88: He just overestimated his own abilities. The Hall of Rebirth has set its sights on him.
It was a short sword, completely black!
It almost blended with the darkness, making it nearly undetectable.
In an instant!
The short sword flashed out of the night, as if it had pierced through space!
It arrived before Jiang Yi!
A black gleam flashed!
A sword to the throat!
Jiang Yi’s eyes opened and closed, his Divine Sense spreading out, capturing the trajectory of the sword light.
His body remained still, still sitting cross-legged!
Only one hand stretched out, accompanied by a “clanging” sound!
The short sword was forcefully stopped in front of him!
The black blade was gripped between two slender fingers, firmly restrained.
Unable to move an inch!
Streaks of sharp sword energy burst forth, attempting to shatter those two fingers.
But unexpectedly!
They remained motionless, as if two pieces of metal had collided!
The next moment!
The two fingers suddenly exerted force, a faint golden glow appearing, containing an unimaginable Divine Power.
Accompanied by a “crack”!
The short sword instantly shattered, breaking into countless fragments that shot in all directions.
The figure in the darkness’s pupils suddenly constricted, and he immediately retreated!
His black hooded robe wrapped around him again!
His figure flashed backward, merging into the darkness, rapidly fleeing towards the outside of the hall!
“Magic Power Realm Seventh Layer, who gave you the confidence?”
“Trying to escape?”
“Did you ask me first?”
Jiang Yi’s expression was calm, and he glanced at the two outstretched fingers; a fragment was clamped between them.
With a gentle flick from him!
It transformed into a golden stream of light, tearing through the Void Realm, piercing the darkness.
It was incredibly fast!
In a flash!
It embedded itself into the black figure that was almost escaping the hall.
The black figure, seeing that he was about to escape with his life, quietly revealed an expression of relief after a narrow escape.
At this moment, he suddenly stiffened!
His eyes began to widen, carrying a hint of disbelief, and then dimmed.
After a reluctant grunt!
His body staggered, falling forward!
He twitched a few times, then stopped moving.
Dark blood gurgled out!
From his glabella, slowly dripping down the end of a fragment.
It was obvious!
The short sword was laced with a potent poison!
But unfortunately, the sword was useless; it couldn't even cut through Jiang Yi’s outer skin.
[Killed one Magic Power Realm Seventh Layer enemy, plundered 273 years of his Lifespan.]
Assassin, or killer?
Which force did he belong to?
The black-robed man’s concealment technique was quite profound, able to merge with the darkness.
Presumably, the Martial Art he Cultivated was also of extremely high grade.
He himself had also Cultivated it to an extremely high Realm.
Furthermore, on that sword weapon!
A potent poison, enough to threaten a Magic Power Realm expert, was applied!
With such assassination methods!
Even a Peak Martial Cultivator of the Magic Power Nine Heavens, if careless, would fall into his trap.
But unfortunately!
He encountered Jiang Yi!
Not only had he opened his Divine Sense early, but with a sweep of his Divine Sense, there was nowhere to hide!
He also possessed the Acquired Golden Body Physique, comparable to precious golden Divine Power metal, indestructible.
Even cutting a small incision was extremely difficult!
One can only say that falling into his hands—
Was not unjust!!!
“Young Friend Jiang, what happened?”
Hearing the commotion, Bai Bufei, who was nearby, quickly rushed over.
When he saw the fallen body at the entrance, he was first stunned!
Then, after a closer look!
His expression couldn't help but change, revealing a serious look.
“This is...”
“Could it be, Brother Bai, that you know this person’s origin?”
Jiang Yi got up and came to his side!
He looked down at the corpse and asked curiously.
“Judging by his attire, if I’m not mistaken, this person should be from… the Rebirth Hall!”
As if to further verify his guess!
Bai Bufei bent down and circulated the Magic Power within his hands.
Then, he slowly lifted the man’s right hand!
Carefully pulling back the sleeve, revealing the back of the wrist.
On it!
A lotus-like mark was clearly carved!
It was entirely black as ink.
Its appearance was quite strange!
If one looked closely, it didn't resemble a lotus, but rather a hideous ghost face.
Its face was twisted, wailing in pain!
Upon seeing this, Bai Bufei couldn't help but gasp, nodding with a heavy expression.
“Yes, yes, there’s no mistake…”
“It is indeed the Rebirth Hall!”
“All beings suffer, Rebirth to ultimate bliss, one of the most famous top forces in the world!”
Top force?
That would mean this force has at least one True King expert presiding over it.
What puzzled him was when he had offended this force?
“Young Friend Jiang, was this person trying to assassinate you just now?”
“That’s right!”
Jiang Yi nodded, admitting it.
“This…”
Bai Bufei seemed to have thought of something, hesitated, and then fell silent for a while!
He sighed!
“I didn’t expect people from this force to appear here!
It seems they’ve set their sights on you!”
“Oh, why is that?”
“If I’m not mistaken, it’s because you—
Cultivated the King Kong Sect’s ultimate Martial Art!
Not only that, you’ve also successfully Cultivated to the Magic Power Realm.
You’ve reached the point of becoming a King and establishing a Sect!”
Bai Bufei paused!
Seeing Jiang Yi’s still somewhat puzzled expression!
So, he continued to explain:
“The Rebirth Hall is a top force in the world, with a Legacy of over a thousand years.
It claims to have come from Hell, allied with darkness!
Its Sect disciples are most skilled in the Dao of assassination, and are famous throughout the world for it.
The King Kong Sect, however, is different; it upholds the philosophy of uprightness, integrity, and the Righteous Path!
Naturally!
It is at odds with the Rebirth Hall, with constant friction and long-standing enmity.
It is said that back then, it also participated in the plan to destroy the King Kong Sect!
And was the biggest mastermind among them!
They wished to eradicate all King Kong Sect members!
Destroy their Legacy, ruin their Dao lineage!”
“And Young Friend Jiang, you just happen to have Cultivated the King Kong Sect’s ultimate Martial Art, and to such a Realm.
Naturally, you’ve become a thorn in their side!
They wish to eliminate you quickly!
Among this, there might also be some forces involved who reported you to the Rebirth Hall.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have found their way here!”
Bai Bufei speculated,
“Perhaps it’s very likely the now-destroyed Yun Family and Lieyang Sect!
It’s just that the Rebirth Hall’s people arrived late!
Young Friend Jiang, now that you’ve been targeted by them, you must be more careful in the future!
If possible… you should return to your Clan as soon as possible!
With the protection of your Family elders, I imagine even the Rebirth Hall wouldn’t dare to act rashly!”
Bai Bufei thought for a moment, looked at Jiang Yi, and earnestly advised him.
“…Alright!”
A strange glint flashed in Jiang Yi’s eyes, and he didn’t explain too much.
He merely nodded, agreeing.
To think of Jiang!
Where would he find any elders from a large Family!
Oh, actually, there are!
Jiang Dafeng, Uncle Liu Sheng… well, as for letting them protect him, that’s a bit of a stretch.
It’s nice to think about, but let’s just forget it for now!
Everything still depends on himself!
Isn’t it just a True King?
He’s almost there too!
