul phantoms, emitting shrill wails, shrouding down toward the location where the two were.

The might of this claw was enough to smash a small hill into pieces, and what was even more terrifying was the Soul-Locking power contained within it. Once captured, even the Primordial Spirit would be imprisoned!

Baili Yunche's expression changed slightly, and he pulled Liu Ruyan's hand: "Let's go!"

The two executed their movement techniques, their figures turning into two streams of light, speeding toward the direction of the Wolf King's Immortal Cave.

The black ghost claw landed behind them, gouging a huge deep pit in the ground, gravel splashing everywhere.

The two ran wildly all the way, soon arriving at the valley entrance before the Wolf King's Immortal Cave.

Just at the moment when the black ghost claw struck again, Baili Yunche moved his thought, and the two instantly disappeared, entering the Creation Divine Cauldron Space.

"Huh? Where are the people?"

The Black-robed Man lost track of the target, his figure landing at the valley entrance, his gaze scanning around with a face full of doubt.

His Divine Sense spread wildly, but he completely failed to capture the aura of the two, as if they had evaporated out of thin air.

"Strange..."

He muttered softly, a sense of ominous premonition welling up in his heart.

Just at this moment, his expression changed abruptly.

A towering Demonic Qi swept over from behind, accompanied by a deafening roar: "Detestable human, you actually dare to kill my child!"

The Iron-Armed Wolf King had finally arrived!

Seeing the wolf corpses all over the ground at the valley entrance and the bloody smell stained on this Black-robed Man, it instantly poured all its fury onto this person.

In its view, this human was the murderer who killed its clansmen!

"Not good!" The assassin leader was greatly shocked, hurriedly summoning a black shield to resist.

"Boom!"

The Wolf King's huge iron arm smashed down fiercely, and that Tier 3 High Grade black shield was actually smashed until it caved in with a single blow. The assassin leader's figure flew backward, a trickle of blood overflowing from his mouth.

The Iron-Armed Wolf King didn't give him any chance to explain; in its scarlet eyes there was only mad Killing Intent.

It opened its blood-red maw, and a pillar of demonic power as black as ink gushed out, eroding the surrounding rocks into slag.

"Damn it!"

The assassin leader cursed angrily, a blood-colored short blade appearing in his hand, his figure flashing like a ghost, executing Yama Hall's unique movement technique—Netherworld Ghost Step.

His figure turned into several afterimages, shuttling through the valley, attempting to evade the Wolf King's attack.

At the same time, he deployed his Magic Treasure, a blood-colored bell floating above his head, the bell ringing in waves, transforming into invisible sonic wave attacks, attempting to interfere with the Wolf King's Divine Sense.

However, the Iron-Armed Wolf King was a Yao Beast at Nascent Soul Stage Level 5, with an incomparably formidable Physical Body and an extremely solid Divine Sense.

Those sonic wave attacks landed on it like scratching an itch, completely unable to cause substantive damage.
