Chapter 21

Su Tianhong's lips twitched: "Nephew, it's not that I'm unwilling, but my Su family is also in a difficult situation now. Every family has its own troubles. Nephew, please bear with it for now. As for that spirit stone, it has already been used by my son. I really can't give it to you."

After a bit of纠缠 (entanglement), Huang Yu left the Su family, of course, carrying two large trunks, one filled with gold and the other with jade.

As soon as Huang Yu stepped out the door, Su Tianhong's face turned cold: "I'll let you have the means to take it, but not the means to enjoy it."

"Master, that old fox Su Tianhong won't let go so easily. He might attack us halfway," Huang Dashu said after they had walked a short distance.

"I know that, Elder Huang. There's no need to worry. Besides, Elder Huang is now a Core Formation realm expert. As long as the other side doesn't have a Core Formation realm expert, there's no danger," Huang Yu waved his hand. Su Tianhong had handed over so much gold and jade so easily, and Huang Yu naturally didn't think he would let it go so easily.

Of course, Huang Yu knew that Huang Dashu wouldn't act openly. At the very least, he had to give the Jade Alliance some face. If he acted openly, he wouldn't be able to withstand the Jade Alliance. Therefore, if he acted against him, it would likely be in secret, such as an assassination or hiring a killer.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

"Is something wrong?" Huang Dashu, whose cultivation had recently broken through to the Great Perfection of the Innate realm and reached the Core Formation realm, immediately sensed something and became alert, protecting Huang Yu. "Master, don't stay too far from me."

Huang Yu nodded. It was easy to dodge an open attack but hard to guard against a hidden one. Although he wasn't afraid, he should still be cautious. The other side had acted so quickly, attacking before he even got home, which showed that the Su family had been well-prepared.

"Detection Technique."

Huang Yu immediately activated the skill to locate the enemy.

Although the Detection Technique was only a low-grade Mortal skill, its effect was astonishing. It immediately discovered the assassins hiding around.

Four people, four assassins.

Two in the forest ahead, two on the roof at a nearby corner.

Each of them had concealed their aura, lying in wait like corpses, motionless.

Moreover, these four were not weak. The weakest was at the Mid-Innate realm, and the strongest had reached the Great Perfection of the Innate realm.

A grand gesture, absolutely a grand gesture. In a small place like Willow Forest Town, they had even sent a Great Perfection of the Innate realm assassin. It seemed that Old Ghost Su hated him to the bone.

Huang Yu's lips curled into a cold smile. If it were before, he would indeed have no way to deal with it. Facing such an assassination, he would certainly be dead. But now, not only had he broken through to the Second Stage of the Innate realm, but he also had Huang Dashu. Now that Huang Dashu had broken through to the Core Formation realm, the difference between the Core Formation realm and the Great Perfection of the Innate realm was like a vast chasm, which could not be crossed.

A Core Formation realm expert could easily deal with five Great Perfection of the Innate realm martial artists and kill them all, showing the enormous gap between the two realms. This gap was insurmountable.

Therefore, these four people were not a concern for Huang Yu. However, he was curious about their background. Of course, Huang Yu also knew that these four were definitely not from the Su family. He wondered what price the Su family had paid to have these four intercept and kill him.

"Come out, don't hide anymore. Su Tianhong sent you to kill me, and it seems he paid a considerable price." Huang Yu stopped about a hundred meters from the corner, looking straight ahead at the two nearest assassins and shouted.

Seeing that they had been exposed, the four assassins were shocked. They exchanged glances and instantly attacked Huang Yu.

Two black shadows rushed toward Huang Yu at an astonishing speed, like leopards at night.

"Looking for death." Huang Dashu, seeing the assassins about to attack Huang Yu, was furious. As a Core Formation realm expert, he would not tolerate such insolence. The pressure of the Core Formation realm was not to be challenged. He released a powerful aura, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. He clenched his fists and struck out, hitting one of the black-clothed men heavily.

"Bang..."

The black-clothed man was instantly sent flying, colliding with the other black-clothed man, and both were thrown several meters away by the terrifying force.

"Bad, it's a Core Formation realm expert. Run."

The black-clothed assassins at a distance, seeing the situation, immediately chose to retreat. What was supposed to be a sure assassination had turned into a failure because the other side had a Core Formation realm expert protecting them. They decided to abandon the mission.

"Want to run? Not so easy." Seeing them try to escape, Huang Dashu coldly snorted. "If I let you go like this, what would be left of my reputation as a Core Formation realm expert?"

With a light shout, he leaped up like a large bird, his hands spread out in a claw-like shape, and lunged at one of the black-clothed men. The air was torn apart, and the ground was scattered with dust. The leaves around them were blown away, and in an instant, one of the black-clothed men was hit in the chest by Huang Dashu, flying backward like a broken kite.

"Run quickly."

The leader of the group didn't think twice, shouting as he fled, not caring about the lives of his companions. His heart was filled with fear, and he only wanted to escape, wishing he had more legs.

"Hmph." Huang Dashu coldly snorted and moved again. His hands grabbed, and a terrifying suction force emanated from his palms, like an invisible net that caught the two men, preventing them from moving.

However, one of the four had been knocked to the ground, and his condition was unknown. The other two were still entangled with Huang Dashu. The remaining one, seeing the situation, knew that escape would be extremely difficult. He was closest to Huang Yu and decided to take a desperate risk. If he couldn't escape, he might as well try to capture Huang Yu and use him as leverage.

The two who were fighting Huang Dashu were the strongest, one at the Great Perfection of the Innate realm and the other at the Late-Innate realm. Huang Dashu was temporarily restrained and couldn't free his hands. They saw a glimmer of hope and used all their strength to delay.

"Damn." Huang Dashu saw through their intentions, and his eyes flashed with killing intent. If his master was injured under his protection, he would be willing to die a thousand deaths. Enraged, his eyes turned bloodshot, and his hands were covered in veins. His aura, already at its peak, rose even higher.

"Bang..."

The terrifying punch force made the two assassins suffer greatly. Although they were just one step away from the Core Formation realm, they were not there yet. The punch force shattered their internal organs, though not fatally, the pain was unbearable.

They gritted their teeth and held on, knowing that if they didn't, they would die. Their only chance was to wait for their companion to capture Huang Yu and use him as a threat against the Core Formation realm expert.

Meanwhile, the other black-clothed assassin was closing in on Huang Yu, just one step away.

Huang Yu had already noticed his approach.

"Master, be careful." Huang Dashu, seeing that he couldn't reach in time, shouted and kicked a stone, which shot toward the black-clothed assassin like a bullet.

The assassin, not a simple opponent, blocked the stone, but his feet left a deep mark on the ground.

Although he had blocked the attack, he was seriously injured internally. His strength was only at the Mid-Innate realm, and the force of the attack had paralyzed half of his body, taking a while to recover.

Huang Yu's eyes lit up. This was a perfect opportunity.

Fruit knife.

In an instant, his weapon, the fruit knife, appeared in his hand.

"Throwing Knife Technique."

The fruit knife flashed a white light and instantly pierced the black-clothed man's throat.

"-110."

"System: Congratulations, player has defeated a Level 21 Mid-Innate realm assassin, Xiang Hua, gaining 210 experience points and 210 life energy points."

"System: Congratulations, player has obtained Stealth Technique."

"System: Congratulations, player has leveled up to Level 9."

"System: Congratulations, player has leveled up to Level 10."

"System: Congratulations, player's Throwing Knife Technique has leveled up to Low-Rank Human Grade."

"System: Congratulations, player's fruit knife has leveled up to High-Rank Mortal Grade."

Hearing the system's notifications, Huang Yu was overjoyed. This was a great boost in experience. Of course, if not for Huang Dashu's attack, he would have had no chance of defeating the assassin. After all, the assassin was a Mid-Innate realm martial artist and Level 21, 13 levels higher than him, a significant gap.

However, this time, his gains were substantial. Not only did he level up by two levels, but his fruit knife and Throwing Knife Technique also improved. The fruit knife reached High-Rank Mortal Grade, and the Throwing Knife Technique reached Low-Rank Human Grade, increasing its lethality and accuracy.

Most importantly, he gained 210 life energy points, which could help him advance another level.

However, this was not the time to advance. Huang Yu's attention shifted to the remaining three assassins. He didn't want to let the one on the ground go, not knowing if he was dead or alive, so he decided to finish him off.

Thus, Huang Yu's fruit knife flew out again, piercing the enemy's throat.

"Throwing Knife Technique."

"-120."

"System: Congratulations, player has defeated a Level 23 Late-Innate realm martial artist, Xiang Li, gaining 230 experience points and 230 life energy points."

"System: Congratulations, player has obtained a Shadow Dagger."

The sound of the fruit knife piercing the throat broke the morale of the two still entangled with Huang Dashu.

"Bang, bang."

In the moment of distraction, Huang Dashu took advantage of the gap and struck both of them in the chest with powerful punches.

The force penetrated their hearts, and they died instantly. Huang Yu regretted the loss.
