Chapter 76: Encounter with Assassination
Encountered assassination
Zhou Yuan meditated for another two hours, and he felt tired. Although his physical body wouldn't feel tired due to the nourishment of yuan energy during meditation, Zhou Yuan's heart felt a bit suffocated. Obviously, simply meditating without any purpose or goal wasn't interesting at all, unless it was to break through to the next realm or cultivate a new technique. Only then would Zhou Yuan fully immerse himself in the process and forget about time. However, if he just meditated aimlessly to accumulate yuan energy, Zhou Yuan felt that it was meaningless and suffocating.
He had finished his cultivation and was about to take a short nap. Two days and two nights without cultivating, Zhou Yuan's spirit had been depleted to the extreme, he needed to sleep well to recharge his spirit.
Suddenly, Zhou Yuan felt a wave of unease, he looked around but didn't find anything out of the ordinary, yet this feeling still lingered.
The monk's cultivation, the higher he goes, the more likely he is to form a kind of intuition that can sense danger, although there is no basis for it, but it is very accurate. After Zhou Yuan entered the realm of magic, this feeling would occur from time to time. After reaching the Golden Elixir Realm, as his strength increased, this feeling should become even more acute.
"No, I'm sure of it, something's going to happen...!" Just as Zhou Yuangang thought this, a sudden, muffled voice entered his ears.
"Good job, young man! I just approached this place and was discovered by you. Although I've only recently entered the Golden Elixir realm, the feeling you give me is like that of a master who has been immersed in the Golden Elixir realm for many years. You're no ordinary youngster..."
As they spoke, Zhou Yuan's window paper suddenly shattered, and a figure leapt into his room, clad in black robes, with black hair and a black face mask.
Zhou Yuan couldn't see his appearance clearly at all, but from the other's momentum, he knew that the comer was not a good person. It seemed to be coming for himself.
Zhou Yuan secretly assessed the strength of the incoming person, but couldn't see through it. However, it was clear that he was several times stronger than himself, at least a master of the Killing Life Boundary realm.
"Who are you, sneaking in here at midnight? What's your intention?" Knowing the other person didn't come with good intentions, Zhou Yuan also became impolite and immediately asked coldly.
The newcomer burst out laughing, "Who I am is none of your concern, but my purpose can be told to you. The purpose of this trip is to kill you and bring back the 99 Dao Symbol Locking Golden Elixir method."
Zhou Yuan's entire body tensed up, "You're after this Heart Method? Hmph, you'll be disappointed. Not only will you fail to kill me today, but you also won't be able to take the Heart Method away. If I'm not mistaken, you're from the Yan Family Clan, right? What, did the transaction fall through and now you're regretting it? Or is it that you've taken my Huo Yuan Jing, and now you want to take back this 99 Symbol Lock Golden Elixir Method as well? Isn't this just robbery?"
The man in black's face, which had been full of smiles, stiffened. He hadn't expected that a mere encounter would reveal his identity to the other party.
"How clever, I didn't expect that with just one glance, you would recognize my identity. It's no harm to tell you, indeed, I am a member of the Yan family. If you know what's good for you, hand over your heart method and I can spare your life. Otherwise, as you can see my strength, I am a master of the Killing Life Boundary realm. Although you have broken through to the Golden Elixir realm, killing you would be easier than killing a dog."
Zhou Yuan's eyes suddenly widened in anger, his fury bursting out in an instant. "How dare you insult me? You're asking for death."
Zhou Yuan's double fists suddenly thrust out, a lightning-fast arc of light cutting through the air, straight at the black-robed man's chest. If this blow landed, the black-robed man would immediately be torn in two by the violent thunder and lightning, dying on the spot. Even if he was an expert in the realm of killing with a single glance, he wouldn't dare to withstand Zhou Yuan's lightning-fast arc of light head-on.
Facing Zhou Yuan's sudden move, the black-robed man was shocked and lost his color. "The power of the Thunder Element, you are a Thunder Element mage! My god, I, Wang Jiuzhen, can still witness a mage who cultivates the Thunder Element in this life, it's unbelievable."
Rumble...
Zhou Yuan's Thunderous Arc of Light flew swiftly, instantly cutting to the front of the black-robed man. However, the black-robed man Wang Jiu was after all a strong expert at the level of having gone through the tribulation of killing, and his reaction was swift. In an instant, he dodged it, and the Thunderous Arc of Light cut into the wall of the wine shop, cutting the entire wall in half. The power was enormous, shocking heaven and earth.
At the same time, a figure burst through the door and leapt into Zhou Yuan's room - it was Qin Mingyue.
"Zhou Yuan, is everything okay?" Qin Mingyue asked with concern. He had also been cultivating and felt a commotion coming from Zhou Yuan's place, so he came over. However, before he even arrived, he sensed that the room was suddenly filled with violent lightning energy, clearly indicating that Zhou Yuan was fighting someone.
So he rushed to break through the door of the room and saw this scene in front of him.
Wang Jiuzhen suppressed his shocking thoughts and coldly hummed, "It's better that you all come together, it saves me the trouble of finding each one of you individually. I really didn't expect that this time I would be right on target. Amongst you, there is actually a Thunder System mage! If this news were to spread, how many people in the world would be shocked?"
"Cut the nonsense," Zhou Yuan said with a cold smile. "You've come with ill intentions this time, so don't blame me for being ruthless."
"You are ruthless, how can you be so heartless? You are a master of the Golden Elixir realm, while I have already reached the realm of killing with a single thought. You cannot be my opponent, what else can you do to me? Today, it seems that you will inevitably fall into my deadly hands, today, your death is certain."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Jiuzhen burst out with a punch, and immediately, an icy crystal dragon rushed towards Zhou Yuan, sweeping past him. It turned out that Wang Jiuzhen was actually cultivating water-based magic.
Recite...
The Ice Crystal Dragon's target was Zhou Yuan, it let out a loud roar and charged towards him, with countless ice crystals falling in between.
"This place is not suitable for a long stay, we can't make a move here, the whole tavern knows about it, if the fact that I am a Lei system mage is exposed, there will be big trouble." Zhou Yuan shouted loudly and took the lead in dodging the ice crystal dragon, jumping out of the window. He wanted to lure Wang Jiuyi out of Tongtian City before he could show off his skills. At that time, with his strength, he wouldn't be afraid of Wang Jiuyi at all. Although the opponent's strength was stronger than his, his golden elixir was a 99-symbol locked golden elixir, which was many times more powerful than the same realm mage. Even against a killing master who had experienced the tribulation of life and death, he had the power to fight one battle. Now with Qin Mingyue's help, the two might be able to join forces to kill a killing master who had reached the tribulation of life and death.
"Alright, I'll go with you to the outskirts of the city. It's indeed inconvenient here. Although I'm not afraid, if my identity is exposed, it would be a very troublesome thing and have a bad influence on the reputation of the Yan family."
Wang Jiuzhen also saw Zhou Yuan's purpose, however, he also had this intention and followed Zhou Yuan to the outside of Tongtian.
