Chapter 98

The Absolute Assassins, simply put, is an assassin sect.

So far, the Absolute Assassins have a 100% mission completion rate.

Because once someone becomes their target, they will not stop until the target is eliminated.

If one attempt fails, they will organize a second, third, and so on...

Until they succeed. No matter who their target is, they cannot be stopped.

If someone can afford the price, they would even dare to assassinate the current emperor.

Xiu Jian easily dealt with the assassin disguised as a passerby, but more hidden assassins were already attacking.

These people were disguised as street vendors, some looked like ordinary women, and some were even holding children a few years old.

But Mu Wan'er discovered that even the children had been trained as assassins.

Although they lacked strength, they were unpredictable.

Any hint of mercy would result in being ruthlessly attacked by the young assassins.

Mu Wan'er had a moment of hesitation, and a young assassin had already left a bloody mark on her arm with a poisoned dagger.

Mu Wan'er felt a tingling sensation in her wrist, and her internal and external strength were both affected.

Bai Chen's face was pale and terrifying, with a dagger still embedded in his back, and it was unknown if his heart had been injured.

Mu Wan'er was flustered; she was not good at direct confrontation.

Ironically, what she was good at was also what these assassins were good at, but their viciousness and ruthlessness were far beyond what Mu Wan'er could match.

Moreover, there were many assassins, and they did not care that they were in a busy street.

In fact, they preferred such noisy streets.

It was the best place for them to hide and ambush. Once the target entered their trap, they would carefully close the net and use deadly poison to drain the last bit of life from their prey.

Seeing Bai Chen's injuries, Mu Wan'er did not dare to easily remove the dagger, as the weapons used by these assassins had blood grooves.

They were specifically designed to bleed and poison. If she pulled it out rashly, it would tear the flesh and bone.

"Bai Chen, how are you?" Mu Wan'er held Bai Chen with one hand and asked anxiously.

"Hehe... If another girl came from the right, I could enjoy the feeling of being swayed from both sides." Bai Chen's face was extremely pale, but he still had the heart to joke. Mu Wan'er felt relieved.

Of course, Bai Chen was also doing his best to heal himself with the Xuan Hu Gong, but the effect of the Ten Fragrant Soft Bone Powder was too strong. Bai Chen's true qi was like an ant trying to pull an elephant. What used to take a moment to circulate once now couldn't even reach one percent.

Several assassins were closing in. Although Mu Wan'er had killed three, she was already injured.

Clearly, with her abilities, she had no chance of winning in a direct confrontation.

If she had enough time, she could destroy these people in an instant.

But this wasn't a turn-based game. Every second was a matter of life and death.

"Go to the embroidery shop and find help." Bai Chen whispered in Mu Wan'er's ear.

Bai Chen's breath was weak, and Mu Wan'er felt a tickle in her ear. His breath made her feel strange, and her ears turned red.

"Find help? Giving them a moment's respite is enough for you to die ten times. By the time I bring help, I'll only see your corpse."

"If you don't go for help, by the time they arrive, they'll see both of our corpses."

"Do you really want me to leave so much?" Mu Wan'er suddenly looked at Bai Chen seriously, her eyes filled with resentment.

"You are one of the Three Heroes. Do I need to teach you this? If you escape, you have a chance to avenge me. If you die with me, who will avenge us?"

"Die with you, not bad."

"I haven't lived enough yet." Bai Chen said weakly.

Three more assassins attacked simultaneously, with one behind them feigning an attack to support them.

This was a common tactic of the Absolute Assassins, making the target struggle and then striking the final blow.

Mu Wan'er extended her fingers, and hidden weapons shot out from her fingertips, causing a burst of fluorescence.

The lead assassin threw himself in front of the weapons and was instantly riddled with holes. The assassin behind him kicked the dead body towards Mu Wan'er.

At the same time, he stabbed the body from behind, the sword piercing through and aiming at Mu Wan'er.

Although Mu Wan'er's skills were not weak, she had never encountered such a vicious attack. The sword tip immediately pierced her heart.

Mu Wan'er's face darkened, and she raised her sleeve, a chain shooting out.

The chain, like a snake, wrapped around the body in front and directly locked onto the two assassins behind, then pulled.

The neck of the assassin was twisted as if cut by a hook.

The assassin who feigned the attack suddenly had a bone dagger in his hand, and in the moment Mu Wan'er couldn't defend, he stabbed Bai Chen in the back.

Bai Chen suddenly felt that the bone dagger that pierced his back was not like ordinary iron, and the position it pierced was extremely vicious, directly piercing into his Conception Vessel.

Bai Chen had never unblocked his Conception Vessel, but for him, it made little difference whether it was unblocked or not.

Due to his special cultivation method and constitution, Bai Chen, who had only unblocked his Governor Vessel, could already fully exert the power of the innate realm.

However, this bone dagger directly broke through the barrier of the Conception Vessel, worsening Bai Chen's injuries but also breaking the barrier of the Conception Vessel.

What Bai Chen couldn't understand was what kind of animal bone this dagger was made of, as it felt like true qi when it entered his body.

As everyone knows, true qi is obtained through the cultivation of internal martial arts, and internal strength is the diluted release of true qi.

Innate experts can release internal strength externally, causing great damage.

Using internal strength to injure enemies is similar to using weapons, but once internal strength enters the enemy's body, it dissipates or is destroyed by the enemy's true qi.

However, this dagger was like substantial internal strength, which could not be destroyed by true qi.

"Dragon Lock Dagger!" Mu Wan'er exclaimed, recognizing the bone dagger that pierced Bai Chen's back. It was a common weapon of the Absolute Assassins, used to lock the enemy's true qi and internal strength.

The Dragon Lock Dagger is dangerous because it cannot be easily removed. If it locks a vital point, it will only lock, but once removed, Bai Chen will be like a punctured balloon, all his true qi will dissipate, and his cultivation will be ruined.

"Damn!" Mu Wan'er was angry, but before she could act, the assassins seemed to have achieved their goal and turned to flee.

However, Mei Jiangxue and her group arrived just as the assassins were about to escape.

The other Three Heroes and Four Heroes were all present, along with a few familiar young knights.

Mei Jiangxue's face was cold, and she raised her hand to kill the lead assassin with one sword. The others were also ruthless, and although the assassins were not weak, they were no match for Mei Jiangxue and her group.

Originally, they had a numerical advantage against Mu Wan'er, but against Mei Jiangxue's group, they lost their last advantage.

Especially Mei Jiangxue, who was ruthless and experienced.

Trying to play tricks in front of her, these assassins were clearly too inexperienced.

Mu Wan'er was resentful. Seeing the reinforcements arrive, she was even angrier and used all her skills, like a killing madman.

Six of the assassins died at her hands.

However, at this moment, Bai Chen suddenly let out a scream.

Lin Tian was standing next to Bai Chen, holding a bloody bone dagger, while Bai Chen lay on the ground, his back injured.

Lin Tian looked at everyone innocently, "I saw a dagger in Bai Chen's body and wanted to help him remove it. What? Did I do something wrong?"

Lin Tian's seemingly innocent face revealed a hint of satisfaction.

How could he not know about the Dragon Lock Dagger?

If it were someone else, Lin Tian might not have dared to do this.

But Bai Chen was just an unknown figure, no matter how talented, he was still just one person.

And Lin Tian was different. He was an elite disciple of the White Emperor City, the first city in the world.

Even if they knew he did it on purpose, what could they do?

A simple "I know nothing" could erase everything.

Besides, Bai Chen had no connection with any of their sects.

Even if they valued Bai Chen, would they be willing to offend the White Emperor City and Lin Tian for a cripple?

"I will kill you!" Mu Wan'er was furious and threw a hidden weapon at Lin Tian.

But Lin Tian was prepared, and his sword instantly came out, deflecting the weapon.

"Little Sister Wan'er, what do you mean by this?"

Cough, cough—

Bai Chen coughed a few times, struggling to raise his head.

Everyone's eyes flickered, and Mu Wan'er, ignoring Lin Tian, quickly helped Bai Chen up.

"Bai Chen, how are you now?"

Bai Chen's eyes were dim, leaning on Mu Wan'er, and a faint fragrance passed through his nose.

"Feeling good."

Lin Tian looked at Bai Chen, his eyes filled with hatred, especially when he saw Mu Wan'er caring for Bai Chen, which only increased his jealousy.

But then he thought, Bai Chen was already a cripple, would Mu Wan'er really run away with a cripple?

"Bai Chen, weren't you a martial arts genius? How did you end up like this, needing Little Sister Wan'er to protect you?"

"Shut up!" Mu Wan'er turned around, her eyes filled with killing intent.

Others also showed suspicion. Yesterday, Mei Jiangxue almost praised Bai Chen to the sky, but now he seemed so weak.

The skills of those assassins were indeed good, but if Bai Chen was as invincible as Mei Jiangxue described, a few assassins shouldn't have been a threat.

Mei Jiangxue's eyes flickered, looking at Bai Chen with pity, "Let's take him back first."

But everyone's attitude towards Bai Chen had completely changed.

Previously, Bai Chen was a genius, especially in alchemy, which was refreshing. Everyone wanted to befriend him.

But now, Bai Chen was a cripple, and they were still the best of the best, so they had no interest in him, only feeling a bit sorry.

Even Cheng Xianyi, who had favored Bai Chen, sighed and ignored him.

People gather with those of similar qualities.

In the eyes of these young elites, this was the rule.

Without matching abilities, there was no right to stand with them.

Only Gao Fei stepped forward, "I'll carry him."

For Gao Fei, no matter what Bai Chen had become, his impression of him would not change.

"Be careful." Mu Wan'er helped Bai Chen onto Gao Fei's back.

Bai Chen had recovered some strength and looked at Mu Wan'er, who was taking care of him.

"What are your plans for the future?" Mu Wan'er's eyes showed a hint of sorrow.

Bai Chen's smile was weak, "What, do you think I can't do anything in the future?"

"Bai Chen, in my view, martial arts are just a small path. The stronger one becomes, the more they lack responsibility. They may be called experts, but not strong. In my eyes, you are a true strong person."

"Righteousness is invincible." Bai Chen said calmly, "Unfortunately, I haven't reached that realm yet."

"Bai Chen has the righteousness of a sage, but not the sentimentality of a woman. Therefore, whether he has martial arts or not, it doesn't matter much to him."

"Ha ha... Gao Fei, you know me so well?" Bai Chen laughed, knowing better than anyone the state of his martial arts.

The Dragon Lock Dagger was a fatal threat to others, but to Bai Chen, who possessed the Xuan Hu Gong, it was no threat at all.

When Lin Tian pulled out the Dragon Lock Dagger, Bai Chen had just entered the innate realm, and the天地灵气 directly dispersed the Ten Fragrant Soft Bone Powder in his body. The Xuan Hu Gong instantly repaired the damaged Conception Vessel.

The Dragon Lock Dagger not only failed to cripple his martial arts but also helped him unblock the Conception Vessel, allowing him to truly enter the innate realm. The flow of天地灵气 was normal, and his breathing was several times faster.

Even now, he was beginning to repair the damage, and the speed was even faster than before.

"Bai Chen should know my background. There's nothing in this world that can escape the ears of the Beggar Sect."
